Chapter 281 Turning the world upside down and turning the sun and the moon
Qi Jingzhi was slightly startled, why do these old people like to let him, a young man, judge the crime?

But compared to Old Cheng Huang, the Jin Yamen commander may not have good intentions in his heart.

Fortunately, this was not the first time for Qi Jingzhi to face such an examination, so he did not refuse at the moment. He thought about it briefly before replying: "In the opinion of the official, this kind of thing must either follow the rules of the mountains, the weak and the strong, and each can accept his destiny, or According to the rules of the world, the rules are clear and the judgment is based on the law. You can only choose one of the two, otherwise it will be a shameless act."

"If we follow the rules in the mountains, it would be absolutely unlucky for these two wild foxes to kill people with their sharp claws and claws, and then be caught by the human race. This female fox obviously knows some Daqi laws, so she resolutely chose the human world The rules, she kept saying she was willing to obey the law in exchange for her husband's life..."

Qi Jingzhi's words were very similar to what he had said to the foxes under the tree, and they were also his consistent creed.

Hearing this, there was already a lot of noise in the crowd of onlookers, and the people couldn't help but talk about it. Some people sympathized with the two wild foxes, and even more people shouted to kill them. There were also some people who uttered obscene words and said something to the hunter. He was so envious that he was immediately beaten up by the furious women and ran away.

Amidst the commotion, when the young captain spoke again, these noises disappeared in an instant.

"Commander Cai Qiu spoke clearly just now. He was asking how the lower officials would 'trial' the case. Since it is a trial, it must be in accordance with the "Da Qi Code", and the "Da Qi Code" contains clear words..."

"Whoever seizes the wife of a good family and takes her as a concubine shall be hanged; whoever rapes a married woman shall die; and whoever has no husband shall be punished with a rod of one hundred and seventeen."

"If these two wild foxes are treated as sentient beings, and what the female fox said is indeed true, then the one who deserves death in this case should be the Orion!"

"It is natural and natural for a male fox to save his wife. The female fox who was detained for rape and humiliation killed the hunter out of desperation. This is even more pitiable and the law cannot tolerate it. Therefore, these two wild foxes... are not guilty according to the law. Release!"

As soon as this statement came out, the whole audience was shocked.

"Oh? This is strange!"

In the midst of the uproar, Commander Qiu's voice was clearly heard in everyone's ears: "Based on your behavior in the Songling County Yin Division and on the Xunjiang River, I thought you would advocate the execution of these two people." A wild fox."

Qi Jingzhi couldn't help but be startled again, but he didn't expect that such a small person like himself would receive such attention from the dignified Demon Suppressing Academy and Wuyun Commander.

"Is it because of my status as the captain of the academy? Or...that compliment from Duke Lu?"

The young lieutenant immediately shook his head at Commander Qiu: "The lower official just followed the instructions of the adults and made the decision in accordance with the law. This is indeed what the "Da Qi Law" stipulates."

"Everyone in the world has their own likes and dislikes, so everyone has their own opinions."

“The same law may give people completely different perceptions if the circumstances of the case are slightly different, and may even go against the customs and principles recognized by most people. However, as long as the law is not revised for a day, it must be abided by and followed. Otherwise, the law will not become the law and it will only cause more weak people to suffer.”

Qi Jingzhi paused briefly, seeing that Commander Jin Yamen was noncommittal, and then added: "The two things Commander Cai Qiu mentioned just now, the death of Hu Jing in Songling County was unjust, and it was the Jinyun envoy from Wuyun Division who was the first to do it. It goes without saying.”

"As for the servant of the Xunjiang Water God, he claimed that all the fish and shrimps in the river are his descendants. This point is not mentioned and will not be mentioned. However, at that time, his so-called descendants were not in danger of their lives, and the official had already revealed his identity as the Demon Suppressing Academy. , it tried to stop it, but it turned a deaf ear and still shot and seriously injured several people..."

"This kind of behavior is completely different from the wild fox's revolt against the hunter. It is not about obeying the authority in a matter of urgency, but blatantly flouting the national law and the Demon Suppressing Academy!"

"If I don't take action, wouldn't the majesty of Qi Demon Suppressing Academy be ruined?"

Hearing the young man's question, Commander Qiu, who had been silent for a long time, finally couldn't help laughing, breaking the somewhat silent and solemn atmosphere.

"I was originally wondering why Mr. Langya recruited a little Taoist to go to Gouchen Academy. I didn't expect that the little Taoism was true, and the little slick one was also real! But what you said is true. It is better to follow the law and follow the rules than not. If you don’t keep your word, you must be strong.”

"Haha, if you didn't mention this, I would have almost forgotten that Gouchen Academy blatantly poached people from our Demon Suppressing Academy. Even if they are just a small police officer, they have also broken the rules!"

The Jin Yamen commander suddenly looked at Wei Bao: "Your name is Wei Bao, right? You are the only child of the Jin Dao Wei family in Liaozhou?"

"I see that your mellow golden aura is really rare. Although you have a little bit of the Jiang surname Ding and Zheng, it is still fundamentally based on your own golden bloodline, and the golden bloodline is my own. Director Jin Yamen!"

"Let me ask you, are you interested in switching to my sect?"

Wei Bao was obviously a little surprised when he heard this, but without even thinking about it, he shook his head firmly: "Thanks to Commander Qiu for his respect, however, both Grand Sima and Colonel Qi have been very kind to the Wei family. They will never forget their humble positions in this life, let alone change their families. , I hope you will forgive me!"

Being so flatly rejected, the commander of Jinya placed the teacup in his hand heavily on the arrow pile on the city wall, then turned around and left without any hesitation.

Seeing that the other party left like this, Qi Jingzhi and others were very surprised. They looked at each other with questions in their eyes: "Did this pass the test or not? Did it offend or not offend?"

Several young military attachés who had no idea scratched their heads, and then all looked at the two wild foxes.

Qi Jingzhi thought for a moment and asked in a confused manner: "Does this vixen of yours have a name?"

Although the purple wild fox didn't understand what it meant, he didn't dare not answer: "My name is Zi Gu."

Qi Jingzhi nodded, and suddenly shouted: "Where is Li Shenxian? Get the arrow!"

"I am humble!"

At the sound of the words, I saw a cavalryman wearing green and black leather armor running out of the city gate. Holding a carved bow with the string half open, he shot a light and soft arrow towards the Caishikou.

Amidst the faint sound of arrows breaking through the wind, Qi Jingzhi easily took the four-edged black-feathered arrow in his hand and pressed the arrow against the vixen's throat, as if a disagreement would make her follow in the footsteps of the Orion.

"Zi Gu! Is there any lie in what you just said? Is there anything you're hiding?"

This trick was used by Qi Jingzhi on the Jin Ping boy, and it was quite effective during the polygraph interrogation.

The people a little further away couldn't see clearly, but the few people close by could see it clearly. The vixen Zigu suddenly seemed to have lost her soul, her eyes were hazy and her expression was dazed, and she replied intermittently: "Everything I said is true, absolutely." Nothing to hide.”

"Where did the human skulls that you and your wife used to practice illusion come from? Have you ever killed anyone for this?" Qi Jingzhi immediately asked.

The vixen Zigu still responded in a daze: "The human skulls were dug out from wild tombs in the mountains. Except for that hunter, my husband and I have never killed anyone."

Its sound is not loud, but it can still be heard clearly by many people, including Zen Master Zhenjue.

Qi Jingzhi nodded, put away the general's evil feather arrow, turned towards the old monk, and shouted loudly towards the onlookers further away: "According to the "Da Qi Law", robbing a tomb is an unpardonable crime! Among them! "Those who open coffins and coffins will be hanged like robbers; those who destroy corpses will be treated as murderers and beheaded!"

"Ge Shu Dashi, why don't you punish these two criminals who opened the coffin and destroyed the body?" The purple-bearded and blue-eyed Baiqi Commander was surprised, but he immediately agreed: "I accept my order in this humble position!"

Poor vixen Zigu had just come back to her senses. She only had time to let out a shrill scream before her head shot up into the sky filled with blood.

Once Geshu Dashi made a move, he was no longer merciless, and struck another blow with his backhand. The boy kneeling next to Zigu immediately lost his head, and also took on the original shape of the purple fox, slightly bigger than Zigu.

The white, tender and cute child's head rolled to the ground and turned into a wild fox head as it rolled. The human skull on the head made a crisp sound and shattered to pieces on the ground.

Seeing this scene, the whole place was silent.

Everyone in the audience thought that Qi Jingzhi, the Lieutenant of Gouchen Academy, cleared the two wild foxes of murder charges in just a few words in front of the commander of the Demon Suppressing Academy's Golden Yamen. He was a eloquent man. , has the ability to turn the world upside down and turn the sun and the moon upside down.

As for the two wild foxes, they unexpectedly met two noble men, Zhenjue Zen Master and Qi Xiaowei one after another. They were about to escape death and followed the old Zen Master to Fuya Temple to settle down. From then on, they were no longer the wandering spirits in the mountains. The thing is the wild fox of Zen Buddhism.

Unexpectedly, Lieutenant Qi just asked a few more words, and the good situation that had turned around and emerged from a desperate situation suddenly took a turn for the worse, turning into a dead end and a dead end, and the miserable couple had no choice but to die.

They did not die for murder, but were sentenced to beheading for digging graves and damaging corpses. However, the young captain judged the case based on the "Daqi Law" from beginning to end. No one could tell the slightest bit. wrong.

Although many people still secretly feel that monsters should not apply to the "Laws of Daqi", this human rule was chosen by the wild fox named Zi Gu.

It’s your own fault, no one else’s.

Since they dare to use human skulls to practice, they must be prepared to be killed by the human race.

Immediately, the eyes of some thoughtful people looking at the young captain changed: "Did this person act like this randomly, or did he have a premeditated plan? He wanted to kill two wild foxes or slap the senior monk of Fuya Temple in the face. ?”

In full view of everyone, Zen Master Zhenjue lowered his eyes, silently bowed to Qi Jingzhi, then turned around and drifted away, leaving behind a dizzying array of treasures and jade all over the ground.

Seeing this, Geshu Dashi and Wei Bao couldn't help but look at each other, with the same thought in their hearts: "This must have offended me, and it's not a light offense!"

That is to say, at this moment, Geshu Dashi didn't know about Zuo Yaoshi and Weisheng Qi, otherwise he would just think that the offending was not severe enough.

Qi Jingzhi looked at Zen Master Zhenjue's back and smiled dumbly: "This heart is so bright, what else can I say?"

Although sects such as Shengjiang Taoism and Buddhism can coexist, they are ultimately very different. Sometimes they even mean that the Taoism is different and they do not work together.

To be honest, Qi Jingzhi also has the reputation of Dao Sect Xianyu Mountain on his head, and he may be jealous and excluded because of this. After all, he is not as powerful as Lord Langya.

Even if the young man himself doesn't care about this, what he did today will definitely be regarded by interested people as a declaration of surrender, a declaration of willingness to respect Saint Jiang Taoism.

Such a certificate of submission may be more effective than the words of praise from Huntian Sizheng, especially for a captain who is a leader of the country and a pro-military officer.

This is at least half of the reason why Commander Jinya of the Demon-Suppressing Academy and Zen Master Zhenjue of Fuya Temple left so decisively.

Qi Jingzhi naturally thought of all these twists and turns, but he could no longer care about them at the moment.

The young man took out the Tiger Lord Jade Box from his arms and shouted to his brothers Shu Dashi and Wei Bao to come forward and pick up the treasures all over the ground. He did not think that this would damage the dignity of Tangtang Gou Chenyuan.

Seeing this, the Donghai Cavalry, which was only half the number when they entered the city, also gathered around to prevent anyone who wanted money or their lives from coming to rob them.

Dongguo Kunyu stood aside, looking at the old monk who was walking away, and then at the military attaché of Gouchenyuan who was picking up treasures. When he was feeling very interested, he suddenly saw Geshu Dashi staring at him with a pair of blue eyes, looking at him fiercely. Staring at himself, it was like waking up from a dream.

He trembled, hurriedly waved to the soldiers under his command, mounted his horse and ran away.

Seeing that the young masters of the Dongguo family had all run away, the people who were watching the excitement also dispersed in a hurry, otherwise there would be no room for reasoning if the ferocious men of Gouchen Court thought that they were being killed as thieves!

So, when Qi Jingzhi and the others finished their work, there were not many people in sight in the huge vegetable market.

The three young men squatted on the ground and couldn't help but smile at each other.

Wei Bao didn't stand up. He raised his arm and with one move, the golden chain was separated from several monster corpses. At the same time, it quickly retracted, shortened and became thinner. In the blink of an eye, it became a rather delicate golden rope, which fell on In the hands of Wei Wei, a golden sword that is no longer what it used to be.

Then he raised his hand and threw it, and the golden rope flew out and was wrapped around the head, face and neck of the golden cow. It looked like a gold cow chain.

Qi Jingzhi felt strange when he saw it, and he wanted to ask about the origin of the golden bull and the bull chain. Suddenly his expression changed, and a bright moon appeared behind his head, flying straight towards the huge body of the mountain monk.

The three of them turned their heads together and saw that the big black iron pot on the mountain monk's back was no longer bound by the golden rope, and when it was illuminated by the clear light of the bright moon, it suddenly grew eight furry pointed legs, like a big black spider. Usually, they move their pointed legs hastily and want to run away.

It's a pity that it escaped quickly, and Xuanjian of Heaven and Earth flew even faster. Without any explanation, he hooded his head and easily ate up the eight-legged black iron pot.

Geshu Dashi and Wei Bao were stunned for a moment. They never expected that this pot was also a monster, but they had not noticed it at all before.

After a brief silence, Geshu Dashi was the first to speak: "Haojiao Xiaowei knows that after we parted ways in Jiuzhen Baiyun Palace that night, the two of us, following the emperor's order, recruited one person each from the Anfenghou Mansion and the Junjun Dutong Mansion. Hundreds of elite soldiers will send the marquis to the royal capital."

"On this road, thieves cut the path, assassins attacked at night, demons blocked the road, and I don't know how many kinds of open and secret arrows were seen. Even among the two hundred guards, there were some who shot cold arrows, set fires, and poisoned them. Some of them were ordered by others. There are some who died purely to avenge their families... plus those who died heroically in the line of duty, in short, more than half of the 200 people died."

Geshu Dashi paused and pointed at the dozens of soldiers gathered around him: "Anyone who can follow the royal capital alive is a loyal and brave warrior who can be used! Except for those brothers who serve the Marquis wholeheartedly, the rest It’s all here.”

"Hehe, these rough guys think they are powerful and are accustomed to life and death. They have always been unruly. But they just saw with their own eyes the way the captain turned his hands into clouds and rain. Now they must be very convinced!"

Hearing this, Qi Jingzhi raised his buttocks and turned around to look around. All he saw were pairs of awe-inspiring and eager eyes.

He immediately nodded with a smile: "Our Gouchen Academy needs such a good man to make great achievements!"

After saying that, the young captain looked at Wei Bao again: "Tell me, what happened to your cow?"
