Chapter 144 My name is Zhang Wei
The leaders of Tianhua City sat in front of the Taoist priest and told him earnestly that the fact that the dragon had destroyed the entire Huayuan Temple would have too great an impact on the outside world.

It is even more influential than ordinary terrorist attacks and causes such a terrible impact.

Although it has nothing to do with the Heavenly Master on the surface, the dragon was resurrected by the Heavenly Master after all. Who could believe that it has nothing to do with him?

Although it was the bald monks at Huayuan Temple who first provoked Longhu Mountain and Longhu Tianshi, the impact of their actions this time was indeed too bad.

They need to give an explanation to the public and also give the public enough sense of security.

After all, everyone now knows that the dragon is now following the Heavenly Master and is under his command.

If we let the Heavenly Master escape unscathed this time and let him go back without paying any price, people will inevitably become panic-stricken in the future.

After all, no one knows what the Heavenly Master will instigate the dragon to do next.

If this continues without punishment, it will be difficult to lead the team.

So the leaders of Tianhua City discussed with the Heavenly Master, how about you stay in for a few days? Just as a favor.

The authorities also need to establish credibility, so by sending the Taoist priest to stay there for a few days, they are also conveying a message to the outside world.

That is, the authorities can still restrain Zhang Xuanqing. Even if Zhang Xuanqing was not responsible for this incident personally, he is behind it, so he will also receive certain punishment.

After Zhang Xuanqing went in this time, it was equivalent to giving the outside world a reassurance, letting them know that the Heavenly Master would not use the dragon to mess around after this incident.

When these leaders said this, they were actually a little nervous.

After all, they had watched the entire process of the dragon's destructive power through live broadcast.

The power of the current Dragon and Tiger Master is unfathomable.

Even they don't want to stand against the Heavenly Master, but now they don't know whether the Heavenly Master can be reasonable and cooperate.

Fortunately, Zhang Xuanqing is not an unreasonable person.

First, he has to give official face.

Second, the adverse impact caused by this incident is indeed great.

Huayuan Temple deserved to be damned, but the officials and the people were innocent. Although Zhang Xuanqing had gone astray, he did not want to cause panic among the people, as it would not do him any good.

Zhang Xuanqing thought about the suggestions put forward by the leadership team and found that there seemed to be no problem.

I'm just staying there for two days, so I'll just consider it as a courtesy to the authorities.

Just treat it as a place to retreat for a few days.

Zhang Xuanqing said: "Alright, I will follow your arrangements."

The leaders breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the Taoist priest agreed to stay in for two days.

It would be great if the Heavenly Master could be reasonable.

After briefly completing some interrogation records, Zhang Xuanqing stood up and asked them where they were staying tonight.
These official personnel have already been arranged for Zhang Xuanqing.

The subsequent conviction will have to be made by the court. Ordinary criminals would be sent to the detention center at this point, but it was obviously impossible to send Tianshi to the detention center, so they arranged a room in advance for Tianshi to rest here tonight.

Zhang Xuanqing stayed in the police station for two days.

During the journey, Taoist Master Xuanming called from Longhu Mountain. They followed the Taoist's instructions and returned to Longhu Mountain the next day.

It seems that Tianshi hasn't returned for two days, and there is no news from Tianhua City.

So he asked the Heavenly Master about the situation.
After Zhang Xuanqing answered the phone, he told them the official way of handling the matter.

He might have to stay here for a few days so that they don't have to worry. He will go back naturally once the matter is resolved.

After hearing this, Taoist Master Xuanming also expressed his understanding.

After all, what Tianshi did in Tianhua City this time was indeed a bit beyond the standard, and the officials also have to save face, so it is not excessive to keep him in detention for a few days.

However, the authorities are also willing to protect Tianshi, so he won’t be able to stay here for long.

Moreover, since the Heavenly Master is in jail, Taoist Xuanming doesn't have to worry about the problem of bullying.

It's a blessing that the Taoist priest doesn't bully other criminals in there. Who dares to bully him?

After understanding the situation on the Heavenly Master's side, Taoist Xuanming hung up the phone.

Zhang Xuanqing stayed in the bureau for two days. On the third day, the leaders of the bureau came to see Zhang Xuanqing.

It means that the court procedures have been completed and the Taoist priest just needs to go through the formalities in the court.

Zhang Xuanqing nodded, and then he and the police officers set off for Tianhua City Court.

The official announcement of the trial of Tianshi in front of the court had been made in advance.

Now everyone outside knows about it and it’s causing a lot of uproar.

Many bloggers and reporters who heard the news were waiting here in advance. They knew that today was the day the court opened, and they wanted to enter the internal live broadcast after the court opened.

The authorities also tacitly approved the live broadcast of the court session.

After all, today's show was meant to be performed for the public.

Tianshi arrived at the court in a police car and entered the court under the escort of several official police officers.

Before entering the court, a group of reporters gathered around and wanted to interview the Taoist priest.

Reporter: "Tianshi, what do you think about this incident? Isn't your action of destroying Huayuan Temple a bit extreme?"

Zhang Xuanqing: "Blessings and blessings to you, I regret my impulsive behavior in going to Huayuan Temple to challenge you, and I am willing to bear all legal responsibilities for what I have done.

But I don't agree with your next question. What does the destruction of Huayuan Temple have to do with me? Let's put it one thing at a time. The destruction of Huayuan Temple was because they offended that dragon. It has nothing to do with me."

Zhang Xuanqing gave the authorities a lot of face.

Facing the reporters and the camera in the live broadcast room, he confessed directly in front of the camera, regretting his impulsive behavior and going to Huayuan Temple to challenge.

And are willing to bear all legal responsibilities.

This attitude was very good, and the leaders who were watching the live broadcast in the Municipal Bureau nodded repeatedly.

This is exactly the attitude they want, and the Heavenly Master is still giving them face.

But when these leaders read the second half of the sentence, they just shook their heads.

The Taoist priest is still stubborn.

Don't ask, it has nothing to do with him.

Reporter: "Master Tian, ​​what do you think of today's trial? Are you confident?"

Zhang Xuanqing: "To be honest, I have no confidence in today's trial, because I know I am wrong, so I am willing to accept the punishment."

Zhang Xuanqing had a good attitude. After answering the questions, he went straight into the court.

……

Half an hour later,

The trial begins.

The judge and lawyers entered the scene.

The presiding judge walked onto the stage, looked around the audience, and then dropped the gavel.

"The court session is about to begin. Please keep quiet!"

The recorder stood up and read out the court rules.

"Now let's start reading out the court rules!
According to official regulations, parties to the lawsuit should abide by court rules and refrain from making noise or causing a disturbance.

Speeches, statements and debates must be approved by the presiding judge.

Spectators must abide by the following disciplines: 1. Do not record, videotape, or take photos of the court proceedings without permission, or use mobile communication tools to broadcast the court proceedings; 2. Do not walk around or enter the trial area at will; 3. Do not speak or ask questions..."

After the court rules were all read out, the recorder said, "The reading is complete. The court is ready. Now, everyone stand up!"

Everybody stood up.

Then, the chief judge dropped the hammer.

"This trial is officially open."

"Everyone please take a seat!"

As the presiding judge brought down his hammer.

Everyone sat down and the trial officially began.

Because this was an open trial with official approval, many reporters and bloggers set up live cameras inside the courtroom.

Their live broadcast room was also packed with viewers, who had heard the news of Tianshi's arrest two days ago.

They originally thought that the authorities would not make things difficult for Tianshi and would release him that night after arresting him. However, to their surprise, Tianshi was detained.

Yesterday, news came out that the authorities are about to sue Tianshi, saying that Tianshi has violated the law. A court trial will be held today to prosecute Tianshi.

This even surprised these netizens, because they did not expect the authorities to be so serious this time.

At this moment, as the presiding judge brought down the gavel to begin the trial, the audience watching the live broadcast also became excited.

"Here it comes, it's about to begin. This is probably the most exciting lawsuit this year."

"It's really exciting that the government is prosecuting Dragon Tiger Heavenly Master! But I don't know what crime they will accuse the Heavenly Master of. Will they really put him in jail?"

"I remember that this seemed to be the second time that Tianshi was sued in court. The first time was when that group of fairies jointly sued Tianshi. As a result, the three parties who sued Tianshi last time were all turned from plaintiffs to defendants by Tianshi."

"It shouldn't be so outrageous this time. After all, it was the Heavenly Master who beat people and destroyed the entire Huayuan Temple. Logically, it was indeed the Heavenly Master's fault."

"Let's see what the court says. I want to know what crime the authorities are charging the Heavenly Master with."

……

There was a lot of chatter in the live broadcast room, and the comments were flooded with comments.

While they were scrolling through the comments, the trial began.

The presiding judge first announced Zhang Xuanqing's identity, as well as the basic circumstances of the case as reported to the court by the authorities and the time when the case occurred.

Basic information of the case: On August 8, Zhang Xuanqing flew to Tianhua City overnight on Dragon Airlines flight 7, and then went to Huayuan Temple to provoke trouble.

He beat and injured nine martial monks in Huayuan Temple and three monks from the Dharma Temple in Huayuan Temple, causing them serious injuries.

The presiding judge said: The municipal bureau and the court integrated the evidence and prosecuted Tianshi for intentional injury and provoking disturbances.

The charges against Zhang Xuanqing were: seriously injuring the monks of Huayuan Temple and damaging public property.

Hear the presiding judge read out the official charges.

The reporters and audience watching the live broadcast below were all dumbfounded.

"Hahahaha, just as I expected, the authorities don't really want to sue Tianshi, they are just going through the motions."

"If they really wanted to prosecute, they wouldn't charge them with such a crime. They should just give an explanation to the public and show their attitude."

"My goodness, this crime is too light. The entire Huayuan Temple is gone, and you only accuse him of provoking trouble. 6666!"

"Tianxiu! Even if he pleads guilty to these charges, he won't be in jail for many days, hahahaha."

Many netizens have seen that the authorities do not want to sue Tianshi at all, they are just going through the motions.

The presiding judge has just finished reading out the official charges against Tianshi.

The next second, a plaintiff's lawyer stood up in the plaintiff's seat.

The presiding judge was stunned.

Today's trial is an official one to convict Tianshi.

Logically speaking, there should be no plaintiff's lawyer when the official lawsuit is filed against Tianshi. Where did this plaintiff's lawyer come from?

The plaintiff's lawyer said: "Your Honor, I submitted a trial application to your court last night, and the trial application was approved at 8 o'clock this morning.

My clients are the abbots of the three major Buddhist temples, Tianlong Temple, Famen Temple, and Jinguang Temple. They jointly hired me to sue the defendant Zhang Xuanqing for intentional homicide, incitement to homicide, and serial murder resulting in the extermination of an entire family.

This is the material we provided.”

The plaintiff's lawyer was actually hired by one of the three major Buddhist temples, and he submitted a trial application to the court last night, requesting that the case be handled together with today's trial.

After all, they are the same defendant.

Seeing this scene, the presiding judge frowned.

Because the leaders of Tianhua City had already informed him about this matter, and Tianshi's side was just going through the motions. It had already been discussed with Tianshi.

It would have been fine if he just acknowledged these minor matters, but he never expected that someone would intervene in the middle and directly sue the Taoist priest at this time.

This is going to be difficult.

The key point is that now that someone has filed an appeal and the court has approved it, we have no choice but to accept it.

The presiding judge looked at the information provided by the plaintiff's lawyer.

The other party was indeed well prepared and wanted to prosecute Longhu Tianshi for serious crimes of intentional homicide, incitement to homicide and serial killing resulting in the extermination of an entire family.

If these charges are proven, you will be punished by having peanuts eaten.

It seems that this time, Buddhism is serious.

In the live broadcast room, many viewers were stunned.

"Fuck, this guy, someone shows up unexpectedly?"

"I thought this was just a formality, but I didn't expect the Buddhists to be well prepared and waiting for the Heavenly Master here?"

"Tianlong Temple, Famen Temple, and Jinguang Temple are all famous Buddhist temples, and they have a good relationship with Huayuan Temple. Now that Huayuan Temple is in trouble, it is reasonable for the three of them to jointly sue Tianshi."

"It all depends on how the Heavenly Master responds."

No one expected that the Buddhists would suddenly file a lawsuit.

But this is indeed reasonable and legal behavior, and the court must accept it.

The presiding judge looked at the information provided by the plaintiff's lawyer, then he looked up at Zhang Xuanqing.

The presiding judge asked: "Defendant, the plaintiff now accuses you of intentional homicide, abetting homicide, and serial homicide resulting in the extermination of an entire family. Do you have any objection to these charges?"

There was a lawyer sitting next to Zhang Xuanqing at this moment.

This is just a lawyer randomly found by the government.

After all, today's official prosecution of Zhang Xuanqing had already been discussed beforehand, it was just a matter of going through the process, and no one expected that Buddhism would intervene at this time.

So no one cared and just hired a defendant's defense lawyer.

Now that such a big thing has suddenly happened, Zhang Xuanqing's lawyer is stunned.

He had not made any preparations in advance and was still thinking about how to respond.

At this moment, a person in the audience in the courtroom raised his hand, stood up and said: "Judge, I request to change lawyers. I am a member of the professional lawyer team hired by the defendant Zhang Xuanqing. Here are my credentials.

Because of some unexpected circumstances during the trial, I requested to defend my client. ”

"My name is Zhang Wei."

Zhang Xuanqing turned his head and took a look.

Zhang Wei?

When did this kid run to Tianhua City?
