In the palace, the feast was gone, and the night was already deep.

"Huh? Why is there no movement? Xu Shangshu's head was dizzy, and he struggled several times and couldn't stand up, so he could only continue to lie on the wine table.

"People, come on, send this official back." Xu Shangshu shouted such a sentence, and suddenly felt his mouth dry, but fortunately, an attendant heard it.

Well, it's supposed to be an attendant, and two of them came to support him and help him up.

"Go back, go home, burp~~~" There was a wine burp, the smell of alcohol surged, Xu Shangshu's head buzzed, and he was very drowsy.

Drifting, drifting, drifting all the way, whew, finally stopped drifting, Xu Shangshu felt a little strange, even weird.

It should be the attendants in the palace who sent him home, but why is this feeling so unreal?

This sense of ephemerality...... Like sitting in a sedan chair?

No, no, I didn't sit in a sedan chair at all, I was carried all the way.

"Hmm, what's going on?" Suddenly feeling a cool breeze blowing on the back of his neck, Xu Shangshu was much more sober, and subconsciously touched the back of his erect neck.

Hey, don't say it, this makes the cool breeze blow, although Xu Shangshu is uneasy in his heart, but his mind is a lot clearer, and he finally noticed that something was wrong.

It doesn't seem like this is your home, huh? No, definitely not!

This is a dim hall, the most striking thing is an object on the right, a very large black shadow, Xu Shangshu took a closer look, it turned out to be something similar to a woman's dresser.

There are platforms and mirrors, the platform is one zhang high, the mirror is ten around, hanging to the east, and there are seven characters on the horizontal - there is no good person in front of the mirror stage

"Evil Mirror Table? What's that? Xu Shangshu looked at the mirror again, and the mirror began to rotate strangely, and finally formed a cyclone.

The cyclone just turned and turned, and it kept spinning, and Xu Shangshu felt that there was a force pulling him, and the force was getting bigger and bigger, bigger and bigger, until he couldn't resist.

Whoosh~~~ Xu Shangshu felt light, and he seemed to be sucked into the cyclone? No, it's not a cyclone, it's a mirror platform.

"Hmph, talk about the rules? If I don't follow the rules, how can I spend more time talking to you in this court? I've already dismantled you and thrown you out to feed the dogs! ”

"Not angry? What kind of young man is he called if he is not vigorous? ”

Is this the time of the morning pilgrimage today? How did I come back here? …… Xu Shangshu was puzzled.

"Three years? It seems that the county horse has been to Golden Scale City for a total of three years, right? ”

"Rich! What does it mean to be rich? ”

Hey, this is the banquet held by the king when the county immediately reported that he was going to pay taxes and grain in batches? Isn't this what the second prince said to himself?

“……”

“……”

Next, Xu Shangshu saw and heard a lot of fragments, from what happened in recent days, a month ago, a year ago, to when he couldn't remember when, it was like a flashback of his whole life.

"No, I really didn't cheat!"

"Your Majesty, I want to see the king, Lord Xu, I want to see the king, I am wronged!"

Although the time point is a little vague, Xu Shangshu will not forget what happened, this is not Xiang Langzhong who was wrongfully killed by himself.

In the end, Xiang Langzhong was convicted of capital crimes, his family sat together, the man was executed, and the female family was punished into the teaching department.

“……”

“……”

There are many fragments again, like a marquee, gradually, Xu Shangshu began to feel uneasy, more and more uneasy, and even panicked.

Many of these are secrets that he can't tell in his heart, not only can't he say it, but he doesn't even want to think about it.

Now, these have been revealed at once, and even a person from the city government like Xu Shangshu can't feel at ease.

…………

"There are no good people in front of the evil mirror, Xu Huaili, are you guilty?" It was a rather majestic voice that constantly reverberated through the main hall.

Xu Shangshu was shocked, and finally pulled out of his fantasy, his back was already dripping with cold sweat.

The evil mirror platform, knowing 30 ➕, panic ➕30

"Who? Who called me? "I have long been accustomed to hearing Xu Shangshu, Lord Xu, and Xu Aiqing, and suddenly heard someone commanding and calling him by name, Xu Huaili's heart was a little uncomfortable.

Bang bang bang ~~~

A few slight sounds, the hall lit up with a little ghostly light, green, and a little blue, perhaps it is more appropriate to call it a ghost fire.

By the faint light, I saw that there was a pair of tables and chairs in the center of the main hall, and a person sat on it, this person was dressed in a purple robe, his eyes were wide open, his lips were closed, and he looked like he was doing business.

This is not the end, Xu Shangshu also saw several other people, perhaps, probably people.

There were two people standing in front of the purple-robed man, one with a bull's head and the other with a horse's face, both of whom were strong;

There were also two people standing behind, one in white, like an official uniform?

His face was full of smiles, tall and thin, his face was pale, his mouth was long and his tongue was long, and the official hat on his head had the words "Fortune at first sight" written on it;

Then there is a person wearing black clothes, which is similar to the style of white clothes, and it should also be an official uniform.

His face is fierce, his body is wide and fat, his face is small, and his face is black, and the words "The World is Peaceful" are written on his official hat.

"Who are you?" Where has Xu Shangshu seen this, he was flustered and a little hairy.

"Ugly~~~" The purple-robed man let out a strange laugh, "Bull-headed and horse-faced, black and white impermanence, you have seduced this Xu Huaili to the soul, but he has violated the law set by the King of Yama?" ”

"The law, what law?" Xu Shangshu is worthy of being an official and is particularly sensitive to this word.

"Yin Cao Difu, four nos, four nos, disloyalty, unfilial piety, unconscientiousness, unbelief, rudeness, unrighteousness, incorruptibility, shamelessness, I don't know how many books you have committed in this world?"

Xu Shangshu: "......"

Suddenly, he was less nervous, you listen, these crimes are nothing big at first glance, even if they are committed, what kind of crime can they be sentenced to?

"Lord Judge, this is Xu Huaili's courage is not small, and he doesn't seem to be afraid of my yin justice."

Niu Tou's voice was a little silly, obviously a threatening sentence, but it came out of his mouth but honestly, like an old farmer, with a distorted weird feeling.

The purple-robed man waved his robe, "Afraid or not, this official is punished lightly for minor crimes, and heavy punishment for serious crimes, and then handed over to the Yin to the punishment platform, sent to the eighteenth layer of hell, until the sentence is completed, and then handed over to the reincarnation hall, six reincarnations." ”

Ma Mian also spoke, "This person is deeply sinful, and he will definitely not be an adult in the next life, and when the time comes, he will lay down the animal road, be a cow and a horse, and turn into a dog is still unknown!" ”

The words were said with embarrassment, mixed with a bit of ridicule, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a mentally normal person can say it, the two emotions are in conflict and opposite, and it sounds very awkward.

"Eighteen layers of hell? Six realms of reincarnation? Xu Shangshu was taken aback, this time he had some impressions, but isn't that a myth or legend? Is it all true?

Bai Wuchang said, "The first layer, the hell of pulling out the tongue, all the people in the world, sow discord, slander and harm others, flamboyant tongue, clever arguments, lies and deceives people. ”

Black Impermanence continued, "After death, he was sent to the hell of pulling out his tongue, and the little ghost broke open the mouth of the person who came to him, clamped the tongue with iron tongs, and pulled it out alive, not at once, but elongated, and dragged slowly......"

Bai Wuchang said again, "The second layer, the ...... of Scissors Hell"

Hei Wuchang continued, like this, like this, the two sang and harmonized, and even said the rules of the eighteen layers of hell.

At first, Xu Shangshu was really suppressed, but gradually, he realized that something was wrong, this black and white impermanence voice was a little too feminine.

Such a feminine male voice is very rare, but Xu Shangshu has heard a lot.

"The eighteenth layer, the hell of knives and saws, cutting corners, deceiving superiors and subordinates, and buying and selling unfairly, will be sent to the hell of knives and saws after death."

"Strip off the clothes of the visitor, tie them to four wooden stakes in the shape of a 'big' figure, start from the crotch to the head, and sawed them to death."

After the black and white impermanence was finished, Xu Shangshu clapped his hands gently, "Yes, what you said is really good, this official is considered to be a long insight." ”

When the purple-robed man heard this, he seemed a little nervous, and he stood up immediately.

"Hmph, if the acting is more realistic, the official may believe it."

Xu Shangshu shook his head, "But what is your name?" Black and white are impermanent, right? These two people are expressionless, and their speech is very stiff, as if they are reciting lines, which is too fake! ”

This argument is valid, but it is not true.

Xu Shangshu actually heard that black and white impermanence were two eunuchs, and the tone and tone of speech were no different from the ordinary little eunuchs in the Dayue Palace, so he made this guess.

Yes, guess, don't look at what Xu Huaili said, but it's all pretended, and the confidence is insufficient.

However, looking at the performance of the purple-robed man, Xu Shangshu was a lot more relieved, and he was timid, it should be fake!

"Excuse me, Xu Huaili, since you refuse to admit your guilt, do you dare to raise your head and look directly at this judge?" The purple-robed man was clearly angry.

"Hehe, why don't you dare?" Xu Shangshu held his head high, and even took a few steps in the direction of the purple-robed man.

"桀桀桀~~~" In the sneer, the purple-robed man's face was visibly cracked with the naked eye.

With a "bang", the outermost robe of the purple-robed man did not move, but his head fell on the table, even so, he still laughed to himself.

Ma Mian exclaimed, "Judge, be careful, your head is off laughing again!" ”

"Ahh Xu Shangshu exclaimed in surprise and collapsed to the ground in fright, "This, this, this ......"

"Boom~~~" In the sneer, the purple-robed man's head crawled like a snake, twisted upward, and grew back to its original place.

Whew~~~ Finally normal, Xu Shangshu let out a sigh of relief, but his eyes were still round, where could he not know that this seemingly human thing in front of him, it was definitely not human.

"Ahh Xu Shangshu exclaimed again, so frightened that he almost turned his back on breath.

It turned out that the purple-robed man's head may not have been firmly secured, and it fell again, but this time it didn't fall on the table, but when it fell halfway, it was caught by the purple-robed man himself.

Click~~~

A small sound came, and the purple-robed man held his head in his hands, twisted on the left, and turned on the right, "This head is not easy to use, I have to change it to a new one." ”

"Your Excellency!" But it was the bull head who spoke, "The head has always been like this, or the adults should change to someone who is the same as me." ”

"No, no, you're so ugly." But it seems to be commonplace.

Xu Shangshu couldn't hold back any longer, he grabbed the ground with his head, banging, "I recruited, I recruited all ......"

…………

"So, Xiang Langzhong, who died in vain a few years ago, was killed by you?"

Xu Shangshu didn't dare to lie, "Yes, I killed it, I killed it." ”

"Okay, the facts are clear, and the prisoner has pleaded guilty, so let's hold the lamp." At this point, there is no need to play it anymore, Lu Zhi waved the purple sleeves of his robe, and he was ready to call it a day.

But it was said that King Yue had been sitting in the dark room behind the mirror platform listening to the trial performance, and now he was also angry, Long Yan said angrily, "Xu Huaili, what else do you have to say?" ”

Xu Shangshu: "??! ”

He's already completely confused, isn't he a judge of the Yin Division? How can there still be a king's voice? Could it be that the king is the king of Yama?

The candlelight in the main hall was lit, and King Yue walked out from behind the evil mirror platform, "What are you still doing in a daze?" Drag this criminal down for me! ”

"Yes!" Two wolf-like forbidden soldiers pounced on them and directly took the stunned Xu Huaili away.

To be reasonable, after such a concoction, Xu Huaili is afraid that he will not be able to recover in a short time, which means that his nerves are relatively tough, or he would have gone crazy a long time ago.

…………

After taking a few deep breaths, King Yue said calmly, "Temporarily resign from the position of the secretary of Xu Huaili's Ministry of Rites, and from now on, I will think about it behind closed doors, and the political affairs of the Ministry of Rites will be entrusted to the two waiters." ”

Pay attention to the word "temporary", the language of officialdom is different from that of ordinary people, these two words mean that if there is no "accident", Xu Shangshu does not have to count on the official reinstatement.

This "accident" may be an unexpected event, or it may be the intercession of a powerful person, usually referring to the latter.

However, at this time period, King Yue is angry, and I am afraid that no one will dare to anger Long Yan.

Should say it or not, Xu Shangshu took Lu Zhi's rhythm, and said that he intended to rebel, which is a bit damaging.

Things have come to this point, it's too much, King Yue is punishing him for several crimes.

It is said that Xu Shangshu should get a prison package, and it is also appropriate to be unforgiving, but after all, he has worked hard and made great achievements, and King Yue cares about the old feelings, which is merciful to his subordinates.

Hey, it's not enough to show mercy to Xu Shangshu, Lu Zhi's side also has to be appeased, so King Yue made another will to rehabilitate Zhaoxue for the Xiang family and Qiu Xiang.

The relationship between Qiu Xiang and the Lu family, King Yue actually knew about it for a long time, or he couldn't specifically hint that Lu Zhi should not do it.

Didn't Lu Zhi test it once before, King Yue said that Xu Shangshu had merit in the country and couldn't move lightly, so he didn't say it casually.

…………

Leaving two oracles, King Yue left, but Wei Zhong didn't leave, obviously he had some questions to ask Lu Zhi.

Wei Zhong was very direct, pointing to the bull head and horse face, "These two are?" ”

"Wooden oxen and flowing horses, just like puppets, among the thousands, there are always one or two as special as General Yu."

Lu Zhi pointed his finger at the little eunuch who played the black and white impermanence, "Wearing a mask can't cover up your clumsy acting skills, bad reviews!" ”

Wei Zhong smiled, a little embarrassed, this scene was almost smashed because of the two little eunuchs under him, "I'll clean them up when I go back." ”

"That's not necessary." Lu Zhi shook his head and took off the mask that had been torn off his face little by little, "I'm okay with this crack man." ”

"Oh, by the way, there's the U-turn, I'll tell you, it's fun."
