Chapter 172 Zhibo Haiyan
"Sentence! The lower-level nobleman Nakai Kyohei forcibly seized the property of Qianerju in the third district of Dongliuhun Street, resulting in the death of two people in Liuhun Street. He must compensate his family 150,000 rings and be banned from the clan for 15 years!"
The loud voice echoed in the magnificent hall, and a fat young man in the center showed a dissatisfied expression and did not speak.
"Kyohei Nakai, can you obey the judgment?"
"Ah, yes!"
"Do you have any objections?"
No one answered, and the man in the white robe in the center nodded slightly: "Then, this meeting is over, everyone can leave."
At the edge of the field, Ji Xing, who was also wearing a white aristocratic coat over a deadly bully outfit, put a notebook back into his arms, straightened his clothes, and turned to leave.
At this time, his appearance has grown from a 16-year-old boy to about 17 years old, but in fact he has become a spirit body for a full 10 years.
Time flies, and it has been eight years since Urahara Kisuke became the captain of the 12th team and transformed the 12th team into a technology development bureau. During these eight years, Ji Xing has always served as the third seat of the 12th team, and his life is simple.
On weekdays, the first team and the 12th team are basically two points and one line. When the captain has time, he actively asks Bai Dakendo for advice. When he has no time, he tinkers and invents in the 12th team and studies Yoshiko together with Kisuke Urahara.
Occasionally, he would go to talk to Ye Qie, or chat with Aizen who sneaked into his house.
In addition, it is to attend the 'Golden Seal Noble Meeting' in front of you every once in a while.
The so-called Jinyin noble meeting is a gathering exclusively for the noble family heads of Seireitei. The content is generally to mediate disputes between nobles, or to judge young nobles who have committed crimes.
The Patriarch of the Goutei Thirteenth Team like Ji Xing actually does not need to come. The Patriarch of the Tsunayashiro Family specially notified him for the first time.
He really checked Ji Xing's study of aristocratic etiquette, but fortunately Ji Xing was not lazy.
After that, it was Ji Xing who took the initiative, because it was quite interesting to listen to it once in a while.
For example, the aristocratic young man who was just tried ran a family shop in the third district of Dongliuhun Street, maliciously annexed similar shops, beat and killed the resisting shop owners of the same kind, causing extremely bad influence, and was accused at the Jinyin noble meeting.
But in the final judgment, the compensation of 150,000 rings is basically the money to buy the store, and the 15-year ban... is just a moment for the god of death.
This is normal, and there were worse situations before, but the upper echelons of the Golden Seal Noble Council upheld a tacit attitude——
Only massacres between nobles of the same level can be sentenced to death. No matter what the nobles do to ordinary wandering souls, at most they are grounded and fined.
The intensity of the punishment will be discussed by several senior noble councilors of the Golden Seal Noble Conference and the heads of the five noble families present at the meeting. Occasionally, when there is a dispute, all the nobles will vote with a show of hands.
Victim's relatives disagree? This is an aristocratic meeting, how can a wandering soul deserve to come in?
There are only cases where the judged are not satisfied.
"Yono Patriarch."
"Yono three seats."
"You still listen so carefully, I see you have recorded a lot of things."
The fellow nobles were very enthusiastic about him, and Ji Xing had always been very gregarious. He said with a smile, "I'm not like you. I've only been a nobleman for a few years. I have a lot to learn, and I've accumulated it for the future."
"As expected of you..."
"By the way, today's trial is a bit strict. I thought 10 years of grounding would be enough."
"After all, it happened in the third east district, where it is quite prosperous, and the influence is very bad..."
The politeness gradually fades away.
Of course, there are also a small number of nobles who feel that the trial is too loose, which has caused the descendants of the nobles to become more and more indulgent in recent years, but less is worse than more, and those people gradually seldom come to the Golden Seal Noble Meeting.
There is only one person who comes every time and who repeatedly disagrees with the majority.
"Yono!"
"Vice Captain Haiyan." Ji Xing greeted.
Behind him was a young man with a mark on the bridge of his nose, slightly long hair and a unique tattoo on his left wrist, Shiba Haiyan.
The Zhiba family is also one of the five great nobles, but it has gradually declined in recent years, mainly because it was squeezed out by other nobles.
The main family has been expelled to live in Rukon Street because of the reason that "the Hanazuru cannon is not suitable for firing in Seireitei", only the branch family is still living in Seireitei. The head of the branch family is Shiba Isshin, who is black Saki Ichigo's father was not in the Gotei 13th team at this time, and Ji Xing only met once.
The head of the main family is Shiba Haiyan in front of me, who nominally holds the same position as Tsunayado's Shifengin Yoichi.
In the gold seal noble meeting, he often spoke from the position of wandering souls, which was disliked by other nobles, but he didn't seem to realize it.
The two didn't know each other very well, but Zhibo Haiyan was acquainted, and when she caught up, she enthusiastically hooked Ji Xing's shoulder: "Youye Sanxi uses that notebook to record the meeting every time, and what he wrote down ah?"
Ji Xing smiled and said, "I remember the heroic appearance of Vice Captain Haiyan arguing with the directors."
Zhibo Haiyan shook her head and smiled: "What a heroic figure, those guys have tricked me into treating me like a child. On the surface, they seem to take my opinion into account, but in fact, they don't care about me at all when voting."
"Vice-Captain Haiyan knows, why does he come every time?" Ji Xing asked.
"If I don't even participate, won't some people completely lose their worries? Haha, at least expressing my opinion will make me feel better." Zhibo Haiyan said with a helpless smile.
"Let's not talk about this, Yono Sanshi, I have something to ask you."
Ji Xing asked: "What?"
"Hmm...my younger brother has been clamoring for a spirit glider lately, but the ones provided by the Technology Development Bureau are all for adult Reapers..."
"How old is your brother?"
"The age of the soul is 27 years old." Zhibo Haiyan compared her waist: "Height, about... like this."
A real eight or nine-year-old boy?
It is really not easy to raise a child born in the soul world with spiritual pressure aptitude, even if it is a child, the growth rate is only one-third of the current world, and the mental maturity rate is also slow.
"Using a hang glider at this age is a bit dangerous. He hasn't mastered the skill of standing in the air with spiritual seeds to pave the way, right?"
"It doesn't matter, my sister and I will watch him strictly when he uses the hang glider." Zhibo Haiyan clasped his hands together: "Please!"
"Actually, in recent years, many nobles have had the same demands as Deputy Captain Haiyan, and the Technology Development Bureau has rejected them all, because if something happens and someone is thrown out, we will be in trouble.
But if it's the vice-captain Haiyan... come with me to the 12th division team building, and I'll help you make a special spirit glider. "
"Special?" Zhibo Haiyan was taken aback, and quickly said, "Thank you!"
The two went to the team building of the 12th team together, and met a god of death on the way, and greeted them respectfully.
"Yono Sanshi! Vice Captain Shiba!"
When he walked to the 12th team building, Shiba Haiyan said with emotion: "Yono-kun is really welcome, it feels like walking with our captain, everyone will notice you first, greet you first, and treat me as a Hollow Man."
"It's just a false name accumulated by some messy things. Vice-Captain Haiyan, go and sit with me first, and it will be fine soon."
Walking into the 12th team's team building, more people greeted Ji Xing, but this time it was not 'Yo Ye San Xi', but 'Deputy Director'.
Eight years is just a moment in the long history of the soul world, but it is enough for the team members to change with the captain's personality. There are a number of technical geeks in the 12th team.
What they admire now is not Ji Xing's strength, but Ji Xing's endless brainstorming ideas and countless practical gizmos.
Returning to the team building was also as easy as home, Ji Xing waved his hand: "So who, help me get a finished Lingzi hang glider and 12 Lingzi brackets."
"...What is that so-and-so! Baldy!"
Hiyori's flying kick brushed Ji Xing's cheek, and Ji Xing smiled at Shiba Haiyan: "Don't blame us, our vice-captain is short-tempered."
"Uh, ah... I've heard it before..."
