PS: Please ask for Sanjiang votes and recommendation votes, thank you all.
It was already past three o'clock in the morning when Zhang Ran and the two returned to the entertainment city. Regardless of the sweat all over his body, Zhang Ran forced himself to sit cross-legged on the bed. The dreaming technique he had just used almost made him collapse.
This dream-entering technique can be regarded as a relatively advanced technique in Xuanmen. High-level Xuanmen practitioners can even enter dreams at any time. For example, Jiang Shang, who lived in the Zhou Dynasty for 800 years, although he is over eighty years old, his realm has transcended the current level. In the realm of Taoism, one can easily use the art of dreaming.
It is said that Jiang Shang at that time was the first person after the Yellow Emperor to obtain the complete jade book inheritance. Later, Zhang Zifang, Zhuge Liang and others obtained the manuscripts left over from Jiang Shang's period, and they were incomplete.
At that time, Jiang Shang used the method of entering dreams to win the favor of King Wen of Zhou Dynasty. From then on, he became the prime minister and overthrew the rule of Shang Zhou.
At this time, Zhang Ran's state is naturally far behind Jiang Shang. Even if he forcibly uses the method of dreaming, he must use the formation to assist, and Zhang Ran cannot control the dream state.
Just now, Zhang Ran could only use dreams to disturb Bai Meng as much as possible, but Zhang Ran had no way of knowing what Bai Meng had dreamed about.
Of course, this is not the time for Zhang Ran to worry. Zhang Zhihao¡¯s court session will be after dawn. He must restore some energy as soon as possible in order to cope with unexpected changes.
After sitting cross-legged on the bed, Zhang Ran took out a pill again in pain, gritted his teeth and swallowed it. Although pills are precious, they can also be refined. Zhang Ran will never tolerate any sloppiness in Zhang Zhihao's affairs.
He will go to college in half a year, and it will be even more difficult to go home then. Zhang Huaishan will still have to rely on Aunt Wang¡¯s family to take care of him. He must repay this kindness.
After swallowing the pills, Zhang Ran went directly into meditation. When he opened his eyes, it was already past eight in the morning.
Standing up and stretching, Zhang Ran felt comfortable all over his body, and the consumption from last night had been restored again.
"Tsk! This pill is indeed a good thing. Most people can't afford such a consumption. No wonder Grandpa Hu's handbook said that people in Xuanmen are all unprofitable and can't afford to do things early. As expected, they can't do such unprofitable things. ." Zhang Ran sighed, and then walked out of the door.
Zhang Ran sighed in his heart, but he didn't know that other Xuanmen people would be furious if they heard what he said. It's true that the pills are precious, but someone needs to be able to refine them. In today's society, most of the methods for refining rare medicinal herbs have been lost. How many Taoist people can only endure the pain and eat raw medicinal materials if they get them. At most, they only perform superficial processing and refine some simple medicinal herbs, like Zhang Ran. There are almost no Taoist people who know the profound art of alchemy like this.
When they came downstairs, Liu Tiedan had already gotten up, prepared breakfast and was waiting for Zhang Ran. The two had a simple meal and went straight to the Changhua Courthouse in Huacheng.
Zhang Zhihao¡¯s court session is at nine o¡¯clock in the morning. This time the session is semi-open, that is, except for the parents of the defendant and the plaintiff, only a small number of people are allowed to enter, and irrelevant people are not allowed to enter.
Zhang Ran¡¯s identity is Zhang Zhihao¡¯s younger brother and he represents Zhang Zhihao¡¯s side. Naturally, he and Liu Tiedan could go in. When they arrived at the court, there were only more than ten minutes left before the trial started, and many people were already sitting inside.
Guo Zihui and others were already waiting inside. Seeing Zhang Ran come in, Guo Zihui glanced over coldly.
Originally, Guo Zihui did not intend to take this step early. His purpose in dealing with Zhang Zhihao was to obtain Zhang Zhihao's invention. As long as Zhang Zhihao bowed his head, he promised to withdraw the prosecution.
At first, Guo Zihui was very confident. He thought that Zhang Zhihao would definitely give in if he couldn't bear it. In fact, just as Guo Zihui guessed, although Zhang Zhihao was reluctant to give up, he had already decided to give in. If it weren't for Zhang Ran, maybe Guo Zihui would have surrendered that time. Go ahead, Zhang Zhihao has already agreed.
But Zhang Ran¡¯s sudden appearance shook Zhang Zhihao, who was already hesitant. At the same time, Zhang Ran gained Jiang Zifang¡¯s support, which led to what happened last night. Now Zhang Zhihao is out of Guo Zihui¡¯s control.
Since you can¡¯t get it, then simply destroy it directly. This is Guo Zihui¡¯s thought. Today he will watch Zhang Zhihao being tried with his own eyes.
"Hmph! Boy, Zhang Zhihao is just the beginning. Even you and I will never let him go." Guo Zihui stared at Zhang Ran with a vicious look in his eyes. In his opinion, this boy appeared out of nowhere. messed up his plans.
Facing Guo Zihui¡¯s gaze, Zhang Ran smiled disdainfully, and he and Liu Tiedan found a seat near the front to sit down. This Guo Zihui was the chess piece he gave to Jiang Zifang this time, so there was nothing to be afraid of.
Not long after the two of them sat down, the court session began. Dear all, the court session began.The officials began to walk into the courtroom one by one.
"Now I announce that the case of Zhang Zhihao raping a woman is now open. The defendant and plaintiff are invited to appear!" As the judge's voice fell, Bai Meng and Zhang Zhihao were taken to the court respectively.
Zhang Zhihao's face was still pale, but it was much better than the previous few days. It seemed that he had a good time at the city bureau last night. Zhang Zhihao walked out and saw Zhang Ran sitting below, smiled reluctantly, and walked up The defendant's stand.
At the same time, the plaintiff Bai Meng also walked up to the plaintiff's table. Bai Meng's face was not much stronger than Zhang Zhihao's. He was also as pale as paper. There were thick bags under his eyes. It was obvious that he had not had a good rest last night, and even Liu Tiedan He also observed that the moment Zhang Zhihao and Bai Meng passed each other, Bai Meng's body actually trembled.
"That Bai Meng is scared!" Liu Tiedan's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but think of Zhang Ran's behavior downstairs in Bai Meng's residence last night.
As the plaintiff and defendant took their seats, the defense lawyers from both sides also arrived at the designated positions. Bai Meng's lawyer was hired by Guo Zihui, who is very famous in Huacheng, while Bai Meng's lawyer was temporarily hired by Liu Tiedan yesterday. Standing forward, one is confident and the other is obviously coping. It can be seen that if there are no accidents, the outcome of this trial has been doomed, and there is basically no possibility for Zhang Zhihao to turn around.
After all parties were settled, the defense process began. Zhang Ran didn¡¯t understand much, and it was his first time on such an occasion, so he simply watched with a cold eye.
Bai Meng¡¯s lawyer was eloquent and presented pieces of evidence, but Zhang Zhihao¡¯s lawyer basically had no say. In fact, he didn¡¯t know what to say at all.
Zhang Zhihao's lawyer is named Zuo Wei. He is only thirty years old this year. He is not well-known in Huacheng. He was just brought in by Liu Tiedan to deal with it temporarily. After learning about the case, he said that he was helpless at the time, so he took the case. , because Liu Tiedan paid a lot of money.
"Comrade Judge, now all the evidence can prove the defendant's infringement on my client. Please ask Comrade Judge for a verdict." After the evidence was presented, Bai Meng's lawyer quoted from the classics and said directly to the judge.
"Defendant Zhang Zhihao, what else do you have to say?" The judge glanced at Bai Meng's lawyer and then asked Zhang Zhihao.
Hearing the judge¡¯s question, Zhang Zhihao opened his mouth, but hesitated to speak. He wanted to say that he was unjustly accused, but there was no evidence at all, so how could he speak.
¡°Where is the defendant¡¯s defense lawyer?¡± the judge asked again.
"I only have one thing to ask the plaintiff." Lawyer Zuo Wei sighed helplessly and said lightly. In fact, he didn't even bother to ask, but Zhang Ran asked him to ask this question. Money helps people eliminate disasters, which is considered a formality.
"Excuse me!" the judge said.
Hearing the judge¡¯s permission, Zuo Wei slowly approached Bai Meng and asked: ¡°Ms. Bai, you are in court now. Every word you say will bear legal responsibility. I hope you will be cautious.¡±
"Lawyer Zuo, if you have any questions, just ask me directly. My client still knows this." Bai Meng's lawyer interjected from the side.
Zuo Wei glanced at the other party and was too lazy to care. He asked Bai Meng in a deep voice: "My client said that you framed him for all this. Is that true?"
When Zuo Wei asked this question, most of the people sitting here couldn't help laughing. Is this lawyer sick? Asking such an idiotic question, Bai Meng's lawyer and Guo Zihui also shook their heads in disdain. Who hired a lawyer to ask such idiotic questions? Even if they are framed, will they admit it if you ask them like this?
However, no one noticed at this time that Zhang Ran, who was sitting in the auditorium, was drawing something strangely with his hands. After Zuo Wei asked, Bai Meng was about to answer when Zhang Ran suddenly stretched out his finger and whispered A cry: Ji! "
As Zhang Ran's voice fell, Bai Meng suddenly wanted to see something terrible, and his body began to tremble violently. He waved his hands vigorously and shouted incoherently: "Zhang Zhihao, don't come over, it's not that I want to harm you. It's Guo Zihui, it's him, it's all him"
Listening to Bai Meng¡¯s incoherent shouting, Zuo Wei was dumbfounded, Bai Meng¡¯s lawyer was dumbfounded, Guo Zihui was even dumbfounded, and most people at the scene fell into a daze
