566 A Little Favor

Shi Zhongkui didn't believe what King Qin Guang said: "I hope the world of Li and Tang will prosper forever." He was really thinking about the people of the world.

Otherwise, in the Five Hus and Sixteen Kingdoms before the Sui Dynasty, during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, why didn't we see him taking the lead for the stability of the world?

Without even guessing, Shi Zhongkui knew that there must be some kind of deal between the Western Sect and the Ten Palaces of Yama.

And after Li Shimin enters the underworld and travels around, and his soul returns to the sun, do you think he will be more respectful to the Tenth Palace of Hell?

There is no need to think about it, Lao Li will definitely plan for the end of his life and return to the underworld again.

Even in order to reincarnate and continue to be an emperor, it is normal to build temples and enshrine Yamas in the ten palaces.

In this way, the Western Sect will make a profit, and the Lord of the Tenth Hall, and even Judge Cui and others who entertained Li Shimin, will also benefit a lot.

What's the benefit to you if you just do this?

King Yama saw Shi Zhongkui's dissatisfied expression and knew that he was just pretending to be unwilling to help for no reason.

As for the reputation of the Tenth Palace Yama, the three Yama Lords did not think that they and others could make Shi Zhongkui compromise.

In turn, he was often needed in heaven to help him say good things in front of the Jade Emperor.

No matter how bad it is, you must not offend him, lest you take advantage of your status as the Jade Emperor's nephew and son-in-law to sue him every day.

King Yama smiled and said to Judge Cui, "Thank you, Mr. Cui, please go and invite the Xue brothers, Jia Shuli and Jia Dianbo from Dongyue Taishan Prefecture to come over and be our guests."

When Shi Zhongkui saw that King Yama had asked Judge Cui to invite Xue Pan, Xue Biao, Jia Rong and Jia Lan to come over, he couldn't tell what he was thinking.

Secretly angry.

It is a dream to think that you can satisfy yourself with small favors.

But no matter how dissatisfied, Xue Pan and Xue Pan are the biological brothers of Baochai and Baoqin, and the future biological uncles of their children. If they don't take care of them, they will inevitably be scolded for being cold-hearted and having no affection at all.

Once you are labeled like this, not to mention that the style you have built for 500 years will collapse, and the back house will also be unstable.

The most important thing is that although the gods and gods of this era are also selfish, they are not as straightforward and unscrupulous as modern society.

In officialdom and interpersonal relationships, a good reputation is still very important.

Even if you are pretending, you have to pretend to be a good person, or at least a kind person.

Fortunately, Xue Pan and Xue Biao are not mud, nor are they complete vampires.

Given the opportunity to give them a hand, Shi Zhongkui's rejection was not so strong in his heart.

And in Shi Zhongkui's mind, this was just an appetizer.

As for Jia Lan and Jia Rong, one is a disciple and the other was willing to be his lackey many years ago.

It is normal to get benefits from being a helper to your boss.

Of course, Shi Zhongkui would not harm his own interests for their sake.

When Judge Cui saw that Shi Zhongkui had no objection, he felt relieved and resigned, going to summon Xue Pan and others.

Moreover, this negotiation was also good for him, otherwise he would not have been so active in helping Shi Zhongkui back then.

Not to mention that he would not take all the responsibility for punishing Zhu Bajie on himself and have to go down to earth to be punished.

It took hundreds of years before he could return to the underworld and continue to be a judge.

Half an hour later, the four anxious Xue Pans walked in followed by Judge Cui and the polite Black and White Wuchang. When they saw Shi Zhongkui sitting upright, they felt relieved.

Although because of Shi Zhongkui's relationship, the underworld has always been very polite and caring to him and others, but this was only the second time he entered the Nether Palace.

The first time is naturally when you die of old age and your soul returns to the underworld.

Shi Zhongkui stood up, greeted him with a smile and cupped his hands, "I haven't seen you for a few days. How are Brother Pan, Brother Zhu and Ronger doing lately?"

Xue Biao, Jia Lan and Jia Rong were as steady as ever. They bowed to the three Lords of Hell first and then returned the salute to Shi Zhongkui.

Xue Pan smiled broadly and said to Xiang, "It's not the same as before. Apart from the fact that it takes a lot of effort to play in the human world, there are only those places where you can have fun living in this underworld."

Shi Zhongkui rolled his eyes at Xue Pan, this guy is a complete playboy and has never thought about making money.

Fortunately, although he did not marry the daughter of a famous family as his official wife, he did marry more than a dozen oiran ladies, dozens of children, and even more grandchildren.

After hundreds of years of family division and multiplication, every year during the Qingming Festival, paper money and offerings were received with little mercy, so that the two Xue brothers had no shortage of money in the underworld.

Including Baochai, Baoqin was the only elder of Aunt Xue alive at that time. After Aunt Xue passed away, the gifts the two sisters sent to Xue's house in the underworld during the New Year and holidays were calculated in terms of cars.

Moreover, there are real Yinde silver, all kinds of jade and red hairpins, cattle, sheep and livestock, silk and satin, and other properties with great purchasing power.

Shi Zhongkui didn't want to keep Xue Pan and Xue Biao all the time, but he really had no reason not to be filial to his mother-in-law, let alone to object to his wives and concubines being filial to their mother and aunt.

As for Baochai's biological father and Baoqin's biological father and mother, they had already been reincarnated that year and there was no need to serve them.

Just the gift Aunt Xue received was enough for Xue Pan and the two brothers Xue Pan to live a wealthy life in the underworld, and they could also use the money to help Xue Pan find a job as a scribe in the underworld.

On the contrary, it was Jia Rong. That was true because when he was still alive, he completely regarded himself as Shi Zhongkui's lackey. Shi Zhongkui was so embarrassed that he even wanted to give up on him.

Then he was asked to take care of the fifty warehouses of yinde silver he had hidden in the City of Fusi.

There is a full 50 million taels of silver. In the first few years, even if it is only 500,000 taels, it will be loaned.

After earning profits from the second level of interest, Jia Rong only took 1% of the profits as employment fees, and received thousands of taels of Yin De silver every year.

After Jia Rong became familiar with the house loan process and the various forces and relationships in the underworld, he was given millions of taels of silver per year to lend, and the low interest rate of 15% was enough to make his annual income of seven to eight thousand.

In the past few hundred years, Jia Rong's life was no worse than that of Xue Pan and Xue Biao.

Even because the interest rate is extremely low, there are too many people borrowing money. If you want to borrow money, you have to ask Jialan.

This guy's status in the underworld is not to say higher than that of the Yinsi officials, but he is also very rich.

As for those who dare to default on their debts, they are looking for death.

Anyway, in the Three Realms, there are only a few people who have a higher status than Shi Zhongkui and have deeper heel than Shi Zhongkui.

There is no need for Shi Zhongkui to come forward, the underworld officials and some forces entrenched in the underworld will help get the money back.

And whether it’s the human world or the underworld, 15% interest is really a good deed.

No one could say a bad word about Shi Zhongkui.

After Xue Pan, Xue Biao and Shi Zhongkui reminisced about old times, Jia Rong took a step ahead of Jia Lan. With a flattering smile on his face, he threw himself to the ground and shouted, "My nephew has met my uncle. I wish my uncle to enjoy eternal blessings and achieve the holy throne as soon as possible."

Shi Zhongkui laughed. Although he did not lack people to help him with work, nor did he lack virtuous money, but since he needed to do things personally, it was natural to choose a relative who knew the basics and did not dare to embezzle his own money.
