The two of them went downstairs, and Cedric walked up to the shopkeeper and said, "I want the servant's contract from just now."

The shopkeeper was stunned for a second, and did not say such nonsense that he wanted to report it to his boss. He took out a deed of sale with an official seal from the cabinet at the back and presented it with both hands.

After Cedric left a piece of silver, he took Wang Gui to Xianyang Mansion.

The government office is adjacent to the City God's Temple. In a huge city like Xianyang today, there are certainly no shortage of daily cases, but vicious street killings still rank first.

A seventh-grade criminal law magistrate came to the court. The servants on both sides stamped their killing sticks, and the waiters shivered. Even if the spring sun shone, the color of his body was drained and his lips were blue and white.

The criminal law magistrate looked at the corpses and the waiter in the hall. The yamen officer had just told him what happened. He was originally killed to pay for his life, but the waiter had a reason for the incident. According to the law, he should be sentenced to exile in the army.

However, the person he killed has some opinions.

Although Scarface is a villain, he dares to traffic in people and trap pickpockets in an important city like Xianyang. Of course, he has some connections behind him. He belongs to the Hungry Wolf Gang, and this Hungry Wolf Gang is a bastard of the Duke of Gui. Now that people have come to the door, I can only think that this waiter is unlucky.

The magistrate's eyes lingered on an old servant of the Duke of Gui for a while, and he said,

"Who is in the hall?"

Xiao Zhanqiu said tremblingly, "Li Chunfu, a common man."

"You committed a murder on the street, can you plead guilty?"

"Please be aware that the other party took out the knife first. Xiaomin had no choice but to accidentally kill him."

"A man must be killed to pay for his life. This is a matter of course. Why do you need to quibble?" The old servant's tone was sharp.

"Since you're killing people, let's make a pledge."

The magistrate looked businesslike, and the recording officer who had sorted out the documents handed the documents and cinnabar ink paste to the waiter.

The waiter couldn't read all the words, but he also understood that he was probably doomed. He looked at the magistrate above the hall with a pale face, "Sir, the common people are being treated unfairly."

The magistrate's expression was indifferent, like a sculpture in a temple of gods and Buddhas. He looked at everything in the hall indifferently, "Don't mention it too much. You are asking for trouble. If you are punished, you will no longer be unjust."

Wang Gui looked at the scene in front of him, clenching his hands and almost gritting his teeth.

Cedric led Wang Guiyi out of the crowd. The surrounding government officials saw that Cedric was wearing a Taoist robe with a purple gourd on his waist, followed by a ragged young man, and they did not dare to stop him at will.

The great fortune that the Tang Dynasty enjoys so far is all due to the luck of the two saints, immortals and Buddhas. Therefore, monks and Taoists have a transcendent status in the Tang Dynasty. When the magistrate saw Cedric coming out of the crowd, countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and finally he said, " Dare I ask where the leader comes from?"

Cedric raised the bond of sale in his hand and said, "My servant accidentally killed someone, so I'm here to apologize."

The government servant on the side carefully took the deed of betrayal and handed it to the magistrate. After the magistrate saw the document, he was a little embarrassed for a while. He said he was apologizing for it, but he appeared like this, but in fact he was supportive, "Dare you ask where you are from?"

Cedric shook his head, "The mountain Taoist priest has not registered his place of birth yet."

At this time, a richly dressed young man came out of the back hall and said with a sneer, "How dare a wild Taoist priest interfere in the court?"

Cedric shook his head and said, "I don't dare, but according to Tang law, although my slave kills people, his crime is not worthy of death, so please keep him alive."

The richly dressed young man looked at Cedric and suddenly said with a smile, "You look at the jade gourd on your waist. It looks very nice. Since your servant killed my servant, why don't you give me this jade gourd?" , how about writing it off?"

Cedric laughed and said, "It should be like this, but there are laws in the Tang Dynasty, and I dare not violate them. According to the laws, I, a slave, should be exiled to the army. Please be clear to me."

When the magistrate saw that Cedric was a sensible Taoist priest, he exhaled and looked at the clerk. The clerk immediately drafted a new judgment and handed it to the waiter Li Chunfu.

Li Chunfu saw that he had escaped the death penalty, and it was Cedric, a noble man, who came to save him. He did not dare to say anything. After being held in custody, he walked up to Cedric and said, "Thank you for saving me. If I am lucky enough to survive, I will definitely die." Will be a cow or a horse.”

Cedric waved his hand, "It's not about immortality, but when your opportunity comes, I will give you one."

As he spoke, Cedric swung his sleeves, and a golden hook and iron painting of the word "trap" was imprinted on the waiter's forehead, as if it was born naturally.

Although Cedric didn't show any extraordinary magical powers, it was already extraordinary to be able to cast spells at will in this courtroom.

The two factions of the magistrates and officials were fighting, and this time they provoked real people.

The rich young man was also stunned. However, since he was born in the palace, he had seen the magic of the immortal family. Cedric's move did not scare him, but he became more and more greedy. The jade gourd on this kind of person must be a rare thing. , it happened that my father was celebrating his fiftieth birthday, so presenting such an item would definitely gain more favor.

"Bring the things." The wealthy young man extended his hand to Cedric.

The old servant behind him already felt that something was going wrong, but he did not dare to say anything due to his master's usual power.

Cedric showed a happy expression, not like giving away a treasure, but like receiving a treasure. He smiled and took off the jade gourd from his waist, "Why worry, this is your opportunity, I can't stop you even if I want to. "

After giving the purple gourd to the rich young master, Cedric took Wang Guiyi and left quickly without looking back, as if he was really afraid of the majesty of the palace.

The gourd is like warm jade. The rich man is full of joy. He will definitely offer the treasure tonight.

In Lihentian's Doushe Palace, Lao Jun opened his eyes slightly and said with a smile, "There is still half a gourd of golden elixir, are you willing to give it up? It is really against your will. Even if I follow the natural way, there is nothing you can do about it. "

Wang Gui was filled with joy as soon as he saw Cedric come out of the Yamen, but he took him back to the small courtyard with some urgency. He took the two brothers who had recovered from the fever and headed straight out of Xianyang City towards Luoyang, the sacred capital.

Walking to the river, Cedric picked a piece of reed and threw it into the Yellow River. Amidst the rolling waves, it turned into a large ship with carved railings and jade, which was extremely beautiful.

After getting on the boat, Cedric and Wang Guiyi stood at the bow of the boat. He turned to Wang Guiyi and said, "Do you think I am timid and fearful of the royal family's powerful people?"

Wang Guiyi shook his head, "If I were an ordinary person, of course I would think so."

Then he stamped his feet, feeling the real ship, "Teacher's magical power is beyond my imagination. What the teacher does is naturally far beyond ordinary people."

Cedric sighed, "Although he is far beyond ordinary people, he is still in the game."

Wang Guiyi looked at Cedric in confusion.

Cedric smiled and explained, "If I said that I had just been toyed with and applauded like Scarface and Waiter, would you believe it?"

Wang Guiyi's first reaction was disbelief, and the second was that the teacher would not lie to him. Adding the two together, cold sweat broke out on his back, his clothes were wet, and he said in a dry voice, "Then I am also in the game. Hit?"

Cedric patted Wang Guiyi on the shoulder, "Smart, but this game is too big. It's useless to tell you now, but you have to remember that even if you are in the game, there may not be no chance of getting out."

"A chance to escape?"

"On the contrary, the Tao moves, the weak uses the Tao, and the strong and the weak change places. Who can tell whether the chess player will become a chess piece, and whether the chess piece will become a chess player? This is for you as a teacher. Second lesson.”
