Chapter 332 Helping the Ancestor to ascend to the throne (4000, the fourth update of the alliance leader’s agreement) “My brother heard that you were awake and insisted on coming over to see you at night.” In the main room, at the dinner table, Zhong Li held a bowl of warm porridge in his hands and placed it gently in front of Qin Yao. Qin Yao picked up the spoon, dug out a spoonful of porridge to test the temperature, and then began to eat happily: "Has he been here once?" "It came last night..." Zhong Li said: "You eat slowly, I've cooked a lot, it's enough." Qin Yao paused for a moment and gradually slowed down: "Then I'll come back in the evening and have a good chat with him about counterattack." Zhong Li nodded and said hesitantly: "Qin Yao, will you blame me..." “Why do you blame me?” Qin Yao was puzzled. “I am like a disaster star, bringing disaster wherever I appear.” Zhong Li lowered his head and said in a very soft voice: "Just like this time, not only did I almost kill Shi Shi, but I also made you faint for so long... The same was true for the previous marriage partners. No matter who the other party was, as long as they were with me Once the marriage relationship is confirmed, it will soon be unlucky.”
Qin Yao shook his head: "Have you ever thought that this is caused by man?" “I’ve thought about it, but even if it’s man-made, it can’t change my attribute of bringing disaster to people.” Chin Yao: “…” This sounds like there is nothing wrong with it. Man-made disasters are essentially disasters! “I don’t think so.” Shi Shi said suddenly. “Huh?” Zhong Li suddenly raised his head, with a look of astonishment on his face. "More than four hundred years ago, my parents died because of me. At that time, I also thought that I was a disaster, and it was me who caused the destruction of the family. Without me, my parents would not have died tragically. I hate, I am angry. , but can't do anything, not even myself, can escape the mercy of the Ghost King..." Listening to Shi Shi’s story, Zhong Li was stunned. My own experiences are indeed nothing compared to the despair of the other party. No, it should be said that there is no comparability at all! If compared to others, Zhong Li even feels that he is a bit pretentious. “Later…” Shi Shi looked up at Qin Yao, with a smile on his face: "When I couldn't even hold a decent funeral, my uncle came. He helped me bury my parents in glory, helped me kill the murderer who killed my parents, helped me deal with my blood-sucking relatives, and helped me gain stability. " With that said, she turned to look at Zhong Li and said seriously: "I can do it, and so can you." Zhong Li looked moved and nodded fiercely: "Thank you..." Shi Shi waved his hand: "You're welcome, it's good if you feel better." Zhong Li was silent for a moment, and then suddenly said: "Shi Shi, let's get married to Jinlan."
Shi Shi: “???” Nekomata: "（╯#-_-)╯╧═╧" Qin Yao blinked, nodded and said, "I think it's okay!" Zhong Li followed the voice and said: "Me and her, me and you, each has his own business." Qin Yao’s lips twitched: “Who do you think I am?” “The look in your eyes just now was wrong.” Zhong Li said with certainty. Chin Yao: “…” Grass. Can you see all this? “Shi Shi, are you afraid that I will harm you?” Zhong Li asked. … She didn't react just now, but now that the other party has said so, it's hard for her to refuse anymore. “I don’t agree!” Nemomata said seriously. "Ah, I'm sorry, I forgot about you." Zhong Li looked apologetic and said, "Then the three of us will marry Jinlan, just like the three in Taoyuan." Nekomata: “o(=ェ=)m” That’s not what I mean… After the meal, the cat turned into a human again, and knelt at the entrance of the hall with Zhong Li and Shi Shi. Facing the blue sky and white clouds outside the door, they said in unison: "The sky is above, and the thick soil is the proof. Today, my cat (Zhong Li, Shi Shi) Shi Shi) and the three of them became sworn sisters. From then on, they depended on each other in life and death and shared weal and woe. If they disobeyed, they would be punished by heaven and earth." "The ceremony is complete, the drink is the victory." Qin Yao came to them with three bowls of wine and said with a smile. The three women each picked up a bowl of wine, turned around and touched the edge of the bowl, smiling in acquaintance... “I was born in the early Tang Dynasty, what about you?” After drinking the wine, the three women helped each other stand up, and Zhong Li asked with a smile. “I am born in the Northern Song Dynasty.” Maoyou said. “I am born in the Ming Dynasty.” Shi Shi smiled slightly. “Second sister, third sister.” Zhong Li said. “Eldest sister, third sister.” Cat said. “Eldest sister, second sister.” Shi Shi said. Qin Yao secretly said: "The integration of the world is really wonderful." It’s simply wonderful!
That night. Zhong Kui, with his big sleeves fluttering, rode the wind and fell from the sea of stars into Shi Shi's courtyard. He shouted loudly: "Little sister, Qin Yao, Shi Shi, Mao You..." Three people and a cat followed the sound. Zhong Li smiled and said, "Where's the gift?" "Bring it, bring it." Zhong Kui dug into his sleeves and took out two red gift boxes, handing one to Shi Shi and placing the other in front of Black Cat: "Shi Shi, Nekomata, this is a gift from my brother to you. " “Where’s mine?” Qin Yao asked eagerly. Zhong Kui’s carefully prepared gift, can you do anything? There must be something good in it! “You didn’t.” Zhong Kui said without thinking. Chin Yao: “???” Grass. So heartless? I just saved your sister! Zhong Kui's eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts. He stared at him and said, "Marry my sister, and everything I have will be yours." Chin Yao: “…” “Brother.” Zhong Li called. “Okay, okay, okay, I won’t mention it, won’t mention it, okay?” Zhong Kui waved his hand and said, "Qin Yao, I won't help Zhong Li repay the favor she owes you. If you want it, go to her yourself." Qin Yao’s mouth twitched. I want a baby. “Brother, how’s your investigation going?” Zhong Li didn’t want to embarrass Qin Yao, so he quickly changed the subject. "All information about Li Shimin has been blocked and cannot be found." Zhong Kui shook his head: "The ghost judge has obviously made preparations in advance. Even if we bring Li Shimin to confront him in person, he will still have some excuses." “Then what should we do?” Zhong Li asked anxiously. Now she has determined that if the ghost is not dead for a day, she will be a disaster star for a day! “Qin Yao, how do you think we should deal with it?” Zhong Kui asked. Qin Yao pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "Make things bigger, the bigger the trouble, the better." "We don't have any definite evidence to convict him. It's just a witness. It can't bring down a big government official." Zhong Kui said seriously. “If you go to the Ten Palaces of Yama, you need evidence to convict. But if you go to the Emperor, do you still need evidence?” Qin Yao chuckled. “Do you dare to go?” Zhong Kui asked. Qin Yao: "Of course I dare!"
"Okay." Zhong Kui laughed and waved, "Take Li Shimin with you and come with me to make a scene now." “Brother, I want to go too.” Zhong Li said excitedly. "You can't. Just stay here and wait for us to come back." Zhong Kui flatly refused. “Why?” Zhong Li asked reluctantly. Zhong Kui: “You will become a drag.” Zhong Li was unconvinced: "I am stronger than Qin Yao!" “Then why did he save you?” ˆZhongli: “…” Qin Yao quickly came to the pavilion, untied the rope that tied Li Shimin, and said in a solemn voice: "This is your last chance to overthrow the ghost judge. If you show your worth in this contest, I can intercede for you. The sentence is lighter, at least it won’t be so painful.” Li Shimin gritted his teeth: "Don't worry, I'm definitely on your side." Three hours later. Midnight at midnight. The Ghost Judge was handling government affairs in the Si Yamen when he suddenly heard shouts coming from the door. He frowned and said, "Who is making noise outside the hall?" “Bang, bang.” As soon as he finished speaking, two guards were thrown in. Zhong Kui, dressed in a red robe and holding a demon-conquering sword, strode over and shouted in a deep voice: "Ghost judge, you tampered with the book of life and death, used power for personal gain, and used power to harm others." Come, come with me to the Imperial Palace!" Just when the ghost judge was about to pretend to be stupid, he suddenly saw Qin Yao slowly walking in from the corner of his eye, and his soul trembled subconsciously. But he remembered that severe beating! "Don't try to act crazy or act stupid. There is no way for you to avoid or escape today." Zhong Kui said sternly. The judge took a deep breath and said, "Where is the evidence?" “When you arrive at the Imperial Palace, you will naturally see the evidence.” The ghost judge sneered: "You can't even produce evidence, so you want me to go with you. Why?" “Don’t mess around.” Zhong Kui shouted angrily. "You are the one who is really messing around. Come and capture them." The ghost judge shouted loudly. "No need to shout, your people are exchanging feelings with mine, no one will come in to help you." Zhong Kui said coldly. The ghost judge's pupils shrank: "The soldiers are surrounding the government office, and the roommates are fighting with each other. You want to rebel!" "I am leading the team to enforce the law." Zhong Kui said solemnly: "I am the head of the punishment department, and punishing evil is my duty." The ghost judge stared at him. Zhong Kui stared, unwilling to be outdone. "Don't force me!" The ghost judge took out a ghost-slaying sword from his hand, seemingly ready to use it.
. Zhong Kui drew out the Demon-Conquering Sword with his backhand, held the sword ready for battle, and said encouragingly: "You can try to break out of the encirclement." Ghost judge: “…” I tried to break out, and then you turned around and went to the emperor to accuse me of absconding out of fear of crime? “Zhong Kui, let me go this time. I promise I will never go against you again.” After a long time, Gui Jing was subdued and said softly. Zhong Kui raised his sword, his face as dark as water: "If you only target me, even if you lose everything, I can still give you a face, but you want to harm my sister. If I don't kill you, how will I face her in the future? ? Come on, let me see how much you have grown over the years." The ghost judge’s eyes flickered uncertainly, and thoughts were racing in his mind. After hesitating for a long time, he glanced at Qin Yao from the corner of his eye, who seemed to be watching a show. He threw away the ghost-killing sword with a clang and sighed: "You win!" Based on his current crimes, if he meets the emperor, the most he can do is to be dismissed from his post and investigated. But if he chooses to confront Zhong Kui head-on, even if he can escape from the hall, he will not be able to find anyone who can save him. What's more, what if you can't escape? He didn't dare to bet whether Zhong Kui would take this opportunity to kill him. After all, the crime of killing a criminal who resisted with force was not enough to shake a senior official. By then, wouldn’t my death have been in vain? ? ? “You are sure you want to follow me to see the emperor. Once you go to the emperor’s place, you will no longer be able to hide the dirty things you have done.” Zhong Kui seemed to be disappointed with his actions, and even said seductively without concealing it. "Stop talking nonsense, aren't you going to take me to see the emperor? Go now!" the ghost judge said sharply. Zhong Kui sighed, turned to Qin Yao who was eating melon at the scene, and asked: "Do you have any familiar officials in the underworld? The lowest level is a judge." Qin Yao was stunned, a bold idea suddenly appeared in his heart, and his eyes couldn't help but widen. “No?” Zhong Kui asked. “Yes, Zhang Deyang!” Qin Yao said loudly. “Zhang Deyang…” Zhong Kui muttered the name and found that he didn't have the slightest impression of it. It was obvious that the other party was just a minor judge in the underworld, not a major judge. “That’s right.” Qin Yao said: "Judge Zhang is diligent and hard-working, and he has always been a role model for our generation! It was because of Judge Zhang's encouragement that I embarked on the road to pass the Yinsi examination and became one of thousands of candidate officials." Zhong Kui looked at him deeply and said pointedly: "Wait here for my return." “Yes.” Qin Yao said, cupping his hands. Not far away, the ghost judge twitched his cheek. Even Qin Yao could hear what Zhong Kui meant, let alone him.
Unexpectedly, one move was missing and the whole game was lost. He was completely defeated and had no room to speak. I just hope that the emperor can remember his old feelings and let him live, so as not to complete the matter. Shortly after. Watching them leave, Qin Yao walked around the room restlessly... No wonder he was so nervous. If this case can be used to push Zhang Deyang to the position of ghost judge, then his contribution to Maoshan will far exceed what Maoshan gave him. After the news is spread back to Maoshan, whether in Waimao or Neimao, he will invisibly gain a transcendent status! In Maoshan, status is linked to power. With this detachment, Chen Qingyan can no longer force him to be the leader and shine for Maoshan. With this detachment, even if he is walking in the Nei Mao as a junior, no one will dare to put on the airs of a senior in front of him. Not to mention, Zhang Deyang will help him openly and covertly in the future... There are so many benefits, so great, how can it not make his mind sway? This is because he is not a party involved. If Zhang Deyang knew that he might become a yamen-level official, Qin Yao would probably be even more panicked than himself. After all, it is a carrot and a pit, and it is difficult for high-ranking officials in the underworld to survive, resulting in the road to promotion getting narrower. Many officials have endured for hundreds, even thousands of years, without making any progress... Turning around again and again, Qin Yao almost fainted, but Zhong Kui didn't come back for a long time, so that his heart kept sinking. Those who are late will change! If everything went well, why did it take so long? Finally, when he couldn't help but go out for the third time, Zhong Kui came back with an expressionless face. “Brother, is everything going well?” Qin Yao asked. “It went smoothly.” Zhong Kui nodded. “That matter of official position…” “The official position thing is a bit troublesome.” Zhong Kui shook his head. Qin Yao's heart instantly sank to the bottom of the valley. Sure enough… It’s because I’m having a wild idea. This is the head of a government office, not a pheasant title! “Did someone with more qualifications appear?” Qin Yao said dejectedly. A smile quickly flashed across Zhong Kui's face, he shook his head and said, "No."
“What’s the problem?” Qin Yao was stunned. Zhong Kui pursed his lips and said, "The biggest problem is that it also depends on whether Zhang Deyang is willing to be promoted!" Chin Yao: “???” Depend on! Four times, four times. Pay it back once, pay it back once. Hahahahaha~
