Chapter 50: Victory
After saying this, Mu Yan changed his previous domineering attitude and bowed slightly to the public seat.
There is no lack of pleading in this action.
It is true that a slap can wake up others, but if it is too hard and hurts self-esteem, it is too late to say anything, not to mention that the hearing is not over yet.
He sat next to Dririch, the assistant's seat, not his place. The latter was overwhelmed with emotion, and cast a grateful glance at Mu Yan.
At this time, there was a sparse applause from the public room, but then it became louder and louder, and finally it became a thunderous applause.
"Silence, silence!!"
Hans had to borrow amplification to maintain order, and he hated the applause, which made him think things weren't good.
This feeling was especially strong when Barry cast him an inquiring and questioning look.
When the room was quiet again, he cleared his throat, reread the verdict, and then looked at Barry.
"If the vote is passed and Barry accepts the result, then the matter is over. If the vote is not passed, then the matter can also be closed after the two sides settle. β
It stands to reason that he shouldn't be so verbose, but the current situation doesn't mean that he doesn't talk too much.
According to Barry's original intention, if the ruling passed the vote, he would inevitably choose not to accept it and let the two drag on like this. At the weekly hearing, the first to collapse is inevitably Dridge. In order to survive, the latter will also beg him to spare himself in private, which is what he wants to see.
But that was based on the premise of a vote.
Hans knew very well that according to the current situation, the vote would not pass, and according to Barry's character, there would certainly be no reconciliation.
But who can guarantee that Dridge will be as depressed as he is today in a week's time? Who can guarantee that the hearing in a week will be as smooth as it is todayβI mean before Mu Yan interrupted.
He knew very well that the actions behind Barry's group were all dirty things that could not be put on the table, not to mention that this group of brainless nobles was still proud of it, and their style of acting was uninhibited, leaving countless handles. If Dridge had been given a week to gather evidence and then come out, the hearing committee would not have been able to rule that Barry was an innocent victim, unless they didn't want to mess around with Jialan.
When things get to that point, Principal William will definitely intervene, and this old guy's intervention means that the truth is on the surface, and who will dare to make small moves at that time?
Although he is taking money to do things, he can do his best, and he shouldn't worry so much, but he also has to think about his own horse chest-clover trading house-such as the thick leg of the Perez family, so he can't help but remind him, hoping that the person in front of him can temporarily put aside the contradiction and think about it in the long run.
However, Barry clearly didn't understand what Hans meant, or he didn't want to. It was only Hans's words that finally woke him up from his panic.
The nobleman, who was taller than an orc, finally remembered his identity and his usual prestige, and he stood up, his grim gaze swept across the public gallery, although he looked up, but in the eyes of the audience, the meaning of the warning was self-evident.
The prestige of the wicked has always been more effective than the law, and the original noise suddenly weakened.
Barry grinned.
Waste is always waste. He thought disdainfully to himself.
Seeing this, Hans lifted his glasses.
"Now, then, the vote will begin."
The first is the Hearing Committee. Only 4 of the 20 people were moved by Mu Yan's words and chose to remain silent, while the others raised their hands in agreement.
"The committee agrees with the verdict - does Mr. Mu Yan need to verify the number of people?" Hans asked with a smile.
Mu Yan smiled and shook his head, unmoved by his ridicule.
Then there are the public galleries.
If there is no dissenting majority in the public gallery, then Dridge will lose.
Whether it is for him or for Mu Yan, this is not just a matter of winning or losing the verdict.
"Then ......" Hans glanced at Mu Yan and sneered in his heart. If you do not agree with the ruling, please stand up. β
Treacherous guy!
Mu Yan scolded in his heart.
Although he didn't go to school, he had heard this joke. That is, when the teachers of the school buy tutoring materials for students, most of them will say this, "Students who don't want to buy raise their hands".
It seems that it is just a different perspective, but the actual result is often completely different. The first person to eat a crab always has to pay a lot of courage, and the decision is often made in a split second.
Sure enough, there was silence in the venue.
Many students, you look at me, I look at you, but no one dares to stand up. Although there was a fire in their hearts, it was not enough to melt the solemn atmosphere of the venue like ice.
Barry, who was sitting in his chair, looked around with a contemptuous smile.
Although he didn't know why, none of the nobles he knew showed up today, but the result was still the same as always, and the untouchables were as stupid as ever.
Many students clenched their fists and bowed their heads in shame.
Mu Yan also sighed in his heart, he knew that at this time, what was missing was just a leader.
However, when it comes to this, if Jialan doesn't even lack this kind of person, then there is no value in saving, he will return to the Morning Star with the crystal underground, or go to the Turing Empire to seek salvation.
There is no doubt that it will be a more difficult road, but it is also better than Jialan seeing no hope like this.
The mire can only be cleaned by a spontaneous spring of clear water, and external forces are useless.
At this moment, in the silence, a strange sigh suddenly sounded.
Deres stood up, a helpless expression on his face.
Oh, that kid who has always been low-key and likes to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger......
Mu Yan looked at him, and the eyes of the two met in the air, each smiling.
"I'm against it." Deres said lazily, he originally just wanted to be a follower who fished in troubled waters, but no one dared to stand up after waiting for a long time.
Immediately afterward, he stood up diagonally behind him.
"I, I'm against it too!"
It was a chubby boy, with his head down, his face flushed, and even his voice stammered a little.
But this did not detract from the bravery he showed at this time.
With the second, there is naturally a third and fourth......
"I'm against it!"
"Against."
"Against, against!"
More and more students stood up, like sparks that ignited the momentum of the prairie fire.
Soon, there were 499 people in the public gallery, and all of them stood up.
It has been so long since the Jialan Academy hearing system was launched, and it is the first time that it has been so uniform!
Hans blushed, he hadn't expected this at all.
"It looks like the public will object to the verdict - does Mr. Hans need to check the number?" Mu Yan also asked with interest.
"No need." Hans had a cold face, "According to the academy's statutes, the committee and the public will have different opinions on the verdict, and this incident will either be postponed or the two sides will be reconciled, then ......"
Before he could finish his sentence, he saw Barry kick his chair away and leave in a rage.
If it is delayed, the formalities will be handed over, and leaving the table early is naturally equivalent to agreeing to a settlement.
Hans was relieved, this guy was quite sensible......
"So...... The hearing is over, Classmate Derridge, not guilty. β
Everyone present breathed a sigh of relief, especially Dreridge, who collapsed in his seat.
Mu Yan turned around at this time and said to the crowd: "Why are you stunned, shouldn't you cheer?" β
Everyone was stunned slightly, and then reacted instantly, and the venue suddenly erupted in enthusiastic cheers, those wearing hats threw hats, those who tied scarves threw scarves, and those who had nothing to throw ran to the front, stretching out their claws to Dridge who didn't know the truth.
"Dririch!"
"Hero!"
"Dririch!"
"Victory!"
They chanted Dridge's name, and the voice came from the window and drifted into the sky overhead, resounding throughout Jialan.
-------------------------
In the evening, Mu Yan received a call from Professor Daun, and he felt a little uncomfortable.
After arriving at the cottage, Principal William was indeed there, and his expression was not good.
"Headmaster."
Mu Yan sat down in a proper manner.
"You're going to give me a problem as soon as you come," William couldn't help but lecture him, "It took me more than ten years to appease that group of old nobles who had a lot of problems. β
Mu Yan stuck out his tongue, he understood what the principal meant.
In addition to the slave girl competition, the aristocracy led by Barry and Samuel, or their predecessors, actually had many ways to get pleasure from the commoners, which was even worse in nature. And this kind of thing has always been willing, and the school can't say anything about the loophole. In order to restrain them, Principal William must have bargained with the parents of this group of minor nobles, so as to minimize the harm.
In other words, Barry and Samuel's behavior was within the permissible scope of the school, and according to the agreement between the two parties, the school should not have taken care of it, but because of Mu Yan's intervention, Barry was slapped in the face, making the school a person who went back on his word......
It's no wonder that Principal William said he was hard to do.
"That'...... How did the principal solve the problem? Mu Yan couldn't help but ask.
"What else can be done? I gave Barry and Samuel a hefty punishment, as well as a hefty fine. William said lightly. They also agreed, thanks to you, the college has more money. β
"Huh? It's all benefits? Mu Yan exclaimed, "How can you talk so well......
He suddenly realized something, and glanced at Professor Daun, who had remained silent.
"Do you mean ......?"
"You're smart." William sighed, "It was Professor Dawn who stepped in to help me. β
"I don't know how many times I can use my face." Dawn smiled, "Before I bring it into the coffin, I can use it once." β
Mu Yan was silent, and his heart was very uncomfortable.
Professor Dawn comes from the Garcia family, one of the councils of six, and the nobles of Kalan, who respect him not because of his status, but simply because of his profound knowledge.
This visceral respect was pure, and even like Barry and Samuel behaved in front of Professor Dawn, even if the elders didn't ask them to do so.
However, this comes at a price. Professor Daun has always been a pure scholar, far from strife and whirlpools, which is why he has such a unique purity. And as you get too involved, you will slowly lose these respects.
Professor Dawn seemed to have guessed Mu Yan's thoughts, patted him on the shoulder, and comforted him gently, "Don't worry, kid. Go ahead and do it, at least when I'm as young as you, I don't have the courage and courage to do it. β
