Chapter 148: Heartbreaking
July 17th. ~Dream Novel,
The construction of the Law Court and the Garrison Department was completed three days ago, and today is the official opening day.
Alan came to the law court early in the morning to see if anyone would come to the law court to appeal on the first day.
It's a pity that Allen waited in the law court for a whole morning, and no one came in, but there were a lot of onlookers gathered at the gate of the law court, obviously all watching the excitement.
Alan shook his head helplessly, it seems that everyone is not very comfortable with the existence of the law court, I believe that it will get better in the future, but I don't know what the situation of the law court in other towns is.
Kaslan Town.
Different from the situation in Huaxia Town, in the early morning, as soon as the door of the Caslan Town Law Court was opened, an old man who looked to be sixty or seventy years old walked in tremblingly.
The two court guards who were guarding the door immediately greeted them.
"What's the matter, old man?" asked one of the guards.
"This knight," the old man waved the "New Law of Huaxia" in his hand, "may I ask the law recorded in this new law, but is it true?"
"Of course it's true," the guard said, "This is made and issued by Lord Lord and Lord Arthur themselves, and all laws in the realm will be enforced according to the new law in the future." β
"That's good, that's good, Lord Lord will definitely not lie. β
The old man said, obviously trusting Eren extremely much.
"Knight, I have a grievance, I beg you to save my poor granddaughter, and I beg you to avenge my poor family!" said the old man with tears in his eyes.
"Don't worry, old man," one of the guards said hurriedly when he saw the old man crying, "You can tell our lord if you have any grievances, and if our situation is true, our lord will definitely avenge you." β
As he spoke, two guards supported the old man and walked towards the court.
The Court is divided into three divisions, the Legislative Division, the Trial Division, and the Investigation Division. There was an appeal. Both appeals and trials are the responsibility of the Trial Division.
The legal court was newly built, and the composition of the staff inside was not complicated. For example, in the Judicial Division, there is only one director, one assistant to the director, and more than a dozen guards.
Responsibilities of the Assistant to the Director. It is to help the director manage all kinds of materials.
The guards led the old man to the office of the Judicial Division, where the director and the director's assistants were sitting.
"Old man, please be seated. β
After the old man walked to the director's desk, the director stood up and said, which showed that the director was a person who respected the old man very much.
The director's name was Tris, and he was also a former civilian. After passing the preliminary examination during the imperial examination and becoming one of the reserve officials, Arthur was selected this time to come to the Caslan Town Law Court to serve as the president, and also served as the director of the trial department.
"Thank you, sir!"
The old man thanked him repeatedly, and sat down with the help of the guards.
"May I ask the old man what he wants to appeal, and who?"
Once the old man had sat down, Tris asked.
"I'm going to sue the Alcott family, I'm going to sue the third young master of the Alcott family, Levay Alcott!"
The old man said excitedly.
Hearing the name of the Alcott family, Tris's heart sank. In the town of Kaslan. The Alcott family is definitely a behemoth, and when it comes to the case of the Alcott family, it will not be easy to handle.
"Old man, I don't know what Levay did, you want to appeal?"
The old man slowly spoke and told his story, and the old man burst into tears in the process of telling.
It's a very clichΓ© story.
The old man had a beautiful granddaughter who was taken by the third young master of the Alcott family, Levai, on the street and snatched away. When the old man's son learned of this, he went to the Alcott family's manor to ask for someone. was beaten by the guards of the Alcott family and lost his life directly!
That's not all, the third young master of the Alcott family, Levi, heard that the old man's son dared to come to the door to ask for someone, and in a fit of anger, he came to the old man's house with the guards. The wife, daughter-in-law and grandson of the old man who stayed at home were beaten to death at home!
What's even more outrageous is that when Levai knocked on the door, he also took the old man's granddaughter with him, and while playing with the old man's granddaughter in the courtyard, he let the three of them die in the courtyard!
It's crazy!
If it weren't for the old man, he happened to have something to do. Maybe it's been a long time since I've been dead.
And this happened the day after the release of the new law of Huaxia Ling!
"The New Law of China" clearly states that those who maliciously kill will pay for their lives, and those who commit adultery with women will die!
Levi actually did this kind of thing the day after the new law was released, and it can be said that he regarded the new law as if it were nothing.
If it were in other territories, the old man would probably have to swallow his anger and live in the shadows forever. After all, with the privileges of the nobility, killing a few commoners is simply not a problem. However, the release of the new law made the old man see the hope of revenge.
No matter how strong the Alcott family is, can it still be stronger than the Lord's Mansion?
After listening to the old man's story, the people in the room were furious! Livai's actions can only be described as inhumane.
However, I have to admit that because of the privileges given to the nobles by the laws of the kingdom, there are not a few nobles who are so unscrupulous in the kingdom, especially a big family like the Alcott family.
"It just doesn't make sense!"
Director Triss slapped the table and said angrily.
"Tell the Investigation Department to immediately investigate the matter! If the situation is true, immediately notify the Garrison Department to arrest Livai!"
The new law stipulates that every appeal case must be investigated by the Investigation Department before it can be filed, and the plaintiff's word cannot be taken seriously.
"Old man, don't worry, our law court will investigate this matter immediately, if the situation is true, our law court will definitely give you an explanation!"
"Thank you, sir," the old man said gratefully.
The Investigation Division was extremely efficient, and it took less than an hour to find out that the situation was indeed as the old man said, and it was not a bad thing.
The investigation was carried out so quickly mainly because Livai acted too brazenly and did not cover it up.
After receiving confirmation from the Investigation Division, Tris picked up a pen and paper on the table and signed an arrest warrant: "Give this arrest warrant to the Garrison and let them arrest people immediately!"
After the guards left with the arrest warrant, Triss showed a solemnity on his face, the Alcott family was not something he could easily provoke, and now he could only hope that the Alcott family would obediently hand over the people because of the authority of the lord.
After the chief of the garrison got the arrest warrant, he took more than a dozen guards with a bitter face and rushed towards the Orcott family's estate.
In fact, in the heart of the chief of the garrison, there are a thousand and ten thousand people who are unwilling to go to the Orcott family to arrest people. However, the arrest warrant of the legal court has already been passed to him, and if he refuses to arrest people and let the lord know, I am afraid that he, the chief of the garrison who has just been in office for a day, will be handed over.
In his heart, he thought the same as Tris, and could only hope that the Alcott family would take the initiative to hand over the lord's authority in fear of the lord's authority. (To be continued.) )
