Group 28.20-C : The Ten Sins of Reversing Good and Evil (4)
·
Why is Hathaway here?
You have already admitted "yes and what", why do they still have to work hard against each other? Lack of strength can't get the other party, it's a big deal to change places and make a comeback or just retire for the rest of the day, it's not a big deal. It is a villain to be involved in a weak female streamer!
"Woe to the waters, woe to the stars, burn her at the stake. ”
"But Lord Earl, she's not a witch. ”
"Demagoguery has harmed many kingdom talents, more vicious than a witch, and the results of the investigation also show that she believes in evil gods, right, is it not good to be immune to flames, remember to put more firewood, and the weather has been humid recently. ”
"Oh, oh, the earl is still wise, and he considers all aspects of the problem, and his subordinates will carry it out. ”
Hathaway, who was kneeling on the ground and hanging her head, didn't want to say anything.
Since ancient times, all disasters will be attributed to women, not to say that the king is mediocre but to say that Concubine Ji confuses the king's heart, not to say that the head of the family is incompetent but to say that the wife and concubine are immoral, not to say that the sea is risky and frightening, but to say that there is a woman on the ship, so it angers the sea god. Hathaway was too naïve to blame herself for the fact that she had to defend the previous three presidents, no, actually, she muttered in a voice smaller than a mosquito, "...... It's me...... Not good......"

Wait a minute!!!
·
The relaxed atmosphere in the courtroom was awakened by your sudden shouting, and became silent, and everyone stopped their movements and listened to you.
They don't know how you suddenly came back to life when you were half-dead and confessed your sins. The back is straight, the eyes are blazing, and the contours of the body seem to be enlarged. A soldier said, "Presumptuous!" and then reached out to press your shoulder, but the hand, as if it had been electrocuted, just landed on the shoulder and instantly shrunk.
Click,
Your handcuffs fall to the ground, and then you bend down to unlock the shackles with the key. There was an eerie and confused atmosphere in the courtroom, and no one could tell exactly when you got the key, except for a man who had been embarrassed to comb his hands, pull his wet hair back, and sit on the trial table with a slight leap.
Everyone's eyes are focused on every meaningless subtle movement of your fingertips, which is a kind of colorful psychedelia.
"What are you doing!" the Marquis's son stood up and smashed the presiding table to pieces with a single punch.
He can't tolerate you having your back to him!
All the soldiers and guards around the paladins woke up like a dream, and they all pulled out their weapons and pointed at you, and just waited for an order to chop you up the scraps of meat.
you
Shrug.
With a voice as clear as a mountain spring, the judgment seat filled the judgment with every word that came out of your mouth: Son of the great lord, if you don't want to listen to me, you can, if you don't believe my defense, you can, if you want to convict me? But you've crossed the line and arrested people you shouldn't have caught.
You point to the law enforcement team next to the Marquis's son and ask: Is the suspect "in chains" in the courtroom?
The law enforcement team was stunned,
After thinking about it, he shook his head: "Of course it doesn't have to, after all, no one else around you is wearing it." ”
So, I picked the lock myself, is it a crime?
The law enforcement team and the marquis's son opened their eyes wide, and the former touched his chin and muttered for a long time: "This...... Theoretically, no. ”
So, is there a rule that suspects can't sit?
The law enforcement team rubbed their brows, their eyes circling wildly: "Although no one is sitting under normal circumstances, it is ......"
The Marquis's son twitched at the corner of his mouth and waved his hand to signal everyone to lay down their weapons. It doesn't matter, it's just the last struggle before death, anyway, all three crimes just now were convicted. As soon as he thought this, you said in a loud voice: Don't be delusional, uneducated fellows - there is a difference between the meaning of "yes and what" and "I confess my sins!"
Don't believe anything I say, do you? No! Yes! Believe! I'll let the testimony come out of someone's mouth right now!
“...... What do you mean?" the son of the Marquis did not understand.
Ignoring him, you point to the captain of the guard and ask, "Me, how many levels?"
"Huh?" the captain of the guard was stunned for a moment, and recalled, "According to the information, you should be level seven or eight now?"
Witnesses saw at the time, how many people did I take with me?
"Uh...... Two or three. ”
Can there be a high level?
“...... Doesn't look like it?"
The captain of the guard tugged at his collar as if he understood something, and continued: "...... In this way, if I suddenly encountered a large number of elite shark warriors and a red dragon with two or three guards, of course, it would be absolutely impossible to defeat. According to Kingdom law, two basic conditions must be met to qualify for the crime of "death or death"—first, sufficient ability, and second, sufficient importance to the victim. It is clear that the Adventurer's Guild Master does not meet the former condition. ”
You admit that you can't save yourself when you die, because it will be more troublesome if you admit that you sent the red dragon, but admitting that you didn't save yourself and admitting that you are guilty are two different things!
The son of the marquis suddenly drew his sword and roared angrily: "Shut up! Lao Tzu doesn't want to listen to your nonsense! Come on, ...... him for me."
Instead, you yelled back and told him to shut up!
Then he pointed to the fake Viscount of Polz and continued to ask the councillor, what was the position between Viscount Polz and Ms. Sylvana at that time?
"Huh?...... Oh, oh, oh, I see!" the councillor suddenly came to his senses, and described the scene of the murder with his hands in his hands, "I have seen it, when Viscount Polz was drinking wine on the balcony and looking out, and Lady Sylvana was sitting on the innermost chaise longue. The murder weapon - the diameter of the broken pillar is only one meter, and the width of the balcony door is about one meter and a half, which means that theoretically if the broken pillar wants to hit Ms. Sylvana, it must first hit Viscount Portz!"
What?—what does it have to do with him if Poltz blinked?
He didn't understand, but the son of the marquis himself quickly understood.
The councillor flipped out the information in a panic and submitted it: "This is the testimony I collected at the time! The testimony of Viscount Polz and the two attendants of the eyewitnesses is the same: the broken pillar flew over, and Viscount Portz immediately fell to the ground, and then shouted "Lady Sylvana! Be careful!"
The fake Poltz suddenly became anxious, because he also began to understand: "Damn! think clearly and open your mouth again, what the hell are you going to say!"
Hehe, the councillor didn't know that the viscount in front of him was a fake, only that he finally grasped the opportunity to take revenge, and his whole body was as happy as an electric current, and this kind of opportunity could never be missed!" I now formally sue Viscount Polz for committing the crime of "seeing death and not saving"! First, he knew very well that the life of the marquis's granddaughter behind him was in danger, but he chose to lie down first, instead of standing up against the broken pillar to protect the nobles! He had the ability, but he didn't do it! Second, the Marquis's granddaughter is the heir of the greatest nobleman in the region, and the importance of the victim is absolutely satisfying for the conviction of the crime!
Groove ...... Fake Polz didn't know what was going on, why did suddenly the plaintiff become the defendant?
Yes, Poltz was on the balcony, yes, he could have protected Ms. Sylvana with his death at that time, but ...... "Why should I ......!"
"Viscount, you...... Say what?"
The fake Poltz shook his whole body, looked up with black lines on his face, and found that the high count was angry because of a leak. Whatever the facts, the phrase "why protect Ms. Sylvana" should not be said in itself.
Scratching his head, Fake Polz comes to his senses, points at you and shouts: "Don't be deceived by the Elder's clever words!
The councillor sneered, "I remember, the elder didn't say a word of justification. Are you trying to say that I can't be trusted either?"
"Is there still me?" the captain of the guard didn't know that what was in front of him was a fake, and his hatred for Boltz was much deeper than that of the parliamentarians, "It's funny." Of the four people present, none of us can be trusted, could it be that only what your Viscount said is worthy of testimony? ”
"I'm ......," Fake Poltz covered his face, spun his train of thought quickly, "let me figure it out." That's right, that's right! The elder advocates that "I don't have enough combat power to face the shark man and the red dragon", but in fact, it is the shark man who comes first, and the red dragon comes last! When he saw the shark man, the elder did not go to the rescue in time, it is a fact!
These words choke the captain of the guard and the councillor, and they all look at you.
The son of the Marquis returned to his seat.
One thing that's particularly ridiculous: no one believes what you say, but everyone is waiting for you to say something, they really know what they're doing, right?
You reminded the captain of the guard that when you left Fountain Square on the 19th, you really headed for the bottom of the road?
"Huh?" the captain of the guard crossed his arms, seriously pondering your prompt, and suddenly realized in half a minute, revealing a row of snow-white teeth, "Ha, yes! According to the investigation report of my guard, the elder entered the water tank under the fountain square at that time, which witness saw them go to the bottom of the road? I apply now, and the inquisition court will call witnesses and confront them face to face!"
The Marquis's son frowned deeply, and the fake poltz's eyes widened.
Witness?
No.
Witnesses in the fountain square only saw you enter the cistern, and if the mine personnel saw you, they would not be killed, and they all ran away.
"Dear Earl and the Law Enforcement Team! I have once again sued the Viscount for a "defamation charge", and I have submitted a lawsuit against him in a matter of great circumstances, even though the evidence is insufficient. "If I were you, I would be careful to justify the crime of slander." If you're going to say, "Oh, there were witnesses, but they all ran away," you're going to be charged with a more serious crime of "exploiting and persecuting employees." ”
"I'm squeezing, persecuting, talking nonsense!"
"Isn't it because you suffered an economic loss of up to 70,000 gold, you brutally retaliated against the mine personnel, and even forced them to work overtime to make up for this bad debt next to the red dragon, so they ran away in misery?"
The fake Poltz gritted his teeth, but he had nothing to say, because it was not right to say anything. If there is no persecution of the miners, it is a "slander" without witnesses, and if there is persecution, the crime is even more serious. After all, he is not really capable Poltz, and he doesn't know how to fight back for a while.
Immediately afterwards, the captain of the guard stroked his chest on the high platform and saluted: "Honorable adults, I, the guard, officially apply for the "Praise" Adventurer Guild Leader!"
The son of the marquis crushed the gavel in his hand, suspecting that he had misheard.
"The Lord expelled the Red Dragons from the vicinity of the mines, and restored the normal operation of a very important economic output in the Bay of Five Lanes. Presumably, after the old marquis recovered, he would be happy to hear the news. ”
"I'm in the council hall, seconding it!"
Who is going to have trouble with money?
If the red dragon is there, the mine will not be able to work normally, and the red dragon will leave, so that the bay of the five lanes can continue to make money for the lord. The son of the marquis raised his fist high, smashed the last judgment table into sawdust with his bare hands, and squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "Hmm...... I'll follow ...... Father's application...... of this merit. The first, he said that "it has nothing to do with me" is simply irresponsible to the point of outrageousness, I am afraid that the adventurer's heart will freeze if he is there, and the second, he said that he was "forced to do so" completely unaware that he was an intruder, and his confession attitude was extremely bad. So, let the trial continue, the fourth charge, "dangerous ......"
·
Wait a minute!!!
·
You shook the court again: Who the said that the first two pleaded guilty?
The son of the marquis was so angry that his teeth creaked: "Little rabbit cub, are you a little responsible, okay? Lao Tzu has no intention of taking your life, even if you struggle ugly, there are still many crimes! I just confessed, and now I regret it, do you have half the dignity of a nobleman?"
I didn't admit it just now!
If I am alone, it is not a big deal to admit it, this five-lane bay from the underworld to the white road, from top to bottom, is rotten to the bones, and I don't want to play anymore! I am still a man to take a crime and go home to farm! However, it is not my problem to confess my guilt now, and it is impossible to implicate a woman! It is impossible to admit it!
At that time, the Marquis's son thought that he had won, and that it would be effortless to win, and he carelessly brought the next suspect, Hathaway, to court, but unexpectedly it became the beginning of your angry counterattack.
As for the second charge, "deliberately seeking to cause trouble," don't you not believe your words? Yes! Let someone else say it!
Just now Boltz said that "the market guards lightly and seriously injured twelve people", may I ask, everyone can come to the celebration, what crime did the guild commit to provoke the market guards to gather?
"Took the little girl's ice cream!"
"Oh, does that take twelve?"
The captain of the guard left the fake Polz speechless, and the latter immediately changed his words:
"Because of the sea salt!"
"Oh, according to our guards, you sent hundreds of market guards to chase the salt caravan, but after dark, why don't you send someone to chase after you immediately, but arrest the elder first?"
"Because he is in someone else's name!"
After hearing this, the captain of the guard smiled and flipped through the information in his hand: "Ha! This testimony has not been submitted before. In the name of "whom?"
"Clay, of course...... It hurts!"
Fake Poltz had bright red blood flowing from his forehead. Before he could finish speaking, he was thrown by the earl, and the mallet broke his head. The son of the high-ranking marquis just shook four words coldly - the viscount said carefully.
yes, Shen Yan......
The reason why the real Viscount of Polz never mentioned the fraudulent sale of sea salt in the name was because Clementine Walter was a confidant of Lady Sylvana and a crime under the sun. Talking nonsense is tantamount to accusing Ms. Sylvana of stealing her grandfather's huge money. Some rot everyone knows that they have one eye open and one eye closed, but if they have to tear off the blood scab and emit a foul smell, then they can only dig up the carrion, and the blood will be dripping. No one has the ability to be here, alive to accuse the Count's daughter.
"So, sea salt...... Can you assume that you didn't say it?"
“......”
"So, there is no legitimate reason for the market guards to gather twelve people to round up the president?"
“......”
So, the president had a "legitimate reason" to attend a festival that anyone could attend, but the market guards attacked the president for "no reason"? The captain of the guard paused, and saluted to the high platform, "I formally apply! to revoke the charge of "deliberately seeking trouble on the side" of the leader of the Adventurer's Guild, I don't know what you think?"
Silence.
It's just a fake, and there are no two brushes like Viscount Polz at all, but if you have to fight hard, you can only get more and more miserable. The fake Poltz really couldn't swallow this breath, and after being silent for half a minute, he said word by word: "No." We have a reason. He disrupted the normal order of the talent market. The timing is in line with the evidence, and the evidence is conclusive. ”
Oh, the son of the Marquis came to his senses, straightened his waist, and asked with interest, "Talent market?" ”
"Let's take it for me!" "The councillor has been completely excited from the initial half-dead state, his eyes are shining, and he has been waiting for the opportunity to suppress Viscount of Polz for too long, "For many years, Lord Viscount has covered up the reality of the "slave trade" in the name of the "talent market", and the whole operation process has been extremely sophisticated and cautious, but the Council has continued to collect evidence over the years. I think adults are well aware that just because you don't have a collar doesn't mean you're a free man. Worst of all, the slave trade and meat eaters colluded to operate. In Wuxiang Bay, people, not just people, are more nutritious food. ”
"Be careful! ”
"I'm cautious, Lord Earl, and since I didn't expect the opportunity to sue the Viscount, I have not brought with me any evidence of the secret hidden in my house. I can guarantee with my life! When the trial here is over, I will immediately go home and get the evidence of his slave trafficking, all of which are shocking, and you can kill my head if the charges are not true! That's how confident!" the councillor spoke with confidence. He is different from the captain of the guard who has been subjected to frontal suppression for a long time, but hides in the shadows, and collects incriminating evidence, so he has gained a lot. All he needs is a chance to definitely win! In fact, if he can't sue Boltz anyway, he will definitely die, and he doesn't need to vouch for anything.
The son of the marquis held his head, not knowing what to do for the time being. The situation suddenly got out of control, and obviously, you didn't have a word of justification...... Maybe you should have done it more ruthlessly at the time of the trial, just gouge out your tongue, and now you can't regret it.
“...... Since the meat market is mentioned......"
Cold,
A female voice suddenly sounded in the court, "You can't imagine what kind of characters my family president saved from the meat market." ”
"Shut up! Civilians! There's no room to speak here!"
"It's a mermaid princess!
Belch?
Unafraid of intimidation, Hathaway raised her head and insisted on finishing the last half of the sentence, causing the courtroom to be full of discussions. Times are different, and the kingdom has entered a situation where it has to unite with other powerful subhuman forces - the elves can't afford to offend, the dwarves can't afford to offend, and of course the fishmen can't afford to offend, otherwise the whole kingdom won't want to go to sea. What is a mermaid princess? What is real?
Who?
How was it saved?
What a situation!
The fake Poltz covered his bleeding forehead, pointed at Hathaway and scolded: "Fart! The real mermaid princess is dead! Killed by the Viscount himself! Just today! It's my own ......!"
Several servicemen immediately stepped forward and pushed the fake Polz to the ground and covered his mouth.
This guy has been out of order, and under the influence of the "Honest Domain", he is unabashed. It's just that this level of mouth leakage can still cover up the past, but if he continues, even the son of the marquis can't protect him.
For the Marquis's son, it doesn't matter if it's a real Polz or not, and even a market manager pretended to be a shapeshifter is much easier to control. First control the Shapeshifter as a puppet for a few years, slowly find a suitable replacement, and then quietly kill the Shapeshifter, and push the new right-hand man to re-seat in the market, sitting in Wuxiang Bay, and the money bag will be guaranteed again. The life of Polz and the death of Polz are all secondary, and whether it is worth spending another 5,000 gold coins to resurrect a dog is two words.
The four law enforcement teams stood up in unison and shouted, "Get out of here!"
The soldiers were stunned, stepped back, and slowly let go of Hathaway.
Hathaway straightened her hair and stared at you:
"President, one of the two mermaids we happened to save in the meat market is a real princess. At that time, Tracey tried her best and couldn't continue to shelter, so she could only watch the princess being pushed to the meat market first, and then wait for someone else to buy it and then arrange for someone to rescue her, which was better than rushing to rob people in the black street. But you bought her away, along with the other mermaid who was responsible for covering the princess, so there was a strange unfolding of Tracey secretly meeting with you, and as soon as you met, she told you a lot of things with great trust and trust. She combined little Kyle's entrustment with your good reputation in the ancient city of anti-slavery and anti-Asian racism, and decided to take a gamble, not at all because of a "whim" to entrust a stranger with a heavy task, let alone because you are handsome. She thought about it a lot. ”
"When the camp was besieged by an army of 1,000 men, the merfolk who were temporarily living in the lake had a different attitude. In fact, I have always wondered why they support you and the guild so much, but they are not very active in large-scale assassinations, and they don't even send a single soldier during the uprising. It's not that they're unthankful, they're guarding something more important. When the army entered the camp, I saw all the merfolk running to protect us, even risking their shields, and my attitude changed dramatically. It dawned on me that it wasn't about protecting "us," it was about protecting "one of us." ”
"Didn't you give that puppet golem you bought to the mermaid princess? Maybe you just thought you lent it to her on a whim, but the merfolk thought too much, thinking that you had seen through it a long time ago but didn't say anything. In fact, during the camp defense war, the puppet golem did protect the princess in a critical moment. After the war, I tried to say the key word "broken shell seaweed head", and the princess stood up and admitted her identity even if she didn't confirm whether the "white fin" was dying. She is the key to the mermaid country's years of tragic persecution by the Polz threat, the lifeblood of the poltz and the mermaid country. ”
......
The son of the Marquis slumped down on his chair, breaking one of his legs, and making the sound of heavy armor falling to the ground. In the silence, the sound of the law enforcement team swallowing saliva was as deafening as thunder.
“...... Quick, contact the captain!, ensure the safety of the princess!" After the law enforcement team finished speaking to their companions, they turned to the son of the marquis and said, "I am very sorry that Lord Earl, our previous agreement has been written off, after all, the interests of the kingdom are the greatest. The captain will be here soon. ”
Of the four law enforcement teams, three of them immediately ran out of the courtroom and disappeared, and the other pushed away the soldiers, personally holding Hathaway's bound hands, as if he was afraid of the most important witnesses and running away, as if he was protecting her. No one can tell, but it seems that the atmosphere in the courtroom has changed.
The son of the Marquis came back to his senses,
Seems a little rushed,
His eyes are a little crazy, and he points at you and shouts, "It doesn't matter! But you can plead guilty to the first charge? If you don't admit it, you have to admit it!"
You tell him: If the plaintiff doesn't care, how can the crime be established?
"What do you mean?" the Marquis's son froze.
Hathaway looked up: "Lord Count...... Ask your daughter if she wants to see Clementine Walter in the future. ”
The Marquis's son took a sip and told his cronies to contact Lady Sylvana. After more than ten seconds, he suddenly changed his attitude and said to you: "Forget it! My daughter doesn't remember the villain, after all, it was a mistake and no one intended to be injured, complain, revoke!"
As if worried that the law enforcement captain would rush to disrupt the situation because of the cancellation of an agreement, the marquis's son lost his previous calmness, his muscular face twitched, and he continued to push forward the trial process in a panic: "The fourth crime!—"Endangering public safety"! The guild's adventurer team "Golden Crown" drove the red dragon and burned down the market and the viscount's mansion, causing many injuries or even deaths! Either you confess your guilt, or let the "Golden Crown" accept the guilt, hurry up and choose one! Otherwise, I will choose it for you!"
How are you going to respond?
A, it has nothing to do with me
B, as a last resort
C, yes and how
D, bow your head and be silent
