Chapter 199: Stalemate

After meeting the lawyer, his aunt Lily, Bruce, and even Anna, he sat down with his uncle, White, to discuss the next steps.

White handed him a cigarette and lit it for him before saying, "Hold it up, you've been wronged." ”

Philip took a hard sip, shook his head, and said, "I'm too young and careless." ”

White didn't say anything, he knew Philip's ideas in advance, and he was also in favor of luring the snake out of the hole, but he didn't expect the other party to be so ruthless.

The mistake is not Philip alone, as the head of the two families in the imperial capital, the lack of information is the biggest failure, which is simply a shame for him.

"You have also been wronged. Philip said.

White smiled bitterly and said, "Although Kulin's level is not high, his popularity is very good, I have explained it to him, but the effect is not great."

It's just that if you don't borrow the power of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Lawrence family still has some background, but there will be fewer sources. ”

"What did grandfather say?" asked Philip.

White played with the lighter and said, "You don't know what kind of personality your grandfather had?

Before I finished speaking, I blew up directly, not only scolding me, but also clamoring to come to the imperial capital in person.

If it weren't for your aunt's persuasion, he would have gotten on the train by now.

Now that he is pacifying the homes of your classmates, at least Gaokan City can't be messed up, and the foundation of the Wild Lion can't be messed up. ”

Philip nodded, and that was his opinion as well.

The authority of the Count of the Unified Army comes from his tens of thousands of wolf-like troops, and it does not affect the judiciary.

Since he can't enter Beijing without permission with his troops, let alone leave his post without permission, whether he arrives in person is of little significance, and maybe it will affect White's authority in the imperial capital and form a chaotic situation of multiple commands.

White continued, "There is a stalemate at the moment, and there are two of us involved, including your grandfather's best friend, Councilor Parrick Gray, a total of four families.

On the other side are three families, including the Blazer family, all of whom are old rivals.

In addition, I didn't expect that Education Minister Brown also joined over there, and it seems that he is still haunted by the last time you broke his grandson's wrist.

He himself is also upside, but because the old princess is involved, there are still a few peripheral families who are figuring out the meaning of the royal family, and they are about to move, and now everyone is waiting for the result of the trial.

The reason why I only transferred you to this side this morning is because of the interference of the other party.

gave up the power to guard you, but he clinged to the right to handle the case, which is the most troublesome.

One whole night was enough time for them to have all the evidence.

I have discussed with lawyer Ross, and now it is very unfavorable to your situation, there is almost no possibility of overturning the case, and the other party is very meticulous.

And we all suspect that there is a mole around you.

Otherwise, they won't be able to know your situation so well that they will even take your reactions into account. ”

Philip's heart trembled, this was the last thing he wanted, although he was also a little skeptical, but he was lucky, and now he was broken by White's words.

He frowned and asked, "How are the people in the academy?"

It was already the afternoon of the next day, but none of Wesley and the others came, so I don't know what their situation was.

"Now the whole hotel is surrounded by a raging crowd of protesters and journalists, who are trapped in the hotel and unable to move.

The kids weren't in good spirits, and before I came, I heard that Wesley and Randall had a fight, but they were quickly pulled away and not hurt. ”

Philip's brows furrowed even tighter, and he said to White for a long time: "Uncle, I am not too worried about the trial.

What is true is true, and what is false can never be true.

I was just a little hesitant and didn't know what to choose.

I can allow the situation to brew, develop, and spread, and when the truth is revealed, I can turn public opinion into a helping force, and turn it into a raging fire that will completely burn the enemy to ashes.

But it hurts the people I care about, and it can have a serious impact on their lives.

If it were you, what would you choose?"

When White heard this, he smiled for the first time and hurriedly asked, "Are you really prepared?"

Philip smiled bitterly, he is not a fairy, let alone an old man hidden in the ring, he can jump out to support him at a critical moment, how can he guarantee that it is foolproof.

"I'm not sure yet, but I'm pretty sure I'm just waiting for someone right now. If he shows up, then we are foolproof. ”

"Okay, what do you need me to do, though, it's not just for you.

As for your choice, you need to ask yourself what is more important to you.

Only in this way, one day in the future, you will not regret it.

Don't worry, even if the trial fails, your uncle won't sit back and watch you go to jail.

The name of the lawyer Ross in the imperial capital who did not know, the famous ghost sorrow.

If the case is lost in the first instance, it can still be appealed, and there are also second and third trials, which can at least drag on the lawsuit for a few years.

In a few years, there are many things that can be done, and it is still doubtful whether old Roland will live to that time.

They provoked the war, and when it will end is not something for them to decide. ”

Philip finally made up his mind, snuffed out the cigarette butt, looked up and said to White: "Then trouble my uncle, coordinate the day of the trial as soon as possible, the sooner the better." ”

White left, leaving Philip with a full box of cigarettes.

Philip sat there and muffled his thoughts.

The key person he was talking about was Peter, but after the incident, Peter disappeared, and even Paul did not know where he had gone.

But Philip inexplicably felt that the person who betrayed him was not Peter, he was just hiding, and the reason was not clear.

I just have to wait for him to show up.

There were a lot of people who came to visit him, and basically all the friends he knew in the imperial capital came, except for a certain purple-haired woman.

Philip couldn't tell whether he was disappointed or secretly relieved.

For this inexplicably entangled woman, Philip's inner feelings have always been complicated.

There are already men's complacency, eager to show off to the whole world, the dignified princess of the empire, crying and shouting about the vanity of marrying him.

On the other hand, for women who are too ambitious, he always lacks a little bit of heartbeat, and he is a little resistant from the heart.

It's okay to be like this now, I can see her true face clearly, get rid of it as soon as possible, and save myself from worry, as well as the guilt of Yun'er.

As for the inexplicable confidence in his uncle's words, he is not optimistic, but he is in a different position.

For the Lawrence family, and even the Snape family, Philip's affairs are just a partial corner, at best, his status as a pawn is more valuable, but it is not completely impossible to lose.

But for him, and even for many, the outcome of the trial was almost all.

Far away in the southeastern border of the empire, the city of Gaokan, the Castle of the Wild Lion.

"Murder?"

"Trial?"

The woman's exclamation rang out in the room.

Not just a woman, Catherine and Lin Yun's faces were full of surprise and incredulity, as if they never expected such a negative word to be associated with the familiar figure in their impression.

Despite all the storms and storms she had already experienced, Jane's face was a little ugly, and when her husband Brad told her about it, she didn't react much better than the two women.

"Don't be alarmed, Philip is fine now, right in the precinct of his maternal grandfather Byrne, without suffering. ”

Hearing her father's name, Catherine calmed down a little, but Yun'er walked in front of Jane in a few steps and said coldly, "I'm going to the imperial capital." ”

Jane smiled bitterly, since the little grandson left, the smile on this girl's face has become less and less, and even the words have become much less.

"Sit down first, and so do you, Catherine. Even if you want to go, you have to listen to the words. ”

Then Jane shared the news she had received from Brad with the two women, and after they digested it for a while, she persuaded her: "It's not that I won't let you go, but you won't help you if you go, and it may cause trouble for them and make Philip more worried."

That's what he meant, so don't worry, just wait at home, and soon he'll be back.

Yun'er still has to go to school, and Catherine has two more children, which is inconvenient.

Even if you go, you won't be able to make it to the first trial. ”

As soon as her words fell, Yun'er stood up again, and repeated in a resolute tone: "I'm going to the imperial capital, I'm going to find my uncle." ”

Jian patted Yun'er's hand lightly and comforted: "Good girl, grandma knows that you want to help him, but your uncle is not in the imperial capital now.

Even if he is, I'm afraid he won't be able to help much, the medical priest and the inquisition are two completely different systems. ”

Jane was right, although juridically speaking, the Inquisition was also a branch of the Temple, but it was of a special nature.

On the one hand, the trial work pays more attention to the understanding and fairness of the legal provisions, and does not require too high-level awakening ability, so high-level priests will not be stationed in various places, but only set aside a certain amount of time every year to rotate in various places.

In this way, the waste of the power of the priests can be avoided, and some incidents of favoritism and malpractice can be avoided.

On the other hand, because the investigation of cases requires a large number of specific case-handling personnel who are familiar with local people's livelihood and customs.

After countless years of running-in and adjustment, countries and localities have now formed conventional rules.

In the case of the Wardsmann Empire, for example, the Inquisition Court had independent jurisdiction, investigative power, and enforcement powers.

However, in the actual process of implementation, the composition of specific case-handling personnel is completely different.

Not to mention the right to judge, the priest serves as the judge at all levels, which is the bottom line of the temple.

However, in terms of investigation and prosecution and law enforcement, it is completely divided into two distinct lines.

Cases that occur within the diocese are handled by the Knights Templar, while outside the diocese are handled by the local vigilantes or other government departments.

The Knights of the Templar have the right to take over the case when there is a partial overlap between the two, or when the case involves a member of the Templar.
