[437] Street talk
Gong Mingyi originally just wanted to firmly grasp the technology of the fire dragon gun in the hands of the Northern Yin Dynasty, so he wrote, directed, and acted in the good scene of Hai Laoweng being assassinated, but he didn't expect that not only was he not suspected, but he was also promoted because of a blessing in disguise.
For Gong Mingyi, this was really an unexpected surprise.
"Master Gong, let's have a good rest first, I'll take my leave first. Zong Tian took out something from his sleeve, put it next to his pillow, and then got up to say goodbye.
Gong Mingyi said, "Master Zongtian, let's go." After that, he turned his head to look at the thing that Zong Tian had placed next to his pillow, which was a palm-sized square turtle gold seal.
It was Gong Mingyi's prison seal, and Gong Mingyi's eyes couldn't help but flash with excitement.
After a long time, he unfolded the silk book again and took a closer look, and then Gong Mingyi, who put down the silk book, returned to his former calmness. With this official position, the first thing Gong Mingyi wanted to do was to get rid of Ji Kang.
No! After thinking about it, Gong Mingyi felt that it would be easy to take away a person's soul, but it would attract Ji Kang's hatred for him. Either don't do it or do it, this is the way Gong Mingyi has learned to survive over the years.
So just a moment later, Gong Mingyi decided to set up another game, and this time his target was Ji Kang......
The ghost town in the late autumn is full of yin qi, lifeless and lifeless. The trees and flags, whose leaves are gradually thinning, shiver with the autumn wind. A thin green mist filled with yin qi shuttled among the evil grasses in the city, and crows stood among the dead trees, screaming from time to time.
However, for the ghosts who have lived in the underworld for three or five years, such weather makes them feel more comfortable, and the rich yin qi makes them feel refreshed. As for the mournful cry of the crow and the bleakness of the autumn wind, they are also accustomed to it.
In particular, the blood-red faint cloudy light was very bright in their eyes. Many ghosts lit incense in front of their homes, put up small stools, and then gathered together in groups of three or five, basking in the sun in the autumn breeze, drinking tea and drinking melon seeds.
But what they talk about the most is the recent underworld pattern. The rebellion of the princes and Hades in various places is getting stronger and stronger, and the voices against the Northern Yin Dynasty are getting higher and higher, which makes the ghost people in the capital also feel uneasy.
Especially after the Nine Shadows Kingdom defeated the Xudu Army twice, as well as annihilated Du Ziren, occupied the Daoshan Hell and released the innocent souls on the island, this uneasiness was even heavier.
The emotions of the ghost people were also well exploited by Xiao Shizhu, who took advantage of the weakness of Emperor Xudu who would never dare to make his ugly affairs public, and successfully described the Northern Yin Dynasty as a bully court, and described his victory to a large extent as the result of the victory of evil over good.
Under the careful planning of Xiao Shizhu and his merchants who co-opted the black market merchants of the underworld, the Northern Yin Dynasty, which already liked to suppress human souls and took pleasure in suppressing them, became the private enemies of the ghost people.
Even the fact that Emperor Xudu launched the Yuque Earth Movement was also used by Xiao Shizhu in propaganda. He skillfully moved flowers and trees, and threatened everywhere that it was the Emperor Xudu who first launched the Yuque Earth Movement, and exaggerated the situation of the Earth Movement, claiming that the Earth Movement caused the death of more than half of the residents of Yuque City, and the fertile fields outside the city that were not destroyed were also said to be all destroyed by him. At the same time, he also threatened that then the Xudu Army took the opportunity to attack the Nine Shadows Kingdom, and he Xiao Shizhu couldn't bear it anymore and began to fight back angrily.
In addition, the Northern Yin Dynasty suppressed and enslaved human souls, and even tacitly acquiesced that individuals could buy and sell human souls, it was not a day or two. In this way, the souls who are easily affected by their emotions, in the case of underdeveloped communication, although they do not express their disgust with these practices of the Northern Yin Dynasty, but whenever they talk about Xiao Shizhu and the Nine Shadows Kingdom, they will say meaningfully: "It's really a rabbit that bites people when it's in a hurry." words.
In addition, many Xuanjiao followers finally inquired about confidential information, which was also used by Xiao Shizhu in propaganda, such as privately provoking Qixing to rebel, and afterwards Emperor Xudu provided a lot of firearms and grain and grass to the headless ghost country.
The Republic of Mao also had the secret instruction of Emperor Xudu, and he was neutral on the surface, but in fact he was secretly providing grain, grass, clothing and other materials for various countries in Dongyizhou to suppress the rebellion of the Northern Yin Dynasty. At the same time, he also said that the enslavement of human souls in the Mao Republic of China was a secret collusion with the Northern Yin Dynasty. As long as King Mao Min and the long-haired ghosts continue to enslave human souls, the Northern Yin Dynasty will allocate a lot of money to them every year.
Even the detailed number of account books was made public by Xiao Shizhu and Ah San.
Of course, Xiao Shizhu did not forget to announce the holy decree given to him by Emperor Xudu to conquer at will, and after the god of Manujin was captured, he was heartbroken when he learned that Emperor Xudu had slandered him, and he bit his tongue and committed suicide.
Especially in the case of the goddess of the woman, Xiao Shizhu made a lot of efforts to shape this female ghost into a poor woman who was played with by the Emperor of Xudu and finally died of depression in line with the principle that the dead are more useful than the living, and the dead ghosts are more useful than the living ghosts. Immediately, when the god of Masujin won the sympathy of many female ghosts in the underworld, he was very disappointed in the Northern Yin Dynasty and the Emperor Xudu.
Xiao Shizhu, who came from the modern world, knows how to use public opinion to attack a ghost or a group of ghosts, in this regard, the self-righteous Emperor Xudu, who has the magic of destroying the world and destroying the world, and the soul who never absorbs the knowledge of the world is not as good as Xiao Shizhu.
Moreover, Xiao Shizhu has been an orphan since he was a child, and he grew up in an orphanage, and he also had more contact with the three religions and nine streams.
For a while, negative news about Emperor Xudu and the Northern Yin Dynasty sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and it went crazy in the ten continents of the underworld. Emperor Xudu was not only labeled as a demon and a hypocrite, but also as a hypocrite and a negative man. However, in a few months, although most of the souls did not dare to dislike the Beiyin Dynasty on the surface, they had already hated the Beiyin Dynasty and the Emperor Xudu in private.
In their hearts, the long-term fantasy that as long as they do a good job in the underworld, they will have the right to be reincarnated as an adult again, finally came to naught with Xiao Shizhu's unremitting efforts.
Even some human souls who have been neutral for thousands of years and originally only wanted to live a carefree life in the underworld for a few days are secretly anti-against the Northern Yin Dynasty.
It's just that the Northern Yin Dynasty still has millions of male divisions and strong and warlike Yin soldiers, and they don't dare to openly resist.
But the biggest beneficiary is still the Nine Shadows Kingdom, his dispatch of troops to Dongyi Continent has become completely reasonable in the eyes of many ghost people in the underworld, although Xiao Shizhu is also the culprit of the war in a sense, but now, he has successfully become a saint who is working hard for the equality of all ghosts, and he is full of brilliance.
And his Nine Shadows Country has indeed achieved the equality of all ghosts in the soul and demon souls, and has also abolished all the ghost slave markets in the country, and naturally there are no ghosts outside the Beiyin Dynasty who stand up against Xiao Shizhu and the Nine Shadows Kingdom.
While the ghost people of Xudu were basking in the sun and chatting about all kinds of news and rumors in the underworld recently, the Emperor of Xudu who was in the Six Heavens Divine Ghost Palace on the top of Luo Yu Mountain was not so relaxed and comfortable.
Emperor Xudu, who was sitting in the depths of the Heavenly Temple in the Middle Heavenly Hall of the Northern Yin, looked around at the few ministers standing in front of him.
In addition to the Song Emperor and the Wheel King, there are also the King of the Five Senses who frowns and stares, has long manes, wears a square crown and a robe, and holds a rosary in his left hand. and the king of equality, who has white hair and long mane, holds his hands in his sleeves, and holds a jade wat in his arms.
The four Hades were as silent as ever, gradually waiting for the Emperor Xudu to speak first.
The autumn breeze blew through the main hall, and the curtains hanging from the pillars of the main hall in the green smoke swayed.
"It's all there. After being silent for a long time, it was Emperor Xudu who spoke first to break the silence: "There has been a lot of talk in the streets recently, and the ghost people all say that Xiao Shizhu, the king of the Nine Shadows, is the holy soul, and the holy soul that saves many ghost people in the underworld, do you all know it?"
Several Hades were still silent, but none of them nodded. Of course they knew about this kind of thing, but they didn't dare to say that they knew, lest they be executed on the spot by the moody Emperor Xudu.
So they chose to remain silent and looked at each other.
It's like it's the first time I've heard about it.
"I want to ask you Aiqing. Seeing that they had begun to pretend to be stupid again, Emperor Xudu pursed his lips and sneered, and said in a strange manner: "Could it be that Xiao Shizhu's ghost detectives (spies) can infiltrate all the ministries and yin divisions?
"If this is really the case, I am afraid that it may also be Xiao Shizhu's crooked speculation. After a little thought, the Wheel King stepped forward and cautiously returned.
He didn't want to speak, but the Emperor Xudu made his words clear, and he couldn't do it if he didn't say it, so the King of Rotation had to come out and say the last sentence.
"Can you guess so accurately? Even I asked you to secretly contact Qixing and let him overthrow Xingtian, Xiao Shizhu knows everything clearly?" Emperor Xudu narrowed his eyes, and after showing a bit of murderous aura, he snorted coldly, and asked in a deep voice: "Don't tell me, Xiao Shizhu's eyes and ears have grown to this Heavenly Hall in the Northern Yin!"
When he finished speaking, the eyes of Emperor Xudu were filled with suspicion and suspicion, and he swept past the four Hades in front of him.
"Regarding this, the minister thinks that it was a leak from Xingtian. After Emperor Xudu's questioning gaze swept over his face, Emperor Song bowed and said, "As far as the minister knows, after the defeat of Xingtian, he fled to the Nine Shadows Kingdom with 20,000 headless ghosts. And Xiao Shizhu also took in this ghost and appointed him as the head of the infantry battle of the Nine Shadows Army. ”。
"Xingtian himself didn't know about my deal with Qixing, otherwise he would have called on the headless ghosts in the country to stand on his side. When Emperor Xudu heard this, he was even more angry, and after snorting angrily, he continued to retort in a weird manner.
Emperor Song was immediately speechless, not because he was stupid, but because he didn't want to confront Emperor Xudu at all, not to mention that what he said was just an unfounded assumption, and he also lacked confidence, so he chose to continue to be silent at the moment.
Several other Hades also had nothing to say, so they simply chose to remain silent like Emperor Song.
"Forget it, no matter where the secrets leaked out, they have already been leaked. Seeing that they didn't speak, Emperor Xudu sighed, put away the yin and yang weirdness, and asked in a calm tone: "How to deal with those street talks?"
To get tangled up in where the leak is made, it is better to stop these street discussions first.
Several Hades then lowered their heads and pondered, and after a while, King Ping's eyes lit up, and he was the first to speak, and said thoughtfully: "Your Majesty, it is not possible to completely suppress the talk in the streets, only to use other new things to divert the attention of the ghost people. ”。
"According to Chen's observations over the past thousand years, the interest of the human soul is mostly a whim, and there is a limit. After Emperor Xudu motioned for him to continue, the paused King Ping stroked his mane and long hair, and continued: "As long as there is a shocking new news, after it spreads among the ghost people, these anti-court remarks propagated by Xiao Shizhu will be gradually forgotten by the ghost people. ”。
