Chapter 750: Public Trial
Altai camp - conference room
Helina, who was busy at the conference room desk, frowned slightly when she heard what Nebula had recounted.
Helina held her chin lightly and whispered: "I didn't expect this little kid Coren to be so ignorant, I originally planned to wait for the establishment of a new city to clean him up, since he did such a thing to Roxia, he should also have the corresponding consciousness!" β
"It's just....... This matter is just what you said personally, it can't be regarded as evidence, if there is no convincing evidence for everyone, Coren can completely lie and say that you deliberately framed him! Helina bit her thumb and said with some difficulty.
There is circumstantial evidence that Coren used the power of the Chamber of Commerce to conduct forced transactions between ordinary residents and down-and-out nobles, and illegally mined the magical gem veins of our Anti-Dark Mage Alliance, but these alone cannot directly identify the Salast Chamber of Commerce.
After hearing Helina's statement, Nebula chuckled and said to Helina, "Regarding the matter of evidence, you can rest assured! As long as you give me a chance to put things on the bright side!! β
Seeing Nebula's confident appearance, Helina began to wonder, what kind of evidence did this kid Nebula get, and he dared to pack a ticket like this!? Since Nebula dared to be so sure, then Nebula naturally had strong evidence that was enough to severely damage or even bring down Coren.
Helina is not an indecisive person, Helina immediately opened the magic crystal used for communication on the desk, and said loudly to the magic crystal: "All the residents of the Altai camp, gather in the camp square in half an hour, I, Helina, will participate in the public trial of the president of the Salast Chamber of Commerce, together with the three elders, the presidents of the chambers of commerce, and the patriarchs of the families!" β
Helina's words, accompanied by the loudspeaker connected by the magic crystal, spread throughout the camp in just a few seconds, and the people who heard the news were like a pot of porridge.
After hearing this, the poor and orphans who knew Coren's true face finally changed their depressed faces and showed a rare smile.
And the chambers of commerce, families, and down-and-out nobles who don't know what Koren is think think it's just that Koren has offended the majesty of Helina, and Helena wants to scare and scare him.
After all, Cologne's father sacrificed himself for the preservation of everyone, and Coren also generously distributed a large amount of food, if Helina attacked the Saraster Chamber of Commerce with kindness and self, I am afraid that most of the chamber of commerce and family support will be lost........
β ?????????????????? β
Half an hour laterβ
In addition to the four elders, there were also six influential chambers of commerce, family presidents, and patriarchs, one of whom was the president of the Salast Chamber of Commerce-Cologne.
Although Coren had broken his limbs by Nebula and had suffered several air blasts, most of these were external injuries, and most of them were healed after Nebula poured a bottle of all-purpose healing medicine.
After Coren was brought back to the Chamber of Commerce, the butler also specially applied Coren with rare herbs with strong healing effects, if it weren't for the public trial, I'm afraid that Coren's body would be restored in another day.
Outside the square, there were a crowd of onlookers, except for the poor and orphans who had been oppressed by Cologne, most of the rest came to see the excitement.
Because of the rampant monsters, people can't get out of the camp, and due to the lack of resources, the camp has not held decent activities, and for people who are bored, this public trial is undoubtedly the best spice for life.
Helina coughed lightly twice, held the magic crystal connected to the loudspeaker, and began to say loudly: "Now~~~ We will start a public trial of President Coren of the Salast merchants, President Cologne, please come forward!" β
Coren slowly walked up to the makeshift wooden platform with the support of the butler, and Coren stared at the Roxia under the stage with an almost murderous gaze.
However, when Colon saw the nebula smiling innocently beside Roxia and waving his little paws at him, Colon immediately broke out in a cold sweat the size of a bean grain from his forehead, and his legs trembled.
If it weren't for the help of the butler beside him, I'm afraid Coren would have collapsed to the ground.
After Herina made a silent gesture, the crowd in the audience, the president of the Chamber of Commerce, and the patriarchs of the family on the stage all stopped talking.
Helina didn't do too much embellishment, and went straight to the topic: "Louis, the president of the Salast Chamber of Commerce, reached an agreement with our Anti-Dark Mage Alliance half a year ago, and with his sacrifice and the chamber of commerce's guards, we took special care of the Salast Chamber of Commerce. At least one-third of the cargo carried by the fugitive ship belonged to the Salast Chamber of Commerce, which took up a large part of the space, and Coren had promised that the food carried would be distributed to everyone on board. β
However, after gaining a foothold in this Altai camp, Koren began to reduce the food supply to the poor and orphans by hiding food. Not only did this go against the previous agreement, but it even led to the emergence of several civilians who had fallen from starvation, so I called everyone to a public trial of Koren! Helina pointed the finger at Koren and said sharply to Koren.
Koren waved his lightly injured left hand and retorted to Helina, "It's all just speculation, Captain Helina, what evidence do you have that I have hidden the grain?" Deliberately withholding food from the poor and orphans? β
Helina looked at the nebula under the lookout and found that the nebula had no intention of moving, so she coughed lightly and said to Coren, "Then let's comment on the other things first........ Cologne, you forcibly persecuted Condesson, Jacente, Bora with the rights of the Salast Chamber of Commerce....... Wait for twenty-five small rich commoners and down-and-out nobles to buy the cloth sewn by your Chamber of Commerce at an unbelievably high price! Twenty-five of them can testify to this! Also, a month ago, Elder Rhodes discovered a vein of rare magical gems near the Moss Mushroom Forest, which had been marked with the emblem of our Anti-Dark Mage Alliance, but most of the vein was violently collected while we were making our mining plan, causing about half of the Magical Gem Mother Mine to become waste, and in the hands of the caretaker of the vein, we found a piece of rag with the coat of arms of the Salast Chamber of Commerce........."
In this way, Helina gorgeously accused Koren of the ten sins on stage, but there was only circumstantial evidence to prove these crimes.
In the face of Helina's accusations, Coren cleverly defended: "Captain Helina! I listened quietly to your accusations, and these charges were directed at our Salast Chamber of Commerce, but don't you think it's too much of a coincidence? Condeson, Jacente, Bora........ These commoners and down-and-out nobles usually don't have a good relationship with our Salast family, maybe they have joined forces to deliberately frame my Salast family?! Also, I really don't know about the veins! The rag in the guard's hand with the coat of arms of the Salast Chamber of Commerce painted on it may be the other chambers of commerce that are jealous of the status of our Salast Chamber of Commerce, and blame our chamber of commerce.........."
In the face of Helina's accusations, Koren only has three words - no admission!
Because there is no definite evidence, there is no way to convict Cologne, not to mention that Coren keeps playing the emotional card, praising how his father Louis heroically sacrificed himself to protect everyone, and scolds Helina for listening to the villain's words and planning to cross the river and tear down the bridge.
At this time, Nebula, West Win, and the other orphans walked up to the wooden platform together, accusing Coren of reducing the food that the orphans were entitled to, so that the orphans had to go out to forage for food, and could only eat thin snail porridge and mushroom porridge.......
In the face of the fierce crusade of the orphans, Coren glanced at the nebula and said something rebuttal with a shudder.
All in all, Coren is asking for evidence, and if there is no evidence, he will not admit anything!
Nebula chuckled and placed a large light blue crystal ball in his hand in the center of the plaza stands, where Nebula had been under the stage to draw this radiating magic pattern, which could make the image of the crystal ball magnified and projected in the air.
Coren never thought that when Nebula was pushed out of bed, Nebula had already taken out the recording crystal ball and turned on the recording function.
Originally, Nebula thought that Coren was Roxia's suitor and wanted to record Cologne's embarrassment after being rejected, but he didn't expect to record such shocking content.........
From Coren choking Roxia's neck and dragging Roxia's braid and smashing it on the medicine cabinet, to Cologne's threat to stop distributing food to orphans, asking Roxia to comply, and finally to the scene where Coren attacked Roxia with eyes and was stopped by Nebula........
'Kao! You'll regret it!! I'll let you know what happens if you disobey me in the camp!! From now on, in addition to you and Roxia, there will also be those poor orphans! We, the Salast Chamber of Commerce, will not give you even a grain of grain!! At the end of the video, Kologna's rampant threat resounded throughout the Altai camp.
Of course, the last part of Nebula venting for Luo Xia has been deleted, and the bloody scene for the crowd to see will definitely be so frightened that they can't sleep.
Seeing this, Coren sat on the ground in despair, even if the previous charges could not be determined, this image alone was enough to make his reputation fall to the bottom and leave a stench for ten thousand years.
The onlookers also began to spontaneously denounce Cologne, constantly booing with contempt. Due to the shortage of supplies, the masses were reluctant to throw eggs and lettuce, but stones and dirt were everywhere, and in just a few minutes, Coren's side was already flooded with mud, and if it wasn't for Helina to stop it, I'm afraid that in another two minutes, Coren would have been buried alive.
However, in this way, Helina will have even more headaches, judging from the current situation, if Koren is not executed, it will be difficult for the people to complain, but if Koren is directly executed, the Salast Chamber of Commerce may have a great backlash, which is very unfavorable to the establishment of the new city.
At this moment, Xingyun took the form of spiritual power transmission and passed a word to Helina, after hearing what Xingyun said, Helina glanced at Xingyun in horror, and then silently lowered her head and coughed lightly twice, and said to everyone: "Ahem~~~~ Since the evidence is conclusive, then I will issue a final verdict to Koren now!" Salast. Cologne, for violating Article 23, paragraph 1, Article 71, paragraph 3, paragraph 2, Article 103, paragraph 1, and Article 37 of the Provisional Supplementary Treaty.......... and so on, and now the verdict is as follows!! β
"Coren was guilty of breach of contract, theft, and extortion....... and other seventeen crimes, which should have been sentenced to death, but because of the righteous act of his father Louis, the sentence was commuted to permanent imprisonment! No release until death!! Helina read her verdict to the crowd.
"No objection~~" Rod said in a deep voice with a slight frown.
"No objection!" Cantellon rubbed his nose and said loudly.
"My Phil has no objection!" Phil looked thoughtfully at Cologne's chest and whispered.
After the ruling of the four elders, Coren was immediately escorted back to the Chamber of Commerce by the guards of the Salast Chamber of Commerce and sent to the small black room.
When everyone thought that this was the end of the matter.......
Three days later β
The Salast Chamber of Commerce reported that Coren had committed suicide due to inexplicable ulcers all over his body and unbearable itching, and his death was very tragic.........
