Seeing that the door of the Yama Hall was about to close, Youshu hurriedly got in.

The scene in the hall was even more magnificent than he expected, and the dome was covered with a map of the nine heavens, one by one radiating light; Surrounded by a panoramic mural of the mountains and rivers of Kyushu, the murmuring of flowing waterfalls seems to take in a side of it, and above the high hall is a huge table, and the masked Yama King is sitting upright, opening a roster to take a closer look.

The entire hall emitted a faint light, and it was pitch black except for the purple lines on his mask, and only an extremely tall and majestic shadow could be seen. The twenty-four prison lords were also wearing masks, and sat quietly and waiting, judging from their stiff body language, they should be very afraid of this superior.

Youshu became more and more cautious, stepping on the black stone bricks carved with flowers on the other side, slowly moving behind a pillar, and poking out half of her head to check. On the day "Zhao Youshu" participated in the Qionglin banquet, he had seen Murong Lian, the lord of Dayong, and Murong Xuan, the prince of Li, and remembered their appearance vividly. Youshu looked through it in her mind, and it was determined that they were the two most powerful masters today, and the one in the high hall was obviously checking the identities of several people.

"The hall is Murong Lian, the lord of the Great Yong Kingdom, Murong Xuan, the prince of Li, and the imperial concubine Sun?" King Yama put down the roster and asked in a deep voice, because through a mask, his already cold and inorganic voice became more and more hollow and weird.

"You know it's me, why don't you let me go? Otherwise, I will copy your nine clans! Murong Lian shouted angrily.

"Presumptuous! Do you know what this place is? Shall you be allowed to raise your voice and cry out? The prison master, who was sitting first on the left, spoke coldly. Another prison master pointed to the dome, and saw a black plaque hanging on it, engraved with three large characters of wild grass - the Netherworld.

Only then did Murong Lian and the others realize that they had been caught in hell, and they couldn't help but cry and struggle. The king of Yama didn't pay any attention to it, but took out an account book, counted the three people's crimes one by one, and read three thousand six hundred and eighty-eight articles before stopping, and asked, "Can you confess?" ”

"I don't recognize it! I am the emperor, I am the true dragon emperor, Ziwei Emperor Xing, even if I have to be punished, I should be interrogated by the Jade Emperor himself, when will it be your turn to be a little Hades? Murong Lian asked with a hideous expression.

The other party seemed to think that these words were ridiculous, and let out a short and strange snort, and then with a move of his right hand, he sucked him closer, and said word by word, "But a pseudo-dragon with no scales has grown together, and he dares to call himself Ziwei Emperor Star in front of this king, and today this king will pick your dragon skin and break your keel, it depends on you." The fingertips of the words had been inserted into the root of Murong Lian's neck, pulling out his pale vertebrae~ out, and then peeling off the skin and throwing it aside.

Murong Xuan and Sun, who still maintained the prestige of the royal family, screamed in unison, and immediately kowtowed and confessed their guilt after waking up. Even if he confessed his sin, the man did not spare him, and ordered the first and second prison masters to take him down and gouge out his eyes and tongue, and to be punished with two hundred lashes.

The place of execution was in a corner of the hall, and its tragic scene was quite shocking. Fortunately, Youshu was not used to seeing it, and her mind was calm, she squatted on the ground and watched silently for a long time, and then counted the number of whippings. Before I knew it, a few hours had passed, and the three of them had finished their trials, and the king of Yama ordered the prison master to send people back to the yang world. Youshu immediately followed everyone out of the Netherworld Temple, and when she looked back, there was only darkness behind her......

When he opened his eyes the next day, he couldn't recover for a long time, and after washing, he walked slowly towards the front hall, analyzing the dream all the way. With the experience of "Zhao Youshu", he would never be naïve to think that everything in his dream was an illusion, that is to say, Murong Lian, Murong Xuan and Sun were indeed thrown into hell for trial last night. "Zhao Youshu" was beaten with a hundred boards, and his body would show corresponding injuries, what about Murong Lian and Murong Xuan, who were stripped of their skin and broken bones, and who were gouged out and cut their tongues, and who were whipped for 200 years?

Eight out of ten ~ nine won't live long, right? Thinking like this, he couldn't help but show a thoughtful look.

When I walked to the front hall, I saw a middle-aged man who was already sitting at the dining table, a pair of chopsticks turning around in the dishes, which was very rude. Youshu glanced at it and recognized the person's identity.

This person's name is Wang Fu, his ancestral home is Shaoxing, he is very insidious and vicious, and he is countless times more greedy than "Zhao Youshu". The two often clashed due to the uneven distribution of spoils, but Wang Funai was a candidate recommended by "Zhao Youshu" directly from Shangfeng, and he was connected with his in-laws, so he couldn't be offended, so he had to endure it. After a long time, Wang Fu felt that the county master was young and easy to bully, and he kicked his nose more and more, regardless of dignity and inferiority.

"Yo, the county master, you're here. How are you respectful? Wang Fu didn't get up and salute, only glanced at Youshu~, his eyes were full of malice. These days, the county master is not there, and he is responsible for all the big and small things, which can be said to be majestic. Now that the county magistrate has recovered from his injuries and taken away his authority, he is naturally very unhappy.

Youshu stared at the messy table with cups and plates, her expression very gloomy. If I remember correctly, although Wang Fu lives in the county government, he has to take care of his own food. In other words, what he is eating now should belong to "Zhao Youshu", and he is Zhao Youshu.

After two lives, the problem of protecting food has not changed, but it has also restrained a lot. He twisted his slightly itchy fingertips, pressed the green tendons on his forehead, and then sat down at the table and ate with a bowl.

Wang Fu put the only remaining chicken leg into his bowl, and said in a low voice, "County Master, have you prepared the silver taels that Lord Wang asked you to pay tribute?" Prepare the small ones and send them to the state capital in person. ”

Youshu thought about it for a while, and already understood what he was talking about. A few days later is the birthday of Murong Xuan, Prince Li, although he has not been officially canonized as the crown prince, but because of his mother's favor, he has already lived in the East Palace, and he is the next lord of the country. He has a lot of supporters in the court, and it just so happens that "Zhao Youshu" and his upper peak are among them. In order to make a name in front of Prince Li, they naturally racked their brains to loot treasures and hand them over. But where are the treasures of the people, and they are not all in the hands of the imperial merchants?

A few days ago, Zhao Youshu's upper peak took a fancy to a coral tree, asking for 300,000 taels of silver, and if he couldn't take it out, he distributed the silver to the following counties, saying that whoever has more filial piety will be promoted in the coming year. A small person like Zhao Youshu can't even touch the side of Prince Li, and the only way to get promoted is to climb the upper peak, and he naturally attaches great importance to hearing this.

He has greeted the wealthy families in Suichang County and asked them to raise money. These people were exploited by the county magistrate, so they naturally went to exploit the tenant farmers under their hands, as the so-called layer by layer, layer by layer, layer by layer, until the common people were cut into walking corpses before they were willing to stop.

Zhao Youshu had raised 180,000 taels of silver earlier, but he didn't let Wang Fu know that he was also preventing Wang Fu from scraping oil from it. If this skin hadn't changed its soul, maybe the money would have been handed over a long time ago, but now, Youshu has her own plans. He said bluntly, "I have raised 180,000 taels of silver, but I have other uses for this money, you let Lord Wang figure it out by himself." ”

Wang Fu almost couldn't believe his ears, and after throwing away his chopsticks, he asked, "What did you just say?" ”

"I have the silver, but I don't have it." Youshu repeats word by word.

Wang Fu's face was hideous at first, then his expression eased, and he persuaded in a soft voice, "County master, are you having a temper with your subordinates?" But you can't joke about your career! Seven or eight magistrates under Lord Wang have already gone to raise money, and whoever moves quickly will have a number in his heart, and he may be able to be transferred to the state capital in the coming year. What do you want to do with such a great opportunity? Is it possible to be a seven-grade sesame official for a lifetime in this place where birds don't pull ~? ”

Youshu's ideal is to be a very human minister, so that he can get in touch with higher-level magnates. Maybe one of these people has a master? But he would never tell his thoughts to an insignificant person, so he said lightly, "It's not your turn to ask what I want to do." I'm happy to do it myself. ”

"Okay, okay, wouldn't you? I'll go to the state capital to explain this matter to Lord Wang, and see how he will deal with it!" Wang Fu suddenly got up and lifted the table, and then threw his sleeves away, not looking at a fledgling yellow-haired boy like Youshu with no background at all. It's really great to be a high school champion at the age of eighteen, but if you don't know how to be a person, you will only have the role of being a stepping stone for others for the rest of your life.

Youshu stared at the food that had been spilled on the ground, and his facial features gradually distorted and hideous, if Wang Fu looked back at this time, he might not have insisted on going to death.

"From Suichang to the state capital, it takes seven days by car and seventeen or eighteen days by foot. You break the wheel when his car goes to a place where there is no place in front of the village and no store, and when he wants to go to the next town and wants to rent a car, you break it again, and you have to delay for some time. While ordering someone to clean up the mess on the ground, he used his mental power to order a female ghost who had just been put away.

The female ghost used to be the cook of the county government, her life was not good, her husband abandoned her for a fan ~ head, and her children refused to recognize each other, although there was no obsession but no cemetery to settle down, and she became a lonely ghost who could not be reincarnated. Youshu promised to overdo it for her, which was in exchange for her help.

The female ghost agreed again and again, and chased Wang Fu away, and Youshu instructed her subordinates not to prepare such a sumptuous breakfast, a bowl of porridge, and a few steamed buns. What he eats, wears, and uses now is all the hard-earned money of the people, and if he wastes it extravagantly, he will really be punished by heaven. Not only must he be thrifty himself, but those below must also do the same.

While thinking about how to reset the constitution of the county government, he went to the court to prepare to deal with government affairs. In the main hall, except for a small servant who sprinkled and cleaned, he didn't see half a figure, a catcher, a servant, or a servant, and he didn't know where he had gone.

"What about people?" He looked at the little guy, who couldn't tell clearly.

At this moment, a starving ghost that had already been used by him came out of the ground and said, "My lord, those people are all Wang Fu's team, and when he left, he told them not to listen to you, so they all made excuses to leave. If Wang Fu doesn't turn around for a day, they won't be on duty for a day, so you can be a bare-bones county commander. ”

This starving ghost was a beggar before his death, and he had never eaten a full meal for a day, and as soon as Shu came, he gave him a Yin Yang Vitality Talisman, although it would soon □□ after absorbing it, but it was good for him to get a moment of comfort. Therefore, he followed Youshu with all his heart, and he couldn't get rid of it. The beggar's specialty is naturally to inquire about the news, not to mention a small county office, even if it is a trivial matter in the state capital, he knows it clearly.

As the saying goes, "no curtain and no government", without the assistance of the master, most county orders do not know how to deal with government affairs. Wang Fuman thought that he could give the county magistrate a dismissal by calling his team away, but he had the wrong idea. Now this Zhao Youshu is not the original Zhao Youshu, and the way his brain works is different from ordinary people.

Instead of going from house to house, he wrote down the names of these people and stopped working. Fortunately, "Zhao Youshu" attaches great importance to money, and the key to the silver vault has been pinched in his own hands, and several bookkeepers are also his cronies, so he can naturally impose economic sanctions.

"I don't have manpower, so I pay for it myself. The one who paid for it was more useful than the servant who ate the dry meal. Where is the coolie in Suichang County with the most coolies? "Youshu stepped out of the county government and asked as she walked." Zhao Youshu "In addition to the clear division of money, everything else is extremely dependent on Wang Fu, most of the servants in the family are invited by Wang Fu, and they don't know who their real master is, so they are very unreliable."

The Hungry Man hunched his shoulders and followed, "Turn left at the second street ahead, go straight to the fourth street and turn left again, and you will cross an alley to the wharf, where there are many coolies waiting for passing merchant ships to unload. ”

"Let's go, then." Youshu walked slowly, and when he arrived at the dock, he saw many strong, shirtless coolies. He looked around twice and picked out twenty men with fierce faces but clear eyes. Three taels of silver in a month, only sign a living deed and not a dead deed, settle wages on time, including food and housing, and public titles, this job is stupid~ The son will not accept it.

The twenty people quickly signed the contract, each received a set of official clothes to put on, and then followed behind Youshu with a stick. They also have justice and justice in their hearts, but who can uphold justice and justice when they can't eat enough? At most, the county magistrate let him start when he beat someone.

Thinking like this, the group walked through the streets and alleys and came to Lijia Village. The villagers had long been accustomed to the county lord's ostentatious behavior of passing through the city, and immediately avoided it, their eyes full of fear and hatred. Youshu followed her memory to find the Li family, but saw that the two low houses that were once dilapidated have now become a three-entry blue brick compound, with many flowers and trees planted in the yard, and they are swaying out of the wall.

The little guy guarding the door saw that the person who came was the county master, and hurriedly bowed down to greet him. Li Ergou went out to gamble early in the morning, and before he turned around, Li Ni did not care about the defense of men and women, and ran out with her skirt when she got the letter, and she didn't feel ashamed when she bumped into the big man in the room, and her waist ~ limbs twisted more happily.

Seeing her fiancé sitting in the main seat, with white lips and white skin, smooth skin and tender skin, and round eyes, who were more pretty than herself~ countless times more beautiful, a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes, and she asked, "Why didn't you come here without saying hello?" Did you buy me that golden hairpin when I fell in love with it a few days ago? ”

Youshu looked at her fixedly, and an evil fire suddenly burst out in her heart. It is clear that this woman was accused of evil in the underworld, why did she have nothing to do, and she had to suffer from that flesh and skin? That's it, the underworld doesn't punish her, and it's the same if I do it myself!

Thinking of this, he felt better, took out a piece of osmanthus cake from his arms, and rubbed it down little by little with his front teeth. Seeing his small~ mouth moving slightly, and his cheeks bulging lightly, Li Ni was also angry. Why can't a big man look like a big man? It's just a matter of eating, and it's necessary to make this, and so ......

Li Ni never admits that she practices this kind of eating every day in private, just to look more cute and cute. She rubbed her chest, and waited for the fire in her heart to subside slightly, "What about you, did you buy the golden hairpin?" ”

Youshu picked up the teacup and sipped slowly, ignoring her. Li Ni was about to get angry, so Li Ergou hurriedly ran in, hugged his fists and said, "Sister~husband, I've kept you waiting!" I ordered the kitchen to prepare the meal, and the rich man of the next village sent two bear paws, just for us to eat, come on......"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Youshu, "Don't bother, I have official business today." I heard that someone recently wanted to file a lawsuit against you? Which ones are there, report their names. ”

Li Ergou was overjoyed, and he was still a sister~ The husband wanted to support himself, and he was busy reporting people one by one. Youshu quickly wrote it down on a piece of paper, and when she said goodbye to Li Ergou, she instructed, "I will take them to the county office today, and you will come to confront them in front of them tomorrow morning." ”

Li Ergou agreed again and again, and after closing the door, he showed a very proud expression. Sister~ husband came to arrest people in person, how much face did this give him? If you say it, see who dares to do it with him!

Youshu went door-to-door according to the list, and when these people saw that it was him, they immediately knelt down and kowtowed to admit their mistakes, and the appearance of sobbing was very miserable. Youshu asked them to write a petition, but they refused, and asked them to beat the drum of injustice, but they didn't do it, so they had to arrest all the people and tie them back with a rope.

"Look, Zhao Gouguan is arresting people again!"

"This time the arrests are all people who offended his brother-in-law, what a fucking brute!"

"Phew, if you die, you should go to eighteen layers of hell!"

The people waited for him to pass and spat on the ground.

You Shu has ears and eyes, but she can only pretend to be deaf and dumb, take people to the county office, and put them in small cubicles, and go in one by one to ask. These people tried their best to help Li Ergou say good things, and bluntly said that it was all their own fault, and it had nothing to do with Li Ye, and they would definitely kowtow and make amends after they went back.

Youshu couldn't, so she had to drink to shut them up, and pointed at each other with the tip of her pen, saying, "What is the reason for this?" ”

This was obviously said to the starving ghost, and he immediately stepped forward and whispered, "This is called Li Wang, because he built his own field too high, Li Ergou's cow walked over and broke his leg, and Li Ergou also broke his leg and threw it in the mountain. If he hadn't had a good dog at home and took someone to look for it in the middle of the night, he might have been taken away by a tiger wolf. ”

You Shu worked hard to write a book, and soon finished writing a book of algae flying, reasonable and well-founded, and asked Li Wang to press his handprint. These people are all farmers, they have never read a book, and they can understand what he is writing, thinking that he is making up nonsense and framing him, so he cries and howls and refuses to raise his hand no matter what.

Youshu couldn't, so she had to let the newly hired subordinates catch the person~ and forcibly pressed a thumb print. There was anger in the eyes of his subordinates, but he was helpless, now that the world is so chaotic, it is still difficult for him to live, where can he take care of others?

Every time he walked into a room, he would write a statement to himself, which made the whole county ghost cry wolf and make a lot of noise. With great difficulty, he lay down and slept peacefully, but the low sobs in the cubicle rang all night. On the second day, Li Ergou really came to the county office early to fight the lawsuit, and called his fox friends and dog friends to join in the fun. There are also conscientious ~ people who rushed to hear the news, carrying a vegetable basket in their hands, containing stones, eggs and other things, and planned to run away immediately after smashing the dog official.

Youshu didn't talk nonsense, as soon as he sat down, he slapped the startled wood and asked his subordinates to bring the plaintiff up. The crowd cried all night, their hair was disheveled, their eyes were red and swollen, and they looked very wolf-like. The people let out angry boos, but Youshu looked calm, picked up a copy of the form and began to read, just read two sentences from the hall shouted, "Wronged! This statement was not written by us at all, it was a handprint fabricated by the county magistrate and then forced us to press! If God has eyes, he will send a divine thunderbolt and slash all these wicked people to death! ”

"God open your eyes, don't let good people be wronged! Please, God! ”

In desperation, the only thing these people can turn to is God. The onlookers felt the same but could not do anything, so they had to hang their heads and wipe their tears, and their clenched teeth gurgle, as if they wanted to swallow the life sitting on top of it. On the other hand, Li Ergou crossed his waist and leaned up, triumphant, and Li Ni also sat in the hall to cover her mouth and smile.

Youshu ignored anyone, picked up the startling wood and patted it, and continued to read it when the volume below decreased slightly, reading and reading, the crying person slowly stopped, listened attentively, but Li Ergou and Li Ni showed a surprised expression.

"Li Wang, is everything in this pleadings true?" Shu asked lightly.

Li Wang didn't dare to agree, he looked at the hall for a while, and looked at his relatives hidden in the crowd for a while, and his brows were almost knotted.

Youshu didn't need him to answer, and slapped the exclamation wood and asserted, "Now that it has been verified, everything Li Wang confessed is true, and this official convicted Li Ergou of murder and beheaded him after the autumn." The words fell and picked up a copy of the statement and began to read, which was also completely in line with the facts, and also judged Li Ergou guilty without waiting for the bitter lord to nod.

Fifteen or sixteen people were tried in a row, but it took only three quarters of an hour, and Li Ergou was sentenced to behead under the combined punishment of several crimes. The officials standing on both sides pounced on him and tied him up firmly, and put a big knife around his neck, and when the county magistrate handed the public trial documents to the criminal department and got the approval, he could be dragged to the entrance of the vegetable market for execution.

Li Ergou almost went crazy, struggling and shouting at his sister~husband. In order to hide the fear and panic in her heart, Li Ni stood up and pointed at Youshu's nose and scolded, saying that if he didn't let go of his brother again, the marriage would be ended immediately.

Unexpectedly, Youshu had already prepared, took out a marriage certificate from his arms, tore it to pieces on the spot, and said slowly, "This official has this intention." Then, the next step is to try Li Ni's crime of persecuting people's lives, where is the sufferer, stand up yourself. As soon as he waved his hand, two officials pressed Li Ni to her knees in the hall, and the loud sound of her knees hitting the ground made her teeth sore.

At this time, the people realized that the county magistrate was really here, and he really planned to kill his relatives and eliminate harm for the people. Who will put his daughter-in-law on his knees on the spot and open a public trial? Do you want to be embarrassed? Who would tie up his brother-in-law with a knife and scare him out of two bubbles of urine? You can't do it at all!

Several people kneeling under the hall gritted their teeth and immediately stood up.
