Dust roots [comprehension]

The case of the flower picker has been settled.Daoyi didn't give Chigu an answer, because there is no "if" in this world, and he also didn't respond to Chigu's intentions, only saying "I don't deserve it".

The restaurant is not the Pingyang Prison Secretary. Although the truth has been revealed, the verdict cannot be announced immediately. The City Lord's Mansion has a whole set of procedures to go.

As for why Chi Gu is interrogated here, on the one hand, it is to facilitate the real flower pickers to save people, and to play the role of Chi Gu as a bait; Enter the prison division's territory.

At the end of the interrogation, the eight families left one after another, Dao Yi and Chi Gu were suppressed in the hall, and they were sent to the prison by the clerk and the Pingyang patrol soldiers waiting outside.

The clerk who announced the end of the meeting asked to stay: "Song Huaichen, Huang Yaoshi, and Lu Tingyun are invited to stay. The city lord invites the three of you to enter the mansion for a briefing."

Hearing the words of the document, the Eight Aristocratic Family stopped for a while, looked at the three people who had been called and continued to walk out, Fang Jianbai was the last, patted Lu Tingyun on the shoulder before leaving.

When Daoyi and Chigu were also escorted away, there were only a few people left in the room who knew the basics, and the secretary bowed his hands to Di Rongshan, and also left.

Song Huaichen asked, "What are you talking about?"

Di Rongshan looked at the sun outside the window: "Have a meal first? I, the restaurant owner, haven't invited guests seriously yet."

Song Huaichen didn't object, and the other two didn't object either. They followed Di Rongshan to the top floor of the restaurant, where they sat down before a table of delicacies.

Song Huaichen still tasted the way of eating, Huang Yaoshi still gobbled it up, and the two of them behaved the same at the table where the Lord of Pingyang was seated. Shan is much more wary than the other two.

Huang Yaoshi couldn't stop talking, and he said while eating: "Those who suffered the disaster are also unlucky, and they were quick to talk, but they didn't expect to bring about a catastrophe."

Song Huaichen turned the teacup in his hand: "So to be a human being, you must be polite and maintain the most basic respect for others." Among the people who commented badly on the matter of cutting off sleeves, there are probably not only those who are quick to talk, but also show their sense of presence by sensationalizing others. There are also those who really refuse to hate this kind of intercourse from the bottom of their hearts.

Huang Yaoshi nodded in agreement, and then asked, "What will be the verdict?"

Of course, the Lord of Pingyang City understands the punishment and justice of the prison: "Daoyi's fate will not be good, this incident has too much impact. Although the crime is not fatal, his fate is nothing more than two kinds - one is to abolish his whole body. Cultivation is expelled from the cultivation world, and second, sent to a cold and remote place to be a coolie for the rest of his life. As for Chi Gu, if he knew about it and did not report it, and he helped the evildoers, his spiritual power would be sealed and he would receive one hundred to two hundred lashes."

"So, there won't be a good result between the two of them." Huang Yaoshi sighed.

Song Huaichen looked at him sideways: "What, you pity them?"

"Not really. They did something wrong and deserve to be punished. I just feel embarrassed. If Chi Gu could be more decisive and express his heart earlier, would these things really not happen?"

Lu Tingyun put down his chopsticks: "Perhaps, Chigu has weight in his heart. If Chigu had made it clear earlier that Daoyi had something to worry about, maybe the result would have been different."

Di Rongshan teased: "Fellow Daoist Lu's tone sounds very empathetic?"

Huang Yaoshi looked at Lu Tingyun when he heard the sound.

Lu Tingyun nodded generously: "After all, I also like men."

Huang Yaoshi: "...cough cough cough—" He choked.

Song Huaichen patted him on the back: "As for?"

Huang Yaoshi: "Surprised," he said intermittently, "I haven't noticed it for so long!"

Song Huaichen: "What's surprising, didn't you also realize that Daoyi likes men?"

Huang Yaoshi was even more surprised: "How did you find out?"

Lu Tingyun's eyes lightly fell on Song Huaichen's face.

Song Huaichen smiled, and said calmly: "It's very simple, because I also like men."

Huang Yaoshi shook his fingers, pointed at Song Huaichen, and then pointed at Lu Tingyun. He finally responded sharply: "You, you all like men? You were so angry when Lu Tingyun was taken away, and Lu Tingyun said that he has someone he likes. You, you two Could it be—”

Song Huaichen patted Huang Yaoshi's back instead of patting his shoulder: "You finally found out."

Huang Yaoshi: "...you...you let me take it easy."

Song Huaichen asked him to change the subject slowly and quickly: "What do you want us to do?" He asked Di Rongshan.

"It's business." Di Rongshan swallowed the food in his mouth slowly, and then replied, "There are too many people in the restaurant, let's talk about it in the City Lord's Mansion."

The Pingyang City Lord's Mansion is majestic and heavily guarded.

Under Di Rongshan's leadership, the four traveled unimpeded.

The Lord of Pingyang directly brought the three of them into the study room, lit the incense, and closed the door. Di Rongshan twisted the mechanism, unlocked the magic circle, took out a token from the hidden compartment, and showed it to the three of them with the front facing outward. :"do you know it?"

It was a black meteorite token with a fine texture, and the thin and well-proportioned iron wires poured the shape of mountains, rivers, lakes and seas at the bottom. A ray of starlight dripped from a seven-star spoon in the middle, and fell on the junction of water and sky, spreading out flatly. ——

Huang Yaoshi's face changed in horror, and he opened his mouth to shout out the word "weight and measure".

Song Huaichen stopped him with his hand, motioned him to calm down, and then asked Di Rongshan, "What do you mean by showing us this?"

"Two meanings. One is to show my identity. The other is to find out your details. Now that everyone knows weights and measures, things will be much easier."

"In the hall just now, I ordered the clerk to call you distinguished guests. I think everyone can see that I treat you—" Di Rongshan used such a word, "—I have ulterior motives."

"As the Lord of Pingyang, I hope that Huang Yaoshi and Song Huaichen can become Pingyang's aides. You don't need to stay in the city on weekdays. As long as Pingyang needs you, you can do what you can. Pingyang's aides are well paid, Needless to say about the property, as long as it does not hinder the normal operation of Pingyang, the news channels in the city can also be used at will—”

Before he could finish speaking, Huang Yaoshi asked, "Use it at will? Not every staff member has the right to do so?"

Di Rongshan smiled: "Not every staff member will be personally recruited by the city lord. When I recruit you, of course I must show enough sincerity."

"Besides, I'm not only recruiting you as the city lord of Pingyang." Only Song and Huang were recruited by the city lord of Pingyang, and now Lu Tingyun is also present, "I'm still recruiting you as a member of weights and measures."

"My curiosity about you all began in Yingshan Lake. The weights and measures of that village have long been recorded. Cultivators can't enter or leave, but you have successfully walked out." Before the three asked questions, Di Rongshan directly told them that he was How do you know, "There are weights and measures guards near the cave outside Yingshan Lake."

Lu Tingyun immediately thought of another thing: "It's impossible for the demon cultivator to not know the weights and measures when he killed the people of Yingshan Lake, so you just watched?"

Di Rongshan asked back: "What does Moxiu's killing of Yingshan Lakers have to do with us? Why did we take action?"

Huang Yaoshi slapped the table suddenly: "Isn't weights and measures specialized in injustice?!"

"Injustice? The weak eat the strong, how has the world ever been truly peaceful?" Di Rongshan remained unmoved, "I feed on livestock and grind five grains for food, but can someone complain about injustice for livestock and five grains? For Moxiu, human and livestock If it is useless, you can take it and eat it, and they are more fair."

Song Huaichen laughed: "The so-called equality of all living beings."

Di Rongshan nodded appreciatively: "That's the truth."

Huang Yaoshi disagreed, and questioned Song Huaichen: "Then you still save Ah Wan and kill Ge Qing?"

"It's two different things." Song Huaichen took a sip of tea and said calmly, "My position is biased. As for weights and measures, it should be a neutral recorder." But it's wrong to say that, "Then yours What are the flat and unfair things?"

"There is no standard," Di Rongshan laughed, that smile was proud, and his pale face showed a different kind of brilliance because of it, "I feel that I can't stand it any longer. Gather all the people we can find and vote. A few Obey the majority, control if you pass, and continue to watch if you don’t pass.”

Song Huaichen nodded: "It's a good idea."

Huang Yaoshi looked at Song Huaichen in surprise, obviously because of Di Rongshan's description, his impression of weights and measures had declined, and Song Huaichen was just the opposite.

Lu Tingyun doesn't have any special likes and dislikes towards Weights and Measures, what he cares about is the information revealed by Di Rongshan: "Weights and Measures pay attention to Yingshan Lake, so what about Gui Yuantian?"

"In the records of weights and measures, Guiyuan Tianju appeared before Yingshan Lake." Di Rongshan said, "Weights and measures are a seemingly loose, but actually tight organization." Their rigor can be seen from the voting, "such an organization The operation must have sufficient financial support, and Guiyuan Tianju is the money bag of weights and measures."

Song Huaichen stopped drinking tea, looked up, and Di Rongshan turned his gaze to him: "Guiyuan Tianju has been buried for too long, so long that no one knows about it, so naturally it can't support today's weights and measures, but today's Zhenbao Pavilion is exactly Evolved from its offshoots."

"In the original written records of Weights and Measures, Guiyuan Tianju existed, and the two organizations were established at the same time. Then one day, suddenly, thunderstorms fell from the sky, the earth shook, and Guiyuan Tianju sank into the ground. Yingshan Lake Appeared, and the small village surrounded by enchantment by Yingshan Lake also appeared at the same time, with houses and fields in it, men, women and children, it was a picture of generational reproduction, it didn't seem to appear suddenly at all."

"At the time of the handover between the sinking of Guiyuan Tianju and the appearance of Yingshan Lake, Baigu Mountain briefly appeared in the world. The fortune tellers of senior weights and measures calculated that Baigu Mountain was related to the people of Yingshan Lake, and that the people of Yingshan Lake came from underground. They are very likely, not at all not human."
