Chapter 20 Wang Jian Wang (Thanks to the Lord of the Seven Sins Holy Punishment
As soon as Heibai Wuchang left, Xie Yunshu saw a black-clothed underworld official wearing a blade walking down the steps of the palace in front of him. The man looked old-fashioned and serious. When he smiled and reached out to Xie Yunshu to invite him, he almost politely made Xie Yunshu think he was still in the world: "Please ask for it in the world of Xie Yishi."
"Please."
He didn't hit the smiley person. Xie Yunshu couldn't figure out the situation for a while, so he followed the man into the hall first.
At first glance, the entire underworld hall is not as magnificent as the world of the world, and even many of the furnishings have a gloomy and harsh taste. But from the layout of the department where the King of Hell handles official affairs, the overall decoration is no different from the world. No wonder this underworld government office is also called the small officialdom in the underworld.
One of them sat upright in the high position, with thick eyebrows and a strong face, facing Zhuang Zheng, but he was not like other officials, deliberately showing Xie Yunshu, but his expression was as usual: "Sit."
"Please do this."
The black-clothed underworld official led Xie Yunshu to the left and arranged a pair of long tables and benches in advance. Soon after, he saw a few outfits of ghosts, serving some fruits, wine and vegetables neatly. If the environment in the underworld was not good, it would be really unwilling to let go of enjoyment, and almost made Xie Yunshu think he was attending a banquet.
The King of Hell did not make some high-sounding clichés, and directly picked up the wine general in the glass and drank it all, saying, "It is a great pleasure to die the old demon in Black Mountain, and it will be full. Xie Yishi's righteous act will reduce my underworld a great problem."
"He came to the door by himself, and I could only reluctantly accompany him."
Xie Yunshu nodded, raised his glass to smell it, and asked first: "I wonder what this wine is?"
"When Emperor Tian appointed me as the King of Hell to govern the area, he once gave me jade liquid and nectar. Drinking it can prolong life and help you practice a lot."
The King of Hell said calmly: "This old demon in Black Mountain has caused great harm. He has been wandering at the junction of yin and yang, and ordinary people can't do anything. Unfortunately, I am busy with affairs and cannot leave the underworld to capture it. This time, the righteous man is just a righteous man, so he has to give back."
"For us practitioners, time is the guarantee of becoming an immortal. This gift is worthy of being a gift."
After answering the words of the King of Hell, Xie Yunshu suddenly covered his face with his sleeve and drank the glass of wine in front of the King of Hell, as if he was aftertaste: "Good wine."
"It is a fairy gift from God."
Seeing that Xie Yunshu was not leaking, the King of Hell seemed quite satisfied and said, "In addition, I have ordered people to punish Xue's parade envoy, and ordered him and the King of Xue to not interfere in the affairs of the world anymore and to abide by their duties."
"Xue Xunyou used his power for personal gain. Is this punishment lighter?"
"Um?"
He raised his eyebrows inadvertently, and the King of Hell stared at Xie Yunshu with a strange look, and suddenly smiled and said, "I know that the ranger and other places like to fight for that anger the most. But the underworld has its own rules and regulations. How can the law of prosecution be changed based on one person's likes and dislikes?"
"If it were just because of Xin Shisi Niang, Xue's parade would not need severe punishment. But he wanted to connect with King Golden Dragon and the Old Monster of Black Mountain, would the King of Hell also tolerate it?"
"If there is such a thing... it should be severely punished."
The King of Hell seemed to have just learned about the situation and corrected his expression, saying, "The king will investigate this matter, so the righteous man can rest assured. If it is true, not only Xue Xuyouyou, but also all the underworld officials who have been in contact with the old demon of the Black Mountain will be completely rectified."
"I hope so."
"Safe. After today, I will give you a bright world and you will have no more troubles."
Seeing Xie Yunshu's expression seemed dazed, the King of Hell said with some intention: "Do you want another cup?"
"Can you still prolong your life?"
"Of course not."
Xie Yunshu suddenly shook his head and hit the key point in the heart of the King of Hell: "Where is the reason to drink poisonous wine twice, do you think so?"
"Um?!"
The almost rude provocation made the King of Hell suddenly thrill. The King of Hell looked very unhappy and said strangely: "I am kind, what do you mean?"
"I'm just a little puzzled. How would the King of Hell give me a bright world and no more trouble?"
"Hmph, because you just blamed you for your faultless accusations, I have reason to punish you."
Although he barely turned against each other immediately, the King of Hell knew very well that Xie Yunshu was no longer easy to fool, so he had to say hypocritically: "However, how could I offend the backwards who are one of the Eight Immortals Lu Dongbin are optimistic about? Those guilty ministers should have been punished, and I will definitely convince you."
"really?"
Xie Yunshu did not comment, nor did he believe it or not, but suddenly mentioned a person: "Just just outside the door, I saw two ghosts pressing a ghost to reincarnate."
"Ha, when will Xie Yishi begin to care about rebirth in the underworld?"
"I paid special attention to that person's name, name is Xi Fangping."
“?!”
The King of Hell waved his iron face and pretended to be serious: "That man sued the City God, and the county officials accepted bribes, and his behavior was unruly. Isn't this enough for him to be filial and sacrificing his father to return the sun?"
"I just mentioned a name, why should the King of Hell be nervous?"
The reason why Xie Yunshu was alert to the King of Hell in advance was that Xi Fangping's name was somewhat famous.
In the Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio, it is said that after the death of this man's father Xi Lian, he was framed by a wealthy businessman named Yang from the same village. His soul was beaten every night, and he was in pain and asked his son Xi Fangping to complain to him.
Xi Fangping couldn't bear the grievances of his father, so he went to the City God to file a complaint, but the City God had been bribed by the wealthy businessman; after that, he had to go to the higher-level county department to file a complaint, but Xi Fangping not only failed to file a complaint, but was also sent back to the local City God to suffer torture.
Then he had no choice but to continue to go to his superiors and simply sued the King of Hell. The City God, the county officials were afraid and wanted to settle the secret with a thousand taels of silver in the world. Xi Fangping refused to agree and insisted on complaining to the King of Hell.
But how can a mere commoner compare to the closeness of the City God and the County Department?
The King of Hell took the two of them in advance and dismembered Xi Fangping and tortured him a few times, forcing him to admit defeat and withdraw his lawsuit.
Not only that, the king of Hell was deeply in the city. He knew that Xi Fangping was unwilling to accept it and would complain to a higher place. So he deliberately showed goodwill and ordered someone to bring back Xi Fangping, expressing his willingness to revenge him for revenge. He also gave Xi Fangping's father a thirty-six years to reward Xi Fangping for his filial piety.
The King of Hell easily resolved the official crisis with his carrot and stick. Xi Fangping actually didn't know whether the King of Hell would punish the City God and the County Secretary in the end.
If it weren't for the original work, Xi Fangping was finally killed by two little ghosts and was forced to reincarnate into the body of a baby who had only lived for three days. After his death, his resentful soul floated to Guanjiangkou to complain to Erlang Shen... Maybe the King of Hell would have really rested on his mind!
However, even though it has not yet reached this point, Xie Yunshu noticed that the person who was taken away in front of the door was Xi Fangping, and he already understood a key that he might have overlooked from beginning to end.
"I was particularly puzzled before. What capital does Xue Xunyou rely on to connect the old demon of the Black Mountain and the Golden Dragon King?"
"Who can make the old demon of Black Mountain believe that King Golden Dragon will like him?"
"In addition, Black and White Impermanence leads me here, but I don't even know that the bird beak and the old demon in Black Mountain are colluding with?"
The King of Hell suddenly laughed and didn't think that Xie Yunshu could still find the sky when he came here.
"I don't have to kill you, so why do you seek death?"
