Rebirth of the first courtier

As the magistrate of Jiangnan Prefecture, Wang Lu has always lived a very happy life.But since the corruption case a few days ago, he has been worried about how long he can live.

Wang Lu is not a cowardly person, otherwise he would not have done so many things with all his heart, and used this as a bargaining chip to join King Beixian.Thinking of King Beixian's reply a few days ago, Wang Lu's eyes were full of gloom.

It's not that he can't see King Beixian's plan, or he just wants to push him out to be a scapegoat.Wang Lu took out an iron box from the secret door behind the bookshelf, and took out an unnamed account book from the iron box, which was the target of Xiao Qiao and Hu Li.

Wang Lu put away the account book and opened the door of the study.

"My lord, do you want to go back to rest?" The servant at the door lowered his eyebrows and asked respectfully, holding a lantern.

"Well, come back."

Xiao Qi'ao and Hu Li squatted on the roof of the study room in the magistrate's mansion, watching Wang Lu who left and the servants beside him walking on the path in the garden one after the other.

"Brother Xiao, let's go, let's follow and have a look." Hu Li excitedly pointed in the direction of Wang Lu. Wang Lu usually had to go through the garden from the study in the front yard to the main house in the back yard.

During the day, the garden is exquisitely and beautifully built by the gardeners, but at night it is vaguely gloomy.In particular, there was a lantern hanging on the four corners of the garden, and a little bit of light hit it, and the beautiful scene in the garden in the daytime suddenly seemed like a group of demons dancing wildly.

Xiao Qi'ao and Hu Li tapped their toes and quickly approached the garden.

"Brother Xiao, stand here and watch, I'll scare him." Hu Li and Xiao Qi'ao stopped on the roof not far from the garden. Comparable, he nodded, "Be careful."

"It's nothing, just look at me." Hu Li chuckled, waved his hands, let Xiao Qi'ao wait on the roof, and glided to a corner of the garden like a big bird.

Hu Li put on the hood on the cloak, slightly mobilized his spiritual power, and floated and swayed among the flowers in the garden, making rustling sounds from the shadows of the flowers and trees.

"Who?!" The boy took a lantern to look at the place where the sound came from, but he didn't see anything.

Wang Lu frowned. Which ignorant servant wandered around the garden at night, "Since when did the mansion become so unruly? What are you doing sneaking around in the garden at night?"

Hu Li stood behind a tree, bared his teeth, and began to move slowly with his back turned to Wang Lu. At the same time, he used the method of sound transmission to make his voice intentionally ethereal but with a gloomy feeling. Wang Lu said.

"Sister-husband-sister-husband-"

Wang Lu's eyes widened immediately, and he looked in Hu Li's direction as if he had sensed something, only to see a black shadow drifting past.The black figure looked back slightly at last, with a gloomy smile on his face.

"what--"

Wang Lu was so frightened that his spine shivered, and he blurted out an exclamation.The servant next to him was so frightened that he hurried over with a lantern, "My lord, my lord, what's wrong with you?"

Wang Lu stared straight, the sweat on his forehead and the tip of his nose was pouring out layer by layer, and he was shocked when he heard the boy's voice, "Quickly, go to that tree and see who is playing tricks there !"

"Yes, yes." The boy hurried over with the lantern, but there was nothing.The boy glanced at the ground, the gardener had just watered it today, the ground was still a bit wet, if there were people, there should be footprints on the ground, but there was nothing.

"My lord, there is no one." The servant walked back quickly, "There are no traces, my lord."

Wang Lu shivered instantly, the cold sweat from his body was blown by the night wind, and his whole body was chilled, "Forget it, let's go back." After holding on to speak, Wang Lu hurried to the main house.

Hu Li, who had already returned to the roof, smiled triumphantly, and leaned into Xiao Qi'ao's ear and whispered: "Brother Xiao, look how frightened he is. I let him see me at the end, heh hey-hey……"

Hearing Hu Li's chuckle, Xiao Qi'ao smiled helplessly, "Well done."

Hu Li smiled even more happily, "Let's go, let's continue to follow him, and scare him later. I see that he is quite timid, and he must have done a lot of bad things..."

Xiao Qi'ao originally wanted to find the ledger, but after Hu Li made such a fuss, he finally indulged Hu Li and went to Wang Lu's place.

Hu Li lay on the roof, looking at Wang Lu who was pale with fright in the room, eager to go down again.

Xiao Qi'ao grabbed him helplessly, and said in a low voice, "Wait, remember to put out the candle first when you go in later."

"I know, brother Xiao, you come too."

Xiao Qiao let Hu Li drag him to jump off the roof, seeing Hu Li having fun, he could only indulge him helplessly.In his previous life and in this whole life, he had never been lying on the roof pretending to be a ghost to scare people, and being with Hu Li really meant to experience a lot of things that he didn't have in his previous life.

Wang Lu had lingering fears about what happened in the garden tonight. He was absolutely right, that figure was his wife's younger brother.But he was killed by himself a few years ago, how could he appear in the garden!

Is it...?

No, no, it's all about scaring yourself, how can the dead come out again?Could it be possible to become a ghost?Heh—heh—heh—it’s all because of scaring myself.

However, Wang Lu was completely stunned by the sudden voice. He looked at the window tremblingly, and a figure was standing there in the air looking at him.

"Sister-husband-"

"Ah - you, you are Xiao Ran? Why do you..." Wang Lu stepped back several steps, the cold sweat on his body almost soaked his clothes.

Hu Li shook his wide sleeves, and the aura blew through with a gust of cool wind, extinguishing all the candles in the room.Hu Li floated in through the window, looking down at Wang Lu who was paralyzed on the ground in fright.

Xiao Qi'ao who was standing outside the window almost burst out laughing, he didn't expect Hu Li to be quite talented in playing tricks, just look at the seemingly indistinct voice and the cool wind that was deliberately fanned just now.Even if it was him, if he didn't know it, he might be shocked.

Xiao Qi'ao stood at the window in black and looked at the situation in the room. Hu Li had already floated obliquely in front of Wang Lu, looking at him darkly, "Brother-in-law, you should pay for your life. The days of the underworld, wait Come and enjoy!"

Wang Lu collapsed on the ground, cold sweat ran across his eyes, making his eyes sore that he couldn't see the person in front of him clearly.But he still remembers his wife and brother's cool eyes, now nothing but blood is hatred.

"Xiao...Xiao Ran, I can't blame me for what happened back then, but...but now I have regretted it, really...I really regretted it!" Wang Lu eagerly defended, thinking of the letter from King Beixian a few days ago, My heart was as heavy as if I had been buried with a ten thousand catty boulder.Wang Lu suddenly gave up, and his voice was full of depression, "Xiao Ran, brother-in-law, I won't live long, and King Beixian has already decided to abandon his pawn to save the car."

Hu Li rolled his eyes, obviously very happy in his heart, but still looked sullenly at Wang Lu who obviously seemed to give up resistance, "Brother-in-law, I'll wait for you below—"

Wang Lu trembled, and looked up at Hu Li, who quickly moved his face into the shadows, "Xiao Ran, I'll bring the whole family to accompany you in a short time. I lost your sister, she missed you all these years, you..."

"You still have the face to talk about my sister!" Hu Li flung his long sleeves violently, and the tea cups and candlesticks on the table fell to the ground, "You don't want to take my sister with you... Strangle you……"

Wang Lu quickly raised his hand to block Hu Li's approaching hand, and shouted loudly: "Xiao Ran, wait a minute. Since you have become a ghost, try to help me, as long as I escape this After a catastrophe, send your sister out, and I will accompany you with my own hands, how about that? You can do whatever you want to me then!"

"Hahahahaha...you threatened me..." Hu Li said, his face sank in an instant, and his pale face became even more unpopular, "Wang Lu, I will never let you go, I will let you die for the rest of your life. Live in fear, always live in the fear of not knowing when I will kill you."

Wang Lu's eyes and pupils shrank instantly. Although part of his previous behavior was true, he was indeed frightened almost limp at first, but later he really wanted Xiao Ran to let him go, but now it seems to be self-defeating!

Wang Lu looked at his hair unknowingly when it fell apart. With white clothes and black hair, pale face and blood-colored eyes, Wang Lu became really scared, his lips trembling, "Xiao Ran, are you ignoring your sister?"

Hu Li turned around, his black hair was blown by the wind and hit Wang Lu's face.Wang Lu felt that there was an unspeakable smell of blood and blood on this hair, and he seemed to see the resentful eyes Xiao Ran looked at him before he died.

"No, Xiao Ran...you help me, help me." Wang Lu suddenly got up from the ground and grabbed Hu Li's hand, but Hu Li easily dodged it.Seeing Hu Li whose feet were floating far away from the ground, Wang Lu froze in place.

Wang Lu thought that he would not live long anyway, and he knew that even if he wanted to leave Jiangnan, King Beixian would make him disappear quietly.Thinking of his current situation, a glint of haze flashed across his eyes, "Xiao Ran, you can do one thing for me. I am not reconciled, I want King Beixian to be defeated, as long as this thing succeeds, I will go with you, as you torture."

Hu Li snorted coldly, Wang Lu took out the account book from his sleeve, turned around and walked in front of Hu Li, and put the account book on the table in front of him, "This is the account book that I have helped King Beixian from all over the years. Some of the money I got was given to him directly, and some was exchanged for all kinds of food, grass and soldiers. You just need to send this thing to His Majesty, let him be ruined, and when there is no chance of turning around, I will kill myself."

Hu Li's eyes moved, looking at the account book on the table, he was full of doubts.He hasn't mentioned it yet, why did Wang Lu hand over the things.Brother Xiao said that although Wang Lu is not a good person, he is not a stupid person, how could he hand over things so easily.

Xiao Qi'ao, who stood outside the window and watched all this, had some guesses about the reason.A few days ago, Xia Ling and the others found out that a letter had been delivered to Wang Lu. It seemed that the letter must have been sent by King Beixian.

The appearance of Hu Li disguised as the dead Xiao Ran was a sure hit, making Wang Lu's psychological defense back again and again.After all, Xiao Ran was killed at that time because Xiao Ran disapproved of him joining Beixian King.
