After I stopped being a lady from a rich family, I fought all over the capital

Chapter 280 Pressure is Put on Judge Cui
As soon as the Four Judges and White Impermanence arrived, they heard Song Lan complaining.

The tone was clearly one of disdain and displeasure: "If we don't bribe them, they won't pay us back?"

The fourth judge almost lost his balance and fell to the ground.

Bai Wuchang remained calm, having anticipated this all along.

He remembered that Pei Yuanshi was someone who followed Song Lan.

Unfortunately, these four simpletons didn't give him a chance to speak and dragged him over without saying a word.

"grown ups!"

Bai Wuchang walked forward with a smile and respectfully bowed to Song Lan.

"I've met my lord."

Upon seeing this, the other four immediately cursed inwardly, "Old Bai is heartless!"
They actually betrayed them!
He must have known all along that Song Lan was waiting here!
They haven't even been told the results yet!
If Bai Wuchang knew what they were thinking, he would definitely sneer.

Tell them?

Did they give him a chance to speak?
It's easy for them to talk when they're not the ones suffering. They don't reflect on their own actions, they just blame others!

Unaware of each other's thoughts, the group moved in unison, all obediently stepping forward to respectfully greet Song Lan.

"I've met my lord."

Song Lan gave a faint "hmm," then suddenly had a wicked thought: "I heard that if you want to invite a few of you up here, you have to give them something in return?"

Fourth judgment:...

White Impermanence: ...

"No, no, that's not true!" Cui Jue was the first to deny it.

Bai Wuchang glanced cautiously at Song Lan's expression, his eyes shifting slightly as he made his decision.

He respectfully raised his hand and reported, "You jest, sir. If you wish to summon us, you only need to say so, and none of us would dare not come."

"That means no matter how busy we are, upon hearing your summons, we will immediately put everything down and rush over as quickly as possible to follow your instructions." "But you should also understand, sir, that our work in the underworld is very busy. We can't all come just because someone calls us, can we?"

"Putting everything else aside, just considering the time wasted, we should at least get some compensation for our hard work."

"This has become a common practice."

After Bai Wuchang finished speaking, he carefully glanced at Song Lan's expression before daring to continue, "Of course, if you feel that this matter is not in accordance with etiquette, then we can waive this procedure later, what do you think?"

"Since it's your established practice, why should I interfere?"

Song Lan smiled faintly: "Wouldn't that be like ruining someone's livelihood?"

Bai Wuchang nodded and said he dared not, but then took the opportunity to back down and didn't mention the matter again.

Skipping over that topic, they asked Song Lan why he had them summoned: "...Does the master have any orders for us?"

"I have restored Su Xianyun's lifespan to its original position."

Song Lan said calmly, "But your underworld's ghost messengers still received orders to come and collect souls. I'd like to ask, why is that?"

"Could it be that you all have different opinions or different solutions regarding this matter of stealing lifespan?"

Bai Wuchang wasn't in charge of this matter, so he turned his head to look at the Four Judges.

Zhong Kui wasn't in charge of this matter, Wei Zheng wasn't in charge of this matter, and Lu Zhidao wasn't in charge of this matter either.

The pressure was put on Cui Jue.

Cui Jue: ...

No, you guys are being a bit unfair!

Are they still good brothers?
Why are you the first one to run away when something happens?!

"I, um, it's him, that, I... ah!"

Cui Jue finally realized the key point.
