Chapter 177 The judge answers questions
A long time ago, there was a man named Xie Pengfei in Hangzhou, Zhejiang. He was a linsheng (a student provided by the government with meals) in Renhe (now the main urban area of Hangzhou, Zhejiang).
He also has a special identity, that is, the judge of the underworld.
Xie Pengfei was no different from ordinary people during the day, but at night, he went to the underworld to handle business in the underworld.
After his relatives and friends learned about his identity, they all came to ask him to help check their life span.
Xie Pengfei refused them all.
Everyone suspected that he refused to help because he was afraid of leaking the secret.
Xie Pengfei said: "It's not because of this! In the government offices of the Yang world, only those who have committed crimes and are involved in lawsuits have official documents that can be viewed.
Otherwise, there are too many trivial matters among common people. Who has the skills to record them all in official documents?
The government just left them to fend for themselves. The same is true for Yinsi.
You have committed no crime and are not involved in litigation, and the underworld will not arrest you without any reason.
Please relax your mind and take it calmly. When the Qi comes, you will live; when the Qi runs out, you will die.
It’s not that I don’t want to help you, or that I’m afraid of leaking information to Tianji, it’s really because I don’t have any documents to verify! "
Everyone suddenly realized.
Someone else asked: "So, are there any documents that can be traced for those who died due to the plague?"
Xie Pengfei said: "There are nine hundred and sixty kinds of yin and yang minor tribulations in the human world, and this plague is one of them. People who have committed this catastrophe and died are just like the prefectural and county examinations, with a roster of names, which can happen to be found.
However, these are ordinary people who are mediocre and do nothing to be included in this roster.
If they are those with a history, they will not come and go in such a small calamity, just like those in the world of officials who have official shadows (officials in the old days, if they have made contributions to the country or died in the line of duty, they will have shadows for their descendants). Officials, called Guanyin.)’s children can become officials without taking the Tongsheng exam! "
Another person asked: "The plague is a small disaster, but besides this, are there any major disasters?"
Xie Pengfei said: "Of course! Floods, fires, sword disasters, military disasters, these are all great disasters! If you commit these, even a wealthy and prominent person will have a hard time escaping!"
Some people asked curiously: "Which god in the Underworld is the most noble?"
Xie Pengfei replied: "Since we are all ghosts in the Underworld, what are the noble ones? Those noble ones are the immortal officials of the upper world!
Positions such as City God and Land God are like small officials like magistrates and county magistrates in the human world. They travel around in the dust. They are very hard work and worthy people disdain to do them.
There once was a Shiraishi Immortal (a figure in myths and legends. He got his name because he lived in the Baishi Mountain and often cooked Baishi for food). He would rather cook Baishi all day long than go to heaven to become an immortal. official.
Someone asked him why, and he replied: 'The rules and regulations of Tianting Yuyu are too strict, and the affairs are very complicated. Those who serve as immortal officials to deal with affairs are very hard. So I would rather be free in the mountains and rivers of the next session and be a Sanxian forever! ‘
Do you understand? Ming Si and the previous term, what is dignity? It depends on everyone’s own opinion! This is what Shiraishi Sennin said and did! "
