There is no public hall in the Taoist temple, so a few chairs were placed in the front yard and arranged a little.

Pingyang ordered Zhang Gong to be invited to the throne, and Ma Ping and the three of them sat around.

Soon after, the bitter lord was brought up.

Seeing that the official was present, the person who came knelt on the ground and kowtowed and said:

"The grass people knock to see the master, the elders of the Dao"

Zhang Gong put away the smile on his face and asked very majestically:

"Who is the hall, where are the people, and what are you doing here?"

Someone came and kowtowed again:

"Back to the adult, the grass people Wang Xiaoliu, the people of Xingyang, come here to freight" As he spoke, he took out a document from his arms and held it in both hands:

"This is the grass people's guide, please check it out."

Immediately, a public servant stepped forward to take it and turned around and handed it over.

Zhang Gong took it and looked at it briefly, knowing that his identity was correct.

Nodding his head, he put Lu Yin aside, touched his three-inch-long dark beard, and continued:

"In that case, you will tell me carefully what you saw and heard last night!"

"Yes, master!" Even after a night, Wang Xiaoliu still couldn't help but shudder:

"Yesterday, a few people such as the grass people missed the overnight stay...... Wu's shop......"

“...... The second uncle is dead......"

“...... They are all dead...... , the grass people took the opportunity to escape"

"In the end, the grass people ran here, and the Taoist chief in the temple killed the female ghost and saved the grass people."

When Zhang Gong heard this, he turned his head to look at several Taoist priests, and nodded when he saw them.

suddenly knew what to expect, and waved his hand to lead Wang Xiaoliu down.

Then he turned and ordered:

"Li Zhutou, you hold the signature of this official. Go and find the people from the Wu family's old shop."

"Humble and commanded!" a duke took the order.

Then he turned his head and said:

"A few Taoist leaders, how about waiting for the people from the shop to come and retrial?"

"It's up to the adults to decide!" Ma Ping and the others naturally didn't have any opinions.

After all, they just happened to have a good time, and there was no need to meddle too much.

"Quit!"

Return from the front yard to the backyard.

A few people walked in the cloister, and Zhang Gong sighed and said:

"How hard the world is!"

"Since this official took office three months ago, there have been two incidents of such evil and harming people!"

"How difficult it is to live for the people!"

Learn to write and martial arts, and the goods are in the emperor's house.

After studying hard for 20 years in exchange for this official uniform, he naturally will not be without ambition in his heart.

Abbot's room.

A few people sat down again, and Pingyang Ling asked directly:

"I don't know if you Taoist leaders, can you teach me?"

Several people were silent for a while, looked at each other, and then Ma Ping bowed his hand and asked:

"I don't know if the adults can do Wendao Palace?"

Zhang Gong was disappointed when he heard this, he naturally looked for the Dao Palace, but the effect was not good.

But still smiled:

"I've been contacted, but there's no news yet"

Seeing that the official was in a vaguely bad mood, Ma Ping smiled slightly and stopped asking.

Whether it was the Dao Palace or the official government, he didn't have the consciousness to help worry about it.

In a word: not in his position, not in his politics!

He just wanted to find a quiet room now and check the merit system.

"I've taken a little merit again!"

The most important thing for him now is to figure out how merit is generated.

"For the first time, Niu Zhuang exterminates ghosts, two merit points"

"The second time, refining Qiao Niang, there is no merit value"

"This is the third time, destroy the zombies, a little merit!"

Ma Ping's brows furrowed into a good-looking arc:

"What is the standard for this?!"

"There are still too few data samples~"

An hour later, the Wu family had already arrived, and a public servant came to ask for an order:

"My lord, the time has come. Do you want to start the trial now?"

It was useless to stay longer, Pingyang Ling shook his sleeves, got up and said:

"Let's start the trial!" and then turned sideways and said:

"A few Taoist leaders, I'll go over later."

"Naturally, I will follow the arrangement of adults"

"Please go first!"

When everyone arrived at the front yard and sat down, Zhang Gong waved his hand:

"Take the Wu family!"

"Take the Wu family!"

In a moment, an old man was brought to the hall by the public and knelt down:

"Grass people Wu Quande, knock on all the masters!"

This case can be said to be all caused by this old man's greed for money.

Pingyang County Commander suppressed a little disgust in his heart and said coldly:

"Wu Quande, the Wu family's shop in the north of the city is your family's industry?"

Hearing that the tone was wrong, the old man became more and more respectful:

"Back to the master, it is the grass people's"

Slapping his palm on the arm of the chair, Pingyang Ling shouted:

"In that case, what happened in the store last night didn't you want to be brought quickly!?"

Bang ~ Bang ~ Bang!

Wu Laohan was suddenly frightened, kowtowed, and soon his head was black, and there were blood stains:

"Forgive me!"

"The grass people just said, this said, yesterday when it was about to get dark......"

“...... The grass people said that there was no room, but those people must stay......"

"In the middle of the night, I suddenly heard a scream, saying that there was a female ghost eating people......"

"The grass people hurriedly got up to check, but they only saw three corpses, the body of the grass people's daughter-in-law and the last handlebar style were missing......

"The grass people originally planned to wait for the report to the official after dawn, and please ask the adults to know it!"

"Hmm~" The anger in Zhang Gong's heart dissipated a little:

"Stand aside," he said, turning and commanding:

"Bring the bitter lord Wang Xiaoliu!"

"Take Wang Xiaoliu!"

Not long after, Wang Xiaoliu brought it and knelt down in the hall.

Zhang Gong coughed lightly, and Zhengse said:

"Before and after this incident, the official has already understood, so let's wait for the verdict!"

"Yes!"

His majestic gaze swept the hall, and he nodded slightly to several Taoist priests.

He said:

"Wu Quande, this matter is all because of you, so I sentenced you to a fine of ten taels of silver, can you accept the judgment?"

Ten taels of silver is equivalent to two months' profits!

For a moment, as if he had been drained of his spirit, Wu Quande lay down and said:

"Yes, sir!"

Get this one, and the next one will be simple, Zhang Gong continued:

"Wang Xiaoliu, you have to be careful in the future."

"Later, there will be an official document for you, you can take it and go to your hometown"

Wang Xiaoliu's eyes were red, and he kowtowed:

"Yes, thank you for your grace!"

"Hmm" nodded slightly, glanced at it and said:

"In that case, then let's get out of the hall!"

"Retreat~Might~"

Backyard, gazebo.

Re-brewed the hot tea and poured it for a few people.

Pingyang ordered Zhang Gong to take a sip and put down the teacup.

He had already figured it out at this time, and provoked the conversation again:

"I often hear people talk about zombies, but I don't know how this zombie is generated?"

In the end, it was the local parent official, and the Chiyang Dao people didn't want to be too stiff, so they said:

"When a person dies, if he doesn't swallow a breath of resentment, he will easily become a zombie"

"In addition, where the yin qi is too strong, it is easy to generate zombies."

"Oh?" he asked, with some interest:

"Then I don't know why the female corpse this time became a zombie?"

Without waiting for others to say, Ma Ping put down the teacup and said towards Pingyang Lingzhengse:

"It's resentment!"

"Besides, in fact, the adult said that the female corpse is not right"

Zhang Gong was slightly stunned and said curiously:

"Please also ask the chief to clarify your doubts"

Seeing that several people were looking at him, Ma Ping did not hide it, and said directly:

"The female corpse is not a zombie"

Suddenly, Zhang Gong, Chiyang Daoren, and Anyang Daoist were stunned again.

"The real zombie is actually in the belly of the female corpse......

Anyang Daoren clapped his hands suddenly and said:

"Corpse Baby!?"

Dead Baby.

A full-term baby cannot be born into the world because of the death of the mother.

Because of the resentment, he became a zombie, and this is a corpse baby!

Zombies are damned, but how innocent is this baby?!

After listening to everyone's explanation, Zhang Gong couldn't help but sigh:

"It's a pity, it's pitiful!"
