Below the document, the large vermilion seal of the Criminal Hall is clearly visible.
Dean Hong suddenly woke up. Fang Yun is now in the palace examination period and cannot use the actual power of the virtual saint in Ning'an County. However, as a virtual saint, Fang Yun has too much hidden power.
It can even be said that, apart from the living semi-saints, Fang Yun is now the person with the highest honor and status in the human race. As long as Fang Yun's demands are reasonable, the Holy Academy will naturally let him go.
Fang Yun did not deprive the juren of his literary title, he just detained him temporarily. Not only Fang Yun, but even a university scholar could obtain such authorization from the Holy Academy, but the time might be longer.
"Lock!" Fang Yun shouted softly, and saw the official seal shining brightly, illuminating the main hall. Then an invisible force went straight into Dean Hong's palace and blocked all his power.
"Hurry up and take him down!" Fang Yun gave an order, and the officers rushed forward without any hesitation and locked Dean Hong in shackles.
Dean Hong was so angry that he almost lost his mind, but he had to suppress his anger and shouted: "Fang Xusheng, did I have any grievances against you in the past?"
"No injustice."
"Today I will make an enemy of you?"
"No vengeance!"
"You and I have no grudges against each other, so why do you want to kill me? Why?" Dean Hong's hair and beard stood on end, and he was furious.
Fang Yun looked at Dean Hong calmly and asked, "Does Tian Lu have any grievance against you?"
"No injustice!" Dean Hong answered decisively.
"Does that mean you have a grudge against me?"
"No grudge!" Dean Hong said firmly.
"Since Tian Lu has no grudge against you, he was studying in your academy and was bullied. Why didn't you treat him fairly? Why did you watch him being ruined and not care? Why did you protect the murderer?"
"you… "
Fang Yun smiled contemptuously and interrupted Dean Hong, saying, "Tian Lu was a student of your academy and has been harmed for many years. Not only did you not help him to uphold justice, but you also appeased him and sought peace. This is your first crime."
"This old man..."
"Shut up!" Fang Yun shouted, and Dean Hong's mouth was immediately sealed by an invisible force.
Fang Yun is the lord of a county!
Fang Yun continued, "As the head of the academy, you saw Ni Xian running rampant in the academy, but you didn't know how to punish him severely. Instead, you protected and condoned him. This is your second crime!"
"As a candidate of the human race, you indulged a few people like Ni Xian for your own selfish desires, forcing the majority of people like Tian Lu to suffer mental damage and find it difficult to climb to a higher position. Over the past few decades, I don't know how many talents our human race has lost. This is the third crime! After these three crimes are investigated in the Criminal Palace, this county will petition the Holy Court to deprive you of your position!"
"You... you... how dare you! If you treat me like this, I will kill myself at the foot of Daofeng Mountain and make you infamous and disgraced for eternity!" Dean Hong didn't dare to call Fang Yun a brat after all.
"Remember to send me a letter before you go to Daofeng Mountain. I'll pay for the travel expenses. Put this man in jail and wait for the investigation in the Criminal Hall!" After Fang Yun finished speaking, he threw out a warrant.
"Yes!" Several officers escorted Dean Hong to the prison.
Fang Yun seemed to suddenly remember something and said, "That's right. If nothing unexpected happens, tomorrow afternoon, the Leiyin trial in this county will announce the verdict of this matter. All the criminals involved in this case will be paraded through the streets for three days to serve as a warning to others!"
"You... you... you..." Dean Hong could no longer utter a complete sentence. At this moment, he was already shrouded in endless panic. Now he finally understood that Fang Yun was still dancing with a sword in Xiang Zhuang's hands, aiming at Pei Gong.
However, Fang Yun's sword was not aimed at the dean of his academy, but at the style of study in Ning'an County! The style of study in the world!
"Failure..." Dean Hong was completely shocked by his own guess and completely lost the idea of competing with Fang Yun.
At the moment when President Hong's verdict was announced, Fang Yun only felt the Wen Palace shaking slightly, and then the five streams of talent in the Wen Palace suddenly gushed out like fountains, interweaving in mid-air and merging into one, forming a light bronze legal code!
Fang Yun's eyes flashed with joy. It was extremely difficult to form a legal code. Only after becoming a Jinshi and accumulating rich knowledge and practice could one have a code. Generally, it took a Jinshi who majored in Legalism ten years to condense a code, and a scholar who minored in Legalism at least 20 to 30 years to condense it, and some even failed to condense it in their entire lives.
The Legalist Code is divided into the main code and the auxiliary code. The bronze code is the main code. As long as you practice it step by step, the power of the code will increase and become stronger and stronger without too many restrictions.
The light bronze code is a supplementary code. Due to the influence of the power of the Holy Way, it is unable to obtain some of the main powers of the Legalists, such as "drawing a line on the ground to make a prison", "establishing prohibitions to make laws", "clarifying the canonical punishments", etc.
It is precisely because of the exclusivity and independence of Legalism that there is an irreconcilable contradiction between Legalism and Confucian scholars who respect the sacred way of propriety. The question of which is higher, propriety or law, has become the most acute dispute over the sacred way within the human race.
The auxiliary study of the Code can use a portion of the power of the Legalists, but the types that can be used are very limited, and unless the person who is auxiliary study of the Code can make a huge breakthrough in the Legalist holy way, the power of the Code will be difficult to use in battle.
Therefore, although there are many people who study Legalism as a minor, none of them attach importance to the fighting power of Legalism because of the needs of their own official positions. Among those scholars who are not officials in various countries, there are very few who study Legalism as a minor.
However, the only exception is the scholars of the Eclectic School, because the core of the Eclectic School's holy way is "combining Confucianism and Mohism, and combining legalism and legalism", so their code is essentially a supplementary code, but its color is bronze, and they can use all the legalist powers under the holy way.
However, compared with the real main code, the miscellaneous code is ultimately weaker.
Fang Yun lowered his head slightly, his mind focused on the text, and looked at the code of law that he was studying as a supplementary subject.
The word "Code" was written on the light bronze code, but when I opened the first page, it was blank.
On the second page, there were pictures of Zhang Youde, Liu Quan, a fan, etc. It was obviously just a portrait, but after Fang Yun took a look at it, the entire process of the case automatically emerged in his mind, and it was extremely detailed, allowing him to have a deeper understanding of the case.
This is the main power of the Code, which cannot be used in battle, but is of vital importance to the Fa family.
On the third page, there are also many characters, such as Dean Hong who had just been detained, the victim Tian Lu, the defendant Ni Xian, etc. However, the portraits of these people are all drawn with dotted lines, which is fundamentally different from the previous portraits.
Only after the case is completely closed will the lines on the third page turn from virtual to real.
The fourth page is also blank.
There are some appendices at the end of the code.
Appendix 1 is about the trial transcript, and the whole page emits a faint golden light!
Appendix 2 records the titles of the plaintiff and the defendant, and also has a faint golden glow, but it is far less dense than the court trial transcript.
Appendix Three deals with sentencing of minors, but this appendix consists of dotted lines.
Fang Yun studied hard and gained some understanding of the legal code.
The dotted line not only means that it is not completed, but also means a certain risk, because once a false case or a wrongful conviction occurs, even if it is turned into a solid line, it will not bring any power to the code, and may even weaken the power of the code.
Looking at the dotted line for sentencing of minors in Appendix 3, Fang Yun thought about it and decided not to change his original intention and to take the proven legal path.
Whether it is the laws of Shengyuan Continent or the world where the ancient Chinese nation is located, there are different legal systems. The laws of some countries are even determined by the states themselves. There is no absolute right or wrong.
(To be continued…)
ps: Ahem, sorry, the chapter numbers in the previous few chapters are wrong. The main reason is that Lao Huo was affected by Liu Shan's strategy and fell into confusion. I am contacting the editor to make changes... Thank you to the readers who pointed out the omissions! Please lend me some literary courage to resist Zuo Xiang's strategy...
