Chapter 45 The Night Trial

Hearing these words, Shen Ruhai's body flickered, and his spirit weakened visibly to the naked eye.

Lanji County alone has lost so many virtues, and the rest are self-evident.From county to county, the more powerful the authority, the more crimes will be committed.

"My lord, don't read any further!"

Shen Ruhai smiled self-deprecatingly, and sighed: "In the past when trying cases, Shen always stood in the hall and allowed his subordinates to argue hoarsely and show their ugliness, just sneering in his heart. Now that we are in another place, it is my turn to kneel." Down below, it's really ridiculous that I still have a little bit of luck in my heart!"

As he said that, he seemed to want to keep the last bit of decency, and he tried his best to straighten his back, but he couldn't hide the look of despair on his face: "When you are under the eaves, you should bow your head. Shen has nothing to say. It's easy to say, I will admit to all the charges, and the Elder Master will punish them according to the law!"

As Shen Ruhai's words fell, the light of the blood shadows behind him suddenly brightened a little, and it was more ferocious than before.

Qi Jingzhi saw it in his eyes, and knew that this person did not sincerely confess his sins, but the karma on his body had penetrated deeper into the spirituality, and it would be even more difficult to eradicate.

"No wonder Master Meng said that the law of the underworld doesn't care about deeds. That's the reason. The first case tonight was a mess!"

Thinking of this, Qi Jingzhi felt uneasy, and immediately bowed to the old city god: "Meng Lang, my junior, opened his mouth and self-defeating, causing trouble to my lord!"

Old Chenghuang Yu slowly shook his head: "You just put yourself in the shoes of others, put yourself in the shoes of others, and said a few words of justice. Such a heart is rare in the world, so what's wrong with it? Like Shen, who kills people without blood, is used to storms, A cunning and sophisticated person who has no respect for Heaven and the human heart, it is an anecdote that he would sincerely confess his guilt."

As he spoke, he reached out and took a token and threw it on the ground, and said in a flat tone: "Since you are so stubborn, quickly drag me out of the hall with a staff of eighty, and throw you into hell. Ghosts gnaw! The evil karma on my body will not be exhausted for a day, and I will not be freed for a day!"

As soon as the penalty was issued, the hall was full of awe.

Shen Ruhai was even more stunned, he never expected that he would be subjected to such a severe punishment even though he had given in.

It wasn't until the chains on his body fell off without a sound, and he was held up by the water and fire rod again, that he finally woke up like a dream, and let out a mournful wail: "My lord, please be kind, the villain knows my mistake! I know my mistake!"

In just these two sentences, Shen Ruhai's feet were already off the ground, and he was completely suspended in the air. He was about to be dragged out of the door. Several blood shadows were like tarsal maggots, clinging to his body tightly. calves.

Shen Ruhai struggled in vain for a few times, then suddenly turned his head to look at Master Meng, and shouted in a hasty tone: "Master Meng, when I returned to my hometown last year, you and I met once, because of my grandson's enlightenment, I also offer you a glass of wine! I beg you to turn things around in front of the Elder Master, Shen will never dare to be ungrateful, never dare to be ungrateful!"

Seeing this, Meng Fuzi couldn't help but sneered: "Shen Ruhai, you are also an old case, have you ever seen the defendant openly flirting with the judge in the lobby? You say such stupid things in public, don't tell me Never favoritism, even if you really want to help you, I'm afraid there is nothing you can do!"

Hearing this, Shen Ruhai felt as if struck by lightning, and was even more distraught than when he suddenly heard the punishment just now.

"It turns out that there is such a feeling of resentment when someone slaughters you but has no way to ask for help! No wonder those people can't swallow this breath after they die, and they want to sue me in front of the city god. Shen is indeed not wronged when he falls into the current situation!"

As soon as these words came out, several blood shadows trembled at the same time, and the glaring blood light became dimmer to the naked eye.

Many ghosts and gods immediately showed joyful expressions, exchanged glances with each other, and all of them were silent in tacit understanding.

In the hall, only Shen Ruhai himself did not notice this change.

He has completely given up struggling, hanging on the water and fire stick like a dead object, looking at the roof with despair on his face, and said with a sad smile: "When I was alive, I judged people, and I looked down on those poor wretches who were crying and kowtow like garlic. People interrogated me, only to find out that I am also the same thing, it is really ridiculous!"

After all, he really burst out laughing, even if he was dragged out of the hall by the messenger, even if the sound of sticks hitting the human body came from outside the hall, the lunatic laughter was still high-pitched and endless.

Master Meng looked at his immediate superior, smiled wryly and said, "This subordinate is still in the genitals, but my lord forbids me to wear a ghost mask when interrogating cases. I'm afraid it's unavoidable to openly seek friendship with me like just now."

"Huh! Wearing a ghost mask on your body, is it because you think you didn't die fast enough? What's more, ghost masks can deceive people, but they can't deceive hearts!"

Old Chenghuang Yu stared, and said seriously: "Meng Hui, if you can't even pass this test, what kind of ghosts and gods are you? One counts as one, and after decades, they will line up to enter Huangquan!"

"It's inevitable that some of them are incompetent, and they will come to this hall for a while. This is true for disciples, blood, flesh and blood, and beloved relatives and friends. How will you deal with yourself at that time? Do you really think that you can get rid of it once and for all? "

These words were so serious that Master Meng quickly stood up and said respectfully: "My lord has taught me a lesson, my subordinates have been taught!"

Although Old Chenghuang reprimanded his subordinates a few words, he was not in a bad mood.

Seeing Master Meng's sincerity, he immediately nodded his head slightly, and said in a leisurely tone, "Some people, such as this Shen, are lucky enough to have a little authority and can manipulate others, so they become pretentious and look down on this or that. Only when I was trampled on the ground by someone, did I realize that I was nothing but a joke!"

As he said that, he turned his head to look at the young man beside him again, and said with a smile: "Again, not knowing when things are imminent, and not looking back until you bump into the south wall are all due to human nature. Including this old man, there is no one in this world How many people can be exempt from common customs. Standing in the world, we must always introspect, otherwise how would we know that we are not just another sinking like the sea?"

Hearing this, Qi Jingzhi's heart skipped a beat.

He is just a young man who just had an adventure, and his knowledge is still limited. Just now, he watched the trial of the City God with his own eyes, and he felt that the evidence presented was exhaustive and the punishment was harsh, which was a hundred times more than that in the human world. "Trick", what is meant by "there is a god when you raise your head three feet".

After hearing this, Qi Jingzhi was naturally greatly shocked, he was just trying to bear with himself from the beginning to the end, trying not to show his emotions on his face, but in fact, countless thoughts had already passed through his mind.

"The power of the gods is so powerful. Fortunately, I once said to Master Meng that the ghosts and ghosts should not do it. Now that I think about it, it is really shameless."

"When I was outside the palace, I also made a lot of bold words. The third-rank court official and earl in front of me are very appreciative. It's hard to guarantee that I won't laugh at my youth and ignorance in my heart, and just say stupid things that don't know the heights of the world."

"He made this comment just now. He obviously wanted to take the opportunity to beat Meng Fuzi and other ghosts and gods under his seat, but he just wanted to watch me speak. It can be seen that he also meant to persuade me. I should indeed be more vigilant, and there must be no Get carried away with a little bit of skill, and live like a joke in the eyes of others!"

Qi Jingzhi was just a teenager, with a quick and clear mind, knowing that it was out of good intentions that Old City God Yu could say these words to him.

While he was grateful, a sense of injustice rose uncontrollably in his chest, and a thought surged in his heart.

"Although the old man's words are good words, they have no vigor, and even underestimated my determination. The so-called sincerity, courage and diligence, as long as you follow the right path, even if you encounter a south wall, you will be able to break it head-on." Yes, why go back?"

"He said that it is difficult to ascend to the sky in order to be truly free and unrestrained, and I respectfully want to ascend to this sky! Although I don't do evil, I can't allow my life and death to be in the hands of others, even ghosts and gods!"
