Chapter 589 - 568
Heavenly Might Hall hadn’t been opened for several years, and hearing it was to reopen, the residents of Wild Horse City were very excited, showing great enthusiasm.
Those qualified to enter Heavenly Might Hall for a public trial were either extremely vicious criminals or individuals from influential backgrounds. Either kind would attract great attention from the masses, because the former were universally despised, and the latter were even more hated.
Which noble family didn’t have a few unworthy descendants? No matter how many good deeds a noble family did, just one unworthy descendant could spoil everything, like a rat ruining a pot of porridge! Besides, which noble family would do good deeds?
Therefore, the common people in the city harbored a resentment towards the wealthy families.
It was said that today in Heavenly Might Hall, the Situ Family was defending the one whom the Fu Family detested, naturally giving rise to a sensation of watching a heated drama — a case of a dog biting a dog, a mouth full of fur, no matter whether that person was judged guilty or innocent, people didn’t care. What they cared about was what spectacle the two noble families would make of themselves.
That day, although not exactly deserted, the streets were definitely two to three times less busy than usual. People were sitting in front of special formations that transmitted the proceedings of the Heavenly Might Hall trial in real-time.
That’s why it was called a public trial!
Seeing that it was about time, Zhou Heng, accompanied by the Moon Shadow Saintess and Yang Lanxin, swaggered into Heavenly Might Hall.
As there were special formations everywhere transmitting the trial, there weren’t many people crowded outside Heavenly Might Hall, so Zhou Heng and his party walked in without any trouble.
Heavenly Might Hall indeed lived up to its name, being a massive and spectacular hall, supported by twelve hundred-foot columns—this hall had no walls on all sides!
