Haishi.
Countless stars dotted the ink-like sky.
They were woven together like a galaxy.
The crescent moon hung above his head, trying to disperse the darkness around him.
The Judge Hall was still brightly lit as usual.
Not long after, a group of people walked out of the hall and headed straight for the city gate.
"Lord Marquis, what do you want this old servant to help with?”
Supervisor Wang asked curiously as he walked.
Lin Xiu smiled." I've been craving for fish recently, so how could I not have time? Tonight, I'll have to trouble Supervisor Wang to go to the river and catch a few."”
"Eat fish? What's so difficult about this? Lord Marquis had said so earlier. Tomorrow this old servant will buy it for Lord Marquis on the streets!”Supervisor Wang let out a sigh of relief.
So Lin Xiu took such a big detour just to eat the fish?
Lin Xiu smiled and shook his head." The fish in the market aren't fresh enough. I like to eat freshly caught fish!"”
"This…then this old servant will go to Wei River tomorrow to fish for Lord Marquis?”
"That's not true. The water of the Wei River is crystal clear. How can there be fish?”
"Then Lord Marquis wants to…"
"You can fish by the moat!"
"Ah?"
When he heard this, Supervisor Wang's expression changed drastically.
Fishing in the moat? It was already so late at night…not to mention that a murder had just happened yesterday.
If he went there to fish, wouldn't he be courting death?
Even if it wasn't haunted, it could scare people to death.
Who would go fishing by the moat at night?
Supervisor Wang was also a person whose thoughts moved quickly. He turned his head to look at Lin Xiu and secretly felt hatred in his heart.
He thought to himself that this Lin Xiu did not want to eat any fish. He was simply playing with him.
He had already remembered what happened yesterday.
Now, he wanted to use such a thing to punish himself.
But if he didn't go, he definitely wouldn't be able to get Lin Xiu's forgiveness. If he went fishing…
"Lord…Lord Marquis wants to eat fish. Why don't this old servant fish for Lord Marquis tomorrow morning? Why go fishing in the middle of the night?”Supervisor Wang said with a smile.
"Why? Is Supervisor Wang going back on his word?”Lin Xiu turned around and asked.
Supervisor Wang was stunned, and his expression changed continuously.
After a long time, he gritted his teeth and nodded."This old servant doesn't dare, but this old servant wants to ask if Lord Marquis will forgive this old servant as long as this old servant fishes in the moat tonight?”
"That's right!" Lin Xiu smiled and nodded.
"Alright, this old servant will fish!"
Lin Xiu secretly laughed and did not say anything more. The group of people headed straight for the city gate.
During the day, Lin Xiu had already asked Zhao Sheng to come over and greet the soldiers guarding the city gate.
Just as they arrived, someone went over to open the city gate.
At this moment, Zhao Sheng took out a fishing rod, a fish basket, and a low stool and handed them to Supervisor Wang.
Supervisor Wang looked at these fishing tools and felt uneasy.
"Lord Marquis, I'm afraid that this old servant's departure will be disastrous. If any danger occurs, I hope Lord Marquis can return and report the funeral to His Majesty. Just say that this old servant has not been able to serve His Majesty well in this life.”Supervisor Wang said with a sobbing tone.
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Sheng, Meng Lang, Li Si, and the others could not help but secretly laugh.
He thought to himself, Isn't it just going to fish? Why is there so much drama?
Fortunately, Cheng Chumo didn't follow him and let him stay in the judge hall to guard the house.
Otherwise, with his personality, he might have kicked him out of the door.
Lin Xiu nodded." Supervisor Wang, don't worry. If there's really danger, I believe His Majesty will also give you a lavish burial!"”
"What? Lord…Lord Marquis, don't scare this old servant!”Supervisor Wang's expression changed again.
After Lin Xiu's reassurance.
Then, he turned his head back three times with every step he took and walked out of the city gate.
Clang! Clang! There was a dull, loud sound.
The city gate closed again.
"Lord Marquis, what should we do now?”
When Supervisor Wang had just left, Zhao Sheng quickly came over to ask.
Lin Xiu smiled." If there really is a demon, it will definitely appear tonight. Supervisor Wang is a feminine person, which suits that demon's appetite. Who knows, he might be forced to appear. At that time, you only need to…"
Under Lin Xiu's arrangements.
Zhao Sheng, Meng Lang, and Li Si smiled and nodded.
After a while, they opened the city gate and led a dozen bailiffs out of the city.
Lin Xiu turned around and walked up the city gate tower.
He looked at the moat.
At this moment, a gust of cold wind blew past him.
Li Yuanba and the eighteen riders of Yan Yun appeared beside him.
"My lord!"
Lin Xiu turned around and said to them,"If that demon really appears tonight, you guys capture it directly!"”
"Yes, my lord!"
Another gust of cold wind blew, and Li Yuanba and the eighteen riders of Yan Yun disappeared.
At this moment.
Supervisor Wang trembled as he carried a fishing rod and a fish basket and walked towards the moat.
This place was gloomy, and from time to time, the cold night wind blew across the water.
There was no grass around, but the sound of insects could be heard.
If it was at night, no one would be willing to come close.
Supervisor Wang was extremely afraid, but since things had come to this, he could only grit his teeth and brace himself to walk on.
After a while, they arrived at the shore.
Supervisor Wang followed Lin Xiu's instructions and placed the fish basket at the side and sat on the low stool.
He was muttering something.
He threw the fishing rod into the river.
With a soft splash, the fishing line sank into the water and disappeared.
Originally, fishing was an activity to cultivate one's body and train one's endurance.
At this moment, Supervisor Wang didn't seem to be enjoying himself at all.
His expression was much more solemn than when he was on the execution ground.
He kept muttering something and never stopped.
" Lingling, Lingling, Grandpas and Grandmas, please don't blame me. I came here late at night just to catch two fish. I don't mean to disturb you. I hope you can bless me so that I can catch them quickly so that I can go back earlier. Please don't blame me…"
Supervisor Wang muttered as he sat there trembling.
Time passed slowly.
It's time for midnight.
The originally bright night sky gradually darkened.
Looking up, there seemed to be a large dark cloud hanging over his head.
The moonlight and starlight were all covered in it.
Instantly, the surroundings turned pitch-black.
Supervisor Wang was even more horrified.
He felt cold sweat on his back.
However, at this moment.
A cold night breeze blew across the water.
The wind was not strong, but it made Supervisor Wang shiver.
Right at this moment, a strange croak sounded in the night sky.
Supervisor Wang trembled in fear.
He quickly looked up and let out a miserable cry.
He threw away the fishing rod in his hand, turned around, and ran towards the city gate.
" Mother, help! Someone save me…"
