A group of judges returned to the Punishment Division and squatted in the yard to catch their breath for a long time.
Since they entered the Taoist sect, they have never done such a big business. Liu Benxiang, a mortal official, wiped the blood on his body and said with a smile: "I killed seven people today! The crime is only two inches higher!"
Another mortal official, Qu Shaoyou, asked: "Just remembering to kill people, have you taken away your sinful karma?"
Liu Benxiang's smile instantly froze. He touched his chest and found that there were only two sin karma.
"I, I, I forgot, I just picked two horns! What should I do? Am I going to die at a loss?" Liu Benxiang grinned and cried on the spot.
Qu Shaoyou sighed: "I killed eleven people, but I only got back six sin karma. When I encountered a big battle, my hands were still shaking after all."
Zheng Wuguang said: "What's the use of killing Ren Duo? I just killed three people and recovered all three sins."
Liu Benxiang cried more and more miserably. Zhang Renxia comforted him: "It's okay. I guess they haven't confiscated the body yet. We'll sort it out later and maybe we can find those few sins."
Qiu Zhixin shouted: "You are not allowed to go, are you seeking death? Do you know how chaotic it is outside now, and how many people are searching for us? Please stay here in the Punishment Department."
The official Zhao Wugong said from the side: "Qiu Changshi, don't forget the business, we have to go to the outside of the city to meet with Ma Changshi."
After everyone rested for a while, Qiu Zhixin took everyone to Chengfeng Pavilion and arrived at an abandoned village outside Zhuyuan City.
Zhang Renxia said: "This Ma Changshi hasn't come yet?"
Zhao Wugong said: "How could he come so fast? We flew here, and he had to walk."
Liu Benxiang cried: "Brother Zhang, let's go back and take a look later. I killed seven people and picked off two horns."
Zhang Renxia said angrily: "Don't cry, mother. It makes me worried. I still have a few achievements in my hand. Otherwise, let's talk about it later..."
"Don't talk about it in the future, Brother Zhang, didn't you say you wanted to run the hot spring? Didn't you say you wouldn't be in our sect from now on?"
"I just said it casually, there's no such thing as a hot spring..." Zhang Renxia changed his mind.
After this great battle, he felt that he still had to continue cultivating the Judge's Path.
…
After chatting for more than an hour, everyone gradually became quiet.
They promised to make peace in half an hour, but Xu Zhiqiong never came.
Zhang Renxia looked at Qiu Zhixin and said, "Why hasn't he come yet? Didn't we agree for half an hour? There must have been some mistake."
Xu Xiaosheng sighed and said: "There are two seventh-grade men on the opposite side, and a Mohist, and there are so many sergeants and cadres. Even if he is a fifth-grade man, his two fists are hard to beat with four hands."
"That's right," Zheng Wuguang, a mortal official, said, "I think he has never been beaten or suffered a loss. I don't know what means he used to rise to the fifth level. He doesn't know what the sky is and the earth is high."
"Why don't you blush when you chew your tongue behind someone's back?" Zhao Wugong was very dissatisfied, "Why didn't you say these things so early in the morning? Why didn't you say them in front of Ma Changshi?"
Zheng Wuguang snorted and said, "I'm talking about him, why are you so anxious? Why do you feel sorry for him?"
"Can't I feel sorry for him? He is our comrade, and he is a good man! How many good men like this are there in our sect, and I can't give up this cultivation at any cost!"
Zhang Renxia sighed: "Let's think about what to do in the future. We have offended the prefect, and I'm afraid we won't be able to stay in Zhuzhou anymore.
Come with me to Huazhou to do the soup and spring business. Xu Xiaosheng is a good talker and will be a waiter. The three of you three in the ninth grade will work as handymen first. Officer Zhao Tui is handsome and can earn a lot of money."
Zhao Wugong shouted: "Believe it or not, I broke your teeth? I miss Tangquan every day, why are you waiting so long? Go to Huazhou now and get on your way!"
Zhang Renxia smiled bitterly and said, "I'm not doing this for everyone's sake, so Magistrate Kong will definitely not let it go."
"Afraid of a ball?" Zhao Wugong straightened his waist, "I can't kill him this time. Let's kill him again in the future. Look at the crimes on his head, which are more than eight inches tall. How can such a disaster be left behind?"
in the world!"
Zheng Wuguang snorted and said: "Don't worry about it blindly. Even the fifth-grade judge died in his hands. Why do we want to kill the prefect again? Do we really not know how high the sky is? Now we are afraid that Ma Shangfu will be killed."
Captured alive, we will all be surrendered when the time comes."
Qu Shaoyou smacked his lips: "I said, what are you guessing here? How did you know that Ma Changshi missed? I don't think that person is a mortal, let's just wait for a while."
Xu Zhiqiong said: "That's right. What will happen if you wait a little longer? It's not you who will be affected."
"That's not what you said, we also did our best..." Qiu Zhixin was startled, and suddenly raised his head, only to see Xu Zhiqiong appearing among the crowd at some unknown time.
Zhao Wugong said with a surprised look on his face: "Ma Changshi, you are really safe and sound."
Zhang Renxia said: "I was just talking nonsense, Ma Changshi, I am an ignorant person, but I thought you made a mistake."
Zheng Wuguang quickly changed his words and said: "They are all worrying about it. Who is Ma Changshi? Why should they be afraid of him as a prefect? I can't stand their attitude!"
Xu Zhiqiong patted Zheng Wuguang's face: "Don't tell me I haven't been beaten or suffered a loss?"
"I, I didn't say that, that's not what I said..."
"I heard it all, you know? The road is narrow, you know?"
Zheng Wuguang lowered his head and trembled with fear.
Zhao Wugong puffed up his chest and said: "As long as Ma Changshi likes us, we will take action tomorrow and kill that dog officer no matter what!"
"Why wait until tomorrow?" Xu Zhiqiong turned around, picked up a sack and threw it on the ground.
Qiu Zhixin quickly stepped forward and opened the sack, only to see that there was a person in the sack who was blindfolded, tied tightly, and thrown to the ground.
"This is Kong Jianchen, Governor Kong!" Zhang Renxia exclaimed.
All the judges were stunned.
Qiu Zhixin said in astonishment: "Ma Changshi, did you capture Prefect Kong alive?"
Zhao Wugong said: "This, this is how to say..."
Qu Shaoyou murmured: "This is a hero."
It was the first time Zheng Wuguang saw the prefect at such a close distance. His knees were slightly bent and he felt the urge to kneel down.
Fortunately, he restrained himself. If he dared to kneel, Xu Zhiqiong would destroy his cultivation on the spot.
Xu Xiaosheng said from the side: "Ma Changshi came a little late because he wanted to capture the prefect alive."
"Catching him won't waste much time. It's you two who really waste my time!"
Xu Zhiqiong first took out five horns from his arms and gave them to Liu Benxiang: "You killed seven people and picked up two sinful karma. The foundation of your practice is really not solid."
Liu Benxiang was very happy, and his excited nose flowed out of his mask: "Thank you, Chang Shi, thank you..."
Xu Zhiqiong turned his eyes and looked at Qu Shaoyou: "You are really smart when it comes to killing people. How many have you killed in total?"
Qu Shaoyou smiled sheepishly: "I remember it was eleven."
"You remembered wrongly, it was thirteen, but you only picked up six sin karma." Xu Zhiqiong took out seven sin karma from his arms and gave them to Qu Shaoyou.
Qu Shaoyou held his guilt and looked at Xu Zhiqiong, always wanting to say something, but not knowing how to express it.
One sentence kept echoing in his mind: "This is a hero, this is a hero."
Xu Zhiqiong said to Zhao Wugong: "The merits of the three mortal officials must be calculated. You and the two chief clerks also contributed a lot. When writing the judgment, your merits must not be neglected. I have also received a few.
You can share your sinful karma, and I will write a document to Qiu Changshi later."
"I will obey your orders." Zhao Wugong's eyes did not want to leave Xu Zhiqiong for a moment.
Xu Zhiqiong smiled and said: "You're married, haven't you? Do you still care about this family's affairs?"
Zhao Wugong's cheeks were slightly red and he said: "What kind of family do I have? I don't like women, and I will be alone in this life. What I said before about getting married was just a few angry words. Don't mind it, Chang Shi."
Xu Zhiqiong looked at Zhang Renxia and said, "Aren't you going to Huazhou to run hot springs?"
"What's so good about Tangquan?" Zhang Renxia said with a naive smile, "With this wave of achievements, it's time for me to be promoted to the seventh rank, and just be a good recommendation official like Zhao Wugong."
"Don't be a promoter, you have to be a judge of right and wrong."
Zhang Renxia scratched his scalp, he really didn't understand what Fei Yilang meant.
Xu Zhiqiong looked at Wei Benxiang again: "Do you still want to change your path?"
Wei Benxiang said with an innocent face: "Ma Changshi, it's not me who wants to change the Taoist sect, but Zheng Wuguang who wants to change the Taoist sect. He himself said he has no talent."
It turned out to be him.
It's him again.
His path became narrower and narrower.
Xu Zhiqiong looked at Zheng Wuguang and said, "You really have no talent, just leave if you want."
Zheng Wuguang lowered his head and said, "I know I was wrong. Chang Shi, please stop making fun of me."
"I'm not sarcastic. I really think you have no talent. If you want to leave now, I won't stop you."
Zheng Wuguang did not dare to say anything.
Xu Zhiqiong stepped forward and kicked Magistrate Kong: "It's his turn next."
Qiu Zhixin drew out his short sword and said, "They may not dare to take action, so let me do it. I will kill him with one sword and the merit will be shared equally with the brothers."
"That's not okay. If you have anything to do, you have to ask him." Xu Zhiqiong stepped forward and untied Kong Jianchen, and also untied the guy who was gagging.
Kong Jianchen shouted in a hissing voice: "Who are you? What do you want to do? You kidnapped the imperial officials, aren't you afraid of having your entire family executed?"
Xu Zhiqiong stepped forward and kicked Magistrate Kong down, stepped on his face and said: "Suck the blood of the people and eat the flesh of the people, just to lie about your achievements, but how many lives have been lost? Kong Jianchen, you know your guilt.
