Almanac

King Qin Guang, No.1 among the Ten Kings of Yama, was also the first to become the King of Hades. Almost no one in the underworld knew about his past.

King Guang of Qin has a book of life and death, which records the life and death of the mortals.It can be said that Qin Guangwang is in charge of the overall operation of most of the officials in the underworld.

***

Taiping County is a county seat in the south. It is said to be a county seat, but it occupies a large area. Although it is not the most prosperous place for traders, it can be considered affluent.

Amidst the endless hawking, an old woman with gray hair staggered to her booth, put down two baskets of freshly picked fruits, took out a piece of clean coarse cloth that was almost washed white, and spread it on the ground. Put fruit on top.

The fruit is smooth and stained with the morning dew, and if it is set up too high, it will roll down a little.

The old woman said "Oops" and was about to pick it up when she saw the two red fruits rolled to one person's feet.She looked up subconsciously, and saw a woman in a white shirt, followed by a person with sharp eyebrows and eyes.The old woman didn't dare to look at it with just one glance, let alone go up to pick up the fruit.

However, during this time of bowing her head, the old woman still didn't know what to do, a jade-like hand stretched out in front of her, and there were two fruits in her hand.

The fruit is red and pleasing to the eye, but it completely serves as a foil in this hand, making the hand whiter and more beautiful.

"Huh?" The old woman didn't turn her attention, and just responded in a daze.

"Your fruit." An exhortation sounded in my ears, and then the two fruits were lightly placed on top of the fruit pile, without touching the other fruits in the fruit pile at all.

At the same time, two more hands brought back all the remaining fruits and put them back on the cloth.

"Thank you, young lady!" The old woman finally came back to her senses, and quickly thanked her with a smile. When she looked up, she saw that young lady in white was nodding slightly indifferently. After what she said, the old woman lost all fear, picked up a few of the best fruits, wrapped them in paper, and stood up holding them in both hands, "Girl, take this well, it's a new one picked today." , so sweet."

The woman in white seemed a bit surprised, she shook her head quickly, but before she could say anything, there was a series of hooting sounds accompanied by the sound of horseshoes and wheels coming from a distance. There were two other guards on horseback, who drove all the passers-by on the road and rushed towards them.

"Traveling in the downtown area." The person following the woman in white frowned, subconsciously said something, his voice was a little low, but he could hear the obvious dissatisfaction in it.

However, these few words caused the old woman next to her to wave her hands in shock: "This girl should pay more attention, don't say it out loud."

This sentence of persuasion aroused the interest of the woman in white: "Oh? Old man, what do you say?"

The old woman looked around cautiously, seeing no one was looking at her, she lowered her voice and said, "That's Yang's carriage!"

Seeing her uneasy look, Mr. Su Wen nodded his head after saying the same thing again.

Seeing that she didn't ask anymore, she seemed to understand, the old woman also heaved a sigh of relief, and lowered her head to pick up the bag of fruit, and when she wanted to stuff it to her again, she found that the two of them walked away in the blink of an eye. The greeting was no longer heard.

"Su Wenjun, what are we going to do next?" asked the person who was following behind the white-clothed woman after walking a certain distance. These two were naturally Su Wenjun and Nan Gongjing who came to the mortal world to investigate at the invitation of King Qin Guang.

Su Wenjun didn't answer right away, but took Nangong Jing all the way through, and arrived at a small temple in the east of Taiping County after about a quarter of an hour.

There is no need for Su Wenjun to say more, Nan Gongjing took a look at the Earth Temple, immediately understood what she meant, reached out and knocked three times on the door frame of the Earth Temple.

After a while, an old man with a white beard came out from the earth temple. Seeing that there was no one around, he bowed respectfully to Mr. Su Wen: "Xiaoxian pays homage to Mr. Su Wen." The land is a place of water and soil. The chances of contacting the immortals in the celestial world are almost zero, but they communicate more with the ghost messengers who often go to the mortal world to run errands, so they naturally have some understanding of the situation in the underworld.

"His Royal Highness Qin Guang found out from the book of life and death that there is a person who deserves to die in Taiping County. The two of us came here for this matter, but we don't know much about this place. Please explain to the land." Su Wenjun's tone was indifferent, but still polite .

In fact, this kind of thing is to arrange a ghost messenger with high qualifications to visit, and if it doesn't work, there will be Cui Fujun, Zhong Kui, etc., but Qin Guangwang seems to not see Su Wenjun spending time in the pavilion every day, so he will ask her to do it from time to time Do something, especially after Nan Gongjing followed Su Wenjun.

This couldn't be easier for the land, so he immediately explained in detail: "There are 210 people in Taiping County, but there are often traders passing by in Taiping County, and there are dozens to hundreds of them every day. There is one strange thing that happened." He didn't dare to pretend, seeing Mr. Su Wen looked over, he hurriedly continued, "In just five days, three people fell into a coma, and the doctor couldn't find the reason."

"Drowsy?" Su Wenjun frowned slightly, "Is there any clue in the land?"

The land smiled wryly and waved his hands: "Mr. Su Wen, a mere celestial being, how could he have such supernatural powers. This matter was also mentioned when someone came to burn incense earlier. Now I only know that the three of them were all killed by the Yang family. When I received it from the family, they said they would visit famous doctors for treatment." As a land, when the incense is strong, you can still have some supernatural powers, most of which are knowing the population of your own land, and then listening to people's livelihood gossip in the temple.

Even if you encounter demons and ghosts, the land can only report to the heavens, and there is no way to stop them.

Knowing the situation, Su Wenjun just asked and thought for a moment: "What's the situation with the Yang family?"

This land can still answer, and naturally knows everything: "Now this Yang family refers only to Prime Minister Yang's family in the south of the city. The old man of the Yang family has been prime minister in the court for 40 years. After two dynasties, his disciples are everywhere, and he is very powerful Now he has returned to Taiping County for three years, and even the county magistrate respectfully obeys him, and he can be regarded as the emperor of this area. Therefore, it is not surprising that this strange incident was done by the Yang family. In this Taiping County, Yang In addition to Prime Minister Yang, the master of the family also has his grandson, who is said to be the eldest grandson of Prime Minister Yang, who is the most favored." Seeing that the land said this, he paused, and then added, "The grandson of Yang's parents is only here. In the past three years in Taiping County, at least three lives have been lost, and countless evil deeds have been committed."

Su Wenjun glanced at the land, the old man's face was full of indignation, and of course he was helpless.

"What this son has done, after he dies, he will be sent to the underworld, and the judge will judge him." Su Wenjun didn't seem to have any feelings, but said lightly, "This Prime Minister Yang, but Yang Guangwen, has ninety-two cash? "

"...Yes." Land replied respectfully.He wanted to say something, but in the end he swallowed it back. After all, they couldn't do anything to a person whose life was not over.

After asking these questions, Su Wenjun nodded at the land, turned around and took Nan Gongjing away.

After walking for a while, Nangong Jing asked aloud: "Su Wenjun, do you need to go to Yang's mansion?" In the past, when they came up, most of them would hide their bodies and go straight to the target, but this time it was slightly different, so Nangong Jing also Don't dare to make a decision easily.

Sure enough, Su Wenjun shook his head: "Don't worry, since King Qin Guang specially told you to use less spells first, there should be his reasons." When King Qin Guang talked about this, he also specifically suggested that they could pretend to be ordinary first. People in the world, so as not to startle the snake.

Nan Gongjing silently recalled Qin Guangwang's expression when he said this, showing a tangled expression.She has followed Su Wenjun to the underworld for decades, and she has never been able to adapt to Qin Guangwang's behavior style.It doesn't look like the King of Hades at all!

At this moment, King Qin Guang, who was passing the Naihe Bridge, suddenly sneezed two or three times, scaring the new ghost who was about to drink soup at the bridgehead and almost spilled the soup.

Granny Meng, who was holding a bowl of soup, squinted at him, and said with a smile: "What's wrong, Your Highness, could it be that someone is thinking about it."

King Qin Guang quickly waved his hands: "How is that possible?"

Granny Meng shrugged and smiled for a while, then passed the bowl in her hand to the next new ghost, and then said: "Your Highness sent Mr. Su Wen to work again. Are you really afraid of being stabbed by Mr. Su Wen's little guard?"

"..." King Qin Guang subconsciously imagined the scene, shook his head, waved his sleeves and pretended nothing happened, "How could that be! That's an important business, besides, it's good for young people to walk more."
