The strongest talent tree

Chapter 779
Feng Hao didn't know what the criminal was thinking. He just wanted to prove himself and show off the prestige of the ruling elder.

"Come on, let's move on to the interrogation phase." Feng Hao cleared his throat, looked at Ming Xinyan and the other five seriously, and asked, "Let some law enforcement officers state his crimes first."

Ming Xinyan and the five of them looked at each other, shook their heads with a wry smile, and prepared to step forward to go through the procedure.

Who would have thought that before Ming Xinyan and others opened their mouths, the criminal kneeling on the ground was unhappy: "I don't accept it. I didn't make any mistake. Let other elders come to judge and give me justice!"

"What?" Feng Hao glared and asked in annoyance: "Are you questioning this elder?!"

"It's just a little kid, what if I'm wronged?" The criminal's eyes turned red, and he said without fear in the face of danger.

"Very good, very courageous." Feng Hao hummed and nodded, then looked around at Ming Xinyan and the other five and said, "This thief ignores the Judgment Hall. According to the sect, how should we deal with it?"

Ming Xinyan opened her mouth to speak but then stopped: "According to the sect, those who ignore the Judgment Hall will be punished with thirty lashes."

"Then why are you still standing there? Give him a slap until he is convinced." Feng Hao said, holding back his anger: "Grandma, I am also the adjudicating elder. It's okay for others to question me. You are the only one who commits the crime." How dare a thief question me!"

This time, Ming Xinyan and the other five did not hesitate, because according to the rules of the sect, those who collided with the Judgment Hall should indeed be punished.

"Brother Thief, I'm sorry!"

Fang Jie and others looked at each other, turned over his hand and took out a long whip, gritted his teeth and whipped it.

clap ~ clap ~ clap...

For a moment, the crackling sound of whipping echoed in the judgment hall.

The gray-faced criminal was actually pretty good-looking. After thirty whips, he didn't say a word. At most, he only had a ferocious look on his face, staring at Feng Hao with an expression of disapproval.

"How is it? Are you still convinced now?" Feng Hao asked in a deep voice.

"Dissatisfied!"

Feng Hao immediately became angry, waved his hand and said, "Keep pumping until he is convinced!"

Ming Xinyan persuaded in astonishment: "Elder, the punishment for ignoring the judgment hall has already been whipped. I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to do this, right?"

"Who said it was inappropriate?" Feng Hao said angrily: "How should the crime of rushing against this elder be calculated? How should the crime of unrepentantness be calculated? How should the crime of ignoring the sect rules be calculated?"

"Stop talking to me about these useless things. I already know the rules by heart. Hurry up. He just needs to be whipped. He can't do it without being whipped."

Hearing this, Ming Xinyan and others looked at me and I looked at you, and the corners of their mouths all twitched.

Don't tell me, if you judge according to the details of the sect rules, you can really deduct a lot of punishment from him.

In desperation, Fang Jie had no choice but to wave his whip and continue the punishment...

But this criminal was also a tough guy. After beating him for a long time, he didn't give in. He gritted his teeth and stared at Feng Hao with red eyes, full of stubbornness and arrogance.

Unfortunately, this trick was useless against Feng Hao. The more arrogant he became, the angrier Feng Hao became.

At the critical moment, the elders from all over the Judgment Hall rushed over after hearing the news. After seeing the situation at the scene, they hurriedly stepped forward to persuade them: "My little ancestor, what are you doing~ Quick, quick, quick, make them stop!"

"No, this kid ignored the sect rules and openly provoked this elder. He must be whipped!" Feng Hao's stubborn temper set in and no one could stop him.

Several elders who assisted him couldn't laugh or cry and said: "Our Thief Temple has always been fair and strict, we can't do this." Feng Hao remained calm and continued to let Fang Jie beat him for a long time. After his anger was almost gone, he ordered to stop: "How many times?" What the elder said makes sense, our Temple of Thieves has always been fair and strict, and we cannot bend the law for personal gain."

Hearing this, Ming Xinyan and others were relieved, and several of the elders who persuaded them were also sweating.

"Girl Xinyan, you brought the thief here, tell me what mistake he made." The leader of the old man in gray asked with a sigh.

This elder's surname is Xu, and he was the right-hand man of the previous elder Judgment. After Feng Hao succeeded him, he was sent by the Thief Master to assist Feng Hao. He can be said to be the second-in-command of the Judgment Hall.

During this time, Feng Hao also learned a lot of experience from him.

After seeing several elders arriving at the scene, the thief had nothing to resist. He believed that several respected elders would give him justice.

Ming Xinyan didn't talk nonsense. After briefly organizing her thoughts, she began to describe the thief's crime in detail.

"Reporting to the elders, this thief's name is Wang Qiang. He is from Yingtian City in Nanyue Kingdom. He is more than 30 years old and serves as the deacon of the business department in the branch hall of Yingtian City."

"Previously, the master of the branch hall of Yingtian City had an affair with his wife Ma and was caught in bed by him. In a rage, Wang Qiang beheaded the master of the branch hall of Yingtian City on the spot. When his subordinates rushed to the scene, Wang Qiang went crazy with grief. But after I woke up, I didn’t put up much resistance.”

"Hiss~~~!" Upon hearing this, Elder Xu and others frowned and let out a breath of cold air.

There is no way, this case is a bit tricky. If it is not handled well, it may cause public anger among the disciples.

In terms of love, it was natural for Wang Qiang to kill the adulterer in anger, but in terms of sect rules, killing fellow sect members was a serious crime, not to mention that the person he killed was a branch master.

Although the head of the branch hall was at fault, it should be handled by the Judgment Hall. Wang Qiang himself did not have the right to enforce the law.

Several elders made eye contact, nodded understandingly, and then looked at Feng Hao with a smile: "Elder Judgment, this case is more difficult. You have just taken office and are not very clear about the operation of the sect rules. Let us old guys handle it. "

"You don't believe in this elder's ability?" Feng Hao frowned and snorted coldly.

To be honest, after hearing the whole case, he also felt it was a bit difficult, but he is now the adjudicating elder, and he has to handle the most difficult cases personally, otherwise his position as the adjudicating elder will always be just a name.

What's more, this case sounds a bit familiar. It seems to be similar to a story that has been circulated for nearly a hundred years in the history of Earth's China.

"Of course not, it's just that this matter is of great importance. If it is not handled well, the consequences will be disastrous." Elder Xu said with a dry smile: "And you have no experience in handling cases yet, so let us handle it."

"That's what I say, but where does the second time come from without the first time?" Feng Hao said with firm eyes: "Stop talking, elders, this case will be decided by this elder!"

Seeing Feng Hao's determined look, the elders wanted to die.

"Little ancestor, this matter is no joke. If you really want to judge the case, my subordinates have many simple things for you to practice on. But let us handle the case in front of you."

"Huh?" Feng Hao exclaimed in shock, "What did you just say? Do you have other cases in your hands?"

"This..." Several elders blushed and were speechless.

In this scene, Feng Hao, as long as he is not a fool, can understand the fishery inside. He immediately slammed the table and shouted angrily: "Okay, you guys, let me tell you why no case has been handled for a month. It turns out that you have stopped me." You have it in your hand, right?”

"Grandma, you guys got together to lie to me, right?" Feng Hao got angrier as he thought about it, "If an acquaintance hadn't come today and Xiaobai hadn't pulled me over in time, would you still be planning to deceive me?! "
