Chapter 10: Bizarre Verdict

Anping County has made these days of forgetting to sleep and eating, and it is anxious.

In one night, thousands of lives were killed in dozens of villages under Mangdang Mountain, and the deaths were extremely tragic, and all the houses were burned down.

The Anping County Commander was very uneasy and anxious, so he wrote a letter overnight, 800 miles in an emergency, and sent the situation to the state government urgently.

Who would have thought that such a matter of human life was at stake, and the state government just wanted to do it hastily.

At the time of the invasion of the Great Liao, the Zhongshu, the Privy Council, and the three divisions were all busy preparing for the war, and how could they have time to take care of the lives of the common people.

The situation was reported for several days, but no one cared about it, as if a stone had sunk into the sea and there was no news.

Liu Kun, the commander of Anping County, was so anxious that he went back and forth in the lobby, looking up at the door from time to time, and couldn't wait for the reply of the state government.

I waited like this for three days, but there was still no reply.

Liu Kun sighed helplessly. The thousands of lives that were innocently and unjustly killed are related to the social affairs of the Great Song Dynasty and the personal safety of the people of Limin.

Now that no one cares about the strange case, this great Song Dynasty is in danger for a long time.

Although I, Liu Kun, am a small and humble official, I must seek justice for these ordinary people who died unjustly.

Two days later, he came back to report: "There is no evidence, all the people in the village died, all of them were fatally wounded by swords, no one knew about it, and it was a headless tragedy."

As the parents of the people, they should be the masters of the people, and if such a big case occurs in the jurisdiction, if it is not quickly detected, how can it be worthy of the dead souls.

Liu Kun, the commander of Anping County, pondered silently, looking at the peach blossoms scattered outside the window after the rain, it was really human life like grass mustard, and the flowers in troubled times were also crippled.

Liu Kun couldn't understand how anyone dared to be so bold and do this big case overnight, to kill so many people, and no one escaped, it was definitely not one or two people who could do it, even 100,000 troops, and they couldn't do it, it was incredible, could it be the Liao army?

However, there is no sign of Liao army activities in this area in the near future, and it is also impossible, and Anping County is puzzled, and there is no way to solve the case.

When he saw Gao Yong, the old general of the former dynasty who came to beat the drum and voice his grievances, he was suddenly shocked in his heart, this could not be for this case.

Hurriedly ran over, picked up Gao Yong, who was kneeling on the ground, and said respectfully: "Old general, when you come to the county office, you are the distinguished guest of my county office, let the general bow and bow, how can the lower officials bear it."

The general asked to take a seat, and the county commander Gao Yong was allowed to sit down on a chair on the left side of the public hall.

Gao Yong said: "Liu County Order doesn't have to be polite, I'm here to beat the drum today to voice grievances, there is a shocking case, I hope you can be immediately promoted to the court for trial."

It turns out that the surname of this county order is Liu, named Liu Kun, is the descendant of Liu Bei, the emperor of Shu during the Three Kingdoms period.

Liu Kun, the living bodhisattva, was immediately promoted to the hall, and the three classes of officials stood on both sides, chanting in unison...... Wu ...... is really majestic and murderous, and it is a county order that hangs high in the mirror of law enforcement justice.

I saw this living Bodhisattva Liu Kun, Tang Mu patted, majestic, and the four big characters behind him: "Mirror Hanging" are very dazzling.

Gao Yong, the old general of the former dynasty, you beat the drum and shouted grievances, and came to complain, what are you suing now, who are you accusing, and what grievances you have, let's talk about it carefully.

Liu Kun, the living bodhisattva, shouted loudly.

Gao Yong replied: "The grass people sued the Eight Great Vajra under the Southern Heavenly King of the Heavenly Realm for misconduct and killed thousands of villagers overnight."

The living bodhisattva Liu Kun was taken aback when he heard this: "How could this immortal come to the mortal world to commit crimes, is the old general Gao Yong old and confused, how can he say such a funny language, and the officials are also very surprised."

Gao Yong old general, you are also a general of the former dynasty, you only have the power of the court, you can't joke at will above the court, this immortal went to the mortal world to commit crimes, it is unheard of, unheard of, unprecedented, unprecedented, don't say anything.

Gao Yong said: "After I am the founding father of the Great Song Dynasty, how can I talk nonsense, there are indeed things, there are people, and I can see it with my own eyes."

Then he told Liu Kun truthfully about how the Eight King Kongs went to his yard to eat, how to smash the table under threats after eating, how to burn and loot, rape ** women, and kill villagers.

After Liu Kun and the officials heard this, they were sad and indignant, and wept.

After listening to Gao Yong's case, Liu Kun, the living bodhisattva, felt that the immortals had no motive for killing people, where was his motive for killing?

So he asked Gao Yong again: "Old general, do you know the motives of the Eight King Kongs for killing people, why did they come to the mortal world to commit crimes, and the people in the mortal world have no grievances with them, why did they kill them."

Gao Yong said: On Mangdang Mountain, there is a temple called Nantianwang Temple, the temple is dedicated to the Nantianwang, and there are statues of the eight King Kongs on both sides of the Nantianwang.

During the banquet, I heard the Eight Great King Kong say that the four heavenly kings of the fairy world competed with each other for incense, just because in recent years, the villagers near Mangdang Mountain have suffered natural disasters and man-made disasters for many years, and the crops have not been harvested, and the people have no money to buy incense and have not gone to the temple to offer incense.

When the county magistrate Liu Kun heard it: "In this troubled world, the fairy world has innocently injured thousands of lives for the sake of incense, and it is intolerable to heaven and resentful", and sentenced on the spot:

1. Immediately, I will present a fold, select a good day and an auspicious day, and explain to the Jade Emperor of the Heavenly Palace that the Eight King Kongs were instructed by the Southern Heavenly King to brutally kill thousands of lives under Mangdang Mountain, and ask the Jade Emperor to dispose of such scum immortals and correct the heavenly realm.

2. The human judgment is that the King of the South Heaven instructed the Eight Great King Kongs to commit murder, brutally killed thousands of lives at the foot of Mangdang Mountain, committed the crime of heaven, and was sentenced to beheading in accordance with the laws of the Great Song Dynasty.

3. As an immortal, the Eight Great King Kongs disregarded the lives and deaths of the Li people, regardless of the suffering of the Li people, committed murder with swords, burned and killed adultery, and brutally killed thousands of lives under Mangdang Mountain.

Tomorrow at noon.

Retirement.

The crowd of onlookers in the hall applauded and cheered, the old man of the blue sky, the master of the blue sky, the shouting was endless, and it was difficult to calm down for a long time.

After retiring, the living bodhisattva Liu Kun invited Gao Yong to the side hall to talk and exchange views on this matter.

Liu Kun spoke first: "Old General Gao, today's bizarre case finally has a mystery, but this judgment of the immortals is unprecedented, I don't know how to judge, deep down in my heart, I spelled the word justice, and made the verdict just now, in the eyes of General Gao, whether it is appropriate."

Liu Zhixian, what a genius, the blue sky in the minds of the common people, your verdict made me, an old man, not expect that you could make such a verdict, the old man admired the five bodies to the ground, but you and I offended the gods of the Heavenly Palace, I'm afraid this is also unprecedented, I don't know what kind of difficulties I will encounter in the future, aren't you afraid of Liu Kun? Gao Yong asked.

Liu Kun said: "As a magistrate, I was originally the parent official of the people, and now the people in the land under my jurisdiction have suffered such a tragic killing, if I settle the matter and protect my life, I will end this case in a daze, how can I be worthy of the thousands of lives that have been unjustly killed, how to let them rest in peace under the nine springs, the law is not favoritistic, and the same is true for the gods who violate the law, even if my life is not guaranteed, I will not hesitate to do so, and I am willing to correct the law with my body."

Gao Yong was deeply moved by Liu Kun's impassioned words, hurriedly got up, and said with relief: "I represent the thousands of lives that have died, and I represent the thousands of souls who have died, and I will give this great gift to the Lord Qingtian, for the justice of the world, for the justice of the world, for the justice of the world."

Gao Yong knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Liu Zhixian three times, and Liu Kun quickly got up and helped Gao Yong.

said: "The old general is highly respected, benevolent, and a model for us to learn, how can the subordinate officials afford such a big gift."

The two of them were modest, and Gao Yong left the county yamen and returned to his home.
