Original God: The Eternal Lord of Bliss

Today is the day that Zhu Xie and Ning Kuan are to be buried. Zhu Yuncheng did not see his two good friends off for the last time. Instead, he waited until after the burials before finding Ning Cai and bringing him to the Guili Prison.

Ningcai didn't understand why the Human King brought him here. When he saw the people imprisoned in the prison, his pupils shrank: "Subjects of the Salt God?"

The Qianyan Army at the side brought a stool to Zhu Yuncheng, who sat down and looked at the Salt God's people: "Being here means that I know everything about you. Now I give you a chance to tell me everything."

Mingjie's forehead was covered with cold sweat. He remembered seeing the Guili Human King from a distance once when he was young. He didn't feel anything that time, but this time when he saw the Human King up close, he felt the intimidation and domineering aura emanating from the latter, which almost made it difficult for him to breathe.

"King Guili, I admit my mistake. I will tell you everything!"

Apparently, one of the Salt God's subjects could not bear the pressure from Zhu Yuncheng, the King of Men, and told him everything exactly as it happened.

It turned out that as Zhu Yuncheng repeatedly signaled Ning Cai to lower the value of Yancheng's handmade products, the ruling class of Yancheng could no longer obtain enough Mora from the common people to meet their daily lives.

When the protest to Guili was ineffective, the nobles of Yancheng had evil intentions. They bribed Ningchao, the eldest son of Ningcai, and earned Mora from him by selling private salt. However, Ningchao rarely had Mora to spend because Ningcai was strict, so the two hit it off and started to cooperate. It has been more than three years now...

Ningcai listened, a look of shock and anger appeared on his face, and he knelt down on the ground: "Human King, this is all my fault. I will go back now and bring my unfilial son to Zhu Hong, and let him be punished by the law of Guili."

Zhu Yuncheng glanced at him and said, "According to Guili law, those who smuggle salt shall be sentenced to death. Will you let your son die?"

Ning Cai was stunned for a moment, and recalled the appearance of his child in his mind. Tears could not stop flowing down his cheeks. He cried, "Human King, I can't bear to let go, but there is nothing I can do. The Guili Law is the basis of my Guili, and it cannot be changed just because Ning Chao is my child."

Zhu Yuncheng stared at him closely, and after a while he gently waved his hand: "I believe you, go back."

"Yes, Human King." Ningcai wiped her tears, stood up and left.

Mingjie's body was shaking. What did he hear? Those who smuggle salt would be sentenced to death. Does this mean that they will also die?

In a hurry, he shouted: "King Guili, we are the people of the Salt God, you can't kill us, otherwise, the Salt God will hold you accountable!"

Zhu Yuncheng sneered: "You are asking me for a crime, but you don't even think about what kind of personality your Salt God has. He has a power beyond that of humans, but he is extremely weak and can only compromise blindly. What can he do?"

When they heard King Guili belittle the Salt God Heuliah in this way, anger showed on the faces of these Salt God's people, and then they became depressed, because they knew that King Guili was right.

Zhu Yuncheng saw the reactions of these people and sneered in his heart. The ruling class of Yancheng did not take the Salt God seriously at all. For them, the Salt God was just a tool to maintain their rule.

If it were Guili, if anyone dared to laugh at the Emperor, all Guili people would fight to the death with the other person at all costs.

This is the gap between the two sides!

An idea suddenly popped up in Zhu Yuncheng's mind. He stood up and left. When he came outside, he asked, "Where is the Qianyan Army?"

"Long live the Human King." A Qianyan soldier immediately stepped forward.

"Tell Shen Lei to send a few smart people to Yancheng to find out about the living conditions of the civilians there."

"Yes."

----

The scene changed, and in the Yaoguang Palace, Ning Chao was sitting in front of his desk, feeling dazed.

Ever since they met a few days ago, he could no longer find Mingjie. He also couldn't find him when he went to the small restaurant where he lived. From then on, a bad thought arose in his heart and lingered for a long time.

Could it be that Mingjie and his men were discovered by the Qianyan Army and then captured? No, they had never been discovered by the Qianyan Army, and he had even asked Chongfeng, but the Qianyan Army hadn't captured anyone recently.

If that’s the case, where did Mingjie and his people go?

"Xiaochao?"

"!"

Ningchao was startled and turned around to see Ninghui looking at him.

"aunt?"

"Your father asked the servants to come and ask you to go back."

"Oh, I understand." Ning Chao stood up, and his face suddenly turned pale.

Why did his father call him back at this time? He never does this on other days. Could it be that his affair was discovered?

"Xiao Chao, what's wrong with you?" Ning Hui frowned and looked at Ning Chao, "Do you need me to call a doctor for you?"

"Aunt, my father called me back home. What for?" Ning Chao asked with trembling lips.

"The servants said that your father had someone prepare a meal and asked you to go back to eat." Ninghui explained.

"Oh oh oh, I understand." Ning Chao breathed a sigh of relief, then left Yaoguang Palace and got on the animal cart to go home.

Soon, Ning Chao returned to the Ning Mansion and saw his father sitting in front of a table filled with delicious food. He asked with a smile, "Dad, why did you ask me to come back for dinner? Is there something wrong?"

Ning Cai looked at his son quietly, and said in a gentle tone: "I remember that it has been a long time since you and I sat together for dinner, and I haven't asked about your affairs for a long time. Come and sit down, and today we can have a good chat as father and son."

Ning Chao was stunned when he heard this. In his memory, his father, as a Tianquan Star, always went out early and came back late, and seldom talked to him. Most of the time, he was with his grandfather and mother.

"Come and sit down." Ningcai waved his hand, and Ningchao no longer hesitated and sat next to Ningcai.

rub!

The next moment, Ning Chao stood up because Ning Cai was pouring him wine.

"Dad, what are you doing?"

"Apologize." Ning Cai smiled bitterly. "I, your father, have been the Tianquan Star for so many years. There have been many businessmen who have tried to curry favor with me, and many who have begged for forgiveness after committing crimes. The first thing they do when they meet me at a banquet is to pour me a glass of wine."

Ning Chao suddenly froze in place, with bad thoughts emerging in his mind.

"It's my fault too. It seems like since you were little, I told your mother and my mother to give you less pocket money so that you would study hard, thinking that this would be able to restrain you, but I didn't expect... Alas, no wonder Mr. Ren Wang always says that if a son is not well educated, it is the father's fault." Ningcai shook his head in distress.

Ning Chao's body was already shaking: "Dad, what happened? Don't scare me!"

"Eat, don't think too much, these are the dishes you like to eat." Ning Cai said softly, "It's not enough to just eat the dishes, drink, drink."

As he said this, Ningcai drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

However, Ning Chao was in no mood to drink at the moment. He looked at Ning Cai and said, "Dad!"

Ningcai's body trembled and he looked at his son with complicated eyes.

The latter cried, "Has everything about me been known?"
