83: Supreme Judge of the Solar System Imperial Court

“The Guard Division? Why are they looking for me?”

Li Yang was puzzled, and with a hint of doubt, he accepted the Guard Division's communication request.

“Hello, I am Li Yang. Is there something you need?”

Li Yang's tone carried a trace of confusion.

“Comrade Li Yang, hello. We have received a report that personnel from the Blue Star Management Department, on your planet Blue Star, openly assaulted an Imperial Citizen. According to legal regulations, we should have directly taken the reported individuals for investigation. However, since Blue Star is under your jurisdiction, we are only here to notify you. The accuser has already submitted a prosecution against the reported individuals to the Solar System Imperial Court, so please come and handle this as soon as possible. Thank you.”

The Guard Division's attitude seemed very friendly, clearly stating that they would not directly take Liu Zhi, but would leave it to Li Yang to handle upon his return.

“Alright, I understand.”

Li Yang responded.

After ending the call with the Guard Division, Li Yang couldn't help but frown slightly, pondering to himself.

“How exactly did Xia Quan handle this? How did he manage to involve both the Guard Division and the Imperial Court?”

Although he continuously expressed dissatisfaction, Li Yang knew in his heart that he still had to go back and deal with this matter. Otherwise, how would his subordinates view him as a leader?

If he wasn't even willing to help his subordinates out of such a small predicament, who would be willing to work for him?

However, if he returned now, the past few days of travel would have been completely in vain. Li Yang fell into thought, and after a moment, he came up with a solution.

“I've got it. A holographic projection should count as me returning, right? The Guard Division should be easier to deal with, but since this matter has already involved the court, I might as well go find Anno.”

Li Yang muttered to himself.

He decided to first find a way to sort out the court side, leaving the Guard Division for later. After the court matter was resolved, he would then visit the Guard Division.

After all, Anno's father was the chief justice of the This Galaxy Cluster's highest Imperial Court. With that connection, a small Solar System Imperial Court should at least be willing to listen, right? On the other side, Anno was still quietly handling official duties on Mars.

After all, a batch of Blue Star humans had already relocated, and now Mars was gradually becoming lively, slowly attracting alien visitors.

“Beep... Li Yang has initiated a call request to you...”

The smart brain's notification sound rang out.

“Li Yang? He's looking for me? Accept call.”

Anno was a bit surprised, but quickly gave the command to accept.

Once Anno accepted the call, Li Yang's holographic projection instantly appeared before Anno.

“This is my first time using this projection. It actually feels quite good.”

Li Yang curiously looked at his body, reached out and touched it. He could even feel a real sensation. Although his consciousness was here, his main body still remained on the star destroyer.

“Captain Li Yang, with your esteemed presence, I don't have much here to entertain you. Please be understanding.”

Anno said with a smile.

“No need for entertainment. I came this time because I have an important matter I need your help with.”

Li Yang said directly.

Upon hearing this, Anno's eyes immediately lit up like brilliant stars. After all, if he helped Li Yang, Li Yang would undoubtedly owe him a favor. In the future, if Anno needed help with something, Li Yang would surely return the favor.

One had to know, judging by Li Yang's promotion speed, once his rank soared high in the future, asking him for help then would be an absolute steal.

“Help? Please, feel free to command me. As long as it is within my capabilities, I will do my utmost to achieve it.”

“The situation is like this...”

Seeing Anno's willingness to help, Li Yang then unhurriedly explained the entire sequence of events.

“Assaulting an Imperial Citizen in public... this is indeed quite difficult to handle...”

Anno slowly spoke, a troubled expression on his face.

“What? Even you are at a loss?”

Hearing Anno's words, Li Yang couldn't help but feel confused. Anno's father was a high-ranking and powerful official. Could such a small matter really not be resolved?

“Ah, for others, it would indeed be difficult, but for me, it's effortless! Since you plan to handle the Guard Division yourself, I only need to sort out the court side.”

“Hmm, I thought so too. It's just that I don't really know anyone at the court...”

Saying this, Li Yang shook his head helplessly.

If he knew someone at the court, he wouldn't have had to come to Anno for help. After all, favors aren't something that can be easily repaid.

“If the sequence of events contains no false elements, from the perspective of Imperial law, a non-human citizen assaulting a human official is undoubtedly illegal. However, an official assaulting an Imperial Citizen in public, damaging the empire's image, is also illegal. So, neither side actually gains an advantage, because it was a mutual assault. Therefore, the final decision-making power basically does not rest with either of the two parties...”

“Then with whom?”

“Naturally, with the Chief Justice of the court! Because both are guilty, the final decision-making power rests entirely with the Chief Justice!”

Anno then smiled slightly and called another person through his smart brain.

“Please wait a moment. I have already sent a message to the chief justice of the Solar System Imperial Court. I estimate he should arrive shortly.”

Anno said.

Seeing that the chief justice of the Solar System Imperial Court would be arriving soon, Li Yang couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

He hadn't expected Anno's methods to be so impressive, that he could summon the chief justice just like that.

Originally, he had thought Anno would only call other ordinary Chief Justices or something similar. He never expected him to call the highest Chief Justice.

Since that was the case, it was naturally for the best.
