Several major events took place in the week after the castle was breached, the first of which was the establishment of the provisional government of the town of Arano, and Chen Hansheng became the real mayor of the town. The administrative staff is mainly from Chen Hansheng's working group, but of course a small number of more cooperative locals are also included.

The second thing was that the Provisional Government burned all the serf contracts of the Baron's family. In addition, he established Arano Farm, Arano Forest Farm, Arano Mine and other operating enterprises, and turned the adult laborers who were willing to sign contracts into employees of the Tower of China.

These serfs became contract laborers, and most of them still did not understand what was going on. In their opinion, it was just a change of owner. But there are some smart people who have already discovered the difference, and it seems that they who receive wages will no longer be unable to eat because of poor harvests?

The third thing is to prepare for the public trial. In order to make the majority of the population understand what a court is, the mutual aid society and the women spent several days educating the townspeople about the basics of the law, and some of the more clever townspeople were even able to name a few articles of the Penal Code, although they naturally heard a colloquialized and simplified version of the Penal Code.

And the collection of witnesses and evidence took a lot of effort. Although Chen Hansheng doesn't read much, he recognizes a truth in his heart, no matter what he does, it is best to have a regular appearance at the beginning, and it is not easy to go crooked later. Although the format of the public trial itself has a lot of epochal overtones, and it is a gradually forbidden behavior in his world, it is undoubtedly a great step forward here.

For the townspeople of Arano Town, the significance of such an event is far more than just learning about the law, but also to make them understand that those nobles and mages who are usually high in power are not born noble, and that there is a power to judge them, and they must also be held accountable for what they have done like everyone else.

On this day, a high platform was erected in the small square in front of the Baron's Palace, above which was the judgment area. Below the high platform is the auditorium where most of the townspeople gather to observe the public trial meeting against the "evil forces" in Alano Town.

Chen Hansheng stood in the waiting area, surrounded by guards detaining more than a dozen defendants. Although today's trial process includes court investigation and court debate, barring a major turning point, the fate of these people is basically decided. And in order to have a better effect, all the defendants will be sentenced in court.

Still wearing the Ring of Confinement, Akleh, who was holding his hands behind his back, watched Hahn being escorted into the dock, his expression mixed with unease and puzzlement, "Lord Chen, is this your answer?

Chen Hansheng's expression was very indifferent: "No, your proposal is very interesting. But it's not a bargaining chip for me to do business with you. No one escapes the law. ”

Aclair glanced at Ruth behind him and said, "She is a woman, and her injuries are just a little better, do she have to accept such a trial?"

Chen Hansheng said: "All the people here have clear evidence to prove their crimes, do you remember the interrogation two days ago? We didn't wronged you, right? You have to pay the price for what you have done, and so do they." After the verdict, if you want to work with us on the matter in Alvita Town, we can talk again. ”

"You don't want to accept my deal, and you still expect me to work with you?" said Aclair, angry.

"I think you're going to make the right choice. ”

As soon as the two spoke, the prosecutor had already made charges against Hahn: "...... Hahn forcibly had sex with Erin while she was cleaning his room, and due to Erin's fierce resistance, Hahn choked Erin's neck, making her unable to breathe, and finally died...... "In order to take care of the local people, the words used in the court are deliberately simple and popular.

"What's going on? I told Israel that did this!" Aclair snapped, "why did it become Hahn?" ”

"Didn't you hear the presiding judge ask Hahn about him, and he already confessed?" Chen Hansheng pointed to the court.

"How is it possible, how could he admit these things, you forced him!"

Of course, there is evidence for this, he just can't refute it. Chen Hansheng said unhurriedly.

Soon, witnesses were called. Among them were the maid who was in the next room at the time, the guards who helped Hahn dispose of the corpse, and the knight who heard Hahn boast about it among his friends.

One piece of evidence after another framed the matter little by little on the process of the crime stated by the prosecutor.

As the evidence emerged, the townsfolk became angrier, with some jumping out and cursing Hahn, others demanding that he be hanged immediately, and even picking up rocks from the ground and throwing them at the defendant. Among them was Doris, who stood at the front of the auditorium. After the presiding judge warned them that they had been repeatedly invalid, he had to send escorts to remove the most excessive of them from the auditorium.

"Look, is there any evidence here that you think is made up?"

Aclay knew what had happened, and the testimony of these witnesses was almost entirely true to what he knew. He couldn't say anything about it.

However, he didn't expect that this was just the beginning, the prosecutor raised four or five more cases in one go, three of which were homicides, and even Aclair didn't know that his fourth brother, who was usually quiet at home, was such a violent and murderous person in the town. In one case, a woodcutter carried a burden that hit Hahn's horse's leg and he was disemboweled by him. This matter was clearly seen by the whole street, and seven or eight witnesses alone came up.

In the final courtroom debate stage, the defense lawyer's defense was very pale and weak, and before he could say a few words about the cross-examination of the credibility of the witnesses, his head was almost smashed by a flying stone from the auditorium.

It was time for the defendant to make his final statement. Hahn said with a look of remorse on it, "Yes, I did all this, but I want to ask Lord Chen to forgive me. I've been thinking about it for a long time in prison, and it's not my fault alone. This is the fault of the entire aristocratic circle. Since childhood, they have told me with words and deeds that people are different, some people are nobler than me, some people are not as noble as me, and civilians are not people, they are just our tools. So, I'm just, a mischievous kid who destroys tools. Never wanted to kill a person who really had thoughts and powers......"

As soon as these words came out, they once again detonated the auditorium, and if Chen Hansheng hadn't immediately sent more people, Hahn would have been killed on the spot by the crowd who rushed up. So much so that the court had to surround Jaén with militia.
