Chapter Forty-Eight: The Snow Stops

Bai Xiaoman was taken by Ji Guangwen to the police patrol department for detention.

Many cultivators, as well as heavily guarded troops.

The next day, a public trial will be held in the central square.

The bodies at the bottom of the pool were all collected and waited for relatives to come and claim them.

That night, rumors spread around Yangui City, saying that as long as the relatives were willing to forgive Bai Xiaoman and no longer pursue it, the Bai family was willing to compensate 100,000 silver.

If you insist on pursuing it, you will not pay a penny.

The female corpses at the bottom of the pool are all daughters of poor families.

Poor families can't earn 100,000 silver for several generations.

.….….…

Belfry.

At the beginning of the construction of the city, the wild goose returned to the city and stood in the central square, the years have passed, and the bell tower has also been repaired several times.

The morning bell rang as the star faded.

As the bell rang, the wild goose began to wake up.

As usual, the women got up to wash and get ready to eat.

Today, it's a little different from usual.

Chenshi.

Thousands of people went to the central square of Yangui City to wait for Bai Xiaoman's public trial.

Although Bai Xiaoman's cruelty to the girl had been rumored before, it has now been confirmed, and it has also caused a lot of commotion in Yangui City.

.….….…

The snow was still falling, as light as a feather and as a flying feather.

Fall to the ground, fall on the bell tower.

The bell tower looks like it's wearing a pure white hat.

The sun did not miner because of the snowy days.

The sunlight shines through the snowflakes, reflecting the colorful life.

.….….…

Chen Bai and his entourage also came.

Stand under the bell tower and wait.

Not afraid of snow.

.….….…

Bai Xiaoman was brought out.

Ji Guangwen sat at the bottom of the bell tower, surrounded by the police inspector.

In Ji Guangwen's view, Bai Xiaoman is already a mortal ending.

The addition of a public trial procedure is only to serve as a warning to others.

Ji Guangwen got up and prepared to directly pronounce the verdict on Bai Xiaoman, but before he could speak, he heard a sound from the crowd:

"City Lord Ji, please slow down."

Bai Fengyuan stood up,

"Bai Xiaoman is still young, but he is confused for a while, the Bai family is willing to compensate all family members in terms of money, and also hopes that the city lord will give Xiaoman a chance."

This sentence is mainly addressed to the victim's family.

"Besides, Bai Xiaoman is deeply loved by my father, and now that my father is over the age of six, please also ask the city lord to remember the relationship between their ancestors and grandchildren, and don't let the white-haired people send the black-haired people."

This sentence is to bring out the white interpretation.

Bai Fengyuan was also helpless, but his father was not at home at this time.

If his father is in Yangui City, who would dare to touch Bai Xiaoman with this identity alone.

When Ji Guangwen heard this, he didn't even bother to look at Bai Fengyuan, he was already determined to kill Bai Xiaoman

Set an example.

Again, Ji Guangwen was ready to speak.

Unexpectedly, several family members of the victims suddenly stood up, and then knelt down towards Ji Guangwen and said in unison: "City Lord, we are willing to forgive Bai Xiaoman and not hold him accountable." ”

The crowd erupted.

Some find it incomprehensible.

Some people also think that it should be so, that people cannot be resurrected after death, and that it is good that the living can get a lot of compensation.

When Ji Guangwen heard this, he was like a fish in his throat, and he looked at the kneeling people in amazement.

Those girls who were tortured to death by Bai Xiaoman were their daughters and sisters.

He didn't understand why these people would choose not to be held accountable.

But looking at the clothes of these people, Ji Guangwen felt deeply guilty.

Guilty that his people, in order to survive, had to choose to forget their hatred.

When Bai Xiaoman heard this, he instantly raised his head.

However, he looked at the kneeling crowd, but his eyes were full of disdain and disdain.

In his eyes, the poor cannot be counted as a human being.

At this time, in the crowd, an old man with mottled silver hair suddenly walked out.

The old man was on a single cane, and his face was full of sorrow.

stepped forward, knelt on the ground, cried, and said to Ji Guangwen: "City Lord, my granddaughter was only twelve years old, and she was brutalized by Bai Xiaoman, and I ask the City Lord not to let Bai Xiaoman go." ”

Some people choose to take compensation, and some people choose to pay for the murderer's life.

The rest of the people present were not surprised by this, but the other family members who knelt on the ground at the beginning.

They all turned their heads and looked at the old man viciously, as if the old man was the real murderer.

At this time, among the people who were originally kneeling, a middle-aged man got up and called, "Dad." ”

When the old man heard this, he was stunned at first, and then raised his cane and threw it at the middle-aged man.

"Don't call me Dad, I don't have a son like you, you animal, Fluttershy is only twelve years old."

"You actually plead for the murderer."

The middle-aged man did not fight back, but the old man was already old, and after several swings, he was exhausted and collapsed to the ground.

Tears, streaked across the folds of his face.

Dripping mourning for her granddaughter.

Once she croaked to the ground.

Once she was a toddler.

She used to babble.

She used to be naughty and naughty.

Now, it has become a body that is about to decay.

Seeing this scene, Ji Guangwen was stunned in place, not knowing how to speak.

Compensation to the families of the victims is effective.

Bai Fengyuan mentally pondered whether to raise the price again.

In his opinion, the lives of these people have a price, and if 100,000 silver is not enough, 200,000 silver.

And his son Bai Xiaoman is priceless in his heart.

.….….…

The so-called, public trial of Bai Xiaoman seems to have turned into a farce.

Human lives are put at a price.

There is no need for the murderer to defend himself, and the victim's family has already scrambled to say forgiveness.

.….….…

Is there really something hateful about poor people?

Maybe it's just not putting yourself in their shoes.

After all, a snowfall can freeze people to death, and they can also starve to death.

Chen Bai thought in his heart.

.….….…

"If you don't teach, it's your father's fault."

Chen Bai said.

As soon as the words fell, I saw the blind man suddenly raise his head and "look" in the direction of the Destiny Star.

It was daytime, and the others were unaware.

Chen Bai is the same, he didn't know that just now, the stars flashed.

I only heard Chen Bai continue to speak: "Bai Xiaoman's resistance and compensation are not in conflict. ”

"Bai Xiaoman needs to use his life to make up for the mistakes he made, and at the same time, Bai Fengyuan, as his father, did not educate Bai Xiaoman well, and he should also be responsible for these dozen lives."

When Ji Guangwen heard this, his eyes lit up, and he nodded thoughtfully.

Then he no longer took into account Bai Fengyuan and the family members of the deceased, and directly pronounced the verdict: "Bai Xiaoman's crime is extremely heinous and should be punished." ”

"Bai Fengyuan, raise but not teach, compensate each family member with 100,000 silver."

.….….…

The hand rises, the knife falls, and Bai Xiaoman dies.

Blood splattered.

At the moment when Bai Xiaoman's head hit the ground, the snow stopped.
