Youshu thought that after leaving the soul, he would come directly to the Netherworld Temple like in a dream, but he never expected to appear on a wide road. There is no place to see from behind this road, and there is no way to go forward, and there are bushes of thorns and flowers on both sides, and there is a soaring black mist in the air, which looks very gloomy and depressing.

Many people passed by him, with pained or numb expressions on their faces. All of them were scrawny and ragged, some walking alone, some dragging their children and daughters, and walking faster and faster, as if there was something in front of them that attracted them.

Is this Huangquan Road? Thinking like this, Youshu also walked forward with the flow of people. Because the speed of time in the underworld is synchronized with the Yang World, he must return by tomorrow morning. His body is still lying in prison, and if he is not resurrected by dawn, the officials will determine that he is dead, and then dig a pit and bury him, or worse, they will erase the soul separation charm from his forehead, leaving him in the underworld forever.

Under the urgency, Youshu had to squeeze away from the ghosts on both sides, rushed forward with her head bored, accidentally knocked down an old woman, and hurriedly bent down to help. The old woman groaned and stood up, looked at him for a few moments and exclaimed, "Oh, isn't this Xiao Zhao County Order?" You, why are you dead? What about my son, daughter-in-law, grandson, and granddaughter? ”

The old woman began to cry as she spoke, attracting the attention of the ghosts around her. It was only at this time that they discovered that a living soul had actually mixed in, and this living soul was still Suichang's parent official. Hades is a reflection of the mortal world, that is to say, how big the mortal world is, how wide the Hades is, this Huangquan Road is coincidental, it is the official road for the ghosts of Lishui Mansion to go to the Hades, and these ghosts are all people who died in the disaster.

The number of them has reached more than 100,000, and the huge Huangquan Road is crowded, and some people are squeezed into the thorn bushes on the side of the road because of their weak souls, and their legs are bloody and blurred. But as long as you take a closer look, you will find that most of them come from other counties, and there are very few ghosts in Suichang, just because Suichang has produced a good official who has done his best and died, and even donated all his net worth to protect the people, and fed a party of water and soil.

The people of other counties felt that they were not blessed to meet such a good official, but it did not prevent them from being full of admiration and love for Xiao Zhao County Order. On the way to Hades, as long as they meet the ghost of Suichang, they will definitely come over to talk to them, and they must repeatedly tell them how Xiao Zhao County Ling rescued the suffering and helped the people, and they are all eagerly looking forward to being born in Suichang after reincarnation, which can be regarded as a real way to live.

Suichang has also died a lot of people in recent days, but they are not starving to death, but dying of the plague. This is also a helpless thing.

Like the old woman, she died of the plague. She was transferred to the quarantine area by Xiao Zhao County, she had food to eat and medicine to drink every day, and on the day she died, Xiao Zhao County Order also personally checked her pulse and applied a dose of fierce medicine, but she was old and frail, and she still couldn't survive. Seeing the big bowl of good medicine wasted on herself, a man who was about to die, the old woman was very ashamed, and repeatedly asked Xiao Zhao County Commander to stop treating herself, but Xiao Zhao County Decree told her: Every life is precious, and he will not give up anyone until the last moment.

This sentence made the old woman cry bitterly, and then passed away with a satisfied smile. Because she knows that with Xiao Zhao's county order, her son, daughter-in-law, grandson, and granddaughter will definitely be able to live peacefully. Born in Suichang in this life and living under the rule of Xiaozhao County, it is really worth it.

Therefore, you can imagine how sad and desperate she was when she met Xiao Zhao County Commander on Huangquan Road.

Youshu has an amazing memory, and she quickly recognized the old woman, and hurriedly patted her back to comfort her, and then briefly explained what happened. When the surrounding souls heard that this was the famous Xiao Zhao County Order, they all pricked up their ears to listen, and at this time, they couldn't help but be excited, and immediately vacated a straight road like the current of the sea, and shouted, "The dead ghost in front of you quickly let go, this is the Xiao Zhao County Order!" He was wronged and aggrieved, and at the time of life and death, he had to go to the palace of Hades to beat the drum of injustice. Let's let's go, let's let go! ”

The old woman also pushed Youshu on the back and urged him to leave quickly.

"Is it really Xiao Zhao's county order?"

"Hurry, hurry, get out of the way! Don't miss the big event of Xiao Zhao's county order! ”

"It's hard for Dayong to come up with such a good official, can't he tolerate it? It must have been Wang Xiangcai's bastard who did it! He will not die well! ”

"It's really Xiao Zhao's county order, he personally served me rice porridge! I know him! Let's make it! ”

The souls of the dead heard the wind, you nodded my back, I poked your back, passed the news all the way to the front, and then miraculously, on this endless Huangquan Road, a passage was quickly separated, allowing Youshu to pass unimpeded. Because the road became narrower, many souls were squeezed into the thorn bushes, covered with injuries, but they did not complain, and repeatedly urged Xiao Zhao County to go quickly.

Xiaozhao County Order is not only the blue sky above the heads of the people of Suichang, but also the mirror in the hearts of the villagers in various counties. Such a good official must not die at the hands of that group of brutes.

Seeing this scene, Youshu had mixed feelings, but because of the urgency of time, she couldn't stop and say goodbye to everyone. He ran and shouted "thank you" as he went, and went to the underworld, hidden at the end of the darkness.

After running for an unknown amount of time, a towering city tower finally appeared in front of me, and a ghost was guarding the city gate with a sword and halberd, asking about the ghosts of the past. Before Youshu ran closer, many ghosts were waving to him, "Xiao Zhao County Order, come here, we will help you take a position!" ”

It turned out that there was a queue to enter the city, so someone always occupied the first place, Xiao Zhao County order did not come, they let the ghosts behind them enter, Xiao Zhao County order came, naturally he was the priority.

Youshu said words of thanks repeatedly, walked up to the ghost and spread his arms, and asked the other party to check. The ghost sniffed and wondered, "Why are you a living soul?" According to the rules, no living soul is allowed to enter the city unless it ......" he twisted his thumb with a greedy expression.

This is the Huangquan Road of Lishui Mansion, and the ghost who is responsible for guarding the city is naturally the ghost of Lishui Mansion. The chief of the guard, who happened to be from Suichang, hurried over when he heard this, slapped the guard's head off, and insulted, "I--your grandma's legs-!" Even our Xiao Zhao County Order dares to make things difficult! Sue you, now that Lord Yama has already changed, if you still can't get rid of the bad habit of accepting bribes, Lao Tzu will sue you, peel your skin and cramp into the oil pot, and throw you into the hungry ghost road! ”

The guard trembled in horror and hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty. The chief of the guard didn't care about him, dragged Youshu and went to the city, walked to a archway, and pointed, "My lord, just go up and beat the drum of injustice, naturally there will be a ghost to take you to the Netherworld Palace." Don't be afraid, in this Yeosu realm, no ghost will hurt you. ”

Youshu himself can't see it, but the ghost cha has some Taoism, and he can faintly feel the golden light of merit coming out of his body. It is a kind of compassionate and warm feeling, once it is close, the anger in the body will be purified, and even the most powerful ghost cannot bear to kill the killer. What's more, the name of Xiao Zhao's county order has already spread all over the ground and underground, and I don't know how many people have his immortal card in their homes, and the light of the card is also a way to protect himself.

Youshu thanked him again and again, then picked up the mallet and knocked it hard a few times, and sure enough, two ghosts came in a hurry and took him to the center of the city. The captain waited until he disappeared at the end of the road before turning back to work.

The group walked quickly and arrived at a temple, and one of the ghosts seemed to be confirming, "Are you Zhao Youshu, the commander of Suichang County, who is a living soul, with a golden light of merit, and a descendant of Xia Qiguoshi?" ”

Youshu thought this was a routine inquiry, so she nodded yes. The two ghosts looked at each other, and there was a hint of joy in their eyes. They changed their course without a trace, and took Youshu to a gloomy underground palace, and a ghost left for a while, saying that he would go in and pass through, and after a while, he hurriedly ran over and slapped a black token in his hand on Youshu's forehead.

A black light flashed, followed by a burst of dizziness, and when Shu Hui was clear, he found himself standing in an empty hall, supported by eight pillars, carved with mystical runes, each of which was connected to a thick chain, and finally tied to a blue-faced fanged ghost. The ghost sits in the center of the eight pillars, and the floor tiles around him are also painted with formation graphics, flickering from time to time.

Youshu carefully looked at the array diagram, and couldn't find a similar one in the old man's inheritance, but from a few runes in it, it was inferred that this should be a sealing array, and the driving force came from the ghost qi of the underworld. In other words, if the sealed ghost wants to regain its freedom, unless it waits until the day when there is no more soul in the underworld, and the soul will be automatically absorbed into it if it comes within three feet of the magic circle, and it will become the nourishment for the large array.

How can an underworld be called an underworld without a soul? It can be seen that this powerful ghost is quite big, and the person who suppressed him is even more skilled. Youshu was full of doubts in her heart, and she already understood that she was calculated. Bring one of his living souls here, corrode the dead qi in the formation with his anger, and with the blessing of merit and golden light, the formation may be destroyed, if it is the formation eye that is unfortunately destroyed, this powerful ghost will be able to break free from the shackles in an instant.

He immediately stayed away and watched quietly.

The terrible ghost waited for a long time and didn't see Youshu throw himself into the net, so he had to wave at him, "You are Zhao Youshu of Suichang County?" I heard you have a grievance to sue. ”

I think that the ghost had been here before, and he had already told him about his situation. But what is the origin of him, he opens his mouth to ask himself about his grievances? If it weren't for the fact that Youshu had seen the real King of Yama, according to the tone of this powerful ghost, he would really regard him as the Lord of the Netherworld.

"It's really Zhao Youshu below, dare to ask who your Excellency is?" There is a slight arch of hands.

"You came to this king to complain, but you still asked who this king is?" The ghost stood up and shook the dark robe on his body.

Youshu pointed to the pillar and then to the chain, silently expressing her doubts. Until the situation is discovered, it is better for him to talk less.

The ghost's eyes were full of blood, and there was a hint of anger, but he barely held it back, and sighed pretendingly, "It's a long story, this king was originally the lord of the underworld, but he was usurped by the demon of the deaf prison and sealed this king here. Do you see if the world is ravaged by floods, droughts are rampant, officials are **, the monarch has no way, and the people are not happy? This is all the heavenly punishment of the devil usurping the throne. If we don't let this king out and reorganize the underworld, sooner or later the world will become hell, and hell will become a world. You are a rare good official, how can you abandon the people? If you save this king, you have saved the people, saved the great yong, and saved the world. ”

He said so much, but Youshu only paid attention to one point, "The prison of the room? What is that? ”

"It's not a room, it's deaf, and the ghost dies for deafness. There are eighteen levels of hell, and the Hell of the Deaf is still beneath the underworld, a place where all demons and demons cannot set foot. Now the king of Yama sitting in the hall of the underworld is the demon of the prison of deafness, and I don't know what means he used to replace this king, and also killed the king's twenty-four prison masters and ten halls of Yama, and finally replaced them all with his henchmen. It is precisely because he is a disaster to the government that he leads the world to mourn and starve. When the words fell, the ghost sighed again, but because he looked too hideous and ugly, he didn't look compassionate, but extremely terrifying.

Youshu took a step forward slightly, as if she was moved.

There was a glow of ecstasy in the ghost's eyes, and it quickly disappeared, anxiously waiting for his approach. At this moment, the tall man led several prison masters to hurry over, intending to pull Youshu out, but he suddenly stopped, and then cast a spell to hide everyone's figures.

"Master, what do you want to do? It's important to bring people out! A prison master whispered.

"Look again." The man waved his hand.

Because of the man's profoundness, Youshu didn't even notice his arrival, let alone the powerful ghost who had already been sealed. He walked around the circle twice, and slowly spoke, "So, I'll give you an analysis, can you see if what I said is right?" ”

The ghost was impatient and urged, "You let this king out first, and then it's not too late to tell your grievances." You just have to put your hands on this character, isn't it easy? At that time, this king will not only severely punish your enemies, but also give you five hundred years of longevity plus endless glory and wealth. This is the biggest temptation for ordinary people, and even if the lord of the dynasty stands here, he may not be able to resist it.

Youshu took a closer look, and the character was so coincidental that it was above the array. Unmoved, he said, "That's right, I find inconsistencies in your statement. I can't get the evidence on the side, so I'll say two things: first, I was arrested and interrogated by the underworld, and fourth, the prison master said that the corrupt officials in the mortal world all escaped from the animal path. At that time, I thought, how can a beast who is born in the way of a beast be reincarnated? Doesn't the king of Yama care? Isn't it too late for them to come to the reckoning after they have plagued hundreds of people? Second, when I entered the city, because I was a living soul, I was asked for silver taels. The chief of the guard said, 'Now that the Lord of Yama has already changed, if you still can't get rid of the bad habit of accepting bribes, Lao Tzu will sue you, peel your skin and cramp into the oil pot, and throw you into the hungry ghost road'. From this I deduce: one, when you reigned, the rulers of the underworld were the same as those of the mortal world**; Second, the six realms of reincarnation have long been chaotic under your management, so that people are not ghosts. ”

He slowly stopped and looked directly at the ghost, "The reason why the mortal world is raging with floods and droughts is rampant is not the current Netherworld Lord, but the beasts who have been indulged and reincarnated by you. You treat people as animals, and animals as people, and you deserve to be sealed forever. ”

He took a few steps back and bowed slightly, "I'm sorry, just stay here, I should go." Destiny is unusual, but virtue is supplemented, no matter who the person in the hall is, as long as there is virtue, he can live in it. The words fell and walked out of the hall.

The ghost never expected this person to be so sharp and upright, and hurriedly shouted, "Wait! If you let this king out, this king will give you a thousand years of longevity and add high-ranking officials, and even the appearance of the emperor can be! ”

Youshu walked faster and faster, "Opening your mouth and closing your mouth is to lure each other with profit, a ghost like you, it's better not to be the king of Hades, otherwise the officials under your rule will become like you." The underworld is in charge of life and death, if you give a lot of money, let him have a good birth, whether he is a beast or a demon before his death, what should the soul of the dead who does good deeds and accumulate virtue do? Will the next life suffer the same? There is no good reward, and there is no evil end, what is the difference between the world and hell? If I let you go, I will not be able to escape the blame! ”

"Damn, what Lao Tzu really hates the most is you Qing officials, and I don't know what is in my head! This king remembers you, if you can go out one day, you will definitely be tortured in turn to the Shura Dao, the Hungry Ghost Dao, and the Animal Dao! The ghost shouted angrily.

Youshu heard it but didn't hear it, and quickly ran towards the temple gate, but unexpectedly bumped into a tall man with a mask on his face. The man's chest was very cold and stiff, but it was also extremely thick and strong, he stretched out his arms around Youshu's slender waist, and said in a deep voice, "Slow down, beware of falling." ”

Youshu looked up and couldn't help but be overjoyed, "You're here!" ”

The man couldn't help but feel joy in his heart when he saw him holding on to his arm, his eyes were bright, and the corners of his lips were slightly raised, but he didn't show it. He helped Youshu to stand firmly, and said, "This king is here to save you." ”

"Lord Zhao really has a heart like a mirror, and he was not bewitched by this culprit." The Fourth Prison Master stepped forward and gave his hand.

After the old department of the former underworld lord took people away, many people from Suichang rushed to the Netherworld Temple to inquire about the lawsuit of Xiao Zhao County, and they knew that there was actually a wisp of soul into the underworld, and it was still a Qing official who was highly respected by the master, and immediately came to save people. Just now, they really pinched a cold sweat for Xiao Zhao's county order. If he was bewitched by the former underworld lord and really went to solve the formation, he didn't know what would happen. Fortunately, there is no void under the fame, he is as smart as the rumors, his eyes are clear, and his temperament is pure, and he can tell at a glance whether he is a person or a ghost.

Youshu was about to answer, but saw King Yama pointing to his buttocks and asked in a cold voice, "You were tortured?" ”

When he looked back, he realized that his prison clothes were stained with blood, and his eyes couldn't help but be slightly red. He is dedicated to rehousing the victims, how could he have expected that someone would frame him behind him? It is too difficult to be an official in the Great Yong Country, and it is even more difficult to be a good official. Thinking of the ordeal he had endured these days, he looked more and more aggrieved.

"It's okay, this king will do justice for you!" The man touched Youshu's head, then grabbed him by the wrist and strode out.

The cold temperature, the slow and intimate touch, made Youshu feel inexplicably familiar. Something flashed through his mind, but he couldn't catch it, so he had to keep up. When they arrived at the Netherworld Temple, there were already ghosts who brought everyone involved in the case to the hall and kneeled down one by one.

"Sit here." The man gestured to the heavily upholstered chair on his left.

Youshu didn't dare to refuse, sat down slowly, and twisted her ass when she felt the pain was unbearable. The man dragged him to his side, reached out and kneaded him, and quickly let go when he jumped up, "Okay, sit in peace." ”

Hey, it's really good! This king of Yama is indeed a good god! Youshu praised it in her heart, and her dark eyes naturally revealed reverence. The man looked at him deeply, and then he slapped the startled Tang Mu and shouted, "Whoever is in the hall, automatically report your name." ”

There were hundreds of people detained in the palace, including the prefect Wang, county officials, witnesses, and chasers who had joined forces to falsely accuse Youshu, as well as their comrades who were killed by them in order to erase the evidence. The living soul confronted the dead ghost, and there was the shock of Yama and the twenty-four prison masters in the palace, and there was almost no interrogation, and everyone confessed their crimes one after another.

It turned out that Naqin Cha clearly knew that Youshu was wronged, and he also knew that the silver had already been divided by the prefect of Wang and others, and he also knew that the real bandit leader was actually the subordinates of the prefect of Wang's mansion. Who told Youshu to reform and take the right path?

Qin Cha received half of the disaster silver from the prefect of the king, a total of 500,000 taels, and ate his conscience by himself. Not only did he help falsify the incriminating evidence, but he also planned to use his privilege to cut it first and then to play it, even if someone from above was sent to review it, it would be difficult to overturn the case without evidence.

When he confessed here, Youshu was so angry that he almost crushed a mouthful of silver teeth, his eyes widened, and he tried his best to express his anger. However, as soon as he pursed his lips, the small dimples on the side of his cheeks appeared, not only did he not have a sense of intimidation, but he was very pitiful and cute.

The man was still listening, and after glancing at him, he began to think about it, slowly tilting his head away, silently admiring.

"Master, the charges have been confirmed, please send them down." After the interrogation, one of the prison guards gave up his hand and repeated it again when he saw that there had been no movement in the hall for a long time.

Youshu also looked over puzzled.

Only then did the man come back to his senses, slowly raised his head and sat up straight, took out an account book from the table, and said while sketching, "Wang Xiangcai, the original Yangshou was sixty-eight, and now it is reduced to forty-four, and after death, he will enter the stone grinding hell, and the sentence will be one thousand years, and he will enter the Shura Dao after the completion of his sentence; Hao Zuosi, the original Yangshou was seventy-five, now reduced to forty-six, and after his death, he entered the volcanic hell and was sentenced to eight hundred years, and after the completion of his sentence, he entered the Hungry Ghost Dao ......"

The prefect of the king is exactly forty-four this year, and the Qin cha is forty-six, which means that they originally had more than 20 years to live, but they cut off the remaining life expectancy because of their evil deeds. Not only that, but after death, they will enter the path of Shura and the path of hungry ghosts, and suffer from endless reincarnation.

The two of them were scared at this time, crying in the hall and shouting their fathers and mothers, kowtowing more than once, and the rest of the accomplices also begged for mercy loudly, crying and crying.

Seeing that all those who harmed him were retributed, Youshu finally felt comfortable in her heart, and turned her head to look at King Yama with adoring and eager eyes. Although this ghost crawled out of the prison of deafness, he is more discerning between good and evil than the gods and Buddhas, and it is no exaggeration to say that he is now the embodiment of justice and the messenger of love in Youshu's heart.

The man enjoyed his adoration very much, and his eyes were faintly warm, but the words he said were even more cruel, "Take it down, peel the skin that should be peeled, gouge out the eyes and cut the tongue, and whip the whip that should be whipped...... Be careful, don't kill them, and the judgment of the Yang World must be passed again. ”

The twenty-four prison masters promised in unison that they would sew up their souls again after they had broken them up, and the taste of pain was enough for them to live forever.
