Chapter 95 Li Boyan

Uncle Li Sheng said, a native of Yishui, was upright and courageous. Suddenly, he fell ill. His family asked for medical medicine. He refused and said, "My disease can be cured by medicine soup. Yin Si lacks Yan Luo, please ask me to represent the case. Don't bury it after death, wait for me to rise again. It's the day of death.

After Li Boyan's death, the soul, led by the ghost pawn, came to a palace, put on the official uniform of Pluto, and began to handle the case. Books piled up on the table, and there was a case like this: someone in Jiangnan, a traitor in his life. ** There are eighty-two women from a good family. The evidence of guilt is conclusive, and she should be branded according to the law. There is a copper column under the hall, eight or nine feet high, one person is thick, and the column is hollow, filled with hot charcoal, and the copper column is red. The group of ghosts whipped the prisoner with iron thistle, ordered him to climb the copper pillar, used his hands and feet, and circled up. When he reached the top, the smoke flew, and collapsed like a firecracker. The prisoner fell to the ground and curled up into a ball. After a long time, he woke up. The group of ghosts continued to whip. The prisoner climbed again and fell to the ground three times in a row. The soul flew away and turned into a wisp. Flying smoke is not a human shape.

Another case: Wang from the same county is Li Boyan's family, and someone accused him of forcibly occupying his daughter as a maidservant. This maidservant was abducted and sold to Wang at a low price. Wang was greedy for cheapness, so he got into a lawsuit. Soon after, he died of a violent illness. After his death, he went to his friend Zhou Sheng. Zhou Sheng knew that Wang was a ghost. He avoided the study and asked, "What do you want to do?" Wang said, "Brother Zhou, please go with me to Yin Cao and prove my innocence." Zhou Sheng asked, "What's the matter?" Wang said, "The maidservant in my house was obviously bought. You have seen this matter with your own eyes. At present, I have been falsely accused. Please ask Brother Zhou to defend me and say something fair." Zhou Sheng shook his head and said, "Yin Cao Difu, how can we go down? If you go down, you will die. Forgive me, I can't help you. Wang said, "I'm afraid you can't make the decision now." Not long after, Zhou Sheng really died, and the two came to the Yin Division together for interrogation.

As soon as Li Boyan saw Wang, he was partial. Suddenly, he felt that there was a fire in the hall, and the flames were burning. Li Boyan was shocked and stood up in horror. The left and right officials said, "The underworld is not as good as the world. One thought can't tolerate selfishness. You just need to handle the case impartially and the flame will go out." Li Boyen nodded, restrained his distracting thoughts, and the flames went out. Picking up the paper to check, Wang and the plaintiff held their own words and argued endlessly. They asked Zhou Sheng, and Zhou Sheng told the truth.

Li Boyan made clear the context of the dragon and issued a judgment: Wang was greedy for small profits. Knowing that he committed the crime, he was sentenced to fudgery. After the execution, he was allowed to be resurrected. The rest were acquitted and sent back to Yang. Three days later, Wang and Zhou woke up from life and death.

After dealing with the case, Li Boyen left by car. On the way, I saw hundreds of broken-headed and broken-legged ghosts crying on the ground. Parking and inquiring, they were all ghosts from a foreign country. Because they missed their hometown, they were worried about the barrier and asked to let them go. Li Boyan said, "I have been regent for three days, and I am dismissed at the end of the term. There is nothing I can do. How can I help?" The ghosts said, "Hu Sheng from Nancun will build a Taoist temple, and then it will be done." Li Boyan sighed and agreed. When he returned home, he recovered.

Hu Sheng's character is Shui Xin, and he has a good relationship with Li Boyan. When he heard of Li's rebirth, he came to visit him. Li Boyen asked, "When will the water and land field be held?" Hu Sheng was surprised and said, "This matter was only discussed with his wife in private, and it was not mentioned to outsiders. How did you know?" Li Boyan told the truth. Hu Sheng sighed, "There are gods when you raise your head three feet. It's really terrible that the whispers in the boudoir will spread into the underworld. Don't worry, if you believe what you say, you will go back to build a dojo and surpass the souls of the dead. Say goodbye and leave.

The next day, Li Boyan went to the royal palace to visit his in-laws. Wang was still sleeping in bed. When he saw Li, he was in awe and respectful. He thanked him for his blessing. Li Boyan said, "The law can't be selfish. Is your condition better?" Wang said, "It's much better. It's just that there are some pus and sores in the place where I was beaten." It took more than 20 days for Wang to recover from his buttocks. The meat rots, leaving several scars, shaped like wooden sticks.
