Purse Avenue, in front of the Inquisition. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
A carriage with a Bron flag came slowly, stopped in front of the steps of the doorway, the door opened, and Jeanne got out of the carriage, dressed in a formal priest's robe, with her hair pulled up in the white top hat of the priest, and went up the steps into the courtroom, and went up to the hall where the official priest worked on the second floor, and immediately saw that her colleagues had already arrived, and were in their respective seats dealing with everyday cases.
"Ah, Miss Jenny." Someone saw Jenny and was a little surprised, "I heard that you are sick, are you better?" ”
Jenny felt a little ashamed in her heart, this was the reason her father gave him to take leave, and said, "It's better, everyone is worried." ”
"Okay."
"Jenny, morning."
The others also saw Jenny and greeted her.
Jenny responded one by one, and suddenly saw several colleagues gathered in front of another seat, talking in a low voice, and stepped forward and said, "Are there any big cases recently?" ”
These people chatted energetically, and only noticed him when they heard Jenny's words, and exclaimed, "You're coming to work?" ”
"Just came today." Jenny looked at a few people curiously and said, "Are you discussing a big case?" ”
One of the young priests shook his head and said: "There is no big case here in our Pusi District, we are talking about the matter of the Inquisition in the Terre District, haven't you heard, Deacon Hollet was assassinated, and his real culprit was finally found, it was actually a young master of the Milan family, tsk, do you say these nobles are ......" As soon as he said this, he suddenly thought that Jenny was also a nobleman, and she was an upper-class nobleman among the nobles, and she suddenly stopped.
Jenny's eyes widened when she heard his words, and she said, "Deacon Hollet was assassinated?" And it was made by the Milan family? How is that possible, why did they go and assassinate Deacon Hollet? ”
"I don't know." Another young girl priest shook her head and said, "It is said that Deacon Hollet helped the Milan family handle some shady cases, and the Milan family was worried that Deacon Hollet would be exposed and affect their family, so they secretly assassinated him." ”
Jenny was stunned and said, "Deacon Hollet has handled so many cases, he is fair and strict, how can he help the Milan family, this is ......"
"The Inquisition of the District of There has already passed its verdict." The young man shrugged his shoulders and said, "I guess I couldn't resist the temptation of money, after all, deacons are also human beings and lack money." ”
When Jenny heard his words, her heart was a little blocked, and she couldn't help but say: "Money is really so heavy, isn't it true that when we become priests, don't we just punish sins and uphold justice?" ”
The young girl glanced at her and said, "You are a nobleman, you have not been short of money since you were a child, and naturally you can't feel the charm of money...... Speaking of this, seeing the look of the young man next to her, she immediately stopped talking and continued, several people looked at each other, and the young man said: "I still have a case to deal with, so I'll get busy first." With that, he turned around and returned to his seat.
The others also dispersed.
Jenny's face was ugly, and she bit her lip tightly, as if the wall in her heart had been broken, and she silently returned to her seat, but she could not raise the slightest passion for work in her heart, and lay on her desk, dazed. After a long time, her thoughts recovered a little, and she swept the newspaper on the desktop of a colleague opposite, and her heart moved, and she stepped forward and said, "Borrow your newspaper and read it." ”
When the colleague saw that it was her, he smiled and said, "Take it." ”
Jenny thanked her in a low voice, took a few of the newspapers, and returned to her seat to read them.
"Deacon Hollett is sentenced for assassinating the real murderer!"
"Vikander Milan is in prison, who will be the future successor of the Milan family?"
Seeing the headlines in the newspaper, Jenny's fingers trembled slightly, until this moment, she didn't believe that this matter was true, and what she didn't expect was that the murderer turned out to be Vikander, who had proposed to her many times in the past few years, and she couldn't help but think of the face of this handsome young man, who pursued her many times in the past three years, although she didn't have the idea of marrying him, but she also had a good impression, she didn't expect such a promising and chic noble knight of glory to do such a heinous thing.
"Kill Horlet's wife ...... to kill her" Jenny saw the report below, and felt a little pain in her heart, her father often said that knowing people and knowing faces does not know their hearts, even the glorious knights certified by the knight's hall would do such cruel things?
She clutched the newspaper tightly, and suddenly, in the folds of the newspaper when it was clenched, she accidentally saw a word, just glanced at it, her heart beat inexplicably, and she looked at it intently.
I saw a report written in an inconspicuous corner under the newspaper:
"The Milan family Longshan ruby has not been lost, it is a family misunderstanding, and after the judgment of the court, the probationary priest Mr. 'Dudian' has been cleared, and the Milan family has given 30,000 gold coins as compensation......
Seeing this record, Jenny only felt that her mind was blank with a bang, and her mind was buzzing, and after a long time, she came back to her senses, looked again, and read it three times in a row, to make sure that she was not mistaken.
"Wronged? Was he wronged? Jenny muttered to herself, her fingers trembling slightly, and she couldn't help but think of the boy's heartbroken, desperate gaze and his unrepentant stubborn words when she was parting in that dark prison three years ago.
"I am not guilty, why should I confess?"
"I have no ...... sin"
These words echoed in her ears as if they were yesterday, and she could vaguely feel full of grief and strength from them.
"He really has no guilt......" Jenny's eyes were red, and tears fell from her eyes in large pieces, soaking in the newspaper, "I wronged him, I didn't believe him......" The pain in her heart was like a knife, as if she could feel how sad and desperate Du Di'an's mood was at that time, and the last desperate gaze stabbed her chest like a sharp knife, suffocating in pain.

Lane Castle.
Dudian and Forin sat at the breakfast table, eating their breakfast.
"Your report is so vague that it doesn't mention the crimes of the Milan family and the prison sentence you received when you were wronged, but instead focuses on the compensation of the Milan family." Fulin folded the newspaper and looked at it, shook his head and sighed, "It seems that the Milan family has spent a lot of money on it. ”
Dudian nodded, after yesterday's trial, today's newspapers all over the city are reporting on the assassination of Horette and the Milan family, like a storm, involving the Milan family, and the reputation has been seriously hit, and this matter is a double-edged sword for the Milan family and the Inquisition, both have mutual losses, but the Inquisition is lighter and the Milan family is heavier.
As for the impact on the aristocratic class as a whole, it was negligible.
Not all commoners worship the aristocracy, and commoners who hate the aristocracy also abound, hatred of the rich and worship of wealth are both a kind of psychology, and people are divided into two categories, but no matter how much they hate the rich, they can only endure it, and dare not show it.
