Chapter 64: Judgment of Songhe
Chapter 64: Judgment of Songhe
Grand Speaker Shao Zheng looked at the many people on the jury and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
He looked at Dean Xiao and his group beside him and couldn't help feeling helpless.
“I didn’t expect you all to come today!
In the past, even at the Forbidden Spell Society meetings, there have never been so many people present..."
Dean Xiao shook his head.
"This matter involves students from Mingzhu Academy! As the dean, how could I not come forward?
However, today I am only here as the dean of Mingzhu Academy..."
Dean Xiao has no intention of exposing his forbidden spell skills in public, at least not yet.
But even so, the identity of the dean of Mingzhu Academy is enough...
Noticing the gaze from the Grand Speaker, Old Man Bao shook his head.
"Lu Nian has threatened the lives of the hunting ground members and guests, and Song He is aiding and abetting him. Let me take a look..."
Shao Zheng nodded.
As for the remaining Taoist priest, Shao Zheng, as the Grand Speaker, was naturally aware of His existence.
As the master of Luo Chen, one of the victims, it is not surprising that the other party was present in person.
Among the five forbidden spell masters currently present, except for him and the Southern Army Chief, most of them were people that Luo Chen had invited over.
Shao Zheng really didn't expect that the scene would become so big!
However, Song He, as the dean of the Imperial Capital Academy, did such a thing, and it was indeed impossible for the victim's family to sit idly by...
But not all members of the jury are from the forces behind the victim. A considerable number of them also support Songhe.
Before the court session began, the Supreme Court had already begun to stir...
..............................
Two minutes before the trial, the Palace Court
A figure walked into the Forbidden City Pavilion and bowed the moment he saw Songhe!
Song He didn't even raise his head.
"How's the situation over there?"
“Among the aristocratic families, the Mu and Bai families of the four major families in Demon City are willing to compromise, and the Mu family’s attitude is also rather ambiguous, and they are willing to remain neutral.
However, Zhao Manyan is the designated heir, and the Zhao family is unwilling to compromise, and..."
"Besides, the few forbidden spells in the country have all come to an end, right!"
Songhe took a sip of tea and placed the cup on the cupboard.
"Yes, my subordinates are not doing their job well."
"This matter has nothing to do with you. The final result will be decided by the Tribunal..."
..............................
"The court is in session!"
As the chief judge's voice fell, he began to pronounce the verdict:
"Military Commander Lu Nian disobeyed orders and secretly conducted sorcery experiments, causing harm to innocent people and having an extremely bad impact.
The evidence is conclusive and the crime is unforgivable!
According to the law, treason is punishable by death! Any objection?"
"No objection, I accept the trial!"
Lu Nian shook his head.
The Chief Judge then banged the gavel and declared the trial established.
Then, the next member's verdict was announced.
"The Dean of the Imperial Capital Academy - Song He!
Lu Nian accused you of helping to inform him of the student's training schedule. The trial committee has conducted a comprehensive investigation and collected evidence on the above accusation, and it has been basically confirmed!
According to the law, he was convicted of dereliction of duty and should be stripped of his position as dean! Do you have any objection to paying a certain amount of compensation to all victims? "
Songhe had a smile on his face.
"I have no objection either."
"not enough!"
Just as the hammer was about to fall, a clear and powerful voice came from the jury.
The courtroom was already too quiet, and anyone who spoke would be noticed immediately.
Everyone turned their eyes to the person who spoke - an old man in Taoist robes.
The old man slowly stood up, his cloudy eyes gradually became clear, and his vigorous and powerful voice echoed in the courtroom.
“I, the Taoist priest, have been cultivating in the mountains for many years, and I don’t have a deep understanding of the laws of the outside world.
But, I still understand that crimes require imprisonment..."
"I have the same opinion. Dean Songhe is almost the same as an accomplice. This cannot be explained by dereliction of duty."
Old Man Bao also expressed his attitude at this moment! "This matter involves not only the students of the Imperial Capital Academy, but also the students of my Pearl Academy.
I also cannot accept such a verdict!"
Dean Xiao also spoke up immediately.
The presiding judge in charge of the trial nodded, then looked towards Dean Songhe.
Song He looked at the several forbidden spell mages who had directly spoken out against the jury and fell silent...
The mood in my heart has sunk to the bottom!
As an opponent, Song He knew very well that Dean Xiao had reached the level of the legendary Forbidden Spell Mage.
Including Dean Xiao, this also means that the three forbidden spell mages are doomed.
He might really have to pay a price this time.
..............................
a few hours later
After several pulls
The Chief Judge has issued the final judgment!
"In the final trial, Song He informed Lu Nian of his training schedule and was found guilty of being an accomplice and dereliction of duty...
To sum up, he is stripped of his position as president of Songhe Imperial Capital Academy, his position as national service instructor, his political rights for life, and is sentenced to life imprisonment!
The trial is over! "
Songhe was not sentenced to death in the end.
However, this is normal, as Songhe's connections did play a significant role after all.
No matter how you look at it, the crime Songhe committed could not constitute a capital crime.
The fact that he was put in jail was a result of the joint pressure from the three forbidden spell wizards and the solid evidence.
The trial is over!
Leave the courtroom.
Luo Chen saw the familiar figure in Taoist robes outside the courtroom.
"Master!"
The old man in Taoist robe looked at Luo Chen and smiled with satisfaction. Seeing the calm expression on Luo Chen's face, he smiled gently.
"What do you think of this trial?"
"I sit and watch."
Luo Chen spoke calmly.
The old man in Taoist robes chuckled and asked back:
"Aren't you angry about the outcome of this trial?"
"Of course I'm angry, but I know what I should do."
Luo Chen nodded, then spoke seriously.
“I never expected to resolve the deep-rooted Dean Songhe in one go!
What I lack is time, and this trial also gives me time!"
"time?"
"Yes, time! Compared to Songhe, my foundation is still too shallow!
If you didn't have me behind you, Lu Nian would definitely choose to kill me too!
When he is released from prison, I will be able to handle the situation on my own, break through all resistance and kill him completely..."
Luo Chen spoke in front of his master without hiding his murderous intent.
The old man in Taoist robe listened to Luo Chen's words, said nothing, and just shook his head.
"I'm looking forward to the day when you can stand on your own! However, Songhe is not worthy of being your target yet!"
The old man in Taoist robe handed over the talisman, and Luo Chen took it and took a look.
"Don't worry, he will be in prison safely. What happens next has nothing to do with you..."
"understood."
In fact, many things do not need to be explained so clearly. After listening to it, Luo Chen instantly understood what his master meant.
It is obvious that Song He will not live to see his day out of prison. As for what happened behind the scenes, it naturally has nothing to do with him as the victim.
However, his master's degree of protection was much greater than Luo Chen expected...
