The Emperor of Hell's Green Plum Pillow She Escaped Again
Chapter 172 Confrontation
Who would have thought that the next second, Bai Shuiru kicked off her slippers and stomped hard on the man's toes with her heel, and denied it harshly:
"You, you are not!"
"Hei Huo Mian, I know you have a Piao vein in the underworld, and even a high position as the Underworld Emperor! But why do you want to help the tyrant? You are already the 'Underworld Emperor' in the human world, why do you have to be the 'Underworld Emperor' in the underworld to be satisfied?!"
"What? No, I mean." Hei Huomian saw that although his words were clear, he was obviously mislead by Bai Shuiru, so he quickly tried to seize the opportunity to be completely honest:
"What? No, I meant..."
Bai Shuiru's lips trembled, and she raised her hand to point to the ground, "You dream so much of becoming the 'Emperor of the Underworld', have you already betrayed me to Mu Xian?! You don't like me at all. You have been so nice to me all this time, but in fact you just want to stabilize me and make me stay here willingly, waiting for Mu Xian to catch me, right?!"
Hei Huomian's breathing became rapid due to his resentment. He took off his sunglasses and threw them aside. He held Bai Shuiru's arms with both hands and looked for an explanation. "Bai Shuiru, do you hate me and Mu Xian so much?"
"Yes, I hate Mu Xian, I avoid him like the snake and scorpion!" Tears in Bai Shuiru's eyes surged like a flood about to burst the dam, "Because he is a terrifying and cruel god!"
After the person finished roaring, she stomped her feet in anger, turned around and ran upstairs, leaving Hei Huomian, who was aggrieved and puzzled, watching her go away in a daze. More than a dozen colorful feathers popped out from above her head, and then fell down in a mess.
At the same time, in the high-level meeting room of the underworld.
"Emperor of the Underworld, do you think that we old guys are hindering your re-election campaign? Are you so impatient to deal with us so as to replace us with a group of 'Ten Kings of Hell' who will obey your orders and follow your lead?!" King Qin Guang had a dignified appearance and maintained his usual smile. Although his expression was humble, his words were full of provocation.
As the King of the First Hall, Qin Guang is in charge of people's life and death, governs the underworld, and guides good people to reincarnation. The other nine Yama Halls always follow his lead.
The Ten Kings of Hell are elected just like the King of Hell, and elections are also held every 100,000 years.
After the Emperor of Hell takes the oath of office, he has the right to nominate five "Yama Luo" candidates and directly enter the final round of elections for the 25 candidates of the "Ten Courts of Hell".
Therefore, the other nine Yama Kings either looked sideways, or whispered to each other, or spoke directly. For a moment, the atmosphere was oppressive and full of doubts:
"Yes, Mu Xian, no matter what, there are old acquaintances among us who followed your father Song Zheng. Are you trying to destroy the bridge after crossing it?"
"We were young once, too. We know better than you, a young man, that not all new ideas and concepts are reasonable, correct, and in line with the present. Your blind changes will only cause unrest in the underworld."
Li You couldn't bear to watch it, and took two steps forward, protesting loudly:
"Ten Yama Kings, the inspectors of the Three Realms Joint Committee have not yet arrived, and the regular meeting has not officially begun, but you are so impatient to charge people with crimes? Who is so arrogant that he intends to disturb the peace of the underworld?! What crime are you accusing the Underworld Emperor of? Are there any witnesses or physical evidence?!"
"Li You," Hei Huomian's voice, as calm as autumn water, interrupted the King of Hell who was about to criticize his subordinate. He played with the lid of the inlaid gold and Hetian jade tea bowl in his hand and said nothing more.
Li You glanced at all the Yamas with disdain, turned around, picked up the teapot and respectfully poured a cup of tea for Hei Huo Mian, and blurted out an explanation without any clue:
"I reminded his assistant an hour ago, and he replied that Commissioner Qi had already left."
Seeing that Hei Huo Mian did not make any comment, Li You turned around and stared at the Ten Kings of Hell, continuing to taunt:
"The Ten Kings of Hell are naturally concerned about the underworld, but I don't know who is the leader of the underworld they serve?!"
The Chakravartin slammed the table and stood up, shouting:
"Du Cha, you keep slandering us, the Ten Kings of Hell, for betraying the Underworld Emperor. What witnesses or evidence do you have?!"
Du Cha is Li You’s real name.
The Chakravartin is Li You's aunt's cousin. She is obviously so angry that she rarely calls Li You by his pseudonym in the human world during work hours.
Li You looked back at Hei Huomian for instructions, and seeing that he kept his eyes down and sipped his tea in silence, he took out a USB flash drive from his pocket and plugged it into the computer. Statistical figures immediately appeared on the conference tablet.
"Since you took office, the merits recorded in the books include those merits accumulated by the people in the human world for their relatives, totaling tens of billions of merits, and no one knows where they have ended up. May I ask the Ten Kings of Hell, what explanation do you have for this?"
Before King Qin Guang could speak, Li You had already responded and pursued:
"After repeated checks, these trillions of merits were broken up and transferred to the personal merit accounts of the seven people present here."
"The gold, silver, houses, cars, jewelry, etc. that their relatives on earth remitted to the Bank of Heaven and Earth totaled one trillion underworld yuan. According to the exchange rate of 1:, as well as the handling fees collected for each transaction, you Yamas have no idea about these confusing accounts, but I have them here!"
Seeing that Hei Huo Mian was instructing his trusted Li You to use his power to indiscriminately accuse others, while he was drinking tea as if no one was around and had no intention of intervening, the King of Chujiang and others became even more angry and slammed the table and cursed:
"Muxian, you, you've really gone too far!"
However, because the King of Chujiang had not yet fully absorbed the effects of his recent facelift and cosmetic injections, not only was his facial expression stiff, he even had difficulty speaking and pronouncing words. However, he was still determined to bite Li You to death, trying to tear a breakthrough from Muxian's camp, "You are, you are a dog!"
The Sixth Palace's King Biancheng gently pressed the Chujiang King's elbow and loudly rebuked:
"Muxian, regardless of whether the so-called evidence you have is true or not, based on your attitude towards us, I must say two fair words:
Even if Li You is your Underworld Emperor's confidant, you cannot let this dog talk nonsense and slander us, the Ten Kings of Hell; this is indeed disrespectful to us. We cannot punish you, but we can punish him! Don't say we beat the dog without considering the owner!"
"Du Cha, you are dedicated and selfless in serving the Underworld Emperor, which is indeed commendable; but in order to advance your career, you even betrayed your family and elders. How is that different from the Black Impermanence Lian Nuan and the White Impermanence Dun Kang who colluded with Hao Zhao back then?"
Upon hearing this, Li You frowned slightly, trying hard to suppress his disgust and disdain.
King Chu Jiang was in power and was about to continue to refute, when suddenly someone reported:
"The news from 5 minutes ago, King Taishan's mansion was attacked by the second wave of Piao who broke into the mansion. He was seriously injured and admitted to the hospital. He is receiving emergency treatment."
"Muxian! You've really gone too far! You're actually going to kill us?!" King Biancheng threw away the teacup in his hand and stood up to look around, "We're sitting in front of you now, how many of us can you kill?!"
Hei Huomian looked up at the expressions of the Yamas and Qi Chu present. Some were relieved, some were worried, some were disdainful, and some were suspicious. He sneered in his heart, and elegantly opened the lid of the tea bowl and lowered his eyes to smell the fragrance of the tea. He keenly noticed that the King of Chujiang in the Second Hall secretly picked up the mobile phone on the table and pressed it. After sipping the tea, he replied quietly:
"Even if there really is someone behind the scenes who instigated others to leak your information and framed Li You, it cannot prove that they are the same group of forces that took advantage of the chaos to snipe King Taishan."
"You all have more experience than me, Mu Xian. I believe you know better than me:
Sometimes, the manipulators behind the scenes will take advantage of the chaos to make the situation even more chaotic in order to cover up their own actions. "
As he was talking, there was a knock on the door, the meeting room door was pushed open, and Qi Chu strode in.
The gazes of the Nine Yama Kings were then focused on Qi Chu's face one after another. Some of them swallowed their saliva nervously, while others seemed to be blessed by God, raised their heads high and turned to glare at Hei Huomian provocatively.
Qi Chu, still wearing a suit and tie, with a watch, emblem, pinky ring, cufflinks and tie clip, walked into the meeting room slowly. The light smile on his face silently announced his challenge, "I'm very sorry, my car broke down on the way and I'm late."
"Is this a situation that can be influenced by your one-sided statement?"
If there is a charge of guilt, it would be easier to wait until everyone is gathered before announcing it.
Hei Huo Mian picked up the tea bowl again, opened the lid of the bowl and sniffed it, keeping his eyes down, and responded:
"Not too late." After taking a sip of hot tea, he elegantly put down the tea bowl, then tilted his head slightly and raised his eyelids to glance at Qi Chu, "The time is just right."
Qi Chu sat down in a very ordinary manner, but it was as if the hearts of several Yama Halls that were previously hanging high and now let go were instantly given a shot of chicken blood, and they began to confront each other again:
"Li You, do you think we don't know that it was you who leaked the addresses of the private residences of King Qin Guang, King Taishan, and King Zhuan Lun?"
The hatred and contempt of the King of Chujiang was like a steel saw, sawing from Li You to Hei Huomian. "You think you are so bold, but the forces behind you are just using a fool like you as a gun."
"Hmph, those who play political games always cook the dog after the rabbit is dead and hide the bow after the bird is dead. I'm afraid that in the end, your fate will be worse than Lian Nuan and Dun Kang."
Li You was about to argue, but out of the corner of his eye he saw Hei Huomian raising his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, so he waited for his order with a respectful expression.
Black Fire sleeps leisurely, and responds:
"Everyone has his own ending and destiny. It is his own choice and destiny."
"Using the fact that the merits of prisoners have been reduced and their sentences have been prolonged, they are exploited more and more, delaying their reincarnation and rebirth, and ultimately causing chaos in the order of the three realms."
"Since the Emperor of the Underworld is dissatisfied with us, the Ten Yama Kings, then I have no choice but to take the lead and resign." As soon as King Qin Guang spoke, the other Yamas also followed suit and expressed their agreement, vowing to embarrass Hei Huomian on the spot.
Seeing this, Li You couldn't help but feel anxious and turned back to ask his boss for help.
You should know that the current Ten Kings of Hell have been in office since the era of the previous Underworld Emperor; not to mention the family power they rely on; just the fact that the Ten Kings of Hell strongly opposed the Underworld Emperor's call and personally participated in suppressing the rebels, their reputation in the underworld is far beyond the reach of other forces.
If more than half of the Yamas are hastily replaced now, it will inevitably cause unrest in the underworld.
However, Hei Huo Mian responded calmly:
"The Yamas have indeed served the underworld diligently for hundreds of thousands of years. As a junior, I really cannot bear to see you guys give up your leisurely retirement life for the underworld." He turned to Li You and announced loudly:
"Li You, from now on you and Jing Churan will jointly lead Helan Minchen, Liao Xingyue, and Zhai Buyao, taking over the positions of King Qin Guang, King Zhuanlun, King Pingdeng, King Chujiang, and King Taishan, and serve the underworld."
Li You looked back at his boss with a mixture of surprise and suspicion, his lips trembling slightly, obviously trying to suppress the urge to politely refuse.
Unsurprisingly, there were opposing voices:
"Emperor of the Underworld, is this how you manage the underworld?!"
"If the underworld is not well managed, it will not only cause unrest in the underworld, but also affect the peace of the human world! Can you, Mu Xian, bear such a heavy responsibility alone?! Don't drag us old bones into it when the time comes!"
“Even when your father was the Emperor of the Underworld, he was already middle-aged and had established a family. On the other hand, you spend every day with that little goblin whose origins are unknown and who can’t even be found in the Book of Life and Death…” The King of Chujiang’s verbal abuse stopped abruptly when his throat hit a sharp object.
"You are disrespectful to the elderly. I'm talking about a dog like you who can't even spit out ivory." Hei Huomian retracted the blue-gray jade spear, restored it to the imperial jade pen, and disappeared back into his right hand.
"Although Li You is only my assistant, he is also a direct descendant of the Wu family, one of the five major families of Heibai, Qing, Wu and Jing. He is the grandson of King Zhuanlun, the great-nephew of King Pingdeng, and the great-nephew of King Chujiang. Don't you trust the younger generations of your own family? If this is true, it is not because Li You lacks ability, but because the Wu family did not teach him well and cultivated him incorrectly."
"Jing Churan, the current patriarch of the Jing family, the current Minister of Departure Affairs and Meng Po, the former nephew of the Underworld Emperor and the son of the former Meng Po, he is naturally qualified and capable of serving as Yama Luo to train, in order to make greater contributions to the underworld."
"Even if the other three are not all from scholarly families, they have been promoted after years of experience at the grassroots level and have made outstanding political achievements,"
Li You has been training as an assistant beside the current Hades Emperor Muxian for more than 8 years. He has indeed experienced quite a few ups and downs. He is a leader among his peers and is indeed capable of taking on important tasks.
King Qin Guang then led his three followers to sing the duet in a leisurely and loud voice:
"Since you, the Dark Emperor, have recommended a candidate, then even if we, as elders who have watched you grow up, retire, we naturally cannot just sit back and enjoy the good life," she looked around at her colleagues, raised her hand as if to call for help, and continued:
"We should make full use of our remaining strength and recommend a few young talents to replace us and help the Hades continue to manage the underworld. What do you think?"
"I agree! The Ten Kings of Hell are particularly important to the underworld, so of course the successor must be the best of the best. Even if he takes office, he must be guided by us for 30,000, 50,000, or 70,000 years before he can be officially promoted to King of Hell."
"I have another suggestion." King Qin Guang raised his hand to signal the Yama Luo to be quiet. She turned her head and stared at Hei Huo Mian, then slowly continued:
"Since the five Yama Kings of the Ten Courts have been replaced, and you, the Underworld Emperor, have not yet made a public statement to continue to run for re-election as the Underworld Emperor, then isn't it time for a new God to take your place?"
"How dare you!" Li You shouted angrily and pointed at King Qin Guang, "How dare you disrespect the current Lord of the Underworld!"
The twelve secret guards also appeared at the same time, half-surrounding Hei Huomian for protection.
"So it is you, Muxian, who have decided to run for re-election?" King Qin Guang smiled faintly, the greed revealed in his cloudy amber eyes seemed to penetrate the sunglasses and peek into Heihuo Mian's entire state of mind.
Hei Huomian lazily raised his hand to signal Li Youhe's secret guard to relax. He picked up the tea bowl in front of him and paused as soon as he opened the lid. His dark eyebrows, which could not be hidden by his sunglasses, gradually gathered together.
Five seconds later, Heihuo Mian suddenly threw the tea bowl in his hand aside, and the Hetian jade cup hit the wall and broke into several pieces.
Hei Huomian remained silent, clenched his molars, and did not chase his opponent.
For a moment, Li You and the leader of the secret guards looked at each other, unsure of how to respond.
Seeing the deadlocked atmosphere and silence, Qi Chu, who was just sipping tea quietly, pushed his glasses and finally spoke:
"Everyone, can you listen to what I have to say as an inspector of the Three Realms Joint Committee?"
