Darkness is Coming

  In the Banshan Manor, Yu Qian slammed his mobile phone against the wall. The customized smartphone was of good quality, plus the protection of the outsourced mobile phone case. After hitting the wall, it fell to the ground, but it was not damaged at all.

  Yu Qian stared at the phone on the ground, and suddenly the fuselage was twisted and bent, turning into a piece of scrap iron.

  Sun Yiming, the housekeeper of Banshan Manor, stood by, silent, and it has not been a long time since the Speaker made such a fire. Sun Yiming was originally just a little-known character. He was a talker in a small independent settlement in Yuanjiang. In the eyes of ordinary people, he was majestic, but among the Awakened, he was only a low-level person. This identity was not changed until the decisive battle at the southern city gate of Xinyuan. After the Speaker was in a coma with a shocking sword, Sun Yiming was the first to rush out, resisting the corpse tide, and escorted the Speaker out of the dangerous area with the rest of the Awakened.

   These awakened people later became Yu Qian's cronies. Whether they wanted to or not, in the eyes of others, they were deeply branded as the Speaker. And Sun Yiming became Yu Qian's manor housekeeper. He didn't seem to hold real power, but in fact, the emperor was near, the center of power, and Yu Qian's most trusted confidant.

  Yu Qian looked at the pile of scrap metal on the ground, and suddenly felt a little funny, how could he be so angry after arguing with that guy Yang Xiaoqian? The dignified chairman of the Fire Passer Council threw his phone like a child in a fit of anger. If outsiders saw it, it would be ridiculous.

   cleared his throat, Yu Qian called out, "Sun Yiming."

   "Speaker." Sun Yiming bowed his head and stepped forward, waiting for Yu Qian's order.

   "Has the trial team arrived?" Yu Qian asked.

The Fire Passers Council has just enacted the Awakeners Act. The entire Fire Passers Council could not find any Awakeners who used to work in the legal industry, so they could only temporarily vacate the position of adjudicating judges. The Awakened who committed the crime are judged.

There are seven people in the trial team. After being elected, they cannot leave the Awakened Court for life. This means that they will not enter the Inner House, the Outer House, the President’s Cabinet or other departments in the future, so they don’t have to give anyone face After the judiciary is truly independent, they will have supreme authority.

  Sun Yiming looked at his watch, pressed his bluetooth headset and asked a few more questions. After hearing the reply, his expression lifted, and he replied, "Speaker, the seven judges of the trial team have arrived, just outside the door."

   "Let them come in immediately." Yu Qian waved impatiently, not wanting to waste even a minute or a second.

"Yes."

  Sun Yiming held down his earphone and said something, and the door of Banshan Manor opened immediately. Four Land Cruisers flashed their flashing lights to clear the way, escorting two Toyota Coasters into Banshan Manor. The seven judges representing the Court of the Awakened hurriedly got out of the car, and when they arrived at the reception room, they saw Yu Qian who had been waiting for a long time.

   "Your Excellency the Speaker." The seven judges nodded to Yu Qian with a neither humble nor arrogant attitude.

  Yu Qian raised his hand and said, "There's not much time, let's ignore the red tape, skip the unnecessary procedures, and start the trial directly."

   After the seven judges made eye contact with each other, the judge standing in the middle stepped forward and said, "We have already learned about the general situation on the way, but... Speaker, the criminal is not here, how can we open the court?"

Yu Qian expected the judge's response, and immediately said: "The parliament has given you a sacred duty and mission, and you must dare to take responsibility when necessary. If you dare not act and leave the judicial power to the secular judicial organs, you will not Do you feel ashamed of the court, ashamed of the parliament, ashamed of the oath you made!"

The seven judges looked at each other and didn't know how to answer. Yu Qian didn't give them time to think, and continued to say loudly: "According to the supplementary regulations of the special act, the court of the awakened has the right to judge criminals while they are at large, and the parliamentary Send out a fugitive team to punish the criminals according to the court's judgment. Now there is an awakened fugitive named Cao Xin in Nandu, who raped and killed innocent girls. The crime is extremely heinous. As the speaker of the parliament, I order the seven of you to represent the court immediately. , to pronounce on his guilt!"

Yu Qian expressed his meaning very clearly: Cao Xin is in the hands of the secular judicial organs, not the parliament, so he will be regarded as a fugitive, and his guilt will be pronounced according to the supplementary regulations, and then the parliament will act directly. In this way, Cao Xin has never been investigated and tried by secular judicial organs.

  Through this matter, Yu Qian wants to announce to all the awakened people and the whole world: any awakened person will be above the world, and the affairs of the awakened person can only be managed by the awakened person!

  Although the Court of the Awakened should maintain judicial independence, but that is the future after all. Now the entire court is composed of these seven judges, and it does not have the strength to compete with the Speaker's Chamber. Besides, this is to eliminate harm for the people, and it does not violate conscience, so the judges have no objection.

   Thus, the first trial of the Awakened Court began.

   After completing the necessary procedures in two minutes, the seven arms were raised high, and the trial team unanimously decided that Cao Xin, the awakened, was guilty!

"According to Article 7 of the Awakened Persons Act, whoever deprives another person of his life by violent means without being violated shall be convicted of intentional homicide, and shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than 20 years for the lesser circumstances, and life imprisonment for the serious circumstances. Imprisonment. For this case, I recommend the sentencing: death penalty!" The judge who had spoken to Yu Qian earlier held the Awakened Act, and a cluster of gilded flames shone on the dark cover.

According to the original intention of the framers of the bill, in general, no matter what crime the awakened person commits, unless he betrays parliament or commits a crime against humanity, the death penalty will not be imposed, because each awakened person is a precious resource and may be later Play an unexpected role in times of crisis.

But this time, Speaker Yu's suggestion was obvious: since the person can't be snatched into his hands, let him die outside, and never let him live to be tried by the country's legal organs, so the quick-witted judge proposed that the punishment be the death penalty. .

   This time the voting was not as neat as before. Although the judges were not divided into camps, they also had their own concepts and ideas. Different people viewed the same issue from different angles, and the results they came to would be completely different.

   "I don't agree. Cao Xin is not guilty of death. I suggest that the sentence be made in accordance with the Awakened Act. Considering the seriousness of Cao Xin's crime, the proposed sentence: life imprisonment." A judge immediately voted against.

   "I agree, we must act as an example to act as a deterrent, and completely eliminate the possibility of similar cases from happening again!"

"Seconded."

"I object."

"I object."

   With three votes in favor and three against, Yu Qian narrowed his eyes and looked at the last judge who did not speak.

   In order to avoid an endless stalemate in the judgment, the judges cannot abstain when deciding the sentence, and a tie is impossible for the voting results of the seven judges.

   The last person raised his hand tremblingly. He knew that his frivolous move would likely trigger a series of major events and have far-reaching effects, and perhaps his name would be mentioned in the history books of later generations.

   "I...I agree with..."

   "According to the results of the court's judgment, the awakened Cao Xin was sentenced to death and executed immediately!"

   Before he finished speaking, Yu Qian's figure had disappeared.
