Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 315 Li Linfu

The commotion in the mansion continued until the sky was about to dawn before it stopped.

And the four guards Wu Fei, Ma Dong, Niu Er, and Xing Shan were also quarreled all night, and they knew in their hearts that there were ghosts haunting outside, so they were so worried that they couldn't sleep.

However, worrying is nothing to worry about, but in fact, no ghost entered their room.

It looks dangerous, but it is actually very safe.

Because these ghosts are restrained by the long-bearded ghost king, they are not the kind of lonely ghosts in the mountains who will kill people at will.

So their worries are unnecessary.

However, when the few of them walked out of the room, the scene in front of them suddenly surprised them.

"What's going on, where is this place? Did we go to the wrong place?" Wu Fei touched his bald head with a look of astonishment.

In front of their eyes, yesterday's familiar weeds were everywhere, and the dilapidated mansion changed overnight. The ground was neat and clean, with no trace of weeds or dust. The house and the lobby were brand new. The original wood was restored overnight, brand new, with freshly dried paint.

No matter how you look at it, it looks like a newly built mansion, not like an abandoned mansion at all.

This is the former prime minister's mansion, which was very grand at first, but because it was occupied by the ghost king, no one took care of it, and it was abandoned for a long time. Now that it has been repaired and restored to its original appearance, it gives people a very different feeling.

"We're probably running into evil again. This must be a hallucination, hallucination, something transformed by ghosts, it's not real." Ma Dong also said in surprise.

But when he looked up and looked into the distance, he saw that the winter morning light had already fallen, and the blue tiles on the roof were covered with a layer of golden light.

It's daytime.

According to what the young master said, the method of transforming ghosts will most likely fail under the sunlight during the day, because the transformation of ghosts is blessed by a ghostly energy, and this ghostly energy will be dispelled under the sun, so the illusion will also be ineffective. It is useless.

When several people suspected that it was an illusion, a method of transformation, Li Xiuyuan came to the lobby again.

Because he heard a ghost calling himself constantly.

"It's you again, you showed off a bit yesterday, why are you calling me again today?" Li Xiuyuan sat on a chair and looked at the middle-aged man in official uniform on the wall of the lobby.

At this moment, the middle-aged man is not as indifferent as yesterday, but still has a flattering smile on his face.

"Damn it, damn it, you don't know Taishan, you don't recognize Mr. Li, and Mr. Li is here, so what's the ghost king?" The middle-aged man said with a flattering smile.

"." Li Xiuyuan gave him a strange look.

This ghost changed his face too quickly, it wasn't like this before.

"But speaking of it, I have to thank you very much. You persuaded me to leave here yesterday. You must know that there is a ghost king entrenched here. You are afraid that we will be killed. After all, you are still helping me. It's just that yesterday I thought you were the owner of this mansion. Scattered and entrenched here, unwilling to give up the mansion, I didn't expect that you are not, the ghost king is the master here." Li Xiuyuan saluted him after finishing speaking.

Although the ghost had a bad attitude yesterday, he was saving himself and others.

Although I don't need to be saved, I have to admit this feeling.

"Hehe, Mr. Li, you are being polite. You are being polite. The kid just mentioned one or two points. There are too many people who are afraid to die here. The karma is all on the kid's head." The middle-aged man laughed.

"Even if someone died here, the blame is still on the ghost king, how could it be on your head?" Li Xiuyuan said.

The middle-aged man said helplessly: "The little ghost was the earliest owner of this mansion. After he died, he hid here because he had nowhere to go. Later, the ghost king occupied this place and used it as a ghost house. He saw that the little ghost was still useful, so he let the little ghost live in it." Being a housekeeper here, managing the mansion for him, if someone dies, it still has something to do with it, if you can save a few more people, it can be regarded as accumulating merit."

"So that's the case, but this mansion is the mansion of the prime minister of the former dynasty. The ghost king has been entrenched here for hundreds of years. After calculation, the time has come to the former dynasty. I don't know who you are?" Li Xiuyuan asked suspiciously.

"Heh, heh, the kid is the former prime minister." The middle-aged man smiled embarrassedly.

"Ok?"

Li Xiuyuan looked shocked, he looked at the painting on the wall.

It is true that he is wearing the official uniform of the previous dynasty, and the clothes are still purple. In the previous dynasty, purple official uniforms must reach a certain level to be eligible to wear, and there are not many officials who can wear purple official uniforms in the whole dynasty, but Prime Minister is one of them.

"Are you the prime minister of the previous dynasty? As far as I know, there were at least a few hundred prime ministers of the previous dynasty. I don't know who you are?" Li Xiuyuan asked with some doubts.

Officials who can reach the level of prime minister are all people with profound merit. After death, they will generally be named as Yin gods, or city gods, or heavenly officials. How could they be reduced to old ghosts in this old house?
"The little ghost was the prime minister during Xuanzong's period. He shares the same surname as Mr. Li. It's really a fate. His nickname is Ge Nu, and his real name is Lin Fu." The middle-aged official said with a flattering smile, even saying his nickname.

"So your name is Li Linfu, wait, wait, Li Linfu, Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty?"

Li Xiuyuan hadn't reacted before, but when he did, he almost bit his tongue behind him.

"No, that's right, the kid is Li Linfu."

The middle-aged official said with a smile on his face, that smile was flattering with kindness and respect, no matter how you looked at it, it was not annoying.

Li Xiuyuan asked again: "People in the world say that you are a sinister villain, is it true?"

"That's a rumour, pure rumour."

Li Linfu became a little ashamed and angry: "Those scholars are insulting my innocence. Can the battle in the court be called insidious? If I don't kill them, they will kill me. This is a life-and-death struggle."

"I heard that you brought down the previous dynasty?" Li Xiuyuan looked at him strangely and said.

Li Linfu was also very excited and said: "This is slander, it is slander, can I destroy the country alone? Why did the world blame Yang Guang for the collapse of the Sui Dynasty? No one blamed those aristocratic families for rebellion? Why did they blame them when the Han Dynasty was destroyed? Dong Zhuo caused chaos, no one blamed Cao Pi for usurping the Han? Besides, it was Yang Guozhong who blamed the chaos. When I was alive, An Lushan would never dare to rebel. It was Yang Guozhong, an idiot who wanted to kill An Lushan but was not cruel. As a result, Xuanzong recruited An Lushan to Beijing to express his intentions, but in fact he took the opportunity to harm him. As long as An Lushan is not stupid, he will rebel against such an obvious move, otherwise he will be killed sooner or later."

"His methods are much worse than mine, and this has led to a disaster. If I act, I will kill him on the way before An Lushan enters the capital. Even if it fails, An Lushan can only If you can rebel in a hurry, it will never happen in the end.”

"It's all the fault of Yang Guozhong's pig. It's really a pig. I don't know what's going on in my head. It ruined my whole life."

After he finished speaking, he looked up to the sky and sighed deeply, as if he died before he could succeed in his mission.

But when someone heard his name, Li Linfu, they probably wouldn't think so.

"." Seeing his excited words, Li Xiuyuan couldn't help understanding his feelings.

Although Li Linfu is not considered a good prime minister, he still has the ability to assist in governing the country. Although his methods are more ruthless, his words are also correct. Can a battle in the court be called a battle?

Who doesn't play tricks in the court?

It's just that Li Linfu played harder and was criticized by others.

But you are a bit bragging when you say that you have been wise all your life.
"You were prime minister during your lifetime, even if you are not named City God or Yin God after death, you should still be reincarnated. Why are you here as a ghost?" Li Xiuyuan said.

Li Linfu said with a sneer: "There were too many grievances in life, and there are many enemies after death, so I can only hide here and just survive."

".Didn't you say you were famous in your lifetime?" Li Xiuyuan asked.

"The little ghost was implicated by that pig, and his wisdom was ruined." Li Linfu said.

Li Xiuyuan looked at him; "I really didn't expect that you, the prime minister who ruled the country's affairs, would fall into this field after death. It seems that people really can't do too much evil when they are alive. I can't stand tossing."

"Yes, yes, yes, what Mr. Li said is very true. The little devil has regretted it now. He fought for half his life before his death. After death, he is not as good as those subordinates before."

Li Linfu said bitterly, although it was hundreds of years apart, every time I think of it, I regret it.

He did the evil, and he deserved the retribution, but the benefits were enjoyed by his subordinates.

"Since this is your mansion, then you can continue to live here in the future, as long as you don't disturb me, it's getting late now, I want to go out for a while, so I won't chat with you." Li Xiuyuan said.

Li Linfu hurriedly said: "Mr. Li, the kid has a request, please allow Mr. Li."

"Oh, what request do you have? I will do my best for the sake of your helping me yesterday, but I will not agree to excessive things." Li Xiuyuan said.

Li Linfu smiled flatteringly; "Actually, it's not too much. Didn't the kid serve as a housekeeper under the command of the Ghost King before, but now the mansion has been replaced by Mr. Li. The kid wants to be Mr. Li's butler. I wonder if he has the honor?"

"Oh, why do you have such an idea?" Li Xiuyuan said: "The ghost king manages the cycle of life and death in a city. It is not bad for you to follow him. He also has a reputation and can protect you well."

"The ghost king doesn't trust the little ghost, and the little ghost is not even allowed to go out of the house." Li Linfu said.

Li Xiuyuan smiled and said: "Your name is like thunder, Li Linfu, who dares to trust you, the country has been ruined by you, how dare the ghost king use you, but the ghost king dare not use it, but I dare to use it. Let me be the housekeeper, it just so happens that I also lack some talented ghosts and gods, you were talented as a prime minister during your lifetime, and it would be a waste of talent to be my housekeeper after death."

"Unyielding talent, the honor in life has long since vanished, and now the little ghost is like starting from the beginning. Mr. Li can give the little ghost this opportunity, and the little ghost is grateful." Li Linfu said a little excitedly.

After so many years, he finally looked forward to a chance to stand up.

It's not that he doesn't want to be reincarnated, but he doesn't dare. He hasn't cleansed his ass of sins, and reincarnated will be a life of hardship. How can he be willing to be a prime minister and enjoy the wealth and honor in the world.
