The dazzling overcast light at noon shines into the main hall. The golden seal on the book table shines golden under the overcast light, and it is not suitable to look directly at it.
The magic of gods and ghosts contained in the golden seal exudes a little bit of yin energy.
The Yin Qi is light but not strong, but no one can tell at a glance that it is blessed with some kind of divine and ghost magic. And when the Yin Qi diffuses, the mysterious talismans carved on the golden seal also shine with golden light.
Xiao Fuling picked up the big seal and looked at the bottom. She saw that the bottom was smooth all around, except for the middle, which seemed to be carved with iron chains, intertwined and intertwined.
The power of gods and ghosts is contained in the patterns and can be unleashed at any time.
"Okay, with this thing, we can make those prisoners who are treasonous but have not yet bear the blood debt and need to be given a lighter sentence behave themselves." Xiao Fuling took a long breath and put down the golden seal.
Her body and mind, which had been tense for the past few months, were relaxed at this moment.
After dealing with those prisoners, she can return to the capital.
After having enough fun and helping her father, Xiao Shizhu, Xiao Fuling suddenly felt a little homesick.
She handed the gold seal to the officials from the Chacha Division who came with Xiao Shizhu's personal soldiers, and said: "According to the list given to you by Master Huamei, print this mark on the prisoner."
After saying this, Xiao Fuling turned to look at Huamei on the side: "All the prisoners who are imprinted will be sent to places where infrastructure construction is needed after they meet their families under the supervision of the jailers.
They will be sent to hard labor. After completing their sentence, they will be released home. Inform their families not to talk nonsense, otherwise they will also be punished with treason."
"No." After all the ghost officials responded in unison, Huamei sent the other officials down.
A moment later, the other ghosts all said goodbye and left the main hall. The main hall suddenly became empty and seemed even more spacious.
The only ones left in the empty main hall were Huamei and Xiao Fuling, and Fan Jinhong, who followed Xiao Fuling closely when she ate, slept, pooped and urinated.
Xiao Fuling swaggered and sat down behind the high desk, where Huamei used to sit, and casually looked through the documents stacked on the table.
Fan Jinhong also stood only about three feet away from her.
"My lord." Seeing no one else around, Huamei, who was opposite Xiao Fuling and only separated by the high-profile Zhang Zhang, got straight to the point and said without hesitation what he was going to say after sending the ghost away: "My lord.
He sent me a secret message this morning, saying that he still had something to do, and these treasonous criminals were all
We have something to do with Qingqiu Fox Country, so in order not to disrupt his plan, it is best for us to keep a low profile after receiving the golden seal. Therefore, I would like to ask the lord for instructions, since the lord is so confusing.
According to the request, will the execution of those prisoners who deserve to be beheaded be slowed down?"
While talking, Huamei looked at Xiao Fuling, who was casually looking through the documents, and a look of worry appeared in his eyes, slowly overflowing from his eyes.
She was just afraid of the thrush, which would lead to long nights and many dreams, giving the family members of those on death row the opportunity to bribe officials. There is no airtight wall in this world, and it is the same in the underworld. Once a family member of a death row prisoner bribes a ghost who is not determined
Officials, ghost officials, and a civet cat came to exchange for the prince, and the real prisoner on death row was replaced. This secret arrest operation that has remained airtight until now was made public.
For this reason, the news was leaked and spread to Qingqiu Fox Country.
Once Qingqiu Fox jumps over the wall and strikes first, Jiuyou Country will be passive.
What's more, the ghost officials and ghost officials in Jiuyou Kingdom are not all monolithic; under heavy rewards, there must be brave men. As long as the family of any death row prisoner has a strong family and can offer a suitable price, Huamei can't guarantee that the ghosts under his will will be rewarded.
Officials and ghost officials are not motivated by wealth.
Fortunately, Xiao Fuling, who knew Xiao Shizhu better, was here. Huamei couldn't think of the best way, so she simply exchanged opinions with Xiao Fuling.
Finally, Huamei added: "I don't know how the master wants me to deal with those death row prisoners? Low-key, how can I deal with them in a low-key manner?".
But Xiao Fuling was not in a hurry, her face remained calm, she casually picked up the documents on Gao's case and continued to read them. She seemed not to be curious about what medicine her father was selling in his gourd.
But in fact, in my heart, I was still thinking about it.
After a while, Xiao Fuling had secretly figured out a way, so she slowly spoke to Huamei: "The instructions from my father's words are very clear. You can kill the prisoners on death row according to the law, but they must be executed secretly.
.Those who have family members can also ask their family members to attend the ceremony before the execution.
Meet them, but don't mention the death penalty. The ghost yamen will collect the bones secretly, and when the matter is completely resolved, they will send the bones back to their families. In other words, the world will be peaceful, and this matter has not yet arrived.
If you want to make it public, don’t make it public.”
"But that's not exactly what my father meant." Seeing the thrush nodding thoughtfully, frowning and thinking about something, Xiao Fuling, who thought about it carefully, added: "He should want to
You have kept several important prisoners under strict supervision and are not killing them for the time being. When the matter is completely settled and the matter is to be made public, you will still need these witnesses so that they can apologize to the Nine Nether Kingdom in person and accept the ghost people of our country.
's trial."
After saying that, Xiao Fuling had already put down her Chinese book, put it away for Huamei, and then stood up.
"Then Mr. Huamei, I won't bother you too much because you are busy with official duties." Xiao Fuling said this, bypassed the bookcase, and walked slowly outside the main hall: "Then I will watch the ghost guards and mark the prisoners.
The mark is gone, you can go about your business."
Fan Jinhong, who was behind him, followed silently.
Huamei also turned around to face Xiao Fuling's back, and saluted slightly: "I respectfully send you off, Your Majesty."
Xiao Fuling, who had already raised her legs to cross the threshold, didn't say anything. She just raised her hand and said goodbye to the thrush behind her.
But Xiao Fuling, who walked out of the main hall, did not go towards the dungeon, but turned a corner and led Fan Jinhong towards the backyard.
But as soon as she went out, Xiao Fuling kept her brows furrowed.
She had acted calmly before and had no interest in her father's plans, but in fact she was still secretly curious about what plans her father, Xiao Shizhu, had planned?
Soon, Xiao Fuling, who was thinking about it, silently stepped into the backyard. When she came to the door of her felt tent, she suddenly stopped and continued to frown, and suddenly asked Fan Jinhong beside her: "
Fan Jinhong, what do you think my father is going to do?"
Fan Jinhong was stunned by her question; he recovered after a moment and began to think carefully.
Xiao Fuling waited patiently for a moment, and Fan Jinhong shook his head blankly, and said thoughtfully: "I don't know the end of the general; my lord has always done things that are unpredictable, but most of them have something to do with the east side."
Fan Jinhong has been working with Xiao Shizhu for more than a day or two. He knows that this human soul can indeed endure it, but he will definitely make his opponent pay back double the amount afterwards.
This time, the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom secretly suffered such a big loss for Xiao Shizhu and the Jiuyou Kingdom. Although it was stopped in time, the losses were not small. It would be damned if Xiao Shizhu could swallow this tone.
It is true that the Jiuyou Kingdom and the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom are peaceful now, but one day Xiao Shizhu will not be soft-hearted when he asks the Qingqiu Fox King to repay his debt.
Fan Jinhong thought that what Xiao Shizhu was going to do would probably be to prepare the Qingqiu Fox Country to pay off its debts in the future. But he really couldn't guess the specifics.
Xiao Fuling glanced at Fan Jinhong, who still had a slightly confused look on her face. She didn't ask any more questions. She opened the tent door and got into her own tent.
Fan Jinhong didn't think too much and didn't follow Xiao Fuling in. He turned his back to the felt tent and stood quietly outside the door to stand guard for Xiao Fuling...
While Xiao Fuling was wondering what her father was going to do, a fairy boat from the Nine Nether Kingdom was flying past the smoke-filled north of Yunmengzhou, which stayed close to the north coast of Yunmengzhou.
, and flew all the way eastward.
In addition to carrying heavy gifts to the Qingqiu Fox King, the Xiancha also carried envoys from the Jiuyou Kingdom as envoys from the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom.
After Lu Wu thought twice, he felt that since he was on a mission to an ally, even if the ally was just a subsidiary of the Nine Nether Kingdom, he must be polite and courteous.
He was not worried about other ghosts, so he had to invite Changqin who was good at etiquette.
Since Changqin stopped being a prince and joined the Jiuyou Kingdom, he realized that he was not an expert in running a country, nor could he command an army. But he was good at formulating etiquette, so he simply suggested it to Xiao Shizhu to do what he was good at.
Xiao Shizhu also wanted to control all ghosts in an orderly manner, so he agreed. The laws of Jiuyou Kingdom were formulated by Chang Qin and the deceased Wu Qiu Shou.
As for the current etiquette of the Jiuyou Kingdom, Changqin and the national master Yingying knew it together. He even made the official robes of the ghost officials of the Jiuyou Kingdom for Xiao Shizhu.
There are extremely detailed regulations on what officials of any rank should wear when working or going to court, attending important meetings or state banquets.
Therefore, Jiuyou Kingdom has rules and disciplines and is by no means a straggler.
Lu Wu also considered that he could not underestimate the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom and could not send meat and bones as envoys, so he sent Changqin out. By the way, he asked him to bring a Xiancha to help the Jiuyou Army in Dongyingzhou.
Changqin Gui is the Chunguan Zongbo who is in charge of the state ceremony of Jiuyou Kingdom and one of the six ghost officials. This weight is large enough and it is no longer contempt for the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom.
And Changqin also has a lot of backbone, not just meat and bones, and is loyal to Xiao Shizhu. If he is sent here, he will not be bullied by the Qingqiu Fox King or instigate rebellion.
This is the best option.
At this time, Changqin was sitting in the Xiancha cabin, wiping his staff over and over again with a silk cloth. This staff from the Jiuyou Kingdom was very different from the staff from other ghost countries. The staff had nine straight sections.
Polygonatum japonicus is green, round and smooth. The five-foot-long staff is engraved with the symbol of Jiuyou Kingdom - Bianhua.
It is decorated with nine balls of tassels made of unicorn neck hair, and the top is inlaid with a gold and bronze sword. The Jinren is said to be made in the shape of Xiao Dianthus. Therefore, not only the facial features are similar, but also the sword of the Jinren is similar.
The sword is also exactly the same as the Moon Destroying Sword.
This style and size were also designed by Changqin himself. But holding this object represents Xiao Shizhu's first mission to another country, and this is Changqin's first time.
While he was wiping the staff enthusiastically, a ghost official knocked on the door and entered.
The ghost official who arrived was holding a rectangular red hard-covered document. After entering the cabin, he walked to Changqin and stood still.
Before the ghost official could speak and explain his purpose, Changqin had already glanced at the two large gilded characters on the cover of the document - invitation.
So he, Changqin, spoke first and asked: "Invitation letter? Whose house are you inviting me back to be a guest?"
The official put the invitation on the table beside Changqin and said: "Sir, you guessed wrong. This is not an invitation for you to give a gift. It is an invitation for the Lord to invite the Qingqiu Fox King to visit our capital.
The invitation was just sent by the Air Cavalry." (To be continued)
