Chapter 397: Five-Rank Judge
The Judge's Hall is located on the left side of the City God's Hall, and it is the head of the civil officials under the City God.
At this time, Feng Qingyan walked into the judge's hall with great anticipation, and he had been envious of the power exercised by the judge for a long time. According to folklore, the chief judge is vicious, insidious and cunning, but most of them are kind and upright at heart, and can sentence people to life and death, punish bad people, and reward good people......
The judge is located in the underworld, responsible for judging the ghosts who come to the underworld, and there are four major civil and military judges, who belong to the Division of Rewarding the Good, Punishing the Evil, the Yin Law Division, and the Inspection Division. The reward judge in charge of the reward department, who is in charge of the good and thin, is dressed in a green robe and has a lovely smile. All the good imps before their lives are arranged by him, and they will be rewarded according to the degree and amount of good deeds before their deaths.
The judge in charge of the punishment of evil, dressed in a purple robe, with angry eyes wide and lips closed, looked like he was doing business. All the ghosts who come to report are first reflected in front of the mirror of evil, showing good and evil, distinguishing between good and bad, and all the evil ghosts who have done evil in their lives are dealt with by him......
Of course, this is just folklore.
At this time, Feng Qingyan had already entered the Judge's Palace, and the layout inside was almost the same as that of the You Fang Palace, only slightly larger, exuding a majestic and solemn atmosphere.
Now he didn't care about anything, and went directly to the god case in the main hall.
On the case, there was a thin book, a brush, and a token. At this time, Feng Qingyan immediately picked up the booklet, and on the front of the booklet there were two words: Reward.
"Kindness?"
Feng Qingyan read softly, the meaning was very obvious.
This book is about a centimeter thick, yellow overall, and feels very light in your hand. At this point, he couldn't wait to open it, and then he was a little surprised, because it was blank and there was nothing.
"This should be the judge's pen. ”
Feng Qingyan picked up the brush and examined it, and after putting it down, he picked up the most important judge's order, and there were a few words on the front of the token: Reward the judge.
The center is a big order.
Feng Qingyan glanced at it, flipped it over, and saw a few lines of words in the back.
Castle Peak City God's Mansion.
Feng Qingyan.
Five products.
"Sure enough, it's the fifth grade, then the city god is at least the fourth grade, or even the third grade......
He put away the book of rewards and the judge's pen, and sat down on the throne with the order of the judge. Immediately after, his eyes glared, and two rays of light burst out like lightning, as if he could see through everything.
At this time, he somewhat understood why his eyes became like that, which could be breathtaking. Because the judge needs a pair of eyes that distinguish right from wrong, distinguish between black and white, and see through truth and falsehood, otherwise how can he know who is good and who is evil?
Then, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, since there are judges who reward good, then naturally there are also judges who punish evil. Sure enough, next to this case, there was another case. His attention has been on this case, and he has actually ignored the other one.
These two divine cases are listed side by side on the Hall of Judges.
At this time, he immediately walked to the divine case next to him, and there were also three items on the divine case, namely the punishment book, the judge's pen, and the punishment judge's order.
"It turned out to be a double judge of reward and punishment, one judge was in charge of rewarding the good, and the other judge was in charge of punishing the evil......"
In the order of punishing the evil judge, he also has his name, and he is the same as the reward judge, and he is the same five-grade yin god. There is no distinction between the judge of reward for good and the judge for punishment of evil, there is no distinction between size and subordination, everyone sits on an equal footing, but the division of labor is different. And the punishment of evil and reward of good are similar, except that it is not yellow but black, and there is also a blank inside.
At this time, he sat quietly in the judge's seat, and the judge's order in his hand also came with a message about the judge. It's just that the information that came out of the judge's order didn't seem to be very complete, which made him a little puzzled. In addition, the power of the judge seems to be very vague, and it is simply about rewarding good and punishing evil. And the specific reward and punishment, the reward and punishment, and the reward and punishment, but there is no mention of ......
"How so? Seems a little weird......"
Feng Qingyan couldn't help frowning, and he was quite puzzled in his heart, the functions of the judge were not clear, and the power could not be distinguished, how could he reward the good and punish the evil? However, it seemed that in this way, his power would be greater, and he could be rewarded and punished at will.
But in this way, isn't it easy to practice favoritism and irregularities and violate law and discipline?
Hey, no, there is another very important point, that is, the Judge Hall needs the cooperation of many priests, otherwise it will be difficult to proceed at all.
For example, if the judge wants to reward and punish a common man, he needs to provide the land for household registration, and the Cha Guo Si and the Gong Gong Si will find out the merits and faults of that common man. If it is a good person, it will be handed to the Reward Division, which will examine it and then submit it to the Judge's Palace, and the Reward Judge will reward it. After rewarding the judge, it will be handed over to the Express Reporting Division for implementation......
If it is an evil person, it will be handed to the Punishment Division, which will review it and submit it to the Judge's Palace, and the Punishment Judge will punish it, and then hand it over to the Rapid Reporting Division for implementation.
Moreover, in this process, the cooperation of other priests will be directly or indirectly required.
In fact, the power of the judge is not as great as in folklore, and he can reward and punish at will. Moreover, the judge will have a lot of restraints, which makes Feng Qingyan a little surprised, no wonder it will be so. However, the functions of this Division of Rewarding the Good and Punishing the Evil seem to be somewhat duplicative with those of the judges, and if they are not duplicated, they are intended to limit the power of the Judges' Palace......
This quick report division is that after the judge's judgment, they will quickly report good and evil.
The so-called quick report is reported as soon as possible, which is equivalent to the current newspaper.
However, after all, the judges of rewarding the good and punishing the evil are only the judges of the City God's Mansion, not the legendary four judges of the Difu, and their power is limited.
In folklore, Judge Cui holds the life and death book in his left hand, and holds the soul hook pen in his right hand, rewarding the good and punishing the evil, managing the life and death of people, just a little hook, who should die and who should not die, only in a moment......
This kind of power that can decide a person's life and death, I'm afraid that even Chenghuang doesn't have it.
Even if there is, they don't dare to mess around.
At this time, Feng Qingyan couldn't help but smile bitterly, his Judge Palace, without the cooperation of other palaces, seemed to be unable to operate at all. Otherwise, he can only complete it by himself, from the land to the inspection division, the merit examination division, to the reward division, the punishment of evil, and then the process of the quick report division......
That's a lot of work.
Without the cooperation of the Divisions, even the hundreds of judges in the City God's Mansion would not be able to keep busy.
After a while, he walked out of the Hall of Judges and came to the Hall of Impermanence, which was placed side by side with the Hall of Judges.
In the Temple of Impermanence, it is naturally black and white impermanence.
In folklore, these two gods are handcuffed with shackles, dedicated to hunting ghosts, helping to reward good and punish evil, and are the generals of the gods of the underworld such as King Yama and Chenghuang.
