When Count Church stood still under the throne, the Marquis of Trolope turned his head to look at the noble seat behind him, his eyes as sharp as a falcon.

Every nobleman who was swept by his gaze bowed their heads tremblingly, not daring to look at them at all.

Eventually, the marquis's gaze stayed in an inconspicuous position, and he shouted, "Viscount Hozia, please also come forward and be inquired about." ”

As soon as the words fell, the crowd behind Renard shook slightly, and an old man with a gray beard suddenly stood up and said in a frightened tone: "The matter of the attack on the Kingdom Mission has nothing to do with me. ”

The Marquis of Trollope stared at the other party for a moment, then suddenly smiled: "I didn't say that you had anything to do with this matter, I just wanted to ask some related questions." ”

The old man did not let his guard down at his explanation, and his steps slowly moved to the left, apparently trying to escape.

However, before he could put his ideas into action, several Praetorian guards completely blocked his path.

In the end, the Viscount of Hozia was also carried by two guards, and walked to the bottom of the throne with a face full of fear and unwillingness.

When the guards carried the other party past Renard, Lei Ye suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the old man with white hair.

He had accidentally met the old man at yesterday's birthday party, and he was in good spirits, red-faced, and high-spirited.

However, after only a dozen hours, he actually became the same as he is now, his face is pale, his hair is scattered, and his round face is full of wrinkles, as if he has aged twenty years overnight.

His legs trembled, and he seemed to have a hard time moving his steps, barely moving with the support of the two guards on his left and right.

Viscount Hozia finally stood side by side with Count Church, and the two looked at each other with miserable expressions.

The other nobles watched silently at the situation in front of them, and the timid even shrank back in their chairs, for fear that the next fire would burn on them.

Marquis Trolope glanced at the two people standing under the throne, then looked in the direction where Marquis Bowen was, and his originally stern voice suddenly softened: "Marquis Bowen, please also leave your seat for inquiry." ”

Compared to the horror of the first two, this marquis seemed very calm, after all, he was a victim, even if the king sent down the wrath of thunder, the unlucky one would never be

It would be him.

Marquis Bowen stood up and walked quickly to the bottom of the throne, the expression on his face was extremely serious and solemn, he first glared at the two people beside him, and at the same time let out a cold snort with a thick resentment, and then looked at His Majesty the King and bowed.

After the three of them stood still, the Marquis of Trollope did not continue to roll call, which made everyone present breathe a sigh of relief, and even Lei Ye felt that his breathing was a lot easier.

The Marquis of Troope walked up to the three men and walked five paces away from them, bowing respectfully to His Majesty the King on the throne, and then saluting the nobles present.

After everyone returned the salute, a decisive voice came from his mouth: "In accordance with the will of His Majesty the King, the trial of the attack on the Kingdom Mission in Kale County is now open. ”

Hearing this, everyone's hearts rose again, everyone was not stupid, and they obviously felt that the atmosphere in the conference hall was a little delicate.

Marquis Trolope looked at Marquis Bowen and said in a serious tone: "Marquis Bowen, now please tell what you saw and heard on the day of the attack in front of all the important ministers of the kingdom and Your Majesty. ”

"Please note that your words must be truthful and must not be mixed with any personal suspicion or innuendo that may mislead anyone's judgment......"

The public trial process is actually very simple, the plaintiff provides testimony evidence, the defendant refutes, the jury argues based on the information provided by the two, gives opinions and suggestions, and finally the presiding judge and the trial judge make a verdict after discussion.

However, this public trial is somewhat special, the king is the presiding judge, the Marquis of Trolope is the jury, the nobles are the jury, the plaintiff is naturally the Marquis Bowen and other members of the mission, and the defendant has not yet, or it is not expressly stated.

It was not until the Marquis of Trollope had finished his statement that the Marquis Bowen took a deep breath and recounted the attack on the mission in a relatively flat voice.

Although his narration is very prosaic, the marquis's narration is quite eloquent, who makes the family also a diplomat.

Marquis Bowen portrays the fierce battle in great detail and emotion, praising not only the bravery of the guards and the fearlessness of the victims, but also the abomination of the attackers.

When he said the key moment, he couldn't help but speed up the narration, and his face matched with a frightened expression, which made the observer feel a sense of immersive tension.

Finally, he stated: "Although the attackers were dressed like bandits, they were very strong and cooperative, and they were not far behind the army. ”

Marquis Bowen said, seemingly unconsciously looking at Viscount Hozia and Count Church beside him: "Actually, I prefer that these attackers are members of mercenary groups, or the private army of some lords. ”

Suddenly, there was a lot of discussion.

It is not uncommon for mercenaries to unite and gang up, but this is the first time that they have been robbed of Kingdom Missions.

The Kingdom Mission is considered to be a strong soldier and a strong horse, and there is no escort of any goods, so what is the point of the other party robbing the mission?

So everyone invariably thought of the second half of each other's words - the private army of certain lords.

The nobles looked at Viscount Hozia and Count Church, and all kinds of complex flavors appeared in the depths of their eyes.

When the Marquis of Trolope heard the words of the Marquis of Bowen, his face immediately sank, and he reprimanded: "Please pay attention to your words, Marquis Bowen, I said that your statement should not be mixed with any personal suspicion. ”

When the Marquis of Bowen heard this, he hurriedly apologized to him: "I'm sorry, Your Excellency the Marquis of Trolloppe. ”

The other party had a good attitude, and the Marquis of Trollope did not continue to reprimand, turned around and looked around, and said in a deep voice: "Quiet!

The majestic voice resounded through the council chamber, and the aristocrats who were talking about it were all silent.

Marquis Trolope looked at Marquis Bowen and asked in a serious tone: "May I ask Marquis Bowen, do you know the identity of the attacker, or do you have evidence to prove the identity of the other party." ”

Marquis Bowen nodded: "I have received testimony from several attackers who proved that they were mercenaries, and according to the confessions of these people, they did not come to rob, but someone hired them with the intention of assassinating me. ”

The Marquis of Trollope stretched out his hand and asked, "Where's the evidence?"

Marquis Bowen seemed to be prepared, took out a few envelopes directly from his pocket and handed them over.

The Marquis of Trollope asked again, "Where are those attackers now?"

Marquis Bowen frowned slightly when he heard this, and then said in a helpless tone: "All of them are dead, some are seriously injured and die, and some are committed suicide in fear of sin, anyway, there is no living left." ”
