The system forced me to be emperor

Why didn't I do anything and just suffer injustice like this?

Sunrise East.

Xiao Rui yawned and came out of the room, just in time to bump into Guo Jia.

Seeing his expression of not sleeping well, Guo Jia raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "My lord doesn't seem to be resting, he's exhausted."

Xiao Rui glared at him, Fengxiao, Fengxiao, you are also such a person, and you have learned badly.Although I am exhausted, I am not exhausted. You don't know how hard it is to appease a soft-tempered woman.

Xiao Rui spent a lot of effort to appease Jin Yun'er and eliminate the misunderstanding and panic.Unexpectedly, Jin Yun'er, who was emotionally stable, tilted her head, and the little witch ran out again, then looked at Xiao Rui who was sitting by the bed, and cursed: "You really are a beast!"

Tell me, who should Xiao Rui talk to!

"Feng Xiao, hurry up and find a way to get the little witch away." Xiao Rui ordered to die.

Guo Jia didn't continue joking, but said: "How about giving her some medicine, and then we just get rid of her?"

"Okay!" Xiao Rui didn't want to suffer, so he agreed immediately. As for the life and death of the Jin family, uh...it's none of his business, I wish them the best of luck.

When eating breakfast, the little witch looked at Xiao Rui with disgust in her eyes, Xiao Rui endured the humiliation and endured the breakfast time, watching the little witch drink the white porridge with Mongolian sweat medicine.

Soon, the little witch fell into a coma and was sent to the guest room. Xiao Rui and the others left Wuyi County in a hurry.

Originally considering going to Jinyun County in the southeast, but to prevent being chased by the little witch, the four of them immediately changed direction and went to Songyang County in the southwest.

In Songyang County, there are towering mountains and densely covered rivers. Where there are mountains and water, the environment is bound to be beautiful, but at the same time, the mountains and waterways also affect traffic.

The four of Xiao Rui entered Songyang County. Compared with the bustling Hangzhou government and the national capital, life in the small county surrounded by mountains and rivers was simple and simple. But when they first arrived here, the four of them found something strange.

There are very few people on the streets of the county town, and even if there are people, they walk in a hurry with fear on their faces.When they saw that Xiao Rui and the others were dressed as strangers, their faces were even more panicked, and they all avoided and stayed away.

How can this look like a simple and small county town?

In addition, the four of them wanted to find an inn to stay in, but the inns closed one after another, and they would not open the door even if they knocked.

"Strange, did everyone in this county see a ghost?" Li Yuanfang wondered, then got off his horse and grabbed a commoner to ask.

The commoner was so frightened that he kept begging and wanted to leave, but Guo Jia finally asked him to spit out a piece of silver.

"Four guests, you should leave Songyang County. It is haunted by ghosts and is not safe. Many people have died. The county magistrate has seen ghosts with his own eyes. They are here to claim their lives. You should leave quickly." Fear said.

Li Yuanfang was overjoyed, and said, "I've really seen a ghost."

After letting this person go, the four of them were discussing where to go next, when a notification sound suddenly sounded in Xiao Rui's mind.

"Ding dong... New missions are open."

Xiao Rui checked it quickly, and saw that the tasks were as follows:

“新增任务：鬼？男鬼还是女鬼？亦或是死鬼？请为松阳县的百姓消除恐慌。任务完成，降临值+30。当前降临值10/100，心愿值4/4。”

really!As Xiao Rui guessed, once he patrols the state capital and encounters something, the system will give him a task.This is like leveling up to fight monsters. After visiting the state capital this time, how many times will it come?

"Let's go to the county government office! Now that you're here, let's take a good look at what the hell is going on!" Xiao Rui said.

The other three naturally had no objection, and the four immediately went to the county government office.

Chapter 299: Killing people in the secret room, flying corpses...

When the four of Xiao Rui came to the Songyang County Office, they saw that the front of the county office was deserted, without even a guard, and the county office looked very poor, with mottled gates, cracked ground, and even the "Songyang" hanging on the ground. Cracks appeared on the plaque of "Yangxian Yamen".

Songyang County is not an upper county, but it is also more prosperous than the poorer lower county. The county government is the face of the entire county, so it shows that the county magistrate is too incompetent.

Li Yuanfang stepped forward to knock on the door, bang bang... for a while, but no one responded. It is still broad daylight, and it is not a vacation, where is the county magistrate?What about the yamen servant?Are they all dead?

"Drumming!" Xiao Rui was a little angry.

Li Yuanfang immediately beat the drum to complain, boom, boom... the drums sounded quickly, and finally someone was called.

A yamen servant opened the door and was about to curse. Li Yuanfang had already taken out the official seal of the supervisory censor, and shouted to him: "My lord is the supervisory censor from Kyoto. He was ordered to inspect the state capital in Hangzhou. Your county magistrate What about my lord?"

The yamen servant was swearing, stopped him quickly, and said respectfully: "My lord, the county magistrate, he... he rested in the back house, he was busy all night last night, so..."

Xiao Rui stepped forward and asked, "Is it Xiumu today?"

"My lord, it's not..." the yamen servant replied tremblingly.

Xiao Rui didn't want to embarrass him, so he said: "Go pass it on."

"Yes, yes!" The yamen servant hurriedly ran into the county yamen, and after a while, a middle-aged county magistrate with a big belly ran out.

Don't look at the dilapidated county government, but this Songyang county magistrate eats very well.He saw at a glance that Xiao Rui's clothes and manners were not vulgar, and that he was from a high-ranking person, so he quickly respectfully said: "My lord, Wu Biao, the county magistrate of Songyang County, pays homage to my lord! My lord's presence here will make Songyang County flourish and return Please enter the Yamen to rest!"

Xiao Rui snorted coldly and said: "Lord Wu, I was ordered to monitor Hangzhou. When I first arrived in Songyang County, I saw that Guixian County was in chaos, and the people were in a hurry. Your government office is also poorly managed. And during business hours, Master Wu is still resting in the back house, it seems that Master Wu is living a very nourishing life."

Wu Biao hastily wiped the sweat from his brow. He never expected that the censor would come at this juncture. If he didn't handle it well this time, he would definitely be inferior in the official assessment this year, and he might be demoted.

"My lord, during this period of time, there have been shocking changes in Songyang County. Last night, I took the police to catch the ghosts. I didn't return to the county office until early in the morning. So I was sleepy and tired. I couldn't help it, so I took a rest. Yes." Wu Biao explained: "My lord, please be careful and forgive me this time."

"Catch ghosts?" Xiao Rui was taken aback for a moment, feeling more and more interesting.

Xiao Rui continued to ask: "Ghost hunting? Nonsense! Master Wu is a scholar, and he doesn't talk about strange powers. How can there be ghosts in this world? Even you are like this. No wonder the people are more panicked!"

Wu Biao hastily wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and said in panic, "My lord, it's not that I believe it, but the situation forces me to believe it. To tell you the truth, in less than a month, three incidents occurred in Songyang County. homicides, and none of them were committed by living people."

Xiao Rui and Guo Jia looked at each other, feeling even more interesting, it seemed that they had encountered a strange case.

"My lord, please enter the government office to rest in peace. I will tell you the truth about my good deeds." Wu Biao saw the curiosity in Xiao Rui's eyes, and quickly invited him in.

Xiao Rui nodded, followed him into the mansion, came to a hall and sat down, Wu Biao ordered someone to serve tea, and then said: "My lord, I was negligent, forgot to ask your name?"

"My official, Fahai." Xiao Rui continued to use an alias: "Talk about the three murders, how come they were not committed by living people?"

Wu Biao hastened to tell: "My lord, more than 20 days ago, a man died in Yao's house in the east of the county. The deceased was the master of the Yao family. He died tragically in his study. His head was chopped off and disappeared. , and the windows and doors of the study room that died tragically were all burned from the inside, and there were no signs of damage. In addition, there were no tunnels or darkrooms in the study room, and no place for Tibetans was found in the room search. It is a rare death in a secret room. The case has no clues to follow."

After finishing speaking, Wu Biao swallowed, and the scene of that day still appeared in his mind.

Master Yao was sitting by the desk, his body was already stiff, his head was missing from his neck, blood sprayed all over the wall and desk, his death was tragic.

Xiao Rui motioned him to continue.

Wu Biao added: "After the first murder case, on the seventh night, Master Yao's body broke open the coffin and flew out, then ran to the Mingwen Shushu in the west of the city, and tore off the hands of Master Song, the master of the Shushu. After that, the headless corpse flew away under the watchful eyes of many people. Afterwards, the official sent someone to check the coffin, and found that there were scratches inside the coffin, which seemed to be caused by Mr. Yao's fraudulent scratching. Although the lower official did not personally witness the headless corpse flying up, there were five witnesses, all of whom were students of the Shushu School, and they came from innocent backgrounds and would not lie."

"Flying corpse?" Xiao Rui was a little surprised. If it is normal to say that killing people in a secret room is normal, then this flying corpse is a bit nonsense.

"What about the third death?" Xiao Rui asked again.

Wu Biao sighed, and said: "On the seventh day after Mr. Song's death, the body of the missing Master Yao appeared. This time, it was the shopkeeper Sun of the pharmacy in the south of the city who died tragically. A flame burst out, and under the watchful eyes of Mrs. Shopkeeper Sun, the two were burned to death. With the occurrence of these three murders, everyone in Songyang County was in danger and shrouded in fear. Go out to take refuge for the time being, and those who have not escaped are also hiding at home."
