Chapter 47 Land Judgment

Lingyang Zhuerdan has a bold personality, but his qualifications are stupid. Although he studies hard, he has never been distinguished. On this day, I drank with my friends and was half drunk. Someone joked, "Brother Zhu, I've heard that you are very bold. If you dare to go to the Ten Kings Hall late at night and carry back the statue of the judge, I will treat you to dinner."

Jourdan smiled and said, "It's a small matter. It's a piece of work." After saying that, Yang Chang went out.

The Ten Kings Hall is located in the eastern suburbs. There are many statues of Yan Jun's little ghosts carved with wood. Among them, there is a green face, red beard and a ferocious face, which is the statue of the judge.

Not long after, Zhu Erdan shouted outside the door, "Everyone, I have invited the long-beard master back." The students entered the room. As soon as they saw the judge's face, they all huddled and said, "Send it back quickly, send it back quickly."

Zhu Erdan sprinkled wine on the ground and apologized to the judge: "The student is arrogant and unrestrained. Please don't blame the master. The cold house is not far from here. If the immortals do not give up, you can come and drink a few glasses of thin wine at any time. Don't refuse with human beings and gods."

The next night, Juldan went out to have a banquet with his friends. When he returned home, there was one more person in the room. He stared at it. It was the judge who was shocked and said, "Oh, it seems that I'm going to die." I offended the fairy last night. You came to settle accounts with me tonight, didn't you?

The judge touched his beard and smiled, "It's not. Last night, the prince was invited attentively. At the moment, he was just free, so he came to go on a date. Do you have any wine?

Jourdan said, "Yes, I'll make a fire and blanch the wine."

The judge said, "Don't bother. It's warm and you can have a cold drink."

Juldan Nono promised, "Yes, yes, fairy, please sit down for a moment. I'll tell my wife to prepare wine and vegetables."

After a while, the wine and vegetables were served, and one person and one ghost pushed the cup to change the cup. Zhu Erdan asked, "What's your surname is Xianchang?"

The judge said, "My surname is Lu. I don't have a name. Call me Judge Lu."

Zhu Erdan asked, "The immortal chief is in charge of hell, and his knowledge must be extraordinary. Can he know eight-part articles?"

Judge Lu said, "The writing in the underworld is similar to Yang Shi, and the article can still be divided into good and bad."

The two talked and said that Judge Lu drank a lot of alcohol and drank more than ten glasses of spirits without changing his face. Juldan couldn't beat him, and he soon got drunk. When he woke up, Judge Lu had already left.

Since then, every two or three days, the mainland judge will come to drink papers, talk and laugh, and sleep with Juldan when he is drunk. Zhu Erdan took out the article and asked Judge Lu for advice. Judge Lu circled the inappropriate points with a red pen and shook his head and said, "The level is very bad. It's terrible."

This night, Zhu Erdan suddenly felt abdominal pain in his sleep. He was shocked and woke up. Judge Lu sat in front of him, cut open his stomach, took out his stomach, combed it one by one, and asked, "I have no grudge against Xianchang. Why did you kill me?"

Judge Lu smiled and said, "Don't be afraid. I'm changing my mind for you." While talking, gather the wounds one by one and tie them up with a rope.

Juldan saw a bloody thing in his hand and asked, "What is this?"

Judge Lu said, "This is the prince's original heart. The prince is not agile enough, and his mind is blocked. I have selected the best one from thousands of people's hearts in the underworld to replace it for you. If you write an article in the future, you will be able to do it with your hands.

After changing his heart, Zhu Erdan became full of ideas and never forgot it. This night, Judge Lu came to visit again. Juerdan took out his new eight-part article for Judge Lu to watch. Judge Lu read it carefully and said, "The article is well written, but the prince is blessed. He is not destined not to be rich. Only I can win a person."

Jourdan asked, "When will you win the lift?"

Judge Lu said, "In this year's scientific examination, you must be able to get the title of the gold list."

Soon after the backyard examination began, Zhu Erdan won the first place in the exam, and in the next township examination, he also won the first place.

This night, Judge Lu came to have a banquet again. During the banquet, Zhu Erdan begged, "A while ago, Meng Xianchang changed his heart and benefited a lot. At present, there is one more thing for your trouble. I don't know if you can agree."

Judge Lu said, "What's the matter? Let's talk about it."

Zhu Erdan said, "Since the immortal can change his mind, I don't know if I can change my head? My wife has a good figure, but her eyebrows are not beautiful enough. I want to trouble Xian Chang to use a knife and axe. What do you think?

Judge Lu said, "No problem, but it's rare. Let me figure it out slowly."

A few days later, Judge Lu knocked on the door in the middle of the night, holding a package in his hand, and said, "The last time I told me that it was not easy to find. Today, I finally found a beautiful head to fulfill my promise." As he spoke, he opened the package and saw a woman's head in it, with exquisite facial features and beautiful appearance.

Zhu Erdan was overjoyed. He led the way in front and came to his wife's room. The door was closed and the door was tarded from the inside. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't open it. Judge Lu smiled and said, "Let me do it." His palms were vigorous, and he gently pressed on the door panel, and the door opened. He walked into the room, lit the candle, and looked at it through the candlelight. His wife was still asleep and looked peaceful.

Judge Lu walked to the bedside, took out a dagger from his boots, and gently cut it on Zhu's wife's neck, such as cutting tofu, and his head fell down. Then he was not in a hurry. He took out the beauty's head and changed it again, corrected it in detail, matched the position, and smiled, "Yes, find a place to hide your wife's old head. I'll say goodbye."

The next morning, my wife woke up from a dream and felt that her neck was sore and numb, and her cheeks were very sticky and uncomfortable. When she touched it with her hand, it was all coagulated blood. She couldn't help but be shocked. It happened that the maid came to wash her face with water, and a basin of water turned bright red. Looking in the mirror, the people in the mirror are picturesque, as beautiful as a fairy. How can they be the original self?

So who owns this new head?

It turned out that Wu Yushi had a daughter with a beautiful appearance. She was nineteen years old. On the day of the Lantern Festival, she went to the Ten Kings Hall to play. Tourists gathered together, and there was a scoundrel inside. She coveted Miss Wu's beauty. She secretly inquired about her residence and turned over in the night. The wall sneaked into Miss Wu's boudoir with the intention of humiliating. Miss Wu resisted, annoyed the scoundrel, and was cut off her head with a knife.

When the bad news came, the family was heartbroken. They hurriedly collected the body, held a funeral, and ordered the maid to guard the mourning hall. Who would have thought that the next day would be tomorrow, but found that the lady's head disappeared. Naturally, it was taken away by the judge Lu.

The family did not know and sued the government. The county magistrate sent a government official to capture the murderer. Three months later, the case made no progress. Soon after, the news that Zhu Erdan's wife had changed her head came to Wu Yushi's ears. Wu Yushi was furious and came to Zhu Erdan to argue. Zhu Erdan defended, "My wife's head was changed in her sleep. I really don't know what's going on. The adult falsely accused me of killing your daughter. Isn't that a good man?

Wu Yushi didn't believe it and went to the public court. The county magistrate was also embarrassed in every way and could not make a decision. Juldan got into a lawsuit and had to ask Judge Lu for help. Judge Lu smiled and said, "This is not difficult. I'll let Miss Wu explain the truth by herself."

This night, Wu Yushi saw his daughter coming in his sleep and said, "The child was killed by Suxi Yang Danian, and he has nothing to do with Mr. Zhu. Mr. Zhu disliked his wife's ugly appearance, so Judge Lu exchanged his daughter's head with Zhu's wife. Now that although his daughter is dead, her head is still alive, please don't embarrass the Zhu family.

When Oer woke up, Wu Yushi discussed countermeasures with his wife. His wife also had the same dream. The two did not dare to neglect it. They hurriedly told the county magistrate about the dream. The county magistrate sent his men to immediately capture Li Danian and bring Li Danian to justice. After an interrogation, Li Danian pleaded guilty.

In the future, the days were calm. Zhu Erdan went to Beijing three times to participate in the test, but he failed three times, so he was disheartened. Thirty years later, Judge Lu said to him, "The prince's life is over, and he will die soon."

"When will you die?"

"Five days later."

"Is there any help?"

"It is destined, how can it be changed? In the eyes of open-minded people, life and death are only a cycle. How can life be happy? How can you be afraid of death?

Jourdan nodded and said, "Xianchang is reasonable." So I bought a coffin and birthday clothes and took good time to deal with the afterth.

Five days later, Zhu Erdan really died. His wife was guarding the spirit at home. As she was crying, Mr. Zhu's soul floated in. His wife was frightened and asked, "Your husband, are you a ghost?"

Jourdan said, "I'm really a ghost, but it's no different from when I was alive. I miss you orphans and widows, so I miss you so much.

"In ancient times, there was still a saying that the soul was returned. Since the soul of the prime minister had not been destroyed, why didn't he give birth to the sun?"

"God's will cannot be violated."

"What is the position of the husband in the underworld?"

"Judge Lu recommended me to be in charge of the documents and have an official title. My wife doesn't have to worry about me."

"Where is Lu Xianchang? Is he here too?"

"Yes, Judge Lu came with me. Prepare the wine and vegetables quickly."

The wife wiped away her tears and went to the kitchen to work. Soon she prepared a banquet. She only heard the husband in the room drinking with Judge Lu. She laughed loudly, just like before she was alive. After midnight, her voice stopped. Both of them left without saying goodbye and left quietly.

After three or five days, Juldan will go home, and sometimes he will sleep in the same bed with his wife, do housework by the way, and teach his son to study.

Zhu Wei, his son, is five years old, smart and enlightened. At the age of nine, he became a scholar at the age of fifteen. Every time he played with his father, he was hidden in the drum. He did not know how long he had been dead.

This night, Juldan came to say goodbye to his wife and said, "I'm leaving. From now on, we will never see each other again."

The wife asked, "Where are you going?"

Zhu Erdan said, "The Jade Emperor made me Taihuaqing, in charge of Xiyue Huashan, and I will take office soon. The official business is busy and the road is far away. I can't come back in the future.

When his wife heard this, she couldn't help crying. Zhu Erdan comforted him, "Don't do this! The son has grown up and his family is rich and healthy. How can there be a couple in the world that will not be separated for a hundred years?

He also said to Zhu Wei, "Be a good person and don't waste your studies. In ten years, you and I will see you again. After saying that, I took a big step.

Later, when Zhu Wei was 25 years old, he was admitted to the entrance examination and was ordered to Huashan to sacrifice. When he passed by Huayin, a large group of people suddenly rushed in. There was a luxury carriage in it. There was a man sitting in the car. It was Juerdan.

When the father and son met, they had their own warmth. Zhu Erdan said, "My son has a good reputation as an official. He can close his eyes for his father." He turned around and wanted to leave. Before parting, he took off a knife and gave it to Zhu Wei. He said, "Wear this knife to protect you from wealth."

Zhu Wei drew a knife and stared at it. He saw that the workmanship was excellent, with a line of small words engraved on it: "The boldness is big but the heart is small, and the wisdom is round and the action is square."

Later, Zhu Weiguan came to Sima and gave birth to five sons, which were named Shen Qianhun deep in turn. This night, Zhu Erdan came to dream, "The knife should be given to Zhu Hun, and this grandson will have a good future."

Zhu Erdan expected it well. Later, Zhu Hun grew up, became an official to the general constitution, and made great achievements.
