Chapter 163 Judgment (3)

Unfortunately, the confidentiality work of the royal family's internal banquet was so perfect. Widno didn't know at all, and even none of the big guys present knew about it - except for those who participated in the banquet such as Balgena! It can be imagined that an emperor who took into account his reputation and claimed to be a saint, must have done absolutely confidentiality when he was ambushing masters and setting up a trap to deal with a hero!

Even the godfather Ferdinand only knew that Yuna brought Du Chen into the palace with a carriage, but he didn't know what happened afterwards!

Apart from the small movement of scratching his head, Balgena did not show too many expressions, but watched Wideno's performance quietly. However, he knew in his heart that the Minister of Etiquette and Law is an absolute master in creating unjust, false and wrong cases. If the level of the God of Fighting was divided into the level of the God of Fighting, he was at least a level 9 upper-level fighting god, or even the legendary level 10 fighting god! Because he had used his almost perfect "creation" ability to get rid of many annoying people, it is absolutely impossible to pick out Wideno's mistakes from a legal perspective - after all, many laws now were formulated by Wideno himself!

But everything became different because of the extremely secret royal banquet...Balgena's heart was already collapsed. Should he cry or laugh? He, the king has become the most powerful witness to prove Francis' innocence. Haha, it's really interesting! But his outstanding minister will be...

Widno glanced proudly at Du Chen who was escorted to the trial stage by the soldiers and said loudly: "Your Majesty, sir, and everyone present!" His loud and seductive language like an orator came into everyone's ears with the help of fighting spirit.

"The most important thing to accuse a person of committing a crime is the following points, the time, place, motive, and the most important one - evidence!" He signaled several clerks to come to the stage to assist him, pointing at Du Chen with righteousness, "Now I will prove one by one that Francis is definitely the murderer of this noble murder, and then send him to the stolen rack and receive the punishment he deserves!"

Amid the booing of the civilians, he waved his hand angrily, as if he was really angry by Du Chen's "race" and right the crown embroidered with a balance on his head. He stared at Du Chen and shouted: "Francis! The duke who was killed last night was named Aino! On October 7 last year, Lord Aino clashed with two civilians in the north trade zone of the city. You ordered Ariza to beat him! Afterwards, Lord Aino took people to seek revenge and had a fierce conflict with you! So, you two are enemies, do you admit this... do you admit it??"

Before Du Chen could speak, an old man among the civilians shouted: "No, that's not a conflict, it's Aino who wants to steal my daughter. Lord Francis saved our father and daughter! I'm willing to testify, even if I'm sentenced to hit the nobles afterwards, I'll say it!"

"Thank you, this old man! You confirmed that there is a hatred between Frances and Aino!" Widno smiled happily!

"Don't talk nonsense, I don't mean that, I mean..." Before the old man finished speaking, he was invited aside by the two guards very "politely".

"Thank you again, the old man who is not afraid of power. Your words are so valuable. This will be an important witness to the determination of Francis' crime!" Widno said proudly. This was one of his unique tricks to become famous, "take it out of context"!

All the civilian booed everywhere, and everyone understood what the old man just now, or it should be said that only Weidno would understand so much. Weidno continued to speak proudly, as if the civilian booed him, as if he was applauding him. This was also his unique trick to "pretend to be deaf and dumb"!

"Do you admit what the old man said just now? Francis, if you deny it, I will judge that the old man is slandering the nobles, and I will sentence him to death!" Another great trick to become famous "who dies and who lives"?

Widno actually doesn't care whether Du Chen will admit it. If Du Chen denies it, the old man will die. In this way, Du Chen's reputation will inevitably be hit hard, but if Du Chen admits it, then...

Du Chen smiled: "Why should I deny it? I admit, why should I deny what I did? I immediately let that old man go. What he said is the truth!"

"Did you admit it? You admit it was you who killed Lord Aino! And Lord Aino's fiancée was raped and killed. You are also the murderer, so the motive is to be lustful!"

Seeing that Du Chen admitted this matter, Widno continued to use his unique trick of "taking things out of context"!

"No, I deny it, I just admit that Lord Aino and I had a dispute before the New Year. In addition, I have never seen Lord Aino's fiancée at all, let alone rape and kill her!" Du Chen smiled contemptuously.

Widno was not surprised by Du Chen's denial. He smiled coldly and turned around and walked behind the trial table. "Now I need you to explain what you are doing in the early morning of September 13th!"

Du Chen looked up at His Majesty, and Widno slapped the judgement table in front of him heavily, touching him! He quickly said: "If you can't explain this, then in law, it is not ruled out that you killed Lord Aino in the remote fifth block at this time and cruelly raped and killed his fiancée!" Widno shouted loudly at the top of his lungs! It was still a trick of "snatching the blow"!

"Okay, motive, time, place, all! Francis, what evidence do you have to refute!? But as the Minister of Etiquette and Law, I remind you that in law your servants and entourage cannot be witnesses to you, and when it comes to a murder of a noble, the slave is not qualified to testify, especially to prove his own master! The testimony of civilians can only be used as a reference and cannot be used as the basis for final closing of the case!" Wiedno sneered in his heart. This law was formulated by him!

Du Chen shrugged and didn't say anything, or rather, he was just waiting to see a joke!

Widno, who was acting like a clown, sighed a long sigh and said sadly: "Now we can imagine that in the early morning of September 13, you met a beautiful girl in the fifth block, and was attracted by his beauty, cruelly raped her and killed her afterwards... Moreover, from the traces of the body, your methods were very cruel... Then you found that this girl was Lord Aino's fiancée..." This is Widno's highest trick "creating facts"! Because what he said is actually almost no different from the facts, except that the protagonist is not Du Chen!

At this time, the princes on the city tower suddenly realized that Princess Yuna, who had always been dignified and calm, had a strange expression.

Damn Widno, you just accused your father of being a poor person, and now... Humph, Francis did meet a beautiful noble girl, but that was me, Princess Yuna!

Widno, it’s understandable to create unjust cases for political purposes, but you have to choose time to frame them! It’s over, you’re completely over, this time no one can save you! Yuna looked at the situation in front of her and suddenly felt a move in her heart. After whispering a few words in Balgna’s ear, she disappeared on the city tower.

Du Chen looked at Wei Deno, who was "fair and selfless" and "righteous" with interest, and suddenly interrupted him, "Mr. Wei Deno, evidence, you need to speak with evidence!"

Widno looked at Du Chen with contempt, circled around the stage, and made a full gesture in front of the onlookers, "Of course I have evidence, and it is absolutely sufficient evidence! It is irrefutable evidence! Because that night, a second-level fighter from the City Guard happened to pass by there, and he happened to see the scene of you dealing with the body after the murder! Fortunately, fortunately, he is the second-level fighter in the earth-type who is best at hiding, so he was not discovered by you, the third-level fighter. If it were another fighter, I believe you would definitely be silenced!"

At the call of Widno, a tall and strong man in his early twenties walked onto the judgment table. His face was young and tender, and he was a little nervous, and he suddenly won the favor of everyone. "My name is Curry, and I swear with the honor of the God of Fighting God. I witnessed Francis's crimes and was willing to tell the facts I saw and all the facts..."

In an instant, the voices of the civilians shouting for Du Chen gradually became weaker. Because Curry was born in a slum in Nancheng, he became a fighter through his own hard work. Many of the poor people present knew him well, so naturally he had a great trust in his words!

When faced with people of the same background, it is easier to trust each other!

Du Chen glanced at His Majesty Balgena on the city tower. The two of them had their eyes intersected. Balgena handed Du Chen a cold look of "solving it yourself" - the king would never personally confirm in front of countless civilians that the ministers of etiquette and law appointed by him were creating unjust, false and wrong cases, otherwise, where is the prestige of the imperial government? What is the heart of the people? What is the majesty of his king?

Thinking of this, Du Chen felt a stern in his heart, and he looked at Antoine and Angels who had just arrived. Du Chen sneered in his heart, Humph, I know you two immortals will not come forward to clarify for me. You hope I will beg you so that I owe you favors. You can wait, let me see today why the lotus is so brilliant!

Witness Curry pointed at Du Chen, "That's right, he is the murderer!" Looking at Curry's young and tender face, Du Chen frowned fiercely at this moment.

Damn it, Your Majesty refused to help for the sake of reputation, at least he would never help now! So, what should I use to refute Widno!?

The voices of the whispering civilians in the square gathered together, gradually becoming a little harsh.

Just as Du Chen was thinking hard, a faint voice sounded among the civilians who were gradually silent outside the blockade line of the Royal Guards, "Let me go! Please let me go!"

An old man was stopped outside by the guard's spear and shouted loudly: "I am the father of witness Curry, I have a few words to say to my son!"

Widno was stunned, Curry looked panicked, and he unconsciously glanced at his immediate boss sitting on the judges table, the commander of the city guard, and the cold-faced Admiral Kirisek!

With the permission of the Royal Guard, the old man threw away the crutches in his hand and climbed onto the judgment table. His angry face looked particularly eye-catching under the cover of his gray hair.

Widno smiled and said, "This kind old man, you are a civilian, and your words cannot be used as evidence for the finalization of the case! But you should be proud of your son who is not afraid of power?!"

"Proud? I'm really proud! I just say a few words to my son! Isn't this illegal?" The old man looked extremely calm, but he was terriblely calm, just like a sign before a storm! He came to the ku, suddenly raised his hand and slapped his son's face. Then he turned around and smiled at Widno and said, "Great Justice, I'm not illegal to beat my own son, right?"

Widno was speechless.

The old man's crutch was thrown off the stage, he staggered, tremblingly chasing his retreating son step by step, and slapped him again, and he was so angry that he trembled all over, "You beast, come over here!"

Bang! The third slap was stolen on Curry's face, and the old man turned around and bowed to Du Chen who came to support him, "Benefactor, I'm sorry for you!"

Du Chen was stunned. He really had no impression of this old man. He had helped too many old civilians like this...

The old man turned around and pointed at his son, shouting angrily: "Kneel down!"

His trembling fingers kept pointing Curry's forehead. The old man burst into tears and said in a trembling voice: "You are now the master of the City Guard, a god of fighting, and a nobleman! I can't control you anymore! I dare not let you step down..."

"Father..." Curry was about to say something, but he was immediately interrupted by the old man again.

"I'm here to tell you a few things, my honorable adult... Last year, your father was about to die of illness, but he didn't dare to tell his son who was practicing in Berick City. At that time, your father lived in a thatched hut with leaks and was sick and hungry, but he took out all the money from the family for you to study! There was no way, your seventy-year-old father begged in the street and barely survived...

But when your father begged in the north of the city, he was unhappy with a nobleman, but he was thrown into the garbage dump by four or five warriors who were stronger than you, and broke one leg!"

Curry was shocked, "Father, why have you never..."

"Shut up!" The old man was so angry that his chest was fluctuating. He coughed a few times, and then said, "It was thunderstorms that were mixed with trash and blood. Even the kind-hearted poor people on weekdays were unwilling to pay attention to him... In the end, do you know how your father survived! "He raised his tone, "It was Lord Francis who carried your father on his back and ran three streets in the heavy rain, finding the best priest in the imperial capital!"

Curry opened his mouth slightly and stood there.

"Now I'll tell you the second thing. After Lord Francis saved your father, he knew that you were in the Battle of God in Ribeck City, and was eager to pay the money..." The old man choked and couldn't continue.

"Father, my God-Trial Trial fee..."

The old man waved his hand rudely and interrupted him, suddenly bowed to Du Chen again and said tremblingly: "My Lord Francis, my life is given by you. My son can become a God of Fighting God, and it depends entirely on your support! We... our whole family is sorry for you!" The old man seemed to have used up his last strength, and he collapsed weakly on the judgment table. Curry quickly ran to the old man and supported him. The old man pushed Curry away with all his might. Du Chen hurried over and helped him up.

Du Chen helped the old man and sent him to the trial stage, "It's okay, your son is just being used by someone! I don't blame him, he is still too young!"

Sixteen-year-old Francis said such words, which should have caused laughter, but no one could laugh. The civilians remembered Du Chen's usual benefits, and suddenly, the injustice became louder!

"We never believe Lord Francis will commit a crime!"

"Curry, you have to tell the truth!"

Du Chen came to the dazed warehouse and patted his shoulder, "I know, you are affiliated with the city guard. If your boss uses military law to force you to do something, you can't refuse!"

Curry opened his mouth and closed it, his face changing drastically.

Widno's mind changed sharply, and knew that there was a change. He immediately said, "Curry Fighter, your confession has ended. Has Francis helped you before? It will not affect his crime today. You can go down!" He signaled the guard to take Curry away.

It seemed that it was at that moment that Curry seemed to have figured out something. He took off the City Guard sword at his waist and threw it hard on the ground! "Master Boozer, I won't do it anymore! I admit that you used General Kirisek's promotion order to seduce me to accuse Lord Francis!"

Bang!

Kirisek slapped the table, "Curry, you have to think clearly before you can speak!"

Curry gritted his teeth, blushed, and said angrily: "Mr. Francis saved my father's life and offered me a trial of fighting god... If I frame him again, I will be worse than a beast!" He reached out and took out a parchment in his arms, "This is your promotion order, and he told me to accuse Master Francis and promised to be promoted to the captain of the third team!"

Shengbowen Plaza was in an uproar!

Bargena and Ferdinand on the city tower looked at each other, and His Majesty the King shook his head and sighed, thinking to himself that civilians are ignorant and ignorant, and are not enough to accomplish great things, but sometimes, big men will capsize in the small gutter of civilians!

"Your Majesty, you should make a decision, even if it's just for your reputation!" Ferdinand lowered his voice and said softly: "I will cooperate with you!"

Bargena slowly stood up, "Where is the Verne guardian?? Tie Kirisek to me and escort him to the court dungeon!"

Kirisek's expression changed wildly. But at this time, his ally Widno said gloomyly, "I didn't expect that you did this kind of thing, Your Excellency, you framed a nobleman, and you also deceived me... Humph, you must be punished as you deserve!"

"You, you are cruel!" Kirisek suddenly pressed the sword on his waist, but at this moment, Princess Yuna, who had just left, flew over and landed on the judgment table, came to Kirisek's back, smiling beautifully, but what she said in Kirisek's ear made the commander of the Imperial Capital Garrison Army extremely disappointed, "General, I have just taken over your military power. So, for your family and for your decent death, don't resist!"

Kirisek gritted his teeth and whispered: "I am willing to expose Vidno in exchange for His Majesty's forgiveness!"

Yuna shook her head, "Don't you understand the current situation? Let me tell you the truth. Francis attended a royal banquet in the palace early last night because His Majesty named him the earl!" Her volume was controlled quite well, just for Widno on the side to hear it.

The Minister of Etiquette and Law immediately changed his expression! Yona continued, "Your Excellency, you should understand!? In the current situation, you must use a head to calm the public's anger and save your majesty's prestige! Unfortunately, Lord Wiedno is a godborn and a justice representing the justice of the imperial law... Haha! So you can only sacrifice! Sorry!"

Kirisek's face suddenly turned dead, and although Widno knew that His Majesty could not announce in public that his justice had framed others in front of the civilians - so that the law of the empire would lose its prestige. But then... it was over, and he was over. Perhaps, it would be his best ending to fall more decently than Kirisek and leave his life...

At this time, the dissatisfaction of the civilians also expressed, "Damn Kirisek, he must be punished!"

"Oh my God, he actually dared to deceive the justice and frame such a kind Lord Francis..."

Balgena's loud and majestic voice sounded, "My people, I am very sad today because one of my generals did such a shameless thing! I have a responsibility for this matter!" Balgena sighed deeply, but he thought in his heart that the best way to divert the attention of civilians is Francis! "But that's fine, a borer in the imperial government was revealed, and it turns out that Francis deserves the honor of the virtues of St. John's City. He is a role model for all officials of the Empire to learn from!"

Sure enough, when Du Chen was mentioned, the civilians immediately cheered.

Balgena smiled, "In addition, today I have another thing to announce that Francis has made great contributions to the disaster relief in the south of the empire, and has made contributions to the empire! He must receive the reward he deserves. I announce that Francis will be granted the title of Earl of the Empire and the lord of the eight hundred miles of land along the Newin River!"

"Wow!" The surprise of the civilians sounded. In their eyes, this was a great gift. I don't know who started, but gradually, the voice of "praise for Francis" became louder and louder.

At this time, Curry, who was perjury, lowered his head sadly. He knew that although he exposed the conspiracy of the imperial general, his future was completely over in the aristocratic circle... but he did not regret it!

Curry raised his head and suddenly saw Du Chen looking at him kindly. Then, Lord Francis bowed to His Majesty and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I ask you, although Curry has committed perjury, he has also exposed Kirisek's conspiracy! Your sage king with clear rewards and punishments are well known to the world, so I ask you to give Curry the reward you deserve! And his crime... I am willing to announce the forgiveness of him as the victim, ask the Holy Church to forgive his sins as a descendant, and be willing to pay all the atonement money for him!"

After His Majesty Balgena nodded, the cheers of the civilians reached their peak. Gradually, the voice of "Praise Francis" changed to,
To be continued...
