Prince Qin Guang cleared his throat and began the formal trial.

"Now that the Ten Kings of Hell are here, Xu Zhoujiao, do you have any rebuttal to Judge Lu Daozhi's accusation that you broke into the underworld and injured the ghost soldiers?"

Xu Zhoujiao placed her hands flat on her chest and bowed to the Ten Kings of Hell.

"Ten Hell Kings, I, Xuzhou Jiao, did not mean to force my way in. I had no choice but to do so in order to save someone. We strictly follow the rules of the underworld and have a pass with us. As for the Hall of Bewitching Souls, although I am a ghost, Yinshan Ferry and ordinary people are real living souls. I really cannot drink the bewitching soup."

Xuzhou Jiao finally understood Shi Jun's real intention of insisting on coming down from Yinshan Ferry together. He came down just to take the blame.

Because he is the emperor of the world and cannot die in the underworld, he must not drink the love potion, so it is most appropriate to use it as a shield.

King Qin Guang looked at the other nine colleagues.

Yes, Yinshandu is an emperor. If he really drinks the magic potion, he will never be able to return to the world of the living. For them, this is the biggest work crisis, and it cannot be solved by dealing with a few minions.

King Qin Guang received unanimous nods from the other nine, and they all agreed to cover up the matter for Xu Zhoujiao.

King Qin Guang took the initiative to make amends for Xu Zhoujiao: "Where is the pass?"

Pu Gong quickly found the pass and handed it to Wei Zheng, who handed it to Cui Yu. After Cui Yu checked all the information to ensure it was correct, he replied to King Qin Guang: "Your Majesty, this pass has indeed been registered at Ghost Gate."

After saying this, he handed it to King Qin Guang with both hands. After King Qin Guang briefly looked through it, he passed it to the King of Five Senses beside him, and everyone looked through it in turn.

"Since we have the pass in the book, it doesn't count as forcing our way in. As for injuring the ghost soldiers, it was also a helpless move. After all, the emperor of the human world came to visit our underworld, and we were already negligent for not sending subordinates to greet him, and we also caused such a big commotion. Cui Yu, you go to the Hall of Enchantment and whip the little ghost guarding the well a hundred times as an apology to the emperor."

Yinshandu heard this and knew that King Qin Guang was trying to save their situation for Jiaojiao, so he quickly expressed his opinion: "Please forgive the well-guarding kid. It is rare that he is so dedicated to his duties. Today, we were the first to be rude, how can we blame others? Please withdraw your decree!"

Prince Qin Guang stroked his beard and nodded, and instructed Cui Yu: "Cui Yu, you too, the emperor is a distinguished guest, how can you stand? Hurry up and bring a chair over."

Cui Yu nodded in agreement and placed the chair for Yinshan Duxun under the Urban King. Yinshan Du bowed to the Urban King and then bent down to sit down.

The City King nodded repeatedly, his eyes revealing appreciation: Not bad, neither humble nor arrogant, knowing when to relax and work hard, and knowing when to advance and retreat. You are a talented person with great potential!

He admired this kind of emperor the most, but it was a pity that he was burdened by external forces in the first half of his life.

King Qin Guang looked at Yinshandu who had already taken his seat, and said to Cui Yu: "Since the emperor has asked for mercy, I really can't refuse the honor of the distinguished guest. Cui Yu, I will change the 100 lashes to verbal education."

"I will obey the order of the law."

"Even so, breaking into the underworld and injuring the ghost soldiers is not a crime. Does Judge Lu have any other requests?"

The King of Hell sitting in front of the desk almost twitched in the eyes, but Lu Daozhi didn't even look at him.

"Your Majesty, after her death, Xuzhou Jiao hid in the underworld to avoid the Black and White Impermanence, and she and Lei Gong and Dian Mu oppressed the people, and some people even died because of her. Afterwards, she even deceived the immortals to protect her. This is a fact, please investigate it strictly."

King Qin Guang glared at King Yama in front of the case, the implication was obvious: Why didn't you stop him!

As a result, King Yama looked at the sky and the earth but didn't look at him. How could he know why a usually smart person was so stubborn today!

King Qin Guang looked at the other Yama Kings again. They were either touching their clothes or pulling their sleeves, and none of them looked at him.

King Qin Guang had no choice but to write a letter himself to report to the gods and tell them the truth about what happened in the palace.

Soon the reply came back from the gods' realm, and all the gods involved replied with two words: Bullshit!

The wonderful thing about this reply is that it is all in voice. One sentence after another of farts were heard in the First Hall, making Lu Daozhi's face turn sour and his teeth chattering.

Pingfan covered his mouth tightly, and his body shook with laughter. Wei Zheng had no choice but to hide his junior brother behind him.

Prince Qin Guang's face turned pale. Wasn't this just asking for trouble?

"President Lu, you have also seen that all the gods and immortals involved in the case have denied the case. Do you have any other witnesses or evidence?"

Lu Daozhi's beard stood up with anger: "My lord, there is a ghost who can prove what I said is true. This ghost is the victim of the incident that year, Wu Daniu!"

"This ghost often quarreled with others over stealing property in the mortal world, and is now serving his sentence in the Seventh Palace!"

King Qin Guang looked at King Taishan and said, "Seventh brother, please issue a decree to release the ghost first."

King Taishan nodded, and a golden light shone from his index finger as he wrote a decree in the air. He then stamped it with his own seal, and the decree turned into a golden light and flew out of the hall straight into the inner prison of the Seventh Hall.

In a moment, the imperial edict came back, bringing with it a hunched little ghost with shackles on his hands and feet who appeared in front of everyone.

Xu Zhoujiao was stunned. Are there so many shackles to prevent him from running away?

King Qin Guang released his pressure: "The one coming is Wu Daniu!"

"To reply to your Majesty, the little devil is Wu Daniu!"

"Do you know who Xu Zhoujiao is?"

"I recognize Xuzhou Jiao, the poisonous concubine who murdered the queen and was sentenced to death. I was struck to death by a sudden lightning when I passed by her grave!"

Prince Qin Guang glanced at Xu Zhoujiao who was standing upright. There was no shame on her face, as if Wu Daniu was not talking about her.

Is there something else going on here?

Yinshan Du stood up and walked into the hall and told all the truth.

"Your Majesty, please allow me to report that the truth about Xuzhou Jiao's murder of Hu Changqing was revealed to the world a few days ago. Du Huan personally issued an edict of guilt, and one of the criminals has been brought to justice."

"Oh, the emperor means that there is something hidden?"

"Yes, Hu Changqing was already terminally ill and didn't have much time left. She had been jealous of Xuzhou Jiao for a long time, so she set a trap to frame Xuzhou Jiao. Now she has been stripped of her title of queen and will be punished soon. Mei Yan and Wu Lan, the two maids around her, were accomplices!"

Wu Daniu, who was originally hunched over in the hall and was timid, suddenly roared: "You are talking nonsense. Xiaolan has been dead for a long time. How can she frame Xuzhou Jiao? You are just trying to exonerate her!"

The ten kings of hell were all surprised at Wu Daniu's rage. They all sat up straight and opened their eyes.

Yinshandu didn't care about his impotent rage at all, and asked him directly: "Have you ever seen Wu Lan's body?"

Wu Daniu's eyes were red with anger: "Xiao Lan was suddenly infected with a serious illness, and Queen Hu didn't let us see Xiao Lan's body in order to hide the source of the disease! But everyone in our village knows that Xiao Lan was buried in a grand ceremony!"

Yinshandu ignored him and turned to ask King Qin Guang: "Then may I ask if Your Majesty has any record of Wu Lan entering the underworld?"

Prince Qin Guang looked at Cui Yu. Cui Yu entered Wu Lan's name and found out that Wu Lan did not die six years ago, but three years ago.

"Replying to Your Majesty, Wu Lan died three years ago. The cause of death is unknown."

Xu Zhoujiao said, "May I ask, Judge, when was it three years ago?"

"He died on September 16th!"

Yinshan Du and Xuzhou Jiao looked at each other quickly. She died at the end of July and recuperated in the life lamp for a month after her death. Wasn't September 16 the time when the people would slander her?

Xu Zhoujiao twisted Wu Daniu's head and looked at him directly: "Have you ever been to the imperial concubine's tomb and splashed black dog blood?"

Wu Daniu replied evasively: "No!"

The ten kings of hell were suddenly shocked and all looked at Cui Yu. Cui Yu quickly looked through Wu Daniu's confession letter and shook his head at all the kings of hell.

The ten kings of hell looked at each other, their hearts pounding. They thought that Wu Daniu might not have told the truth when he entered the underworld. Was it because of the love potion or did he have some special way to avoid it, or maybe the love potion didn't work on him!

All of the Ten Kings of Hell were feeling uneasy. If the magic potion lost its effect, there would be a huge chaos in the underworld, and they couldn't afford it!

Poor Lu Daozhi never imagined that there could be a ghost that could talk nonsense after drinking the love potion. If he didn't confess the truth, he would not be able to escape the beating.
