Chapter 59: An Ambush in the Inquisition
Liu Lei's costumed attendance did not bring much of a relaxed atmosphere to the trial, and the whole venue was filled with a solemn and depressing atmosphere, as if too much pollen had melted into the air. The venue for Liu Lei's trial was held in the town hall of the city hall of the city hall of the city of Sil, rather than the usual court courtroom. The reason for the announcement was that there was a live broadcast on the radio, and there were too many people in the republic to observe, so the small courtroom could not accommodate so many people, so it had to be changed to a spacious town hall. The town hall of Port Sil has a long history, as early as the founding of the country, it was a famous theater, in the several wars experienced by the Republic, it was the last line of defense of Port Sil, the town hall still retains the magical defense facilities of the year, and after repairs and completeness, now compared to the magic defense facilities of any building, it is not at all backward.
Today, outside the city hall, the luxurious magic machine-powered carriages stopped, and the characters who walked down on it were all pivotal figures in the entire cornerstone republic, and when Liu Lei mixed in, he saw a lot of gorgeously dressed people, Liu Lei looked at them wearing them one by one, that is called a vulgar, how can this kind of bow tie be matched with such a shirt? Why should this kind of dress wear a brooch? Although Liu Lei is invisible, he can't stop muttering in his mouth to evaluate other people's clothes, in his opinion, these look dignified, The well-dressed guys are just wine bags and rice bags. A minister who happened to hear him and looked around to see why there was nothing, he turned to his assistant and asked, "Did you hear anything?" and his assistant shook his head: "Didn't hear anything, sir." The minister looked around suspiciously, obviously hearing a man's voice and muttering in pieces, why is there no one? Liu Lei's naughty heart rose for a while, he quietly approached the guy and blew a cool breath on his neck, and the guy suddenly jumped up!
The entire town hall was full of people, including the radio broadcasters, there were more than three people, all of them were dignitaries of their own countries, and at the front were the senators of the Senate and those close to them. Liu Lei sat leisurely on his suspect's seat, his eyes swept over the entire city hall from time to time, most of these dignitaries came with their families, and the jewels on these ladies and ladies were really dazzling! Liu Lei shook his head, under the republican system, these officials and gentlemen were so rich, and the country seemed to be about to perish.
The door of the town hall opened one by one, and a person came in, and Liu Ti's eyes were sharp, and he saw at a glance that it was Adom, the new governor of Sir. Liu Lei waved his hand at him enthusiastically, Adom's face changed, and he looked nervously at the elders in the front row, the elders were still talking and laughing, and they didn't seem to see Liu Lei's small movements at all. Adom felt a little relieved, he glared at Liu Lei fiercely, and sat down in a seat in the back row angrily. Liu Lei smiled, it seems that it is true that all the people sitting here are the members of the republic, and even Adom, the head snake, can only sit at the back.
All the viewers have already entered, and as for the personnel of the radio stations that are live broadcasting, they have already been ready last night. At this time, it is the time for the inquisitors to enter. In order to show respect for the law, everyone in the entire courtroom stood up, and Liu Lei was no exception. The inquisitors, who had come in strange clothes, sat down, and then the jury, and everyone stood up to greet them. Liu Lei secretly said to himself that the treatment of these people is really not ordinary, how could I, President Liu, ever stand up to greet someone?
The presiding judge was an old man with a white beard, and Liu Lei had heard Adom say that this was the head of the Supreme Court and the head of the national judges, what is it called, yes, it is called Torreka. It is said that he is still a member of the Senate, and he has a lot of background;
"Bang!" the judge picked up the magic hammer in his hand and struck it, and the audience fell silent. "The court is now open!" the judge solemnly announced, "Please ask the prosecutor to make a statement of the lawsuit!" A person stood up on the seat opposite Liu Lei, Liu Lei did not know, but it was conceivable that the henchmen of those veterans were made. "Hello presiding judge and jurors!" After a hypocritical greeting, he began to tell Liu Lei's "guilt".
"The defendant Liu Lei, the owner of the Shuilan Rhino Carriage Company, paid bribes to two successive officials of Xier City for his own illegal purposes, and the amount was huge. In addition, he is also guilty of contempt of the law and endangering national security!" After the prosecutor finished his statement, the presiding judge, Torreca, glanced at the row of elders below, and then said: "Liu Lei, do you plead guilty to the prosecutor's accusations?" Liu Lei put his hands on the table in front of him: "I refuse to admit all the accusations of this person!"
The audience below was in an uproar, and Torreca raised his magic hammer and struck it several times: "Silence, silence!" "Suspect, you can defend yourself, the sacred laws of the Cornerstone Republic give you this power. The following group of patriarchs nodded and smiled together: Let those who watched the trial through the live broadcast show that our cornerstone republic is very democratic, and human rights are fully demonstrated here! These old men all thought in their hearts, or Torreca worked: at this time, the right to defend Liu Lei was completely for people to see, and at this time, the prosecutor did not show any evidence, but simply stated Liu Lei's crimes, and Liu Lei's defense was completely untargeted, and it would not have much impact on the outcome of the subsequent trial, but it gave people the impression that they were very democratic!
Liu Lei looked at the people in the audience below, and then made a triumphant gesture at the video recorder broadcast live on the TV station, and everyone was furious, and they all pointed out that Liu Lei was contempt of court! Torreca looked at his companions sitting below, and had to bang the magic hammer again.
Liu Lei straightened out his dress and said: "First of all, I said that I bribed officials, but I didn't give money to anyone, I am a businessman, there is no need to give my hard-earned money to others, besides, you say that I paid bribes, where is the evidence? As for the other two crimes: contempt for the law and endangering national security, I am even more inexplicable, I have always taken the maintenance of world peace as my own responsibility, when have I ever endangered the security of the country?" If I flouted the law, I wouldn't be standing here, I think this is best known to Mr. Adolm, the governor of Port Sil!" Liu Lei looked at Adolm who was sitting in the back row, Adolm was furious in his heart, this bastard, how could he carry himself every time! He no longer had time to observe the expressions of the elders, and he was now thinking about how to salvage the crisis of his declining trust index in the minds of the elders.
"I'm done, thank you for giving me this dispensable opportunity!" Liu Lei shrugged. The prosecutor's statement was short, and Liu Lei's defense was also short. But Liu Lei is not a stupid person, he has already seen that this defense has no great effect. In fact, how much significance can this trial be? The presiding judge is a member of the Senate, and half of the jury is a member of the Senate, and half is sitting below. His last sentence vaguely pointed out the conspiracy of the patriarchs, and this appeal is really meaningless.
Presiding Judge Torreca said: "Prosecutor, please present evidence. The prosecutor walked to the center of the courtroom, held a pen in his hand and turned it back and forth, and said: "Your Excellency, I would like to invite the first witness in this case: the former governor of Sir, Meacha, who has been arrested on suspicion of taking bribes!"
Mei Acha walked to the witness stand with shackles and truthfully told the details of Liu Lei's bribery back then. There is nothing in front, what Mei Acha said is the truth, but in the back, when asked why Liu Lei would bribe him, Mei Acha said amazingly: "He wants me to give him a certain amount of convenience in terms of taxes!" Liu Lei's face was gloomy, damn, this bastard, pure nonsense, he didn't ask him for anything at all, just gave him money for nothing, and asked him not to embarrass himself.
Then each witness is called in turn, including the previous general and the current one. During this period, Liu Lei was deprived of the right to defend himself at a critical moment, to be precise, the pressure was not mentioned on the basis that Liu Lei still had such power. The audience and the jury did not react to this, not at all like the "indignant" hot-blooded young man who was "indignant" when Liu Lei made movements to the camera just now. Liu Lei shook his head helplessly. The trial of this one charge came to an end with a blow from the presiding judge. "Now, I will present evidence on the suspect's charges of contempt of the law!" The prosecutor called out his first witness, and Liu Lei was furious when he saw it! It turned out to be the head of the security guard in the night cat city where he went last night! Liu Lei looked at him coldly, and the man glanced at Liu Lei and immediately looked away. Seeing that he was wrapped in bandages, he was obviously palpitating!
The witness who came out immediately turned out to be the boss there! Liu Lei looked at this capricious villain, and his heart felt as if there was a fire burning! After the witness finished his statement, the prosecutor said to the judge: "Everyone has heard that the defendant was released from prison without permission last night and did not return overnight. What is this called unauthorized access? This is called jailbreaking. But he is standing here here today, isn't this a contempt for the law?" Liu Lei looked at the door where the witnesses withdrew from the courtroom, where the two people went out just now, Liu Lei understood that they must have thought that there was a country as their backing, and they must have no way to take them. He shook his head, it seems that these people still don't know that in the world, any possibility exists! Their luck is not good, and they have encountered such a small chance! Liu Lei decided to teach them to realize this himself! But now, it is not the time.
"Next, I will continue to show you the evidence that the defendant endangered national security......" Before he could finish his words, there was a sudden explosion "Boom!" The door of the city hall was blown open, and Quan Yuan and Liu Dao Jue rushed in, and a large number of soldiers were chasing after them shouting. The willow knife refused to turn around and stabbed it, and the weapons in the hands of several soldiers were broken, and the people flew back! Quan Yuan shouted loudly: "Liu Lei, go quickly! All the Kombaka signals have been interfered with, and people can't see everything that is happening here. All the people here are magicians except the patriarchs! they are plotting against you!"
Liu Lei was furious, he looked at the chief judge, Torreca fell with a hammer and smashed into the corner of the table, and the corner of the table disappeared with a "click", followed by a few "booms", the judgment seat and the front row of seats all sank into the ground, and the patriarchs fled! The willow knife refused to turn around a few times, and the blizzard-like knife roared at the door, and all the soldiers who rushed in were swept out! Quan Yuan rushed to Liu Lei and said, "I'm sorry, we just got the news!" As soon as he turned around, the more than three hundred people behind him had already ripped off their dresses, revealing the mage robes inside!"They are all from the Republic Mage Regiment, and each of them is at least the level of a mage!" Quan Yuan lowered his head and whispered to him, "Let's rush out from the ceiling, I placed a magic bomb there, and I will be sure to blow up the magic defense facilities here!" Liu Lei shook his head: "No, we won't go!" "Not leaving?" Quan Yuan was surprised.
Liu Lei slowly walked down from the dock, looked at the Cornerstone Magician Regiment who were on full alert, and suddenly smiled and said: "No wonder I think your taste is so bad, the clothes you wear are like carnivores and must be stripped of a layer of herbivore skin to put on - it turns out that they are all imposters." It's no wonder, I thought that the key members of the cornerstone were really so tasteless!" Liu Lei's figure flashed, and all the magicians were shocked, and for a while, the entire city hall was full of light, and the magic light ball and various rays smashed together on the place where Liu Lei was standing! "Boom"! There was a loud bang, and together with the defendant's dock not far away, turned into ashes!
Liu Lei teleported to the video recorders of several radio stations, and reached out to take out a few boxes of video recording magic disks inside. Shake your hand and throw it to Quan Yuan and Liu Dao Jue: "One person takes a plate, hurry up!" "What should you do?" Liu Dao Jue asked. "I, I want to make the cornerstone government understand that nothing in this world is impossible!"
Liu Dao Jue looked at Quan Yuan and the two of them caught the magic disk together, turned around and ran out, all the magicians didn't understand what was going on, but some of them still sent out blocking magic to them for the sake of safety! Liu Dao Jue and Quan Yuan laughed in unison, but their laughter was quickly muffled by the sound of explosions, and a large number of stones fell above their heads, Liu Dao Jue and Quan Yuan suddenly changed direction, and all the magic that attacked them failed, and the two of them got up and were already outside the roof.
The magicians looked at each other, but the most important person, Liu Lei, was still there, and he finally had an explanation for it. Liu Lei looked at these magicians and asked, "Who is the leader?" A middle-aged magician stood up: "I am the head of the group, Babu." "Why ambush me?" Liu Lei said to him without a match, but the person slowly walked towards a corner. "On orders. Babu looked at him and said, "You're the first of all of us to go out for one person!" "I should be honored! I'm right, well, Lord Governor!" Adom sighed and said, "What's the use of you pulling me out? I'm not a hostage of enough!" Liu Lei shook his head: "I don't want to take you hostage, who can stop me if I want to leave here!" "I just want to kill you!" "Save me, don't hurt me!" Liu Lei looked at Babu and said, "Please wait a minute!" Babu nodded and agreed as if he had been magically stricken!
"Your masters have all run away, and you have seen it, they sincerely want to kill you, otherwise why would they arrange you at the back and not let you escape with them!" "This is not thanks to you!" Adolm said: "You made them doubt me!" Liu Lei shook his head: "No, I didn't make any moves to make them doubt you before entering this city hall, but your seat here has been set a long time ago, right?" Adolm sighed: "You're right, what do you want?" Liu Lei lifted his neck: "Let's go, come with me!"
Babu woke up like a dream and blocked Liu Lei. Liu Lei looked at him and said, "Sir, the Senate is about to fall, why do you want to bury them!" Babu shook his head: "I can't let you go!" Liu Lei reluctantly put Adom behind him temporarily, and he stretched out his hand towards Babu: "Please!"
Babu retreated into the group of mages, a loud chanting sounded, and then all the magicians chanted together, the entire town hall was like a choir training ground, the mages pious prayers and chanting filled every air molecule here, the pious atmosphere existed here as if it were a real thing, and it deeply shook Liu Lei's heart. Babu was like a lead singer, because of his presence, the whole magic group became a whole. As they continued to raise the scale, there was a fluctuation of steady frequency in the air, and all of a sudden, all the air was moving with this fluctuation! Gradually, the fluctuating air was divided into two camps, one side up, the other side down, a black crack formed in the air, and a huge claw stretched out from it! Sen's white claws were the size of half of Liu Lei's body, and a terrifying energy flow flowed throughout the city hall!
In another part of the city, the magicians of the so-called Space Research Institute led by Ren Carlo were still working hard, and Liu Lei's affairs did not affect them. The moment the magic was formed, Ren Carlo shouted, "This is the time! Quick! There is a super large summoning magic, a good opportunity for us to study!"
