Big ghosts and little ghosts sit in a row

Shi Wuchang was wearing his signature smile, and the lantern in his hand was surrounded by turquoise fireflies. The prime minister was about to question him, but the young man first bowed to Shi Wuchang: "Master, you are finally here."

Only then did the prime minister calm down: "This is the master Liao Liao said can break yin and yang?"

Shi Wuchang bowed to the prime minister with a light smile, and said with a smile: "I'm just a charlatan, today I'm bringing a girl to court to avenge my grievances, and I want the prime minister to make decisions for her."

"It's okay." The prime minister glanced at the woman in red behind Shi Wuchang. The woman's clothes were torn and her hair was disheveled, so she couldn't see her face clearly. "I wonder if this girl is..."

When Shi Wuchang walked away from the woman, the county master immediately screamed when he saw the woman's appearance, and hid under the desk, not daring to look.

Seeing the reaction of the magistrate, the prime minister looked at the woman carefully again, only to find that there was a hole in the woman's abdomen that was bleeding out.

Only to hear the woman kneeling on the ground, a strange voice came out: "The little lady's name is Tian Honghua, and she is from Yaoqing Village."

"Lady!" Chen Dahu, who had been hiding on the beam to examine everything, jumped down from the beam, reaching out to hug the woman, the paper cranes in his package suddenly turned into a string, blocking Chen Dahu to the side.

Chen Dahu is actually a snitch who wandered around the world for a long time, always stealing from the rich and giving to the poor. Later, he fell in love with Tian Honghua, the 30-year-old daughter of Tian Laohan. She is a 30-year-old widow and already has a son.But Chen Dahu, who felt love for the first time, washed his hands in the golden basin for the woman he liked, stopped stealing, and finally fell in love with Tian Honghua.

Honestly followed the old man Tian to the street to do shift work, became an ordinary villager, and later married into their family as a door-to-door son-in-law. Even though there was a dispute about marrying a widow, he still lived happily, and his stepson did not quarrel. People are harmonious and beautiful.

Xu Wangcai, who lived next door, had helped their family a lot when they were poor. After getting along with him, he found that he was also a Lianjiazi. After some gestures, he saw that the two had many similar values, so he became a brother with this person. , Xu Wangcai's stepmother, Tong Shi, became a godmother and held a wedding banquet on the same day. Unexpectedly, so many things happened to such an ordinary and happy family.

Last night he didn't make a watch, but went to the county government office to steal all the money that the county government had taken from the people, and then went to the prime minister's office to check whether the hundred people's book he released the night before had been seen by the prime minister.

Seeing that the prime minister was about to open a third trial against Xu Wangcai, he could only hold a little hope that the prime minister would give their family justice.

He originally thought that if the prime minister could not restore his brother's innocence and his family's justice, he and the county magistrate would die together, and let the paper money in this package be sprinkled all over the county office to see off those who died tragically. Thinking of actually seeing his own daughter-in-law.

At this moment, the entire lobby was invaded by mist, and the villagers outside the door disappeared, replaced by countless ghosts, and standing on both sides of the county office were no longer those officials, but two rows of wild ghosts, sitting in front of them. Lots of brats.They all stared at the crowd in the lobby.

The magistrate was terrified, shivering under the desk, trembling.

The vengeance drum outside the yamen was beaten by a few brats, and with the sound of a gong, another person walked in from outside the yamen.

Lu Ban and Xiaotong walked into the lobby together, and Xiaotong knelt down in the middle of the lobby, and said, "The little one is called Xiaotong, I have a grievance to appeal, I beg the adults to decide."

How could the magistrate care about these things? When he saw the dead boy in the hall, he was so frightened that he hugged his head and curled up.

The ghosts on both sides were clamoring, like watching a show.

"Let's talk, let's talk, if there is a grievance, just say it."

"Master Qingtian will avenge you~"

"Gaotang Mingjing!"

"Wearing a black gauze hat, you are the official of your parents, and you must never harm the common people."

They were talking one by one, and suddenly there was a gavel.

Lu Ban stood by the table and patted the gavel, and placed three little paper figures on the table, and then he asked the boy kneeling below: "The person kneeling below, what is your injustice? Sue whom?"

Tian Honghua said: "The little woman, Tian Honghua, sued the county magistrate to bully others and rob people's daughters, and sent his subordinates to kill the little woman and her unborn child, her mother, and the little woman's eldest son and his caravan. "

Xiaotong also began to say: "Young one sued the county master, colluded with human traffickers, robbed civilian girls and sold them, forced them into prostitution, and killed people wantonly if they didn't comply. It's really devoid of conscience."

The boy's memory recalled their conversation in the country cemetery.

"It's only been less than a day, have you gained his trust? You obviously hurt him, and his whole family..."

Xiao Tong heard what Shi Wuchang said very clearly, and quickly understood, the hand holding Lu Ban's sleeve trembled slightly, and looked at Lu Ban in disbelief.

Lu Ban's expression was very calm, and he said: "Why mention the things of the previous life in this life, but after this ninth life, he can spend it with me."

Shi Wuchang thought for a while, and then said: "The ninth life is not long, but the temper is impatient. I have endured it for eight lifetimes. Why worry about the last life?"

"In order for him to get rid of cause and effect, he will follow me without attachment."

The little boy couldn't understand what they said again, and looked at them in a daze as they spoke one after another.

"But are you sure this is correct? In the painting, the fairy is the mother, and the lotus picker is the father. This body has a demonic nature, and the tricks are unknown. The birth restrains his father and changes the life of his relatives. Do you think such an arrangement will make him happy? ?"

Lu Ban cast down his eyes in thought, looked at the little boy, then knelt down, held the little boy's face in his hands, and asked softly, "Tong, have you lived happily in this life?"

The little boy hesitated for a while, and then showed a childish smile: "Happy."

This answer shocked both Lu Ban and Shi Wuchang.

Xiaotong said happily: "I have the best father and mother, and I also met Xiao Huadie. Even if I was kidnapped, I can still meet the county magistrate to buy me back. It's a very happy thing."

Lu Ban frowned, and his face was full of worry: "I'm sorry, I thought that such a family would allow you to live a good life, but it just made you fall into the trap of a villain..."

"Bad people?" The little boy tilted his head in doubt, "Do you mean human traffickers?"

Xiaotong has lived so far, and there is really no one who hates him. If he has to say it, he should be the trafficker who sold him and his mother.

Lu Ban patted the boy's head: "Don't worry, none of those who bully you will be able to escape, and they will all be punished. Today is the death date of the magistrate."

"Master County? Why? Is he going to die?" The little boy was startled and asked Lu Ban hurriedly.

Just as Lu Ban was about to speak, Shi Wuchang beside him spoke first: "Originally, the cold food festival was the death date of the magistrate, but because someone disturbed the order, your little brother continued his life."

"What do you mean?" The little boy couldn't understand what he said at all.

Lu Ban explained: "The county magistrate has done a lot of evil, and he should have lived his life in the cold food festival yesterday, but because of me, you failed to die, so you gave the county magistrate an extra day of life."

The little boy was stunned when he heard that.

Shi Wuchang also continued: "Originally, in this life, you lived to be nine years old on Ching Ming Festival, but this is a day earlier."

"I didn't notice you on the corridor at the time..." Lu Ban said apologetically.

Only then did Xiaotong realize that he remembered that he saw a person suddenly appearing in front of him before he was alive, was frightened and then fell to his death. That person... seemed to be Lu Ban.

"At that time, I sold the poison to a slave in the county government's mansion. Out of caution, I waited and watched from the mansion, but I walked through it unintentionally and scared you."

"Poison... so someone really wants to kill the county master?"

"Because he has done too many unconscionable things, even Lord Yan can't keep him."

"Did he do a lot of bad things?" Xiaotong couldn't believe it. He was trafficked on the street. With gratitude.

"He was originally a gangster. He robbed and killed a newly appointed county magistrate before he became the county magistrate here. He colluded with human traffickers, bought and sold civilian girls and children, and forced them into prostitution. He relied on his official appearance to cover up his crimes."

The little boy was amazed, and later Shi Wuchang showed him what the county lord was doing through a fantasy, and finally realized that he was also one of the victims of the county lord's human traffickers, and he acted like a thief as his father. A slave for most of the year.

The little boy bowed three times to the hall, and said loudly: "Master Qingtian, please give justice to the common people."

At this moment, the little paper figurines on the table suddenly came alive, and accompanied by ghostly laughter, the little paper people pulled the county magistrate out from under the desk.

All the big ghosts and little ghosts in the government office started to make a fuss.
