Shi Cheng is Dian Yu, and Dian Yu is a seventh-grade underworld cultivator and a seventh-grade official in the Hall of Yama.
Shi Cheng was in charge of a side hall in the Yama Hall and had eight eighth-grade jailers and sixty-four ninth-grade jailers under his command.
He called all his subordinates together and began to review the cases one by one.
Xu Zhiqiong sat aside, eating wine and gnawing roast chicken, waiting to get the ticket.
Among the four girls in Yuling Pavilion, one rubbed Xu Zhiqiong’s shoulders, one beat Xu Zhiqiong’s legs, one sang music to Xu Zhiqiong, and one played a musical instrument for Xu Zhiqiong.
This girl can play the instrument very well.
Xu Zhiqiong sighed secretly, thanking Xia Hu for not coming.
After an hour, the review of the verdict was completed, and I had to admire Xia Hu's professional ability. According to her verdict, Xu Zhiqiong deserved a total of 865 and a half merit credits.
After Shi Cheng reviewed it, he calculated 870 merit points for Xu Zhiqiong, and the deviation was only four and a half, which was quite accurate.
In fact, Xia Hu's calculation was not wrong at all. These four and a half pills were found by Shi Cheng for Xu Zhiqiong. Such a customer must be taken care of.
Shi Cheng placed a thick stack of vouchers on the desk: "Judge Ma, please keep the fifty-two vouchers! You have taken care of them!"
Xu Zhiqiong stood up and said: "Shi Dianjiu, today is a good day, we two brothers need to have a drink!"
"One cup is not enough! No matter what, I need three cups!" Shi Cheng picked up the wine glass and said, "Brothers, pick up the wine glasses! Congratulations to the judge!"
Everyone said in unison: "Judge Horse!"
This is respect from the heart, because Judge Ma has brought tangible benefits.
After finishing the drink, Xu Zhiqiong said goodbye. Shi Cheng still had to be busy here.
He first tore open the sutures on everyone's mouths. As soon as Wen Zhidao opened his mouth, he cursed: "How dare you humiliate me like this, you wretched Xuanguo people?"
Shi Cheng was stunned: "Your accent doesn't sound like a propaganda person like mine?"
The fourth mantis shouted: "We are the Great Yu people, you are the undercover agent of the Xuan Kingdom, you can't touch us!"
"So what's going on? You guys have been wronged, you've been wronged," Shi Cheng apologized repeatedly, "Why don't you just stay with me for now, and I'll inform you of your regrets later."
Prison, if he is willing to kowtow to me a few times, I can let him see you.
But we agreed in advance that we can only meet once, and since you were arrested in Daxuan, you guys will still have to serve your sentence here!"
Hearing this, the four fourth-grade men scolded fiercely: "Crazy man! You dare to offend my great Yu Shenwei, but you don't know how to die?"
The four of them were talking and running, and Shi Cheng drew a circle, nine levels of skills, and drew the ground as a prison, trapping the four of them firmly.
In the underworld, do not take action against the underworld. This is common sense that must be possessed by both living and dead people.
Shi Cheng turned around and ordered his men: "I told you not to be idle. Everyone is ready. Don't neglect me! Heat up the oil pan and burn the copper pillars."
When burning a copper pillar, it needs to be burned in a cannon.
One of the executioners said: "Prison, the sentence didn't say there was any cannon fire."
"You're confused!" Shi Cheng scolded angrily, "This is Dayu's guest. We have to serve him well. He deserves the frying pan, and I'll give it to him as well!"
…
Xu Zhiqiong left Fengdu City, and Xia Hu was waiting anxiously outside. The two of them hurried back to the Punishment Department and went straight to the Hall of Appreciation of Honors.
Now is not the time for joking in the Judge's Pavilion. Xia Hu's tone is very serious: "After redeeming the merits, hurry up and leave. Don't stay for a moment longer. Eight hundred and seventy merits, I don't know how many people are thinking about it."
Xu Zhiqiong was also very nervous. He picked up the vouchers and placed them one by one on the stone platform. Xia Hu prepared two pockets in advance.
With the ticket, Xia Hu had five more points of merit in his pocket.
After a while, the fifty-two chapters were redeemed with their votes. Xu Zhiqiong received 870 merit points and Xia Hu received 260 merit points.
"Sir, we are destined to have this fate, and we will have to rely on you to take care of our future business!"
At the fork in the road, Xia Hu happily wanted to go back to the Judge's Pavilion, when a man riding a white horse blocked their way.
It was really unlucky that at such a critical moment, they met Feng Jing'an, Shaoqing of the Evil Punishment Department.
Xu Zhiqiong cursed in his heart: This bitch!
Xia Hu couldn't help but tremble. Why did Feng Shaoqing suddenly appear?
In the thick fog, Xia Hu saw two graceful figures.
It's the two new female promoters.
It was these two coquettish bitches who complained to Feng Shaoqing!
Feng Jing'an pointed the riding whip at the two of them and said, "What are you carrying?"
Xu Zhiqiong's heart tightened, but a smile appeared on his face: "Feng Shaoqing, I carried some betrothal gifts to Official Xia."
"bride price?"
"Ever since we got acquainted, we have been sincerely attracted to each other. We have done everything we need to do, and it's almost time to get married."
"Getting married?" Feng Jing'an looked at Xia Hu, "What kind of betrothal gifts are they?"
Xia Hu laughed repeatedly: "Back to Shaoqing, it's not anything valuable, just a little grain and eggs. Ma Shangfeng is a poor man, and I won't pick on him."
"How brave!" Feng Jing'an shouted, "How dare you speak glibly in front of me? You have meritorious deeds on your back, right?"
Xia Hu didn't dare to say anything. Xu Zhiqiong laughed repeatedly and said: "Where can you get so many achievements? It's just a little food."
"Ma Shangfeng, you really don't know how to live or die. You are about to be promoted to the eighth level, but you dare to hide so many meritorious deeds. Open your pocket and show me. If the number of meritorious deeds exceeds one hundred, I will immediately abolish your cultivation."
Upon hearing this, Xia Hu was in despair. Feng Shaoqing said that there was no room for negotiation when it came to useless people's cultivation.
Xu Zhiqiong was still calm, thinking about countermeasures in his mind.
Open it and show it to him?
Definitely not open it.
Opening it is tantamount to admitting guilt.
He touched the firewood stick behind him.
Xu Zhiqiong lowered his head and said: "Feng Shaoqing, there is really just a little food here, so please don't make things difficult for us."
Xia Hu said in a trembling voice: "Feng Shaoqing, we are just a couple of poor people. It would be embarrassing to show this little betrothal gift. Please be so noble as to spare us."
"You dare to quibble! Xia Hu, you are getting more and more presumptuous!" As soon as the words fell, Feng Jing'an's horse whip came over.
Gu Yan
The fifth-grade judge struck really quickly. Xu Zhiqiong only heard the sound of the wind, and the riding whip had already hit Xia Hu.
This blow was so strong that Xia Hu's clothes were pulled away and a gash was ripped open on her shoulder. Xia Hu didn't even dare to say a word.
Feng Jing'an returned the whip and struck Xu Zhiqiong in the face. Xu Zhiqiong took out a firewood stick, jumped in the air, and hit Feng Jing'an on the head.
Now that he has reached this point, Xu Zhiqiong has no scruples. If he can hit him, it will be considered a profit.
The question is whether it can be hit this time.
Feng Jing'an is at the fifth level of cultivation, and Xu Zhiqiong is at the ninth level. The gap between the two is wider than the Milky Way.
The riding whip was still as fast as the wind, but what I didn't expect was that Xu Zhiqiong's firewood stick was as fast as lightning.
The riding whip was still in the air, and Xu Zhiqiong's firewood stick had already hit Feng Jing'an on the head.
Snap! A crisp sound!
Feng Jing'an's crown was knocked off, and blood flowed down the mask.
Xia Hu was stunned, completely unable to understand the scene in front of her.
Two female promoters in the distance screamed in fright.
Is Ma Shangfeng crazy? Dare he hit Feng Shaoqing?
How could he, a ninth-grade mortal official, defeat Feng Shaoqing?
Feng Jing'an roared: "Ma Shangfeng, I want your life!"
He drew the sword from his waist, and while he was drawing the sword, Xu Zhiqiong jumped up and struck again with the stick.
Let’s start again. Xu Zhiqiong’s firewood stick has not been broken yet. The master said at the beginning that the firewood stick should be broken.
Feng Shaoqing raised his sword, and Xu Zhiqiong struck again with the stick, still hitting the head.
Feng Shaoqing slashed down with his long sword. Xu Zhiqiong dodged the sword, picked up the firewood stick, and then hit the head.
Xu Zhiqiong, who was holding the firewood stick, was much faster than Feng Shaoqing. Feng Shaoqing raised his sword again, and Xu Zhiqiong continued to hit the head with seven or eight sticks. The firewood stick finally broke.
Now how to do?
Xu Zhiqiong was thinking about countermeasures while holding half a stick of firewood, when Feng Shaoqing fell off his horse.
He was knocked unconscious.
Two lines of tears slipped from the mask.
He was beaten to tears.
Since joining the Evil Punishment Department, Feng Shaoqing has never suffered such injustice.
"Ma Shangfeng, if I don't kill you, I will never be a human being!" Feng Jing'an shouted at the top of his lungs and rushed forward.
Xu Zhiqiong picked up half of the firewood stick and was about to hit it again, when suddenly a silver light flashed out of the firewood stick.
The silver light shone on Feng Jing'an and turned into a rope, binding Feng Jing'an so that he could not move.
Feng Jing'an struggled for a moment, the rope kept tightening, and Feng Jing'an's breath was cut off.
It wasn't until the silver light returned to the firewood stick that Feng Jing'an finally took a breath.
He raised his sword, looked at Xu Zhiqiong, thought for a moment, and then put the sword down.
He was arrogant, but not stupid. Seeing this firewood stick, he knew that there was a very powerful character behind Xu Zhiqiong.
"You, wait for me!" Feng Jing'an turned and left, his voice a little vague, as if mixed with two sobs.
The two charming promoters ran away and disappeared in the thick fog in the blink of an eye.
Xia Hu punched Xu Zhiqiong hard: "Why are you crazy? How dare you take action against Shaoqing?"
Xu Zhiqiong touched the scar on Xia Hu's shoulder and whispered: "Who told him to hit you?"
Xia Hu shivered.
Not only was my body trembling, my heart was also trembling.
He is for me...
Xu Zhiqiong said naively: "Both the official and the lady have called me, even if it is a business, I will not tolerate you being bullied."
Xia Hu shivered again.
Are these words... sincere?
Seeing Xia Hu in a daze, Xu Zhiqiong took the opportunity to get an advantage and patted the fat peach: "Let's go back to the Judge's Pavilion to get some merit. If he dares to come to you, come to me and I will beat him."
Just accept it!"
After saying that, Xu Zhiqiong took his merits and left the Evil Punishment Department.
Looking at Xu Zhiqiong's back, Xia Hu kept trembling.
…
When he returned home, the Taoist priest was still waiting in the yard. Xu Zhiqiong put down his bag and waited for the Taoist priest to leave.
The Taoist sighed: "I know you want to improve your cultivation, so I won't pursue the matter this time. It's my fault. There are some things that I didn't explain clearly to you. This eighth grade, this, this, how can this happen again?
There’s a lot more!”
I originally thought that Xu Zhiqiong had hidden more than 300 meritorious deeds, but when he opened his pocket, he found more than 800 golden beans inside.
"Okay, you've almost reached the seventh rank! Enemy, do you know what this crime is?"
Xu Zhiqiong straightened his waist and said: "Disciple thinks that this is not a sin! Disciple punishes evil and eliminates evil, and I dare to say that I have a clear conscience!"
Xu Zhiqiong told the story of the previous battle with Liang Yuming. Upon hearing this, the Taoist priest was relieved.
"You just entered the Taoist sect, you are not afraid of the powerful, you dare to fight to the death for the justice of heaven, my teacher is not wrong about you! You can keep these meritorious deeds, I will not punish you, I will directly take you to the seventh rank today, but I will only give you the seventh rank.
Your level of cultivation and your seventh level physique will not give you the skills of your seventh level."
Only give basic attributes and no skills?
What's the point?
This is not a complete promotion!
The Taoist priest gave an explanation: "Zhiqiong, do you know why our Taoist master has imposed a restriction on killing in the eighth grade? It's because there are some utilitarian people in our Taoist sect who only admit their karma without asking about right and wrong, and kill without restraint.
, so that you go astray and fall into the wrong path,
Cultivation of the eighth level is not easy, it is just to hone your state of mind. If you want to obtain the skills of the seventh level, you must promise me one thing. You must obtain three meritorious deeds as the eighth level guide master."
