Chapter 385: Lord Yama's First Soldier and Second Salute
"Is this the ...," Jiahui stopped talking, as if he already had a rough guess in his heart.
"Welcome, my friends, my subordinates, and my prisoners, hello." Another man miraculously emerged from inside the bar.
He was two heads taller than the waiter next to him, with a sturdy build, wearing a wide black T-shirt with a word written on it, as if it were the word "Hell", and the smile on his face was both kind and majestic.
As soon as he appeared, Chen Lin and Jiahui immediately knelt down.
"Please forgive Lord Yama!"
What the? This person is actually Lord Yama, but the last time I saw him, he obviously didn't look like this, I was stupidly stunned, I didn't know what to say, Chen Lin secretly pulled the corner of my clothes, and I had to kneel.
"Hehe, you don't have to be so nervous, I won't blame you today, Chen Lin, I'm afraid that you will be in prison for three years, and it's not specifically for you, I don't have any personal enmity with you, the reason why I'm locked up in prison is just to let you understand that there are laws and regulations between heaven and earth, you should understand this, right?"
After a slight pause, Lord Yama continued: "Jiahui, you are the guard guarding the gate of the prison, you should have enforced the law impartially, how can you still eat at the same table with her when you see a prisoner fleeing without permission?" Isn't it too unruly? β
"I understand, I shouldn't have escaped without permission, Lord Yama, punish me however you want, as long as you don't embarrass Fang Ming." Chen Lin said.
"Lord Yama, it's me who is wrong, I just think it's a pity that their lovers were broken up alive, so I want them to be able to meet each other to relieve the pain of lovesickness, if you want to blame, blame me, don't blame them, I voluntarily connived at them." Jiahui said.
"Don't say that, I've already said it, and I won't blame you today." Lord Yama smiled and said, "And you are indeed the 10,000th table guest of my bubble tea shop, I should invite you to dinner, get up, I have already set up the banquet for you." β
Chen Lin and Jiahui and I glanced at each other, and I couldn't see through how Lord Yama suddenly became so generous, but since he was willing to take the initiative to invite us to dinner, we couldn't eat it, so we followed behind Lord Yama and went to the table with him.
The so-called banquet is not particularly pompous, but the waiter just put together a few tables, all on the table are vegetarian dishes, fried vermicelli with mushrooms, steamed cabbage, capers or something, but the taste is particularly fragrant, making people feel hungry when they smell it, although we have all eaten just now.
"If you're hungry, eat some." He said.
I originally just wanted to add a few bites, but I didn't expect that as soon as the dish was put in my mouth, the taste buds seemed to awaken, and I desperately secreted saliva outward. Bowls and bowls of food fell into our stomachs, and when the last dish was also emptied, I still felt unsatisfied.
"Fang Ming... I didn't eat a single bite... How are you reincarnated like a starving ghost. Chen Lin looked at me with some disgust and said.
"It's okay, today's dish was originally what I invited you to eat." Lord Yama said.
"I'm sorry, Lord Yama, my boyfriend is like this, he is more greedy." Chen Lin said with a smile.
At this moment, I felt like a greedy child, who made a foreign appearance at the banquet, and Chen Lin helped me out like my mother, so I scratched my head embarrassedly.
"Okay, now that the meal has been eaten, then let's get down to business, one thing is one thing, you are my 10,000th table guest, so I invite you to dinner, but one of the three of you sneaked out of the prison and returned to the yang world to make trouble, one as a guard guarding the prison, did not fulfill his duties loyally, turned a blind eye to the prisoner who sneaked out, and the other fornicated with a female ghost as a living person, and did not know how to take care of his body, can the three of you be guilty?!" Lord Yama's face changed, and he said sharply.
The waiter behind him restored the table to its original appearance, and then stood firmly behind Lord Yama, his eyes lowered.
"Weβ" I was speechless for a moment.
This Lord Yama is really uncertain, he invited us to dinner so diligently just now, and told us that he wouldn't blame us today, why did he change his appearance in a blink of an eye?
"I'm willing to take it." Jiahui had no choice but to say.
"I'm willing," Chen Lin said.
"I... I would too. I said, I don't think I've committed any sin at all, but since they both said so, if I didn't, it wouldn't be enough for a man.
"Today, I want to judge you one by one, first of all, you, Jiahui, did not do your duty, what should you be guilty of, do you understand?" Lord Yama asked.
"You should first hit 80 big boards, and then put them in the third layer of hell and accept the punishment of going to the oil pot for a hundred years." Jiahui replied honestly.
How long is 100 years? A good person, you can't fry it into fritters?! Besides, if he goes to hell, what should his wife and children do? I couldn't help but sweat for Jiahui.
"Well, you're right, for your sake, I can give you a three-year reduction, even if you're ninety-seven years." Lord Yama said, "Now you sit aside, listen quietly, and don't make any noise." β
"Thank you Lord Yama for your understanding!" Jiahui said.
The length of a hundred years is only reduced by three years, so what is the difference between that and no reduction? I thought to myself, to be honest, I'm very unconvinced, but he is the Lord of Yama, and I am just a fart in the yang world, what can I do with him?
"Isn't it time to talk about you, Chen Lin? In fact, among so many ghosts imprisoned in the prison, I have a good impression of you, and I want to reduce your sentence after a while, but I didn't expect you to do such a thing! What a disappointment for me! β
"Lord Yama, I'm really just confused for a while, if you want to punish me, I can only punish me, no matter how heavy the punishment is, I will accept it willingly." Chen Lin said.
"Jiahui, can you tell me how such a crime should be punished?" Lord Yama asked.
"Should... You should make 30 slabs, add another five years, and engage in construction work to alleviate your sins. Jiahui said, "But please Lord Yama Mingjian, Chen Lin secretly came to the Yang Realm, just to see her fiancΓ©, and did not cause much trouble, I hope that the King of Yama can also reduce some punishment." β
"If you tell me to reduce it, I will reduce it, wouldn't I be very faceless, not only will I not reduce the punishment, but I will also be heavily added, Chen Lin, give me an extra 50 years in prison, plus eighty boards!" Lord Yama said.
"And you, Fang Ming, tell me yourself, what kind of punishment do you want to accept?!"
