"It's still a lie! Don't try to lie in front of me. Tell me the truth quickly. What else have you done?!"
When Mr. Zhenyan came here, he was still a little reluctant about working overtime, but at this moment, this mood had disappeared and turned into complete excitement.
Again, it is not impossible to work overtime, but you must have enough money.
Looking at the pile of "criminal records" that are two fingers thick, how can a man of truth not be excited?
That’s a lot of incense!
When Du Kang invited the Zhenyan Taoist to come over, he had already made it clear to him in advance that this time the incense would be fifty-fifty, the truth!
Even if he does not have the ability to judge the truth from lies, Du Kang's words can be trusted by Zhenyan Taoists. On the one hand, with Du Kang's identity and strength, there is no need to go back on his words in such a place. If he wants, he can order Zhenyan Taoists to do it.
Taoists still dare not disobey.
On the other hand, although Du Kang arranged work for Zhenyan Taoist in turns before, it was really not a trick. He was given all the incense that should be given, and the work pressure was definitely not as great as being seconded. It can be said that Zhenyan Taoist is still
Inherited Du Kang's favor.
"My subordinate really didn't lie..." Guibei County City God moved his eyes, looked at Du Kang, and begged, "Shangguan Mingjian, this person must be deliberately retaliating, and I don't know what grudges I have with him...
"
The reason why he can only move his eyeballs is that Du Kang's "flexible" use of the barrier technique allows the barrier to adaptively cover the surface of objects, and then wraps up his entire body. In addition to being able to speak, he cannot move at all, so he can't move at all.
There was no chance of being a monster or resisting, and the thought of escaping was completely eliminated.
Not only that, Du Kang also used barrier techniques to wrap up the entire county God's Temple. The effect was basically a temple that could be entered but not exited. From the outside, everything looked normal. It also served to conceal the truth and see if anyone would fall into the trap.
, as well as the effect of making it impossible for the civil and military judges and the Six Departments to escape.
The main thing is a flexible application.
"I brought this man here. If you say that he deliberately retaliated against you, do you mean that in fact, I deliberately wanted to frame you, and you were not responsible for these things?" Du Kang asked calmly.
"No, I don't dare!" Guibei County City God quickly shook his head.
"What I value is a fair and just person, and an easy-going approach. If you feel that I have wronged you, then I will report it to the city god of the state, and then submit a written application to the Tenth Palace Yama for a joint investigation. In this case, I believe you will
Can you relax and be sure of justice?" Du Kang said that he has always been very open-minded in handling cases.
This sentence is equivalent to - since you can't trust the procuratorate in our city, then I will contact the provincial procuratorate to investigate and interrogate, and by the way, notify the ministerial procuratorate and let them handle it, so as to ensure fairness.
"No need, I trust the superior's judgment!" the Lord of Guibei County said with frightened eyes.
Justice is definitely fair, but his death will probably be even worse!
As the saying goes, if you don't see the coffin, you won't cry. Even now, Guibei County City God still retains a little bit of luck.
"Since you can trust me, just say it. Don't worry, I have a lot of time waiting for you today." Du Kang said with a smile.
The Town God of North Guangxi County spoke tremblingly again, while the True Word Taoist kept distinguishing the truth from the false. Anyway, there was no possibility for the Town God of North Guangxi County to hide it, because at that time, the True Word Taoist only had to ask "Is there any more", unless
The Lord of Guibei County did not speak directly, otherwise once he answered, whether it was vague or lying, he would be easily identified.
Under Du Kang's pressure, he had no choice but to keep silent.
In this way, the two-finger-thick "criminal record" was increased to three-finger-thickness. Finally, the Lord of Guibei County was forced to have no choice but to give up and tell Li Tong to change his soul.
thing.
Among them, naturally there are a bunch of private excuses intentionally or unintentionally included in the hope of excusing themselves.
"... I was forced to have no choice at that time. My great-grandson only lost his parents and was all alone. This was my last bit of blood. After he became a Taoist priest, he didn't have the temperament to endure practicing in the mountains, so he came here.
He begged me hard to help him get rich. So, when I saw that Li Tong was about to die, I put the soul of my great-grandson into it, so that he could enjoy a lifetime of glory and wealth, leaving some incense..."
"So, Li Tongpian's illness was not caused by you?" Du Kang interrupted and asked.
"No! I don't dare to do such a thing..." Guibei County City God shook his head repeatedly.
"It's a lie, Jie Jie Jie!" Zhenyan Taoist Jie Jie said with a smile. Probably because he hasn't been separated from his identity as a demon cultivator for too long, he smiled sinisterly, proudly and arrogantly.
"I was going to die, within a few days!" Guibei County City God gritted his teeth, and the last bit of hope in his heart was shattered. After being told the truth and lies so many times, he had already realized the accuracy of the truth Taoist's ability.
.
"Although I care about my great-grandson, I don't dare to do something that directly kills people. Li Tongpuan only has so many lifespans in the book of life and death, so I have this crooked idea.
It doesn’t matter if it’s for nothing…then I’ll send Li Tongpan’s soul to be reincarnated.”
Du Kang was not surprised that the city god of Guibei County could see Li Tongpan's lifespan in the book of life and death. The city god was originally a subordinate agency of the underworld, equivalent to the underworld's office in the underworld. Basically, every city god had one in his hand.
In this book of life and death, you can see the cause of death, life span, etc. of ordinary creatures in the territory.
Because this function is necessary to determine whether the person in the country has a normal time and cause of death, if the number is not correct, it will be strictly investigated according to regulations.
Although this process is sometimes experienced in front of the Tenth Hall of Hell in the underworld, these are the benefits that only big people have. If everyone in the world had to go through the Tenth Hall of Yama before their death, they would definitely be too busy.
.So it is natural to allocate tasks and leave the less important ones to the City God under his command.
Of course, the book of life and death in the hands of the City God can only be used for querying and viewing, and there is no possibility of modification. It is equivalent to just a query tool with a limited scope. Modifying it can directly change the life span.
In the underworld, in the hands of Yama of the Ten Palaces.
"The truth." The man of truth gave his judgment.
Du Kang understood that this feeling was that a corrupt official in the county who was domineering and abusing his power had arranged a good place for his relatives. Considering that he was the only one with the last bit of blood, it was no wonder that he had to risk such a big risk.
The risk is to directly exchange souls with others.
If he hadn't been reported by the Land Lord for bullying his subordinates, maybe he could have concealed this matter seamlessly. After all, Li Tongpan should have died at that time, and he would have probably drank Meng Po Tang and been reincarnated as an adult by now.
Yes, it's just dead without any evidence.
However, in this way, although the soul belongs to the great-grandson of the city god in Guibei County, the body still seems to belong to Li Tongpan, right?
Isn't this the common soul traveling in various novels?
When Du Kang thought of this, he immediately thought of one of the most classic questions in this kind of novels - using the soul-pierced body to pick up girls, does it count as being cheated on, or is it cheating on someone else?
Putting it here, it is - is it the great-grandson of Guibei County who has appropriated Li Tongpan's body, wealth and good life, or is he passing on Li Tongpan's family line?
Du Kang looked a little weird, but he didn't dwell on this issue because there was still another question that needed to be asked clearly.
"But if that's the case, you shouldn't be allowed to hide this matter until the end. If my observation is correct, you put things in order of importance and urgency," Du Kang looked at Guibei County City God.
, asked slowly, "You should be hiding something."
The city god of Guibei County looked slightly panicked.
"I won't let you speak for yourself this time. Let me make a guess. There is something wrong with the soul-changing spell. Your great-grandson's soul does not match Li Tongpan's body quite well, and Li Tongpan's body was not originally
Will catch the disease, so there is a fatal root cause.
In addition, he used to live a life of poverty and abstinence. Now he suddenly became rich and had no worries about food and clothing. He immediately let go of eating, drinking and having fun. In a short period of time, he married seven wives and concubines.
He indulged in excessive pleasures and did not know how to control and maintain his body, so his body was completely ruined in a short period of time.
The combination of the two has reached a level that is difficult to cure with medicine and stone, leaving you at a loss because you didn't expect this at the beginning... As a god, it must be okay for you to do this, because you have died long ago, and you are just a soul.
A human body, and your great-grandson is a real human body, but you didn’t expect that?”
"...Shangguan...Mingjian." The Lord of Guibei County said fearfully.
"But this is not the end, otherwise how can I explain why you are so panicked... When I went to Li Tongpan's house, I observed the body. If there is no mistake, the soul of your great-grandson is still in Li Tongpan's house.
Inside the body, it was well preserved without any damage... You couldn't have known this situation, but you didn't take it away.
If you say that you suddenly have a conscience, I absolutely don't believe it. Everything in this world can only be divided into zero and countless times. Either you don't do it once, or if you do it the first time, there will be a second time.
times, so are you afraid that you still want to change the soul of your great-grandson again?"
Hearing this, the Guibei County City God's eyes widened instantly, filled with disbelief.
"Looking at your reaction, my guess is correct." Du Kang was not surprised. After observing Li Tongpan's body and listening to Tu Tu Gong's story before, he already had some guesses in his mind. Now it's just
It's just confirmed.
"Last time, it was barely possible to say that Li Tongpan was about to die and 'didn't want to waste it.' But what about this time? Whose soul are you planning to replace?"
"I don't dare, I don't dare..." Guibei County City God's eyes lost their light, probably because the whole thing was exposed by Du Kang and his hopes were completely shattered, he murmured.
"You are very brave." Zhenyan Taoist sneered.
"So, that Taoist priest was also sent by you?" Du Kang asked with raised eyebrows.
Although the record in "Zi Buyu" is that the Taoist priest wanted to invade Li Tongpan's body by exchanging souls, Du Kang did not regard the recorded plot as a complete future. Maybe something had changed or something had happened.
What about mistakes? History books can be changed, let alone such folk tales and novels?
In short, it is - "You can believe it, but you can only believe it a little bit."
"No!" This time, Guibei County City God shook his head decisively.
"Truth."
Du Kang didn't even need to look at Master Zhenyan. Master Zhenyan had fulfilled his duty as a lie detector.
"...I wasn't sent by you, but the speed and tone of your answer make it seem like you know the existence of this person." Du Kang narrowed his eyes slightly, "It seems you have other plans?"
"Subordinate... I want to report a group of demons and evil gods!"
The Lord of Guibei County seemed to have finally figured something out. He gritted his teeth and said decisively, "Although I know that I have committed countless crimes for what I have done, so I will definitely not be able to forgive them all, but I don't know if Shangguan can do it because of this."
Spare part of my punishment..."
"Hey, it's too much to write down too much. Look, aren't all your sins here? You can write them down on paper, no more, no more..."
Du Kang also perked up after hearing this, and secretly knew that there was something hidden. Seeing that a lot of incense was about to fly towards him with little wings, he said with a smile on his face.
"Don't worry, you will be given leniency if you confess, and stricter punishment if you resist. There is also a word called meritorious service. If the demons and evil gods you mentioned are true, it must be considered a major meritorious service, and the punishment can be reduced. When the time comes, I will
I will also try my best to help you apply. I always tell the truth and will never go back on my word or lie! You can see that I have such a good relationship with people like Zhenyan Taoist."
Zhenyan Taoist smiled politely and nodded. He still needs to tolerate the incense in front of him... Furthermore, although he, Zhenyan Taoist, does indeed never lie, he did not say that he cannot help but speak and cannot move.
lie!
Probably because the Zhenyan Taoist's previous achievements were quite credible, and he was also panicked, the Lord of Guibei County did not think carefully about whether there were any loopholes in the process. After getting Du Kang's promise, he told the matter that was probably his trump card.
Said it out.
"Because my great-grandson felt that his health was failing, and I had no way to save him, I really wanted to change this soul... But this time, my great-grandson wanted to
He wants to be a Taoist priest again, and he is still the kind of Taoist priest who has magical power. He said that if he has this ability, he can actually be rich and prosperous. His subordinates really have no way to refuse him, so they thought of a way..."
Tenosynovitis occurs again... The left chest still feels a bit strange, as if something is pressing against it. I will go to the hospital tomorrow to check... There will be a chapter later.
