Chapter XVI: Judgment
The Guardian Ruins are the management center of the Muying Palace stationed in various areas, and it is a huge management body that integrates the government, hospitals, prisons, etc., and they have their own armed forces and are responsible for the security work in each area.
Zuo Yan is the leader of the armed forces guarding the relics in the Pioneer Zone.
At this time, in the spacious trial hall guarding the ruins, Zuo Yan was sitting on the chair in the middle, bowing his head to read Li Qing's confession, and the triangular energy coin was carefully rubbed in his hand.
On the opposite side of Zuo Yan are hundreds of wooden chairs, which are now full of pioneers who have come to watch. Li Qing and Ling Qi sat on two separate chairs in the first row.
The sun rose slowly outside the window, and the crimson daylight penetrated the narrow glass window, shining in the judgment hall.
People were talking about what had happened last night, and a small flame of anger burned in everyone's hearts...
"Hasn't Zou Yuan arrived yet?" Zuo Yan asked the guard next to him.
"Sir Zuo, the people haven't arrived yet, we have already sent someone to arrest them thirty minutes ago." The guard replied.
"Now send another team of people over immediately, and tie him up as well."
"Yes, Chief Zuo, I'll arrange it right away." The guards rushed out to dispatch the team.
Fifteen minutes later, Zou Yuan was escorted to the trial hall by two guards, his hair unkempt and disheveled, his hands firmly tied behind his back.
The crowd of onlookers saw Zou Yuan walking by, and they all accused and cursed him.
The guards who had just been sent out returned to Zuo Yan's side and replied, "Sir Zuo, we have been resisted by Zou Yuan and his men, and one of the guards was wounded. ”
"Who hit it? It will be seized first and sentenced later. Zuo Yan said sternly.
"The beaters and those who resisted have been imprisoned by us."
"Okay." After Zuo Yan finished speaking, he got up and looked coldly at Zou Yuan, who was escorted forward, and the hall was suddenly silent.
"Chief Zuo, why are you arresting me? I didn't do anything? Zou Yuan shouted at Zuoyan.
"If you haven't done anything, why don't you want to come and see me?" Zuo Yan said coldly.
"It's all my brothers, and the guards are also beaten by them, and I stopped them as soon as I found out." Zou Yuan argued.
"With one of my guards to testify, you still dare to lie, Zou Yuan, you are really bold enough!"
"Captain Zuo, our shooting team and your guard team have always had a good relationship, we are all brothers, you have wronged me by saying that."
"What do you mean? The captain of your shooting team even dares to have a relationship with the guarding ruins, I don't think you want to do it! ”
"Don't dare, Captain Zuo, I said something wrong... Wrong ... Zou Yuan lowered his head after speaking, not daring to say a word.
Zuo Yan returned to his chair and scanned the hall, all of the pioneers had angry expressions, waiting for the next trial.
In the end, his gaze fell on Li Qing, and his tone softened slightly, and said, "Li Qing, you tell me in detail what happened yesterday and your accusations. ”
Li Qing got up, stepped forward, and told what happened according to Zuo Yan's request.
。
Finally, when he talked about Zou Yuan's deliberate murder, all the pioneers got up one after another, shouted and cursed Zou Yuan, and some people tried to rush over, but were stopped by the guards, and the scene was very chaotic.
After listening to this, Zou Yuan, who was on the side, hugged Chief Zuo: "Chief Zuo, I am innocent, you can't listen to him, I have no grievances with that little girl, I never thought of killing someone... ”
"Quiet! Be quiet! The guards standing on the side shouted at the crowd, and the voices of the crowd slowly subsided, leaving only Zou Yuan's wailing voice.
"You say you're innocent? I have evidence of your involvement in this incident," after speaking, Zuo Yan took the power stone to the guard in front of Zou Yuan, "I remember that this power stone was a gift you received when you first became the captain of the shooting team, right?" ”
"But that doesn't prove that I did it? I don't even know who Li Che is... Zou Yuan also wants to exonerate himself.
"Shut up, everyone on the scene knows that you and Li Che's brother, Li Qing, had a conflict in Beishan, and the purpose of your design for Li Che is Li Qing!
"I've also read the kidnapping letter you wrote, and I've found someone to confirm the pen, and it's from you.
"Also, I've already investigated, you've been meeting privately with some shooting examiners lately, and your ultimate goal is to prevent Li Qing from participating in this assessment, am I right?"
Zuo Yan's words were convincing, and Zou Yuan was already paralyzed on the ground, with nothing to say.
After Zuo Yan finished speaking, he stood up and said to everyone in the trial hall and Li Qing: "Now, I pronounce the verdict that Zou Yuan has been removed from the position of captain of the shooting team, and he will not be promoted again in the future, and he will be immediately escorted to prison and confined for three months.
"Those who participate in obstructing official business shall be imprisoned for one month; Wounding is punishable by imprisonment for another year. ”
Walking out of the judgment hall, the sun had set, a dim mist wafted through the air, and night was approaching.
The pioneers left in a hurry, and Li Qing was about to go home, but was stopped by Zuo Yan, who stepped forward and said to Li Qing, "Is your sister okay?" ”
"Li Che is fine, but he was frightened."
"Okay, let her rest at home recently, and the ruins will compensate you."
"Thank you, Chief Zuo."
"There is still half a month to go to the assessment, how are you practicing?"
"With Xingyue helping me, everything is fine."
"Okay, if you don't die, there will be a blessing, I'll wait to see how you perform." After Zuo Yan finished speaking, he left with the guards.
When Li Qing and Ling Qi returned home, it was almost dark, and Xingyue was taking care of Li Che at home, and when she saw them coming back, she hurriedly prepared to leave.
"Xingyue, it's so late, you can stay here tonight!" Li Qing said.
"How's that going to work? This room is so small, it's inconvenient. ”
"What's inconvenient?" Li Qing asked blankly.
"You..." Xingyue really wanted to scold him, but was stopped by Ling Qi.
"Sister Xingyue, don't pay attention to him, you sleep in the bed at night, just let him sleep on the floor. Now it's dark, and you can't go back if you want to, so let's do it! Ling Qi pulled Xingyue and said, Xingyue nodded and agreed.
After dinner, Ling Qi and Li Che went to the room to sleep, Li Qing spread the futon on the floor outside, Xing Yue sat next to him, and whispered, "If I don't sleep on the floor, you can sleep on the bed!" ”
"How can this work, how can I, as a man, let a woman sleep on the floor."
"Then what kind of woman am I in your heart?" Xingyue looked at Li Qing and asked faintly.
"Uh... Li Qing didn't dare to answer, he didn't know when Xingyue would make a mistake, and it would be bad to rush out angrily when the time came.
"What are you talking about?" Xingyue urged as she pushed him.
"With so many things going on in a day today, will you let me rest and rest? You go to bed and talk about it tomorrow... After Li Qing finished speaking, he lay on the floor, pulled up the quilt and rolled to the side.
"Okay, let's pick it up tomorrow morning!" After Xingyue finished speaking, she got up and went to sleep. Li Qing's back trembled in the darkness, this woman is really terrifying.
