Chapter 561: Three Years Later

"The Emperor is out!"

At this time, the door of Niangniang's bedroom slowly opened, and I saw the emperor walking out with a heavy expression, and Meng Po followed behind him, with a very solemn expression.

"Everyone, let's move to the Houtu Palace and speak."

Houtu Palace is the front hall of Niangniang, and the emperor walked over with everyone as he spoke.

Ding Xiaoyi naturally followed obediently, bowing his head all the way, for fear of being seen by Meng Po.

However, Meng Po looked preoccupied, but she was indifferent to Ding Xiaoyi who was hiding behind.

Only when everyone came to the main hall and stood on both sides, the emperor also sat on the phoenix chair that should have been the mother, and everyone bent down to worship the emperor.

"The underworld continues to crack, it will inevitably hurt Niangniang's luck, from today Niangniang's palace will be relocated to the mountain, no one is allowed to enter the mountain to disturb, violators ......"

The emperor had a cold face, his eyes scanned the surroundings, and his voice was piercing and cold: "There is no forgiveness for killing!"

Everyone was in a state of mind and obeyed the order.

No one dared to question the emperor's order, not to mention that not long ago, 30,000 hussars came out of the dark land, although there was no real recovery, but just that monstrous battle intent, I knew that the power that the emperor had accumulated over the years was not much worse than back then.

"Meng Po, you clean up and go to the secluded mountain with Niangniang."

Meng Po nodded indifferently: "So old and go back to clean up some soft first." ”

"No, there is no shortage of all the items, if there is really something missing, someone will naturally help you get it at that time."

The Great Emperor said, his eyes scanning Meng Po's face: "Without further ado, let's leave as soon as possible." ”

"Obey the Emperor's decree."

At this time, Meng Po didn't dare to say a word, and hurriedly ordered her to retreat, and when she walked out of the main hall, she saw Ding Xiaoyi standing at the door of the hall.

After hesitating for a moment, he still said to Ding Xiaoyi: "Boy, the old body is not here for this time, Rong'er will entrust it to you, dare to let her down, hum, the old body will never spare you." ”

After speaking, he didn't even have a chance to be polite to Ding Xiaoyi, so he turned around and walked out of the hall.

On the side, Liao Qiu elbowed him and laughed in a low voice: "Yes, no one can stop you in the future." ”

Ding Xiaoyi glanced at Liao Qiu, if Yu Niang heard this, it was indispensable to pick up a layer of skin on herself.

However, he was very strange in his heart, since he was taking care of his mother, why didn't Meng Po simply bring Chai Rong with him, so that he would not have any chance at all, and Meng Po could also prevent Chai Rong from seeing him with peace of mind.

Instead of bringing Chai Rong, there is a feeling of entrusting to yourself.

In confusion, the Emperor continued to issue new orders.

Just like the message given by Song Xingxue, the emperor decided to open the abandoned ancient road deep in the Yellow Springs and rebuild the dock.

As soon as this news came out, except for a few people who had already known the news in advance, the rest of the people were all shocked.

"The emperor can't, how many smuggled evil ghosts are hidden under the Yellow Spring, once the ancient road is opened, the world will be destined to be a catastrophe."

The ten halls of Hades played one after another, and even Fat Fat symbolically came out to express his objection.

After all, the stakes are high, and he can't say anything if he doesn't object to it.

But the emperor was not consulting with everyone at all, and directly vetoed them.

"Emperor Qi, the ferry pier has long been destroyed, and now it is rebuilt, but it is rebuilt on the original site?"

The young man stepped forward and asked.

Ding Xiaoyi chuckled in his heart, and looked at the old guy, isn't this intentional, rebuilt on the original site, isn't his old nest gone?

"I think the original site is the best." The Blood River Ancestor's eyes lit up, and he stepped forward and echoed:

"The location of the ferry terminal is the best, and the second is not difficult to rebuild, but I heard that some people have taken the abandoned pier for themselves without permission, and I don't know ......."

The Blood River Ancestor squinted at Ding Xiaoyi and the others, and thought to himself, you few plundered my sea of blood, and today I will destroy the den of thieves of you people.

However, when he heard this, he frowned and silently retreated to the crowd, obviously saying that it had nothing to do with what he had mentioned.

This move made Xuehe feel a little unhappy in his heart, but he helped him, why did this guy actually retreat.

"It's right where it is."

The emperor didn't wait for him to continue, nodded in agreement, Ding Xiaoyi's heart sank, but he heard the emperor continue: "It's just that the location has to be changed, the original location is uneven, and there are many wreckage, just let the Ministry of Industry rebuild it on the side of the original site." ”

Hearing this, Ding Xiaoyi's heart suddenly relaxed, this feeling is good.

Not only did he keep his old nest, but when the wharf was built, wouldn't the business of his own farmhouse be on the right track?

Thinking of this, he looked at the Great Emperor, thinking that sure enough, the Great Emperor was still reliable.

The Blood River Ancestor didn't expect the Great Emperor to play this hand, and his face was suddenly full of mistakes, how could he teach the original location if he changed places? Isn't this a clear show of favoritism?

But when he raised his head to take a look, he was startled by the emperor's cold eyes, and the picture of being taught by the emperor resurfaced in his mind, and he hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to talk nonsense.

However, before the Blood River Ancestor retreated to the crowd, the Great Emperor sneered: "Blood River, someone recently sued you, saying that you drank in the city in vain and didn't pay for the wine?" ”

"Huh? No, I ......" The Blood River Ancestor was stunned, I don't know how the Great Emperor would mention such a big thing.

But the emperor didn't intend to listen to his defense, and his face turned pale: "The lord of the dignified sea of blood, what do you think about every day when you are drunk and dreaming of death, since you want to open the ancient road, I will punish you to guard the town for three hundred years, and meditate on yourself." ”

"Huh??"

The Blood River Ancestor was stupid, he was looking for Ding Xiaoyi and their trouble, why didn't he hit the fox, but caused a commotion?

The corners of the mouths of the bad old man and the others on the side couldn't help but rise, and they couldn't help laughing wildly in their hearts.

didn't seem to be surprised by this result at all, thinking that I was afraid that Xuehe had been drinking all these years and his brain was confused.

I don't even dare to mention this matter, what the hell did you bring up Blood River?

Don't you know that the land was exported by the Emperor? You brought it up and hit the emperor in the face.

If you are not punished for going to the Eighteen Hells with you, it can be regarded as the Emperor's extra kindness.

He stood aside, looking at his pig teammate with disgust on his face.

Originally, he meant that if the wharf was to be rebuilt, even if it was on the original site, a tax collector would need to be dispatched.

He originally wanted to take the opportunity to push Song Xingxue up, and when the time came, he and Ding Xiaoyi could be regarded as mutual elbows.

Unexpectedly, this pig teammate who didn't understand anything about the situation was inserted sideways and splashed dirty water on the emperor's head, deserving of this simple man to be a gatekeeper for three hundred years.

"Emperor Qijuan, since the ancient road has been restored and the wharf has been rebuilt, the minister suggests that a tax collector be sent to restore taxes and subsidize the salaries owed by the Ten Palaces Yama over the years."

The bad old man seized the opportunity and preemptively proposed.

"Accurate!" After finishing speaking, he glanced at everyone, and finally looked at Liao Qiu: "Let Liao Qiu handle this matter, you are limited to rebuild the dock within one year, and pay off the bad debts of the Ten Halls over the years within three years." ”

Liao Qiu listened to the front, and almost fell to the ground with excitement, shouting long live, but when he heard the latter paragraph, tears fell on the spot.

It is not difficult to rebuild the wharf in a year, and if you spend your own money, the household department will be completed in less than a month.

But three years to pay off the bad debts of the Ten Halls of Yama, isn't this clear that you have to pay out of your own pocket? ?

How much money has the Ten Halls of Yama owed over the years? It is said that Niu Tou Ma Mian has never seen the so-called Yu Lu until he joined the company.

Every month, it is a stroke on the ledger as usual, even if it is owed.

You must know that the Yama Hall is not a bare bull head and horse face, there are three thousand little ghosts up and down, and that one is not opening his mouth to ask for money and stretching out his hand for food.

's own family fund, it is estimated that this half may not be able to fill it.

So to pay off this bad debt in three years, this is clearly the rhythm of the emperor to make himself pay money.

For a while, the Blood River Ancestor and the Emperor of the Void suddenly balanced their hearts, and they sneered on their faces, if this money goes down, the God of Wealth will also become a poor ghost.

Even if Liao Qiu was not happy, he could only take this errand head-on.

After the emperor finished explaining, he hurriedly got up and left.

Only the people in the hall were left whispering to each other.

"Congratulations, congratulations......"

The kings of the ten halls of Yama stepped forward to congratulate Liao Qiu, although he was only a tax official, he was also a Yin official of the Eight Classics.

This is what Liao Qiu had dreamed of before.

Now that his wish has finally come true, Liao Qiu can't laugh at all.

As for the Ten Halls of Yama, they were laughing one by one, so they asked Liao Qiu when he planned to fill in the thousand-year-old bad debts of the Yama Palace.

"Hey, why bother, just to fight for this position?"

Chubby clasped his hands in his arms and mourned for Liao Qiu for three minutes.

The bad old man disagreed: "You can earn more money if you spend it, and some positions must not be lost." ”

In fact, if he didn't mention the bad account of the Ten Palaces of Yama Palace, the Great Emperor would not give this position to Liao Qiu, since he proposed it himself, as a price, Liao Qiu's payment was a sure thing.

This is the tacit understanding between the monarch and the minister.

Otherwise, why stop their mouths, even if they send someone to take over now, I'm afraid they won't dare to pick up this hot potato.

Unless they can come up with enough money to fill in the bad debts of the Yama Hall for thousands of years.

But if you look at the two poor ghosts, Yong Xiao and Xuehe, they can't turn out a few cents in their trouser pockets, and the poor clang, let them take out the money, I'm afraid it won't be enough to pull them to sell their butts.

On the other side, Niangniang's phoenix carriage was ready, and Meng Po stood outside the carriage, waiting quietly, with a helpless face.

Occasionally, seeing the people coming out of the Houtu Palace in the distance, still discussing the emperor's new policy, Meng Po couldn't help but sigh and said in her heart: "A group of mallets! ”

"Let's go."

The voice of the emperor came from the carriage at this time, and even if Meng Po was a hundred reluctant in her heart, she could only follow the carriage slowly and honestly.

The carriage rose slowly, flat and stable, but a little bump could still be felt inside.

Suddenly, I heard a slight vomiting sound in the carriage.

It's just that the sound is so small that it is almost impossible to hear it from the outside of the carriage, and until the carriage leaves the city of vain, everyone does not realize the seriousness of the matter.

Ding Xiaoyi walked out of the main hall, looked at the carriage in the distance, and suddenly patted his head: "It's nothing to do with me, why am I here." ”

said that there was a problem with Niangniang's body, and she came in a hurry, and she didn't even see Niangniang's fingers.

The Emperor announced some policies, but these policies have little to do with him, and can even be said to be good news.

After all, his farmhouse is on the edge of the pier, and he won't make a lot of money when the time comes.

In addition, there is also good news, naturally I don't have to worry about Meng Po looking for revenge in the future.

His face was full of optimism.

On the side, Liao Qiu was crying with a sad face, patted him on the shoulder, and said with relief: "One gain and one loss, it is the cycle of heavenly principles, don't be an official if you have money, don't want money if you have power, look at it." ”

"Just ......"

Tu Tu frowned, she didn't care about money, after all, this tax official was not a big official position, but the five ghost emperors had to send a group of people to him.

And give him a portion of authority, which is also a position of real power.

"It's just that you don't think that today's events are a bit ......" Tu Tu can't tell what's wrong.

But a woman's natural instinct tells her that they don't seem to have found the key point in today's events.

"Hiss......"

Hearing her say this, Chubby really felt a little wrong: "It's a little thundery, and the rain is small, shouldn't the focus be on the mother??" ”

As soon as Chubby's voice fell, everyone looked at each other, and suddenly felt that there was a smell of conspiracy in the air.

But by the time they noticed something was wrong, the carriage was long gone.

At this time, even if they followed the ten dares, they didn't dare to catch up and see what was going on.

I can only leave the city of vain with doubts.

Time is in a hurry.

In the blink of an eye, three years have passed.

In the past three years, Ding Xiaoyi has lived a very down-to-earth life, taking the children to play outside during the day, and at night he will have a new house with firewood, accompany the children to see the Yellow Spring, and taste the old food.

It's like living an ordinary life, quiet, comfortable, and even a little bit of a waste of time.

But Ding Xiaoyi enjoyed it very much, at least watching Ding Peng, a little guy, grow up from infancy, that sense of accomplishment is naturally irreplaceable pride.

"Xiao Yi!"

There was a loud roar outside the door, and I saw Liao Qiu wearing a black robe, standing outside and shouting.

After he took the door post, Liao Qiu hurriedly ran into the house, took off his robe and shouted: "Quick, give me a bowl of warm soup, this ghost weather, the ghosts are about to freeze into ice lumps." ”

As he spoke, he sat down by the fire, rubbed his hands and feet, and shook his head, and saw that a few ice slags had really come out of his hair.

Ever since the bad old man reopened the back door in the depths of Yellow Springs.

It has always been an eternal ghost, but there has been a change in the climate, but it is not as warm as in the present world.

Instead, there are four seasons: drought, rain, wind, and winter.

The four stages are repeated repeatedly, and now that the wind season has just passed, it is about to enter the winter, and even a thick layer of ice slag has grown on the edge of the yellow spring.

Liao Qiu has lost a lot of weight during this time, but the whole person seems to be more energetic.

Wearing a robe, but there is a sword hanging from his waist, and even his eyebrows are a little more majestic.

After receiving the hot soup handed by Chen Lao, Liao Qiu took a sip of the soup, which was made from beef stick bones.

Fat and sweet, with a little salt and pepper, the flavor is even richer, and then sprinkled with a layer of green onion and coriander. In this season that can freeze all the ghosts, a bowl of hot soup is in the stomach, not to mention how comfortable it is.

Liao Qiu said while drinking: "Recently, I have been very busy with official business, and I have to customize a new kiss boat, manage the company, and be responsible for tax collection, I am almost dizzy." ”

Ding Xiaoyi couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "But I think you are quite enjoyable as an official." “

"Yes, that's true, after all...... Spent money!"

Speaking of this, Liao Qiu felt a pain in his flesh, the bad debts of thousands of years made him change from the god of wealth to the god of poverty, if it weren't for the hundreds of millions of deposits behind him, he was really ten generations of insoles unknown to anyone, once back to before liberation.

"Hey, where's little Ding Peng?"

At this time, Liao Qiu suddenly noticed that Ding Peng, the stinky boy who should have pounced on him and pulled his hair a long time ago, was gone, and couldn't help asking.

Speaking of this, Ding Xiaoyi took a deep breath: "It's sent to kindergarten, I hope this kid can stop meeting at Beimang Academy!"

However, he didn't know that at this moment, Beimang Academy was almost jumping because of Ding Peng's arrival.
