Chapter 141: Daoist Forbidden Art

Wenzhou Fish didn't understand, but he knew a little.

Just recently, that epiphany outside the hall in the small plaza let him feel what extraordinary power was.

Not just him alone, but everyone who was practicing the Five Animals Guiding Technique in that small plaza outside the hall just now — they are all no longer ordinary people.

The mess on the ground right now has already explained the situation.

The concrete ground poured ten-plus centimeters thick with cement, sand, and stone — who knows if it can take a tank, but trucks are definitely no problem.

But now, that ground has been stomped into several dozen foot-print-sized pits by these nearly fifty people having epiphanies and training.

Is this something ordinary people could do?

On top of that, just now he tried his own strength and had a clear idea in his heart.

It's very obvious — this is the starting point of the extraordinary path for all of them.

And Chen Yaozu is the teacher who led everyone onto the extraordinary path; since he said what they're doing now concerns the future path, even if knives fell from the sky they'd have to do it well.

Just as Wenzhou Fish understood Chen Yaozu's thoughts and went to warn the others, Tian Erdai couldn't wait and directly called his dad.

His dad wasn't home now; before dawn he was already sitting in a small conference room.

Several people sat beside him, discussing the matter of a newly built Ming Dynasty yamen across the ocean — a topic slightly bizarre.

Everyone's phones in the room had been collected, except Lao Tian's — after all, his phone would still need to contact Tian Erdai or wait for Tian Erdai to contact him later.

This phone was sitting right on the table!

Suddenly the phone vibrated.

Lao Tian took a look — sure enough, it was his own son — so he nodded at the person in the main seat.

The person in the main seat took a look, waved a hand, and the entire conference room fell instantly silent, all eyes on Lao Tian.

Lao Tian put it on speaker: "Ritian, so urgent — what's the situation?"

It was very obvious — his son calling so urgently meant something unexpected had definitely happened again.

Otherwise, by normal procedure, his son should have waited until they discussed countermeasures here before notifying him.

Sure enough, after he asked, Tian Erdai on the phone hurriedly spoke up.

"Dad, I need emergency support from a legal professional! Ten thousand fires urgent!"

Lao Tian looked at the person in the main seat, who nodded.

"Good, I'll have someone arrange it urgently for you, but you have to tell me what exactly happened!"

One of the people sitting nearby went out to make arrangements.

The rest all waited for the report from the other end of the phone on what exactly happened.

Tian Erdai hurriedly described the whole scene of what he saw afterward when everyone had epiphanies and trained — each turning into a human pile driver, smashing dozens of large pits into the ten-plus-centimeter-thick concrete with fists and feet.

And also the news about his ghost wife, that she might have a chance in the future to cultivate into a ghost god using official qi — he told his dad that too.

Incidentally, at the fastest speed, he narrated the wondrous feeling of becoming a litigation master even though he didn't become an official of that Great Ming Pacification Commissioner Office — he told it all.

Also said he had to serve as defense lawyer for those few old Mo, and now requested a one-hour recess — he said that too.

And said this was the reason he requested legal professional support.

Once this matter was told, the middle-aged man in the main seat instantly couldn't sit still, stood up abruptly, came to Lao Tian's side and said:

"Comrade Xiao Tian, hello! I'm your father's colleague, my name is Su Ye.

Now I'll ask you a few questions, please answer them.

You just said that Great Ming Pacification Commissioner Office executes domestic criminal law? When they hold court, they also use this as the standard?"

Tian Erdai was a bit dumbfounded — he was a compound kid, of course he knew who Su Ye was! Never expected his dad would actually get him involved in the middle of the night.

"Hello, Uncle Su……"

……One hour passed quickly.

Court reconvened; all the yamen runners who had been warned by Wenzhou Fish all perked up, handling this yamen's first case.

Six old Mo were brought up, entering the defendant's dock.

At the start, before Wenzhou Fish could speak, Tian Erdai had already seized the initiative.

"Lord Pacification Commissioner, please allow me to raise an objection — the prosecutor's procedure is incorrect, illegal, bringing injustice to my client.

I request this trial be adjourned; when the prosecutor's procedure is corrected, then come prosecute my client."

Wenzhou Fish was instantly dumbfounded — he didn't know jack about procedure; these Easterners' way of understanding ancient yamen case procedures was Hong Kong movies.

Grab the person, a few dozen heavy boards on the main hall — still afraid they won't confess? That's called the Great Memory Recovery Technique!

But this yamen, though a Ming Dynasty yamen, executes current Eastern law.

So this trial, the moment Tian Erdai opened his mouth he seized the upper hand, or practically declared victory outright.

This work is organized and uploaded~~

"Lord Pacification Commissioner, it's like this — according to the Eastern Criminal Code provisions.

Prosecuting a suspect requires the following procedures: constables and magistrates must investigate clearly and grasp evidence before they can prosecute.

Investigation is: after reviewing leads from reports, accusations, tips, surrenders, etc., if criminal facts needing criminal liability are found, a case is filed.

After filing, constables should adopt measures such as questioning, interrogation, search, seizure, appraisal, etc., to comprehensively and objectively collect evidence.

These and so on……

But the constables, though they said they caught the tools and property my client carried for the crime, did not conduct questioning or transcripts, nor appraisal, etc.

They couldn't even produce a single confession record.

Just this procedure alone is wrong, so the current court session does not comply with legal procedure.

Therefore, I request adjournment — when the prosecutor has completed supplementing all procedures, then reconvene."

In his heart he recalled that sentence from his dad's colleague on the phone: 【This is just a makeshift crew, look anywhere and there are flaws; helping my big nephew establish authority is a piece of cake.

First stall for time, then find this case's flaws — the sentence can't be escaped, but life imprisonment isn't inevitable either.】

Wenzhou Yu now wants to throw down his indictment, take back his knife, and go hack and slash!

This kind of work for cultured people doesn't suit him at all! How stifling!

This thief, openly carrying a gun and driving a car in to steal tens of thousands of dollars worth of property, how come once in court he insists on procedures? Not just him, others feel stifled too, except Zhou Jiping and Li Jianguo.

Although they don't know why Chen Yaozu insists on these procedures, since he insists, there must be his reasons and logic.

So they didn't speak up, waiting for Chen Yaozu's decision.

Don't know if it's an illusion, but when they looked at Chen Yaozu, they seemed to see golden light emitting from his eyes.

Chen Yaozu himself doesn't know if there's golden light in his eyes, but he seemed to see faint Qi Luck gathering above his Official Seal.

This explains that Tian Erdai's objection actually obtained the Yamen Qi Luck's recognition.

That is to say, even the Yamen Qi Luck feels his raised opinion is correct.

Since that's the case, then let's do it! "Agree to defense counsel's request, this case is adjourned for further handling.

Wenzhou Blackjack Shi, when you complete all procedures, that's when this case can reopen for trial."

Chen Yaozu patted the gavel once, announcing court adjourned.

【Congratulations, first day presiding over court, did not lose impartiality, did not exceed legal bounds, this is Great Goodness.

The Ancestral Master once left a Dragon Tiger Mountain Daoist forbidden art "Support Dragon", suitable to reward you now, willing to learn it?】

【Tonight's activities were a bit many, just came back now, still that saying, if not ten thousand characters, tonight no sleep, still have seven thousand eight now, hahahaha】
