Upon hearing this, Judge Cui took a closer look at Qi San and whispered in Yan Wenjing's ear, "Qi San's uncle is Qi Tong, who is a ghost guard in charge of managing the prison."
Yan Wenjing's expression did not change upon hearing this. He simply whispered something to Judge Cui, then glanced at Qi San casually and said, "It seems you each have your own version of events. Bring the other troublemakers and Qi Tong to the court."
Upon hearing Yan Wenjing order Qi Tong to be brought to the palace, Qi San collapsed to the ground, completely paralyzed.
It's over.
He's really finished.
In the main hall, no ghost noticed him. The ghost messenger immediately brought up a group of ghosts who had just gathered, along with two confessions placed on Yan Wenjing's table, and another document whose contents were unknown.
Because of the large number of ghosts, the main hall became quite crowded and noisy for a while.
Judge Cui, with a cold face, said, "Quiet!"
For a moment, the hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Qi Tong was brought to the main hall at this time.
Qi Tong was inspecting the prison when he was escorted to the main hall by ghost guards. On the way, he tried to get the reason why King Yama had sent him to the King Yama's Palace, but to no avail. The ghost guards escorting him refused to reveal a single word, leaving him unable to do anything he wanted to do.
When he arrived at the main hall and saw his good nephew among the ghosts, he immediately understood something.
Qi San saw that his uncle was avoiding eye contact and didn't dare to say a word.
Qi Tong knelt down and respectfully called out, "King Yama."
Yan Wenjing: "Do you know why you were summoned here?"
Qi Tong glanced at Qi San and replied, "Can you guess how much it's because my nephew got into trouble?"
Yan Wenjing glanced at the confessions on both sides, threw them at his feet, and said coldly, "Take a good look at the good things he's done."
Qi Tong's face grew increasingly grim as he read, and finally he gripped the testimony tightly, angrily saying, "King Yama, I had no idea he had done so many bad things."
Qi San's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously turned his head to look at the group of ghosts following behind him.
However, the other ghosts all lowered their heads, not daring to meet his gaze.
The synchronized movements made Qi San realize that they must have confessed, and he felt utterly hopeless.
Upon hearing this, Yan Wenjing said meaningfully, "You really don't know?"
Qi Tong, with an air of righteous indignation, said, "Your Majesty, I truly had no idea that this brat would act so recklessly by taking advantage of my relationship. According to what he has done, he should be imprisoned."
Upon hearing this, Qi San looked at his uncle in shock. Although he knew that his uncle would sever ties with him if he found out about his affairs, he never expected that his uncle would be so righteous as to turn against his own family!
Yan Wenjing asked calmly, "Qi San, is there anything else you want to say?"
He closed his eyes, looking utterly dejected. "I have nothing to say."
Yan Wenjing then tossed another report at Qi Tong, sneering, "Since that's the case, Qi Tong, let's see what you have to say now!"
Qi Tong picked it up, but after just one glance, his expression changed drastically. His demeanor was completely different from his righteous and indignant declaration of his intention to sacrifice his own family. His hands trembled as he cried out urgently, "Your Majesty, this is all a frame-up!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than the ghost messengers who had searched his room arrived with the ghost money they had found in Qi Tong's house. The ghost messengers respectfully presented all the ghost money, saying, "Your Majesty, all of this was found in Qi Tong's room."
Qi Tong wanted to argue, but after opening his mouth, he finally collapsed to the ground.
The next second, he got up and knelt down in front, tears streaming down his face, crying and shouting, "I was wrong, King Yama, I was wrong, please give me another chance, I will never dare to do it again."
Yan Wenjing coldly read out the verdict: "Upon investigation, Qi San threatened Ms. Qin, a business owner, during this disturbance, and damaged her food cart, tables, and chairs. He also repeatedly used his uncle's connections to threaten other businesses, constituting malicious competition. He is hereby fined 100,000 yuan in ghost money to compensate Ms. Qin for the food cart, tables, chairs, and other items, as well as to provide psychological support to Ms. Qin's customers. His shop is confiscated, and he is imprisoned for one year, with his reincarnation time extended."
"His uncle, Qi Tong, accepted bribes of over one million yuan in ghost money, protected his nephew, Qi San, and repeatedly used improper means to seek benefits for him. He knowingly broke the law and was sentenced to twenty strokes of the soul whip, dismissed from his position as a prison ghost guard, and never allowed to reincarnate. All his money was confiscated."
"All of Qi San's subordinates involved in the incident, except for Qi San himself, will be punished and ordered to pay Ms. Qin and her clients 1,000 yuan each in ghost money."
"I hereby promise that if Ms. Qin needs a shop, no matter the location, she can purchase or lease it at a 10% discount to compensate her for the injustice she suffered in the underworld today."
Yan Wenjing slightly raised his eyes, looking down at all the ghosts, and said in a calm voice, "Do any of you have any objections?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Yune's eyes lit up, and her gaze widened in surprise: "!!!"
I never expected that being targeted would lead to such a good thing!!
If such good things could happen every time, she'd be happy for it to happen more often!
The other ghosts, especially merchants like Xiao Nie, were all shocked. After all, the underworld had never offered discounts on houses or shops in such a long time, so this was a great thing!
Yan Wenjing glanced at Qin Yunie's smiling, almond-shaped eyes, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Since there are no objections, you may all step down."
At this moment, Xie Bi'an and Judge Cui both came over and said, "Congratulations."
Qin Yune said in a low voice, "I also want to thank Brother Xie and Judge Cui for coming to speak well of me in time. When are you free? I'll cook something delicious for you! Or you can discuss it and I can prepare the dishes and cook them in the underworld."
"Oh, and please tell the King of Hell for me that I want to thank him."
“Okay, let’s discuss it.” Xie Bi’an and Cui Yu nodded quickly. After all, they were on duty and the King of Hell was watching, so they couldn’t say too much to Qin Yune. The two of them returned to their work mode.
Before leaving, Qin Yune met Yan Wenjing's gaze, smiled, opened her mouth slightly, and silently said: Thank you, King Yama! Remember to come!
Yan Wenjing's lips curled up slightly, and she nodded gently at her.
Qin Yune then followed the other ghosts and left the Yama's Palace.
Outside the Yama King's Palace, other ghosts who were familiar with Qin Yune came over to congratulate her, "Congratulations, Boss Qin!"
"Congratulations, Mr. Qin! If you open a shop, please let us know in advance!"
"Exactly! I rely on getting a bottle of wine and some peanuts from Boss Qin every day to get by. If I don't eat them one day, I always feel like something is missing."
Facing the ghosts who had helped her so much today, Qin Yu Nie smiled and said loudly, "Don't worry, thanks to everyone's help today, remember to come tomorrow! All drinks and boxed meals are free! It's on me!"
In contrast to Qin Yunie's joy, Qi San and his uncle Qi Tong were escorted out by the ghost messengers.
When Qi San's group of ghosts came out, they were all unhappy, and when they saw Qin Yunie and the others, they all kept their distance from them.
