With a dozen prisoners with them, the soldiers were slowed down, and it took a month and a half to reach the vicinity of the royal capital.

At this time, the temperature is close to autumn, although it is not cold, but it is definitely not warm, at least it is definitely not the warm feeling of spring and summer.

The more he went to the vicinity of Denlenburg, the more flustered his letter became, and the autumn breeze at this time was in a similar mood to him, very gloomy.

The wheat or beans that had begun to turn yellow all around him began to drift away with the autumn wind, and Cajin's body couldn't help but shiver, and he began to be a little afraid.

Soon, the soldiers escorted Kajin into the royal capital of Denlenburg.

As he walked through the crowd, he heard the crowd talking.

"Did you hear that? There is a tax gate on our border that extorts merchants from passing by! ”

"What's that? Haven't these nobles always been like this? "This is a pessimistic resident, and he still has some distrust of William's impartial law enforcement.

But another seemed to admire William, and he said, "How can our majesty be like those nobles, and he is very impartial in his execution!" Otherwise, do you think Your Majesty will tell the whole kingdom about this? ”

"You know, the one who committed the crime is his own cousin! I think Your Majesty is merciful and just! May Your Majesty's reign be long and peaceful! ”

"Really?" The resident who expressed disbelief before was also a little convinced, and he said half-convinced: "Let's take a look, anyway, I don't think Your Majesty will do anything to his cousin!" ”

Listening to the conversation between the two, Cajin's body suddenly chilled, this matter had been publicized to the entire kingdom by his own cousin.

He knew very well what that meant, and as the son of an earl, he knew what it meant, even if he didn't usually learn anything.

He shouted loudly in his heart, "Is he really going to deal with me seriously? What am I going to do! ”

The royal infantry, dressed in heavy armor, led their horses down the wide streets, and all the inhabitants around them made way for them.

In addition to some fear, there is also a heartfelt respect for the royal infantry, who have an excellent reputation among the people, and a very good attitude towards the common people, and many people like them.

Unimpeded, they soon entered the inner city and entered the palace.

The captain also explained the matter to the guards, and William, after learning that his unruly cousin had been escorted over, immediately asked people to bring him over.

The officer took Calline, led by his attendants, to the door of William's study.

When they knocked on the door, and the two of them walked in, Calline's heart was so apprehensive that he didn't know what to do with William.

William, on the other hand, looked at the cousin in front of him expressionlessly.

The team officer stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I have already brought the person you wanted, if it is okay, I will retire first!" ”

William nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work, go down and receive the reward, you have fifteen silver coins, and each of your men has ten silver coins!" ”

The team officer immediately saluted excitedly, and then walked out of the room.

William looked at Cajun in front of him and said expressionlessly, "Do you have anything to say?" ”

Kajin couldn't help but feel a little frightened when he looked at William's expression, and he said tremblingly, "I...... Elder Brother ...... I...... I was wrong! ”

As he spoke, Kajien smiled awkwardly.

William was angry when he saw him, slammed the table, and said loudly, "Be serious!" ”

"What do you think of committing such a crime! Didn't I say that earlier! If anyone commits a traitor, even my relatives will not tolerate it! ”

Being yelled at by William like this, Kajin suddenly felt a burst of fear, and he trembled and begged William for mercy: "Brother! Brother! "Spare me this time! I won't dare next time! ”

"Next time? You still want to have a next time! William roared loudly.

"I didn't ...... Without! You...... Leave me alone! Kagien knelt on the ground with snot and tears at William begging for mercy, and even wanted to save William's thighs.

William avoided him with a look of disgust, then turned around and said, "Don't say it, I told you these words for the sake of my uncle's face, you ...... Get ready! ”

William whispered these words, he didn't want to treat his relatives like this, but there was no way, in order to establish the legal justice of the kingdom, he had to do it.

When Cajen heard this, he was immediately frightened, and it seemed that William's posture was going to kill him.

"Please, brother! Please! Just spare me once! Kajen pleaded.

"Get out!" William let out a low snort, but Canonon still begged for mercy.

"Guards!" William shouted outside the door, and two heavily armed guards pushed open the door and walked in, saying, "What are your orders?" Your Majesty? ”

"Pull him out for me!" William pointed to Kanon, who was kneeling on the ground and weeping bitterly.

The two soldiers looked at him, then walked in and set him up, pulling him out of William's study amid his cries.

When he was gone, William returned to his chair, clutching his forehead and sighing.

Two days later, the court of the kingdom was officially opened, with William and Wella, Archbishop Baringsin, the regional bishop of the Kingdom of Lorik, and William's courtiers and vassals in the royal capital, Norwen and Urimu.

On the jury, there are high-ranking tax officials from all over the country, the heads of major tax cards, mayors and tax officials of commercial cities, as well as powerful local merchants in the Kingdom of Lorik, as well as merchants who are qualified to participate from outside, as well as some blackmailed merchants, squires from all over the country, and some commoners.

They will witness the trial, the first egregious case of corruption in the Kingdom of Lorik since its founding.

Kenos sat on the bench, and Caronoen was escorted to the courtroom by two royal foot soldiers.

As soon as he came up, the people on the jury table immediately began to talk.

"This is His Majesty's cousin! I don't know what kind of punishment he will receive today! ”

"Will it be a death sentence?" One said, "According to the laws of the Kingdom of Lorik, he should be sentenced to death!" ”

Another said, "I don't think so!" After all, it was his cousin, the son of his own uncle, and he shouldn't have been put to death! ”

"If we don't put to death, will our law soon become a joke?" This is the eldest son of a young nobleman, his father was a viscount under William, and he was also a very powerful vassal.

The eldest son of William's vassal family was usually sent to the royal capital William for training, which was a common system in the Holy Religion.

He was not very old now, only fourteen years old, so he did not understand what was wrong with the nobles, and only felt that justice should be done and evil should be punished.
