Chapter 008 Adjudication Conference (Part I)
Xie Renjie was placed by the temple elders in a wing room on the left side of the hall, which, like the main hall, was made of black stone. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
There was a stone bed in the room, and in front of the bed there was a round stone table, and around the round table stood four stone benches.
There was a window open on one side of the bed, and sunlight came in through the window, illuminating the room.
Other than that, there is no other decoration in the room.
Xie Renjie had always known that the temple was very simple, but he didn't expect it to be so simple.
Xie Renjie took the two twin sisters and sat down on the stone bench, falling into deep thought, looking at the appearance of the temple elder, obviously trying to mediate between him and Zhao Haoran.
He doesn't care, but judging from Zhao Haoran's performance along the way, it is obviously impossible for Zhao Haoran to agree to reconcile.
Therefore, he must be prepared with both hands, in case the mediation is successful, how to guard against Zhao Haoran's secret means, of course he will not be naïve to think that the mediation is successful, Zhao Haoran will really smile and let go of hatred.
If the mediation is unsuccessful, there will usually be a bloody battle and the real chapter in the ring until one person survives and walks out of the ring.
This is so simple and trouble-free, Xie Renjie very much hopes that Zhao Haoran will choose this path, although he has just broken through, but with the experience of 100,000 years in the Creation Jade Disc and his understanding of martial arts, he thinks that he will not be weaker than the second-order perfection of the Martial Saint.
Time passed bit by bit in Xie Renjie's contemplation.
……
"Now that we're here, let's start the adjudication." The Elder of the Temple said, glancing at the people sitting cross-legged in the main temple hall.
"I will preside over the temple judgment this time, do you have no opinion?" The Templar paused and asked softly.
"Elder Fu Zhi, as a member of the Huaxu clan and the second elder of the temple, is highly respected, so he should preside over this adjudication meeting." The Martial Saints who made up the adjudication team immediately replied.
"Okay, let's ask the two parties to talk about the contradictions." Elder Fu Zhi lightly downplayed hatred as a contradiction.
"Ignoring the majesty of the temple, this murderer used force to kill people outside Xianyang City with impunity. I went to persuade him to lay down his arms and surrender, but he drew his sword without saying a word, and if I hadn't reacted quickly, I would have become a ghost under his knife. Zhao Haoran said first.
He never mentioned why Xie Renjie killed people, and it was his grandson who killed him. He knew what kind of virtue his grandson was, if he told his grandson, he was afraid that he would anger all the martial saints in the hall, after all, a mortal, an ant in the eyes of a martial saint dared to insult a martial saint like this, and killing him with a knife was cheap.
He also never mentioned that he wanted to put Xie Renjie to death as soon as he made a move, because he said this now that he was standing on the commanding heights of morality and could win the resonance of the martial saints in the hall.
No one likes someone who breaks the rules, especially if this person is a young martial saint who is many generations younger than them.
Sure enough, the martial saints in the main hall all frowned and looked at Xie Renjie, feeling that this young pro-martial saint was too ignorant, and he thought he was invincible in the world with a little strength.
"I didn't expect the dignified martial saint to be unscrupulous, yes, I killed people at the city gate, but ......"
"Listen, he openly admitted that he killed people at the gate of Xianyang, and this kind of heinous person should be strangled immediately." Zhao Haoran heard Xie Renjie say that he killed people at the gate of the city, and immediately interrupted Xie Renjie's words.
Xie Renjie frowned, he didn't know why Zhao Haoran was so messing around, after all, why did he kill Zhao Jingyi, so many people saw it at the gate of the city at that time, and any person could prove it, but it couldn't stand up to verification at all.
"Haoran Daoyou, please don't interrupt this little friend's statement." Elder Fu Zhi frowned and said, "Little friend, please continue. ”
"I arrived in Xianyang City today......" Xie Renjie told today's events as they were, without any personal feelings.
"Is what Xiaoyou said true?" Elder Fu Zhi asked Zhao Haoran.
"Even if Jingyi is wrong, you can just teach him a lesson, why do you have to kill him?" Zhao Haoran did not answer Fu Zhi's words, but yelled at Xie Renjie angrily.
However, his actions were disguised as an admission that what Xie Renjie said was true.
"Huh! What would you do if this were the case? Xie Renjie did not answer, but asked rhetorically.
"Of course, it is to know it with affection, move it with reason, and teach him to reform himself, after all, people are not sages, who can be without fault? And Jingyi is still very young, and it is also appropriate for relatives to make mistakes. Zhao Haoran replied without thinking.
"Will you teach him to mend his ways? You're going to make him regret coming into this world! And then crush it to ashes! As for saying that young people make mistakes, I'm afraid this person in front of you is younger than your grandson, right? Hearing Zhao Haoran's answer, the martial saint sneered.
They are all people who have lived in Xianyang City for nearly a hundred years, and who still knows whom? As for Zhao Haoran's grandson? Even they have faintly heard of Zhao Jingyi's notoriety, which is still called "a mistake that should be made"?
"Okay, now that the truth of the matter is clear, let's go to the second item of the ruling committee and vote to determine whether there are any people who have committed the most heinous crimes, whether there are people who have forgotten their ancestors and betrayed the Chinese nation, and whether there are people who threaten the safety of the Chinese nation. If you think there is, please raise your hand. Elder Fu Zhi's indifferent voice resounded in the main hall.
Elder Fu Zhi's words also have a certain art, he asked, "Please raise your hand if you think there is something."
Human beings have a kind of inertia and blind obedience, raising a hand is such a simple thing, if no one takes the lead, plus if it is not much benefit to themselves to raise their hand, they will choose a casual attitude, too lazy to raise their hands, even the martial saint is no exception.
And most of them raise their hands, one or two don't raise their hands, it may be inconspicuous, but most of them don't raise their hands, and one or two raise their hands, which will seem very abrupt, this is a very sinner's thing, which of the martial saints present is not an old fox who has lived for more than a hundred years, and if there is not enough benefit, how can they raise their hands indiscriminately.
Furthermore, Elder Fu Zhi asked "please raise your hand if you think there is", not "please raise your hand if you think you don't", which shows that his attitude is that he thinks there is no.
Since there are no guilty men, the temple judgment council moves on to the third item, mediation. There are Taoist friends who want to come forward to mediate, and they can come forward to persuade them on their own. Elder Fu Zhi nodded and said.
There are two sets of rules for the Temple Judgment Conference, the first is to judge the most heinous people, and the second is to mediate the conflict between the martial saints.
The first two steps of the two sets of procedures are similar, but the third is different after the third.
Once it is determined that the person convicted of the crime is indeed heinous, then the third item will discuss how to deal with the martial saint, whether it is exile, imprisonment, or even erasure, and the fourth item will discuss who will carry it out.
And if there are no people who have committed the most crimes, they will enter the persuasion process.
Martial Saint stands at the pinnacle of human beings, that is, to live a face.
Sometimes the two Martial Saints would fight over a trivial matter, but when they found that it was not worth fighting any longer, they couldn't stop it.
Because the two martial saints can't wipe their faces to admit defeat, after all, admitting defeat is like lowering the opponent, which is more uncomfortable than death for the martial saints who cherish face.
Therefore, there were three persuasions in the adjudication meeting, and there were three martial saints with different statuses to persuade the two martial saints who had contradictions, and give them each a step down, so that their faces would not be damaged.
Of course, the martial saint of persuasion will not contribute in vain, and the persuasion is successful, and the two martial saints who have a conflict should owe the persuasion of the martial saint.
"Under Qi Xiangwen, the martial saint of the Qi family, can the two of them give Qi someone a face and shake hands and make peace." The martial saints of the adjudication group glanced at each other, their faces were thin, but Qi Xiangwen, whose eyes were blazing, stood up and persuaded them.
"Humph!" Zhao Haoran snorted coldly, tilted his head, and ignored it at all.
"Thank you seniors for mediation, but some people don't know what to do, and the younger generations have to refuse the kindness of their seniors." Xie Renjie replied to Qi Xiangwen.
Qi Xiangwen was not angry, nodded slightly to the two of them, and sat down.
He also knows that he is a martial saint of a family, and he is still a family that has been established for hundreds of years, compared with the Zhao family's more than 2,000 years of heritage, the background is insufficient, and it is difficult to mediate successfully, after all, Zhao Haoran owes favors to others if the mediation is successful.
