Chapter 142: Winning the case without suspense
"Where to start?"
"From your first contact with Mr. Joseph. ”
"Well, let me think about it, Mr. Joseph was living in the tent next to me, and I was taking a shower, and I heard a snapping sound coming from next door, and a woman's muffled voice......"
The dragon began to describe the process, and he recounted the events of that day. Including handing over the girl to the bearded captain, and then there was Joseph's revenge and the defeat of Lynn. In fact, these contents have nothing to do with today's case, but Joseph's defender did not ask Ryuichi to stop, but listened patiently until Ryuichi finished speaking.
"You saw with your own eyes that the girl slapped Joseph and wept bitterly as soon as the spell was lifted?" asked the co-prosecutor's little prosecutor.
"Yes, of course I saw it with my own eyes, and many people at the scene saw it, if they have the guts, maybe they can form a group to prove it. Long Yi said.
"Okay, Your Honor, I don't have any other questions, thank you, Mr. Longyi. The little prosecutor returned to his seat.
"Then Mr. Ryuichi, according to your description, you seem to have a grudge against my client, Mr. Joseph. Joseph's big fat man defender moved up to Ryuichi and asked with a smile.
"Why do you say that?" asked Long Yi rhetorically.
"Because he was surprised, and wanted to touch your fairy dragon without your permission. The defender said.
"It's impossible, if I hold a grudge, I'll beat him to death on the spot. Long Yi said with a smile.
"Mr. Ryuichi, watch your words!" said the justice, looking at Ryuichi.
"I'm sorry, Your Excellency. It's hard to hear, but it's true. Please understand, I just finished swearing. I don't want to be condemned by the gods. Long Yi said with a smile.
"Hehe, the name Long Yi, I think everyone who pays attention to the trends of the Dragon Knight Academy has heard of it! There is also the most important one, the character of the eyes must be repaid. It seems to me that you have a grudge against Joseph, and after that, you used the spirit spells of the banshee to direct such a farce!" the big fat defender shouted at Long Yi with a fierce voice.
"Objection! Your Excellency!"
"Defender, watch your words, don't make any assumptions!" the judge's eagle-like eyes stared at the defender. Shook the fat fat man all over his body.
"I'm sorry, but I just had to remind the judge whether the other side has an interest in the prosecution. The defender laughed.
"Is it a matter of interest, like 300,000 gold coins and a royal mansion in the Midtown? Long Yi pouted.
"Silence!"
Syllable!
The mallet fell. The judge glared at Long Yi fiercely, even a bold person like Long Yi was taken aback by this look, this judge was really majestic enough.
"Your Excellency, I don't have a problem. The defender said.
"Your Excellency. We want to bring in our second witness!, Banshee Azusa!" the prosecutor immediately stood up and said.
"I'm against it! Banshees aren't human! can't be a witness!" the big fat defender hadn't returned to his seat yet. Immediately yelled.
"The objection is invalid, imperial law provides that any being with sufficient intelligence can be a witness!" said the judge.
So Xiao Zi Shi Shi Ran got up and floated to Long Yi's side. It was only then that the people who were watching made a startled voice. It turns out that that cute little maid turned out to be a banshee!
"Silence!Ryuichi, order your minions to give a truthful description. The judge said.
Long Yi pursed his lips, a little dislike the word 'command'.
"Xiao Zi, tell them everything about the time. "Not at all commanding tone. But in essence, there is no contradiction with the judge's request. The judge did not comment on this, and he also knew that there were people in this world who liked to treat their servants as friends. He can understand.
Xiao Zi glanced at Long Yi gratefully, and then spoke, describing the situation at that time. There is no difference from what Long Yi said, but it describes in detail the name of the spiritual spell cast by Joseph.
"That's all, Judge, with all due respect, anything she says to such an evil banshee is not to be trusted. God knows if she'll cast a mental spell to control all of us' minds, and asking a banshee to be a witness is even more ridiculous than a comedy!"
Joseph's defender shouted excitedly.
"If I cast a spirit spell, I'll definitely burn your brain first, dead fat. Xiao Zi stared at Joseph's defender silently, but did not say it, at this time, she would definitely cause trouble for her own people, she was a smart little maid, she knew what to say and what not to say.
"I can prove that my words are credible, as long as I ask someone to cooperate with me to do a test. Xiao Zi said.
"Is what the witness Xiao Zi said credible, today we have found the four respected researchers of the Royal Academy of Spells, and they will be our third group of witnesses today!" the little prosecutor shouted.
So, the four researchers took the stage at the same time, took the oath, and then they argued.
"I'll finish the oath first!I'm supposed to sit next to Xiao Zi!" said one of the researchers.
"Bastard, I'm the oldest, don't you know how to respect your elders!" said another researcher.
"I'm the highest!I'm supposed to sit next to Xiao Zi!" said the third researcher.
"Ryuichi! Ryuichi! remember me! I'm your spell master! The spell master who lost to you! I promised to teach you how to make scrolls!"
The four researchers, all of whom are young, are arguing over a cute little Lori. Xiao Zi couldn't help but hold her face: "Hey, I'm really too cute." ”
The Chancellor watched the four researchers of the Royal Academy of Spells arguing like children, and felt that the face of the entire empire had been lost. However, he also knew that these researchers were only interested in the study of spells. They don't care what others think of them. It is because of their existence that the prosperity of the empire is guaranteed, and it is difficult for you to criticize them for anything.
"Guards, give them an independent witness section!"
The Chancellor ordered. Thereupon. The four of them were immediately assigned to an area far away from Xiao Zi.
"Blame you!"
"It's all your fault!"
"You wait!"
"Hmph!
Xiao Zi slowly got up, floated out of the witness stand, and then slowly came to the dock, staring at Joseph's face and smiling slightly. Joseph felt the chill coming from front of him, and he felt like he wanted to shiver uncontrollably.
"Please find a woman you absolutely trust and trust, and I'll show you. How did you get that woman to do what she said to you? Xiao Zi said.
"Bastard! This is impossible! Who knows what the hell are you doing!" the defender resolutely disagreed.
"Don't worry, I'll just tell our researchers how to do it. If you don't believe me, don't you believe the Royal Spell Researcher? Xiao Zi said.
"I don't have a woman here, and God knows what method you're going to use to fool the researcher!" the big fat man's defender still disagreed, but he was obviously lacking in confidence. Sweat dripped down the head of the big fat apologists.
"Joseph. Do you still have to hold on? There are sixteen combinations of your spells, and only one of them will be able to control the girl. Aphrodisiacs are in the third and sixth positions, and I am going to continue to talk about the rest?"
Xiao Zi turned her gaze back to Joseph.
"I ...... Plead guilty. Joseph finally broke down.
In front of the master of spiritual spells, all disguises are floating clouds!
The co-prosecutors cheered, they had expected that today would be a difficult and difficult confrontation, but they did not expect that Joseph would confess so easily!
A slight bit of intimidation, of course. Automatically ignored by the four spell researchers.
Since the defendant pleaded guilty, the next step was the conviction. There will be a series of bargaining transactions between the plaintiff and the defendant. But that's not something that a witness like Long Yi needs to worry about.
Leaving the courthouse, Erin finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Ahh Erin took a few deep breaths before speaking.
"Hey, that's it, I thought he could die and struggle, and have some fun at the end. The dragon pursed his lips, feeling unhappy.
"It's all my fault, I knew that I would ease it down a bit. Xiao Zi was also doing a serious self-examination on the side.
"No, it's just that he's too weak. The scum is a scum at any time, and he can't even do his duty as a scumbag, so what else can he do?" Long Yi said with a smile.
"Let's go, just in time for lunch!" Irene obviously didn't want to discuss the subject, the oppressive air there made her unhappy, as if even the mention of it made her unhappy.
In the afternoon, the court came with the results. The Hagrid family paid a large sum of money to each of the co-appellants, reaching a private settlement that allowed Joseph to be spared the death penalty. But even then, Joseph faced a ten-year prison sentence. The court ordered Joseph to abolish all power and deprive him of his qualifications as a dragon knight, and the dragon immediately returned to the open sea of Dragon Island.
The punishment is nothing, but the dragon knight is disqualified, which is a very fatal thing. You must know that once the dragon knight officially serves, he is born with a noble identity. This is different from the nobility that you can get by donating money, which means that you will have at least one ticket to the power system of the empire in the future.
Although the Hagrid family was a great family and was awarded honorary nobility by the emperor for his contribution to the country, this status without any interests that could not be inherited was meaningless. The Hagrid family has always hoped that Joseph can become a real dragon knight, and when the time comes, the family will naturally use all means to establish ties with him and help him achieve military success. With Hagrid's connections, it can't be said that it is on the rise, and the amount is limitless.
But this time, it's all over.
As for the one-time punishment, some well-informed people believe that the key is most likely that the emperor deliberately suppressed the Hagrid family. Although the emperor did not say it directly, he once occasionally said that it was inappropriate for the country's logistics to be in the hands of a few people, and more people should be allowed to participate in it. However, Hager has always performed well as a supplier, and there are no mistakes. Even the emperor can't just say it.
And now, it's the opportunity.
Of course, this is not the case. It will take time to verify.
However, Ryuichi doesn't have time to care about these things at the moment. Because, he was blocked by an angry man in front of him. And behind him, there was the second prince with a wry smile.
"Long Yi! You kid can really do it, turn Lao Tzu around! Lao Tzu went to the Dragon God Space to look for you, but you shouldn't fight; Lao Tzu went to the academy to look for you, and you came to the Imperial City! Now Lao Tzu has come to the Imperial City. I'll see where you're hiding!"
The person who spoke was Lei Zhen, and after he found the second prince, he couldn't wait. went directly to the academy to find Long Yi, but only to hear that Long Yi had already gone to the Imperial City. So he ran to the imperial city again, and after politely paying a visit to the general's mansion, he heard that Long Yi had gone to the Grand Court. And when he arrived at the Grand Court. But I heard that Long Yi had already finished testifying. Returned to the General's Palace.
So Lei Zhen rushed to the General's Mansion again, and as soon as he arrived at the door, the second prince also arrived at the same time. Fortunately, the second prince came in time, otherwise I am afraid that this tendon would have rushed directly to the general's mansion again. You must know that Lei Zhen is a dragon knight and an air force. And General Chiron is an army, although the two sides belong to the same imperial army, but the nature of the different arms makes the two sides somewhat suspicious. Especially Lei Zhen's way of speaking without going through the head. It's even easier to get into trouble.
However, Lei Zhen's luck was good, and he actually met Long Yi and Erin who were about to go out at the gate of the General's Mansion.
"Huh. Who are you, uncle?" Long Yi looked at the vicissitudes of life on the other side, and then looked at the head squatting on Lei Zhen's shoulder like a flying dragon with a big hammer head, and asked.
"Lao Tzu is not an uncle! Lao Tzu is Lei Zhen! Lei Zhen in the seventh grade!" shouted in a tired and loud voice.
"Okay, Uncle Lei Zhen, calm down first. Second Prince, who are you?" Long Yi felt Lei Zhen's fierce fighting intent, but he didn't have any hostility. Long Yihuan instinctively noticed that the second prince seemed to be full of distress, so he simply asked directly.
"This Lei Zhen brother...... I want to talk to you, it's nothing else, but I'm a little too anxious, and I was going to wait for you to return to the academy. The second prince said.
"Sparring?" Ryuichi's eyes immediately lit up. He could feel the surging force on the other party's body, and bursts of pressure hit him, making Long Yi have a sense of crisis that he had not felt for a long time.
This is a suitable opponent!
Almost at the same time, this thought sounded in the minds of Lei Zhen and Long Yi!
Although Long Yi did not have the slightest fighting spirit in his body at this time, Lei Zhen instinctively felt that this Long Yi was definitely not as honest as his face! Lei Zhen looked at Long Yi and only felt that the hairs on his body were standing upside down. It was an instinctive vigilance that had been trained in the battlefield for a long time!
This Ryuichi is definitely not as simple as the big guy who looks.
"Ah, by the way, Lei Zhen is in the seventh grade, and he has officially served, that is, in the Third Legion. The second prince added. It can be regarded as explaining the bottom of the thunder shock to Long Yi, so that Long Yi can be a little prepared. Needless to say, the strength of the seventh grade is naturally superior, and the Third Legion is a famous madman legion, and the dragon knights there are all extremely strong! Even if they are placed in the same dragon knights, the dragon knights of the third legion are absolutely first-class!
"The Third Legion!Isn't that a senior!" said Ryuichi, an honest man, with an admirer's smile on his face, and then stretched out his hand.
In fact, Long Yi is a junior, and it is inappropriate to take the initiative to reach out. However, Lei Zhen looked at the smile on Long's face, and knew what the next fixed program would be.
Shake my hand?
"Junior, hello!" Lei Zhen has already decided to give Long Yi a dismount!
"I heard that you have a lot of strength, junior!" Lei Zhenyi grasped Long Yi's hand.
"Hehe, senior, you're polite, it's just a rumor. As juniors, how can we compare with you!" The smile on Long Yi's face remained unchanged, but the hands of both of them made a gurgling sound almost simultaneously.
This bastard has so much strength!
This sentence popped out of Long Yi and Lei Zhen's minds almost at the same time.
Lei Zhen held Long Yi's hand with a fighting spirit at this time, but he felt that Long Yi's hand was as strong as a solid piece of iron. When you hold it, you don't even have the slightest deformation! This bastard's brute strength is simply perverted! Is this bastard boy a beast? How can he have so much strength?
And Long Yi was also very surprised, although Lei Zhen had a fighting spirit, but there was not much, and under the limited fighting energy, such a large amount of strength erupted. It can only be said that Lei Zhen's own brute strength is also very amazing! It is definitely above Erin's second brother Ace!
"Your strength is not small, junior!" Lei Zhen said through gritted teeth.
"Your strength is not small, senior. "Long Yi still looks like an honest man. Fighting brute force, who has Long Yi been afraid of except for hydraulic tongs?
Lei Zhen finally understood that he was definitely in the wrong position in terms of brute force. This bastard's strength is amazing, and the amount of strength is still increasing! Lei Zhen can feel that his hands are deformed! What should I do? Do you use my fighting spirit to shake it away? How embarrassing it is! Before you even start fighting, you will lose first? Lao Tzu would rather have his hand crushed than do such a disgrace!
Thinking of this, Lei Zhen's eyes widened, and he gave out the little bit of strength he had, if he didn't succeed, Lao Tzu wouldn't want this hand today!
Long Yi decisively captured the decision in the other party's eyes.
This thunderstorm is a man.
- Although there is a bit of a lack of heart.
But, what a man!
Judging from Long Yi's current brute strength, as long as he spells out all his strength, he can completely crush Lei Zhen's hand. However, Long Yi is not the kind of person who has no sense of proportion.
Anyway, it's also a soldier of the Fansen Legion.
Then, Ryuichi let go of his hand. (To be continued......)
