Immortality in the Great Qian Dynasty

Chapter 218: Empty Prison (Update 1)

These three people together, it can't be a small matter.

"Lord Lu, how is it going?"

"Hmm..."

"Lord Lu, you can't delay any longer, you can't hesitate any longer!"

"That's right, Lord Lu, if you don't do it now, I'm afraid it will be difficult to have another chance in the future, you should make up your mind!"

"Alas!" The prefect with a garlic nose shook his head and sighed.

"Lord Lu, what is there to hesitate about!"

"My Lord Lu, be merciful when you should be merciful, and be ruthless when you should be ruthless. We can't delay any longer... If we don't deal with him, our business will really be exposed!"

"Do it!"

"You guys..." Lu Zhizhou shook his head helplessly: "You just like to force me, I really owe you!"

"Lord Lu, this is not called forcing, this is called persuading!"

"Lord Lu, don't forget, we are your own people."

"What's the difference between your persuasion and forcing!... Killing court officials will cause a big fuss!" Lu Zhizhou sighed: "Do you really think the court is deaf and blind? Killing the prosecutors again and again, will the court not notice something is wrong? I'm afraid that the secret censors have already entered our Mingzhou!"

"Don't worry, Lord Zhizhou."

"If there really is an imperial censor coming in, we will get the news!"

"... Forget it, now that things have come to this point, we can only go one way and kill the prosecutor."

"That's right."

"I hope nothing goes wrong. The origin of this prosecutor is extraordinary. His teacher is the right vice minister of the Ministry of Rites. Once he finds something wrong, he will probably not give up."

"Hehe, if he doesn't give up, then get rid of his teacher at the same time! What's more, Weng Jingyuan is now in trouble. He hasn't been released from prison yet. Maybe he will die in the prison!"

"You guys..., we are not killing people, we are for the great cause. Killing one more person will increase the danger."

"Hehe..."

"Go ahead, go ahead, I will find someone to deal with it." Lu Zhizhou waved his hand impatiently, motioning them to go out.

The two of them clasped their fists and saluted with pride: "I'll take my leave."

Then they smiled at each other and left the hall with a smile.

Fakong smiled thoughtfully when he saw this. He really wanted to kill Xu Enzhi, but why did he see Xu Enzhi's fate for three months without any danger?

Then he thought of himself.

Could it be that this clairvoyance also counted himself in? He was not an independent variable, but also a whole?

If I look into this in detail, I am afraid I will be confused.

What if I don't help? What will happen to Xu Enzhi's fate after this decision?

Thinking of this, he decided to give it a try.

Several people had breakfast together.

Madam Xu was also forcibly pulled over by Fakong, which was not in line with secular etiquette.

Xu Enzhi and Madam Xu did not hesitate because Fakong was a monk and was familiar with Madam Xu.

"Sir Xu, when you were a judge, did you feel anything wrong?" Fakong asked casually.

"Wrong?" Xu Enzhi pondered.

He quickly thought about all his experiences since entering Mingzhou: "Since taking office, I have tried a total of thirteen cases, all of which are trivial matters. The customs of the people in Mingzhou are still mild."

"Nothing unusual?" Fakong said.

Xu Enzhi shook his head and asked in confusion: "Master, why do you say that?"

"I overheard the three prefects talking yesterday. They want to get rid of you because they are afraid that you will discover some secrets. What secrets could this be?"

"Secrets..." Xu Enzhi frowned and thought hard, and finally shook his head: "I really didn't find anything special... Is it only these trivial lawsuits that are not appropriate?"

Fakong pondered: "You are a prosecutor, and you only come into contact with cases, but these cases are not problematic. What else can you come into contact with?... Have you ever come into contact with the prison?"

Xu Enzhi shook his head: "I am only responsible for the trial, and the sentencing is the responsibility of the Tongpan. The punishment is not under my jurisdiction, so I have never come into contact with the prison. Master, do you think there may be problems with the prison?"

This is a strange intuition, as if a flash of inspiration, which is hard to explain.

Fakong said, "I'll take a look after dinner."

"Okay." Xu Enzhi nodded.

Fakong used his clairvoyance to take a look at Xu Enzhi and found that Xu Enzhi would die suddenly tonight.

Then he had another thought and wanted to help Xu Enzhi.

He used his clairvoyance again and found that Xu Enzhi was safe and sound and would not be in danger within three months.

Fakong laughed.

What if he only blocked them tonight and did not chase them to destroy them?

With this thought in mind, what the clairvoyance saw was different. Three days later, Xu Enzhi still died suddenly.

That is to say, even if they were spared, they would continue to kill Xu Enzhi after three days. They had to kill Xu Enzhi. They were really arrogant and persistent.

From this point of view, either they died or Xu Enzhi died.

Fakong sighed helplessly. It seemed that he had only one choice.

Xu Qingluo saw that Fakong suddenly used his divine eyes to look at his father, sighed again, and asked hurriedly: "Master..."

"Let's stay one more day today and go back in the evening."

"...Okay." Xu Qingluo actually wanted to leave right away to see how lively the outer courtyard of the Vajra Temple was.

But since Fakong had made his decision, she didn't want to go against it.

Xu Enzhi and Mrs. Xu were overjoyed.

With Fakong around, Xu Enzhi felt safe and fearless, but without Fakong, she felt unsure.

However, he had a strong heart. Even though he was unsure, he did not show it and acted as if nothing had happened.

Unfortunately, he could not hide it from Madam Xu.

Madam Xu was not worried.

She saw Fakong cure Xu Qingluo with her own eyes, and was deeply shocked and shocked, which planted the seeds of faith.

Fakong saw Xu Enzhi's worry and did not say much.

He had been thinking about how to improve his clairvoyance. He was not satisfied with only seeing for three months.

If he could see for three years, that would be really easy.

Even if he could not see for three years, it would be good to see for one year. Three months was too troublesome. He had to constantly use his clairvoyance and waste the power of faith.

Although Madam Xu also provided herself with some power of faith.

After dinner, Fakong and Xu Qingluo floated out of Xu's house from the top of the wall.

The two strolled on the streets of Mingzhou City.

Mingzhou City is not far from Shenjing, but its prosperity is indeed far inferior. Of course, Mingzhou City is already a rare prosperity.

But after experiencing Shenjing, looking at Mingzhou again, it is like the gap between the magic city and an ordinary city in the previous life.

Xu Qingluo looked around curiously, and from time to time she ran to the stall to look at small things like hair accessories, or buy some snacks.

Fakong didn't eat snacks, just watched her eat alone.

The two of them wandered along the way, pretending to pass the street in front of Mingzhou's prison casually, but they didn't go to the prison, which would inevitably attract attention.

The mind and eyes have been shining everywhere.

Four armored soldiers stood in front of the prison, holding swords, all with their eyes slightly closed, basking in the sun and dozing, still fierce.

The prison was empty.

Fakong's mind and eyes were clear that there were only four old men and six old women in the whole prison. Six of the ten old people were sick and were lying motionless in the dry grass, and they could die at any time.

Fakong and Xu Qingluo returned to Xu's house.

Xu Enzhi asked for a day off today, saying that he wanted to go out of the city to enjoy the autumn and relax.

The prefect agreed readily.

This was exactly what the prefect wanted.

"Master, are you back so soon?"

"You know the secret." Fakong shook his head and said, "The prison is empty. There is no young and strong man left. Only ten old and sick people are left. Where did all these people go?"

"This..." Xu Enzhi's face changed slightly.

He never expected that such a thing would happen.

No wonder they wanted to remove him as a judge. Once discovered, it must be reported. This is a serious matter.

"The whereabouts of these people are a secret."

Xu Enzhi: "Did they trick them into the Kunshan Holy Church?"

"It's possible."

"Master, is it possible that they took them to practice martial arts? I heard that some evil martial arts require devouring human essence and blood to achieve quick success."

Fakong nodded: "That's possible."

"Or was they sold secretly?" Xu Qingluo said again.

Xu Enzhi looked at Xu Qingluo helplessly.

I really don't know what this girl has been exposed to. She can think of such a thing. Her thoughts are too dark.

Fakong nodded: "It's possible."

Xu Qingluo tilted her head and said: "Is it possible that they were made into elixirs that can prolong life?"

"Qingluo!" Xu Enzhi couldn't listen any more.

Such a whimsical and dark idea can come up with this girl. If she is not properly managed, she will go astray in the future.

Fakong nodded: "It's possible."

"Then we can only catch the prefect and ask him?"

Fakong sighed: "It seems that there is no other way, but we don't need to do it. The court will deal with this matter."

As soon as Ning Zhenzhen reports, the court will set off immediately. Shenjing is not far from here and will arrive soon.

It is best for the court to deal with Kunshan Saint Church. He has already done his best to inform the court, so there is no need to get involved more deeply.

He looked at Xu Enzhi.

If Xu Enzhi wrote a memorial at this time and reported the situation in the prison, it might not be a bad thing.

But this would make enemies with Kunshan Saint Church.

You can only choose one of the two: make merit or not to make enemies with Kunshan Holy Church.

Xu Qingluo's eyes flashed: "Master, do you want your father to write a memorial and share some of the credit?"

"You can do it this way."

"This will completely offend Kunshan Holy Church, and they will definitely retaliate." Xu Qingluo smiled and said, "Dad, do you dare?"

"Why not!" Xu Enzhi said in a deep voice: "They are so reckless and treat the law as nothing, so they should be severely punished!"

"Hehe, then you will be miserable. I don't know how many disciples of Kunshan Holy Church there are. You will be targeted openly and secretly, and it will be more difficult than now."

"As long as your life is safe, nothing else matters." Xu Enzhi said in a deep voice.

His pride and strength were aroused. He repeatedly killed himself and did not fight back at all. He looked down on himself.

If he died, he would die, but he could not be so cowardly. Not only would he look down on himself, but Qingluo would also laugh at him.

"Dad, don't show off." Xu Qingluo said with a smile: "Think about it, they can develop to this extent secretly, how powerful they are, Dad, you should get promoted slowly, don't rush, now if you make merit and really return to Shenjing, you will also fall into the whirlpool."

"Qingluo's words make sense." Fakong nodded: "Master Xu, it's better to watch this matter from the sidelines."

"...Okay, listen to the master." Xu Enzhi said in a deep voice.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"You can go out of the city to play and relax." Fakong said.

Xu Qingluo tilted her head and smiled: "Master, will you come with us?"

"I will stay here for now, and wait for the assassins to appear, then go over and kill them, so as not to alert the enemy."

"I can see Master's heroic figure again." Xu Qingluo was not worried about the assassination that was coming, but was very excited.

The graceful figure of Fakong holding a sword and killing the bandits at that time has always been imprinted in her mind.

It was completely different from his usual calm and slow style, which made her unforgettable.
