Chapter 172: Justice Will Prevail (Part II)
"Bang bang—"
The heavy wooden door was pounded violently. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
This room is one of the best in Limerick City, with incense beds, sky-blue curtains, and a sumptuous breakfast and dinner provided free of charge, as well as laundry service, it is not easy for even the famous and wealthy merchants to get their hands on such a room.
One of the most serious contenders for the title in consecutive fights, the Knight of Lefebvre now lives here - even though his reputation has deteriorated.
"Are you coming?"
The knight of Lefebvre listened to the rough knock at the door, and thought silently, even if his reputation was almost to the limit, the average person was only afraid, just like the servant yesterday, seeing him was like seeing a man-eating beast, and even the water for washing his feet was almost overturned. In the whole of Munster, the only person who has the ability and confidence to knock on a knight's door like this is probably the town guard, or more seriously, the standing army......
"The knight of Lefebvre?"
Sure enough, when the door was opened, a rather familiar face was revealed—only the one-sided familiarity of the knight of Lefebvre, and little Odegar was still in the dark.
"Yes, I am."
Simply admitted, but little Odegar didn't seem to dare to confirm it, and pulled a cowering person behind him to the front, pointed to the knight of Lefebvre and asked, "How?" Are you sure it's him? ”
"Yes, yes, that's him, that's him."
The man said this, but he didn't even look at the knight's face, and the knight of Lefebvre immediately realized that this was what Klein had said yesterday, that the dead man had found a scoundrel from the street.
"Knight Lefebvre, there is a testimony that you have committed the crime of robbery and murder, please come with us."
Since the man had said so, and the knight of Lefebvre had no intention of refuting it at all, little Odegar said so, and by the way he took a pair of hands to the knight and asked him to put them on.
"I won't wear it, I'm innocent, I have a clear conscience."
Completely ignoring the existence of the hand, the knight of Lefebvre held his head high, passed everyone and walked directly to the front, and little Odega had no choice but to throw his hand to his subordinates and followed behind the knight. After all, being a knight is somewhat privileged.
"Look! It's that badass! ”
"Beat him, beat him, avenge the innocent knight!"
"Sell green cabbage and rotten radish, as long as a copper plate, grab it and throw ......it away"
Out of the hotel, the crowd besieging at the door was immediately excited, all kinds of foul language were unbearable, rotten vegetables and rotten turnips flew all over the sky, and there seemed to be some discordant profiteers mixed in them, and the unsuspecting knight of Lefebvre suddenly became full of color, and there was everything on his head and body.
"You're going to get some torture, you're going to feel some pain......"
What the little Tang Grand Duke said yesterday is still in his ears, and it is obvious that this is also the arrangement of the little Tang Grand Duke, and the knight Lefebvre can only smile bitterly and shake his head.
It is indeed torture and pain, and for the knightly class, who value their reputation more than their lives, if they are humiliated in public, they would rather commit suicide to prove their innocence than steal their lives.
"But, shit knightly glory, I've long since thrown it away."
Thinking like this, the knight of Lefebvre ignored the rotten greens that were still coming at him, held his head high, raised his head and continued to walk forward, but the little Odega behind was heartbroken, this is a proud knight, and he is also a guy with extremely high force value, and one person can fight a group of guys!
In case this knight goes crazy and dances as a street dance sword, it is not certain whether these town guards he brings can stop each other!
"You guys, go and form an encirclement, wrap the knight of Lefèvre in the middle, raise your shield, and don't let him be smashed again!"
Little Odega hurriedly said to the town guards beside him, those guards had a bitter face, this is really a thankless job, you can confirm that you will not be clean, but the chief has an order, so they can only obey.
Finally arrived at the town square, the flow of people was not only not less at all, but more, so many that it was several times the original, and the crowd was overwhelming, and little Odega had to disperse the support that had just arrived to maintain order, which barely allowed the tragedy to happen.
Next, there is the so-called public trial.
The public trial, which is really a very interesting thing, is still in the early middle of the Middle Ages, and the original circuit courts of King William of England are still only practiced in England and Normandy, and the rest of the world is still according to the tradition, the lords have their own manor courts in their fiefdoms, the merchants have their own commercial courts (also commonly known as the courts of clayfeet) in the municipalities, and in some places there are hundreds of courts left over from the Germanic tribal tradition.
Of course, now that the Grand Duke of Xiao Tang is in power, you have to get rid of all these old habits for me. The role of the courts mentioned earlier has long since been replaced by new students who have received specialized legal knowledge training and are familiar with the systematic legal norms and the complete judicial system.
By the way, the supreme judge is the Grand Duke of Xiao Tang, and the acting presiding judge is Klein.
The knight of Lefebvre suddenly wanted to laugh.
Especially when he got to the town square and saw the serious face of Klein sitting on the high platform, he almost couldn't hold back his laughter.
No wonder the master was able to say such things before, and manipulate other people's heads in the palm of his hand, it turned out to be such a happy thing.
"Knight Lefebvre, you have been charged with robbery, murder, and theft, and the evidence is conclusive, are you guilty?"
"I haven't done any of these things."
The play that should be played still has to be played, little Odegar brought the knight of Lefebvre to the judgment seat, and removed the knight's sword, during which the knight did not resist at all, seeing this situation, little Odega can be regarded as relieved - so the acting skills of Klein and Lefebvre are actually not bad.
"You bastard! The guy who kills people and goes to hell! ”
"Guilty! Guilty! ”
Seeing that the knight of Lefebvre was still holding his head high and proud like a lion at such a point, the crowd of onlookers was at once unhappy, and they wanted to see the scene of the criminals trembling and crying and begging for mercy, not as they are now, as if they were wronging a hero.
"Quiet!"
As soon as the wood was shocked, the loud noise immediately suppressed all the noise of the crowd, and Klein said angrily: "This is the courtroom!" It is up to the court to judge whether you are guilty or not! If there is any noise, they will all be dragged out and hit ten boards! ”
The crowd immediately fell silent.
After all, it's one thing to watch a play, it's another thing to get involved and get beaten for no reason.
"Heirloom card—"
The witness is the hooligan, this hooligan is also bold, and he dares to go up at this moment, but maybe it's also because his family is controlled by the dead, and if he doesn't stand up, he will die?
"I was hunting in the mountains that day, and I happened to pass by, and I saw this man, who was pulling out the clothes of a dead man and putting them on himself......"
Well, there are actually quite a lot of flaws in this testimony, and some places can be regarded as self-contradiction, but that's it, if it's not a contradiction, how can it be turned around?
"The witness is over, Knight Lefebvre, do you have any objections?"
"I've never done anything like that."
Klein continued to ask, and the knight of Lefebvre was like a repeater, and would not say anything other than that.
"Then pass on the physical evidence."
Crane nodded, no matter what the knight said, it was just a play anyway, as long as the complete trick was done, it was enough.
The physical evidence is a long knife with blood, and there are still some mottled blood stains on the knife, God, the person who wrote the script really underestimates people's IQ, just such a broken knife, you can buy it in any blacksmith shop, and the blood on it may be chicken blood, how can it be used as physical evidence?
The key is the people around them, and they really believe it.
"I see, it's a good show."
Outside the crowd, a cold snort sounded, it was the voice of Veneto, the fourth son of the Dandolo family.
"Lord Dagong is really a good calculation, it doesn't cost a penny, just acting in a play, he can make his reputation and kindness spread all over the world, he really deserves to be the person I fancie, it's really not ordinary."
"I don't understand what you're talking about."
Standing beside Veneto was the head of diplomacy, Bard, who was well versed in the meaning of the word "dodge", and said with a professional smile on his face.
"Don't hide it." Veneto snorted coldly again, as if he was dissatisfied with his lack of insight in advance: "If I'm not mistaken, then it's time for the Grand Duke to appear, and the scene is reversed." ”
…… There are still a lot of smart people in this world, especially those who do big business, all of them are ghosts and ghosts, and they will all understand it, and their eyes will no longer look at the courtroom but in the direction of Dukara Castle, where the little Tang Duke must pass.
"The evidence of man and material is conclusive, Lefebvre, your charges are unforgivable, and I now sentence you to be hanged in the name of the most honorable Archduke Munster, who is favored by Heaven!"
The performance on the stage continued, Klein had already pronounced the conviction of Lefebvre, and the masked executioner stepped forward, grabbed Lefebvre's hand left and right, and was about to send him to the gallows, the form had reached the most critical moment, and in the evening a copy of Lefebvre's soul would return to heaven, that is, the time had come.
"Leave people under the knife-"
