Enter the Immortal Cultivation

Chapter 323: Fairness, Justice, and the Power of Law [Sorry, there is only one update tonight]

"...To sum up, the idea of ​​killing cattle with a vertical sword is just a one-sided statement by farmers. Without the vision of immortality, it is impossible for them to distinguish the difference between the 'Fire Cloud Sword' and ordinary fire sword techniques and magic techniques. It is not enough to be decisive. The evidence... Mr. Xiao still has an alibi..."

"Objection, the nobles of Shenjing are all stakeholders..."

"Objection! This is slander! If we only judge the relationship based on the origin of the skills, then there will be few trustworthy people in the immortal world!"

Fu Silu, the deacon of the Shenjing Criminal Law Department, listened with great boredom to the argument between the two lawyers in front of him. He began to feel that "beyond suspicion" was a redundant principle.

However, as a judge, he must not have selfish motives or thoughts, and he must be an impartial person.

The law is not just for protecting people; it also needs people to protect it. If the law enforcers cannot control the "law", then the law will become a joke. All a qualified law enforcer can do is to put aside personal feelings and act in accordance with the law. Even if you feel that the law is lacking, you can only write to the legislators. Until the law is revised, you still need to act in accordance with the rules.

This is not rigid, but protection, protecting the order that belongs to the human race and humanity, and maintaining the low entropy of this civilization.

so. Fu Silu finally sighed deeply: "Does the plaintiff still have evidence?"

The plaintiff's lawyer struggled for a moment and said, "No."

"The court will be adjourned now and we will wait for my decision to be made after discussing with the officials."

The courtroom of the Criminal Law Department is quite spacious and has multiple seats. The plaintiff and defendants are separated on the left and right sides of the courtroom, close to the door of the courtroom. They were facing the judge's seat. The Inquisitor's seat is one level above all seats. There is also a chest-high long table in front of him. On the left and right sides of the prosecutor were two chief bookkeepers and two prosecutors' lawyers. These two groups of people are respectively responsible for recording and monitoring whether the judge has violated the law. Witnesses occupy side seats, while litigants do not have a special seat.

Wang Qi looked at the defendant. They were a couple, both of them had gray hair and were quite young. They have been trembling with fear since they were brought here. At first, he didn't even sit in the preset seat. Instead, he knelt on the ground and shouted "Master Qingtian". Now I am sitting on the chair, still sitting upright, as if I am afraid that the chair will be dirty.

Looking back at the defendant, he was a typical Kyoji Dharma cultivator, wearing flashy magical instruments and equipment. He fiddled with the flames in his hands with a nonchalant expression. Occasionally, he would joke with his lawyer.

The case is not uncommon. A novice monk threw a sword technique high in the air. Bu Jin let the flying sword fall to the ground, destroying the couple's farmland and killing the cattle carrying the harvested millet. In such a situation, if a monk throws two pieces of gold and silver at random, the matter will be over. But this crime did not have such integrity.

Wang Qi shook his head slightly: "Hey, it's clear which side is at fault, right? I think Uncle Fu has some concerns in his mind. But from his look, it seems that the verdict is not favorable to this couple?"

Chen Feng, who was beside him, replied in a low voice: "There is no doubt that there is no guilt."

There was no conclusive evidence proving the defendant's guilt. There is no evidence to prove his innocence, so he will be judged as not guilty.

Even if "justice lies within the human heart," that "human heart" must not be allowed to influence the judgment.

That sounds callous and doesn't sound like "fair and impartial." But in fact, only in this way can relative fairness and justice be guaranteed. The subjective purpose of law enforcers can be subjective justice of results, and the purpose of legislators can also be subjective justice of results, but the inherent logic of the law itself can only be objective procedural justice.

The reason why heaven and earth are unkind is that being kind to some people will inevitably lead to "unkindness" to others. Even if there is no such concept subjectively. Objectively, partiality and injustice will also occur. The law is like the Tao, and the people must be treated like rotten dogs. There is no such thing as love or lack of love.

In this way, "everyone is equal before the law."

When Chen Feng answered this sentence, he was undoubtedly proud. Perhaps there is an injustice caused by a legal flaw in front of us, but. The leak will be plugged, and the damage to the farmer and farmer will be compensated by the Peacekeeping Department. Even their safety is guaranteed by the Peacekeeping Department. If in the future the pair of farmers are ill-intentioned by this young master, the Criminal Law Department will not mind letting them educate them again on the consequences of challenging the majesty of the law.

Wang Qi closed his eyes. In an instant, he thought a lot from the perspective of humanity in China, from the perspective of legislators, from the perspective of monks and mortals. Countless strategies that may arise in the case of "disturbing order" flashed through his mind, and the complete information dynamic game calculations of multiple interest groups unfolded.

If we look at the legal system on Earth, the Immortal League Law has some characteristics of the civil law system, but in essence it is more like the modernized Chinese legal system. It exists only to manage monks. It is something similar to "precepts" that all monks respect.

Then, Wang Qi sighed softly: "That's it."

Chen Feng asked curiously: "What did you think of?"

"The laws of the Immortal Alliance strictly prohibit monks from harming mortal property or even killing mortal lives, and this is separate from monks harming monks' property. Generally speaking, if a monk harms monks' property, if the victim does not pursue the case, it can be treated as a trivial matter. But once he is killed, The perpetrator is a mortal, and if the perpetrator does not pursue the case, the Criminal Law Department will pursue it on his behalf. This requires many practitioners to restrain themselves and not squander their own power. From the results, this is to prevent practitioners from being enslaved by their own power. The monk himself.”

"The same is true for the suspicion of guilt. The suspicion of guilt is the embodiment of the idea of ​​'benefiting the defendant', and the Law of the Immortal Alliance is specially designed to manage monks, so the defendants can naturally only be monks. And every monk is a member of the Immortal Alliance. Some people can produce functions that they do not have in this system. Therefore, except for those monks who have a bad influence on some people, the Immortal Alliance generally does not impose the death penalty. Instead, it mainly focuses on education and reform, even if the victim is forgiven and compensated. , as well as a prison sentence and a public apology.”

"Since there is no 'introduction to law practice' at the legal level, and no different treatment is given to Shenjing monks, even though these Shenjing monks are just parasites, they can still enjoy this right. Because the authority of the law is its execution Basis. In order to severely punish this person and violate the principle of no doubt, it will only reduce the enforcement of the law and cause more people to suffer..."

Chen Feng interrupted Wang Qi dumbfounded: "Why do you think that the majesty of the law is gone when you say this?"

"On the contrary, this is proof of the wisdom of the wise in the law." Wang Qi shook his head and said: "The basis for the existence of the Immortal Alliance is the fact that 'division of labor and cooperation are more efficient'. Precisely because it is a boat heading towards the road, so Only the monks are willing to come up. The purpose of the legislator is to maintain the stability of this car and the boat itself, and prevent it from falling apart. If the law causes the rudder to deflect and the shaft to break, I am afraid that the Immortal Alliance itself will also be affected. will cease to exist - in addition, the perfect law does not exist. The law itself must be revised again and again before it can be close to true fairness."

Chen Feng shook his head: "What you said makes sense, but why do I always feel that something is wrong?"

"You are 'I am for everyone and everyone is for me'. And I am 'Everyone is for me and I am for everyone'. The performance is similar and the purpose is the same, but the inner logic is different." Wang Qi pointed to his head: "And This is the idea of ​​using Yitiansuan to analyze it. The premise of Yitiansuan is that every individual has a self-interested instinct."

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore." Chen Feng skipped the discussion about the law: "How is the legal matter going?"

"I can feel it. If everything goes well, it won't be long before it's completed." Wang Qi nodded and asked, "What about you?"

"If I can sense it, I should be able to complete the test directly. But I'm really not as good as you in this aspect." Chen Feng shook his head helplessly.

The reason why the two of them are here is to prove their Shinto-Humanitarian theory and use it to deduce a method.

Wang Qi and the others positioned the basis of the first humanitarian law as "law". For Wang Qi, among the many humane rules, law is the clearest one, unlike economy and business, where different factions have different interpretations. As a law enforcer, Chen Feng is also familiar with the law, and this "power of law" is also Chen Feng's ideal.

In addition, in the local area network allocated to Zhao Qingfeng, the "commandments" that serve as the code of conduct for believers are the "Code of Conduct for Prison Life of the Shenjing Criminal Law Department." This also proves that it is indeed feasible for the law to serve as the basis for the "new Shinto law."

After applying, Wang Qi gained the right to observe in the lobby of the Criminal Justice Department or inspect the prison as a "co-police officer." The Immortal Alliance has always been committed to seeking the truth, so as long as the application is based on evidence, there is a certain chance of passing it, no matter how outrageous it is.

Everyone here is acting according to something called "law". The prisoner's food, clothing, daily necessities, and daily behaviors are determined by the punishments of the law. The decision made by the judge is the procedure of the law. Even the dispute between the two lawyers revolved around "the law."

it's here. The law seems to be more than a metaphysical entity. It does not know that it is based on reason and stops at Tao, but it is based on law and stops at technique, and it truly exists in everyone's thinking.

And as long as there is law in their thinking and their actions are based on the law, then their soul fluctuations must also contain the algorithm of "law".

In daily life, walking, arguing, and thinking, people come into contact with each other and temporarily become an internal existence as a whole. They convey information through language and remember information through behavior. These resonances were reflected in their souls and disturbed their souls.

The redundant power of the soul emits a special high-spirited electromagnetic wave. The same electromagnetic wave crests and crests, troughs and troughs overlap and expand, and finally merge into one.

The law itself is order. It does not make people feel the real constraints like religious precepts, but it is stricter than all religious precepts. This order allows spiritual power to continuously gather.

This is the power of the law.

The reason why Wang Qi and Chen Feng are here is to find out that power.

Even during the trial, Wang Qi was radiating the power of holy light into the air. And Chenfeng's fingertips were also burning with life flames. They hope to inject this negative entropic force into the "Spirit of Law" to strengthen it to the point where it can be detected by monks, or transform it into a form that is easier for people to perceive.

Soon, the judge came out. He announced with some helplessness that the defendant would be acquitted and the plaintiff's losses would be borne by the Peacekeeping Department. At the same time, the defendant's safety would be maintained by the Peacekeeping Department's security guards. The Enforcement Officer of the Criminal Law Department allocated manpower to pay attention to the case.

Subjective justice has not been asserted, but the rules of the Immortal Alliance have been consolidated because of this trial, and the loopholes exposed will become the driving force for self-improvement of the judicial system; the old couple's losses have been compensated.

This is the result of this round of "game". Except for the noble of Shenjing who wasted time and energy in vain, the interests of each participant are guaranteed.

The law was enforced at this moment. In an instant, a mysterious power emerged in the lobby.

Chen Feng finally sensed something, his hand trembled, and he almost threw out the Flame of Life.

But at that moment, Wang Qi was distracted. He looked at the couple and thought-it shouldn't be like this.

He felt that this set of strategies was not actually optimal.

The individual power of the monks was too strong, and it was actually difficult for mortals to grasp "evidence". The gap in status between monks and mortals also made penalties and compensation meaningless. Even if similar principles were bred, the laws of this world could not do the same as on Earth, truly allowing mortals and monks to achieve "legal equality".

"Hey!" Chen Feng tugged at Wang Qi's sleeve: "Why are you distracted at this time!" (To be continued ~^~)
