Chapter 477: Adultery is a sin
Chapter 477: Adultery is a sin
"The crime of adultery and the crime of stealing are not light. Leitch said expressionlessly.
Although Leitch is still expressionless, Jocelyn is very happy, he knows the essence of these nobles very well - when they think you are useful, they will treat you like gold and jewelry, but once it touches their interests and fame, they will definitely beat you down the abyss without mercy!
In Jocelyn's mind, now in full view of everyone, even if this Viscount of Black Wind values Karl's kid again, he will never ignore honor and prestige and openly protect a guilty person! He will even stab Carl in turn to clear his relationship with Carl, so as to save his face, this is the consistent style of these nobles!
"Carl, tell everyone how old you are this year, and when did you go to Thunderman City. Leitch suddenly looked at Karl, who was directly opposite Jocelyn, and asked.
"Returning to Lord Viscount, I am now twenty-two, and my brother Bill and I arrived in Thunderman City ten years ago, escorted by a servant, with a caravan. "Carl has always been the same wooden as Jocelyn's accusations.
"Then let me ask you, apart from the time you joined the Black Wind Knights, have you ever left the Thunderman Territory?"
"Absolutely not. Karl shook his head very solemnly, and then his gaze suddenly appeared a little deep, and he said with a look of recollection, "Ten years ago, the faithful servant who escorted my brother and me all the way to Thunderman City died of a serious injury in less than a month, and we had spent all our savings to treat the servant's injuries. So after that, my brother and I became beggars and wandered in the lower part of Thunderman City for almost a year. Later, I met the former leader of the Troll Mercenary Regiment, Darris, who took in our brother and let us do chores in the mercenary group, and the two of us have stayed in the Troll Mercenary Group ever since. ”
"Since Carl claims that he hasn't left Thunderman's territory in the years he's been with the Troll Mercenary Regiment, I'll trust him, because it's not hard to confirm whether what he's saying is true. Hearing this, Leitch nodded slightly, and the tens of thousands of people in the square did not have any objection to Leitch's statement.
"As for Carl joining my Knights of the Black Wind later, accompanying me to fight in the Succubus Sea, and guarding my colony in the Succubus Sea for me - during this time, I dare to vouch for the honor and reputation of my Viscount Black Wind, he Karl Anzath has never been to the territory of the Wallspring River!" Reich said loudly, and the others nodded again when they heard this.
"So that is to say, Sir Jocelyn, the *** crime you accuse, was committed by Karl before he was twelve years old. Twelve," Leitch touched his chin slightly, turned his head to look at Carl, stared at him seriously, and asked, "Carl, tell everyone, did you have any hair at that time?"
"Hahaha-"
The whole square was eerily silent for a second, and the sound of the breeze could be clearly heard, and then the whole square erupted into a burst of incomparably enthusiastic laughter, and many people laughed so much that they coughed incessantly and had stomach cramps!
Even Carl, who has always been wooden, has a rare flush on his face at this time......
"Aha-"
Lawski and Arthur on the edge of the audience somewhere, both of them also held their stomachs and laughed, Lawsky even laughed so much that tears came out, especially when they saw Karl, who had never had any pigtails for them to grab, it was rare to show such an embarrassed look at this time, and they felt that they couldn't stop laughing at all!
In comparison, Arthur didn't smile as exaggerated as Lawski (although he did laugh a lot...... When he laughed, he didn't forget to pat Bill's shoulder on the side, and comforted: "I said, you don't need to worry about Carl at all, with the head of the regiment, that clown must not do anything with Carl!"
"I've never been worried. Bill grinned, revealing two rows of sparkling teeth, "On the contrary, I'm looking forward to what Jocelyn's groom is going to die next!"
As he spoke, unlike his usual grinning appearance, a cold glint flashed in Bill's eyes, and Arthur couldn't help but shudder when he saw it.
After a long while, after the laughter gradually stopped, Ricky first nodded slightly, then stared at Jocelyn seriously, and asked in a fierce voice: "So, Sir Jocelyn, now please tell me, how did Carl, who was less than twelve years old, commit *** crime, and who is the victim of *** by him?"
Being stared at by Leitch with a cold gaze, Jocelyn only felt like falling into an ice cave - how did he know who was *** by Carl, this was originally his nonsense!
That's right, these two charges are indeed Jocelyn's nonsense, before leaving, Count Harmon just asked him to arrest the Carl brothers from the Holy City of Tianqin back to the territory of the Biquan River, as for what the charges are, it is entirely up to Jocelyn to decide! This is also why on the 'extradition order' that Leitch saw, he only saw the extradition of the criminals Carl and the Bill brothers, and there were no specific charges at all!
At this time, Jocelyn only felt a feeling of lifting a stone and hitting himself in the foot, originally he felt that since he had taken out the 'extradition order', for the sake of Earl Hammon's face, this Viscount of the Black Wind should not be embarrassed by himself! As for the evidence or something, as long as you catch the two of Carl, go back and make up some casually!
But what Jocelyn didn't expect was that this Viscount Black Wind was so thoughtful! Even Jocelyn had faintly seen that Viscount Black Wind had no intention of abandoning the Carl brothers at all!
"This, that," Jocelyn, although he was indeed a little cunning and clever, was far from great wisdom, and now he was stared at like this by a powerful viscount and tens of thousands of pairs of eyes, his original pride and arrogance had long since been thrown into a corner, and for a while he was so nervous that he couldn't even straighten his tongue!
"What, that, don't tell me your evidence is 'this', and then Carl *** is the one - are you entertaining me, or are you insulting my intelligence?"
"Yes, it's the Countess, Carl this kid *** Countess!Ah, no, it's a peek, Carl this kid peeked at the Countess!" For a while, because of excessive nervousness, Qiao Celin, whose brain had been unable to turn due to excessive atrophy, just blindly piled up words into his mouth.
"Take a peek? Are you so picky about the laws of your Biquan River Territory? Just because you glanced at the Countess, you will be convicted of *** crimes? If my territory is like this, I estimate that even if the prison is expanded tenfold, it will not be able to lock up so many people present!" Reich shook his head with a look of disbelief, which made Mavis on the side glare at him coquettishly-of course, our Viscount was sending a code to himself, well, entering some in-depth communication code together at night......
"Hahaha-"
The square erupted in laughter again.
"No, I," Jocelyn said intermittently, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, quickly rolling his eyes, "I, I mean, Carl peeked at the Countess while she was taking a bath!
The faster Jocelyn spoke, the more excited he became, and he felt that he had just gotten to the point this time—although it was not a big sin to peek at a woman taking a bath, but the problem was that it was the honorable Countess who was peeking at! Although this was his own nonsense, the problem was that the key person was the Countess! Even if the Countess needed to stand up and confront her, wouldn't she still stand on her side? Although this would slightly damage her reputation, as long as it could solve the Countess's troubles, what was this reputation?
For a moment, Jocelyn, who was well-thoughtd, unconsciously straightened his chest and secretly became proud again......
"Idiot. ”
"What?" said Jocelyn, confused.
"I say that you Sir Jocelyn is an idiot, which means mentally retarded. The second half of the sentence immediately made most of the people present immediately understand the meaning of the word 'idiot' (the remaining few have all read "Viscount Black Wind Quotations"), including Jocelyn, so suddenly his face turned red as if he could drip blood!
"Although it is undignified for a nobleman, I want to give you this word. Ignoring Jocelyn, whose face was getting more and more ugly, Leitch stared at him with a cold face, and said sharply, "I just want to ask, as the most noble woman in the territory of the Biquan River, does your countess usually take a bath in the river?
"Hahaha-" Tens of thousands of people laughed again.
"Okay," this time Leitch directly interrupted Jocelyn, who still wanted to continue to argue, and said a little impatiently, "In addition, I am not interested in knowing what kind of theft you are talking about, because I think you are here to make trouble this time! I don't know if you are really here on behalf of Earl Hamon, but from today onwards, you Sir Jocelyn will be listed as a person who is not welcome in the Holy City of Lyra!"
"Someone, send Sir Jocelyn out of town!"
"Yes, Lord Viscount!" As Rykey's words fell, two Lyra Patrol Guards came up from the side, unceremoniously setting up Jocelyn and preparing to drag him out.
Qiao Celin, who was supported by two female guards, and his face had turned extremely pale, suddenly shouted like crazy: "Viscount Black Wind, you are ignoring the dignity of an earl! Aren't you afraid of triggering a war between the two territories? Our Biquan River territory is not far from here!"
There was silence, and the entire square suddenly fell into an eerie silence, as if a powerful mage had suddenly cast a large-scale silence spell on everyone! At this time, some people didn't even dare to come out, as if as long as they made even the slightest sound, there was really a possibility of a lord's war within the Federation!
"If you mean what Count Harmon meant, then I'll take it. Leitch said lightly.
