I am a boss in the world of nine uncles

Chapter 1472 The KPI is pointing at King Zhou!

King Zhou was ill.

This is the consensus reached recently by the Shang Dynasty's Prime Minister Shang Rong, the deputy minister Bi Gan, the senior official Mei Bo and other upright officials.

However, this disease is not a headache or fever, nor is it a bone injury, but rather it is debauchery and immorality!

Ever since Daji entered the palace, the originally wise and mighty King Zhou seemed to be possessed by an evil spirit. He indulged in wine and sex, ignored state affairs, and even became unreasonable.

For example, searching the entire city for an unknown woman was an abuse of state power and a waste of court resources, which was a completely foolish act.

Therefore, the upright people could no longer bear it and began to talk in private, intending to persuade King Zhou to face up to the foundation of the country...

Qin Yao took in all the undercurrents in the court, and ripples gradually formed in his heart.

Give advice.

Give advice.

How could King Zhou's sword not be sharp?

He made you ghosts, and I made you gods.

Although it is only a Yin spirit, it can also live forever and not fall into reincarnation!

Just as he was trying hard to resist the urge to add fuel to the flames and was watching the surging waves, a Taoist priest came by using the earth escape technique to visit the strange man.

When Song Yiren heard the Taoist's name, he went out to greet him. He looked at his brother with gray hair and said with emotion, "My dear brother Ziya has grown old too!"

"Time is unforgiving."

Jiang Ziya thought of what his master said about the difficulty of becoming an immortal, and could not help but smile bitterly.

"As long as we don't waste our time, we will have no regrets. My dear brother, please come in." Song Yiren was open-minded and turned around and said.

"Thank you, dear friend."

Jiang Ziya expressed his sincere gratitude and went to the thatched cottage, where he and Yiren sat down as host and guest, with full courtesy.

"Which mountain did you go to, brother Ziya? I vaguely remember you telling me about it, but as you get older, you tend to forget things." Song Yiren asked with a smile, ordering the servants to pour tea and water.

"Kunlun Mountain is a sacred place for saints," Jiang Ziya responded.

Song Yiren nodded: "Now that you have come down the mountain, have you achieved success in the path of immortality?"

Jiang Ziya: "..."

Song Yiren was an experienced man. Seeing that his expression was not right, he immediately said:

“It doesn’t matter if it doesn’t work. Throughout history, so many people have sought immortality, but how many of them have become immortals?

Now that my dear brother has returned, it would be better for him to start a family and carry on the family line.

Brother, I have some money, so I can help you out a bit."

Jiang Ziya waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Brother, I am not here to have a feast, but I had a dream a few days ago. I dreamed that there was a demon in your house, causing the walls to collapse. I was worried and came here quickly. Now that I see that you are fine, I feel much more at ease."

Song Yiren smiled and said, "Originally there were indeed five goblins in the backyard, but they were taken away by an immortal."

Jiang Ziya was surprised: "Immortal?"

He knew that he would not dream nonsense, and that he dreamed of the evil spirit in Songjiazhuang. This evil spirit might have some cause and effect with him. He never thought that he was still one step too late.

Song Yiren nodded: "They are a pair of handsome brother and sister as beautiful as jade. The young man is called Yang Jian and the girl is called Yang Chan."

Jiang Ziya was stunned.

Yang Jian's nephew?

Could it be that I was wrong, and it wasn't that the five monsters were destined to be with me, but that fate was guiding me to find Yang Jian?

Thinking that Xibohou was now in prison, he gradually had some ideas in his mind:

"To be honest, my dear brother, Yang Jian is my nephew, and he and I each received a blessing.

My dear brother, do you know where Yang Jian is now? I have some confidential matters to discuss with him."

Song Yiren laughed and said, "It was in the brothel in my Song Family Manor. I tried my best to persuade the brother and sister to stay. I never thought it was for my brother."

At that moment, he led Jiang Ziya to the back garden and saw the brother and sister sitting in the Peony Pavilion...

"Uncle Jiang?"

When the two sides met, Qin Yao and Yang Chan stood up to greet them, with a look of surprise on their faces.

Jiang Ziya smiled and said, "Nephew, you didn't expect that we would meet here."

Qin Yao nodded slightly: "I really didn't expect...why did Master Uncle come to Chaoge?"

Jiang Ziya's smile faded a little, and he said, "I had a dream a few days ago. In my dream, there were evil spirits causing chaos in Songjia Village. It just so happened that the owner of Song Village was my brother.

So I burrowed my way here, and when I arrived today, I didn't expect that the evil spirit had already been subdued by my nephew.

It seems that fate has led me to meet my nephew!"

Qin Yao: "..."

Maybe, it is not.

Today’s Five Soul-Catching Envoys were originally supposed to be the Five Gods of the Conferred God Platform, responsible for transporting soil on Mount Xiqi and even supervising the construction of the Conferred God Platform.

However, you must never say such things to Jiang Ziya. Just keep it in your heart.

"What does Uncle Master mean?"

"I would like to ask my nephew for a favor."

Qin Yao's eyes flickered, and he said cautiously: "Uncle Master, please tell me. I will never refuse anything I can do."

Ok……

You'd better not tell me what I can't do!

Jiang Ziya understood the meaning of this, but he had to say: "I would like to ask my nephew to try to rescue Xibo Hou! With your strength, this should not be difficult, right?"

Qin Yao shook his head and said, "Of course it's not difficult to do this, the problem is that I can't do it."

Jiang Ziya was surprised and asked, "Why?"

Qin Yao said: "The time is not right. King Zhou is not yet so bad that the whole world will rebel. The Shang Dynasty still has the support of the people and hundreds of princes.

After I rescue Ji Chang, the entire Xiqi will be regarded as a treasonous country. King Zhou will then order the armies of other princes to attack Xiqi. How can Xiqi have peace?

Uncle Master, we have to wait. We can only do this when King Zhou loses the support of the people."

Jiang Ziya: "..."

Seeing the old man speechless and choking, Qin Yao changed the subject:

"However, since Master Uncle has spoken, I will pay more attention to Xibo Hou, to prevent him from being persecuted by King Zhou, and to ensure that he can wait for the right opportunity to leave safely."

Jiang Ziya had no way to refute and could only thank him.

At the same time, he was deeply aware of his own inadequacies, and said, "If that's the case, then I'm relieved. Nephew, I'm going to go to the Wei River to practice military tactics, and I'll go ahead."

For the past forty years, his learning focus has always been on the way of immortality, so much so that he was left speechless by what a young man said today.

Knowing shame and then becoming brave, he vowed to change this situation and focus on studying both civil and military strategies so that he could issue orders in the future!

"We'll give you a ride." Qin Yao said immediately.

Jiang Ziya waved his hand and said, "I will leave underground by myself. There is no need to see me off."

After saying this, he instantly disappeared into the earth and disappeared in the Peony Pavilion...

"Master Song, you have also seen that the cause and effect relationship between us brothers and sisters is getting bigger and bigger. We really can't stay in Songjiazhuang any longer, otherwise it might be bad for the manor." After watching him leave, Qin Yao said seriously: "Therefore, we have to leave today." Song Yiren pursed his lips, but he didn't dare to keep the guest like before, and said in a gentle voice: "Let's have dinner together before leaving..."

Qin Yao shook his head and said, "It's better to leave sooner rather than later. Goodbye."

"Goodbye~" Yang Chan said immediately.

Shortly after.

The brother and sister rushed from Songjiazhuang to Chaoge City and returned to the courtyard they had bought earlier.

After everything was packed up, it was already evening. Qin Yao walked out of the bedroom, and in the quiet and secluded courtyard, he took out the Ghost Sealing List and summoned the five soul-catching messengers.

In less than half an incense stick of time, the five soul-catching agents came into the courtyard one after another and stood in a row in front of Qin Yao, like soldiers being inspected by a general!

"In addition to monitoring the Shang Dynasty's court, I will give you five gods an additional task, which is to look after Xibo Hou Jichang.

If you find him in any danger, help him first, then inform me, and never let him be persecuted." Qin Yao ordered.

"Yes, Immortal."

The five gods bowed at the same time and accepted the order, then transformed into five-colored divine light and flew away from the courtyard in an instant.

"Brother, what should we do next?" After they left, Yang Chan walked out of her room and asked softly.

Qin Yao smiled slightly and said, "Wait! Wait until King Zhou becomes more and more stupid and takes the initiative to send us talents..."

The next day.

The Qingliu faction of the Shang Dynasty passed through nine large halls and then the palace towers and went straight to the Shouxian Palace, demanding to see the saint.

At that time, King Zhou was lying on Daji's legs and being fed with fruits. When he heard the report from the imperial officer, his thick brows immediately frowned and he felt displeased.

Daji raised her green jade fingers to smooth down King Zhou's angry brows, and said delicately, "Your Majesty, if you don't want to see me, you don't have to. Why worry about it?"

King Zhou shook his head and said, "Bigan is my uncle, an important official of the royal family, and even has the important responsibility of entrusting my son to me. I cannot but see him."

After that, he immediately said to the imperial officer: "Summon the important ministers to the court."

Seeing this, Daji's peach blossom eyes, which seemed to be filled with both joy and anger, narrowed slightly, hiding a murderous intent within.

In a blink of an eye, a group of upright officials, led by Shang Rong and Bigan, entered Shouxian Palace and tried their best to persuade King Zhou to reorganize his government and work diligently on government affairs.

King Zhou was too lazy to argue with them and just tried to be perfunctory. His lazy attitude made the Qingliu people's foreheads bulge with anger.

Bigan was about to denounce him immediately, but was stopped by Prime Minister Shang Rong.

Upon seeing this, Du Yuanxian, the Grand Tutor of Sitiantai, volunteered to lead the charge, outlined the pros and cons, and bluntly stated that Su Daji was a seductive woman, and he hoped to kill the evil spirit and clear the court of evildoers.

Daji was listening nearby at the moment. Upon hearing this, she immediately knelt down and cried, claiming that Du Yuanxun's remarks were nonsense and were misleading the people.

There were many King Zhou in the heavens, but the one in the palace was not wise and brave at all. When he saw Daji crying, his heart melted. He immediately ordered the execution of Du Yuanxian, and no officials could stop him.

Mei Bo, a senior official among the upright officials, was furious and cursed the tyrant. He also said that when a country is about to perish, evil will appear, which completely angered King Zhou.

King Zhou then ordered that Mei Bo be executed together with him. Unexpectedly, Daji had a brilliant idea and proposed a punishment called "pao lai", which pleased King Zhou very much. So the two upright ministers were imprisoned and waited for the execution by "pao lai".

As for the other nobles, they were driven out by King Zhou and were not allowed to see the emperor again...

This news quickly spread from the court, and Qin Yao also got the details from the five soul-catching envoys. He then hid himself, held the Ghost Sealing List, and entered the palace early. He waited at the Meridian Gate, ready to seal the ghosts and gods at any time!

Fortunately, King Zhou did not make him wait long. With the help of the extraordinary people kept in the palace, the copper pillar for blazing fire was built near dusk.

King Zhou brought Daji to watch the ceremony, where they saw the guards tie Mei Bo and Du Yuanxian to a red-hot copper pillar. In an instant, their skin was cooked and their flesh was rotten. The emperor and his concubine both looked pleased.

It is a pity that these two wise ministers, who were dedicated to the public, ended up like this and died in anger.

Afterwards, Daji pretended to be tired and returned to the palace with King Zhou. In fact, she separated out a soul and transformed into a white fox that was invisible to ordinary people. She quietly came to the Meridian Gate, wanting to absorb the righteous spirit and upright souls of the two wise ministers.

Unexpectedly, when the white fox just arrived at the Meridian Gate, she saw a man holding a green jade scroll, casting a spell to collect the souls of the two people, and then turned around to look at her.

The white fox only felt a huge momentum like an overwhelming tidal wave crushing it, and could not help but retreat repeatedly with a look of fear in its eyes.

Qin Yao put away the Ghost Sealing List with a flip of his hand, and his body instantly turned into golden light and disappeared into thin air.

Seeing his figure disappear in the shadow of the wall, the white fox exhaled lightly, and its tense body gradually relaxed. It turned around and jumped towards the direction of Shouxian Palace...

That night.

Under the bright moon.

In the Yang family courtyard.

Qin Yao held the Ghost Sealing List, which was emitting a glittering green light, in his palm, staring at the two heroic souls in front of him, and said in a concentrated voice:

"Mei Bo, a senior official of the Shang Dynasty, was upright and outspoken. He dared to speak out and make direct criticisms. He was upright and incorruptible. He was specially appointed as the head of the Punishment Department to judge the ghosts who had committed evil deeds in their lifetime and to sentence them with justice."

"Thank you, Immortal." Mei Bo was grateful and shed tears, paying homage with great respect.

Not only will he not have to suffer after death, but he can also become the head of a company. This is a great fortune for him, like pie in the sky.

Qin Yao said in a gentle voice: "Director Mei, there is no need to be polite. Please join the list."

Mei Bo slowly stood up, turned to Grand Tutor Du Yuanxuan and said, "Grand Tutor Du, I will go first."

Du Yuanxian smiled and said, "Congratulations, Doctor. No... Director Mei."

Mei Bo chuckled, delighted to be included in the list, and looked forward to taking up his duties in the future.

Qin Yao immediately looked at Du Yuanxuan and said in a gentle voice:

"Du Yuanxian, the Grand Master of the Astronomical Bureau of the Shang Dynasty, has always been loyal, dedicated, and fair. He is specially appointed as the Director of the Investigation Department to investigate the good, evil, and grievances of ghosts in their past lives, so that good deeds can be carried forward after the death of good people, evildoers can be punished as they should, and the wronged can be vindicated!"

Du Yuanxian smiled and said, "I like this new position!"

Qin Yao smiled and said, "Then please ask Director Du to be included in the list. After the deification is completed, he will go to the underworld to perform his duties."

Du Yuanxian thanked him again and again, then turned into light and entered the list, waiting for the future.

Qin Yao let out a long breath, put away the Ghost List, and said to himself: "King Zhou, work harder, my KPI depends on you!"

However, King Zhou had no intention of killing his ministers at this moment, because Queen Jiang had gone mad for some unknown reason and sent her household general Jiang Huan to assassinate the king.

If it weren't for Daji who risked her life to save him, he, the king, would probably have become a corpse now!

Out of respect for Queen Jiang's father, Jiang Huanchu, the Marquis of Dongbo and the leader of the 800 princes of the Shang Dynasty, King Zhou could tolerate Queen Jiang's arrogance and dominance over the harem, but he could not tolerate her wanting to kill him.

Therefore, King Zhou did not listen to Queen Jiang's explanation at all, and at the instigation of Daji, he punished her by gouging out her eyes and burning her with fire, eventually killing her unjustly in the West Palace.

When Crown Prince Yin Jiao heard that his mother had been unjustly killed, he picked up his three-foot-high spear and was determined to avenge his mother. Fortunately, he was stopped by Concubine Huang on his way to the palace, and did not appear before King Zhou.

At the same time, Qin Yao, who was hiding himself, arrived at the West Palace before him. Looking at the beautiful lonely soul guarding the corpse and shedding tears, he sighed slightly.

Only when you are in this vortex of killing, can you truly understand what it means - everything is determined by fate and no one has any control over it!
