Zhou Ruohua was detained by the ghost messengers Xie Yuan and Zheng Fang and crossed the Yellow Springs Road, entered the Ghost Gate, crossed the Forgotten River to wash away the karma, and finally arrived at the first hall of the underworld.

Looking at the Black and White Impermanence and the Ox-Head and Horse-Face that only existed in legends, Zhou Ruhua was extremely scared.

"Zhou Ruohua." Judge Cui of the Yinlu Division looked at Zhou Ruohua and shouted loudly.

Zhou Ruohua shuddered and woke up immediately, and replied in a trembling voice: "In..."

Judge Cui stood up and said to Zhou Ruohua, "I am Cui Jue, the judge of the Yin Law Department of the underworld. Do you know me?"

When Zhou Ruohua heard the name, he knelt down and said, "Zhou Ruohua greets Judge Cui."

Judge Cui nodded, then turned and pointed at Prince Qin Guang and said, "This is Prince Qin Guang, one of the Ten Yama Kings, from the First Hall."

Zhou Ruohua was shocked when he heard this and kowtowed to Prince Qin Guang again, saying, "Greetings to His Highness Prince Qin Guang."

However, the person that Judge Cui introduced next really surprised Zhou Ruhua, because she really didn't expect to meet Fang Jian here!

"This is Master Hongqing, the inspector of the Three Realms Inspection Office of the Heavenly Court." Judge Cui pointed at Fang Jian standing aside and introduced him.

Originally, when Zhou Ruohua first entered the hall, she was frightened by the evil spirits and ghosts around her and did not notice Fang Jian at all. But now that Judge Cui introduced him, she naturally recognized Fang Jian at a glance.

Zhou Ruohua's eyes widened, and she stammered for a long moment with her cherry-like mouth open. Finally, she said, "Fang...Brother Fang?"

Prince Qin Guang and the four judges were startled when they heard Zhou Ruhua's name, and looked at Fang Jian in astonishment.

Could it be that there was something going on between Master Hongqing and this woman? For a moment, Prince Qin Guang and the four judges were at a loss for words.

"Ahem." Fang Jian coughed, then said, "Zhou Ruohua, your life span is over. Do you know that?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ruohua quickly said, "Brother Fang, I was seriously ill before my death, but was cured by Divine Doctor He. Weren't you also with Divine Doctor He at that time, Brother Fang?"

At this point, Zhou Ruohua quickly said, "Brother Fang, please testify for me."

Fang Jian shook his head and said, "Zhou Ruohua, this god cannot testify for you. Your life span has ended, and this has nothing to do with the treatment. Please listen to me in detail."

Then, Fang Jian told Zhou Ruohua about Zhou Ruohua's life span, and the bribery and abuse of power by Fairy Xiyue, Judge Wu, and the two ghost officials. Finally, he said, "You should have died two days ago, but Fairy Xiyue bribed the ghost officials.

"Official, we have cleared your murder case, allowing you to live a few more days. Now that the judge and the ghost messenger have been brought to justice, your soul will soon return to the underworld."

While Fang Jian was speaking, there was another commotion outside the First Hall, and then two more male ghosts were brought in by the ghost officer.

These two men were the mortals who had been cleared of the case by Fairy Xiyue, Han Gao, and Jiang Tong. However, compared to Zhou Ruhua, these two men were obviously much luckier, because one of them had lived ten more years, and the other had lived four more years.

Then Fang Jian explained everything to the two men. After hearing it, the three ghosts burst into tears.

Zhou Ruhua, in particular, cried even more sadly. She passed away without even having the chance to take a second look at her loved ones.

The trial of the first two people was carried out quickly. Both of them were rich and powerful people. They had enjoyed too much happiness in this life and had done more evil than good.

Especially since these two men, one is a prince and the other is the second generation of a Tang Dynasty official, have played with many women in their lives and have been unfaithful to many women who gave birth to their children.

So King Qin Guang ignored the two people's crying and directly sentenced them to be reincarnated as women for three lifetimes, and then to be prostitutes for three lifetimes.

The two men were dragged away by the ghost messenger amidst wailing and went straight to the Tenth Hall, the Hall of the Chakravartin. Only Zhou Ruohua was left trembling in the hall.

As for these three people in front of them, the underworld naturally wants them to reincarnate as soon as possible to avoid any more trouble.

However, the first two people are easy to deal with. They have already lived a few years longer than their original lifespan, so there is no problem in directly going into reincarnation after the trial.

But it is not easy for Zhou Ruohua, because Zhou Ruohua's life is almost like a blank sheet of paper, with neither great good nor small good, nor great evil nor small evil. How should he be judged?

Moreover, according to the laws of the underworld, in Zhou Ruhua's case, her soul should be captured after the "rest of the body" period.

"Master Hongqing, look at this..." Qin Guangchao asked Fang Jian.

Fang Jian pondered for a moment, then said to Zhou Ruohua, "Zhou Ruohua, the underworld can show mercy and send you to the world of the living so you can see your family and friends one last time."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ruohua quickly knelt down and kowtowed to Fang Jian and Prince Qin Guang. "Thank you, Your Highness Prince Qin Guang, and thank you, Brother Fang, for your kindness."

Fang Jian looked at her like this and said again: "But you have to think carefully. The underworld will send you back to see your relatives and friends for the last time, but you still have to return to the underworld to reincarnate. If you don't go back, I can arrange for you to reincarnate now.

You will need to stay in the underworld for a while longer. If you return to the world of the living and see your relatives and friends, you may be even more miserable when you return to the underworld. You must think carefully."

Zhou Ruohua burst into tears. After hearing Fang Jian's words for a moment, she said with determination, "Thank you, Brother Fang. I... I still want to go back and see them one last time."

"Okay." Fang Jian nodded, then looked at King Qin Guang.

King Qin Guang nodded slightly, then called down, "Where are the Black and White Impermanence?"

The two Impermanence Gods, Black and White, immediately stepped forward, bowed to King Qin Guang and said, "Here I am."
