As Han Gao and Jiang Tong were escorted to the palace, Judge Wu fell to his knees with a thud. His face was pale and his eyes were full of despair.

King Qin Guang's face was gloomy, and when his eyes fell on Judge Wu, Han Gao, and Jiang Tong, he couldn't help but snort coldly.

This cold snort frightened the three men so much that they trembled all over. Han Gao and Jiang Tong knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, saying, "King of Hell, spare us! King of Hell, spare us!"

Prince Qin Guang ignored their pleas and turned to the Ghost King of Lingchuan standing nearby and asked, "Has Master Hongqing arrived?"

Upon hearing this, the Ghost King of Lingchuan bowed and said, "Your Majesty, it has been half an hour since the Three Realms Inspection Office issued the decree. True Man Hongqing should be arriving soon."

"Yeah." King Qin Guang nodded, then turned and looked at Judge Wu.

"Wu Ze!" King Qin Guang shouted.

Judge Wu quickly responded, "The guilty judge Wu Zhe is here."

King Qin Guang said in a cold tone, "You call yourself a criminal official. Have you admitted your guilt?"

Wu Zhe bowed his head and said, "Your Excellency, Prince Qin Guang, I, the guilty official Wu Zhe, plead guilty."

King Qin Guang asked, "Do you know who discovered your crime?"

Wu Zhe said: "The guilty official does not know."

Prince Qin Guang raised his left hand, a decree gleaming with golden light in his hand. "This is a decree from the Three Realms Inspection Division's Inspector General, Immortal Hongqing. It alleges that you accepted bribes from scattered immortals and privately helped people close cases and extend their lives. Therefore, the underworld is ordering your arrest."

"Master Hongqing..." Wu Zhe's face was stunned for a moment. As he said the name, a strong fear surged in his heart.

The next moment, Wu Zhe suddenly bowed to Prince Qin Guang and said, "Sir Prince Qin Guang, I have violated the Yin Law. I am willing to accept the punishment. I only ask that you do not hand me over to Master Hong Qing!"

After saying this, Wu Zhe began to kowtow and beg King Qin Guang.

The four judges looked at each other and shook their heads. King Qin Guang said calmly, "Do you think this is something I can decide?"

If the underworld discovered that Wu Zhe had accepted bribes, then the matter could be dealt with within the underworld.

But unfortunately, it was Master Hongqing who discovered first that you had violated the Yin Law, and this is not something that the underworld can handle independently.

At this moment, a ghost messenger hurried into the hall and bowed to King Qin Guang, saying, "Your Majesty, the Immortal Hongqing has arrived."

The four judges immediately stood up from behind the desk, and King Qin Guang immediately looked towards the entrance of the hall.

The next moment, Fang Jian, wearing a Qingxia Yudou Qilin robe, stepped into the first hall. The four judges quickly walked down the hall steps and bowed to Fang Jian in unison, saying, "Master Hongqing."

In terms of the rank of immortal officials, the four great judges, like Fang Jian, are all third-rank immortal officials.

Fang Jian also bowed in return, then took the initiative to bow to the head of the Qin Guangwang, saying: "Your humble servant, Fang Jian, pays homage to the Qin Guangwang."

Prince Qin Guang smiled and nodded slightly towards Fang Jian, then ordered, "Set up a seat for Master Hongqing."

A ghost messenger immediately placed a sandalwood chair on the steps of the hall, its position level with the four judges.

Fang Jian thanked him and took his seat. Then King Qin Guang said, "Master Hongqing, Judge Wu Zhe and the ghost messengers Han Gao and Jiang Tong are all detained here."

Fang Jian sat on the sandalwood chair and bowed to King Qin Guang. Then he turned around, his eyes fell on Wu Zhe, and asked, "Are you Wu Zhe, the judge of Yangpan Hall?"

Wu Zhe hurriedly bowed and said, "Replying to Master Hongqing, it is the guilty official."

"Oh?" Fang Jian smiled when he heard that. "You call yourself a guilty official, so you admit your guilt?"

Wuzhe Dao said: "The guilty official, due to a momentary greed, violated the Yin Law. His crime is unforgivable. I willingly plead guilty and accept the punishment."

Fang Jian's face turned serious, and he said, "Hand over the three thousand year old Penglai grass you received."

Wu Zhe's eyes suddenly widened. Fang Jian not only knew that he had accepted bribes, but he could even tell him the details of the bribes. What did this mean?

This means that when the two idiots behind him were negotiating with others, Master Hongqing had already seen all of this!

Wu Zhe sighed deeply in his heart. What else could he say? He could only blame his bad luck. This was the first time he accepted bribes in his immortal official career that he encountered such a thing.

With Wu Zhe handing over the 3,000-year-old Penglai grass, his guilt was completely settled.

Fang Jian then called in two people from outside the first hall, one was Bai Xingjian, the clerk of the Three Realms Inspection Office, and the other was Qian Fan, the editor of the Tiangong Academy.

Shuling Shi Baixingjian was responsible for recording the case and the confessions, while Tiangongyuan's Jizangshi was responsible for collecting the stolen goods, because these stolen goods would eventually be confiscated into Tiangongyuan's warehouse.

"Wu Ze, the judge of the Yangpan Palace in the underworld, accepted a bribe from an immortal for a three-thousand-year-old Penglai grass, and secretly closed cases and extended the lives of living people..." Fang Jian stopped here and did not continue.

When they heard Fang Jian suddenly pause, Prince Qin Guang and the four judges all looked towards Fang Jian.

At this time, Fang Jian said, "However, Wu Zhe is an official of the underworld. He has violated the laws of the underworld and should be handed over to the underworld for punishment."

After saying this, Fang Jian turned and bowed to Prince Qin Guang, saying, "Wu Zhe is the judge of the underworld. He accepted bribes and secretly helped a living person to close a case and prolong his life. How should he be punished? I ask Prince Qin Guang to decide."

Fang Jian's words confused King Qin Guang, but he soon realized that Fang Jian was transferring the power of judging the case to him.

If Fang Jian was only an inspector of the three realms, then it would be perfectly normal for him to transfer the case to the underworld.

But don't forget, Fang Jian is now also serving as the God of Justice, so there is no need to do this.

However, Fang Jian still handed the case over to the underworld and let King Qin Guang make the judgment. King Qin Guang already understood the intention of doing so.
