Widno sat upright on the chair in the middle and snorted coldly, "Francis, as a god, you have committed so many crimes, which can be said to be heinous crimes, and the crimes cannot be punished! I must personally preside over the trial! Your Excellency has come to see with your own eyes how you have subdued the law because you despise your crimes! At the same time, you have come to be a witness!"

Du Chen smiled, and at this time, Bu Ze stepped back from behind, "Kneel!"

"Except for the Holy Sect and Your Majesty, no one in the empire has the right to make me kneel! Do you think you are more noble than the Holy Sect and Your Majesty!" Du Chen glanced at him. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Buze was furious, stretching out his legs to kick Du Chen.

"Buze, that's enough!" Widno stared at Du Chen and sneered, waved his hand to signal Buze to step aside, and asked, "Francis, don't you immediately admit your crime?"

"My crime?huh, Honorable Minister of Etiquette, please tell me what the hell I do, okay?" Du Chen mocked Widnor.

"Hmph, you have committed an unforgivable sin in just half a day after entering Yanjing! And before you left Yanjing to study, you committed many crimes, which is simply outrageous!"

Wideno spared no effort to accuse Du Chen, and he was righteous and awe-inspiring, and a fair and selfless ** official image was upright!

Du Chen didn't pay attention to Weidenuo, and suddenly looked up at the sculpture of the balance representing fairness and justice behind the judgment table, and thought to himself, people in the previous life said that the crime of murder by politicians is enough with just one sentence of 'unwarranted', hehe, today I have personally experienced this!

"Minister of Etiquette, you are the highest judge of the Empire, and you have to talk about evidence when you speak! Please show me the evidence! This is my right. Du Chen said indifferently.

"Of course, my criterion for judging cases is based on evidence! If it weren't for the conclusive evidence, I wouldn't have asked Admiral Kirisek to send someone to arrest you!" Widno patted the thick stack of files on the table, and said in a deep voice: "Let's not talk about your crimes before you went to school, just talk about your crimes after you returned to St. John's City!"

He threw a dossier at Du Chen's feet and shouted, "On the evening of September 13, you entered the city of St. John!

Du Chen nodded, many pedestrians in St. Bowen Square had seen this, and it could be said that the whole city knew about it. But the rest of the story is that only a few people know about the secret that happened in the middle of the night!

"But at five o'clock the next morning, when the sun was just rising, someone saw you repairing the houses of the common people in the southern city! This means that you left the Cathedral of St. John that night!

Du Chen looked at Widno in surprise. "Dear Minister of Etiquette, aren't you saying that I have committed some unforgivable crime during this time!?"

Widno smiled, "Why, can't you explain? Let me tell you, that night, after you left St. John's Cathedral, you brutally murdered a lord in the fifth neighborhood of the South City...... And after you killed that Lord, you also heinously annihilated his beautiful fiancée!!"

......

At this time, the black crowd gathered in the St. Bowen Square, and even the Palace of Verne and the Cathedral, which were located at the north and south ends of the square, were alarmed.

In the crowd, a white-haired old man in his sixties stood on his cart and said loudly, "I don't want to say anything, and I don't dare to talk nonsense under the statue of the ancestor of St. Bowen...... At this time last year, like all of you, I was living on a cart to deliver food on the streets of Nancheng, but now, like you, I have enough food and warm clothes! Who gave these things!?"

The wrinkles on his face were twisted together, his face was flushed, and his breath was no longer calm because he spoke too loudly, but old Matthew still said in the loudest voice: "Who is Lord Francis, everyone knows in their hearts, who among us has not received his favor!? Because of Lord Francis's kindness, our wives and children have not starved, old men like me have not been left on the streets, and most of us have been able to turn from beggars to workers, and we no longer have to be looked down upon by others!"

"Think about it, what would we be like without Master Francis?Old Larry!" he pointed to a man, "Last year you passed out on the streets north of the city, when the rain was pouring down, you were covered in mud, you were sick and dying, no one wanted to pay attention to you, a lowly beggar, not even an ordinary commoner, who carried you three streets behind your back and sent you to the hospital!?"

Abreu, your daughter's illness is all cured, so haven't you forgotten who brought your daughter the best and most expensive sacrifice in Yanjing in the middle of the night!? At that time, your family couldn't even eat a meal! It was Master Francis who paid for all the medicine for you! And you, Sharon, you were framed by the City Guard, who led the men to confront the fierce soldiers of the City Guard for three hours, rescued you from the dungeon, and gave you another life!?"

Old Matthew nodded one by one, and finally, he raised his hand high, "But, just now Lord Francis was captured by the city guards, and Lord Widno wants to judge him!"

The crowd was immediately indignant.

"Everyone knows what the City Guard looks like......! My old Matthew has gone out and told the truth under the statue of the Patriarch St. Bovin, that if it weren't for Lord Francis, I would have been beaten to death by Carmen, the son of Widnor!

"I don't believe it!" the voice shook the sky and spread far, far away.

"Adults on the other side!" shouted Old Matthew, "we dare not disobey the laws of the Empire, but we demand to see the trial with our own eyes, and we do not believe that Lord Francis will commit a crime!"

"We want to see it with our own eyes!" the voices of thousands of people joined together and pierced the sky.

The soldiers who maintained order in the square immediately became nervous, and one of the leaders shouted, "This is St. Bowen Square, you disperse immediately, otherwise you ......"

"How dare you?" a kind voice resounded through the square, and Father Ferdinand walked out of the cathedral, "Warriors, these angry people are expressing their reasonable requests, and God will not blame them, because God has given them this reasonable and legitimate right!"

Ferdinand's words immediately won the kind and grateful eyes of the commoners, and he smiled and blessed as he walked towards the Palace of Verne, "Yes, the Holy Church will not interfere in the internal affairs of Lanning, but please wait a moment, my name is Ferdinand, and I will ask His Majesty Balgena to make this trial public in the name of God......"

"Praise the Holy Church, praise the Pope, praise Father Ferdinand!" The poor people under the theocracy were immediately filled with hope, and God's spokesman, Father Ferdinand, said that we have done nothing wrong, and we will continue to do it!

......

In the trial hall, Du Chen is on fire, damn, you can do whatever you want to frame Lao Tzu, but you can't use the crime of annihilation......! I'd like to...... But do I dare?

Du Chen's angry eyes made Wideno very proud, and continued: "I am the Minister of Imperial Etiquette and Law, and I will definitely act in accordance with the law! Francis, I have sufficient evidence to prove your crime!"

Widno sneered in his heart, if you talk about creating unjust, false and wrongful cases, who can compare to yourself, the first official of the empire!? Francis, you are dead, are there a lot of civilians outside? Ha, they are still asking for a public trial, very good, very good! I will discredit you in front of everyone and sentence you to death on the spot!

Hmph, civilian...... Synonymous with ignorance, they are too easily deceived, and their own experience is too sufficient to deal with this situation!

Francis, wait and see, it won't be long before these civilians outside, who regard you as the spokesperson of virtue, will completely change their attitude and scold you for your hypocrisy and evil!

At this time, two Verne guards entered the judgment hall and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Widnor, Your Majesty has asked you to explain everything that is happening now, and Your Majesty has agreed to Ferdinand's request to order you to put Francis on trial under the statue of St. Bowen's Ancestor!

Facing the royal guards who came to deliver the message, Widno and the big people present stood up, and after listening to the content of the message, Widno smiled and said, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will give you a satisfactory answer!"

One of Lanning's three great soldiers, the royal guards of Verne quickly blocked St. Bowen Square, and the third prince, who was training outside the city, was also urgently transferred back to Yanjing, and was ordered to lead the royal army to blockade the entire central royal district of St. John's City.

When the Yanjing bigwigs who came in a hurry after getting the news saw the situation in front of them, all the people with a keen sense of political smell among them trembled in their hearts, the chaos in Lanning's political arena, I'm afraid there will be a result today!

Wideno presided over the trial at the gates of the Palace of Verne, His Majesty Balgena and Father Ferdinand sat high on the gates of the Palace of Verne, while the commoners gathered around the newly erected interrogation platform in St. Burvin's Square, and of course, there was a cordon between the interrogation platform and the civilians by royal guards.

Bowing deeply to His Majesty on the castle tower, Widno once again loudly announced Du Chen's 'crime', and then said loudly: "Your Majesty, now I prove for you, for all the subjects of Lanning, that Francis is guilty! I have sufficient evidence to prove that in the early morning of September 13, Francis clashed with a nobleman and brutally killed him! Of course, I cannot deny that nobleman's character is as inferior as Francis, but this in no way constitutes a reason for Francis to kill him......

Balgener scratched his head, this move was very imperial, but he couldn't help it!

In the early morning of the thirteenth of September, there was indeed a nobleman who came close to a confrontation with Francis, but was he of inferior character? Damn it, Widnor, you fucking bastard, I will kill you in a moment! That night Francis was holding a secret royal banquet with your majesty and Balgner!
