24 The Apologists

"First meeting, Judge Chief. Erie greeted the presiding judge first. "I'm Erie, the head of the Greine Chamber of Commerce, and as a survivor of the previous air piracy incident, I've come to clear my name's grievances. ”

“...... Pay attention to the language, son of Grein. The presiding judge frowned. "Your statement is as if the impeachment of Captain Isère was a false accusation. ”

"In fact, this is indeed a false accusation. Erie responded to the presiding judge with the same attitude.

"Yi ...... Erie, you dare to spew blood!" Conrad shouted from there. "Dare to do this kind of thing, beware that tomorrow I will call my uncle ......"

"Silence. Before the Kirin could shoot a murderous aura at Conrad, the voice of the chief of the gendarmerie sounded first. "No noise above the court. Prince Conrad, please be disciplined. ”

Swept by the cold gaze of the chief of the gendarmerie, Conrad was silenced on the spot.

Erie cast a grateful glance at the chief of the gendarmerie, then confirmed to Conrad. "Don't worry, Master Conrad, I've heard what you just said. If I'm not mistaken, the survivors who signed the impeachment were all similarly threatened? Otherwise, they wouldn't have signed the forged evidence. ”

Conrad impeached Noin for two reasons, the first was that Noin and others were late two hours after the air thief attack, and used this as a reason to question the collusion between the "Sky King" and the air thief. As evidence is the impeachment letter that the prime minister sent to force the survivors to sign, and at this moment Yili directly pointed out the fact that the impeachment document was forged and had no evidentiary force.

"Hu ...... There is no such thing!" Conrad retorted, of course, but Erie ignored his opinion and took another copy from his bosom and presented it to the presiding judge.

"What is this?" the presiding judge looked at the chart in his hand in confusion.

"This is the attendance record of the 'Sky King Rider', my lord, it records the time and number of sorties of the empty rider in the last week. Erie explained to the presiding judge.

In fact, the person who provided this information was Rachel, Norin's adjutant.

On the way to the heraldic courtyard, Rachel catches up with her on an empty horse and hands over the compiled materials to Kirin. Rachel also told the Kirin that because Noin had a high reputation among his subordinates, the pilots of the "Sky King" were actually on the verge of rioting after learning that their boss had been framed by the Prime Minister's faction. Although the Wing Commanders are now trying to suppress the anger of their pilots, if the situation continues, I don't know what will happen.

In the worst-case scenario, it is impossible for the "Sky King Rider" to clash with the heraldic courtyard. So Rachel asked Kirin to save Nuo Yin and handed them over the information that should have been kept secret. And now, these materials are in Guò Yili's hand, waving to the fullest.

"From the above records, it can be clearly seen that from the current distress call to the dispatch of the air cavalry troops, the 'Sky King Cavalry' actually only took five minutes, even by the most demanding standards, it can be called a reaction god. In my own experience, from being attacked by air thieves to the arrival of the air cavalry troops, the period is only twenty minutes at most. Yili pointed out coldly. "Therefore, the so-called 'two hours after being attacked by air thieves' is not a matter of fiction. Please think about it, my lord, if the 'Sky King Rider' really gave the empty thief a full two hours to rob, do you think I can still defend my benefactor here now?"

“...... Truly. The presiding judge nodded in agreement. The official document from the military in his possession is more probative than Conrad's letter of impeachment, and Erie's explanation is entirely plausible.

"Erie, you dare to ......" Conrad glared at Erie with a resentful gaze, but did not dare to threaten again.

"You too, Master Conrad. Ely looked back at Conrad. What was surprising was that at this moment, the eyes of this young man Sven were burning with serious anger. "If it wasn't for Captain Baixiang's timely rescue, you would have turned into ashes with the airship, right? We can live now completely because of the blessing of Captain Baixiang, and you used this to frame her, this is called revenge, right? Although I knew that you were intellectually deficient, I didn't expect that even your nature would have reached such a point......

Erie displays a rare poisonous tongue and draws a line with Conrad once and for all. "Master Conrad, I beg your pardon for not being able to be with you in the future. ”

........................

Noin watched the situation in silence, and she didn't say a word as Kirin stormed into the courtroom and Erie presented the evidence to the presiding judge.

On the one hand, because she took into account her own position, the actions of the two of them were enough to be called reckless, and if she talked to her as a guilty person, it would only make their situation more dangerous. On the other hand, she was also a little unable to react to the fierce unfolding in front of her. It stands to reason that Qilin only came to the royal capital the day before yesterday, and he should be more in the position of needing help than helping others, and Nuo Yin also thought that maybe someone would come to help her, but there was absolutely no Qilin's name among those people.

Including the son of a merchant named Yili in front of him, Noyin was also seen for the first time. In fact, yesterday, when I heard Charnot talk about the Kirin being dragged out for a drink by the son of the Greine Chamber of Commerce, Noin was also seriously worried about the possibility that the Kirin would be spoiled by those unscrupulous merchants, and planned to have a chance to inquire about the situation. But now it seems that the incident she feared did not materialize, and it could even be said that it was the other way around. I don't know how Kirin did it, but he actually asked the Greine Chamber of Commerce, which was supposed to be on the side of the prime minister's faction, to change its position.

(Speaking of which, Kirin seems to have mentioned that they met on that airship?) Noin turned his gaze to Erie, who was talking.

The appearance of this merchant's son could easily give the impression of Sven's modesty, but judging from his unflinching attitude towards the presiding judge, he should have undergone hard training that did not match his age, and compared to other merchants who were covered in copper, Nuo Yin felt that the young man in front of him had a rare fresh aura, which was somewhat similar to the unicorn. However, one of these two people is the son of the brave Great Wilderness, and the other is the son of Sven's businessman, regardless of their background and temperament, they are completely different, and they can only be said to have such a commonality, which can only be said to be incredible.

Maybe it's this similarity that makes the two get closer and become friends, right? In any case, it is a good thing that Kirin can make friends who are like-minded to him. Thinking of this, Nuo Yin couldn't help but feel relieved, but when she realized her thoughts at this time, she couldn't help but smile dumbly - until now, she was still the body of the Inquisition, but from the moment Kirin appeared, she seemed to automatically become a sister who was worried about her brother, it was too imprudent.

(But will the prime minister's ploy be punctured so easily......?) Noin looked worriedly at the two men on trial*.

The opponent is the cunning prime minister, with the courage of the two newborn calves, can they really confront the powerful careerists? Noin was so worried, and her worries were not without reason, in order to really disintegrate the influence of the Isère family, Katos had prepared a double insurance. The attendance records and other evidence presented by Erie only made one of them useless, and there was another one that worked.

“...... I know. As you said, there is something questionable about the report that the 'Sky King' was unresponsive during the air thief attack, and it cannot be used as a basis for impeaching Captain Iselé. ”

The presiding judge made such a ruling, and Kirin and Yili couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. But they were not given time to celebrate, followed by another question from the presiding judge.

"However, it is always true that the criminal record of the '* kidnapping' air pirate group was provided by the air force direct army, right? In the impeachment letter of Conrad's son, it is mentioned that there is such a vicious air thief group in the jurisdiction of the 'Sky King', and this fact itself can be regarded as evidence of 'inaction', do you want to deny this statement?"

"This ......" Ealie showed a hesitant expression when questioned by the presiding judge.

If the former charge can still question the reasonableness of its evidence, then the latter charge is basically leaky. The reversal of the original merit as evidence of negligence in his duties, such a reversal of black and white, and the method of pointing the deer as a horse, indeed reflects the extraordinary intrigue of the man who was dubbed the "vulture", and makes it impossible to blame it from the evidence itself. Although Yili has prepared a killer plan for this, he is not confident that it will produce enough results.

Moreover, that killer weapon is also a double-edged sword for him, and throwing it out is equivalent to cutting off his and the Graynes Chamber of Commerce at the same time.

"About this......" Erie put his hand in his arms, clutching something tightly, hesitating to take it out.

“...... You'll have to think about it, Erie. Conrad's cold voice rang out. As if sensing his hesitation, the wicked boy once again showed what he did best.

"Your words and deeds represent the position of the Greine Chamber of Commerce, and it is a felony to frame Young Master Ben?

"Hmm......" A cold sweat appeared on Yili's head, and the hand that reached into his arms was trembling slightly.

As the son of a businessman, he knows better than ordinary people the consequences of doing so, and if it is not good, it is not certain that the Greine Chamber of Commerce will be removed from the business world tomorrow.

"Think about it carefully, Erie, the consequences of doing that, and the words you just insulted Young Master Ben......" Conrad's voice took on a leisurely tone, and he glanced secretly at the chief of the gendarmerie on the side.

For some reason, the chief of the gendarme, who was supposed to stop him, did not say a word at this time, and stood there like a silent stone statue. Mistakenly believing that the other party was also jealous of his uncle's power, Conrad's attitude became more arrogant, and in the quiet courtroom, only the unscrupulous voice of the evil son was heard.

But perhaps he had been overly complacent, completely forgetting that there was one man among those who he could never afford to provoke, and that person might be more threatening in a sense than the chief of the gendarmerie.

"Shut up. ”

An impatient voice rang out. Unassuming volume, but it immediately suppressed Conrad's arrogance.

All eyes were on the owner of the voice.

I saw the man walking unhurriedly to the side of Erie.

He just stood there, and the son of the merchant, who had been hesitant, straightened his back.

On the other hand, the face of a certain evil son turned pale. Conrad looked at the Kirin with a trembling gaze, and subconsciously shrank to the back of his seat.

"It's all the same thing, it's really boring! You don't have any other skills than being domineering?

The Kirin's voice contained a fury as thick as a mountain, and Conrad subconsciously recalled the experience of being pinched by the Kirin by the neck yesterday and going back and forth in front of the Ghost Gate.

If the black youth in front of him is compared to a carnivore from the wilderness, then Conrad is at most a pug raised in a mansion, or even more so. Conrad's teeth fought up and down against the predator who was slowly walking towards him with a furious aura, and his whole body trembled. And seeing Conrad look like a wolf, the unicorn's desire for dissatisfaction turned into irrepressible irritability.

Qilin subconsciously clenched his fists, but considering the occasion at this moment, he still took a deep breath, and finally suppressed the killing intent that surged into his heart.

"That's enough!

With angry and murderous cheers, Conrad's legs went limp, and he fell to his knees on the ground. And the Kirin no longer looked at him, but turned to the presiding judge.

"Presiding Judge, I would like to ask for advice. ”

"Yes...... Yes, please say. Intimidated by the momentum of the unicorn, the presiding judge's tone couldn't help but become respectful.

"For example, if 4,000 men fight 10,000 people, and the former is defeated, do you think it is the responsibility of the commander-in-chief?"

“...... No, of course not. Originally, the former was at a disadvantage in terms of troops, and it was a matter of course to lose the battle. The presiding judge replied with some confusion.

"Good. Kirin nodded in affirmation of the presiding judge's opinion, and said something he had heard from Rachel. "Then, there are only forty empty horsemen under the command of the 'Sky King Rider', and there are more than a hundred air thieves in its jurisdiction. Do you think Noin can be impeached on such grounds?"

"Well, this ......," the presiding judge was momentarily speechless.

"Moreover, whether Noyin lost the battle or not, let's see this first. Kirin turned to look at his companion and waved. "Erie, get that thing out. ”

"You really don't give people a chance to think about it......" Erie smiled wryly as she took a scroll from her bosom and presented it to the presiding judge.

“...... What is this?" the presiding judge unfolded the parchment scroll, and saw that the long scroll was full of names.

"That's the case, my lord. Yili bowed to the presiding judge and explained, "It is a joint statement from all the merchants of the Second Avenue, which clearly states the time and number of times that the major chambers of commerce, including the Greine Chamber of Commerce, were rescued by the 'Sky King Rider', as well as the signatures of the chamber presidents. Due to the limited time, I can only collect this little bit, but I think it should be enough for reference, right?"

The scroll was covered with dense words, and the length of the spread on the table was more than two meters, and the presiding judge could only nod his head in a daze for this extremely deterrent evidence.

"Uh, I think, that's enough......"
