"Bang! Trial! With a bang, the Supreme Court of the Reich heard in earnest.

In fact, there is no need to be tried at all, everyone understands what Weng Xiaoyi and the other two descendants of the Weng family are guilty of, as for the two Great Song Sea Merchants, they have been regarded as dead by everyone. If they weren't required to testify in court, they would have been hanged on the pier long ago. What most people are still unsure about is whether the imperial law will treat everyone equally, whether it will find various excuses to delay, whether it will be interfered with by the Weng family, and whether Weng Xiaoyi will be hanged in the end.

Since the incident was reported by various newspapers, everyone's attention has been on this, especially ordinary people. Just look at the relationship between the two old ladies of the Weng family and the royal family and the major families, and then look at the number of people in the parliament and government of these families, everyone will draw a big question mark in their hearts.

The most important thing is that it has been more than eight years since the establishment of the country, and it is the first time that such a big case has been involved, and no one knows whether the set of laws made by Emperor Hong will work or not. According to their life experience, this kind of thing is often very variable, and the saying that the prince is guilty of the same crime among the common people is a good wish most of the time, and will not become a common practice.

"The court is now adjourned, and His Majesty the Emperor and His Excellency the Prime Minister are invited to come to the conference room to discuss the final verdict." The trial of the case went as smoothly as expected, and both Weng Xiaoyi and Da Song Haishang confessed to what they had done. If you want to admit it, you can't do it, the evidence is too complete, and there are more than 50 illegal immigrants who have been brought to court to testify, and they have all spent a lot of money to become official residents of Jinhe Country under pseudonyms through the channels of two maritime merchants and Weng Xiaoyi. And that's just part of the story, and there are many more who will come and testify if needed.

"Minister Wen, do you think there will be any changes, why do I always feel uncomfortable in my heart." Kong Pei was more nervous than Weng's family, this matter had been bothering him for months, and today could be regarded as a result, and he didn't want any accidents to happen.

"It shouldn't be, as long as the Weng family doesn't make trouble, the other families won't be strong. Do you see that the two old ladies of the Weng family look like they are going to make trouble? Your Majesty is still powerful, and I don't know what I said to the Weng family, Weng Mingyue committed suicide by taking poison that night, do you believe that she committed suicide? Wen Nan was in a very good mood, he firmly believed that this set of laws worked, and this set of rules was not only the credit of Emperor Hong, but he was also a builder himself, so he still had a little pride.

"Shh......h Don't talk nonsense, leave some morality, it's an old man who looks down and doesn't look up. The two of them didn't care about anything when they left it, but it was pitiful enough to leave four children, the eldest of whom had not yet graduated. Kong Pei listened to Wen Nan's analysis, and his heart settled down a little, and then he began to sympathize with people and the sky again, and his compassion overflowed.

"You don't know yet, our majesty is more kind than you. Sai Fei told me that Weng Mingyue's two sons and daughters are already about to become his younger brothers and sisters, and it is estimated that this is also a means for His Majesty to persuade the Weng family. He is not a person who likes children very much, and he accepted America as his godson more for the sake of the salamander, this time he accepted four godsons and goddaughters at once, and their family will be lively in the future. Wen Nan laughed as he spoke, a little gloating. All the children in the emperor's family are not worry-free, and the already four are enough for a headache, and if there are four more, I really don't know if Emperor Hong still has the time to go to sea and run around.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid that the four children won't be able to live in the future, and their parents have become imperial sinners, how can they raise their heads when they get to school? With the royal protection, at least you won't be the target of public criticism, and don't forget, until now, Your Majesty is still the president of the Imperial University and the Imperial Military Academy. There he has a lot more power than being an emperor, and if anyone annoys him, there will be absolutely no good fruit to eat. Kong Pei better understands Hong Tao's original intention of doing this, and also understands Hong Tao's majesty in school.

"Hey, why did Your Majesty come out?" After chatting for a few words, Emperor Hong's figure came in from the side door again, walked to the speaker and whispered a few words, and then put the confused speaker into the side door, but he himself sat back in his original position with a calm face, and continued to chat with the two old ladies of the Weng family.

"Your Majesty is probably giving up the right to vote to the speaker, and this is a method that will only be used in special circumstances. Minister Wen, I don't think it will be good today, you look back, not only His Majesty didn't reassure me, but the little guys in the back didn't seem to have come to listen to the verdict. Kong Pei's heart that he had just put down was raised again, Hong Tao's approach itself was a bit unconventional, and when he looked back, he was even more uneasy.

"These children still don't give up, don't let go of any opportunity, and can be regarded as working with the government. Don't worry, the Weng family doesn't squeak, what other waves can they make, Your Majesty is right, let them suffer a few more losses before they are qualified to pick up the double-edged sword of power. Wen Nan also looked back, and it was easy to see that the middle-level cadres who were most active in the government were getting together, muttering something with a group of young officials and officers, but he was not as nervous as Kong Pei.

"Let's look at the verdict, the three of the Rong family walk so slowly, and they are not seventy or eighty!" At this time, the side door opened again, and the three justices walked out together with Bo Jiao and the speaker.

"Bang! The court is in session, please be quiet! ”

"In accordance with the rights granted to me by the Imperial Constitution, and after deliberation by the collegial panel, on behalf of the Supreme Court of the Empire, I hereby rule as follows......" The verdict was read out by the eldest of the Rong family, who inherited Rong Weng's loud voice, and he didn't need to use any special force, and his voice echoed throughout the hall.

"Long live the Empire! Long live the Emperor! Before the verdict was read, some young people in the back row stood up, waving their fists and shouting slogans. Then more and more people joined them, and many people ran to the door, and in addition to newspaper reporters, there were also many ordinary people and military officers, and these people went outside the court to report the verdict.

Although many people firmly believe that the laws of the empire are fair in advance, but the belief and the facts are still two different things, before the verdict is read, these people are also up and down in their hearts, for fear that the verdict will make them hold on to the collapse of their minds for many years, how to educate their children in the future? Do you tell them that the imperial law is not a doctor, or do you tell them that this time is a special case, and it will not happen in the future?

Now, whether they believe in the laws of the empire in advance or not, the vast majority of people are relieved, and at the same time, their trust in the imperial government, their reliance on the laws of the empire, and their respect for the emperor are strengthened. This is not so much a judgment as an endorsement of the future of the entire empire. After this trial, the success of the imperial law is a little more sufficient, and the confidence of the imperial law enforcers is even more sufficient, and the power of example is infinite, although it cannot be seen or touched, but it is indeed very effective, sometimes it can inspire an entire generation, and of course, if it is a bad example, it can also destroy a generation.

"Please be quiet, today there is another case of abuse of power by a government official and violation of the Imperial Constitution that needs to be tried, and the defendants are the Director of the Internal Affairs Bureau of the Imperial Supervision Department and the Chief of the Imperial Police!" The cries of Weng Xiaoyi's uncle and nephew have not completely disappeared, and the voice of the chief judge sounded again, he was supposed to go to the dock to carry out the death penalty immediately, but he didn't expect that there was still a case to be heard, and the defendant was the main witness just now.

"Defendant, do you have any objections to what the court has stated? Were imperial officials investigated without approval, and were these government documents forged? "Compared with the sonorous and powerful judge who tried Weng Xiaoyi's case just now, the three Rong brothers looked a little listless, and Rong Boss's voice was low, so that many people sitting in the back row didn't hear what question he was asking, and they had to ask each other.

"There is no objection, my confession materials are all with you, and they are all written by me personally, and there is no other impact at all." Ciqi didn't even have a defense lawyer, and the judges didn't want to talk much, as if everyone was looking forward to the end of the case as soon as possible, and every second of delay was tormenting.

"It's not fair! It's not fair! Why do those who catch the bad guys become sinners? Who would dare to serve the empire if it goes on like this! There is a problem here, the court is not fair, you have been influenced by certain people, this is retaliation! Unfortunately, it backfired, and the more Ciqi and the judges rushed to conclude the case, the more unhappy some people were.

Just now, when the court was counting the charges against Ciqi, the young officials, military officers, and many ordinary people sitting in the back row were a little unable to sit still, and now that Ciqi himself has pleaded guilty, if he doesn't say anything again, after the justice pronounces the verdict, no one can change it. At that moment, four or five officers stood up, ignoring the order of the courtroom, and questioned loudly, and then more people stood up, and in an instant the courtroom became a parliament.

"Silence! Quiet! Quiet! "Boss Rong is about to break the small gavel, but he still hasn't quieted down in the courtroom. Since the three of them took office, they have not handled such a case, and at most, they organize a circuit court every year to go around overseas territories on a boat, which has more symbolic meaning. There are local local courts, and they just go through the motions, and in the face of such a scene, the three of them are not in a rut.

"Boom! …… Yes! Yikes! hiss...... "Seeing that some young officers were about to rush up and quarrel with the justice, suddenly a loud bang sounded on the left side of the front row, and at the same time a puff of white smoke rose. The chaos in the courtroom changed to a new pattern immediately after this loud noise, and most people knew that it was gunshots and involuntarily went to find cover. Everyone can respond so quickly, thanks to the national military service system, as long as they have participated in military training, they have this kind of reaction.
