I'm an immortal in heaven

Chapter 655 Judgment
Jiang Lan, as a demon cultivator in the Nascent Soul Realm, has practiced in the Tang Dynasty for more than 2000 years. She knows very well that in this Nanzhan Buzhou, the power of the demon clan is very weak.

Not to mention the Heavenly Court, the Taoist sects with influence all over the Nanzhan Buzhou will not let the demon cultivators come here.

Jiang Lan knew in her heart that she killed Liu Daye to avenge her son, but in fact, nothing would happen.

But now that the land god of Daliuzhuang came forward, it would be difficult for her to do this directly. The world today is not as good as before, especially in the Great Tang Kingdom of Nanzhan Buzhou, where the first human ancestor was born, there are not a few Taoist monks who can destroy her family.

And her son is already dead, and her soul has been captured by ghost messengers. Deep down, she also knows that it is delusional to want her son to be resurrected.

So she only had one thought, which was to let Liu Daye pay for his life and seek justice for her son.

After listening to Jiang Lan's petition, Zheng Li was also a little worried about this case. As the director of the prison department of Yanzhou Prefecture, he naturally had his own judgment on such cases.

So after hesitating for a moment, Zheng Li said to Jiang Lan, "Jiang Lan, I understand your pain of bereavement, and your feeling of revenge for your son. But I want to make something clear to you. Don't refute, just listen. I'm done, how?"

Jiang Lan heard the words, and nodded while crying: "My lord, please tell me."

Zheng Li said: "First of all, it was your son who broke into Daliuzhuang, not the people from Daliuzhuang who went to your cave and beat your son to death, right?"

Jiang Lan was taken aback when she heard the words, and wanted to argue, but Zheng Li said: "Don't argue, just say yes or no."

Jiang Lan opened her mouth, then said with a painful expression, "Yes."

Zheng Lidao: "The people of Daliuzhuang have lived here for hundreds of years, so this Daliuzhuang is a place where human beings live and gather. Your son is a poisonous snake, and he is also a snake demon with a strong poison. He entered Daliuzhuang In the village, the lives of ordinary people in Daliuzhuang are threatened, so there is nothing wrong with Liu Daye beating your son to death."

Jiang Lan's expression changed, and she said, "But my son didn't hurt anyone!"

Zheng Li said solemnly: "You can't say that. A murderer broke into the house with a knife. Who knows when he will kill? A poisonous snake broke into the village. Who can guarantee that it will not hurt people? Liu Daye Killing your son was based on a mortal's common sense judgment, your son's appearance has indeed threatened the people in Daliuzhuang."

"Then my son died in vain? Is that so?" Jiang Lan asked Zheng Li with strong resentment, tears streaming down her face like rain.

Zheng Li said: "Don't worry, wait until I ask your son."

After finishing speaking, Zheng Li turned his head to look at Jiang Lan's son's soul, and then asked, "Why did you come to Daliu Village?"

When the little snake demon heard Zheng Li's words, he felt aggrieved and said, "I want to play with them."

"Who are they?" Zheng Li asked again.

The little snake demon said: "They are the same people as me."

At this time Fang Jian added: "He's talking about the children in Daliu Village."

Zheng Li was taken aback when he heard the words, and asked the little snake demon again: "Are you talking about those children in Daliu Village?"

"It's them." The little snake demon said: "I often peek at them playing in the woods, and I want to play with them too, but they are afraid of me."

Hearing this, Liu Daye suddenly remembered that last year the children in Daliuzhuang seemed to have mentioned that they had seen snakes in the woods outside Daliuzhuang.

Zheng Li asked: "Then how do you want to play with them?"

This sentence is very crucial, Jiang Lan instinctively straightened her body and looked at the little snake demon.

The little snake demon shook his head blankly, and said disappointedly: "I don't know, I saw them having fun, but I'm different from them."

When Zheng Li heard this, Brick asked Su Yan, the land god, "Land Lord, what do you think?"

Su Yan thought for a while, and said, "He probably has no intention of hurting anyone."

Jiang Lan quickly nodded and agreed: "My child has been practicing with me in the cave since he was born. He has never gone to the world of mortals, and has never hurt anyone."

Su Yan nodded and said, "I can confirm this. This little snake demon has no record of hurting anyone."

Zheng Li said: "So that's the case." After speaking, he turned his eyes to Liu Daye and asked: "Liu Daye, do you have anything to say?"

Liu Daye was startled, then remained silent for a while, and finally said: "Go back to the Lord and this lord, I didn't know it was a snake demon. At that time, the children in Daliu Village were playing by the bamboo forest, and the little snake demon was there too. At that time Those children were terrified when they found it, and I beat it to death with a pole because I was afraid it would bite, but I have nothing to say other than that.”

After Liu Daye finished speaking, Fang Jian on the side said, "I can testify, and I have a spiritual light to restore the situation at that time."

After Fang Jian finished speaking, all the eyes of everyone present looked at Fang Jian.

Hearing the words, Su Yan, God of Earth, immediately said: "Since you have a spiritual light, fellow Taoist, quickly take it out and show it to Mr. Zheng."

Fang Jian nodded, then waved his sleeves, and saw a watery light curtain appearing in mid-air, and soon the scene of Liu Daye beating the snake was fully restored.

But for Jiang Lan, this was undoubtedly another cruel injury, because she saw with her own eyes how her child was beaten to death.

As for Liu Daye, his face was full of surprise and admiration. He didn't expect this little Fang to have such a magical ability?
As Fang Jian took out the shadow of the aura, everything became clear. After seeing the shadow of the aura, Zheng Li made his own judgment: "The mortal Liu Daye is not guilty."

"I don't accept it!" Jiang Lan immediately shouted: "You are a human being, and he is also a human being. You are partial! I refuse to accept it!"

Jiang Lan burst into tears, pointed at Zheng Li and shouted: "Don't you have a son? If your son was beaten to death, would you be punished like this?"

What Zheng Li said made Zheng Li angry, but he kept calm and said to Jiang Lan in a deep voice: "My judgment is in line with heaven, and Liu Daye's actions at that time are also in line with common sense. The first thing that is wrong is that your son should not have done it. Come to Daliuzhuang. Demons have their own world, and humans have their own. Well water should not interfere with river water, but your son has crossed the line by entering Daliuzhuang without authorization."

"Then before the appearance of the human race, there were only our demon race in the world, why didn't you say that this world originally belonged to our demon race?" Jiang Lan said loudly.

Zheng Li frowned, he had already seen that Jiang Lan's sanity was gradually losing, so he said slowly, "Don't worry, I haven't finished yet."

Jiang Lan looked at Zheng Li and said, "You have judged me to be wrong, so what does it matter if you haven't finished?"

Zheng Li said: "Although the fault lies with your son, your son had no intention of harming others at that time, and he never did any harm, so in my opinion, it is not right for your son to suffer such misfortune, and he should be punished. "

"Ah?" Just as Zheng Li finished speaking, before Jiang Lan said anything, Su Yan, the land god beside him, became anxious, "Master Zheng, it has died and its soul has been imprisoned. This life has been canceled in the book of life and death, how can we say If you return to Yang, you will return to Yang?"

The two ghost guards who were detaining the little snake demon also said: "Returning a dead person to the sun requires at least the approval of the King of Hades of the Ten Palaces, and Master Zheng doesn't count."

Zheng Li spread his hands when he heard this, and said, "Then what am I doing here?"

Su Yan said with a smile: "Of course I invite Mr. Zheng to come and judge whether you are right or wrong. Now that you have divided right from wrong, Mr. Zheng, you can go back and rest first."

Su Yan's meaning is very simple, we need Mr. Zheng to judge who is right and who is wrong, who is guilty and innocent. As for other things, don't worry about it, it's useless.

Just as Zheng Li was about to speak, a cloud of light suddenly rose under his feet. He looked down, and then the ground shrank rapidly, and he flew into the sky again.

Then the cloud light under Zheng Li's feet took his soul and turned into a ray of light and flew back to Yanzhou Prefecture. Zheng Li saw Yanzhou Prefecture, his house, and his wife busy weaving in front of the loom.

'Om'

Immediately afterwards, Zheng Li's eyes went blank, although he finally opened his eyes, he woke up.

What came into my eyes was my bedroom and the dim light, and I heard the sound of my wife's machine turning in my ears.

Zheng Li blinked his eyes. At this time, his spirit was extremely excited. Although he had only slept for less than an hour, he felt as refreshed as after a long good night's sleep.

Thinking of everything in the 'dream', Zheng Li felt very interesting and novel, "Is it true that gods really have to judge cases like ordinary people?"

Zheng Li lost all sleepiness, got up and put on his clothes, and then came to the main room.

"Huh? Are you awake?" His wife said in surprise as she watched Zheng Li walk out of the bedroom.

Zheng Li nodded and said, "I'm a little thirsty."

Zheng Li came to the table, picked up the teacup and drank a cup of herbal tea, then asked his wife, "Have you heard from Wu'er?"

Wu'er is Zheng Wu, the son of Zheng Li.

Upon hearing her husband's question, Yun shook her head and said, "Not yet."

Zheng Li thought of the snake demon in the 'dream', and he also missed his son, "Wu'er has been studying in Chang'an for three years, right?"

"Yeah, time flies so fast." Yun also sighed.

After Zheng Li was sent back, it was the land god Su Yan's turn to suffer from headaches, because Jiang Lan had already grabbed Zheng Li's words and insisted on her son returning Yang.

Su Yan spent a lot of effort to appease Jiang Lan, told her to be calm, and then sent Liu Daye's soul back.

However, when Liu Daye's soul was sent back, Fang Jian quietly used his power to seal Liu Daye's memory about himself tonight in Liu Daye's mind.

So when Liu Daye wakes up tomorrow morning, Fang Jian will not be in his memory of tonight's trial.

Because Zheng Li has already ruled that Liu Daye is innocent and innocent, so there will be no business for him in the future. If Jiang Lan continues to trouble Liu Daye, it will be against the law of heaven.

Su Yan will record Zheng Li's verdict truthfully and submit it to Nanzhan Buzhou Tianjun Mansion for filing. This is the iron case.

However, Zheng Li did say that he wanted the little snake demon to return to life.

"You can't go back on what you fairy officials said!" Jiang Lan said to Su Yan.

Su Yan was very embarrassed, "It's a big deal to return to the sun, and if something goes wrong, it's against the rules of heaven." Su Yan looked at Jiang Lan and said, "It's impossible for you not to know how serious it is to violate the rules of heaven, right?"

"Then I don't care, you have to ask Xuanpan to say that, and I also recorded it with my spiritual light, if there is any problem at that time, I will explain it here!" Jiang Lan said.

Su Yan patted his forehead and fell silent after glancing at Jiang Lan.

After a long time, Su Yan raised his head again and said: "Well, I'll think of a way to do this. Your son's soul will be temporarily sent to the underworld. He will not go to the palace of the king of hell and will not be reincarnated. He will stay in the underworld for a few days. How can I think of a way?"

Jiang Lan was a little hesitant. She glanced at her son and said, "Can't we let him live in the Earth Temple first?"

"No." Su Yan said: "The heavenly rule stipulates that the souls of any living beings cannot be housed in the Temple of the Earth."

Jiang Lan thought for a long time, and then said: "Then we have to do this first."

Seeing that Jiang Lan agreed, Su Yan immediately said to the two ghost messengers: "Then I would like to ask the two fellow Taoists to send him back to the underworld first."

The two ghost messengers heard the words and said: "Okay, but the land god, you have to hurry up, we two are very busy, but we don't have so much time to spend here."

Su Yan's face was a little helpless, and he could only say, "Okay."

But Jiang Lan saw some clues, and she immediately said: "You two ghosts wait a moment."

The two ghost messengers turned around, looked at Jiang Lan vigilantly and said, "What are you going to do?"

Jiang Lan immediately took out a few elixir plants from the storage bag, and said: "You two ghost messengers, these are some of the elixir I have accumulated, and they are all over 500 years old. The two ghost messengers have worked so hard for my son's affairs. , this is a little bit of my heart."

"What?!" The faces of the two ghost officers changed drastically when they heard the words, and they said coldly to Jiang Lan: "How dare you openly bribe the immortal officials?"

"Ah? This..." Jiang Lan suddenly turned pale with shock, and immediately knew that she was being clever and self-defeating.

But just when Jiang Lan was thinking about how to remedy it, the two ghost messengers stepped forward, took all the elixir in her hand, and said, "You openly bribed the immortal officials of the underworld, this is Let’s confiscate the evidence first, without exception.”

"." Jiang Lan blinked her eyes quickly in astonishment, only to see that after the two ghost messengers 'confiscated' her elixir, they immediately went back and took down the prisoner that locked her son's soul.

"Let's go, little guy, you go back with us first." After restraining the soul, the ghost messenger said to the little snake demon.

Jiang Lan heard the tone of the two ghosts, and it was ten times better than before. She immediately realized that she had failed in 'gifting', but she was also successful.

Jiang Lan finally felt relieved, and saw her son being led by two ghost messengers to the Huangquan Road in the mist, and the little snake demon was crying for his mother again.

Even though she was very reluctant to give up, she couldn't let go of the moth at this time, so she comforted the little snake demon: "Don't be afraid, my son, first you and the two ghosts will go to the underworld to stay for a few days, mother will soon I'll take you back."

When her voice fell, the two ghost messengers had brought the little snake demon into the mist, and soon disappeared with the mist.
