C194 A Higher Level of Crime
Ann Hee wasn't in a good mood to begin with. Besides, the person he bumped into was only Qingshan. He didn't think it was a big deal.
His humiliating words were just his anger out of nowhere.
He didn't think that the other party would take it seriously.
Ann Hee had never lost a verbal battle. The more he argued, the angrier he got. The way the other party looked down on the Ann family made him angry again.
Especially when he heard that Ye Xu had humiliated him and pushed him to the side, he moved his sword on impulse.
But so what? It was Ye Xu who attacked first!
Yang Feng asked him why he was so angry. This was not a good development. If he was defined as a person who could easily get angry and cause trouble, perhaps he would be the one to be blamed!
Although Ann Hee could get angry easily, he was not stupid. He thought for a while and did not answer Yang Feng's question. He only said coldly:
"Captain Yang, you are wrong. The cause of this matter was that Ye Xu attacked me first. I was angry, so I used my sword!"
Yang Feng frowned. Although he wanted to help Ye Xu, he knew from his junior brother that it was Ye Xu who attacked first.
And Ann Hee bumped into Qingshan, it was too much of a coincidence. He could not say without reason that Ann Hee had knocked into Qingshan on purpose.
Yang Feng thought for a while and asked Ye Xu, "Ye Xu, did you attack first? Don't you know the rules of Medicine Valley? In a private fight, one must be severely punished!"
There was a rule in the Medicine Valley that those who did not know were not guilty.
Ye Xu was a new disciple. He could let Ye Xu pretend that he didn't know about this rule so that Ye Xu could escape punishment.
Yang Feng's hint was very obvious. Ye Xu was not stupid. When he heard Yang Feng emphasise the word "don't know," he understood it after a little understanding.
Ye Xu had a good impression of this seemingly serious Law Enforcement Hall leader in his heart, but Ye Xu did not do as he suggested.
Ye Xu said faintly, "Although I am a new disciple, the sect rules of the Medicine Valley is very important. I will keep it in mind."
As soon as Ye Xu said this, all the disciples on the spot widened their eyes.
They thought that Ye Xu was finished, but they didn't expect that Yang Feng would come.
Yang Feng looked stubborn and strict, but in fact, his heart was soft. He had always severely punished those who bullied others, but as long as the weaker party didn't exceed the limit of the sect rules, he wouldn't punish them severely.
When the disciples heard Yang Feng's obvious hint, they knew what he was planning. Some of them were even less worried about Ye Xu.
But who knew that Ye Xu would be so stupid? Could it be that he did not hear Yang Feng's obvious hint?
Yang Feng also did not expect that Ye Xu would give such an answer even though he looked smart.
But when Yang Feng saw the apologetic look in Ye Xu's eyes, he knew that Ye Xu must have understood.
There was only one possibility left. Ye Xu had a noble character, and although he knew about it, he didn't want to lie to others.
Yang Feng sighed slightly and felt somewhat helpless. At this point, this matter was no longer something he could control.
The sect rules was a sect rules. It could not be changed by human strength!
Ann Hee, on the other hand, smiled very happily.
He was very angry at the hint that Yang Feng had given Ye Xu!
He thought that Ye Xu would definitely be spared from punishment, but he did not expect Ye Xu to not understand Yang Feng's hint.
It could be seen that Ye Xu did this because he was too stupid.
Ann Hee showed a proud smile and deliberately said to Yang Feng, "Ye Xu hurt people in front of everyone. His behavior was wrong, and it has a huge impact. Captain Yang, how are you going to punish him?"
Yang Feng originally didn't want to decide on how to execute Ye Xu right now, but when Ann Hee asked him in front of everyone, he had no choice but to answer.
Yang Feng thought for a while and said, "Ann Hee and Ye Xu were wrong about this. Although Ye Xu attacked first, he didn't kill anyone. He would be punished by a level four crime. He would go to Qingwei Mountain to dig up cinnabar for a year. Ann Hee tried to hurt people with a sword. He would be punished by going to White Cloud Stream to pick herbs for three months."
Digging cinnabar was actually mining.
Since ancient times, mining was a high-risk job. Because the terrain was unclear and the labor was heavy, even if he was a martial artist, it would definitely not be easy.
There was life danger at every turn.
But Ye Xu knew that Yang Feng had already done his best. Not only did he choose the lowest years of labor for him, but he also did not punish those punishments that would harm his body.
In comparison, Ann Hee was picking herbs on the cliff. The possibility of something happening to him was not lower than digging a mine.
Ann Hee gritted his teeth. He wanted to get angry, but he held it in.
If Ann Hee wanted to continue being a noble Pill Refining Master in the Medicine Valley, he had to obey the sect rules. Otherwise, the Medicine Valley would never let him stay.
Fortunately, Ye Xu was punished longer than Ann Hee. If Ye Xu encountered a mine accident, he would undoubtedly die. Ann Hee only needed to be careful for three months.
When Ann Hee saw that Ye Xu's situation was worse than his, he felt relieved in his heart.
When Ann Hee was happy, there would naturally be people in pain.
Qingshan lowered his head. He suddenly seemed to have made up his mind. He whispered to Shea Han, "Mr Shea, this is all my fault. Mr Ye made a mistake because he wanted to help me. I want to receive punishment for him."
Shea Han was a little touched. Qingshan was his junior brother who he had taken care of since he was young. Now that Qingshan had such a responsibility, he was very happy.
Shea Han said, "If you want to be punished for Ye Xu, your punishment will be doubled. That means you need to mine for two years. Mining is not as fun as you think. Have you forgotten about needle slave? "
Needle slave was a servant who accidentally encountered Qingshan. Qingshan saw that he would not be able to live for long and took good care of him. Later on, Shea Han also knew about this.
Qingshan recalled needle slave's thin and black body, the scars all over his body, and his lifeless eyes. He couldn't help but tremble.
Needle slave had become like this after five years of mining. He had heard from needle slave that he used to be a 1.8 meters tall man.
Qingshan thought that he might not be able to survive with his small and skinny body.
Qingshan was responsible. Although he was afraid, he still mustered up his courage and said, "I will bear the consequences of my mistakes."
Shea Han nodded with satisfaction. He did not teach Qingshan badly. He pointed at the calm Yaoguang and said in a low voice, "Don't worry. Ms Yaoguang is not anxious. Ye Xu will definitely be fine."
"The verdict is out. This matter has come to an end. Those who are not related to this matter, quickly leave."
Yang Feng announced. He saw that Ye Xu did not show any expression from the beginning to the end. He sighed with regret in his heart.
No matter what, Ye Xu had violated the sect rules. It was equivalent to him having a criminal record. Even if he came back alive to continue cultivating alchemy, he would still encounter difficulties because of this matter.
The Medicine Valley liked disciples who abided by the rules.
"Wait a minute, I have an objection regarding this matter." Ye Xu quietly waited for Yang Feng's judgement. After Ann Hee finished being happy, Ye Xu slowly opened his mouth to speak.
As soon as Ye Xu spoke, the surrounding disciples gathered around them again.
It was not common to have objections to the judgment. Any disciple who was sentenced by the law enforcement team would be depressed and regretful. Ye Xu not only did not regret it, but he also had objections.
Could it be that Ye Xu did not know that if the verdict was correct after the objection was raised, his crime would be even heavier?1
Maybe Ye Xu would be punished to mine for three years instead of one year. Why would Ye Xu do that?
There was never a lack of people who cared about other people's business in this world.
Yang Feng was stunned. Then he said solemnly, "Ye Xu, once the verdict is decided, there is no possibility of changing it. You can raise an objection, but after the investigation, if the result is still the same, your crime will be even heavier."
