Chapter 408 Cui Hua, Serve the Suancai
Zhou Ze chuckled inwardly.
That name suited this silly girl quite well.
Lawyer An immediately took Cuihua from Old Zhang, glanced at the injuries on her body, and exclaimed in shock:
"Cuihua, which son of a b—, sorry, which bastard did this to you!"
"............" Zhou Ze.
Then,
Lawyer An seemed to think of something,
and immediately shook his head,
saying:
"Let me heal you first."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lawyer An carried Cuihua upstairs.
"Boss, who is that woman?" Bai Yingying handed Zhou Ze a warm towel and asked.
"A silly girl who just ran out of hell. I almost fell into her hands."
Even now, Zhou Ze still felt lingering fear when he recalled the gang wind created by that silly girl.
He insisted on not unsealing, but at that time it could be described as a close call.
"Oh, Boss, your hand!"
Bai Yingying saw Zhou Ze's two bloody fingers, feeling extremely distressed. The fingernails were gone, and they were still bleeding.
"Mmm..."
Zhou Ze only felt his fingers enter a warm, moist place, and a naughty tongue was jumping up and down.
Yingying had put his injured fingers into her mouth.
After a while, Yingying took Zhou Ze's fingers out and asked with great concern:
"Boss, does it still hurt?"
"Silly girl."
Zhou Ze reached out and touched Yingying's head, saying:
"Of course, it still hurts a lot."
"............" Yingying.
The little loli sitting at the bar rolled her eyes.
Can't afford to offend the R.B.Q. (Robot Companion),
This guy is really a steel straight man who insists on being single with his own strength...
If he hadn't encountered the stupid zombie and then that doctor of his with a suspected M constitution,
this guy would never have a woman in his life.
Bai Yingying bandaged Zhou Ze's wound. After everything was taken care of, Zhou Ze walked up the stairs, wanting to see "Cuihua."
If Lawyer An hadn't shown that he knew the woman,
Zhou Ze would have gone up to put a few more holes in her body.
In this regard, Boss Zhou had no intention of showing any mercy.
The little monkey jumped from the beam to Zhou Ze's shoulder. It was crying, obviously missing the old Taoist.
Zhou Ze reached out and patted the monkey's head,
saying:
"Don't worry, the old Taoist is going to be tried tomorrow. We'll make our move tomorrow."
The monkey nodded, it was still very sensible.
"The old Taoist is locked up inside, and I, as the boss, can't eat or sleep peacefully."
Zhou Ze looked worried.
The monkey reached out and hugged Zhou Ze's neck, comforting him in return.
"By the way, the woman I brought back might be useful to you. Let you try it first. If you can recover some of your power from your previous life, you can participate in the prison break tomorrow."
If the effect was good, Zhou Ze would have the little loli bring back the white fox.
Zhou Ze really didn't mind having more of these great demons, but if it was just for raising pets, then forget it.
Going up to the second floor and pushing open Lawyer An's door, Zhou Ze saw Lawyer An sitting beside Cuihua's bed. Cuihua's wounds had been treated by Lawyer An, and with the woman's terrifying recovery ability, she now looked much better.
"You know her?"
Zhou Ze asked.
Lawyer An nodded.
"She almost killed me," Zhou Ze said.
"I apologize to you on her behalf, and thank you for not killing her and bringing her back to heal."
"Well..." Zhou Ze nodded and said, "I'm just too soft-hearted sometimes, and I can't bear to kill women."
"She's a servant of Feng Laosi," Lawyer An said.
"I thought you were that Fourth Master."
"Heh."
Lawyer An shook his head, "Years ago, Feng Si was my subordinate, just like your relationship with Lin Ke."
"I think this must be a bloody story full of conspiracy and betrayal, and the tearing between friendship and interests."
Lawyer An sighed and nodded, "I suppose you could say that. Lao Si was my subordinate back then. Cuihua was a dead soul of a maidservant found in an ancient tomb. She was nourished by the feng shui of the ancient tomb for thousands of years. Lao Si brought her with him."
"Mm."
"Mm."
"Mm?"
"Mm?"
"Keep going, stop mm-ing."
Zhou Ze sat down on a chair next to him,
waiting to hear the story.
"Continue what?"
"Continue to tell the wonderful story of how you were framed, stripped of your official position, and reduced to this state."
"............" Lawyer An.
"Tell me, you didn't want to say it before, but you can talk about it now, right?"
"But I still don't want to say it. It's not something glorious."
"If you don't say it, this woman can't stay," Zhou Ze pointed to Cuihua, who was lying on the bed still unconscious. "I need to know what kind of person the Fourth Master in her mouth and the Feng Si in your mouth is, so I can decide how to handle this matter next."
"Boss, this woman is someone I know, can't you make an exception?"
"That night, on the tree outside the apartment building where the old Taoist had an accident, did you make an exception?"
A smile appeared on the corner of Zhou Ze's mouth.
Lawyer An narrowed his eyes,
a little surprised,
and a little shocked.
So,
Boss had already noticed what happened that night.
Indeed, that night he chose to let this disappointing boss "live or die on his own," although it wasn't intentional betrayal, the relationship of mutual exploitation was torn apart too clearly.
Now, of course, he had no reason to ask Zhou Ze to take responsibility for his affairs.
"Okay, I'll talk," Lawyer An looked at Cuihua on the bed. "Feng Si was the most talented person I've ever met. He came from a righteous path, that is, the kind of sects often used in the ghost stories on the bookshelves downstairs, such as Laoshan, Longhu Mountain, and Maoshan. Of course, they don't really exist in reality.
But in reality, there are indeed a group of people who really have the ability to fight against ghosts and gods. The leper monk you saw at the beginning was also one of them.
Feng Si was a xuanxiu (mystic cultivator) in life. After becoming a ghost official, I don't know how he found a way, but his cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds.
It was also because of this reason that I took him as my ghost official.
Later, I became a constable and then a patrol inspector. He soon became a patrol inspector too, sitting on an equal footing with me. Our relationship was actually quite good."
"Continue, the climax is coming, continue, don't stop."
"Later, I got into trouble and became like this."
"............" Zhou Ze.
Boss Zhou stood up,
walked to the bed,
Although two fingers were bandaged and his right arm was broken, Boss Zhou still had three fingernails to use.
"Boss, what are you going to do?"
"Don't stop me, I'm going to stab her to death!"
"............" Lawyer An.
"At the beginning, I helped a prisoner in the eighteenth level of hell pass on a message, and I was discovered," Lawyer An told the truth. "Later, the officials of the underworld began to hunt me down, because I had committed a taboo.
You may not know what the eighteenth level of hell is like. It's a bit similar to 'Qincheng Prison' in reality.
What I did at the time was indeed a serious crime.
That time, even a judge personally took action and severely injured me. The continuous pursuit almost pushed me into a desperate situation.
In the middle of the Yellow Springs Road, when I was almost exhausted, Cuihua appeared in front of me. She helped me heal."
Zhou Ze looked at the woman lying on the bed,
No wonder Lawyer An was protecting her,
So this silly girl
was Lawyer An's savior.
"That's why I was able to escape from the Yellow Springs Road and smuggle myself back to the human world. In addition, I made a lot of friends when I was a patrol inspector, and they helped me operate.
Plus, I've been stripped of my official writing, so to put it bluntly, I'm just a 'wandering ghost' in the Yang world. Therefore, even if the people in hell know of my existence, most of them just turn a blind eye.
And I also know how to handle things, relying on my previous relationships to do some human snake smuggling business, in order to exchange for the right to survive in this gray area in an ambiguous way."
"In other words, it was your subordinate at the time, your colleague, Feng Si, who saved you?"
"Yes, Cuihua is his person, and only listens to him. Without his arrangement, Cuihua couldn't have appeared there."
"Looking at it this way, Feng Si should be a decent person?
That's not right.
The ghost jade we destroyed before was Feng Si's arrangement. He deliberately left the ghost jade in the Yang world, allowing the ghost jade to grow by relying on human lives to be sacrificed and absorbed year after year, and then send people to pick the fruit when it was ripe.
People who do this kind of thing
don't look like good people, right?
Could it be the kind of person who has no virtue in the small details?"
Lawyer An lowered his head,
remained silent for a while,
and then opened his mouth to say:
"It was Feng Si who informed and exposed me in the first place."
"Huh?" Zhou Ze was surprised. "Then this Fourth Master is sick."
Inform on you,
and then save you?
"He said that informing on me was his duty;
saving me was to repay the kindness of my previous promotion."
Lawyer An paused and continued:
"He has always been excellent, so outstanding that my scalp tingles.
Perhaps,
for him at the time, it didn't matter whether I, who had already been stripped of my official writing, lived or died, so he could use this as a bargaining chip to sell himself well.
Let other patrol inspectors and even judges see that he, Feng Si, was a man of kindness and righteousness.
Hell is actually full of factions, and the style of human relations is countless times more serious than in reality."
"Mm," Zhou Ze nodded.
"But she..."
Lawyer An pointed to Cuihua,
"No matter what Feng Si's intentions are,
anyway,
I can't forget the scene when she suddenly appeared and healed me
when I was being chased so relentlessly that I was almost at the end of my rope.
I don't feel like I owe Feng Si anything, but I owe her a life."
At this time,
Cuihua on the bed seemed to be about to wake up,
and began to talk in her sleep:
"Fourth Master...Fourth Master..."
Lawyer An reached out and stroked Cuihua's forehead.
"Fourth Master...Fourth Master...
Cuihua is hungry...
Cuihua wants to eat...
Sauerkraut..."
