Chapter 197: Making a Big 'News' (Part II)
The judge was stunned for a moment, pretended to look at what he had at hand, and then shook his head a little dazedly, "Mr. Igor Young, there is no record of the regulations in which nobles can be exempted from punishment, so what you said is not true. I suggest you think about it, there is still some time before the trial, and in this time you can think about how to defend yourself, and it is about what kind of punishment you will receive, I-"
However, before the judge could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by the unkempt old man, "Didn't you hear!!?
"Uh......"
Faced with this former aristocrat who was so stubborn that he might even be a little mentally ill, the young Judge Yitzhak glanced at the judge's robe on his body, and could only scratch the back of his head and say: "Mr. Igor Young, His Majesty Krylov III has recognized our sovereignty, and the Sadwind Territory can now be said to be the 'Duchy of Sorrowful', and the era of nobility as a privilege has passed......"
His face suddenly turned solemn, and his expression was awe-inspiring, "You are now just an old stubborn, 'former nobleman' who can't keep up with the times, and when you are imprisoned, the Yang family's title has already been stripped away." This is not good news for you, but I will say, 'You are no longer a nobleman,' Mr. Young!"
"And what if you're still a nobleman?" Judge Yitzhak tilted his head and looked at the 'criminals' with a smile on his face.
The people of the Yang family have fallen into a kind of sluggishness, and even the person who 'cried' that 'he was wronged' just now has stopped his performance.
"No, it can't ......"
Igor Jan shook his body, his hands were on the railing in front of him, and the shackles on his ankles made a crisp and 'piercing' sound, and some nobles did not dare to continue looking.
But remembering the order of the chief maid, they sat in the jurors' chairs in fear, and did not dare to move.
"No, you're lying to me...... You're lying to me!!"
"Impossible, this can't be ......"
"How is the inheritance of the Yang family possible, how can my title be ......"
Igor Jan held his head and muttered to himself in pain.
"Uncle ......"
Igor Young looked back blankly, and a middle-aged man asked bitterly, "What did you do...... What the hell have you done?!"
"What did I do?" Igor Jan was a little confused, he looked down at his hands, which were covered with wrinkles, "I, I didn't do anything......"
"What did I do...... What did I do?!" Igor Young asked.
Judge Yitzhak didn't even look at the information, "What did you do? Corruption! The most important thing is this, but other than that, you didn't do anything illegal or criminal." ”
"That's it?"
Igor Young clenched the chest-high railing and roared angrily: "Just because of this?!"
"That's it!" Judge Yitzhak shrugged.
It was not only Igor Young who was outraged, but also his people, and the nobles on the jury bench looked at each other with a wordless fear in their eyes.
"How dare you—" Igor Jan clutched his collar in pain, gasping for breath and his heart beating so fast that it felt like it was about to explode, "you, how dare you do this to me...... I, I'm a nobleman!"
Yitzhak also felt a little helpless, and sighed, "It's all said, Mr. Igor, you are no longer a nobleman, and the title of the Yang family has been——"
"I'm a nobleman! Let me go! Let me go!"
Igor Jan did not listen to Yitzhak's explanation, but clamored to leave.
Yitzhak glanced at the people behind him who had also begun to heckle, and his heart was a little tired.
Bang!
"Silence!"
The gavel fell, and Yitzhak let out a loud cry, and his voice stopped abruptly.
Igor Young and his people touched their throats and found that they could not even speak a word now...... Panic began to spread among them!
The courtroom was designed to be large from the start, just like now, the dock has been crammed with a dozen people, but it is still somewhat spacious.
The former deputy finance minister, and now the finance minister, is sitting on the 'plaintiff's bench', he feels that there must be many people watching him now, but he doesn't care anymore, only following all the instructions of the maid is the 'truth', he doesn't want to be like the Yang family, the whole family is in prison.
With the gavel in hand, Yitzhak sat on the judgment bench and looked down at the panicked 'defendants', with a sneer on his face, "Why don't you understand people? Do you have to use the power of the judge? You are not a nobleman now, you are nothing—oh no, you are now 'prisoners'!"
"Embezzlement is not a felony? Sorry, times are different. You have not only embezzled but also embezzled along with your clansmen, and used your power to help your clansmen monopolize the market, which has constituted a criminal offense, and the stakes are significant, and it has been calculated that the amount of money you have embezzled over the years has reached ......"
Speaking of which, even though he had already seen it once, Yitzhak couldn't help but gasp, "That's as many as 217,000 gold coins!"
All the nobles present widened their eyes and looked at the people of the Yang family in disbelief, thinking, 'They're finished!'
"Even now, excluding the expenses, counting all the income, it would take three or four years for the Sadwind Collar to earn so much money. ”
Yitzhak held back his anger, but couldn't help but grit his teeth and said: "Mr. Igor Young, you and your family have illegally occupied public property as high as '217,000 gold coins' in the past 30 years, I don't know what justification you have for this?"
Yitzhak pinched the gavel, and Igor Young found that he could speak again, so he muttered: "But I, I'm a nobleman...... You can't just strip the Yang family of their titles!"
Then those present found that the judge was silent, his right hand clutching the handle of the gavel, his eyes fixed on Igor Young, and he did not say a word.
The black dragon's eyes were full of anger when he learned this amount for the first time, and Erlang's legs were shaking irritably, if it wasn't for the maid pressing him, he might have pounced and tore all the people apart!
"There's so much 'just' to find out!"
Yitzhak put down the gavel and said softly: "Lowering the price of purchased grain, colluding with officials and businessmen to cut corners during town repairs, reselling contraband, etc., etc., what you are best at is making fake accounts, and this fake account has been done for more than 30 years, and you have never thought about the sad wind from the beginning." Let me ask, which country or place has the law clearly pointed out that the 'nobles' cannot be punished by law?"
"This is the ...... of the Sad Wind"
Suddenly, Yitzhak became hideous, slapped the table hard, and said, "This is our 'Princely Sorrow'! I was born here and grew up here, so I don't fucking know that there is such a disgusting 'thing' as you in my beloved homeland!"
"What does the unspoken rule between the nobles matter to me - this is the 'Duchy of Sorrow'!"
"What does it matter to me that outsiders question me - this is the 'Principality of Sorrow'!"
"Aristocrats?" Yitzhak sneered, "Fuck the nobility!"
At this moment, the entire courtroom was silent.
Yitzhak sat on the judgment seat and looked at everyone, and the nobles did not dare to say a word, and the people of the Yang family, including Igor Young, thought that this guy was crazy.
"You, you're crazy......" One of the Yang family pointed at Yitzhak with trembling fingers.
"No, he's not crazy!"
The maid glanced at the man, turned her head and said, "Judge Yitzhak, the time is up, please hold the court." ”
Itzhak nodded, took a deep breath, and the gavel fell again.
"Court opens!"
