Xu Zhiqiong is still somewhat resistant to this matter.
After coming to Daxuan for more than a year, Xu Zhiqiong learned about the rules of the human world, but he had almost no understanding of the underworld.
It stands to reason that the Judge is a special Taoist who walks in the realms of Yin and Yang, and is no stranger to the underworld.
But Xu Zhiqiong usually only does one thing when he comes to the underworld, which is to exchange merits, and occasionally go to the grocery store to buy some magic weapons.
Several times I wanted to sit in Goulan and the tea house, but I always got tripped up by something as soon as I got to the door.
Xu Zhiqiong was very nervous now that he had to meet an existence of the level of the King of Hell.
Xia Hu was also very worried and begged Bai Yueshan: "Doctor Bai, please take him away for a while. This silly boy is too reckless!"
Bai Yueshan smiled and said: "Nizi, if the men in your family are said to be reckless, who else in the Capital Punishment Department can be considered calm?"
Xia Hu said: "Don't say it's him. I have been a judge for so many years and I have never met Yan Jun. If you let him go alone, he doesn't know the way."
Bai Yueshan returned to the small pavilion and picked up the broken mirrors one by one: "Punishing criminals and doing official business, what kind of access is needed? It is not convenient for me to go to the underworld, let Zhiqiong go by himself."
Lu Yanyou said: "It's better if I accompany Ma Zhonglang."
Bai Yueshan shook his head and said: "In what capacity did you go to the Underworld? You are said to be the Chief of Punishing Evil. Your identity has not been restored yet, and you are said to be the Director of the Guide. How can you be qualified to see Lord Yan?"
Lu Yanyou had nothing to say.
Xia Hu turned around and said, "That's all, everyone is in trouble, so I'll just go with you alone."
Bai Yueshan picked up the broken lenses on the floor, stopped Xia Hu and said, "You can't leave. You broke the mirror. Don't you need to pay for it?"
Xia Hu felt a sharp pain in her heart: "Compensation is necessary. Tell me, how much money will it cost?"
"This is not about money."
Xia Hu let out a sigh of relief: "It's not about money, just talk about it!"
"Go to the Punishment Department and bring two craftsmen over, and I'll teach them how to repair the mirror."
Xia Hu blinked and said, "Are we going now? Do I have to go for this matter?"
"Who are you going to go to?" Bai Yueshan carefully put away the lens, "This mirror has spirituality. If you delay it for a long time, the spirituality will be gone, and you won't be able to repair it even if you want to."
Xia Hu said angrily: "You just want to waste me here, you just don't want me to go to the underworld!"
Bai Yueshan nodded and said, "I won't let you go, but I can't control you!"
He can take charge, not to mention a man who seeks to punish evildoers. All three officials of punishing evildoers must listen to him.
But why do you have to make things difficult for Xu Zhiqiong today?
Xia Hu couldn't figure out the reason, and Lu Yanyou was also a little confused.
Bai Yueshan looked at Xu Zhiqiong, the eyes behind the mask were very complicated.
He has his own reasons.
But I couldn't say it.
Why can’t I see the charges?
He was worried that some things would be leaked, but he couldn't tell them.
Bai Yueshan warned: "Put away Liang Xianhong's soul and don't let anyone see it. If you can't see Yan Jun, you must not give the bag of guilt to others.
You must be careful along the way. No matter where you go, try to leave a way out for yourself. If you feel that the situation is not right, come back to me immediately."
Xu Zhiqiong didn't ask any more questions, persuaded Xia Hu, and went to the Yinsi alone.
Xia Hu was very angry and chased Bai Yueshan, asking: "What is written in that bag of evidence? Why did he have to send it alone!"
Bai Yueshan didn't answer, but slowly played the song "Ding Feng Bo", and said while playing: "One wave after another, he killed that man. This is destined to be a disaster that he cannot escape. Don't get involved in it."
, if you don’t have the ability to deal with it, it’s hard to say whether I can deal with it.”
…
Walking to the gate of Fengdu City, Xu Zhiqiong saw the familiar gate guards.
This brother's name was Xie Zhigong, and he was very enthusiastic about Xu Zhiqiong: "Judge Ma has always been rare. Is he here to send a prisoner? Why can't he see his soul?"
Logically speaking, Xu Zhiqiong should have escorted the soul all the way here, but today was special, and Emperor Zhaoxing's soul was stuffed back into his crime by Xu Zhiqiong.
"I'm not here to send off the prisoners," Xu Zhiqiong smiled, "I'm here to buy something from Jiang Wuniang."
Xie Zhigong smacked his lips and said, "That woman is getting more and more out of character. The prices of things in the shop have increased by 20%. I don't know who she has found as a backer. Maybe she has climbed up to Dong Dianjun."
Palace Lord is the name given to the King of Hell by practitioners of the underworld.
It turns out that the King of Hell’s surname is Dong.
But having said that, how many kings of hell are there in the underworld?
Is this King of Hell surnamed Dong the one I'm looking for?
The two chatted for a while, and Xu Zhiqiong took out his wallet, took out some broken silver and gave it to Xie Zhigong.
Xie Zhigong was startled: "Judge Ma, what are you doing?"
Xu Zhiqiong said: "To be honest, I have asked my servants to send me prisoners several times these days, and you have never felt sorry for them. This little money can be considered a token of your affection."
Xie Zhigong waved his hands repeatedly and said: "What do you mean? There are too many slaves and prisoners, and many judges do this. Why do you need to spend money on such a trivial matter? Besides, you have never treated our brothers badly.
!”
Xie Zhigong wanted to push the money back, but Xu Zhiqiong held Xie Zhigong's hand and said, "Brother, just think of it as tea money."
Xie Zhigong weighed it up and found that there were four or five taels of silver in total: "How good is this tea? Give it too much, it's too much, it's just your intention."
"If you think highly of me, accept it!" Every time he passed by the city gate, Xu Zhiqiong would give some loose silver to the gate guards, and this time he deliberately gave more.
Bai Yueshan told Xu Zhiqiong to leave a way out for himself.
The road is easy to find, everywhere.
But if the door is closed, the road will be blocked.
Xu Zhiqiong had to find a way to leave more doors for himself.
Along the familiar road, Xu Zhiqiong walked all the way to Yama Luo Hall, and a group of shady people came to greet him in front of the door.
"Judge Ma is here!"
"Judge Ma, please go to our place and have a look!"
"Judge Ma, our prison warden invites you to come over and have a drink!"
Zhang Yanhai, the arrogant Zhang Yanhai, pushed away the crowd and said, "What are you trying to grab? It's your turn? This is our customer, Judge Ma. I haven't seen you for a long time. Please come in quickly!"
Zhang Yanhai is Nie Gui'an's man, so Xu Zhiqiong naturally wants to find him.
Xu Zhiqiong has not come much recently, but there are many prisoners. Xia Hu helped him send hundreds of prisoners one after another. Nie Gui'an, who had just been promoted to prison, was fed by Xu Zhiqiong and was almost promoted to the capital official.
Xu Zhiqiong took out a few more broken pieces of silver and stuffed them into Zhang Yanhai's hands and said, "Take them to treat the brothers to tea."
Zhang Yanhai shook his head repeatedly and said: "This is impossible. How dare we accept your money? You are our God of Wealth. We can't wait to pay you every day."
"It's just such a small amount of kindness, why do you think it's so little?" Xu Zhiqiong should have given the money to Zhang Yanhai.
Zhang Yanhai is also considered a doorkeeper. Xu Zhiqiong paid special attention to every door he saw today.
"You're too polite, too polite." Zhang Yanhai led Xu Zhiqiong into the Yama Hall. A man behind him looked at Xu Zhiqiong's back and quietly disappeared into the crowd.
Entering the side hall, Nie Gui'an stepped forward to say hello: "Judge Ma, I haven't seen you for a while. Are you here to send off the prisoners?"
Xu Zhiqiong nodded.
"Um..." Nie Gui'an looked left and right, but saw no sign of the prisoner, "Judge Ma, where is he?"
Xu Zhiqiong put the verdict and crime on the table.
Nie Gui'an looked at the sin karma and laughed and said: "It's just a two-inch long sin karma. How can Judge Ma be so careful?"
Xu Zhiqiong said seriously: "This man is extraordinary."
When the verdict was opened, Nie Gui'an was stunned for a long time.
There wasn't even a name on the verdict.
"May I ask Judge Ma, what is the name of this prisoner?"
Xu Zhiqiong said: "Brother, first tell me whether you will accept this business? I will tell you after you accept the business!"
Nie Gui'an looked troubled and said: "Judge Ma, you said that this prisoner only has two inches of criminal karma, but the sentence says that he will be reincarnated in ten thousand hells and will never be reincarnated. Do you know what reincarnation in ten thousand hells is?"
"This is a case judged by the good doctor Bai Yueshan. Forgive me for being shallow. I really don't know what the punishment of reincarnation is like. Could it be similar to the extremely evil prison?"
"It's far worse!" Nie Gui'an shook his head and said, "There are ten thousand prisons in the underworld. You have to go through each prison and reincarnate over and over again. You will never be reincarnated. How can this hell be compared to the most evil prisons?
Liang Yuming has a crime that is more than three feet long, but he just went to the Fierce Flame Prison. Judge Ma, today you took a crime that is more than two inches long and said that it will be reincarnated in ten thousand prisons, but how do you ask me to redeem the merits to you?
"
Xu Zhiqiong shook his head and said: "I have no shortage of meritorious service, but this man deserves it, but we cannot spare him!"
Nie Gui'an looked troubled: "You just said he deserved it, but what exactly was his crime? The sentence didn't make it clear!"
Xu Zhiqiong pointed to the verdict and said: "This is the verdict written by Bai Yueshan, the doctor who rewarded philanthropy. Brother, can you not believe me?"
This is the second time Xu Zhiqiong mentioned Bai Yue Mountain.
"I trust you, but this crime and punishment are not worthy..." Nie Gui'an's voice changed a little, as if he had swallowed dust, and was a little hoarse and tight.
It seems that Nie Gui'an can't make the decision in this matter. Xu Zhiqiong said: "Brother, I won't embarrass you. So, what do you think if you tell Lord Yan about this matter and let him handle it?"
"Tell Yan Jun?" Nie Gui'an was in trouble again.
He is the warden of the prison, taking prisoners into custody and administering punishment according to their crimes. This is his duty.
If the crime is deemed appropriate, it will be carried out as usual; if it is not, it will be remanded for a new trial. If this incident alarmed Yan Jun, it would be like ruining his own job.
But if it is carried out like this, the crime and punishment are obviously inconsistent, and there is no evidence of guilt, Nie Gui'an is likely to make a big mistake, and he will be punished at least, and his cultivation will be lost at worst.
If it is not carried out and the case is remanded for retrial, Nie Gui'an will offend the rich man Ma Shangfeng and also offend the big shot Bai Yueshan.
Don't underestimate the official who rewards good deeds. Although the judge's sect has declined, in terms of status and cultivation, he is on an equal footing with Yan Jun.
No matter what I do, it's inappropriate.
Nie Gui'an called Zhang Yanhai, and with good wine and food, he first stabilized Xu Zhiqiong, and he ran like the wind all the way to Shi Cheng's house.
Shi Cheng has been promoted. Now he is a capital official. He no longer has to work in Yama Palace and can enjoy leisure time in his mansion.
Nie Gui'an was a regular visitor, so he went directly into the main hall without passing through.
Shi Cheng was half-lying on a chair, with three concubines waiting on him.
One is on the left to hammer the left leg, one is on the right to rub the right leg, and one is in the middle...maintenance and upgrade.
Nie Gui'an knew that he came at the wrong time, but Shi Cheng didn't mind: "If you have anything to do, tell me quickly. If you have nothing else, go to the backyard and pick two girls. We two brothers will have fun together."
"Brother, I really have something wrong. Judge Ma came today and brought a two-inch-long stick of karma. He insisted on giving the criminal a sentence of ten thousand prison reincarnations. I don't think this is appropriate, but Judge Ma,
You also know that this is our God of Wealth, so I am in trouble..."
"Hold on!" Shi Cheng sat up and pushed the concubine away, "What kind of prisoner did he bring?"
Nie Gui'an said: "I haven't seen the guilty prisoner yet."
"What kind of charges are there?"
Nie Gui'an said: "It's difficult to deal with it. I didn't even see the charges. He also said that this matter is not difficult for me, and said that he would go to the palace directly."
"Looking for the Lord of the Palace?" Shi Cheng stood up immediately and put on his clothes, "Hurry up, if you are one step too late, he will be dead!"
…
Xu Zhiqiong was drinking with Zhang Yanhai, chatting without a word, when a spy came in and greeted him: "Zhang Zhang Xing, the emperor asked Judge Ma to wait in the front study."
Front study?
What is that place?
Xu Zhiqiong has never been anywhere except this side hall.
Zhang Yanhai stood up and clasped his fists and said: "Judge Ma, please be more careful when you see the Lord. I won't say much else."
"Nao Nao, Nao Nao!" Xu Zhiqiong said goodbye with clasped fists and followed another undercover servant to the front study.
This front study is not small, about the same size as Xu Zhiqiong's main room in Zhonglang Courtyard. It is also divided into two rooms, inside and outside. However, there is no sunlight in the underworld. Under the light, although there are books in the room, there is only a cold air.
A little bit of ink fragrance.
When they arrived at the door, the man who led the way immediately resigned. Xu Zhiqiong waited for a moment and saw a man wearing a white crown, white clothes and white shoes coming to Xu Zhiqiong.
"Your name is Ma Shangfeng?"
Xu Zhiqiong nodded.
The man in white smiled and said, "Do you want to live?"
