He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that Cao Yilang's state had not changed at all from before. He still maintained the same posture and sat on the same chair.
Will he never move anywhere in his life?
"Cao Yilang, I bring you a gift."
"That's a nice gift. Sit down."
Xu Zhiqiong took out Duan Shiyun's crime and put it on the table.
Cao Yilang, who was dozing, slowly opened his eyes.
This was the first time Xu Zhiqiong saw him open his eyes.
Cao Yilang touched the sin karma and murmured: "Is this the same sect?"
Xu Zhiqiong nodded: "This is scum."
"Whether you are a scum or not, I can't listen to your words. Killing a scum is a meritorious service. If you kill a fellow disciple by mistake, I will keep you to cultivate."
Leave me to cultivate?
We are both at the seventh level, can you beat me?
Cao Yilang suddenly looked at Xu Zhiqiong, as if he heard Xu Zhiqiong's thoughts.
"Don't look down on me, I won't mind beating you! Come to the Mirror of Evil!"
Cao Yilang waved his hand, and Xu Zhiqiong waited quietly for the evil mirror stage.
He thought that the evil mirror platform could fly over by itself.
A gust of cool wind blew by, but the evil mirror platform did not come.
Cao Yilang said: "I want you to help me move the evil mirror stand."
Xu Zhiqiong said: "Why did you ask me to move your evil mirror stand?"
Cao Yilang sighed: "I am already this age."
Following Cao Yilang's instructions, Xu Zhiqiong went to the west wing and moved out the evil mirror stand.
The style of the mirror stand is the same as that of Xia Hu. Xu Zhiqiong wanted to release the soul of the dead, but Duan Shiyun's soul shrank in his sins and refused to come out.
Although his body was dead, the power of his mind was still there, and his sinful karma could have bound his soul. The two powers combined into one, but they competed with Xu Zhiqiong.
Just when Xu Zhiqiong wanted to exert his strength, Cao Yilang took over the crime and searched it from beginning to end, and Duan Shiyun's soul came out.
This is the difference between the upper and lower seventh ranks. Cao Yilang is not exaggerating, he can really beat Xu Zhiqiong.
Different from the dead souls seen before, Duan Shiyun's soul is wearing clothes and has clear outlines, just like a living person.
This seems to be special treatment from the judge.
Cao Yilang took one look and said, "So it's you."
Duan Shiyun clasped his fists and saluted, and said with tears streaming down his face: "Cao Yilang, please make the decision for Duan. Duan was killed by his fellow disciples. He died unjustly!"
"Don't be afraid, take a photo on the evil mirror first."
Duan Shiyun stands in front of the evil mirror. Unlike ordinary dead souls, when the judge stands in front of the evil mirror, his life since entering the realm will be shown.
He entered the Tao very late, entering the rank at the age of forty-six. Due to his indecisiveness and looking forward and backward, he repeatedly missed opportunities to kill thieves, and was not promoted to the eighth rank until he was fifty-seven.
He has been wandering under the eighth rank for three years without receiving any meritorious service. This is why he seeks help from Xu Zhiqiong. He cannot learn how to kill someone with a borrowed knife.
Until he was sixty years old, Duan Shiyun reaped his first share of criminal karma. The criminal karma was only two inches long, and the cause of the sinner's death had little to do with him. In the end, he only received eight points of merit.
At the age of sixty-two, he had another opportunity to reap his sinful karma. He targeted a flower picker, but he didn't rush to take action.
The flower-picking thief originally only had three inches of sinful karma, but he waited until the flower-picking thief had ruined a few more girls and raised his sinful karma to five inches before taking action. At this point, he tasted the sweetness of cultivating evil.
He relied on the method of feeding evil with evil to fatten up his sin karma and then collect it. With his skills and clever use of his fellow disciples, he only took three sin karma and was promoted to the eighth level.
After reaching the eighth grade, he set his sights on Wu Ziqing, a wicked person. This person was born to be a wicked person, and his criminal karma was easy to cultivate. As long as there was a temptation of profit, he would kill his own flesh and blood.
But he couldn't think of a way to force Wu Ziqing to death. Seeing the increase in crime, he couldn't harvest it.
Later, he learned from the Evil Punishment Department that one of the rising stars was Ma Shangfeng, who was decisive in killing. Then he found out Xu Zhiqiong's true identity from Qin Changmao.
He wanted to use Xu Zhiqiong's help to get rid of Wu Ziqing, but he succeeded.
I just didn't expect Xu Zhiqiong to get rid of him too.
Seeing the last scene, Cao Yilang sighed repeatedly: "Old Duan, why can't you admit your mistake?"
"Yilang Mingjian, Duan is right! None of these people were harmed by me, they were all harmed by evil people. Xu Zhiqiong killed his fellow disciples for no reason, and Cao Yilang made the decision for me!" Duan Shiyun burst into tears.
"Don't cry, don't cry, come on, come on, I'll make the decision for you!"
Make the decision for him?
Cao Yilang wants to protect him?
Xu Zhiqiong watched coldly from the side.
Cao Yilang took Duan Shiyun's hand and wiped his tears: "Don't cry, don't cry!"
Duan Shiyun cried aggrievedly, and Cao Yilang repeatedly comforted him.
As Duan Shiyun gradually calmed down, Cao Yilang flipped his wrist and broke one of Duan Shiyun's hands. Before Duan Shiyun could resist, Cao Yilang slapped Duan Shiyun on the head with his other hand.
With a scream and a wisp of green smoke, Duan Shiyun's soul collapsed on the ground, all his clothes faded away, his outline was no longer clear, and he became like an ordinary ghost in the blink of an eye.
This old man is very bad.
He deprived Duan Shiyun of his status as a judge.
Green smoke continued to drift from Duan Shiyun's soul. The green smoke condensed in mid-air and turned into a piece of golden beans, which kept falling.
It is a meritorious service to enter a product.
Upgrading from the ninth rank to the eighth rank, three hundred meritorious deeds.
Below the eighth rank, rising to the middle eighth rank, two hundred meritorious deeds.
There were still some scraps left, a total of 546 merit coins, all of which fell to the ground.
"You feed evil with evil but don't admit it, you are a scumbag!" Cao Yilang kicked the dead soul to the ground, and the dead soul rolled and twitched on the ground.
Cao Yilang picked up the horn, took back Duan Shiyun's soul, handed it to Xu Zhiqiong and said, "For sins, take them to the punishment department to receive rewards."
Xu Zhiqiong took the horn and said thank you.
Cao Yilang gathered up the golden beans on the ground, counted one hundred and ten, and handed them to Xu Zhiqiong.
"Eradicating the scum of the Taoist sect will reward you with 10% of your meritorious service. If this scum refuses to plead guilty, you will receive an additional 10%, and the fraction will be counted as one extra, for a total of one hundred and ten. I shall receive 10%, and the fraction will be counted as one extra, for a total of fifty
Five pills, I will hand over the rest to the Punishment Bureau."
Xu Zhiqiong accepted the meritorious service and thanked him again.
Cao Yilang smiled and said: "The future generations are to be feared. If you practice with concentration, you will have a bright future!"
Xu Zhiqiong saluted again and asked: "Are you Fei Yilang, who specializes in judging the rights and wrongs of judges?"
"Do you want to be criticized?" Cao Lilang smiled, "Please help me put the evil mirror back to the distance first."
Xu Zhiqiong moved the evil mirror table back to the west wing, returned to Cao Yilang, and said, "What this junior is asking is..."
Cao Yilang closed his eyes, nodded and said, "Here you go, sit down."
I'll trap you...
Still in the same position, he fell asleep.
Xu Zhiqiong left Yilangyuan with his merits and crimes in mind.
Before dawn, Xu Zhiqiong went to the flower cake shop.
Business was good tonight, and the flower cakes were sold out early. There were no flower cakes to eat, so Xu Zhiqiong had to hold Sister Lin and eat for a while.
When the office hours were over, Xu Zhiqiong returned home and lay on the bed humming a tune.
After collecting so many sins, I have accumulated enough merits in the seventh rank, but there is still some distance to reach the seventh rank. Four hundred merits in one period is really difficult.
There is no need to be afraid. It is not as difficult as imagined to accumulate meritorious deeds at the eighth level. If you spend a little more time here, it is best to directly save up to the sixth level. When you become a Suo Zhonglang, you can kill without restrictions, and then you will have meritorious deeds at your fingertips!
The way of ruling the judge is so perfect. I really can’t understand why other judges always complain that the path of cultivation is too difficult.
There is never a shortage of bad people in this world. They are waiting for you to harvest them. Is there any happier system than this?
"Have you already achieved three meritorious deeds?"
Xu Zhiqiong waved his hand and said: "It's still early, it's still early, this is the first time!"
"Is it still early?"
"Morning..." Xu Zhiqiong stood up like a carp and quickly saluted the Taoist priest: "Disciple pays homage to the master."
The Taoist priest entered the room at some unknown time. He looked at Xu Zhiqiong and asked, "Duan Shiyun, have you dealt with it?"
"Disposed of it! Master is right. Cao Yilang has good conduct, is fair in dealing with things, and is very warm to others. He let me sit down when we met him, and even let me sit down when he was leaving..."
Xu Zhiqiong wanted to change the subject, but the Taoist priest sneered: "Tell me, how much have you hidden?"
Xu Zhiqiong shook his head repeatedly and said: "Disciple, this is the first time for me to receive meritorious service as an eighth-grade person. In fact, it doesn't count this time. This is to eradicate the scum of the Taoist sect. In terms of methods, it does not comply with the rules of the eighth-grade Taoist sect."
…”
The Taoist Master blinked and said, "Go to the Punishment Division and redeem your merits. I will pass on the seventh-level skills to you."
"Master, I just got Duan Shiyun's sinful karma. I haven't gotten the three meritorious deeds yet, so there's no need to rush..."
"Redeem all your merits and don't ask for beatings!"
Xu Zhiqiong had no choice but to go to the Punishment Department.
The plan to make a fortune in silence has come to nothing.
I walked carefully this way, for fear of meeting that bitch Feng Jing'an, and when I got to the Judge's Pavilion, I was afraid of meeting the two charming bitches from before.
Those two charming bitches were indeed there, but they didn't bother Xu Zhiqiong.
Is it because they were scared when they saw Feng Jing'an being beaten last time? Did they hold a grudge?
One cannot hold grudges. It was Feng Jing'an who was beaten, not them.
Even if they are beaten, they will not hold grudges. How can businessmen have overnight grudges?
It's just that they didn't recognize Xu Zhiqiong. First of all, it was because Xu Zhiqiong was promoted to Qingdeng, his salary was higher, and his clothes were on a higher level than before.
What's more important is that Xu Zhiqiong has a seventh-level cultivation, and everyone regards him as a promoter. The promoter is a competitor in the same industry, not a customer, so no one wants to pay attention to him.
Entering Xia Hu's Judge's Pavilion, Xia Hu was not there, and he didn't know where to fish.
Xu Zhiqiong called out: "Xia Tuiguan!"
Xia Hu didn't come out.
Xu Zhiqiong shouted again: "Xia Nier!"
Xia Hu didn't come out.
Xu Zhiqiong shouted again: "Good lady!"
"What a nonsense!" Xia Hu suddenly appeared from the back room, holding a jade plaque in his hand.
This is not the point. The point is that there is someone behind Xia Hu.
That man also wore a mask. Although his face could not be seen, he looked like a man.
Xu Zhiqiong was very angry. He stood up suddenly, grabbed the man and said, "I haven't been here for a few days, and you are stealing men here!"
Xia Hu stopped Xu Zhiqiong and said, "What are you doing? Be gentle, this is a girl's house!"
girl?
Xu Zhiqiong didn't believe it, so he tested the foundation first.
There is no foundation.
He tested his conscience again.
I have a great conscience.
What a girl!
A sob came from under the mask, and the girl felt aggrieved.
Xu Zhiqiong wanted to test it again, but Xia Hu pinched Xu Zhiqiong's wrist: "Have you come looking for food? Have you eaten enough? You can eat with her again!"
Xu Zhiqiong looked at the girl: "Who is she? Why is she wearing men's clothes?"
"This is my servant."
"Who is the servant?"
"The servant is not a human being, but a ghost. The ghost who works for me was brought from the underworld." Xia Hu rubbed the jade sign and the girl disappeared. "The reason why she wears men's clothes is because I don't want to arouse suspicion."
"What did you do? Why are you afraid of being suspected?"
Xia Hu snorted coldly: "What does it have to do with you? Why should I tell you?"
Xu Zhiqiong touched his chest, revealing a section of horn.
Xia Hu smiled slightly: "Sir, sit down and I will tell you slowly."
Xu Zhiqiong sat on the chair, slapped his thigh and said, "Sit down too!"
"I'll sit with you... but this isn't appropriate!"
"It's not suitable, I'll find someone else!"
"That's all, that's all, I'll just sit down..."
Xia Hu sat on Xu Zhiqiong's lap.
It's business, there's no shame in it.
Besides, it was much gentler than the previous half hour.
"The servants run the underworld for me," Xia Hu explained. "You saw it last time. I can't enter Fengdu City, so I have to have someone run errands for me."
"What are you going to do in Fengdu City?"
"Sometimes it's to buy something, sometimes it's to exchange for a voucher."
Xia Hu's voice became softer, and Xu Zhiqiong knew that this was key information.
"Don't officials rely on convictions in exchange for merit? Can they also go to the underworld to exchange for tickets?"
Xia Hu lowered her voice to the lowest level: "Seventh grade can also use the method of borrowing a knife to kill people to collect some of the crime back, like the eighth grade, but there are two rules that cannot be broken.
First, there must be someone in the Judge's Court at all times. If the punished evil chief is found to have left his post without permission, the judge will be severely punished. The same is true for Yilang, who must stay in the Yilang Courtyard.
I will also go to investigate..."
At this point, Xia Hu suddenly stopped and asked Xu Zhiqiong: "Do you listen or not?"
Xu Zhiqiong nodded and said: "Listen, how can you not listen to such an important matter!"
"If you want to listen, listen carefully and don't touch it again. Didn't you touch it enough last time?"
Xu Zhiqiong took his hand back.
Xia Hu continued: "The second rule is that we, the officials, should try not to go to Fengdu City. According to the rules, the warden of Yama Palace cannot directly redeem the voucher for us. We have to find a helper."
Xu Zhiqiong understood: "The female ghost just now was your helper. She went to the Yama Hall to get the ticket."
Xia Hu nodded and said: "Let the servant take the ticket as the nameless judge, but there are some risks. First, the servant cannot control the undead, and the undead may escape on the way. Second, the ticket of the nameless judge can easily be lost."
Being robbed...are you going to listen or not?"
Xu Zhiqiong nodded: "Listen, listen carefully!"
"Then take your hands out!"
Xu Zhiqiong took out his hand.
Xia Hu straightened her clothes and then said: "Anyway, when I ask the servant to do things, you should accompany her as much as possible and send her to the gate of Fengdu City. You wait at the gate. At this time, you have to leave the Judge's Pavilion. Once she is
If the long history of punishing evildoers finds out, they will be punished."
Xu Zhiqiong said in surprise: "I can't even leave for a while? Am I still living here?"
Xia Hu said: "I told you to listen carefully. You are just taking advantage of me. Now that you have entered the seventh rank, you will either live in the Judge's Pavilion or the Yilang Courtyard. If you leave even one step, you will break the rules. Do you know that?"
This won't work!
I can't stay here forever!
"I still have serious errands to do in the mortal world!"
Xia Hu shook his head and said, "Now that we have reached the seventh level, we should let go of our mortal affairs."
"Put it down, what do you want to eat? Will the punishment officer give you any money?"
"You don't have money, you have to earn it by yourself. Now you know how hard it is for me. Is it easy for me to sell songs, flowers, and eggs?"
Xu Zhiqiong asked: "Are you still going to play sumo? Xiao Sanniang from Peony Shed, is it you too?"
Xia Hu shook his head and said: "Xiao Sanniang from the Peony Shed is a good judge. Her name is Zhuo Ling'er. She is a tolerant person and is willing to make a living as a hooker. I won't go there. Who is a serious person who is going to do the work of planting land... Oops!"
Xia Hu rubbed the fat peach and said, "Just touch it. Why are you pinching me?"
Xu Zhiqiong was dumbfounded, what should I do?
If I quit being a lantern holder, what will I do for a living in the future?
"Shall I go sumo wrestling too?"
Xia Hu snorted and said, "Who is looking at you!"
"Do you think this will work," Xu Zhiqiong said, "I will also find a servant to work for me in the Judge's Pavilion, while I fish in the mortal world to find business."
Xia Hu snorted and said: "If someone asks you to judge a case, will you let the servants judge for you? How many merits do you have enough to compensate him?"
makes sense.
Xu Zhiqiong thought about it and said, "What if I become a critic? He seems to have nothing to do there."
Xia Hu shook his head and said: "The master will judge right and wrong. If you don't open for three years, you will have to wait for three years after opening. They are doing big business. If they do it right, they will make more money. If they do it wrong, they will lose miserably. You Are you sure you can leave it to the servants?"
Xu Zhiqiong thought for a moment and then asked: "If I call here three times, you will appear. What method is this?"
"This is an ear-pulling lamp," Xia Hu pointed to the lampstand on the desk. "When I'm not around, light this lamp. If someone calls, I can naturally hear it."
"Where did this light come from?"
"It's available in Fengdu City."
"But even if you heard it, it would still take a long time to run here from the door of the Punishment Department."
Xia Hu shook his head and said: "When you have the Judgment Pavilion, you will have a foundation in the Punishment Department, and you will go to the pavilion."
Xu Zhiqiong played with the fat peach and said with a smile: "This is a good thing."
"Although things are good, you still have to be careful. You can't escape from the mortal world smoothly all the time. Many people miss important events because they can't escape. Some even have ex-servicemen judge cases indiscriminately, which makes the judges lose their jobs. Cultivation."
It seems that we have to choose someone reliable for this battle.
Xia Hu said softly: "Official, there are only two petals in total, you must have had enough!"
Xu Zhiqiong understood what she meant and quickly took out all his sins.
When Xia Hu saw that Yuan's crime was only an inch long, he exclaimed: "It's so short, how dare you show it out?"
Xu Zhiqiong said angrily: "What kind of words are these? Are they short-lived and useless?"
"It's not that it's useless, it's less than two inches, but you broke the rules..." Xia Hu was suddenly stunned. She realized that this crime was wrong, "This is a crime that has been reduced. Could it be said that it is...a reward?" Goodness, you reward kindness!"
Xu Zhiqiong nodded.
"This, this, this one is worth two hundred merit!"
Xu Zhiqiong nodded again.
Xia Hu cried, really cried, tears streaming down the mask.
"Madam, why are you crying?"
"Based on this, are you going to be promoted to the seventh rank?"
Xu Zhiqiong nodded and said, "This is a good thing, but aren't you happy for your husband?"
"I'm so happy!" Xia Hu cried, "I have been an official for more than three years, and I am only at the seventh rank. You have only been in the seventh rank for only a few days. This is so annoying!"
