Chapter 1177 Tangled

"Congratulations, Brother Lu, for winning the first prize in this case. With this article, you will surely become famous in Luodu in the future!" The fair-skinned man's congratulations lit up the banquet.

The chief seat, Lu Huaizhen, was calm and collected, and welcomed the flattery with a smile.

Most of the people seated were young masters of prefectures; of course, most of them were not very successful.

If you are really promising, there is no need to resort to tricks.

This relationship was made possible because his mother's family had improved somewhat, so his father, the governor of the state, decided to find a future for him.

Otherwise, let alone he is a son, even if he is the legitimate son, he has no talent and will have to stand aside.

almost.

With his cultivation at the peak of the foundation building stage, as long as he manages well and obtains the spiritual object for the Jindan stage, he will be able to completely reach the peak.

Whether or not you will have the chance to take the second step after that will depend on fate.

"Come."

"Drink!"

"..."

As they were celebrating, a middle-aged man in fancy clothes approached quietly and said, "Young Master, the master wants you to go back quickly."

Lu Huaizhen was stunned for a moment, and when he looked back, he saw the serious look on the steward's face. He quickly put down the wine bottle, stood up, and said, "I'm sorry, everyone. Something happened suddenly at home. We'll meet again another day. Next time, I'll invite all of you brothers to Wangyue Tower for a drink. Please don't refuse."

"Family matters are important, so go ahead, Brother Lu."

"..."

Lu Huaizhen hurriedly left the room. The carriage at the door had already been parked. The strange beast stood quietly. As soon as he got into the carriage, he asked, "Is father out of seclusion?"

The butler nodded slightly and said, "The master is furious!"

"Ah?" Lu Huaizhen was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat. He wondered if he had angered his father by being so outspoken. He hurriedly asked, "Uncle Lu, please give me some advice."

The butler asked with a slightly suspicious look: "Sir, don't you know?"

"what do you know?"

Seeing Lu Huaizhen's confused look, the housekeeper immediately understood, so he explained: "The county magistrate of Wangcheng has changed the files. Now the young master is no longer the top candidate in the exam, but has been replaced by an ordinary mortal."

"what?!"

Lu Huaizhen was extremely shocked and frowned, "But I heard that the mortal has no connections or background at all. If not..."

"Could it be that Magistrate Hu received instructions from someone else?"

……

"That's unreasonable!"

Bang.

The table and the ground shattered together. The monk in the robe was furious and asked with his hands behind his back, "Is Lu Huaizhen not back yet?"

"My lord, the young master is waiting at the door."

"Let him in!"

Lu Huaizhen stepped into the inner hall with a heavy heart. He saw everything in ruins at a glance and quickly knelt down to salute his father.

Although Luowang City is a small city, it is only compared with Xingcheng. If compared with a mortal city, the difference is like heaven and earth. Huaizhou is a million miles wide, and the power of life and death is in the hands of the governor, who can only be in charge of it.

When the venerable was angry, the ground was covered with blood for thousands of miles.

Governor Lu glanced sideways and asked, "Do you know anything?"

"The child doesn't know."

"idiot!"

The governor was furious.

He must be angry, even if he is calm and composed in his heart. If he is not angry, he will have no dignity. This is his attitude.

In the territory of Huaizhou, he is the one who has the final say, and anyone who disobeys him will not have a good end. Otherwise, he will lose his prestige and will not be able to control his subordinates.

"Have you checked?" The governor looked at the housekeeper.

The housekeeper bowed and said, "We have checked, and there is no trace of the inspector, and the county magistrate has no contacts in the court. The only strange thing is that he met that mortal the day before yesterday, and then changed the list."

"What about mortals?"

The butler continued, "He has no talent at all. If anything, he has some merits."

"Achievements?"

"It is said that when he was in the world of the living, he often spread stories about the underworld, so he gained some merits, but it is not worth mentioning."

"Strange." The governor frowned suddenly, and there was something strange about him, but he couldn't tell what it was. He wanted to figure out something but it was too complicated. He couldn't help thinking: "Is it because I'm old and someone wants to take over Huaizhou, so the county magistrate changes his orders every day?"

"What about mortals?"

"It is said that he is packing his bags and preparing to go to Star City."

"Really an ordinary mortal?"

"Very ordinary, no mana fluctuations at all."

"You are still a little naive if you think you can overthrow me by disappearing like this!" The governor snorted coldly. He decided to do the opposite. Instead of questioning the county magistrate, he would intercept the 'mortal' first. When he found the key with the soul-searching technique, he could deduce who the mastermind was. However, no matter who it was, no one could turn the tables in Huaizhou.

"Report!"

"County Magistrate Hu requests an audience."

"How dare he come here!" The governor was furious, but then he changed his mind and waved his hand, saying, "Please let him in."

"County Magistrate Hu also brought a mortal with him."

"mortal?"

……

Song Zhong looked at Magistrate Hu beside him with a strange expression.

The current Magistrate Hu seemed like a different person. He was no longer aggressive but rather very peaceful. It only took him one afternoon to completely rearrange the case files. Then he posted the new examination list and attached the decree.

At first Song Zhong was only horrified, but now after seeing the results he feels that this move has greatly increased efficiency and is completely in line with the requirements of a capable official whose name will be recorded in history books. Most importantly, he no longer has any selfish motives and will not use his power for personal gain.

However, this clearly completely deprives a person of all rights.

The current county magistrate can hardly be called a human being. Rather, he is like a 'god' extending from the underworld without any mind of his own.

This method is too terrible.

Song Zhong longed for a clean and honest court, but he did not want a world ruled by gods without any emotions.

He shuddered deeply at the thought that one day he might lose all consciousness, erase all emotions, and become one of the countless 'gods' in the underworld.

"Old man, this is not right..."

Song Zhong asked firmly.

There was no response in my heart.

"This is wrong!"

Song Zhong almost yelled. At this moment, a hoarse and ethereal voice slowly sounded: "Are you scared?"

"Fear."

"I'm afraid I've released the real demon!"

The old demon said calmly: "Aren't you afraid of your life, afraid of having everything you have taken away, afraid of death?"

"You have a choice. As long as you agree to his conditions, he might be merciful and choose a better reincarnation order for you."

Song Zhong said seriously: "I was afraid too, but luckily I was saved."

"Is it good?"

"happy!"

“It’s been a pleasure like never before.”

"I can't believe I can do it so easily, but I know it's not my power, it's yours."

"You can obviously punish him and then select a suitable person again."

Song Zhong kept questioning, he felt that this shouldn't be the case.

He said in a loud voice: "God has endowed all living beings with seven emotions and six desires. The interweaving of the seven emotions and six desires has formed a huge world of cause and effect. The constant interweaving has allowed the Way of Heaven to expand."

"The old man has great magical powers. He can turn ghosts into humans and humans into 'gods', but this also erases the uniqueness of all living things and makes them unified."

"Aren't you doing this just to swallow up all living things and become an 'immortal'?!"

"Ah."

Tu Shanjun laughed and said calmly: "You are right. Twenty years of visualization have made you understand many things. However, you still hope that a 'wise ruler' will appear in the world. This wise ruler can balance the clear and turbid streams and use them for the world. But you forget that this is a worldly concept."

"If the sky has feelings, it will also grow old..."

"The underworld should be a transit point, not the origin of evil."

"It shouldn't be like this!" Song Zhong found it hard to accept. He should have been happy because he was getting redress for the injustice he had suffered, but he was also very painful. His appearance caused the old demon to reappear in the world, and the first thing the old demon did when his consciousness attached to him was to change the underworld.

He has completely understood that he is just a pawn of the old devil to purge the underworld.

The governor has appeared in the hall of the government office.

Ascend to the hall!

The Yinchai are on both sides.

County magistrate Hu Qinfei stood beside Song Zhong.

The governor looked at Hu Qinfei and asked coldly, "Who is this person?"

County Magistrate Hu Qinfei bowed his hands but said without any emotion: "The County Magistrate of the Lost City, Hu Qinfei."

As the governor's eyes moved, Song Zhong immediately spoke up, saying solemnly: "I am Song Zhong, and your son won the first place in the case by using my article. I have to tell you..."

"shut up!"

The governor of the state was shocked, and the aura of the venerable enveloped the Mingtang, making Song Zhong unable to say a word. His cold eyes were like those of a Taoist soldier. He could have killed Song Zhong's soul with one glance, but he wanted to know who was instructing him, so he relaxed a little and said, "Don't talk nonsense!"

"Who instructed you to do this? Tell the truth."

As he spoke, the governor looked at the county magistrate, as if he wanted Song Zhong to admit that it was the county magistrate who asked him to do so.

call out!

The figure of the governor had appeared in front of Song Zhong, looking down and said: "How could a mere mortal like you understand the strategies of the underworld, and how could you know so much, and now you are impersonating someone else and trying to use the operation to become the first in the case."

"Tell me, did Hu Qinfei ask you to give such a testimony?"

All the ghosts suddenly realized.

They originally thought that it was the governor's son who had seized the fame.

Now it is clear that how could a tiny mortal soul write such a good article? It is obvious that someone secretly tried to harm the governor, so Mr. Lu was first implicated in the case, and then County Magistrate Hu secretly changed the past, wanting to use this as a means to threaten the governor.

Song Zhong was filled with anger, but he still suppressed all his emotions and said calmly: "Let's stop here!"

It's ironic.

He, the victim, actually went to protect the safety of the governor.

But he was really very scared.

Compared with the momentary pleasure, the consequences will be disastrous once the old devil is released.

"So brave."

"If you don't tell me, do you think I can do nothing?"

The governor became even more convinced that there was someone behind this.

He had to see who was behind this.

Who on earth wants to harm him?

Then he stretched out his hand.

"stop!"

Magistrate Hu, whose spiritual aura was extremely strong, released a burst of strong energy and tried to stop him, but was slapped by the governor and flew away, nearly losing his life.

He held Song Zhong's head down.

Song Zhong retracted his gaze from the county magistrate, looked at the governor and said, "Don't do anything."

The governor snorted coldly: "What a joke."

Use the soul-searching technique.

"Soul search!"

fog.

Heavy fog.

clack.

Governor Lu took a step forward, and what came into view was a long staircase leading to the sky.

The steps are built on the mountain, as if the entire mountain was cut into a slope.

"What's going on?" Governor Lu was shocked.

He was performing the soul-searching technique, but how come he ended up getting trapped in it?
