Zhen Yujiang's face was pale.

The judge called the tall figure "Great King", and that was Lord Yama.

Zhen Yujiang was cold to the bone, his arms were hugged to his chest, and he was already kneeling on the ground.

"What soul do you kneel?" Hades asked.

Zhen Yujiang has been pampered since he was born, and he has always lived a life of being a human being, at this time, there is no wisp, cold to the bone, in this yīn Sensen place, there is no longer the slightest courage, and he said in a trembling voice: "I am ..... I am Zhen Yujiang, the king is above, begging the king to spare his life. ”

"Your soul is here, what else do you want to spare?" King Hades said: "Zhen Yujiang, do you confess your sins in the yang world on your own, or do you want this king to interrogate one by one?" ”

"King, I have no sin, I ......!"

The judge shouted, "Shut up, you dare to deceive the king." What you do in the yang world is recorded in the book of life and death, and you alone occupy several pages of the book of life and death, which is really full of evil. He said in a deep voice: "Come on, let him sober up and think about it." ”

The two ghosts carried two buckets, filled with water, walked to Zhen Yujiang's side, one left and one right, and poured them on Zhen Yujiang.

The cold water was as cold as ice, Zhen Yujiang's whole body tightened, and he screamed "ouch", but he didn't dare to dodge.

His skin and tender flesh were fine, where had he suffered like this, two buckets of water poured down, his whole body trembled, and he hugged his arms tightly.

"King, Zhen Yujiang has been evil in his life, and so far, he has done a total of 3,975 evil things, of which 786 are big evils, and the rest are small evils." The judge shook his head and said: "This kind of evil ghost, there is no need to interrogate, my lord, I think it is better to take him back directly to the underworld and beat him into the eighteenth layer of hell, and the torture of the underworld will be received from beginning to end." ”

Zhen Yujiang's soul was broken, thinking that I had done so many evil things? Thinking that even if he became a soul, he would not be able to withstand the torture of the underworld, and said in a trembling voice: "The king is gracious, I have committed a great crime, I ask the king for forgiveness, I will never dare to do evil in the future, I will definitely change my ways, and I ask the king to give me another chance." ”

"Shut up." The bull-headed horses shouted in unison: "No noise." ”

"Zhen Yujiang, do you know Zhen Huaqing?" The judge looked through the book of life and death, and the black light blinded him to his eyes, and asked: "Zhen Huaqing's yang life should also be exhausted, why didn't Zhen Huaqing's soul be detained?" ”

Niu Tou said: "Back to the judge, you have issued a life and death signature for the arrest of Zhen Yujiang, but you have not issued a life and death signature for the arrest of Zhen Huaqing." ”

"Oh?" The judge said, "That was my negligence. Well, Zhen Huaqing's Yangshou is still a few days away, and I will supply you with life and death signs when I go back. ”

Zhen Yujiang couldn't help but say, "Father..... My father's longevity is also over? ”

"That's nature." The judge said: "Your father and son are all evil, but your Zhen family's ancestors are in the shade of virtue, so that Zhen Huaqing can live to this age, but Zhen Huaqing himself is evil, and he has no virtue, plus you yourself are also evil, so your yang life will be exhausted so soon." If Zhen Huaqing accumulates more virtues in this life, your yang life can last for more than 20 years. ”

Zhen Yujiang hurriedly said: "King, my father has done evil, and ..... It has nothing to do with me, please let the king call the shots, don't let him implicate me. ”

"He has a father-son relationship with you in the yang world, and what he did, you naturally can't get rid of the relationship." Hades said, "Don't you recognize him as your father?" ”

"I ..... I'm me, he's his .....! Zhen Yujiang said in a trembling voice: "King, if.... If you can prolong my life, I would rather cut off relations with him. ”

Hades said, "You were born as fathers and sons, right?"

Say it? If you really cut off the father-son relationship with him, it is indeed impossible for his sinful karma to implicate you, your body is not damaged, and you can continue to live for 18 years. ”

"I'm broken, I'm broken." Zhen Yujiang said without hesitation: "King, I will break off the father-son relationship with him. ”

The judge shouted: "Whether or not to cut off the blood relatives in the yang world is not up to you. Although the underworld is judged by good and evil, you have not yet entered the ghost gate, so you are still tied to the yang world, and you are still with him for the time being. Unless he is a man of all evils, disloyal, unfilial, unkind, and unjust, such a great treacherous and evil, the king may be able to allow you to cut off relations with him, otherwise you can't. ”

Zhen Yujiang was stunned, and the king of Hades had already said: "Bull head and horse face, escort the wandering soul Zhen Yujiang to the underworld, pass through the ghost gate, and enter the eighteenth layer of hell." ”

Niu Tou Ma took two steps forward, and Zhen Yujiang had already shouted, "Wait a minute." He said to the king of Hades: "Great king, is it my father..... No, no, is Zhen Huaqing disloyal, unfilial, unkind and unjust, so I can cut off relations with him? ”

"Not bad." Hades said.

Zhen Yujiang immediately said: "I can prove that he is indeed an unfaithful, unfilial, unkind and unrighteous person, ask the king for mercy, I want to cut off the father-son relationship with him." ”

"Zhen Yujiang, do you know that if you cut off the relationship with him, his sinful karma will not affect you, of course you can repay the yang, but in the next life, he will be reduced to a beast, a pig, a dog, a cow and a sheep." Hades said slowly, "Would you like to see him fall into the beast path?" ”

Zhen Yujiang gritted his teeth and said: "He is a great traitor, and he deserves this retribution." ”

"You say that he is unfaithful, unfilial, unkind, and unjust, what do you say?" The judge asked.

Zhen Yujiang was poured with two buckets of cold water, his body was drenched, the cold breath seeped into his bones, and his whole body trembled, but he still said: "He has the intention of rebellion, because he is disloyal." Seeing that both the judge and the king of Hades seemed to be staring at him, he continued: "When he betrayed the imperial court, he watched the Duhu army fight with the enemy army, but refused to support, and he was already disloyal at that time. Later, the imperial court awarded him the title of marquis, and he was always worried that the imperial court would settle accounts after the autumn, secretly hoarding grain and grass, raising dead soldiers, and training soldiers and horses, that is, ..... It's preparing for rebellion, my lord, this ..... Is this disloyal to the imperial court? ”

Hades said, "It is indeed unfaithful. ”

"What he did all his life is recorded in the book of life and death." The judge said slowly: "But this time you want to cut off relations with him, so you must personally tell his sinful karma, if what you say is consistent with what is recorded in the book of life and death, the king is gracious, and you can indeed return the yang." ”

Zhen Yujiang hugged his arms, his whole body was shivering, and he nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, I will confess truthfully." ”

"Did he have an affair with an enemy country?" The judge asked, "If there is such a sin, it is a great disloyalty." ”

Zhen Yujiang hesitated for a moment before he said: "There must be, although I don't confirm it, but when the Wutuo people attacked Xiling, he secretly colluded with the Wutuo people, and I believe that he is still secretly breaking the connection with the enemy country and betraying the Tang Dynasty." ”

"It's all written down." The judge looked back, and in the dimness, Zhen Yujiang vaguely saw that there was a person recording behind the judge.

"You say he's unkind, what do you say?"

"He imposed taxes on the people, and if anyone resisted, he would send someone to suppress it." Zhen Yujiang said: "There is a village where people are in a famine and can't pay taxes, so he framed the people in the village for rebellion, sent troops to arrest many people in the village, put them on death row, and then beheaded them in public. He hoped that these people from the underworld would have a good impression of him, confess and be lenient, and continued: "Also, he was unfilial, back then

In order to inherit the position of patriarch, he forced his seriously ill grandfather to pass on the position of patriarch to him, but his grandfather did not agree, and he deliberately pierced his grandfather's acupuncture points with silver needles, so that his grandfather's life was worse than death. ”

The judge said, "Very well, you continue." ”

"There is another thing, I am not sure, it is said that when he was young, he fell in love with the wife of his sworn brother, and in order to get the woman, he killed his sworn brother, and then the woman did not obey him, and after he took the woman, he caused the woman to kill herself." Zhen Yujiang said: "King, is this unjust? ”

King Hades said: "Judge, Zhen Yujiang's words, it seems that Zhen Huaqing is really a disloyal, unfilial, unkind and unrighteous person, if he wants to cut off relations with those people, it is okay." ”

"Put a mudra on him." The judge commanded, and then leaned closer to Hades and whispered.

The ghost who recorded the crime took the guilt and went over, wrapped in a black sè robe all over his body, when he walked around, his body was light and fluttering, like a ghost, when he approached, Zhen Yujiang didn't dare to look at it, and under the command of the ghost, he pressed his handprint on the crime, and the ghost retreated with the charge.

"Zhen Yujiang, the judge thinks you are quite confessed." Hades said: "But the law of the yang world, parents are the sky, you cut off the relationship between father and son, that is to cut off the fate of the sky, it is also a great evil, plus you yourself are also evil in the yang world, so the judge and this king can discuss you to return the yang, but to give you a small punishment, are you willing to accept it?" ”

"As long as I can return the yang, I am willing to accept any punishment." Zhen Yujiang died and lived, and his heart was overjoyed.

The judge shouted, "Someone, take the soldering iron." ”

As soon as the word "soldering iron" came out, Zhen Yujiang was frightened again, and when he saw Niu Tou Ma Mian, he quickly carried an iron bucket over, and in the iron bucket was a burning charcoal fire, Niu Tou took out a red-hot soldering iron from the iron bucket, and said to Zhen Yujiang: "Lie on the ground and lift your buttocks." ”

Zhen Yujiang also asked for mercy, the king of Yama snorted, seemed to be a little dissatisfied with Zhen Yujiang's non-cooperation, Zhen Yujiang had no choice but to lie on the ground, pouted his buttocks, and threw him a stinky cloth towel with a horse face, Zhen Yujiang knew what it meant, and bit the stinky cloth towel into his mouth, and the bull head stepped forward with a soldering iron, and he didn't talk nonsense, "Bang", Zhen Yujiang's buttocks came up with a puff of green smoke, although Zhen Yujiang bit the stinky cloth towel, he still screamed "ah", and then fainted in pain.

I don't know how long, I felt a burst of coldness all over my body, and a bucket of water splashed on his head, Zhen Yujiang was stirred by the cold water, and woke up slowly, the surrounding area was still a terrible atmosphere, and the pain in the buttocks was still not gone, only to hear the king of Yama say: "Zhen Yujiang, you cut off the relationship between father and son, Zhen Huaqing's sins can't affect you, so this king extends your eighteen years of yang life, let you return yang, but there are very few people who return yang after death, you see this king and the people of the underworld today, if you talk nonsense after returning yang, it will reveal the heavenly secrets of the underworld, So.....! ”

Zhen Yujiang was afraid that the king of Hades would not let him return to the yang, so he said weakly: "King, I will never dare to divulge a word, I know.... I know that the secret of heaven cannot be divulged, and if half a word comes out of my mouth, I ..... I am willing to be sent to the eighteenth layer of hell, and I will never be able to live beyond the heavens. ”

"That's very good." Hades said: "Come on, give him Yang soup." ”

A ghost sent a bowl of soup to Zhen Yujiang, Zhen Yujiang carefully picked up the soup bowl and approached his mouth, but he smelled a fishy smell, like urine, but it was important to return to yang, and said, "Thank you, your lord, thank you, judge." "I am afraid that the ghost will accept the Huanyang soup, but he will drink a bowl of Huanyang soup that exudes a fishy smell, but for fear that the effect will not be good, he also licked the bottom of the bowl, and there is not a drop left.
