Chapter two hundred and thirty second lady, I support you
Chang Decai was taking care of Yang Wu in the inner room, while Xu Zhiqiong collected his horns in the outer room.
A servant is a ghost servant who has been legally purchased by the judge after completing the procedures in the underworld. Therefore, whether in the punishment department or the underworld, there is an unwritten rule that the prisoners executed by the servant must be counted against the judge.
So here comes the question, slaves don’t have the eyes of sin and cannot see the sins of criminals. What should we do if we kill the wrong person?
For example, in the past two days, Chang Decai and Yang Wu killed more than a hundred Confucian scholars. Have the sins of these Confucian scholars reached two inches?
Obviously not, forty percent of Confucian students have less than two inches of sin.
How to deal with this account?
There are two ways to deal with it. The first is to hide it and not deal with it. After all, he was killed by a slave. As long as no one pursues it, the matter can be hidden.
But it would be troublesome if someone wanted to hold him accountable. If a ghost servant commits a crime, the owner still has to bear the blame.
Another method is to ask a judge to make a judgment and indicate that these people should be killed. If they are not killed, more people will be killed.
The verdict of Shi Fei Yi Lang is very critical. Most judges are not willing to go to Shi Fei Yi Lang. Once it is found to be an unjust killing, the judge will be severely punished.
Xu Zhiqiong chose the second option. These Confucian scholars were committing crimes everywhere and should have been killed. Besides, Cao Yilang can be dealt with. Regardless of good or bad, at least be fair and ask him to get a pardon.
The book is not difficult, and you can get everything done right the first time, saving you the worry in the future.
Xu Zhiqiong picked off all the Confucian scholars' sins and put them in two bags, and then took the sins collected before.
Previously, a group of Confucian scholars were killed in the capital, a total of 143 people before and after them.
In several fierce battles in the north, another 172 Tunu were killed.
Chang Decai and Yang Wu killed many Confucian scholars and had a total of seventy-one sins that could be used.
There were a total of two hundred and sixteen sin karma sticks picked up from the battlefield.
There is no time to measure the length one by one. It will definitely be enough to reach the sixth grade. There is hope of even rising to the sixth grade.
Take it to the Punishment Division and show it to your wife!
etc!
Xu Zhiqiong looked around the room and realized a serious problem.
First, he couldn't carry so many sins. Not only was the weight a problem, but the size was also too large.
Second, if he really carried so many sins, he would definitely attract Feng Shaoqing’s attention.
This guy is at odds with him in the Taoist sect. In the mortal world, he has a special status and is also Xu Zhiqiong's enemy. As long as he is discovered, he will definitely cause trouble.
In the past, Xu Zhiqiong was really not afraid of him causing trouble, but the situation is different now. Chang Decai and Yang Wu killed more than 40 Confucian scholars with less than two inches of crime. If Feng Shaoqing interfered, Xu Zhiqiong would be in trouble.
Probability will be punished for this.
Of course, Xu Zhiqiong was right, and if he was pushed too hard, he could go to the Good Rewards Department or even the Tombs Zaifu.
But there is no need to do this. The safest way is to bring some of the sin karma up without attracting Feng Jing'an's attention.
How much is appropriate to bring?
Carrying a sack is too eye-catching and definitely inappropriate.
Then it depends on how much you can carry.
Xu Zhiqiong found the widest cotton-padded coat and put it on, and began to stuff the sin karma into it. When he couldn't stuff it anymore, Xu Zhiqiong took a look at Yang Wu.
Yang Wu was sleeping soundly, so there should be nothing serious. Chang De raised his head and exclaimed: "Master, what's wrong with you?"
Xu Zhiqiong shook his head and said: "It's nothing. I've gained some weight. You killed more than a hundred Confucian scholars. Have you subdued them?"
Chang Decai shook his head and said: "The slave family... our family is useless. After killing so many people, those Confucian scholars did not restrain themselves. Now things are getting bigger and bigger. It is said that they even went to the Taishi's house to cause trouble."
"Which Grand Master? Yan Anqing?"
Chang Decai nodded.
Yan Anqing is the chief minister of the cabinet. How dare they go to the home of the chief minister of the cabinet to cause trouble?
Gongsun Wen was also too imprudent.
He is a bit arrogant, but he is not a reckless man after all.
This thing is wrong. What on earth is Gongsun Wen going to do?
No, don’t think about it first.
Xu Zhiqiong felt that there was a force in the dark that was always interfering with his concentration.
Don't think about anything, just change the merits first.
Xu Zhiqiong put aside his distracting thoughts and went directly to the Punishment Department. As soon as he arrived at the Judge's Pavilion, two charming officials came to greet him.
These two people really have no memory. Xu Zhiqiong beat Feng Jing'an in front of them last time and scared them to death. Why do they dare to come and pester them this time?
"This middle man, you must have had a hard journey all the way. Look at the sweat on your head. Come here and let me wipe it for you."
"Brother Zhonglang, you are really rare. Come to my pavilion for a cup of tea first!"
They did not recognize Xu Zhiqiong.
One is because Xu Zhiqiong has never been to the Evil Punishment Department in the capital since he was promoted to the sixth rank. Xu Zhiqiong's identity cannot be determined based on his cultivation alone.
Secondly, Xu Zhiqiong was wearing a mask and his body was filled with sins. He looked much fatter and could not be identified from his body shape.
Xu Zhiqiong didn't say anything, pushed away the two officials, and went directly to Xia Hu's Judge's Pavilion.
"Xia Tui Guan, Xia Tui Guan!"
Xu Zhiqiong called twice, and Xia Hu came out of the back room, took a look, and asked, "I don't know what you call this lieutenant."
This woman can't even recognize her husband.
"Madam, it's me!" Xu Zhiqiong responded and took off his shirt.
"You thief Pi," Xia Hu finally recognized Xu Zhiqiong, "you still know how to come to me? You didn't say a word and left as soon as you said you wanted to. How dare you call me your wife?"
Why did you take off your clothes? What did you want to do when you came to my place? Let me tell you, we are innocent, don’t think that I..."
Wow, the horn fell to the ground.
Xia Hu blinked his eyes and said: "Then, what, officer, officer, thank you for your hard work. I will help you take off these clothes."
Xia Hu took off his outer shirt and found a cotton-padded jacket inside. Xia Hu took off the cotton-padded jacket and found more than twenty horns.
There is also a short robe inside the cotton-padded jacket, and there are more than a dozen horns inside the short robe.
There are more than a dozen horns hidden in the outer trousers.
There are still more than twenty strands in the cotton pants.
There is also a pair of water pants among the cotton pants, and there are also a dozen of them.
After taking off the water pants, only a close-fitting one was left inside. Xu Zhiqiong stopped Xia Hu and said, "Madam, you can't take them off anymore, they're gone."
"It's okay. What are we afraid of? Let's show it to my wife."
"It's really gone."
"Are you two still shy? Look at how tired you are and how sweaty you are. I'll fetch water for a while and help you take a bath to see how much you have left."
"There's not one left!"
"Hurry up and let me see! What's the use of hiding it! Do you want to leave it to some vixen?"
After searching carefully and making sure that there was nothing hidden, Xia Hu excitedly counted the horns on the ground: "My lord, this time I can be promoted to the seventh rank."
Xu Zhiqiong put on his clothes and said, "Don't you ask me where these horns come from?"
Xia Hu smiled and said, "It's no need to ask. You are famous in the capital. The Confucian scholars call you Xu Dengmo, the Suzaku cultivators call you Xu Denghao, and the wandering warblers in the east of the city call you Xu Menglang. They also call you Menglang." I went and the sisters served together without receiving a penny."
"Then I really have to go and see."
"Why are you going there? Aren't you afraid of getting sick and coming back?"
"Afraid! Why aren't you afraid? Even if I don't feel sorry for myself, I can't hurt my wife!"
"You dare to harm me? How could you harm me? You, you... what a joke!" Xia Hu punched Xu Zhiqiong, and then collected his horns.
Xu Zhiqiong brought a total of one hundred sin karma, and after roughly measuring the length of the horns, Xia Hu fell into deep thought.
"Official, the total of these crimes should be 3,000 points of merit, which is enough for you to be promoted to the sixth rank. But how can you bring back these merits?"
Three thousand golden beans are too heavy to carry!
"Feng Shaoqing has been inquiring about you recently. If you dare to redeem three thousand merit coins at once, I guarantee you will not be able to leave the Evil Punishment Department."
Xia Hu was careful and thought more thoroughly than Xu Zhiqiong. A hundred sins were still too many.
After thinking for a long time, Xia Hu came up with an idea: "Can you trust me?"
"Who else can I trust in this world besides you?" Xu Zhiqiong patted his thigh and said, "Madam, sit down!"
Xia Hu smiled and sat on Xu Zhiqiong's lap: "If you really trust me and place your crimes on me, so many crimes cannot be sentenced in half a day. I will write the verdict while asking the servants to help me. I honor my merits,
Redeem three to five coins at a time so that others won't be suspicious, and you won't have to run to the honor building, and don't let Feng Shaoqing see you.
When it's almost done, I'll ask you to come get it. If you don't trust me, just come to me a few more times and I'll give you as much as I've redeemed.
If you still can't trust me, go to the underworld to find out the root cause. You are responsible for the crime, and since the name on the ticket is also yours, I don't think you can escape it."
"As you say, why should we care so much about each other? Just come to me after you finish redeeming everything."
Xia Hu hooked the bridge of Xu Zhiqiong's nose: "Aren't you afraid that I will swallow up your merits?"
"If you swallow it, swallow it. I am willing to give it all to my wife. I am a person who can make money. From now on, I will support my wife."
"It sounds like you really have some conscience."
"You have a conscience, it's huge!" Xu Zhiqiong put his hand on Xia Hu's conscience again.
Xia Hu pinched Xu Zhiqiong's cheek and did not struggle: "You are just sweet-talking. I heard that you went to fight in the north. I am worried about you every day, but you don't have me in your heart at all."
"How do you know I don't have you in my heart?" Xu Zhiqiong shook his conscience hard.
"Why didn't you tell me about the war? You didn't even tell me about your promotion to the sixth rank!"
"Speaking of the sixth-level skill, I'm really upset. Madam, I still don't know what the sixth-level skill is."
Xia Hu was stunned: "Didn't your master tell you?"
"Master had something urgent to do. He helped me rise to the sixth level and then left in a hurry without explaining anything."
Xia Hu was also in trouble: "I really don't know the sixth-grade skills. All sixth-grade judges keep it secret. I have never seen any judge above sixth grade.
When Brother Qian comes, I will help you keep him, and we will find a way to ask him out."
"Brother Qian should come here more often. The Confucian scholars in the capital are causing so much trouble, why doesn't he take the opportunity to collect more sins?"
Xia Hu smiled and said: "You are the only one who has the courage. Who else would dare? It is said that there is a third-grade scholar behind them. Who in our punishment department dares to provoke a third-grade scholar?"
Besides, Feng Shaoqing just said a few days ago that the judges in the capital are not allowed to kill Confucian practitioners without authorization, and if they violate the prohibition, they will be severely punished. Even those of us who judge officials and sentence Confucian scholars have to be wary!"
Feng Jing'an, this bastard, blatantly protected the criminals without any shame.
It seems that his relationship with Gongsun Wen is unusual!
Gongsun Wen was definitely not so arrogant just to show off in front of Emperor Zhaoxing. He had other agendas.
"Madam, after you have redeemed your merits, you will eat first. After you are promoted to the sixth rank, you will move to the Zhonglang Courtyard. Don't work here as an official."
Xia Hu's hands trembled, and she touched Xu Zhiqiong's cheek and said, "Are these words sincere?"
"Can this still be false? If you don't believe it, let's become a real couple now!"
Xu Zhiqiong picked up Xia Hu and walked into the back room. Xia Hu struggled desperately: "No, I can't, you dare! Have you found a matchmaker? Are you willing to accept it? You have to drink a glass of Hexin wine no matter what, you can't just do it like this I will marry you casually!"
Xu Zhiqiong carried Xia Hu into the back room, and suddenly heard the bell ringing loudly outside.
What's going on?
Xia Hu patted Xu Zhiqiong and said: "Put me down quickly, Feng Shaoqing is going to gather to promote officials!"
"What are the officials gathering for?"
"They have to assemble every one or two days, sometimes giving lectures, sometimes interrogating, and I don't know what he is going to do. You should go quickly and don't let him see you!"
Xu Zhiqiong pinched Xia Hu's cheek: "You must be careful."
Xia Hu was also reluctant to give up and kissed Xu Zhiqiong on the cheek: "Are you still going to the north?"
Xu Zhiqiong nodded and said: "The battle is not over yet."
Xia Hu bit her lip: "I'm waiting for you to come back and come back in good shape!"
