By order of the Empress.

The court buildings at all levels of the Delun Empire are almost identical in appearance, with a spired tower in the center, and a boxy fortress-like podium on both sides, which is thick and majestic, to highlight the solemnity and sacredness of the imperial law.

The court building is made of white stones, and the whole body is bright white, to show that the law cannot be defiled.

Tulun Port is rich, the district court building is built magnificently, covers an extremely wide area, two large squares in front of the main gate and outside the back door, fountains gushing, flowers and plants, are the top three leisure squares in Tulun Port, the area is second only to the Queen's Square.

Walking down the high steps into the court building, in the middle of the hall on the first floor of the Tulun Port District Court, stands a large sculpture more than 20 feet high.

The golden one, which represents the balance of absolute justice, is entwined by a bronze hydra.

Sunlight shone through the glass dome in the middle of the hall, shining on the huge golden scales. Nine huge and hideous snake heads with scarlet eyes wrapped around the exquisitely carved golden scales, adding a bit of ferocity to the sculpture out of thin air, making people shudder.

After noon, with a small gavel hanging from his waist, Tifa and several classmates who were also probationary judges and graduated from the judicial college at the same time, discussed the Mid-Autumn Bloody Incident in Tulun Port with serious faces, and at the same time debated the legal disputes and various consequences that might be caused by this incident, and went all the way down from the courtroom floor on the third floor to prepare to eat in the restaurant on the first floor of the east podium.

Discussing issues seriously all the way, Tifa and several colleagues were in a good mood, and even Tifa had a faint smile on his face.

After all, it's a pleasure to be able to enjoy a midday meal right away.

The port of Tulum is financially strong and the welfare of the local courts is excellent.

The cafeteria on the first floor of the podium is open free of charge to all court staff, including informal hired workers. The full and senior judges of the Court have separate private dining rooms to enjoy and can order according to the weekly menu.

Probationary judges like Tifa also have their own clean seats, and probationary judges cannot order food at will, but they have more than 30 different flavors of exquisite set menus for them to choose from every week.

Originally, the food in the Tulun Port Court was already excellent, and after Tifa graduated from the judicial college, Lia was afraid that Tifa's appetite would deteriorate, so after a little operation, she went to the restaurant of the Tulun Port Court and stuffed a few top chefs in Tulun Port.

The official restaurant of the Tulun Port Court has been transformed into a local style restaurant with the best craftsmanship and the best flavor in Tulun Port. During Tifa's internship, the average weight of the Tulum Port Court staff increased by more than ten pounds.

Coming to the 'Judicial Scales' sculpture on the first floor, the cute girl who walked side by side with Tifa with light blonde hair, a small round face, and a puff puff swallowed hard.

"Tifa, help me think about it, I'll wait, do you want a caviar set, or a sea bream set? Or, the best frosted beef set? Or maybe a deep-sea octopus with sea urchin combo? Ah, why are there so many options? Charyl, who is also a probationary judge and Tifa's best friend, grabbed her loose hair in distress.

Tifa subconsciously touched her belly, and she muttered softly: "I never choose obstacles, I will take a portion of each of the set meals you just mentioned, and then eat them cleanly." ”

At present, Tifa has replied inexplicably from the bad mood of early yesterday morning to the present.

She laughed a few times, and the small gavel hanging from her waist seemed to be much lighter.

Charyl stared at Tifa angrily.

is so able to eat, and the food you can eat every day is several times that of yourself; It can be eaten like this, but there is no fat on the slender waist. Look at yourself, the originally delicate melon seed face, after a few years of internship, has become a small round face!

"Tifa!" Charyl whispered to Tifa with a resentful growl.

"Lord Tifa!" A shrill voice came from not far away, and three ragged women, two middle-aged men who were also in tattered clothes, and a group of five people hurriedly ran towards Tifa and them.

In the hall on the first floor, there are dozens of bailiffs directly under the court on duty, after all, Tulun Port has not been peaceful these days.

Seeing this group of five people rushing towards Tifa, several bailiffs were about to rush over and shout loudly, Tifa waved his hand lightly, and these bailiffs hesitated for a moment, and stopped at the same time.

Tifa is a probationary judge, and he is about to be promoted to a full judge, and in terms of status, he is a big cut above them.

Not to mention, these bailiffs have seen the terrifying combat power of Tifa when he is furious, and a dozen big men are not enough for her to pinch with one hand. As for these five civilians, the bailiffs were not afraid of what they would do.

"Aunt Aina, what's wrong? Your family's case was closed last week. Could it be that the other party's compensation has not been paid? Tifa's craving for food disappeared in an instant, her face became extremely gloomy, and she said coldly: "If they maliciously default on compensation, then, I will personally bring the bailiff of the enforcement court to have a good talk with them." ”

A group of five people hurriedly came to Tifa, and in the middle, a woman of about fifty years old, Aina, hurriedly shook her head, she said with a trembling face: "Lord Tifa, we are here this time......

As Aina spoke, the two middle-aged men behind them raised their heads at the same time, and with strange and hideous smiles, they flipped their hands, and each hand showed a double-barreled flintlock flint.

The four firearms were aimed at Tifa at the same time, and then a few gunshots rang out, and eight specially made weighted lead bullets whizzed towards Tifa's slender body.

Tifa frowned, and the small gavel around her waist let out a thunderous roar, and she swung the small gavel, 'dong dong dong' eight consecutive heavy blows.

Eight lead bullets that were close at hand, shooting at a high speed of nearly 1,000 feet per second, were hammered into a thin lead cake by Tifa's small mallet, and fell heavily to the ground.

On the snow-white marble floor beneath Tifa's feet, eight bowl-sized holes were punched out.

Dozens of bailiffs on duty roared angrily, and they all drew their swords at their waists and rushed towards this side in a rage.

The two middle-aged men dropped their firearms, drew their short knives, and pounced on Tifa.

With a flick of the gavel, the chests of the two men sank, and they vomited blood, and flew backwards involuntarily, and their feet flew nearly a hundred feet away from the ground, and then they fell heavily on the ground.

Dozens of bailiffs swarmed up and handcuffed the hands and feet of the two men in three or two strokes.

The blood that spurted out the mouths of the two men quickly turned from bright red to black and purple. A bailiff captain reached out and pressed their necks, gasped in shock, and turned around and shouted, "Lord Tifa, they committed suicide by poisoning." This is, Dead Man! ”

'Boom'!

A faint cannon shot came from the dock area, the same one from which Joe and Lieutenant Allen were attacked.

Tifa frowned and looked at the three middle-aged women in front of her, who were trembling and had fallen to their knees in fright.

"Lord Tifa...... We are forced! Aunt Aina screamed hoarsely.

"The murder of the Imperial judicial officer, according to the maximum punishment, all three of you, will be hanged in public." Tifa looked at the three weeping women with an expressionless face: "Of course, if you can make meritorious contributions, you can reduce your guilt." ”

More than a dozen heavily armed guards from the Vetto family who were guarding outside the courthouse rushed in in a rage and rushed to Tifa's side in a puff of smoke.

Looking at the eight huge craters at Tifa's feet, the leader of these guards, a one-eyed dragon with a fierce face, gritted his teeth, pointed at the three women and sneered, "Miss, give them to us." ”

Tifa shook his head: "Everything will be handled in accordance with normal legal procedures." You, as good citizens, should be there to help. ”

The one-eyed dragon's teeth rattled: "Miss, don't worry, we are the most law-abiding and good citizens in the entire Tulun Port. We even pay taxes according to the law! ”

As he spoke, a faint roar came from high in the sky.

Through the 60-foot-high bronze gate of the courthouse, you can see a rocket rushing up half a day high in the dock area, and then a golden rose blooms in the air.

"Enemy attack!" The one-eyed dragon roared, and more than a dozen of the Vetul's guards quickly surrounded Tifa in the center.

"Miss, please allow us to escort you to the dean's office for a while." The one-eyed dragon looked at Tifa very seriously.

'Whoosh'......'Bang'!

A second rocket burst into the sky from the front square of the courthouse, and then exploded into a cloud of golden roses.

When the second rocket exploded, Leah was sitting in a four-wheeled carriage, and on the small table in front of her lay a huge snack box filled with all kinds of pastries and snacks that she had worked so hard to make since early in the morning.

More than 20 family guards rode Gong Weiwei, and the four-wheeled carriage left the Weitu family mansion in the middle of the mountain, and followed the winding mountain road, heading towards the tail of the Houtan District at the foot of the mountain.

At the intersection of Houtan District and St. Hilde Hill, there is a Yingui Cathedral that is far less large than St. Hilde's Cathedral, but it is more than ten times wider than the ordinary people's mansions.

This is the cathedral dedicated to the god of the moon, the lord of cinnamon, the founder of the Medland wine industry, the patron of all good arts, the benevolent Muthester.

The Silver Cinnamon Church Girls' School is located on the east side of this cathedral, and as long as there are enough families in Tulun Port, they will send their girls here to receive enlightenment and primary education.

"Weima, Weima, don't be naughty, if you wait for the grandmothers to complain to me, you'll be finished!" The carriage drove briskly down the road, and Leah stroked the snack box in front of her, whispering in a whisper.

In front of the road, at the junction leading to the Houtan District, several horse-repellent stakes blocked the road, and a group of more than 30 soldiers wearing iron-gray uniforms and carrying flintlock rifles stood behind the stakes.

Seeing Leah's carriage coming, an officer-like man stepped forward, raised his right hand and shouted, "Stop, check." We suspect that there is a suspect hidden in your car. ”

Leah's voice came from the carriage, "You are the Tulum port garrison?" ”

The man narrowed his eyes: "We are the garrison of Tulun Port, dear lady, please get out of the car and cooperate with the inspection!" ”

Leah let out a sharp whistle.

More than two dozen guards of the Vetus family pulled their firearms from their waists and fired at these soldiers indiscriminately.

The two sides were less than twenty feet apart, and in the loud 'boom' sound, nearly twenty soldiers fell to the ground with convulsions, while the remaining dozen or so screamed loudly and fell to the ground in embarrassment.

'Whoosh'......' 'Bang', and a third golden rose burst out at the foot of Mont Saint-Held.
