Chapter 16 The Truth of the Year
"Have you found out?" The huge palace was dimly lit, and the man's originally radiant face was even more eerie and elusive.
"This is true. When His Royal Highness King Qin Guang came down that day, he passed by the Nai He Bridge, and although he didn't see the cause and effect, the streamer on his body captured some fragments. ”
"Streamer?"
"Your Highness, have you forgotten? Four hundred years ago, you married the second concubine of the Earth Immortal Prison Painting, and on the day of the wedding, you invited the Ten Palaces of Yama to be a guest. King Qin Guang specially borrowed a streamer from Lao Jun for you, ready to record the scene of your wedding. ”
"Uh, there's such a thing?" The man's face showed surprise and embarrassment, and the original mysterious color suddenly disappeared with the wind, leaving only Bai Wuchang Xie Bi'an, who was standing at the head of the report, messy in the wind.
"Your Highness the Wheel King, don't you remember?"
"Ahem...... I remember that this king has never married a wife, so he tried it once, and forced people away, how can he not remember? It's just that it's been a little bit old, and I forgot about it for a while. However, why didn't this king remember that Lao Qin brought Streamer Jian? He didn't tell me! ”
Xie Bi'an wiped the non-existent sweat from the corners of his forehead, and continued to report: "That's the case, King Qin Guang opened the streamer from the beginning of the trial, and he forgot about it, but when he arrived at the wedding scene, the immortal qi in Lao Jun's existence was exhausted, and he couldn't open it by himself, so he didn't mention it to you." ”
"This old Qin, he will drop the chain at a critical time."
"Your Royal Highness, it is precisely because King Qin Guang did not turn off the streamer that he was able to record the scene on the bridge at that time, and his subordinates were able to find out the real reason why the second concubine left that year." Xie Bi'an didn't want to follow Xue Yan's words to arrange King Qin Guang, so he wittily diverted the topic.
"The truth?" Xue Yan's interest grew. "Tell me about it."
"On the way to pick up relatives, the second concubine suddenly jumped off the Naihe Bridge and entered the Lechuan River to lead directly to the mortal reincarnation, not out of her own will, but because of an accident, the escort did not dare to report it truthfully, so she could only pull out this reason to escape punishment."
Xue Yan's eyes suddenly lit up. He has never married a wife. The main reason is that the female ghosts and earth immortals in the underworld are either too resentful, or they are obsessed with how to fry the soul all day long, how to torture the ghost to the extreme without the soul scattering, and the women in the mortal world are too timid, fairies, and there are also okay ones, but they all want to persuade him to live in the heavenly court, which is really nonsense. No matter how good the gold nest and silver nest are, they are not as good as their own kennels, and they don't want to send them to the door, and they still want him to be rich? It's just delusional. Therefore, he has never taken a fancy to anyone, but he has a good impression of the female land fairy who manages the real estate work of the prefecture. Every time the ten halls of Hades gathered, he would be urged to marry, and as soon as he came and went, he thought about whether to accept this female land immortal. As a result, the other party was probably afraid of his identity as the king of the Ten Palaces and did not refuse, but he jumped off when the team passed by the Nai He Bridge, which was really disappointing to him. He couldn't remember the name and appearance of the prison painting 400 years ago, but he remembered the feeling of annoyance at that time, strange and intense.
Yes, the golden bachelor finally got married, but the bride ran away on the wedding day, and he would rather be a mortal than marry him, which is really a great shame. Since then, he has never had the idea of marrying, and no one has urged him to marry again. Four hundred years have passed, but he did not expect the name "prison painting" to appear again, which aroused the stubborn residual unwillingness in his heart.
Immediately, a raging fire ignited in his shining eyes, and he immediately drank: "These people are so bold! dared to harm the king's second concubine, and concealed it and didn't report it! When I'm the king of rotation, I'm blind! ”
The king of Hades was furious, and the underworld was shocked. Needless to say, some low-quality tofu slag projects collapsed directly, and some ghosts suddenly lost their homes and frowned. At this time, Xie Bi'an was the closest and was the most affected, but fortunately, he had already experienced a hundred battles for many years, and while resisting this overwhelming coercion, he couldn't help shouting in his heart: You don't know the truth for four hundred years, you are old and blind! Forget it if you're blind, it's still horizontal! If you want to expand your business with your unmarried wife, you can't forcibly demolish it? I don't know if my poor little dilapidated house is still alive, and I don't have that much money to buy a house......
"Your Highness, don't be impatient!" Xie Bi'an braved coercion to speak comfortably. "The scene recorded by the streamer at that time, I have asked King Qin Guang to come over, do you want to see it now?"
"Look!" Xue Yan waved his hand, and the coercion that filled the ten halls of the underworld completely disappeared. Xie Bi'an breathed a sigh of relief, sealed his hands, and presented the scene recorded by the streamer on the Nai He Bridge that day.
Four hundred years ago, it was the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. When the royal family and nobles marry concubines, although they are not in the main room, they also have to carry a red sedan chair. However, Xue Yan is the king of the underworld, so naturally he doesn't need to use red, but he uses a pure white soft sedan chair, which is carried by eight little ghosts. According to the rules of the time, it was not good to marry directly to be a princess, so he could only be a concubine, which was the second concubine. But despite this, because he managed the land to make a living, he was a little rich woman in the prefecture, and she brought a lot of dowries with her.
In the picture, eight sedan chair drivers are stepping on the Nai He Bridge with a soft sedan chair, followed by three thin ghosts, pulling a large cart of objects, pulling and complaining. Listening to the content of the three ghosts' complaints, it turned out that the team to pick up the relatives was not enough, but I didn't expect the prison painting to bring so much dowry, so I got a big cart and put all the things on it, which was pulled by the three ghosts, but they were tired enough.
But how narrow is the bridge, how can it accommodate such a big car to pass by? The three ghosts only pulled the cart to the middle of the bridge and lost their hands, dropping a cart of things, and there was not much left.
This scared the ghost of the leader. The leader of the team was worried that he would be responsible for the dowry of the cart, so he exchanged words with the three ghosts, so he secretly broke the eight ghosts who were unknowingly carrying the prison painting and pushed them off the bridge together with the bride's sedan chair, and fell directly into the Lethe River and entered the mortal reincarnation.
After Xie Bi'an's reminder, Xue Yan almost remembered it. The leader of the team went back and lied about the situation, saying that the bride jumped into the river, and the eight palanquin drivers accidentally fell into the river in order to chase them one by one, and they were nowhere to be found. Because the ghost who fell from the Lechuan River did not enter reincarnation through the normal procedure, so his whereabouts were uncertain and difficult to track, so Xue Yan punished the leader to go to the mortal world to find people, and ordered him not to go back if he was not found.
Xue Yan was speechless for a while. He didn't expect that it was because he was too careless and didn't have enough manpower to cause the prison painting to fall into the Lethe River, and he suddenly felt extremely guilty. Xie Bi'an knew the truth one step earlier, and secretly admired Xue Yan's wonderful expression, and his heart was secretly refreshed. As a result, as soon as Xue Yan raised his head, he saw Xie Bi'an's gloating expression.
"Are you happy?" Xue Yan asked.
"Hmmm! Well? No, Your Highness, I don't! Xie Bi'an hurriedly denied it, but the appearance of three hundred taels of silver here betrayed him.
Xue Yan didn't bother to argue with him, but he was a little surprised by King Qin Guang's efficiency: "This matter is so important, why didn't Lao Qin find out until now?" ”
"Your Palace, Your Highness, King Qin Guang heard that the second concubine of the prison painting was selling a villa, and he was planning to buy one too, so he sorted out his things at home, and he found the streamer that he borrowed and didn't pay back, and then he found the truth......
"......" Xue Yan suddenly became less angry. Streamer Jian, a rare treasure back then, was actually detained by King Qin Guang for four hundred years, Lao Jun is probably going to vomit blood, right?
"Come on, it's all monogamous now, what time is it not a concubine, if you hear it for her, won't it look good?"
"The subordinates understand. However, the subordinates believed that the princess and His Royal Highness would be overjoyed to reunite after a long absence, and they would not care about these details. ”
Xue Yan gave him a blank look. This guy has a very good hand at slapping horses! The word "ecstatic" is used! Well, it's to taste.
"The princess has been missing for many years, where is the leader of the initiator now? Have you found any traces of the princess? At the mention of the foreman, Xue Yan immediately gritted his teeth. It was too light to punish him to go to the world to find the princess, lose the dowry, persecute the princess, and ruin his marriage, these many crimes should be sent to the king of Mount Tai to go to the oil pot to relieve his hatred.
Seeing this, Xie Bi'an didn't know what Xue Yan was thinking, and replied, "Your Highness, the team leader is lurking beside the princess." Do you want to meet? ”
Xue Yan thought for a moment, and the corners of his mouth hooked up an evil smile: "No." The princess has been found, so there is no need to rush to meet him. Let's come to Japan for a long time......"
Xie Bi'an replied yes in his mouth, but he knew in his heart that this ghost king must have hated this team leader, so he couldn't help but silently light a row of wax for this person.
