Without much hesitation, Zhou Ze walked into the other person's room. The furnishings in the room were the same as his own room before.
The woman took out tea leaves from her bag, made a cup of tea, and handed it to Zhou Ze.
The room door was not closed.
Although Yingying didn't come in, she stood at the door of her room. This was not to monitor anything, but purely so that she could rush in immediately if anything happened.
In terms of master protection skills,
Yingying ordered a full order.
Zhou Ze sat on the sofa, crossed his legs, and did not touch the tea on the coffee table.
Walking in was actually a small risk to himself, and Zhou Ze had no interest in drinking her tea just to show off his elegance.
"Let me introduce myself first. My last name is Mu."
Zhou Ze narrowed his eyes.
A bit helpless and headache,
The trip to Lijiang,
Why did they get into a conflict with the Mu family
Pulling out the radish will bring out the mud, and it will keep making trouble
"The Mu Palace once ruled this place for several dynasties. Although its power in the world of the living has faded after liberation, under the dark side, the Mu Palace is still the dominant force."
Zhou Ze raised his hand, interrupted the other party, and said with some amusement:
"So, your Muwang Mansion has already taken over the local ghost messenger industry?"
This phenomenon was quite common in ancient times, because in ancient times, due to the limitations of transportation and communication conditions, except for a few county officials such as the county magistrate and the county magistrate who were directly appointed by the court, many of the minor officials below were actually locals. The superiors came and went, but they remained the same, which often led to a situation where local clans actually controlled the real power.
Many county magistrates who were well-versed in the Four Books and Five Classics found that their words were not as effective as those of the local wealthy families when they arrived at the local areas.
Even in modern times, this situation is not uncommon, especially in places where the atmosphere of personal relationships is relatively strong.
Maybe most of the people in a department or an organization are related to each other.
Although Zhou Ze had no expectations for the increasingly corrupt underworld, he really couldn't believe that the Mu Wang Mansion, a small secular chieftain in the past, could stretch its hands so long.
"They are not the local ghost officers and police chiefs, they are all descendants of the Mu family. However, hundreds of years ago, the Mu Palace would personally confer titles and memorials on the local ghost officers and police chiefs, and even bestow the surname 'Mu' on them.
Over time, this tradition has been preserved and passed down.
My name is Mudie.
He is also a local ghost messenger in Lijiang.
Nice to meet you. "
Zhou Ze said playfully, "So, the reason why the female ghost was silenced was because her last name was not Mu?"
"It happens everywhere, doesn't it?"
Mudie didn't care.
Every circle naturally has its own rules. The poor female ghost who was silenced could only say that she was unlucky and came to a unit with serious nepotism.
"Why did you come up to me on your own initiative? I don't think it's to avenge Mu Chengen, right?"
Boss Zhou really hoped that the other party would nod directly.
In this way, I can get rid of her and live in peace.
Back then in Xuzhou, he almost wiped out all the local ghost officials in Xuzhou. It doesn't make sense that now that he is the head of the police force, he is more cowardly than before.
After going through a lot of things, Zhou Ze increasingly understood Tie Hanhan's behavior in hell. Problems that can be solved with fists are often the most comfortable and straightforward.
"It is only natural that Mu Chengen plotted against you and was judged by you. Although we both have the surname Mu, we are not related by blood. Over the years, we have only kept to ourselves.
Besides,
Mu Chengen had already betrayed us."
"You still have an organization?"
Mu Die nodded. "The reason why the ghost messengers of Lijiang throughout the ages were given the surname Mu and were worshipped by the Mu Palace was, firstly, to protect the land and the people and to protect the people of this area from being attacked by ghosts and wild ghosts, and secondly, to guard a dragon cave in Lijiang."
"Dragon's lair?"
Zhou Ze rubbed his temple somewhat embarrassedly.
He really didn't think there was a dragon's lair in Lijiang. It wasn't that he had any prejudice against this beautiful place, but the reason why the Mu Palace in history had been preserved for hundreds of years was very simple. Whenever the Central Plains dynasty was about to change, the Mu Prince of that generation could always judge the situation in time and serve as the guide of the new dynasty.
No matter it was the Mongols, the Ming army, or the Qing army that came later, Prince Mu would take the initiative to welcome them, offer supplies and his "loyalty", and welcome the royal army!
Even if there is a "dragon's lair" here, I haven't seen the Mu Palace really raise the flag of rebellion to shake the country.
Mu Die seemed to have guessed Zhou Ze's thoughts. She was not angry. She knew well that since ancient times, the Shuiyou tribe (as the locals called them) had always had a sense of superiority.
This sense of superiority may come from the concept of cultural inheritance. Even if a person becomes a ghost after death, it will not change because he retains all the consciousness he had in life.
“The Dragon Cave is a ghost cave. For a period of time, it brought disaster to the surrounding area. Not only the area of Lijiang today, but even half of Yunnan has suffered from its harm.
Later, three eminent monks came here and sealed the devil's cave. One of the monks even passed away here. After that, the matters concerning the devil's cave gradually became unknown to the public.
The ghost messengers in Lijiang from generation to generation are responsible for helping the Muwang Palace suppress and maintain the seal of the ghost cave.
The Muwang Palace has vindicated our reputation, and the underworld has tacitly acknowledged our duties. Our performance points and merits will also be added to this, a bit like the temple gods in the world of the living."
"Let's get to the point."
Zhou Ze reminded,
When he traveled, he had never been interested in local folk performances, and naturally had no interest in the local history of ghost officials.
“It’s embarrassing that Mu Cheng’en, who you just sanctioned, is the only one among our generation of Lijiang ghost messengers who can get close to the seal of the ghost cave.
And recently,
Because you caused the movement of tens of thousands of military souls at the border a while ago,
Stimulated the ghost cave,
As a result, the ghost cave has shown signs of instability.
so… … "
"Ah, I'm tired."
Zhou Ze stood up.
He didn't even drink a sip of the tea. He stood up, zipped up his jacket, and walked towards the door.
"I'm going back on a flight tomorrow. Bye."
Mudie was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't expect Zhou Ze to react like this, and immediately said:
"Sir, if there is a problem with the ghost cave, the impact and damage caused will be terrible. The local..."
"You'd better check out and leave before I finish taking a shower and prepare to rest, otherwise, I will be very angry. Also, next time, don't act like a pervert like others."
Zhou Ze warned without even turning his head.
Then,
He walked straight back to his room across from hers and asked Yingying to close the door.
… …
"Boss, don't you like that woman?"
Yingying asked as she applied soap to her boss.
Zhou Ze Zhou Ze sat on the bench with his eyes closed, enjoying the Yingying brand bubble bath service while shaking his head:
"Beautiful women are always troublesome."
He is a ghost messenger in Tongcheng. Although he is not thousands of miles away from Yunnan, the distance is really not that far.
Boss Zhou has never believed in upholding justice and taking it as his responsibility to save the people of the world.
Zhou Ze was not sure whether the matter of the ghost cave was really that difficult, or even whether the ghost cave really existed.
But one thing is certain, although the underworld is crumbling, its basic operations can still be maintained. Although he had applied for it before and used a backdoor, it also allowed Feng Si'er to come up in the name of a "business errand".
Therefore, even if something happens in Lijiang, the worst that can happen is that the underworld will send someone else.
As for what harm would happen if I didn't act in time,
hehe,
What the hell does it have to do with me
Yingying started to use the spray to help Zhou Ze wash his body.
Some regretfully said:
"What a pity, he's a ghost messenger."
"What's a pity?"
Zhou Ze couldn't help but laugh.
This girl is still thinking about those things in her head.
"Boss, are you prejudiced against ghost messengers
Yes, that’s right, Boss, you used to be a surgeon, so you must have some.”
"What do you mean?"
"Many men are very concerned about whether a woman has had plastic surgery. As for the ghost messenger, this is the most thorough plastic surgery in the world, right?"
Except the soul is original,
The whole body,
A new person has been appointed.
Hearing Yingying's words,
Zhou Ze was facing the mirror in the shower room at this time.
He looked at himself in the mirror.
This one,
A face that I have become very familiar with and accustomed to seeing in the past two years.
yes,
My original appearance,
It seems to have become a little blurry.
Yingying didn't notice Zhou Ze's abnormality and continued to talk to herself:
"But think about it, would there be any difference between the children born by two ghost messengers
But having a child is still related to this body, right? I guess..."
"Yingying, the water is a little cold."
"Oh, sorry boss, I'll adjust it right away."
Seeing Yingying's tendency to move towards the topic of "Who cheated on whom?"
Zhou Ze immediately changed the subject.
After taking a shower,
Zhou Ze asked Yingying to go outside and take a look.
After confirming that the wooden butterfly had left,
Zhou Zecai lay down on the bed with peace of mind.
Sleep, sleep,
Go home tomorrow.
Yingying lay beside Zhou Ze very obediently.
Sleeping with Zhou Ze.
Although there was a small incident with Mudie today,
But it was also a rare relaxing and enjoyable day in my life, with a sense of satisfaction after a date with a beautiful girl.
Boss Zhou fell into a sweet dream.
What he didn't know was,
When he fell asleep,
Mudie squatted in a small courtyard, burning paper silently, with sorrow all over her face.
An old lady rode a Dian horse into a large canyon with a serious look on her face.
And just on the hillside in front of the canyon,
A middle-aged man dressed in beggar's clothes is walking forward step by step.
The man is not good-looking.
Perhaps the only thing that can attract attention is
It's the dense patches of baldness on his head.
The dark clouds in the sky,
It is becoming denser and denser.
The rainy season in Lijiang has passed.
But the heavy rain
It seems to be coming again...
