Chapter 289: The Netherworld

"Let's go to Warat. The Southern Ghost Emperor also spoke.

And the city king also frowned and said, "What does Lord Ghost Emperor mean?"

"We need you to help us talk to that Lako boy in Warat. The Southern Ghost Emperor also said with a smile.

The city king looked at the Southern Ghost Emperor and said, "Aren't you making fun of me, aren't you making fun of me? ”

"Anyway, Laco is far more ambitious than Latour, so Daming won't support him, and now he has no other choice but to cooperate with us?"

"But the Immortal Monarch never wanted to tear the Ming Dynasty apart. "It is rare for the king of the city to say such a sentence from the perspective of the king of the underworld.

The Southern Ghost Emperor also smiled and said: "When did you still have the same heart with the Immortal Monarch? This is what the Immortal Monarch meant, a broken Varat can't have any impact on us, and the war is in Varat after all, we can completely get out of it." ”

"Lord Ghost Emperor thinks about this matter too easily. The City King also frowned and said, "This Laco has such a big appetite, we may not be able to do much benefit if we find him." ”

"Then coercion by force, I think you are still familiar with this job. Could it be that you still want to go against the opinion of our Five Ghost Emperors?" The Southern Ghost Emperor didn't bother to look at him, and slowly said such a sentence.

"Lord Ghost Emperor's orders, I naturally don't dare to disobey them, but there are still a group of masters in this Wara. ”

"It's just some remnants of sins that can't be mixed up in the land of the Central Plains. The Southern Ghost Emperor also smiled and said.

And the king of the city also smiled when he saw the southern ghost emperor say this, and said: "Since the ghost emperor is so confident, then if I shirk it, it will seem that I am a little pretentious, so I will go to Warat tomorrow." ”

"If only you could think so. The Southern Ghost Emperor also stood up and walked outside. And the city king also bowed down to send the southern ghost emperor outside, and the city king's eyebrows were also a little more dignified.

"A nuisance. After drinking the leftover tea from this teacup, the city king turned his head and fell on the bed and stopped thinking about anything else.

And on Fang Xiao's mansion, a black shadow was also flying quickly on the tiles, and after determining Fang Xiao's room, he just turned down and down, but he heard a slight sound and turned back sharply. I saw an old Taoist looking at him with a smile: "Listen to the clever one, the ears are not bad." The man in black didn't say anything, leaned forward, and the dagger in his hand drew a beautiful arc. Lao Dao also shook the dust in his hand, just wrapped around the dagger, and the man in black also shook his wrist, and the strength in his hand was up, and the dagger also hooked a circle, cutting off half of the dust. Xu Laodao was also distressed, took this whisk in his hand and said: "You are really welcome, I have been with me for so many years, and I have been gently cut by you." It's distressing. Where did the man in black have the heart to listen to Xu Laodao's complaints, and the dagger in his hand came to Xu Laodao's neck again. Xu Laodao was no longer clumsy this time, and after rolling the man to the ground with half a handful of dust, he also said with a smile: "What do you want to do?"

And Fang Xiao also stood in the courtyard and smiled and said, "But a dead man, what else do you want to ask?"

"The young master is awake?" said Xu Laodao after jumping off the eaves.

"I can still hear these steps. Fang Xiao also chuckled and said, "Okay, don't pretend to be dead." As he spoke, he also kicked the man in black, and the man in black also deliberately lay on the ground and turned over at this time, wanting to kill Fang Xiao to complete the task. But Fang Xiao was also on guard, the dagger of the man in black had not yet reached Fang Xiao, and the folding fan in Fang Xiao's hand had just hit the abdomen of the man in black, and the man in black was also directly knocked to the ground.

"Young master, has the internal strength recovered?" Xu Laodao also asked.

"I'm afraid it's only seven or eight percent. Fang Xiao also sighed and said, "But it's enough to deal with these stinky fish and rotten shrimp." Saying that, Fang Xiao and Xu Laodao also wanted to see the situation of this person, but the man in black also spit out a mouthful of black blood, and his breath was gone.

"Dead?" Fang Xiao also looked at Xu Laodao, who was tempting the black-clothed man's snort, and asked.

Xu Laodao also stood up and nodded, and then said, "If you are dead, you should have a poison sac hidden in your mouth." ”

"It's a dead man, even if you can catch something to ask, it's not easy. Xu Daochang, don't take it to heart. Fang Xiao also glanced at Xu Laodao, who still wanted to turn out something, and said.

"Yes. Xu Laodao also nodded and stood up, but he also pinched some of the things he found in his hands. also changed into his arms and took out a jade bottle.

"What is this?" Fang Xiao also looked at Xu Laodao's outstretched hand and asked.

"Young Master, this is what I came from the Six Gates. Xu Laodao also said jokingly.

Hearing this, Fang Xiao also smiled and said, "It's hard for Xu Daochang." As he spoke, he also reached out and took the jade bottle in his hand.

Seeing that Fang Xiao accepted this jade bottle, Xu Lao Dao also told Fang Xiao about this Wudang treasure, and Fang Xiao, who heard this, also frowned and said, "Xu Daochang, this thing is too valuable. Looking at Fang Xiao's eyes, Xu Lao Dao didn't know what he was thinking, so he hurriedly stopped his words and said: "Young Master, first of all, you are the master of Xuanyuan Gate, this thing is yours, and secondly, Lao Dao, even if I have this thought, I am past the age of taking this thing, and I said to me that if you want to improve the realm, what you need is not a natural treasure, but a state of mind." ”

Fang Xiao also heard that Liu Yutian and Xue Nong had heard about the topic of the realm, and also knew that Xu Laodao did not lie about it, so Fang Xiao also nodded seriously and said, "So I will accept it." ”

"That's how it should be. Xu Laodao also turned over and jumped out of this place, and his face changed slightly, and then he went to the residence of the dust.

Yi Jinglan also pushed open the door and said, "Why don't you sleep yet?"

"Some people don't want me to sleep. Fang Xiao also smiled and pointed to the corpse lying there. Yi Jinglan is also a person who has seen a big scene, so naturally she will not be frightened by such a scene, but she just said lightly: "You have been a little bored recently." ”

"I didn't mean to scare you, it was true that he wanted to assassinate me, but he was not as skilled as me, so he died. Fang Xiao also shook his head and said.

"How come?" Yi Jinglan also frowned and said, "No, you shouldn't provoke any enemies when you first arrive in the capital, even if you provoke it, those officialdom are also aware that you are highly valued by the emperor, and you will not toss some unnecessary trouble." ”

"Who knows?" Fang Xiao also sat at the stone table and said, "I want to know more than you who hates me so much and doesn't know me?"

"Do you think it will be Miss Su's admirer? Yi Jinglan also said with a chuckle.

Fang Xiao slapped Yi Jinglan with a folding fan in her hand and said, "You are a maid who has crossed the line, besides, how can you not be a noble son if you can contact Miss Su, how can you act so absurdly?"

"It's just some, what a noble son. Yi Jinglan also touched her forehead and said.

Fang Xiao also said again: "You girl, did you mean to scold me." ”

"You are also a gentleman, you are not familiar with the Qinhuai River, you have made achievements in both civil and military affairs, how can there be an official son like you. Yi Jinglan also stood in front of Fang Xiao dissatisfiedly and said. And Fang Xiao was sitting on the stone bench, and the folding fan in his hand was also shaking gently. But this scene seems to be completely different from Fang Yongning, who just opened the courtyard door and walked in. It's like his brother is sitting and flirting with Yi Jinglan. So this Fang Yongning was also busy covering his eyes and said: "This black light is blind, I can't see anything." ”

Looking at Fang Yongning, who was about to leave, Fang Xiao also said, "Come back to me." ”

"Brother, it's not good for me to come back here. Fang Yongning also said awkwardly.

Hearing this, Fang Xiao also cried and laughed and said, "Okay, come back and stand up, why do you have so many things." ”

"Brother, what happened just now. Fang Yongning also knew that she shouldn't make any more trouble, so she also smiled and said.

Yi Jinglan also opened her mouth and said: "In your brother's words, it's not a big deal, that is, killing an assassin." ”

At this time, Fang Yongning also saw the man in black who had fallen somewhere, so Fang Yongning also frowned and pulled Fang Xiao to look left and right.

Fang Xiao also stood up, squeezed Fang Yongning's hand and said, "What are you going to do?"

"I don't do anything, just to see if you're hurt, brother. Fang Yongning also asked nervously.

"If I'm injured, I'm not going to bandage and sit here and chat with you?" Fang Xiao also said with a dissatisfied face, "Is this stupid." ”

"I'm stupid, I'm stupid, as long as you're okay, brother. Fang Yongning also said with a smile.

"Okay, let's just let the six doors deal with it tomorrow, it's not too early today, so you can rest early." After Fang Xiao finished speaking, he also turned around and walked inside.

And in a small courtyard in the capital, Dye Chen also looked at the half of the cloth that Xu Laodao took with a serious face and said, "I said Xu Laodao, you didn't cheat me?"

"You have also seen this, I can't draw this thing, and besides, this matter is related to the safety of the young master, even if I want to tease you, I will not joke with the life of the young master. Xu Laodao also said seriously.

"In that case, it's just trouble. Dye Chen also looked at the four words on the cloth, 'The world is peaceful', in a daze.

"Needless to say, it's just those little ghosts. We, Xuanyuanmen, have never been afraid. Xu Laodao also spoke.

"Aren't you talking with a weak heart?" Dye Chen also said with a smile, "If that Yama King had chased you all the way from the capital to Guanzhong, if it wasn't for the master of the gate, you would have been gone." ”

Xu Laodao was also a little dissatisfied with the old bottom when the dust was exposed, and said: "What year is the yellow calendar of this year, besides, they have disappeared more than our Xuanyuan Gate in the underworld over the years, even if they want to enter the WTO, they also need an excuse, and don't forget, that statement." ”

"You said that this Immortal Monarch is the lineage of Emperor Jianwen?" Dye Chenye also asked.

"That's the kind of thing, do you think the Holy Lord will let them go today?" Xu Laodao also said with a smile.

"The fact that this Immortal King dares to let this rumor come out shows that he has the heart to compete for a seat, otherwise he would not have the courage. Dye Chen also said, "And it doesn't even matter if he is in the line of Emperor Jianwen, as long as there is this excuse." ”

"So we have some other thoughts, such as letting this underworld appear in the eyes of the emperor in advance. Xu Laodao also spoke.

"I said Xu Laodao, you really match your name, Xu Wei (hypocrisy). Dye Chen also said, "You've got all this physical evidence back, what are you going to tell them?" ”

"You can return this physical evidence if you take it. Xu Laodao also smiled and disappeared into the night.

Ran Chen also looked at his back and scolded with a smile: "This old guy." And the man in black who fell in Fang Xiao's courtyard also had this extra piece of cloth on his body. As the sky brightened, Zhu Jianji also asked while eating: "Cao Banban, you said that Dingguo Gong will go to court today." ”

"This Dingguo Gong, who was so bold yesterday, has been on the same page as the officials of the court, and today he must avoid his edge, wait for the emperor to summon him, and then play a weak man to win the hearts of everyone. Cao Anhua also analyzed.

And Zhu Jianji put down the bowl and said: "Cao Banban, you are wrong, this Dingguo Gong will definitely come today." ”

Cao Anhua also stood aside and said: "The emperor's talent is naturally farther than the slave. ”

"What are you talking about?" Zhu Jianji also said with a smile, "The emperor is not a human being?" You looked at Xu Xingwen, the Duke of Dingguo, and also expected that I would not confront all the nobles, so he must make a fuss about this case in the court, if I defend the civil servants in the court, then everyone will be in danger, and if I tolerate Xu Xingwen, then the civil officials will be cold, so this is a wrong thing to do.

"Your Majesty, why don't you wait for the old slave to go up and say that you, by chance, you won't go to court today?" Cao Anhua also asked.

Zhu Jianji also said solemnly: "I am the emperor of the world, and others have always avoided me, where is the reason for me to avoid, this is not to let the world's scholars laugh at me for being scared by a Xu Xingwen and not daring to go to court." ”

Cao Anhua also knelt down and said: "The old slave said in vain, the crime deserves death." ”

"Get up, we are going to meet my good courtiers. Zhu Jianji also said after adjusting the dragon robe himself. So Cao Anhua also accompanied the Son of Heaven to the hall that belonged to him.

"My Emperor, long live, long live, long live!" shouted after everyone knelt down.

"Flatten. Zhu Jianji also smiled and said, "Fang Xiao, why are you so angry, this is not well-groomed, the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate can participate in you." ”

Everyone also laughed, after all, this yawn is definitely not to the point of punishing the crime, I am afraid that this son of heaven is also secretly satirizing the madness of the Metropolitan Procuratorate in the past few days, and it is also to let the Metropolitan Procuratorate also control it, otherwise it will be a literary prison, the so-called too much, is such a truth.

And Su Buqing also stood up and said: "Back to the emperor, there is a reason why this young Yin is tired when he goes to the court. ”

"Look, I just knocked Fang Xiao, this Fang Xiao's father-in-law can't sit still? Then Su Buqing, tell me, what did your son-in-law do last night?" Zhu Jianji also said with a smile.

Su Buqing also opened his mouth and said: "Yes, Your Majesty, this Fang Xiao was assassinated in the mansion, so he couldn't sleep peacefully one night." ”

"What! In this capital, there are still people so bold at the feet of the Son of Heaven?" Zhu Jianji also said with a gloomy face, "Why don't I know about this matter?

Su Buqing also knelt down and said: "Back to the emperor, it was already midnight when this incident happened last night, and the minister was afraid of disturbing the emperor, so he didn't report it." ”

"Well, in that case. Has this case been clarified?" Zhu Jianji also said.

Su Buqing also frowned, gritted his teeth and said: "Back to the emperor, this killer is a dead man, so we haven't caught any useful news." ”

"In other words, you can't find out who did it, right?" Zhu Jianji also said in a cold voice.

"The emperor is not wrong to say so. Su Buqing also knelt and said.

Zhu Jianji also narrowed his eyes, there was only bottomless darkness in his eyes, and after a deep groan, he said: "That is to say, in Shuntianfu, at the feet of the Son of Heaven." There are murderers who can wantonly murder my court officials, and there is nothing to be done? These are the six doors that I trust and are good at. ”

"Wechen failed to live up to the grace of the saint, and asked the saint to punish him. Su Buqing also knelt and said.

"I've punished you, who will catch this murderer for me. Zhu Jianji also sneered and said, "Su Buqing, don't say that I didn't give you a chance to watch, I gave you seven days." And the spy of this East Factory, I also let Cao Anhua have full authority to help you, if you can't find out in this way, you can bring your head to see me. ”

"Chen Fangxiao has a good performance. Fang Xiao also stood up and said.

Zhu Jianji also glanced at Fang Xiao and said, "What's the matter, Fang Xiao, you didn't sleep well this night, why are you so energetic now?"

"I beg you to go to Six Doors for the time being to investigate this case. Fang Xiao also said, "After all, Weichen is the victim of this case, and he also knows the methods of people in this vein." ”

"I think you're worried that your father-in-law will be dealt with by me like this, and you will be blamed by Su Wei. Zhu Jianji also chuckled and said, "I'm right, but I said ugly things in front, aren't you Fang Xiao good at solving cases? If this case can't be handled in seven days, you and Su Buqing will come to see me with your head." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Fang Xiao also knelt down and said.

"Okay, retreat!" Zhu Jianji also walked off the stage after speaking, and Dingguo Gong in the crowd didn't expect Zhu Jianji to take such an opportunity to step down, and said secretly in his heart: "This Zhu Jianji is really slippery, and he can't catch his shadow at all." ’

And the ministers who walked out of the hall also gathered together rarely, and Su Buqing also pulled Fang Xiao in front of him dissatisfiedly and said: "You kid, what is this called, you don't know that the emperor is angry now, and the decision made at this time will kill people." ”

"This is not a mortal situation. Fang Xiao also said dissatisfiedly, "Besides, Uncle Su's case, I am the one who was assassinated, and I can't arrest people myself?"

"If you want to get involved, just come to me, why bother to open your mouth to the hall again? Could it be that there is still someone who can stop you?" Su Buqing said angrily.

Wu Hongyong also pointed at Su Buqing and said, "What do you mean, Su Buqing, are you blaming us?"

"Alright, Shousuke. Jiao Ke also stopped Wu Hongyong and said, "Fang Xiao, Su Buqing is not wrong about today's matter, you are indeed impulsive." ”

"Uncles, little nephews now know that I am impulsive, but this is done. Is there any other way to turn around?" Fang Xiao also said after spreading his hands.

Looking at Fang Xiao's unrelenting appearance, these hearts also drew out Fang Liangping's appearance. So much so that in such a situation, everyone also laughed.

Su Buqing also said after laughing: "Okay, talk to your father and son, I will definitely die for ten years." Come on in the afternoon, I do need you to help me with some things. ”

"The boy understood. Fang Xiao also smiled and said, "The child will come in the afternoon." ”

Then Su Buqing also nodded and left. And Wu Hongyong also pulled Fang Xiao back and said, "Okay, your father-in-law is gone." ”

"Uncle Wu. Fang Xiao also looked like he was listening to the training with a bowed face.

"Okay, put your picture away for me, when I don't know what you think?" Wu Hongyong also said to Fang Xiao, "This matter is the same as what you said, there is indeed no room for reversal, so let you go, but don't worry, your uncle will ask himself that it is okay to save you, so you don't have too much pressure." ”

"But my Uncle Wu, the child's father-in-law is still hanging in the balance. Fang Xiao also said with a smile.

"Don't come to this set, these are your things. Get out, this Shuntian Mansion has its own old men to take care of it, these days you just go to the six doors to help Su Buqing investigate the case, after all, the old man also has a good night's sleep. Ren Huo also spoke.

"Thank you, uncles. The little nephew thanked me here. Fang Xiao also knelt down and bowed. No one stopped Fang Xiao this time, after all, this was what Fang Xiao should do. Later, Fang Xiao also went to his mansion.

And when he arrived at Zhu Jianji in the imperial study, there was still an angry look on his face, but some joy appeared. Zhu Jianji also leaned his whole body back on the chair and said, "Okay, Cao Ban can say it if you have something to say, I see that you are uncomfortable." ”

"It's the emperor, the old slave doesn't understand. Your Majesty, did you know about this in advance?" Cao Anhua also asked.

"It's not like you've never seen the internal guard. Zhu Jianji also pursed his lips and said, "I knew about this news last night, and I even knew it earlier than Su Buqing, because Fang Xiao didn't report the news to Su Buqing as soon as possible, but turned his head and went to sleep." ”

"This kid has a big heart, not like Lord Fang Liangping, but a bit like that person's style. Cao Anhua also said with a smile.

"Big heart? haha. Zhu Jianji also smiled and said, "If Yuan Chen knew that you were commenting on him like this, what kind of expression would he have? ”

"Don't you think the emperor?" Cao Anhua also said with a smile.

"Also, it sounds good to make Mount Tai collapse in front of him and his face does not change, and if it doesn't sound good, it is a big heart. Zhu Jianji also nodded and said, "Okay, let's not talk about that kid." Cao Banban, do you know who this killer is?"

Cao Anhua also looked at Zhu Jianji meaningfully and said, "Your Majesty, do you know whose person this is?"

"Of course I know that the killer has a piece of cloth on it that has four words on it: 'The world is peaceful'. Zhu Jianji also said solemnly.

"Hades?" Cao Anhua also asked with a look of disbelief.

"That's right, it's the underworld, it seems that this fellow sect of mine is finally going to be unable to hold it back. Zhu Jianji also smiled and said.

Cao Anhua also thought about it and said: "In this way, I can understand why you are so angry in the court, Your Majesty." ”

"Yes, I can only be angry in this court. Zhu Jianji also said with a smile.

"But the emperor, will Su Buqing startle the snake? Cao Anhua also asked solemnly.

Zhu Jianji also glanced at him and said, "Are you the first day to fight those people in the underworld?

"The old slave understands, the old slave will cooperate with Su Buqing to turn the capital upside down. This Cao Anhua also said respectfully.

"Well, you go down and make arrangements. Zhu Jianji also leaned on the dragon chair with a smile and said.

Cao Anhua also raised his eyes, glanced at Zhu Jianji, who was leaning on the dragon chair, and said with a smile: "The old slave retired." Then he also walked out of this imperial study. With Cao Anhua walking out, a figure also walked out.

"Jairus?" Zhu Jianji also asked after glancing at it.

"Back to the emperor, the minister is a squint. The man named Jairus also knelt and said.

"Did the prison cow keep an eye on those people?" Zhu Jianji also asked.

"It's the Prison Cow and Pu Prison who have gone to find out where those people are. Jairus also spoke.

Zhu Jianji looked at Jianxing's head and said, "You are not a person who is suitable for this kind of work, when you have your knife." ”

Jairus understood. Jairus also lowered her head and said.

"This underworld is a great problem for me, and I like it for you to tell them that I can give you whatever you want when you get rid of it. Zhu Jianji also asked.

And Fang Xiao chuckled in his yard and said, "Yongning, don't jump up and down, isn't it just a case?"

"When you handle a case, you have to put your life in it, so what is it called handling a case. Fang Yongning also said dissatisfied.

"Don't worry, what kind of person is your brother and I. It's all a small matter. Fang Xiao also said with a smile.

Fang Yongning also hammered Fang Xiao and said: "You don't take your own life seriously, how we toss it is at will." ”

"Yongning, that's not what I said. This case already involves me, and I still have a position in Six Doors. It's also reasonable to look into individual cases. Fang Xiao also spoke.

And Fang Yongning was obviously not very satisfied with Fang Xiao's words, and said: "The wood is already in the boat, no matter what we say, it is useless." Since you are going to handle this case, then you also go and talk to Sister Sorrow, after all, it will be even more sad to let Sister Sorrowful know when the time comes. ”

"Yes, I see. Fang Xiao also nodded and then headed towards the six doors.

In the yamen of the six doors of Shuntian Mansion, a head catcher also rushed into Su Buqing's study excitedly and said: "Chief head catcher, we have finally figured out what this 'world is peaceful' means!"

"What's wrong? Don't you think it's a rebel organization?" Su Buqing also said with a smile, and it could be seen that Su Buqing was in a good mood.

The catcher also opened his mouth and said: "Chief catcher, you guessed wrong, this is really a rebel organization." But before that, I want to tell you a folk story. 'Legend has it that there is a pair of ghosts in this underworld called black and white impermanence, and this white impermanence is called Xie Bi'an, which belongs to yang. He is often full of smiles, tall and thin, pale complexion, with a long tongue, and the official hat on his head has the words "wealth at first sight" written on it, giving thanks and good luck to those who respect the gods, and respecting them as "impermanence", "white master" and so on. Suck the ghost of the male, and scatter the soul of the female. And this black impermanence is called Fan Wusheng, which belongs to yin. The face is fierce, the body is wide and fat, the face is small, and the official hat is written with the words "the world is peaceful", which means that there is no forgiveness for those who disobey the law and bear the guilt, and they are called "short master" or "black master". Suck the yang soul of the woman, and scatter the yang spirit of the man. Now you know what it means to say 'the world is peaceful'. ”

"The underworld, is this the darkness and impermanence of the underworld?" Su Buqing also said with a frightened expression.

"Chief Catcher, according to the intelligence we have gathered, it is said that the white impermanence of this underworld usually does the work of news investigation and intelligence transmission, but this black impermanence is the work of killing, assassinating, and assassinating. The catcher also said with a smile.

"If it was really done in the underworld, then this matter is tricky. Su Buqing also thought about it and said, "Wait, go and bring me the case of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites." ”

"Yes, my subordinates understand. The catcher also nodded and went outside.

At this time, Fang Xiao also came to the six doors. "What's the matter, Uncle Su, I see that they are all in a hurry. ”

"We seem to have caught a little bit of the murderer's tail. Su Buqing also looked ahead with a solemn face, and said with a slight bite of his lips.

"Really?" Fang Xiao also said happily, "This is really good, who is that." ”

"You may not have heard of this organization, it's called Hades. Su Buqing also said slowly, "But Xu Wei and they should know, I will briefly say it here, no one knows when this organization was established in the underworld, but this organization has definitely had a lifespan of several decades, and this organization is composed of a Hades Monarch, the Five Ghost Emperors and the Ten Hall Yama Kings, as well as some scattered members." ”
