?As the Hungry Ghost Festival approached, the Underworld fell into a terrible low pressure.

In the main hall, judges at all levels, city gods of 36 counties, and countless ghost messengers stood in a dense crowd. At this moment, they all lowered their heads, for fear that their names would be called by Hades.

"City God of Kuaiji County, nine incidents of evil spirits wounding people occurred within one year in your jurisdiction. You will be sentenced to the crime of ineffective supervision, demoted to one level, and fined for three years. Do you have any objections?" Ah Cha sat on the throne, Holding a thick file in his hand, he said unhurriedly.

"The old minister has no objection, and the old minister accepts the crime." The town god of Kuaiji County with a big beard never thought that he would lose his insurance at the end of the festival, and he retired in a few years.But he didn't dare to complain, and the fine was still relatively light. Several city gods had been dismissed just now.The ghost messengers were even worse. One guy was dispatched to Tiewei Mountain because he took a bribe from a ghost.

Pluto was displeased, and Hades suffered.

It wasn't until the next court that Judge Niu breathed a sigh of relief and thought, "I'm scared to death." When he left the hall, he deliberately lagged behind, and moved to the side of Pluto's maid Ma Sanjie, "Hey, Big Yangma, the master recently What's the matter? Are you too angry?"

"How do I know?" Ma Sanjie rolled her eyes, she never liked to talk to this glib judge.

Judge Niu didn't care about Third Sister Ma's attitude, he still had a playful smile on his face, "Hey, let me give you an idea, you go and find Zhao Li."

"Officer Zhao? But this month he is on duty in the world." Third Sister Ma was a little embarrassed.

Judgment Niu curled his lips, "Anyway, that's all I'm going to say. Think about it yourself. If the master is happy, everyone will be better off. If the master is not happy, everyone will be unlucky."

So the Zhao official who shouldered the heavy responsibility came back, and the underworld regained its calm, and everyone spent a prosperous Hungry Ghost Festival.That night, the gate of ghosts opened wide, and the ghosts in the nether world came to the world to enjoy the joy of the festival.The ghost market is decorated with lights and festoons, and it is very lively.

However, the palace of the underworld is deserted at this moment, Zhao Li sits with Ah Cha on the steps outside the palace, looking at the lights of thousands of families in the world through the weak water.

Ah Cha leaned her head on Zhao Li's shoulder, "Zhao Li, I also want to play in the world."

"But today is the Hungry Ghost Festival. If my master, Ah Cha, is not in the underworld, it will be easy for the evil spirits to take advantage of the loopholes, and the consequences will be disastrous." Zhao Li said.

"Hmph. Even you said that." Ah Cha pouted angrily.

Zhao Li smiled, and gently stopped the girl's shoulder, "Who told you to be the King of Pluto? If you are in this position, you have to seek his own government, otherwise how can you convince the public?"

"It's not that I want to be the king of the underworld, I don't like being the king of the underworld!" Ah Cha distinguished.

"Okay, okay, don't be angry." Zhao Li persuaded, he thought for a while and said: "What's so interesting about the Ghost Festival, let's go to the Mid-Autumn Festival some other day!"

On a dark and stormy night, two figures sneaked out from the back door of the Hades Palace.

The Ruoshui River stretches as far as the eye can see, and the waves beat against the river bank, splashing clouds of water mist.There are two oil lamps hanging outside the post pavilion next to the pier, and the ghost soldiers guarding the boat are eating wine inside.Hearing the noise outside, a pawn opened the door and poked his head out, "Who is where?"

"Xiao Zhou, it's me." Zhao Li stepped out of the shadows and greeted the ghost soldiers in front of him. He has traveled between the Yin and Yang worlds all year round, and he is very familiar with the low-level ghost soldiers at the dock.

"Hey, it's Brother Li," the ghost soldier named Xiao Zhou was very happy to see the person coming, "It's a coincidence that you came here. The few of us are drinking. The best girl is red, how about two cups?"

"No, next time." Zhao Li said, "Xiao Zhou, I would like to trouble you, I want to take this girl to the world, can you accommodate me?"

"This?" Xiao Zhou looked at the girl behind Zhao Li with some embarrassment, "It's against the law to cross the river without permission, and it's so late, the servants who punted the boat have all left."

Official Zhao moved closer, took out a stack of paper money and stuffed it into Xiao Zhou's hand, "Add some good food for the brothers." Then he whispered a few words to him.

"Ah oh," Xiao Zhou looked at the girl in red again, with a look of understanding, "Cheng Chengcheng, don't delay Brother Li's good work, I will untie the boat for you."?
