Chapter 245 Chang Jin sits in the lobby

The new god ascended the throne and the City God Temple wished Zhao Laoba very happy because this means that he had another half a tael of incense money to get every month.

In the past, many people worshipped the city gods. Some of them would stuff some of the merit boxes with some of them. Of course, there were also generous believers who could spend a few taels of silver at one move.

All these incense money must be registered. Although they are managed by Zhao Laoba, they are not owned by him. Most of them need to be handed over to the government to save. In the famine, they can be used to provide relief to the victims, provide porridge, etc.

However, the remaining half of the taels of silver per month is counted as his wages to guard the temple.

The City God ascended the throne without any warning and had no time to sculpt the statue of the god. In desperation, Zhao Laoba had to find a carpenter and asked him to carve a divine plaque and temporarily place it on the divine platform for people to worship.

The carpenter was also a believer of the City God. After receiving the instructions, he did not dare to relax at all. In half a day, he had already made the tablet. Then Zhao Laoba put a few incense sticks and respectfully placed the tablet on the divine platform.

But now the people of Wanshan Prefecture are skeptical. In a day, there are not many believers who burn incense. As for the money donated to incense, there is no one.

Chang Jin left a projection in the divine realm of the City God Temple, so he certainly knew about this. He didn't care about the rare things that believers had. It took a process to adapt to these believers from doubt to faith.

As night fell, he led Xiaomu back to the City God's mansion early and began to try the criminals in the Yinsi prison. As expected, the previous City God Wei Yuan only knew how to ask for incense and had no interest in investigating the Yinsi prison. In just a few months, the prison was overcrowded, with thousands of people.

Chang Jin casually looked through a few pages of the Yinshi Law and found that it was no different from what he saw when he was serving as the thoroughfare land. It is true that the Shinto of the Tongshi County is under the jurisdiction of the City God, so how could there be too much difference between the Yinshi Law?

After seeing the "Take a Criminal", he immediately ordered the ghost soldiers on both sides. Originally, these things needed to be assisted by the judge, but unfortunately, Chang Jin had already killed Judge Xie last night, so now he can only do it himself.

Next, the Yin soldiers in the hall saw what it means to make a quick case. The City God was very familiar with the law. When he met a ghost, he started to quibble and casually said the corresponding clause to rebuke, and the other party was speechless.

In less than two hours, dozens of old cases were tried, and many of them were also corrected by him.

At this time, another ghost was suppressed by the officer. The other party was wearing a long robe and dressed as a scholar. When he saw this person, Chang Jin felt very kind and was about to get up to say hello.

But I knew that the scholar had just been dragged to the hall and cursed: "You dog official, let me go quickly and let me go. My father is guilty and I have the punishment of the king. How can you be punished by your dead ghosts at will... Let me tell you that if the great injustice is not clear, my heart will not die. Even if I see the Ten Palaces of Hell in the underworld, I must sue it."

"Oh" Chang Jin was so confused that he was scolded that he hurriedly looked at the scripture in his hand. The ghost of scholar occupied by His Highness was named Xi Fangping, who was charged with false accusation of others, so he was arrested by the ghost and was imprisoned after trial.

False accusation of others?? Seeing this case, Chang Jin immediately raised a question. Even if Xi Fangping falsely accused others, the Yangshi government should make a judgment. How could the City God write the judgment on the case? It is obviously unreasonable.

Judging from the time, this case has been tried for several months, and it was exactly what happened when Wei Yuan was the City God.

If you guessed it wrong, this should be another wrong case. Thinking of this, Chang Jin spoke loudly: "Xi Fangping, look clearly with wide eyes. I am the new city god, not a dog official. If you have any grievances, you can report it in detail. I will make a decision for you."

"You are the city god...whether the dog official Wei Yuan?" Because the curtains blocked, Xi Fangping had not seen clearly the person sitting on the stage far away. Now that he heard the sound and looked up, he could clearly see the appearance of the god.

"Wei Yuanwudao, you have already set up the altar. If you have any grievances, tell me quickly." Chang Jin urged again.

"I beg the City God to be the leader, the villain Xi Fangping is a person from Wanshan Mansion..."

In the other party's story, Chang Jin understood the general idea of ​​the matter.

Xi Fangping's father was named Xi Lian. He was a simple person by nature. He had a grudge against a rich man named Yang from his neighbor due to a quarrel. The man surnamed Yang died first; soon Xi Lian fell ill in bed and was dying.

When he was about to die, Xi Lian grabbed his son's hand and cried, saying that the person named Yang went to the underworld first, bribed the underworld and beat him with a stick, tortured him day and night. After that, Xi Lian screamed and died.

The descendants of the Xi family initially thought that their father was talking nonsense, but when they sent someone to restrain the body, they found that his father's whole body was red and swollen, which was terrible. Thinking of what Xi Lian shouted before, Xi Fangping was extremely sad and asked his brother to explain, saying that his father was honest and loyal, with a dull mouth and tongue. Today he was bullied by evil spirits and wanted to go to the underworld to avenge his father.

The brother naturally refused and hurriedly found someone to lock Xi Fangping in the house to guard him. He didn't know that he was sitting alone in the room, without eating or drinking, and he was so angry that he came to the Yin Si, shouting for justice, and asking the City God to preside over his father.

The rich man named Yang was very scared when he learned about this. He used the incense power offered by his descendants to open up the joints before he appeared in court to confront him. After receiving the bribe, Wei Yuan said that what Xi Fangping had sued was not true and unreasonable, and then he was put in prison.

"Damn it." After hearing Xi Fangping talk about the incident, Chang Jin suddenly slapped the table and said to the left and right: "Take the rich man to the hall."

"Yes" the left and right officers got the order and turned over and left immediately.

Chang Jin said to Xi Fangping again at this time: "Don't worry, if what you said is true, this City God will seek justice for you father and son."

"Thank you, Mr. Chenghuang."

Not long after, the rich man named Yang brought him. This person was obese, narrow-eyed, and had a mustache. He looked like a treacherous person.

When he arrived at the hall, the rich man Yang knelt down: "The little man Yang Baocai has met the city god Master Wei Yuan. I wish the great master of the city god to improve day by day and enter the realm of the true god as soon as possible."

"Haha, you are a clever person. Look up and see if this master is Wei Yuan." Chang Jin smiled when he heard this. Although this person's flattery was a bit vulgar, his tone seemed extremely sincere, making people feel very comfortable.

"Who are you?" Sheep rich man narrowed his eyes and asked in surprise when he found that the person in the hall did not recognize him.

"Bold, Wei Yuanwudao has been defeated from the altar. This is the new city god Mr. Chang." A servant immediately spoke up and scolded.

"The City God is here, I forgive the young man who doesn't know Mount Tai. Then Wei Yuan ignored everything after he was appointed as the City God and deserved to be cast off the altar. Mr. Chang saw that he was wise and martial. Being the City God is a blessing for the people of my Wanshan Palace. Later, the young man would sue the descendants of the Yang family and burn more incense to the City God..."
