Chapter 497
After Ning Caichen walked out of the Hall of Souls, he looked back, and then strode away.

Three days later, early in the morning, a large number of soul envoys from the Soul Palace came to see Ning Caichen off.

"My lord is going, I'm afraid I won't be able to see each other again in this life, and I will meet you in the underworld in the future, and then I will get drunk with your lord."

The lead soul envoy stepped forward and said to Ning Caichen.

Nowadays, because of the existence of the Underworld, people are no longer taboo to mention death. People in the Soul Palace often even think about what position they will get after death.

So now when death is mentioned, no one will blame it. Some people even say that if they die, they will at least be a judge in order to show their frankness.

But the specifics will only be known after death.

But Ning Caichen is different, Ning Caichen has basically booked a position in the underworld.

"Haha, I'm afraid we can only meet in the underworld when we meet again."

Ning Caichen said with a smile, he has been an official for more than years, and now he has achieved great success. Now that he resigns from office and lives in seclusion to spend the rest of his life, it is not unrestrained.

"My lord, these two will be responsible for escorting your lord's safety on the road."

Speaking of the soul envoy at the head, he pushed out two soul envoys.

Ning Caichen glanced at it, then shook his head.

"That's not necessary. I only need a poor horse and a cart and a driver, that's enough."

"But my lord..."

"I have a share in the governance of this world. If the law and order is so bad that even I need escorts, doesn't it mean that I have done nothing in the past few decades?
If the world is still like that, I will be killed if I am killed. There is no pity, and the people will point to my body and say that I am dead. "

Seeing what Ning Caichen said, the man had no choice but to agree, and sighed as he looked at the frame going away.

At this moment, a large number of people rushed in this direction, the leader was the emperor who had just ascended the throne, and behind him were all the civil and military officials.

Today's emperor is in his prime in his forties, and he pursues a policy of recuperation just like the previous emperor, so he is highly respected.

"Where's Ning Aiqing?"

The emperor asked the leading soul envoy.

"Your Excellency has already left. Because he didn't want to disturb His Majesty, he left at dawn."

"What are you bringing? Are there guards?"

"There are no guards, just a cart driver."

After hearing this, the emperor said anxiously.

"How can this be so? What if Ning Aiqing encounters trouble on the road?"

Seeing the emperor like this, the lead soul envoy repeated what Ning Caichen said just now.

"Ning Aiqing is so confident and easy..."

Seeing this, the emperor could only give Ning Caichen a large number of rewards, and left with all the civil and military officials.

……

Yingtian Mansion in the south of the Yangtze River.

"Master, Ying Tian Mansion is here, let's go to the city to rest."

The coachman drove his carriage into Yingtian Mansion, it was already evening, if he continued walking, he might sleep in the wild.

"Oh, let's go to the city. I often hear people say that the world is rich and prosperous in Jiangnan, and Jiangnan is rich in Yingtian. I hurriedly said goodbye 40 years ago. I only remember the dance of demons. How could I have a chance to see this rich and prosperous Jiangnan?"

Ning Caichen stepped out of the frame and looked at the pedestrians coming and going on the street.

Back then, the demons in Yingtian Mansion danced wildly, scaring Ning Caichen so much that he was only able to take a closer look at Ying Tianfu until today.

There are people coming and going on the street, but they all have smiles on their faces. There are often children playing and running around in the street, and the adults on the side of the road don't care.

After a while, a woman ran out with a broom. Seeing the woman running out, the child ran even faster.

In the next moment, he bumped into the sugar painting booth, smashing the sugar painting already painted on the booth to pieces.

Seeing that there was a disaster, the four or five children didn't dare to run anymore, and kept helping the stall owner clean up the stall.

This is when the woman has already arrived, and the woman didn't say anything, she just stepped forward to help clean up, and after cleaning up, she paid to buy the damaged sugar painting.

But the stall owner was reluctant, saying that these are all sugar, and you can paint after melting, but let the women not embarrass the children.

One is to be given, and the other is not to be given.

After struggling for a long time, the stall owner finally got the money, but he made four or five sugar paintings and gave them to the children.

The onlookers saw that the stall owner had good craftsmanship, so they gathered around him.

The stall owner smiled and began to paint.

Everyone's faces are full of smiles, only the children's faces are full of sadness, and even the sugar paintings in their hands don't feel so sweet.

They know the peace at this moment will be doubled back on their asses when they get home.

Ning Caichen looked at it and laughed. The woman had money on her body, and she didn't arouse the covetousness of the people around her when she took it out in the street.

Shopping was also orderly, and there was no queue jumping, which meant that this was not the first time, and queuing was already a subconscious habit.

"Come on, have some wine."

Ning Caichen led the coachman into a small restaurant, the restaurant was not luxurious, but there were quite a lot of people.

After opening his mouth to ask for a private room, he wanted to go out to have a look.

Asking the coachman to stay in the restaurant, Ning Caichen went out alone.

Ning Caichen came to the inner city of Yingtian Mansion alone, which was originally the Jianghe mansion of Wang Jiao, but now half of it has become the Jiangnan branch of the Soul Palace.

Many soul envoys in the hall are entering and leaving the hall at this moment, appearing quite busy.

Ning Caichen just glanced at it from a distance, then left without intending to go in.

If he enters with his identity, it will only make these souls panic and disrupt what everyone is doing, so it's better not to enter.

Ning Caichen walked all the way until night fell.

At night, a picture of King Qin Guang's trial of ghosts appeared in the sky. Some people looked up to watch with great interest, while others hurriedly packed their things and prepared to go home.

Only then did Ning Caichen realize that he had walked around for an hour unknowingly.

What attracted him the most in Yingtian Mansion was not the bustling place, but the streets and alleys, which were full of the atmosphere of life.

This breath made Ning Caichen extremely happy, the world finally changed, and the prosperous and prosperous age that brother Geng said had finally arrived.

This world is no longer the era when monsters run rampant in the countryside, the rotten trees above the court are officials, the world is difficult and the people's lives are suffering, and the mountains are full of thieves and their lives are as cheap as earth.

At this moment, there was a sound of gangsters.

Ning Caichen suddenly realized that he seemed to have lost his way. He wandered around alone, and he had long forgotten the way back.

Ning Caichen rushed in the direction of the watchman, wanting to let the watchman show the way.

Turning a corner, Ning Caichen saw the watchman beating the gong, but in a daze, he seemed to see a dark green flash of the lantern in the watchman's hand.

Just like the flashing color of Li Pu's lantern when he was at the gate of Hecheng.

Ning Caichen shook his head, and was about to step forward to ask, but saw that the watchman had disappeared.

Ning Caichen was a little surprised, how did this watchman just stand on the street, but how did he disappear?
Ning Caichen felt strange, he stepped forward to the place where the watchman was standing just now, and when he looked around, he found that the tavern he was staying in was right in front of him.
