He hadn't realized the seriousness of the problem yet, and spoke with confidence, patting his chest.
"Don't worry, sir. This is just a small matter that I can handle easily!"
After making the promise, Gu Qiang actively asked questions.
"Sir, how should we determine merits and demerits?"
Kong Hanan waved his hand: "During the trial, the Book of Life and Death will show their merits and demerits, but sometimes the information will be incomplete."
Li Mihai immediately responded, "We, the Ligeng tribe, are the best at gathering information. If you or Master Gu need anything, just let us know."
Kong Hanan gave Li Mihai a thumbs up in his heart. This assist was great.
He paused and continued, "Those currently detained are all evil spirits. Among those with heinous sins, they have been handed over to Niu Dou, Ma Mian, Hei Bai Wu Chang, and are left to their discretion. They need the souls of the dead to improve their cultivation. Rather than strangling their souls and scattering them, it is better to let our brothers improve their cultivation first."
The cattle, horses and other monsters were overjoyed and began to look forward to the future work of catching ghosts.
"Those who have committed the most heinous crimes are demoted to the lowest levels of the underworld, like the group of Shendu ghosts. They will never be reborn and will be handed over to the Ligeng tribe and Bai Wuchang to supervise their labor. They will die unjustly in the city's outer districts, where there are prisons for them to live.
If anyone slacks off on their work, the Ligeng people will threaten them; anyone who dares to resist violently or refuses to make changes will be cast into the walls of the City of the Dead as a warning to others."
Li San and Bai Wuchang bowed and accepted the order.
Gu Qiang also nodded to indicate that he would take note of it.
"Those who have committed crimes but whose offenses are not serious may be punished with labor service as appropriate, but may have their own residence within the City of the Wrongly Dead."
As he listened, Gu Qiang felt a sense of unease. Why was he describing it in such detail? Why was there more? Wasn't I just helping him?
Kong Hanan ignored him and continued talking.
"Those who have redeemed their sins, or whose merits and demerits have offset each other, are allowed to reside in the City of the Wrongly Dead. They will be allowed to transcend until their relatives in the living world have burned enough paper money as offerings, or if their life span has ended."
After thinking for a moment, Kong Hanan whispered, "But the underworld is in urgent need of labor right now. Do you know what to do?"
Gu Qiang nodded numbly. He had guessed his fate, but still held on to a last glimmer of hope and asked, "Sir, when will the trial begin?"
Kong Hanan patted his shoulder and said, "Now, there are a lot of undead souls piled up in the City of the Dead. Come on, I'm rooting for you!"
Gu Qiang struggled and tried to speak: "Sir, I'm afraid there will be mistakes when you are not here..."
Kong Hanan stretched lazily. "I've just been running around these days and I'm a little tired. I'm going to rest first. You can handle it first. Heibai Wuchang and Li Mihai will assist you with all their strength. Don't worry, I believe in your experience in the ups and downs of officialdom."
Kong Hanan waved his hand to open the space rift, and Ma Mian understood and pulled a bullfight.
Since they were not assigned any jobs, it was a good opportunity for them to stay with the adults.
Niu Dou was somewhat reluctant, but was pushed into the rift by several men of the Bull Demon clan.
After they left, Heibai Wuchang and Li Mihai looked at Gu Qiang.
Gu Qiang smiled awkwardly and said, "I wonder how many undead souls are waiting for judgment?"
The three of them said nothing, took Gu Qiang out of the hall, and pointed at the dark clouds covering the City of the Dead.
Gu Qiang was completely desperate. He could never trust adults' smiles again! Absolutely not!
