Chapter 24 Light and Dawn
Following the notification from the Magic Tower, people were attracted by the content played by the Magic Tower before they had time to be shocked by this novelty.
At this time, the strong man who had grabbed Mrs. Xiong and refused to let go looked at the empty room. He had already given up and resolutely walked out of the room and walked towards their office in this city. Regardless of whether it was true or not, this was his The only hope for revenge.
As more and more people with grievances walked into the offices in various urban areas, the offices became more and more crowded. Those who had grievances told their own grievances, and those who did not have grievances listened to others talk about their good families, just because they have a few acres. Haotian, or because his wife or daughter was beautiful, or he had some precious treasures at home, was ruined by the noble master, and everyone was filled with indignation!
The priests quickly and carefully recorded the people and things told by the people. Each one of them was busy writing and writing. Fortunately, they had the art of honesty, which relieved most of the burden on the priests. Otherwise, they would have to verify each one. , then this public trial may be postponed indefinitely.
Time flies by quickly, and in the constant busyness, the day of the 15th has quietly arrived. The Judgment Hall in the center of the city had to be moved to the central square of the city in order to allow more people to see the trial.
The sky was still gloomy, and light rain was falling. A simple high platform was erected in the central square. The paladins stood tall and surrounded the high platform in the center, in case anyone had evil intentions and wanted to save them. These noble jackals.
There were densely packed people standing around, all waiting for the upcoming trial.
As the paladins escorted the weak nobles who had been imprisoned for several days to the front of the stage, a middle-aged man wearing a white robe with a golden holy light pattern embroidered on his chest walked towards the trial stand.
"Hello everyone! I am Pastor Jimu, and I am also the judge this time!" Jimu said to the shimmering light ball on the table, which was about the size of a fist! At the same time, the same sounds sounded from the magic towers in various urban areas.
Although the people in the audience were used to the magic of the Magic Tower, they did not expect that this public trial would be broadcast throughout the city and be so grand.
"This public trial is based on fairness and justice. No good person will be wronged, and no bad person will be spared! Therefore, I ask the defendants and plaintiffs in the audience to speak honestly and truthfully.
Then please invite the nobleman, Viscount Chelsea, to sit on the defendant's seat, and invite our victim, Mr. Ishihara, to sit on the plaintiff's seat!
Viscount Chelsea, the plaintiff, Mr. Ishihara, is suing you because you wanted to seize a hundred acres of his family's fertile land, so that you broke his eldest son's leg because the younger son did it in anger at you for hurting his eldest brother. You resisted and were killed by your warriors. Do you have an explanation for your actions? "
"Huh, they're just a bunch of untouchables. Just kill them!" Chelsea said proudly!
"Then you admitted it!" Jimu said lightly.
Chelsea tilted her head arrogantly, as if she didn't bother to argue with a pariah.
Jimu no longer asked any more questions, but directly announced the result. "Because Cheers committed murder intentionally, this court of ruling now declares him to death, and his accomplice, Jiji Warrior, will be executed immediately!"
After saying that, the two paladins forced the two of them to walk to the execution platform aside. Only then did Viscount Chelsea react and wanted to say something with trembling lips. However, because of the pride of the nobles, he did not want to be surrounded by so many untouchables. The unworthy behavior in front of him made these untouchables laugh. It was not until they were on the execution platform and trapped on the stone pillar that they screamed out in fear, but it was too late.
I saw the priest, holding his staff high, "Holy Light Judgment!" A huge beam of light fell from the sky and hit Viscount Chelsea and the warrior. They both let out painful howls as if they were being burned by the scorching sun. , and finally turned into fly ash in the white light.
The faces of the other nobles who were still alive all changed, and they were all so frightened that they no longer cared about the pride of the nobles, and began to loudly beg for mercy!
"Quiet! Everyone be quiet!" Jimu shouted loudly, "The trial is fair and fair. Everyone can argue for themselves in court! We will make a reasonable judgment based on evidence and witnesses, and under the witness of the Holy Light, All lies and sophistry have nowhere to hide!”
Looking at the court trial that finally quieted down, Jimu glanced at it and said, "Then let's move on to the next person!"
As time passed bit by bit, the nobles were sentenced one by one under the ironclad evidence of the people. Some were sentenced to death, and some were sentenced to ten or twenty years in prison! The people in the audience cheered when they saw the nobles who were like bereaved dogs. Suddenly they felt that the mountain that had been weighing on them was suddenly lifted away, and they felt so comfortable all over!
At night, with a bitter look on his face, Mrs. Xiong took his two losers to the most popular barbecue restaurant in the city, blaming himself for being too talkative.
Aping and Shishu hugged each other happily, looked at Mrs. Xiong who was parked in the barbecue restaurant, and said humbly, "Mrs. Xiong, go in! Why are you standing in front of the store! Do you still want me to treat you? Hahaha" A Ping felt a sense of joy as he spoke, and couldn't help laughing.
"First of all, leader, I've invited you to this meal. You have to help your brothers and arrange an opportunity!" Mrs. Xiong suddenly changed her mood and said with a flattering smile.
"Don't worry! You are such a bear, please treat me to this delicious meal! Muze Nazi is in Mina's priest group. When the time comes, I will remind Mina that you are not bad, and you are also a high-level saint. Knights, as long as the two of them have a liking for each other, they should be a good match..." At this point, Aping glanced at Mrs. Xiong and said uncertainly.
"Hey, hey, hey, leader, why are you looking down on others!" Mrs. Xiong shouted loudly.
"Captain, stop talking. I'm almost starving. I didn't even eat anything for lunch just for today's meal!" Shi Shu, who was nearby, pushed the two of them impatiently towards the store.
"Guests, what would you like to eat?" the waiter greeted enthusiastically.
"Chicken, beef, lamb chops! Hurry up, I'm so hungry. By the way, some more bottles of pineapple juice, the freshest kind!" Shi Shu said as if he was a regular customer.
The two of them looked at Shi Shu's impatient look and shook their heads helplessly. Sure enough, he was still a child. He only knew how to eat and didn't understand the feeling of falling in love at all!
The three of them quickly sat down and waited for the waiter to serve their food. Chatting a few words from time to time.
"Brother Yahiko, what did we eat today!" Xiaonan said happily.
"Eat beef!" Yahiko replied quickly. Nagato next to him nodded silently.
Then, under the waiter's arrangement, the three of them sat next to A Ping's table.
Aping looked at the three of them curiously. Based on the sense of holy power in his body, he felt that these three were not simple, a bit like ninjas, but he felt no malice and ignored them.
Yahiko looked at the three people next to him and felt that they had different temperaments. However, since they were out for dinner today, Aping and others were not wearing armor, so he could not see why and could only smile and nod at them.
Out of politeness, Aping nodded in return.
As the waiter quickly put the dishes on the table, everyone started eating quickly.
"Brother Yahiko, today's trial in the temple is really satisfying. Those scum should not exist in this world!" Xiao Nan said angrily with a pouted mouth.
"Although I don't quite agree, I don't think there's anything wrong with doing this!" Yahiko replied with a frown.
Nagato looked at Yahiko doubtfully, "Why don't you agree?"
"Although it seems good to do this, new hatred has been sown! The nobles of the Rain Kingdom will definitely hate the Holy Church. The Rain Kingdom, which is already in the land of four wars, will definitely have civil strife. When the time comes, More people will die."
"But if you don't do this, what should you do?" Nagato also frowned and thought. Konan also looked at Yahiko curiously, hoping for an answer from this omnipotent elder brother in her mind.
When Xiong Tai heard what Yahiko said, he angrily wanted to stand up and argue with this brat who didn't understand anything, but he was suppressed by A Ping who was beside him!
Since the church is quite free in terms of speech, there were many people discussing this matter at the barbecue restaurant, so Yahiko did not hide it, but spoke out his thoughts loudly:
"Teacher Jiraiya said that only when people understand each other and communicate more with each other can we build a peaceful world. For those nobles, we should let them understand the pain of ordinary people and let them understand that what they are doing is wrong. instead of offending the entire aristocratic group!"
The people nearby originally thought they could hear some good advice, but the result was a bit baffling. Can this matter be solved through communication?
A Ping looked at this boy who was almost the same as him, stood up slightly and said, "Communication, only communication on an equal footing is useful! And nobles and commoners are inherently two opposing groups. Your idea is too naive!"
Yahiko looked at this boy seriously, and he said with a firm look, "The opposition you mentioned is just caused by their failure to understand and communicate with each other! I believe that as long as a channel for mutual communication is established, peaceful coexistence will be achieved." model! Instead of making the confrontation more serious and causing greater division in the Kingdom of Rain!"
"Why do I say that your idea is naive? How can the communication channel you mentioned be established by relying on civilians? It is impossible to rely on the weak power of civilians! But if there is such a channel, it was established by the charity of the nobles. Yes, it is inherently unequal!
And with the aristocrats’ attitude of treating the common people as if they were nothing, it was impossible for them to awaken! Without these civilians, how would they live a luxurious life? If there were no civilians, how would they show their superior status!
Do you think they don’t understand the suffering of civilians? They know it, but when have meat-eaters pitied themselves against the meat they eat! "Aping said loudly.
Looking at Yahiko who was still thinking, Aping continued, "Before I saw the Holy Light, I thought I was just a piece of grass on the roadside, and could die worthlessly at any time in this hopeless world.
But when the Holy Light comes! I just understand! It turns out that there is a world where as long as we work hard and live seriously, we can all live like human beings and live well like normal people! "
"But if you act like this, the Kingdom of Rain will fall into greater turmoil and more people will die!" Yahiko continued to insist!
"Then let them come! If you seek peace through struggle, peace will exist; if you seek peace through compromise, peace will not exist. The Holy Light never only has a gentle healing light, but also burns like the scorching sun!"
