Chapter 108: The Trial
A touch of sunshine in the early morning, swaying on the streets of the aristocratic district of Xianzhi City, Jiang Nan used his lame riding skills to ride a dusty white horse on the golden sand-paved road.
Not far in front of you, is the towering Gothic palace of the Reims Empire, and opposite the palace, there is a castle that is more than 20 meters higher than the power core of the Reims Empire, and the shadow covers the vicissitudes of the entire palace, and there is a plaque hanging on the gate of the castle, there is no ostentatious gold and jade characters, and there is no arrogant position that says 'the first in a thousand years', and there are only three understated names on the plaque - Meng Ge, Benjamin, and Reisden!
The three great heroes in the history of the Rhine family!
"Is this the headquarters of the first Millennium Totem?"
Jiang Nan humbly lowered his head and looked up at this ancient castle with countless heroic monuments from the bottom up, but he did not dismount, and whispered to Jiji beside him: "Go in, be smart, understand?"
Today is the wedding of Young Master Ribes, and Jiangnan is honored to attend the wedding as a close confidant of Jiji's housekeeper.
However, what is depressing is that Jiang Nan has to attend the trial of the 'Wolf King' case later, and he can only send Jiji to the gate, and the rest of the things are ...... I hope that before the end of the trial, Gigi will not cause any mess that cannot be cleaned up!
The secret of Iron Roar has not yet been found out, and Jiang Nan's performance today is honest, and he has no bottom in his heart. But now, he can only go up hard.
"Oh, master, don't worry, your dear little Jiji will definitely hold on until you return from winning the lawsuit!"
Jiji's housekeeper threw a wink at Jiangnan, this move full of mature femininity, the cold Jiangnan almost fell off the white horse!
"Haha, Gigi, my old friend, you're finally here!" Ribbes greeted him from the gate of the castle, he was wearing a red aristocratic dress, and looked at Jiang Nan strangely, slightly stunned.
Jiang Nan was also stunned.
People rely on gold clothes, and the two of them have already discovered when they met for the first time, their appearance is five or six points similar, and at this time, Jiang Nan wore a noble dress, silver hair tied back his head, and a gold sword hanging from his waist, standing in front of Ribes, the similarity of the appearance of these two people has reached a terrifying ** point!
I'm afraid that people who have only seen two or three sides will not be able to tell the difference between them, except for their closest relatives!
"Interesting!"
Young Master Ribes gave Jiang Nan an interesting comment, and then pulled Ji Ji into the castle and whispered, "The duel between you and Yin Lao is scheduled for ten o'clock in the morning! For my marriage, Ji Ji, even if you work hard, you must win the duel for me!"
"Don't worry, what about the dear young master Ribes......"
Listening to the voices of the two, Jiang Nan entered the castle through the side gate, gave a congratulatory gift, and then slipped out of the castle under the pretext of going to the toilet and changed into the professor's costume!
The human skin mask, Zack's changed white bone armor, and the fat old man's modified holy light technique, Jiang Nan prepared all of this, and then came to the door of the Supreme Court of the Empire.
"Professor, why are you here!?"
Veran is waiting here, today the big people of the Rhine family are going to attend the wedding, and only Veran can help Jiangnan on the spot, she shouted angrily: "Do you know that the trial began ten minutes ago, the governor of the Sumor family, Mrs. Thatcher personally appeared in court to support the wolf king! Damn, have you listened to what the old lady said, it is Mrs. Thatcher, the tenth on the pan-continental totem spectrum, and the top ten totem powerhouses in the world are here!"
After a pause, "If you come a few minutes late, the Supreme Court will probably have to try in absentia, and then you will be held accountable for flouting the laws of the Empire!"
Jiang Nan walked into the Supreme Court, and as he passed by Veran, he said, "Well, I see. ”
"You!" Wei Lan looked at Jiangnan's back in surprise, "Professor, aren't you in a hurry at all?"
"Is it necessary for me to be anxious about something that already knows the outcome?"
...... The trial was held in the first hall of the Supreme Court, and when Jiang Nan pushed the door open, he happened to hear Tariq's impassioned court statement, "Your Excellency Judge, I only make the final argument on behalf of the professor, Sophies accused the professor of killing Victor, but he could only use his sense of smell as evidence! In the imperial law, in order to prevent the plaintiff from framing the defendant, the subjective feelings of the plaintiff cannot be used as evidence! On the contrary, the professor can provide 392 witnesses to prove that Victor is only missing ......"
"Oh no, it's time for the final closing argument!"
Wei Lan glared at Jiang Nan viciously, and then she pushed Jiang Nan into the court scene, and said in a loud voice: "Your Excellency, the professor has asked to appear in court!"
"The professor is here?"
Tariq, who was helping Jiangnan in the lawsuit, had his eyes lit up, and his rabbit-like red eyes immediately stared at Jiangnan, refusing to part for a moment.
But Jiang Nan didn't pay attention to Tariq, and he didn't even look at the judge and jurors, his eyes were completely focused on the judge's side, the old woman with a kind face like the grandmother next door!
The old woman also glanced at Jiang Nan, and a trace of imperceptible contempt flashed in her eyes.
Margaret Thatcher!
"Professor, this is the Supreme Court of the Empire, please take off your mask immediately, say your real name, and face the solemn law with your true face!"
The judge said coldly.
Jiang Nan nodded, took off his mask, and revealed the face of an extremely ordinary young man who disappointed everyone. "Your Excellency Judge, you can call me Murphy. ”
The judge added, "Murphy, because you are late for the trial, you only have five minutes to clarify Sophie's charges to the jurors, please begin!"
"Five minutes......?
Jiang Nan casually sat in the dock and shrugged his shoulders, "I have nothing to say. ”
What the!?
The trial seat was in an uproar, the plaintiff's seat was in an uproar, the auditorium was in an uproar, and even Mrs. Thatcher, a trace of surprise flashed in her cloudy old eyes!
"Professor, please think about it seriously!" Tarik said the truth urgently, "Although you have a relationship with Julian, you are not necessarily weaker than the wolf king supported by the Sumor family, but you don't say a word...... Damn, do you want to make our month and a half of hard work go to waste?"
"Tariq, I must warn you, this is the Supreme Court of the Empire!"
The judge slammed the gavel, "What Julian, the support of the Su magician, the Supreme Court is not a political strangulation ground, let alone Vanity Fair, whether the professor is guilty or not depends on the law's ruling on him, not which side is more powerful! If you say this insult to the court again, you will be permanently expelled from the Supreme Court!"
"Honorable lord, please forgive me for my sins!"
Tariq bowed his head.
But after the judge scolded righteously, he glanced at the two notes on the table that only he could see.
The first note was sent by Margaret Thatcher, which read, "Your Excellency, please do not care about my existence, the law is sacred, and you are wise, aren't you?"
Yes, the judge was smart enough, so he could see a different meaning from this note: the governor of the Sumore family has come forward in person, and you must convict the professor and then kill the professor, or ...... Be careful about your future career!
Another note was sent by Long Duo's personal guard, which said, "Today is the wedding of Ribes, it is inconvenient for the old man to come forward in person, whether the professor lives or dies, it is up to you to decide!"
Tick!
A drop of cold sweat ran down the judge's forehead and smashed on the note, and he wanted to split himself in half, half of which acquitted the professor, and half sentenced the professor to death!
But...... Sumore, Reinhardt, neither of these two can afford to offend themselves!
"Your Excellency, since the professor has no more to say, the trial is over, and now is the time for you and the jurors to make a final decision!"
A voice suddenly sounded, and it turned out to be an old rival who was waiting at Margaret Thatcher's side...... Sauron!
"Okay, okay, now I adjourn the trial, and in five minutes, the jury will give the final verdict on the case!"
With that, the judge called the jurors, came to the lounge at the back of the courtroom, and as soon as the door closed, he couldn't wait to say loudly: "Everyone, everyone, I don't care what position you stand and which political faction you represent, now, we must discuss a solution, whether to kill the professor or release the professor!?"
The jurors looked at each other and covered their foreheads in pain, "You ask me, I ask who is going to kill the professor, the Reinhardt family will have to kill us tomorrow, let the professor go, and the Sumore family will destroy our whole family tonight...... Oh my God, how did I get involved in such a case?"
The other said: "Your Majesty, didn't your Majesty give instructions? I heard that the professor and Julian have a close relationship, and His Majesty is inclined to let the professor go and curry favor with Julian!"
"That's right, five minutes ago, His Majesty had this idea, but now ......"
The judge suddenly sighed, "Zhanya, declared war on the Empire!"
"War!?"
The jurors stood up one after another, looking nervous, and said one by one: "When the war breaks out, the reconnaissance ability of the Rainey Mountain Wolf Clan must contribute to the country, is it ...... Your Majesty?"
The judge sighed: "Yes, Your Majesty is hesitating, he is now inclined to kill the professor, and then let the wolf clan of Mount Rainey go to the battlefield to fight hard, but the pressure of the name Julian is too great, Your Majesty, Your Majesty finally can't make up his mind, kicks the ball to us, let us make a final decision!"
"Your Majesty is so irresponsible?" the jurors were about to cry, "we are just small jurors, and it is our responsibility to decide the fate of the Empire...... Can we afford it?"
The judge was already covering his face and crying, "I don't want to take on such a responsibility, but Your Majesty...... His Majesty is so irresponsible, he has given the final decision to us fragile lambs!"
Alas!
The sighs in the lounge were continuous, and a layer of death was enveloped in it.
But at this moment, a court official hurriedly came running with joy, "Your Excellency, good news! Good news!"
The judge stood up suddenly, "Did His Majesty make up his mind personally? Did he kill the professor or let the professor go?"
"No, Your Majesty still hasn't made up your mind......"
The judge sat down in a daze.
"But when Archimed's division learned of the situation, he had already sent down his message!"
The judge suddenly got up, "Say it quickly!"
"The national teacher said that although Julian is strong, but the imperial war is imminent, life and death are in a thought, and there is no delay, immediately kill the professor, in exchange for Rainey Mountain to send troops to assist the empire in the war!"
"Obey the Divine Decree of the National Teacher!"
The judge laughed, as if he had unloaded a package, and ordered: "Order the firing squad to lay an ambush outside Hall 1, and once the jurors and I convict the professor, we will rush in and kill the professor without regard to the law and procedures!"
