At night.
Huai County, in the Temple of the City God.
Yi Bai met with the city god here in the main hall of the city god.
"I will pay my respects to the God of Chen!"
Wearing a green robe, the city god with kind eyes and kind eyes paid a great ceremony and showed great respect.
"The city god doesn't need to be polite. I heard what the sun traveler said during the day. This county magistrate is not like what I have seen and heard. May I ask what the reason is?"
Yibai gets straight to the point.
He heard what Riyoushen said during the day and wanted to rush over to meet the City God as soon as possible. However, considering Liang Ze's safety, he ensured Liang Ze's safety before he came over to meet the City God.
He didn't want to get too entangled in this matter, so he asked the city god straight to the point.
Just want an answer.
"I don't dare to deceive Chen Shen. The county magistrate here is a treacherous but loyal person. He seems to have a good reputation, but in fact he is trying to make money in a subtle way. While governing the county and making it gain a good reputation, the county magistrate here uses all kinds of despicable means. The crimes of amassing money are too numerous to list!"
The city god was very angry and shouted loudly.
"How to make money through dirty means?"
Yi Bai stood in the hall and asked in detail.
"Does God Chen know that there is a righteous illness in the county?"
The city god asked.
"I know it."
Yi Bai nodded and replied.
The city god did not answer immediately. He walked to the desk angrily, clapped his hands suddenly, and said angrily: "This disease was caused by the county magistrate. While he sent people to sell some expensive medicinal materials to the villagers, he continued to Spreading righteous diseases, infecting the entire county and townsfolk, in order to make money. The so-called human blood steamed buns were made by the villagers who had no money to buy medicinal materials. However, human blood steamed buns were also introduced by the county magistrate to make money. Is it enough for this crime to buy medicine from the villagers?"
"The righteous disease is still only a partial disease. He has spread other diseases before, just to make money. However, the villagers think that he is a good official and his reputation is far and wide. No one doubts him at all. If I were not a ghost, I would also be blinded by him. !”
The city god shook his head and sighed, seemingly helpless.
"How dare this county magistrate do such a thing?"
Yi Bai also felt angry after hearing this.
While spreading diseases and controlling them so that they cannot be cured, and at the same time selling medicines to make money, this behavior is no different from that of livestock.
It's a shame that this county magistrate actually got a good reputation.
"Chen Shen, this is impossible."
"Why doesn't the City God punish you?"
"How can ghosts and gods interfere with people? This county magistrate is very ambitious, and it involves human rights fighting for dragons. How can I take action?"
"That's it."
Yi Bai understood it as soon as he heard it.
The city god will not take action because ghosts and gods are not allowed to interfere in human affairs.
It is said that at that time, the golden statue of the City God in Guxin County was pushed down by people from Liuquan Village, but to no avail. This shows that it is indeed impossible to intervene.
It seems that the gods are not allowed to intervene unless approved by the Emperor of Heaven.
Yi Bai's heart moved, he was no longer a god at the moment.
He can take care of this matter.
Yi Bai was thoughtful, he looked at the city god again and asked him about 'Liang Ze'.
The City God waved his hand and said, "It's just killing good people and taking credit for it. This was done by the county magistrate's brother. He killed people for fun. The county magistrate protected him, so he decided it was Liang Ze's fault!"
Yi Bai understood the details and was busy thanking the city god.
The city god shook his head, not daring to ask for help, and returned the gift to Yi Bai.
"That's it. I know the whole story, so I'll take my leave now!"
Yi Bai left.
"Tatsumi, slow down!"
The city god sends each other off.
…
Not long after.
Yi Bai walked out of the Chenghuang Temple and returned to Huai County.
He pondered in his mind how to expose the evil deeds of the magistrate of Huai County.
But he thought about it for a long time and didn't know how to do it.
Not as good as...
Straight to the point?
Yi Bai thought of a way.
He finally decided to rescue Liang Ze first and then talk about other things.
Yi Bai walked along the night towards the county.
After a while, he had already reached the prison in Huai County, which was a courtyard with green bricks and gray tiles.
On the upper block of the courtyard is written the word "prison" in large and upright characters. On top of it, there is a shallow pattern carved in the shape of a tiger, looking at the door with eager eyes.
Yi Bai walked up and was about to enter the prison.
Buzz! ! !
The tiger-shaped shallow sculpture on the courtyard suddenly burst into intense golden light, and a tiger with a body of six or seven feet long and a body full of flames came out through the wall. The tiger's eyes looked directly at Yi Bai.
Roar! !
The fire tiger roared, deafeningly.
Yi Bai felt alarmed, and he was about to take out his Zen staff and Buddhist teachings.
But he noticed that the fire tiger had not hurt him.
He looked up and saw Huo Hu guarding the prison door, just staring at him.
'What is this? Engraved on the prison door, with such power, could it be the beast? '
Yi Bai speculated in his mind.
Like the earthworm of the past, Bifan is one of the Nine Sons of the Dragon, with an image like a tiger. It is said that Bifan is eager for justice, speaks uprightly, and can distinguish right from wrong. Therefore, it is often erected or carved in front of the prison gate to suppress evil spirits. Banish demons.
Come to think of it, in front of him was the prison guard.
Roar! ! !
The fire tiger 'Bi'an' roared towards Yi Bai without any intention of attacking, and seemed to just want to drive him away.
"Bi'an, above, I am a dragon from Dongjie County, a monster from the earth. I have found out that the magistrate of this county has done many evil things, killing good people and taking merit. Therefore, I am determined to rescue the righteous people. Please let Bi'an go."
Yi Bai took out the brown orb, spoke respectfully and politely.
Bi An stared at the orb in Yi Bai's hand for a long time, and the entire tiger body turned into golden light and disappeared in place.
'This Bi'an is quite easy to talk to. '
Yi Bai took back the brown orb, muttering in his heart, and walked into the prison.
The prison was empty and no one was being held there.
He quickly found Liang Ze who was imprisoned.
"Liang Ze, let's go."
Yi Bai opened the prison with a light palm and said.
"You, who are you?"
Liang Ze was horrified.
"What's wrong? Have you forgotten about Caishikou?"
Yi Bai glanced at it and said.
"You, you are a god!"
Liang Ze knelt on the ground, grabbed the ground with his head, kowtowed and said.
"You are wrong, I am not a god, I am a monster."
Yi Bai showed a smile that he thought was kind.
"Monster, monster..."
Liang Ze was stunned, but after a moment, he returned to normal.
"Why, you're not afraid of me anymore?"
Yi Bai was very interested.
"Don't be afraid. No matter you are a god or a monster, you are a great benefactor who helps me. I am willing to work as a cow or a horse for you to repay your kindness!"
Liang Ze kowtowed again.
"Let's go, get out of jail."
Yi Bai didn't say much and walked out.
Liang Ze hurriedly followed Yi Bai out.
Along the way, I didn't see any government officials, and they didn't seem to care about the prison.
"Why, why are you the only criminal here? Is it possible that no one in this county has committed a crime?"
Yi Bai walked to the prison door, looked around, and asked.
"That's not the case, sir. Every person who enters this prison will be taken to be beheaded soon. Human blood steamed buns cannot be delayed."
Liang Ze followed behind, showing a sarcastic smile.
He didn't know how to address Yi Bai, so he called him 'Mr.' for fear of violating a taboo.
"I already know about the affairs of this county. I will handle what the county magistrate does. I will also restore your innocence to you. You can temporarily find a safe place and hide for a day or two."
Yi Bai shook his head and said.
"Don't worry, sir, I will hide it well. I will never forget your kindness, sir!"
Liang Ze said quickly.
Yi Bai nodded and didn't care. He walked out of the prison and didn't care about Liang Ze.
When Liang Ze saw this, he left wisely and did not dare to disturb Yi Bai.
Yi Bai walked on the street.
I don’t know how to deal with this county magistrate.
It is very simple to kill the county magistrate. He can just visit him at home, but it is difficult to let the villagers in the entire county know about it.
"What should I do?"
Yi Bai was confused and didn't know how to deal with this matter.
Dang, Dang, Dang!
The sound of the clock came from afar.
"It's the fourth watch of the ugly season! It's freezing cold!"
The figure of the watchman walks in the dark night.
Yi Bai originally wanted to go farther away to avoid the watchman.
The watchman noticed Yi Bai with sharp eyes and hurriedly stepped forward.
"Sir, why are you here in the middle of the night?"
The watchman asked with concern.
"When I don't sleep at night, I just walk outside."
Yi Bai answered casually.
"Sir, are you troubled by local gangsters? If so, you can sue the county magistrate, and the county magistrate will definitely seek justice for you."
The watchman asked, warm and hospitable.
"No problem, no problem!"
Yi Bai was about to leave, but suddenly he stopped, looked back at the watchman, and asked, "What did you just say?"
"Me? I said, if you are troubled and can't sleep, you can sue the county magistrate, and the county magistrate will definitely seek justice for you!"
"Sue!"
Yi Bai's eyes lit up.
This matter was difficult for him to handle. It was too troublesome to let the entire county know about it, to let the county magistrate, who was destined to be a human dynasty, die, and to solve the epidemic in the county.
He can't solve it.
The city god of Huai County can't solve it.
He can file a complaint!
Yi Bai didn't forget that he was the God of Destiny, so there was no problem in suing the magistrate of a county in the human world.
It may be harder to sue God.
It is still possible to file a lawsuit to the ground.
Yi Bai was busy walking back towards the Chenghuang Temple.
"Sir, if you want to file a complaint, you should go to the official office, not over there, not over there!"
The caller was in a hurry.
Yi Bai ignored it and hurried to the Chenghuang Temple.
…
Cup of tea.
Yi Bai came to the main hall of Chenghuang Temple again.
"Complaint?"
The City God looked troubled.
"What, is there something wrong?"
Yi Bai asked.
"Chen Shen, I have written a lot of petitions on weekdays, but I am a soft-spoken person. I can't even get past those brats, so how can I hand them over to Lord Yan."
City God shook his head and said.
"Is there such a thing?"
Yi Bai looked strange.
The more he got to know him, the more he felt that Huang Chenghuang of Jiangshui County was so powerful that he could actually meet Yama.
"That's the case. If you want to sue, you really can't do it if you don't have any ability."
The city god said so.
"Let me give it a try!"
Yi Bai didn't believe in evil and spoke.
He planned to try it himself. If it really didn't work, he would go back to Jiangshui County and ask Huang Chenghuang for help.
Upon hearing this, the City God said nothing more. He took out a pen and paper and asked Yi Bai to write.
Yi Bai sat in front of the case and started writing.
He thought for a while and then started writing on the paper.
'Your Majesty, Mr. Yan, the little demon is a dragon's ear from Shuanglongjiang, Dongjie County, Yangshi. Now I happened to visit Huai County, Chu County, Yangshi. I learned that Chen De, the magistrate of this county, has done many evil things...'
Yi Bai finished writing the petition and roughly wrote down the situation of the county. When writing the document, he thought about it for a while, took out the brown orb, placed it on it, and imprinted the aura of Chen position authority into it.
"Excuse me, City God, please submit it for me!"
Yi Bai handed the paper to the City God.
"Chen Shen, is this really possible?"
The city god hesitated.
"It doesn't hurt to try!"
Yi Bai said.
The city god had no choice but to agree and send an official to deliver the paper to the underworld.
The official took the order and took action quickly.
After seeing the paper being handed over, Yi Bai started chatting with the City God and planned to leave the City God's Temple after dawn.
"City God, how long does it usually take for a complaint to go to Lord Yan?"
Yi Bai asked.
"If you have the power to reach heaven, you can let those brats go, it only takes half a month!"
City God replied.
Yi Bai nodded and continued chatting with the City God.
They chatted for an hour.
Through small talk, Yi Bai roughly knew the temperament of the City God.
The Chenghuang here is more than gentle, but not hard enough. He is more popular and honest.
It should be done by the City God, no less. It should not be done by the City God, not at all.
Yibai has not commented.
He was about to leave the City God's Temple when it was getting dark.
The city god sent him off.
The two walked out of the Chenghuang Temple in tandem.
As soon as they walked out of the Chenghuang Temple, exclamations suddenly sounded from afar, one after another, suddenly bringing the silent county town to life.
"It's not good, it's not good! The county master is dead!"
"How is this possible? How could the county master be dead!"
"Damn it, Mr. County Master. Several of us folks originally wanted to visit the County Master, but we didn't expect that the County Master passed away. In front of the County Master, there was a booklet. Do you know what was written in the book? It was all the work of the County Master. Because, it turns out that the epidemic that has always existed in our county was caused by this damn county magistrate, and Liang Ze was also wrongly accused..."
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu My husband died of Yiji, and I want to seek justice..."
There are all kinds of sounds.
Yi Bai was stunned.
How could it come so suddenly.
He submitted a paper to sue the county magistrate. After more than an hour, the county magistrate died suddenly, and all the evidence of the crime was placed in front of the villagers.
"Let's go, Chenshen, come back with me."
The city god was not surprised, his old face was full of doubts, and he pulled Yi Bai back.
Yi Bai did not refuse and returned to the Chenghuang Temple.
…
Return to the main hall.
Yi Bai still couldn't figure it out.
However, the City God asked someone to summon the official who delivered the paper.
As soon as the official entered the palace, he spoke with great joy and said: "City God, I'm so happy, so happy! I handed the complaint to the underworld. I never thought that no imp would block my way along the way, and I went straight to the deep palace of Yama to meet Yama. Sir, Lord Yan saw my petition, took it away, and handed it over to the emperor, saying that the result would be there soon!"
The City God looked strange and asked, "Did you just come back?"
Gong Gong nodded: "Of course, I will come back as soon as possible."
The City God was silent. He submitted the petition, but he couldn't even pass the kid's test. It was rejected repeatedly. Since taking office, he has never successfully submitted the petition. Why did Chen Shen submit it here? He went all the way without blocking it. He handed it over within an hour. solved.
The city god was wondering.
Yi Bai was also wondering.
As soon as he heard what Gongzhao said, how could he not know that it was the Dongyue Emperor who helped him? It seems that Emperor Dongyue had always taken good care of him since he tested his desire for martial arts.
He will always remember this kindness in his heart.
If he can go to heaven and be among the immortals one day, and when he has the chance to repay his kindness, he will definitely repay Emperor Dongyue's kindness...
