10. Worship the ancestors and punish them

Hearing the familiar voice, Yun Zhi squinted his eyes at the man on horseback, and immediately the man had standard sword eyebrows and starry eyes, as if he had condensed the majestic righteousness of heaven and earth on this face.

It's not Lu Shenjun, who is it!

Yun Zhixin chuckled in his heart, what's going on? Isn't the Criminal Prosecutor's Department here tomorrow?

She looked back at Xiao Yi, but saw that he was covering his face with his hands and rubbing the corners of his forehead, looking sleepy, and he didn't answer the look she handed over.

Pei Shun, who was on the side, suddenly said "Huh" and got out of the carriage first, Ah Yu followed closely, seeing that Xiao Yi had also gotten up, Yun Zhi hurriedly grabbed him and asked in a low voice: "My second brother is outside!" Now what? ”

Xiao Yi turned to look at her, raised his hand and patted her lightly on the shoulder, and without saying anything, he followed her out of the carriage.

There was no way, Yun Zhi had no choice but to get out of the carriage.

As soon as he landed and stood firmly, he heard a deep and serious voice coming over: "Why are you here?" ”

"I ......" Yun Zhi didn't even dare to raise her head, but before she opened her mouth to say a word, she heard Pei Shun standing in front laugh twice, "I haven't seen you for many years, but Brother Shenjun's righteousness hasn't changed at all!" ”

Pei Shun also knows Lu Shenjun?

Yun Zhi quietly raised his eyes and looked over, and saw that Lu Shenjun was really joking with Pei Shun, "You are the same, you are still so free and easy!" ”

As he spoke, he turned his head, and his eyes suddenly collided, causing the smile on the corner of the lord's lips to freeze instantly.

Yun Zhi saw that he couldn't hide, so he raised his hand to greet him: "Hey second brother, what a coincidence, hehe......"

Lu Shenjun didn't care about catching up with Pei Shun, and walked in front of her in almost two steps, "Why are you here!" You're not ......."

Halfway through the words, someone next to him suddenly coughed, and his tone was light: "Brother Shenjun, don't come to harm." ”

Lu Shenjun was about to admonish his sister, when he heard this voice, he was stunned, and when he turned his head, he saw that someone was looking at him with a smile, and he subconsciously wanted to give it up, so he lowered his eyebrows slightly, and before he could raise his arm, he was hugged.

This person's tone was full of joy for reunion, "Oh, I really didn't expect to meet Brother Shenjun here, fate!" ”

As he spoke, he whispered a few words in his ear, Lu Shenjun was stunned, and pushed the person away, his face gloomy, "You guys...... You ......" He turned his gaze back and forth on several people a few times, and finally threw down a sentence: "What nonsense!" ”

After speaking, he turned around and got on his horse, and at the same time ordered the accompanying criminal prosecutor to escort everyone back to the inn in Jiahe Town.

After taking the people back to the inn, Lu Shenjun led the team to the Jiahe Town Government, leaving only two people from the Criminal Prosecutor's Department to guard the door.

The four of them were locked up in the same room, and Ah Yu saw that they seemed to know Master Lu, the chief envoy of the Criminal Prosecution Division, so he asked a few more questions about their relationship with the chief envoy Lu, Yun Zhi thought that he couldn't hide it anyway, so he simply confessed his identity.

After Pei Shun heard her say that she was the second lady of the Anguo Mansion, she couldn't help but ask, "You are Lu Yunzhi?" Marry Dayuanning, Wang Huan, Chengyao, that Lu Yunzhi? ”

"Shh Yun Zhi glared at him, "You are quieter!" ”

Pei Shun looked at Xiao Yi again, his eyes full of surprise, "You, do you know that she is ......?" ”

"Yes." Xiao Yi's expression and tone were calm, "Of course I know that she is Ning...... Hmmm......"

Yun Zhi heard what he was going to say in the last three words, so he hurriedly came over and covered his mouth, and said with a sneer: "It can also be not!" ”

"Oh?" Pei Shun's eyes fell on the two of them, and said with a smile: "It sounds like our Xiao Yunzhi doesn't seem to want to do anything Princess Ning." ”

There was a bit of schadenfreude in his tone, and Yun Zhi only thought he was laughing at himself, so he snorted and shouted in a low voice: "Then King Ning is not a good person, if I want to be Princess Ning, it would be strange, right?" ”

Pei Shun laughed out loud as if he had heard something funny, and even Ah Yu pursed his lips and shrugged his shoulders. Yun Zhi was confused, she didn't say anything wrong, King Ning was deaf and dumb, and he poisoned his brother, he was indeed not a good person.

She couldn't help but look at Xiao Yi beside her, and saw that he still looked light-hearted, so she was relieved, but then, she began to worry about the situation in front of her again, "Xiao Yi, do you think my second brother will arrest us back?" ”

It was not easy to find a reason to escape, and if I was caught, it would be difficult to come up with it again.

Although Xiao Yi's tone was indifferent, he was determined, "Don't worry, he won't arrest you back." ”

Yun Zhi didn't know where he got his confidence, and asked curiously: "How do you know?" ”

Xiao Yi said slowly: "Because I told him that you separated your husband and wife on the night of your wedding, and you missed King Ning day and night to wash your face with tears, so you found a way to go out of the palace and wanted to catch up with His Royal Highness King Ning to comfort the pain of lovesickness." ”

As soon as these words came out, Ah Yu and Pei Shun both pressed the corners of their mouths and looked up at the sky, and Yun Zhi almost couldn't believe what he had heard.

"It's not...... Would you like to hear what you are saying? For this reason, can my second brother believe it? ”

Xiao Yi looked innocent, "He believes it." ”

“……”

Can Lu Shenjun believe this statement? He's the chief investigator of the Criminal Prosecutor's Office, who is skeptical of everything! How could it be believed? Yun Zhi faintly felt that there seemed to be something wrong with this, but he couldn't grasp the key for a while, and he only secretly wondered for a long time.

。

The ancestral worship ceremony in the town did not stop with the arrival of the Criminal Prosecutor's Division.

The sound of firecrackers opened the curtain of the night, the lion dance and the dragon dance, the gongs and drums filled the long street, up to the old man and down to the drooping hair, almost the whole town gathered in front of the ancestral hall in the south of the town. During the day, an altar has been erected in front of the ancestral hall, and at this moment, everyone is standing under this altar, waiting for the ceremony to officially begin.

Yun Zhi and the Criminal Prosecutor Department were also secretly hiding in the crowd, the Criminal Prosecutor Department was here to check for clues, and Yun Zhi and them were purely joining in the fun.

After a short time, the mayor walked out of the ancestral hall and walked up to the altar in the presence of everyone.

The mayor was an old man with a white beard, and he looked very kind, and what had happened in the town in the past few days had made the old mayor very worried, and his face looked a lot haggard.

The mayor of the town held a bronze cong in both hands, and after coming to the stage, he first glanced at the people under the altar, then turned to face the direction of the ancestral tablet and the moon, raised his hands above his head, and read aloud: "The ancestor is on the spirit, and the descendant Xu Hu and the clan are here to pay respects!" ”

"Bye-"

The mayor's voice was like a bell, and almost all the people in the audience knelt down, and Yun Zhi and several people squatted down tacitly.

"Thanks to the blessing of our ancestors, Jiahe Town has never lived up to the name of Jiahe since the establishment of the town! However, recently, there have been a succession of people who have suffered misfortunes, and I think it must be our virtue that has made the ancestors dissatisfied. ”

"I hope the ancestors will bless you!"

"I hope the ancestors will bless you!"

Everyone shouted and worshipped, in unison.

Yun Zhizheng sighed that this ancestor worship ceremony was really magnificent, and suddenly, a cold wind hit, followed by a large ink-colored cloud surging over the stars and moon that covered the sky, and the next moment there was a violent wind, lightning and thunder.

A drop of rain fell on the top of Yun Zhi's head, she looked up at the thunder and lightning that was hidden in the clouds, and a touch of foreboding rose in her heart, Xiao Yi next to her suddenly leaned towards her at this moment, she keenly caught the trace of panic on his face, was slightly stunned, and couldn't help laughing.

"Can't you see it, you're afraid of thunder?" Yun Zhi's low voice was full of banter.

Xiao Yi's fingers clenched his sleeves, and he didn't choke back with her for the first time.

Seeing this, Yun Zhi suddenly felt a little unbearable, so he also leaned towards him, stretched out his arm and handed it to him, "Now, if you're afraid, you can hold on to me." ”

Xiao Yi was obviously stunned for a moment, looked at her sideways for a while, and hugged her arm obediently.

Pei Shun snorted, and was about to tease him, when Ah Yu on his side suddenly shouted: "Be careful!" ”

Then they saw a bolt of lightning smash through the altar, followed by a loud explosion of thunder.

Suddenly, everyone was stunned, and when they came back to their senses and looked at the altar, they saw that the mayor had fallen on the altar.

Several townspeople and people from the Criminal Investigation Department hurriedly came to the stage to save people, and seeing that the first person's hand was about to touch the mayor, Yun Zhi quickly stood up and shouted: "Stop!" Don't touch him! ”

However, it was too late for her to say this, and the first person who touched the mayor lay twitching beside the mayor in the blink of an eye, and everyone looked at Yun Zhi in unison.

She hurriedly explained: "He was struck by lightning, and there was still static electricity on his body just now, and if you touch him, he will be electrocuted, but ...... Now it's time to touch. As he spoke, Yun Zhi pointed to the person lying next to the mayor, "He has already helped get the electricity out." ”

Few people present could understand what she said about static electricity conductivity, and even if she said that she could touch it, because the first person had already fallen, everyone hesitated and did not dare to act rashly.

The clouds were thundering, Yun Zhi looked up at the sky, and persuaded: "It's going to rain soon, let's carry people into the ancestral hall to avoid the rain first!" ”

Everyone still didn't dare to move.

At this moment, another thunderbolt struck the mayor again.

Suddenly, someone in the crowd giggled.

"Retribution! God has eyes! Ancestors have eyes! A scribbled young man threw his hands up and knelt on the ground and shouted, "This is all retribution!" ”

"Alpine! What nonsense are you talking about! The one-year-old woman stepped forward and grabbed his ear, "The old mayor is so good, and he saved your life, and the sage books have been eaten by you!" How can you say such ungrateful words! ”

"See if I don't kill you kid!" The old woman had already raised her crutches, and Yun Zhi was about to step forward to adjust subconsciously.

Before he could take a step, a bolt of lightning lit up almost the entire town, and it actually slashed down at the mayor again.

Seeing this, the young man smiled and said, "See, see, this is all his retribution for his evil!" Retribution! ”

The woman's crutches finally fell, "You still say! And said! I'll kill you kid! ”

The next moment, however, the woman stopped, and in fact, everyone present froze.

Everyone saw that two more flashes of purple light fell from the sky one after another, and without exception, they all fell on the mayor.
