After my grandmother called me home in my dream, my spiritual energy revived

Chapter 124 Joint Complaint
All the ghost guests at the banquet turned their eyes to the shopkeeper Liang who was sitting at the main seat.

They came here today not to have fun, but to care about the things mentioned in the invitation.

Liang Fuyi did not beat around the bush and said directly:

"I don't need to say much about how business is going in your store, right?
We are all old people who have run a paper-making shop in Yinshui Lane for more than three hundred years. We all know the rules of the underworld.

The price range for ghost necessities such as paper-made incense and candles is determined by the Underworld Merchants Bureau. Everyone can only make money by competing on the quality of the paper-made items and their business acumen.

But now, there is a large group of ghosts selling paper products in Yinshui Lane every day. The prices are so low that we can't even make back the cost, which has dealt a heavy blow to our business.

I sent people to investigate the origins of those paper products for a long time, and a few days ago I finally got reliable information: those things all came from the world of the living!"

This news seemed to surprise the ghost shopkeepers at the table.

"The living world? Is there someone alive interfering?"

"No wonder those ghost vendors I see don't look like old ghosts in their clothing, speech, or behavior! Did someone from the mortal world contact them and provide them with paper products? How could this person be so bold? Isn't he afraid of being recorded in the Book of Life and Death?"

"I had long anticipated that the revival of spiritual energy in the Yang world would have an impact on the Netherworld, but I didn't expect it to come true so soon."

"What can we do? We've been dead for so many years now, and no one in the living world will pay tribute to us. The connection between the Yin house and the living world has long been severed. How can we cross the boundary and solve this problem?"

"Now that the boundary between Yin and Yang is so clear, ghost messengers no longer go to the mortal world. When the gates of hell open, only ghosts with relatives in the mortal world can return. We can either hire other ghosts to solve this matter, or we can only file a complaint with the government office!"

"Of course we have to file a complaint with the government! This is maliciously disrupting the underworld market and has ruined our shop. How can a person from the living world care about paper-made figurines in the underworld for the rest of his life?"

"Yes! Report it to the government office! The living world has been devoid of spiritual energy for too long, and they don't even know how to fear death! Although ghosts like us are nothing, the rules of the underworld cannot be broken!"

……

As the ghosts were filled with righteous indignation, Liang Fuyi looked at Song Miaozhu, who was sitting just below her. "What do you think, Shopkeeper Song? Your shop has connections in the mortal realm, so you're probably the most well-informed among us. Do you have any different opinions?"

Song Miaozhu had no intention of helping the Spiritual Adjustment Bureau out of trouble. Her shop was the main target of the Spiritual Adjustment Bureau's price war.

If she didn't have the strong skills, she would have been seriously affected.

Moreover, she had already reminded them through the Lingcheng Spiritual Adjustment Group, and more than once.

At this moment, Song Miaozhu directly stood in the position of the owner of Anshoutang and said:
"I do know some inside information. Those items were provided by the Spiritual Adjustment Bureau, an official organization of cultivators in the mortal realm. Those ghosts are also spies planted by the Spiritual Adjustment Bureau in the underworld. The low-priced paper products are distributed to those ghosts as organizational benefits. The difference in price is a reward for those ghosts.

The revival of spiritual energy in the world of the living is related to handicraft skills, including paper-making skills. In the future, a large number of handicraftsmen, including paper-making craftsmen, will emerge in the world of the living.

With the influence of the Spirit Adjustment Bureau in the human world, they are able to provide low-priced paper products to the ghost members in the underworld for a long time."

They all know what the consequences will be if low-priced paper products are sold in the underworld for a long time.

The news of the revival of spiritual energy has been circulating for so long that those who wanted to give it a try have already sold their properties and worked hard to find a good life.

These people are still here because they don't want to get involved in the ups and downs of the world of the living. They just want to guard their property and live a good life in the underworld.

But now, the practitioners in the world of the living have extended their hands to the underworld, taking advantage of the difference between yin and yang to steal their business.

This is completely different from the items unique to the human world that Anshoutang resells.

"How ridiculous! If this happens, won't we all be crushed to the point where we have no place to live?"

"This Spiritual Adjustment Bureau is actually openly sending ghost spies into the underworld, challenging the authority of the underworld. If we don't report it to the government office, they think we in the underworld really can't do anything to them!" "Yes! Report it to the government office!"

……

Liang Fuyi pondered for a moment and agreed with the others' decision:
"It seems that the best way is to report this matter to the government office and let the government handle it.

According to Shopkeeper Song, practitioners in the world of the living colluded with ghosts in the underworld, spied on the situation in the underworld, and disrupted the market for paper-made products in the underworld. This was already enough to constitute the crime of disturbing yin and yang!

Yiqiu, please help us draft a joint complaint!"

"According to what you have said, it would be best to write two complaints. One to the Fengdu government office, accusing the practitioners on earth of colluding with the ghosts in the underworld to spy on the underworld and plot evil. The other to the Underworld Merchants Bureau, accusing the practitioners on earth of colluding with the ghosts in the underworld to maliciously disrupt the paper-made goods market."

A female ghost who was sitting downstream from Liang Fuyi and on both sides of the stream with Song Miaozhu answered.

Youlong introduced her identity. She was a famous lawyer that Liang Fuyi found from Sanchixiang.

Although every move of Fengdu ghosts will be recorded, it is recorded in the Book of Life and Death.

The ghost messengers in the government office would often check for any abnormalities, but the information was too complex and omissions were inevitable if they did not check specifically.

At this time, the ghost needs to ask a lawyer to submit a complaint to the Fengdu government office.

After the government office receives the complaint, it will handle it more quickly.

If the report is confirmed to be true, the government will not only punish the offending ghost, but also reward the complainant and the lawyer.

This reward is usually very generous.

Therefore, hiring a lawyer in the underworld is free if the accusation is true.

Lawyers are civilians who help the Fengdu government maintain public security. They are familiar with the laws of the underworld and are well aware of the government's case-handling style.

Shen Yiqiu is one of the four famous lawyers in Sanchixiang.

Liang Fuyi invited her in advance, probably because he had anticipated that this matter involved the mortal world, which would be difficult for them to handle and would need to be resolved by the Fengdu government.

"Just do as you say!" Liang Fuyi said.

The ghost servant beside Shen Yiqiu handed her the pen, ink and paper that had been prepared long ago, and she began to write.

The two complaints were quickly written and presented to Liang Fuyi by the ghost servant.

After reading it carefully, she took out her shop owner credentials and stamped the complaint with the shop owner's seal that best represented her identity as a shop owner.

The complaint was then presented to Song Miaozhu.

I just said a few simple words. What is written in the complaint is much more formal and organized, and it also notes which law of the underworld is being referenced.

The situation is presented clearly and logically, but some of the words used are a little subtle.

For example, she had previously said that those ghosts were spies planted in the underworld by the Spiritual Adjustment Bureau. In the complaint, Shen Yiqiu wrote that the Spiritual Adjustment Bureau had planted ghost spies in the underworld, most likely to spy on the secrets of the underworld.
