"Plaintiff, can you guarantee that your next words are true?"

"Yes, I promise. Ji Yuan raised his right fist www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" pavilion, "I, Ji Yuan swears here, what I say below is all true, there is no half-sentence false, if there is a violation, with the red of the maple leaf as evidence, I will not die well, and I will sink into the abyss forever." ”

"Hmm." The chief deacon nodded, "Please tell me more about what happened." ”

"Yes." Ji Yuan nodded, "About two hours ago..."

After listening to Ji Yuan's narration, there was an uproar in the hall, according to Ji Yuan, this attack was planned by Stanley a long time ago, and he followed the two Maple Leaf Knights out of the city to launch an attack, such a heart-wrenching crime Lorendi has not happened for a long time.

"Defendant, what do you have to say?"

"Lord Deacon, Chief Judge, as Second Lieutenant Ji said before, I was ordered by the Great Elder of the family to take Hathaway home, but Second Lieutenant Ji insisted on stopping it, and I ordered the attack as a last resort, and I also ordered my subordinates not to harm Second Lieutenant Ji. As early as more than a thousand years ago, the founding ancestor of the empire, Lionheart, assured all the nobles of the empire in Atrium City that for the internal affairs of the nobles, the clan law has the first priority, except for the heinous crimes such as treason and rebellion, everything is subject to the clan law. Stanley spoke with great certainty.

"Could it be that Lorendi wants to break the promise written into the Empire's constitution?" Stanley looked around and said meaningfully, "Don't forget, we are not only Lorendi, but also Imperial!" Beneath our feet is the territory of the Empire! ”

Silence, a rare silence, after Stanley said this, the hall fell into an eerie silence, and everyone either stared at Stanley's back or silhouette with a complex light in their eyes, or bowed their heads in silence.

What's going on? Ji Yuan subconsciously looked at the Faceless One, hoping to get an answer, but the Faceless One was also silent, as if Stanley had said something amazing.

Stanley appeared to be very calm on the surface, but after saying this, everyone's strange reaction made him very uneasy. The meaning of what he said was that the Duchy of Lorendi had some unpleasantness with the Empire when it was founded, but at that time, the Duchy of Lorendi was powerful, and the Empire had to recognize the existence of the Duchy of Lorendi, and the Medici family, who ruled Lorendi, also said on the surface that the Empire was orthodox, and Lorendi was a subject of the Empire.

After so many years, the distance between the Duchy of Lorendi and the empire seems to be getting farther and farther away, and there is a gradual rise of argument among many of the local nobles of Lorendi, some people believe that the empire is declining, and Lorendi is becoming more and more powerful, and Lorendi should break away from the empire and become an independent kingdom. But this argument has not been officially recognized, and the history of many years ago has been turned out to fry cold rice, and the question of whether Lorendi should remain in the empire has gradually become a taboo topic, peace or war? The Lorendi, who had been comfortable for hundreds of years, subconsciously wanted to avoid this problem, but Stanley poked it out in public.

Seeing that the atmosphere was at an impasse, the chief deacon took a step forward and said loudly: "The witness is on the field" Everyone present seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and turned their heads to look at the crowd of people who were slowly going to the court, as if they had forgotten Stanley's previous shocking words, the civic hall seemed to come alive again, and everyone began to discuss the relationship between the clan law and the constitution, and the chief deacon and many court guards also selectively forgot the previous order not to make loud noises.

"Who's in the audience?"

Despite being watched down by several court guards, this group of people still stood tall and loose, and the discipline was as strict as an army. Hearing the deacon's question, one of them took a step forward and said in a deep voice: "Deacon, we are all subordinate members of the Gatua family."

"Before, Young Master Stanley took the token of the Great Elder and ordered us to go and arrest Hathaway who violated the ban of the Council of Elders in the clan, in order to avoid causing chaos, so we followed the two Maple Leaf Knights out of the city before choosing to make a move, but Hathaway Knight insisted on refusing to go with us, and we were forced to choose to make a move, and we didn't have the slightest idea of attacking the two Maple Leaf Knights." The person who spoke had a calm expression, and quietly washed away the charges.

"Hathaway, what do you have to say?"

"Lord Deacon, crown the Faceless." Hathaway saluted, "I don't think I violated the so-called family ban on this matter, according to the agreement of the year, I must indeed return to the clan and not go out at will, but my chief Ji Yuan." Hathaway glanced at Ji Yuan and continued: "He brought a sufficient amount of dragon's blood grass, the Gatua family had issued a bounty order before, and Second Lieutenant Ji completed the bounty order and asked the Gatua family to lift my ban in this way, so I am not a so-called clan fugitive, and Stanley's reason for attacking us is not valid." ”

"The ban is a resolution of the Council of Elders, and the lifting can only be lifted by the Council of Elders." Stanley shouted, "Quentin, he's not a patriarch or an elder, and he doesn't have the right to lift your ban!" ”

"Really?" Hathaway gave him a cold look, "Then what do you think the Elders will do if someone completes the bounty order?" ”

"This..."Stanley was speechless for a while, although his grandfather was the great elder in the Council of Elders, but he couldn't cover the sky with one hand, the dragon's blood grass was used to renew the life of the old patriarch Quentin, how could the Council of Elders care about a little Hathaway in front of an epic powerhouse?

"Besides, I doubt that the so-called Great Elder Order in your mouth was done by you alone?" Hathaway knew that the Grand Elder would definitely not be willing to let her return to the Knights in this way, but in this kind of wooden situation, it was impossible for the Grand Elder to choose such a simple and crude method, which was also the reason why Quentin asked them to leave quickly.

Stanley's face turned pale, and he quibbled, "Even if the Council of Elders will lift your ban, you can't leave until the Council of Elders has made a decision." ”

As Hathaway guessed, the whole thing was Stanley's work alone. As soon as he got home, he heard a report from his subordinates that Hathaway had left the manor, and he was still following a young man, and it was not easy to wait for Hathaway to come back, Stanley was looking forward to completing the marriage contract with Hathaway, so that he could kiss Fang Ze, and the great elder's plan to seek the position of patriarch was about to be realized, and Hathaway's departure was in vain, how could this be!

I thought that with the strength of the Folding Blade Mercenary Group, it would be just a matter of being able to deal with two people whose strength was no more than the Great Swordsman, but I never expected that the small character in his eyes, Ji Yuan, would break through everyone's defenses and catch him, and Stanley could expect that the elders in the clan would punish himself for acting privately in the name of the family, this matter is very likely to cause the Maple Leaf Knights to have a bad feeling towards the Gatua family, even if he is the only grandson of the Great Elder, he can't bear such serious consequences.

"Please answer the question of whether you are really acting on the orders of the family." The Faceless One, who had been quietly watching the development of events, suddenly spoke.

"I... This..."Stanley Khan rained down, and without the order of the family, this matter was completely his personal behavior, and he could not carry out the name of the clan law at all. Thinking of this, Stanley's heart fluttered, and he closed his eyes and roared, "That's right, I did this alone, and it has nothing to do with the Great Elder. But I'm a man, can I watch my fiancée go with another man! Since he can't move out of the family's name, Stanley can only find a way to describe himself as a victim, and characterize this incident as a jealousy between young people, from a serious crime such as a malicious attack on the Maple Leaf Knight to an impulsive jealousy among young people, and the court cannot convict a felony, and he also has an advantage in public opinion, but he may lose face.

Stanley would never have exposed himself to a scandal unless he had to, but in order to survive, he had to do this.

"Oh?" Some people even sketched in their minds that two maple leaf knights who loved each other chose to elope despite the opposition of their families, and the fiancé with green light on his head was dizzy, eager to crush his rival to pieces, and a bloody drama with broken bones and ashes, presumably the bards in the streets and alleys had to have a tragic love story between commoners and nobles.
