Chapter 303 Yama Palace
Gu Zhaolin did his job and quickly arranged the matter.
He is currently in charge of the Zhenxi Army, and this matter is just a trivial matter to him.
Zhao Shuning spoke to him, and he felt very happy because he had a sense of value and was needed by others.
This also gave him a taste of power.
In the past, how could he have had the power to decide this matter so casually?
And this is just a trivial matter. In the future, when the Zhenxi Army is truly under his control, he will have more power in his hands.
Li Chengsheng's main business is also medicinal materials. From now on, all the medicinal materials needed by the Zhenxi Army will be supplied by him.
As for what would happen to the original medicinal material merchants after their business was taken away, no one cared.
At this moment, Gu Zhaolin only wanted to do one thing, which was to send the people from Beijing away.
Recently, the army has been stepping up its efforts to count the number of casualties. How to provide compensation and how to request merit should all be compiled into memorials and submitted to the court.
As soon as the matters here are sorted out, Ren Zongping will return to Beijing to report.
Gu Zhaolin unreservedly recommended credit for Zhao Shuning in his memorial. This was one of the few things he could do for Zhao Shuning.
Perhaps due to the hard work during this period, Gu Zhaolin felt a little unwell, but he did not care.
He is young and strong, and even if he occasionally feels unwell, it is just a minor problem and nothing to worry about.
Finally, everything was settled and Ren Zongping and his party were ready to return to Beijing.
Gu Zhaolin immediately ordered people to prepare a banquet to see off Ren Zongping and other officials in the capital.
If he could send them away successfully, Gu Zhaolin would be able to breathe a sigh of relief.
Gu Zhaolin wanted to please Ren Zongping, so this banquet was held with great grandeur.
Chu Yian was also among them.
He watched Gu Zhaolin and Ren Zongping toasting each other and flattering each other in every way, and he felt contempt and disdain.
This person has mediocre abilities. If he hadn't been lucky enough to be adopted by General Zhenxi, how could he have such good fortune?
Zhao Shuning had indeed completed the deal with Boss Li. Chu Yian's face became uglier when he thought of the role played by Gu Zhaolin and the possible connection and transactions between him and Zhao Shuning.
But he couldn't expose this matter, he could only endure it.
He wanted to drink to vent his anger, but he was injured, so he could only drink cup after cup of tea to suppress the anger in his heart.
For some reason, he felt his head was a little dizzy.
He was clearly drinking tea, so why did he have the illusion of being drunk?
He looked around and realized that many people around him were lying on the table, unconscious!
Chu Yian suddenly shuddered and realized what had happened.
He practiced his internal energy to force the toxins out of his body, but the more he practiced, the more dizzy he became. He held on for a few breaths, but finally couldn't hold on any longer and completely lost control of his body.
Who poisoned him? Was it Gu Zhaolin?
At this time, Gu Zhaolin was also lying on the table, unconscious.
After an unknown amount of time, he smelled a peculiar smell at the tip of his nose. His eyelids moved slightly, and his confused mind slowly became clear.
At this time, Gu Zhaolin discovered that he was tied to a pillar and could not move.
He tried hard to open his eyes wide, and when he saw everything around him clearly, his face suddenly changed drastically with fear.
Inside the hall, ghostly green lights flickered, illuminating the white bones on the ground like countless crouching evil spirits.
Gusts of cold wind blew, carrying the ashes of paper money swirling in the air.
Gu Zhaolin screamed in surprise, and then his crotch felt hot and wet, and the smell of urine filled the air.
"Help, help, quick, help!"
A majestic voice came, "How dare you, who is making such a noise?"
Gu Zhaolin looked up with a pale face, and saw a judge in black clothes sitting in front of him. There were ghostly patterns painted on his face, and his eyes were as sharp as an eagle.
Who, who is this person? Where is this place?
Gu Zhaolin trembled all over, and a very scary guess arose in his heart.
Is this the underworld?
A man in a white robe that reached the ground and with his tongue sticking out three feet long appeared on his left side, speaking in a sinister voice.
"Reporting to the King of Hell, this is Gu Zhaolin, originally surnamed He. He lost his parents at the age of six and was adopted by General Gu Qishan, the General of Zhenxi. He was twenty-one at the time."
King of Hell: "Why did you die?"
Another man in black clothes, with an iron face and curly beard appeared on his right, his voice equally cold.
"Poisoned to death."
When Gu Zhaolin saw them and heard this conversation, his head was about to explode.
This is really the underworld!
He actually died of poisoning. Who poisoned him?
He asked unwillingly, "Who poisoned me?"
The King of Hell glanced at him calmly, "You are already dead, there is no need to delve into the past."
"I won't give up! Even if I die, I will be a clear-headed ghost!"
The King of Hell frowned, but still spoke.
"The person who harmed you is called Zhao Shuning."
Gu Zhaolin was struck by lightning when he heard this answer.
"That's impossible! She can't possibly hurt me!"
The King of Hell scolded him in a deep voice, "You are just an insignificant, nameless kid. How could I deceive you? Have you felt unwell recently? You were poisoned then, but you didn't realize it. Now that you are dead, I will send you to Naihe Bridge and reincarnate as soon as possible."
Gu Zhaolin was still in shock and hadn't come back to his senses.
This truth was even more shocking than when he just learned that he was dead!
He felt as dazed as if he had been hit on the head with a stick, and then he was filled with an uncontrollable anger.
Why?
Why did Zhao Shuning treat himself like this?
I am deeply in love with him, always respond to her requests, and even write memorials to ask for credit for her. Why would she want to harm me?
Is her heart black?
Gu Zhaolin was still furious when he heard Bai Wuchang say, "King of Hell, this child has sinned. Will he be reborn as an animal?"
After hearing this, Gu Zhaolin's mind, which was overwhelmed by anger, suddenly shuddered and he woke up instantly.
The King of Hell holds the Book of Life and Death in his hands, and with a stroke of his red pen, he can determine one's fate in the next life.
If he really ends up as an animal, his next life will be ruined.
He shouted loudly, "Unjust, Lord Yan, Lord Yan, I am innocent! I am the adopted son of the General Zhenxi, and I have been stationed in Xiping to protect the peace of the people. How, how could I be guilty?"
The King of Hell frowned, "What's going on? Did you make a mistake?"
Hei Wuchang flipped through the book in his hand and said, "Your Majesty, this boy poisoned the soldiers, killing tens of thousands of them. He then plotted to murder his adoptive father. He is a disloyal and unfilial person."
Upon hearing this, Gu Zhaolin's face turned pale and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
He wanted to quibble, but when he met the King of Hell's stern gaze, he felt as if his tongue weighed a thousand pounds.
At this moment, a cold wind suddenly blew into the hall, and the candlelight in the hall flickered. Then, there was a howling sound of the wind, like thousands of ghosts crying out for justice.
The King of Hell was displeased, "What's going on?"
Soon, a ghost messenger came forward to report, "King of Hell, these are the wronged souls of those killed by Gu Zhaolin during his lifetime. They are so resentful that they have refused to reincarnate. When they learned that Gu Zhaolin had gone to the underworld, they wanted to complain to the King of Hell, asking him to be sent to the eighteen levels of hell, where he would never be able to be reborn."
