Husband and wife both hook their souls

It turned out that after the palace examination, Zhong Kui really got a first-class title, not only that, but because of his excellent writing, he was personally summoned by the Emperor Hu.

Zhong Kui raised his eyebrows and was overjoyed, Xinxin followed the palace servants to the Zhengyang Hall of the Imperial Palace.After three kneelings and nine kowtows, Zhong Kui raised his head and saw the Emperor Yichao, and the Emperor Hu was also looking at him curiously.

Looking at each other, the emperor frowned, and Zhong Kui felt bad.

He was born with a rough appearance, and he was used to being laughed at since he was a child. Zhong Kui thought that the emperor was not an ordinary person, and he must be hired based on his merits. Unexpectedly, a few officials jumped out of the side to judge people based on their appearance. Both internally and externally, there is no shortage of this talent for hundreds of candidates.

The emperor, who was extremely disappointed with Zhong Kui's appearance, originally planned to stage a good story about personally approving the number one scholar, but under great disappointment, he listened to the villain's slander for a moment and erased Zhong Kui's reputation on the spot.

A scholar can be killed but not humiliated, Zhong Kui is nothing if he loses his fame, but how can he swallow such a shameful humiliation, so Zhong Kui defied his orders, cursed the injustice of the court, and then smashed his head against the dragon pillar of the Zhengyang Hall.

"Ah!" Du Ping took a step back in surprise, no wonder in the imperial city, everyone avoided talking about it, and the court sage who all the students wanted to serve was so vulgar.

"Hahaha..." Zhong Kui suddenly laughed and said, "Even if he is a ghost, Zhong Kui will never let those treacherous villains go. If they stand in the way of Hu Guo's court, they will definitely harm the country and the people! So... I want Kill them all without leaving behind!"

"Kill...kill all?" Du Ping was shocked again, no wonder it was rumored that several senior officials in the capital had died one after another in recent days, it turned out to be Zhong Kui's revenge.

"That's right, after killing those dog officials and angrily rebuking His Majesty, His Majesty promised to restore my title of No. [-] Scholar, to be reburied with the title of No. [-] Scholar, and to match my little sister with a prince, so Zhong Kui is willing to let it go!"

Zhong Kui's figure moved, no matter how brilliant the result of the compensation was, it would not be as good as his life, and no matter how well married the little sister was, she would not be as good as her brother staying with her in the world.Zhong Kui was always worried about his younger sister Zhong Meiying, so he came to entrust Du Ping with her dream.

"Zhengnan has something to ask, I hope Brother Du Xian can help take care of the younger sister to get married smoothly."

Du Ping frowned thoughtfully, he should take care of him, but Du Ping had never met Zhong Kui's younger sister Zhong Meiying, so it seemed inappropriate to go hastily, but he couldn't bear to push back.

Zhong Kui seemed to see Du Ping's hesitation, and sighed: "Zhong Kui is deeply grateful for the funeral of my virtuous brother, and I can't repay him. After my younger sister gets married, all the land in the family will belong to my virtuous brother..."

"Brother, that's not what Du Ping meant!" Du Ping hurriedly explained after hearing Zhong Kui's outrageous words, "I'm just worried, my little sister...whether she will believe me."

Zhong Kui sighed softly, and said: "Brother, show her the birth knot, and she will believe you."

Only then did Du Ping remember the birth knot he found from Zhong Kui's corpse, and hurriedly touched it in his sleeve pocket, but the birth knot was gone.

Du Ping groped around in his arms and waist again, but he couldn't find anything. He woke up from the dream in a panic, opened his eyes suddenly, and saw the cross-generation knot hanging in front of his eyes.

Du Ping's father stared curiously at the thing he was carrying in his hand. It looked like something tied up by a woman. Could it be that his son had an affair when he went to the capital to rush for the exam? Why did he have such an extra thing on his body?A token of love?Ancestral keepsake?It seems that the condition of this woman's family is not very good, otherwise she would not have taken a red rope knot as collateral...

"Give it back to me!" Du Ping snatched the Xiangsheng Knot from his father's hand and stuffed it under the pillow.

Father Du's eyes widened in anger at Du Ping's actions, isn't he just a broken knot, what did I never give you since childhood?He actually learned to rob things with Lao Tzu!Father Du was about to open his mouth to scold, but suddenly realized something, and smiled happily, "Pingping, you're good!"

Du Ping touched his forehead with his hand, and rolled his eyes. After Yi Mengyi brother Zhong Kui, Du Ping's stagnation symptoms miraculously recovered. Could it be that Zhong Kui's ghost helped him get rid of the disease?

"Pingping, which lady do you have a crush on? I will prepare a dowry for you as a father!"

Father Du was overjoyed to see that Du Ping had really recovered. He had already turned the anger that Du Ping had just snatched away the marriage into excitement. His son was willing to marry a wife.

Du Ping gave his father a blank look, and replied without a doubt: "No!"

Du's father asked puzzledly: "Huh? That knot just now was..."

Du Ping said: "It's a personal belonging of a classmate I met on the road..."

"Oh! It's terrible, Pingping! As a father, you are the only one, so you should never marry a man back!"

Du's father screamed again and again, and Du Ping lay back on the bed with a loud bang, and replied angrily, "Father! Don't let your imagination run wild!"

Du Ping will meet Zhong Kui at Juesheng Temple, go to Beijing to take the exam together and suffer a tragic parting of life and death, and tell Father Du carefully about Zhong Kui's dream and him just now.After Du's father heard it, he let out three long breaths of anger, and shouted: "Father is so angry! Just say that the tortoise king and eight emperors and monks are not good things..."

Du Ping jumped up in shock and covered his father's mouth, and said anxiously: "Father! Keep your voice down, let someone spread the word, and sue you for insulting the court, but you will be exterminated!"

"Oh oh..." Du's father was also aware of his gaffe, and he was usually serious, and for some reason, as long as he was in front of his son, Du's father couldn't control his frequent gaffes. After some adjustments, Du's father asked in a low voice : "So, that brother of yours entrusted his little sister to you?"

"Hmm!" Du Ping's expression was tinged with sadness, the poor Zhong family, I'm afraid there is only Miss Zhong left.

"Pingping, bring some more money to see Miss Zhong tomorrow. If you can't do it, you can take her to live with us, recognize her as a goddaughter for your father, give her a generous dowry, and let her be beautiful!" Du's father was steadfast. said.

Du Ping looked at his father with blank eyes, and replied helplessly: "Father, you can't count the number of goddaughters you recognize, and you are not afraid that the day they get married will be the day you go bankrupt?"

Father Du blinked, and timidly replied: "Ah... so... that's what you said, then... you can figure it out!"

……

Since Black and White Impermanence was promoted to the position of Ghost Lord, his status among the ghost officials is second only to the King of Hades.When he was a ghost envoy, even the door god Tu Yulei dared to stop him, but now that he is a ghost king, the imperial palace has nothing to stop him.

However, after searching all the three palaces and six courtyards in Hu country, including the lonely tomb in the wilderness in the outskirts, Zhong Kui's soul was still not found.

Xie Yi frowned lightly, still unwilling to reconcile, he was flying around in the imperial city looking for it.Fan Hao followed closely beside Xie Yi, silently accompanying him.

Xie Yi thought for a moment, then asked aloud: "Wu Amnesty, where do you think Zhong Kui can go?"

Fan Hao replied casually: "It must be because he had a real unfulfilled wish during his lifetime, or maybe he wanted to be a lonely ghost."

Xie Yi was surprised and said: "Didn't it mean that he crashed to death in the Zhengyang Palace, why does this palace seem to be preparing for a happy event? Aren't you afraid of colliding with evil spirits?"

Fan Hao glanced around, nodded and said: "It's indeed a bit strange, no matter how small this Hu country is, the Ministry of Rites will not understand these taboos, besides, the death of Lu Qixin, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, and Zhong Kui's death are only seven days old, and it is true that he wants to arrange a wedding. It's kind of weird..."

Before he finished speaking, Xie Yi suddenly turned around and landed on the palace wall, squinting his eyes and staring at the dark corner of the palace wall corridor, a black shadow suddenly appeared, and hurriedly walked forward.

In the imperial palace in the middle of the night, this person managed to avoid the patrol of the guards and ran to the corner gate of the imperial palace.

Xie Yi didn't want to be a chivalrous man, it's just that this person's weird behavior made him suspicious. He looked like an eunuch, what did he want to do when he came out in the middle of the night?

Fan Hao also landed on the side, and followed Xie Yi's gaze to lock on the sneaky eunuch, only to see that man quietly opened the corner door, poked his head out and meowed a few times in a strange manner.After a while, another black figure appeared on the street outside the wall.

Seeing this scene, Xie Yi and Fan Hao thought they were secretly meeting without anyone noticing, only to hear the dark figure outside the wall ask in a low voice: "Xiao Mu, why did you call me so urgently?"

The eunuch called Xiaomu replied in a low voice: "Uncle Liu, in a few days, Xiaomu will replace the fifth prince to welcome the princess. Please tell my parents that Xiaomu may not be able to go back to see them in the future."

Uncle Liu was shocked and said: "Ah? Didn't you say that His Highness the Fifth Prince is about to die of illness? What's going on here?"

Xiaomu whispered: "Uncle Liu, don't ask any more!" Then, Xiaomu stuffed a bag of things in his arms to Uncle Liu, and said: "This is some of the savings that Xiaomu has accumulated during these years in the palace. Please pass it on to my parents, just say that in case Xiaomu never has a chance to leave the palace again, please use the money to buy a servant to serve him to the end!"

Uncle Liu wanted to ask more questions, but was pushed far away by Xiao Mu, choked with sobs and sobbed: "Go, if someone finds out, you will die!"

The corner door closed quietly, and the meeting ended.The eunuch named Xiaomu quietly got into the shadow at the end of the corridor along the same path.

Xie Yi turned his head to look at Fan Hao, Fan Hao smiled and said: "In this royal palace, there are many plots and palace fights, it's not something you or I should care about."

Xie Yi remained silent, but turned and fell from the palace wall, and flew into the depths of the palace following Xiaomu's figure.Fan Hao was surprised why he was interested in this imperial palace fight today, but he didn't ask much, and just followed him.

In the backyard of the deep royal palace with corrugated tiles and cornices, Xiao Mu sneaked into a secluded palace.
