Xu Zhiqiong pretended to be Kong Shengwei, stood in front of the door, and warmly entertained all colleagues.
A seventh-grade official rushed in: "Kong Changshi, where are those Taoist scum?"
"Kong Shengwei" smiled and said: "All the scum have been killed by Dr. Sun, let's just come over and help collect the bodies."
The official nodded and said, "I'm good at this. Where is the body? I'll clean it up right away. I'll make sure it's clean and leaves no trace behind!"
He was in such a hurry, it was obvious that he was rushing to collect his sins.
It is not easy to gain merit by being promoted to an official position. If you take away the sins of your colleagues, you will get extra rewards and you can earn some fame.
"Kong Shengwei" pointed upstairs and said: "They are all upstairs. Go quickly, you are the first one to come."
The official looked happy and was about to run upstairs when he suddenly heard Lu Yanyou shout: "The water is boiling!"
The official turned around and asked, "What kind of water do you want to boil?"
"Kong Shengwei" explained: "Boil water to make tea! Doctor Sun is afraid that the brothers will have to work hard, so he is preparing tea!"
"Why are you so polite? What's the trouble!" The official happily ran upstairs.
Not long after, another eighth-grade chief register ran in and saluted "Kong Shengwei" repeatedly.
"Kong Shengwei" said: "Stop dawdling here, Doctor Sun is waiting upstairs!"
The eighth-grade chief clerk hurried up the stairs and heard Lu Yanyou shout again: "The knife is sharpened!"
The chief clerk asked: "Why sharpen the knife?"
"Kong Shengwei" said: "Kill the chicken, we can't let everyone work on an empty stomach!"
The eighth-grade chief clerk went upstairs, and not long after, another ninth-grade mortal official came.
"Kong Shengwei" frowned and said, "Are you coming too?"
The mortal official said: "When Kong Changshi calls, how dare I not come?"
Hearing that this man's voice was a bit aged, and there were a lot of white hair on his head, "Kong Shengwei" frowned and said, "When did you enter the Taoist sect?"
The mortal official said: "I have been a Taoist for thirty-two years, and I am the oldest mortal official in the Xinzhou Evil Punishment Department. Don't you remember me?"
A mortal official for thirty-two years?
He's not too old, there is someone in Beijing who is older than him, and he was beaten up by Xu Zhiqiong.
"Kong Shengwei" pointed to the upstairs and said: "Hurry up and go upstairs before all the merits are taken away."
The Fanchen official lowered his voice and said, "Is that Zhao Baijiao still alive?"
"Kong Shengwei" smiled and said, "What are you asking her for?"
"I have been thinking about her. I went to the tea house to find her several times. She just refused to stay with me. She would rather be whipped than stay with her. Today I think she still dares to disobey me? If she doesn't obey, I will cut her off. Her nose."
"Kong Shengwei" pointed to the stairs: "Zhao Baijiao is up there, go find her quickly!"
Official Fanchen was still not at ease, so he confirmed again: "She was subdued by Dr. Sun, right? She must have been tied up, right?"
"Kong Shengwei" nodded slightly: "It should be tied up, otherwise it will move around."
The old official smiled and said: "That's good, that's good!"
Lu Yanyou suddenly shouted: "The oil pan is boiling!"
The old official turned around and asked, "What are you doing with the oil pan?"
"Kong Shengwei" said: "Let's make fried cakes. Doctor Sun's fried cakes are so good. The secret method is to tie the cakes and then fry them."
The old official waved his hands and said: "How can I have the intention to eat that now!"
"Kong Shengwei" smiled and said: "Don't worry, wait until it's tied up, then eat slowly after it's tied up!"
After waiting for more than an hour, Xu Zhiqiong closed the door and came to the second floor of the teahouse.
After receiving the summons from Kong Shengwei's order to punish evil, a total of thirteen judges came to the Zhu Skull Teahouse, with cultivation levels ranging from the ninth to the sixth level.
These thirteen judges were all Kong Shengwei's capable subordinates. One of them, Suo Zhonglang, killed four of his comrades for Kong Shengwei. These four comrades had never committed any crime, but they were forcibly convicted by Long Xiulian.
And besides the name.
Zhao Baijiao shouted: "Two sisters died in the hands of this man, I can testify!"
Wang Yaner said: "I can also testify!"
Many judges testified that the crime was proven. Lu Yanyou sentenced him to Ling Chi and asked two judges to drag him down and slowly clean him up one by one.
A bookkeeper was tied up and brought up. Because this person was an eighth-level practitioner, he could not kill people. He could only find ways to provoke the sixth-level master to harm his fellow practitioners, fanning flames, spreading rumors, spreading lies, and other methods.
He had used up all of it, just to exchange the lives of his comrades for a few meritorious deeds.
Lu Yanyou checked the evidence of the crime, inserted a funnel into his mouth, and first scalded his tongue with boiling water.
Once the tongue is cooked, move the funnel deeper to cook his internal organs.
The most hateful thing is that the mortal official, who entered the imperial examination at the age of twenty-three, is now almost sixty years old and is still an ordinary official.
His trip to the capital was not to improve his cultivation, but simply to ruin his colleagues.
Zhao Baijiao said angrily: "How many sisters were forced to have no way out by him, how many beatings and how much suffering we sisters received because of him!"
The old official shouted: "Kong Changshi asked me to come! This is what Kong Changshi asked me to do!"
Lu Yanyou laughed and said: "Kong Changshi also said that he would let you eat fried cakes! Baijiao, the oil is hot. You go ahead and fry them piece by piece. Don't fry them until they get burnt."
The people brought here by Sun Qianli and Kong Shengwei were not all bad people. There was a famous middle school master called Xiao Baiming. He was really good.
After he came to the capital, he never harmed the lives of his colleagues.
This time he came to Zhu Skull Tea House not to pick up the sins of his fellow disciples, but to find someone.
His eyes were always fixed on Wang Anmeng.
Wang Anmeng lowered his head, never looking at Xiao Baiming.
Lu Yanyou asked: "Xiao Zhonglang, what is your crime? If you confess truthfully, I can give you a lighter sentence."
Xiao Baiming shouted: "I am not guilty, I have never harmed any of my colleagues!"
Zhao Baijiao put down the oil ladle, put the wailing old clerk aside, and shouted at Xiao Baiming: "You took over Wang Anmeng's body, but this doesn't count as harming a comrade?"
Lu Yanyou looked at Wang Anmeng. Wang Anmeng was eight feet and five feet tall. Wang Anmeng was the most fierce official in the Punishment Department!
Lu Yanyou slowly turned his head and looked at Xiao Baiming in front of him.
"You, took possession of his body?"
Xiao Baiming shouted: "It's all a matter of your own free will!"
Wang Anmeng lowered his head and said, "I was reluctant at first..."
Xiao Baiming looked at Wang An and said fiercely: "Where is your conscience? I came here just to find you!"
The tea house suddenly became quiet.
Wang Anmeng blushed and his eyes were red.
He wiped his tears and looked at Lu Yanyou.
Lu Yanyou lowered his head and slowly gathered his thoughts.
He waved his hand, indicating that Xiao Baiming should be let go first, and then he picked up the next prisoner, as if nothing had happened just now.
…
Xu Zhiqiong ignored these trivial matters. He locked Sun Qianli and Kong Shengwei in two rooms respectively, and then compared their confessions to see if the two men were lying.
He mainly wanted to confirm two things.
First, where is Long Xiulian now?
Secondly, how many good-rewarding officials are there under Long Xiulian?
The two answered the first question exactly the same. They did not know the whereabouts of Long Xiulian. When Long Xiulian wanted to contact them, he would ask them to go to the Tomb Zaifu.
The second question, the two people's answers are very different.
Kong Shengwei said that Long Xiulian had countless elite soldiers and generals, including three fourth-grade cultivators. Although he did not know their names, he had seen them appear beside Long Xiulian with his own eyes.
Sun Qianli said that there was only one fourth-grade person around Long Xiulian, and that was him.
"Most of Ryuzukazai's cronies are in Xinzhou. He entered Taoism in Xinzhou and served as the director of punishment for evildoers in Xinzhou. Later he became the official of rewarding good deeds in Hua, Xin and Zhuzhou. He managed the Taoist sects in the three states in an orderly manner.
Become the dictator of the grave."
"In order?"
Xu Zhiqiong heard Lu Yanyou say that more than ten years ago, the Huazhou Punishment Department was even more dilapidated than the mediocre Punishment Department.
Not to mention the Zhuzhou Punishment Bureau, Xu Zhiqiong almost burst into tears when he first saw the miserable state of the Punishment Bureau.
What is the Xinzhou Evil Punishment Department like? Xu Zhiqiong has never been there.
Perhaps all of Long Xiulian's political achievements were attributed to Xinzhou. Of course, the most important thing for him to become the dictator of the tomb was that he had reached the third level of cultivation.
Xu Zhiqiong felt that Sun Qianli's words were more reliable because what he said was reasonable and well-founded.
Moreover, Sun Qianli's condition was different from Kong Shengwei's. Kong Shengwei was only injured, while Sun Qianli's spirit had collapsed.
The fire was burning brightly in the house, but it was cold outside. Frost hung on the roof of the shed. The frost melted, and some water dropped and landed in Sun Qianli's mouth.
How did the water from the roof fall into his mouth?
Because Sun Qianli had a lot of mouths, one of his mouths grew in the middle of his head.
After being hooked by the thousand-pound turtle with eyes, Sun Qianli's body changed. His facial features, limbs, and hair all sprung up like bamboo shoots after a rain, growing uncontrollably.
But this phenomenon does not last long. As long as the iron hook is removed immediately, the body will stop growing after half a cup of tea. After another two cups of tea, the body will slowly recover.
In order to let Sun Qianli fully enjoy the fun of growth, Xu Zhiqiong simply hooked the thousand-pound turtle to Sun Qianli, so that Sun Qianli could continue to grow.
Through experiments, Xu Zhiqiong discovered that the iron hook stayed in the body for more than a meal, and some changes became irreversible.
Sun Qianli could no longer recover.
His cheekbones were itchy and he wanted to scratch them.
His body was tied tightly, but a small hand more than two inches long grew out of his right ear, which could just reach his cheek.
After scratching his face for a moment, a layer of skin peeled off, and Sun Qianli felt quite relieved.
After that layer of skin fell off, a hole was first broken, and the hole turned outwards and turned into lips, with several teeth growing out of it.
On the cheekbone, a mouth opened.
Even Xu Zhiqiong felt a little itchy looking at it.
He then asked: "Why did Long Xiulian harm his fellow practitioners? Why did he force them to go to the tea house? Why did he bully them again and again?"
When Sun Qianli spoke, several mouths spoke at the same time. Fortunately, only one mouth could speak: "Long Zhongzai said that the scum of the Evil Punishment Department in the capital should be eradicated."
"Are all the evil officials in the capital a scumbag?"
Sun Qianli nodded: "Long Zhongzai said that he has been trapped for many years because the judge in the capital framed him. This revenge must be avenged."
"Is his being trapped related to the Capital Punishment Department?"
Sun Qianli said: "I don't know the specific details. I only know that he disappeared for a few years. He said that all the judges in the capital would be sent to the tea house to suffer. The more miserable the better.
If anyone can't stand it anymore, remove him from the list and kill him."
Xu Zhiqiong's eyes trembled: "Are you going to let the judges in the capital be completely exterminated?"
Sun Qianli nodded: "That's probably what I meant."
Xu Zhiqiong thought about it and found that this process was indeed reasonable, but it was a bit troublesome.
"Why not just remove all the judges, that would be easier."
Sun Qianli said: "To remove a judge, you need to use the "Zhongzai Record Book". The "Zhongzai Record Book" cannot be used casually.
If the judge is willing to leave the Taoist sect, he will be removed from the Taoist sect, and there will be no loss.
If the judge is unwilling to leave the Taoist sect and forcibly removes him, Zhongzai will lose his cultivation and consume a lot of imagery power."
Xu Zhiqiong nodded.
He has to be subject to some restrictions after all! This chapter has been completed!
