The person who knows Fu Tong'er best is her bedmate, Mr. Lu Jiu.

After saying that, he said to everyone with a stern face: "Get up, everyone. The weather is getting hotter, and I'm sorry for keeping you waiting. Today, I'm treating you to a meal, but it's like trying to get something from a tiger, so I'm going to trouble you all to spend money." After saying that, he put one hand behind his back and fiddled with the skewers with the other.

Deputy General Xiao extended his hand and said, "Master Jiu, please go ahead. The banquet will be held in front of the corridor at the end of the Eye of Hell. The courtyard is full of trees, and the shade is very comfortable."

Jiu Ye took a moment to understand and led the way into the ancient temple, the Imperial Ancestral Temple. His attendants and officials followed closely behind. From the moment they entered the Imperial Ancestral Temple, the salt smugglers and officials sensed a difference between this place and the outside world. A stone corridor curved forward, flanked by dense pine and cypress trees, and a chilling wind made one shiver.

The tall green cypresses blocked out the sun and the hellish punishments on both sides made it impossible to eat.

King Hui thought to himself: "Uncle Nine has chosen a good place to punish these people." On both sides were countless murals depicting scenes of hellish punishments, with hearts and livers being ripped out and people being boiled in oil, which made people sweat.

There are also sacred roads, spiritual deeds, and stone tablets scattered around. The pale sight, like a dead person's face, makes the salt smugglers wipe the sweat from their foreheads.

At this time, Jiu Ye stopped and pointed at a red calligraphy on the wall and said with a faint smile: "This is a poem by the great writer Su Beimo! What a beautiful calligraphy!"

When everyone saw this, their scalps went numb.

"In the empty rooms of the southeast, how much gold, silver, and silk have you accumulated through cunning and robbery?

Nam Dinh is unscrupulous, a tyrant and a tyrant, destroying countless poor families!"

Isn't this southeastern direction the Dingnan Marquis's Mansion? Isn't this Nanding referring to the Dingnan Marquis? The bright red dripping traces look exactly like human blood. That civil servant, Su Beimo, was incredibly bold, actually daring to point directly at the emperor's own uncle!

But then I heard Jiu Ye say: "Nephew, ask someone to copy it and bring it back to the capital. Your father likes Su Beimo's calligraphy."

"Yes, Ninth Uncle." King Hui said respectfully.

At this time, a soldier ran in and whispered to Master Jiu, "Master Jiu, Miss Fu got into a fight with a local pig-killing bully named Li San at the west entrance of the Wei River. General Yi Huqi was unable to stop them, so Miss Fu whipped the bully into the Wei River. The bully's family said they would report Miss Fu to the authorities."

Jiu Ye smiled faintly and asked, "Is she hurt?"

The soldier said, "No. Miss Fu even distributed the bully's money to the victims there."

Jiu Ye: "Go tell General You to tell that little girl to behave herself. Also, rescue that man called Li San. He bullied so many people. Have that little girl take the victims to the government office to file a complaint."

Then he turned to Wei Shichang behind him and said, "Shichang."

"I am here."

"If someone comes to you to report to the authorities, you must handle the matter immediately. If the person reporting is a woman, and one of my generals is present, listen to what she says and do not refute her. Simply record everything she says and make the necessary judgment."

"Yes, Master Jiu, I'll take my leave." Wei Shichang left respectfully.

The soldier clasped his fists and said, "I'll convey the message immediately."

They continued walking in, passed through two doors, and arrived at the corridor. When Deputy General Xiao looked, he saw that there were indeed ten tables of eight-treasure banquets set up under the corridor. There were precious fruits, fish, meat, chicken, duck, and vegetarian food.

However, the statues were of evil spirits from the eighteen levels of hell. The Black and White Impermanence punished the unfaithful, the greedy, and the adulterous with eighteen kinds of punishments, such as burning, branding, axeing, and boiling.

Deputy General Xiao had fought with Master Jiu for many years, so he was not particularly affected by these things. On the contrary, the salt smugglers were so frightened that their faces turned pale as death, and they couldn't eat.

"Everyone," after everyone was seated, Jiu Ye took King Hui to the chief seat, while Deputy General Xiao and others stood beside them.

Everyone sat down.

Jiu Ye looked around, his expression suddenly became more casual, and he smiled:
