Chapter Eighty-Seven: No Jokes

The Dragon King of the East China Sea had a calm face, dressed in a gorgeous costume, and sat in the center of the main hall. There is a breathtaking momentum on his body.

He opened his mouth and said to me, "If this king asks you to give up your position as a minor judge of the underworld, and from now on to sever your ties with the underworld, are you willing?" ”

He stared at me as if he were scrutinizing me.

My heart was shocked, the Dragon King of the East China Sea was forcing me to choose one of the two, and the Dragon Palace and the Underworld could only choose one.

At this time, everyone's eyes fell on me, and the third prince looked at me even more through gritted teeth.

Do you have to choose one of the two in the Dragon Palace? I took a deep breath, weighed it in my heart, and then said to the Dragon King, "Back to the Dragon King, Weichen is unwilling. ”

The third prince immediately answered: "If you don't want to, get out of the Dragon Palace quickly, don't stain our eyes here." ”

I ignored the third prince and thought he was a clown.

The Dragon King of the East China Sea listened to my words and fell into deep thought, his eyes burning, not like a kind gaze.

Li Chuntian said at this time: "Third Prince, there is no rule in the Dragon Palace, which stipulates that officials of the prefecture cannot serve in the Dragon Palace, and the prefecture naturally does not have a law that restricts people from the Dragon Palace from serving in the prefecture. ”

The third prince snorted and said, Old thief Li, you don't want to talk nonsense, do you still need regulations? It's an unwritten rule.

Li Chuntian continued: "That is to say, this is not an explicit provision, so Weichen also begged the king to think twice, the ancients said, the king has no jokes......" Li Chuntian is obviously risking death to admonish, judging from the tone of the dragon king, obviously he doesn't want to give me this time.

As soon as Li Chuntian finished speaking, he ushered in the finger of Qianfu. Li Chuntian didn't argue anymore, bowed down to the dragon king here, and waited for the dragon king to speak.

The main hall began to be chaotic, and the courtiers of the Dragon Palace were all recommending the third prince as the next candidate for the Dragon King.

Everyone was arguing, and the dragon king suddenly said okay, and shut up the king.

When everyone heard this, they quickly shut up.

The dragon king said to me: "Zhang Yan, if you refuse to cut off contact with the underworld, this king can promise you, but you also have to promise this king a condition, how about it?" ”

I'll let the dragon king say.

The Dragon King sighed and said: "It stands to reason that as a candidate for the Dragon King, the identity you have must be unique, and you can only be a person from our East China Sea Dragon Palace, but this time the situation is special, you are not willing to give up the status of the underworld, then this king also has to make an exception and choose two people as the successor candidates of the East China Sea Dragon King, one is you, and the other is my third child, can you agree?" ”

The dragon king seemed to be asking for my opinion, but in fact he was forcing me to agree. There really is no better option right now.

As the ancients said, you can't have both fish and bear's paws, so I thought about it for a while and agreed.

However, there are still people who object, saying that I am not qualified to be a candidate for the Dragon King. Ask the Dragon King to disqualify me.

But all these objections were suppressed by the dragon king, who quickly wrote the appointment paper, handed it to the celebrant officer, and made an announcement. Although the third prince was very reluctant, he had no choice but to agree. To some extent, this is a comparative ending for him and for me.

After doing all this, the dragon king said, this king is tired, you all stand down.

The people received the order and retreated.

Li Chuntian and I also walked out, and on the way, Li Chuntian said to me: "Zhang Yan, the old man said that he wanted you a gift, and now it is finished." As for whether you can become a dragon king in the future, it depends on your own creation. ”

I owe it and say thank you to Li Chuntian.

Li Chuntian said that there was nothing to thank. Then he said to me: "Zhang Yan, do you have another case in your hands that has not been handled?" ”

Li Chuntian's words gave me a wake-up call, and I hummed and said yes.

Li Chuntian said: "The old man is a good person to the end, help you close this case together!" ”

Li Chuntian must have been the immortal of the Dragon Palace who was stationed in that village back then, so he was considered a party. If he can help me, maybe the unsolved case left over from the Son of Heaven can be solved.

We walked towards the sea, and after walking for a long time, suddenly a voice called me came from behind me, I turned my head to look, and found that it was Ruan Xiu. Ruan Xiu was wearing a plain dress, looking a little less extravagant and a little more delicate. Just now, Li Chuntian and I were almost blamed by the entire Dragon Palace.

Ruan Xiu didn't stand up and accuse us.

Ruan Xiu said to me, "I'll go with you." ”

I glanced at Ruan Xiu in surprise, Ruan Xiu said, now that Brother Long's case has not been solved, do you have any opinion on this seat following you to find out the truth?

I shook my head and said no.

Li Chuntian didn't say anything, just a smile on his face.

The evening breeze was a little cold, and Ruan Xiu suddenly said to me Li Chuntian: "Lord Li, I want to say a few words alone with Master Zhang." ”

Before Ruan Xiu finished speaking, Li Chuntian understood and said, the old man will go first.

After Li Chuntian left, I asked Ruan Xiu, "Ninth Princess, what do you have to say?" ”

Ruan Xiu pinned the unruly Xiu to the back of his ear and said to me: "Zhang Yan, do you know why this seat didn't stand up against you just now? ”

I had this doubt in my heart, so I asked why?

Ruan Xiu said: "Back then, my second brother was talented and had a strong ability to deal with the government affairs of the Dragon Palace, so he could be said to be the most powerful contender for the next Dragon King of the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea, but my second brother died tragically in the fifth hall of the underworld. ”

Ruan Xiu's tone was calm, but I could still hear the reluctance in her tone.

Ruan Xiu said that my second brother was the best to me at the beginning, and he would let me do anything, take me out to play, and give me delicious food. That's why I've been obsessed with it for so many years, wanting to find out the truth about my second brother's death.

I probably understood Ruan Xiu's words, and I asked Ruan Xiu: "Ninth Princess, do you suspect that your second brother was actually killed by the people of the Dragon Palace?" ”

Ruan Xiu was stunned for a few seconds, and then said, "You have to keep this matter a secret, and don't tell anyone." ”

I hummed and said that I would definitely not tell anyone until the truth was revealed.

Ruan Xiu looked left and right before he spoke, "I suspect that the murderer is my third brother." ”

What Ruan Xiu said is not impossible, with the virtue of the third prince, this kind of thing is not impossible. Ruan Xiu frowned and continued, That's all for the words, the specific things will be said after you find out first.

I said okay.

After arriving at the hotel, Daoist Qiu and Xiao Wanwan Cao Tianshi all fell asleep, and I didn't bother, I went back to the room and simply cleaned up, and fell asleep.

I didn't get up until noon the next day.

Outside, it was a bit overcast, like it was going to rain.

Daoist Qiu got up early, and I saw Daoist Qiu say hello to him, and told Daoist Qiu what happened in the Dragon Palace. Daoist Qiu's expression was unwavering, as if everything was expected. Daoist Qiu said to me: "Zhang Yan, you have become famous in the underworld these days. The Ten Palaces of the Underworld, Yama, are all rumored about your deeds now, and it is estimated that there will be no shortage of the four seas. ”

I asked Daoist Qiu to stop making fun of me, if it wasn't for a fluke this time, maybe he would have died a long time ago.

Daoist Qiu said: "Don't be presumptuous, just when you went to the Dragon Palace, the Son of Heaven came to ask, how is your case investigated?" ”

I said to Daoist Qiu, Daoist, I just want to do this with you. Let's go back now.

Daoist Qiu said that it was okay.

I went to call Cao Tianshi and Xiao Wanwan to eat something together, and then walked towards the village.

It was almost from noon to evening. The dragon lady followed us without saying a word. Li Chuntian hid directly in my paperwork.

Soon after arriving in the village, it began to rain heavily.

We hurried to the old lady's house, but when we got to the old lady's house, we found that there was no one inside, it was empty, I called the old lady, but there was no response.

It's raining outside, and it's still night, so it's unlikely she'll go out.

And his grandson is gone.

Cao Tianshi said, maybe I went to string relatives, I hummed, this is also a possibility. But I always felt a sense of foreboding.

Li Chuntian has no physical body now, and basically can only come out at night.

Li Chuntian said to us that since she was not at home, let's go to the old man's house to rest.

We didn't refuse, and hurried to Li Chuntian's house, but as soon as I arrived at the door, I smelled a strange smell.

When we pushed the door open and entered, our faces changed.
