"Trial?"

After hearing these two words, Lin Han was very confused.

Because he didn't know what it meant or what it referred to.

As ancient appraisers, everyone knew what the trial was, but their reactions were violent, like boiling water.

"Letting an outsider participate in the trial? Did Qin Yu's head get caught in the door? Is he crazy?"

"I don't support it either. That's the trial method for our own people. Why should we allow an outsider to participate?"

…

"What exactly is this trial they're talking about?"

Xiaoxiang looked at Zhao Hui beside her with confusion and asked in a low voice.

“It is said that this is a method used to judge criminals. When there is insufficient evidence against the criminal and he refuses to admit his guilt, he will be asked to go to the land of his ancestors and take something back from there.

If he can successfully retrieve the item, it means that the ancestors in heaven think he is innocent, and he can be released without charge."

Zhao Hui also responded in a low voice.

"So careless?" Xiaoxiang was very surprised after hearing this.

"People in the past were very superstitious. They always believed that God is watching what people do. Good deeds will be rewarded, and evil deeds will be punished. They believed that their ancestors were always protecting them in heaven, which allowed them to live forever. And ancestor worship is also very common now."

Zhao Hui shrugged and disagreed.

"So what if you don't get the things back? What will happen?" Xiaoxiang asked curiously again.

"He is guilty. Even if his crime was not punishable by death, he will still die after he returns. In their eyes, he is unrepentant and even wants to deceive his ancestors. This is a serious crime."

"But Lin Han is not from here, so there is no possibility of deceiving their ancestors, right? And Lin Han is indeed innocent! Even if he can't get the things back, it doesn't matter, right?"

"It all depends on how they decide. We don't know whether they will agree to it or not!"

Zhao Hui looked up at the three elders who were discussing and said.

Indeed, if they did not agree to let Lin Han participate in the trial, then everything she said just now would be in vain.

A few minutes later, the three elders' intense discussion finally stopped. Old man Chongyang looked at Qin Yu, narrowed his eyes, and asked curiously:

"Qin Yu, why do you want to help an outsider?"

Indeed, Lin Han is their Gu Jianshi's man, and Lin Han is just an outsider. Why is Qin Yu so obsessed with helping an outsider?

Did he betray Master Gujian? Or did Lin Han have some evidence against him?

"I think we ancient appraisers are superior to others, and that is why we cannot be indiscriminate like the inferior people who abuse their power for personal gain. We must be fair not only to ourselves but also to others! Otherwise, we will be the same as those we look down upon."

Qin Yu raised his head and straightened his chest, feeling very proud of his identity as an ancient appraiser.

But if he knew that Lin Han had done nothing wrong but watched him suffer, then his identity as the ancient appraiser would be tarnished, and he would never be able to hold his head up in front of outsiders again.

"Moreover, there is not enough evidence to convict Lin Han. But I believe that our ancestors must have seen everything and will definitely give him a fair and just verdict that does not disgrace our ancient judge!"

After hearing this, the people present looked at each other with ugly expressions, because Qin Yu's words made it impossible for them to refuse.

Qin Yu kept mentioning Master Gu Jian, and even raised the three words "Master Gu Jian" to a very high position, which put them in a difficult position.

If I really treat people unfairly, I would be unworthy of the name of an ancient appraiser.

This forced them to accept Qin Yu's proposal.

"Okay, I promise you, I will give Lin Han a chance! But, he is not one of us, so you have to go with him. At the same time, if you are found guilty, you will die! Can you accept this?"

Liu Shui raised his head, looked at Qin Yu very proudly, and asked.

The two old men, Chongyang and Gaoshan, did not say anything, which means they also agreed with the proposal.

After all, Qin Yu kept supporting outsiders, which made people wonder if he had betrayed Master Gu Jian.

This is also done to quell the criticism of those who have strange ideas.

At the same time, it was also to stop Qin Yu. If Qin Yu knew what was good for him, he would refuse and no longer help Lin Han.

In this way, nothing will happen to him, and as time goes by, this matter will be forgotten by everyone.

"Dad! Don't go. There's no need to help this kind of person to this extent!"

Qin Xiangcao grabbed Qin Yu's hand and shook her head vigorously.

She didn't understand why Qin Yu would help Lin Han. After all, Lin Han only helped her grandfather to live longer, and they also helped Lin Han a lot, so they were even.

But now Qin Yu is actually willing to risk his life. What is he trying to achieve?

She couldn't understand.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine!" Qin Yu looked back at his daughter, patted her shoulder and smiled.

Then he turned around and looked at Chongyang and the other three elders, and said resolutely: "I agree to this condition!"

"What?"

Chongyang was very shocked when he heard this, and so were the others.

"Qin Yu, think carefully. You have an elderly father and a young daughter at home. What will happen to them if something happens to you?"

The reason they made the request just now was actually to make Qin Yu give up.

After all, Qin Yu is also their man, and he is also a very talented man with outstanding talents in appraising treasures and managing companies.

His death was naturally a loss for them, the ancient appraisers.

But they never expected that Qin Yu would agree to such a thing.

If Lin Han didn’t bring anything back, he would be dead!

At that time, the three of them would not be able to plead for him anymore. After all, this was the path Qin Yu had chosen himself, and so many people had seen and heard it, there was no room for discussion.

"I am not a child anymore. I will be responsible for my words and actions! And my daughter is already capable of taking care of herself."

Qin Yu's eyes were firm and unwavering.

Everyone can see that he is serious!

"Okay! Since you've made up your mind to go, we won't say much. Go back and prepare!"

Old man Chongyang sighed helplessly, then knocked on the table with a wooden hammer.

"The meeting is adjourned!"

Soon, most people left, and only Lin Han and a few others were still here.

"Give me the golden dragon and jade phoenix carvings and I'll leave them with someone else for safekeeping. You can bring the other things along. And you two should come along, too."

Qin Yu looked at Xiaoxiang and Zhao Hui and said.

But after they looked at each other, they all shook their heads.

"We plan to go with Lin Han!"

"Hmm?" Qin Yu frowned and looked at them puzzledly.

"This matter has nothing to do with you. Even if Lin Han gets into trouble, you can still go back safely. Besides, our journey is very dangerous!"
