After killing more than 2,000 reincarnated ghosts who rushed to the pass, the frightened ghosts that came all the way from Huangquan Road finally calmed down, stopped running around, and honestly stayed where they were, waiting for us to deal with them.

But in the distance, all kinds of ghosts and wolves still came from the direction of Wangxiangtai. It is estimated that the Yin army over there is not as easy to talk as we are, and has been slaughtering those innocent reincarnated ghosts. The ghosts who ran to the front of the ghost gate were also trembling when they heard this, and at the same time they were secretly glad that they did not listen to the instigation of other ghosts, and desperately wanted to cut the line to the front.

After a night of trouble, the Yin army completely suppressed the reincarnation ghost riot on Huangquan Road, and let them line up the reincarnation team again. However, almost all of the Yin Men under Niu Tou Ma Mian were killed by ghosts in this riot, and the Division of Rewarding Kindness and Punishing Evil also suffered serious impact and damage, it is estimated that the reincarnation system of the underworld will not be able to resume normal operation without ten days and half a month.

The next day, the king of Yama summoned officials of all sizes from the prefecture to hold a meeting in the Yama Palace, and officers above the rank of Yin general also participated.

"Bull head and horse noodles!" King Yama looked pale, and as soon as he came up, he was furious, "How do you manage this Huangquan Road?" It's such a big mess, don't you want it? ”

"The minister is guilty! Guilty of sin! The bull-headed horses fell to their knees and replied tremblingly.

"What the hell is going on? Say it! ”

Niu Tou swallowed his saliva and said first: "Your Majesty, last night's minister's rotation was closed, and I rushed over after learning that something happened on Huangquan Road. I still have to ask for the details before, and ask the horse on duty ......"

"You!" The horse was furious when he glared at the bull head, but because the king of Yama was sitting on the throne, he did not dare to scold the bull head in court. Moreover, these two people are now effectively grasshoppers tied to a rope.

So, Ma Mian had to swallow this evil breath, lowered his head and explained in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, after the minister inspected the reincarnation procession on Huangquan Road last night, everything is still normal. The ministers are ...... I went to the Niutou Mansion to drink tea and chat with him, and when I was ready to arrive, I went through the handover procedures and handed it over to the Niutou on duty. ”

"However, as soon as we arrived, there was a sudden commotion outside. One of my subordinates hurriedly came to report that dozens of and ink ghosts had somehow been mixed in with the reincarnation team, and suddenly they all burst into a chorus and coerced those reincarnated ghosts to squeeze forward! My men went to stop them, and they killed them on the spot, and the rest of the scene got out of hand......"

"Lie!"

The king of Yama opened his eyes with rage, pointed at the head of the ox and the face of the horse with his two fingers in the middle of the food, and rebuked, "Do you two think that I am deaf and blind, and let you play and fool me?" Last night, the two of you were drinking tea and chatting in Niutou Mansion, obviously you just got together to drink wine and eat meat, and get drunk and make a mess! After the accident, Wei Zheng sent someone to find you! ”

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty...... The minister is wrong! I hope Your Majesty will forgive you! When the bull-headed horse saw that the lie was exposed by the king of Yama in person, where did he dare to deny it, so he had to fall to the ground and shout for mercy.

"Something so big happened, and you want me to spare you? Hum! The king of Yama was really angry this time, and pointed to the bull head and horse face and shouted, "Someone! Put these two people into the dungeon first, and immediately remove them from their posts and investigate them! If it is later found out that the two of you have committed other dereliction of duty and corrupted the law, I will be dealt with severely! ”

"Your Majesty forgive your sins! Your Majesty's forgiveness! ”

The bull head and the horse face shouted in vain, and several imperial guards stripped off their official clothes on the spot, took off their official hats, and dragged them down. Seeing that King Yama is so angry this time, I'm afraid that the lives of the two of them will not be guaranteed.

King Yama stared at the bull-headed horses until they were dragged down, and he sat down on the dragon chair and gasped for breath in hatred. The chamberlain hurriedly brought a cup of tea and asked him to drink it. King Yama drank it down, and then slammed the teacup to the ground.

"Bang!"

The teacups, lids, and saucers were all directly broken into countless pieces and splashed on the ground. The chamberlain hurriedly stepped forward to clean up, and the civil officials and generals were startled by this sound, and they broke out in a cold sweat, for fear that the anger of the king of Yama would burn on them next.

"How can the reincarnation team be mixed with and ink ghosts, aren't such evil ghosts directly arrested by the Yin Law Division?" King Yama then asked angrily, looking at Cui Yu, "Cui Yu, you come out and explain!" ”

Cui Yu was calm, and took a step forward to bow: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen has personally gone to the Yin Law Division to verify it after the incident last night, and the evil ghosts that have not been seized in the Yin Law Division have escaped, and they are all consistent with the registration on the ledger. It can be seen that those ghosts who made trouble on Huangquan Road did not escape from the Yin Law Division. ”

"And where did they come from?" King Yama shouted again.

“……”

No one dared to answer out loud. This kind of thing is very important, it is estimated that every official has checked the affairs he is responsible for before coming to the court, and if he does not find a problem, he does not need to speak out, and he does not dare to speak out if he finds a small problem. Anyway, the first big problem is the bull head and horse noodles, so let the two of them go to the cauldron!

Seeing that no one answered, the king of Yama became even more angry, and then lost his temper indiscriminately. But this kind of thing can't be asked just by yelling and scolding, and it has to be investigated slowly. After a while, he scolded himself and was tired, so he deflated first and collapsed back on the dragon chair.

At this time, Wei Zheng, the head of the Wenchen and the oldest judge of the Reward Division, finally stood up and told the king of Yama: "Your Majesty, where did the evil ghost come from, and how the Huangquan Road caused the riot, the old minister really doesn't know anything. But last night's riot of ghosts destroyed all the facilities in the Zen Division, and thirteen of them were killed on the spot! ”

"The most important thing is that even the scale of virtue has been ruined! If we cannot judge good and evil, we cannot reward good and punish evil. The old minister has ordered the construction of a new virtue scale, but it is expected that it will take another ten days to complete. ”

Wei Zheng is still more pragmatic. His opinion was also expressed more tactfully, in fact, he wanted to tell the king of Yama that since the cause could not be ascertained for the time being, he should first shift his focus to how to deal with the aftermath and rebuild, and that it would be useless to lose his temper and punish the officials.

Wei Zheng raised his head, and then Zhong Kui, the judge of the punishment department, also stood up. However, he was furious, and his voice was like a bell: "The ghost group not only destroyed the Reward and Reward Division, but also made a mess of the Punishment Division!" The ministers later went to count the losses and found that dozens of jailers had also died in the hell where the evil division was punished. ”

"What worries the minister the most is that the few evil ghosts who were originally trapped in the eighteenth layer of hell and tortured took advantage of the chaos to escape, and they have not found out where they have escaped? Among these evil ghosts are two ghost kings and six powerful ghosts. Although they are still suppressed by the ban of the ministers, once they break the ban and wait for the opportunity to cause chaos in the underworld again, I am afraid it will be another catastrophe! ”

"What?" At this time, even the king of Yama was anxious and asked, "Two ghost kings, six powerful ghosts?" There are so many evil spirits in hell that they can't figure out where they have run by this time! Zhong Kui: What do you eat? ”

Facing King Yama's questioning, Zhong Kui seemed to be a little unconvinced, and shouted angrily: "Your Majesty, it's not that the ministers don't go to investigate, it's really because the manpower of the Punishment Division is too bad, and there is almost no one available!" The minister also went to the Chacha Division last night to ask Judge Lu to borrow someone, but he never saw his figure! ”

"That's right! This kind of thing is also the duty of the Investigation Division to investigate, Lu Zhidao, what were you doing last night? ”

“……”

"Lu Zhidao!"

“……”

King Yama shouted twice, but still didn't hear Lu Zhidao reply. At this time, everyone found out that Lu Zhidao, the judge of the Chacha Division, did not come to participate in this court meeting at all!

"What about Lu Zhidao?" The king of Yama was angry again, and pointed to the head of the case of Chacha and asked. The head of the case is actually the second-in-command of each department, and the head of the investigation department is also Lu Zhidao's deputy.

But the head of the case also looked confused, lowered his head and replied tremblingly: "Wei Chenzi, I haven't seen Judge Lu since last night...... I don't know where Judge Lu went? ”

"What?"

King Yama was taken aback. The others couldn't help but start talking to each other, speculating where Lu Zhidao was hiding, and what did it have to do with last night's riot? Some people even speculated whether Lu Zhidao was "killed" in the riot?

I couldn't help but shake my head and smile bitterly: At this time, in this Yama Palace, it is estimated that I am the only one who knows the truth!

Lu Yu ran away with his subordinates, as the most likely mastermind behind the scenes, how could Lu Zhidao continue to stay in the underworld. His disappearance also further confirmed my previous suspicion when I heard Du Zong's deathbed account at the Ghost Gate. Moreover, Du Zong said that there were still many souls hidden in their bodies when they escaped, and it happened that a few evil ghosts who were being tortured escaped from the hell where the evil division was punished, I am afraid that this is the real purpose of Lu Zhidao and others to instigate this riot!

"Cui Yu!" The king of Yama was furious, and shouted: "You immediately send someone to Chacha Division, to Lu Zhidao's house, to all the ministries and divisions of the prefecture to find out the whereabouts of Lu Zhidao!" See where he's hiding and what he's doing. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Cui Yu agreed. But he was about to go out of the temple to give his men a look, but I suddenly stood up boldly and prepared to speak. Cui Yu didn't know what I was going to say, so she stopped and looked at me in surprise.

I took another firm step forward and bowed to King Yama: "Your Majesty, I am afraid that Lu Zhidao and the evil ghosts who escaped are no longer in the underworld at this time!" And according to Weichen's speculation, Lu Zhidao, the judge of the Investigation Division, and Lu Yu, the captain of the 9th Battalion of the Japanese Left Army, are likely to be the culprits who planned the Huangquan Road riot! ”

"What?"

As soon as I said this, the palace was in an uproar.

King Yama glared at me, pointed at me and asked, "What you are accusing of is a great crime of treason!" What is the evidence? Let's be honest! ”
