Chapter 8 The Dragon Clan repays its favor

Jiang Nu returned to heaven on her own, and Yun Zhongjun and Si Lu stayed in the mortal world to face each other.

But facing Si Lu, Yun Zhongjun felt very frustrated——

How could there be people who are so clueless?

For example, when Yun Zhongjun saw Si Lu's serious face, he wanted to flirt with her , but instead of resisting, Si Lu took advantage of him and agreed very calmly. Well, he was also a little happy?

But after a while, he had that cold and paralyzed look on his face again. He didn't take the teasing just now into his heart at all. He was doing whatever he was supposed to do. He kept his distance from Yun Zhongjun intentionally or unintentionally, acting seriously as if he was really just with Yun Zhongjun. Zhongjun has a pure collegial relationship.

Well, actually it is a pure relationship between colleagues.

But what does Si Lu mean?

Either push him away and scold him loudly; or climb up the pole and make the sky thunder and the earth fire. Well, if it really comes to that step, he will definitely refuse to obey. After all, he still sincerely only likes women... But now What's Si Lu's look like, seeming to be leaving, wanting to refuse but then welcoming? flirt?

Hey, not to mention that Yun Zhongjun is really itchy... Bah, he likes women!

Yun Zhongjun was bored at the inn, so he followed Si Lu during the day to follow up on the daily life of the greedy mortal Lu Tong. According to Si Lu, this was to ensure that the report submitted to Emperor Wenchang was accurate.

In fact, this Lu Tong did not commit any serious crime. He just committed some corruption and bribery that are common among ordinary officials. If it is more outrageous, it may be to slander someone who is in vain and to frame a loyal person. This is true in all dynasties in the mortal world. , it stands to reason that the soul of the dead should have been taken directly to the underworld and handed over to Emperor Fengdu for disposal. There was no need for Si Lu Xingjun from the heaven to personally come to the mortal world to deal with it.

But Lu Tong's mistake was to challenge the laws of heaven and openly speak in contempt of heaven——

It is said that last year , due to the constant war in the mortal world, the emperor of the Middle Earth settled in a corner and indulged in extravagance and extravagance. Emperor Wenchang of the heavenly realm petitioned the Jade Emperor for the power of heavenly punishment, and appointed the Dragon King of Qiantang River to cause a flood near the temporary capital of the mortal world. To show warning.

At that time, Lu Tong, who was promoted to prime minister to repay the favor of the Dragon Clan of the East China Sea, was ordered to provide disaster relief. However, he misappropriated the disaster relief funds allocated by the court and lied that the vehicles carrying the funds were robbed by bandits on the way. The official asked the court to allocate funds again, which caused a lot of discussion in the court.

Some honest officials in the court who couldn't stand Lu Tong's behavior stepped forward and asked Lu Tong sternly in the court hall whether he was not afraid of retribution from heaven for his actions. Unexpectedly, Lu Tong laughed loudly in the Jinluan Hall and stroked his beard with disdain:

"How can there be any talk of ghosts and gods in this world? Our Holy One is the True Dragon Emperor, and His Holy One is the reincarnation of heaven. If His Majesty does not think that I deserve retribution, the retribution of reincarnation of heaven will not come to me!"

After a few words, everyone in the general hall was shocked.

In the past, in order to protect the order of the mortal world, the heavenly realm sent immortals to the mortal world repeatedly from the barbaric era to educate mortals. It took thousands of years to create a complete system of ritual and music education, allowing mortals to communicate with the sacred world and abide by the four realms. laws and regulations.

Although the number of mortals who firmly believe in the way of heaven is becoming less and less due to the passage of time and the rare occurrence of miracles, most mortals who are somewhat awe-inspiring still hold an attitude of preferring to believe what they have or not, and never dare to violate the rules.

Now that Lu Tong is arrogant and openly criticizing this fundamental system, isn't it like touching the Jade Emperor's reverse scale? It would be unjust to not handle him properly.

Si Lu took the order from Emperor Wenchang this time to personally deal with this arrogant mortal and let his soul be imprisoned in the worst hell of the underworld forever, as a warning to others.

Yun Zhongjun and Si Lu rode on a cloud together, standing on the top of the cloud and watching the daily life of the mortal Lu Tong.

The mortal Lu Tong covered the sky with his hands and did evil things in the court, but when he was at home , he also loved to drink tea and read, and occasionally wrote a few short poems, which was somewhat elegant.

It stands to reason that all mortals attach great importance to the inheritance of their heirs, but Lu Tong especially dotes on his only daughter Qing He. Even though he has done this as an official, he still only has his poor wife as a companion in the house , and he does not accept her. He has a wife and concubines, but he never plays with the maids on weekdays . This really opened Yun Zhongjun's eyes.

At this time, Lu Tong was seen in the courtyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion with a bookcase, pen and inkstone, and he was composing poems in the wind. He was so elegant and elegant that he didn't look like a greedy person who had power over the government and ignored human life.

"Qinghe, come on, come sit here with daddy."

, who was tired of groaning, sat down leisurely, called the little girl in the arms of the lady beside him, and held her on his lap with a smile.

The little girl was not afraid of her father, she pulled Lu Tong's long beard and laughed happily.

Lu Tong patted the little girl's hand and smiled without being annoyed.

"Qing He, stop it! It's too inappropriate to pull your father's beard like this . If you marry into your husband's family in the future, your mother-in-law will take care of you!"

Mrs. Lu Tong scolded from the side.

"I don't want to get married. If I want to get married, I need a man to marry in. Dad, are you right?" The little girl flashed a pair of cunning eyes and raised her eyebrows:

"My daughter will serve her father and mother all her life and will never go anywhere!"

"You're such a spoiled girl!" Mrs. Lu Tong was very angry and turned to complain to Lu Tong again:

"It's all you. You have known how to spoil your daughter all day long, and you have spoiled her like this. I asked you to marry several concubines and have more children, but you refused to listen. Now that you have spoiled this only Qinghe like this, you will be in trouble in the future. How is it good to be born?”

Mrs. Lu Tong shed tears as she spoke.

"Madam, please don't mention these words again." Lu Tong advised in a gentle voice, "If I marry someone else, won't Qinghe be wronged? You won't be wronged? We came along this way in the past, and we will continue to live like this all the way in the future. That's good. As long as I'm here, you and Qing He will never suffer any injustice."

Mrs. Lu Tong's tears turned into laughter.

"Lu Tong and his wife are a poor and humble couple. Although they were introduced by a matchmaker, they still seem to be very harmonious now." Si Lu said from the side.

"It's rare to be so rich and wealthy and still retain your original intention." Yun Zhongjun said thoughtfully.

"What book have you read recently? Can you memorize it for daddy?" Lu Tong asked Qing He on his lap softly.

"I just learned poetry from my master and read an article called "Tao Yao". My daughter liked it very much." The little girl replied seriously.

" When the peach blooms , its flowers are shining brightly. When the son returns, he will be suitable for his family..." Lu Tong chanted , and then said with a smile:

"What, my baby Qinghe wants to get married?"

As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Lu Tong and all the maids and servants waiting beside her laughed.

"Dad, what are you talking about? I'm ignoring you-" The little girl hit Lu Tong on the shoulder and turned her head angrily.

Lu Tong laughed loudly, and the courtyard was filled with the warmth and sweetness of spring flowers.

Yun Zhongjun was lying on the head of the cloud, looking at the mortal Lu Tong who was patiently teaching his daughter Qing He how to practice calligraphy. His wife, who had faded appearance , was holding an inkstone by the side, and she couldn't help but wonder:

"It is said that ordinary people are cold-blooded and cold-hearted. In the past, Sima Xiangru betrayed Zhuo Wenjun, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty failed Chen Ajiao, and recently there was the incident of Xu Xianjiang's daughter. But today, I see that the heinous and greedy Prime Minister Lu Tong has some real character. How can you treat your wife and daughter so well?"

Si Lu stood aside and looked at him seriously:

"Do you think all mortals are heartless and unjust people?"

Yun Zhongjun turned over and lay on the clouds to look at Si Lu, who stood tall and tall:

"That's not quite true. Look, doesn't Xu Xian, who betrayed Jiang Nu, remember Jiang Nu for all his life? In fact, no matter mortals or immortals, all sentient beings in the four worlds are ignorant, going round and round without knowing what to say. Just like this mortal Lu Tong, he is very dear to his wife and daughter here in this life , but how can he know that they will not know each other in the next life?

"But, if I can be an immortal couple like Si Lu Xingjun , then I will be willing to be tied up for the rest of my life." Yun Zhongjun looked at Si Lu's increasingly serious face and suddenly changed his smile. Inspiring.

Si Lu looked at Lingjun deeply and said nothing:

"Lu Tong is hateful, but he is sincere to his wife and daughter. He is destined to have this fate in life, and he can give his all to the people in his heart. He won't feel any regret if he thinks about it."

Yun Zhongjun raised his lips and smiled: "Xiao Zhengze, it sounds like you are very experienced?"

Si Lu glanced at him and stopped talking.

"Eh? Xiao Zhengze, look at the direction of the imperial city, why is there a faint evil spirit floating around?"

Yun Zhongjun pointed to a place in the lower realm and asked Si Lu.

Si Lu came back from his thoughts, looked in the direction he pointed, and frowned:

"After dealing with this Lu Tong, we still need to go to the palace for a walk."

After watching Lu Tong, Yun Zhongjun and Si Lu got up and went back. Ayan, who was staying at the inn, was fast asleep on Yun Zhongjun's bed.

Yun Zhongjun stepped into the house, and Si Lu also followed.

"I'll go to the Dragon King of the East China Sea to discuss Lu Tong. You stay at the inn and wait for me." Si Lu said .

Yun Zhongjun felt that it was boring for him to stay here alone with Ayan, so he suggested that he and Si Lu go to the East China Sea for a walk.

Si Lu showed that weird look again:

"You...don't go."

"Why?" Yun Zhongjun asked curiously.

"The Dragon King doesn't like strangers."

"Then you are an acquaintance of the Dragon King?" Yun Zhongjun felt that Si Lu's reason was far-fetched.

Si Lu looked at Yun Zhongjun and said nothing.

When Yun Zhongjun stood in front of the East China Sea Dragon Palace, he couldn't help but sigh, this East China Sea Dragon King really deserves to be the younger brother of the current Jade Emperor——

Such fine glazed tiles are even covered with pavilions at the entrance for pedestrians to rest;

Such a big luminous pearl was casually hung in front of the palace gate to make a lantern;

Such fine silk and satin, even the maids and slaves who sweep the floor and sprinkle water are dressed elegantly...

In short, the Dragon King of the East China Sea only has this requirement for the decoration style of his home - "The identity of the royal family and nobles must be highlighted, and the inner wealth and wealth must be highlighted."

Yun Zhongjun was just sighing at the splendor of the Dragon Palace, when a sudden surprise call rang in his ears:

"Your Highness the Crown Prince?!"
