If you don't give up, I'd like to be your adoptive father.

Chapter 147 Shen Tu and Yu Lei

The government office is not in the center of Tianmen Town.

Because Tianmen Town is traversed by many rivers including Lianghe River, Qingshui River and Xiaoliang River, its true geographical center is not suitable for building a county government office.

Slightly to the south, backed by Lianghe River, there is a spacious and flat piece of land where the government office is located.

However, Xiaoyu was assassinated not long after leaving Bao'an Hall.

Bao'an Hall is located at the foot of the northern city wall and is the farthest place from the government office in Tianmen Town.

Therefore, even though the owner of Xinglong Noodle House was beating drums and shouting, he did not immediately alert the government office in the distance.

When Xiao Yu brought the man and the ghost to the gate of the yamen, the street was still dark, the two red-painted doors of the yamen were closed, and it was quiet inside, without even a night watchman.

Looking at the drum on the left side of the gate, Xiaoyu hesitated.

She just wanted to report the case first and didn't want to keep everyone awake at night.

It is certain that once she strikes the drum to report the incident, except for Zhu Yitao in the back court, the common people in the nearby streets will be woken up and greet her parents together.

"In addition to Zhu Yitao, there are also the Dianli, the County Magistrate, and the six chief officials in the government office. It is better to explain the situation to the chief official of the Criminal Office first and write a detailed petition. When daybreak comes, submit the petition directly to Zhu Yitao—"

Xiaoyu was thinking as he walked forward, preparing to ask the corner door to be opened so that the night guard inside would let him in.

"Buzz~~~"

A dazzling golden light suddenly appeared in front of him, Xiaoyu's eyes were dazzled, and he quickly turned his head to avoid it.

"Hey, this is a very important place for the county government. How dare you ghosts and gods trespass without permission?"

Xiao Yu turned his head away, his Xin Hai Jue was still running, and he was "watching" the "New Year picture" on the gate of the county government office shining with golden light.

The two colorful and majestic door gods in the New Year pictures actually walked down from the door.

The door god on the left is four meters tall, with a red face and black beard. He holds a large Guandao in his hand and wears colorful golden armor inlaid with gems and jadeite, like an opera actor.

The door god on the right is also tall, with a big belly like a general, holding a machete in each hand, and his body is also covered with sapphires, green jade, purple tortoise shells, and red cat's eyes. He has a blue ribbon wrapped around his body, a big green coat and golden armor, a unicorn-shaped belt wrapped around his belly, and a pair of huge golden boots.

Xiaoyu blinked, first looked at the two generals, then tilted his head to look at the "New Year picture" on the gate behind him.

The painting was completely blank, and the door gods were missing.

"Please forgive me, two great gods. I did not trespass into the county government office without permission. Please open your eyes and take a look. I had no choice!" Xiao Yu was still looking at the door gods in confusion, while Chi Miao, who was held in her hands, was already wailing in haste.

Xiao Yu asked: "Two great gods, what are your names?"

"Are you blind?" The door god on the left pointed at the "New Year picture" on the door.

Although the door god has come down from the painting, there is still the name of the god written in cloud seal script on one side of the door god's portrait.

The one on the left is "Shentu" and the one on the right is "Yulei".

"Great God, please bear witness. I am Yu Fengxian from Hongxiufang. I am the plaintiff who has come to the government office to sue these two criminals for colluding with ghosts to kill loyal people. By the way, I am the recently famous 'Yi Bo Yun Tian Yu Fengxian'."

Xiaoyu mentioned the man and the ghost and said to the two door gods.

“So you are the Yu Fengxian who was given the throne of God out of righteousness.” Yu Lei looked her up and down, his expression and tone softened, and he said softly: “The lawsuits in the world of the living are not our business, we only care about these two doors.

Without your order, no ghosts or gods may enter the government office for any reason."

Xiao Yu nodded to show that he understood, and then asked curiously: "Please forgive me, a small barbarian, for my limited knowledge. The names of the two great gods are well-known even to barbarians.

You shouldn't be so idle, but you actually showed up for a small Xishu government office?"

“You are indeed very ignorant, you can’t even distinguish between a true god and a projection of incense.

Hehe, all the government offices in the world, as long as we brothers are invited, we can take care of them with millions of clones." Yu Lei said with a smile.

"Brother, we don't have much time, don't waste time talking to her!" Shen Tu raised his big Guandao and made a gesture to drive her away, shouting at Xiao Yu: "Since you understand the pros and cons, why don't you leave quickly! If you don't leave, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Xiao Yu took two steps back, leaving the gate of the county government office, and said, "Don't be anxious, two great gods. I'll stand outside and call for help."

"Who's calling outside?"

The night watchman was startled, and an officer behind the vermilion lacquered gate shouted impatiently.

"Swoosh!" Before they finished speaking, the two gods turned into golden light and returned to the door.

The door god painting is still the same as before, weathered by wind and rain, with mottled colors, cracked and bulging paper, and some pieces of paper falling off.

The previous scene seemed like a dream.

"Squeak~~~" the door opened a crack, and a head wearing a pointed cone hat, with slanted eyebrows, small eyes, a flat nose, and a red face, poked out from behind. First, he burped, then squinted his eyes and looked around with a blurred look.

"Are you a human or a ghost, little girl?" He was frightened by Xiaoyu.

Xiaoyu is pretty and delicate, with a bun on her head and a pink skirt on. She doesn't look scary at all.

But late at night, the little girl was holding the armored giant in one hand, and with the other hand emitting red light, she was holding a squirming black shadow. It was very strange, and the atmosphere was extremely gloomy, with gusts of cold wind blowing on her face.

"I am Yu Fengxian!" Xiao Yu said.

The officer was stunned for a moment, then quickly opened the door, handed over the lantern, and leaned forward, asking in surprise, "Is it the righteous Yu Fengxian, the ancient sage?"

Xiaoyu smiled bitterly in her heart. This damn reputation really makes people love and hate it!

"It's not just me."

"Miss Yu, it's almost four o'clock in the morning. What are you doing?" the officer asked in confusion.

"Some bad guys are colluding with evil ghosts to murder me." Xiao Yu handed the suspect to the lantern, "Look, this is the bad guy, and this is the evil ghost."

"Oh my god, there's a ghost, there's a ghost!!!"

When the officer saw the armored warrior, he was stunned. When he saw the ghostly Chi Miao, his eyes bulged. He threw away the lantern, turned around and ran, staggering and wailing miserably.

The howling sounded throughout the empty and silent yamen.

Xiaoyu didn't want to disturb Zhu Yitao's rest, but Zhu Yitao was woken up anyway.

"What the hell, which bastard is yelling outside?"

Zhu Yitao was very angry.

Not only was he suddenly awakened from his deep sleep, but the Zhu family members living in the back court were also affected. His wife jumped out of bed in her bellyband, grabbed his arm and yelled, "You must be too cruel and offended too many people. Now the villains are attacking the county court to seek revenge on you. Run, run!"

From the Xiulou where his daughter lived, there were also the panicked cries of the maids.

Sometimes he said "there's a fire", sometimes he said "there's a ghost", and sometimes he shouted "the bad guys are coming and they want to catch the girl".

They shouted "the bad guys are coming" not because they were sleepy, but because the officers outside were shouting in fear.

What could have caused the officers guarding the yamen to scream in fear if not the arrival of bad guys?
It was almost five o'clock in the morning when Zhu Yitao finally figured out what had happened.

"Who's the night watchman tonight? Drag him down and give him thirty lashes to calm me down!"

"Master, I am innocent! Even though I am screaming like a ghost, there really is a ghost!" The officer with a big nose and anal eyes knelt on the ground and cried out for justice.

"Even if there really is a ghost, how can you, a messenger from the government, be afraid of a little ghost? Only the little ghost can be afraid of you and us!" Zhu Yitao shouted.

After saying that, he shouted directly: "Bring Yu Fengxian into the hall. I'm going to take a look now to see what the hell she is holding in her hand!"

His wife advised him, "Even if you are not afraid of ghosts, as your Lord, how can you try a case at four o'clock in the morning?
At least we should wait until daybreak, when all the people are present, before we can start the court session."

Zhu Yitao thought about it and said, "You can ask Yu Fengxian if the 'ghost criminal' she caught can wait until daytime and see the sun?"

After a while, a yamen runner came in and reported, "Master, Yu Fengxian said that the ghosts she caught are not afraid of the sun.

It just requires the master to issue a decree to allow the "ghost prisoners" to enter the yamen, otherwise the two gods Shentu and Yulei will not let them in. "

"Who are Shentu and Yulei?" Zhu Yitao asked in confusion, then realized what was going on and said in surprise, "Are they the two great gods Shentu and Yulei who guard the gate?"

"It's those two gate gods."

Zhu Yitao laughed and said, "Interesting, interesting. I have been interrogating criminals all my life, but this is the first time I have dealt with ghosts and gods."

After a moment's silence, he ordered, "The fourth watch is over, getting up now would only count as getting up early.

You should send people out of the yamen to call back the coroner, the criminal code, the torture chamber, and all the veteran case handlers in the yamen.

More than a dozen elite warriors of the Luye Guard died, and the case of 'Yi Bo Yun Tian Yu Feng Xian' was involved, so it was inevitable that the king would be alarmed, and the government could not take it too seriously.

Tell them that all criminal investigation documents must be prepared before I go to court."

The officer agreed at first, then hesitated and said, "Then Yu Fengxian needs the order."

"Since the victim wants to sue the ghost and has captured it, of course we should allow it into the government office."

Zhu Yitao picked up a pen and quickly wrote a document approving the arrest.

After finishing writing, he stamped it with the county magistrate's seal and his own red private seal, and after blowing it dry, handed it to the officer.

Outside the government office, a square-faced yamen runner in his forties walked down the steps and handed a piece of paper to Xiao Yu, saying, "Miss Yu, this is a document written by your lord. Do you think it's ok?"

Xiao Yu took it and looked at it. There were only two sentences and more than 20 words on it, which meant: Although Chi Miao was a ghost, he was also the "criminal" in the assassination case in "Baxia Lane", and the county magistrate of Tianmen Town, Zhu Yiqun, specially allowed him to enter the yamen.

"Zhu Yiqun" is Zhu Yitai's real name.

This was the first time Xiao Yu had experienced such a thing and he had no experience, so he just asked the yamen runners to step back. He held Zhu Yitai's order in one hand and the fat ghost Chi Miao in the other.

The black-armored knight is a human being and does not need an order. He has now been sent to the yamen.

Chi Miao closed his eyes tightly, and Xiao Yu also walked into the yamen carefully, step by step.

The two great gods in the door god painting moved again.

However, he did not jump out of the painting directly, but just stared at Lingjun's hand order with his eyes wide open.

As Xiaoyu walked forward, their heads and gazes also turned.

Only after crossing the threshold and entering the yard did the door god's gaze completely disappear.

"Huh~~~" Xiaoyu let out a long sigh.

The pressure from Shentu and Yulei far exceeded that from the previous Silver-Armored Talisman Envoy.

"Miss Yu, how is it?" The square-faced yamen runner looked at her eagerly, with both expectation and uneasiness on his face.

Xiao Yu asked in confusion: "Didn't you see it just now?"

“What do you see?”

"The two gods in the door god painting have been staring at me with their eyes wide open, and their heads turn with me." Xiao Yu said.

The yamen runner rubbed his eyes, then looked at the door god painting on the gate and said, "I've been waiting for the door god to appear, and I've been looking at the door god painting, but there's nothing!"

"Hey, you bastard, did you see that?" Xiaoyu asked Chi Miao.

Fat Ghost yelled, "Tiger Girl is blessed. He is a lowly person with a miserable life. He has never seen the blessing of the great god."

"Oh my, it's really a ghost. It looks so ferocious and its screams are terrifying. Oh my God, it's so scary~~" The bailiff's face turned pale with fright.

It's no wonder he's timid.

As Chi Miao is a ghost god, his “true appearance” is naturally very vicious.

It’s the same old saying, as an inspector responsible for hunting down evil spirits, you must be more evil than the evil spirits.

Even if one once looked as handsome as Pan An, once he becomes a ghost or god, his appearance and aura will become ferocious.

Green face, fangs, and bloody mouth are the most common configurations.

It looks ugly, has a scary aura, and its voice is like a real ghost cry.

It sounded like the cry of a night owl, piercing and frightening.

"Don't be afraid. I'm here. He's like dough that can be kneaded by anyone. If you don't believe me, you can touch and knead it. It's cold and soft." Xiao Yu smiled and handed over the evil ghost in his hand.

The officer trembled even more violently.

The sweet smile on her face turned into a hideous grin more terrifying than that of a demon.

"Miss Yu, I am a rotten life, I don't have the blessing of pinching ghosts, you can enjoy it yourself, I, I will lead the way for you."

He turned around and ran forward in a hurry.
