They left Mount Zhongnan.
Lin Xiu brought Zhong Kui, Zhao Sheng, and the others.
He headed straight for Zhongnan County.
The commoners who were traveling with him did not leave either.
They all followed behind, wanting to join in the fun and see how this magical Yin-Yang Judge would deal with this matter.
Not long after, they arrived at the entrance of the county government.
He saw that the county magistrate, Zhang Dacheng, was already waiting there.
No wonder Lin Xiu came to Zhongnan County.
Even though the county magistrate had not been informed beforehand, such a huge commotion had occurred.
If he still didn't know, then he could only say that he was also a muddle-headed official.
"Zhongnan County Magistrate, Zhang Dacheng greets Yin Yang Marquis!”
Lin Xiu had just dismounted when Zhang Dacheng came forward to greet him.
"Yes, I came here to ask you something. I heard that you imprisoned a person called Zhong Li in the county government? Is that true?" Lin Xiu asked directly.
When Zhang Dacheng heard this, his expression changed slightly.
His eyeballs rolled non-stop as he bowed and said,""A year ago, I did interrogate a woman named Zhong Li. This person committed murder for money and is now in prison. He will be executed on a certain day. Lord Marquis, this is…"
"Bullshit, my sister is even afraid of killing chickens. Why would she kill for money? Moreover, that Du Ping was my good friend for many years. He once funded me to enter the capital for the imperial examination and treated my sister well. Why would they rashly kill me because of this little money?”Zhong Kui jumped out and scolded angrily.
Zhang Dacheng's expression changed when he heard this.
His gaze fell on Zhong Kui, sizing him up.
"You are…"
"I am Zhong Li's brother, Zhong Kui!”
"What? Ghost!"
When Zhang Dacheng heard this, he was so scared that his face turned pale.
He didn't know Zhong Kui because he hadn't taken up his post here six or seven years ago.
However, that didn't mean that he hadn't heard of Zhong Kui's name.
Zhong Kui's death in the main hall had spread like wildfire in Chang 'an and Zhongnan County.
In the end, just as he was about to turn around and escape.
Zhao Sheng and Li Si stood beside him.
He quickly pressed it down on the spot.
"Lord Zhang, why are you so panicked? Zhong Kui's life was not meant to end. He was now a guard of the Judge's Hall and had a third-grade title. He had returned to the world with pride. There was no need to be afraid!”Lin Xiu said with a smile.
When Zhang Dacheng heard this, he recovered a little.
He turned back and looked at Zhong Kui carefully.
It had flesh and blood. It was clearly a living person and not a ghost.
After a while, Zhang Dacheng finally let out a long sigh."So that's how it is. It's this lowly official's fault for being rude!”
Lin Xiu smiled." I believe Lord Zhang has already understood that I came here today. Zhong Kui has just returned to the world and wants to see his sister. I didn't expect to receive such bad news. Lord Zhang, can you make an exception and let the siblings see one?" Alright, let's get rid of the pain in his heart?"
Zhang Dacheng's expression changed slightly when he heard this.
He stammered for a long time but did not say a word.
Lin Xiu's gaze gradually became cold,"Why, you're not even willing to tell me about my feelings?"
Now that the case has been closed, why not let them meet? Could it be that something unexpected happened?”
Zhang Dacheng's legs trembled in fear.
He almost knelt on the ground.
His face was as pale as a piece of paper.
Trembling, he bowed and said,""No, no, no. Lord Marquis has an order, how can this lowly official dare to disobey!”
"Come on, immediately bring Zhong Li to the hall!”
"Yes, sir!"
A runner from the county government hurriedly ran towards the prison.
The expression change on Zhang Dacheng's face just now all fell into Lin Xiu's eyes.
He knew that there was something fishy about Zhong Li's case.
Otherwise, why would Zhang Dacheng appear so guilty?
Lin Xiu did not expose him. He just waited to see if he, Zhang Dacheng, finished acting this scene.
A moment later, the sound of metal chains could be heard from outside the yamen.
Zhong Kui, who was already anxious.
He quickly turned around and saw a woman with her hands and feet shackled.
His face was haggard and his body was covered in blood.
Zhong Kui's tears could not stop flowing.
Thump thump thump thump!
He took a few big steps forward and grabbed the woman in front of him.
"Sister, you, you have suffered!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the woman slowly raised her head. Her eyes were lifeless and her expression was stiff.
When she saw Zhong Kui in front of her.
He actually became excited.
"Brother, is that you? You, haven't you already…"
"It's me, little sister. You, how did you become like this? Why would he kill someone? With the help of Lord Judge, I have returned to the world!”Zhong Kui said.
"Return to the sun? In other words, her brother was still alive?”Zhong Li's eyes were extremely red.
Zhong Kui nodded repeatedly and told him how he met Lin Xiu and how he complained.
Now, with Lin Xiu's help, he was able to return to the sun.
He told Zhong Li everything.
The siblings had a deep relationship and had always depended on each other.
Now that she heard that her brother had been resurrected, she was even happier than she was living freely.
Zhong Li was happy, but Zhong Kui was not.
All these years, as a wandering ghost, she had been missing her sister.
Now that he had just returned to the world, he found out that the siblings were actually meeting each other with such identities.
"What's going on? Then why did Du Ping die? Tell me honestly!" Zhong Kui said.
Zhong Li sobbed as he nodded." Du Ping treated me like his own sister. He also sponsored my brother to enter the capital for his imperial examinations. Why would I be so cruel to kill him? If it wasn't for that…"
"Shut up!"
Just as Zhong Kui's sister was about to tell the truth.
Zhang Dacheng, who was originally beside Lin Xiu.
An angry shout interrupted him.
Zhong Li suddenly came back to his senses when he saw Zhang Dacheng.
His face was filled with fear.
Zhong Kui was furious. He turned around and was about to beat up Zhang Dacheng.
Lin Xiu was at the side and said with a cold smile,"Lord Zhang, why did you do this just now?”
"This, this…Lord Marquis, please calm down. This woman is cunning and full of nonsense. Don't be bewitched by her!”Zhang Dacheng hurriedly bowed and said.
However, the smile in Lin Xiu's eyes was disappearing bit by bit.
Instead, it was replaced with a touch of coldness.
Even Zhang Dacheng couldn't help but feel terrified when he saw this.
"Zhang Dacheng, I came here today, but you obstructed me many times. Could it be that there's really something strange about this case? If that's the case, it's hard for me not to interfere. Go and get the case file. I want to reinvestigate this case!”Lin Xiu said coldly.
Hearing this, Zhang Dacheng was terrified.
"Sir, this case has already been decided and reported to the Ministry of Justice…"
"Don't say too much. If you continue to obstruct me, don't blame me for being impolite to you!”
