This ghost garden is not a good place.
The name sounds like a mansion, but it is not.
There are only walls engraved with dense runes on all sides, and a majestic door beam. There are no houses in the courtyard.
Directly opposite the door is a screen wall with a coiled dragon engraved on it.
There is a Qilin-patterned chair on the steps built in front of the screen wall, and two more chairs are placed on the flat ground on both sides of the chair.
In the past, during interrogations, either the chief minister of Tianshu Mansion or a high-ranking official like Su Zhongle would sit in the middle.
And those on both sides are always empty.
It is unknown what kind of distribution and seating arrangement this was in the past. Anyway, since Su Zhongle took over the affairs of Tianshu Mansion, only the position of chief judge was allowed.
Whenever a case needs to be heard by the Tianshu Mansion, if it is handed over to one person for trial, only one person will make the decision. Others, no matter what their status and identity, cannot say a word.
This is also the rule set by Su Zhongle.
Three steps away from the screen wall, a platform was built that was as high as the calf. This was where the boys who were awaiting trial were tried.
Although the stage is not big, it can accommodate ten or eight people to be interrogated on it.
There is a clay statue on the round platform in the four directions of southeast, northwest and northwest.
It's gray and has a ghostly appearance. I can't tell what it is. All in all, it's very scary.
Regardless of whether your crime has been confirmed or is still full of doubts, since you have come to this ghost garden, you should be treated as a criminal.
Therefore, there is another mystery behind the stage to torture and make things difficult.
Under the platform, there are several empty nests for storing ice or lighting fires.
You have to go barefoot on the interrogation stage. If it is summer, there will be a dedicated servant responsible for lighting a fire in the empty nest.
If it were winter, there would be a special boy in black writing ice runes, making the table so cold that the bones would go numb.
At this moment, it was just Du Heng who was kneeling pitifully on the stage where the fire was raging.
How pitiful!
It was already a scorching hot weather, and it was steaming with fire. Although the table was not yet completely warm, it was still unbearably painful.
Su Zhongle was sitting under the screen wall. Although he never looked at Du Heng, the boy was already too frightened to speak out, let alone look up.
In the courtyard, the tall old trees were just shaking their leaves, and the birds were just rising and falling, paying no attention to the grievances and entanglements between these gods, monsters, and ghosts, and were just busy with their own affairs.
Just then, the shadow of the locust tree on the blue-tiled roof is dim, half exposed to the summer wind and half illuminated by the sun.
The heat of three thousand feet burned the clouds in the sky red, and the unyielding heat wave made Du Heng dizzy.
It would be better to just stab him to death with a knife!
Besides, when Jiu Mu rushed to Tianshu Mansion in a hurry, Su Heling was taking Eucommia and Juniper, two other soul-calling ghosts and Su Ma, who was in charge of medicine, to the west corner gate of Tianshu Mansion.
Su Heling saluted Jiu Mu.
But Jiumu was only thinking about Du Heng's safety and couldn't see anyone else, so he rushed into the house without paying any attention.
Jiu Mu is a little strange today. There is a kind of wind in his body. I can't tell what it feels like. In short, it is completely different from usual.
He no longer looks like that reckless boy without any magical power.
Looking from a distance, he has the demeanor of a great commander.
The boys who were busy with errands couldn't help being shocked and stared blankly.
Yuan Yaoling was talking to the boy in white in charge of the barrier when he suddenly felt a powerful spiritual power rushing into the Tianshu Mansion, and the copper bell bracelet on his wrist also jumped.
Standing in the corridor, she looked up and looked in the direction where the spiritual energy was coming, and it happened to be from the direction of Jiumu.
Yuan Yaoling was secretly surprised, and hurriedly took out a burst of spiritual power in his hand, and chased after him to find out the root cause.
Who would have thought that the spiritual power he was chasing was absorbed by that brat Jiumu!
"Is it possible that he has enlightened himself?" Yuan Yaoling wondered.
Although he was a little happy for this brat, Yuan Yaoling still had a cold face and a serious expression. I said a few words to the young man in white and asked him to step back.
Just as he was about to return to Tianxuan Courtyard with his skirt in hand, he saw Su Heling and a group of demigods heading towards Guisuyuan.
Yuan Yaoling turned around and entered the main entrance of Tianxuan Courtyard, then walked into the main hall unhurriedly.
Da Siming was looking through the papers on the desk at the desk.
Yuan Yaoling stood carefully next to Da Siming, looked at him, and quickly asked the boy in pink to change the tea.
After that, he served respectfully and waited for the mission.
"Why, it's okay to say whatever you have to say." Da Siming saw through Yuan Yaoling's thoughts, closed the book he was looking at, and asked in a gentle tone.
"Master Su Zhongle once again set up an interrogation stage in Guisu Garden."
"For what?"
"It turns out that the Jiangxue magic medicine was lost in Dong Xi's mansion, and Du Heng was suspected."
"Who is on the jury?" Da Siming asked again.
"Su Heling, the steward of Dongxi Mansion, is there."
"It's just a bunch of stewards from a few houses, let them fight over it."
Yuan Yaoling pondered for a moment before replying calmly, "Just now I saw Jiumu heading towards Kangsu Garden."
Upon hearing this, Da Siming, who was holding the book in his hand, was stunned for a moment, and thought to himself, "At this hour, it is not the time that Jiumu can come back, so why is it so fast today?"
He picked up the tea again, but didn't take a sip. He thought about it for a long time, then got up and headed towards the Guisu Garden.
Let's say that Jiumu arrived at Kangsu Garden and saw that there was no one in the courtyard, so he swaggered into the main hall.
The smoke of moxa incense rises from the silver sachet with deer and bird patterns hanging in front of the hall, and there is a cup of tea that has bottomed out on the desk.
There were no other people around.
Seeing this scene, Jiumu knew that it was the young boy who had tricked him just now!
Judging from the tranquility in this room, it doesn't look like there is any execution.
He leaned towards the side room and took a look. The door to the side room was all closed and there was no sound.
So Jiumu didn't sit in the main hall for a long time, got up and went back to his own Kaiyang Garden.
All the way, Jiu Mu was worried about Du Heng's affairs, so Jiumu didn't think carefully about why he suddenly had a supernatural power.
Now that the stone in my heart has fallen, I have the time to think about it.
After walking for more than a hundred steps on the Chaoshou corridor, there was a water reservoir at the corner.
There are lotus leaves holding lotus flowers inside, and red fish are playing near the water.
Jiumu pointed casually, and as expected, he thought of a boat, and a small boat immediately appeared on the water.
Seeing this situation, Jiumu couldn't help but laugh and secretly rejoiced. He really had an idea!
"God is God. It's easy to raise the level of God, and it doesn't take much effort."
Jiumu was complacent for a moment, he was only complacent and did not look at the road ahead, and almost collided with Su Mu who was rushing over.
"Be careful if you fall into the pool." Su Mu teased, with some concern and warning in his tone.
"Why is there not a single ghost in your courtyard?" Jiumu asked with a smile.
Su Mu was not a troublesome person. He only responded with a smile and hurried away.
As soon as he returned to his room, Jiumu forgot about Du Heng and the boy on the boat.
He took a piece of fruit from the table in front of the hall, held it in his hand, and started eating it.
Sitting next to the window, Jiumu raised his hand and pointed, muttering "The wind is blowing".
This kid tested his second level of divine power again.
Sure enough, there was no need to spell or borrow any runes or spells. As long as I thought of it in my heart, a strong wind started outside the window.
Although this kid is proud, Du Heng in Kangsu Garden is really suffering.
This Jiu Mu really needs to be dealt with...
Although it was approaching evening, it was still very hot.
It was the time when the fire under the interrogation stage was raging.
Suddenly another gust of wind came, making the fire even stronger!
Heat was rising continuously from the ground, giving Du Heng a headache and nausea.
Fortunately, he still had the bit of divine blood given to him by Jiumu, otherwise he would have been roasted long ago just with his poor cultivation.
Of course, Su Zhongle also noticed the difference between the fire mark on Du Heng's forehead and that of the boy next to him.
This fire seal was originally sealed by Su Zhongle himself, but now something strange happened, which made her even more confused.
This situation forced Su Zhongle to suspect that Du Heng had really stolen Jiangxue's magic medicine.
Different is a monster. We haven't seen each other for a few days. The guy in front of me is no longer the timid and useless boy he used to be. He only knows how to worry and be afraid.
Thinking of this, Su Zhongle felt a fire in his heart.
If he really stole Jiangxue's magic medicine, it would be useless for anyone to ask for it! It wouldn't be a pity to die a thousand or ten thousand times for doing such a shameful thing.
Just as he was thinking about it, Su and Ling entered the Ghost Garden.
Su Zhongle only glanced at those guys and didn't dare to raise their heads.
In addition to Su Heling, Eucommia ulmoides, Juniper, Su Ma, and two other spiritual ghosts went directly to the interrogation table and knelt down.
Su Heling stood on Su Zhongle's right side without saying a word.
The few people on the interrogation table were naturally shocked by the atmosphere in this haunted garden. They all lowered their heads and did not dare to express their anger.
As soon as they went up and waited for a cup of tea, Eucommia and the others were already dizzy.
Even a demigod like Su Ma started to have big beads of sweat rolling down his head.
By comparison, Du Heng seems more calm and relaxed.
The fire under the interrogation stage was so intense, just to make the guys on trial tell the truth as soon as possible.
Therefore, ordinary little ghosts and demons cannot survive for a minute and a half.
Du Heng didn't have much magical power, but to be able to survive like this, it seemed that he was indeed worthy of a good trial.
Just when Su Zhongle was about to ask this question, Da Siming and Yuan Yaoling were entering the Ghost Garden.
When Su Heling saw him, he hurriedly saluted respectfully.
Because Su Zhongle was already sitting in the main seat of the interrogation, and she had the highest status in this ghost garden, she just glanced at Da Siming and nodded slightly as a sign of respect.
Su Heling hurriedly moved to Su Zhongle's left side, while Da Si Ming, accompanied by Yuan Yaoling, stood on Su Zhongle's right side.
"I've just finished my ugly words. The big commander is here today. If any of you shameless guys dare to tell a lie, not even your relatives or relatives will be able to live anymore! "Su Zhongle stared at the guys in the audience and warned.
After hearing this, Du Zhong lowered his head even lower.
Juniper was so scared that his whole body was trembling, let alone those two miscellaneous spiritualists.
