Chapter 48: Judgment (II)
In Banshan Manor, Yu Qian slammed the mobile phone against the wall, the customized smartphone was of good quality, coupled with the protection of the outer phone case, it fell to the ground after hitting the wall, but it was not damaged at all. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Yu Qian stared at the mobile phone on the ground, and suddenly the fuselage twisted and bent, turning into a piece of scrap metal.
Sun Yiming, the housekeeper of Banshan Manor, stood aside, silent, he hadn't seen Speaker Yu on fire for a long time. Sun Yiming was originally just a little-known small character, a talker in a small independent settlement in Yuanjiang, majestic in the eyes of ordinary people, but he was only a low-level small person among the awakened. This identity was not changed until the decisive battle of the Xinyuan Jiangnan City Gate, after the speaker was stunned and fell unconscious, Sun Yiming was the first to rush out, desperately resisting the corpse tide, and escorted the speaker Yu out of the danger zone with the rest of the awakened people.
These awakened people later became Yu Qian's cronies, whether they wanted to or not, in the eyes of others, they had been deeply branded as the speaker. And Sun Yiming has become Yu Qian's manor steward, who does not seem to hold real power, but in fact he is the Son of Heaven in front of him, the center of power, and the confidant who is most trusted by Yu Qian.
Yu Qian looked at a piece of scrap metal on the ground, and suddenly felt a little funny, why was he so angry when he had an argument with Yang Xiaoqian? The speaker of the council of the dignified fire bearer smashed his mobile phone like a child, and it would be ridiculous and generous if outsiders saw it.
Clearing his throat, Yu Qian called, "Sun Yiming." ”
"Speaker." Sun Yiming bowed his head and stepped forward, waiting for Yu Qian's command.
"Has the trial team arrived?" Yu Qian asked.
The Flame Bearers Council has just enacted the Awakened Act, and the entire Flame Bearers Council cannot find awakened people who have worked in the legal profession, so they can only temporarily vacate the position of adjudicating judges, and the trial team elected by the entire council will try the awakened who have committed crimes in the Awakened court.
There are a total of seven members of the trial team, and they cannot leave the court of the awakened for the rest of their lives after being elected, which means that they will not enter the inner house, the outer house, the president's cabinet or other departments in the future, so they don't have to give face to anyone, and after all the awakened truly achieve judicial independence, they will have supreme authority.
Sun Yiming looked at his watch, pressed the Bluetooth headset and asked a few more words, and after hearing the reply, his expression perked up, and he replied: "Speaker, the seven judges of the trial team have arrived, and they are just outside the door." ”
"Let them come in at once." Yu Qian waved his hand impatiently, not wanting to waste even a minute or a second of his time.
"Yes."
Sun Yiming held down the earphones and said a word, and the gate of Banshan Manor immediately opened. Four Land Cruisers opened the way with flashing lights, escorting two Toyota Coasters into Banshan Manor. The seven judges representing the Court of the Awakened hurriedly got out of the car, and when they arrived in the reception room, they saw Yu Qian who had been waiting for a long time.
"Your Excellency, Speaker." The seven judges nodded to Yu Qian, and their attitudes were neither humble nor arrogant.
Yu Qian raised his hand and said, "There is not much time, let's ignore the red tape, skip the unnecessary procedures, and start the trial directly." ”
After the seven judges made eye contact with each other, the judge standing in the middle stepped forward and said, "We have already learned the general situation on the road, but ...... Speaker, the criminals are not there, how do we hold the trial? ”
Yu Qian had already expected the judge's response, and immediately spoke: "The council has given you a sacred duty and mission, and you must dare to take responsibility when necessary. If you dare not act and leave the trial to the secular judiciary, do you not feel ashamed of the court, of the parliament, of the oath you have taken! ”
The seven judges looked at each other, not knowing how to answer, and Yu Qian didn't give them time to think, and continued to say loudly: "According to the supplementary regulations of the special law, the Awakened Court has the right to try a criminal while he is on the run, and the parliament will send a fugitive pursuit team to punish the criminal according to the judgment of the court. Now there is an awakened fugitive named Cao Xin in Nandu, who raped and killed an innocent girl, and the crime is extremely heinous, and I, as the speaker of the parliament, order the seven of you to immediately represent the court and pronounce a verdict on his guilt! ”
Yu Qian expressed his meaning very clearly: Cao Xin is in the hands of the secular judicial organs, not in the hands of the parliament, so he will be regarded as a fugitive, and his criminal responsibility will be pronounced according to the supplementary regulations, and then the parliament will directly take action, so that Cao Xin has never been investigated and tried by the secular judicial organs.
Through this incident, Yu Qian wants to announce to all the awakened and to the world: Any awakened person will be above the world, and the affairs of the awakened can only be managed by the awakened person!
Although the Awakened Court should maintain judicial independence, that is a matter for the future after all, and now the entire court is composed of these seven judges, and it does not have the power to compete with the Speaker's Chamber at all. Besides, this is to eliminate harm for the people, and it does not violate conscience, so the judges did not object.
Thus, the first trial of the Court of the Awoken began.
After completing the necessary procedures in two minutes, the seven arms were raised high, and the trial team unanimously ruled that Cao Xin, the awakened one, was guilty!
"According to article 7 of the Awakened Act, whoever violently deprives another person of his life without being violated shall be guilty of intentional homicide and shall be sentenced to imprisonment for a term of not less than 20 years in less serious circumstances and life imprisonment in serious cases. In response to this case, I recommend sentencing: death penalty! The judge who had spoken to Yu Qian before was holding the Awakened Bill, and a cluster of gilded flames shone brightly on the pitch-black cover.
According to the original intention of the framers of the bill, no matter what crime the awakened committed, the death penalty will not be imposed unless they betray parliament or commit crimes against humanity, because each awakened person is a valuable resource that may play an unexpected role in the face of a crisis in the future.
But this time, Speaker Yu's hint was obvious: since he couldn't snatch the person into his hands, he should simply let him die outside, and he must not be allowed to live to be tried by the state's rule of law organs, so the nimble-minded judge proposed that the punishment be put to death.
Although the judges are not divided into camps, they also have their own ideas and ideas, and different people look at the same issue from different angles, and the results will be completely different.
"I disagree. Cao Xin's crime is not to death, I suggest that the sentence be carried out in accordance with the Awakened Act, and considering the seriousness of Cao Xin's crime, I recommend sentencing: life imprisonment. One of the judges immediately voted against.
"I agree that we must set an example and play a deterrent role to completely eliminate the possibility of similar cases happening again!"
"Seconded."
"I'm against it."
"I'm against it."
With three votes in favor and three votes against, Yu Qian narrowed his eyes and looked at the last judge who did not express his position.
In order to avoid an endless stalemate in the verdict, the judges cannot abstain from sentencing, and a draw is unlikely among the votes of the seven judges.
The last man's hand trembled and raised, he knew that his fluttering move was likely to cause a series of major events with far-reaching consequences, and perhaps his name would be mentioned in the history books of later generations.
"I ...... I agree ......"
"According to the verdict announced by the court's trial team, the awakened Cao Xin is sentenced to death and executed immediately!"
Before the words fell, Yu Qian's figure had disappeared.
