I'm taking the imperial examinations in Liaozhai

Chapter 148 Negotiation

After Ji Zihe made his decision, the case was officially closed.Although the three of them were somewhat dissatisfied with the result, they could reluctantly accept it.Even if they continue to entangle, it is estimated that there will be no better results.

Wang's wife stared at her belly, not knowing what she was thinking, with a disgusted expression on her face.Wang Gao, who has been paying attention to her, noticed her eyes and comforted, "It's okay, we will have other children in the future."

Wang's wife nodded, a trace of ruthlessness flashed across her eyes.Ji Zihe ordered the bull head and horse face to take them back to revive their souls.

Yingsan was a little worried, "My lord, what if they kill the child?"

Wang's wife's stomach is now his body. If Wang's wife aborts the child and won't have children in the future, how can he vent his anger.

"No, they won't remember what happened in the courtroom, and naturally they won't know that you, the son of a debt collector, will exist. When Wang's wife is about to give birth, you will entrust Wang Gao with a dream and tell him what happened. He, let him return the money to you." Ji Zihe felt a little pain in his head, and really felt that it was useless to read the files for so many days.

I didn't expect that it would be easy to actually handle the case, especially such a trivial matter.Since the case of Yangjian Yamen cannot be used as a reference, and there is no specific legal provision, it is really not easy to find a reasonable solution.

"It turns out that your lord is so thoughtful, thank you lord." Yingsan kowtowed.

Ji Zihe waved his hand, and the judge wrote Ji Zihe's verdict into an official document, and brought him and Yingsan to the underworld to go through the procedure.

Although the City God Temple issued a verdict, matters related to reincarnation still need to be executed by the relevant departments of the underworld.

After handing over the judgment documents and Yingsan to the relevant departments of the local government, the follow-up matters of this case are not related to the Chenghuang Temple.

After finishing the case, Ji Zihe withdrew from the court, got into his statue and sat cross-legged, eating the power of faith.

"Bone, what do you think of my sentence just now?" Ji Zihe grabbed a handful of Power of Faith and stuffed it into his mouth, feeling refreshed immediately.

No wonder the gods like to establish sects and build temples to be enshrined. Of course, not only because they can be admired by thousands of people and satisfy their vanity.More importantly, the power of faith is good for their cultivation, and the purified faith can even be compared to some precious natural treasures.Heaven, material and earth treasures are hard to find, but as long as they are operated properly, faith is not easy to get. It is no wonder that immortals like to manipulate human designs so much.

The power of faith in the statue of Chenghuang is primary product, unprocessed and purified, the effect is mediocre, and it is still possible to relieve fatigue.

"It's okay." Xiao Qinglong stretched his neck, "Give me a bite."

Ji Zihe grabbed a handful and sent it to his head, so that this lazy dragon who would not move his nest could eat something warm.

Meng Zhang's mouth was stuffed, and he said solemnly, "This is your first time judging a case. You have no experience, so it's not bad. In the future, you will encounter a few more cases and accumulate more experience."

"In your opinion, what should be the sentence?" Ji Zihe asked suspiciously.

"It's not easy, don't talk nonsense to them, throw all three of them into the frying pan in hell, and see if they dare to be dishonest!"

Meng Zhang was obviously very concerned about the quarrel between the three in the courtroom, and they dared to question Xiao Hezi's verdict, which made Meng Zhang feel offended.He didn't care who was right and who was wrong, and he didn't have any sense of justice, but as an ancient god, he would never allow ants to dare to act presumptuously in front of him!

Ji Zihe: "..."

He thought that the bone would have some experience, but what kind of ghost sentence was it that he said, it was clearly a fake public benefit.I have to say that it is really the luck of the local people that Gu Gu did not become an official.

After resting for a while, Ji Zihe processed today's official documents, and summoned the wandering gods of the day and night, asking them to pay attention to the strangers who came to Ning'an County recently.If anyone is suspected of being a flower picker, remember to report to him in time.

After finishing the work at the Town God's Temple, it's already the third watch, and I finally finished the day's work.Ji Zihe tidied up, took off the City God's official robe, and went home to sleep.

Ji Zihe's current residence is a house allocated by the government.Local officials are different from Beijing officials. In Jingzhou, every inch of land is expensive, housing prices are so expensive, and there are so many officials, the imperial court is not willing to spend so much money to allocate houses to each of them.In addition to the rewards from the Son of Heaven, other officials, big and small, need to settle their residences by themselves.

But local officials are different. When local officials take office, they are directly allocated houses, which are called official residences.The furniture and everything are complete, the kind that you can move in with your bags when you come.

Of course, if you are not satisfied with the official house, you can also find a place for yourself.But Ji Zihe is not such a picky person, the official house is pretty good, and it is already a luxury for only a few people to live in such a big house, so why waste money.

Early the next morning, just after dawn, Ji Zihe was awakened by a knock on the door.He yawned, fortunately he is already a fairy now, otherwise he would stay up so late every day and wake up so early in the morning, he would definitely doze off during the day.

"Who is it?" Ji Zihe put on his clothes, opened the door, and saw Huang Jiulang, Xin Shishiniang and others standing at the door.

"Xiao Jiu, why did you come back so early?" Ji Zihe was a little surprised, he thought Huang Jiulang would spend more time at Xin's house.

Huang Jiulang put on a bitter face, "Master, something happened again."

"what?"

"Master, you must help Miss Fourteen, otherwise her life will be ruined!" Huang Jiulang said pitifully.

Ji Zihe looked at him, then at Xin Shishiniang, "Go to the main hall and wait for me first, I'll be right there."

The bedroom is not a good place to talk, Ji Zihe asked them to wait in the main hall first, then he hurriedly washed up, put Xiao Qinglong who was still asleep on the bed in his arms, and went to the main hall.

"What trouble are you in?" Ji Zihe sat down and asked.

Huang Jiulang was afraid that Xin Shiniang, a boudoir, would be embarrassed, so he rushed to tell everything he knew.Xin Shishiniang didn't show any shyness, and she added explanations that Huang Jiulang didn't mention, saving Ji Zihe the effort of patchwork.

After listening to them, Ji Zihe frowned, and subconsciously touched the teacup on the table.It wasn't until I picked it up that I realized that there was no water in the glass, so I put the glass down in embarrassment.

Huang Jiulang said winkingly, "I'm going to make tea right now."

"Well, remember to serve Miss Xin a cup of tea too." Ji Zihe reminded that Miss Xin has been here for so long, and she didn't even serve a cup of tea, which is Huang Jiulang's dereliction of duty.

Hearing this, Huang Jiulang hurried to make tea.It was about his cousin, so he was reluctant to leave, so he stole a bit of laziness, used magic to boil a pot of hot water, and hurriedly brewed two cups of tea and brought them up.

Ji Zihe picked up the hot tea, blew on the hot air, and took a sip. Not only did he feel warm in his stomach, but also his whole body.

Seeing that Ji Zihe didn't speak, Xin Shishiniang asked, "What is your embarrassment?"

"There are indeed some difficulties. I am just a little city god, and the husband of the old county lord you mentioned is the five-city tour envoy. If I want to stop this marriage, I need to think of a way." Ji Zihe said.

The City God is just a petty official, and to trouble the five-city patrol envoys is not to strike a stone with an egg.Ji Zihe didn't want to be that kind of stupefied young man in the officialdom. Offending people might not be a success, and he might have to involve himself in it, and the gain would outweigh the loss.

But Ji Zihe can't ignore this matter, he is in his position to seek his own government, and being an official does not make decisions for the people, so it is better to go home and sell sweet potatoes.Even if there is no Huang Jiulang, this is something that happened within his jurisdiction. Since it was stabbed in front of him, he, as the local city god, will definitely take care of it.

It's just that he needs to be flexible, and he has to think of a way, not only to prevent this marriage, but also to ensure their safety, which is really bald.

"Master, what's the problem?" Huang Jiulang said flatteringly, "No matter how big the five-city patrol envoy is, he can be as big as you. You are the prince of the underworld!"

Ji Zihe was stunned for a moment, with a complicated expression on his face.

Huang Jiulang couldn't help beating a small drum in his heart, "Master, what's wrong with you, did I say something wrong?"

"No, I just think I'm too stupid." Ji Zihe almost wanted to knock his head, how could he forget this.

If it wasn't for Xiao Jiu's reminder, he would have really forgotten that he still has the identity of the young master of the underworld, which is simply too stupid.Since His Royal Highness Pluto gave him the capital to be domineering, why didn't he use it?He is not a self-proclaimed person.

"Master is not stupid, master is the smartest person I have ever met." Huang Jiulang complimented, and the purpose of licking the dog is to make the matter of flattering go through every stitch anytime and anywhere, to the end.

After figuring it out, Ji Zihe no longer frowned, straightened his back, looked confident, and said calmly, "Miss Xin, don't worry, since you don't want to marry, I will stop this marriage." .”

"Thank you, Lord Chenghuang." Xin Shishiniang said.

"If it's just to stop this wedding, it's very simple. The old Junjun can use his power to force you to get married. Naturally, I can use my power to force her to give up. But if it's a private settlement, it won't have any impact on her. I'll still trouble you. From what you've said, this old Junjun usually behaves domineeringly. I think this incident can be used to teach her a lesson so that she can restrain herself in the future. Miss Xin, what do you think?"

In Ji Zihe's view, the old Junjun is one of the local snakes.No matter whether it is human beings or ghosts, it is a scourge.The backing behind the old Junjun is huge, and if she doesn't rectify it, she might really regard herself as the local emperor here.

Ji Zihe's only concern was Xin Shiniang. If he followed his thinking, it might damage Xin Shiniang's reputation.

But Ji Zihe obviously forgot that a monster is a monster, and a person is a person. How can he use human moral standards to kidnap a monster?Such things as forced marriage and refusal to marry will really not affect the reputation of the demon.Even if it affects them, so what, they don't value reputation as much as people do.

"What does your lord want to do?" Xin Shishiniang asked.

"It's very simple. Handling a case pays attention to the acquisition of personal stolen goods. Now we have no witnesses or physical evidence, so we can't convict the old Junjun. Please wait patiently for a few days. When the old Junjun sends someone to send a marriage certificate to your house, you Arrest him, and come directly to Chenghuang Temple to file a complaint, and I will handle the rest."

Without thinking about it, Xin Shishiniang said, "Yes, my lord."
