Chapter 632: Octavas' Accusation
readx;
The female archer shouted hoarsely, as if His Highness Octavios would soon appear to save her from fire and water, but when she saw Han Fei's cold eyes, she suddenly remembered Han Fei's warning just now, and immediately shuddered and closed her mouth. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Is that really the case?" Han Fei said coldly, "I won't kill you, maybe it would be a better idea to sell you, you will definitely not die, because the person who bought you will feed you carefully, teach you to be obedient with a whip, and train you to be the most obedient slave girl for fun..."
Han Fei's words were like a water-soaked cowhide whip slamming the female archer's body, and she involuntarily curled up and shivered, tears streaming uncontrollably from her eyes.
"Don't hurt her..."Maca said suddenly, "She's actually just a child, Marquis Han Fei, if you need money, I can give you all my savings..."
She looked at Han Fei, her eyes were full of pleading, but this time she didn't use any charm secret techniques, it was purely an expression of her inner feelings.
"Let's find a way to save yourself first..."Han Fei snorted coldly, turned around and left the room: "Lao Wei, take a good look at them, whoever dares to make a move, don't hesitate to kill!"
"Yes, my master!" replied Old Wei with a bow.
As a high-level dark mage with bloodlines, he doesn't need to sleep like a lich, and he guards Tulip Castle all day long.
After leaving the two captives in the custody of Lao Wei, Han Fei quietly returned to the bedroom of the villa, where Han Wei'er and Han Xin'er were still asleep, unaware of what was happening outside.
Looking at the touching scene of the two girls sleeping peacefully, a trace of tenderness surged in Han Fei's heart, and the original trace of killing intent dissipated a lot.
The two captives imprisoned in the underground vault are undoubtedly a nuisance, and it is not a crime to kill them if they are really killed, and it is not appropriate in the current context of the Empire's reconciliation with the Heavenly Spirit Clan, if it is just let go, it will be too cheap for these two people.
After thinking about it carefully, Han Fei still decided to wait and see what happened, Octavos would definitely not be indifferent to the loss of a right-hand man and Maca, the receiver, so when the time came, it would be necessary to ask this highness to cut a piece of flesh out!
Thinking of this, the corners of Han Fei's mouth curled slightly, and he pulled out a rather evil smile.
He took off his robe and got back into the warm futon, hugged an infinitely beautiful delicate body, and exhaled a long sigh of comfort.
In the depths of the night, when Han Fei was falling asleep, in the Yanjing Royal Post House, His Royal Highness a certain prince was waiting impatiently.
......... Octavas's side reacted faster than Han Fei had expected, and the next morning, he had just had breakfast with his four wives when a royal knight hurried to the Lord's Mansion.
"Marquis Han Fei, Your Majesty asks you to immediately go to the Noble Arbitration Court for a hearing, and His Royal Highness Octavos of the Heavenly Spirit Clan has filed a complaint with the Court of Arbitration, accusing you of illegally kidnapping one of his archer female guards named Nia!"
Han Fei couldn't help but laugh, while Han Bixuan and the others, who didn't know why, were confused: "Husband, what's wrong? How could you kidnap some of His Highness Octavas' guards?"
The Court of Aristocratic Arbitration is one of the most important institutions of power in the Empire, it is equivalent to the Court of Nobles, responsible for judicing, arbitrating, and enforcing legal disputes between nobles, and also represents the supreme authority of the Empire. The Court of Arbitration has an arbitration panel composed of 12 arbitrators and an arbitration knighthood, the arbitration team includes members of the royal family and a group of well-known nobles, once a nobleman files a complaint and meets the regulations, the Court of Arbitration will organize the plaintiff and the defendant to first hear and mediate, if the mediation fails, then open arbitration.
The Noble Arbitration Court also accepts the accusations of the nobles by the commoners, and its existence has eased the contradictions between the nobles and the nobles, the nobles and the commoners to a certain extent, although many families take strength as the first choice to solve the problem, but in many cases and many ways, they also have to rely on the Noble Arbitration Court to resolve disputes, so as to avoid unnecessary conflicts and troubles, and reduce the internal friction between the various forces of the empire.
Octavos's accusation through the Aristocratic Court of Arbitration was obviously unexpected by Han Fei, in his opinion, this arrogant highness would use his status as a special envoy to directly pressure the Imperial side to hand over people, but this is undoubtedly inferior, once the matter is big, it will undoubtedly cause public anger, after all, the Empire and the Celestial Spirit Clan have been hostile to each other for thousands of years, how could the Empire deal with the nobles on its own side by Octavas's will?
The peace covenant between the two sides is of course extremely important, but the dignity of the imperial nobility cannot be bullied!
And filing a complaint with the Noble Arbitration Court is undoubtedly a clever move, this way will not give people the feeling of being above the authority of the Empire, and Han Fei must be heard if he wants to prove his innocence, otherwise the Empire will have to pressure him to release people and even apologize in order to reach an alliance, as for the merits of it, I am afraid that this Highness has been prepared, and kidnapping a special envoy of the Heavenly Spirit Clan is indeed a good crime.
Han Fei was very skeptical that Octavos had such a sane mind, and it was very likely that it was planned by the people around him.
Only this time the efficiency of the Noble Arbitration Court surprised him very much, because Han Fei had heard jokes about the Noble Arbitration Court more than once, and they took several weeks to arbitrate and adjudicate a case, which should be because the Empire attached great importance to it, otherwise he would not have sent a royal knight to summon him, but an arbitration knight.
"Okay! I'll go right away!" Han Fei said to the royal knight.
"It's just a small matter, someone didn't give up on your Jinghua Spirit Ring, and sent someone to steal it last night, but they were all caught by me..."He turned his head to his wives and smiled: "This Highness Octavos is probably in a hurry, so he wants to accuse me of kidnapping, haha!"
Han Bixuan and the others looked at each other, Han Bixuan and Fuji Shuixiu were both cultivating in the Martial Spirit Pagoda and the Spirit Law Tower, Han Wei'er and Han Xin'er slept too soundly, no one knew that such an incident actually happened last night.
"Husband, let's go with you!" Han Bixuan smiled and said, "I have never been to the Noble Court of Arbitration!"
The Noble Court of Arbitration is located next to the Cathedral of the God of War, which belongs to the central area of Yanjing, and its main body is a huge square and majestic white building, and dozens of tall stone pillars can be clearly seen outside the Court of Arbitration when you walk up the high steps, and the statue of the goddess of justice representing the law and contract stands in it.
Under the guidance of the two arbitration knights, Han Fei, Han Bixuan and the others walked into the aristocratic arbitration court together.
The first to enter was a hall large enough to accommodate a thousand people, and there was no one in it, and the Arbitrator led several people through a long passage until they finally came to a hearing hall inside.
Pushing open the door, a wave of hot air suddenly rushed to the face, and the small hearing hall was already full, and many nobles were whispering in groups in the audience.
Normally, hearings are not open to the public, usually only the parties and the arbitrators, but this time the litigation is unusual and it is not surprising that there are bystanders.
"His Excellency Han Fei, Marquis of the Empire and Lord of Tulip, has arrived!"
With a loud announcement from the Arbitrator, the hearing hall suddenly fell silent, and everyone's eyes turned to the direction of the door, focusing on Han Fei, who had entered with his head held high.
At this time, Han Fei discovered that many of the nobles in these audience seats he knew, Feng Qingyin, Feng Potian... Even Emperor Yeshi sat in a special seat in front with a beautiful maiden, and His Majesty the Emperor looked at him with a smile on his face.
On the hearing platform, seven serious-looking arbiters sat in tall golden chairs, with Octavos sitting on the left side, and behind him stood a female mage and two knights.
The seat on the right side was empty, obviously reserved for Han Fei.
"Han Fei, your courage is really not small..."Feng Potian greeted him directly, leaned into Han Fei's ear and whispered, "There are so many beautiful sisters-in-law, and they also robbed the female guards of the envoy of the Heavenly Spirit Clan!"
Han Feiqiang resisted the urge to roll his eyes, coughed and replied, "It's not what you think!"
Feng Potian smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Do you want me to be your defense assistant? I have helped others win several lawsuits before!"
"Excuse me!" Han Fei said with a smile: "I can win without you, see how I clean up this prince!"
The two stood at the door talking and laughing in a low voice, and when they sat in the plaintiff's seat, Octaworth couldn't stand it anymore, they immediately got up and shouted loudly: "Why don't you announce the start when people come, do you want to collude in advance?
There was an uproar in the hearing hall, regardless of whether the nobles present knew Han Fei or not, Octavas's arrogance and arrogance made them instinctively disgusted, and even more resentful of the same enemy.
How could the Heavenly Spirit Clan send such a fool over? Han Fei couldn't help but shake his head, becoming more and more convinced in his heart that it was definitely not this guy who came up with this trick of suing himself.
He keenly noticed that when Octavos got up and shouted, the young mage beside him grabbed him and whispered something, and His Royal Highness sat down with a grunt.
Boom!
One of the arbitrators on the hearing table picked up a gavel and struck it heavily on the countertop, shouting in a deep voice: "Silence!"
He turned his head to Octavos and said coldly: "Your Highness Octavas, please respect yourself, this is the Imperial Court of Arbitration, under the Goddess of Justice and the laws of the Empire, no matter what your status, as long as you file a lawsuit here, you will be fairly and justly arbitrated and tried!"
