Chapter 42: How God's Corruption Is Refined

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency?"

"Huh?" Jing Chu came back to his soul and saw that it was Ning Caichen wearing a black gauze hat and a red judge's uniform. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

Since the Divine Court's Talent Ceremony, Ning Caichen has been following him and has become the current civil judge. He was whispering to himself on his lower left.

Jing Chu found himself ascending to the hall in the Chenghuang Yamen at the moment, and Ning Caichen, the civil judge on both sides of the public case, was sitting on the left, and Yan Chixia, the military judge who was supposed to be standing on the right, went back to the Zhenwu Emperor to cultivate, and had not returned for half a year. Going down, they were left and right day wandering gods, night wandering gods, and eight soap gods, lined up in two columns, with solemn expressions, and they all secretly looked at themselves at this time.

There was a scholar standing under the public court, untidy, like Ning Caichen when he climbed Wanren Mountain; He looks square, but his eyes stare at him like they have fire.

Seeing that the situation was wrong, Jing Chu realized that he had just been distracted in the public court, and hurriedly coughed twice to cover up the past.

Jing Chu calmly and dignified his official authority, and shouted to the court: "Who is in the hall and what is the situation, tell the god carefully." ”

After Jing Chu asked, he found that it was wrong again. When the man heard his question, he immediately showed a sad and angry face, and the anger in his eyes continued unabated.

The man gritted his teeth and said, "Grass people Xi Fangping has seen Lord Chenghuang. The grass people sued the county god of Dong'an County for corrupting the law, reversing black and white, abusing people's lives, and forcibly marrying people's daughters. ”

"Do you have a certificate?" After Jing Chu asked this sentence, he found that something was wrong, and the ghost in the hall even took Ning Caichen to look at him with a strange feeling, as if he was saying: "Lord Chenghuang, you really know how to play!" ”

Xi Fangping's hands trembled, obviously his heart was not calm, but he still said word by word: "Yes!" The city god of Dong'an County forcibly detained my father's soul, and my father was detained in the unjust prison of Dong'an at this time; And he took my sister captive, and confined him day and night in his office, which hid filth and filth. A few days ago, I saw that my wife was beautiful and wanted to rob her, but fortunately, my wife has Taoist skills so that she will not let such murderers and villains take advantage of it. ”

When Jing Chu heard this, the wood in his hand shook the sky, and said angrily: "Kill!" Scholar, you sit in peace, wait for me to repair the book and go straight to the Dongyue Divine Court, and if you join him, he will definitely be sent to the eighteenth layer of hell. ”

Jing Chu spoke righteously and heartily, but above the public court, there was no voice, not even the voice of Ying He. Jing Chu found himself embarrassed again.

After a few breaths, Ning Caichen really couldn't stand the strange atmosphere, and waved his hand at the ghosts and said, "Retire from the court, and try again tomorrow." ”

As if he had been granted amnesty, Xi Fangping, who was struggling and shouting, quickly left the court.

Only Jing Chu and Ning Caichen were left in the public court. Jing Chu took off his official hat, threw it on the public case casually, and said to Ning Caichen, who wanted to stop talking: "Tell me, what happened just now?" ”

Ning Caichen couldn't cry or laugh: "My lord, do you really don't know or don't know?" ”

Jing Chu said seriously: "I really don't know." ”

Ning Caichen looked strange, pulled up Jing Chu's sleeves and walked to the back hall, and said, "You come with me." ”

Ning Caichen dragged Jing Chu along the corridor, through the two-moon gate, and came to a side room. Ning Caichen pointed to the charm on the latch of the door of the wing room and said, "You open it and take a look." ”

Jing Chu saw that the spell was very familiar, and he didn't ask how to solve it, as if he had practiced it many times, he naturally stepped forward and tore it off easily.

Ning Caichen said again: "Push the door and go in." ”

Jing Chu pushed open the door as he said, raised his feet and stepped in. The room was in shambles, tables and chairs were overturned, and pearls were scattered on the floor. When I looked left and right, I saw a bed on the right, and most of the beaded tent on it was broken, thinking that this was where the pearl was supposed to be.

"Huh," Jing Chu found that there was a person lying on the bed. If you look closely, it is a woman with disheveled hair and unclothed clothes. Although it was only a cursory glance and lying on the bed, the graceful posture exposed in the air and the radiant skin reminded Jing Chu that this was a stunning beauty all the time. For a while, Jing Chu was a little jealous of those torn clothes.

Jing Chu stepped forward and combed the sleeping woman's hair aside, revealing her gorgeous and peerless face. What is not beautiful is that such a pretty face is covered with tears, and even in a coma, there is sadness that cannot be erased.

Jing Chu's hand happened to be on her back at this time, touching her bare skin. An eager voice began to shout in Jing Chu's heart: "Take a look, just take a look." A primordial flame ignited in Jing Chu's body at once, constantly urging him to flip the woman over and take a good look at her.

Just as Jing Chu was about to make further moves, an inopportune cough sound came from outside the door.

Jing Chu mustered up the last of his courage and ran out, slamming the door shut, and then slumped on the edge of the door as if he had exhausted his strength.

"Remembered?" Ning Caichen asked for a long time.

Fragmentary memories, little by little, converged and weaved into the beginning and end of the event.

Jing Chu has been the county god of Dong'an County for more than three years, and with the help of Yan Chixia and Ning Caichen, although he has no outstanding political achievements, he has also made some mistakes.

But that changed just half a month ago. At that time, a big family surnamed Yang died in Dong'an County, because he was rich and unkind on weekdays, and was detained by the ghost to die in the city for trial after his death. Unexpectedly, not only did he not repent, but he openly talked to Jing Chu, the city god, in the court. said that as long as the neighbor was also arrested and tortured with him, he was willing to give half of his assets in Dong'an County to Jing Chu. If Jing Chu became a god after death, these would definitely be laughed off, and he would be punished for decades. But Jing Chu is not, he is a god in the flesh, and he still has a place to live in Dong'an County. It's just a little broken, only a few adobe houses.

So Jing Chu responded to the ghost confusion for a while. In order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, he also personally went to the door to do the ghostly work, and detained Xi's father, who had not yet completed his life, to the city of death in vain and threw him in the unjust prison. The woman in the room was seen when she went to Xi Fangping's house, and she was shocked at the time, and she thought that she would arrest the woman back to the Chenghuang Yamen without doing anything. And he did evil deeds that night.

The scene in the room just now is not known to be more than a dozen times in the past half a month.

At this time, the more Jing Chu thought about it, the more frightened he became, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

He asked nervously, "Didn't that Xi Fang Ping go to the county god to sue me?" Why did you come back today? ”

Ning Caichen said angrily: "The county god of Langya County is Liulang. You saved Liulang several times back then, how could Liulang accept Xi Fangping's petition. Isn't this just sending a ghost to send him back to deal with you? ”

Jing Chu patted his chest and said, "It's dangerous, it's dangerous." Although he said this, somehow a trace of unreality rose in his heart.

When he was puzzled, he heard Ning Caichen smile bitterly: "It's not over yet." Judge Yan passed on the flying sword yesterday, saying that Emperor Zhenwu inspected the twelve states and counties in the world and assessed the city god, and he was going to Dong'an in these two days, so he asked you to prepare for your life. ”

Frightened by this, Jing Chu's heart was like ashes. The strange feeling just now was completely replaced by another thoughtβ€”this is over, the black gauze hat must be lost.
