Chapter 201: Acquittal

"So!" King Brolin consulted with the others on the judgment bench before rising from his seat.

"I'll announce the outcome of the trial now!" King Brolin glanced at everyone in the room.

Everyone immediately held their breath, ready to listen to the final verdict of the Brolin Kings, and at the same time a way to deal with the contradictions between the nobility and the church in the country.

William was also a little nervous at this time, after all, his Manders Code was quite comprehensive, and the various crimes and charges in it were clearly divided, and the court only needed to pronounce sentences according to the code.

And now he has to hand over one-twentieth of the criminals to the monastery in his domain, and the monastery chooses who it is.

This was a heavy blow to the nascent Code of Mendes, which not only consumed William's majesty, but also stifled the legal consciousness of the people.

Therefore, for this trial, William is still quite concerned.

"The result of this verdict is ......"

King Brolin paused, then said loudly, "Baron Ron, not guilty!" ”

With that, King Brolin glanced at everyone around him, and then strode out of the courtroom with several high-ranking vassals and courtiers around him.

And Bishop Sades, of course, was among them, and he really didn't want to stay here any longer and let himself continue to lose face.

"Oaoao!"

"It's exciting!"

"Damn the church, they've finally been defeated by us! Look how arrogant they are this time! ”

After hearing the verdict, the nobles cheered and laughed at each other, venting the unhappiness in their hearts during this time.

William was also sitting in the seat at this time, and he couldn't help but show a smile on his face, narrowing his eyes slightly, and William looked at the nobles in the audience with a smile.

The monks, on the other hand, had very ugly faces, as if they were mourning and examining.

Baron Ron got up from the ground and cheered and hugged the people around him, especially the witnesses who spoke for him.

During this time, he was so depressed that he was constantly worried that he would be executed for killing the monk.

At one point, he had been very silent under the threat of death, but now, he had completely let go of his uneasiness.

"Thank you so much! If it weren't for you, I would have been sentenced to be hanged! ”

Baron Ron ignored the gap in status, and said shoulder to shoulder with several witnesses: "In this case, you can go and be a servant for me first, and if you can, I will canonize you as a knight!" ”

Baron Ron was excited, and even gave such superior conditions, for commoners, becoming a nobleman is a dream thing.

Even if most of them are citizens and don't have to make efforts to survive for food and clothing, becoming a nobleman is still everyone's first pursuit, and even for the sake of the title, they can willingly give up everything.

"Don't say that, Baron Ron, it was Baron William who told us to say this, we just followed Baron William!"

Since Kenos had pledged his allegiance to William, it was impossible for him to accept a baron who was too drunk and had been overwhelmed by a monk.

Let's not say that his father is an earl, and don't say whether Baron Ron can help him regain the territory and title, just talking about the gap between Baron Ron and William, he knows who he should be loyal to.

"Baron William?" Baron Ron was a little curious when he heard this name, but he quickly reacted and asked, "Is that the Champion Knight and the Fox of Denlenburg?" ”

Seeing that Baron Ron reacted so quickly, Kenos smiled and said, "Yes, my lord, our Lord Baron was in the dungeon at that time, let's say what we said today, if you want to thank him, please go and thank him!" ”

Kenos said, pointing to William in his seat.

Looking at William, who was talking to the nobles around him, Baron Ron hurriedly rushed to William's side, ignoring the gazes of the others around him.

He bowed abruptly and said, "Thank you very much for your help, Baron William, if it weren't for your help to me, I might have been burned at the stake!" ”

Hearing this, of course, the nobles were quite curious, they didn't know what William had done, so they all looked at Baron Ron who was standing in front of William with a curious face.

Baron Ron saw that the others did not know why, so he told everyone present the ins and outs of what he had learned from Kenos.

"I see!"

"Baron William is really thoughtful, and he thinks things so thoughtfully!"

"Yes, yes, Baron William is also fighting for our interests by doing this!"

"Hmph, this will see how the church is trying to get that right of judgment, and His Majesty the King will definitely take the opportunity to abolish the privileges of the domestic church!"

After hearing this, the nobles immediately exploded, and this kind of happy news certainly made them eagerly discuss.

However, at this time, Sir Imojo, the son of Viscount Raul, looked at William with disdain on his face, but with some smugness.

"Hypocrisy!"

Scolding in his heart, Sir Imogio left his seat with a look of jealousy, and left the courtroom without looking back.

William had also noticed him at this time, and for some reason, this Sir Imojo had always been inexplicably hostile to him.

He didn't even know what the cause of this hostility was, and he had no idea where he had offended Ser Imojo.

If you want to have a head, you won't look at him anymore, anyway, as long as you don't have any intersection in the future, it will have no effect on yourself, and William won't take it to heart.

"Haha, it's okay, it's just a gesture, the church has been rampant to this point, the nobles of the Tskema Kingdom, I have the responsibility and obligation to protect the interests of each of our nobles!"

William smiled, and then said to the other nobles in a solemn manner.

Now that his sanctimonious image had been fully established, almost all the nobles in the kingdom regarded William as a benevolent and generous nobleman, who was not lacking in command and courage, and was very young, and he was only twenty-two years old by now.

In short, in the eyes of others, he is a perfect nobleman, without the slightest flaw.

Sure enough, many days later, news came from the king that the church's right to judge had changed from one-twentieth to one-fortieth, and that whoever was to be handed over to the church for trial had to be chosen by the local nobles before it could take effect.

After getting the news, the nobles of the entire kingdom were boiling, and William was also relatively happy.

After all, when he had not developed into an invincible world, he definitely did not intend to tear his face with the church, and it was very correct to maintain a good relationship with them.

Although he has caused some trouble to the church, it is not a big trouble, so I believe that in the future, he will make the church think that he is a religious person.
