Chapter 616: A Blood Seal
At this moment, when Cao Yang's undead saw a black scar on Hu Xiangcai's left face, he remembered that when he resisted a gang of gangsters on the Chibi River, he grabbed off one of the gangsters' dog drill hat with one hand, and suddenly a black scar appeared on the left side of the gangster's face, and he had already identified it as the person kneeling in front of the hall in front of him.
Cao Yang's undead shouted, I testify, you are the villain who pressed me to drown me alive in the cold river with a pole.
Hu Xiangcai's soul began to tremble.
The judge said, the guilty soul wants to make money, and the owner of the goods who was murdered by you on the Chibi River comes to testify, what else can be denied?
Hu Xiangcai's soul bowed his head and was silent.
The bull head suddenly spoke, and reported to the judge, I have here a copy of the crime of exposing Hu Xiangcai.
The judge asked, "Who wrote the writ?"
The bull head replied that it was written by the land god of Songjia Village.
Ma Mian added that the soul we had arrested Hu Xiangcai was on the way back to Hades, when the land god stopped us and said that there was a case exposing Hu Xiangcai's crimes, and asked us to take it to Hades and hand it over to the judge of the Ghost Judgment Palace.
The judge did not answer the letter from the bull, but said, "Read it to me."
The bull's head brightened, and his voice was about to be read. The judge suddenly changed his mind, shook his hand, and motioned for him to hand it over to the dejected soul of Hu Xiangcai, who was kneeling.
The judge looked at Hu Xiangcai's soul and said, You can stand up and read it aloud.
Hu Xiangcai's soul took the form, was stunned for a moment, stood up, and read according to the situation, and his voice was not loud: The land god of Songjia Village, Puqi County, Dongtuguo, Nanzhan Buzhou, sued Diao Min Hu Xiangcai......
The judge snapped and read aloud.
Hu Xiangcai's soul raised his voice: The land god of Songjia Village, Puqi County, Dongtuguo, Nanzhan Buzhou, sued Diao Min Hu Xiangcai for setting a trap to obtain ill-gotten gains.
The facts are now stated as follows: On the morning of April 14, Tongzhi 13, Diao Min Hu Xiangcai invited his brothers Hu Micai and Hu Decai to go to the old man's house in Songjia Village to collect ramie, and took advantage of the fact that the old man Song and his wife only cared about handing over the hemp and passing the scales, and the manpower was not enough to take care of the incomplete, and stole more than 2,000 catties of ramie from the upstairs of their house, so that the fruits of the hard work of the old man were damaged in vain.
Diao Min thinks about wealth and even the old man is ruthless and defrauded, which is really unconscionable. The little god hereby pleaded with the magistrate of the Ghost Judgment Hall to detain and judge Diao Min's nonsense and wealth accordingly, and punish him for a serious crime, so that he will not be harmed by returning to the world. Audition.
After Hu Xiangcai's soul finished reading, he put the shape on the table in front of the temple, and then returned and knelt on the ground.
The judge said, "The guilty soul is thinking about money, is it true that you are guilty of the crimes listed in the complaint?"
Hu Xiangcai's soul didn't answer, just kept nodding.
The judge looked at the rank Yin official and said that the guilty soul Hu Xiangcai had done a lot of evil in the yang world, and he was ruthless, and he and his accomplices should be sent to hell for the crime of setting a trap and stealing the property of an elderly man who was dozens of years old.
A ghost pawn said respectfully, may I ask the judge, there are eighteen layers of hell in the underworld, and there are sixteen small hells in each layer of hell.
After a little consideration, the judge replied, "The sin soul is doing evil with one hand, and I think he will be pushed into the hell of the severed hand to be punished."
Hu Xiangcai's soul began to tremble, and he shouted loudly in fear, "Judge, spare your life!" Spare your life! ……
And the judge said, Thou hast not yet received thy sentence, and thou hast been so afraid. If you knew today, why bother in the first place? With a wave of his hand, he issued an order and pushed it down.
I saw that the ghost pawn threw off the chain, and he trapped Hu Xiangcai's soul, and then escorted him out of the gate of the Ghost Judgment Palace.
On this morning, Hu Xiangcai's house in Hujiazhuang was silent.
When Hu Xiangcai woke up, he felt that his body was in great pain, especially the hot fever in his wrists. He fixed his eyes on them, and they were swollen like buns, and pressed a tail with his finger; The finger left, and the Tai'er immediately bounced again.
Hu Xiangcai said to himself puzzled, did I get something bitten on my hand? He arched his elbow and lifted the quilt to see that there was nothing on the list in the quilt, and he was quite puzzled. He wanted to get up and move slightly, either his hands hurt or his body hurt. He gritted his teeth and counted, what a bad luck! So he cried out loudly, Mom-
After a while, an old mother came over. That is, Hu Mu - his mother. Hu Mu asked, do you want to make money, why do you call me?
Hu Xiangcai barely supported his body, sat up with his buttocks against the bedside baffle, stretched out a pair of wrists that were swollen like buns and said, Mom, I don't know how to do it, overnight, it became like this.
Hu Mu was shocked, how did she do it after saying a few words? I pulled one of Hu Xiangcai's wrists to look at it, but as soon as I touched him, I screamed in pain. Hu's mother had to give up and went out very anxiously to call her wife. It is also said that it is Hu's father!
Father Hu was washing his face, still holding a towel in his hand and not yet wiping his bearded face, he didn't have the intention to wipe it, approached the edge of the bed, stared at Hu Xiangcai's swollen wrists, and even asked strangely, son! What's going on?
Hu Xiangcai said, Dad, how do I know? After a night's sleep, it became like this.
Father Hu guessed, could it be that a centipede crawled on one of your wrists? His eyes kept looking, and then he experientially sighed, this is not like a centipede crawling, if a centipede crawls, there will be burn-like burns on your hands, but you don't have that kind of marks on your hands.
Hu Xiangcai pressed his waist with his left elbow and said sadly, I also have pain in my body.
Father Hu reached out and gently lifted Hu Xiangcai's vest, and a blood mark appeared on his back, which made Father Hu heartache and fear.
Hu Mu stood next to him and saw it, and said in horror yes, oops! It was as if someone had been whipped on his back.
Father Hu opened his eyes wide, looked up and down, looked left and right, and then asked, did anyone come in last night?
Hu Mu replied, no one came in, I opened the door in the morning, and saw the front door and back door in the house, the front door and the back window, so good, no one moved, and there was no loss of anything in the house, where would anyone come in?
Father Hu said, that's weird, how did you become like this?
Hu Xiangcai said, Mom, when I heard you, I was really alert, did someone come in and beat me last night? And pointed to the earthen urn next to the wall and said, Mom and Dad, which of you two opened it to see, there were 8,000 copper coins in it, count it, and see if it was bad.
Father Hu turned around and approached the wall, lifted the lid of the urn, grabbed the mouth of the urn with one hand, supported the bottom of the urn with the other, turned his head and fell down, and a large pile of copper coins popped out, covering the ground about the size of a basket.
At this time, Hu's father squatted on the ground to count the money, and Hu's mother also squatted on the ground to count the money, each counting their own, regardless of Hu Xiangcai's illness for the time being. After only a cup of tea, the two elders adjusted the number of copper coins for each person. Father Hu stood up and looked at Hu Xiangcai, who was still sitting on the bed, and said, "It's just 8,000 hanging money, which is not a penny."
Hu Xiangcai said in a weird way, that's strange, no one entered the house last night, how did I become like this?
Hu's mother was still terrified, and approached Hu's father and whispered, could it be that he was beaten by a ghost?
Father Hu has always been an atheist, glared at her, and said loudly, where are the ghosts? Now only two powerful men in the village can be called to carry Hu Xiangcai on a stretcher to the store where bruises are treated at the north gate of Puqi for treatment, what do you see?
Hu Xiangcai said, Dad, take out a few hundred hanging money from 8,000 copper coins to treat me, and the rest of the money has always been put into the earthen urn, sealed the mouth, and my mother must take care of it at home, this is the money I earned with Hu Micai and Hu Decai's gang to buy ramie, the money has not been distributed to them, they want to share it with them today or tomorrow, it seems that it can't be divided for the time being, and after my hands are cured, I will consider this matter.
Hu Mu said, with so much money, I will definitely take care of it.
Father Hu found a few handfuls of money from the copper pile, and the excess was always stuffed into the tuong.
Hu Mu also came over to help stuff the mouth of the earthen urn until there was no more money left on the ground.
Father Hu went out, walked to the door and turned back to think of wealth, you hold on for a while, I will go to the village and ask two powerful men to carry you on a stretcher to the county seat to see a doctor.
Hu Xiangcai said "um".
Hu's mother walked out of this room to make a bowl of flour gnocchi with soup, and sent it to the bed to feed Hu Xiangcai with a spoon.
Hu Xiangcai said, Mom, my mouth is stinky, scoop a bowl of water and rinse my mouth before eating!
Hu Mu said, good! So he put a bowl of flour lumps on the low table beside the bed and went out.
