I am a boss in the world of nine uncles

【Please select automatic reincarnation or machine-selected reincarnation.】The system responded immediately.

Qin Yao replied without hesitation, "Random selection still!"

The main reason is that after experiencing so many reincarnations, he really can't think of any "story" that is suitable for his current strength.

After all, given his status as a Great Immortal, he couldn't possibly go to the lowly immortal worlds like "The Earth God and Earth Goddess" or "Sunny Pigsy" to beg for alms, could he?

As for worlds like Harry Potter and Naruto, forget about them. Going there would be a complete sweep, and the rewards would definitely not be Primordial Purple Qi!
That's why being able to throw the most difficult choice to the system is actually a blessing in disguise for him...

[Random teleportation initiated—World locked—World locked as "Mazu".]

As Qin Yao looked at the characters flashing before his eyes, Liu Tao's image suddenly flashed through his mind.

The reason is simple: the image of Mazu is so iconic that whenever he thinks of this deity, he subconsciously associates her with his appearance...

So the question is, which character in "Mazu" will I inhabit?

Is it Yang Shengquan, who grew up with Lin Moniang, or Wu Zonglun, the nominal male lead, or perhaps the dragon prince Bi'an?

But one thing is for sure: it will never be the main villain Ya Zi in the show.

After all, in this drama, being an enemy of Lin Moniang is being an enemy of the Queen Mother's lineage, represented by the Barefoot Immortal, and the Buddhist lineage, represented by Guanyin. The system would only send him into Yazi's body if it wanted to harm him...

Just as he was thinking about the best candidate to parasitize, a line of characters flashed before his eyes again:

[The cycle begins~~]

In an instant, a white light descended, causing Qin Yao to be temporarily blinded. It seemed like only a few seconds had passed, yet it also felt like a long time had gone by. When his vision cleared again, he saw himself standing in the Golden Palace with twenty or thirty people. Not far in front of him, a human emperor dressed in imperial robes was sitting upright!

"As the saying goes, a thirty-year-old is old enough to be a scholar, and a fifty-year-old is young enough to be a Jinshi (a successful candidate in the highest imperial examinations). You all stood out from nearly 100,000 candidates, each one of you is an outstanding individual. In the future, when you enter officialdom, you must never forget your ten years of hard study and diligent learning. Do not ruin your bright future because of a momentary lapse in judgment." On the dragon throne, the emperor in his dragon robe spoke earnestly with a warm smile.

"We will heed Your Majesty's teachings!" the crowd shouted in unison.

The emperor nodded in satisfaction, then asked, "There is one more thing... Who among you is willing to be my imperial envoy and represent my Great Song Dynasty on a mission to foreign lands?"
I'm telling you in advance, this job is not easy, it can even be described as extremely dangerous.

However, just as danger brings rewards, and successful missions result in promotions with each round trip.

Upon hearing this, Qin Yao immediately understood.

If nothing unexpected happens, he has parasitized Wu Zonglun. According to the normal plot, Wu Zonglun should be taking on the task of being an envoy of the imperial court at this moment.

Thus, he was rescued by Lin Moniang on several occasions when he encountered danger at sea, which led to a series of entanglements...

However, he was unwilling to follow this predetermined path.

The reason is simple: it's too slow. By the time he appears beside Lin Moniang according to their destined encounter, it will probably be several years later.

What about the years in between?

Let him behave properly as an envoy to the Song Dynasty, and then intimidate the foreign countries.

"What? Is there no one willing to be this envoy?" On the dragon throne, seeing the silence among the scholars below, Emperor Taizong of Song's face immediately darkened.

"Your subject, Liu Caiyuan, is willing to serve as an envoy!"

Just as the atmosphere inside the hall became increasingly oppressive, a man who looked to be in his thirties with a dignified appearance stepped out and bowed deeply.

"it is good."

Emperor Taizong clapped his hands in praise and said, "Liu Caiyuan, I will remember you. You were brave enough to make the appointment, and I will certainly not let you down."

Liu Caiyuan said in a deep voice, "Thank you, Your Majesty..."

Emperor Taizong nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over the others: "You may all leave now, but Caiyuan, please stay. I have something to say."

"Your Majesty, I have something to report."

Just as the others agreed and left, Qin Yao suddenly went against the flow, looked up and said.

"Your name is Wu Zonglun, right? What brings you here?" Emperor Taizong of Song looked at the man with curiosity and asked in a deep voice.

"Your subject's name is Wu Zonglun."

Qin Yao nodded and said, "I wish to report to the Emperor that Wang Shiqi, the magistrate of Putian County, has abused his power for personal gain, accepted bribes, plundered the people's wealth, and even colluded with pirates."

"Do you have any evidence?" Emperor Taizong asked in a deep voice.

Qin Yao stared into the other's eyes and silently used the mind control technique from the Dark God's Book:
"I guarantee with my own life that if my words just now were even slightly false, I am willing to be torn apart by five horses, or even be executed by slow slicing."

In the drama, Wang Shiqi initially appears to be a good official. In order to fight the sea monster, he personally presides over the ritual and does not say anything even when he is retaliated against by the sea monster afterward.

In reality, however, he was a corrupt official who colluded with pirates, committed many unjust acts, and was eventually brought to justice.

"If that's the case, then I hereby appoint you as Imperial Commissioner, without rank or official position, to investigate Wang Shiqi's abuse of power and corruption. If you find any conclusive evidence, present it to the capital immediately, and I will punish him severely," Emperor Taizong said thoughtfully.

Qin Yao said, "It's fine that the imperial envoy has no rank or title, but if I don't have a chance to get close to him, I'm afraid this case will take a long time to investigate."

Therefore, I humbly request Your Majesty to grant me the position of Assistant Magistrate of Putian County, so that I may use this opportunity to contact Wang Shiqi.

Upon hearing this, Liu Caiyuan, who was standing to the side, was immediately dumbfounded.

Is this student really that audacious to be on the same list as everyone else? To file a complaint before the emperor without any solid evidence is already outrageous, and to actually want the position of county magistrate after being granted the power to investigate?

Is it so easy to be an official?
Is the emperor so easy to talk to?

But what surprised him even more was that the emperor seemed genuinely easy to talk to. After a moment's thought, he said:
“What you say makes sense. So let’s do it this way. We’ll give you three years. If you fail to find conclusive evidence within three years, then I will punish you.”

Liu Caiyuan: "..."

Qin Yao smiled slightly and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Ten days later.

The county government office in Putian County, Quanzhou.

A tall, dark-skinned, fierce-looking man in brocade robes strode into the back office, shouting in a booming voice, "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law..."

"How many times have I told you? In government offices, you have to address people by their official titles."

Shortly after, amidst his loud shouts, a man with a round face and a long beard, wearing a bronze crown and a green robe, stepped out of the door and said solemnly.

"Your Excellency, I heard that the imperial court has appointed another county magistrate who will be coming to Putian to take up his post soon?" The burly man took a deep breath and asked, suppressing his frustration.

The county's old magistrate is retiring in a few months, and his position has already been promised to him by his brother-in-law. He is eagerly waiting for the day he can take office.

Unexpectedly, he received word today that the imperial court had directly appointed the assistant magistrate of Putian County. He was so angry that he overturned the table and rushed to the county government office without stopping.

Wang Shiqi nodded slightly and said, "Exactly! Who would have thought that the newly appointed scholar would not be so focused on staying in the capital, but instead would take the initiative to return to his hometown to become a minor official?"

But there's nothing I can do; they came from among 100,000 test-takers. Even with my connection, you can't compare in the slightest.

The burly man clenched his fists silently, his eyes flashing with a fierce light: "Brother-in-law, what if that fellow dies on the way?"

Wang Shiqi was startled by his words and actions, and hurriedly said, "Don't be reckless! Intercepting and killing an official of the imperial court is a capital offense that will result in the confiscation of your property!"

The burly man chuckled sheepishly: "Of course I wouldn't intercept and kill an official appointed by the imperial court. I mean, what if...?"

Wang Shiqi said sternly, "Don't even think about it! You better behave yourself. Once he takes office, I'll find a way to force him out. That's the only foolproof plan..."

"Pooh."

A short while later, after leaving the county government office, the burly man spat directly at the gate and said coldly, "What perfect plan? It's just an excuse to fool me. If that person isn't someone to be trifled with, I'll definitely have to suffer even more in the future!"

Having said that, he had already made up his mind and quickly walked towards a carriage parked by the roadside.

"Giddy up!" On the official road, a coachman gently slapped the yellow-maned horse with his whip, and the horse's hooves flew as it moved forward quickly.

Inside the carriage, Qin Yao sat cross-legged, silently tempering his body in order to adapt to the power of the divine soul, and at the very least, to ensure that it would not collapse due to the operation of the divine power.

Before they knew it, the sky was gradually darkening. The coachman slowly slowed down the carriage and turned to say, "Honored guest, it's getting late. Would you like to continue on your way, or find an inn nearby?"

Qin Yao asked, "How much further?"

"I reckon it will take at least three hours," the driver replied.

"Then let's find an inn and set off into the city early tomorrow morning," Qin Yao said thoughtfully.

The driver nodded and immediately looked around, searching for light in the darkness.

Half an hour later.

Night had fallen, and the sky was dark.

The coachman stopped the carriage in front of an inn and said softly, "Please go and stay somewhere else, I'll make do in this carriage for the night."

Qin Yao waved his hand and said, "Let's go together. I'll pay. Let's eat something first and then get a good night's sleep."

"You are such a kind person," the driver said sincerely.

Not long after.

Inside the inn.

Qin Yao sat facing the coachman, drinking and eating meat, quite content. However, in the darkness, a group of black-clad swordsmen quietly arrived and lurked outside the shop.

"This liquor is really strong." At the table, the driver was drinking when his vision suddenly went blurry, and then he collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Qin Yao's expression remained unchanged as he ate meat and drank wine, but a strange smile inadvertently appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Boss lady, is there too little medicine?" At the top of the stairs, a simply dressed waiter wearing a round hat asked in a low voice.

A plump, flamboyant middle-aged woman shook her head: "Quite a few. Look, even the coachman fainted."

"This guy's a bit weird!" the waiter muttered.

half an hour.

Qin Yao slowly stood up, picked up the coachman with one hand, and sent him back to his room. Then he strode into the next room and waited quietly for the group of black-clad swordsmen to appear.

Before long, instead of the swordsmen breaking down the door, he saw a bamboo tube pierce the window paper, blowing in wisps of white smoke.

"Click."

Outside the door, a man in black was blowing sleeping powder when he suddenly saw the wooden door in front of him being opened from the inside. He was so frightened that he fell to the ground.

Qin Yao raised his hand and waved, and one after another, the Seven Emotions Runes suddenly appeared, rushing towards the group of people crowded in the corridor...

The next day.

The Wang residence.

Wang Shiqi yawned and got up, letting his beautiful concubine dress him, when he heard someone shouting outside the door, "Master, Master, something has happened."

"fart."

Wang Shiqi was furious: "I'm perfectly fine, what happened?"

The voice said, "Something happened at the Cai residence. Cai Yong was hacked to pieces by a group of black-clad thugs, and the leader of the black-clad men was actually his own bodyguard."

Wang Shiqi's angry expression froze, and his beautiful concubine beside him turned pale and cried out in alarm.

"Master, you must avenge Ah Yong!"

A moment later, the beautiful concubine suddenly knelt down and kowtowed heavily.

Wang Shiqi took a deep breath, trying to calm his turbulent emotions, and asked in a low voice, "Where is the murderer now?"

The man outside the door said, "They're all dead, including the leader of the guards."

"Who did this?" Wang Shiqi pressed.

"They all committed suicide."

Wang Shiqi's eye twitched.

Looking across the entire Putian County, there is simply no one else with such power.

If that's the case, then the only possibility, however outrageous it may seem, will be the truth!
Cai Yong died at the hands of the new county magistrate!

"My lord, it was only the assassin who died. You must find the mastermind behind this!" The concubine suddenly grabbed Wang Shiqi's trouser leg and pleaded desperately.

Wang Shiqi suddenly broke free from her grasp and said, "I'm going to the yamen right now..."

Putian County, inside the yamen (government office).

Qin Yao stood quietly in front of the courtroom, glanced at the sky where the sun was high in the sky, and turned to ask, "It's already this late, isn't the magistrate here yet?"

Below the steps, the scribes and yamen runners looked at each other, none daring to answer.

Qin Yao didn't want to make things difficult for them, so he said instead, "Since the magistrate isn't here, I'll go to the county to inspect things first, and then come back to find him to take up his post."

"Yes, my lord."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and then courteously escorted him to the door.

The so-called county magistrate's assistant was a subordinate official in the county government, second only to the county magistrate. For these clerks, he was their immediate superior, and no one dared to offend him...

After half a stick of incense.

A sedan chair slowly arrived outside the county government office. Wang Shiqi lifted the curtain and stepped out of the sedan chair, going straight into the door. The county clerk caught sight of him and hurriedly came forward, bowing and saying, "Your Excellency, Magistrate."

"Has the new county magistrate arrived yet?"

"We arrived, but then we left again."

Wang Shiqi paused in his steps: "Gone?"

The registrar nodded and said, "He said he was going to inspect the county and would come to see you later."

Wang Shiqi: "..."

How could they be so arrogant?

He is now increasingly certain that Cai Yong was harmed by the other party!

half an hour.

Putian County, Meizhou Island.

Qin Yao stood before a fishing village, gazing at the lingering aura of immortal energy emanating from one of the houses. A smile played on his lips as he walked straight towards it. Soon, he saw a girl blocking the path of two men, and at the same time, a dazzling system rune flashed before his eyes:

[System Task: Assist Lin Moniang in establishing the Water Palace Immortal Class.]

[Mission Details: The Barefoot Immortal of the Celestial Realm, taking pity on the fishermen, petitioned the Jade Emperor to appoint a new Sea God to oversee all matters related to maritime rescue.]
