There's A Beauty

Li Gui, who claimed to be the ancestor, was the mistress of a wealthy family and was poisoned by his concubine and her husband. He has been dead for more than [-] years.Entering the main hall, she saw the tall man sitting upright with a mask on his face. She couldn't help but her legs and feet were weak, and her two legs were fighting. Then she took a quick glance at Youshu, and saw that his body was shimmering with golden light and shrouded in clouds and mists. He had a hundred years of meritorious deeds In the body, it is unavoidable to be even more horrified.

If such a benevolent person is killed, she can't expect to cultivate a physical spiritual platform in this life, become a ghost fairy in the underworld, and wait for the hell of the gods.Moreover, there are rumors that the current King Yama is the devil who climbed up from the Prison of Hell.If he moved the person he was protecting, what would happen...

The more the patriarch thought about it, the more frightened he became, and the more frightened he became, the more he trembled like a sieve. Immediately, he knelt down and told all the little Luoluo what he was good at.The little ghost who was named by her also hurriedly stepped forward to promote himself, fearing that he would be thrown into the eighteenth level of hell by King Yama if he was useless.

Ghosts were crying and wolves were howling in the hall, and the wind was blowing. If it was another person, they might have gone crazy with fright, but Youshu was still drinking cabbage soup leisurely, her eyes were shining, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and her mood was very clear.With his friends around, he didn't panic at all.

With a wave of his sleeve, Yan Luowang cast a barrier to prevent the wind from freezing the magistrate Xiao Zhao. Finally, he squinted his eyes to look at the group of ghosts, and said slowly, "For the sake of your usefulness, I will spare you from dying." From now on, you will follow Youshu to manage the house, take care of trivial matters, and protect his safety. If you go to the underworld in the future, just report your name as the king, and someone will send you to reincarnation."

All the ghosts nodded again and again, weeping with gratitude.Only the patriarch rubbed his hands and said hesitantly, "My lord, if my family doesn't want to be reincarnated and wants to find a job in the Yan Luo Palace?"

Hey, what a big ambition, even wanting to be a ghost fairy!All the ghosts looked at her together, their eyes full of admiration.

King Yan Luo pondered for a while, nodded and said, "If the merits on the merit book are enough, then of course it can. Alright, let's go, don't scare Youshu."

Your Majesty, he wasn't scared at all, okay?The doors, windows, and floor tiles were all covered with hoarfrost from the ghostly air, and he did not even frown.He is definitely not an ordinary person!The ancestor slandered in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it clearly. He was about to leave with all the ghosts, but he was stopped again, "Wait a minute, don't tell Youshu about this king's visit, just say that you are destined to be with him, and you are here to be him." ghost servant."

The old ancestor looked at the young man who was drinking the soup as if he hadn't noticed anything, so he nodded.

With the help of the handkerchief, Youshu quickly curled up the corners of her lips, and then slowly wiped off the soup on her cheeks, but his bright eyes and slightly raised eyebrows revealed the joy in his heart. "Never leave a name for good deeds", King Yama raised his palm and stroked the soft hair of Xiao County Magistrate Zhao, and his heart was also full of tenderness and joy.

After dinner, one person and one ghost, relax in the garden for a while and then go back to bed.Because there are no servants in the house yet, and there is not enough firewood to burn, Youshu did not take a bath, pretending to inadvertently vacate the seat next to her, and then fell asleep peacefully.Although he is new here and alone, he doesn't feel uneasy at all, because he knows that there is always someone who will silently guard him.

Yan Luo Wang set up defensive circles around the doors and windows as usual, and finally leaned next to Xiao Zhao County Magistrate, taking out memorials and official documents for review, helping him tuck the corners of the quilt from time to time, patted his cheeks, and his attitude was very intimate and natural.At midnight, the ancestor knocked on the door outside, "My lord, I have come in a dream." If I didn't explain it clearly in my dream, a group of ghosts and ghosts suddenly appeared during the day, wouldn't it scare the county magistrate Zhao to death?This is the first step for her to become a ghost fairy, of course she has to think carefully.

King Yan Luo removed the defensive circle on the door and window, let her in, and said in a low voice, "Don't talk too much nonsense."

"I obey." The ancestor pointed his forehead at the forehead of Xiao Zhao County Magistrate, intending to fall into a dream, but suddenly his soul was bound by a ray of black light, and he was thrown far away, almost breaking into pieces.Before she could regain her senses, she heard a cold voice scold, "Who allows you to touch him?"

"My family made a mistake, and my family dare not do it again!" The ancestor knelt down and admitted his mistake without saying a word, and gradually realized a secret thing in his heart: Does this master have any thoughts about Xiao Zhao County Magistrate?Otherwise, why is the tone so sour, and why is the desire for monopoly so strong?However, before she could get to the bottom of it, she was ingested with a soul thread, and threw it between the eyebrows of the sleeping person, connecting the dream.

Youshu was eating, and the table was full of big fish and meat, as well as various pastries. Just as she was about to refill the second bowl, she saw an old woman fall down at her feet, kowtowed repeatedly and called her master.

"Who are you? Why do you call me master?" Already aware of the other party's intention, Youshu still pretended to be stupid.

"The slave family is the town house ghost fairy in this courtyard. The reason why they drove away one after another residents was to find someone who is destined. Because the lord saved the slave family's life in the previous life, if the slave family does not repay this kindness, the cultivation base will be destroyed again. I have no progress, so I came here to be an ox and a horse for the adults, and I also ask the adults to give the slave family a chance. The slave family's surname is Li, and the adults can call the slave family Li's mother." The ancestor said seriously.

"Then you can stay." Youshu quickly accepted the setting of "ghost repaying favor".

The ancestor obviously didn't expect him to be so refreshing, so he couldn't help being stunned. At this moment, a cold and heavy coercion spread above her head, which made her not dare to delay, and she immediately got out of the dream.

"What is he doing in his dream?" There are piles of official documents to be dealt with in both the yin and yang realms, and King Yama is not as idle as he seems.During the day, he guarded Xiao Zhao County Magistrate, and when he fell asleep, he would accompany him by his side, slowly handling government affairs, and the reunion in his dreams would be in vain.But at this moment, Xiaozhao county magistrate's people are all in his arms, so there is nothing to worry about.

"Go back to the king, the master is eating." The ancestor told the truth.

Yan Luo Wang smiled, obviously expecting this answer, and asked, "What kind of food did you eat?"

Fortunately, the old ancestor is a ghost with a delicate mind, and he has remembered all the scenes in his mind, otherwise he will definitely be stumped this time.As she recalled, she counted with her fingers and thought to herself: What is the meaning of your majesty asking these trivial matters?Is it really important what Mr. Zhao ate... Before he finished slandering, he heard the other party ask again, "How many bowls of rice did you add?"

The corner of the ancestor's mouth twitched, "When I went to my slave's house, I was adding a second bowl."

Yan Luo Wang shook his head and laughed, his eyes were full of tenderness.This person is living a poor life in real life, so he can only seek compensation in his dreams, it is really difficult for him.When the Dayong Kingdom is prosperous and prosperous in the future, he can make him whatever he wants to eat, and he must be fed until he is fat and fat.

"It's all right, go down. Give You Shu a warning tomorrow morning, don't appear rashly and scare him." Even though he knew that the man was not afraid of ghosts, King Yan Luo took the trouble to warn him.

The old ancestor realized more and more the king's love for the magistrate Xiao Zhao, and hurriedly agreed.

The next day, as soon as Youshu opened her eyes, she saw a note on the bed, writing: Master, this slave's house is the mother Li who dreamed of me last night. If you want to wash up, just stroke your palm three times, and the hot water will arrive immediately.

Youshu stroked her palms three times, and sure enough, an old woman came in with a hot water basin. Judging by her appearance, she was the mother Li in the dream.Behind her was a series of ghosts, all of different ages, genders, and shapes, but their faces were all pale, and the elongated shadows could not be seen under the light of the morning sun.

After the old woman put down the basin, she wanted to serve the master to wash herself, but she was refused.She took a closer look and found that the master didn't show fear or repulsion, but was simply not used to it, so she began to introduce the ghosts.Fierce ghosts who have practiced Taoism for dozens or hundreds of years, they knew it before they were alive, and they remembered it after death.Some of them are good at cooking, some are good at handicrafts, some can read and write, recite poetry and paint, but they are also versatile.

In order to have a good pregnancy, they wished they could enshrine Youshu like a Bodhisattva. The spooky house had changed drastically overnight.The firewood room is full of firewood, and the cooking smoke is coming out of the stove, and the dusty pavilions have returned to their former neatness and cleanliness.

Youshu looked around, feeling very satisfied, especially when she returned to the living room, she found a steaming breakfast on the table, and her mood became brighter.He ate a few steamed dumplings before realizing something was wrong, and the ancestor asked, "Mother Li, I don't have much savings. Where did you get your white noodles and pork?"

Naturally, King Yama gave it to the family!But the old ancestor didn't dare to say it clearly, so he made it up at random, "You don't know the owner. The owner of this house has changed five or six times in a row, and all of them are rich. They put gold and silver in jars to prevent accidents. Buried in the ground, after a long time, I don’t even remember myself, but it’s easy for us.”

"Really." Youshu was dubious.

"Yeah, look, this is the pot that I dug up." The ancestor flipped his palm over and turned into a clay pot covered with mud, inside which were several ingots of silver and a few pieces of gold leaves.

The golden leaf has clear veins and unique shape, obviously it belongs to the same group as the one that King Yama helped him last time.What else does Youshu not understand?It was clear that the little friend was worried about his own livelihood and wanted to lend a helping hand, but he was afraid of being rejected, so he sent it to the ancestor.

The other party always helped each other silently and left quietly, which made Youshu very moved and ashamed.He didn't have anything good to return, so he had to pick a portion of the breakfast on the table and put it on the incense table to worship.

In Qianqing Palace, Emperor Xuanguang, who had just ascended to the Great Treasure, was sitting on his head, closing his eyes and resting his mind. All the court ladies wanted to serve food, but he sent them away one by one with a wave of his sleeves.The chief eunuch asked suspiciously, "Your Majesty, but the food is not to your taste? The servant asked them to make a new batch?"

Although it is an imperial meal, it is not rich, just a few ordinary pastries, a few vegetarian dishes, and a few cold dishes.Now that the state of Dayong has been established for the first time, and a thousand wastes are waiting for prosperity, the new emperor takes the lead in frugality, and the officials below respond one after another.Of course, the new emperor is earnestly increasing revenue and reducing expenditure. Only they themselves know how the people below will deal with it.

He said softly, "There is no need to change it, just wait for now."

The chief eunuch retreated to the side, thinking about what the master was waiting for, when he saw the white light flashing on the table, unexpectedly a plate of steamed dumplings and two siu mai appeared inexplicably, but it was the offering from the county magistrate Xiao Zhao.The new emperor chuckled a few times, then raised his chopsticks to pick up the steamed dumplings, and thought: If that person sees the gold leaves in the crock and still has no reaction, I will have to ask him in a dream tonight if he still has a conscience. Why don't you know how to be grateful?

Therefore, this is the truth of the so-called "paying silently without expecting anything in return".Youshu, who was kept in the dark, had a very happy life. He ate and drank well every day, and there were ghost servants to take care of the housework. He only needed to go out for a stroll and go to the official department to remind him, and the day passed like this.

The Ministry of Officials also withheld his work report, asking for bribes ranging from [-] to [-], but Youshu has a stubborn temper. The more he blackmailed and threatened, the more he refused to compromise, so he wasted.He came from the apocalypse like a purgatory on earth, and he understands the beauty of ordinary life better than anyone else. It's fine if he doesn't become an official, and he lives well.After buying delicious and interesting ones, I will send them to my friends in the underworld, chatting with his tablet.

There will always be a lot of things inexplicably popping up on the imperial table of the new emperor, including sachets, picture scrolls, flowers, bamboo dragonflies, and even rattles that children like to play.If it wasn't for the new emperor's barriers and blindfolds all over his body all the time, he might have frightened all his courtiers.

This morning, a silver-red beetle suddenly appeared in his hand, he couldn't help being stunned, then immediately pulled it into his palm, pretending to be indifferent.After the next court, when he returned to the bedroom, he spread out his palms and looked carefully, only to see a silk thread tied around the scarab's neck, for some unknown reason.

"Wei Chen, come over and have a look, why is there a thread tied around its neck?"

The head eunuch took a closer look, and immediately smiled, "My Majesty, the magistrate of Zhao County is very childlike, this is to let you play with the scarab! Look at the emperor, the servant will help you walk around, this is what the servant often did when he was young." play."

He grabbed the silk thread and threw the beetle into the air, only to hear a slight buzzing sound, the beetle spread its wings and flew up, but it couldn't escape because it was tied to its neck, so it could only circle around the hall.The chief eunuch circled around twice before returning it, with a look of unsatisfactory expression on his face.

The new emperor had never played this kind of game before, his stern and serious face melted like ice and snow, and then there was a little smile in his eyes, seemingly reproachful, but in fact he said dotingly, "If you don't go to the official department to urge a report on your duty, you will spend all day I know it's naughty. No, I have to go back and have a look."

He always took time out to visit Xiao Zhao County Magistrate during the day, and stayed with him all night at night, as if he had regarded Xiao Zhao County Magistrate's home as his own, and this huge palace was just a decoration.After he disappeared, the chief eunuch waved his whisk and cast a few tricks.

When Yan Luowang arrived at the haunted house, Youshu was pouted, catching crickets in the back garden.A few little ghosts got into the ground to help him find out where there was a cricket's nest, so that he could dig it with a hoe. As soon as he dug the hole, a strong cricket with a square head and a pointed tail jumped out and fled away. up.

Youshu yelled "Oops", and quickly got up to chase, but saw that King Yama had already pointed his finger on the cricket's head, making it unable to move.

From the eyes of ordinary people, the crickets seem to be unaware of the danger, and they are taking a nap on the leaves, and they can be caught with light steps.Youshu controlled her surprise expression, walked over on tiptoe, and put the cricket in the bamboo cage she made by herself.He would never admit that the reason why he enshrined so many toys was to attract his little friends to play with him.Now that the goal has been achieved, he is naturally very happy, his small mouth is pursed, his dimples are squeezed, and his black and white eyes are shining brightly.

How could King Yama not see his secretly happy expression, his heart was so numb, but he didn't show it on his face, when he put the crickets he caught into the small clay pot, he sat beside him and watched him play silently.

Youshu held a piece of dog's tail grass, and kept playing with the two crickets, making them fight together, with lively eyes and brows.

After being left in the cold for half a month, he didn't know what the future would be like, but he was able to maintain an optimistic attitude from the beginning to the end and take good care of himself, which made Yan Luo Wang feel distressed and relieved.He wanted to touch the top of his soft hair, to hold him in his arms, to pat him, but he had to hold back.If everything is revealed, the beautiful scenery that can be enjoyed openly in the past will come to naught in the future.

King Yama is not in a hurry, but some people can't wait.The Erfang family was still confident, but it took a long time to see Youshu coming back to ask for the silver taels, and only then did they know that something was wrong.The torture instruments on their shoulders and limbs now weigh several hundred catties. Not to mention walking, they can't even get out of the bed.

Zhao Youcai was already thin and out of shape, and was lying on the Babu bed, lingering on his last breath. A servant was collecting his excrement and urine, and a maid was feeding him. The room was filled with the smell of excrement and the aroma of food, which was disgusting. .The second master and the second wife were also paralyzed in bed, incontinent, causing the servants to complain.Zhao Youcai's wives, concubines, and children have long since hid in the countryside, and they dare not live in the same room with these sinners, for fear of being implicated.

"Butler, butler, go get Zhao Youshu!" Zhao Youcai had a premonition that his time was approaching, so he had to give in.How did he know that Zhao Youshu was so stubborn, she withheld the job report as soon as she had it, but she didn't take bribes, lived in the haunted house, and didn't move. .

The housekeeper took the order and left, and when he arrived at the haunted house, his legs couldn't help shaking.In recent days, he often came to watch. How could he not know what kind of weird place this is, and how can the young master who can live in this kind of place be an ordinary person?It's a dead end to fight with him sooner or later.

As soon as he raised his hand, the door opened, and a sinister voice rang in his ears, "Who are you looking for?"

The butler was trembling with fright, and said to the invisible concierge, "Please, please, brother, send a message to the young master, just, just say that my master invited him to the house."

"Who is your master?" Yin Cece's voice was a little closer, bringing a gust of wind along the way.

The housekeeper knelt down as soon as his knees softened, and said in a trembling voice, "My master is the second master of the Zhao family, you just say that the family property is easy to discuss, and let the young master go there anyway." He ran away without saying anything.

The porter sneered, and then went back to report.

It was dusk when Youshu arrived at Zhao's Mansion, the room was very dark, and there was an indescribable stench lingering.The three masters of the Zhao Mansion were lying on a mat, their eyes sunken, skinny and dying.Zhao Youcai has been an official for many years, and his bad habits are hard to change. Although he is in a disadvantaged position, he still can't let go of his arrogance. He asked, "Zhao Youshu, how are you doing? If you don't like the 1 taels, I can give you another [-]."

3 taels of silver was exactly what the official department asked for, and there was no handwriting by Zhao Youcai in it, so Youshu didn't believe it no matter what.The more he resorted to these schemes, the more Youshu didn't want to make it happen. She waved her hand and said, "I don't want it, whether it's [-], [-], or [-]. I'll just make a written statement and give you all the property. right?"

"You can't stop!" Before Zhao Youcai could speak, the second wife screamed, her distorted face looked like she had seen a ghost.

"Zhao Youshu, don't be shameless! Your job report is still being held in the official department. If you don't have my help to clear it, you will have to wait in the capital for a lifetime! You have studied hard for more than ten years, just to become a sesame official? Just to waste time? Are you willing?" Zhao Youcai finally showed his hole card.

Youshu lowered her eyes, the old god was there.

At the same time, Ou Tai, the imperial envoy who went to various places for inspection, has returned to the capital, and is standing on the Golden Luan Hall to answer the question. The civil and military officials are lined up on both sides, with solemn expressions.Outai took out a stack of files, all of which were the list of corrupt officials he had killed first and then published, which sent chills down the spine of all the ministers, and Fu heard him change the subject and praised Zhao Youshu, the magistrate of Suichang County.

Officials in Lishui Mansion were either killed by bandits, or dismissed and investigated. This County Magistrate Zhao is actually the only remaining honest official. How can he not be conspicuous?And when he returned to Beijing, he drove lightly, disguised himself, and no one in the local people knew about it. When the new magistrate showed up, everyone suddenly realized that he ran to the gate of the city and cried bitterly.

One after another, the Wanmin umbrellas are enough to cover the sky and the sun. Now they have been stretched open and placed in the open space outside the Jinluan Hall. From a distance, it looks splendid, with colorful silks flying, which is very spectacular.The new emperor was full of praise for the county magistrate Zhao, and finally looked at the Minister of the Ministry of Officials and asked, "Have you ever approved the duty report of the county magistrate Zhao? Show it to me."

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials has vaguely heard of the name of Zhao County Magistrate, but it is not because of the other party's dazzling achievements, but because some subordinates have said in front of him that a stingy Zhima official came after all, and he didn't even have a stepping stone of tens of thousands of taels. willing to buy.When local officials come to the Ministry of Officials to report, they first have to pay a full amount of money, and then they are graded and assigned positions. This is a common practice. I understand very well.

How could he have expected that Outai, the imperial envoy, was so impressed with the other party that he brought it up in front of the emperor.Now the emperor seems to want to personally arrange this person's future, how should he deal with it?Could it be that he told others that he had arrived long ago, but was detained by the humble minister?This is clearly a dislike for not wearing the black hat on his head securely enough!

The head of the Ministry of Officials turned sharply, and finally remembered one thing, cupped his hands and said, "Report to the emperor, you don't know, then the county magistrate Zhao came, but he didn't listen to persuasion, and insisted on writing a report on his own work, because the report If it does not conform to the established rules, I will press it down and not publish it, and now I am ordering someone to rewrite it."

A speech officer immediately added insult to injury, "My Majesty, there are laws and regulations. If the official documents submitted by officials are not in compliance with the rules, it should be regarded as dereliction of duty and should be investigated. It is true that Master Liu is kind to him, but it is against the law of the country. It is really inappropriate. According to what I see, regardless of Zhao County Magistrate's performance, if he is wrong, he is wrong, and he must be dismissed from office, and then deal with it."

"You can't believe one-sided words. Let's read County Magistrate Zhao's debriefing report first." Outai naturally supported Xiao Zhao County Magistrate.

The new emperor was not a partial listener, so he immediately sent the chief eunuch to ask for a report on his work from the Ministry of Officials, and summoned County Magistrate Zhao into the palace by the way.
