Chapter 41: Threats

Hearing him suddenly mention Jiang Xixi, Cheng Muyou "chuckled" in his heart, as if a piece had collapsed. He stared at Cui Jue's eyes in disbelief, and said word by word, "Jiang Xixi was killed by barnacles, could it be that Your Excellency was also involved in this matter?" ”

Cui Jue's face let out a "cluck", and the two rows of teeth opened slightly, revealing the green fireflies inside.

After a long time, Cheng Muyou figured out that he was laughing, laughing silently, and it was hideous in the weird.

"Cheng Muyou, you now have a beautiful wife by your side, and your child is around your knees, unlike me back then, who is old and lonely, so naturally you are reluctant to go. I expected this, so I took Jiang Xixi's soul away and locked her up in Guangtai Temple. If you leave with me happily, I will let her go now, she still has decades of life, and she can naturally live a full life. But if you want to disobey my orders......" Speaking of this, Cui Jue slowly took out the book of life and death and the judge's pen from the wide sleeved robe, stroked it lightly with his fingers, and then opened it, and stopped at the top end of the yellowed paper with a pen in his hand, "I will cross out all her remaining life, so that she will stay in Guangtai Temple forever, separated from you by yin and yang, and never see each other again." ”

Cheng Muyou stared at the vermilion pen between his fingers, his eyes suddenly ignited with rage, he looked at Cui Jue fearlessly, and said fiercely, "The dignified magistrate of the prefecture actually violated the law, used human life as a bargaining chip, and threatened others at will, Cui Fujun, I used to think highly of you." ”

Cui Jue spread his hands and snorted softly, "If you want to ask for this account, after you become a judge, you can naturally go to the heavenly court to sue me, I have nothing to say, just accept it." It's just that now, the underworld has no king for a day, and the ghosts have no leader for a day, I can't afford the consequences, and you people can't afford it. Cheng Muyou, your wife is not an ordinary person, I think you and her have experienced countless strange things, and you should know better than others what kind of chaos will be caused by the opening of the ghost door and the travel of a hundred ghosts. I have no regrets about doing this for personal gain in order to avoid the misery of my life, even if I am severely punished by the Heavenly Monarch, I will not regret it. ”

Speaking of this, his voice suddenly softened a little, and the fireflies in his eyes dimmed, "Do you know that I have been going around the world for more than a hundred years in order to find a suitable candidate. However, from the fall of the Tang Dynasty to the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, during this long period of division, there was never a stern and upright person. ”

He sighed, "No wonder these dynasties change frequently, they are weak and short-lived, and they are all like this, how can they unite the people?" ”

"Fortunately, you appeared, and I have heard of you for a long time, so I made a special trip to Xin'an to see if you are really as the people rumored, and you are fair and strong in judging the case. It's also a coincidence that a strange case happened in Yushan Village, so I can use this case to examine you and see if you are really a suitable candidate. ”

He shook his head and smiled with satisfaction, "Cheng Muyou, you didn't disappoint me, such a twists and turns in a case can actually make you find the suspicious points in it, and find the murderer, which really makes me admire." ”

"But you also have your weaknesses, that is, you are too affectionate, family affection, the relationship between men and women, I'm afraid it's hard for you to let go of any of them. Therefore, robbing Jiang Xixi's soul is just my helpless move, although she was stabbed in the back of the heart by the barnacle, but she still has a breath left, and she is not dead. But don't worry, after the fact, I will naturally let her go back. As for Xun'er, you can also be relieved, he is the reincarnation of the star, and his future is limitless. ”

Speaking of this, he glanced at Cheng Muyou again, the fireflies in his eyes flickered a few times, as if he was a little hesitant, "However, your newly married lady is difficult to say, Cheng Muyou, I will take you away this time, maybe to solve the disaster for you." ”

This was said in an obscure manner, but Mu You just glanced at him lightly and said softly, "How do you say this?" ”

Cui Jue laughed twice, "The hero is sad to pass the beauty pass, men, you are always tempted by beauty, you are sincere to her, but it is beyond reproach." Only, do you know who she is? Why do you want to marry you? Have you ever thought that if you keep her by your side, your life will be in danger? ”

Cheng Muyou still looked at him expressionlessly, and said casually, "The beauty is on the side, nephrite is in the arms, it is already the bliss of the world, why bother to get to the bottom of it, sometimes knowing half of it and tasting it is the way to do things." ”

Cui Jue laughed a few times, "You can see it, so if you are willing to deceive yourself, why should I meddle with things, Cheng Muyou, you can think clearly now, are you willing to go back to the underworld with me?" ”

Cheng Muyou didn't answer, although he already had the answer in his heart, but he still didn't want to say it so quickly.

Because once he said it, Cui Jue would take him away without hesitation, and at that time, he would no longer be able to touch and feel everything in this world. Although the world is not beautiful, he has his own nostalgia, difficult to give up, and people who want to cherish forever. He even wanted to ask Cui Jue if he still remembered those things in his life and whether he had memories that were difficult to let go. These memories may accompany him in the gloomy underworld, turning into the last bit of warmth in his heart.

"I'll go with you."

I don't know how long it took, Cheng Muyou finally said these four words, his voice was very soft, but it lit up the fluorescence in Cui Jue's eyes, and the green light came out of his eyes, flickering and fluttering, exposing his joy without reservation.

"I want to go back to my home, I am in a hurry, my family is worried, and I want to say goodbye to them in person." He put forward his own conditions.

"This matter should be sooner rather than later, when you get to the underworld, write a letter to them and inform them, there are so many ghosts below, I think, they will rush to serve the new king." Besides, Jiang Xixi's body can't wait too long, and after a few hours, if the soul doesn't return to the body, I'm afraid even I won't be able to save her. ”

Cui Jue's reason made him unable to refuse, he had to nod slightly, but his ten fingers were clenched into two fists behind his back, and he slowly said a sentence, "Okay, I'll go back with Fujun now." ”(https:)
