Before coming down, Liu Cheng told me that he had inquired clearly, what the land temple lacked was a shogunate, also known as the master, not an official position, but the status of the land temple was second only to the land lord, and what he did on weekdays was to record who was born and who died in the township, and then give the land lord a staff when the land lord decided the case.

This position can affect the judgment of the land lord, and it is very important, so the land lord is also very cautious, and said, "There are two test questions in total, and when the time comes, I will choose one person to stay in the land temple according to your answers, and then refer to your past experience and life experience, and the other will return to the yang world." ”

The man next to me and I were okay again.

There is no pen and paper in front of us, but the land lord himself asks questions, and we will answer.

The land lord was sitting at the back of the table, looked at the two of us and asked, "Although it is a peaceful and prosperous era now, there are often murders and arsons, and violations of law and discipline, how do you think the Land Temple should deal with this situation?" ”

When he asked this question, I was overjoyed, I thought that the question asked by the land lord was something I had not prepared, and Liu Cheng had already told me about this question.

After asking, Lord Di gave us some time to think, and then said, "You can answer." ”

The man next to him was confident, and obviously had made preparations, and replied one step ahead of me, "Stop the party with tyranny, establish the authority of theocracy with strict punishment, and govern with a combination of tyranny and punishment." ”

After hearing this, the land lord glanced at this man with great appreciation, and I said in my heart that he deserved to teach, and I would not be able to say such words for another ten years.

After that, the land lord asked me again, "Sun Qing, what about you?" What do you think should be done? ”

I said, "Confucianism, Taoism, and Mo are respected by the law, and the punishment of the officials is supreme, and if the legal system is not discussed, the people will not be selfish, and the punishment and killing will not be forgiven, and the people will not steal for good." ”

I definitely can't think of such words myself, this is the answer Liu Cheng gave me, I have to admire his literary brilliance, and I don't know how I came up with these words.

After I finished speaking, the man next to me looked at me in surprise, he had always thought that I was a person who relied on money to do things, but he didn't expect me to say such a thing, I smiled after I finished speaking.

The land lord listened to my answer, and estimated that it was Liu Cheng who gave me the answer, but he didn't break it, and said, "The second test question, now Yin Si bribery is prevalent, Yin Si from the Si Temple to the land are all using power for personal gain, cronyism, three outlines and five constants are in chaos, and now dogs don't watch their homes, cats don't catch mice, how do you think this problem should be solved?" ”

After he finished speaking, he gave us some time to think about it, and I was happy again, and I memorized the answer to this question.

The man next to me still replied one step ahead of me, and said, "Killing people and setting fire to the gold belt, repairing bridges and repairing roads without corpses, slaughtering dogs every time, and most of the negative hearts are scholars, I came all the way, whether it is the little ghost who brought me here or the little ghost who closes the door and watches the door, they are taking bribes, not only the top is messy, but the bottom is also messy, if you want to solve this problem, there is only one way." ”

"What's the solution?"

"It's better to kill a thousand in vain than to misplace one." The man said.

After hearing this, Lord Di frowned, "Your answer is too bold, it may be useful to the little ghost, and it can be useful to the city god or even the temple?" Without waiting for the man to reply, he looked at me and asked, "What do you think?" ”

I said, "Cultivation is not based on relatives, and governance is not based on officials, and there is no blame for the past, and there is no public purpose in the future." ”

I don't understand the meaning of this sentence, but the land lord understands, and the man next to him also understands, the land lord thinks for a while and then asks, "The key officials at all levels of the Yin Division almost have absolute power, if they don't serve the public as the purpose, then what should they serve?" ”

I said, "Carry by heaven, do the way for heaven, heaven is the law, and the law is the foundation." ”

After hearing this, the land lord left the land temple, and he didn't know where he went, so he left me and the man here.

The man looked at me and said, "Who did you learn from?" I don't believe you can say such a thing? ”

I smiled and replied, "I'm smart." ”

After that, he and I waited here, and after about half an hour, the land lord returned, and the two of us were looking forward to the answer, and the land lord said, "Both of you have said very well, but you would rather kill a thousand in vain than put one wrong, this is too difficult to implement, in this way, I am afraid that not only the land temple, but even the city god temple, all levels of the temple will be completely cleaned, and then you will face the dilemma that no one is available, so you are not suitable, go back." ”

The land lord had already announced the result, but the man was furious when he heard it, pointing at the land lord and saying angrily, "This is obviously not this kid's answer, he can't say something like that, you must have also accepted bribes, don't you still have to refer to your past experience and life experience?" I used to educate people, how many students I taught, and how many books of sages and sages I read, but this kid is afraid that he is still wetting the bed, can he compare to me? ”

The land lord was not annoyed when he heard this, and slowly took out two documents from the table, which were the two documents that Liu Cheng burned in front of the land temple, and said, "In terms of qualifications, you are just a teacher in the yang world, but he has served as a mountain god; In terms of life experience, you were born mediocre, but he is a Taoist disciple. Is there anything else you would like to say? ”

The man looked at the two documents and was immediately stunned, and then stared at me in a daze, and the land lord didn't talk nonsense with him, and directly let the little ghosts on both sides take him away and send him back to the yang world.

After he left, I looked at the land lord and smiled, and the land lord stared at me with a frown and said, "Those answers were taught to you by Liu Cheng, right?" ”

The land lord knew my details, and I couldn't hide it from him, and said, "Yes." ”

The land lord snorted coldly when he heard this, and said, "Heh, he really knows me and knows what the topic I will do, for the sake of him returning the mountain god documents, I will let you serve as the shogunate in the Land Temple, but you stay well in the yang world, why did you come to my Land Temple?" Is there something to ask for? ”

This land lord is very smart, and I don't dare to hide it, so I told my father and mother that they were pressed under the mountain god.

The land lord's face changed when he heard this, "The previous mountain god was divided?" As long as she has served as a mountain god, she will keep a record in the City God Temple, and if she is dismembered, it is impossible for the City God Temple not to know. ”

I don't care about the female mountain god, I only care about my father, "My father and mother were framed, and I begged the land lord to go to the city god to apply for a retrial of my father and mother, and return my father's innocence." ”

Lord Di said, "I know that your father and mother were framed, but if you really want to re-examine, what your grandfather did will definitely be found out, and when the time comes, it will be reported to the City God Temple, and your father and mother may be able to clear their grievances, but your grandfather will definitely be taken away by the City God Temple, are you sure you want to retrial?" I handed over the affairs of your family to your master, precisely to avoid your grandfather, otherwise I would have taken your grandfather away long ago. ”

This is probably the purpose of Liu Cheng asking me to come down to the post, and I said, "I will be the presiding judge, and I will avoid my grandfather." ”

The land lord was happy when he heard this, "You think the land temple was opened by your family?" If you want to be the presiding judge, you can be the presiding judge, and you still want to interrogate your father, can you act impartially? ”

I said, "I'll try, don't you want to find out what's going on in my house." ”

Lord Land replied, "It is precisely because I want to find out that I have not checked your house, I can apply for a retrial of your father, but you can't be the chief judge." ”

"Just once, okay?"

Liu Cheng told me, let me go to the Land Temple to fight hard with the Land Lord, this Land Lord is still a humane person, if I keep being tough, maybe he can agree.

The lord of the land was resolute, and when he was about to reject me, a voice came from outside the temple of the land, "I serve the heavens, the rivers, the sun and the moon, the mountains, the seas and the stars, in my palm, I make the light is the light, the dark is the dark, and the thirty-three days God is under my law, I make the east is the east, and the west is the west, and I will be beheaded from the one who commands me." ”

The land lord heard the man chanting the mantra outside the land temple, turned to look outside the land temple, and saw Liu Chengzheng coming in from the land temple with his fingers, and the land lord was about to speak, Liu Cheng had already arrived in front of the land lord, stretched out his hand and pressed the forehead of the land lord and recited the sentence, "I am in a hurry like a law." ”

I saw that the eyes of the land lord suddenly dizzled, as if he had become a walking corpse without thinking.

Liu Cheng then said, "Okay." ”

The land lord also nodded and said, "Okay." ”

Hearing this, Liu Cheng put down his hand, walked up to me, stretched out his hand and touched my head, and said, "Lord Di agreed, and you will be the judge this time." ”

The land lord eased up, he should know what he just said, it was Liu Cheng who cast a spell on him before he nodded and said okay, and immediately became furious, "Liu Cheng, you dare to use a spell on me?!" ”

Liu Cheng smiled slightly, didn't say anything about using spells against him, changed the topic, bowed to the land lord and said, "Then trouble the land lord, go and apply to the city god for a retrial, and then Sun Qing will preside over the trial, you are a good person, I will pray for you to recite the scriptures." ”

Liu Cheng said and took me to the outside of the Land Temple, and the Land Lord did not pursue Liu Cheng's spell on him, and said in the back, "I thought about it when I heard Sun Qing talk about this just now, a person who once served as a mountain god was dismembered, but the City God Temple was indifferent, I suspect that the City God Temple is also involved in this matter, and it is likely that the City God Temple will be involved at that time, I can deal with it, but the City God Temple is not easy to deal with, you have to think about it, do you really want me to go to the City God Temple to apply." ”

When the man forced us to pick up the money before, he also mentioned that the money and pears were rewarded by the city god, which means that the city god must have something to do with this matter.

Liu Cheng responded lightly after hearing this, "If the city god dares to bully me, then I will make him unable to be this city god." ”
