Chapter 663 Second Lesson
The two went downstairs, and Cedric walked to the shopkeeper, "I want the waiter's contract to sell his body just now."
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and did not say that he would report to the boss such nonsense. He took out a contract with an official seal from the cabinet behind and presented it with both hands.
After Cedric left a ingot of silver, he took Wang Gui to Xianyang Mansion.
The government office is adjacent to the Chenghuang Temple. In a city as huge as Xianyang today, there are certainly no fewer daily cases, but vicious murders in the street are still ranked first.
A seventh-rank criminal law magistrate was promoted to the hall. The yamen runners on both sides stomped their killing sticks. The waiter shook. Even if the spring sun shone, his whole body was blood-colored and his lips were blue and white.
The Criminal Law Principal looked at the corpse and waiter in the hall. The yamen runner had just told him about the incident. He was originally killed, but the waiter had a reason for the incident. According to the law, he should be sentenced to be exiled to the army and exile.
But he had some explanations for the person he killed.
Although Scarface is a villain, he dares to traffic in a heavy city like Xianyang and raise pickpockets. Of course, there are some tricks behind it. They belong to the Hungry Wolf Gang, which is also a game work of a concubine's son from the Duke of Gui's Mansion. Now that people have come to you, they can only be considered as the waiter's fortune.
The magistrate's eyes stopped on an old servant from the Duke of Gui's mansion for a while and spoke,
"Who is in the hall?"
The waiter said tremblingly, "Caomin Li Chunfu."
"You commit murder in the street, can you admit your guilt?"
"Please tell me clearly. The other party took out the knife first. Xiaomin was forced to kill him in a desperate situation."
"It is natural to kill someone and pay for his life, so why do you need to argue?" The old servant said with a sharp tone.
"Since you're killing someone, then just take a picture."
The magistrate looked like he was doing his job, and the recorder who had done the document handed the document and the cinnabar ink to the waiter.
The waiter couldn't know all the words, but he also understood that he was probably doomed. He looked at the governor in the high hall with a pale face, "Sir, you're wronged."
The magistrate looked indifferent, like a temple sculpture of gods and Buddhas, looking indifferently at everything in the hall, "Don't mention it more, ask for trouble, and be punished, it will be no more unfair."
Wang Guiyi looked at the scene in front of him, clasped his hands tightly, and almost gritted his teeth.
Cedric led Wang Gui out of the crowd. The yamen runners around saw Cedric wearing a Taoist robe, a purple gourd around his waist, and a ragged boy followed behind him, and did not dare to stop him at will.
The Tang Dynasty has enjoyed such national fortunes until now, all thanks to the fortunes of the two saints of immortals and Buddhas. Therefore, monks and Taoists have a transcendent status in the Tang Dynasty. When the magistrate saw Cedric coming out from the crowd, countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and finally said, "Do you dare to ask where the Taoist priest came from?"
Cedric Yang took the contract of selling his body in Yang's hand, "The slaves at home accidentally killed someone, so I'm here to apologize."
The yamen runners carefully took the contract for sale and handed it to the magistrate. After seeing the document, the magistrate was a little difficult for a moment and said that it was a plea, but this happened, it actually supported him, "Do you dare to ask about the origin of the Taoist priest?"
Cedric shook his head, "The Taoist priest of Shanye, has not yet been registered as a naturalized person."
At this time, a luxuriously dressed young man walked out of the back hall and sneered, "A wild Taoist priest dares to interfere in the court?"
Cedric shook his head and said, "I dare not, but according to the law of Tang, although I am a slave, I will not die of sin. Please leave his life."
The luxuriously dressed young man looked at Cedric and suddenly said with a smile, "I look at the beautiful style of the jade gourd around your waist. Since your servant killed my servant, why not give me this jade gourd, how about writing it off?"
Cedric laughed, "I should do this, but Tang Law has its own laws, so I dare not violate it. According to the laws, I should engrave my words to serve as a military officer. Please give me a clear understanding."
When the magistrate saw that Cedric was a wise Taoist priest, he breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the clerk. The clerk immediately drafted a new verdict and handed it to the waiter Li Chunfu.
Seeing that Li Chunfu was relieved of his death penalty, it was Cedric, a noble man who came to save him. He didn't dare to say anything. After pressing him, he walked up to Cedric and said, "Thank you for your help. If the young man is lucky enough to die, he will be a cow or a horse."
Cedric waved his hand, "It's not that you are immortal, but that your opportunity has come, I will give you a word."
As he said that, Cedric waved his sleeves, and a gold hook and iron painting with the word "sink" was imprinted on Xiao Er's forehead, as if it was naturally generated.
Although Cedric did not show any amazing magical powers, it is already an amazing thing to be able to cast spells at will in this court.
The two officials fought each other, and this time they got into trouble with real people.
The rich young man was also stunned. However, he was born in the royal palace and had seen magic from the immortals. Cedric could not scare him with this move, but instead became a little greedy. The jade gourd on such a person must be a rare thing. It just so happened that his father had his fiftieth birthday. If he presented such an item, he would definitely win more favors.
"Give it something." The rich young man reached out to Cedric.
The old servant behind him already realized that things were a little irritating, but due to the usual tyranny of his son, he did not dare to say much.
Cedric showed a happy look, not like giving gifts, but like collecting treasures. He smiled and took off the jade gourd around his waist. "Why be anxious? This is also your opportunity. I can't stop him."
Cedric gave the purple gourd to the rich young master without looking back and took Wang Gui away quickly, as if he was really afraid of the majesty of the royal palace.
The gourd is like warm jade. The rich young man is full of joy and will definitely offer his treasure tonight.
In the Tushita Palace in Lihentian, Laojun's eyes opened slightly and he said with a smile, "There is still half a gourd golden elixir, so you can't bear it? It's really against your will. Even if I follow the Tao, I can't do anything."
Wang Gui was full of joy when he saw Cedric coming out of the yamen, but he was eager to take him back to the courtyard, took the two brothers who had subsided their fever, and went straight out of Xianyang City and towards the capital of Shen Luoyang.
Walking to the riverside, Cedric picked a reed and threw it into the Yellow River. In the rolling waves, he turned into a big ship with carved railings and jade, which was so beautiful.
After getting on the boat, Cedric took Wang Guiyi to stand at the bow of the boat, turned to Wang Guiyi and said, "Do you think I am timid and afraid of the powerful people of the royal palace?"
Wang Guiyi shook his head, "If it were an ordinary person, of course I would think so."
Then he stomped his feet and felt the real ship. "The teacher's supernatural powers are beyond my imagination, and what the teacher does is naturally far beyond ordinary people."
Cedric sighed, "Although he is far superior to the mortal, he is still in the game."
Wang Guiyi looked at Cedric in confusion.
Cedric explained with a smile, "If I said I was just like the scarface and waiter, would you believe it?"
Wang Guiyi's reaction was first of all, not believing, and secondly, the teacher would not lie to him. When the two were added together, cold sweat oozed out of his back, wet his clothes, and his voice was dry, "Is that I am in the game too?"
Cedric patted Wang Guiyi on the shoulder, "Smart, but this game is too big. It's useless to tell you now, but you have to remember that even if you are in the game, you may not have a chance to get out of the game."
"The opportunity to get out of the game?"
