Yunzun City Court Building, Jiang Imperial Capital
“Whataaaa! You killed Commander Jing Han?” The supreme magistrate of Yunzun City was shocked to hear the Court Officer's report and directly asked Zhao Jian if it was true, and Zhao Jian casually confirmed the report.
“What I did was it was on the right track and in accordance with the instructions of the Emperor!” Zhao Jian deliberately carried the name of the Emperor so that he would not be blamed. “Jiang Feilong's judgment need not be so tense, I will be responsible if there are parties who object to the decision!”
Judge Jiang Feilong frowned upon hearing Zhao Jian's reply. “You must act carefully Judge Jian, even though this Empire looks strong. However, inside it is actually very fragile and full of intrigues that can make your head cut off!” saith. “Just consider Emperor Jiang Long to be your shield, but if there is a Paramita Realm or Saint realm that is offended by your actions and kills you secretly can you still say Emperor Jiang Long can protect you?”
Judge Jiang Feilong advised Zhao Jian, he felt like his head felt so dizzy that General Jing Mu would definitely hold him accountable—not to this naive and impulsive young Judge.
“As your senior I can only remind you and tell you not to use your Justice Book too often and do a trial in court only after going through the Court Officer's examination!” judge Jiang Long said as he patted Zhao Jian on the shoulder and left Zhao Jian alone in the study room he had just prepared for him.
Actually Zhao Jian is different from other Judges who have limited working area— because in each City there is a Court building and they are under the leadership of the Supreme Court Justice equivalent to the minister.
Zhao Jian is a special Judge who gets a special mandate from Emperor Jiang Long and can conduct hearings against defendants wherever he is, as well as the right to use the facilities of the Court including deploying Court Officers.
“Saint's Land? If only one person, Violet and I are enough to conquer it, while the Paramita Realm there are only Three in this Jiang Empire, and they are the Patriarch of the great Sect and one of them is the Patriarch of my Century Sword Sect,” Zhao Jian muttered. “If I don't humiliate them then they won't likely step in to kill me!” he thought again and would stick to his principle of Absolute Justice.
Zhao Jian walked out of his room and the Court Officers immediately cupped fists to show him respect.
Zhao Jian simply nodded slowly and spread a warm smile, in contrast to the other senior Judges who always emitted serious facial expressions.
Zhao Jian headed towards the large room where the Court Officer's office workspace was.
The Court Officers who were there looked at Zhao Jian casually, but a moment later they realized the Cloak he was wearing was the Judge's Cloak, they immediately stood up and cupped fists to show respect.
“Who hasn't got the task at this time?” Zhao Jian asked them.
“I Judge Jian!” sahut the Apprentice Court apprentice who looked the same age as Zhao Jian.
“Who else?” zhao Jian asked as the apprentice Court Clerk did not have any fluctuations in spiritual energy in his meridians, Zhao Jian was afraid that if he sent him alone to catch the thugs then he would be beaten to death by the thugs.
No one raised their hands when there were Dozens of Court Officers there and they were seen not doing any work.
“Eeeeeeeee... how cruel the new Judge is!” grumbled one of the Court Officers after Zhao Jian left.
“Let's just do it, don't you guys know he's a crazy Judge who even dares to behead a military commander. The punishment he gives if we fail to perform the task is still light, because we only get lashes!” say a more senior Court Officer while looking at what tasks they will do.
“But if he uses the Tianzun realm Spritual Energy while whipping us then we might suffer as well!” sahut Female Court Officer who just officially became Court Officer.
His comrades immediately frowned and gulped, as they remembered that the young Judge's cultivation base was in fact Tianzun realm, while they were only Spirit realm.
They immediately scattered from the room to immediately complete the task given by Zhao Jian, they did not want to be whipped by him as Zhao Jian would definitely whip them to the point of feeling unparalleled pain.
...***...
Zhao Jian was about to enter again into his room, but was suddenly blocked by the senior Judge who was a Five-Tiered-year-old man. His face looked extremely annoyed and looked at Zhao Jian with a sharp gaze filled with killing intent.
“Zhao Jian! Why did you kill Commander Jing Han? Should only the Military Court be able to sentence him, a child smelly like you dare to violate the applicable constitution and apply the rules at will!” snarled the senior Judge.
Zhao Jian immediately assumed that this Judge might be from the Jing Clan or had been bribed by Jing Han for all his crimes to be covered up.
Zhao Jian noticed the name mark attached to the senior Judge's chest and said, “Judge Lu Xiao! Are you pretending to be deaf? I am the daughter-in-law of Emperor Jiang Long and you must know...” A thin grin emanated from the corner of Zhao Jian's lips. “Forget it! Just take care of your own business and don't get in my way!” Zhao Jian said cynically.
Judge Lu Xiao looked extremely annoyed and clenched his fists. The five senior Court Officers of Jie Zhu realm behind him directly mounted the horses; preparing to fight Zhao Jian. However, Lu Xiao raised his hand for them to let Zhao Jian through.
“Zhao Jian.. be careful! There are times when Squirrels fail to jump, the military will definitely not stay silent over the death of Commander Jing Han. As your senior I suggest that you better cultivate diligently in the Eternal Sword Sect and never leave that place!” Lu Xiao said with a wry smile.
His words seemed like an advice, but there was a message implied in the sentence that was a threat to Zhao Jian.
“Supparent thanks Lu!” zhao Jian said without looking back.
