The mastermind behind the scenes is a high-ranking official in the DPRK. His surname, real name, given name, alias, origin, official position, assignment, etc. are all numerous to mention.

Zhong Sheng was confused and simply called him a dog official.

This generation is a hero of Conglong. Before the start of the Tang Dynasty, he followed the emperor to work.

Logically speaking, if you are a minister in court, not to mention that the prime minister can hold a boat, he should also have a big heart and courage!

However, this dog official was narrow-minded. Seeing that Zhong Kui came from a poor family, he secretly used a trick to make him fail.

Zhong Kui was dissatisfied and went to the palace to cry out for injustice and hit a pillar and died.

After his death, he used evil methods to suppress him in the name of being examined and buried.

"I offended him during my lifetime, and I was retaliated against after my death."

"The dog official is unkind, the Emperor of Tang is fatuous, and I, Zhong Kui, will not accept it."

Zhong Dao looked at the innocent souls behind him and said, "This dog official has done all the bad things and deserves to be killed."

A large number of people were walking through the streets and alleys. This is where dignitaries live. Every house is brightly lit, and people are drinking and having fun.

Nuo festivals and theater performances are a carnival for ordinary people. As for the rich and powerful, they have other entertainment methods.

"Don't come close."

Zhong Dao saw a few wandering souls who couldn't tell the direction and almost ran into other people's houses, so he hurriedly stopped.

Every family in the city, as long as they have some family status, have some means of housekeeping.

For example, at the beginning of the construction of the mansion, because the northeast corner was the place where evil spirits gathered, a large stone was buried in the foundation and engraved with "Taishan Stone Gandang" as a anchor for the house.

There are even more officials and dignitaries who build family temples, worship Buddha statues, and invite eminent monks to sit in their homes.

These people are not easy to mess with. Once they collide, it is easy to cause trouble.

There is a square courtyard in front, divided into seven or eight courtyards, facing south and north, with solemn green tiles and the door of the house opening in the southeast corner.

"This kennel is quite impressive."

Zhong Kui sneered a few times, waved his hand, and the innocent souls flew into the sky and rushed towards the courtyard.

In an instant, the howling of ghosts and wolves sounded in the air, like an iron cone piercing the brain, and the cold wind and rain enveloped every corner.

Several servants and maids walking in the courtyard fell unconscious on the spot.

A sudden change occurred, and the entire courtyard suddenly began to fight back spontaneously.

It shoots out purple gas and golden light, causing the evil ghosts to scream in pain.

Zhong Kui was not surprised by this. How could the palace of a high official in the imperial court not be decorated?

"Don't panic, don't be chaotic, close the door tightly, don't let external evil take advantage of you."

The dog officer's voice came from far away from the inner courtyard.

"There are gods three feet above your head, but gods protect evil people and do not distinguish between right and wrong!"

Zhong Kui stared angrily and jumped into the air. Black clouds rolled and gathered around him, covering the entire courtyard. The cold wind was mixed with a few drops of cold rain, which began to fall sparsely from the sky.

"I, Zhong Kui, have now turned into an evil ghost and come to seek justice."

"You have the final say in the Yang world, but in the underworld, it is I, Zhong Kui, who administers justice, punishes rape and eliminates evil."

The things in the house were buzzing, and ordinary evil spirits could be driven away, but Zhong Kui was a great evil ghost that rarely appeared in thousands of years.

But I saw the black wind rolling in, flying sand and rocks violently beating on the doors and windows of the rooms in various parts of the courtyard.

The dog officer and his family members in the room were all trembling, hugging the pillar and closing their eyes tightly.

Zhong Sheng glanced around. The other wealthy families were still calm, and they seemed to be unable to see any movement here.

"Everyone sweeps the snow in front of their own door, and don't worry about the frost on other people's tiles!"

These homes are more or less glowing with purple energy and golden light, and the house-building tools have worked.

However, no one came out to check or help Gouguan's family.

Black smoke billowed around Zhong Kui, like a god or demon descending into the world. Countless wronged souls around him were shouting and shouting, and the king who surrounded them was coming.

At a certain moment, the objects in the house cracked open, and the golden light and purple energy faded away like a tide.

"Hahaha, God won't help you"

Zhong Kui brought a group of wronged souls to the courtyard, turned into a black wind, and crashed into the inner courtyard.

After a moment, he grabbed a middle-aged official and flew into the air.

"Guan Guan, do you still recognize me, Zhong Kui?"

The middle-aged official recognized him and scolded him sternly, "Zhong Kui, the son of Zhongnan, you rushed into the official residence and held the court officials hostage. You, you, you..."

He suddenly remembered that Zhong Kui was dead, and what was in front of him was an evil ghost threatening to kill him.

Both buttocks were released on the spot, warm currents spurted out, and the crotch was submerged in a large area of ​​warmth, wetness and smoothness.

This smells so strong!

"Let me eat him, dog official."

"Do you still remember me? With just one move of your lips, you killed my whole family."

"Guan Gu, you sent someone to kill me just for that shop."

"..."

The innocent souls around him roared and shouted, stretching out their hands and opening their mouths, wishing to cut him into pieces on the spot.

Zhong Sheng saw that his evil deeds were a hundred times worse than those of Zhongnan Prefecture and his son, "Second uncle, if you are still talking nonsense, I will kill you."

The dog officer was speechless, not knowing whether to distinguish or to beg for mercy.

"Guan Guan, listen carefully. The sun will shine brightly and retribution will come."

"Today is your retribution."

Zhong Kui raised his hand and thrust it into the dog officer's back. When he pulled it out, there was no trace of blood.

He regarded the dog officer as rubbish, threw it randomly among the flowers and trees in the courtyard, turned around and left.

Zhong Sheng was puzzled, so he caught up and asked, "Second uncle, aren't you going to kill his whole family?"

"There are experts guarding Chang'an, so things can't get too big."

"What's more, Mr. Fang is parading along the street. We must get away as soon as possible to get out of the city and be free."

Zhong Sheng remembered hearing the mysterious warning voice when he entered the city and suppressed the murderous intention in his heart.

According to his original plan, even Li Er's father wanted to chop him into pieces to vent his anger on his second uncle.

After a long time, the dog officer woke up and touched his back. His clothes were intact and there were no wounds. He thought he had a nightmare.

Thinking of the hateful Zhong Kui in his dream, he gritted his teeth and said, "You're such a Han family member, you can't live without death. I'll ask the eminent monk to recite the incantation and practice it so that your soul will be gone."

The next day, he woke up with a lump on his back and felt heartbreaking pain when touched.

The mass was as big as a fist at first, and I could not walk, sit or lie down. It grew bigger and bigger.

Later, he grew older day by day, and the pain in his heart and lungs made him unable to eat and unable to sleep at night.

I consulted all the famous doctors in the city and took countless medicinal patches, but nothing improved.

Later, I invited a senior monk to come and see me. As soon as he walked to the door, his expression changed drastically, and he turned around and left.

"Take care of funeral affairs as soon as possible."

A few days later, the lump grew into the size of a calf, taking on a human-like outline, and hugged the dog officer tightly.

"It hurts, kill me, let me die!"

The room was filled with the smell of medicinal soup. The dog officer lay on the bed moaning continuously, his breath was weak, he no longer wanted to live, he just wanted to die happily.

The dog officer's wives, concubines, and family members gathered around the bed, crying and crying, but no one dared to take action.

The dog officer's eyes were dull and he murmured to himself, "I shouldn't regret it, I shouldn't regret it!"

No one can understand whether he regrets or not. What exactly does he regret?

There is nothing I can do. I have committed so many sins that I can’t even count them.

"The master has gone."

Amid the cries, the dog officer breathed his last breath with endless regret.

Oddly enough, the moment he closed his eyes and died, the swelling on his back quickly dried up like a popped balloon.

By the time he was buried, the dog's body shape had returned to normal, with no trace of any swelling visible.
