Li Xiuyuan looked at Wang Ping looming in front of him in the midst of the incense, and he couldn't help but feel a little indebted in his heart.

In fact, if he had paid more attention to this friend, maybe he would not have died of illness in the first place, but he was too restrained from his selfish desires, and he had never investigated Wang Ping's life and death since the day he got the book of life and death, so that he didn't know when Wang Ping died.

If you know that he is seriously ill and dying at home, it is not difficult to take a moment to heal him.

"Brother Wang, a large part of the reason for today's situation is my fault, and I will not deny this. Li Xiuyuan said seriously, "But things have happened, there must be a result, I hope Brother Wang can make a choice today." ”

"Whether to continue to be a prefect in the yang world, or to go to the underworld to be a ghost official, or to give up all kinds and reincarnate. ”

Wang Ping said with a smile: "Brother Li doesn't have to blame himself, life and death are fateful, I can complete my life's wishes and die again, I can already smile Jiuquan, I have also met my wife and children and parents at home before, and their lives are not bad, thanks to Brother Li's help, and the neighbors in the town have already known that I am dead."

If I continue to stay in the Yang Realm, how will my family deal with myself, and in what capacity should I claim to be?"

"Reincarnation is the result I don't want to see, I didn't fulfill my filial piety during my lifetime, but I hope that after death, I can have the opportunity to shelter my parents, wife and children, so I hope to go to the underworld to be a ghost official, and I can also contribute to the people of the world and those who died in vain, it is better than being reincarnated without making an inch, otherwise it will be in vain

Be a big husband once. ”

"If you still ask Brother Li to do it. After saying that, he gave a salute.

After going through so much, Wang Ping is no longer the poor scholar who rushed to take the exam in his early years, his mind is becoming more and more mature, and he calmly accepts this fact when he knows that he is dead, and he does not covet the opportunity to die and be resurrected.

Li Xiuyuan said: "There is a ghost city in the underworld, not long after it was built, there are several ghost kings in charge of the party, but there is a lack of a well-behaved, virtuous scholar sitting in the ghost city, in charge of the book of life and death, I think Brother Wang, you are a very good candidate, you can restrain all the ghosts in the underworld and prevent ghosts."

God is in turmoil. ”

"In addition, in order for me to let Mr. Li go to the underworld to assist you, I still let one of my former subordinates, Li Zhong, serve under you. ”

"Could it be that Mr. Li is also a ghost?" Wang Ping said in surprise.

"Hehe, congratulations to Lord Wang, in the future, he will be the king of all ghosts, and he will be the existence of Yama in the underworld. At this time, Li Linfu walked out with a smile, his expression was a little respectful, and he bowed his hand.

Wang Ping didn't know, but Li Linfu understood very well what Li Xiuyuan's entrustment meant.

It means that the underworld will be under the control of this king from now on.

This is a big entrustment, and it is not as simple as an ordinary appointment.

Compared with this prefect in the yang world, it is simply a heaven and a earth, and there is no comparison at all.

"Mr. Li?" Wang Ping was taken aback.

Li Linfu stroked his beard and smiled: "Lord Wang, don't be surprised, I have been dead for hundreds of years, I am an old ghost, and I usually appear in the body of a ghost and god, didn't Lord Wang also see me often wearing a paper umbrella to shade the sun? That's because I'm afraid of the sun." ”

He's also in a good mood.

Because if Wang Ping is a Yama in the underworld, then he is a judge in the underworld.

Sure enough, there are a lot of benefits to following this Li Gongzi.

Now it's a success.

"So it was. Only then did Wang Ping calm down.

"I will leave such a matter of the underworld to the two of you. Li Xiu said from afar.

"Don't dare, don't dare. Li Linfu was a little flattered and said.

Wang Ping also nodded, expressing his willingness to take on this important task.

After this matter must be settled, Li Xiuyuan asked the ghosts and gods in Jinling City to send Wang Ping and Li Linfu to the underworld.

Let the ghosts and gods manage the things of the ghosts, which is exactly what he has been doing.

As for the prefect of Jinling City, Li Xiuyuan made his own opinion, so he asked Fu Tianqiu's former clerk, Duan Wenruo, to do it, he is also an official who does practical things, Fu Tianqiu trusts this person very much, and he believes that he can take care of it very well in Jinling City.

After the matter here was settled, he did not stay in Jinling City for long.

On the second day, he took Qing'e and Qingmei and the two maids beside him to Yangzhou.

Before arriving in Yangzhou, the news of Li Xiuyuan's appointment spread far and wide.

There were many people who came to greet them, including Wu Xiang, Xing Shan, Sha Jin, and Yan Chixia....... There are also Fu Qingfeng and Fu Yuechi, who wear linen and filial piety.

Fu Tianqiu's coffin was transported to Yangzhou and was buried several days ago.

Fu Qingfeng and Fu Yuechi, who are daughters, naturally want to wear linen and filial piety.

Because Li Xiuyuan and Fu Qingfeng had already made a marriage contract, he also went to Fu Tianqiu's grave to worship, but as for Fu Tianqiu's soul, he didn't encounter it.

The first seven have already passed, and they must have been taken to the underworld.

He didn't deliberately look for it, otherwise the old man would have to babble about some of the great truths of eating the king and bearing the king's worries, so let him stay in the underworld.

And because of Fu Tianqiu's death, the marriage between Li Xiuyuan and Fu Qingfeng was also postponed.

Take office and hand over government affairs.

Five days later, Li Xiuyuan had officially become the assassin of Yangzhou.

As a thorn historian is not busy, as long as the officials under the arrangement are diligent and there are no major disasters in the places under his jurisdiction, the thorn history is very leisurely, just occasionally write some chapters, list the merits and mistakes, and pay taxes on time twice a year.

It's just that Li Xiuyuan's identity as a thorn is a little special.

It was not rewarded by the officials, but taken by themselves.

As long as there is no rebellion, he will have the final say on all military and political affairs in Yangzhou.

Li Xiuyuan is just playing once a month, paying taxes normally twice a year, and maintaining the dignity of the imperial court, as for other things, he will not let Zhao Jing interfere, that is, some officials under his command have also been transferred, dismissed, and replaced by his own people.

Although the formation of a party and private sector is not the work of a clean official.

But the way to self-preservation cannot be abandoned.

If he doesn't put the iron bucket operated in Yangzhou, how can he keep his own peace?

It's been less than a month since he took office.

Li Xiuyuan said to several wives and concubines in the Assassin's Mansion on this day: "At present, Qingfeng is still guarding filial piety, although it is inappropriate at this time, but I can't let others wait all the time, I have a concubine in a certain county who should be picked up now, and please hide this matter for me." ”

He looked at Qing'e, Qingmei, and the third sister of the fox and others.

"Husband, you are really romantic, not long after taking office, you were thinking about the concubine outside. Qingmei glanced at her, but she didn't mean to blame.

Since ancient times, how can the powerful not have a group of wives and concubines, and beautiful and many wives and concubines are often a symbol of men's status and status.

Only guards his wife at home, which is the practice of unproductive people in the eyes of the powerful,

Many times, even if Li Xiuyuan doesn't say it, the wife next to him will also take a concubine for him.

The world is like this, and there is no way to do it.

"Is that Qiu Rong? It's not bad. The third sister of the fox lost her winks and said: "Husband, it is her blessing that you can take a fancy to her, and the slave family will accompany you on a trip." ”

Qing'e said: "The third sister is pregnant, and her Taoism has declined, and there will definitely be times when the spell does not work, so let's stay in the house, and I will go with my husband." ”

Be careful to sail the 10,000-year-old ship, Qing'e followed not to be jealous, but to protect Li Xiuyuan's safety.

His righteousness can retreat from the ghosts and spirits of the world, but he has lost his divine power, Dadao, after all, he is an ordinary person, and many dangers are not perceived, if there is a thousand-year-old fox girl waiting by the side, then he can act as Li Xiuyuan's eyes to ensure that nothing goes wrong.

"Husband, are you ready for the concubine ceremony?" Qingmei smiled lightly.

"Not yet. Li Xiu said from afar.

Qingmei said, "Let the slave family and Fluttershy prepare." The carriage and horse honor guard and the like can't be less, the husband can not ride a horse alone, that is very undignified, although the husband doesn't care, but the parents of the girl Qiurong don't think so, the worldly etiquette still needs to be in accordance with the world

Come. ”

Xiaomei was right. Li Xiu said from afar.

Following.

His honor guard of Yangzhou assassination drove out of Yangzhou City.

took the gift of concubine to the county where Qiurong was located.

There is Qing'e along the way, ensuring that you will not be harmed by gangsters.

In a businessman's house in a certain county.

A young and beautiful woman was sitting in the boudoir, looking out the window with her head propped up, looking forward to the dark, and looking forward to the dawn, hoping that the day would pass soon.

"Qiu Rong, what are you looking at? Li Gongzi didn't come so soon, you don't know, he will report back to Yangzhou for more than 20 days, and after Yangzhou takes office, he will come here to accept you after he takes office, and it will not be possible to do it in two months. Do you really think that Li Gongzi will fall from the sky when you look at the sky all day long?

The figure of a quiet woman on the side was revealed.

It turned out to be a female ghost Xiao Xie.

That day, Qiurong was arranged by Li Xiuyuan to go home for refuge, and she also took the opportunity to follow.

I just thought that Qiu Rong would be taken away by Li Gongzi one day, and I could also see Li Gongzi again.

"Xiao Xie, do you think that the husband will not come?" Qiu Rong said a little melancholy.

Women always suffer from gains and losses.

Xiao Xie smiled, "What are you talking about stupidly, Li Gongzi is an adult, he has met with your father to express his idea of wanting you to be a concubine, and your father has agreed, why didn't he come to pick you up?

Yi, when you were in the capital, you still need to handle government affairs for your son, but you don't believe it, and you broke your son's official seal. ”

When it comes to this, Qiu Rong is sweet and shy.

"That, that didn't mean it, my husband has already punished me. ”

"Giggles, how do you punish her, is this how you punish you?" Xiao Xie walked over and touched her buttocks.

Qiu Rong only felt a coolness, but the shame in his heart was even better, and his face was instantly flushed.

But just when the two were laughing and playing, a maid from the house hurriedly ran over and said, "Miss, Miss, that Master Li is here, it's so lively outside, I heard that the county lord is waiting, and the lord is also going out." ”

At this time, there was a commotion outside the house.

"There will be no mistake, it is Li Gongzi who is here. Xiao Xie glanced outside.

I saw a fiery hot aura in the crowd outside.

This breath is very familiar to her, it is Li Xiuyuan's breath.

"Really?" Qiu Rong was overjoyed, her heart was pounding, she had been looking forward to her husband coming to pick her up.

But it was lively outside, but she couldn't go out to see each other because of etiquette.

I only know that the gongs and drums are beating outside, it is very lively, and there is a big banquet at night, and the banquet is adjacent.

On the wine table, the county commander frequently toasted Li Xiuyuan with a flattering face, not daring to show the slightest disrespectful look.

Yangzhou Thorn History, for him, a small county commander, he can't even enter the door if he wants to meet him on weekdays.

Li Xiuyuan drank with a smile and said: "Zheng County Order, this official wants to accept Qiu Rong as a concubine, this is something that everyone knows today, but after this happy event is completed, this official will return to Yangzhou, and in the future, the Qiu family will ask Zheng County Commander to take care of one or two in your county, of course, if it is then Zheng County Order, there is any trouble."

Things can come to Yangzhou to find the official. ”

"Although this place is not under the jurisdiction of the Lord, I think some of the Lord's words are still useful at some point. ”

This Zheng County Ling was overjoyed when he heard this, and said with a sneer: "Certainly, definitely, this is a trivial matter, everything is wrapped up in the lower officials, and the affairs of the Qiu family will be the affairs of the lower officials in the future." ”

Hearing this, Qiu Rong's father Qiu Shou on the wine table was also red, surprised and delighted.

The county magistrate, who doesn't look at himself on weekdays, said this now, wouldn't it be smooth sailing in the county Qiu family in the future?

When the other guests heard this, they also realized that from now on, the Qiu family was afraid that it would be prosperous.

On the side of such a towering tree, how can there be a reason for underdevelopment.

After the banquet, Li Xiuyuan did not leave, because it was too late at night, he borrowed a night at Qiu's house,

He came to Qiu Rong's boudoir and knocked on the door.

Soon, I saw that the heavy makeup was light, and the beautiful Qiu Rong opened the door excitedly: "Husband~!"

Li Xiuyuan smiled, but gently hugged it in his arms: "I'm going back to Yangzhou with me tomorrow, I hope you can live in the Assassin's Mansion." ”

"Well, the habit of living in the slave family, the habit of living. Qiu Rong said again and again.

"Okay, don't be stunned, don't you introduce the sisters in the house?" Li Xiuyuan said again.

Qiu Rong immediately said: "Xiao Xie, come out quickly, it's the husband who is back." ”

Soon, a figure stepped out of the wall, but the figure of a woman was revealed.

Xiao Xie looked at Li Xiuyuan with complicated eyes, looked at Qiu Rong with some envy, and then bowed: "I've seen Li Gongzi." ”

"Xiao Xie, I haven't seen any changes in a while, and my husband doesn't shout anymore?" Li Xiuyuan said.

"Husband. Xiao Xie was a little shy, but also a little happy.

Li Xiuyuan walked over with a smile and said, "I know at a glance that you are angry with me, is it to blame me for not finding a physical body for you and bringing you back from the dead?"

The husband asked knowingly. Xiao Xie said quietly.

Even if Li Xiuyuan doesn't have the breath of a saint now, her body is as strong as a furnace, and a female ghost like her will be burned if she touches it, but it is much better than the damage she received before.

"Actually, it's not that there is no body to give you a soul. Li Xiuyuan sighed, and then took out a woman's body from the ghost king's cloth bag.

This woman is wearing palace clothes, her appearance is upright and beautiful, and she looks like a lady.

It's just that at this moment, he is clenching his fists, his face is cold, and his breath is gone.

This is the palace maid who froze to death in the palace, because it was placed in the ghost king's cloth bag, so it was well preserved, and it was the same as the one who had just died, and there was no sign of decay.

Her soul was attached to the camellia and was planted in the mansion by Li Xiuyuan, and now this body has not been disposed of, and now Xiao Xie is eager to resurrect the body, this is probably her chance.

"She was a show girl who died in vain in the palace, and I pity her for what happened to her and brought her body out. Li Xiuyuan looked at the posture of the woman still holding the mandarin duck sachet in her hand, and his eyes were a little complicated.

This is also a woman who is attached to herself.

It's just a thin face, and I only have a few sides to her, and I don't have too much intersection.

"Treat this body well, Qing'e, please show up and cast a spell to resurrect Xiao Xie. Li Xiuyuan said suddenly.

Suddenly, a green fox jumped out of his sleeve.

Qinghu said, "I thought that my husband would only accept one concubine, but I didn't expect that there was also a ghost concubine." ”

The tone is a little coquettish and blameful, and her demeanor has a kind of feminine beauty.

If you don't see it with your own eyes, it's hard to believe that this is the posture of a green fox.

Xiao Xie is a ghost and is not afraid of fox spirits, as for Qiu Rong, he has also seen the posture of the third sister of the fox turning into a fox, so it is not strange.

Li Xiuyuan was a little embarrassed and said, "Na one is also Na, Na two is Na, my father has issued a death order, asking me to give away all the silver locks in the house, besides, what is wrong with a manly husband, three wives and four concubines." ”

Speaking of the back, it was a little justified.

The life of a corrupt bureaucratic landlord still wore down his firm heart.

Are you going to fall into beauty?

Qing'e chuckled: "It's okay, one more is one more, anyway, the only ones who can accompany the son for the rest of their lives are the slave family and the third sister." ”

"What?" Li Xiuyuan was a little puzzled.

Qing'e didn't speak, she just started casting spells, and with a wave of her tail, Xiao Xie's soul flew over, and then disappeared into the body of the palace maid.

Then Qing'e massaged her chest, but she saw that her chest immediately rose and fell.

I blew into my mouth again, and my breath came with it.

In the end, Qing'e spit out a pill, which was the fox pill that she had practiced for thousands of years.

Danmaru circled around the woman's body, emitting a golden light, and irradiated it, but saw that the cold body had regained its ruddy and temperature, and the breath became more and more like the breath of a living person, without the cold feeling of a corpse.

"Alright. Qing'e took back the fox pill, and then said: "Wait for another stick of incense, she will wake up, and then she will be like an ordinary person, but she doesn't live long by borrowing the corpse to resurrect the soul, when will her life in the yang world be counted, when will this body die,"

"There's Lao Xiao'e, you. Li Xiu said from afar.

Qing'e glanced at her, "Tonight, the slave family will not disturb the joy of the husband's concubine, the slave family will go outside to let the husband out, remember to get up early tomorrow morning, Yangzhou still has official business to deal with,"

"Ahem, got it. Li Xiuyuan said with some embarrassment,

Qiu Rong's face turned red when she heard this, and she was ashamed to look at her husband.

After waiting for a stick of incense time.

Xiao Xie really said the same as Qing'e, opened his eyes and woke up faintly.

The resurrection of the corpse was successful.

"Am I alive now?" Xiao Xie touched his cheek, feeling the warmth and heartbeat on his body, and couldn't help but rejoice.

Li Xiuyuan looked at the appearance of this palace maid, listened to the voice of this palace maid, and looked at Xiao Xie's posture, and didn't know how to distinguish the two for a while.

I just feel that the figures of the two of them are mixed together in the end, and they will no longer be separated from each other.
