Chapter 43 The Judge

When I was young, I didn’t know the moon, so I called it a white jade plate.

Haha, the Mid-Autumn Festival will be in five days.

At that time, this ancient moon will be bigger and rounder, turning from an oval plate to a standard round plate.

Chu Fan stood under a big tree, looked up at the sight, frowned and narrowed his eyes to stare at a yard fifty meters away, and a sneer hung on the corner of his mouth.

He observed and listened for a while, and confirmed that within a radius of three hundred meters, there was only one living person except himself.

The night sky is quiet and the sky is blue.

The bright moon is bright, and the white clouds are as thin as cicadas' wings.

At the foot of a small hill, there are lush trees.

A lonely and simple brick house surrounded by sparse and dilapidated fences. A dilapidated wooden carriage was parked inside the wall, but there were no horses, no stables, and not even a well.

This is Niu Ding's house.

Shi Meng led the constables through the city in the afternoon, and immediately reported to the county government after returning to the city. The noise was too big and the impact was bad. The people were talking about it. The three giants in Yangwu County were waiting for him to give an explanation.

Dian Shi Yan Wei and county magistrate Zhou Bingxun originally wanted to take him off and remove him from the head of the captain.

After all the calculations, Zhang Biao jumped out of the slant, saying that he was urging Shi Meng to conduct joint exercises in the north and south areas. Shi Meng was very skilled in martial arts, and his reputation and talent were far above him, so he should have become the chief inspector of a county.

County Magistrate Li Wenfu was reluctant to do so, so he made arrangements on the spot.

In the future, the constables were not divided into north and south, and all were under Shi Meng's jurisdiction. Zhang Biao was still in charge of the southern district and his rank remained unchanged. However, if there were only two arresters in a county, no general arrest would be set up. Shi Meng's rank would not change. The county would apply to the county government for an additional salary of two taels of silver per year according to the situation.

Now Shi Meng has become a big captain, and Zhang Biao becomes a little captain.

Shi Menglian said that he did not need it, and he eliminated harm to the people and served the country, so he was responsible for his own affairs.

Li Wen walked with the water and said with a smile, "Your Yunmeng cousin is so rich, of course you don't care about this little money anymore." However, renting a tea house for the detective to rest quickly, you can no longer pay for it at your own expense, and the county will allocate funds."

Dian Shi Yan Wei and county magistrate Zhou Bingxun did not expect the situation to change suddenly, and the situation took a sharp turn. After a few words of anger, there was no sound again. The "pioneer" Zhang Biao fought back, and no one was allowed to replace him, and his official rank was one and a half level lower. In the end, he could only let Li Wen decide the matter like two fools, which was so angry that he was so angry that he was filled with smoke.

For Chu Fan, when he scared Zhang Biao in the forest, he knew that this was the inevitable ending, unless the guy was desperate.

No one should suspect him.

In front of everyone, Zhang Biao was captured by Shi Meng with one move, and it would be impossible for him to convince the public in the future.

Chu Dashang just pushed another hand and helped the stone to the wall to gain more convenience and less trouble.

However, the county magistrate Li Wen's methods are also very powerful.

Differentiation and disintegration, leverage the force to exert force, and seize the opportunity and cut the mess quickly.

After Shi Meng returned home, Chu Fan asked about Niu Ding's situation.

Shi Meng smiled and said that in the evening, Zhang Biao beat Niu Ding up as soon as he arrived at the county yard, saying that the yamen was a major official place, and how could Baifu break in without receiving the order? It was ridiculous that the guy had been bullying people with his brother-in-law's power, but this time he was regarded as a confession given to Chu Fan.

Niu Ding is purely a scoundrel and a troublemaker among the rogues.

Over the years, he has blackmailed a lot of money and spent all his money. He has no overnight food at home and no overnight silver. The only serious property purchase is to buy a dilapidated yard at the foot of "Yishan" and an old carriage.

Yishan is a public grave mountain. It is located in a remote corner of the southern city, covered with graves. It is filled with yin energy in broad daylight.

Even if you are brave enough to buy a house in the grave mountain, it is not convenient to live in. The terrain is too high and you can't dig a well, so you have to run far away to the Border River to carry water when making a fire.

However, it doesn't matter to Niu Ding.

Anyway, he is wandering around outside all day long, and his whole family is not hungry after eating alone, so he will go back to bed at most at night.

As for what he had transported after buying the carriage, Shi Meng didn't know. This guy was not stupid. He knew that he would not be able to fall into Shi Meng's hands and rarely ran to the north of the city to move.

Midnight passed, everything was silent, and the moon was sinking eastward.

Chu Fan approached Niu Ding's yard.

His face was red and purple, and a trace of blackness appeared in the purple. He was wearing a scarlet cloak and a black tight-gauze hat on his head. There were two curved protruding upwards on both sides of the hat, like a cow's horn.

This is a set of Netherworld Judge's uniform.

Li Su ordered it at the tailor shop a few days ago and only made it to deliver it today. She planned to take Yingying to the judge's temple tomorrow to burn incense and fulfill her wishes, and put on new clothes for the judge.

Chu Fan's heart moved and stole it quietly, and even followed a box of rouge.

He didn't tell Li Su, and didn't want her to know about this. Anyway, Yiren went to customize another set, and it didn't matter how many days later to fulfill her wish.

After being beaten twice a day, Niu Ding's bones seemed to fall apart and his whole body was sore. He moaned for a while before falling asleep lightly, but was awakened by a "slap".

He is an expert in this field and feels that the door is locked.

Which little thief who is not eyebrow dares to bully grandpa?

This is not how the door ties are tucked.

It is easy to tie the upper and lower parts, just pick it open. If you touch the left and right ties, you must first flatten the door panel, spray tung oil into the crack of the door, and then use a thin blade to carefully push it bit by bit to avoid making a sound.

Niu Ding opened his eyes and grabbed the iron ruler.

The old wooden door creaked open, and the pale moonlight leaked in.

A figure with a high door frame floated silently to the couch, with a red and black face, a ox horned official hat on his head, and a bright red cloak as blood.

Niu Ding looked at it in a daze for a few breaths, suddenly threw away the iron ruler like a hot fire, lifted the quilt, knelt on the couch and kowtowed repeatedly, and spoke in fear:

"Judge, I've known for a long time that you're going to come..."

Chu Fan's heart was shocked.

He is a time traveler who has been strictly trained by science. So far, he has discovered that the magic and ignorance of this world can still be explained by science. How could he easily accept the concept of ghosts and gods?

He didn't even believe in the Netherworld, how could he believe that a vicious scoundrel was actually a ferryman from the Styx who endured humiliation?

People laugh at me for being too crazy, and I laugh at others for being unable to see through. Haha, have you reached this level? Let’s save money.

However, Niu Ding's reaction is too abnormal.

He was indeed afraid, but he did not show the fear of a normal person after encountering illusory gods and ghosts.

Even those who are as brave as Chu Fan felt creepy when they heard the saying "Their life is over, and the villain is just ordered to ferry."

His appearance was more like a subordinate who had a ghost in his heart and suddenly encountered a big superior and was startled.

Also, what do you know long ago?

Niu Ding continued:

"Little, little man, I didn't mean to touch the three boys whom you are protecting under your old man. There is really no way, otherwise I wouldn't be able to hand over the wrong one..."

Upon hearing this, Chu Fan seemed to understand something.

The legendary ferryman in the Styx River is half a man and half a ghost, not a formal ghost, and the difference between him and the judge is 108,000 miles away.

The three children hid in the judge's temple and were protected by the judge.

Niu Ding "fed" the three children, which was equivalent to slaughtering a dog. In order to get a job, a white servant actually broke into the old house in the county magistrate's countryside and wiped out the three stray puppies. He was naturally frightened and frightened.

When beating a dog, it depends on the owner!

It turned out that it was not because of the money that he had thrown out the money and the tent that he had caused trouble. From the word "reality", it can be seen that Niu Ding has been staring at the three beggars for a day or two.

He was definitely not pretending, he really thought the judge had arrived.

Otherwise, only by knowing the causal connection and knowing the purpose of his coming tonight can he perform so perfectly. But if he is so powerful that he can know everything, there is no need to pretend.

So, is he really a ferryman from the Styx?

Chu Fan felt that it was not very similar.

At least he still talked about three boys, but he didn't know that a little girl was saved by Mr. Kong.

Moreover, it was not obvious that the judge was pretending to be himself.
