Just when Diao Si was taking advantage of the temporary stability of the empire to go to Green Hidden City to find Xiaoyan on the pretext of inspecting the railway route, some people from the royal family who were looking for trouble suddenly invited him to deal with a case involving Lei Pi of the Lei Gang family. The trial of old cases in Blazing Lake City.
This was exactly what these bastards wanted to do to please Diao Si, but after more and more people knew about it, Diao Si had to find a way to handle this landmark case, so he moved the location of the trial to the palace. in.
"Lei Pi, do you remember..." As soon as the management official started to speak, he was interrupted by Diao Si: "It's the Earl, did you privately deprive him of his title?" The other management officials secretly laughed again. stand up.
"I admit it, but this is just my behavior and has nothing to do with my daughter. I beg...please Emperor Chizhi to be lenient and let my daughter go." Lei Pi did not dare to look at Diao Si and only said this to him. He begged for mercy.
Only then did Diao Si look at Lei Ji behind her. In fact, he also regretted having used the dark ritual on Lei Ji. Fortunately, it seemed like there was nothing wrong with her now.
"Is it your turn to plead for mercy? It depends on the arrangement of the law, you know? The law is impartial. Whatever it says, I have to judge..." The bastard introduced the law in a mess, but fortunately her direction is correct.
They spent some time talking about the whole thing several times, and then the management officials began to make deductions based on Lei Pi's family status and title based on the new laws of the Blazing Empire.
Because Lei Pi was an earl, it didn't matter. This made the official unwilling, and he kept turning his head to see what Diao Si meant. But Lei Pi's daughter Lei Ji was guilty of a serious crime. According to the crime she had intended to murder Ou Ya, especially Diao Si, she was definitely guilty of death.
Lei Pi became so excited that she even burst into tears and ran over to beg Diao Si, saying that she was willing to die on Lei Ji's behalf and begging Diao Si to fulfill her wish.
Lei Pi's motherly love was quite touching, but it could not move the management officials. After they signaled some mixed crystal soldiers who were responsible for security to pull Lei Pi away, they were about to give Lei Ji the verdict of execution.
"No, wait a minute. This law is not perfect yet and is not appropriate." When Diao Si said this, the management officials immediately stopped. They thought Diao Si wanted to change the law and kill Lei Pi and the others.
"Of course, I'm just giving some advice here. It has to be judged by the professional eyes of these adults who are proficient in imperial laws. I don't have the ability to make decisions in this regard."
Diao Si said, walked up to Lei Pi and slowly helped her up. This move was unacceptable again, so Lei Pi kept asking him to let her die in Lei Ji's place.
"First of all, I have to let you all consider how old Reggie is now. Was she still a child at the time? Can such a child commit such a crime to be entirely blamed on her? I think this is mainly the mother's disciplinary responsibility. In the future Should we hold their elders responsible for any children who commit such crimes?”
What Diao Si said was actually some discussion about juvenile delinquency. These management officials couldn't quite understand it, but since it was Diao Si who said it, of course they could only nod. In fact, Diao Si expressed his opinion in this way, but the level of these bastards was too low, so he had no choice but to do so.
After understanding that Diao Si wanted to save Lei Ji, Lei Pi began to thank him, but then Lei Ji and Reni had objections and proposed to bear the crime for their mother. Their relationship is quite good, which is much more upright than those hypocritical management officials.
"And Lei Ji didn't want to kill me at that time. We just wanted to have a discussion. I can testify to this." Diao Si was a little moved when he saw their mother and daughter like this, so he helped and said, "In addition, they killed Master Ouya, isn’t he still alive and well? This crime should be lighter.”
Hearing what Diao Si said, Lei Pi over there couldn't believe it, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed directly to Diao Si. Such Diao Si also criticized the mixed crystal warriors who stood by and watched. How could Lei Pi be allowed to do this? Who would be responsible if she got injured while kowtowing, so they immediately dragged her up.
Although Diao Si hated Lei Pi, especially when she attacked Ou Ya, if he went back to that time, he would really kill someone. But now that everything is over, even if he kills Lei Pi and the entire Lei Gang family, there is no point in it. It is best to handle this benchmark case.
"Then, Your Majesty, how do you think our case should be judged?" The bastard bent down and asked Diao Si again. In fact, she knew how to judge, but she saw that the sentence was too light and she was afraid that Diao Si would scold her if she judged it.
"What qualifications do I have to judge such a case? You are the responsible official for the trial. You are the biggest in front of this case!" After Diao Si responded like this, the guy felt even more uncomfortable because she couldn't figure out Diao Si at all. What is your attitude towards Lei Pi
Just when the bastard was still hesitating, Diao Si suddenly remembered something, so he said to the management official: "Also... wasn't there a document issued before? For some old cases before I took office, it should be How do you act as a management official to reduce the punishment or not to deal with it? "
After struggling like this for a while, the management official finally handed over the trial results they had studied to another young management official to read out, lest Diao Si would not let her go if there were any questions. But unexpectedly, after the young official finished reading, Diao Si praised her.
In the end, Lei Pi was only deprived of her title and land in Chihu City. In fact, this fiefdom had already been taken back. Reggie and Renee only need to attend a few days of classes at a newly established education center and do social service work for a period of time.
Regarding this result, after Lei Pi was released by the mixed crystal warriors, he walked up to Diao Si and asked him three words: "Why?"
Diao Si smiled faintly after hearing this, and after thinking for a while, he responded: "Actually, I also want to punish you, but this is how the law stipulates, and I have no choice."
He said this because he wanted these people to spread his words, and then let everyone know that the power of the law is greater than that of his great Emperor Chi, and no one can be above the law. It can be said that this case has attracted a lot of attention and onlookers, and this benchmark must be set well.
After they all left, Diao Si unconsciously remembered the days he had with Ou Ya, especially when Ou Ya was sunk at the bottom of the Chi Lake...
By the way, there is a strange glowing thing at the bottom of Chi Lake. What is it? In such a deep blazing lake bottom, it can still emit such light, maybe it is some kind of treasure. If I have a chance in the future, I will have to find out.
That night, Diao Si first said hello to Ou Yun to prevent her from getting into any more trouble. He also told her that he might have to leave for a few days, because it would take a lot of time to come back and forth. Ou Yun still had a lot of problems, but Diao Si used the development of the empire as a shield, so Ou Yun didn't say anything else.
After a good night's rest, Diao Si led his team and set off early the next morning. Zuo Rui and the others originally proposed to go back and see their Green Hidden City, but Diao Si left on his own, so they all had to stay, otherwise he would not be able to rest assured.
Because there is now a railway between the Imperial City and Zarkon City, they can take the train to Zarkon City first. This can save a lot of distance, which is of course a good choice. To be honest, Diao Sizhen has brought a lot of benefits to this world, otherwise they don't know when they will have such a train.
However, after sitting on a train made by a dwarf like this, Diao Si realized why it was so uncomfortable. This train sat like a tractor. If you sit on it for a long time, your buttocks will get blistered. It really needs to be improved in the future and set up some special seats. Only passenger cars will do.
But thinking that he would be able to meet Xiaoyan soon, it was worth it even if Diao Si sat on the edge of a knife and went back. Thinking about the moment he met Xiaoyan, thinking about that beautiful Xiaoyan, Diao Si smiled sweetly in his heart.
However, Diao Si felt a little uneasy when he thought that he had been away for so long. He just hoped that Xiaoyan had not encountered any problems during this time and was still waiting for him. (To be continued)
