Everyone looked up and found out it was Judge Cui.
Judge Cui's name is Cui Jue. He is the first of the four great judges. He is a popular person around the King of Hell. He often thinks what the King of Hell means.
At the moment, he first stopped a few underworld soldiers who were about to attack the bull-headed horse-faced soldiers, then turned around and bowed his hands to the King of Hell and said: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for speaking frankly, the bull-headed and horse-faced brothers have always worked diligently and diligently for so many years. They worked hard without complaining, and even when they were on duty, they would leave early and come home late, rain or shine. According to the popular saying in Yangjian, "Without credit, there is also hard work, without hard work, there is also fatigue!" Although they made mistakes this time, in the eyes of Weichen The faults will not hide the merits. If all my colleagues in the underworld have always been dedicated to their work on weekdays, and if there are occasional gaps, they will be waited on with a big board. I am afraid that it will chill everyone's heart!"
Judge Cui's words were sound and well-founded. Not only did the Minotaur look at him gratefully, but even the King of Hell narrowed his eyes and nodded slightly.
Is it any wonder that it is so easy to progress from a humble judge to a top judge step by step? The secret lies in his tact and his extensive network of contacts.
Next, the King of Hell asked: "In your opinion, Xiao Cui, how should we handle this matter?"
Judge Cui said: "Your Majesty, according to my humble opinion, not only should we not severely punish the brothers with the bull head and the horse face, but on the contrary, we should reward them heavily."
"Judge Cui, what are you talking nonsense about?" Upon hearing this, the King of Hell's face changed drastically, and he became furious and slapped the gavel tree hard on the table. The other Yin Shuai Gong Cao judges pinched it deeply for Judge Cui. Sweat.
But Judge Cui remained calm and said with a calm smile: "Your Majesty, please listen to what I have to say. It is their previous work that I want you to reward me! If your Majesty follows your advice, you will not only be able to make things worse." My brother is so grateful that it can also mobilize everyone's enthusiasm for work, and it can also reflect your generosity and compassion, Your Majesty!"
Oh, it turns out that's the case, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Okay, Xiao Cui will do what you want. I'm sure!" The King of Hell waved his hand and said, "Ox-headed and horse-faced, listen to the order. I consider that although you two have made a small mistake this time, you have no merit and hard work before, and there is no hardship. I'm tired and tired, so I won't pursue today's matter anymore, and it won't be the same next time! And in consideration of your previous performance, I will give you a special reward of 10,000 yuan each!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!" The bull-headed and horse-faced man thanked him and then withdrew.
Now that the matter of the bull-headed horse-face has been resolved, the drama of interrogating the undead will begin accordingly.
I saw the King of Hell smiling and nodding to Judge Cui: "Xiao Cui, you can start!"
Immediately, Judge Cui stepped forward and shouted loudly: "Listen, souls of the dead, the king is about to give you an interview! I will first declare the discipline. Do not whisper during the first interrogation, and do not make loud noises during the second time. The king did not ask You can't say anything. When the three kings ask questions, you must answer truthfully without any deception. Otherwise, if you are found out, you will be thrown into the eighteenth level of hell. Do you listen?"
"Listen up!" the undead said tremblingly.
Who dares not to listen to Judge Cui’s words?
Just mentioning the first three hells among the eighteen levels of hell, the Tongue-pulling Hell, the Scissors Hell, and the Iron Tree Hell, is enough to make the undead feel cold.
Needless to say, the tongue pulling prison, as the name suggests, this is a prison where the jailers specialize in pulling out your tongue.
As for Scissor Prison, in this prison, the jailers will use scissors to cut off ten of your fingers and connect them to your heart. You can imagine the pain.
Let's talk about the Iron Tree Prison. This prison has sharp knives on the trees. The jailers will pick the sufferer from under the skin on the back and hang him on the iron tree.
After the three prisons, the prisons such as Niejing Prison, Steamer Prison, Bronze Pillar Prison, Daoshan Prison, Iceberg Prison, and Oil Pan Prison are also scary to hear their names.
After announcing the discipline, Judge Cui said: "Okay, who wants to come first?"
Everyone in the hall was silent. Everyone knows that the first shot is the first. Rushing to be the best does not guarantee that the winner will be the best.
"Then since no one wants to register for trial first, the king will have no choice but to call the roll!" Judge Cui smiled and took a notebook from the Eight Immortals table and handed it to the King of Hell.
The King of Hell began to read.
"Liu Jin, who is Liu Jin?"
"It's coming, it's coming!" As soon as Judge Cui finished speaking, he saw a skeleton rushing out of the undead team, screaming loudly and lying down in the hall.
Looking at this skeleton, Judge Cui felt a sense of disgust even though this situation was not uncommon in the underworld. Just because it was cut into a skeleton, it was clear that this undead was not a good person in life.
"Are you Liu Jin?"
"Yes, yes, come back to the king!" Liu Jin kowtowed as if he was pounding garlic.
"Why did you become a skeleton?" Yama asked again.
"That was the greatest injustice of all time."
When he heard this, Zhu Houzhao was very angry. I sympathize with you, but no one else is to blame for this. If you are to blame, you have to blame you for committing too many sins. You are a traitor, but you put the blame on others. The claws are on.
Zhu Houzhao wanted to step forward and argue a few words, but when he thought of the discipline just announced by Judge Cui and the horror of the eighteen levels of hell, his intention to move his steps and open his mouth stopped abruptly.
However, when the King of Hell heard Liu Jin's words, he couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for the person named Liu. However, this was not the content of the interrogation, so he brought the topic to the main topic.
"Well, can you get up and briefly describe to me the official positions and merits you held during your lifetime? Let me make a decision easily."
When Liu Jin mentioned his official position and merits, his eyes lit up.
After standing up, he raised his hands and bowed to the King of Hell. He ignored that his old club was right behind him and started talking casually.
"The King of Hell is above, Liu is not talented, but he was in charge of the Bell and Drum Division in the Ming Dynasty, and was in charge of five thousand battalions. Later, he was also appointed as the Chief of Ceremonies and the eunuch, and he was considered a provincial and ministerial cadre; as for merit, Liu Although not talented, he has made many achievements. For example, he often offers birds and animals, carries out singing, dancing, fighting and other entertainment activities to help the leaders relieve their worries. He also arranges for the leaders to visit and inspect and sympathize with the people. Liu Jin dare not expect this official position and merit. Become an immortal, but at least reincarnation as a human should be no problem, right?"
"Well, I will allow you to be reincarnated as a human being!" The King of Hell said, stroking his black beard.
"Hey, Your Majesty, no, you must not!" Suddenly, an urgent voice sounded beside him.
The King of Hell looked sideways and saw Judge Cui again.
Why is this kid always causing trouble? The king of hell was a little unhappy.
Then he frowned and said with a dark face: "Xiao Cui, tell me quickly, what's wrong with me?"
Judge Cui did not answer, but leaned over and whispered in the ear of the King of Hell for a while.
The more the King of Hell listened, the more ugly his face became.
Immediately, he slapped the tree on the table of the Eight Immortals: "You Liu Jin, how dare you deceive me. It turns out that your so-called carrying out cultural and entertainment activities to help the leaders relieve their worries is just to let the leaders fight with the lackeys and ignore the government; and you The so-called arranging for leaders to visit and inspect and sympathize with the people's sentiments turns out to be to let the leaders indulge in fun, waste people and money! As for your corruption and bribery, and frame up Zhongliang, it is even more difficult to describe. How can you be a person of merit? You are clearly a traitor who has brought disaster to the country and the people. Evil guy! Where are you on the left and right?"
The King of Hell slapped the tree on the table of the Eight Immortals again, and several sly soldiers came out in response.
"Come on! Send this guy to the eighteenth level of hell for me!"
Several Yin soldiers swarmed up and dragged Liu Jin down.
"Your Majesty, please spare my life! Your Majesty, please spare my life! Didn't you promise to reincarnate me as a human?" Liu Jin shouted hoarsely.
The King of Hell snorted: "I will definitely honor what I promised, but instead of reincarnating you as a human being, I will reincarnate you as an animal. If you go through the eighteenth level of hell and you are still alive!"
After sending Liu Jin to where he should go, the King of Hell was ready to call his name again.
But before he could call his name, Wang Yangming, who had just been ranked behind Liu Jin, had already taken the initiative to stand up.
The King of Hell stroked his black beard and said with a smile: "If I guess correctly, you are Wang Yangming, the national grass personal expert of Mr. Wang Shouren, one of the four great sages of China, Kong, Meng, Zhu and Wang, right?"
"Ah?!" Wang Yangming was a little dumbfounded. She would never have thought that Pluto, the king of the underworld who is in charge of the life and death of all living beings in hell, would know about her.
"Your Majesty, do you know my daughter?" Wang Yangming looked at her in surprise, her mouth wide open. She felt for a moment that the vicious King Yama in the legend was not that scary.
"Yes, yes." The King of Hell nodded: "Mr. Shouren's life as an official was to use soldiers like a god, to quell rebellions and thieves, and to benefit the country; as a scholar, he was to establish academies and preach the knowledge of the heart, which will last forever. And you, as the national minister, He is close to the master and always follows him around. He has saved him from danger several times, which is also a great contribution and has made him famous in the underworld."
"Ah." After hearing what the King of Hell said, Wang Yangming's mind was a little overwhelmed. There is a saying: "People are doing it, and God is watching." Unexpectedly, the earth is also watching! I followed my husband and didn't do much, but I didn't expect that the King of Hell would give him such a high evaluation, and I couldn't help but feel moved in my heart.
Wang Yangming was stunned for a moment before the King of Hell called Judge Cui, "Xiao Cui, do you still have the target for becoming an immortal this year?"
