Xu Zhiqiong only had this few ingredients and cooked a large pot of broth.
First, I served the little beggar a bowl of steaming soup and meat. With this big bowl, at least half of the little beggar's soul came back.
The wound on the neck has been bandaged by Tong Qingqiu. Brother Tong said that the little beggar has a long life. Although he was almost bitten to death, the dog is old and its teeth are blunt. The dog's teeth only hurt the flesh and not the vital parts. .
I don’t know if I can get rabies, and there is no vaccine at this time.
The little beggar devoured the drink. Xu Zhiqiong touched the little beggar's head: "Eat slowly, there will be more after you finish eating."
After finishing the soup, the little beggar secretly hid the meat in his clothes. Xu Zhiqiong frowned and said, "What are you doing?"
"Eat for grandpa..." The little beggar was very scared and took out the meat that was stuffed into his arms.
Xu Zhiqiong smiled, pulled off a dog's thigh and stuffed it into the little beggar's arms: "Take it!"
The little beggar hugged the dog's legs, thanked Xu Zhiqiong repeatedly, and limped out of Xu Zhiqiong's yard.
Xu Zhiqiong filled another large jar and went next door.
Brother Tong left in such a hurry just now that he didn't even have time to eat some meat.
After entering the gate, Xu Zhiqiong saw Tong Qingqiu kneeling in the hall with an uninhibited smile, holding a cane.
It really is an emergency!
Coming at the wrong time, Xu Zhiqiong put down the jar, turned around and left.
Back in the yard, Xu Zhiqiong served himself a large bowl. Every time he took a sip, he couldn't help but praise, the taste of this meat is so wonderful.
If the Taoist priest saw it, he would probably take a sip.
The fact that I passed the exam today is all because I entered the Judge's Path. Speaking of which, I haven't even thanked the Taoist Master yet.
Taoist Priest, I have meat to eat. It’s not that I don’t miss you. I want to see you. I have to leave my body. After I leave my body, I can’t bring any broth.
Xu Zhiqiong filled another bowl of soup and offered a cup to the Taoist priest: "Thank you, Master, for introducing me to the Judge's Taoist Gate. I will make this bowl of soup for you first..."
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly saw a hand taking the broth from Xu Zhiqiong's hand.
Xu Zhiqiong was shocked and turned pale. He raised his head and saw a thin old man wearing a Taoist robe with white beard and hair. He was holding a soup bowl in one hand and looked at Xu Zhiqiong silently.
He is a Taoist priest.
He is... Taoist Priest?
Live.
Live!
He's here! The Taoist priest is right in front of me!
I had an out-of-body experience and saw the Taoist priest once before, but it was pitch black and I couldn't see anything.
The Taoist priest glared at Xu Zhiqiong, picked up the soup bowl, and took a sip: "The heat is careful, and the taste is a little lighter."
It's a bit bland because there's too little salt.
"Also, there are good things and wine!"
Seeing the Taoist Master for the first time, Xu Zhiqiong was so excited that he hurriedly took out the remaining half pot of mash from the house.
The Taoist priest frowned: "Today is fasting."
"Well, it was the disciple who was abrupt..."
Fasting? But didn’t he eat meat just now?
Xu Zhiqiong didn't dare to ask any more questions. He was about to put away the wine bottle when he heard the old Taoist priest say: "It doesn't hurt to drink two taels."
Xu Zhiqiong quickly poured the wine for the Taoist priest.
The Taoist took a sip, nodded and said, "It's considered a good wine."
"This is the fragrant mash from Sun Yang's shop."
The Taoist priest smiled, drank another drink, and sighed: "Disciple, I have been waiting for you day and night to be my master, and finally I have arrived today!"
It turns out that the Taoist Priest was also looking forward to me passing the exam, but he had said before that he was here to celebrate me specially.
The Taoist Master drank another drink and continued: "You finally entered my Taoist sect today."
Entered the Taoist Gate?
Is this what the Taoist priest is looking forward to?
"Didn't you say that you wanted to kill a very vicious person?"
"The most vicious person is in your pot."
In the pot?
"Does that count as a dog?"
"Why doesn't it count?" The Taoist priest smiled, "Speaking of which, this guy counts as half a person."
Half a person?
"how do I say this?"
"You will soon know the secret behind it. This beast is full of evil, and you will be rewarded if you kill it."
Are there any rewards?
Xu Zhiqiong looked at the Taoist priest excitedly, but saw that the Taoist priest took out a golden bean from his arms, which was twice as big as a peanut.
This golden bean is estimated to have one or two weights, and can be exchanged for ten taels of silver according to the market price!
Ten taels of silver is enough for me to live a happy life for a year!
He killed a dog, ate a pot of meat, and exchanged for ten taels of silver.
I made a profit, I made a lot of money this time!
This master is so generous with his actions, you will definitely not suffer any loss if you follow him!
Xu Zhiqiong laughed so hard that tears ran down his face. The Taoist priest also became happy. He took the golden beans and said to Xu Zhiqiong with a smile, "Eat it."
"Eat..." Xu Zhiqiong thought for a moment and said, "You want me to buy food? It's hard to buy food in the middle of the night. You wait until tomorrow and I'll go to Yuelai Building to buy a table of wine..."
Before he finished speaking, the old Taoist suddenly pulled Xu Zhiqiong over, pinched open his mouth, stuffed the golden beans in, and hit him on the back, so that the golden beans were eaten.
have eaten?
Just eat it like this?
Xu Zhiqiong jumped to his feet, pointed and shouted: "Why are you crazy? Why do you want me to eat this!"
If a golden bean bigger than a peanut is swallowed into the stomach, can it still come out? If it is stuck in the stomach, will it kill you?
Xu Zhiqiong wanted to go to the warlock brother to find a solution. As soon as he reached the door, he saw the Taoist priest wave his hand and Xu Zhiqiong returned to the center of the yard.
Such a powerful force, Xu Zhiqiong flew back like a leaf.
What level of cultivation is he?
The Taoist priest picked up a piece of dog meat and said while eating: "Zhiqiong, this is your first time enforcing the law. Although you say you are decisive, you still have a lot of worries. What should you do if the owner of this dog comes to your door?"
?”
Xu Zhiqiong was worried about the golden beans in his belly, so he casually replied: "Master is too worried, no one saw me when I did it..."
Xu Zhiqiong paused for a moment and thought of the person who attacked him: "There was someone who saw it, but that person was very skilled, so he probably wouldn't do it for a dog..."
"That person is just for this dog," Taoist Master knew who Xu Zhiqiong was talking about, "but you don't have to worry, that person is also a member of my Taoist sect and will never report you."
Is it also what the judge said?
That means you are one of your own!
"Then what are you afraid of?" Xu Zhiqiong frowned and said, "As long as he doesn't report me, where else can that shrew find me?"
"What if she has already come?"
"Already found?" Xu Zhiqiong was startled and quickly locked the door.
The Taoist priest sneered: "Can this door stop her?"
If you can't stop it, the broken door will open as soon as you hit it.
But how could Mrs. Zhang find me?
The Taoist priest waved his robe, and suddenly there was a person beside him. Xu Zhiqiong shuddered, it turned out to be a little beggar.
The little beggar was shaking all over, with tears in his eyes. He looked at Xu Zhiqiong and said: "My dear, I, I won't say anything. You, please let me go. I want to find my grandpa. I miss my grandpa."
Already."
The Taoist Master said with a cold expression: "Let this beggar go. He has a wound on his neck that was bitten by a dog. The owner of the dog saw it. Naturally, he will be captured and tortured. There is still dog meat on his body. How can he deny it?"
?Do you think this little kid can withstand the beating? If he can’t, he will of course have to surrender you. When the dog owner comes to visit, how will you respond?"
The Taoist priest caught the little beggar in advance, which saved Xu Zhiqiong's life.
It was true that Xu Zhiqiong thought less, but what else could he have done at that time?
This little beggar has witnessed everything, how can he still kill him and silence him? Killing and silencing him for a dog?
The Taoist priest also expressed his understanding of this: "After all, it is the first time, so it is reasonable to leave some worries."
While talking, the Taoist priest put his hand on the little beggar's neck, and the little beggar cried out.
This old man is crazy! He really wants to silence him!
Xu Zhiqiong was about to stop the Taoist priest when he suddenly saw that the bandage on the little beggar's neck fell to the ground and the wound disappeared.
Recovered?
Restored in the blink of an eye?
Is this also a skill of Judgement?
The little beggar was still trembling in place. The Taoist priest patted the little beggar on the forehead and the little beggar calmed down.
"Go and find your grandpa."
The Taoist waved his hand, the door opened, and the little beggar walked out with dull eyes.
The Taoist waved his hand again, and the door closed.
Xu Zhiqiong blinked, trying to comprehend the Taoist Priest's series of operations.
He caught the little beggar and let him go.
Isn't he worried that the little beggar will turn me in?
There are no injuries on his body, so Mrs. Zhang should not suspect him.
"But he still has dog meat in his arms..."
"Here is the dog meat." The Taoist Master took out the dog leg and took a bite. "The beggar's matter is finally settled, but you left too many flaws. Three days ago, you beat up this vicious dog, and you fought with that vicious dog."
My wife got into an argument. If she can't find the dog today, she will naturally suspect you."
"There is no evidence, so what if she doubts me?"
"Evil people do evil, but why do they ask for proof? She is an official, you are a white person, and even if you are wronged, you will be killed unjustly."
It seems that the problem has not been solved yet, and Xu Zhiqiong does not know enough about the rules of this world.
Fortunately, after passing the big exam, I can at least change my official status and not be crushed like an ant.
But what to do now?
Will that shrew come to your door tonight?
While chewing the dog leg, the Taoist priest said: "It is the duty of a judge to eliminate violence and keep good people safe. But first, you must protect yourself and be more careful in the future. Have you remembered it?"
Xu Zhiqiong nodded and said: "Remember it!"
After eating the dog legs, the Taoist priest kept the bones aside and touched Xu Zhiqiong's cheek: "After eating the merits of my Taoist sect, you are a member of my Taoist sect. From today on, you are a ninth-grade judge - a mortal member.
Officials, I want to be fair, I want to be righteous, and the judgment of life and death is all based on the laws of good and evil. This is the original intention of my Tao. No matter coercion or inducement, even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, this intention will never change. This will be unswerving until death. I have written it down.
?"
Xu Zhiqiong wiped the oil stains on his face and said with a solemn expression: "Write it down."
What is merit?
That golden bean?
It seems that the adjudication system is a merit system.
The Taoist priest continued: "One day, if you forget your true intentions and act contrary to the laws of nature, I will personally take your life. Do you remember that?"
"Disciple noted it down!"
These words made Xu Zhiqiong's skin crawl. The atmosphere at the scene was indeed solemn.
The Taoist priest sighed and said, "Bring me some wine!"
Xu Zhiqiong quickly took the jug over and took two wine glasses. He was about to have a drink with the Taoist priest, but saw the Taoist priest pick up the jug and drink it all in one gulp!
"How magnificent!" The Taoist priest sighed and put down the wine bottle.
Xu Zhiqiong looked at the empty wine glass in his hand, feeling empty in his heart.
The Taoist priest picked up a piece of dog meat and started chewing it. A ray of fire shone through the crack in the door.
A servant came to knock on the door, and a woman shouted loudly: "You bastard, come out!"
Xu Zhiqiong took a few steps back. He recognized the voice. It was Mrs. Zhang. She was looking for a dog!
