Chapter 319: Wall-Facing (2)
The martial world’s trials are unparalleled in their cruelty.
In truth, this was only natural.
The martial world had no concept of the separation of powers—legislative, judicial, and executive branches checking each other.
Even receiving a trial like this was only possible for the highest echelons of Kuryongseong. Most cases ended with summary execution on the spot.
It was a martial world where the spirit of democracy was nowhere to be found.
Ah… Modern China is no different, I suppose.
Anyway, as the defendant in such a harsh trial, I found myself in an utterly frustrating situation.
“The criminal, Jin Mujeon, despite rising to the high position of leader of the Jeonryong faction, acted recklessly, tarnishing the city’s prestige and committing acts that could provoke war. I believe he should be given a heavy sentence.”
This was due to Wen Shang, who served as the prosecutor in this very trial.
“No, just hear me out first— —.”
“Shut up! How dare a criminal speak so freely!”
“No.”
What if they won’t even let me defend myself?
In a world without lawyers.
But there was something even more infuriating.
“Therefore, I sentence the criminal Jin Mujeon to five years in the dungeon. Does anyone object?”
“……”
The fact that Mun Sang, who had become a prosecutor, was also acting as judge.
He sets the sentence and hands down the verdict himself.
‘He even prevents defense.’
This trial was nothing short of barbaric.
