Chapter 63: The Hall of the Judges
The netherworld is dark all year round, ghostly, and the breath is depressed and low.
A dark red sun hung high in the sky, obscured by clouds, and a blood-colored halo sprinkled down, making it even darker.
Just below the dark red sun, the outlines of the ten halls loomed in the void, looming in the churning sea of clouds.
These ten halls are the ten halls of Qin Guang, Chu Jiang, Emperor Song, Wuguan, Yama, Bian Cheng, Mount Tai, City, Equality, and Wheel, also known as the Ten Halls of Yama.
And below the ten halls of Yama, all kinds of palaces stand tall and high, and the halls such as the Judge's Palace, the Impermanence Palace, and the Youfang Hall are among them, and the ten halls are clustered.
There is no ghost in the whole palace group, but in this gloomy underworld, there is a magnificent atmosphere, carved railings and jade masonry, clouds and mist, colorful clouds and clouds, and heavy curtains.
A team of elite soldiers patrolled with halberds, and on the wide square made of green jade, from time to time there were figures dressed in official uniforms of various ranks hurriedly passing by, and many of them were holding documents and jade slips in their hands, all of which were large and small officials of the counselor's Yin Division.
The judge's main hall, the eaves fly strange beasts, tile mandarin ducks, and the sill is set up with white jade, and the curtain is bright. The tower towers into the sky, the corridor waist is flat and even the treasure hall, the beast tripod incense cloud hits the jade clothes, and the silk yarn lights the Ming Palace fan. In the hall, the ghost is sent to the gold medal, and the soul is summoned.
On the main seat in the hall, the Yin Division Supervisor and the Chief Judge of the Judge Palace, Cui Jue, were dressed in a purple official robe, with a jade belt around their waists, and official boots on their feet, sitting upright behind a green jade case, and the judges of each rank with solemn expressions on the jade steps of His Royal Highness stood quietly.
Judge Cui didn't look at the judges of all levels of His Royal Highness, holding a long pipe wolf, a pen walking dragon and snake, hanging his wrist and writing straight, his handwriting was strong, and his strength was through the back of the paper.
Along the long sleeves of the cyan official uniform, a handsome and elegant face appeared, with eyes as gentle as jade, a high nose bridge, lips pursed, a quiet expression, and a calm and indifferent temperament.
After signing a lot of official duties, Cui Judge officially raised his hand and looked at the judges of all levels in the judge's hall, his eyes turned cold.
[The edict of the Son of Heaven of Yama, the inspection of the imperial history of the Division, the judge of the six-grade judge of the palace Du Chong, who has been in an important position for a hundred years, does not match his virtues, has insufficient talents, has accumulated cases, has countless unjust cases, and has ill intentions, fornicating with foreign enemies, and his crimes should be punished......! They are all the same party, and they will be imprisoned together and handed over to various departments for strict interrogation......]
Cui Jue was holding a black dragon pattern scroll, and his voice was like a jade resonance, which was clear and audible.
But the judges who listened to the chief Judge Cui read out, especially the judges on the list, all had pale faces, lifeless faces, and their bodies were trembling, and they didn't know what to do.
And the first to bear the brunt of the verdict in this sentence, the inspector of the imperial history, the six-grade judge of the judge's hall, Du Chong, stood in front of the judges, wearing the clothes of the six-grade judge, holding the judge's book, the same face was gray, his body trembled slightly, trying his best to maintain his composure.
When Judge Cui finished reading out, the heavy footsteps outside the hall sounded, but when the armor priest was about to come to get someone, Du Chong couldn't hold back any longer, and took a step forward and shouted: "Cui Jue, what do you mean? I, Du Chong, am loyal to Yin Si and the Son of Yama, and I can learn from it every day, it must be you, the villain, who is the obstruction, I want to meet with all the palace envoys and confess my grievances!"
"Hmph! Loyalty, you are indeed loyal, but it is the Underworld who is loyal!" Cui Jue smiled coldly, holding a black seal in his hand at some point, looking at Du Chong, who was approaching, "When you get to the Senluo Palace, go and appeal to your grievances!"
"Cui Jue !!"
Du Chong shouted, and a force suddenly erupted from his whole body, rushing through the suppression of the system in the hall, and his five fingers were stretched out, and he grabbed Cui Fujun fiercely.
"The trapped beast is still fighting!"
Cui Jue smiled contemptuously, and the big seal in his palm suddenly released a ray of light, and Du Cheng, who pounced viciously, was immediately bombarded back, and was immediately arrested by the armor soldiers who entered the hall, as well as the party members involved in the case, were dragged out in the miserable pleading and the howl of ghosts and wolves.
"Cui Jue villain, I won't let you go if I am a ghost!!"
"Hmph, be a ghost, it's a pity! You can't even be a ghost!" Cui Jue sat on the main seat, watching Du Chong being dragged out, and couldn't help but say coldly.
Listening to Du Chong's screams getting farther and farther away, all the judges had a feeling of sadness for the dead fox.
As judges, they naturally know what will happen once they are charged with fornicating with foreign enemies!
Today, these judges involved in the case will suffer the same fate, nay, even more miserable fate as those who have been sentenced by them!
Fang Cai is still working with the palace, and he is a prisoner under the stairs in the evening, the world is impermanent, and the underworld is even more impermanent. But within the system, you can only follow and resist? How can you resist under the entire strict system?
If nothing else, it will be difficult for these judges to come back alive, and they will have to suffer all kinds of torture, it is better to die!
Among them, there were many people with strong personalities, who struggled to break free from the shackles of the armor and slammed into the pillars in the hall, wanting to ask for death, but they were stopped in time and escorted down.
"Hmph, I want to die, it's not that easy!" Cui Jue looked at these former colleagues who were dragged out, and then looked at the rest of the judges of His Royal Highness, they were all trembling and trembling, and they didn't dare to come out, and the atmosphere in the hall was like frost.
Looking at this scene, Cui Jue was secretly satisfied, and what he wanted was this effect.
Du Chong is indeed an adulterous underworld, but the rest of the people involved in the case are up for discussion! But the party is the same and different, and it has been the same since ancient times, even the underworld Yin Division is no exception.
Cui Jue's loyalty to Yin Si is undoubted, but he is also selfish.
Since they are all working for the Son of Yama, isn't it more convenient to work with colleagues close to them?
This judge hall only needs one chief judge, and only one voice, and this Du Chong has repeatedly committed crimes, and he is even more involved in forming a party for personal gain, which really deserves to be killed!
There are still a few big rats, hmph, wait for a chance, and they will be imprisoned one by one, so that you can know what the way of heaven is, and the legal net will be restored!
Seeing that the effect of Liwei had been achieved, Cui Fujun smiled gently, put the black dragon scroll and seal in his hand on the desk, waved his hand slightly, and spoke softly to appease the judges.
At this moment, an official letter was sent to the judge's hall, and after the chief judge Cui Fujun signed and received it, he opened it, his eyes swept over the content on it, his brows furrowed, and then he immediately let go.
"Such trivial things have to be reported, and these subordinate divisions are really getting better and worse at doing things!"
"Yang Heng!" Cui Fujun shouted softly.
"My subordinates are here!" a young judge hurriedly stepped out, held his breath, and stood respectfully on the jade steps, waiting for the chief judge's orders.
"The affairs on this official letter will be left to you to deal with! Don't let this judgment down!"
Cui Fujun looked at the young judge's handsome and beautiful face like jade, and smiled gently.
"Yes, sir!"
Yang Heng was respectful on his face, took the official letter handed over by the judgment standing beside the chief judge, retreated, and slowly withdrew from the hall before carefully examining the contents of the official letter.
"Well, why is this the case? Isn't this under the jurisdiction of the Temple of Impermanence?"
Yang Heng looked at the brief official letter and couldn't help but be surprised.
