I am the county magistrate in Liaozhai

Different from the warmth and comfort of Tangxi, the capital at this time is experiencing the last severe cold before spring.

But today is the Shangyuan Festival. Even though it is cold, it still can't stop people from celebrating the festival. There are lanterns and festoons everywhere in the capital. Restaurants, lantern festivals, guessing games, and juggling are even more lively than in previous years.

But this year's excitement obviously does not belong to the palace.

The old emperor was too sick, and the medicine was gone. All creatures in this world are equal before death. Even if the powerful and powerful use the most expensive and best medicinal materials, they can't save the body that is about to run out of oil.

Originally, this year's Shangyuan Festival would not be so prosperous, but the old emperor rarely woke up, saying that he likes to be lively, so the Ministry of Rites supervised the event.But in fact, all the ministers in the DPRK and China are worried, because the crown prince has not yet been established.

Some time ago, the Shaanxi Dao case was dealt with vigorously. From the Futai to the local? Fang? County magistrate, most of Shaanxi was pulled down, and the line of the three princes fell into a slump. But without the third prince, there are still? The prince and the fifth prince.

Although the eldest prince has average wrists, he wins the longest. The fourth prince, though of ordinary origin, holds the military power. In the end, there is the fifth prince, whose mother is a noble concubine, who holds the power of the harem. Long, after the third prince was forced to withdraw from the battle, the situation in the court has not yet stabilized.

In fact, at this time, no one wanted anything to happen to the old emperor.

But just at this moment, the old emperor passed away.

Nie Xiaoqian was able to know in time because the underworld government got the news. After all, the emperor of the world enters the underworld government after death, and there are gifts from heaven. As long as he is not a faint king, he can enjoy certain honors and benefits privilege.

At this moment, the people in Beijing and most of the officials are unaware of it.

All the insiders gathered in the Yande Palace where the old emperor recuperated. Since the beginning of autumn, there has been a warm earth? Dragon. Now because the gate of the palace is closed, the air is stagnant, and there is a faint feeling of anxiety.

"Fu Chengshu, you are so courageous!"

Fu Chengshu was wearing a dark red official robe, which made his face even more like a crown jade. Even at this moment of confrontation, he didn't see any panic, and he didn't even respond to the fifth prince's accusation.

He calmly threw the pill in his hand into the incense burner next to him, and he was relieved when he saw the embers burnt the pill.

Seeing this, the fifth prince became even more emotional: "That is the only chance for my father to live! Fu Chengshu, you must die!"

The fifth prince struggled harder and harder, but was pinned to the ground by the guards.

"My son! Stop it!" The imperial concubine was in a state of embarrassment at the moment, looking at the fourth prince's eyes as if her eyes were poisoned, "Fourth, you are so disobedient to the law of heaven, are you not afraid that we will tell the truth?"

"No matter how much you hate him, he is also your father! How dare you kill... ah!"

The imperial concubine was pinched, and through the screen, she could still see the old emperor who had been dead for a long time, and not far away, there was an imperial doctor Qi whose limbs had been broken.

Doctor Qi is very old, but he is still not dead. Not only that, he doesn't even seem to feel pain. If he wasn't imprisoned by someone, he could even crawl up and sit up.

Chess missed, what went wrong?King Qi Ye couldn't figure it out.

In fact, Imperial Physician Qi's plan is quite simple. He is a "smart man" and understands that only the simpler the plan is, the easier it is to implement. The case of Shaanxi Dao gave him an excellent opportunity to contact the Fifth Prince.

He didn't have a keen sense of court, but Imperial Physician Qi knew that the old emperor couldn't die at such a time, especially for the fifth prince who wanted to continue to grow his power.

He inquired in the capital and heard a lot of news, and finally entered the palace with the power of the fifth prince. The imperial concubine was in charge of the harem, so it was extremely difficult for him to be discovered. With the assistance of the imperial concubine, he could easily meet the emperor.

But what Imperial Physician Qi didn't expect was that the palace would be under martial law on the second day after he entered the palace. He originally wanted to offer the Xiantian pill through the hands of the noble concubine, but the best time to take the Xiantian pill was when he was dying, so he could only take the risk of pretending to be a concubine. Eunuchs accompany outside the hall.

Just a little bit, just one step away, he can bring the dead back to life!He will be the greatest physician in the world!Enjoy ten thousand people? Worship, be famous through the ages, establish a sect and establish a sect!

But now it's all gone, it's all over.

Thinking in this way, the madness on Doctor Qi's face became more and more intense, and the mania started to flare up. The four guards didn't hold him down, and he rolled two steps forward, screaming: "You Do you know what you destroyed just now! That is the 'resurrection' that countless people? A sinner?!"

In an instant, everyone's eyes were on Fu Chengshu.

Fu Chengshu didn't panic at all, he just wanted to destroy this so-called Xiantian pill in front of everyone: "You also know that there have been countless people throughout the ages? You say it can be brought back to life, is there any proof?"

Imperial Physician Qi laughed even more madly: "Of course I do! Zhou Lin, Taishi of Wuzhou Wenbo Museum, he lives because of Xiantian Pill! Are you a sinner?!"

Fu Chengshu was silent, but another middle-aged official in an official robe next to him scolded: "It's nonsense! Zhou Taishi's corpse has already been returned to his hometown by his spirit. Fu Shilang is Zhou Lin's friend. You are so crazy!" People? What exactly do you want!"

"No! It's impossible! I still have the Xiantian Dandan formula? Just give it to the old man..."

Imperial Physician Qi's eyes widened. His huge and cloudy eyeballs lowered slightly, and he saw that a bright sharp knife had pierced his heart. He raised his head in horror, only to see the figure of the Fourth Prince drawing his sword coldly.

King Qi Ye is dead.

"The fifth prince and the imperial concubine collaborated with the Qi imperial physician to assassinate the late emperor..."

The so-called history is written by the victors, no matter how unwilling the fifth prince and the noble concubine are, they will not be able to make a comeback. As for the eldest prince, he is actually celebrating a festival in the city right now, and by the time he knows everything, everything will have been settled.

The old emperor died on the Lantern Festival, but he announced to the world that it was the sixteenth day of the first lunar month.

When the emperor dies, the whole country mourns, all entertainment activities are stopped, tassels and crowns are removed, clothes are worn, all marriages, mourning clothes, and slaughter are forbidden, and honors are given after death, that's it.

The people in Beijing are panicking. If there is no mistake, it is a foregone conclusion that the fourth prince will take over the position. The Chaozhong Pavilion routinely resigns, and the rest of the officials are also making their own plans in their hearts. .

In ancient times, the transmission of information was slow, and when Beijing was completely deserted, Jiangnan was still peaceful.

Although Cheng Jin knew about it in advance, he didn't have the sense that the imperial power was greater than the sky. He still had to eat and drink. After all, when the funeral report came out, he would have to be a vegetarian every day.

There is no way, being an official is so hard.

Even because of the national mourning, many of his plans had to be postponed. Except for the spring seeds that were on the agenda, others including the opening of the theater, monthly outings, and even Ah Cong's small place? Place? Restaurant had to be put on hold.

Although Tangxi is a small place, it still has to go with the big team. Within three months, basically say goodbye to all activities.He had heard before that there was a rumor that a dandy drove a car with his concubine at home during the national mourning period, and made a small life, which made his family lose.

"Huh? Master Hei? What about Ah Cong? Ask me to send two servings of chicken soup."

The golden and bright fish maw chicken soup was put in the soup pot, the soup was already almost viscous, this fish maw was sent over by Li Yong during the New Year's Eve, and now the fragrance was tangy, Cheng County magistrate said both Not too many servings, three are fine.

"He's not here, I can do it for you." Hei Lulu left him long ago and ran to the capital, humming.

Mao Mao turned around and said that he could also do it for him.

"Oh, by the way, how is the greenhouse planting in Langya Township now?" Cheng Jin went to Langya Township once a year ago, but after the year he was busy visiting old teachers and friends, and later on? He was busy building roads and temple fairs, so nothing happened. Don't worry? Past.

"It's pretty good. Langya Township originally focused on planting medicinal materials. Except for the medicinal fields, greenhouses were planted in the hinterland of the mountain. Because of the profits from the first two crops, many other townships also applied for greenhouses. Now they can supply Fucheng. Vegetables are in demand."

After hearing this, the county magistrate Cheng nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, Tangxi should benefit from this wave."

Regarding the national mourning, in fact, there should be quite a few projects that have been suspended in various places. Although Tangxi was also affected, at least everyone became a vegetarian during the national mourning, and Tangxi was still able to sell vegetables in greenhouses.

Magistrate Cheng took a sip of the chicken soup with satisfaction, and it was so fresh that it hit his forehead. The fish maw has been full for five or six years, and it is delicious.

"Oh, by the way, Lu Miaozhu invites you to the Town God's Temple."

After Cheng Jin drank the chicken soup, he went to the Temple of the City God. In order to save some time, the county magistrate Cheng quietly walked the ghost path. Anyway, he was famous in the Tangxi ghost world, and no ghost dared to fight him. His idea .

"Lu Miaozhu, but the research on Xiantian Pill has made progress?"

Lu Miaozhu: "...Master Cheng? Sure enough, he predicts things like a god."

In fact, the City God could have told Cheng Jin about this matter in his dreams, but he has been entangled in secular affairs recently, and the culprit is the new young county magistrate, so he was impatient to see people, so he pushed Lu Miaozhu out as a mouthpiece.

In this regard, Lu Miaozhu said that he really wanted to lose his fans of the City God.

But fortunately, Lu Miaozhu is an "honest" person, and he quickly narrated the message that the City God entrusted to him in a dream.

"Chenghuang Lord said that the main medicine of this Xiantian pill is called soul-inducing grass. This kind of grass will only grow on the banks of the Wangchuan River. My lord? You have also been to the Difu. You should know that the water of the Wangchuan River has the ability to dissolve The function of the soul, this soul-attracting grass is irrigated by the Wangchuan River, and it naturally has the power to absorb the soul."

Cheng Jin didn't understand: "So this Xiantian pill can absorb souls?" But it doesn't seem to have much to do with bringing the dead back to life.

"That's right, a dying person? The potential of the body is exhausted. If you get the Xiantian Pill, you can use the power of your soul to continue your life. The soul of a person will only wear out after reincarnation? Its power is far stronger than that of the physical body."

After saying this, Cheng Jin understood: "It turns out that the soul is burned by the power of medicine to feed the body. Is there something wrong with He Zixiao's ghost?"

Lu Miaozhu nodded his head: "I really can't hide anything from you. Then He Zixiao was going to go to the stage, but he didn't expect his soul to be injured at all, and he couldn't die at all. For this matter, Then the old lady of the He family got into a quarrel with that fox demon Huang Jiulang again, insisting that the fox harms people and wants the local government to rule."
