Mr. Duan stopped walking and stopped moving forward. It was obvious that there was a muddy pond ahead of him. If he kept moving forward, he might be covered in smelly mud.
But he just stopped and did not retreat. His eyes were lowered and his eyes flickered. Mr. Duan felt very embarrassed.
The Bujin Yin and Yang Division was originally a subordinate office under Duan Wangwang. The judge here changed hands. He was unaware of such a big matter, which can be regarded as dereliction of duty.
To be honest, Duan Wangwang cannot be entirely blamed. After all, the Yin and Yang Division has been aloof from the world for thousands of years, and there has never been a case where a judge was killed by an outsider. It was something that no one could think of, and naturally they would not be prepared for it.
But being right doesn't mean being innocent.
However, he did not pay attention to his arrival, saw something strange in the office, knew that the other party's arrival was strange but did not investigate, and just retreated. This is knowingly committing a crime, and it is a definite breach of duty.
But if you think about it further, no matter what kind of game is between Su and the general government, at least the Ninth Princess and her gang really dare to kill the judge. This kind of evil star Netherworld has never been seen in ancient times, and Mr. Duan Wangwang really doesn’t want to go.
Get into trouble with this.
At this time, Niu Ji whispered again: "Before I went out to greet you, Mr. Su specially told me: 'After Mr. Duan knows what happened, if he comes to see you, you must wait on him well; if he turns around and leaves, you two will take care of him."
I will send you thirty miles away; if Mr. Duan stops and hesitates, you two can tell me something for me."
"What did he say?" Duan Wangwang asked.
"The man surnamed Su has served as an official for a long time. He doesn't want to change the day. He just wants to be on duty. When interacting with colleagues, he will only treat him as a distinguished guest and will never embarrass anyone for nothing. Mr. Duan came happily and will definitely leave in peace.
"Su Jing's reputation is not worth mentioning, but the direct disciples of the Ninth Princess, no matter how courageous they are, they would not dare to tarnish the credibility of their elders." Niu Ji relayed Su Jing's words word for word.
The Yin and Yang Division ignores the fight between the ghost kings, but that doesn't mean they know nothing about the outside world. Duan Wangwang has long known Yang Shen Qianxun's reputation for being true to his word, following his words, and having a resounding reputation.
Mr. Duan is no longer worried about safety, so why not check out "Little Master Jiu" and then report it to the general office? Finally, there is an explanation. Mr. Duan gritted his teeth and moved on.
It is also worth mentioning that although Niu Ji and Ma Xi are just small government servants, they revealed a lot of useful information to Mr. Duan. Based on the "habits" of the Onmyoji Division, Mr. Duan Wangwang should share in the reward. But Duan Wangwang did not
There was no reward, and he was led by two servants to the back garden as if nothing was wrong.
In the back garden, when he saw the cow, horse, and horse flying over happily, Su Jing greeted him from afar, smiling happily: "I've heard about Brother Duan's name for a long time, and I just wish I didn't have the chance to meet you. Today, I have fulfilled my wish."
It’s a great relief and welcome.”
There is no sincerity in the polite words, but there is only one key point: Brother Duan.
Su Jing refused to discuss official positions with him.
Duan Wangwang was a little worried that Su Jing would act like a first-grade official, but he felt relieved when he saw this. He immediately raised his hands in greetings and called him "Mr. Su", smiling happily.
After Su Jing introduced the three corpses to Duan Wangwang, Ah Qi only said that they were all his personal followers. After that, the guests and the host sat down, no serious topics were discussed, and they drank the fragrant ash tea. You said "long admire" and I said "admire" to each other.
After complimenting him for a long time, Su Jing changed the subject and asked: "After my predecessor, Mr. Liu, left, he left a few books of accounts. I saw in them that Brother Duan was involved in some private accounts. Brother Duan is here to repay.
Money?"
There is no account book, and there is no need for it. Su Jing knew it after listening to the officer's advice. This Master Duan had borrowed money from the previous judge of Bujin. He had borrowed it several times, and the amount was not large or small, but he had never paid it back.
For official business dealings, for small matters, official documents are passed around, and for major matters, when recruiting subordinates, they go to their superiors for face-to-face interviews. There is no reason for an adult to take the initiative to come to the subordinates. In fact, every time Mr. Duan comes to visit, it is for the same thing: to borrow money. This time is no exception.
.
Today, Duan Wangwang's purpose for this trip can be understood by Niu Ji and Ma Xi, and he also explained it clearly to Su Jing just now.
Before Duan Wangwang could say anything, Su Jing shook his head and said with a smile: "Judge Liu has passed away, and his accounts have also disappeared with the wind and smoke. Mr. Duan is trustworthy and will repay any debts he owes, but he has nowhere to go to pay them back."
Duan Wangwang smiled slightly: "I practice the 'Taotie Greed' mysterious method. It does take a few more steps to reach a higher level than ordinary exercises. Sometimes the turnover is not flexible, so I have to rely on good friends to help me, which makes Mr. Su laugh.
Fortunately, with everyone's care, I have made some achievements. When Liu was still alive, he once mentioned that one day he would retire from office and would like to join my sect and be taught this Dharma. Alas, I had intended to fulfill my intention, but he has stopped.
Again."
'Taotie Greed' is a well-known ghost cultivation method in the Netherworld. When Duan Wangwang heard Su Jing mention 'Master Liu has passed away', he thought that the other person was trying to knock him, so he continued on the topic to remind Su Jing that his cultivation method was extraordinary.
Same as ordinary people, not as vulnerable as Liu Xun.
Because of practicing this ghost method, Master Duan's ability is indeed far superior to that of his colleagues, but he also got into trouble because of it: Not long ago, he practiced 'Taotie Greed' and just jumped to the next level. It was originally a good thing, but unexpectedly, there are some problems in the new level.
The Xuanxu of "Taotie enters the soul" will be affected by the nature of Taotie when performing kung fu, and it will consume as much incense as there is around it.
This technique is not an evil method, and the ghosts who practice it can control the original mind. However, Mr. Duan is new to a new realm. He did not check for a while and was confused for a while. When he found out, it was too late: when he was confused, he
He kept it on his body and swallowed less than half of the 70% profit that was going to be handed over to the general office.
If you can swallow it, you won't be able to spit it out. Counting the days, Kong Chaofang from the general office will come to your door soon. By then, he will not be able to escape the serious crime of 'corruption'. He has already passed through his subordinates and others who are familiar with him.
The Yin and Yang Division borrowed money everywhere but still couldn't make up the shortfall. In desperation, they had no choice but to try their luck again.
Su Jing's face showed admiration: "Taotie is greedy and has such a wonderful secret of Yin cultivation. I didn't expect Brother Duan to practice it. I admire him."
After that, the conversation stopped getting serious and returned to boring pleasantries. Su Jing didn’t ask what Duan Wangwang’s visit was about, and Duan Wangwang wouldn’t take the initiative to mention it, but he gradually seemed a little absent-minded. At this time, Su Jing said: “Brother Duan has been an official for a long time.
, I don’t understand something very well, I hope my brother can give me some advice.”
Duan Wangwang was already ready to leave. He had no intention of chatting anymore and said with a smile: "Mr. Su is too polite. Duan is so virtuous and capable. How can he give advice to you?"
"I recently encountered a business deal. An ordinary wandering soul costs 750 liters of incense." Su Jing ignored Duan Wangwang's objection and said directly: "I don't know if the price is appropriate."
Duan Wangwang was startled: "Sir, you are joking. How can there be such a price?"
Su Jing nodded seriously: "It's true, otherwise why would I ask here."
Of course Duan Wangwang didn't believe it, he smiled and shook his head: "What kind of buyer would pay such a price? I'm just having fun, sir. As far as I know, there is no ghost king with such a big head in the underworld."
"It's not the Ghost King," Su Jing also laughed and pointed to his head: "Brother Duan, do you think my head is big? Seven hundred and fifty liters per ghost, and I am the buyer."
This time, before Duan Wangwang could shake his head again, Su Jing continued: "I know that the Yin and Yang Division has iron-clad rules. Each division has its own jurisdiction. The wandering souls of this division are not allowed to be sent to other places, so there is no way to buy and govern them.
The ghost king from outside the earth, but it doesn’t matter if I don’t want a wandering soul, the price is still the same, I just need to buy him a few words.”
Duan Wangwang responded: "Sir, I was confused."
"The souls of people who died unjustly," Su Jing gave the answer: "I intend to avenge them. All I need is for you to ask where the grievances lie, and then pass them on to me. I know that the 750 liters of incense is Brother Duan."
That’s it.”
Duan Wangwang is a fifth-rank official, in charge of Bujin, Zougu and other low-ranking bureaucracies. At the same time, his own Yin-Yang Division also has to accept and send out wandering souls, and the jurisdiction of his Yin-Yang Division is different from that of Bujin and other small divisions.
There is no overlap, which means that he cannot send the wandering souls of his own company to the territory of his subordinate company, otherwise it will be against the law.
But Su Jing doesn't really want the wandering soul. As long as he has his grievances, there is no violation of the law. What's more important, seven hundred and fifty liters of incense is more than two hundred times the value of an ordinary wandering soul. This money does not need to be paid by the chief executive.
Almost all of the commission goes to the judge himself. If you calculate it, it's a thousand times more.
Master Duan cleared the accounts in the blink of an eye, and Su Jingze continued: "As for retribution, Brother Duan doesn't need to worry about it, and it won't affect the underworld. Everything will be settled in the world of the world."
Retaliation for retaliation, life for life, redressing the grievances of the wronged soul is repaying his life. From this point of view, Su Jing's purchase of "grievance" is the same as buying a soul. Therefore, the previous "750 liters"
The saying that "incense buys a wandering soul" is not wrong either.
Mr. Duan doesn't know that for him, this is a 'guaranteed profit' business, but he just asks his subordinates to pay attention to the servants' souls and ask them if they have been wronged.
It's his own. It's not necessarily any different from picking up money, but he still smiled and shook his head: "You have to interrogate people's souls, and you also have to judge whether the grievances are true. These things are hard for you guys, how can you let them go in vain?
Busy? Seven hundred and fifty liters per wandering soul may sound like a lot at first, but when you count it down, it’s not too much.”
"The most important thing," Mr. Duan said calmly, "How many people can die unjustly? This water flow is too small. How many souls of people who died unjustly can a government office encounter in a month? Seven hundred and fifty liters
Even if the incense is spread out, it won't be able to fill a larger coffin."
What he said is considered true. The most important thing for the Onmyoji to buy and sell wandering souls is the 'huge quantity'. The plants, trees and insects in the world of the sun alternate between life and death all the time. Every day, the wandering souls can accumulate a large amount of money.
, the human soul cannot even account for one in a thousand, let alone being unjustly accused is extremely rare.
"I couldn't figure out the price originally, thank you for your advice," Su Jing said with a sincere smile, "otherwise if I had gone to another office and quoted this price, I would have been laughed at. Brother thanked Brother Duan. Brother Duan
It seems that if you do this business, how much incense is appropriate for one grievance?"
Duan Wangwang was also a sensible person and knew that this was already a business negotiation, so he said in a serious tone: "How much incense? I have never done this kind of business before. How can I know what kind of price is appropriate?" As he said that, he picked up the tea cup and gently said
He took a sip and secretly looked at Su Jing's expression, also thinking about his shortcomings.
Soon, he put down the tea cup, stood up, and said with a smile: "My husband and I hit it off immediately. However, we are busy with official duties and there is really not enough time to hang around anymore, so I said goodbye. I will come back to visit my husband when I have time in the future."
