"Master, what happened here?" Hao Wang came to the temporary detention room of the General Affairs Department and looked at Hu Tao who was locked up inside and was depressed. She asked Hao Wang: "Why? It's obviously the same sales effect, why is it like this..." Hu Tao, who has always been optimistic, couldn't help but doubt her life at this moment.

Hu Tao leaned over the window, sticking her little head out, looking expectantly at Prince Hao. She asked with a grin, "Prince Hao, you're finally here! Can you please tell me how we can sell the coffins in our Wangsheng Hall?"

King Hao's face was filled with black lines, and he muttered to himself, "What kind of question is this..." He couldn't help but feel speechless, because the Wangsheng Hall was responsible for all the funeral matters in Liyue. Whether it was a coffin or an urn, people would naturally come to buy it when they needed it. There was no need to actively sell it.

"That's not the point, is it?" Prince Hao couldn't help but retort to Hu Tao. He then turned to the guards and asked, "What report did you use to arrest the hall master? What crime is she accused of?"

The guard replied expressionlessly, "Master Walnut has been charged with harassment and attempted murder."

Prince Hao asked with a puzzled look on his face, "Harassment is understandable, but what about murder? Although the hall master is quite capable of causing trouble, he wouldn't go so far as to commit murder, would he?"

The subordinate quickly replied, "It was reported by a little girl. She said that Master Hu wanted to murder her and must be punished."

King Hao frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "I think I've figured it out. Was that little girl wearing a hat with a talisman stuck on it?"

The subordinate asked in surprise: "Yes, what's wrong?"

King Hao shook his head helplessly and said, "If that's really the case, then the charge of murder seems to be established."

Hall Master Hu retorted dissatisfiedly, "Hey, hey! I just want to maintain the order of life and death. Is there a problem with that?"

King Hao: "You haven't given up yet?"

Hu Tao: "Ahem, the world is so vast that nothing is impossible. Naturally, I won't pay any attention to a zombie like Qiqi who wants to ascend to immortality through the righteous path of corpses." She paused, "But, well, this is the first time I've seen a situation like this."

King Hao frowned. "Even if Qiqi is a zombie, she's still a human being in everyone's eyes. And yet you want to cremate her. In theory, this violates Liyue law."

Hu Tao quickly explained, "This hall master was just impulsive and didn't actually do anything! Besides, Qiqi didn't hurt anyone, nor did she cause any negative impact on the world, so this hall master naturally won't pay any attention. Besides, that happened half a month ago, why are you reporting it now? And why are you imitating that old antique?"

Prince Hao said sternly, "According to Liyue law, even after three years, you can report it. Hall Master, you should remain in this prison and reflect on your actions."

Hu Tao's eyes widened. "Oh, no! I still have to go back and give Da Mi and Er Mi a bath!" She suddenly remembered something. "Oh, right? I still have business to attend to! Selling coffins is also my responsibility. I can't let this little thing delay me!"

King Hao shook his head helplessly: "Well, in that case, you can stay here for now, but don't make the same mistake again next time."

Hu Tao nodded with a look of relief: "Don't worry, this hall master will pay attention!" As she spoke, her face froze and she asked: "Shouldn't you let me out first?"

……

Amber asked worriedly, "King Hao, what's the situation? How is the hall master now? I think she is a good person, why is she imprisoned?"

King Hao sighed and replied, "I have made a decision. The Hall Master needs to stay in the cell for a few more days."

Ke Lai frowned and asked doubtfully, "So, she's your boss too, right? Is there really no problem with this?"

King Hao shook his head and explained, "Although she is indeed my boss, in fact, I was invited by her grandfather."

Hearing this, Ke Lai muttered quietly: "My employee turned out to be a jerk. I don't think I've seen this kind of plot before..."

After hearing the news, Amber said in shock: "Ah? Walnut still has to stay in prison?"

Prince Hao touched his chin and said meaningfully, "Believe me, you won't like her true appearance... Of course, that's not necessarily the case. After all, everyone has different preferences."

After hearing this, Amber had a puzzled expression on her face and didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Tinari calmly asked, "So, what exactly is the crime? I have some knowledge of Liyue's laws. While I'm not very professional, I might be able to help a little."

King Hao replied, "Harassment and attempted murder."

Tinari nodded in understanding. Then, suddenly realizing something, he asked in surprise, "Harson... and wait, attempted murder?" A trace of sweat began to form on his forehead, and his tone grew nervous. "And there's also a charge of murder... This makes me wonder, isn't the Wangsheng Hall just for funerals?"

King Hao smiled and said, "Not always. Sometimes we get commissions to clean up some strange creatures, but they usually come to us because some alchemists can't solve them. But since Chongyun was born, we don't get to do this kind of thing much more often."

Tinari asked curiously, "So what is the crime of murder?"

Hao Wang explained: "It was a zombie who reported the crime because Walnut almost burned her."

Tinari asked in surprise: "Zombies?"

"It should be around here." King Hao and the others came to Bubulu, and he called Qiqi's name softly. Soon, Qiqi ran to King Hao like a happy little bird.

Qiqi's face was filled with excitement, and now she looked a little more rosy. She held King Hao's hand tightly and said, "Ah, it's King Hao. Thank you very much for the gift. Now Qiqi feels that she has become very smart. The speed of picking herbs is more than a hundred times faster than before."

Tinari looked at the little girl in front of him and asked in confusion, "Who is this child?"

Qiqi blinked and introduced herself: "Hello, I'm Qiqi, a zombie."

Amber and Cole were surprised when they heard this: "Zombies?"

Qiqi nodded seriously: "Qiqi died once, but wanted to live so much that she turned into a zombie."

Although Ke Lai was curious about what it was like to have died once, she remembered that in the novels she had read, it was taboo to ask such a strange being about something, so she gave up the idea.

Prince Hao smiled and added, "Don't look at her small stature; she must be at least four or five hundred years old."

Qiqi looked at King Hao and said, "Qiqi has learned to protect herself. Go and report the crime to Uncle Qianyanjun and have the bad guys arrested and put in jail!"

King Hao praised him, "You have indeed become smarter. Next, I will teach you some more magic, and you will be able to truly transform your corpse into an immortal."
