Section 84: Legal System

Of course, Li Ji couldn't believe Arode's words, a blonde and blue-eyed Taixi man suddenly said to him that he was also a Tang Dynasty, which was incredible, but Arode's next action surprised Li Ji, because Arode squatted down on the ground and wrote a word on the ground with his fingers, and that word was the Tang character, the Tang of the Tang Dynasty.

"Have you really been to Datang, no, you are too young, how is it possible?" Li Ji seemed to have fallen into an evil spirit, he looked at the Chinese characters on the ground dumbfounded, maybe the language can be learned, but the Chinese characters can only be seen from a few gentlemen who still know how to read and write among this group of people who are far away from home, and Li Ji can read because he inherited his father's status as a school captain.

"Brother." Taking advantage of Li Ji's trance, Lena got rid of Li Ji's arm and rushed into Arrod's arms.

"You don't have to hide, this is my territory, I am the lord here, follow me back to the castle and I will explain it to you slowly." Arold patted his sister's back with his hand to make sure that his sister was not hurt in any way, and he said to Li Ji.

Ted and the others were surprised, it was originally an operation to chase criminals, but after some negotiations between Arold and the other party, it was resolved invisibly, and the group of orientals who came out of the abandoned farm were invited to the castle by Arold like guests, but no one dared to question Arold, because he was the owner of this land.

"I hear the old people often say that the city of Datang is several times larger than this." While passing through Arold's Mecklenburg gatehouse, Li Ji's companion Pei Hua glanced at it and said.

"Don't talk nonsense." Li Ji warned his companions not to talk nonsense, although those Tessie people did not understand their language, but Arold could understand it, Li Ji is now very curious why Arold knows so many things about the Tang Dynasty, and seems to know the things after the Tang Dynasty.

"Come, prepare a banquet for us, I will feast these guests from afar." Arold entered the antechamber of the castle and instructed the servants, and at this time he found his courtiers waiting anxiously in the antechamber, and even Princess Josie was sitting beside her throne with little William in her arms.

"Arrode, is Lena alright?" Princess Josie stood up and said anxiously to Arrod.

"It's okay, isn't this here?" Arold pointed to Lena behind her, and Princess Josie was relieved to see that Lena was okay, but when she passed Lena, she was surprised to see the group of Orientals looking around.

The banquet began under Arrod's arrangement, and Arrod, who was seated on the lord's throne, looked as usual, but the group of Orientals sitting opposite the courtiers on the lower left made the atmosphere a little strange, and everyone knew that these people had hijacked Arrod's carriage, but now they were Arrod's guests.

"The food is pretty good." Pei Hua chewed on the roast venison, their original identity was the descendants of the Great Food POWs, they had not eaten anything good since they were young, and now this humble Tessie food was also a delicacy in their eyes.

"Lord Duke, there's something I don't understand." Just as the banquet was in progress, Dylan. Matt stood up and walked to the center of the banquet, bowed to Arjod, and said.

"What's the matter?" Arold held the wine glass, he already felt the atmosphere in the banquet, except for Li Ji, who knew the Frankish language, the other people did not understand the language here, so there was nothing to communicate with his courtiers, and the unique appearance of the Oriental people also made the nobles talk a lot.

"Your Excellency the Duke has appointed me as the Chancellor of Mecklenburg, so it should be my duty to try criminals throughout the Duchy, right?" Dylan. Matt said to Arrod, and as soon as his words fell into the hall, there was a buzz in the hall, and the nobles knew that Arold was not doing it properly, but no one dared to challenge the Duke's authority, now Dylan. Matt actually said it boldly, and this straightforward approach still made everyone admire.

"Who are you going to judge, there are no such criminals here." Arold frowned, he told his subordinates in public that this group of Orientals was his friends, which was equivalent to taking this group of Orientals under his protection, now Dylan. Matt's proposal to try Li Ji and others in front of the courtiers is tantamount to slapping himself in the face.

"Of course, whether it's hijacking a wagon carrying taxes, or killing or wounding a tax collector, or even kidnapping your sister, the Duke, every one of them is a crime worthy of hanging." Dylan. Matt looked short and ugly because of the deformity of his back, but he was impassioned in the hall at this time, and his righteousness made him taller than any of the nobles here.

"But I have pardoned their crimes, and as the Duke and Master of Mecklenburg, I have this privilege!" Arrud was also a little angry, this dead hunchback didn't give himself face at all, and his voice couldn't help but raise a lot.

"That's right, Lord Duke, you are the supreme ruler of the principality, and you have such privileges at all, but ~~." Dylan. Matt looked up with all his might, looked at Arrod and said.

"But?" Arrod looked at this hunchback with his own hand with a sharp gaze, but his heart was extremely angry, if it was someone else, it would be fine, but Dylan. Matt didn't feel his kindness at all, and he disobeyed his will in public, which really made Arold unable to swallow the evil anger in his heart.

"However, I remember that the Duke once said to me that the laws made and enforced by Mecklenburg must be just, and everyone must abide by them, whether they are dukes or commoners, and they must act according to the law, so now that the Duke has used the power of amnesty, will not he overturn your previous words, and I understand it that way?" Dylan. Matt bowed deeply to Arrod and spoke to Arold with doubts in his heart.

"You." Arrod was so angry that he stood up and pointed at the seemingly respectful hunchback, but he couldn't refute it.

"Dylan. Lord Matt, although you are a chancellor, you are also appointed by the Duke, how can you disobey the orders of your own monarch. At this time, Brother Elvet's heart was full of schadenfreude, this Duchy of Mecklenburg was not Arold's property after all, Dylan. Matt, the dead hunchback, actually came out to die, how could he not push his political opponent at this time, so he walked out of the ranks of the courtiers and said to Dylan. Matt said.

"Hmph." Arjod flicked his sleeves away in exasperation, he knew what Brother Elvet meant, if he deposed Dylan now. There was no problem with Justice Matt's office, but Arjod knew very well that this was a great damage to the Mecklenburg judicial system, so he had to walk away.

"Arold." Princess Josie also quickly stood up and chased after Arrod, and the banquet hall suddenly buzzed like a busy city, and the nobles were a little overwhelmed.

"Come on, arrest these suspects." Dylan. Matt turned to the guards in the hall and ordered.

"Captain, what are they going to do?" Pei Hua and the others were very surprised, they didn't understand that a hunchback who looked like a clown came out, and after talking in the hall for a long time, Arold left angrily, and the guards surrounded them with weapons in their hands.

"Don't panic, don't act rashly." Li Ji from Dylan. Matt's words could tell that it was a court battle similar to that between courtiers and the monarch arguing over what to do with them, but he knew that Arold didn't really want to arrest them as criminals, otherwise he wouldn't be angry enough to leave.

"Brother Elvet, Lord Duke didn't let Dylan. Matt grab these Orientals! The nobles of the Elvite Friars faction walked up to him and said to him.

"It doesn't matter, since the justices insist on doing so, what can we do?" Brother Elvet smiled triumphantly, and the hunchback didn't even listen to Arrod's words, which was not self-defeating.

Arold angrily returned to his bedroom, he didn't think of Dylan. Matt would contradict him with what he had said, leaving him with no room in front of the courtiers.

"Arold." Princess Josie pushed the door open and walked in, and she saw Arrod, who was pacing angrily in the bedroom, and asked.

"Did he still think of me as a monarch, could it be that Mecklenburg had become Dylan. Matt's? Arold heard Princess Josie's voice behind him, and he turned around and crossed his waist and roared angrily.

"I understand, Dylan. Matt's decision to oppose you in public is indeed reckless. Princess Josie stepped forward, took Arold's arm, and comforted him.

"The abominable dead hunchback, a bed bug crawling on the ground, should have left him rotting in the dungeon in the first place." Arold sat on the edge of the bed, his chest heaving with rage.

"But Arrrod, as annoyed as you may be, I do think Dylan. Matt's words aren't wrong, is he? Princess Josie stepped forward, pulled off her long skirt with both hands, sat on the edge of the bed against Arold, and whispered softly to Arold.

"Ha, he's right, am I wrong?" Arold laughed angrily.

"You appointed Dylan in the first place. Matt was the Lord Chancellor of the Duchy and instructed him to obey the laws of Mecklenburg, isn't that what he is doing now? Princess Josie said to Arrod.

"Well, that's true, huh, but he's too faceless to me, I'm the Duke of Mecklenburg, his master." Arrod actually didn't understand this in the end, but he was a little unacceptable when he was hit all of a sudden.

"I believe he didn't mean it either, I think it's Mecklenburg's luck to have such a judge, and I should thank the Lord of Heaven!" Princess Josie smiled and said to Arrod.

"Okay, but those Orientals can't really be hanged, they're still of great use to me." After Arrod calmed down, he said to Princess Josie.
