Gao Mo said seriously, "Clan Head Zong, I am not officially judging the case. I am here to discuss with you the punishment of Fang Xusheng. If you want to officially judge the case, at least the elders of the Dongsheng Pavilion, the Hall of Rites and the Punishment Hall need to gather. Even Half-saint is needed. You should know the rules of the Notre-Dame better than us. In Fang Xusheng's words, this is a discussion. "
"Since the Hall of Rites and Punishment Hall don't want to interfere, then you can leave it to the Dongsheng Pavilion. The Old Man will invite His Majesty to judge the case." Zong Ganyu said.
The crowd was in an uproar. Eastern Sage was Zong Ganyu's father. As Gyeongo's Zong Sheng, it was obvious that he would side with Gyeongo.
"If Zong Sheng insists on taking over the case, then the Punishment Hall and Hall of Rites will have no objections. However, Zong Sheng is probably drinking tea with the Kong Clan Head. Are you sure you want to send a letter to Zong Sheng now? "Gao Mo said.
Zong Ganyu was silent.
The rest of the Zong family members also felt that Zong Ganyu was in a dilemma. They all believed that Zong Sheng could solve this matter. However, it was an indisputable fact that Zong Sheng was in a dangerous situation. Only an ignorant child would send a letter to trouble Zong Sheng. Zong Ganyu would not do such a thing.
Furthermore, even if Zong Sheng received the news, he might not be willing to take over the case. Because Zong Sheng always cherished his reputation. If Half-saint were to personally suppress Xusheng, it would definitely lead to a backlash from the scholars.
Gao Mo said, "Since Elder Zong is unable to answer, then this matter will be led by the Punishment Hall and Hall of Rites. The Dongsheng Pavilion only has the right to supervise."
Zong Ganyu said again, "Lynching is too much of a joke. Could it be that killing the grand scholar Lei Zhongmo is also a lynching? If you consider Fang Yun's killing of Lei Zhongmo as a lynching, then Old Man will inform the Notre-Dame and ask for a public discussion. He might even ask my father to come out! "
Gao Mo sternly said, "How can you confuse two people's matters? Let's deal with Ge Yiming first and then discuss Lei Zhongmo's matter. Lei Zhongmo is the head of the Lei family. If there is irrefutable evidence, we have no right to make a decision. At the very least, we have to wait for the Notre-Dame to make a decision. We might even hold a meeting and let the great scholars of the human race or the king make a joint decision. "
Zong Ganyu glanced at Lei Tingzhen.
Lei Tingzhen immediately said, "Elder Gao, please end Ge Yiming's case as soon as possible. The case of the head of the Lei family cannot be dragged on."
"Since Brother Tingzhen wishes for a speedy trial, then this Old Man wishes for a speedy trial as well," Zong Ganyu said.
The Jingguo scholars and Fang Yun's friends felt helpless. Lei Tingzhen's case had been dragged on until now, and now Ge Yiming was involved. With the means of the Punishment Hall and the Rites Hall, it would not be a problem to drag it on for decades. However, now that Lei Tingzhen and Zong Ganyu had joined forces to request for a quick resolution, the Punishment Hall and Rites Hall could not afford to delay any longer.
Gao Mo looked at Fang Yun.
Fang Yun thought for a while and said, "There is nothing complicated about Ge Yiming's case. Bensei also agrees to close the case."
Gao Mo looked at Zong Ganyu, Lei Tingzhen, and Qing Jun. After a while, he said, "Since both sides agree that the case should be closed quickly, then I will uphold the original sentence. Fang Xusheng did not act without reason. Ge Yiming had committed treason with Qingjiang Trading Company many times, and he also colluded with the Jiao Saint to harm Fang Xusheng. He should be sentenced to a serious crime, or at least exiled to the ancient land. However, without a letter from the Notre-Dame, Ge Yiming would never be sentenced to death. Fang Xusheng killed him, which was a big mistake, and he should be punished. This case should be punished according to Xusheng's lynching. Therefore, he should be exiled for more than three years and less than seven years. Next, Elder Wu, please tell us how the Hall of Rites will punish him. "
Elder Wu raised his head slightly and said, "Xusheng killed a Grand Scholar who violated the Hall of Rites. Without the consent of the Hall of Rites, he will be punished to copy the Thirteen Classics a hundred times and fined one million taels of silver."
Gao Mo then said, "Does anyone have any objections?"
Countless gazes looked at Zong Ganyu, Lei Tingzhen, and Qing Jun.
Even those who were enemies of Fang Yun felt that this punishment was fair. After all, Fang Yun was Xusheng. Being exiled for more than ten thousand miles for a few years was not a light punishment.
On the contrary, those who supported Fang Yun were dissatisfied. Even if a normal person killed someone by mistake, as long as they turned themselves in and received forgiveness from the family, they would only be exiled for seven years.
Qing Jun looked at the other two without moving. Zong Ganyu looked at Lei Tingzhen.
Lei Tingzhen hesitated for a while and said, "The punishment from the Hall of Rites and the Punishment Hall is fair. The Lei family has no objections."
"I also have no objections," Zong Ganyu said.
"Gyeongo has no objections," Qing Jun said.
After a few breaths, Gao Mo said, "Since no one has any objections, as long as Fang Xusheng has no objections, this case will be closed."
Everyone looked up at Fang Yun, who was in the Yueyang Tower.
"Bensei has no objections. Elder Gao, Elder Wu, and Elder Zong, please issue a joint document from the Dongsheng Pavilion, the Punishment Hall, and the Hall of Rites." Fang Yun's answer was clean and concise.
Afterward, Gao Mo drafted the document on the spot. Then, the three Elders stamped their official seals on the back of the document, and the document took effect immediately.
Gao Mo flicked the document, and it flew into the air and landed in front of Fang Yun.
Fang Yun reached out and took it. After reading it, he nodded lightly and said, "Bensei will obey the Notre-Dame's punishment. Bensei will complete the Hall of Rites' punishment within the time limit. As for the Punishment Hall's punishment, Bensei has the right to use military merits to offset the punishment because it doesn't involve treason. In addition, from today onwards, Zhang Longxiang's military merits will be transferred to Bensei's name. Dongsheng Pavilion, please deal with it as soon as possible. "
After Fang Yun finished speaking, the people of Jingguo were overjoyed. It turned out that Fang Yun was already prepared.
Some of those who hated Fang Yun knew that this would be the result, but they didn't care. What they cared about was Lei Zhongmo's case. There were also some people who saw this result and cursed in a low voice.
Li Fanming smiled and said, "I already knew that Fang Yun would do this. The amount of military merits he obtained in the Two Worlds Mountain can be said to be miraculous. It's already comparable to the lifetime military merits of several ordinary scholars. "
"The amount of military merits needed to offset this crime is just a drop in the ocean for Fang Yun. If Ge Yiming knows about this in the netherworld, he will definitely be angered to death again. His death is really worthless."
"It's good to be Xusheng …"
"Nonsense, it's better to be a Half-saint."
In the midst of everyone's discussion, Ge Yiming's death came to an end.
Ge Yiming's friends when he was alive went to the list together and criticized him on the list. They were filled with grief and indignation.
"A dignified Jinshi was killed, and the murderer didn't even go to jail for a day. This is intolerable!"
"If Fang Xusheng apologized to Ge Yiming, I wouldn't be so angry. Look at him. It's like he killed a chicken. He doesn't have the slightest bit of regret. Xusheng of the human race is so cold-blooded. It's disappointing. "
"Ji Zhibai was killed because Ji Zhibai wanted to die. Ge Yiming only had a conflict with Fang Yun because of words. He didn't deserve to die!"
"We will definitely seek justice for Ge Yiming!"
"Not only Ge Yiming, Ge Baiwan was also captured. He will definitely suffer."
However, at the scene of the Cultural Meeting, no one dared to attack Fang Yun.
Ge Yiming's end was still vivid in their minds.
Zong Ganyu spoke like spring thunder, "Ge Yiming's matter is over. Let's ask the Punishment Hall and Rites Hall to give their opinions on Fang Yun killing Lei Zhongmo. Today, Fang Yun has personally admitted that he killed Lei Zhongmo. A million people can testify! "
