Chapter 332: Taking sides
He simply took out the tea eggs and Shiliangye and placed them on the stone table. They were all upgraded with the magic flavor formula. "I would like to invite two official servants to chat while eating and drinking."
The bull's head looked at the horse's face, "Is this a weasel paying New Year's greetings to a chicken?"
Ma Mian's saliva felt like it was about to leak from the corner of his mouth, so he asked Niu Tou angrily, "Are you a chicken?"
Niu Tou was confused, "You know, I am from a cow, how can I look like a chicken?"
Ma Mian picked up the tea eggs and said, "Since it's not a chicken, it doesn't count."
Niutou got a satisfactory answer and happily pulled out the cork of the wine bottle, "That's great. You can drink it dry, brother."
He simply advised them, "You two officials, please don't rush and don't choke. I brought a lot this time, so take care of it."
This was the first time to taste the ox-head horse noodles. The two of them were really intoxicated by the tea eggs and fine wine upgraded with the magic taste.
The cow head mooed excitedly, "Oh my god, this is so delicious and delicious!"
Ma Mian burst into tears, "Oh my god, I really want you to have a taste."
He didn't say anything for a long time. He didn't want to spoil the fun of the two of them, so he just let them be satisfied for a while longer.
After a cup of tea, the two of them finally returned to their normal eating and drinking rhythm.
Only then did Jian Jian say, "It seems that there has been a big change in the current situation in this underworld, so the two officials are not very happy."
Ma Mian's face grew longer, "King Yama has been in a bad mood lately, and all the kiddos below are frightened. Although my two brothers are generous, they don't want to be bullied by King Yama all the time. No, we were just beaten
I called him and gave him a scolding."
I just couldn't understand it, "The underworld has always been peaceful, so why did King Yama get so angry?"
Niutou snorted, "It's not because the higher-ups are so ambitious and determined to expand the influence of the underworld that they dislike our underworld's poor performance, so I asked King Yama to have an interview."
Ma Mian added, "The underworld will prosper when more people die. But King Yama is kind-hearted and doesn't like too many people to die. Therefore, he never puts his mind on harming people. The number of deaths in this lower realm is never that big."
It's improving. Now that the boss is pressing hard, but he doesn't want to do it, isn't he going to get angry in a hurry?"
When I heard this, I couldn't help but be shocked.
I had heard before that the demons coveted the lower realm and wanted to form an alliance and cooperate with the underworld.
And the underworld also wants to take advantage of the demons' killing spree to secretly expand the strength of the underworld.
The information revealed by the bull-headed horse face shows that such thoughts do exist in the upper levels of the underworld.
If I want to intervene in such conflicts, I feel that I am too powerless. But I still don’t want to turn a blind eye and do something.
Jian shook his head and raised his voice, "Actually, for Lord Yama, poor performance is not necessarily a bad thing, and excellent performance is not necessarily a good thing."
Niutou was confused, "I didn't see you drinking, brother, so why are you talking nonsense? Of course, the better the performance, the better."
I simply don’t take it seriously, “So what if you have good performance? Can you continue to climb up? Can you get the positions of Pluto and Ghost Emperor just by relying on performance? Besides, this does not mean the top.”
Ma Mian was curious, "Who do you mean by the top?"
It simply solved the puzzle, "Of course he is talking about Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. Although he does not hold real power, he is the nominal supreme leader of the underworld. He once said publicly that one cannot become a Buddha until the hell is empty. If the underworld is overcrowded, people will go to hell in proportion.
There are naturally many of them, isn’t this just a matter of getting along with Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva?”
Niu Tou was even more confused, "But that's what the higher-ups asked, so Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva doesn't care about it anymore?"
I simply had to make it clear, "The Emperor Fengdu and the Five Ghost Emperors hold the real power in the underworld and assume management responsibilities. They obviously have different ideas. This is a line struggle between high-level officials."
Ma Mian couldn't make up his mind, "Then who should we support?"
Jian Jian smiled calmly and said, "Of course I support King Yama."
Ma Mian quickly asked, "Who should King Yama support?"
It’s a warning, “King Yama, as a middle-level cadre who handles practical matters, the most important thing to avoid at this time is to choose sides.”
Niutou didn't understand, "If I choose the right one, wouldn't it be fine?"
He simply had no choice but to continue to point out, "Because as a result of the struggle at the top, a compromise is reached in most cases, because no one is willing to end up together and perish together. Then, it comes time for everyone to settle their accounts. Regardless of whether King Yama is considered to be on the side
Neither side will get good results. And it is very likely that both sides will not like it."
Ma Mian was a little anxious, "What should we do?"
He simply took the opportunity to point out the theme, "Performance that is too bad or too good is a disguised form of choosing sides. What's more, if the performance of the underworld is too good or too bad, it will shake the official position of King Yama. Is this good or bad at the moment?
The best situation is the situation.”
Niu Tou was accustomed to being stubborn, "I'm afraid this won't work, the orders from above must still be carried out."
Frankly speaking, "It's not that I didn't execute it, I just didn't execute it very well. So what? It's just that I'm often talked to and teased. But the more I'm teased, it means the job is more difficult to do, and it's easy for those who covet this position.
The less.”
Ma Mian nodded repeatedly, "That's really true. Jobs are more important than face."
It's just a matter of course, "So, it's a good thing that the Lord of Hell is being interviewed and you two are bickering? If your work is always in a state of headache, no one will be willing to take over the job. It just so happens
I'm here this time to help you solve some headaches."
Ma Mian was very vigilant, "You just give us a headache. Don't cause trouble again."
Jian Jian quickly argued, "I mean, you can use these words to comfort King Yama."
Niu Tou couldn't help but chirped, "His old man would be happy to chat with us."
Jian Jian warned, "When you start chatting, never say these words that I taught you."
Niutou felt strange, "Why?"
Jian Jian pointed out directly, "He said that if you don't believe it, you are the one who realized it yourself. You must ask questions. If you confess at this time, it was me who said it."
Niutou was even more surprised, "Why is this?"
He simply told the truth, "This way he won't suspect that I want to deceive him, and he will think carefully about these words."
Ma Mian suddenly said, "Then what if I tell him all these words of yours?"
It was very calm, "That's right, I know you are determined to do this."
Ma Mian couldn't bear it, "Will it hurt you?"
She simply comforted him, "As long as I don't enter this hell gate, no matter how powerful King Yama is, he can't control me."
