Chapter 209 Judge Cui, are you a corrupt official?
Ning Bao stared blankly at the burly ghost official who was walking towards them...
"Who are you, some kind of judge?"
The judge nodded.
"Yes, yes, yes! I am the judge."
"Judge Cui, is that right? Well, you've come at the perfect time. I was just about to ask you to settle my case!" Ning Bao raised her little face, pointed at Liu Si, and looked at Judge Cui.
"Look! This person conspired with others to use evil magic to kidnap my brother Mu Yang from the mortal realm and bring him here."
He also said that he could send any ghost that came to the underworld directly to be reincarnated without the need for civil and military judges to judge them, and that they would be sent to the animal realm.
"Someone like my brother Mu Yang... he actually managed to cast him into the animal realm on his own initiative, your underworld is really something!"
Ning Bao couldn't explain why Shen Muyang had a purple-gold light on him, but she knew that anyone with light on them was definitely not simple, let alone such a cool light. Shen Muyang was definitely not simple.
However, there are some things she can't say carelessly. Her master said that someone as talented as her who reveals heavenly secrets will be punished by heavenly lightning.
"Liu Si! Who gave you such audacity to go to the mortal realm to meet ghosts without permission?"
Judge Cui glanced at Shen Muyang, and he was completely stunned…
This person's spirit was different from that of ordinary people; it emitted an unusual light, and he couldn't even see the true form within that light...
It seems it's because his spiritual power is insufficient...
The judge's attitude towards Ning Bao and Shen Muyang made Liu Si feel a little flustered, but it only lasted for a moment. Then he took out a stack of ghost money from his pocket.
"Your Honor, I heard that a new restaurant has opened in the Underworld and the food is quite good. Let's go check it out when we have time. Please take this money with you and have a cup of tea."
I've wanted to show my respect to you for a long time, but I just haven't had the chance.
As Liu Si spoke, he put the ghost money in Judge Selin's arms.
Shen Muyang and Ning Bao both looked at the judge. Ning Bao innocently pointed at Liu Si.
"Judge Cui, is he your grandson? Otherwise, why would he be so filial to you? But you two are so strange. Not only do you not look alike, but you also have no familial ties. It seems this person is not your biological grandson."
Shen Muyang tugged at Ning Bao's sleeve, but unfortunately, Shen Muyang was still a ghost, and his hand passed right through Ning Bao's clothes.
Seeing this, Shen Muyang was stunned. Ning Bao chanted a spell, giving Shen Muyang a physical form. Then, she took Shen Muyang's hand and placed it on her sleeve.
"Brother Muyang, don't be sad, you can touch it. Don't worry, Ningbao is here, you won't die. We'll go back in a bit. Aunt Gu must be very, very sad. When I came here, I noticed that Aunt Gu's eyes were already red from crying."
For some reason, Shen Muyang would have thought these words were nonsense if they came from someone else, but when Ning Bao said them, he felt that Ning Bao could definitely do it.
Shen Muyang nodded.
"Yes, I believe Ningbao, we will definitely be able to go back."
Then, under Ning Bao's expectant gaze, Shen Muyang gently tugged at Ning Bao's sleeve again.
“Ningbao, the way Liu the Ghost Messenger shows respect to the judge is the respect of a subordinate to a superior, not the respect of a grandson to his grandfather.”
Ningbao frowned with a puzzled look on her face.
"Oh, so subordinates need to show respect to their superiors? Brother Muyang, will you become an official in the future? No, you are the heir apparent, so you are already an official."
"When the time comes, Brother Muyang will also have to take care of your boss."
Shen Muyang shook his head without hesitation.
“Ningbao, it’s enough for a subordinate to be respectful to his superior. But to offer so many silver notes as a tribute like Liu Guicha is not a tribute but a bribe.”
"Bribery?" Ning Bao frowned and looked at Judge Cui with dissatisfaction.
"Brother Muyang, aren't the people who accept bribes corrupt officials?"
So it turns out Judge Cui is a corrupt official. My 48th senior brother said that corrupt officials are the worst kind of people.
His family was ruined by corrupt officials, leaving him all alone. With no other option, he went to the mountains to become a Taoist priest.
Having clearly heard Ning Bao and Shen Muyang's conversation, the judge quickly stuffed the ghost money Liu Si had given him back.
"Liu Si, take this silver note back. I always handle matters officially, so don't try to cause me any trouble."
As Judge Cui spoke, he summoned several little devils who seized Liu Si.
"Little aunt, Liu Si has committed many evils, and I will definitely punish him severely."
Ning Bao nodded absentmindedly.
"Oh, you can handle it. As long as you can live with your own conscience, that's fine. My forty-eighth senior brother said that officials should live with their own conscience, otherwise they might as well go home and sell pork."
"Judge, why don't you go sell pork too?"
Judge: "…………"
