Chapter 1715: The Rose Trial
"According to the previous testimony of the lower officials, the so-called Emergency Committee has already had a conspiracy to seize the supreme power of the Federation and continue to maintain its violent rule! They are despicable traitors! Shameless national beetle! The Federation, the beacon of freedom and civilization in the sky, is precisely because of the existence of this group of vampire silverfish, and the people of the Federation have always lived a miserable life...... I can't wait to eat its flesh and drink its blood raw, but, after all, I am just a powerless literati, and there is a family of children who dare to be angry but dare not speak. Woo woo, I'm guilty! I plead guilty before the goddess! ”
Handsome and dashing in the courtroom, the pain and tears are like cuckoos crying blood. Probably because he is indeed a personable and gentle uncle, he is particularly inciting when he cries, so it also makes many onlookers empathize, and then they start crying.
It was about everyone's response that made him very satisfied, and Mr. Soldino became even more excited, and his voice suddenly increased, as if every character was full of accusations and shouts: "I think of the pseudo-speaker of the Emergency Committee, who asked me to send them soft articles in the newspaper every day to wash their whitewash, and I can't resist!" Boo, I'm guilty! Here's a transcript of our conversation at the time. ”
"Shameless...... "Sesilu, who was sitting in the middle of the front row of the auditorium, sighed quietly.
"Shameless!" The "onlookers" sitting behind her and next to her—in fact, all wealthy businessmen and celebrities in the cultural circles—probably heard her words and immediately shouted loudly, causing the crowd behind to also heckle.
Mr. Soldino was even more excited: "Hey, he also said that he also asked each of my editors to submit him a hundred articles praising merit every day, and he would choose them!" ”
He also said, he also said that if I didn't pay it, he would preach that I didn't flush the toilet when I went to the toilet! Boom! ”
"He's talking about my girlfriend! Boom! ”
The empathy in the auditorium was even heavier, and Seyleuk even heard quite a few people
"What a talent...... "Seyleu couldn't help but sigh again.
"Yes, it's simply a talent in the shameless world! The king of the world of thieves! Someone chimed in. Sehireu remembered that it was a wealthy businessman, as if he was a supplier to the Violet family's peripheral engineering contractor or something.
That's not what I meant! Sehiraeus was just trying to tell the difference, but he heard someone shouting: "Down with the thieves!" ”
This person is a somewhat famous writer, and I remember that the famous work is "The Road to Heroes - The Battle of Kringles".
"Hang them! No, behead for public display! Chop it up and feed it to the goblins! "Someone slapped the table vigorously, as if he was a middle-level bureaucrat of a shipping office, his voice was so bold and so full, but the person was actually quite bewitching, and it was said that he had a little inexplicable relationship with the former chief of shipping affairs, an old man of the Eurentian family who died the year before last.
Seyleus felt that it was better not to speak. She couldn't help but look at the three black-robed priests on the observation table opposite—Skria, the bishop of Uton, the goddess of judgment and justice, and two priests with swords. His Excellency the Bishop, who was known for his impartiality and seriousness, was smiling hard at this time, and there seemed to be a smile in the folds of his face.
This is clearly an absurd farce with low IQ, and it will be a shame for the Federation to spread it! Seyle, who was particularly responsible, wanted to get under the table for a while. She now felt that Lu Xi's not coming this time was such a wise move.
"Wow! I can't imagine that the defendant is such a shameless person! The old judge sighed with emotion, his face full of interest, and an expression of "if there is anything else you want to say, I want to continue listening".
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......" Seyleu began to cough, although this trick was very old-fashioned, but at this time she only had this trick to use.
The old judge woke up like a dream, coughed embarrassedly, and knocked the table in front of him with a small wooden hammer: "Silence! Quiet! Uh-huh, defendant, do you have anything else to say now? ”
Turner Wielanbat, who had been standing in the dock, opened his eyes and glanced around with an arrogant and cold look. The auditorium was suddenly as silent as a cicada, which was much more useful than the "silence" of Mr. Judge. Even Mr. Soldino in the witness stand bowed his head, not daring to look at him, and muttered a few times, but could not say anything.
The only person in the audience who could keep eye on Turner without falling into disadvantage was Sehireliu. However, Turner's eyes only stayed on her for a moment, and then quickly moved away.
Anyway, Sesilele was just a small episode. Although Turner Wielambart has lost all his power, strength and wealth, and has been pressed into the stands like a display board in a zoo, he is still tall and proud, and he has never lost his physique.
He sneered and raised his chin at the submissive Soldino: "What a ridiculous farce!" I still remember when this clown ran to my house with an expensive crystal plate and begged me, it was like a dog! ”
He groaned for a moment, then suddenly turned to Sesiluk's side again, and said faintly, "Does he think that by humiliating me in such a place, he can subvert our influence?" So, why didn't he dare to show up in person and face me in person? Power and prestige are maintained by awe, and when there are more jokes, there is no reverence. Doesn't he understand? When he humiliates us so much today, one day, someone will subvert his rule and humiliate him like this...... Or is he and your descendants? Do you understand? Miss Moore, you and your man are making stupidity! ”
There was an uproar, and no matter how much the judge knocked on the table, he couldn't keep quiet. The three priests in the observation table continued to watch the play with great interest, but the famous "judge" Bishop Sklya had a deep gaze, and opened a document on the table, as if ready to speak.
Sesilio spoke before the bishop: "You have mistaken him, Master Wilambart, and you have mistaken power and prestige. I don't expect you to understand the meaning of the latter, after all, it is our most fundamental disagreement with you. I'll just say the former...... It's not a nice word, but it's not that he doesn't dare to face you, but he feels that you really don't matter. ”
Turner Wielanbart waited in disbelief for the eyes, "...... You, what do you say? ”
"Compared with the subsequent political situation of the Federation, the well-being of tens of millions of citizens, how to rebuild their homes, how to compensate them for the losses suffered in the civil war, how to make them live and work in peace and contentment again, compared with your results, really does not matter. Actually, I have a bunch of things to do here, and I didn't have time to come here. However, I think that since everyone regards me as Lu Xi's representative, it can be regarded as his courtesy to come and see you off, and it can be regarded as my little responsibility for him. ”
At this, Sesilio shut up. She felt that enough was enough of it. However, he didn't expect that Turner Wielambat, who was over there, let out an almost hysterical roar as if all his dignity and arrogance had been sucked away: "No, he is just afraid of me!" He didn't dare face me! ”
"What about you? Who are you to judge me! I am the legitimate Speaker of the Federation, the highest legal head of the Federation, and I am the ......"
"Or the investors behind the release of the Lich and the remnants of the Plague King, aren't they?" It was Bishop Skelia who interrupted him. He picked up the document on the table and patted it gently: "We have obtained a lot of decisive testimony from the captured necromancer, and we are going to check it up, and there will be more decisive physical evidence soon." ”
“…… You, I...... When did your Great Church become the dog of Belencaster? ”
This is a typical life attack of a defeated dog barking, and it has no effect on His Excellency the Bishop. He no longer looked at Turner, but nodded in the direction of the judge: "Of course, in the final analysis, I am only responsible for the observation and deliberation, and provide a little advice to the court. ”
"Well, then, this court has pronounced a verdict, Turner Wielambat, guilty of treason! Murder of the legitimate head of the Federation and convicted! Collusion with the remnants of the Demon God and convicted! Arsonist, established! Offences against public safety...... Death sentence! Execute it now! His Excellency began to knock on the table, with a look of pity on his face, probably because he had not heard more secret gossip from the nobles of the Gatelords.
Sesilus got up to leave, and the onlookers and court guards hurriedly made way for her, as if to send off a ...... Well, Queen.
Miss Student Council President was actually very unaccustomed to this look, but her mind had already turned to the welcome meeting with the representatives of the various heavenly districts later, and she did not care.
It doesn't matter how the execution was carried out later. To put it bluntly, this public trial is to set a legal and reasonable tone for this civil war, so that it can be regarded as a complete end to the civil war.
What really made Turner Wielanbart sad was that although he was not the only person sentenced to death in court, and there were Lynno Apts, Maison Eurentian, Caris Keringers and other gatekeepers to accompany him on the road, Violet Wielanbart was the only family whose property was confiscated.
The Alpha family, which has been worn for thousands of years, has completely destroyed the Violet Vilanbart family, and by the time it has revived, it has completely nothing to do with the political arena of the Federation...... Well, if they can really resurrect from the ashes.
In fact, Dandy Lane's family also lost everything, but this family that can talk about things is either dead or nowhere to be found, leaving only the old and the young to tremble.
Seyle, the soft-hearted of the friends, was a little unbearable, thinking that he had a little affection for Admiral Halda Dandylane, who was missing, so he secretly gave the other party's sixteen-year-old only daughter a sum of money. The girl, who had lost everything overnight, expressed her feelings of hatred, gratitude, helplessness, and relief, and left Elichar with all her family, never to be found.
The only man who escaped death was Lucar Mencius, who was given a symbolic sentence of ten years in prison, but could spend his old age in captivity on a country estate and his daughter and grandchildren.
Many people don't understand, but Lu Xi insists on it. In any case, Marshal Kyle Mencius and himself had a friendship with him who fought side by side, and it could even be regarded as a life-saving grace, and he really couldn't turn his face and deny people and immediately do something to his family. Indeed, he sincerely hoped that the men of the House of Mencius would henceforth be in peace; However, if they really had to die, they would not be sorry for the Marshal Mencius.
In addition, a large number of bureaucrats, military officers and parliamentarians of the Emergency Council and the Gatelord faction have been gradually cleared out of the federal political arena and have been expelled, imprisoned, or confiscated from their property. Of course, all of their dispositions were tried by a "reasonable and legal" court, a process that lasted nearly three years, and was later known as the "Second Berencaster Prison" or "Rose Trial".
Of course, in the course of this trial, the new federal government has cultivated a group of quite capable legal officials, which has laid a considerable foundation for future institutionalization.
However, we must also know that the truly intelligent nobles are all hydra-headed birds. Except for the perished Wilanbart and Dandy Lane, the rest of the families have long been ready to survive with their tails cut off, and even their heads and bodies are ready to live. And smart as Lu Xi and his friends also understand that if they want to really kill all those surnamed Eurentian, Keringels, and Ils, then it is themselves who have lost their righteousness.
It is not even possible to expel them all. During the civil war, these families were born, and there were still many subordinates who fought under their command.
All in all, in the future federation, the parliamentarians, bureaucrats, and military officers who gave birth to these old gatekeepers will still emerge one after another, but in the subsequent series of reforms of the federal government, they will indeed lose all, at least on the surface, their privileges, and will be subject to the vigilance and invisible discrimination of all subsequent federal executive groups.
In the subsequent history, with the development of the times, the civilization of this world has stepped onto the sea of stars, and the moment when the federal government no longer exists, the federation has never given birth to a supreme head who was born with the old gatekeeper.
But that's all for later.
In fact, as Cesileu said, Lu Xi is not like facing Turner Wielambat, he has more important things to do than the end of an inconspicuous so-called "enemy".
For example, what kind of attitude should he have towards Master Paron Avaral?
And how should he deal with the political allies left behind by Master Rassell, such as Admiral Agrol, who had just been released, Lieutenant General Makarov, the commander of the secret imperial history, and Governor Anros.
How much do they know?
