Chapter 236 Circuit Court

ps: At the beginning of the month, ask for tickets, ask for subscriptions

For the expressions of such surprise on several people, Edward was not shocked in his heart, and his face was calm and indifferent.

In the Middle Ages, as the only object of communication with God, this created a different kind of aura for it.

And more importantly, its cost.

Hundreds of parchments were required to build each Bible, and the infallible transcription laid the foundation for its invaluable value.

In wealthy aristocratic families, they will buy a Bible to enlighten their families.

More importantly, the gift of a beautiful Bible to the church and the clergy is also a good way to communicate with each other, and it is above board and impeccable.

"Thisβ€”" Faris slowly stretched out his hands to the fine Bible in front of him, and when he was less than an inch away, he stopped, and with a hint of inquiry in his gaze, he turned to the young king.

Seeing this, Edward nodded lightly with a faint smile.

Soon, Farris picked up the tray of fine Bibles and his eyes approached.

On the cover, the Virgin Mary, with beautiful eyes on the young Son Jesus playing with butterflies, her eyes are full of love and tenderness, and the sunset that has come to an end emits a golden light, shining on the face of the Virgin, setting off the infinite maternal love.

Soon, the five of them gently put down the Bible in their hands, as if it were a rare treasure, and their eyes were full of reluctance.

"Alright, this is your reward, go down!" Edward waved his hand and said to the five people with a nostalgic face.

The five men saluted in thanksgiving, and walked away with their Bibles in their hands.

"Emma, inform Sir Adonis of the Circuit Court that I will receive him at three o'clock in the afternoon!"

After the others left, Edward instructed Emma, the girl's secretary, who was also guarding the door.

After so many days of observation by Emma, although His Majesty's tone today is calm, there is a special meaning in the peace.

No matter how much it was, Emma left the room with two pairs of long, thin legs in small steps, and told the other little secretaries to inform.

As a personal secretary, Emma is naturally the secretary general, and this little thing can't bother her.

Edward thought about it alone, and suddenly, he stood up violently, it was still important to eat.

Sitting in his chair, Edward slowly enjoyed the caviar in front of him, and from time to time he dipped it in greens before eating, or eating a bite of cooked veal, and his mood became more and more relaxed.

At this time, contrary to Edward's mood, the chief judge of the circuit court, Angus . Sir Adonis, however, was in such a bad mood at this time.

The courts of Europe are basically airtight walls, and as long as there is money, there is no news that cannot be obtained.

And so it was with the court of England.

After Edward's accession to the throne, severe punishment was imposed, but it could not completely change this atmosphere.

After all, like other courts, most of the court positions in England are held by noble ladies, and it is difficult not to divulge them.

Therefore, President Angus, before he was summoned, had learned that the King had received the Privy Council Minister in the morning, and he had summoned him immediately.

In this case, nine times out of ten, it's bad news.

Led by the maid, Angus walked step by step, but his mind kept churning, thinking about how to answer.

Angus had little impression of the young king, and for these two years he was received once a year to report on his work, and the king sometimes raised doubts about some interests.

Others, which had nothing to do with him, could not impress the king in front of him.

The Circuit Court was actually a measure taken by England to learn from the Kingdom of the Franks.

Britain divides the country into six judicial districts, and has set up six teams of three judges, who are required to go to each judicial district each year to conduct trials, which is also the origin of the word "circuit".

There are two types of tours: the king's personal tour and the judge's representative tour.

The circuit courts could hear not only civil lawsuits, but also criminal cases, and even the king's behalf of local officials and customs.

Of course, Angus, as the president of the court, did not need to make rounds around the country, but needed to summarize all the cases and records of the circuit court and report back to the king.

That is, he did not have much power and acted as a bridge between the judge and the king.

However, he also carried with him the king's commission to monitor and examine the circuit judges in various places.

After a while, Angus was taken to the king's study, even though the curtains were drawn, but the light was noticeably dim, and the atmosphere in the room was low and oppressive.

"Your Majesty!" Angus saw the thin king in an instant, immediately bowed his head, bent down, and said respectfully.

"Don't be nervous, Sir Adonis, I'm just asking you a question!"

Edward saw Angus, who was so restrained, that his face was calm, and he said in a friendly tone.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Angus's shoulders twitched, then he relaxed again, and squeezed out a smile to meet the king's answer.

"Alright, let's talk about it!" When Edward saw this, he stopped being verbose and asked questions directly.

"Tell me about any important cases that the Circuit Court heard last year, or what major discoveries were made!"

"Let's just report a month in advance! It won't bother you, will it? ”

Edward sat down in a chair with a blanket and said with his usual expression.

"It's my pleasure! Your Majesty! Angus said with a serious face, his right hand on his chest, and bent over.

Subsequently, Angus selected a few characteristic and interesting cases to illustrate.

His eloquence was very good, and he spoke about the original interesting case as if he had experienced it himself, attracting attention, and even frequent blood, just like listening to a book, which made Edward recall the show on TV in his previous life.

talked for nearly half an hour, even if it was some cases, and did not talk about what Edward cared about, but he did not organize it, this kind of instant sense of watching the show is rare.

"All right, my sir!" Edward took a breath, shook his head, and stopped.

"Isn't it true that none of the local officials are wrong?"

As he spoke, Edward's tone was solemn, even gloomy, and when Angus heard this, a chill rushed to his brain, and the whole person was a little bad.

"Your Majesty, I'm just summarizing this matter! I don't know the specifics! ”

Although Angus was a little flustered in his heart, he looked innocent without knowing on the surface, and he shirked it without hesitation.

That's right, after all, he is not the specific person in charge, and he has been staying in London, so it is understandable that he was blinded.
