Chapter 123: Second Round of Examinations
He said that I chose Lord Zhang, the fifth hall of the palace, because this girl was reincarnated in the eyes of the king, and every time I looked at it, I felt worried, and now that Lord Zhang has finally solved this matter, I can also rest assured.
After hearing his words, the rest of the Yamas looked at each other and did not say any more.
King Qin Guang laughed a few times and said, "Everyone, now that the voting results have come out, one abstention, and the final result is five to four. In the end, the king announced that the first in this round was Lord Zhang Yan Zhang, the chief priest of the fifth hall. ”
I politely said a word of concession, acceptance.
The candidates of the rest of the halls all looked at me. I arched my hand at them.
King Qin Guang then asked, "If there is no doubt, then the king will now announce the second round of exam questions." ”
Everyone said there was no doubt. King Qin Guang straightened his face and said, Ladies and gentlemen, the second round of exam questions is about rewards and punishments. As a judge of the underworld, he has to face many souls every day, and they die in different ways, some good and some evil. There are also people who lie and cover up their past before their deaths, which will affect the judge's judgment, so how to effectively screen who is lying, or how to grasp the scale of rewards and punishments, sometimes depends on the judge himself.
King Qin Guang said, we listened carefully.
But at this time, someone said, isn't this a matter of rewarding the good and punishing the evil? Whether it will be appropriate to hand over the affairs of the two ministers to a judge to deal with.
King Qin Guang quickly said that as a qualified bystander, he should have his own yardstick in the screening of rewards and punishments.
After King Qin Guang's words fell, there was no voice of rebuttal.
King Qin Guang continued: "In the second round, there are five people left, and there are five cases waiting for you in the underworld, so you can come up and get the exam questions now." King Qin Guang took a bamboo tube from the table, and there were five bamboo sticks in the bamboo tube, and the five of us immediately took one out.
I took it and looked at it, and it said that the wicked have their own wicked people.
King Qin Guang immediately said to Yin Cha, take all the adults to their temporary palace to try the case, and this round of examination will last for three days.
Yin Cha stepped forward and led me forward, crossed the Lechuan River, and only then did I arrive at the place where I tried the case temporarily. After arriving, it was found that Mi Jiu was also there.
Mi Jiu bowed down to me and called out to me.
After I changed into the prefectural judge's uniform, I sat down at the table, and Mi Jiu asked me, "My lord, can I take the prisoner now?" ”
I hummed.
Mi Jiu opened his throat and shouted: "Come on, bring the prisoner." ”
There is a prisoner's case file on my desk, I opened it and looked at it, and found that this person was carrying ten lives, his name was Wu Long, it can be said that he is a wicked person who does all kinds of evil, and I suddenly thought of a few words on the bamboo stick, could it be that I am trying a wicked person, and I myself will become a wicked person?
I wanted to see who the ten people who died were, but I found that there was no writing on the case file.
I asked Mi Jiu, and Mi Jiu replied, "My lord, that's all for the dossier. ”
In a short time, the wicked man was brought up, and he saw that his face was full of flesh, and his appearance was fierce and vicious, and he was tall. At first glance, he is not a good person.
The shadow held him and made him kneel. He refused to kneel, but he was cleaned up by the yin and then knelt down. He looked up at me and snorted, his eyes full of disdain.
I opened my mouth and said to him, "Wu Long, can you confess your sin? ”
He opened his voice and said: "I'm not guilty, I confess what guilt, I killed all bad people, I am doing good deeds, in the yang world, Lao Tzu was unjustly killed, I thought it would be better to come to the underworld, but I didn't expect you to be complicit from beginning to end." ”
"Bold, how do you talk to adults, come and slap your mouth!" Mi Jiu said in a loud voice beside me.
Wu Long laughed and said, even if you beat me to death, I will not admit my guilt.
Yin Cha was quickly ready to step forward, but I stopped them, saying that they didn't have to.
I then asked Wu Long, "Since you said that you are not guilty, then you tell this official, who are the people you killed?" ”
Wu Long said, I killed corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and killed bad people and robbers.
I then asked, "Do you have any proof that you killed all the bad guys?" ”
Wu Long said angrily: "I don't have any evidence, but you go to Tongxu County, Kaifeng City to ask, who doesn't know that I, Wu Long, is a good person." ”
I thought about it for a while, since it was an exam question, it must not be that simple, I said to Yin Cha, let's take him into custody for the time being.
Yin Cha answered, and went down with Wu Long.
I said to Mi Jiu, you wait for me here, I'll go to the yang world.
Mi Jiu said hello. When I arrived in the yang world, I went to find Daoist Qiu, and when Daoist Qiu saw me, he said, "Is it the second round of exam questions?" I hummed and said yes. I explained the content of the exam questions. Daoist Qiu smiled and said: "King Qin Guang, this old guy is really well-intentioned, you used to be a small judge of the Good Reward Division, and this time you directly let you do the work of punishing the Evil Division." ”
Didn't I say to Daoist Qiu that this topic was immediate?
Daoist Qiu looked at me like a fool and didn't say much. Now the time is about four or five o'clock, and Daoist Qiu asked me to call Cao Tianshi and Xiao Wanwan to set off now. I hummed, Cao Tianshi was still angry, and opened his mouth to complain and say, Zhang Yan, why did you get up so early and rush to reincarnate!
I said to Cao Tianshi, if you want to be reincarnated, I don't mind sending you there.
These words immediately made Cao Tianshi sober up a little, and he smiled at me.
Before leaving, we said goodbye to Wang Ziru's family, we first went to Kaifeng City, and then transferred from Kaifeng City to Tongxu County, and took a carriage to rush to Tongxu County, which arrived from the morning to the afternoon. Compared with Kaifeng City, Tongxu County is different in that it is a bit desolate.
The county seat is either quite large or consists of several streets. At this time, there were few pedestrians on the street, and the whole county seemed to have a strange atmosphere.
We first found a place to live, and then we heard from the shopkeeper, what's wrong with this county? How people are panicking.
The shopkeeper said to us: "It's not just that people are panicking, now everyone is scared to death, there is a murderer in this county." ”
I froze for a few seconds and asked, "What's going on?" ”
The shopkeeper said to us: "A few guest officers, you are really bold, when will you not come to our county, but these days, I advise you not to leave these days, and wait for the government to catch the murderer before leaving." ”
I asked more: "Is there a person from Wu Long in your county, I heard that he is a hero who has removed a lot of disasters for the county." ”
After my words fell, the shopkeeper stared at me for a few seconds, and then he laughed out loud as if he had heard a joke, and said: "Objective, you didn't laugh, you said that Wu Long, who lives on West Street, is a big fool with a problem with his brain, I heard that not long ago, I went to Yu's house to peek at other girls' baths, and looked at it, this fool was cowardly, and directly harmed other girls, and was finally beaten to death by the Yu family." ”
Cao Tianshi said, does the government care?
The shopkeeper said, "Tube! It doesn't matter where it is, but there is evidence and material evidence in this matter, and those two fools deserve to be killed for doing such immoral things. The government couldn't say anything, and the matter was over. ”
After hearing this, I fell into deep thought, could this Wu Long lie to me. However, the dossier of the underworld states that Wu Long did kill ten people.
If it was a second fool, it would be impossible to kill so many people, unless he pretended to be stupid.
I asked the shopkeeper again, who is this Yu family in the county?
Seeing that I kept asking, the shopkeeper coughed a few times and said lightly: "A few guest officers, you have asked so much, do you want to give some money for tea?" ”
I smiled and said, of course.
I took out a banknote from my pocket and gave it to the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper immediately said that his eyebrows flew and danced, this Yu family is a big family in this county, and the family doesn't know that they have money, and they do the silk business, and the silk is sold to the provincial capital. They have several cars in their family alone. But I don't dare to open it recently, because the methods of this skin-picking murderer are too cruel.
I heard him keep talking about the murderer, so I asked, do you know what the murderer looks like?
The shopkeeper shook his head and said, everyone who knows is dead.
The question was almost over, so I asked the shopkeeper to go down first. I said to Daoist Qiu, let's go to Wu Long's house on West Street first. Daoist Qiu said yes. After we settled down, we walked outside, and the shopkeeper stopped us and told us not to go.
I smiled and said it's okay, let's go out for a walk.
Walking down the street, there are a few pedestrians from time to time. It's just that after walking for a long time, Daoist Qiu suddenly stopped.
