Chapter 31: The End of Each Other
"That's what I'm talking about aristocracy. A group of megalomaniacs who think they are higher than ordinary people even when they die. Kalanda said.
"Hahn is just telling the truth!" argued Akle, "no one can leave the group he belongs to! Hahn has done a little bit of it, but it's definitely not the worst of the time. ”
Hearing Aclay say such words, Chen Hansheng couldn't help but look at him with admiration, this person had realized what class was. However, Chen Hansheng said: "What you say makes sense, but now we have the final say here." So the rules here are our rules, and here the good and bad are our good and bad. Under our rule, our laws will give everyone a well-deserved end. ”
"Kings and lords will not need another set of order. ”
"I'm curious why you're so different from your brother, and I don't think he would have done so many stupid things if he had half of your mind. Chen Hansheng asked.
"Does it matter?"
"Just curious. ”
Aclair sighed, "My brother had a serious illness and almost died. So I had the same education as my brother. ”
When Aclair said this, Chen Hansheng understood that Baron O'Farrell had cultivated him as an heir.
Kalanda told him that the education of the heirs of the nobility and the other children was completely different. The former is educated in how to be a lord and requires a certain understanding of politics, military affairs, and economics, while the latter learns how to serve the lord and be a knight, official, or priest of the temple of nature.
After Hahn's statement, the collegial panel quickly handed down a verdict, and Hahn was sentenced to death on multiple charges including intentional homicide, which will be executed immediately after the public trial.
Hahn looked at the presiding judge Deng Zibing incomprehensibly: "How can this be! Do you really want to kill a nobleman for a few ordinary people? I have repented, I can lose money, I can serve you, I am a middle-level warrior!! I can fight for you! In the kingdom, in the empire, in the southern city-state, not a middle-level warrior will be sentenced to death for killing a few ordinary people!"
The presiding judge ignored his wailing and said to himself: "This is the final judgment of the collegial panel, and since there is no higher court yet, you have no right to appeal." ”
When Hahn was carried out by the guards, he kept saying, "I have surrendered, let my brother ransom me!
"Hahn, what about your dignity, don't disgrace the family!" roared Akelai. However, his voice was quickly drowned out by the cheers of the surrounding townspeople.
Aclay looked at Chen Hansheng with a pleading gaze: "Do you really want to kill a nobleman? ”
Chen Hansheng shook his head lightly: "No, we didn't come up with any ideas, let alone openly hostile to the nobles, everything was just dealt with after the war." Most people just think I'm a brutal lord. ”
"You're not. That's the scariest part. Aclay looked sad, "Maybe he's just the beginning." ”
Next were the captain of the baron's guard and four of his cronies, who, though not nobles, did no less evil than Hahn. There was also a merchant who sold magically tainted food to the townspeople at a low price, and ate several old people and children to death. There was a knight who used to use the blood of children to refine magical weapons. Although none of these men pleaded guilty, they were all sentenced to death under conclusive evidence.
The latter heavyweight is the mage Susanna, who is accused of using the baron's prisoners to conduct magical experiments, resulting in the prisoner's death after being seriously injured,
Susana stood in the dock and stated with a cold face, "This is a moment of shame for the wizarding world. It was actually an ordinary person who judged the magician. The magical order established by the ancestors of the Seven Holy Towers has been trampled on by you. Whatever you say, I won't accept it. Time will tell that your shameless performances here are all farce. ”
And her words did not cause any resonance at the scene, and even her disciple Pera sat in the listening area and did not dare to squeak. Susana was found guilty of intentional injury resulting in death and was sentenced to a suspended death sentence.
The next defendant was Ruth, the eldest daughter of the baron.
She had just recovered from her injuries, but she was still very weak, and she was placed in a chair. She was accused of teaching the maid a lesson, breaking two of her legs, leaving her maimed and disabled. Ruth didn't say a word throughout the trial, and when it was her turn to speak, she just shook her head and looked at her severed arm in a daze.
In the end, she was sentenced to five years in prison.
Akle was almost the last to play, although he was the second son of the baron, but he really didn't do anything very excessive, and most of his affairs happened at your will. In the end, he was sentenced to two years in prison for the crime of participating in an underworld criminal organization. All the male knights who participated in the battle, but had no bad deeds, were punished for this crime.
After the people involved in the Baron's Court were sentenced, the soldiers of the convoy brought in three villagers who were involved in the mutual support group. One of them, who molested a lady-in-waiting in the Baron's palace and two who stole the Baroness's jewelry, was sentenced to prison terms ranging from two to three years for forcible indecent assault and theft, respectively.
The townspeople did not dispute the verdict. Because Chen Hansheng has long said that the mutual aid association will never tolerate criminals hiding inside, even if they are on the side of justice, they will be punished for committing crimes.
By the time everyone's verdict was over, it was already afternoon.
The bench on the high platform was dismantled and turned into an execution stand. Eight people, including Hahn, will be executed here. All other convicts were forced to watch the execution up close. After discussion, the members of the working group finally decided to use the method of shooting, and each of the criminals was pressed by two people and escorted to the stage to kneel. Behind each of them was a fighter with an air gun, switching to a one-hit booster and aiming it at the back of the heads.
Hahn, who had been shouting loudly just now, was now silent, his body trembling uncontrollably, and he didn't know what he was muttering, maybe he was praying to the god of nature. The more unbearable people around him were already wet under him. Many of the other criminals didn't want to look at them, and Ruth and the others simply closed their eyes. Only Aclair looked at Hahn with a heavy face.
On the contrary, the townspeople in the auditorium seemed excited and enthusiastic, and many of them were lying on the fence that divided the venue, scrambling to squeeze forward. Doris was now in the front row, her fists clenched tightly, watching everything on the stage intently.
Glade stood on the roof of a house in the little square, and beside him was a little girl who was the baron's youngest daughter, Jenny.
Glade glanced at her, and the little girl tugged at the corner of her coat and looked down in a daze. He said, "If you want to see it closer, I can take you there." ”
Jenny shook her head repeatedly.
"Why didn't you just get a chance to see him for the last time?" said Glade, "isn't this kind of affection important to a creature like a human?"
"I, I don't know. I'm scared. Jenny hung her head, "I don't want to go there, just take a look here." ”
"Your brother and sister are either dead or have become prisoners, what are your plans?"
Jenny looked at him and didn't speak.
"What I said to Susana that day was not a lie. You do have a great future in the cultivation of my vein of magic. If you are willing to learn from me, I am your teacher. ”
"But I am the daughter of your enemy. ”
"However, you are not our enemy, and the Chinese can tolerate you." This meant that Chen Hansheng told him, and now Glade relayed it to Jenny, "Now tell me if you are willing?"
"I ...... Willing. Jenny saluted, "Teacher." ”
At this time, the crisp sound of an air gun came from the square, and everything had an ending.
