Chapter 224 - The Question of Compensation
"It's him!"
Seeing Tie Zhu bending down and walking into the reception room, blocking most of the lights, his oppressive figure suddenly made Chu Ge take a deep breath.
That's right, Dongban Tiezhu is the green-robed weirdo who crossed over to the happy community half a year ago - the first immortal cultivator who brought Chu Ge the fear of death.
Although after half a year of cultivation, Chu Ge's strength is comparable to that of an immortal cultivator in the Qi refining period, and if he encounters a similar opponent again, he must not be as powerless as in the past.
But for this enemy who made him feel the strength of the immortal cultivator for the first time, he still had an unforgettable impression.
If it weren't for this, the other party shaved his hair, changed into an orange prison uniform, and shrunk his neck in a proper manner, hunched his waist, hung his hands, bowed to him and Uncle Cao honestly, and said to the guard, "Report to discipline", so that people almost couldn't recognize it.
"Mr. Chu Ge, Mr. Cao Xiaohua, hello, I am Dongman Tiezhu's defense lawyer, Jin Bida." Lawyer Jin flashed out from behind the iron pillar and shook hands with Chu Ge and Uncle Cao.
Or he had already received a notice from the Extraordinary Association, and he was not surprised by the appearance of the promise and the little palace master.
Xu Yu looked at him with interest, and the little palace master looked at the iron pillar curiously.
"Dongban Iron Pillar?" Chu Ge felt weird.
It's hard to imagine that the vicious green-robed weirdos are so ...... A simple and robust name.
He also thought that the other party should be called "Green Robe Ancestor" or something like that as soon as he was born, that would be majestic!
"The Hundred Barbarians have no concept of surnames, they take the tribe as their name, and there are four major barbarians in the southeast, south, and northwest, and the iron pillar comes from the Eastern Barbarian tribe."
Lawyer Jin explained, "His name, in the Baihuang dialect, means 'indestructible optimus pillar', which translates to 'iron pillar'. β
Well, Chu Ge admits that the translation of "Iron Pillar" is quite appropriate, at least more appropriate than "Steel Optimus Prime" or something.
"Lawyer Kim, I know you."
Xu Nuo's eyes lit up, and he interjected, "Do you often help people in divorce lawsuits, some time ago you also helped that star, the one who cheated with anyone, and helped his wife fight a lawsuit, nicknamed ......"
The promise did not go on.
Lawyer Jin smiled slightly, and said proudly: "Nicknamed 'Jin Papi', whoever asks me for a divorce lawsuit, I will definitely help him peel off a layer of skin from the other party, yes, it's me." β
"Great, you're my idol!"
Xu Promise said happily, "I didn't expect that your business scope has been expanded to immortal cultivators?" β
"Immortal cultivators, magicians or other otherworldly creatures, as well as various non-human life forms native to the earth, after opening their spiritual intelligence under the stimulation of aura, will definitely have a lot of conflicts with earthlings, and in law, it is very interesting to give birth to many cases that need arbitration and mediation."
Lawyer Jin said, "Moreover, such clients are often worth a lot of money - even if they don't have money, they have a lot of ancestral antiques, magic weapons and natural treasures, even if the demon pills and beast cores on their bodies are very valuable, isn't it more profitable to help them fight lawsuits than to help celebrities fight divorce lawsuits?" β
"Makes sense, that's what I thought."
Xu Promise smiled and said, "If you have the opportunity, you really want to learn from Lawyer Jin." β
"Of course there is a chance, after a while, I will be invited by the extraordinary association to open a few courses on the legal issues of the otherworldly traverser, if you are interested, you are welcome to exchange your contribution points, I must know everything, say everything, promise classmates."
Lawyer Jin really knew Xu Promise, but he was not ready to waste time, so he changed his conversation and returned to the topic, "I specially invited Mr. Chu and Mr. Cao to come today, it is my client who wants to express sincere repentance to the two of you, and discuss how to compensate you, thank you two for taking time out of their busy schedules, let's start, Tie Zhu?" β
"Yes, yes, I know what is wrong!"
Tie Zhu wiped his face, crocodile tears really flowed from the corners of his cloudy eyes, and said in a strange Mandarin, "I'm sorry for Brother Cao and Little Brother Chu, you said that you patrolled the community in the middle of the night, and you didn't recruit anyone to mess with anyone, and you didn't knock me and touch me, I just crossed over, and I did it for no reason, I really am not a thing!" β
"Wait."
Uncle Cao asked, "That is, you admit that you killed at that time?" β
"This ......" Tie Zhu glanced at Lawyer Jin.
Lawyer Jin did not squint, and intently blew the foam in the teacup, nodding slightly.
"Yes, it's a killing machine, but don't worry, listen to me explain to you slowly, at that time, I'm really an unenlightened beast!"
Tie Zhu slapped his thigh and said, "So that the two of you know that I just crossed over at that time, my eyes were black, and the whole person was groggy, how did I know that I had crossed over to the earth, and I thought I was still in my hometown!"
"Speaking of my hometown's 'Hundred Wilderness', it is really a sin, that is a smoky miasma of poor mountains and bad waters, divided into hundreds of tribes to fight each other, like our four big barbarians in the southeast and northwest are not bad, some small tribes, are really wild people who drink blood, eat people and don't spit out bones!
"I am in the Dongban, but also a little famous leader, under the 100th elite tribe, is a large hunting team, this time is a special trip to hunt the rare beast 'Nine Holes Mandrill', as a result of the fog that covers the sky and the sun, we lost our way, unfortunately fell into a particularly cruel 'mountain ghost' tribe territory, I and most of the brothers were separated, all the brothers around were caught by the mountain ghost tribe, alive peeling skin cramps and take the fire to roast ah!
"I, I have escaped in the mountains and forests for ten days and ten nights, and I still can't escape the pursuit of the mountain ghost tribe.
At this moment, I found a particularly thick fog, there was a crack hidden in the depths of the thick fog, and the mountain ghost tribe was chasing after me, I really had no choice, so I got into the thick fog and ran to the earth in a daze.
"I, I really didn't know at that time, seeing you in strange costumes, and the scenery around you had never been seen, I thought you were also a cannibal tribe like a 'mountain ghost', so I thought about making the first move......"
"Nonsense!"
Chu Ge glared, "Looking for that, you are still justified in defense, rightfully justified?" β
"No, no, no, I am indeed cruel by nature, and my sins are unforgivable, especially sorry for Brother Chu and Brother Cao, I deserve to die, I really deserve a thousand cuts!"
Tie Zhu blushed like a little daughter-in-law, rubbed his hands, and said pitifully, "However, in our hometown, 'Hundred Desolations', it has always been like this, you kill me, I kill you, the weak eat the strong, the fittest survive, no one has ever told me, 'Harmony is precious, you have to forgive people and forgive people', everyone is like a muddy beast."
"No, I was called by Brother Chu last time, first I went to the hospital, and then I came to our third detention center, so many doctors, nurses and corrections, don't dislike me for being a dirty and smelly barbarian, care about me, love me, not only treat my injuries, but also teach me to learn knowledge, culture, law, understand a lot of principles of being a person and doing things, heal the wounds in my brain, make me understand right and wrong, know shame, and have the heart to change my past wrongs.
"In the detention center, a few words that our king often says are reasonable, he said, the immortal cultivation world turns people into ghosts, but the Earth Alliance is to turn ghosts into people again, he also said, confess leniently, resist strictly, punish the former and the latter, cure the sick and save people, and the policy of not giving the way is not the policy of the alliance!
"So, I wondered if I could get the forgiveness of the two of you, and then ......"
Speaking of this, Lawyer Jin coughed lightly.
Tie Zhu scratched his bare head, seemed to remember something, and waved his hand a little awkwardly: "No, no, no, I said something wrong, I don't dare to ask the two of you for forgiveness, I want to kill you, even if you hate me for the rest of your life, and you cut me alive, it should be, I just want to express my heartfelt apologies to you, really, I know from the bottom of my heart that I was wrong, I just want to say 'I'm sorry' to you, so that even if I am shot tomorrow, I am also comfortable!" β
Saying that, he really stood up, and bowed deeply to Chu Ge and Uncle Cao, and his voice was like a bell, word by word, which shook people's eardrums: "I was wrong, I'm sorry, Brother Chu, Brother Cao!" β
The pillar sat back and curled up again.
When it was Lawyer Jin's turn to appear, he looked at Chu Ge and Uncle Cao with a smile: "The situation is like this, the attitude is such an attitude, how is it, are the two of you still satisfied?" β
"Satisfied, satisfied."
Chu Ge scratched his chin lightly and said suspiciously, "That's it, why do I think he seems to be reciting lines?" β
Tiezhu coughed loudly.
"That's not the point, the point is that my client is willing to actively compensate the two victims."
Lawyer Jin threw out two agreements, "As long as you are willing to sign the 'letter of understanding' and express satisfaction with my client's reparation for the crime, you can negotiate any conditions - when my client crossed over, he carried a lot of good things with him, these are his personal belongings, except for the bloodthirsty war knife as a murder weapon, nothing else, will not be confiscated." β
"Yes, I really want to change my past mistakes, and I especially want to be a new person."
Tie Zhu also begged, "How do you two want to compensate, just mention it, I will definitely do itβotherwise, after I get out of prison, how about being a cow and a horse for the two of you?" β
