Chapter 108: There Must Be Something Hateful About Poor People
"Nianci, you must save us."
Fatty Wang and I were standing nearby, watching Aunt Fang Nianci looking so pitiful.
Just looking at it, I find it a little ridiculous. As the saying goes, there must be something hateful about a pitiful person.
Earlier, she was acting like a shrew and gossipy, constantly scolding Fang Nianci and slandering me. Now she has turned into a "poor person"?
Fang Nianci looked at me, and I could see a trace of pity in her eyes.
But I have no sympathy for such people.
I started by saying, "Nianci, they did something wrong and they should be punished. This matter has nothing to do with you."
"Nianci, please don't listen to him. When we came out to testify, it was because of Lord Zhao's coercion and bribery. Lord Zhao... No, that bastard Zhao Chengju first killed us, and then made us frame you. Otherwise, he would not let us have a good ending. I have no choice."
"What are you still standing there for? Kneel down and beg Nianci."
Fang Nianci's aunt quickly dragged her husband and son to kneel down together, playing the emotional card.
"Nianci, even if you don't want to give face to the monk, you have to give face to the Buddha. Our family is also a victim."
Fang Nianci was so sympathetic that she looked at me and said, "Chen Yang, look..."
I:"……"
Seeing this, I sighed in my heart. To be honest, they were indeed somewhat innocent. I looked at Cheng Yousi and was about to speak, but Cheng Yousi seemed to understand what I meant.
He said slowly: "All of you should get up. Since you were all killed by Director Zhao Cheng, come here and sign and seal to prove it. Then I can let you come back to life and live out the rest of your life. After you die of old age, you will be punished."
When the three heard this, their eyes brightened.
They are not fools and know that this is the best outcome.
They immediately knelt down in front of Cheng Yousi and expressed their gratitude repeatedly. After expressing their gratitude, they stood up and quickly signed their names, then were taken away by the underworld officials.
Cheng Yousi had a faint smile on his face: "Chen Yang, with this signed certificate, it is basically impossible for Director Zhao Cheng to deny his guilt."
I nodded and said, "Your Excellency the Judge, you are right. I have another favor to ask of you."
"Whatever it is, just tell me."
"I want to go to Zhao Chengju's government office to take a look, is that okay?"
After I finished speaking, Cheng Yousi seemed to have a look of embarrassment on his face. Seeing this, I asked, "Judge, is there anything inconvenient?"
"No, no, it's just that Chen Yang, you are still a small underworld messenger. If you go directly to Zhao Chengju's government office to search, it is not in line with the underworld's laws, so..."
Cheng Yousi paused for a few seconds when he said this.
I know what he means. That's right, according to the Yin Law, I am not qualified to enter Zhao Chengju's government office with my current status.
Fatty Wang raised his hand and touched his chin, seeming to agree with what Cheng Yousi said.
"Well, sir, I understand."
After I finished speaking, I prepared to leave Cheng Yousi's government office.
But what I didn’t expect was that just as I was about to turn around, Cheng Yousi called me back.
Cheng Yousi said, "Chen Yang, don't leave yet. It won't be too late to leave after I finish what I have to say."
"Sir, do you have anything else to say?" I turned around and looked at Cheng Yousi with a puzzled look.
He coughed dryly and continued, "Chen Yang, you are now lacking a reasonable identity, so I will find a reasonable identity for you. Chen Yang, listen to my order..."
I was stunned for a few seconds and didn't react for a while.
Fortunately, Fatty Wang next to me suddenly came to his senses as if he had received an electric shock. He pushed me and said to me, "Chen Yang, hurry up and obey my orders. You are going to be promoted."
When I heard this, I was still a little confused.
But he quickly came to his senses and said, "I obey your orders."
Cheng Yousi took out a document and read the words on it. The general content was that the underworld wanted to confer the title of Land God of Fengcheng Township on me.
I was still in a daze when I heard it.
I didn't expect that I would become the God of Land right now. Cheng Yousi still had a smile on his face. Seeing that I didn't come back to my senses, he called me and said, "Chen Yang, what are you waiting for? Come up and get the appointment letter."
I came to my senses, walked to the front, and took the appointment letter from the underworld from his hand.
Cheng Yousi smiled and said, "Chen Yang, from now on I have to call you Lord Chen. I hope that when you become the landlord of Fengcheng Township, you will not let an unjust case like ours happen again. I hope can encourage you."
"Okay, Your Excellency the Judge, I will try my best."
"Master Chen, I have to remind you of one thing. You will be the God of Fengcheng Township in the future. You will be under the command of the City God. You must be careful."
I nodded and said yes.
The City God is the brother-in-law of Zhao Chengju. I have now overthrown Zhao Chengju and taken his place.
How could the City God let me go? I really need to be more vigilant about this matter.
After leaving Cheng Yousi's government office, Fatty Wang suddenly laughed, and while laughing, he clasped his fists towards me and said, "Master Chen, congratulations."
Fang Nianci also said, "Yes, Master Chen, congratulations."
I heard these two people teasing me, so I said, "From now on, you all follow me, and we will work together to prove the innocence of the wronged souls in the underworld."
"Yes, sir."
The two of them answered almost at the same time. I said to Fang Nianci, "You will also be my messenger in the future . I will give you an identity and a document."
After I finished speaking, Fang Nianci's reaction at this time was similar to mine at the beginning. Both of them stood there in a daze, somewhat unable to recover from their shock.
Fortunately, Fatty Wang was there to assist, so Fang Nianci said okay.
I looked at Fatty Wang, and he smiled and said to me, "Master Chen, I don't want to be a ghost messenger. I am a ghost messenger in the underworld, and it is also good. You just need to be an official of the underworld, and don't forget the conditions you promised me before."
"How could that be?"
There was no way I would refuse this matter. After all, I had agreed to his conditions at the beginning, and I have always been honest.
Fatty Wang smiled and said, "Well, you are worthy of being Mr. Chen. You always keep your word and do what you say."
The three of us talked as we walked, feeling quite high and proud.
After walking for a while, we headed towards Zhao Chengju's government office. I am now the City God of Fengcheng Township. Logically speaking, Zhao Chengju's government office is also mine.
So it is only natural for me to go to my own government office.
But what I didn’t expect was that an accident happened before I even arrived at the government office.
