Chapter 561: Free is the most expensive (please book the starting point)
"The Wuhun Judgment Office hereby formally summons Xue Beng, the fourth prince of the Tiandou Empire."
At Xue Beng's residence in Tiandou City, two teams of Spirit Hall knights blocked the door.
Xue Beng was surrounded and stood at the gate, his head full of questions: "What do you mean? What summons? Wuhun Judgment Office?"
The leading knight took out a piece of light gold paper, held it up to his eyes and said: "In view of the noble status of the fourth prince, this summons was signed by the chief referee himself."
"Chief referee? Qin Jian? What is he doing?"
Xue Beng frowned and took it, reading it line by line, his face gradually turning as black as the bottom of a pot.
Because the paper not only stated his identity, age, gender, etc., but also listed almost all the evil things he had done since childhood.
From bullying men to dominating women, to stealing and stealing, everything is clear, including the time, place, and names of the victims involved.
Even he himself can't remember these things!
"You are slandering! Don't expect me to cooperate with you!"
Xue Beng slapped the gold paper hard on the knight's face.
"Fourth Prince, the chief referee asked us to tell you that if you don't come to the trial court tomorrow, an adjudication team will be dispatched to arrest you."
The knight put away the summons and continued to do his duty.
Xue Beng was furious: "Qin Jian is the chief referee of Wuhun Palace, and not the chief referee of our Tiandou Empire. Why should he ask me to be present?"
The knight said calmly: "The chief referee said that the fourth prince is a soul master. If the soul master does evil, he will be under the jurisdiction of Wuhun Palace. Moreover, this matter has been announced to the whole continent. If the fourth prince resolutely resists, then the Tiandou royal family will be humiliated.
.”
avalanche:"……"
Bang bang bang…
After the ruling team left, Avalanche decisively smashed everything in sight.
"Xue Beng, he is right, you must find a way to defend yourself..."
Prince Xue Xing appeared next to him and said in a low voice: "Now the public opinion seems to be against Xue Qinghe, but after all, we have no evidence at all about his things, and these things about you are all true, even if you were
I'm acting, but some things are really overdone..."
"If I hadn't really done it, Xue Qinghe would have noticed my disguise long ago!"
Xue Beng clenched his fists and roared: "They are just a group of untouchables. For me and for the Tiandou Empire, even if you die, isn't it right? What's wrong?!"
Xue Xing shook his head and said: "In normal times, if the royal family does something, no one will be held accountable at all, but now is the time for you and Xue Qinghe to compete, involving the reputation of both of you, plus the location of Wuhun Judgment
Mixed in, their reputation among the common people has greatly increased. If they don't deal with it seriously, they will really lose the support of the people. Even if the Xueqing River goes down, you won't be able to ascend the throne."
Xue Beng's fists tightened: "I knew Qin Jian was the key to breaking the game. Once he stands on the opposite side, the chance of winning will become extremely slim. Unfortunately, his strength... is actually stronger than Dugu Bo..."
"Didn't the Star Luo Empire hunt him down before? Intelligence showed that he commanded the Titan Giant Ape, the King of the Forest. Therefore, his identity is most likely a soul beast..."
Xuexing said in a low voice: "In this case, his strength is justified... However, even the strength of the Star Luo Empire was forced by him to give in. You..."
"I didn't surround him!"
Xue Beng said coldly: "I have studied his methods, and most of them are outright conspiracy. As long as I don't take the initiative to provoke him, he has no position to deal with me. At most, he will just hold on to those things in the past, but if
What happened in Xueqinghe?"
He suddenly turned around: "Uncle, please contact the royal family members. Just follow the words we had planned before... I will go to the newly built Tang Sect with Dugu Bo..."
"good."
Xuexing didn’t hesitate…
The entire Tiandou City was devastated by one incident after another, especially after Qin Jian's 10,000 verdicts and judgments were issued.
Countless people circulated it, discussed it, and looked excited.
Judgment of the Royal Family, how topical it is?
There are even smart businessmen who directly print tens of thousands of copies of Qin Jian's trial books and sell them to people who are eager to see them, making a lot of money...
"Oh, it's a pity that there is no intellectual property protection law in this world. These people should give me their share..."
The next day, the square in front of the imperial city was crowded with people.
On the high tribunal, hundreds of soul masters from the tribunal stood quietly. Qin Jian sat on the main seat without hesitation, while Xue Qinghe sat beside him.
"Intellectual Property Protection Law? What is that?" he asked curiously.
"It's nothing, it's just about the protection of original content providers, and even if there is an intellectual property law, it's useless. It still depends on whether the country will vigorously regulate it..."
Qin Jian held his head and said: "Otherwise, piracy will still be rampant, infringing on the rights of original creators, and even causing some consumers to be proud of free prostitution... It's sad... In the end, it will only make the homogenization of works more serious.
, everyone is copying me and I am copying you, and no one is willing to put a lot of effort into originality..."
"Many people don't understand a simple truth, free is the most expensive... The development of an industry requires the protection of original creators, otherwise, the content will become increasingly sinking, and in the end, no one will have good works.
look…"
There was a big question mark on Xue Qinghe's forehead: "?"
"Why didn't I understand your long talk?" He rolled his cute little eyes.
Qin Jian squeezed her little hand and chuckled: "It's nothing, just complaining... I would like to suggest that you wait until the matter is settled. You come up with a plagiarism income tax and deduct 80% of the profits of those pirates. Then I will share half of it.
This way everyone will have soup to drink."
"oh…"
Xue Qinghe said nonchalantly: "It's just a group of businessmen. If you're not happy, you can arrest them all and sentence them."
Qin Jian: "..."
Therefore, in a world dominated by soul masters, businessmen have little status...
"The fourth prince Xuebeng has arrived!"
At this moment, there was a loud sound in the sky and an avalanche appeared.
I saw him wearing gorgeous clothes, followed by Dugu Bo and Prince Xuexing as usual. He walked up to the trial stand with his head held high and his chest held high. He looked as if he was not here to be tried, but like a judge.
"The Fourth Prince Xuebeng is really here? Isn't he afraid of being judged? I heard that the soul masters who are judged will be sent to the Death Canyon by the Wuhun Judgment to be imprisoned..."
"He is the fourth prince and has a noble status. How can he really be tried? I suspect this is a show to clear his name."
"That shouldn't be the case. Isn't there a lot of bad news about the prince recently? Doesn't it seem that the fourth prince has ideas about the throne, and the prince fights back? Everyone knows this kind of thing..."
"..."
At least tens of thousands of people gathered under the trial stage. Fortunately, there are no infectious diseases here, so people can gather in groups without the need for isolation...
"Where's my place?"
Someone guided Dugu Bo and Prince Xue Xing to the side and sat down, leaving Xue Beng alone standing in the center of the trial platform, looking calmly.
