The midday sun refracted into the church, and the expressions of the thirteen mountain and sea powerhouses above the light and shadow were somewhat unclear. Shen Qian could only vaguely feel their eyes on him.
There is curiosity, regret, and hatred... and some people's eyes flicker. Judging from the feedback from Shen Qian's spiritual core, they all seem to be thinking about something.
Shen Qian glanced at the nameplates on the chests of these thirteen young and middle-aged men and women.
They were from the Military Department, the Martial Arts Department and the Education Department respectively. A strong person from the Police and Military Department was also present.
The positions are not low, and they are all deputy directors or above.
Judging from the order of seats, it is obvious that the dark-faced man in the middle in front of Shen Wen at this moment has the most say among them.
"Recruitment Management Department of the Military Ministry, Zhou Changhe."
Shen Qian glanced at his nameplate and remembered the other person's name.
"Hello fellow directors, I wonder what the crime Director Zhou mentioned is?"
Shen Qian saluted according to etiquette and then asked.
"On February 8, 2297, you officially joined the military and were awarded the position of centurion of the first team of the ninth company of the Lushu Camp of the Jiangzhong Army, with the rank of lieutenant."
Zhou Changhe opened the folder in his hand with a serious face and said at the same time.
"Eight days ago was the day when freshmen from all military academies in the country joined the military. It was also the day when you officially performed your duties as the centurion of Lushu Camp. Your first duty was to serve as a representative of the new students in front of all the students. delivered a speech and took an oath on the live broadcast of the website.”
"But you disappeared for eight days without any reason, so you will now face the charge of leaving your job without permission."
"In addition, considering your special status, this matter has also caused a certain range of social impact, so we have launched a joint investigation process from the three ministries and one division."
"Shen Qian, if you have no doubts about the above facts, we will immediately start the investigation process."
After Zhou Changhe finished speaking calmly, he asked.
"I didn't, but..."
"Since you have no doubts, do you plead guilty?"
Zhou Changhe interrupted Shen Qian.
Shen Qian frowned, "Of course I don't plead guilty, because there was a special reason for my sudden departure from the military..."
"So you want to file a complaint?" Zhou Changhe interrupted Shen Qian again.
"...Yes." Shen Qian closed his eyes and then nodded.
"Okay, let's enter the inquiry process."
Zhou Changhe's face was expressionless, "Shen Qian, have you read the "Chinese Military Discipline Regulations" in accordance with the requirements for joining the army? As a military student, are you familiar with the school regulations and relevant management laws?"
"I know everything, but..."
"You only need to answer 'yes' or 'no'." Zhou Changhe interrupted Shen Qian for the third time.
Shen Qian narrowed his eyes... Zhou Changhe was targeting him, and the feeling of targeting was extremely obvious.
Shen Qian had a strong feeling that the other party did not intend to give him any chance to defend himself.
This situation is different from what Shen Qian expected.
In addition, the attitudes of the other twelve people are also very strange.
Not only did they say nothing, but they always looked on with cold eyes, as if...
They have already reached a certain consensus.
Shen Qian didn't really want to understand.
In fact, when he knew that today was the "three-chamber trial", Shen Qian didn't feel any pressure.
This is not only due to his own confidence, but also due to the attitude of the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Martial Arts towards Shen Qian.
Minister of Education Ma Gongzuo has always admired Shen Qian very much. Although the two have never met in person, when Shen Qian enrolled in Jiangzhong Military Academy, Minister Ma personally wrote a letter to express his congratulations to him. This shows how much he values Shen Qian.
Not to mention the Martial Arts Department. During the last meeting at Beiwu Tiantai, the Martial Arts Minister Wu Wei was very close to him and did not even hold him responsible for "stealing the Meiyuan", let alone even gave him a last word.
That sentence contained so much expectation that even Shen Qian felt the pressure.
The importance of the two leaders, coupled with his multiple identities as the national martial arts champion, a seven-star alchemy master, and an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Today's Shen Qian is no longer the young boy who was at the mercy of the Martial Arts Department.
But... today's situation is a bit abnormal.
After calming down, Shen Qian was not in a hurry to argue. He wanted to see where the "demon" behind the incident was.
The dangers on the surface are never scary, the invisible masterminds behind the scenes are what really need to be guarded against.
Could it be Duke Tianning or Duke Yanshan?
It is definitely not something that ordinary people can achieve by allowing the investigators from three ministries and one division, and so many powerful figures, to reach a certain tacit understanding of attitude.
"Yes." Shen Qian replied calmly.
"Then did you lose your freedom of movement on the day you disappeared?"
Zhou Changhe was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Shen Qian's attitude to calm down so quickly, but he quickly continued to ask.
"No."
"Have you ever encountered coercion or potential threats from powerful people?"
"No."
"Have any of your loved ones passed away?"
"No."
"Then have you encountered an unexpected situation that may cause a disaster?"
"No."
"Then are you..."
"..."
Zhou Changhe asked Shen Qian a dozen questions in a row.
Shen Qian silently counted, which corresponded to all the exceptions stipulated in military discipline laws.
Just like Shen Qian's guess, Zhou Changhe did not leave any room for Shen Qian to defend himself.
Theoretically, after these exceptions are eliminated, as long as the behavior is consistent, it can be directly convicted.
"According to the inquiry, Shen Qian's behavior does not meet any of the exceptions. Since Shen Qian has admitted to leaving his post without authorization, he is guilty. Do you agree?"
Sure enough, Zhou Changhe announced the result directly and looked to the left and right.
"Agree."
"Second."
Twelve people on the left and right spoke one after another, but no one raised any objection.
...Have I been directly abandoned by the human race’s top brass?
Shen Qian's confusion deepened.
Even if Duke Tianning and Duke Yanshan are targeting him, are the other princes blind?
This is unscientific!
"In this case, I declare that... Shen Qian will be expelled from the military martial arts school, and at the same time, his military status will be transferred to the Northeast Hulao Army. From now on, he will be permanently stationed in the restricted area to open up wasteland, and he will not be allowed to leave within three years."
Zhou Changhe spoke very fast, took out a punishment notice from the military department and read out.
Shen Qian raised his eyebrows.
He was actually fired directly... This surprised Shen Qian.
He originally thought that at most he would be on probation or something.
In addition, Shen Qian did not know the Hulao Army far away in the northeast, but he knew what the restricted area land reclamation troops were doing.
That is the most difficult sequence among military warriors.
They stay in the restricted area all year round and are responsible for developing and guarding energy, minerals, land and other resources needed by the human race.
It is not only dangerous, but also extremely difficult.
It is the only order among military warriors that can be easily entered without relying on connections. The defection rate is extremely high, and it is also one of the sources of scavengers.
There is a legal judgment among the human race called "Exile Restricted Area". The family of Zhao Xin, the former director of the Jingcheng Martial Arts Bureau, met this end.
Exile to the restricted area is actually exile to the land reclamation army.
This kind of punishment is very serious and weird.
Because Zhou Changhe’s decision on punishment was clearly prepared long ago.
This also confirmed Shen Qian's guess that he had already planned it.
The only thing that puzzled Shen Qian was that Jiang Zhongjun also had land reclamation troops, so why should he be sent to the Northeast?
Shen Qian was about to speak desperately, but someone was faster than him.
"Haha, Director Zhou, isn't this punishment appropriate?"
A middle-aged man from the martial arts club said with a smile.
Shen Qian glanced at his nameplate. The middle-aged man was Yi Mingshan, the deputy director of the Legal Department of the Ministry of Martial Arts.
"What objections does Director Yi have?"
Zhou Changhe said calmly.
"I have no objection to Shen Qian's guilt, but expulsion from school is not enough as a punishment, right?"
Yi Mingshan smiled lightly and said, "This incident has had a bad impact on society. Many people say that just because Shen Qian is the top martial arts scholar in the country, he can do whatever he wants. This has greatly damaged the principle of strict discipline to some extent." The image of a famous military warrior..."
"In order to set the record straight, I propose to directly expel Shen Qian from the military."
Shen Qian raised his head in shock.
He originally thought that Yi Mingshan was asking for mercy on his behalf, but he never expected that the other party thought that the punishment was not severe enough and wanted to strip him of his military status.
“Our Ministry of Education also agrees with Director Yi’s view.”
The young woman from the Department of College Management of the Ministry of Education also spoke calmly.
"The Police and Armed Forces Division seconded the motion." The representative of the Police Armed Forces Division sitting on the edge also briefly expressed his opinion.
Shen Qian's frown deepened.
What the hell is this?
Why do the Ministry of Education and the Department of Police have the same attitude?
"Don't make any mistake. Although we are conducting a joint investigation, we have already determined that our military department took the lead this time. I don't think there is any problem with such a punishment!"
Zhou Changhe's face instantly turned cold.
"Being a leader and being a leader are two different things. Director Zhou, I think we should think about it again." Yi Mingshan's tone also became cold.
"There's nothing to consider, I've made up my mind!" Zhou Changhe said forcefully.
"Director Zhou, I represent the Martial Arts Department. You'd better consider the consequences of going your own way!" Yi Mingshan said angrily.
When the two were arguing, Shen Qian only felt a little ridiculous.
According to the information Yu Shousi gave him, Zhou Changhe should be the most difficult person to talk to.
But in this situation, Zhou Changhe was protecting him, while the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Martial Arts wanted to "kill him."
...Although the consequences of being exiled to the restricted area are not much better.
"Directors, can you listen to me?"
Shen Qian didn't want to wait any longer, so he took a deep breath and said.
But no one paid attention to him. At this time, the argument between Zhou Changhe and Yi Mingshan became more and more intense, and both of them could no longer control their momentum.
"Director Zhou, Director Yi, is it possible that I don't even have the right to say a word?"
Shen Qian raised his voice a little.
"Wait a minute." Zhou Changhe glanced at Shen Qian indifferently, and then turned his attention to Yi Mingshan, who was at war with him, "Yi Mingshan, I have reported this matter to the senior military officials in advance, even if you all It’s useless not to agree.”
"According to the ranking of the nine divisions, our martial arts club is above your military department. Is it possible that the opinions of our martial arts club can be ignored?"
Yi Mingshan sneered again and again, not giving in at all.
"You..."
"Enough!"
A loud shout suddenly silenced the small auditorium.
The thirteen people on the high seat were all briefly stunned, and then they all cast their gazes down.
The young man standing there also raised his head and said coldly in a slow tone: "When will I need you to talk about the fate of Shen Qian?"
You can hear a needle drop instantly in the small auditorium.
Thirteen powerful men from mountains and seas were all silent for a moment.
They were not shocked by Shen Qian, but they just couldn't react at all for a while.
"Shen Qian, do you know what you are talking about?"
Zhou Changhe, who was the first to recover, stared at Shen Qian and said coldly.
"Of course I know." Shen Qian looked directly at Zhou Changhe, his eyes not flinching at all, "I can repeat it again, you... are not qualified to decide my future and destiny, Shen Qian!"
Shen Qian's idea is very simple.
Since you can’t clearly see what kind of game this is, then... whatever the hell it is!
Then let’s make a fuss.
He would like to see what kind of medicines are being sold by the big guys behind the faces of these halls.
"What an arrogant and domineering champion!"
Dang!
Zhou Changhe sneered and stood up suddenly, the chair under his feet shaking violently.
"It seems that some of my expectations are still too high."
Zhou Changhe said coldly, "I left my post without permission, and now I have a Roaring Dharma Hall with no superiors... Shen Qian, how many more surprises do you want to give me?"
"Surprise?" Shen Qian smiled, "Today's events are a 'surprise' for me. I'm so stubborn that I can't even give me a chance to explain. Is this the so-called director of the military department? You disappointed me too."
Hiss...
There was a gasp of air in the small auditorium.
Although Yi Mingshan and others had some inner thoughts of "just watching the excitement is not too big a deal", Shen Qian's attitude was so tough, which was beyond their expectations.
Zhou Changhe has never been a good-tempered person!
Zhou Changhe, who had kept a sullen face from beginning to end, smiled.
"Your explanation is not important to me... From a certain perspective, neither is you now."
The words fell.
Zhou Changhe suddenly disappeared on the spot.
Yi Mingshan and others all shook their heads.
Although it was impossible for Zhou Changhe to really kill Shen Qian on the spot, Shen Qian would inevitably suffer a lot.
But the next moment, a scene that shocked all of them appeared.
Boom!
With a shocking collision, a figure flew back, it was Zhou Changhe whose sleeves were torn off and his face was filled with astonishment.
Dong dong dong...
After Zhou Changhe landed, he staggered back a few steps before finally regaining his balance.
But no one paid attention to Zhou Changhe at this time.
Everyone's eyes fell on the young man who was still standing there.
A terrifying aura, like a long river running through the sun, like the roar of the waves, like the giant tree reaching into the sky, was rising from the young man, like a dazzling sun, making them tremble slightly.
They are familiar with this momentum.
That is exclusive to a certain realm, exclusive to them.
They are so strange.
Because this momentum comes from a boy who is only 18 years old.
How outrageous this is!
Zhou Changhe's breathing became rapid, and he subconsciously shouted out the two words that shocked everyone's hearts.
