Liaozhai Ghost Story

Chapter 250 Fraud Examination

Wen Life, a native of Henan, was sick in bed for many days. On this day, he was in bed to recuperate. He saw a scholar walk into the house, knelt down and salute, and said, "Please come out. I have something to say." When the two came outside the house, Xiucai took Wen's arm and walked while chatting. He unconsciously walked more than a miles away. Wen Life stopped and said goodbye. Xiucai said, "Sir, don't go. I have something to ask for."

Wensheng asked, "What's the matter?" Xiucai said, "To be honest, I am a scribe of the underworld, under the jurisdiction of the 'disrupt department'. The name of the master is 'virtual belly ghost king'. This person has a quirk. Anyone who meets him for the first time will cut off a piece of meat on his thigh as a gift. I don't want to cut meat, so I want to ask my husband to plead for me. Wensheng asked, "What crime has a friend committed to suffer such torture?" Xiucai said, "I didn't commit a crime. This is the personal rule of the Ghost King, which has always been like this. The only way to avoid punishment is to bribe, but in the next poor world, you really can't take out the silver.

Wen said, "I don't know the ghost king. Even if I'm willing to plead for mercy, it's useless." Xiucai said, "My husband was an elder of the ghost king in his previous life. He may listen to what you say."

While talking, the two came to a city and went to an official office. The platform was not very grand. There was only a lobby, which was extremely wide. On the east and west sides of the hall, there was a stone tablet with a big green character on it. On one side it was written "filial piety and loyalty letter", and on the other side it was written "courtesy, righteousness and shame".

When Wen Jinsheng stepped into the hall, he saw a plaque hanging on his head with the words "examination of corruption". On the two sides of the columns, there is a pair of couplets engraved. The upper couplet is: school, preface, and the two words, the two words are yin and yin; the couplet is: sergeant, sergeant, corporal, a salute and a ghost.

Wen Life is watching the couplet. An official stepped out, with curly hair and a hunchback, his nostrils facing the sky, his lips are turned out, and his forehead is covered with wrinkles. He is not as old as two hundred, but also one hundred. The official was next to a judge, a tiger-headed person, followed by more than a dozen ghosts, all of whom were ferocious.

Xiucai whispered: "This is the ghost king." Wen Sheng was terrify and wanted to escape. The ghost king had already seen it and stopped him with a voice. He respectfully invited Wen into the room, booed and asked warmly, and his words were very polite. Finally, he asked, "How did you get here?" Wen Life said, "I'll plead for the talent." The ghost king changed his color when he heard the words and said, "Cut meat on your thighs. This is the old example. Even if my own father comes, he can't change it." Seeing that he was in awe-inspiring and inviolable, he didn't dare to persuade him again. He immediately left. The ghost king personally saw him off and sent him all the way to the door.

Wen Life waited for the ghost king to leave, and secretly dived under the lobby to observe the movement. I only saw Xiucai and several scholars, with their hands tied behind their backs, and they were not free. A ghost took a sharp knife in his hand, pierced the Xiucai's clothes and trousers, waved the sharp knife, and cut off a muscle on the Xiucai's thigh. The scholar shouted in pain.

Hearing the situation of life, he was full of anger and shouted, "So cruel, is there any king's law?" The ghost king was shocked and waved, "Don't be busy cutting meat." Looking at Wen, he smiled and said, "Sir, what advice do you have?" Wen said with hatred, "If you are so careless about people's lives, I want to complain to the Jade Emperor." After saying that, he turned around and came out.

When I came outside, I asked passers-by about the residence of the Jade Emperor. Someone laughed and said, "Your Excellency is really pedantic. How can there be a Jade Emperor in the Yin Division? Even if you complain, you should find Pluto. While speaking, the other hand indicates the path.

According to the guidance of passers-by, I came to the Senluo Hall. I saw that the hall was solemn and magnificent. There was a king sitting at the top, full of righteousness. When I heard that someone saw this person, I didn't need to ask. Judging from his temperament alone, I knew that he was undoubtedly Pluto. He immediately knelt on the ground and shouted injustice.

Pluto interrogated the case in detail. When he learned that the ghost king was doing evil, his face looked angry and ordered, "Left and right, quickly capture the ghost king here." The two ghosts took the order. After a while, the ghost king, wearing shackles, came to the Senluo Hall under the ghost's drive. Pluto scolded, "Bold Ghost King, I pity you for studying hard all your life and entrust you with a heavy responsibility. Who knows that you are arrogant and domineering and ignore the law and discipline. It's really hateful. Come on, pick the ghost king's 'good tendons', add 'evil bones', and punish him for life and never be an official.

The ghost suddenly agreed, took out a copper hammer, and knocked the ghost king to the ground with a hammer. There was a scream. The ghost king opened his lips and spit out a mouthful of blood, mixed with several teeth in the blood, which was bright red and dazzling. The ghost had no expression on his face. He took out a knife, cut the ghost king's finger, and pulled out a small meridians, which were as bright as silk. The ghost king shouted pain and sounded like killing pigs. The ghost was proficient in his hands and feet. After pumping his fingers and veins, he twitched his toes. He had been twitching for half an hour before he finished it.

After the execution, the ghost sent the ghost king to prison. Wen Life kowtowed to thank him, got up and left, and the scholar then followed. The two walked through the street and passed by a door. The embroidered curtain was lowered in the door, and a woman in the curtain was beautiful and gorgeous. Wensheng asked, "Where is this?" Xiucai said, "This is a brothel."

The two of them said and left. Hearing that they couldn't forget the beauty of life, they looked back frequently, stopped and said, "Send you thousands of miles, and finally you have to say goodbye. Friends don't have to send it anymore. Let's go. Xiucai said, "I came here with my husband, and now I let you go back alone. How can I bear it?"

Hearing that life persisted again and again, the scholar couldn't, so he had to leave. Seeing that the scholar went far away, she hurried into the embroidered curtain. The woman greeted her with a smile and was overjoyed. The two had their own names, and the woman said, "The surname is Liu, and the nickname is Qiu Hua." While talking, an old girl came out of the room, holding wine and food in her hand, entertaining the guests.

After the meal, the two went to bed and loved each other endlessly. They heard the oath of life and made a white-headed appointment with the woman. Then the east turned white. The old man walked into the house and said, "The firewood and rice are gone. Please give me some silver to make a living." Wen Life stretched out his hand and groped in his arms. He was penniless and said, "I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry to go out this time, and I forgot to bring money with me. Why don't I set up a note for my mother and send the money as soon as I get back. When the old lady heard the words, she changed her color and said, "How can there be a prostitute who doesn't pay for a brothel? It's a good idea. It's a pity that the old lady can't read, and it's useless to write.

Wen Jin thought for a while and said, "Well, how about I bet my clothes to my mother?" The old man said, "Son, don't blame me for being straightforward. You can buy a pot of wine at most with this broken robe on your body." He chattered and complained for a long time before he took the woman's palm and turned into the house.

I don't know how to deal with her. She quietly went to the window and peeped. The old woman and the woman changed their appearance in the blink of an eye. She was originally a peerless beauty, but now she became a bull-headed person, with an ugly face and extremely horrible.

Hearing that life was very afraid, I fled in a hurry and wanted to go home, but there were many fork roads on the street, and I really didn't know how to choose. He was running around like this. He was exhausted and hungry. When he was in a dilemma, he suddenly met Xiucai unexpectedly. When Xiucai saw that he looked embarrassed, he asked, "Why did you look like this? Even his clothes are missing?"

Wen Life sighed, "Don't mention it. Hey, it's all caused by lust." Xiucai smiled and said, "Nedless to say, the prince must be fascinated by Hua Yecha. Humph, Qiuhua's mother and son and I are old friends, but they dare to bully my friends. It's simply not giving me face. After saying that, he left angrily.

After a good time, the scholar returned, holding a coat in his hand and said, "** maidservant is shameless. I have scolded her." Send Wen's life home and leave.

The moment I went home, I heard that my life had been dead for three days. Until this time, I was still in the sun.
