Although he didn't like Xia Yu very much, Sun Rui still recognized Xia Yu's abilities.

Xia Yu is very efficient in handling supernatural incidents. If it is an ordinary supernatural incident, Xia Yu will simply brush it off.

Therefore, Sun Rui wanted to see what Xia Yu thought about that ghost area, and it would be best if he could go there alone.

The scope of that ghost domain is so huge that it is simply terrifying. Not to mention other abilities, just the ability to establish files in this ghost domain starts at level A.

In Sun Rui's opinion, if Xia Yu could handle this incident, everyone would be happy.

However, Xia Yu's next words dispelled Sun Rui's thoughts of standing by and watching.

"I want you to join forces with me to get rid of that evil spirit." Xia Yu quickly expressed his thoughts on the other end of the phone.

"As the two of us in charge of Dahan City, there are things we must do. That ghost area is coming towards Dahan City, and we can't avoid it." Xia Yu continued.

Sun Rui was silent for a while, then said, "Okay!"

Sun Rui knew that Xia Yu was right. As the person in charge, he had to shoulder the responsibility.

That ghost area was obviously heading towards Dahan City. It would be fine if they just passed by like they did in the morning, but if it broke out in Dahan City, they would inevitably be involved in the incident.

The most important thing is that Sun Rui and Xia Yu are both from the older generation of ghost controllers, and they themselves are ghost controllers who can control two ghosts.

He has strong abilities and a lot of experience in dealing with supernatural events.

If the two of them join forces, they can handle even a level A supernatural incident without being completely defenseless.

"How do we meet up? The ghostland is moving very fast. I'm afraid we'll be pulled into the ghostland before we can meet up together."

Sun Rui looked at the black ghost area that was getting closer and closer and asked.

"Don't worry about the reunion. Come downstairs now and wait for me in the lobby on the first floor. I'll come find you." Xia Yu said.

Hearing this, Sun Rui had more questions in his mind, but he did not ask them, but replied "OK".

After saying that, Sun Rui put the phone in his clothes pocket.

The call was not hung up and remained in the conversation state, so that one could get a limited idea of ​​the other party's current condition and whether he was attacked by ghosts.

This satellite positioning mobile phone distributed by the headquarters has undergone special processing and can isolate the influence of supernatural forces to a certain extent, so it has a signal.

Then Sun Rui walked out of the office, leaning on his crutches, and limping towards the elevator.

Unlike Sun Rui, Xia Yu, who was in the office on the top floor of Tianyu Commercial Building, was much more prepared.

There was a red candle and a white candle on the desk, and next to the desk, there was a silver spear standing upright.

After hesitating for a moment, Xia Yu took out a small golden box from his pocket. The box was made of gold.

When the box was opened, three rusty coffin nails were found inside.

Xia Yu had a total of six nails, and three of them were wrapped in gold foil and hidden nearly 10,000 meters underground in his villa.

Xia Yu had the confidence to face the evil spirit in the darkness because of these coffin nails.

In Xia Yu's opinion, these coffin nails could nail down the starving ghost that was the source of the S-level supernatural events, so they should be able to nail down the ghost outside as well.

After quickly packing up his things, a layer of black light appeared on Xia Yu's body. This was his ghost realm.

Ever since the last battle with Ye Zhen, the ghost heart was eroded by the ghost bones, and the purple ghost domain turned black.

A black light flashed, and Xia Yu's figure disappeared in the office.

After the ghost bones eroded the ghost heart, Xia Yu's two evil ghosts were surprisingly balanced. He could even use the ghost realm to travel without worrying about the evil ghosts reviving.

In Dahan City, more than half of the area suddenly became dark.

It was broad daylight, but it was like a total solar eclipse, with not a single ray of light.

A huge, ink-black ghost domain enveloped the area, and everything covered by the ghost domain fell into darkness.

Chapter 83: Boruto, Sasuke, and the Moon who traveled through time...?

Er Er felt embarrassed and blushed. She grabbed the emperor's hand and said, "... Then, Your Majesty, are you going to return the rewards to all the ministers in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs? If not, then you should not return the reward to He Shitai alone. Even though he just took office, this incident is also an experience for him, and it is also a reminder for him to be more diligent in his work in the future."

The emperor sighed deeply, gently scratched Er'er'er's nose, and couldn't help but say, "...If Xiaoshu had been as broad-minded as you and was willing to remind his brothers like this, then how could Shengzhu have made such a big mistake later, leading to his being stripped of his title and punished, and bringing disaster to his children and grandchildren after his death?"

The emperor patted Er'er's hand and said, "Don't worry. I know that you are in a dilemma because of He Shitai. Therefore, even if I am anxious to return his second-rank official title, I cannot let him go alone, lest he stand out from the crowd... I have returned all those who were demoted before!"

"The ministers who were demoted to the position of General Manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Yinghe, Amin'a, and Heshitai, were awarded the second-rank hat, and Suleng'e and Changfu, the third-rank hat."

Er Er was relieved that He Shitai was fine, but she couldn't help but feel a little moved by the emperor's decree.

——These ministers in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs were all punished by the emperor because they were implicated in Guangxing's embezzlement of the harem's silk and cloth expenses. The emperor just returned all their hats and reinstated them, just like the emperor took back his original order.

Does that mean that the emperor has reconsidered Guangxing's decision to withhold the harem's expenses?

Since the emperor has pardoned the crimes of several ministers in charge of the Imperial Household Department, does that mean that he will also show the same mercy to Guangxing?

Er Er's mind was slightly moved, and he couldn't help but smile and said, "The emperor just mentioned that when a minister is convicted, his children and grandchildren will be implicated. This is the custom of all dynasties, but our Qing Dynasty is more benevolent than the previous dynasty. Even if the descendants of a convicted minister, as long as they work hard and make progress, they can still gain the trust of the emperor."

"Speaking of the Minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs being rewarded with a hat, I can't help but think of the Gao Jia family. Although Gao Heng, Gao Pu and others in their family were confiscated and executed for corruption, this did not affect the Gao family's children Gao Jin, Gao Qi, Guanglin and others who have served in the court for many years. The emperor still uses them as he pleases, and it has not been affected."

Er Er gently pointed at the emperor's heart and said, "Your Majesty, you are a magnanimous ruler."

"Let alone the Gao family, even Fu Chang'an, who was the second main culprit in Heshen's treason case, was spared by the emperor, and he also gave him and his son back their positions as guards, allowing them to continue to serve the court."

"If the emperor can do this to Fu Chang'an, then there is no one else in the court that the emperor cannot forgive, right?"

After Er Er finished speaking, she carefully watched the emperor's reaction. She hoped that the emperor would raise his eyes and smile, saying, "I have also asked them to reconsider Guangxing's matter"...

Unfortunately, the emperor just sat down sullenly, lowered his head, picked up the tea bowl himself, and looked at the lid of the bowl.

The glaze halo was silent for a long time.

Er Er felt a little heavy in his heart, so he sat down as well, keeping silent.

Perhaps today was not a good time, and the gate in the emperor's heart had not yet loosened. Then she would wait a little longer, lest she speak hastily and make the emperor unable to accept it.

There was no conversation that night. Both of them were feeling heavy-hearted, so they just slept side by side without saying anything more.

The next day, the emperor left, and Ershier ordered Wukui to invite He Shitai.

He Shitai was awarded the second-rank hat and was supposed to come in to express his gratitude, which was also a suitable reason.

He Shitai was naturally very excited. He bowed to Er Er as soon as he came in, "...Thank you, sister and brother-in-law! Not only did I get the second-rank hat, but my third brother has already been selected as a blue-feathered guard at the age of fourteen. My brother-in-law really cares about our family. Everyone in the family is very happy and says that this is all thanks to sister."

Er Er knew that because of the good news from her second and third brothers, the dark clouds over the family had all dissipated, and she felt much more at ease. However, she couldn't be as happy as her brother, as she had more important things on her mind.

Er Er just smiled faintly, "This is also a warning to you. Although many people are jealous of the job of the Minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, many people are also watching this job. If you make the slightest mistake, not to mention that I will be the first to disregard you, there are many pairs of eyes that have already seen your mistakes, and naturally someone will report you."

He Shitai smiled with shame, "I have never forgotten my sister's teachings over the years. If I really made a mistake, I would not only not protect me, but I would definitely be the first one to punish me..."

Er Er nodded, "…The Emperor has approved the marriage of my third brother. Since he has been selected as a blue-feathered guard this year, he will have someone to propose marriage. So let father prepare it."

The wife of 22's uncle is a princess from the imperial clan, and this uncle is one year older than 22. Since 22's father-in-law was the eldest brother, he raised 22 together with his brothers and sisters. Therefore, although they are one generation apart in seniority, they are like brothers in affection.

And the young aunt is three years younger than Ershier, so there is no distinction between generations. The young aunt is always trying to find a princess from the royal family as a wife for Ershier's third brother Ji Luntai... But princesses from the royal family can't be married casually like ordinary people, they have to be brought together by the clan affairs office, and some even have to be reported to the emperor.

In the past, Ji Luntai was still young, and he had no job. Even though he was the Queen's brother, he was too embarrassed to go directly to the royal family to propose marriage. But this year, since Ji Luntai had been selected as a blue-feathered guard, Er Er took the opportunity to mention it in front of the Emperor. The Emperor was naturally happy and arranged a marriage for him directly. This was called the third brother's good fortune in pairs.

He Shitai clapped his hands in joy after hearing this. "My elder sister is now the empress, my second and third sisters have married into the palace, and now my third brother is also marrying a princess from the royal family... This is really a happy thing for our family!"

After saying the happy words,

He asked slowly, "...I remember that Ama and Guangxing seemed to have some personal relationship?"

When Guangxing was mentioned, even He Shitai's heart trembled, and the joy on his face and heart temporarily faded away. He just answered carefully, "After all, father and Guangxing are officials in the same court. They have exchanges in their respective departments, so they are familiar with each other. Moreover, Guangxing is from the family of Huixian Imperial Noble Consort's mother, and our family is Danchan of my sister, so the two families have some exchanges."

"Besides, sister, I know my father's personality very well. He loves to call his friends over and drink with them. Guangxing is also quite straightforward, so there have been several times when he came to our house and drank with my father and friends..."

Er Er Er nodded, "Since Guang Xing is also like this, as the saying goes, truth comes out after drinking, I think Ama can also speak his mind to him."

He Shitai looked at Er Er cautiously, "...I can't say we are bosom friends, but it's still okay."

Er Er's eyes dropped quietly. "Since Guangxing was dismissed from his post for embezzling the harem's expenses and then the emperor ordered an investigation into his affairs in Shandong and Henan, has he met with him?"

He Shitai's face changed, and he stammered, "...We have never met before. Father is our father after all. He only knew that Guangxing dared to disrespect sister's decree and deliberately added dozens of unusable brown yarn to sister's palace satin. Father was so angry that he slammed the table and said that he had really misjudged Guangxing and would definitely break off his friendship with him."

"So, how could Ama be willing to see him again when he was angry? Moreover, it was the height of the storm at that time, and Guangxing himself was also confined to reflect on his mistakes. How could he go out and wander around?"

Er Er lowered his eyes and listened quietly, "...Even if we haven't met, have you ever sent someone to pass on a message, or exchanged letters or texts?"

He Shitai didn't dare to speak anymore.

Er Er Er sighed, "I knew that after this happened, Guang Xing would definitely try to write to Ama and ask Ama to pass it on to me. After all...his incident was caused by my disrespect for me, and he wants to defend himself from this starting point."

He Shitai said hurriedly, "Ama didn't want to accept it! Ama was still angry that he was disrespectful to my sister! Yes, it was the gatekeeper who didn't know the importance of the things his servant brought, and the gatekeeper thought it was something important, so he accepted it! When it was delivered to Ama, Ama had already rejected it and said he would throw it back and would never show it to my sister!"

"Don't worry, sister. When I get home today, I will personally send it back to his family and tell him to give up on this idea!"

Er Er raised his eyes quietly, "I guess at this time, people must come to his door to return all kinds of things from morning to night. He has already been sentenced to death, and the amount of embezzlement is huge. The emperor is so angry, then everyone in the world wants to clear himself from him, and they are afraid of being implicated by him."

"When a wall falls, everyone pushes it down. The world is like this..."

He Shitai was stunned, and for a moment he didn't know whether to continue speaking or to throw it back, or what to do next.

Er Er stared at He Shitai and said, "Take the things he gave to Ama. Tomorrow you will go to the palace to be a

It is worth it, so I sent it to me. I want to see what he said to my father, and what he wants me to know..."

"Now that officials from Shandong and Henan have provided so much evidence of his crimes, I wonder if he has anything to say to defend himself."

Two days later, He Shitai sorted out Guangxing's letters, carefully brought them into the palace, and presented them to Er'er.

"…The delay over the past two days is because Guangxing wrote several times in a row, and there are a lot of overlaps in the descriptions, and they are also upside down, and then I came back to change them. Therefore, I reorganized it at home over the past two days and brought it in for my sister to read."

Er Er nodded, "I understand. He was originally trusted by the emperor and had been enjoying a good life for many years. Who would have thought that things would suddenly change? He was not prepared at all. When he said these words, he was already confused, so naturally he was talking nonsense."

Er Er looked up at He Shitai and said, "It doesn't matter if he's confused. As long as it's just because of his confused mind and not because he's making up excuses to cover it up, it's fine."

He Shitai said hurriedly, "Sister, you are right. I was also worried about this, so I personally re-read his words and asked someone to secretly check his words. I copied everything that could be verified and sent it to you, sister."

Er Er sighed with satisfaction, "You are also cautious. If you re-copy it, it will no longer be Guangxing's handwriting. When you bring it into the palace, even if it is occasionally lost, people will not know it is Guangxing's fault..."

He Shitai blushed slightly, "This is about my sister, how dare I be rude to her?"

Er Er Er nodded, "You go back first. I want to go and read what he wrote quietly by myself."

The next day, the Ministry of Internal Affairs received another message. Yinghe, as the Minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, led people to search Guangxing's house again. They found that Guangxing had destroyed the deeds and documents in his house in advance! To outsiders, this was destroying evidence. Yinghe searched carefully and found some silver, real estate and other properties hidden in Guangxing's house, and reported it to the emperor.

The emperor therefore rewarded Yinghe with the flower feather.

Not only was Yinghe rewarded with his flower feather, but also several sixth-rank foreign servants and sixth-rank translators who had accompanied Yinghe in the confiscation of property were all rewarded with salaries and hats.

This made it even clearer that the emperor was determined to sentence Guangxing to death.
