Chapter 108: Judgment Result: Guilty!
Inside the Colosseum,
A trial is underway.
The process of the trial is actually very simple, no witnesses are needed, and there is not much evidence required.
Before the trial began, everyone had seen these things, and the justices had already reached a conclusion in their minds, just to go through the motions.
Al found a place to sit, and she had planned to let Awu sit too, but she felt that something was wrong.
Bringing in a slave is already the limit.
Awu was also very sensible and stood aside silently.
Al whispered, not only to comfort Awu, but also to comfort himself,
"I've heard from the people of the Greedy Palace that Justice Goodred likes Mr. Lutdon very much, and that he will give a fair verdict."
Before Al could finish speaking, Judge Gruide, who was half-lying, didn't even remove the black cloth on his face, and said directly,
"Guilty."
Al:......
Awu's face turned strange.
Al took two deep breaths and said,
"Don't panic, I asked beforehand, a justice found guilty and will only deprive all property..."
The corners of Awu's mouth twitched, not knowing what to say.
Depriving Luden of all his property?
Then you might as well kill Luden!
Al continued,
"Justice Envy entertained Mr. Ludon at no cost, she..."
Before Al could finish speaking, the veiled Justice Envy took a step forward and said slowly,
"Guilty."
Al, Awu: ......
Two justices found guilty!
"In this case, you will be deprived of the citizenship of the Divine State and reduced to slavery, no... Mr. Lutten has to marry my grandmother..."
Al was already a little panicked and began to look for a chance for Ludon.
"It doesn't matter, as long as no third justice finds guilty..."
This time, Al is interrupted by Awu.
Awu said seriously,
"Miss Al, let's watch quietly."
He was a little scared of Miss El's mouth.
Al had no choice but to swallow back the words that had come to his lips.
The Inquisition worked with Luton several times, and Justice Prod even lent Lutten a room full of books.
It stands to reason that Justice Prood must have supported Luden!
Justice Prood, who was standing in the center, nodded slightly and spit out two words,
"Guilty."
In the audience, the members of the Holy Descent family were agitated.
Three justices found guilty.
This is the end of this trial.
There is no need for more justices to convict the guilty.
These three charges can already give the most serious results.
Why did such a formal trial, such an important event, end so hastily?
The three justices repeated their rulings in turn.
"Greedy, guilty."
"Jealous, guilty."
"Arrogance... Guilty. ”
Justice Prod picked up the gavel and struck it three times.
Al clenched his fists, his knuckles white, and gritted his teeth.
Mr. Ludon has one last chance of life!
As long as the scholars believe that Luton is not guilty, then everything previously declared by the Lord Chancellor will be null and void!
Ludon's relationship with the university scholars is really good.
Ludon is the best hanged man in 800 years!
University Scholars... I'll save him! …
Under everyone's gaze, Justice Prod opened the envelope and read the two words on it,
"Guilty!"
When he heard these two words, Al's face was extremely pale and a little trance-like, and he felt that the world was spinning and the world was about to be turned upside down.
The man... How could he possibly lose?!
The university judges the guilty, and the justices find guilty.
The die is cast!
The winner is decided!
Vader had a smile on his face even more, like a triumphant general, raising his arms and declaring his victory.
Of course he knew that he would win if he stood here, but he didn't think that he would win so easily!
It's like a dream.
In fact, if it weren't for Ryan's madness, Ryan would be standing here today.
Vader wants to thank Ludon for giving himself a chance to defeat the Hanged Man, Vader can blow for the rest of his life!
With this glory, Vader could easily rise to a high position.
In the future, there will be a place for him in the Senate.
If you think about it, it's quite pitiful.
Ryan's, is Vader's end.
It can only be said that there are differences between the saints.
Opposite Vader, Luton had a light smile, which used to represent a calm and confident smile, but now it is like a clown's mask, the last bit of dignity fig leaf.
The more Ludon pretended to be calm, the more pitiful he became, in Vader's eyes.
A person who loses is like a madman in anger no matter what he does.
In the stands, after taking a few deep breaths, Al also had a light smile on his face, a little like a god.
Ah Wu was a little anxious, and asked in a low voice, "Miss El... Nothing will happen, right? ”
Having been convicted by the justices, it is hard to imagine that Mr. Ludon has any room for a turnaround.
Al whispered,
"This is his stage, just trust him."
In fact, Al was also panicked.
She can only choose to believe!
Miracles always favored this man.
Bang –
As Justice Prood's gavel fell, two members of the Inquisition stepped forward and set up Vader.
The smile on Vader's face gradually froze, and his expression became flustered,
"Is there something wrong? Luden is on the other side, I'm the plaintiff! I am the plaintiff! ”
The disguise of his semblance was discerned little by little, and the fear of the Inquisition hung over his heart, and Vader yelled and struggled frantically to break free.
But these two hands were like iron tongs, clamping him tightly.
Justice Prod opened the contents of the envelope and placed it in front of the bridge of Vader's nose so that he could see the contents clearly.
Vader was in a panic, and after reading it several times, he saw that a few words were written crookedly on this piece of paper:
"The Saints are guilty."
From beginning to end, it was not Ludon who was judged, but the Saint Family who committed the sins of greed, jealousy, and arrogance!
At the adjudication table, Justice Grued sat up, his eyes were deep, and he said quietly,
"It is the sin of greed to compete with the people for profit, to enrich one's belly and lose the world."
Justice Enwei, even if her beauty is hidden under the veil, she is still stunning, and she said coldly,
"It is a crime of envy to falsely accuse Ludon and blackmail civilians to make a university."
Justice Prood, who was holding a gavel, said sharply,
"It is the sin of arrogance to hang the steward and say that the name of the devil is causing trouble to the gods!" …
The gavel fell again, as if striking Vader's soul, causing him to spin and star.
Justice Prod announced the final punishment,
"Deprive Vader Maria of his status as a saint, return all the property under his name to the Divine State, give him three lashes, and banish him to the wasteland, and he will not be allowed to return to the Divine State for the rest of his life, with immediate effect!"
In the audience, there was an exclamation, the young man from the Saint Descent family didn't seem to expect such a result!
The patriarchs, on the other hand, were woken up by exclamations and had not yet figured out the situation.
As soon as Prod's words fell, the people of the Inquisition moved.
They've been waiting for this day for a long time!
Vader's body went limp, as if he had exhausted all his courage and strength, and reality gave him a heavy punch.
He felt that this world was too absurd!
Even if the Holy Descent family is really guilty, these sins are also committed by Lane, you fight Lane!
If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight.
Since Vader dared to jump out and rob Ryan of his credit, then Vader should also bear this crime.
That's fair.
Vader's feet were limp and he couldn't walk at all.
So they lifted him up and dragged him on the ground.
Vader, who came back to his senses, hurriedly began to call for help,
"I am a saint! I am a descendant! You can't do this to me! ”
"Father! Dennis Maria! Save me! Help me! ”
"Elder Aite! Help me! I'm your own son! You said that I should be the yuan..."
“......”
He was like a drowning man, frantically grasping at everything at hand, trying to live.
But everything was like a bubble, dreamily shattered.
After three lashes, whether he can live or not is another matter!
Not to mention, the stripping of the sainthood is simply the end of the world for Vader.
Banishment of the wasteland .... Why not just kill him?
In the end, Vader was warned to shut up or the flogging would be doubled.
His father and father were already fighting in the stands.
I don't think the state of God is messy enough, right?
God knows how many dads Vader has!
Vader's appearance was taken in by Al,
The emotions of the saints and the saints were not in common, and Al did not feel pity for him, and even made some noise.
Ludon had a light smile on his face, without any sense of accomplishment or the aftermath of the catastrophe.
Everything that is happening at the moment is in his calculations, and there are no surprises.
Ponger, dressed in a judge's robe, stood behind Ludon and asked in a low voice.
"You already knew the result?"
"Don't slander me."
Lu Deng's face did not change, and said modestly,
"With my shallow wisdom, it is difficult to guess what the scholars and justices think, and for this fortunate result, I can only say, praise the saints, the holy law is above, and I love the state of God."
Ponger snorted coldly,
"No, no, you're definitely hiding something."
It's never going to be that simple!
Ponger denied Luden's claim and whispered,
"Luden, listen, if you want a true ally, a guy who won't stab you in the back, you have to get your hands dirty, as the ancient Qiyun proverb says!"
In the city of Shenbang, as long as you are not blind, you can see that the alliance between Ludon and Ponge will definitely be reached. …
The question is, how did Ponger trust Luden?
He removed the warriors who had infiltrated the Divine State, he sold 150,000 sacks of grain to Luden, and he went to the Senate as Ludon suggested, and then he was humiliated, insulted the Senate in public, and publicly broke with the Senate.
Even the Yager family began to wonder if Ponger was loyal.
The scholars only cared about the Holy Code, the Justices were all slippery heads who saw the wind and steered the rudder, the Senate was a collection of the essence of human intelligence, and the Holy Family was unlikely to accept Pong.
Aside from working with Ludon, Ponga could not find a second ally within the Divine State.
Anyone can jump off this boat, but Pang Ge can't.
Because behind him the legionnaires are the boats.
The ending of Ponger's jumping ship is no different from suicide.
Ponge had already soiled his hands.
Now, it's Ludon's turn.
Ludon had to get his hands dirty.
It's not enough to act as a hanged person and offend the Twelve Saint Descendants.
Under the gaze of many saints, Ludon smiled lightly and waved his hand, while a line of words squeezed out of his throat and burrowed into Pong's ear.
"I promised the third university scholar that I would save 60,000 civilians, and the cost... Take care of yourself! ”
At this, Luden's expression contorted, as if he had put on a mask of pain.
He can't breathe!
60,000 people, 60,000 people... 60,000 people!
Not six hundred, not six thousand, but sixty thousand!
To feed so many people, how much misso, how much food...
Each of the twelve Saint Descendants families is willing to support an additional 5,000 people, and the twelve families are 60,000 people.
Innocent or not, let's put this matter aside.
In the eyes of a true wise man, people like Ludon talk about their innocence, even if they agree, the noose in Luden's pocket will not agree!
Look at the mess outside the Fortune Exchange, look at the stewards hanging from the old neck tree of the Holy Family, look at the little thumb thrown into the bucket of swill...
The calamity and chaos that Lutdon brought to him would not be enough to kill him a thousand times.
From the perspective of pure dialectic, one innocent person is greater than countless lives.
No innocent person can be sentenced to death, for whatever reason.
But in reality, spherical chickens in a vacuum do not exist.
Ludon knew very well that for the sake of 60,000 people, the university scholars were willing to kill Lu Deng, even if it was to dirty the university scholars' own hands.
Of course, in order to avoid tarnishing the sanctity of the sacred code. The methods they use will be absolutely legal, so that people can't find fault with them.
Like what... Throw out a university scholar?
The scholar would have identified that Luton had bribed the scholar in manipulating the Fortune Contract when he was the hanger.
This is a serious violation of the law, it cannot be tolerated, and it must be put on the gallows!
In this way, Luton is guilty.
Of course, this hapless university scholar is also guilty.
Don't be afraid, he'll accompany Ludon to the gallows.
Two lives for 60,000 lives, one for Lu Deng, and one for university scholars, which is very fair.
The only difference is that Ludon has only one life, and the university has nine...
Where there are people, there is no absolute justice.
What remains constant is the interest.
In the whole trial, the main contradiction is very simple, the university scholars want more civilians to survive! …
Whoever can do this will win!
When Lutten faced the trial of the scholars, the opening words of the scholars had already passed on all the necessary information to Lutden.
The Saint Family has made a price for your life, and it's time for you to make a price.
The Holy Descent family offered its own price: 60,000 civilians.
Ludon also offered his own price: 60,000 civilians, plus an innocent person (Luden), plus an unlucky university scholar.
The price of the two parties is placed on the scale, and it is clear which is more important at a glance.
Two more people on Luden's side!
Even if the university scholars don't care about Luden's life, they will care about the hapless university!
This is also why, although the six scholars did not talk much throughout the trial, they turned to Luden everywhere.
Nonsense, his life also hangs on the gallows!
If you have a choice, who wants to be a pendant?
He's not Luden!
The same is to eat, to eat beautifully, to eat ugly, these two choices, with the wisdom of university scholars, it is not difficult to make the right choice.
So, Ludon won.
Vader is stripped of his saintly family status and banished to the wasteland...
After listening to Ludon's words, Ponger fell silent,
Even if he believed in Ludon's abilities, but... 60,000 lives?
During the orc attack, let 60,000 people survive in the kingdom?
What an exaggeration!
As the commander of the two legions, Ponge knew very well what a terrible expense it was.
Even if you smash all of Ludon's net worth into it, it's not enough!
After a while, Pong said,
"Maybe I should change an ally..."
Ludon sneered,
"Humph! Want to run? ”
As the two spoke, Vader had already tied his hands and feet, ripped off his clothes, and was ready to be executed.
Whipping, three strokes.
Smack-
In the air, the loud sound of whips echoed.
The special cowhide whip was whipped on Vader's back, and his skin was instantly smashed, and blood was splattered everywhere!
Vader's wail could be heard inside and outside the clouds.
This is a slap in Vader's back, this is simply a slap in the face of the Saint Family!
You can see that the Inquisition is really excited.
Even every whip has to be whipped by a different person!
There aren't many opportunities like this!
Smack-
The second whip went down, and in the audience, most of the ladies had already begun to cover their eyes and did not dare to look.
Vader twitched and shook like a fish thrown ashore.
Due to the violent struggle, the ropes that bound his hands and feet were somewhat loose, and the wrists were bloodied, and the people of the Inquisition had to step forward again and re-secure Vader.
The first whip whipped him to death, and the second whip directly whipped him awake!
Smack-
In the third whip, Vader did not continue to scream, it was difficult for him to make any more sounds, and the whole person passed out, and it was difficult for even the top doctors to judge whether he would survive or not.
Along with Vader, there was also the Saint Descent family.
The thirteen elders' faces were pale, and the anger in their eyes seemed to be able to melt the seven justices!
Just yesterday, they humiliated Pong, wanting to make Pongge understand the overall situation and suffer more.
Today, the Holy Family is humiliated in public, and they don't talk about the overall situation, they don't talk about suffering.
People, only when the knife falls on oneself do you know what it means to empathize.
If Luden was a scythe before, he served as an upside-down hangman, responsible for cutting leeks.
Now, Ludon has transformed into a sword and spear, stabbing the heart of the Holy Family!
The smoke of the old war has not yet dissipated, and the clarion call of the new war has been sounded!
The Saints and Luden... Never die!
Only the blood that kept dripping told what had happened before.
The smell of blood began to permeate the Colosseum, as it had been two thousand years ago.
This is the Colosseum, and blood is the best atmosphere set.
The soul of 2,000 years ago seems to be awakened.
Ludon seemed to hear the cheers of countless people, and the glory of the Qiyun Kingdom reappeared before his eyes.
Starting with these three whips...
There is no room for maneuver between Ludon and the Saint Family!
Even Pongge, when he saw this scene, fell into silence and shock, and couldn't extricate himself for a long time.
"As you wish."
The corners of his mouth curled up and he sneered,
"My hands are dirty!"
