Chapter 163: Edict!
The original location of the Kingdom Nobles' Joint Review Group had been destroyed by most of it when the Demon God Machine appeared.
However, the Joint Review Council of the Nobles of the Kingdom is the only body with the right to judge the five nobles, and it has more than one meeting place.
Not far from the place where Zhao Feng was originally reviewed, the review was held again. Even though it was proved that Duke Toveen was a heretic, the Earl of Byrne's complaint against Zhao Feng was not dropped. The deliberations had to be done again, in order to preserve the rights of the nobles, as well as the established laws of the kingdom and the order established by the gods.
This time, Zhao Feng did not resist, and honestly stood on the judgment seat.
"In view of the interference of heresy, Count Zhao Feng's last trial did not receive a fair trial. The powers and responsibilities of the Speaker shall be temporarily assumed by our three Deputy Chairmen. I now declare that the trial will take place again from now on. Witness number one is in court!" said the Duke of Miles.
Among the three deputy speakers, Duke Myers is the first deputy speaker, and he is also the one who succeeds Toveen in trying Zhao Feng.
"Zhao Feng, please swear in the name of the gods that everything you say in this council is true!" said Duke Myers.
"The gods are above, I, Zhao Feng, swear that I am above this council today, and everything I say is true!" Zhao Feng said lightly.
"Zhao Feng, is it true that the Earl of Bourne accused you of killing his son Omar on the 28th of July for no reason?" said Duke Toveen.
"Yes! I did have my men kill his son Omar on the 28th of July for no reason. Zhao Feng said.
"Why did you do that?" said Duke Miles.
"Because his son Omar not only spoke disrespectfully at my wedding, but also took the initiative to provoke me and insult me. After that, they launched an attack on me. And he stirred up the vindictive, and I had reason to think that he wanted to kill me. According to imperial law, anyone who attempted to assassinate a nobleman had the right to act in self-defense to protect his person and property. I was just doing just self-defense. Many people are able to testify to me. Zhao Feng said lightly, when he killed Omar, he had already thought of an excuse.
After urging the fighting spirit, a warrior's strength will become very terrifying, and he will take the initiative to attack people, which cannot be treated as a joke. To do something like this on top of someone else's wedding. Although Zhao Feng's reaction was a little too radical, those nobles also understood.
"The first witness, Poway, is in court!" said the Duke of Miles.
Poway stepped out of the side again and entered the witness stand.
"Beauway, swear in the name of the gods that everything you say is true!" said the Duke of Miles.
"The gods are above, I, Bowe, swear that everything I say is the truth in this council!" Bowei said with some trepidation, he already knew that Duke Tovien was a heretic, and he knew that Zhao Feng had a large number of secret documents in his hands, and there might be a secret document of communication between their family and Duke Tovienne. If Zhao Feng threw out the secret document, their entire family would die without a place to be buried.
"Bowe, July 28th, what the hell happened. You elaborate. Duke Miles did not directly insist that Zhao Feng kill like Duke Toveen, but asked very objectively.
"At that time, on the wedding of Count Zhao Feng. Omar first insulted Count Zhao Feng and provoked him. After that, he even urged the fighting spirit to try to kill Count Zhao Feng. Only then was his subordinates ordered by Count Zhao Feng to be caught and killed!" Bo Wei's words changed and said in Zhao Feng's favorable direction.
"You didn't say that last time you testified, are you lying?" said Duke Myers.
"Lord Duke, the last time I testified, I was persecuted by Tovien's damn heresy to conceal some of the key facts. I'm not lying. Bowei said with some trepidation.
The Duke of Miles did not say anything, but said, "Go down!
Poway walked down, and another witness came to court.
The testimony of this witness at this time was also tilted in Zhao Feng's favor.
One witness after another was summoned, and the facts of the original were truly restored to the nobles present.
"According to Article 273 of the Code of the Kingdom, the nobles acted in self-defence when they were confronted with personal safety and private property was violated. I hereby declare Zhao Feng not guilty! I now proceed to vote on this verdict!" The Duke of Miles said aloud.
The nobles present picked up the pen and paper in front of them and wrote their opinions on them.
"The vote was unanimously 111, with 97 votes in favour and 14 abstentions. More than half agreed. The verdict came into effect. Count Zhao Feng is not guilty!" said Duke Myers.
At this point, no one can use the fact that Zhao Feng killed Omar to make trouble.
"Byrne, Earl of Aylas City, for his own selfishness, fabricated facts, and framed a great nobleman, has triggered the laws of the kingdom. I propose that he be summoned to the joint deliberation of the nobles of the kingdom for trial. The proposal is now to the vote. Duke Myers said.
The big nobles are not just able to attack casually, and framing a big nobleman is also a big crime. If the Earl of Byrne is convicted of this crime, then his title will not be guaranteed, and the severity of the punishment will be completely in the hands of the joint council of the nobles of that kingdom.
"Originally, it seemed that this was just an old man who had no opinions and only knew how to sleep, but I didn't expect him to hide it so well that even I couldn't look away. Zhao Feng glanced at Duke Miles, but he didn't expect that Duke Miles, who was drowsy and looked old and dizzy, would be so eye-catching. He originally planned to take control of the joint review group of the nobles of the entire kingdom, and use this charge to retaliate by giving Earl Bourne a hard slap to let him know who he could not offend.
This time, the nobles' vote was also very fast, and the results were soon in.
"There were 111 unanimous votes in this ballot, with 90 votes in favour and 21 abstentions. More than half agreed. The proposal passed!" declared the Duke of Miles.
Most of the people in the joint council of the nobles of the kingdom were connected to Tovien, and a few were not related to Tovien, but these people were not in a united group, and most of them were wise enough to protect their lives. Tovien also allowed their presence to show the boil.
"I now declare this review closed. Duke Myers said.
After finishing speaking, some nobles began to leave, but more nobles surrounded Zhao Feng, patting all kinds of sycophants and saying all kinds of good things.
After all, Zhao Feng had a handle in his hand that was enough to burn their entire clan at the stake.
The three vice-chairmen who presided over the deliberations, Duke Miles, left without looking in Zhao Feng's direction after he retired from the court. Duke Mitchell looked at Zhao Feng with his eyes like knives for a while, and then turned to leave.
The third deputy speaker, the Marquis of Lensa, actually squeezed into the crowd with his fat body, looked at Zhao Feng with a flattering expression and said with a smile, "Lord Earl, I am the Marquis of Lenza of the Bell family. I have long heard of your prestige. You built a giant city in fifteen days, then went to war everywhere, wiped out millions of insect swarms, destroyed the worm's spatial passage to our plane, and slain the son of God, and became an earl with great merit. It's remarkable. ”
"Your feats are comparable to those of the legendary heroes of mankind. This time, you've uncovered Toveen's much-hidden heresy. Let the kingdom of Panturo avoid being corrupted and invaded by this heresy, a feat that only a few heroes can match you, even if it is a legend. You're so young, and the future is really bright. The Marquis of Lensar was beside Zhao Feng, regardless of his face, and he bragged and patted his farts explicitly, making the surrounding nobles who also came to pat the farts secretly despised.
Everyone also came to pat themselves, but the rest of the nobles were extremely face-saving, and they were all very tactfully touting, where to be so explicit to the Marquis of Lensa. The performance of the Marquis of Lensar simply disgraced the face of the nobles.
Zhao Feng smiled slightly, dealing with these nobles with great ease, and then gave a faint hint to soothe the panic and anxiety of those nobles, and those nobles left one by one.
"Your Excellency, I'm going to hold a banquet tomorrow night, and I hope you'll be there!" said the Marquis of Renza, even though his title was higher than Zhao Feng's.
"If I hadn't booked that day, I would have gone. Zhao Feng looked at the Marquis of Lenza with a flattering face and said lightly. People can't be disguised, everyone has several sides. The Duke of Miles, who originally seemed to be dying, almost about to enter the ground, and had no spirit at all, was suppressed by Natovien, and showed his ability to be shrewd and capable, and at the same time, his vision was not weak, and he gave Zhao Feng a big gift at once.
This Marquis of Lença is one of the three vice-presidents, and he is at the helm of a large family with a history of five hundred years, and he will definitely not appear so unbearable to him.
After the trial, Zhao Feng rode in a carriage and returned to his mansion.
In a study in the palace, Panturo XI held a document with a gloomy face and roared, "Andre and Rekia have both died in the hands of Zhao Feng, he is so majestic. It's not enough to kill a Sanctuary powerhouse and an archmage. Now he even summoned the Earl of Byrne for this matter. He is more powerful than my king. It's a delusion that you want me to sign this document!"
Andrea, Rekia, and Arnold were all powerful men that Panturo XI spent a great deal of money to woo, and nominally belonged to the Kingdom of Panturo. In fact, it was allegiance to Panturo XI.
This time Tovien made compromises on many fronts at great cost. Panturo XI also wanted to clean up Zhao Feng's unstable factor. Only then did he transfer the three powerhouses to Tovien for temporary use. But he didn't expect that the three powerhouses were actually killed by Zhao Feng. This made Panturo XI, who was already unhappy with Zhao Feng, hate him even more.
It is a natural law that people are easy to get confused when they get old. Countless emperors in history who were extremely wise in their youth will become extremely confused in their old age.
In this magical world, unless it is a god with endless life, or a cultivator who is so strong that he defies the sky. The rest of the ordinary people also have to follow the laws of nature.
Panturo XI is old, and he is not a strong man, the wisdom of his youth is no longer there, and now he is just an old man who is addicted to ** and has a strange temper.
"Your Majesty. Not so. This bill was passed by the joint deliberation group of the nobles of the kingdom. Although you have the right of veto, but in this way, Zhao Feng knows that you are hostile to him. It's not in your interest to go head-to-head with this rising powerhouse. Zhao Feng is not at fault at all now, and he is a human hero again. Even if you punish him, you will be resisted by the nobles. Aoro immediately persuaded.
"Moreover, Andre and Rekia were bewitched by heresy, and Zhao Feng's actions were justified defense and were recognized by the major churches. This incident is not a reason to punish him!"
In the royal family, although there is a lot of hidden power, it is enough to be an enemy of the three Sacred Domain powerhouses. Not to mention that Zhao Feng is not at fault at all now. The royal family dealt with Zhao Feng, and if it failed and was counterattacked by Zhao Feng, I was afraid that this Panturo Kingdom would have to change its master. This kind of stupidity has not happened in history.
"Then let that Zhao Feng be so arrogant and domineering?" said Pan Turo XI with a gloomy face. He's not a brainless person, and he's just too angry.
"Of course not. Your Majesty, haven't you already made up your mind?" said Oro with a slight smile.
"Buck, the son of the gods, I want to see if the son of the gods is powerful, or if Zhao Feng is powerful!" a grim smile appeared on Panturo XI's face.
"Your Majesty Shengming!" said Oro.
"Just make you proud again!" said Panturo XI, picking up the edict requesting the summons of the Earl of Bourne, glanced at it, smiled coldly, and signed his name on it.
The Earl of Bourne's family has great power, and everything that happened to the council was delivered to the Earl of Bourne by a magical letter on the same day.
Looking at the contents of the magic letter, Count Bourne seemed to have aged a lot.
"Father, what did the letter say?Zhao Feng has been punished by the law?" Osborne on the side hurriedly asked, if Zhao Feng was sanctioned, then he could also get the beautiful girl Alice with a perfect temperament.
"Duke Toveen was proven by Zhao Feng to be a heretic. The whole clan is already wanted, and soon their clan will be burned at the stake. The joint deliberation group of the kingdom nobles showed their intention to favor Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng has been acquitted of killing Omar! Moreover, the joint review panel of the nobles of the kingdom has decided to summon me to the royal capital for trial on the crime of framing the great nobles. Earl Byrne said lightly.
"How can this be? Even if Zhao Feng was found not guilty of killing Omar. How could they summon you to the royal capital for trial for the crime of framing a great nobleman? You are also a great nobleman, and there is no conclusive evidence to prove that you have framed Zhao Feng. How could the joint council of the nobles of the kingdom make such a decision?" Eunice's beautiful eyes were full of incredulity.
"I'm afraid that this kingdom's aristocratic joint review group has fallen into Zhao Feng's grasp. Since he was in his hands and wanted to use it against me, it was only natural. The evidence is insufficient, and they are also able to concoct evidence. Just as the Duke of Toveen had done. Zhao Feng made a ruthless move, and His Royal Highness Andre and Archmage Rekia all died in his hands. This time, he was afraid that he would not let our family go. Our Sisi family is in danger!" said the Earl of Bourne, very gravely.
