Chapter 226: What does it have to do with me?
The third more
Three years ago he stood in court for the crime of colluding with the revolutionary party, and three years later he stood in the Imperial Court as a plaintiff, fighting to defend his honor.
Leduana, who was just sitting in the judge's seat, glanced at Garion, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He didn't even expect this civil lawsuit to alarm Napoleon III's sister, Princess Mathilde.
At that time, the princess specially met Le Duanna in the mansion, and before he could say a word of greeting, she directly clarified the intention.
At that time, Leduanna's head was hot, and he even patted his chest and assured her that he would definitely consider this matter as appropriate, and make an appropriate judgment while maintaining the dignity of the imperial law.
"Hey, what kind of character is this Garion, it has alarmed the Bonaparte family."
His gaze swept over Garion to the jury. However, the corner of his eye twitched at the sight of a familiar face, and Merimé was sitting not far away, smiling and waving to him.
"Oh hell, is even His Excellency Mérimée here?"
Leduanna scratched his head, now he was very entangled, not only Princess Mathilde was pressuring him, but even Mérimée was pressuring him, telling him that no matter what the situation in the court, Gallian must be ruled in favor of him, and in exchange for the next judge, he would fully support him.
Le Duonne even had the illusion that the entire Bonaparte government was standing behind him in this sentencing and pressuring him to give Gallion the victory.
Blois stood in the defendant's seat, noticing the affectionate gaze between Mérimée and Leduanne, and with a smug smile, he turned his gaze to Garion, the corners of his mouth full of triumphant triumph.
"Your Excellency Mérimée has already communicated with the judge, and I will not miss it in the slightest under any circumstances. This trial has unilaterally declared my victory, and there is no need to worry about my friends, it is Jia An, not me, who is ruined. ”
Hussman was also sitting in the auditorium, and he had a deep fear that this seemed to be some kind of long-planned conspiracy. Especially with a malicious expression, as if there is an even more unspeakable secret behind it. However, his friend, who has been cornered, has decided to take a desperate gamble, and he puts all his hopes on Mérimée.
He couldn't persuade him, and could only witness this verdict go down.
What followed was a duel in court, and Gambida took out the article written by Blois before, and sorted out the pages involved in defamation in it, word by word, as evidence in court, and handed it to the judge.
In fact, Gan Bida didn't have much interest in this lawsuit, a trial that went through the form, and didn't even require him to rack his brains to think about how to make Garion win. The tribunal has decided everything.
Sorry, but when you have a huge social connection, everything can be done as you want.
Fortunately, Garion was on the side of sympathy for the revolution, and if he was a member of the royalist party, he would have caused a catastrophe to the republicans.
Leduanna took the analysis of the report, glanced at it casually, and nodded. Even Her Majesty the Princess has personally given the order, and the so-called trial is just a formality. No matter how ridiculous the evidence may seem, the ultimate winner will be the plaintiff.
He even looked at Blois who was still smug in the dock with some pity, this idiot, did he understand the situation, now except for Napoleon III who could save his life, no one has a chance to come.
Then it was Blois's defense lawyer who began to refute the evidence presented by Gampida.
"What you said can't be considered evidence at all, and it can only be said that it is your own ridiculous conjecture, is it true that in reality, if someone calls you a bastard, you will take him to court? There is no false insult to Garion's reputation in this report, which does not constitute a conviction for defamation. ”
The lawyer also looked like he was winning, and he retorted one by one, "So Your Excellency Garion's so-called evidence in court cannot be regarded as evidence at all. ”
However, the judge only glanced at him, nodded slightly, and said nothing.
Blois's defense lawyer was stunned, he pushed his gold-rimmed glasses, and continued, "Your Excellency, please allow me to continue to speak......
However, Leduanna just watched with a blank face as he finished his impassioned statement, and then nodded.
"Got it."
Blois looked at the judge's expression and felt that something was not right, and he looked at Mérimée for help, but Mérimée only looked at himself with a sneer.
"What the hell is going on?"
If it weren't for the courtroom, Blois would have even wanted to rush to the jury bench and grab Mérimée by the collar to question him. However, now he could only suppress the anger in his heart and wait patiently for this verdict. However, the next plot development is more and more in the opposite direction.
The judge seemed to have a verdict in mind, and he seemed absent-minded about the arguments and evidence presented by both sides, and when the defense lawyer finished the last sentence, he gave the order for the verdict.
"The plaintiff won the case, and the defendant was required to pay 4,000 francs for moral damages."
"The jury had no objection."
Like a thunderbolt falling on his ears, half an hour ago he still had a look of victory in his hands, and at this moment his mood seemed to have fallen into the abyss, and he couldn't believe the result.
He couldn't believe that the jury actually had no objection?
His Excellency Mérimée had sworn that he would keep himself!
Not only was Blois suspicious, but so was Garion, and it was strange that the judge had ruled in favor of Princess Mathilde at the behest of Princess Mathilde, but the jury had not dissented at all.
Mérimée suddenly had good intentions in his heart?
Garian didn't believe it when he was killed.
Blois was the only one in the room who could not accept the verdict. All that was in his mind was the assurances that Mérimée had sworn to him before. Hussman, who was sitting in the auditorium, didn't figure out what was going on for a while.
"No, no!"
At this time, Blois suffered a major blow and had a complete mental breakdown.
He turned his head and frantically rushed to the jury behind him, trying to jump over the fence and rush in to reason with Mérimée. Just as he was about to make a move, the judicial police grabbed him by the shoulder, knocked the whole person to the ground, and pressed the whole person tightly with his hands.
"Your Excellency Mérimée, this is not the same as promised!"
Blois was still struggling desperately, shouting loudly, "That's not what you said in the first place! ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the auditorium focused on Blois.
"Shut up."
Mérimée's face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly stopped Blois's shouting and scolded sharply, "What does your own crime have to do with me!" ”
