"Your Majesty, what's wrong?"
Fat Tiger learned the ability to observe words and emotions from his master, lowered his head and asked.
"Nothing." Duke shook his head.
It was something that was expected, so apart from being a little shocked at first, he quickly adjusted his mentality.
The members of the two classes together will definitely turn this world upside down, especially since everyone is familiar with the plot and knows what opportunities there are.
"Keep working on it."
Duke, who regained his composure, looked at Fat Hu and warned: "From now on, you will be responsible for patrolling the night to ensure the safety of the people in the mansion."
"My city god clone will also protect the city."
After saying this, he looked at the enthusiastic people and craftsmen again, waved to the master, motioning for him to follow, and then left the City God's Temple with shouts of "Long Live".
"Everyone, work hard. Tonight, first build the main hall for Fat Tiger Immortal to receive incense and worship, and then repair the stone slabs outside."
"The wages must be paid in full and generously, and laborers and craftsmen must be guaranteed at least three meals a day, including meat and fish."
"If anyone dares to violate the truth, be careful with the head on his head!"
I saw the master giving a few quick instructions, and then quickly followed Duke's footsteps.
A bunch of bureaucrats and gentry were stunned to see this guy...
For a moment, everyone didn't know whether they should despise or envy the master.
On the way.
Duke whispered in his heart: "There is no way, I am only a fourth-grade prefect, and I am not worthy enough to be canonized as a second-grade prefect."
"Although I temporarily took advantage of my luck as a human being and refined the divine seal in advance to officially assume the position of City God, there will be more benefits if I can be officially canonized by the court."
"King Minling...King Minling...Jinling must have been attacked first. I wonder which guy is so lucky."
Since there were dozens of members from other classes that he was not familiar with in this class, Duke did not think about Lu Li.
"No matter what, Jinhua Mansion is also a good place. Whether it is Ning Caichen's hometown or Guobei County where he collects debts, they are all under his rule."
"Yiye Zhiqiu of the Kunlun sect, Yan Chixia, a Buddhist and Taoist practitioner, Grandma the tree demon, and the old demon from Black Mountain..."
Duke was visibly excited when he thought of the Black Mountain Old Demon. He did not dare to think of the position of Emperor Fengdu, but the position of King Biancheng among the Ten Palaces of Hell was indeed within his grasp!
Lord of Hell!
I never thought that one day I would become a mythical figure... No, this day should have come so early...
With his thoughts turning rapidly, Duke was no longer depressed and decided to move up slowly and steadily.
After all, he also occupies a good spot.
It can be predicted that the Jinhua Mansion, which is at the center of the storm, will become extremely lively in the future, and various forces will appear one after another.
"Lord Fu Zun."
At this time, the master trotted out of the City God's Temple. Looking at Duke, who was walking on the street with his hands behind his back, he gasped and said, "What are your orders?"
As he spoke, he forced out a flattering smile.
After so long, Duke has become accustomed to this guy's sinister, sly and cunning attitude, and he feels in his heart that as long as he doesn't continue to do evil in the future, it will be fine.
There is no way, there are really few people who are capable and familiar with the operation of the officialdom. Except for the master, no other officials are good.
"Where is the prison in the city?"
"take me."
Hearing this, the master bent down slightly and was not in a hurry to lead the way. Instead, he asked: "Sir, you don't know something. Excluding the counties under our jurisdiction, there are two prisons in Jinhua Mansion."
"One is in the west of the city and the other is in the north of the city."
"This is the west side of the city, where the children of powerful people or those who are related to management are imprisoned."
"In the north of the city, many streets are deserted due to the difficult times. Walking there at night is like a ghost town."
The master smiled sheepishly, leaned down lower, and continued: "So, the people locked in there are all scapegoats and poor people."
"Go to the north of the city."
As soon as he finished speaking, Duke grabbed his master's shoulders.
Time flies.
After just a few breaths, we arrived at the north of the city.
"Lead the way."
"Uh... uh... yes."
The master picked up an abandoned wine flag, vomited out most of the meat soup and sesame cakes he had just drank not long ago, wiped the corners of his mouth with a silk scarf, and then staggered forward to lead the way.
From beginning to end, I didn't dare to complain.
All kinds of scenes are captured by Xuanguang Mirror.
However, Lu Li didn't have time to pay attention to this for the time being. He was realizing the rewards of becoming the Queen of Minngling.
It took a long time before I opened my eyes.
"Chenghuang Yiyi relies too much on incense and faith, and is bound to the fate of humanity. If one is prosperous, both will be prosperous, and if one is harmed, both will be harmed."
"In a peaceful and prosperous age, you can indeed compete with those with great supernatural powers, but as the world fades and faith is lost, it will decline with it."
"Fortunately, the Yin Qi in this world is strong, which makes up for the innate deficiencies. In the future, as long as the human world is managed well, various benefits will be obtained."
The words seemed to reveal dissatisfaction and some pickiness, but the tone was not like that. Lu Li had obviously gained a lot of benefits.
Under the concerned eyes of the horse-faced seducer, he stood up slowly and said: "First run Nanzhili well, and then seek the position of King of Hell."
The city god relies on humanity, incense, and faith.
But the King of Hell is very different from him. Like the Emperor and the Star King, he has the status of heaven and earth to practice, and no matter how the world goes up and down, he will not be greatly affected.
"That's right."
Suddenly, another voice sounded in the hall.
The statue of King Mingling enshrined in front of the temple had changed at some point. Its face and body shape were different from before, but it was no different from Lu Li.
I saw a figure walking out of it.
There is a crown on the top of the head, with beads hanging on the front and back. There are nine colors, nine jade beads, five clothes and four chapters. On the front and back of the clothes, there is a five-clawed dragon embroidered on each shoulder. There is also a dragon on each shoulder. The five-clawed dragon has a size that far exceeds that of the prince and is second only to the emperor.
I have to say that as long as a person is handsome and has a strong temperament, he can still manage even if he wears such complicated clothes.
At this moment, Lu Li looked at himself wearing the "dragon robe", and there was an inexplicable emotion flowing in his heart.
"Has there ever been a scholar like Ning Caichen imprisoned in prison?"
Suddenly, there was a voice coming from the Xuanguang Mirror.
Lu Li, the clone of King Ming Ling, and General Ma Mian all ignored the small talk and all turned their gazes over.
In the mirror, the scene flashed.
Dark, clammy.
It is surrounded by walls made of stones, and square deep windows are scattered here and there, about the size of two adult palms, for ventilation.
In addition, there are rows of rusty iron bars and unkempt prisoners lying on dry straw.
"Sir, here is the roster."
The jailer bowed, presented a list with both hands, and said with a smile: "There is no one named Ning Caichen in the prison."
Duke took the roster, flipped through it, and asked, "What about Zhou Yabing?"
"have!"
The jailer woke up from a dream, and his tone increased a bit unconsciously: "Two months ago, a death row prisoner named Zhou Yabing was indeed sent in. At first, he kept complaining, saying that the police arrested the wrong person."
"If I remember correctly, he said several times that his name was Ning Caichen, but there was no trouble in the past month, so the official didn't think of it."
Without Duke having to speak, the master kept urging, "Why don't you hurry up and lead the way!"
Although I don’t know how this Zhou Yabing... no, Ning Caichen came into the eyes of Master Fu Zun, judging from previous experiences, Scholar Ning is indeed very valued.
"Yes Yes."
The jailer didn't care to say anything, raised his torch, and began to lead the way.
The picture in the mirror rotates.
Now, Lu Li himself can activate the Xuanguang Mirror without the need for General Ma Mian to take action.
The environment is getting darker.
There were two figures squatting in the corner, one of them with disheveled hair, holding a stone in his hand, and drew a vertical line on the wall tile.
"Old man, how long has it been?"
The voice sounded slightly tired.
"No more, no less, exactly two months."
Zhuge Wolong, Ning Caichen!
The former is a scholar of Tongtian, with a great reputation and a lot of abilities. He just sees the world clearly and simply hides in prison for peace and quiet——
Writing travel notes is said to reveal state secrets;
Writing history is said to use the past to satirize the present;
To explain the art of war is to instigate rebellion;
Rewrite stories about gods and monsters, but they are also slandered and lead to superstition;
In the end, he had no choice but to rewrite the biography of the famous person. As a result, the famous person got into an accident and was convicted of being a traitor. Zhuge Wolong and that person were also sentenced to life imprisonment.
As for the latter...
General Ma Mian, who knew the plot direction of "A Chinese Ghost Story" with the help of his body memory, couldn't help but turn his eyes towards Lu Li.
Vaguely, it saw a green light flashing above its master's head.
If this world develops normally, Miss Qingfeng, who has now entered the Hou Mansion, will be with Ning Caichen, and Ning Caichen will also transfer all his infatuation for Nie Xiaoqian to Miss Qingfeng, and the two of them will wander around the world.
However, General Ma Mian also knew that this ending would never happen again.
The Ning Shusheng in the mirror is still the Nie Xiaoqian who is waiting for reincarnation to grow up slowly.
the other side.
The listless Ning Caichen collapsed on the straw mat, turned over silently, and thought to himself:
It turns out that it has been so long.
Zhuge Wolong sighed, and said with a humorous tone that saw through the world of mortals: "Why bother, life is just a prison, it will be the same no matter where you go."
As soon as he finished sighing, he suddenly pounced back, stuffed the cockroach and a few straws into his mouth and started chewing happily.
Neither of them cared about the footsteps echoing in the dark corridor, they just thought it was another unlucky guy being caught in the room.
"Old man, have you noticed that it's unusually quiet outside today, except for a few faint shouts of long live, and the roar of beasts..."
Before Ning Caichen could finish his words, he heard the sliding sound of the chain. He jumped up in excitement and asked hurriedly:
"Have you caught the real fugitive Zhou Yabing? Let me go."
The sound stopped suddenly.
"Ning Caichen?"
Duke looked at the excited Confucian scholar in front of him and couldn't help but nodded secretly, thinking:
His appearance was indeed good, but not stunning, at least not as good as Lu Li's.
After all, the good looks of my brother have been officially certified, and no matter which world he goes to, he will be favored by beautiful women.
