Although the judge was reporting to the king of Yama, he didn't speak loudly, but Cao Shixun heard it very clearly, he quickly knelt down in front of the seat, and said to the judge: "My lord said that I still have twenty years of life, and I have good fortune to enjoy!" Is this true? ”

"Naturally, take it seriously!" The judge said, "Because of your merits in the counterinsurgency battle, you could have been knighted as a king with a different surname and enjoyed twenty years of happiness!" ”

"Great! That's great! I don't have to die, great! Cao Shixun's tears of excitement fell.

Cao Shixun was happy, but he heard a burst of applause, "Your life is up to me, not you!" If you don't confess today, this king will surely fry you. It doesn't matter how many years you have left! It turned out that King Yama was annoyed and wanted to forcibly execute Cao Shixun, and Cao Shixun was not allowed to react, so he threw off his sleeves and left.

"Your Excellency!" Cao Shixun hurriedly looked at the judge, "Can he do this?" I still have 20 years to live! This was given to me by King Jizo Bodhisattva. ”

The judge pursed his mouth and said: "Although the status of the Bodhisattva of the King of the Earth is respected, you also know that the county officials are not as good as the current management, Yan Jun is the king of the underworld, and he has annoyed his old man, do you still want to go back?" After speaking, he deliberately sighed and said, "It's a pity, twenty years of Qingfu have been wasted in vain!" ”

"Huh?" Cao Shixun was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly kowtowed to the judge and said, "Please say a few good words to Yan Jun for me!" ”

The judge stroked his beard and said: "It's difficult, you offended Yan Jun, and you left all the cruel words, I went to intercede for you at this time, isn't that ugly?" Unless ......"

Cao Shixun listened to the judge's tone at first, and thought that the matter was irreparable, he was destined to be fried, and his face was already a ball of panic, but when he was about to despair. But I heard the judge say the word "unless", which obviously means that there is still a chance for King Yama to change his mind and take back his fate, so he hurriedly said overjoyed: "Please save me!"

The judge pinched the tip of his beard, shook his head and said, "I can't save you." The only one who can save you is yourself! ”

"Myself?" Cao Shixun asked suspiciously, "I'm just a mortal, how can I make Yan Jun listen to me?" ”

The judge smiled lightly and said, "What Yan Jun just said if you don't confess today. will put you in the oil pot, but if you recruit you, Yan Jun will have face, and his old man will have face, so naturally he will not give face to King Jizo Bodhisattva. They all have face, and you will naturally save your life! ”

Cao Shixun secretly thought: He is only forty-eight years old this year, wouldn't it be a pity if he died? But if he could live another twenty years, he would be sixty-eight years old. Life is rare for seventy years, and it is not in vain that I can live to be sixty-eight years old, not to mention that in the next twenty years, I can still be on the throne and enjoy Qingfu! ”

"No, I can't just die!" Thinking of this, Cao Shixun asked from the judge again, "My lord! If I'm recruited here. Will the yang world also know? If they knew, how could I be happy? ”

The judge shook his head and said, "You don't need to worry about this. Things in Hades. There is no way to know in the yang world, but what the yang world does, the yin division is recorded! In fact, Yan Jun knows everything about you, but he just needs your confession to go through the motions!"

"Good! I'm recruiting! Cao Shixun gritted his teeth and said with determination.

The judge said happily: "Yes! This is the one who knows the times and is the handsome! Say it, I'll remember it for you! ”

Cao Shixun adjusted his thoughts. Said slowly: "Hey! In fact, I didn't want to kill Lu Zizhen at first.

It has been a hundred years since the founding of the Great Qian Dynasty, the Li family has not exhausted its morale, and the new monarch has a faint sense of prosperity, so I judge that although Li and Chen have many troops, they will definitely end in failure. So. I was actively preparing for the battle from the very beginning, ready to rush to the aid of the Wujiang defense line.

But at this time, His Majesty actually sent an envoy to my army and asked me to serve as Lu Zizhen's reserve, didn't this make me give up my head to Lu Zizhen? I can't let that happen. So I deliberately didn't move! The rebels have gathered 300,000 troops on the west bank of the Wujiang River, and Lu Zizhen only has 5,000 troops, which is not enough for Chen Guangxi to stuff his teeth, and I expect that he will not be able to hold out for two days. When the time comes, when they are dead, I will march forward again, and the first credit for holding the Wujiang defense line will still be mine.

However, what I didn't expect was that Chen Guangxi's soldiers were too weak, and Lu Zizhen was indeed tenacious, and he actually held out for six days. So, I sent Peng Xiang to ......"

Cao Shixun told the truth about how to kill Lu Zizhen and hunt down Lu Yuting from beginning to end.

When he finished speaking, the judge also finished writing, and called Niu Tou and Ma Mian to hand the confession to Cao Shixun for signature and detention.

Cao Shixun took it and looked at it carefully, found that the confession was correct, and just wanted to agree to sign, but suddenly doubts arose in his heart: What if everything is fake tonight? With this confession that I signed and detained, my Cao family will never recover.

The judge saw that Cao Shixun was holding the confession and only looked at it without saying a word, so he asked out loud: "Cao Shixun, but the confession is wrong?" Why not? ”

"Ah...... This is the sign, this is the sign! Cao Shixun agreed, and thought in his heart: I once heard that the Yin Cao Difu uses copper pens and iron inkstones, I have to take a look. When he thought of this, he reached out and picked up the pen from the bull's hand and looked at it: Oh, this is really the capital city! Isn't it a copper pen and iron inkstone in your hand? Pick it up and write it, of course, you can't write a word.

At this point, Cao Shixun no longer had any doubts, so he said to the judge: "My lord! I can't write this! ”

"Oh! Forget about this stubble! The judge smiled and said, "Niu Tou, hurry up and change him!" ”

The bull head agreed, and changed the brush again. Cao Shixun took it, signed his name on the confession, and pressed his fingerprints.

Niu Tou and Ma Mian took the confession and handed it to the judge.

The judge looked at it and said, "Is this your confession?" ”

"Yes." Cao Shixun nodded and said.

"Cao Shixun, what else do you say?" The judge asked again.

"When will I return my yang?" Cao Shixun asked eagerly with his eyes.

"Returning to the yang? This is easy! The judge smiled and said, "Someone! Palm light! (To be continued......)
