I Have Awakened The Deduction System - Chapter 558

558 Taking Up the Post
“Fifth-rank county?” He Chuan was a little puzzled. He didn’t expect there to be a fifth-rank county to choose from.

“This is the place.” Lin Xiu pointed at Guanlang County. “It snows half the time in Guanlang County every year, which is not good for planting crops. Moreover, there are many forests and few people.”

Great Yan had a large population. Ordinary counties had at least a million people, but this place only had 150,000. It was obvious that the population was small.

“Isn’t this a county?” He Chuan asked.

“A few days ago, the bandits attacked and the magistrate resigned. The imperial court is preparing to demote Guanlang to a county, but the rank of the magistrate remains unchanged.” This was also a helpless move. The pirates and bandits of Guanlang County had attacked several times, and the Prefectural Governor and the influential families there had changed several times.

!!
No one was willing to be an official, so this plan was made to lower the threshold and raise the rank.

This place was thousands of miles away from the Lin family. The sky was high and the road was far. It was probably not beneficial to the Lin family.

“Here it is,” He Chuan’s tone was firm.

“Alright, I’ll pray to the ancestors.” Lin Xiu persuaded him, but he could only agree helplessly.

It would be difficult to return from that place. The imperial court had finally found a talent willing to take charge of the situation, so how could they let him go so easily?

If they couldn’t find anyone, they could only merge it with the other prefectures. Such a large area would become a place where bandits ran rampant without anyone managing it.

He couldn’t stop his ancestors.

However, it was a pleasant surprise that the fifth-rank official was a Light Green Position.

The Light Green Position could build temples, and the ancestors could use them to recover their vitality.

Lin Xiu wrote a letter of introduction to the imperial court. It would take time for the imperial court to send the seal and status. He Chuan took the opportunity to return to the Cloud Pool Promenade.

“Master!” Yaoyue immediately went forward to greet him. As the Palace Master of Heavenly Yin Palace, she had been very busy recently.

“Where are Qie Lan and Qiu Guan? Tell them to come to see me.” He Chuan went straight to the point.

The beautiful woman in black and the man with a strange appearance walked over.

“You haven’t given up on cultivation recently, have you?” He Chuan swept his gaze over them. Since they came to the Dark Zone, Qie Lan and Qiu Guan had passed the wind tribulation one after another. Their aptitude was not bad.

However, it was still a step away from Yaoyue and Xingyue.

Peak Asura was equivalent to peak Celestial Realm. The two of them were even stronger than ordinary Celestial cultivators. Coupled with the Changle Ghost, it was also the reason why He Chuan trusted the two of them to manage the affairs of the Heavenly Palace.

Apart from Qiu Guan and Qie Lan, he also brought ten ghosts and supreme-rulers from Plague Clan, Insect Clan, and Beast Clan.

“Now we can go to the netherworld.” He Chuan was a little helpless.

It was not easy to resolve it, but now, the Fire supreme-ruler came to visit.

Apart from the inheritance and the Beiyin Purgatory Mountain, there was nothing good left in the netherworld.

Ever since Yuan Emperor and he took the inheritance away, this place had been declining day by day, leaving only a large space.

He might as well take advantage of the waste and take away the essence.

As for ghosts and living beings, they could only pray for their own good.

…

Great Yan Capital.

The Ming Palace.

The huge palace was dazzling with golden light. Eighty-eight overseas Coiled Dragon Trees supported the tall dome, and lifelike golden dragons were coiled on the pillars as if they were about to fly into the sky.

The yellow-robed middle-aged man leaned back in his chair. His eyes were cold and his eyebrows were like paint. He had a lazy temperament and every move he made was filled with an aura that could swallow mountains and rivers.

The current emperor, Ao Bai, was the only Golden Position in the world.

In front of him was a jade slip with golden threads. Images and words kept flashing.

If the daily affairs of the entire Great Yan Empire and the stars outside the Great Yan Empire were replaced by bamboo slips, the entire hall would probably be filled with them.

The Emperor of Great Yan was not an ordinary person. He took less than an hour to finish processing the tens of thousands of memorials and information.

An old eunuch in red came over with a bowl of porridge.

“Your Majesty, please take a rest. The Golden Rice offered by the Heavenly Sun Star tastes excellent. This servant will immediately get someone to make a portion.” The eunuch said.

“Let’s put it aside for now. Has there been any change in the country’s fate recently?” Ao Bai was a little tired.

“Your Majesty, the Imperial Astronomical Supervisor said that another ten percent is missing. The eunuch said with a troubled expression.

Ao Bai’s eyes shone with golden light.

A golden dragon appeared in the void in front of him.

Every piece of dragon scale and flesh represented a territory. This was the fate of the dynasty, and only the Emperor Heavenly Gaze Technique could see its true appearance.

The golden dragon was still as majestic as hell, but it was more tired and its scales were a little dull.

Ao Bai’s pupils trembled. A pitch-black tribulation cloud was floating above the golden dragon’s head. The tribulation was about to descend upon the golden dragon.

“It’s actually the Great Calamity of the common people.” Ao Bai’s face was deathly pale. The tribulation cloud had appeared silently.

One had to know that tribulation clouds had only appeared four times in history, and each time it represented the rise of a new Heavenly Emperor.

There were a total of four Heavenly Emperors, from Red to Black supreme-rulers. Logically speaking, with the return of the five deities, there would be no more Heavenly Emperors in the future. Why was there a Great Calamity of the common people?

Was there going to be a new Heavenly Emperor?

Ao Bai won’t have a good end.

Great Yan did not have one family, but five families. After the Yellow Emperor became immortal, he left behind the Ji family, and later on, it was Zhang, Liu, Ye, and Ao.

The birth of new things would inevitably lead to the destruction of old things.

“Your Majesty, why don’t this servant mobilize the Embroidered Guards to investigate the source of this disaster?” When the eunuch heard the words ‘Great Calamity’, his face turned pale as he hurriedly said.

Every generation of Heavenly Emperor rose up from the ashes. At this moment, the tribulation clouds had just appeared, and the new tribulation takers had just risen.

In theory, as long as he could kill the new Heavenly Emperor when he rose to power, he could survive the Great Calamity of the common people.

Ao Bai still couldn’t believe it. Was the Qin family going to fall in his generation?

Thinking of this, he sighed in his heart.

The previous rulers were not fatuous, they were heroic and resourceful, but they could not resist the fate of heaven and ended up with a sad ending.

“Everything will be as usual. Don’t stop the banquet dance.” Hearing the eunuch’s words, Ao Bai laughed.

The more the previous few struggled, the faster they died.

It was better to eat and drink as usual and stay longer.

What if the situation changed and a pillar of support appeared?

It was not like this had never happened before in history. Ao Bai continued to read the memorials.

On the surface, he was calm, but his heart was still shocked. He Chuan’s appointment procedures were also casually approved. He did not follow the procedures and used the Son of Heaven’s Insight to check the details. Otherwise, the technique might discover something wrong.

…
He Chuan finally got what he wanted and became the magistrate of Guanlang County.

As soon as he received the document, he could not wait to go to his post.

There was no need to stop along the way. The further north they went, the stronger the wind and snow. In this weather, even the thieves had to hide for the winter. There was no harassment along the way, so it took less effort.

However, the interior of the carriage was as warm as summer. The interior of the carriage had been expanded by magic, and it was as big as a living room.

There was a bed in the middle, and the scent of sandalwood wafted in the air. The beautiful woman sat up. Her black hair was like a waterfall, and she was only wearing a red bellyband. Her arms were snow-white.

Qie Lan raised his arms and combed his hair. Her curves were exquisite, and her bellyband was originally a thin and light garment. An exaggerated circular arc faintly appeared on the side.

He Chuan crossed his arms and smiled in appreciation. Qie Lan also reacted. His face was slightly red and he pouted.

Qie Lan was just about to continue being intimate with the beautiful woman and enjoy the gentle service.

At this moment, shouts and killing sounds came from outside the carriage.

“What happened?” He Chuan looked out the window.

“Haha, Princess, hurry up and hand over the treasure book, and I’ll spare your life!” A blood-red light dyed the sky red, and a dozen green skulls surrounded the green light.

“Kill me if you have the guts. The Eighth Prince will not let you go.” A delicate shout came from within the green light.
