I am a judge in the Tang Dynasty - #78 - Chapter 78

Approaching noon.

Lin Xiu, Zhong Kui, Zhao Sheng and the others just came to Lantian County.

As soon as we entered the city, we saw many people heading towards the City God’s Temple.

I only saw the Chenghuang Temple in the county town, which was worshiped by the people.

After last night’s troubles, the statue of Nama City God has changed.

When Lin Xiu and the others also arrived in front of the temple gate.

The statue’s head actually fell from its body.

Many people didn’t know what was going on and were talking endlessly.

Some devout people even knelt on the ground and frequently bowed their heads and confessed their sins.

“Huh, stupid people, why do you need to confess to that damn Ma Chenghuang? Go tell them!”

Zhong Kui couldn’t stand it anymore and was about to go over and talk to the people.

However, he was stopped by Lin Xiu.

“The people are pious, and the Ma City God has long been ingrained in their hearts. Even if you give evidence of his crime, it will not help. Instead, you will be angered by the people. Let nature take its course, and wait for the Lord of Hell to find a new City God. After taking office, everything will return to normal!”

Zhong Kui stared, although there was still some fire in his heart.

But after hearing Lin Xiu’s words, he had no intention of arguing with the people.

If they are willing to worship, let them worship.

Why break the beauty in their hearts?

“Zhao Sheng, go and find out where old Qin Lan lives! Lin Xiu turned around and said

“Yes, my lord!”

Zhao Sheng bowed and saluted, and hurriedly walked towards the neighborhood.

After asking several people in succession, Zhao Sheng came back in a hurry

“Sir, I have already heard that it is not far ahead!”Zhao Sheng said.

So, instead of riding, everyone led the horses towards Qin Lan’s house.

It was not difficult to find. After passing through a street, they saw several dilapidated earthen houses.

Among them were Several rooms have long been uninhabited. Only one has a white lantern and a bunch of paper money hanging in front of the door.

Obviously, this is the case because there has just been a funeral in the family.

“It should be this one, go ahead and call the door! Lin Xiu said

“Wait, sir, shouldn’t we buy some food? Isn’t it bad to have empty hands?”Zhong Kui quickly stopped him.

“You idiot, when did I say I would send food to their family? Lin Xiu said with a helpless smile.

“This… was said by Zhao Sheng and Li Si!” Only then did Zhong Kui react suddenly.

He saw that Zhao Sheng and Li Si were almost laughing.

Bang bang bang!

After a few knocks on the door, an old voice was heard coming from inside.

“Who!”

“We are the official messengers of the Magistrate’s Palace in Chang’an City. My lords are here to pay a special visit. I hope I will open the door!”Zhao Sheng said very politely outside.

Suddenly, there was no movement inside.

It took a long time before I heard a sound of tapping on the road.

Apparently, Qin Lan’s father had weak legs and it was difficult to walk.

After a while, the dilapidated wooden door was opened from the inside, and a haggard and dissatisfied old man looked out.

His hair was now gray, his eyes were dull and silky, and there were still tears in the corners of his eyes. She was wiped clean.

It can be seen that since the death of his daughter, the old man has been crying at home every day.

If this continues, he will probably lose his sight in a short time.

“Old… little old, I have met the adults!”

As soon as he bowed and saluted, Lin Xiu walked up to him with two big steps and helped him up.

“You don’t have to be like this, old man, please get up quickly! Lin Xiu said

“Thank you, thank you sir!”The old man said feebly.

Lin Xiu smiled and nodded:”I already know what happened in your family. I came here to pay my respects today. May I ask if Qin Lan has not been buried yet?”

I had heard Qin Lan say this before.

Because he was the only one in the family, and he was old and in poor health.

It had been three or four days since his death, and his body was still at home without being buried.

When he heard Lin Xiu’s words, The old man was obviously shocked.

Because his daughter died suddenly, the old man did not publicize it and his family was poor and could not even afford a coffin.

The body was not buried at home for a long time. There is a saying that the corpse can be buried for seven days after the soul of the deceased has returned.

“Big, my lord……”

As soon as he said this, the old man couldn’t help but tears flowed down again.

Lin Xiu had no choice but to continue to persuade him.

It took a long time for the old man to stop feeling sad.

“This little old man is really rude. I haven’t invited you into the house yet. It’s just that the house is really dilapidated. I hope you won’t find it objectionable!

Lin Xiu nodded and walked into the house.

After entering, Lin Xiu realized that this place was more than dilapidated.

There were only two rooms in total, one of which should be occupied by the old man.

The other room was The house where Qin Lan lived before his death had no wooden tables, desks, or stools, only two broken wooden pillars from unknown sources, and they were all polished and shiny, reflecting the light.

Lan’s body was resting on a board built with several wooden pillars.

Although it had been dead for three or four days, it was not rotten and had no odor.

It looked as if it was sleeping. Lin Xiu knew that Qin Lan should not die, and he still harbored resentment in his heart.

According to legend, only people with injustice in their hearts would do this, but after he was buried, he was buried in the coffin. After burying it, he will spit out his resentment.

“.This is the little girl Qin Lan, who was twenty-one years old. Unfortunately, she passed away early.……”The old man looked at his daughter’s body and couldn’t help crying again.

Lin Xiu comforted him:”Don’t be sad, old man. I see that Qin Lan is not dead!”

“ah?”

When the old man heard this, he was obviously shocked.

“Sir, little girl, my little girl has lost her breath, how could she not die?”

“Haha, to be honest with you, I have learned some techniques from experts. You can judge the yin and yang of her body. Although this woman’s breath has been cut off, she is not really dead. If I am not mistaken, she is a fake death ( What a sign of Wang Wang Zhao)! Lin Xiu said

“This… Sir, is this true?”The old man’s sad face finally showed a look of joy.

Lin Xiu smiled and nodded:”Whether it is true or not, you will know once you try it!”

After saying this, Lin Xiu took out the Sun-Returning Grass from his arms.

He ordered Zhao Sheng to open Qin Lan’s mouth, and gently put a leaf of the Sun-Returning Grass in.

Lin Xiu was at the side, pinching

The others, especially Qin Lan’s father, stared at him with wide eyes.

After a while, Lin Xiu opened his eyes.

“Qin Lan, the ghost in the dark, must return to the sun soon, when will he wait?”

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt that the room suddenly became extremely cold.

And Lin Xiu heard a faint female voice coming from his ears:”Thank you, sir!”

The next moment, Qin Lan’s body, which was lying there motionless, trembled slightly, and then his beautiful eyes slowly opened.
