There's A Beauty

The next day, because the villagers of Lijia Village were still on the way, Youshu tried the jailer who had neglected his duty first.Unexpectedly, the yamen servants, subordinate officials, and police officers who had not been on duty for a long time came together, arguing that there was a lot of grievance in it, and asked the county magistrate to investigate again.The jailer's wife knelt at the door crying for grievances with snot and tears, and she looked very pitiful.

"Zhao Youshu" has a lot of criminal records. Although Youshu made up for it a little yesterday, it didn't benefit the general public, so the people still don't trust him very much, and there is a faint look of doubt in his eyes.But they didn't help the woman open her eyes, because the woman's husband is an official servant, and he does a lot of evil things to bully his neighbors on weekdays. If he is sentenced, it will be considered karma.

Everyone watched with cold eyes, waiting for the two groups of people in the hall to bite the dogs. It can be seen that the hatred for officials has penetrated into the bone marrow, and it will be extremely difficult to ensure that there is no wrongdoing from the king of hell.If it were another person, it would definitely be a headache right now, but Youshu would only do her best to do what she had to do, and she didn't think too much about it.

He summoned his fellow jailers and asked him to narrate what happened. Unexpectedly, he said conclusively last night that Li Gui was the one who choked to death, but he changed his words today, saying that Li Gui first rolled on the ground in pain, and then violently Hey, maybe he got some kind of emergency.Immediately afterwards, another assistant stood up and said that he had just gone to see the corpse and realized that Li Gui died very strangely, and he must have been beaten by someone.

Among the [-] strong men newly hired by Youshu, several showed fearful and guilty expressions, with cold sweat on their foreheads, and their faces were as pale as paper.

At this moment, You Shuruo has grown such a super brain for nothing without noticing the clue.All these people disappeared at once, and appeared one after another, no doubt preparing to deal with him.The magistrate of the county himself acted so justly suddenly, it has already blocked their eyes and blocked their way, how can we not get rid of it?

In today's Dayong Kingdom, the corruption of officials has reached the point where it is difficult to recover.On the one hand, corrupt officials accounted for the vast majority, so that officials and officials protected each other and became more and more depraved, while those officials who originally had great enthusiasm and wanted to do something for the people had difficulty gaining a foothold.They were either excluded and suppressed, or framed, and some were even killed on the way before taking office.

Youshu understands that her current situation is extremely dangerous, but she is not completely helpless.Seeing the starved ghost rushing in, he asked with mental strength, "How is the investigation going?"

"My lord, you are right. They are indeed planning to join forces to deal with you. Just after Li Gui died last night, someone reported a letter to Wang Fu's confidants. Before dawn this morning, they ran to the place where the corpse was placed, Beat Li Gui's body back and forth hundreds of boards, all the bones were broken, and then spent 100 taels of silver to bribe the few coolies you hired yesterday, and let them testify in court that you ordered them to torture Li Gui to death by abusing lynching When Wang Fu comes back, they will use this to impeach you."

Youshu moved her fingertips slightly, and shot out a yin-yang vitality talisman, which sent the starving ghost away, and then looked at everyone in the hall expressionlessly.It is said that "all mouths make money, and accumulation destroys bones", he finally understood the true meaning of this sentence today.There are so many people who are unanimous in their opinions, and even their employees have come forward to point out that no matter what they say, it will be sophistry to others.

He quickly thought about the countermeasures, but he saw that the four yamen servants carried the corpse to the hall on their own initiative, and let the prisoner inspect it in front of everyone. Li Gui and the prisoner's wife cried so hard that they almost fainted.

Youshu was really angry this time, and took out the ghost charms that she just made last night to trigger them, thinking that since you used tricks and tricks against me first, don't blame me for being ruthless.

Just at this time, the air suddenly twisted for a moment, a tall man wearing a black cloak and a purple mask appeared in the hall, and walked two steps slowly.However, no matter whether it was the onlookers or the crying sufferer, they turned a blind eye to him, except Youshu's body was slightly stiff.

Doesn't this master manage a lot of things every day? How could he appear here?Is he here to spy on me?Or have discovered the identity of my otherworldly person?Youshu didn't dare to breathe, and immediately hid the Yin Gui Talisman in her hand into her sleeve pocket, then picked up the gavel and prepared to slap it hard.

It's good that he didn't do this extra movement, but when he did it, he almost revealed his secrets.Because he was so frightened, a lot of fine sweat unknowingly broke out from the palm of his hand, and he fell out as soon as he grasped the smooth gavel, and fell to the ground with a bang, without any official authority, but rather in a state of embarrassment.He quickly bent down to pick it up, and while he was hiding behind the tablecloth, he immediately wiped the cold sweat from his palms and forehead, then straightened up pretending to be calm, and continued the interrogation.

He originally wanted to use the ghost talisman to create the illusion of a few dead people appearing, to frighten this group of people, and then make them speak the truth in horror.But now, Lord Yan is in the hall, so it should be more useful than the ghost charm, right?Thinking of this, he slapped the gavel heavily, and asked, "Zheng Yuzuo, how dare you swear to God that what you just said was not a single lie?"

"The villain swears to the sky, everything he said just now is true. Li Gui did indeed die from the beating."

Youshu looked at the three coolies who were already kneeling below and identified her, "How dare you swear to the sky? You must know that the sky has eyes, and karma has retribution. If you deliberately framed this official, you would be sentenced to eighteenth grade." Layers of hell, tongue pulled out."

The three coolies hesitated for a moment, then raised their hands to swear.They were also forced to do nothing. If the whole family hadn't been controlled by Wang Fu's lackeys, who would have done such an outrageous thing?It is said that good people don't live long, and good officials don't end well. Zhao County Magistrate wants to be a good official, and this is his biggest mistake.

Youshu nodded, showing a sad expression at the right time.As he expected, Yan Luo Wang, who had been watching coldly, finally made a move.He first walked to the worker, strangled his neck, made him stick out his tongue while suffocating, then cut off his fingers, and then walked to the three coolies, doing the same thing.But because these three people were also victims, he only cut their tongues in half, not at the root.

After doing all this, he stared at his blood-stained palm for a long time without moving, and he didn't know what he was thinking, and he was stunned for a long time before disappearing.

Youshu let out a long breath, and thought to herself: This King Yama is indeed a person with a strong sense of justice, and he will not allow any injustice to happen under his nose, so he will open his eyes for me in person.He can even judge the previous head of the country, and of course he can monitor the successor. There may be a glimmer of hope for Dayong Kingdom under his control.The reason why he frequently interrogates corrupt officials who have not yet lived their lives is probably because of the corruption of the officials, so that there are too many ghosts thrown into hell, which makes the Hades feel pressured?If the ruler of the mortal world is incompetent, the King of Yama in the underworld will also be affected. The two worlds of Yin and Yang are closely related to each other, and they are not completely separated.

When Youshu guessed by herself, the hall was already in chaos.Just imagine, the few people who had swearing that they were not lying, the next moment they raised their necks, stuck out their tongues, and were cut to pieces of flesh and blood out of thin air. What kind of terrifying scene would that be?Again, the warning from the magistrate of Lenovo County, well, this is clearly the reward of the present world, and the tongue was pulled out by the ghost messenger!

It is self-evident what this means.The people of Dayong Kingdom had a very difficult life, and they had to find some spiritual sustenance in order to survive.Nine out of ten people believe in Buddhism, and they firmly believe in the theory of karmic reincarnation and hell.It is more effective to let them see the miracle with their own eyes than to justify a hundred sentences in front of them.They immediately boiled over, strongly condemning these people's disrespect to ghosts and gods.

"Just after taking the oath, the tongue was cut off. It can be seen that God is watching from above! If you want to survive, you should tell the truth!"

"Master County, there is no need to interrogate, they are all falsely accusing you, pull them out immediately and behead them!"

"Evil will be rewarded with evil, and good will be rewarded with good. It's not that the time has not come for not repaying. This time the time has come, and I will definitely be caught by ghost messengers and sent to hell!"

Everyone's comments frightened everyone in the hall, especially the four people who suffered from it. Although the pain was unbearable, they still kowtowed to Youshu desperately, hoping to be forgiven by him.

You Shu slapped the gavel hard, and asked, "I will ask you again, how did Li Gui die?"

Wu Zuo couldn't speak, and quickly scratched on the ground stained with his own blood: "My lord, Li Gui was lying on his back after being drunk, and choked to death by his own vomit.The reason why the whole body of the corpse was broken was because of the repeated beatings by Kong Laosan this morning, and it has nothing to do with adults!

The three coolies couldn't write, they covered their bloody mouths and spoke vaguely, making it impossible for others to tell the difference.But even if they didn't understand half a word, everyone understood that they must be admitting their crimes.

The jailer who had been shouting for injustice before was so frightened that he was so frightened that his liver and gallbladder were torn apart. Without interrogation by the county magistrate, he explained everything about how they conspired to frame the adults.The rest of the yamen servants and subordinate officials could not withstand the pressure and knelt down to plead guilty.

Youshu didn't talk nonsense, just threw out a few punishment sticks, dragged the people down and beat them hard, after the beatings, they each wrote their crimes, and then they were charged and sentenced according to the severity of the crimes.After dealing with Li Guizhi's death, people from Lijia Village also arrived, and he then interrogated Li Ergou's little Luoluo.Because of the dream threat of being arrested and sentenced to death in hell last night, several of them confessed and were willing to be punished.

In just an hour, the case was all settled, and Youshu left amidst the cheers of the people.From this day on, the people in Suichang County have a different impression of the county magistrate. Some people admire him very much, some are grateful to him, and some people just wait and see without saying a word.

Youshu took off his official hat and held it in his palm, and walked quickly towards the dining room.After a busy morning, he was so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back, but unexpectedly, just as he walked around the rockery, he saw a man wearing a cloak and a mask standing less than a foot in front of him.

Why are you here again?Youshu's mind was completely filled with these words, and she completely forgot to react because she was too frightened.No matter how developed his brain is, he can't resist the instinct of survival.After tens of thousands of years of evolution, the limbic brain of human beings will retain the three basic survival skills from generation to generation, namely: freezing, escaping, and resisting.

When frightened, humans first stiffen, which is known as "freezing", and then run away, only resisting when escape is impossible.Even if Youshu adjusted quickly, her body stiffened for a moment, and then she walked forward with a calm and composed expression on her face.There was only one path in front of him, which meant that if he continued walking he would bump into the man.

The man stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes were like lightning, as if he was examining himself.Youshu didn't know if he had seen the flaw just now, but she knew that she must not get confused at this time.This person is the King of Yama, and the depth of his Taoism may be far beyond his imagination, but if he shows a slight abnormality, he may be seen through, and then become the opponent's tonic.

He didn't stop for a moment, and ran straight towards the opponent, but the opponent avoided it at the last moment.

Youshu wanted to let out a sigh of relief, but barely held back, and continued to walk towards the dining room.The man didn't leave after the temptation, but followed step by step, as if he was very interested in his life, he listened to him when he was urging him to eat, and watched silently while eating with one hand on his cheek, and he didn't want to leave.

Youshu groaned secretly in her heart, but she didn't show it on the surface. Fortunately, the ghosts he gathered had already hidden underground because of the coercion released by King Yama, otherwise it would be another flaw.Halfway through the meal, Yama's token around his waist suddenly shone brightly. He touched it with his hand, and then disappeared in an instant.

Finally gone!Youshu immediately put down the bowls and chopsticks, stuck out her tongue, and panted heavily while lying on the table. The cold sweat on her forehead, temples, and back rushed out, and her heart almost jumped out of her throat.

"If I do it a few more times, I'm afraid I'll have a heart attack." He wiped off the sweat with his sleeves, his cheeks puffed up and then held back, puffed up and then held back, repeatedly inhaling and exhaling, so as to let his throbbing heart recover quickly normal.He didn't know that he looked like a frog that was extremely short of water, and he didn't know that the person who had disappeared was just a cover-up, but was actually standing beside him, quietly staring at him with a pair of deep and unfathomable eyes. .

"Sure enough, I can see the king. The gavel tree was scared off by the king, right?" He spoke slowly, with a hint of a smile in his cold voice.

Youshu still didn't know it. After calming her heart, she picked up the bowl and crazily planed rice into her mouth.After being frightened, he had to eat hard and keep eating in order to find some sense of security, not to mention that this time made him more terrified than ever before.Because he knew that this person was an existence he couldn't resist, and the other person might not need to use his hands, but only needed a ray of divine thought to crush himself, thus completely disappearing.

But he must not disappear, because in this world, there may still be someone waiting for him.If he died, what would happen to that person?Will he wait until he is desperate and crazy like in the first life, waiting until he can't even close his eyes?

Youshu didn't dare to think too much, she puffed her cheeks and tried to chew her food, and then she rolled her eyes because of choking.

The man touched the water glass reflexively, but saw that the other party had already picked up the teapot and poured it vigorously, and managed to swallow the thing in a series of loud grunts.The man never expected Zhao Youshu to be so funny in private, especially after being frightened, he looked like a puppy in the water and a frog short of water, which was so funny that he almost laughed out loud.

The people who originally planned to leave after testing out the results stayed for a few more quarters of an hour, admiring Youshu's bold and unrestrained eating with relish, and then followed him back to the room.He was not surprised to see a few ghost-expelling charms pasted on the curtains and beams of the house.Zhao Youshu's ancestor was Xia Qi Guoshi, who has a lot of research on metaphysics, so he will naturally pass down some secret skills.

He felt that some of them seemed to be different from the ones in his impression, and he was about to take a closer look, but the badge on his waist shone again, which showed that there was an urgent matter over there.He shook his head with some regret, then walked to Youshu who was lying on the soft couch eating grapes, looked at it silently for a while, and then disappeared.

Youshu didn't notice this at all, she washed up and went to bed after eating and drinking.

The next day, there was still no one in the yamen who came to work. Fortunately, he was able to take care of all the internal affairs by himself, so he was not in a hurry.As for the work of arresting criminals, it is enough to hire a few more coolies. Isn't there a difference between regular workers and temporary workers in modern times?Most of the regular workers eat and don't work hard, and the real workers are still temporary workers. Leaving aside Wang Fu's team, his work efficiency is much higher.

After cracking down on street bullies and stabilizing social order, he began to deal with a mountain of unsolved cases. At the same time, the tax money and tax grains paid three times a year were piled up in the warehouse.Taxation is a direct reference for assessing political performance, and it is also an important means for local officials to collect money.

"Zhao Youshu" has embezzled 30 million taels of tax money just a year after he arrived in Suichang.However, there is a more corrupt side to this tax system. Not only can the magistrate directly extend his hand, but also the subordinate staff who are responsible for tax collection can also deduct at various levels. Coupled with the exploitation of the landlord’s old money, the amount that is finally apportioned to the people is enough This made a well-off family impoverished in a blink of an eye.

If anyone's family was forced to death because of this, wouldn't the guilt be blamed on themselves?Youshu hated this very much, and ordered the starving ghost to follow the subordinates all day long to find out how much they had confiscated, then arrested them one by one and tortured them, and finally searched the family property, and returned it to the villagers after counting the exact amount Landlords in all townships were also ordered not to increase land rent without authorization.

He saved the people from fire and water, and established a high prestige in a short period of time, but he also attracted the attention of his colleagues.In their eyes, what the county magistrate Zhao did was tantamount to going against the grain and seeking his own death.Everyone does this, but you want to flaunt yourself. How can you honor Shangfeng if you don't embezzle money?How to be promoted if Shangfeng's financial resources are cut off?If you don't get promoted, you will be replaced sooner or later, and there are many ways to do this, the most common one is to frame people for crimes.

If you are lucky, you may save your life, but if you are not lucky, your head will fall to the ground!

When everyone was waiting to see the end of County Magistrate Zhao, Wang Fu came back and brought a letter written by Wang Zhifu, in which he criticized Zhao County Magistrate and said that he had reported the matter to Prince Li. Let him wait patiently for disposal.Youshu tore the letter into pieces on the spot, and then ordered someone to drive the furious Wang Fu out of the Yamen, and said slowly, "You are the master hired by this official, but your actions have made this official very dissatisfied. From today on, you don't come to gone."

"If you don't come, you won't come. How can you be a grandfather? Grandpa wants to see what will happen to you in the end!" Wang Fu stood outside the yamen and shouted endlessly, causing the people to glare and throw stones one after another.

You Shu dared to be so stubborn because she had something to rely on. The female ghost who went with Wang Fu had already asked a ghost friend to find out the exact news. Today, the emperor and the imperial concubine died violently at the same time. Prince Li died of festering after three days. He is the fifth son of the first emperor, and he has been working as a vassal outside these years, and has never shown anything special.

Strange to say, all of his brothers stayed in Shangjing, but he went to the feudal domain at the age of 14 and never came back during the New Year's Eve, so his presence in the court was extremely low.However, on the morning of the sudden death of the first emperor, he reluctantly took up his pen and wrote the edict, clearly letting the fifth son succeed him. Naturally, the officials and the princes refused to admit the authenticity of the edict. Kneel down and shout long live.

Judging from what we have learned so far, this new emperor should be an extremely powerful person, but he doesn't know what his temperament is. Will he be too cruel and violent?But no matter how powerful he is, he can't beat the master below.If he doesn't like you, he can immediately let your soul return to the west, and then try another king.

Youshu has no confidence in the new emperor, but admires King Yan Luo very much.Although the man was a bit scary, in his mind he was the embodiment of justice.He dared to offend all the subordinate officials in Suichang, and even dared to compete with the magistrate, and he relied on none other than him.In today's world, ghosts are more upright and reliable than humans. It's ironic to say that.

While listening to the female ghost's report, Youshu wrote the supernatural talisman, and her mind was full of thoughts.

"My lord, the document for the new emperor's enthronement has been distributed to all states and counties, and it will be in your hands in a few days. Then the magistrate may not be able to punish you for your crimes." The female ghost gloated.

"His top priority now is to quickly find a new backer. You know, it's not terrible to make mistakes in government affairs, but the terrible thing is to stand on the wrong team. If you are not careful, you will be split into pieces." Youshu said slowly.

Counting the major factions in the court, none of them stood in the right position. I think that in the near future, there will be some shocks in Dayong Kingdom.Fortunately, "Zhao Youshu" is just a seventh-rank sesame official, and he doesn't even have the qualifications to stand in the team, which is no hindrance to Youshu now.

"You take this, and in your next life, you will be bright and marry a good man." Folding the drawn talisman into a triangle, Youshu explained it seriously.

The female ghost was so grateful that she kowtowed her head three times before slipping into the ground and reincarnated.Youshu spread out another piece of rice paper, wrote a document densely, and ordered someone to post it.

The common people like to read the official documents of Zhao County Magistrate very much recently, and when they see the official sent to brush rice paste on the wall, they all gather around.

"Which bully was punished today?"

"Hey, it's actually Wang Fu's grandson! The county magistrate has removed him from the position of master, and he will be just a commoner in the future."

"Really? Read it out for everyone to hear!"

A scholar immediately read aloud, and he hesitated as he read, "The county magistrate also said that the 18 taels of silver paid by the local wealth and his entire net worth were used to buy grain. If the grain merchants near Suichang If you are interested, you can come to the county government for an interview."

"Ah? Why buy so much food?"

"Take out all your wealth, won't you?"

"Is the magistrate insane? Now that the weather is going well, why buy so much grain? Is it mildew?"

The common people have different opinions and doubts, and some colleagues also have the idea of ​​​​taking the 18 taels of silver.In short, as soon as this document came out, You Shu provoked public anger again, and there were many conspiracies waiting behind.
