Judgement

Chapter 38 Judge to Judge

After Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva bestowed the yin and yang formula on Chen Mengsheng, he rode on a white dog and left after listening.After Chen Mengsheng and Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha walked away, he lifted his robe and looked at his feet. He couldn't see the yin and yang shoes from left and right.

A burst of black mist protruded from the ground under his feet, and he didn't need to walk when stepping on the black mist, the black mist moved slowly by itself.The scenes on both sides were retreating quickly like shadows, and after a short effort, they arrived at Huangquan Road where Chen Mengsheng had come. There were still flowers on both sides of the road, but there were still many ghosts beside the bridge.

When Wuchang saw Chen Mengsheng coming, he all stepped forward to salute.

Hei Wuchang asked: "I don't know why Lord Judge came here today?"

"I'm only here for verification of a public case. You don't need to bother with me and go to work on your own." Chen Mengsheng crossed the Naihe Bridge and went straight to the Nether Sisi, walked on the Yangguan Road, passed the archway engraved with "Nether Underworld" and it was the Nether The Department of Rewarding Good, the Department of Punishment, the Department of Yin Law, and the Department of Prosecution.

Although Chen Mengsheng revisited his old place, the shrill screams from the punishment department still make one's hair stand on end.The Chief of the Punishment Division was dressed in a purple robe, his eyes wide open.His lips were tightly closed, and he looked like he was doing business. All the bad ghosts who committed evil in his lifetime were dealt with by him.There are many ghost soldiers in the hall to torture the perpetrators, with knives and flames, and oil pans to flog them.The tortured all begged for mercy, but good and evil will be rewarded in the end.You Ming Shang Shansi was dressed in a green robe and had a pleasant smile on his face.All the little ghosts who did good deeds during their lifetime are arranged by him, and they will be rewarded according to the degree and amount of their deeds during their lifetime.In the six realms of reincarnation, one can ascend to heaven and become a god, or be reincarnated as a human being. He only needs to drink a bowl of ecstasy tea at Meng Po's place, forget the grievances and grievances in his life, and then eat the fireworks in the world again.Further on is the location of Cui Yu, the Department of Yin Law. Cui Yu is the number one figure in the Yincao Difu. He holds the book of life and death in his left hand and the soul-hunting pen in his right.

According to legend, Cui Jue was from Sui and Tang Dynasties.In the seventh year of Tang Zhenguan (633), he became an official and was the eldest son of Luzhou County Magistrate.It is said that Cui Jue can "discipline the affairs of the sun during the day, resolve the grievances of the underworld at night, and pluck people and ghosts, which is better than a god." There are many folk legends about Cui Jue's settlement of cases, among which the story of "clearly judging the case of an evil tiger wounding people" is the most widely spread.The story says: There is a big mountain at the junction of the southwest of Changzi County and Qinshui, named Diaohuangling, where ferocious beasts often appeared in the old days.One day, a woodcutter went up to the mountain to cut firewood and was eaten by a tiger. His widowed mother was so distressed that she went to court to appeal for grievances.Xian recited the talisman in front of the mountain temple and offered it to the god's case. Then a tiger rushed out from behind the temple, held the talisman to the front of Xian, and let it be bound with iron chains.The evil tiger was arrested and brought to the county government office, and Jue was immediately promoted to court for interrogation.In the hall, Jue counted the evil tiger's crimes of hurting people, and the evil tiger nodded repeatedly.The final verdict: "Cannibalism is an unforgivable crime." The tiger touched the steps and died.

Just as Chen Mengsheng was about to enter the Department of Yin Law, he heard that Cui Yu was in the middle of arranging a case. It was inconvenient for him to go in and disturb him for a while, so he took a look inside the Department of Yin Law.Unexpectedly, the two people kneeling on the ground in the Department of Yin Law were Boss Xiao and his wife from the Fulai Restaurant that Chen Mengsheng knew.

Chen Mengsheng was secretly surprised that he went to Fulai Restaurant during the day, but he didn't expect that the Xiao couple would go to hell...

The ghost soldiers outside the Nether Fourth Division saw Chen Mengsheng looking around in front of the Yinlu Division's gate, and raised the three ghost forks. "Hey, what about you, what are you looking at? Go there and line up, the judge will call you."

When the ghost soldiers saw Chen Mengsheng, they thought it was a dead ghost waiting to be judged, so they drove Chen Mengsheng into the ghost.Chen Mengsheng just wanted to know how the shopkeeper Xiao was dismissed, and it didn't matter where he was or was not.

"Mr. Xiao, Hu Jinhua. You are all very good and evil. You should drink Meng Po soup to enter the human reincarnation, but the two of you are so ineffective in raising your children that you both died."

Xiao Laoshi cried: "Your Majesty's lesson is very good, Xiao Laoshi regrets it. Don't worry about it. It's my father's fault. Our husband and wife had three sons and two daughters who all died before their first birthday. Later, I had this rebellious son. ### is obedient to him lest he will die like other children, who would have thought that this child would be so disobedient..."

Hu Jinhua, who was kneeling beside her, wiped her tears and snotted her nose and said, "Your Majesty, my Zhuzi's nature is not bad, but he likes to gamble some money. This time, he lost too much, so he..."

Cui Yu said angrily: "A loving mother is a lot of losers. That Xiao Zhuzi put your shop and house in gambling debts because of losing money, and waited until they came to collect the shop and house. Drive you to the street, and then you will be alive." Both of you died. Do you still want to excuse that unworthy son now?"

The Xiao couple kowtowed and kept saying, "I just ask the judge to show mercy and forgive Xiao Zhuzi. Let us bear all the crimes."

Cui Yu let out a long sigh: "Come on, let's go, let's go. Pity the hearts of parents in the world, I hope that Xiao Zhuzi will wake up one day. Go down, drink Mengpo soup and go to reincarnation and reincarnation."

The ghost soldiers dragged Xiao Laoshi and Hu Jinhua out of the Yinlu Division, and Cui Yu finished sorting out the case files and shouted, "Next."

Chen Mengsheng was shouted by the ghost soldier: "Black man, I am calling you, go in."

Cui Yu raised his head and saw that it was Chen Mengsheng, he was taken aback for a moment, then saluted and smiled and said, "I don't know if the Immortal came to visit today, I'm sorry for the inconvenience."

"Today, I only came here for a public case. There is an unjust case in the world. There are people in the Netherworld who help the wicked to reap the benefits and find someone to die for."

Cui Yu thought to himself that the Underworld can do good things for mortals, so it is necessary to change the book of life and death.Except for Yan Jun, the ones who have life and death records are themselves and Chen Mengsheng.

Cui Yu's complexion darkened, and he replied displeasedly: "Cui doesn't understand what Shangxian means by this? Could it be that Shangxian thinks that I am trying to find a substitute for the wicked?"

Chen Mengsheng said without giving in to Maimang: "The Underworld has its own laws, and the rewards of good and evil have already been determined. If there are laws and the laws are not followed, the enforcement is not strict. Then what is the use of this judge?"

Cui Yu was depressed, he had been in charge of the position of judge in this nether world for hundreds of years.How could he be ignorant of the laws of the Yin Law, and today he was annoyed by Chen Mengsheng's blunt statement, so he took out the book of life and death from his arms and slapped it on the table.

The ghost soldiers outside the Yinlu Department had never seen anyone who dared to talk to Judge Cui like this, and all of a sudden they looked at the black man differently.

Cui Yu's face turned from iron blue to white with anger: "In this case, Shangxian please come with me, let's go to meet Yan Jun and explain this matter clearly." Chen Mengsheng didn't say much. Follow Cui Yu to meet King Qin Guang who is one of the Ten Kings of Hades.

This king of Qin Guang is in charge of the evil and good fortune of the underworld, and guides people to rebirth. Those who have merits and demerits will be reincarnated in the tenth hall and still be reincarnated in the human realm.If the person who is more evil than good is escorted to the high platform on the right side of the hall, it is called Niejingtai.Let him look in the mirror and reveal all the good and evil things he has done in his life, and then he will be sent to the second hall to be sent to prison to suffer.As soon as Cui Yu and Chen Mengsheng entered the palace, King Qin Guang laughed and said, "The King of Hades in this palace has received a message from Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, and it is indeed Judge Cui's fault to judge the Lord."

Cui Yu furiously said: "Why is it my fault? Cui Yu refuses to accept."

Chen Mengsheng was also puzzled and said: "Chen Mengsheng doesn't quite understand Yan Jun's words?"

"Hehe, two judges, please be safe. The whole story of this matter is that someone designed to get Judge Cui drunk, and changed the birth and death book without the horoscope of Wang Ziqi's birth date and that of his servant Li Mu's birth date." Cui Yu listened. When King Qin Guang mentioned Wang Ziqi's name, his heart was shocked. He seemed to have mentioned this person when he was invited by Liu Minqi in Qingyang Temple a few days ago.After calming down and contemplating for a long time, I finally remembered what happened during the banquet that day.

"Oh, I see. When I checked the file in the Department of Yin Law that day, I suddenly received a letter asking for a talisman. Because the head of the talisman was created by Zhang Tianshi's heir, I went to see what was going on? Later, I went to Qing Dynasty. Yang Guan, Liu Minqi did mention to me that he wanted to find a replacement for Wang Ziqi, but I refused. I didn’t know about it later.” Cui Yu opened the book of life and death in his hand, Wang Ziqi’s birth date Sure enough, it has been changed...

"Liu Minqi, such an idiot, privately changing the book of life and death is already a capital crime. In vain, Zhang Tianshi's heirs know the law and break the law. Where is the deacon?"

The bull heads on both sides of King Qin Guang bowed forward on horseback: "What orders does Judge Cui have?"

"Today, I, Cui Yu, made a mistake. Those who violate the law of the Yin Law and violate their duties should be punished with the Yinhuo stick, and the punishment is twenty. The deacon executes the punishment, and Cui Yu accepts the punishment."

Chen Mengsheng stepped forward and said: "Since this matter has been clarified, Judge Cui is also a person who doesn't know. Chen Mengsheng has the courage to plead with Yan Jun and King Qin Guang, and forgive Judge Cui this time."

King Qin Guang said: "Shangxian intercedes, then forgive Cui Yu."

"No, why do you believe in Yin law if it doesn't follow the Netherworld? Cui Yu thanked Shangxian. If Shangxian didn't point out that Cui Yu almost made a big mistake. The deacon executes the sentence..." Cui Yu was carried back to the Department of Yin Law .

The night is like splashing ink, just as the entire Lin'an City is immersed in tranquility, there is a black shadow sneaking into the night.He walked around the Yushi Mansion in Liuhe Bay, and only jumped up and hid in the Yushi Mansion when he was sure no one was following him.The Wang family and his son were waiting anxiously in the flower hall of Yushifu, only to see a black shadow flashing in front of them.In the hall, there was a masked man in tight night clothes...
