One day after half a year, suddenly the imperial court sent to the county government to read the holy decree, announcing the edict of Liu County, and immediately entered Beijing to face the king. Liu County Decree was stunned after receiving the decree, how could a small county decree be personally pronounced by Banzai today? He couldn't figure it out.

On the same day, he made arrangements for official business and prepared to leave for Beijing the next day. In the evening, he said to his wife: I am afraid that this time I will enter Beijing with more luck and less luck, and my wife should take care of herself. Mrs. comforted him and said: Since the husband took office, he has been an upright official. Deeply supported by the people. Long live the edict this time, the future is sure to be bright, please don't worry too much, take care of yourself along the way.

Early the next morning, Liu Xianling did not bring his entourage, and rushed to Kyoto alone. Liu Xianling has an older sister who is fifty years old. The parents of the two siblings died early, and it was the elder sister who brought him up for him to study and gain fame. Along the way, Liu Xianling thought to himself, this time in Beijing is auspicious, just such a sister with the same parents, must meet Liu Xianling's sister widowed and single, living alone on the edge of a small mountain village, relying on raising chickens for a living. When the elder sister saw her brother coming, she was very happy and cooked a sumptuous meal for her younger brother. During the meal, Liu Xianling told his sister about the long live edict, and said infinitely melancholy: I'm afraid that my little brother will not be able to take care of my sister in the future. The elder sister said some auspicious words to persuade the younger brother to relax, take care more, and cherish the future. After dinner, my sister packed up everything and said: My brother came from afar, and I was supposed to have a good chat with you, but I am a little tired today and can't accompany you, so I will go to sleep first. Liu County Ling said: Sister don't have to be polite, go to sleep first when you're tired, I have to read a book for a while before sleeping.

In fact, my sister is not tired, because she had an affair with a fox fairy, and she must go to the bedroom on time to accompany the fox fairy every night. My sister went back to the bedroom, and Liu Xianling took a book and sat under the lamp to read. About half an hour later, I heard a strange wind blowing on the roof. Although Liu Xianling is not very old, he can still drive demons and catch monsters, and he knows that this is a demon wind. In order to prevent being harmed by monsters, he sat upright and recited the spell to ward off demons and evil spirits. As soon as the incantation was recited here, the wind on the roof stopped. After a while, a voice came from the room: Liu County Order, a friend is visiting, how can there be a reason to turn away, can you let me come down and talk to you?

Liu County Lingjue's surprise, how do the people in the house know themselves? At this time, he is very calm, life and death are fate, whether he is a human or a demon, what is there to be afraid of when he comes down to talk? And yes, he stopped chanting the mantra and said, "Yes, please." As soon as the words fell, a beautiful white-faced scholar stood in front of him with a smile.

When Liu Xianling saw it, he chuckled in his heart, thinking that it was definitely not a human, it must be some kind of demon and monster. He steadied his heartbeat and politely said, "Please be seated." A cup of tea was also brewed and brought to the visitor. The scholar asked straight to the point: Do you know why the emperor announced that you entered Beijing?

When Liu Xianling heard it, he knew that this person had a background, otherwise how would he know that my trip was to enter Beijing under the edict. So, he bowed and said: I don't know what the emperor is talking about, and I want to ask the great immortal for guidance. The man said: It's the case of Wang Xiaoshan who died half a year ago. At that time, you led the servants to Wang Xiaoshan's house to dismantle the stove, killed a centipede, and ran a centipede, right? Liu Xianling listened to the scholar's words as if he had seen it with his own eyes, and felt more and more that this person was extraordinary, so he said: Wang Xiaoshan is young, his death is unknown, and he has not found strong evidence of death when he kills a centipede, and the case has to be regarded as an unsolved case, and the deceased is not blind, I am ashamed of Wang Xiaoshan's family.

The scholar said to Liu County: You can't collect evidence in this case. Let me tell you, Wang Xiaoshan's death, the centipede is the real murderer. So, he told Liu County Ling the ins and outs of this matter.

Liu Xianling asked his sister for this chicken. My sister said, "If you want to catch the big one, what is the use of it?" If the male or female is not female, one will not sing, and the other will not lay eggs. Liu Xianling said: I don't want anything good, I just want it. The elder sister also relied on him, and asked him to bring some food to feed the chickens, and the two sisters and brothers reluctantly said goodbye, and Liu Xian ordered to rush to the capital on the road.

There was nothing to say all the way, Liu Xian ordered to run slowly, and when he arrived in the capital in the evening, he first found a post house to live in. Early the next morning, Liu County Ling went to the palace to face the king. The emperor saw that Liu County's order had arrived, and he couldn't care about the courtesy of the monarch and ministers, so he couldn't wait to take his heart to treat Xigong Niangniang, and ordered the warriors to immediately disembowel Liu County's order. The samurai held a sharp knife in his right hand and a tray in his left hand, came to Liu Xianling, and reached out to pick up Liu Xianling's clothes. Liu Xianling blocked it with his hand and said: Slow! He faced the emperor and said: Long live, since Xigong Niangniang wants to eat my heart to cure the disease, the minister is willing. Wouldn't it be better to ask Nishinomiya Niangniang to do it herself? ”

At this time, Xigong Niangniang was really behind the bead curtain, she heard Liu Xianling say this, just what she wanted, her teeth creaked, and without waiting for the emperor to speak, she walked quickly to Liu Xianling, snatched the sharp knife in the samurai's hand, and reached out to tear Liu Xianling's clothes. When the chicken king saw the centipede spirit turned into Xigong Niangniang, he jumped out of the placket on Liu Xianling's chest and flew to Xigong Niangniang's shoulder, about to peck her eyes. Xigong Niangniang waved her hand and knocked off the chicken king on her shoulder, and the chicken king left Xigong Niangniang's shoulder, and immediately flew around Xigong Niangniang before and after like a light swallow, and pecked at the vital parts of the mother, as long as it pecked, the clothes on the mother's body were ripped off quickly. Xigong Niangniang used the sharp knife in her hand to cut at the chicken king again and again, the chicken king is light and flexible, how can he cut it? It was so close that Xigong Niangniang circled around in the Jinluan Palace, and the sharp knife in her hand never hurt the chicken king, but the clothes on Xigong Niangniang's body had already been pecked by the chicken king.

At this time, Xigong Niangniang was already tired and sweating profusely, and she couldn't support it, so she rolled out of her original form on the spot and turned into a big centipede with a long flat shoulder. Seeing that Xigong Niangniang appeared in his original form, the chicken king also flapped his wings, and with a long cry, he turned into a big rooster with a golden retriever and red crown as big as a buffalo, and the centipede spirit flew up and down on the Jinluan Palace. At this scene, the frightened Long Live Lord was stunned, and the civil and military ministers all opened their mouths wide and forgot to close them. In less than half an hour, the centipede essence was exhausted, and it rolled on the spot again, turning into thousands of small centipedes as long as chopsticks, and flocks came to bite the chicken king. The king of chickens was not in a hurry, flapping his wings and making a long roar, which scared the thousands of little centipedes in the hall like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and they couldn't move as if they had broken their backbones. At this time, the big rooster flapped its wings and turned into thousands of roosters, and a chicken made a 'clucking' sound at a centipede. Immediately, a chicken pecked a centipede, and thousands of centipedes became a delicacy for roosters.

Just when the ministers in the main hall were frightened and did not dare to close their mouths, suddenly thousands of roosters in the hall disappeared in a blink of an eye, only to see a fist-sized chick, squeaking and walking to Liu Xianling's side, Liu Xianling bent down to catch the chicken, and still put it in the placket of his chest. Long Live Ye was already sober at this time, and hurriedly asked Liu County Ling what was going on. Liu Xianling knelt down in front of the emperor, Wang Xiaoshan was poisoned and died half a year ago, he took people to Wang Xiaoshan's house to dismantle the stove, killed a centipede, and ran a female centipede, the female centipede ran into the palace and ate the West Palace Niangniang, it wanted to borrow the emperor's knife to avenge the revenge of killing her husband to the emperor. Liu County Decree also told the emperor that the bones of the murdered Xigong Niangniang were buried under the rockery in the imperial garden. When the emperor heard this, he immediately sent someone to the rockery in the imperial garden and found the skeleton of Xigong Niangniang.

At this point, the matter is really revealed, Liu Xianling has avenged the unjust death of Xigong Niangniang for the emperor in addition to a harm around him. In order to reward Liu County's order, the emperor was promoted to the third level on the spot!

He said: Wang Xiaoshan went out to do business, and his mother and wife lived a hard life, and they never stir-fried vegetables at home all year round, and they could not smell the aroma of fried vegetables. When Xing's scrambled eggs, the oil was poured into the pot, and the centipede hidden under the root of the stove smelled the aroma of oil. The centipede's saliva was highly poisonous, poisoning Wang Xiaoshan.

The scholar continued: At that time, the people you brought with you wanted to kill all two centipedes, and it would be fine, but you killed a male centipede, and the female centipede ran away. After the female centipede escaped, she jumped to the capital, sneaked into the backyard of the palace, bitten the emperor's beloved Xigong Niangniang to death, and buried the bones under the rockery in the imperial garden. It transformed into the appearance of Xigong Niangniang, and coaxed the emperor into a daze. When it saw that the time was ripe, it pondered that it was time to avenge the murder of her husband. One night, the emperor went to the West Palace to make love with it, and when it was turning the phoenix upside down, it suddenly screamed 'It hurts me to death' and passed out. When the emperor saw this scene, he shouted anxiously, and it took a long time to wake her up, and he was busy passing on the imperial doctor. Xigong Niangniang said: The imperial doctor can't cure my illness. The emperor asked: Who can cure the illness of the concubine? Xigong Niangniang said: Only one person can cure my heartache, and I don't know if I can be gracious if I say it. The emperor said: As long as someone can cure the illness of the concubine, even if you want to eat human brains and hearts, why is it difficult? Xigong Niangniang said: My heartache is to eat people's hearts to eradicate the roots. As long as the emperor can cure Niangniang's illness, in addition to himself, even if he is an important minister of the court, he can still let him dedicate his heart. So Xigong Niangniang wants to eat your heart to avenge the murder of her husband.

After hearing the scholar's words, Liu Xianling hurriedly got up, knelt down and kowtowed, and said: Ask Daxian to save me. The scholar smiled and said: Don't worry, since I told you the ins and outs of the matter, I will naturally teach you how to resolve it. So he said, "Your sister has raised more than 300 chickens, and one of them is the size of a fist, and there are only a few hairs on his body." When you bring the King of Chickens into Beijing, when you go to the palace to face the king, you first hide it in the placket of your chest, and when the emperor asks the samurai to come to take your heart, you say, since the West Palace Niangniang wants to eat the heart of the minister to cure the disease, please ask the lady to do it herself. Xigong Niangniang was behind the bead curtain at that time, and it must come to dig your heart in person. As soon as it rips off your clothes, the King of Chickens will never let it go.

Speaking of this, the scholar stood up and said to Liu Xianling: The secret of heaven must not be leaked, remember, remember. You're on the safe side. After saying that, he disappeared. Early the next morning, Liu Xian ordered to get up to see his sister feed the chickens, and his sister sprinkled the rice on the ground, and more than 300 chickens did not open their mouths to eat, only to see the chicken king nodding vigorously, and pointed to more than 300 times, it flapped its wings and opened its mouth to eat, and the more than 300 chickens spoke. The shopkeeper said with a happy face.

Yu Shilong turned his face and smiled: "It seems that my worries are unnecessary!" The shopkeeper said: "That's natural, our Liu Da is a first-class good official!" Yu Shilong nodded and said, "Thank you, little second brother, are you busy?" The shopkeeper retreated with interest.

After the meal, everyone rode their horses and galloped towards Ying Tianfu. "Lord Yu, are we going to Ying Tianfu?" Lu Shuang caught up with Yu Shilong's white horse and asked. Yu Shilong turned his face and said: "Yes, I was still worried that this Lord Liu still seized our grain and grass, but now I see that I am a villain's heart and a gentleman's belly!" ”
