Full-time Creation Master

After a short rest, the trial team immediately headed to their next destination—DX City.

DX City, Guaizi Township.

Provisional court,

The atmosphere was heavy and oppressive. Zhang Yimin was dressed in the uniform of a judicial officer.

Standing atop the high platform, his expression was stern, his voice resounding throughout the entire trial hall:

"I hereby declare that 23 human traffickers, including Sun, Peng, and Li, have confessed to their crimes of trafficking women and children, and human trafficking. The evidence is conclusive and irrefutable!"

"All of them shall be executed, to be carried out in three days!"

His soul was imprisoned in the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls, sent to the Demon-Suppressing Tower of Mount Shu, where he would suffer the punishment of being burned by soul fire for a thousand years, never to be reincarnated as a human again!

After he finished speaking, the scene fell into dead silence.

The human traffickers were ashen-faced and trembling, their former arrogance completely gone.

Zhang Yimin's gaze was icy as he continued his verdict: "We will investigate all his relatives and friends who knew about the matter but failed to report it, and those who benefited from it, both subjectively and objectively."

Immediately request the central authorities of the Luoshen Temple to provide relevant clues regarding this case.

Simultaneously shipped to various counties and cities in Daxia

The entire Great Xia Dynasty will investigate this matter thoroughly and will show absolutely no leniency!

"Furthermore, the youngest daughter of human trafficker Li (6 years old) has recovered from her previous surgery. Given her young age and ignorance, her lack of involvement in any crimes, and the absence of other relatives to support her, she has been enrolled in the Redeemer Legion preschool to receive a proper education in order to atone for her father's sins."

Just then, his gaze darkened, and his tone suddenly became more serious, carrying an undeniable firmness: "Hmm?"

The appeal against Sun is rejected because, according to the old law, "human traffickers are subject to imprisonment for not less than five years but not more than twenty years!"

"This clause in the old law only applies to special circumstances and must conform to the universal moral bottom line of the people!"

Human trafficking, which destroys families, is an heinous crime, and human traffickers must die!

[Dear readers, I must clarify something here! Don't be misled by certain people in short videos!]

my country already has very strict laws regarding the sentencing of human traffickers.

The death penalty is applied under stricter circumstances, not that the punishment is lenient. Please do not be misled!

Zhang Yimin softened his tone and added, "In this case, all the rescued children..."

The patient will be temporarily treated and cared for jointly by DX City Hospital and Police Department.

Simultaneously, the Luoshen central command is comparing family information nationwide to find the children's biological parents as soon as possible and help them return home.

DX City, Guaizi Township.

This place is far from the city center, and the local customs are closed off.

The makeshift courtroom was set up in an open space in the center of the village, and the crowd of villagers watching was dense.

Instead of condemning the crime, they all had strange expressions.

Su Nan, dressed in a judge's uniform, stood on the high platform as the presiding judge in the case of the kidnapping village. He solemnly read the verdict, each word ringing out firmly:

"Qi and others, with the intent of illegal possession, trafficked women and bought and sold people, violating the wishes of women and restricting the personal freedom of others. Their actions have violated the laws of the Great Xia Dynasty and contravened universal morality..."

This was the first time Su Nan had encountered such an outrageous "accident" as the presiding judge.

The local villagers who were watching listened to him read out the crimes.

Instead of being indignant, they surrounded him, pleading for mercy all at once.

Request for "lenient punishment"

Some even stated that "Qi and others are innocent."

What chilled him even more was that the local guide brought in for the team, a former bureaucrat in his forties, overweight and with an oily face, completely ignored the situation, tried to smooth things over throughout, and even offered excuses:

"Lord Spirit Official, please be lenient with this punishment!"

We're poor here, we had no choice but to buy a relative.

This is a bad custom left over from history; people have been doing it for generations, and nobody knows it's illegal!

"poverty?

Buying a marriage?

Historical legacy?

"Outdated customs?"

Su Nan repeated these words, trembling with anger.

In the end, he laughed instead, his eyes turning cold as he looked at the guide who was still trying to smooth things over.

He once again felt a deep admiration for His Majesty the Xia Emperor.

His Majesty overruled objections and replaced the old bureaucrats at the grassroots level with university graduates, carrying out a complete overhaul.

Looking back now, it was absolutely brilliant!

Otherwise, these corrupt old practices and bureaucrats,

They will only continue to harm the people and trample on the law.

"Alright!" Su Nan suppressed her anger and quietly walked to Zhang Yimin's side. The two huddled together and whispered in each other's ears for a moment.

They reached an agreement through eye contact.

A determined look appeared on their faces. They then separated and returned to their respective positions.

Upon returning to the high platform, Su Nan's expression turned completely cold.

With unwavering impartiality and a resolute tone, he loudly announced the final punishment:

"I hereby declare that the entire Qi family has committed the crimes of human trafficking, violating women's will, and restricting personal freedom. The circumstances are egregious and the impact extremely negative. They are all to be conscripted into the Redeemer Legion's Death Sin Camp to receive the most severe punishment, as a warning to others!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the villagers erupted in an uproar.

Some people looked angry.

Some people shouted that they would rush onto the stage, and the scene briefly got out of control.

Su Nan's sharp gaze swept over the chaotic crowd as he continued to loudly proclaim his verdict: "I hereby declare that the government of Guaizi Township, DX City..."

Disregarding the law and condoning bad customs

Harboring criminals demonstrates a loss of basic administrative capacity.

The possibility of complete corruption cannot be ruled out!

"Now, we earnestly request the Luoshen Central Management to immediately implement special measures in accordance with Clause 5.2 of the 'Sinking Ship Agreement'!"

[Meaning of the Sunken Ship Agreement: A thousand sails pass by the sunken ship, and ten thousand trees bloom before the withered tree!]

This agreement applies to solutions for special areas where governing bodies are flawed, corrupt, and unable to fulfill their basic duties, including but not limited to:

Immediately revoke all administrative powers in this area and seal off all offices and premises of all administrative agencies.

[All public officials are wanted across the entire internet; concealment or harboring of them is strictly prohibited.]

[Close all entry and exit points in the area; illegal entry and exit of personnel and goods are strictly prohibited.]

[The right of all citizens (including mages) within the locked-down zone to be informed is authorized.]

Unlimited right of self-defense

and unlimited autonomy

It can be used to deal with criminals and resolutely prevent illegal conscription;

[A ruling center at least two levels higher should immediately assemble an imperial envoy team and a military support force, station them in the region, and take over all affairs;]

[All high-level mages, third-tier warriors, core municipal personnel, and wealthy merchants in the upper-level ruling center of the sealed-off area are immediately prohibited from entering or leaving the area and will be subject to full inspection.]

【……】

"Bang bang bang—!"

Several muffled gunshots instantly shattered the chaos at the scene.

The steel warriors' hearing is comparable to that of someone who can hear a thousand miles away.

I had already clearly heard Su Nan and Zhang Yimin's decision—to burn our bridges and never compromise.

Even if it means going head-to-head, we must uphold the bottom line and eradicate bad customs.

To be fair, aren't college students among the highest caliber?

Therefore, the five steel warriors, who were already on standby at all times and stood tall and straight,

The moment someone in the crowd ignored the warnings and openly broke through the cordon...

Without hesitation, he raised the grenades and pulled the trigger.

It should be noted that before the temporary court was set up, they had repeatedly emphasized that anyone was strictly prohibited from storming the court area without cause, and violators would be dealt with according to the law.

Is it true that the law does not punish the masses?

In the face of the laws of Great Xia, they do not exist!

These brave warriors have a clear conscience; they upheld the dignity of the law.

It is justice for the victims.

This is the order of the Great Xia Dynasty.
