"I don't accept it!" Jiang Lan immediately shouted loudly: "You are a human being, and he is also a human being. You are showing favoritism! I don't accept it!"

Jiang Lan burst into tears, pointing at Zheng Li and shouting, "Don't you have a son? If your son was beaten to death, would you sentence him like this?"

Zheng Li was furious at these words, but he remained calm. He simply said to Jiang Lan in a deep voice, "My judgment is in accordance with the laws of nature, and Liu Daye's actions at the time were also in accordance with common sense. The first mistake in this matter is that your son shouldn't have come to Daliao Manor. Monsters have their own world, and humans have their own world. We should keep to ourselves. Your son has crossed the line by entering Daliao Manor without permission."

"Before the human race appeared, there were only us demons in the world. Why don't you say that this world originally belonged to us demons?" Jiang Lan said loudly.

Zheng Li frowned. He could see that Jiang Lan was losing her sanity, so he said slowly, "Don't be impatient. I haven't finished yet."

Jiang Lan looked at Zheng Li and said, "You've already ruled that my son was wrong. What does it matter whether he finished speaking or not?"

Zheng Li said, "Although the fault lies with your son, he had no intention of harming anyone at the time and has never done anything to hurt anyone. Therefore, in my opinion, your son deserves this misfortune and should be allowed to return to life."

"Ah?" Zheng Li had just finished speaking, and before Jiang Lan could say anything, the land god Su Yan beside him became anxious. "Master Zheng, it's already dead, its soul is imprisoned, and its current life has been crossed out in the Book of Life and Death. How can it be resurrected just like that?"

The two ghost officers who were holding the little snake demon nearby also said, "To bring a dead person back to life, we need the approval of at least the Ten Kings of Hell. This Lord Zheng has no say."

Zheng Li spread his hands and said, "Then what am I doing here?"

Su Yan smiled and said, "Of course, we asked Lord Zheng to come and judge the right and wrong. Now that the right and wrong have been determined, Lord Zheng, you can go back and rest first."

Su Yan's meaning is very simple. We need you, Lord Zheng, to judge who is right and who is wrong, who is guilty and who is innocent. As for the rest, you don't have to worry about it. It's useless to worry about it.

Zheng Li was about to speak when suddenly a cloud of light rose from under his feet. He looked down and saw that the ground was shrinking rapidly, and he was flying high into the sky again.

Then the cloud light under Zheng Li's feet carried his soul and turned into a ray of light and flew back to Yanzhou City. Zheng Li saw Yanzhou City, his home, and his wife still busy weaving at the loom.

'Buzz'

Then Zheng Li's eyes turned white, and he opened his eyes and woke up.

What caught his eye was his bedroom and the dim light, and the sound of his wife's loom could be heard in his ears.

Zheng Li blinked his eyes. At this moment, he was extremely energetic. Although he had only slept for less than an hour, he felt as refreshed as if he had had a long and good sleep.

Thinking back to everything in his 'dream', Zheng Li still felt very amused and curious. "Could it be that immortals really have to judge cases just like mortals?"

Zheng Li was no longer sleepy. He got up, put on his clothes, and then went into the main room.

"Huh? Are you awake?" The wife said in surprise as she watched Zheng Li walk out of the bedroom.

Zheng Li nodded and said, "I'm a little thirsty."

Zheng Li came to the table, picked up the teacup and drank a cup of cold tea, then asked his wife, "Did Wu'er write?"

Wu'er is Zheng Wu, the son of Zheng Li.

When Yun heard her husband's question, she shook her head and said, "Not yet."

Zheng Li thought of the snake demon in his dream and felt a pang of longing for his son. "Wu'er has been studying in Chang'an for three years now, right?"

"Yes, time flies so fast." Yun also sighed.

...

After Zheng Li was sent back, the person who had a headache was the land god Su Yan, because Jiang Lan had been holding on to Zheng Li's words and insisted that her son return to life.

Su Yan took great pains to appease Jiang Lan, asking her to stay calm, and then sent Liu Daye's soul back.

However, when Liu Daye's soul was sent back, Fang Jian quietly used his magic power to seal Liu Daye's memory of himself tonight in Liu Daye's mind.

So when Liu Daye wakes up tomorrow morning, Fang Jian will not be in his memory of tonight's trial.

Because Zheng Li has already ruled that Liu Daye is innocent, he will have nothing to do with it in the future. If Jiang Lan continues to cause trouble for Liu Daye, she will be going against the law of nature.

Su Yan will record Zheng Li's judgment truthfully and submit it to the Tianjun Palace of Southern Continent for filing. This is an ironclad case.

However, Zheng Li did say that he wanted to bring the little snake demon back to life.

"You immortal officials can't go back on your words!" Jiang Lan said to Su Yan.

Su Yan was in a dilemma. "Resurrection is a big deal. If something goes wrong, it will be a violation of the Heavenly Law." Su Yan looked at Jiang Lan and said, "You can't be unaware of the severity of violating the Heavenly Law, right?"

"Then I don't care. You asked Xuan Pan to say so, and I also recorded it with the spiritual light. If anything goes wrong at that time, I can explain it here!" Jiang Lan said.

Su Yan patted his forehead, glanced at Jiang Lan and fell silent.

After a long while, Su Yan raised his head again and said, "How about this? I'll think of a solution for this matter. Your son's soul will be temporarily sent to the underworld. He won't go to Hades or reincarnate. He will stay there for a few days while I think of a solution. How about that?"

Jiang Lan hesitated. She glanced at her son and said, "Can't we let him live in the land god temple first?"

"No." Su Yan said, "The Heavenly Law stipulates that the Earth God Temple cannot accept the souls of any living creatures."

Jiang Lan thought for a long time before saying, "Then...we'll have to do this for now."
