Chapter 575 Hell Palace

The more drums were heavy, and everything was silent.

Tonight, the stars and the moon are dark, the clouds are dense, and the darkness shrouds the Fusi Prison in Beizhen, making this terrifying prison that the people in the capital have heard become more and more eerie.Inside and outside this two-foot-high green brick wall covered with thorns, there are many terrifying legends. It is said that there are many evil spirits wandering around the corners of the wall at night. If you get close, you will often hear ghosts crying. He also said that the deep corridor leading to the entrance of the imperial prison is an entrance to the gate of ghosts.Therefore, when it gets dark, apart from the Jinyiwei who have to patrol, even the officers and soldiers inside Beizhen Fusi are unwilling to take a step closer to the imperial prison...

Regardless of whether that corridor is the Huangquan Road leading to hell, the interior of the imperial prison is indeed a dark living hell. In the damp and dark cell, it is dark day and night, only the wind lanterns embedded at intervals on the stone wall, A little yellow light was emitted, weakly illuminating the cells surrounded by thick iron fences.

Although it is already March outside, the dungeon is still windy and bitterly cold, and the air is filled with a strong rancid smell. Ordinary people will get sick if they stay in it for a while, and the prisoners in the prison stay there all day In this environment, many people couldn't bear it and died, and even if the rest of them didn't die, they were already lingering, and they were neither human nor ghost... They were completely numb to fear, pain, shame... those human beings with The innate senses are lost in all kinds of dullness, even the rats gnaw on their rotting limbs, they will be indifferent.

Li Chun, the former deputy governor of Beizhen Fusi, was locked up here.Wang Xian opened the trial that day. Although Li Gou'er gritted his teeth and took all the responsibilities, Li Chun couldn't get away with the crime of favoritism and framing the good people.It has been more than a month so far. In the past month, Li Chun has been bullied and abused by the jailers all day long. What makes him suffer even more is hunger and despair.

According to regulations, meals are served twice a day in the prison. The first meal in Maoshi is clear watery porridge and an egg... a large black-faced steamed bun. The second meal in Youshi is brown rice with more sand than rice, served with boiled water. cabbage.This kind of food can really starve people to death. In order to reduce consumption, the prisoners can only lie still every day, and of course they have no strength to move...

The guards did not give Li Chun special care because he was their leader.For the past three days, it was as if he had been forgotten, not giving him breakfast, not giving him dinner, not even giving him a meal today. Li Chun was so hungry that his eyes were dim, and he lay motionless on the straw. I have no strength to breathe.

Despair is worse than hunger. After the trial that day, Li Chun completely lost contact with the outside world. He didn't know what happened. Why didn't the governor come to rescue him after so long?Could it be that the governor has given up on himself?Or did the governor himself encounter some trouble?
Regardless of the possibility, Li Chun knew that the longer the time he was detained, the less hope he would be rescued. When he thought of losing the life of his uncle and nephew in order not to implicate Ji Gang, Ji Gang refused. To save himself, Li Chun was full of resentment. He wished he could tell what he knew and let Ji Gang come to jail with him.But this is just imagination, if he dares to confess Ji Gang, dozens of members of the whole family will die!
Li Chun was completely overwhelmed by hunger and despair. He lay powerless on the straw, letting the skinny mice in the cell jump up and down, but he didn't want to and couldn't drive them away.He couldn't move anymore, and the various hallucinations that kept appearing in his mind made him understand that he was waiting to die, and he would be completely free at some point...

Just like this, after the second drum in a daze, Li Chun suddenly heard a horrible ghost cry, and then a gust of dark wind blew into the prison, one after another the wind lamps went out one after another, the sound of the jailer gambling money in the cell, the moans of the prisoners He couldn't hear the sound in a blink of an eye, and even the mouse that was crawling around on him just now disappeared...

The whole cell was suddenly dead silent, and Li Chun could clearly hear his own breathing. This eerie silence made Li Chun terrified. He tried his best to struggle to sit up, but saw a terrifying scene. A lantern of light slowly floated over from the end of the cell passage!There was no one around the lantern at all, it just floated over so lonely, hovering over the door of his cell!

Li Chun was so horrified by this scene that the hairs on his body stood on end, but what was even more terrifying was yet to come. At some point, there were two more people standing outside the cell door. One was wearing a black robe and long black hat, and the other was wearing a long black hat. Wearing white robes and long white caps, these two men were pale, with blood-red eyes and long tongues in their mouths, standing outside the cell, staring at him expressionlessly.

Yes, these two are suspended in the air, a full foot above the ground!
"Black and white impermanence!" Li Chun cried out, his heart was completely cold, my time has really come!
"Are you Li Chun?" Black and White Wuchang asked with a ghostly look at the same time, and they made a tooth-chattering sound without seeing their mouths move.

"Yes..." Li Chun said in a daze.

"Your lifespan is up, come with us to meet the King of Hades!" Hei Wuchang said in a deep voice, and saw Hei Wuchang swung the mourning stick in his hand, and the locked cell door opened by itself.Another point of the mourning stick, a flash of fire in the cell, suddenly jumped out of a green-faced, long-toothed, dark ghost, he came to Li Chun in two steps, lifted Li Chun's hair, and held him on his shoulders!
Li Chunzao was so frightened that his feces and urine flowed, how could he have any strength to resist, when the evil ghost was resisted on his shoulders, he only felt that the Zhang Er evil ghost's whole body was extremely cold, and the breath it exhaled was extremely stench. Suddenly, I looked at the place where I was lying just now, and there was still someone lying there. I took a closer look, and if it wasn't me, who was it?Immediately fainted from fright!

Drowsy, he didn't know how many dark places he had passed, how many corpse mountains and seas of blood, and how many wandering ghosts he had seen. He finally came to a magnificent palace and saw many ghosts with blue faces and fangs. The pawn was standing at the bottom of the steps. At this time, the black and white Wuchang had disappeared, only the ghost pawn who was carrying him threw Li Chun in front of the hall, sang to the ghost pawn who came up, and then turned and disappeared.

In a daze, Li Chun was chained by two ghost soldiers with icy iron chains, and they led him into the palaces. But seeing that the hall was full of gloomy atmosphere without exception, only the dim green light shone on those ghost soldiers, which was extremely terrifying.What is even more frightening is that those who were tortured by the ghost soldiers, some were struggling in the boiling oil pan, and half of their bodies were only bones, but they still screamed; Still crawling in a daze, looking for his lower body.There was also the female prisoner, whose mouth was opened by the ghost soldier, and the tongue was pulled out with iron pliers. The protruding tongue was thrown in front of Li Chun's eyes with blood. Even though he had enjoyed torture, he was frightened and fainted again !
By this time, Li Chun had already firmly believed that he had come to the underworld. When he saw the prisoners being tortured, he suddenly remembered his crimes in the underworld.If this is a sentence, will he not be sent to the eighteenth level of hell, and he will not be reborn forever? !

When Li Chun woke up again, he saw himself kneeling in the hall. There was a big koan set up in the hall, and there were no tall lights in the middle, only a pair of candlesticks, burning green candles the size of mung beans, with a faint light. It can be seen faintly, behind the koan sits a black-faced and bearded emperor wearing a dragon robe and an emperor's crown. He is obviously the king of Hades!

On the left side of Hades' lower head, there is an official wearing a big red python robe and black gauze on his head. He is holding a case file in his left hand and a stylus in his right hand. His complexion is blue and his eyes are like lightning. Looking at himself, Li Chunzhi felt that his heart and soul had been seen through, and all the secrets were under the eyes of the other party!
Obviously, this is the Judge!
Under the King of Hades and the magistrate, there were many bull-headed and horse-faced men standing two feet tall, each holding ghost-headed knives and white-bone sticks, standing majestically under the hall.

Surrounded by these huge ghosts and gods, Li Chun felt like a baby. He knelt down on his knees and kowtowed his head like garlic. He knew that the things he did could be hidden from others in the world, but not in the underworld. The hell king, everything is recorded in the book of life and death. You can't deny it, so you can only confess first and strive for leniency...

.

At this time, Heiwuchang came out from nowhere, and floated in front of King Yan again in the air, and sang aloud: "As sent by King Yan, bring Li Chun, a native of the Yingtian Mansion of the Ming Dynasty, to the judge to verify his authenticity." !"

"It's good to be detained, it's this person." The judge nodded, and cupped his hands at Lord Yan.

"Well, you step back." When the King of Hell spoke, his voice was like a torrent of bells, shaking the entire Palace of King of Hell to buzz.

Hei Wuchang saluted again, and left in the air.Then I heard the King of Hades Hong Sheng ask: "Judge Cui, has this person committed any crimes in the world?"

Then Judge Cui opened the book of life and death in his hand, muttered some words, raised his head and glanced at Li Chun in disgust, and then reported to the king of hell: "My lord, this person has committed many evils, and his crimes are really countless, and his evil is endless. !"

The King of Hades was furious when he heard the words, he slapped the gavel heavily, and then he heard the thunder outside the hall, and only heard the King of Hades yelled: "In that case, let him be thrown into the eighteenth level of hell, where he will be scorched in a steamer, burned in a mountain of knives and burned in oil, and tortured with a hammer." The punishment of sawing with a knife will prevent you from being reborn forever!"

"Here!" Hades gave an order, and the bull-headed and horse-faced sword swung at Li Chun. Before Li Chun could say, "My lord, please forgive me," he was shot in the shoulder and back, and the blood flowed in an instant. Chun couldn't feel much pain, and thought that I was really dead...

Both sides were about to join hands to send Li Chun to hell, but Judge Cui shouted: "Hold on!"
