The wind and rain did not stop.

The wind tightened, and the long whistling became more and more shrill. The rain curtain is even denser, and the raindrops are getting bigger and bigger.

No matter how wide the canopy of the big peach trees on Dushuo Mountain is under the dark clouds, no matter how dense the branches and leaves are, they can't stop too many raindrops.

Bean-sized raindrops continued to fall from the branches and leaves between the canopies, and after landing, they silently moistened the soil and rocks in the mountains.

On the top of the mountain, in the middle of the military yamen next to the thick tree trunk, Tu Gongjing in the main hall gritted his teeth and said those words, the anger in his eyes reappeared, not decreasing but increasing.

These words surprised King Yama and several ghost soldiers of the Nine Shadows Kingdom in the hall, and they were all dumbfounded.

The fox ghosts of the Tu Shan clan and the Qingqiu Fox Country, but the iron buddies wearing a pair of pants, Tu Gongjing is also the elder who has always been very prestigious in the Tu Shan clan after Tu Gongqi was executed, and he should act as the patriarch.

According to common sense, if the other Tushan clan souls rebelled against the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom in order to take revenge, King Yama would still be able to believe it. But Tu Gongjing actually said the same, which made King Yama suspicious when he was surprised.

"Why revenge?" King Yama was silent for a moment, looked at Tu Gongjing with an interested gaze, and asked, "Whether it is you or the Tu Shan clan, the relationship with the Qingqiu fox ghost is not ordinary. ”。

"Hmph, isn't that unusual? Tu Gongjing, who snorted disdainfully, smiled coldly, and replied a little helplessly: "The Qingqiu fox ghost doesn't treat me at all, and the Tu Shan clan is his own person, and our clan is an abandoned son that their fox clan can use at any time and can sacrifice anytime and anywhere." ”。

After a pause, Tu Gongjing told King Yama about the purpose of coming here and the causes and consequences one by one.

From how the souls of the Tushan clan were secretly ordered by the prince of the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom, Hu Qingping, to how they brought the plague to the garrison of the Nine Shadows Country as planned, they were all clear and detailed.

The king of Yama was furious when he heard this, and if Tu Gongjing had not deceived him, then the king of Yama could have been angry.

The Qingqiu Fox Kingdom clearly did not dare to start a war, and first secretly undermined the tactics and strategies of the Nine Shadows Kingdom, as if it had been passed on by Xiao Shizhu himself, and the anger in the chest of the King of Yama was like the turbulent waves on the Qinglong Sea under the mountain, surging non-stop.

Even if Tu Gongjing took the initiative to surrender and confessed everything to King Yama without hesitation, King Yama was still angry.

His dark face was full of anger, and his eyes flashed with unquenchable anger, and he gritted his teeth with a rattle.

But Tu Gongjing not only did not stop talking, but also insisted on talking endlessly, until he explained all the circumstances clearly, and then stopped.

Regarding Tu Gongjing's tragic extermination after being used by the Qingqiu fox ghost, King Yama still had no sympathy under his anger, and secretly gloated in his heart: "You deserve it." ”。

"You unreservedly told us the unsavory secrets of the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom, what do you want besides revenge?" Then, King Yama asked coldly when Tu Gongjing was silent and showed a little shame on his face.

When Tu Gongjing heard this, after thinking about it seriously, he shook his head a little dazedly, and said, "Maybe you still want your country to be kind and let my clan go." Although the plague that broke out in your country was caused by my own hands, I have summoned up the courage to come here and tell you the cause and effect, and I will not ask too much, but if your country is about to annex the Qingqiu Fox Kingdom one day, I will not carry out a large-scale massacre of my patriarch. ”。

It seems that revenge in the Nine Shadows Country has been spread to the whole world, which also makes Tu Gongjing worried.

"If there really is such a day, the day your army breaks the city, when Qingqiu Mountain is captured, Tu Gongjing is willing to die to apologize to your country. When Tu Gongjing said this, he finally raised his eyes bravely and looked directly at King Yama. His face was also covered with a determined look: "I beg the handsome to spare the innocent ghost for the sake of my cheap life." ”。

Tu Gongjing should have made such a plan before he came, and he also knew that if the Nine Shadows Army entered the Qingqiu Fox Country, and the Nine Shadows Kingdom learned the truth about this plague, it would definitely not let go of the Tu Shan Clan.

Therefore, Tu Gongjing had only this way to help Tu Shan's family.

With the life of a ghost, exchange the peace of the whole clan.

In the face of the wrath of the king of Yama, this frail old man, regardless of his dignity and everything, straightened his waist and stood up, bent his knees at the king of Yama, knelt down, bowed his head deeply, and kowtowed, "As for the plague, I am really sorry. It's all because we naively think that as long as we help the Qingqiu fox ghost, the relationship between the two clans can be reconciled as before. I didn't expect it to end like this, and I didn't think it through. Therefore, I am willing to bear all the consequences, and provide your country with information and information on the source of the disease, so that you can better control and treat the plague. ”。

After that, he didn't get up from the cold and hard floor for a long time, and still kept kneeling and kowtowing.

"I'll find out all of that. But during this time, you must move under the actions of our soldiers, and you cannot leave Dushuo Mountain. King Yama, whose anger had finally subsided a little, thought about it and said to Tu Gongjing, who was still kneeling, "Get up, Tu Gongjing." ”。

Then, King Yama looked at the two ghost soldiers who were watching Tu Gongjing and said, "Take him to rest and heal." ”。

"No. The two ghost soldiers responded, picked up Tu Gongjing, who still had guilt on his face, and walked out of the main hall.

And Tu Gongjing had nowhere to go, so naturally he didn't object, obediently followed the ghost soldiers, and went out according to the request of King Yama.

"Go and arrange a few dark sentinels who are good at stalking, and keep an eye on this Tu Gongjing in shifts. Just after Tu Gongjing left, King Yama looked at the place where he left, outside the gate of the main hall, and whispered to the guards around him: "You must be lax in the open whistle, but you must keep an eye on the dark whistle." Once it is discovered that he has any contact with Tu Gongjing and the outside world, he must report it in time. But don't act recklessly, don't startle the snake. ”。

The guards silently wrote down what the king of Yama had to say, and a little bit of it came out of his mouth.

It is absolutely impossible for the king of Yama to listen to Tu Gongjing's words. From beginning to end, he was still vigilant against Tu Gongjing. In any case, it was impossible for him to let Tu Gongjing come and go freely.

Even if Tu Gongjing deeply reflected on his crime, and felt annoyed and remorseful about it, he sincerely repented in front of King Yama, but King Yama still had half a doubt about him.

At the same time, he has always maintained the attitude that the heart of harming people is indispensable, but the heart of preventing people is indispensable, and he treats Tu Gongjing, who took the initiative to come to the door and explain the ins and outs of the plague.

"In addition, go to the ghost doctors, and let them prepare to go to the news and information provided by Tu Gongjing, and take river water samples from all the rivers mentioned, and then identify whether the source of the disease is in the water source as Tu Gongjing said. In particular, he mentioned that the source is in several rivers below the mountain and in the underground river in the mountain, so you must check it carefully and carefully. King Yama pondered, and continued to say to the guards: "You must investigate carefully, these underground rivers are basically the water source for us who are stationed here, and we can't and must not be careless." ”。

The guard took it down, nodded and asked, "Marshal, do you have any other orders?"

King Yama didn't say a word, just stared at the dim city in the wind and rain outside the lobby for a moment, and then shook his head silently.

That's all he can think of now. Let's get these few important things done quickly.

Seeing this, the guard nodded again and said, "Okay, I'll go and give you an order for the commander." ”。

"Be quick. When the guards turned to leave after saluting, the king of Yama said, "Do it immediately." ”。

"Got it. The guards hurriedly quickened their pace and trotted out the door.

In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from the sight of King Yama.

King Yama, who was sitting alone in the main hall, slowly frowned under the bright and soft light emanating from the centipede beads on the lampstand in the main hall.

The plague was already a headache for him, and there was another piece of information from Tu Gongjing, and King Yama had more things to worry about.

It's just that as long as Tu Gongjing didn't lie to him, this is a good thing.

If the source of the disease is determined, the ghost doctors under King Yama will be able to prescribe the right medicine to better treat the sick ghost soldiers, and they can also control the spread and spread of the plague from the source.

The fungus man, who had been quietly hiding behind the thick pen holder on the high case, leaning on the pen holder motionlessly, looked up at King Yama and asked, "Dashuai, do you want to report this matter to the Yuque Palace?" or wait until the information is confirmed to be accurate?"

"Don't wait. The Yama King, who was interrupted by the mushroom man's contemplation, ordered the mushroom man without thinking: "Report this situation to Yuque City now, and tell the Yuque Palace that we are actively investigating whether Tu Gongjing's information is true." ”。

"Okay. The fungus man didn't have any objections, and immediately followed what King Yama had explained, concentrated his energy, and passed the matter of Tu Gongjing's coming here and what Tu Gongjing said to the courier department of Yuque Palace......

In the sunny Tiantong City, the breeze is gentle. The streets and alleys that run through the city are still so bustling and lively.

The ghosts who had squeezed into the Yamen of the City God to see the excitement before were cheering and gradually dispersed, and they ran to tell each other, wanting to spread the joy of what they had seen and heard in the Yamen before.

The ghost people cheered because the director of the local school library, who had never been able to sue him, was finally sentenced to dismissal today. Allowing his son to commit murder many times and bullying him can no longer be the pride of the curator's father and son, but their shame and talk to others who despise them.

As for Xiao Shizhu, he was also exempted from paying a fine. Because he pinched the wrist of the curator's son, although he was also to be detained, in view of the fact that he acted bravely and gave medicine to treat the curator's son, he could be exempted from punishment if he was reasonable and legal.

So Xiao Shizhu left the yamen with the ghosts.

But the curator's father and son, as well as the fox friends and dog friends of the curator's son, who did evil together, did not have such good luck, and were taken into custody by the ghosts in the yamen at that time.

Xiao Shizhu, who came out and stood at the entrance of the yamen, stretched comfortably in the face of the cloudy sun that had already set.

"Thank you. The female ghost who was bullied walked to Xiao Shizhu's side, bowed, and said gratefully: "Young Master Su." ”。

The female ghosts still don't know that Xiao Shizhu, who calls himself Su Gongzi, is the King of the Nine Shadows.

And before at the yamen, Xiao Shizhu knew that this female ghost was called Liuyun, so Xiao Shizhu replied: "You're welcome Liuyun." ”。

"I don't even know how to repay you, but I want to do something for Childe to repay Childe. The female ghost said again.

Liuyun, the female ghost, felt that it was difficult to express Xiao Shizhu's gratitude in a thousand words, and she hoped to do something for the other party, to thank Xiao Shizhu and the forbidden army guards beside Xiao Shizhu, as well as Qinglan.

It's a pity that Xiao Shizhu lacks nothing.

If he had only arrived in the underworld, Xiao Shizhu, who had nothing, would definitely have responded in one bite, and then made a bunch of demands on Liuyun.

But now that he not only has everything, but is more mature than when he was on earth, he naturally won't do this, and he won't take advantage of others in this kind of thing.

But he could also see that Liuyun was a stubborn child. was beaten by the curator's son, and they didn't ask for help, so it can be seen that this child will not take advantage of it, and he is not willing to owe favors.

If Xiao Shizhu doesn't say something and let her do it, then this child will definitely have a heart that he can't get over, and he will always feel uncomfortable owing favors.

What's more, Xiao Shizhu also knew that she couldn't stay here to go to school anymore. There are also a lot of ghost officials and ghost officials who are good with the curator in the academy, and maybe they are secretly embarrassed by female ghosts.

No matter how strict the law is, there will always be loopholes, so it must be constantly improved. In case those ghosts exploited the loopholes in the law and cleaned up this unrelated child, Xiao Shizhu didn't help her, but harmed her.

He decided to take Liuyun away, so that this child could study with Xiao Fuling, and he could also become a friend of Xiao Fuling.

It just so happened that Xiao Shizhu had been in the yamen for a long time, and he was also hungry, so he asked the little female ghost of Liuyun: "Liuyun, are there any delicious snacks around here?"

Liuyun was stunned for a moment, never expecting Xiao Shizhu to make such a mediocre request to her.

But he soon recovered from his stunned thoughts, and after thinking about it carefully, he said happily to Xiao Shizhu: "There is a charcoal-grilled meat shop on the street in front, which is good and cheap, let me take you there." ”。

"Okay, this charcoal-grilled meat is not bad, let's go, I'll invite you to dinner." Xiao Shizhu didn't pick either, and motioned to lead the way in front of Liuyun.

Na Liuyun took a few quick steps forward, and when he arrived in front of him, he and Qinglan, as well as the guards of the Forbidden Army who were driving the carriage, and walked forward.
