Chapter 45: Building Momentum (I)
Du Pong quickly reported the results of the bombing trial to the Inter-Asia Police Liaison Department and the Donghu City Council, and his two competent administrative agencies quickly issued a resolution ordering him to transfer the case to the city court for a restrictive semi-public trial and conviction and sentencing. The so-called restricted-level semi-openness refers to the system of officials with a certain level of position who can participate in the hearing and witness the outcome of the trial, which is a way to ensure judicial fairness.
The city-state procuratorate filed a lawsuit with the court, because the facts of the case were clear and the evidence was conclusive, so the trial went very smoothly, the two confessed to the crimes listed, including those charges that were transferred, because Jiang Liu and the others had to do this, they wanted to leave a way for their families to live, they promised the dogya, confessed all the charges against them, just begged not to implicate their families, the dogya readily agreed, as long as they pleaded guilty first and completed the trial procedure, as for the private agreement on this kind of thing, how much binding force can it have, Genius knows!
The trial went smoothly, and the verdict was soon announced, and the result did not surprise anyone, and everyone guessed it - the hanging, which is commonly referred to as hanging. After the two principal offenders were notified of the verdict, neither of them objected, admitted the facts of the crime, obeyed the verdict, and waived the appeal. They re-confessed in court that they were facing extinction because their son and nephew were killed by the escorts of the Milan city-state's special supply train, and thus they had a grudge against the Duponts and the whole society, so they planned revenge, created a series of bombings, and secretly instigated the people who did not know the truth to resist the large-scale raid, causing fierce violent clashes between the people and the police, and after the casualties of the people, they incited the families of the deceased and other people to resist, thus breaking out into an escalating armed confrontation in a large area of the entire city-state, which caused the great riot of the city-state of Donghu, which was also the largest urban riot in the whole republic after the great unification; They also secretly contacted a group of exiled ronin, paid some scarce supplies, and hired them to attack the returning Milan city-state supply train, and eliminate the murderers of their relatives for them, but this group of mean and stubborn ronin, because they did not pay enough, spared the train conductor and two signalmen outside their designated target, leaving the knights of the steppe wolf team with key clues to solve the case, leaving them in prison, trial, and facing the death of questioning. In fact, the crimes they undertook were committed by several people, that is to say, this time they carried several black pots, including Xia Feng, Du Pong and his wife, Xu Cheng, Nan Ze, Zhu Tong and even Sergei, and of course, the Iron Blood Brotherhood and the revolutionaries.
The Knights have their own team of think tanks, and they are very good at seizing all kinds of opportunities to build momentum, in the trial of the serial bombings in the city-state of Donghu and the procedures for reporting the case, Dannon asked Guan Li to spread the case among the middle and high-level bureaucrats of the city-state, so that these people, while enjoying the privileged life brought to them by their prominent political status, at the same time pretending to accuse others of being unfavorable, incompetent, and having a poor diet, leading high-level official positions but governing the city-state, and the moths that are full of chaos. Find out who is defending the basic rights and interests of their interest class; Those who seek to change the current political situation have been secretly creating social chaos, inciting class contradictions, plotting to overthrow the current rule and knock them out of the clouds, and it is people like Nanze Doupong who have been working hard to prevent this extremism from growing, so they are heroes, heroes who deserve special mention.
The reason why I wanted to bring Nan Ze was to win the support of Sergei, the only representative of the current Donghu city-state in the Intercontinental Senate, and second, because of the influence of the Nanze family in the Donghu city-state, and this time to quell the riot, Nanze's performance was really admirable, it was he who took the initiative to ask Ying, and the internal guard army replaced the police, and quickly quelled the riot within the timetable when the situation was not completely out of control, and finally he did it, for the help he gave to Guan Li and Du Peng at that time, both of them made a truthful report to Dannon and the Dharma Protector Group in a comprehensive way, And the purpose of the Order has always been that I am good for good, evil for me for evil, and sin for sin. The Knights have always been generous to their friends, and while establishing the heroic image of the Dupont couple, they also pulled Nanze to their camp by the way, and even if they could not become brothers together, they could also be allies with a tendency to be friendly and sympathetic.
Although it is not yet clear that the actual effect will be seen, Dannon has no doubts about his own deployment, and he believes that as long as the identified supporters do not repeat themselves, then Dupont's victory is almost certain, perhaps not by a narrow margin previously estimated, but by one to two percent of the votes of the other side.
But even if these things are done, Dannon did not express his intention to leave Donghu, obviously he wanted to wait until the election results came out before leaving, his decision made Guan Li and Du Pong more confident, with this great god in charge, even if he strictly ordered not to reveal the news of his arrival in Donghu, but those old foxes who had been in the officialdom for a long time could soon detect who was carefully planning and directing behind this series of manipulations.
These old foxes include the head of the 27th district, Xu Cheng, who was sitting in his office at this time, and his face was not as speculated by the outside world, because the two main culprits in the serial bombing case were from his subordinates, and he seemed to be listening attentively to the report, and the reporter was sitting opposite him, which was his cousin Hao Hai.
When Hao Hai finished reporting, Yin Cheng closed his eyes slightly, and after a moment of contemplation, his eyes suddenly opened, and he said in a low voice: "Hmph, our old friend came to see us, and he didn't even say hello beforehand, which is really rude." ”
Xin Hai was stunned when he heard this, he had just said that he had detected that a meritorious knight was coming to the Donghu City-State, and he was not sure which of the thirty-six Rihui knights it was, and his cousin said this, could it be ..... His eyes widened in surprise and said, "Brother, do you mean that there are still high-ranking figures in the Knights Order?" Isn't that the Knight of the Protector? Yin Cheng nodded firmly: "Yes, it's the Dharma Protector Knight, I guess, it's either Mingjian or Dannon." ”
