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

Chapter 794: Justice is Clear
Gong Si ran into the side hall panting, and saw the three people at the wine table. He was stunned for a moment, rubbed his eyes hard with his hands, and then looked again: Brother Zhao was really having an affair with the evil scholar and drinking with the evil Taoist Luobo.

"Brother Zhao, you are a county lieutenant, why did you submit to the bandits?" he howled.

"Gong Laosi, what the hell are you talking about? What thief? Where did the thief come from?" Zhao Yan was puzzled.

Xiao Yu smiled and said, "Captain Gong should have come with the order from the county lord to find County Magistrate Zhao to discuss important matters at the yamen.

It would be better if we end the banquet here tonight, and I and Gou Sheng will go to the side hall to rest.

County Lieutenant Zhao first went to the yamen with Gong Dutou to meet the county lieutenant.

Well, walk quietly on the road, talk quietly, don't make a lot of noise on the street, don't alarm others. "

Zhao Yan was almost sober now. He looked at her suspiciously, then turned to look at Gong Si who seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"Master, you and Mr. Gou should go to the side hall to rest first. I will try to come back as soon as possible."

He still followed Xiao Yu's advice, left the banquet first, walked out of the yard, and then pulled Gong Si under the second porch and asked in a low voice: "What happened? What did the county magistrate say? What happened in the county government?"

It was evening again, still next to the City God Temple outside the East City Gate.

Xiao Yu finished practicing the Great Sun Purple Qi, jumped off the tree trunk, and said to Gou Jiao who was climbing on the haystack and drinking medicine: "We have been delayed in Guangchuan County for too long. It's time to close this case."

Gou Jiao and Luo Shiluan both looked at her in confusion.

"We can't rely on the gods, and we can't trust the human authorities either. How can we close the case?" Gou Jiao asked.

Luo Shiluan's eyes lit up, "Master Luobo, are you finally going to take action yourself to help me get revenge?"

Xiao Yu shook his head and said, "The only one who can help you is Gou Sheng. I am just an assistant."

"After I recover from my injury, we will leave Guangchuan and go to Hejian Prefecture to find the prefect." Gou Jiao said.

"Do you have any evidence? You couldn't collect any evidence in Guangchuan, and you came to Hejian with nothing. Why should the prefect mobilize his troops to fight against the powerful families under his jurisdiction just for you?" Xiao Yu said.

Gou Jiao gritted his teeth and said, "If I can't be the prefect, I will go find the inspector. If I can't rely on the inspector either, I will write a letter to the court in Xianyang."

"You can do whatever you want, but I don't have time to do it with you." Xiao Yu curled his lips, "You have followed me to slay demons and monsters for several months, don't act like a young boy who just went out and can only rush in and fight."

Gou Jiao calmed down and asked, "Master, what good advice do you have?"

Xiaoyu placed her right hand above his head. There was no contact between the two of them, but she suddenly felt a surge of heat in her body.

The heat will first travel around the internal organs.

I just drank too much nourishing soup and my belly is bloated, so I feel hungry again.

Then the heat expanded further and began to flow through his limbs and bones, making him feel so comfortable that he became dizzy.

"We will go find County Magistrate Zhao later. During the banquet, your soul will leave your body and follow Miss Luo to the government office to find the county magistrate."

She whispered the instructions again and withdrew her right hand from the top of Gou Jiao's head.

Gou Jiao suddenly found that his back no longer hurt and the tearing sensation in his buttocks was gone.

"Master, what did you do?" he asked in surprise.

"A basic use of internal energy to help you quickly digest the tonic provided by Miss Luo. Your body is not fully recovered yet, but you can walk on the ground."

Xiao Yu answered perfunctorily with a serious expression, and then asked, "Did you remember and understand what I said to you just now?"

"I don't quite understand, but I have remembered it all. But I am just a mortal, how can my soul leave the body?" Gou Jiao asked.

Xiao Yu pinched his fingers and chanted a spell, then stretched out his hand and grabbed a transparent figure out from Gou Jiao.

Gou Jiao felt empty inside, looked down, and exclaimed: "Ah, what happened to me? Why is there still me?"

He saw himself standing up and himself lying motionless on the haystack.

"This is the soul leaving the body, a very simple soul-leaving spell." Xiao Yu pushed his soul back again.

Luo Shiluan said worriedly: "Mr. Gou is just an ordinary person, his soul is very weak——"

Xiao Yu raised her hand to interrupt her and said unhappily, "How is he weak? You are still a ghost who knows martial arts, but you are not as strong as him."

The "Zhengqi Jue" practiced by Gou Jiao is a method of refining the mind, which also has the effect of strengthening the soul.

He is now at the realm of the seventh or eighth heaven. The yin spirits of many extraordinary people are not as strong and powerful as his soul.

Zhao Yan's home.

Gou Jiao was sleeping on the table. Although his soul had left his body, his body was still breathing instinctively.

Just like the soul-leaving syndrome of mortals.

The country boy's soul was taken away by an evil spirit, but he did not die immediately. He was still breathing, as if he was sleeping soundly.

However, the breathing rhythm of the physical body will gradually slow down until it stops completely. At that time, if the soul has not returned to the body, the person will really die, and the soul will become a ghost.

The first time Gou Jiao's soul left his body, just like Xiao Yu's back then, his soul just floated over the roof and came outside.

"Whoosh~~" A gust of night wind blew, and he was like a piece of paper in a tornado, flying uncontrollably for two or three miles.

"Mr. Gou, are you okay?"

Luo Shiluan had been waiting outside, and upon seeing this, he quickly chased after him and grabbed Gou Jiao.

But as soon as she approached, Gou Jiao suddenly became like a 100,000-watt light bulb, shining brightly, and the dark winds around were all stopped.

The wind was still blowing and he steadied himself.

"Miss Luo, I'm fine."

Gou Jiao restrained the light of his soul and returned to being a normal person.

He looked curious, looking left and right, floating back and forth.

It takes half an hour to adapt to the state of the soul and feel the environment of the yin and yang worlds.

"Young master, you are a living person, and your soul has been infected by the negative energy in the ghost world. It is not good for your health." Luo Shiluan advised.

Gou Jiao smiled and said, "Miss, you worry too much. I have the Righteousness Hall to protect my mind, so it's easy to resist the evil spirit."

In order to prove that what he said was true, he took the initiative to project a beam of spiritual light onto Luo Shiluan.

Luo Shiluan felt as if he was soaking in a hot spring in a temple where saints and sages were chanting the great principles of the world.

The rationality and morality that were obscured by the fear, hatred and resentment of death deep in our hearts gradually sprouted like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.

"Sir, you are such a good person." There was admiration and loss in her eyes.

——How nice it would be if I had met him while I was alive!
"Everyone has reason in their hearts. I just practiced the Righteous Qi Jue taught by Taoist Master Luobo and turned it into spiritual power."

Gou Jiao said a humble word, then put away the light of his heart and floated towards the county government office with Luo Shiluan. According to Xiao Yu's instructions, the two did not climb over the wall or drill a hole, but walked through the main gate and entered the government office in a dignified manner.

"Buzz~~"

In a dimension invisible to mortals, the two door god paintings on the gate of the county government began to radiate a faint divine light.

The divine light spread out, forming a light golden transparent barrier that blocked the two people's way.

It was different from the two complete gods, Shentu and Yulei, that Xiaoyu saw that day.

At this time, the portrait at the entrance of the yamen only had divine light, but no divine form, let alone its "true form".

It’s not that Xiaoyu is more blessed than Goujiao, and he deserves special attention from the two great gods Shentu and Yulei.

But times have changed.

When Xiaoyu met the door god, the Human Emperor had just died in the Qin Dynasty, and the dynasty was still at its peak.

Now it is the end of the dynasty, and the Mandate of Qin only has a few years left. The county government, which carries the majesty and power of the Qin, is also "about to run out of luck."

However, the divine radiance of the door god alone is enough to resist most evil spirits.

Luo Shiluan felt a tingling pain all over her body and shrank back behind Gou Jiao, trembling.

Not only did Gou Jiao not feel any pain, he also vaguely saw two illusory divine shadows through the divine light.

He clasped his fists respectfully and saluted, saying, "I am a friend of mine from my hometown. I have followed the order of the county magistrate and brought the victim Luo Shiluan to the yamen to be interrogated."

"Go away. You are Yin beings and cannot enter government areas."

Shen Tu's voice seemed to come from hundreds of meters away. It was hollow and ethereal, without any emotional fluctuations.

This is not the real Shentu speaking, but just a natural interpretation of Shinto rules.

It was as if artificial intelligence was replying, automatically controlling the power of Shentu's laws.

Gou Jiao silently recited the "Righteous Qi Jue" and shouted in a serious tone, "The other day I was beating the drum at the gate of the government office, didn't the two gods see it?
I was in court to seek justice for Luo Shiluan, and the county magistrate asked me to find physical evidence to authenticate it.

He wants witnesses and evidence, and I have brought them now.

As great gods who monitor the human world, you must be aware of Luo Shiluan's injustice, but you did not come out to seek justice for those who have been wronged and humiliated.

Do you still dare to interfere with the humane judicial justice today?"

The door god's divine light was like a charcoal fire blown by a strong wind, with sparks flying everywhere, and the divine light was almost extinguished.

"How dare you blaspheme the gods?!" the two door gods shouted angrily together.

He still didn't show up, but his divine light became stronger and there was emotion in his voice.

"I have my reasons, why are you stopping me?"

Gou Jiao’s head became a pumpkin lantern, with his nose, mouth and eyes radiating bright light.

"Squeak!" The door, which was condensed with golden light from the door god, slowly opened.

Gou Jiao greeted Luo Shiluan and strode into the county government office.

The door god seemed to be muttering and cursing, but did not try to stop it.

As soon as he entered the yamen, Gou Jiao saw two ghosts and gods that looked familiar, and four unfamiliar ghosts and gods.

"Hey, brothers, let's retreat. The two great gods Shentu and Yulei didn't stop us. What are our little treasury gods?" The four unfamiliar ghosts and gods sighed and disappeared without a trace.

Gongcao Shen hesitated for a moment and then disappeared.

Only the Night Wandering God Meng Liang gritted his teeth and shouted, "Gou Sheng, what are you doing here? Go back!"

"roll!"

Promiscuous relationships do not mean a rude and irritable character.

At this moment, he was in a state of pure and clear nature, his thoughts were particularly sensitive and clear, he could directly feel the malice in Meng Liang, so he very rudely crushed it with the principles of light.

Meng Liang felt as if he was caught as a thief by an official. He could not control his fear and shame, and ran away in a flash.

"Young Master, you are so powerful that even the gods are afraid of you." Luo Shiluan said admiringly.

Gou Jiao shook his head and said, "Master Luobo is really powerful. His "Righteous Qi Jue" has transformed the great principles of the human world into a force that ghosts and gods cannot resist. Let's go to the backyard to find County Master Luo."

"Miss Luo, you are the victim, and there is a great cause and effect between you and the county magistrate. You should send a message to the county magistrate in your dream and ask him to do justice for you." When they arrived at the county magistrate's bedroom in the backyard, Gou Jiao said.

Both of them had received guidance from Xiaoyu before. At this time, Luo Shiluan was confused but did not hesitate at all and immediately entered the county lord's dream.

Gou Jiao stood by the bed and watched, and saw that the county lord's peaceful face was gradually distorted in fear and panic, beads of sweat oozing from his forehead, and his body was very unstable, twisting and turning constantly.

This made the wife of the county lord beside him grumble and feel very annoyed.

"Ah, ghost~~"

Half a minute later, he suddenly opened his bloodshot eyes in fear and let out a hoarse, dry howl.

"Master, did you have a nightmare?" His wife had been sleeping uncomfortably for a long time and was now completely awakened.

Gou Jiao turned his eyes away from him and turned to Luo Shiluan who had suddenly returned to the side, "What did the county lord say?"

Luo Shiluan's face almost turned into a ghost, and he gnashed his teeth and said, "This corrupt official took 500 gold and two thousand-year-old ginsengs from the Xun family, and he must be an accomplice to the evil."

“Since he has violated the authority granted by humanity, he is no longer qualified to possess the special authority derived from humanity.

Now he is a suspect like Xun Peng, the one who harmed you. You can take him to find the City God!" Gou Jiao took two steps back to make room.

Luo Shiluan is a commoner and the county magistrate is an official. The government has the responsibility to redress the grievances of the people under its jurisdiction.

If the county magistrate is corrupt and perverts the law, he will be subject to serious consequences for himself and the victims.

But it only has a causal relationship with Luo Shiluan.

"Hoo, hoo, hoo~~~" Gusts of cold wind blew open the bed curtains. Luo Shiluan's sinister voice floated into the ears of the county master and his wife in the house, almost freezing their souls.

"Luo Ren, since you want to take on this karma for the Xun family, then accept your death!"

"Ah, ghost, there is a ghost! Someone come, there is~~~" County Master Luo's eyes bulged out, he made two loud noises from his mouth, and with a "thump", his body fell stiffly to the ground.

A gust of cold wind blew, and his soul was pulled away by Luo Shiluan.

"Ah, Master, Master, what's wrong with you?"

Leaving behind the wife of the county lord crying in fear, Gou Jiao and Luo Shiluan took the pale-faced soul of the county lord and floated out of the yamen, out of the city, into the City God Temple, and sank into the City God's blessed land.
