Before the head of the Discipline Academy could speak, Long Chen had already sneered: "When did I insult the dean?"
What kind of person is Long Chen? What kind of battle has he never seen before? The old man targeted him as soon as he came up. His hostility was extremely obvious. If Long Chen couldn't guess the mystery behind this, he would be an idiot.
"Shut up, this is the judgment hall. When you are not allowed to speak, you are not allowed to interrupt randomly, otherwise you will be punished with a rod." Another old man shouted sternly.
Haha? There is more than one relationship, the Chu family can do it, two against one? As soon as the other old man opened his mouth, Long Chen immediately understood that these two old men were wearing the same pair of pants.
Luo Bing sat next to Long Chen and pulled Long Chen with his hand, signaling Long Chen to be more careful and not to be beaten for any reason. No one would be able to save him then.
But Long Chen was unmoved, looked at the old man and sneered: "It's a joke, it's true that this is the trial hall, but did the first master announce that the trial has begun?
Since the trial has not started, why can't others speak? What? You have a big butt, so you can only fart by yourself, but you can't let others speak?"
"Long Chen..."
Luo Bing was so frightened that his face turned pale. This Long Chen was so bold that he defied the sky, the earth, and the air. Even the old man dared to defy him. You must know that those two are the two chief judges on the Judgment Throne, and their status is the same as that of the head of the Discipline Academy.
It's the same, just with slightly less rights.
But Long Chen still talked about things and deliberately angered the old man. Now it was over. Even Luo Ning and Mu Qingyun were trembling with fear. Is this guy Long Chen going to die?
As soon as Long Chen finished speaking, there was a burst of laughter in the huge trial hall. They really couldn't hold it back. When they realized that it was inappropriate to laugh here, they quickly restrained themselves, but the atmosphere in the whole place became extremely weird.
The people who could come here were all of very high status and had experienced countless storms, but Long Chen's words made them all laugh.
"Bold Long Chen, dare to humiliate me..." The old man was furious and wanted to pronounce Long Chen guilty.
"Put it down. Before the trial begins, our identities are the same. Don't talk about useless things.
According to the law of the Academy, Judgment Chapter, Chapter 7, Article 21, Paragraph 9, it is clearly written: In court, the law is strict, no one is allowed to provoke the majesty of the judge or utter humiliating words. Violators
Punishment of flesh and blood can be imposed as a warning and to punish the arrogant spirit... Under the court, everyone is equal and has the same rights, so punishment is not based on selfishness, and punishment is not based on anger..." Long Chen sneered and kept talking.
I recited a large passage.
The powerful men present were all surprised. Long Chen recited the Academy Law so familiarly that they couldn't help but admire him.
Long Chen recited the law, and the two old men's faces darkened. It was obvious that Long Chen recited it perfectly, which was beyond their expectations.
You must know that the law of the academy is not a compulsory course for disciples. Not to mention Long Chen, a disciple who has just started, even some elder-level experts do not know it.
Court rules are a compulsory course, but the law is not, and not many people know about the details of the trial, especially.
The reason why the strong men present knew that Long Chen was right was because they could see it from the expressions of the two old men.
Seeing the shocked expressions of the two people, Long Chen sneered in his heart: I knew this thing would definitely come in use in the future.
Long Chen deliberately studied the laws of the seminary in the Shinto Sutra Pavilion, just to avoid falling into a trap unknowingly in the future. At the same time, he also had a hunch that he would be a frequent visitor to the trial hall in the future. Sure enough, he used it now.
"Okay, the trial ceremony has not started yet, you have the right to defend yourself at any time." The old man's palace was considered to be deep enough, and he was not angered by this matter.
"But you insulted the dean. This is an indisputable fact. How can you justify it?" The old man said coldly and went back to the original question.
Long Chen suddenly stood up, pointed at the old man and said solemnly: "As the presiding judge, you should use neutral words when speaking, without any praise or criticism. You cannot look at the problem from a personal emotional perspective. Only from the perspective of a bystander can you clearly understand everything.
Separate public and private matters.
When you come up and use the word sophistry, it means that before the interrogation has even begun, you have already accused me of betrayal in your heart. You need to apologize to me, otherwise I will make a complaint to the dean. The presiding officer of the Discipline Academy is serious.
Dereliction of duty, unfairness, bad influence, destroying the foundation of our Lingxiao Academy..."
Long Chen was gibbering, talking long and eloquently, and he caught a loophole in a word. Long Chen almost said that the old man was a spy who tried to overthrow Lingxiao Academy.
The old man was so angry that his face turned green. He never dreamed that a young boy could be so difficult to deal with. Just because of a word, he caught the handle and was instantly forced into a desperate situation.
"My lord, according to the laws of the seminary, the complainant encounters unfair treatment during the defense process. In order to avoid an unjust case, he has the right to complain to a higher level.
So this old guy has already accused me of a crime before he has even been interrogated. If he doesn’t apologize to me, I will appeal now and ask the chief to apply for qualifications for me." Long Chen cupped his fists at the chief of the Discipline Academy.
.
The face of the leader of the Discipline Academy remained unchanged, but there was a hint of appreciation in his eyes. He did not expect that this Long Chen would be so difficult to deal with. He wanted to laugh several times, but he held it back.
The faces of the two old men became extremely ugly, especially the one who was caught, who wanted to squeeze Long Chen alive.
But Long Chen is familiar with the laws of the academy, and he did say something wrong. According to the law, Long Chen has the right to appeal.
Moreover, the three of them are already the three most powerful people in the Discipline Academy, except for the head of the academy. In order to pursue justice, the person being sued must be two levels higher than the old man in order to avoid injustice caused by superior protection.
There is only one person above the head of the Discipline Academy, and that is the dean of Lingxiao Academy.
If this matter alarmed the dean, the consequences would be disastrous. The old man could only stand up and bow slightly to Long Chen:
"I am rude because your words offended the dean, whom I respect the most, so I spoke too much. I would like to apologize to you here."
Mu Qingyun, Luo Bing, Luo Ning and the disciples from the Xiaoyao League behind them were all stunned, their mouths opened wide, they couldn't believe their eyes.
Long Chen actually forced the superior inquisitor to bow and apologize for him? Is the world crazy, or are we crazy?
"Forget it, since you are so sincere, I won't argue with you." Long Chen waved his hands, as if an adult doesn't remember the faults of the villain, and sat back in his seat.
The powerful men present all looked at Long Chen. It seemed that no one in history had ever forced the chief judge to bow and apologize in the first-level trial hall.
The old man finished with a bow, his face was stern, and he seemed to be a different person. He suddenly shouted sharply: "Long Chen, you humiliated the dean, how do you explain it?"
