"Let the underworld send someone?"
Zhou Ze frowned. Because of the relationship with the Lord of Mount Tai, the underworld has had little restriction on him since he became a ghost catcher, and he himself did not want to have too much dealings with the underworld.
And if the underworld really sent someone, then this matter has nothing to do with him, a ghost messenger from another place.
The most important thing is that Zhou Ze’s own identity cannot be exposed. After experiencing what happened last time when Tie Hanhan killed everyone in hell, he wished he would never have anything to do with the underworld again. How could he take the initiative to get in front of others
Although it is often said that the most dangerous place is also the safest place, Zhou Ze does not think that he can become Yu Zecheng in the underworld.
"We can send someone we know to do a proper inspection, and that guy probably won't be able to hide anymore."
Zhou Ze pursed his lips and said, "How come you and Feng Si'er are mixed up again?"
Even Xu Qinglang could see the heavy fog in Savage Mountain, let alone Zhou Ze.
After the experience of entering hell in the fog last time,
If Lawyer An was not behind this "coincidental" fog, Zhou Ze would be the first one to not believe it. After all, Lawyer An was a commoner, even a criminal, so someone must cooperate with him.
After thinking about it, the only one who could be the one is the one who likes to eat sauerkraut.
"If you fight at the head of the bed, you make up at the foot of the bed."
Lawyer An was exposed directly, but he didn't feel embarrassed. He just said solemnly:
"Getting promoted and getting rich is the most important factor. It is related to whether we can have enough power to protect ourselves in the upcoming turmoil of hell.
But since we have encountered that kind of stone, even if there is only a one in a thousand chance, we must fight for it. After all, we all know what it means to us whether the one in your body wakes up or not."
Zhou Ze was playing with a lighter in his hand.
He was hesitating and thinking.
Lawyer An squatted beside him, waiting for the boss to make a decision.
Now, after all, it is different from when I was a grassroots civil servant. If I want to continue to climb up and do something, it will be difficult without connections and support from above.
It is easy to be an official if you have someone in the court. This is an eternal truth.
Lawyer An had previously taken great pains to facilitate the birth of Zhou Ze, the most valuable head constable in history, but he would not be satisfied with just that. A head constable, no matter how valuable he was, was still a head constable.
Only if you are at least an inspector or even a judge, will you be qualified to protect yourself. When the flag on the city wall changes, you will be qualified to change your allegiance instead of being abandoned at will.
"Feng Si'er, is everything okay?"
Zhou Ze looked at Lawyer An.
Ultimately, this is the most important issue.
"He's smart, a smart guy."
Lawyer An replied.
Zhou Ze was silent again.
Lawyer An continued:
"First, Boss, I have followed you and become your subordinate. Feng Si'er was my subordinate at the beginning. Yin Shou counts it all, and he knows me better than my mother does.
He definitely won't believe that I really just followed a lazy, selfish, greedy, stingy, and hard-working guy... Uh,
Boss.
Second, regarding the ghost jade incident last time, it was you who snatched the boss away from him. He must have been interested in you and might have even investigated you on purpose.
Thirdly, I heard that last time at the gate of that palace, Cuihuaer saw you, the boss, queuing there
The turmoil in Hell a while ago started from that palace!"
"You mean, he guessed my identity?"
Lawyer An shook his head. "Smart people tend to think a lot. I can feel that he is interested in you. Even before I dragged him into the fog, I didn't make any promises or even tell him anything.
Letting him guess is the best option. It is the most effective and safest to keep things unclear."
Zhou Ze stood up, stretched, and said slowly:
"Old An, if you get carried away, do you know what the consequences will be?"
Once the top officials of the underworld knew that the culprit who had killed eight Yama Dharmabodhisattvas a while ago was still working as a police chief in the world of the living,
The retaliation you will face,
It makes my scalp tingle just thinking about it.
"It's not the first time I've gotten away with it."
This is what Lawyer An replied.
Zhou Ze nodded and asked, "How do I send a message?"
Lawyer An found a piece of paper and a pen and wrote down what happened here, but he concealed some key things, such as the green stone and the purpose of everyone's visit to Yunnan.
There are not many words, but the story is told. The focus is still on the people who were killed in the B&B and the ghost who was silenced.
After finishing writing, Lawyer An printed the paper on Zhou Ze's captain's token, leaving a faint black mark on the paper, like a seal.
immediately,
Zhou Ze took out a lighter and prepared to burn the paper, but Lawyer An handed him two more paper money.
"Let's cook them together, boss."
"Do I need to give a tip?" Zhou Ze asked curiously.
"This little devil is so difficult to deal with. I'm just trying to peel his skin off..."
As they were talking,
Lawyer An felt that he had scolded his boss again, so he smiled and said:
"The underworld has not paid much attention to grassroots affairs in recent years, and our matter is not small, but it is not big either. If that guy does not take follow-up actions and does not continue to kill people and ghost messengers, with the bureaucratic attitude of the underworld, it is definitely better to have less trouble than more.
However, this has no impact on us. We just need to make sure this "report" can be sent up and go through the procedures.
Then let Feng Sier volunteer to deal with this problem. These two ghost notes are just to prevent them from being directly overwhelmed by the postal system of the underworld."
"Then if we burn a few more, will it still bring good luck to the underworld?"
"That would be too conspicuous. If some idiot above finds out that being a ghost messenger out in the field can earn you so much, he might deliberately confiscate your letter and ask you for a bribe or something. Wouldn't that just cause trouble?"
"Is eating so ugly?"
"People who are greedy for money still care about their face, but those people below are a bunch of shameless people."
After burning the paper and two ghost notes into ashes, Zhou Ze clapped his hands and asked, "How long will it take for him to arrive?"
"We have to go through the procedures. It will probably take at least a day."
"Then I'm going to rest."
"Okay, boss, I'll help watch it."
Yingying and Xu Qinglang have already set up the tent. There are already many people camping here, but not many people come to camp in this cold winter.
Lie down in the tent.
Yingying came in soon, put Zhou Ze's head on the root of her thighs, and then gently massaged Zhou Ze.
"Thanks for your hard work."
Zhou Ze said.
"It's not hard, boss. Boss, you've really been working hard recently."
Zhou Ze closed his eyes.
He is really tired.
… …
“Ding Dong… Ding Dong…”
The sound of water drops,
Zhou Ze found himself sitting by the river.
Lift your head,
The sun is clearly hanging in the sky, but it still gives people a gray feeling.
Lower your head,
Zhou Ze looked towards the river.
My own shadow is reflected in the river.
But this shadow is a little blurry.
This is a dream.
“Gulp…Gulp…Gulp…”
Bubbles continued to emerge from beneath the surface of the river, and the entire river began to be filled with a fishy smell.
Arms and legs rose from the bottom of the river, and the entire surface of the river was littered with broken limbs and debris.
“Crash!”
In the middle of the river,
It was as if a black shadow emerged from the water.
Because it is impossible to see clearly among the densely packed debris.
But I just felt a pair of eyes staring at me.
If an ordinary person had this kind of dream, he would probably be scared and either continue to be confused in the nightmare or wake up in a cold sweat.
Zhou Ze stood there.
Meeting the shadow's gaze,
The shadow is calm.
Zhou Ze was also very calm.
Everybody is calm.
All around, there was only the sound of gurgling water and the slight friction of broken limbs and debris colliding with each other.
I don't know how long I watched it.
Zhou Ze was a little tired.
Yawning,
Wave goodbye to the dark shadow,
Closed my eyes,
When I open my eyes again,
Zhou Ze had already woken up and was lying on the bed in the tent, with Yingying sitting next to him playing with her cell phone.
She doesn't seem to like playing games much recently, but likes reading novels instead.
Once in the bookstore, Zhou Ze, because he was concerned about Yingying's thoughts and life, accidentally picked up Yingying's mobile phone that was placed on the bedside by coincidence.
I found that the novels Yingying reads are mainly BL novels.
"Boss, are you awake?"
Yingying put down her phone and came over.
"Boss, you slept for a long time this time. You must be exhausted."
"How long have I slept?"
"One day and one night, almost thirty hours."
Zhou Ze nodded. He was not too surprised. Not to mention the long and boring staring in the long dream, he had been busy all the time recently and the mental consumption was indeed quite great.
When you wake up,
I feel somewhat refreshed.
Sitting up, Zhou Ze was just about to ask Yingying to prepare something to eat when he smelled a strong smell of pickled cabbage.
"They are coming?"
Zhou Ze asked.
"Well, here they are."
Zhou Ze stood up, bent down and walked out of the tent.
"Hahahahaha! Come on, cheers!"
Lawyer An's voice came, sounding extremely happy.
Zhou Ze looked over there.
I saw Lawyer An and a woman in her forties sitting on the floor.
Lawyer An insisted on drinking from the cup with the other person.
Next to her, an old woman was squatting in front of a small stove, watching the fire, and cooking sauerkraut noodles in a small casserole.
Seeing Zhou Ze coming out,
Lawyer An immediately stood up.
The woman also stood up, but seemed a little reserved, like a wealthy man's widow.
“Boss, HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!”
Lawyer An laughed so hard that he almost couldn't breathe.
Pointing to the woman beside him, he said:
"Boss, Feng Si'er is here."
Forehead,
this…
The woman took a few steps forward and nodded slightly to Zhou Ze. She didn't flatter or put on airs, but said calmly:
"We got here in a hurry. There is no suitable male corpse in the funeral home in Lijiang. We can only make do with this."
The old woman who was tending the small stove nearby raised her head and glared at Zhou Ze.
In a very hoarse and old voice, he said:
"Humph, bad guy!"
