12 noon.
The judgment hall of the ancient temple.
A group of people were staying here, some sitting on the benches, some standing, but all looking at the man standing in the middle of the hall.
It’s not because this person is the most noble person here, on the contrary, he is the most humble here, at least that’s what everyone in Guyou Temple thinks.
Because he is an outsider and a sinner!
The Judgment Hall has always been used to judge those ancient appraisers who have made mistakes and give them relatively fair punishment.
This was the first time it was used to punish outsiders, so it attracted a lot of onlookers, all of whom were curious about the background of the sinner.
After all, he was the first outsider who dared to cause trouble in their territory. Was he stupid? If he wanted to provoke them, he should have done it outside. If he provoked them here, would he still have a chance to survive?
"Hey! I just got here and I don't know anything. Who is he? What crime did he commit?"
A man squeezed into the crowd, looked at the man in the middle with great curiosity, and asked the others.
"His name seems to be Lin Han. I heard that he is the champion of this year's National Treasure Appraisal Competition. The charges are beating three of us and absconding for fear of punishment." A man who had been standing aside for a long time answered.
"Ah? Is the current champion of the National Treasure Appraisal Competition so stupid? Doesn't he know what the consequences will be if he causes trouble on our territory? Or does he have some powerful backer?"
"There is no background." The man crossed his arms over his chest, shook his head and sighed in disappointment.
Because they can all imagine the outcome without any backstage support, so this would definitely be a very boring trial.
This is also what makes people disappointed.
"Then he is really finished." The man felt a little bored after hearing this and had already thought about leaving.
In front of the sinner, there is a high platform with a long table and three chairs on it. Sitting on them, one can look down on the sinner.
It's just like the court in TV dramas.
At this time, the back door opened, and three old men staggered up the stairs and sat down.
“Boom boom boom!”
The old man in the middle picked up the wooden hammer on the table and knocked it three times.
The conference hall was instantly filled with dead silence. No one dared to speak, not even to breathe.
After all, the three old men in front of them were the three elders of the ancient appraisers, the highest authorities and judges.
So they certainly wouldn't dare to do anything outrageous like contempt of court.
"Lin Han!" the old man in the center shouted loudly, his voice full of majesty, and it was obvious that he had been doing this kind of work for a long time.
"Do you admit your guilt?"
“I don’t know!”
Lin Han glanced at the three people with indifference and shook his head.
Of course he didn't know what crime he had committed, and even if he had, he couldn't admit it, otherwise he would give them the opportunity to convict him.
He is not stupid, how could he help others to deal with himself?
But the old man also knew this principle, because the sinners he had judged had always started like this.
So he was not surprised, and continued slowly: "Then I will call the witnesses! Call the witnesses Zhou Yalun, Wang Kai, and Zhang Yuan."
As soon as he finished speaking, three people stood up from the group of people sitting.
And this successfully caught everyone's attention.
And the three of them surprised everyone.
Including Lin Han!
Others didn't know that the three of them were witnesses, so it was understandable that they were surprised to see them injured.
But why was Lin Han surprised?
That's because the injuries of these three people are different from before.
Zhou Yalun's nose was broken, while the other two had broken teeth and at most a broken jaw.
But their situation was not like that. The three of them had plastic collars around their necks, their faces were tightly bandaged, and their hands were in plaster.
In this situation, it looks like someone has been severely beaten.
But Lin Han did not do anything so excessive. He even showed mercy at that time, otherwise they might have all died.
Then they would become like this just to gain sympathy, and then use the serious injuries to give him a more severe punishment!
After all, there are punishments for minor injuries and punishments for serious injuries, and the severity of the two is different.
At this moment, Xiaoxiang also stood up from her position, but on the other side of Lin Han.
She pointed at the three people and said angrily:
"I have objections. Their injuries are fake. They are not injured that seriously!"
"I can also prove that they are pretending to be so harsh on you to punish Lin Han!"
Zhao Hui also stood up and said firmly.
"Nonsense! How could my son frame someone else? This is the actual injury. If you don't believe me, you can ask the doctor!"
"That's right. He dares to be so arrogant after beating someone up. He is really lawless!"
…
As soon as Xiaoxiang Zhao Hui finished speaking, someone on the opposite side stood up immediately.
The three couples look somewhat similar to Zhou Yalun and the other three, so it goes without saying that they are the parents of Zhou Yalun and the others.
Of course, they themselves just said that it was their son.
"You are talking nonsense and are lawless!"
"That's right, is there any law here?"
"Bang!"
Just when the two sides were about to start quarreling and this place was about to become a vegetable market, a loud noise interrupted their quarrel.
Several people turned their heads and looked at the three elders of the Tribunal.
They all looked very ugly, obviously angry, and the man in the middle who was banging the table hard with a wooden hammer to stop them was even more so. His arms, which were full of wrinkles and age spots, were already bulging with veins.
"What do you think this place is? A vegetable market? Zhou Haifu, and the rest of you, all of you, be quiet. When I pass the message to you, then you will have the right to speak!"
The old man glared at the three pairs of parents and they all shut their mouths and sat back reluctantly.
At this time, the old man suddenly turned his head and looked at Xiaoxiang and Zhao Hui.
"You too, this time I won't pursue the matter because you are outsiders and don't understand our rules. If you make a fuss again, I will treat it as contempt of court!"
After hearing this, Zhao Hui and Xiaoxiang sat back very reluctantly, waiting for the old man to continue speaking.
The old man's anger subsided a little when he saw this, and he immediately looked at Zhou Yalun and the other three.
"Zhou Yalun, the three of you tell us what happened before." said the old man.
Zhou Yalun nodded, and then began to briefly describe what had happened before.
They were the ones who picked up Lin Han's golden dragon and jade phoenix carvings, but Lin Han thought they had stolen them, so he attacked them without knowing the truth. It was the appearance of Qin Yu and Qin Xiangcao that made Lin Han stop.
