God Catch starts with adding points

Chapter 4 Judge

The silver disappeared?

Lu Bai kept reverberating this idea during the luncheon.

Inside the palace, under the watchful eye of the guards, the seal of the silver box was not lifted, and the silver disappeared.

This is interesting.

Thinking of how he entered the palace yesterday and was stopped by the old eunuch before reaching the harem, how did the money disappear.

Lu Bai was wondering if it might be self-stealing.

But so much money, almost a silver in the inner treasury, where did the money hide after the guards stole it?

Once the silver is stolen, the emperor must look for it in the whole palace, so much silver cannot be hidden.

Lu Bai thought of another problem, the theft of this impression happened on the same night as the fire in Qingxin Hall, there would be no connection between the two, for example, taking advantage of the panic caused by the fire to steal the silver.

just

How did the silver disappear?

Lu Bai couldn't figure it out, so that the good imperial meal didn't taste very good.

After the meal, Lu Bai originally planned to look for clues about the baby, but changed his mind temporarily, and went back to the ruins of the Qingxin Palace. If the fire last night had something to do with the silver robbery case, maybe he could find some clues .

However, the only anomaly Lu Bai found was the pillar whose upper half was completely burned and the lower half was empty, and the anomaly in the open space under the pillar that Lu Bai discovered, but this had nothing to do with the fire, so Lu Bai didn't take it to heart for the first time , and now keep an eye on it.

Standing on the ruins, Lu Bai abruptly asked the little eunuch who was serving beside him, "Where is the internal treasury?"

The little eunuch pointed to the northwest, "in the northwest corner of the harem."

It used to be a cold palace, but was later changed to the inner treasury by the emperor, and a wall was built to separate the inner palace from the inner treasury, and then many guards were stationed there to protect the emperor's silver.

Lu Bai nodded clearly.

He looked in the direction of the inner library, and then at the ruins under his feet, thinking deeply.

Gu Qinghuan came over quickly.

She wanted to go back and asked Lu Bai if he wanted to go back. Lu Bai saw that the time was not short, so he also withdrew, and drove home with Gu Qinghuan at the gate of the palace.

When in the car, Lu Vernacular didn't talk much, but kept thinking.

Leaving aside the theft of the internal treasury for the time being, just talking about the fire in the Qingxin Hall, Lu Bai had an undecided idea in his mind.

"This fire seems to have happened out of thin air." Lu Bai said.

There are guards on the outside, and because of the frequent water leakage inside, all the flammable things inside have been cleaned, and there is no source of fire and no chance of arson.The current ruins also prove that there is no trace of fire at all.

Gu Qinghuan reminded Lu Bai, "You forgot your speculation last night, this fire is probably a will-o'-the-wisp."

Lu Bai nodded, "Yesterday it was just a random guess, but today I really think it's almost a ghost."

Gu Qinghuan also saw the same way, which strengthened Lu Bai's opinion.

He made up his mind, and when he got back, he would summon a city god with a rattle, and then try to find out the ghosts in the palace.

Since Lu Bai arrived in the capital, he rarely used rattles.

It's not that I don't want to use it, but I dare not use it.

This is the base camp of Peach Blossom Temple. Lu Bai felt that Peach Blossom Temple neglected the management of the city gods elsewhere, and probably would not care about the city gods in the capital.

It's not that he's afraid of offending Taohuaguan, he's afraid that his previous plan will go to waste.

In terms of catching ghosts, Taohuaguan is a professional, while Lu Bai relies purely on appearance. He is about to fight for the ghost territory, and Lu Bai is not necessarily Taohuaguan's opponent.

But it's different now.

Lu Bai now has an aboveboard reason to summon the City God.

Although the Peach Blossom Temple is now in decline, at least in name it is still the state religion of the Southern Dynasties. It is reasonable for Lu Bai to call their city gods to investigate the case for the emperor, even the Peach Blossom Temple owner can't say anything more.

However, before going back to do these things, Lu Bai still has one thing to do in the car.It's not that he's being rude to Lu Qinghuan, in fact he's been being rude since he got in the car, what he wants to do is to draw a lottery.

Although the emperor personally admitted the demon case, Lu Bai actually found out the truth

The emperor is Liu Yan's grandson.

Although the truth was obvious and not very important to the case, it was broken anyway, so Lu Bai had a chance to draw a lottery, and he used it without hesitation.

The turntable stopped quickly.

To be honest, Lu Bai didn't have much chance for this lottery draw. The reason is self-evident. This case is very well solved. If the mastermind behind the scenes and the death of Liu Cuilian are found out, maybe a big one can be drawn.

However, Zhuan Pan told Lu Bai with the facts that as long as he had anything to do with the emperor, no case would be trivial.

He gets a mask.

This mask is a ghost mask, it looks eerie, but Lu Bai likes it very much, because it is not an ordinary mask, but a "judge" mask.

As mentioned above, as long as Lu Bai puts on this mask, he will cover up his anger and turn into a ghost judge.

Lu Bai knows that the ghost judge is an official of the underworld, and is mainly responsible for judging cases.

"The status of this judge should be higher than that of the night wandering god, right?" Lu Bai felt that this was really sleepy, so he came to the pillow. He was just about to become the city god today, and the panel gave him a big gift.

Thanks to the inhumanity of this panel, if it were a person, he would definitely have a mistress now.

The car was walking slowly on the street.

The old woman was still kneeling in front of the Tiandi Temple, her clothes were all wet, and her body was trembling unceasingly, but she still insisted on kneeling there, ignoring those who advised her to leave and take a rest.

Lu Bai stopped the carriage.

He asked his disciples to go to a nearby restaurant to buy a bowl of mixed spicy soup for the old lady to warm up.

The disciple did as he said, and when he served it to the old woman, the old woman didn't even raise her head, and the passers-by watching said, "She doesn't eat, this old lady is too stubborn."

But after the disciple reported to the house, he pointed to the carriage not far away, "Professor Lu asked you to drink."

The old woman looked through the rain curtain, and after seeing Lu Bai who opened the curtain to look at her, she took the spicy soup and drank it in one gulp, while the disciple smiled and went back to drive the car.

The carriage quickly disappeared from the old woman's sight.

Back at the wine house, Lu Bai asked his hands to arrange some things before he went to eat, and then served Gu Qinghuan indecently to sleep. This time, it was Gu Qinghuan who was indecent, sitting on it like a small motor.

Lu Bai waited for Gu Qinghuan to fall asleep, got up with his clothes on, and walked to the field arranged by his disciples.

There are two grounds, one is normal ground, and the other is floating soil after the pit is completed. Now the water on the normal ground is flowing freely, and the surface is smooth and bright; while the surface of floating soil is dark and dark, and the water is immersed in it. went below.

Lu Bai nodded, told his disciples to rest, then put on the mask, and rang the rattle at hand.

Boom boom boom!

The muddy tone of the rattle drum sounded quickly, and the sound did not travel far, and soon disappeared in the drizzle.

Then, black smoke flashed in the misty rain, and a figure appeared in front of Lu Bai.

This is a middle-aged man.

He was wearing a silk shirt, his face was full of oil, and his belly was fat, and he had to hold his belly with his hands from time to time, otherwise he would fall off.

He had a funny smile, and there was a cunning in the funny.

He circled around in place a few times, and before he saw Lu Bai, he cupped his hands: "The little city god has seen it before."

Then, the city god was stunned, and after a long time, he saluted with doubts on his face: "I have seen Mr. Judge."

"En." Lu Bai nodded coldly.

As a judge, he is one level older than Ye Youshen, and being too enthusiastic about his subordinates will make people suspicious.However, Lu Bai murmured in his heart, what kind of judge did this ghost mask make him into? Why did the city god recognize it immediately when he saw it?

Before Lu Bai could figure it out, the greasy City God took a step forward and flatteringly said to Lu Bai: "My lord, you haven't been up there for a while, what kind of wind brought you here?"

Lu Bai keenly grasped the meaning of these words.

In other words, in the official ranks of the underworld, the judge stays at the bottom, and will not come up if it is not important.

Lu Bai's mind was full of thoughts, and his speech was not slow, "An evil wind blew me up!"

Lu Bai's tone was full of anger and majesty.

The City God was terrified, "Where do you start with this, please let me know, Lord Judge."

After finishing speaking, he quietly took out a stack of things from his sleeve, and stuffed them into Lu Bai's hands. Lu Bai squinted and saw that they were some ghost coins, but they were not the ghost coins that were usually burned. I don't know what material they were made of. of.

There is also the words "Yan Wang Tong Bao" on this copper coin.

Lu Bai was stunned, good guy, it seems that not only the world, but also a big society here.

He knew that the city god dared to give money since he knew the judge, which meant that the judge was not a good bird, so Lu Bai put it away in his sleeve.

A hint of doubt flashed across Chenghuang's eyes again, Lu Bai guessed that he was wondering why Lu Bai was so unskilled in collecting money.

"Ahem." Lu Bai cleared his throat, "What happened to the palace last night?"

Chenghuang was stunned for a moment, and a trace of panic flashed across his face. He hurriedly lowered his head and replied: "My lord, there was a fire in the palace yesterday, but the emperor, queen mother and empress are all safe and sound, only a few court ladies and eunuchs died, nothing happened. Big mess."

When he said this, he raised his face and carefully checked the expression on the judge's face.

"Really?" Lu Bai's tone became gloomy and cold again, "Then why the dragon's aura is declining, implying that the lamp of destiny in the Southern Dynasty is dimming. It seems that there is a change that is not within destiny. The great trend of changing the fate of the country has happened?"

"This incident alarmed Lord Yan Wang, and because of the seriousness of the incident, Lord Yan Wang ordered me to come up and investigate this matter thoroughly." Lu Bai said.

"This"

Chenghuang panicked, his sly eyes rolled around, "Indeed, it's really just a simple walk."

"Really?" Lu Bai's tone was cold.

He felt that the City God must know something.

Lu Bai looked in the direction of the imperial city with his hands behind his back, "What started this fire?"

The City God replied without confidence: "My lord, the Qingxin Hall caught fire not once or twice. There was a big fire last year, and this time it is also reasonable. There is nothing to investigate."

"In common sense?" Lu Bai turned to look at him, "It's in common sense."

He said coldly: "It's been a long time since the judge came up here, I didn't expect it to become this mess."

As Lu Bai said, he pulled out a knife with his left hand, a wooden knife without a blade, and swung it at the unprepared Chenghuang.

"Ah yo!"

Cheng Huang cried out in pain, and even rolled on the ground in pain, instantly painful bean-sized beads of sweat came out of his forehead.

Lu Bai glanced at the bladeless knife in his hand and was surprised.

The introduction of this bladeless knife on the panel is that hitting people doesn't hurt. Lu Bai once thought, this adult doesn't hurt, but does it hurt to hit things that are not human?It has been around for a long time, but it has not been verified, and today I know that I guessed it right.

He sneered, and pulled out a flower with a bladeless knife in his hand, "Have you figured it out? Tell me if you think it through. I don't believe it's common sense that the Qingxin Temple is constantly on fire. There must be something setting fire to catch fire."

"Yes Yes."

Chenghuang curled up on the ground, and slowly got up after a long time, sweating all over his body, as if he was exhausted.

He replied: "Qing, because of a palace change in Qingxin Palace more than 20 years ago, many palace maids died, many of them were burned to death. They had a lot of resentment. In the Hall of Pure Heart."

He gasped, covering the place where Lu Bai's knife hit just now, and at the same time looked at the bladeless knife in Lu Bai's hand with lingering fear, "These ghosts will set a fire every now and then, this, this time the fire is set by them. of."

Lu Bai frowned, and said slowly: "It's reasonable for them to prevent the fire, and it's not the first fire. Why did this fire cause such a big change?"

He fixed his eyes and looked at the City God, "So much so that the fate of the Southern Dynasty has to be changed?"

Chenghuang hastily waved his hands, "I don't know, I really don't know, Your Honor, I really don't know."

Lu Bai chuckled, "If you don't know, you can just tell the truth about what they set on fire. Why cover it up for them?"

He waved the bladeless knife in his hand, and Chenghuang trembled in fright.

"Since you don't tell me, then I'll check it out, but if I find out, then it's not just a matter of having some money and letting the ghosts grind it down, then you have to be prepared to lose your soul." Lu Bai flicked his fingers Flicking the bladeless knife in his hand, "Trust me, he can do it."

With a wave of his hand, he let Cheng Huang go.

Chenghuang is now full of horror, seeing the edgeless knife in Lu Bai's hand when he waved his hand, his psychological defense immediately collapsed, and he hurriedly said: "I'll do it, I'll do it all, it's the Peach Blossom Temple, the Lord Peach Blossom told me to find those ghosts, Let them set the fire yesterday."

Lu Bai frowned, "Peach Blossom Temple Master asked them to set fire?"

He didn't understand, "Why?"

Chenghuang shook his head heartily this time, "My lord, I really don't know about this, I just charge money to do things, and they didn't tell me, oh, by the way, he asked me to find the two fires from last year and the year before last." Those ghosts burned it."

If he hadn't found those ghosts, those ghosts wouldn't have burned the heart hall so regularly.
