Timo's real name is Yanming, and he was sentenced to two hells, one big and one small, for a total of 98 years.
But for the sake of her timely confession, the two hells commuted her sentence by four years each, for a total of 90 years.
"Lord Ghost Emperor, I am innocent! It was Tao Su who harmed me, you have to make the decision for me!"
Both ghosts were dragged down, Li Tai shouted.
Ji Kang looked at Li Tai, then picked up the book of life and death on the table and looked at it:
"You still have 23 years left in your lifespan, and you are the son and grandson of the prince of Shunyang County."
"How about this, I will give you a chance to choose. One is to stay in the underworld as an errand, and this emperor will give you the job of a city god, and guarantee you at least 500 years of yin life. The second is to let you return to the yang and live a rich life for 23 years .”
A multiple-choice question was presented. For ordinary people, this matter is actually not easy to choose.
Ghosts and ghosts can enjoy long-lasting incense, which is similar to longevity in another sense, but they are also bound by the underworld.
Being a human being in Huanyang is a joy in the world, and you live a happy life, but you only have a lifespan of 23 years, and then you will enter reincarnation.
"I...I want to return to Yang. I want to be a happy prince." Li Tai finally decided.
"That's fine. I respect your opinion." Ji Kang nodded and threw a bamboo stick down.
The bamboo stick did not fall to the ground, but turned into a dim light that enveloped Li Tai's soul and sent him back to his body.
After a while, Li Tai came back again, and now he is a Yang person.
"Thank you, Lord Ghost Emperor!" Li Tai saluted the respectful Ghost Emperor.
"You don't need to thank me, the emperor is just doing things impartially. Your case was investigated by Inspector Sun. If you want to thank him, you can thank him." Ji Kang whispered to Sun Wukong.
"Thank you, Lord Sun, for saving your life!" Li Tai gave Monkey King another bow.
Monkey King stood up and walked over to help him up and said: "You can go back with me in a while. I will take you back if I brought you here."
"Yes, my lord." Li Tai respectfully agreed.
Li Tai's case was settled, Li Tai was sent to the wing to rest, and a ghost sent to help him consolidate his soul.
"Xiaobai. It's time to talk about your business!"
Ji Kang and Zhou Qi switched positions, and it was time to try Bai Wuchang's sabotage of official affairs.
"My lord, this is purely a misunderstanding! This official took over the task of arresting the soul, and went to arrest Li Tai's soul."
"Because I was in a hurry to come back to do business, I ignored the two female ghosts. And I saw that Master Sun was there, and I knew that Master Sun would definitely take care of it, so I came back first."
"Later at the Wangxiang Terrace... the officer was just exchanging martial arts with Mr. Sun, and accidentally dropped the weapon in his hand, and accidentally injured the Wangxiang Terrace."
After Bai Wuchang confessed, he also admitted the crime of accidentally injuring Wangxiangtai.
This guy's little eyes have been wandering about Sun Wukong, hoping that Sun Wukong can say a few words for him.
In fact, Sun Wukong had communicated with Zhou Qi who was sitting on the side in private just now, Bai Wuchang was indeed not from the West, he was just a little tired and didn't want to provoke the West.
"That's right. It's true, as the Envoy of Impermanence said, we were competing at Wangxiang Terrace, and we accidentally hurt Wangxiang Terrace. In fact, the lower officials are also at fault. They shouldn't be competing with Envoy of Impermanence in the place of reincarnation." Monkey King stood up and said respectfully.
"Oh. Since it's a misunderstanding, it's easy to say. I'll fine Bai Wuchang with three years' salary, and inspector Sun...a warning." Zhou Qi said with a smile.
"Yes. The next official accepts the punishment."
Seeing Sun Wukong speak for him, Bai Wuchang felt grateful immediately, and gave him a grateful look.
The two of them didn't have any deep hatred, and the matter was revealed just like that.

Chapter 1190 Yuan and Li Come Together
After all the business affairs were done, Bai Wuchang and Sun Wukong thanked them before bidding farewell to the two ghost emperors and leaving.
It's not a big deal for him to be punished for three years, Bai Wuchang is not short of this salary.
The salary of the Underworld of the Yin Division is composed of two parts, one part is the merit points of heaven, earth, and Taoism, and the other part is the merit points of the Yin Division.
The virtues of heaven are helpful to practice, and the merits of the underworld are the basis for the assessment of the promotion of official ranks in the underworld.
Bai Wuchang has already become the head of the Wuchang Envoy, and it will be difficult to be promoted again. As for the merits of heaven, he has been working as the Impermanent Envoy for so many years, and he is not lacking.
Punishment for three years can be regarded as a small punishment and a big commandment.
Everyone else also left, only Sun Wukong and the two ghost emperors did not leave.
"This time we didn't find out the mastermind behind the scenes. I'm afraid they will notice and act more cautiously and secretly in the future." Ji Kang said in a deep voice.
"It's all my fault for being impatient and not taking this into consideration." Monkey King said a little annoyed.
If he had just collected Li Tai's body at that time, and slowly investigated the rest of the matter in Yangjian, he might be able to find out the people behind the two female ghosts.
"This matter has nothing to do with you, you have done a good job." Zhou Qi said.
Ji Kang patted Monkey King on the shoulder and said:
"Someone wants to use ghosts to do dirty things. In fact, this matter has already been noticed by the Underworld. It is estimated that Mr. Tubo appointed you as the inspector because he wanted you to find evidence and cut off the black hands behind."
In fact, Tu Bo never cared about political affairs. He asked Sun Wukong to stand up to trouble the West.
The relationship between the underworld and the West is much more contradictory than Buddhism and Taoism.
Ji Kang gave Sun Wukong a bamboo stick and said: "After you return to the mortal world this time, you must investigate carefully. If you find any clues, you can directly report to us."
"If you get involved with the West again... then take this opportunity to beat them hard!"
Sun Wukong took the bamboo stick, and he could clearly feel the power of the law of the underworld on it.
With this bamboo stick, he can directly contact Ghost Emperor Jikang from anywhere within the Tang Dynasty.
"I will do my best to find out who is behind the scenes!" Sun Wukong promised.
His purpose is to fight against Buddhism, and this kind of thing is naturally very positive.
After dealing with the affairs of the underworld, Zhou Qi and Ji Kang arranged a banquet to celebrate Monkey King's promotion.
Their official positions are higher than Sun Wukong, but Sun Wukong was appointed by Tu Bo, so they dare not neglect.
Besides, now that Sun Wukong has discovered a major case, they still expect Sun Wukong to find out the Buddhist sect in Yangjian.
Sun Wukong told the two ghost emperors in private about his guess. If it is true that Buddhism is secretly behind the scenes and wants to overthrow the Tang Empire, then this matter will become a big issue.
Once stabbed out, it will be another catastrophe of Buddhism and Taoism fighting.
If they can handle such a big case, then the two of them will be awesome.
Not to mention anything else, just bragging with other ghost emperors is enough to brag for a lifetime.
As for offending Buddhism?
If it doesn't exist, I'll deal with you if I have solid evidence. What can you do to me?
We are working in the underworld, and the rules of Yin and Yang are different. As long as we are in the underworld, they are absolutely safe.
……
After eating and drinking at the Central Ghost Emperor's Mansion, it was already noon the next day.
Sun Wukong bid farewell to the two ghost emperors and took Li Tai out of the central ghost town.
There are ten more altars in his storage space.
In fact, it is wine made from peach blossoms, but the soulless peach blossoms here in the Central Ghost Emperor have a unique and delicious taste, and the wine produced is even more mellow and bitter, with endless aftertaste.
This time, the ghost emperor didn't take the initiative to give him a gift, but this guy made a careful thought to come.
At the banquet, this guy took out the last jar of bamboo leaf green that Zhao Wenhe had made there, and talked about Zhao Wenhe giving him ten jars of wine.
When Ji Kang heard this, Zhao Wenhe gave ten altars of wine, so our central ghost world can't do anything!
Take ten altars!
……
"Master Sun, I really want to thank you this time. Otherwise, my life might really be in danger."
On the way, Li Tai looked grateful.
"You and I are also destined, I think you are a good person, so I am willing to help." Monkey King said with a smile.
"If you, as your prince, forced me to hand over those two ghosts, I really wouldn't have saved you."
"It turned out that you came to talk to me as an ordinary person, which made me look at you with admiration."
After leaving the underworld, Li Tai will lose his memory, and will not remember anything in the underworld.
So Monkey King simply told the truth.
"Ah! I was young and energetic before, and I had the idea of fighting for the country, but I ended up fighting with the prince's brother, and I lost both."
"Since then, I was demoted from Chang'an by my father. When I arrived in Yunxiang, I thought a lot."
"So what if you become the emperor? So what if you have power over the world. Life is only a few decades, so why bother to fight for the position that takes so much effort."
"Born in an emperor's family, I no longer have to worry about making a living, so what can I not be satisfied with?"
Li Tai said it sincerely, it seems that he really took it easy.
Sun Wukong thought carefully to tease Li Tai and said:
"Now that you have seen the power of gods and ghosts, don't you want to dispute the Ninth Five-Year Lord again? With me helping you, it should not be impossible."
Li Tai looked at Sun Wukong, his eyes lit up, and then he returned to normal.
"Oh! Forget it. So what if you really sit on the throne? Live for thousands of years? Hehe! It's not like working on state affairs all day long, thinking of having a little time for yourself is a luxury."
"Yesterday, Lord Ghost Emperor granted me the position of City God, a full 500 years of City God! That can be regarded as aloof, and it can be regarded as immortal. But so what? I have completely looked away, and I don't want to pursue these things. I just want to Be myself, be an ordinary Li Tai!"
After Li Tai said this, he felt extremely comfortable, and his walking became much lighter.
No one noticed that when Li Tai completely let go of his knots, the book of life and death on Jikang's desk shone with a faint light.
Li Tai, 92 years old, no disease, died well!
……
Sun Wukong took Li Tai to the ghost gate, and the central ghost town was not far from the ghost gate.
In fact, the main reason is that the speed is not much faster with a mortal.
Soon Wangxiang Terrace appeared in sight.
"Huh?" Sun Wukong looked at Wangxiang Terrace and was suddenly taken aback.
Immediately afterwards, he frowned, and pulled Li Tai to hide in the weeds by the roadside.
A moment later, a middle-aged Taoist came over from Wangxiang Terrace.
The person was in a hurry, and he didn't notice two people hiding by the side of the road.
Looking at his direction, he was going to the central ghost town.
Sun Wukong and Li Tai didn't come out until they were far away.
Li Tai first recognized the man: "Isn't that Yuan Tiangang?"
"He is Qin Tianjian Yuan Tiangang?" Sun Wukong frowned.
He had never seen Yuan Tiangang before, he was just wondering if a living person had entered the underworld.
Li Tai nodded and said, "That's right, I've seen him a few times. This guy is mysterious, and Father seems to think highly of him."
"Strange...how did he come to the underworld? Is it because of those two ghosts?" Sun Wukong looked at Yuan Tiangang's leaving direction and pondered.
"Huh? Another one?"
Just when he turned around, he was taken aback suddenly, and Lima pulled Li Tai to hide again.
Not long after, another Taoist passed by, about forty years old, with a kind face and kind eyes.
But looking at his sneaky actions, he seemed to be following Yuan Tiangang.
Waiting for the people to go far away, Monkey King went to look at the Wangxiang Terrace first, and after confirming that no one came, he asked Li Tai, "You know this one too?"
Li Tai nodded and said, "Li Chunfeng."
