Chapter 590 Trial!
Residents of the Holy Soul Village and other villages, as well as some soul masters who came because of its reputation, gathered together in the open space outside the Hope Primary School.
In the center of the open space, a young man was pinned to the ground by two strong men from the Holy Soul Village, his eyes full of dissatisfaction.
In front of the gate of Hope Primary School, a temporary village court was set up with three long tables and chairs. Zhou Qing was the presiding judge, Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Romantina were the judges and clerks, and Old Jack was the representative of the villagers of Holy Soul Village. They jointly tried the case in public.
As for cases in rural areas, city officials generally do not intervene unless there is a large-scale fight or a serious incident such as a massacre of a whole village.
Therefore, it is entirely up to the villagers to solve the problem themselves.
"That's—Lu Yixin!?" Hu Liena pushed through the crowd and saw the captured person. Her pupils dilated more than ten times.
In her memory, Lu Yixin was one of the team members representing Spirit Hall this time!
However, after the end of this Continental Elite Competition, none of the seven members of the Spirit Hall team returned to Spirit City. Hu Liena did not dare to ask Bibi Dong directly, but she wanted to ask other cardinals privately, but they all kept silent.
"The Pope once told us that if we encounter members of the Spirit Hall team, no matter what happens, we should not care." Xie Yue said in a low voice, "Perhaps, these seven people betrayed the Spirit Hall!"
Yan sneered: "That's good now. The Spirit Hall has lost all its face because of this bastard! We can only be thankful that not many people here know that he is from the Spirit Hall."
At this time, Lu Yixin was in a very miserable state, with a bruised nose and face, his upper body clothes torn, his skin blue and purple, his dantian shattered, and all his soul power dissipated.
recover?
It is indeed recoverable.
But every time Lu Yixin recovered, Tang San was responsible for destroying it. The pain of his shattered dantian made him dare not recover in front of Tang San.
"quiet!"
Zhou Qing picked up a gavel and knocked on the table, but the sound was not loud.
In an instant, all the residents of the Holy Soul Village stopped talking, and the soul masters who came to the Holy Soul Village did not dare to make loud noises after feeling the seriousness of the atmosphere.
"Plaintiff, please come forward."
Zhou Qing said.
Uncle Wang, Uncle Li, and other farmers whose fields were burned all walked to the open space, knelt down, and said, "Your Excellency, please make the decision for us!"
"Hey, Uncle Wang, you don't have to kneel."
Zhou Qing's eyes twitched, and he called Tang San and the others to help them up. He also asked Xiao Lan and other students to bring chairs from the classroom and asked them to sit down, "Sit down and talk."
When Lu Yixin saw that there was a chair behind him, he was about to stand up, but Zhou Qing ordered the young men in the village to force him to his knees.
"I don't agree!"
Lu Yixin glared at Zhou Qing, "Prisoners also have human rights!"
"Here, because the laws are not sound and you have angered the public, the prisoners have no human rights." Tang San continued and gestured to Xiao Lan, who immediately understood and moved the extra chair back to the academy.
Lu Yixin's attitude also made the surrounding villagers and soul masters despise him.
Prisoners still want human rights?
Is this person probably some kind of mentally retarded person?
Even the three members of the Golden Generation doubted whether this person was Lu Yixin or not. How could he say such outrageous things? "Please let the plaintiff make a statement."
After returning to the judge's seat, Zhou Qing looked at Uncle Wang.
Uncle Wang immediately stood up from his chair and said, "This afternoon, an hour ago, I was harvesting rice in the field with my wife and son. Suddenly, I smelled a burning smell. I looked up and saw thick smoke coming out from the east. Three acres of my land was burned..."
After Uncle Wang, it was Uncle Li, then Aunt Lin, Sister Lu... After they all finished speaking, the soul masters on the periphery were a little confused.
Judging from the words used by these villagers, it seems that they didn't even know who set the fire. How can they determine the defendant's guilt?
Many undercover agents already believe that Zhou Qing and his men just want to take advantage of this opportunity to establish their prestige and make an example of others to scare the monkeys, so as to prevent those with ulterior motives among them from causing trouble again.
But most of the undercover agents think this is a good thing. After all, a stable environment will help them find out more secrets and trump cards about Zhou Qing and others.
If someone deliberately makes trouble, holding the idea, attitude and principle of "if I can't get it, no one else can get it", then it is better for them to eliminate the undercover agents of this crazy force first.
"The plaintiff has finished his statement. Now, it's Grandpa Jack's turn... Oh no, the village chief of Holy Soul Village, please express your opinion. What kind of punishment do you hope the arsonist will receive?" Zhou Qing looked at old Jack.
Old Jack cleared his throat and stood up from his chair. He didn't speak immediately, but asked, "This kid is a spirit master. If you punish him, you won't be held accountable by the sect or family behind him, right?"
Lu Yixin, with a bruised face and nose, said: "...Do they look like they are afraid of me?"
"quiet!"
Xiao Wu grabbed the gavel and threw it at Lu Yixin's forehead.
Boom!
The gavel was made of iron, and it left a cut on Lu Yixin's head, with blood trickling down.
And this behavior can be regarded as telling Old Jack the answer through practical actions:
no problem!
"No." Zhou Qing tried to comfort Old Jack, "Don't say he has no background. Even if he did, he would be punished for setting fire to the rice fields."
Old Jack finally felt relieved and said, "In that case, I hope he will compensate for the corresponding losses."
"Okay, this one will definitely be added."
Zhou Qing nodded vigorously, took over the losses calculated by Tang San, the temporary clerk, and then began to pronounce the verdict: "Lu Yixin, you set fire to the crops, causing the harvests of thirty households in the village to be destroyed. Wang Ming's family, three acres of good land; Li Dong's family, two acres of good land; Mei Ji's family, four acres of good land... In addition, Li Niang, Mei Xi, Liu Gou and hundreds of other villagers in the village helped to put out the fire, missing a day's harvest time, and more than thirty villagers were burned in the firefighting--"
"Therefore, this judge announces the verdict of the trial: Lu Yixin is sentenced to life imprisonment, that is, to serve thirty years in prison, and to compensate the farmers for the loss of good farmland, calculated at twenty gold soul coins per mu of land, including the cost of growing grain, labor costs, and mental damages, etc.
Compensation for lost work time for firefighters will be calculated based on one gold soul coin per person.
Firefighters who are burned by the flames must also pay corresponding medical expenses, rehabilitation expenses, mental damages, etc., which will be determined based on the severity of the burns, but must not be less than eight Gintama coins. "
"I don't agree!"
Lu Yixin glared at Zhou Qing, "What evidence do you have to say that I set the fire? I was just taking a shit in the farmland, not setting the fire, and I was knocked unconscious by the busty woman next to you... You arrested the wrong person!"
"Then I'll give you evidence—Romantina!"
"exist."
Romantina stood up, possessed by her martial spirit, and activated her spirit-sharing skill. The spirit power of everyone present was forcibly connected by Romantina, and they saw the scene of Lu Yixin setting fire.
Lu Yixin was seen holding a small soul guide that could ignite the ripe rice ears...
