[878] Released from prison

The breeze is blowing, and the shadows of the trees are shaking. The roar of the beast soul in the horse farm came and went.

Ying Zhao sent someone to bring the tables and chairs, and after serving tea, snacks and fruits, he retreated left and right.

Xiao Shizhu invited Jiang Ziwen and Ying Zhao Ji Kang, and after they all sat down, he sent the black monkeys who followed him to play by himself.

The black monkey immediately jumped up, immediately two feet above the ground, and then excitedly climbed towards the top of the towering tree.

"The new guard of the lord is like a monkey, not like a human soul. Ji Kang raised his eyes and looked at the fallen leaves flying in the wind overhead, and there was no trace of the black monkey, and after smiling slightly, he said in amazement: "It seems that the skills are more agile than the mountain spirit monkey." ”。

"Yes, this little ghost is good, except that he can't speak anymore, but he can also understand nonsense. Xiao Shizhu nodded, put away his smile, turned his eyes to Jiang Ziwen with a solemn face, and asked after returning to the truth: "Is this Wei Zheng the Wei Zheng of the Tang Dynasty in the world?

Exactly, according to the records of the human affairs and the book of life and death that the black and white impermanence later reported, it is said that Hou Junji and Du Zhenglun rebelled back then, and Du Zhenglun was recommended by Wei Zheng, Li Shiming thought that Wei Zheng and Du Zhenglun were in a group, and Wei Zheng might also participate in the rebellion, so he was very angry, but Wei Zheng was dead, and Li Shiming could only knock down Wei Zheng's tombstone to vent his inner anger. Jiang Ziwen, who nodded, looked at Xiao Shizhu, who was pouring himself tea, and said slowly: "It turns out that the lord also knows about this?"

When the mountain breeze blew, Xiao Shizhu handed the poured tea to the ghost officials and ghost generals sitting around him: "Well, when I was in the world, I dabbled in a lot of anecdotes and books on the official history, and I knew some old things in the past. But I heard that later, Li Shiming ordered someone to build Wei Zheng's tombstone, so it can be regarded as knowing that he can change his mistakes. Is Li Shiming still in the Netherworld?"

After that, Xiao Shizhu lifted the teacup and took a sip of tea.

"The lord asked knowingly, this kind of emperor rarely stays in the underworld. When he arrived in the underworld, the minister who was still an official in the Beiyin Dynasty that day directly sent him to be reincarnated as a pig and dog according to the rules. Jiang Ziwen took the teacup in his hand, and said leisurely: "To this day, I don't know how many lives I have been reincarnated. What's more, since the Warring States Period, there have been few cultured souls left in the underworld. Those who have read a book will be reincarnated. The minister still remembers that at the beginning, the minister personally sentenced that the lord would also be reincarnated in a hundred years, isn't it? Just because of the reality in the book of life and death, you have gone to school, and it is not that you are illiterate. In this way, the minister didn't dare to let the lord live a better life in the underworld, so he directly assigned you to go to the ghost mother country to be a dog warden. ”。

After that, Jiang Ziwen, who laughed a few times, looked a little embarrassed.

"Alas. But Xiao Shizhu, who didn't care about himself, but showed pity on his face, sighed: "Most of these emperors are powerful figures in the world, even if they are immoral and incompetent, they can shout at the people of the world when they sit on the throne, and they are even more majestic when they rule the world." When he arrived in this netherworld, the identity of the true dragon emperor was not as good as a piece of straw paper to wipe his buttocks, and he was not easily sent away by the old ghost of Xudu. ”。

"Getting back to the point, what did this Wei Zheng do in the Beiyin Dynasty?" Xiao Shizhu put down the teacup and picked up a fruit: "What does Lu Zhidao do?"

"Let's talk about Lu Dao first. When Xiao Shizhu nibbled on the fruit, Jiang Ziwen, who took a sip of tea and moistened his throat, continued to preach to him: "This Lu Zhidao is called Lu Judge, and he is a native of the Song Dynasty in the world. At that time, the underworld was in urgent need of talents, and the old ghost of Xudu kept him. and put him in charge of the Chacha Division of the Northern Yin Dynasty. It also made the black and white impermanence and the ghost messengers leave the image of this ghost in the world to beautify the underworld. But he is also an upright ghost, since he was in charge of the inspection department, if it wasn't for the old ghost of the drunken capital who deliberately needed him to cheat for personal gain, I haven't heard of him doing anything that ignores his conscience. The point is that this ghost is smart, and sometimes he does things in a different way, and he can always achieve unexpected results. is also good at coercing confessions and inducing confessions, and choosing him to be a ghost envoy is the best choice for the old ghost of Xudu now, the Northern Yin Emperor. He is good at inducing and coercing confessions, and he is the best at finding loopholes in our negotiations and then negotiating with us. ”。

Xiao Shizhu continued to nibble on the fruit and listened quietly.

"This Wei Zheng, it's a bit complicated. Jiang Ziwen frowned when he said this.

"This Wei Zheng won't be locked up in hell all the time, right?" Ying Zhao's pupils shrank and he looked at Jiang Ziwen.

Since the end of the Age of the Old Gods, most of these servants have either been assassinated or exiled, or have defected to other new masters. The slightly better ones are also under house arrest. If it weren't for the black and white impermanence token, they would have gone out of the city to catch up with Xiao Shizhu, and now Yingzhao is still living a salty and unpleasant life.

Therefore, Ying Zhao knows a little about the ghost officials and ghost officials of the Northern Yin Dynasty in the capital of Xudu.

"Closed, isn't it a judge?" Jiang Ziwen hadn't answered, Xiao Shizhu had already turned his head to look at Ying Zhao, frowned and said suspiciously: "How can he still do his ministry when he is closed?"

"In the first few years, I could still see this ghost in the yamen of Xudu, but then he was locked up. I heard that he was the one who contradicted the old ghost of Xudu. Ying Zhao smiled, spread his hands and said, "As for how to do the ministry, I don't know." ”。

The breeze blew again, and the branches and leaves of the surrounding trees swayed and swayed.

Xiao Shizhu still didn't understand, but his curiosity was even stronger. Lu Zhidao and Wei Zheng are the two souls, and now Xiao Shizhu is more curious about Wei Zheng.

"What else is going on? This Wei Zheng has not had an office ministry for a long time. Jiang Ziwen took over and continued to say to Xiao Shizhu: "He did contradict the old ghost of Xudu, and more than once, it seems that the confrontation can make him appear to be a maverick, and he is therefore happy to do it; Wei Zheng never seems to know that the master of officialdom can not contradict the ruler, but also lead the ruler's nose to do things well." Therefore, the old ghost of the drunken capital was extremely dissatisfied and angry. But the great thing about the old ghost is that sometimes he knows that he needs some different voices. So anger turned to anger, but he did not kill him or send him to reincarnation. In this way, he was locked up in hell at the foot of Luo Yu Mountain. ”。

"Life is good, not hard labor, not torture. In addition to the fact that the place where you live is not as good as the accident, even the food is good. There is even a newspaper sent to him every day, so that he can keep abreast of current affairs. After a pause, Jiang Ziwen said again: "Sometimes the old ghost of Xudu will go to hell to talk to him, but there are also some ways to implement the new deal." ”。

When Xiao Shizhu heard this, he sneered, and kept in mind Jiang Ziwen's unintentional remark that the master of officialdom can not contradict the ruler, but also lead the ruler's nose to do things well.

He learned another trick in this way.

But sneering, it's not that I'm dissatisfied with this. The sneer with disdain, but mocking the Di Bao of the Northern Yin Dynasty.

He has also been in the capital of Xu, and he has read this kind of newspaper, and he has reported good news but not bad news. What can you see in such a newspaper?

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Ziwen's admiration flashed in his eyes, and he said again: "It's strange to say, this Wei Zheng is really capable, and he can always see the bad problems from those newspapers in the Beiyin Dynasty that report good news but not bad news." Because of this, Xudu has always kept his ghost life. ”。

Hearing this, Xiao Shizhu suddenly couldn't laugh. His brow furrowed again......

In the belly of Luo Yu Mountain, there is a hell.

In the depths of hell, far away from the places of punishment, one after another, a heart-rending place, there is a unique cell.

The cell was spotlessly cleaned, there was no filth or blood, and the cell was brightly lit and not dim. The prison is even more unique, with shelves full of books piled high next to the walls. There is also a gorgeous bed in the depths, and a well-carved bookcase.

The prisoner in it, the plain-looking but smiling soul of the prisoner, not only did not have any traces of sewing and repair, but was new and clean.

Even the black iron shackles on the prisoners' hands and feet were shiny and reflected in the lamplight.

Although he wore prison clothes with iron shackles, the treatment of this soul prisoner really didn't look like he was in prison.

The floor was covered with a carpet made of fire unicorn tail hair, and the warmth was everywhere, dispelling the cold and humidity in this cell. The blue and white porcelain round box on the bookcase is full of all kinds of preserved fruits and pastries in the underworld.

As for the souls of the people who live here, it is naturally Wei Zheng who was mentioned to Xiao Shizhu by Jiang Ziwen, who was far away on Shuoyue Island.

If he hadn't been in prison clothes and shackles, it wouldn't have looked like he was in prison.

At this time, Wei Zheng was sitting behind the prison case, flipping through the newspaper in his hand. These newspapers are all the newspapers of the last ten days and half a month, and they are nothing more than the good news that the army of the Beiyin Dynasty pursued the victory and quelled the rebellions in various places.

Between the words, he didn't forget to praise the mighty and wise of the Emperor Xudu, so that Wei Zheng knew that it was fake at a glance. Seeing that he was bored, he threw all the newspapers into the octagonal foot stove next to the bookcase.

In the charcoal of the paper, the flame rises, and the white paper turns into black wisdom, and a few sparks rise in it.

"Jailer, old king. Wei Zheng stood up, and the chains on his body trembled and clanged.

The jailer outside the cell door turned around when he heard this, and on his pale face, two wrinkled eyes at the corners of his eyes looked at Wei Zheng in the cell: "Lord Wei, what do you command?"

Wei Zheng walked over slowly, holding the iron chains between his hands, and asked the jailer guarding the prison door through the prison door, "Is there any news of the Nine Shadows Kingdom?"

In the gust of gloomy wind, the jailer pondered for a moment and shook his head silently.

In prison, Wei Zheng sighed lightly and said to himself: "I'm afraid that the battle situation on Shuoyue Island is unfavorable." ”。

The prison guards outside the prison didn't understand this, they were at a loss, and they didn't know what to say.

"Brother Xuan Cheng guessed correctly. (Xuan Cheng, Wei Zheng's character) "At the same time, a pair of eyes like electricity, a green face and a red beard, and a particularly vicious human soul strode over with a yellow silk in his hand, it was Lu Daozhi.

The echo is bursting, and it doesn't go away for a long time.

Lu Juan quickly walked to the door, unfolded the silk book in his hand to Wei Zheng on the other side, and said loudly: "Brother Xuancheng, you are out of prison." ”。

Through the prison door, Wei Zheng looked at the prison and saw that the content of the silk book was an edict written by Emperor Xudu, and the content was the same as what Lu Juan said, that is, Wei Zheng should be released from prison, and then go to the Nine Shadows Kingdom with Lu Juan to start peace talks.

After watching it a few more times, Wei Zheng in prison was full of surprise.

Wei Zheng couldn't understand why he suddenly made peace? The dignified Northern Yin Dynasty actually wanted to make peace with a small ghost country, which was a great shame.

Before Wei Zheng could react, Lu Zhidao on the opposite side asked the jailer to open the prison door as ordered, rolled up the silk book, put it in his sleeve, and then took out the copied conditions proposed by the Nine Shadows Kingdom from it and handed it to Wei Zheng who walked out of the prison door.
