Chapter 196: Making a Big 'News' (Part II)
Compared with the ever-changing new town, the old town is not too much.
Although there were no changes to the previous 'aristocratic district', the temple area was renovated by allowing the city hall to be renovated, and in addition to the shrine, many more buildings were added to the temple area, and the original square was greatly expanded.
As a result, a building is located between the temples.
The building wasn't huge, and compared to the magnificent temple next to it, it was a bit 'small'.
But whoever it was, whether it was a hawker or a temple guard at his post, a passerby or a priest hurrying to and fro, their eyes couldn't help but glance over there.
That's the 'court' - the 'court' of Windcity!
There was no court in Wende City, first, there was no money to build it, and if anyone broke the law and committed a crime, no matter what crime was committed and the severity of the crime, it was all judged by the lord or other nobles as judges, and people could only watch from the side, and the judge could sentence whatever he wanted;
Only a few countries that are more civilized and orderly will have a separate 'court', but the way of judgment is still very simple and barbaric - the judge can be bribed, the jury can be bribed, as long as they are bought, then even if they are 'guilty', they can be 'acquitted'.
The same is true of Cloudsdale, it's just that their judges and juries are 'hard' to buy.
However, no matter where you are, in any corner of the world of Assatom, as long as you are still in human society, the 'aristocracy' is an existence that cannot be sentenced.
The 'nobility', no matter which country's 'nobility', even if it is only a baron of a small country, cannot be judged by law.
The laws of most countries were used to govern the people, and there was no way to bind the nobility, like Krylov III, and it was only an excuse to deal with the nobility.
No one really looks at the behavior of a nobleman from a legal point of view, whether he has broken the law or not, they always have an excuse to shirk, and their status is their 'gold medal for avoiding death' - because they are nobles, they don't have to die.
Unless they are 'treason' and 'betrayal of humanity', as long as the nobles are still nobles, then they will not die, at most they will only be imprisoned, and they will have food and drink, books to read, and excellent treatment.
Hardly any nobleman would have been stripped of his title for 'breaking the law', but after the court was built, there was the first case.
'Let the gods bear witness to the justice of this world—justice to the wronged!'
It was a line engraved below the word 'court', only slightly smaller than the 'court' above, hanging high above the gate and visible if you looked up slightly.
Now this newly completed court is dealing with the first case before it!
In the world of Assatom, there is not much dispute between the divine and the king, because the gods and mortals rule the world together, and the lord is responsible for ruling the world.
The nobility is a 'privilege' in itself, and no one can restrain them, not even their monarch.
Because unless a nobleman is disgusted by all nobles, if a nobleman is moved, it is to move the interests of the entire aristocratic circle, and the emperor who is as strong as the Ogordon Empire does not dare to punish the nobles easily, it is because of 'pulling a hair and moving the whole body', the nobles are grouped, not to fight against the monarch at first, but to make the monarch have scruples, so that the monarch cannot easily do anything to them, so that the monarch understands that he must weigh before he starts.
But over time, it slowly developed into what it is now.
People gathered outside the courthouse, waiting for the final outcome with great anticipation.
The eyes of the temple guards next to them would involuntarily aim at the gate of the court, clenching the handle of the gun in their hands to relieve the excitement in their hearts.
"It's finally here......"
Bishop Pelonandi stood outside the gates of the Temple of Radiance, flanked by Bishop Holt and several priests.
Bishop Holt on the side also sighed: "This can no longer be said to be a maverick, you say, after this 'trial', how much will the nobles in other places react?"
Bishop Pelonandi smiled and shook his head, "Don't say it's any other place, maybe it's coming to the Sad Wind Leader...... The nobles in the Goure Wind Principality will all scold that maid master, right? She is too bold, and her steps are too big, and she is really not afraid of being pulled back by those nobles?"
Speaking of this, the two bishops glanced at each other, and suddenly fell silent.
This reminds them of the tragedy that happened some time ago, although this 'trial' has nothing to do with that tragedy, but when it comes to the 'nobles who pull their legs', they think of the 'Baron Wagler' who is already dead.
"Forget it, let him pass the past, the lord and the maid have already avenged them...... Alas!"
Remembering that it was a nobleman, and that it was also a nobleman who was being 'judged' inside, Bishop Holt felt like vomiting.
Unlike the noise outside the courtroom, the nobles standing in the dock in the courtroom were at a loss, the former finance minister was in a trance, and his people were looking around in a daze, or crying that they had been wronged......
But if there was no solid evidence, they wouldn't be here now.
The black dragon and the maid sat in the jurors' seats and enjoyed the performances of the 'defendants', and to be honest, their acting skills were quite good.
Before the court was completed, they were detained and locked in jail with 'nothing' – except for food and water and a bed to rest on, there was only a toilet for excretion.
'Nothing', yes, no afternoon tea, no red wine, no maids, just a toilet full of excrement – they need to clean it up themselves!
Moreover, a cell is not only for one person, but for at least four people, and there are only vicious jailers, who can't even see the warden.
Why? Why is this happening? Aren't they nobles? How could that damn bitch do this to them?
Just as they kept secretly cursing the 'head maid' in their hearts, they were invited out of the cell by the jailer, and then they began to be arrogant, and mocked the jailers in a strange way, but they did not see the jailer's smiling appearance after the jailer.
Until they were brought here...... They began to panic.
"No, Lord Maid, we'...... I've been wronged!"
One of the treasurer's clansmen cried: "I don't dare to spend a single copper coin, you ...... You should have seen it when you asked people to check it, I didn't dare to spend a single copper, it was all there! I used my own savings, all my own money. I, I was wronged!"
"Puff ......"
Because of the man's words, I don't know who laughed, broke the silence and solemnity of the courtroom, and then everyone laughed, including the man's kindred, but they sneered sarcastically.
"Ahem, silence!
The judge smiled and tapped the gavel, "This is the courtroom, it's all quiet!"
The people laughed for a while and then fell silent, while the former Minister of Finance, 'Igor Young', kept staring at the judge with vacant eyes, or rather, he was looking at the mirror hanging behind the judge.
This mirror symbolizes the 'mirror hanging', and it seems a bit nondescript to be placed in a courtroom, but none of the people present feel anything strange, because at the beginning of the design, this mirror has been designed into the overall design of the courtroom, and naturally it will not appear abrupt.
Igor Young looked in the mirror and looked at himself in the mirror, dirty, like a dirty tramp.
"No, you can't do that!"
Igor Young realized where he was and where he stood now, and he came to his senses.
"I'm a noble—"
Suddenly, he cried out, "You cannot judge me!"
