Chapter 156: Acquittal
Elder Karl was temporarily transferred to take over the trial court and convict Alexis under a new law.
According to Chen Feng's instructions in advance, the process of the trial was completely transparent, and the progress should be open to civilians at all times.
This is the first serious case of aristocratic crime since the founding of the Monty Empire, Alexis is still a noble count, and he is also the lineage of the three generations of the family, so it has caused a lot of sensation in the Monty Royal City.
Not only among the commoners and slave circles, but also the royal family and other counts closely watched the process of the trial.
Will the new law be able to establish its authority in the hearts of more than 10 million civilians?
However, the evidence collected is very limited, and the bodies of the girls who were persecuted by him were burned and all evidence was destroyed due to the passage of time, and their relatives also denied it, agreeing that it had nothing to do with Count Alexis.
Although there are many doubts, there is no evidence.
After several trials, Alexis was acquitted in court.
"What kind of Zen concession system is there to give up your throne to outsiders, and then let him deal with the nobles with prominent status? What is going on in the mind of our noble Princess Leah?"
Count Alexis was not surprised by the outcome of the trial, which he had long expected.
If it was still the original Monti Kingdom, the nobles who held the Count of Orders, no matter how serious the crime, as long as they did not violate the fundamental interests of the royal family, would be exempted from the death penalty.
The news soon reached Chen Feng's ears, and he summoned Elder Kar Ge to ask the reason?
"Governing the country according to the law, the law does not favor personal gain, I did what you ordered, and there is indeed not enough evidence to prove Alexis guilty, so I had to acquit him. ”
"He stunned Frosty in front of me, and he did something to her? ”
"But after all, Miss Shuangyi is of a different race and cannot testify in court, and the other deceased girls, due to the passage of time, the evidence of the crime has long been destroyed, and the trial court has also been bribed by Alexis, so it has not left any useful evidence. ”
Karl Ge Lao bowed slightly, "If it was the former Monty Kingdom, you could have forcibly convicted, but the current Monty Empire needs to establish the majesty of the law, and you can't punish crimes at will without evidence." ”
"Is it really impossible to convict?"
Chen Feng put down the scroll in his hand and squinted at Elder Kar Ge: "Or Elder Kar Ge, you didn't do your best at all?" Or did you accept Alexis' benefits and deliberately not punish him?"
"The minister is willing to defend the new law with his life, and he will never dare to bend the law for personal gain!" Elder Kargel resolutely denied.
"Okay, you step aside, I'll make a decision on this matter. ”
Chen Feng retreated from the old Karl Pavilion, and Shuang Yi pushed open the screen and walked over briskly from behind.
"Your identity as an emperor is too wasteful, can't even kill your own courtiers? If we in the Dragon Clan dare to do anything to me, no matter what your identity is? My father will definitely rip out his head. ”
The new law of the Monty Empire made Shuang Yi a little confused.
It is equivalent to putting shackles on the common aristocracy of the whole country, and at the same time tying their own feet, and the status and status of the commoners will be improved, which means that the rights of the ruling class will be greatly weakened.
I've never seen a clan leader do such a stupid thing, except for Chen Feng......
"Just because the new law won't work in the short term doesn't mean it's useless. ”
Chen Feng looked at Shuangyi, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"What do you want to do with these obscene eyes? I swear to death!" Frost Yi clenched her small fists and threatened viciously.
"Didn't you seek revenge on Count Alexis? Chen Feng asked Shuang Yi to come closer, and then told her his plan in detail.
"What about using me as a sword envoy again?" Frost Yi pouted, "This is a thankless task, don't expect me to do it for you." ”
According to the plan that Chen Feng had just made on a whim, it was Shuang Yi who would assassinate Count Alexis, and then the Praetorian Guards would rush to clean up the mess.
The punishment of the human race cannot restrain the dragon clan, because of this loophole, he can be acquitted, send troops to repatriate the dragon clan, and then take the opportunity to cancel the marriage contract.
"Is this a difficult task, do you need me to send Greenland to help?"
"Who do you look down on? The strength of our dragon clan is much stronger than that of your human race, if I wasn't drugged during the day, how could those guards capture me?"
Provoked by Chen Feng like this, Shuang Yi pushed the door and left, silver wings grew on his back, and flew towards the vast night sky.
Immediately, Chen Feng summoned Greenland and asked her to lead four hundred forbidden troops to rush into the mansion after the battle between Shuangyi and the Earl's Court was completely over.
Chen Feng knew a little about Shuangyi's true combat power, and he was not very strong, but Alexis and the guards of the Earl's Court were unlikely to be her opponents.
"Forget it, for the sake of safety, I'll go there myself!" Chen Feng and Greenland, with four hundred forbidden troops, bumped into Commander Heyman as soon as they left the dormitory.
"It's so late, Your Majesty, why are you leaving the palace?" Commander looked at the people behind him.
These were no ordinary squires, but brave and skilled Praetorian Guards, with knightly emblems, but deliberately wearing a robe over them to conceal their identities.
"I'll take Greenland out for a walk, will Commander Hayman take care of this?"
"I'm afraid it's not a walk, it's a revenge. Commander Hayman blocked Chen Feng and Greenland's way, bowed respectfully, and said, "As the supreme commander of the kingdom, Lao Chen has the obligation to prevent Your Majesty from doing something out of line.
Among the Earl's Order holders, Alexis is particularly noble, even competing with Gladstone as a king, and if you abuse lynching, you will destroy the prestige of the new law on the one hand, and provoke a mutiny in the barracks on the other. ”
Count carefully analyzed the pros and cons, wanting Chen Feng to dispel his thoughts.
Even though he knew Alexis's crime in his heart, he didn't want to say it, let alone be condemned to death.
At present, there are frequent external wars, and if there is another internal strife, the nascent Monty Empire will become a lonely boat in the storm, and it will face the risk of collapse at any time.
Combining the pros and cons, we can only bend the law for personal gain.
Karl Ge Lao held the same opinion as him, so he deliberately acquitted Alexis in court on the grounds that there was insufficient evidence.
"We really went out for a walk and let the forbidden army wear robes, because we wanted to pay a private visit and not alarm the civilians, and if Commander didn't believe it, we could go together. ”
"The minister has just had dinner, the lower abdomen is distended and painful, and he happens to want to take a walk to relieve his hunger, and it is an honor for the minister to be able to walk with His Majesty. ”
Seeing that things could not be stopped, Commander Heyman had to pass all the way, and if Chen Feng had deviant behavior, he could stop it in time.
