Chapter 2624: Judgment

"Collect" means to take and collect; "Sheng" refers to raw bodies and raw materials, usually young children with normal development; , or use knives, axes, or other methods to turn him into a strangely shaped and disabled monster to win sympathy and beg, or to make medicine, or to kill people and then dismember them, which is called harvesting in folk superstition. Live the soul, and practice the so-called voodoo technique.

This kind of behavior has a long history in ancient times. It may have been introduced by the nomads from the West through the Huns or even three generations earlier. It may be a kind of primitive totem worship and sacrifice. All dynasties have strictly prohibited it, and it has been listed as one of the heinous crimes, along with treason, disrespect and other crimes.

Originally, when the bhikkhu king ordered the children to be collected, there were loyal people who were dissatisfied. At that time, the king's power could not stop them. Now that Shen Long and the others revealed the true colors of the monsters, these people stood up again.

"Those who collect a huge number of children like this will have to be punished!" The Minister of the Ministry of Punishments led the way, and the Shaoqing of Dali Temple also stood up and bowed down to Shen Long and the others, "Please also ask the holy monk to uphold justice for us!"

"Immortal, what else can you say?" Shen Long looked at the Antarctic Immortal coldly. If this matter were to be discussed, it would be as bad as Shituoling. How could such a monster be let go.

"Elder, my mount is not that brave, he... maybe he was just trying to intimidate." Nanji Xianweng said hesitantly, and he could only do this now.

"Hehe, the Ministry of Criminal Justice always disregards deeds when judging cases. No matter what he thinks in his heart, the matter of harvesting and cutting has already been settled. Even if he has not had time to hurt these children, he can only reduce the crime and change Ling Chi. It’s all for beheading!” Shen Long is also familiar with the ancient laws. Most of the legal provisions in "Journey to the West" were written by Wu Chengen according to the "Law of the Ming Dynasty", and Shen Long was the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. These provisions are clear Chu.

"Therefore, this White Deer Essence should be beheaded at the Meridian Gate to show the public! To comfort the people of the Bhikkhu Kingdom!" Shen Long shouted sharply, "Confiscated the rewards he had received before to compensate the victims. Is it right to judge this case?"

"The holy monk is proficient in the law, so he deserves such a judgment!" The minister of punishment and the young minister of Dali Temple said at the same time, and the rest of the civil and military ministers also echoed.

"Help, help, help!" The white deer kowtowed repeatedly, making Shen Long feel distressed for a while, don't break the antlers, I plan to take them away, and I will kill you when the time comes I have to keep the corpse, deerskin, deer tendon and deer whip, they are all good things! It's time to take it back and cook with the white elephant's elephant.

"Bajie, what are you waiting for? Don't pull him out and cut him off!" Shen Long looked at Zhu Bajie, if you are cowardly at this time, go back to Gao Laozhuang!

"Immortal man, I don't think you will feel comfortable seeing such a scene, why don't my old grandson send you back to Penglai Baiyun Cave!" Sun Wukong stepped forward and said, holding the arm of Antarctic immortal man. He usually loves Hefu and Lu two stars. Playing chess in front of Baiyun Cave, Monkey King went there when he called friends in the Heavenly Court.

"Wukong, Wukong..." Nanji Xianweng wanted to say something, but Sun Wukong directly pulled him away. It was possible to break free from him, but so what? Did you have a confrontation with Sun Wukong and the others? If this spread, it would be too ugly, so Nanji Xianweng was dragged away by Monkey King so reluctantly!

Zhu Bajie had no choice but to borrow the sword from Xiao Bailong, and pulled Bailujing out of the Meridian Gate. Long took the opportunity to take back Bailujing's body,

As for the crutch, Nanji Xianweng had already taken it away.

"Thank you, holy monk, for resolving this disaster for my Bhikkhu country. If I hadn't met the holy monk, I'm afraid I would have been killed by these two monsters sooner or later!" .

The rest of the officials also bowed down one after another, "Thanks to the divine monk for saving our country's children, it's really kind!" The king then ordered Guanglu Temple to arrange a vegetarian banquet, open the east pavilion, and invite Tang monks and others to sit together and thank you.

"Wait a minute!" Shen Long raised his hand to stop them, looked at the king and said, "The white deer spirit and the fox spirit are certainly guilty, so is the king not wrong? As the king of a country, he should love the people, but the king actually intends to collect How can a child take medicine with his heart and soul, and act like this, how can he be worthy of the important responsibility of the king? The white deer spirit and the vixen spirit are still obeying the law, so the king has nothing to say?"

"Holy Monk, there is an old saying that you can't punish a doctor, let alone a king? Your Majesty also didn't notice it for a while, and was confused by the goblin. Now that the goblin has obeyed the law..." At that moment, a minister tried to persuade him.

"The so-called punishment does not go up to the doctor, which means that people above the doctor who break the law should be handed over to the emperor for trial. Physical punishment cannot be imposed. It does not mean that they will not be punished. After they are found guilty, they will be ordered to judge themselves according to their crimes, or they will be killed by the court. ..." If you want to quote the scriptures with Shen Long, it's not Shen Long who is bragging, but the ministers of the Bhikkhu Kingdom are all rubbish, and there is no one who can beat them.

These words made the officials speechless, and it took a long time before someone came out and said, "The theory of the eight opinions is limited to the clan, officials, nobles, etc., but it has no restraint on the king..." The so-called eight opinions mean that the punishment cannot be punished by the officials. The eight categories of people, which do not include the emperor king.

"Even if the king does something illegal, first Yi Yin put Taijia in Tong Palace, and then Huo Guang abolished Liu He, the king of Changyi. From this point of view, as long as the king has no way, he can be abolished!" The good thing is that no matter what you do, you can find a corresponding case. When Shen Long brought out the two matters of Yiyin and Huoguang, everyone in the bhikkhu kingdom was speechless.

The king wanted to ask Habayashi Wei to come up to clean up Shen Long and the others, but when he thought of the magic skills they showed just now, he stopped thinking about it and just stood there silently, hoping that the officials would come out to defend him.

However, what he did before was too hurtful to the hearts of the people, and those flatterers ran out a lot before, and the rest were frightened by Shen Long's power and did not dare to speak, and no one dared to speak for him for a long time.

Shen Long immediately said, "The king cannot inflict punishment with the knife and axe, so the king should lose his hair and become a monk, and send him to a temple to rest and atone for his sins! You can ask the prince to succeed you."

Now the ministers are in good spirits, the merits of supporting him are enough to last him a lifetime, even if the king is the prince's real father, so what? Doesn't the prince want to ascend the throne as soon as possible?

So the officials rushed up and helped the prince to the throne.
