Chapter 652: The Royal Court
I don't know how long it took, but just when Xia Feng was about to vomit in the car, the car finally stopped.
"Squeak!"
The iron door of the carriage was opened.
After Xia Feng jumped down in handcuffs, sure enough, it was already dark.
"Where are we, are we still in Victoria?"
"Let's go, this is Lentinium."
Then Xia Feng learned that his current location was north of Victoria, and the prison car ran for a whole day, taking him to the capital of Victoria, Lentinium, far from the city of Harpy.
.....
The night sky was dark, and the stars and moon were not visible.
Xia Feng was escorted into a large, heavily guarded courtyard by a dozen sturdy soldiers, which looked like a prison from the outside.
But unlike an ordinary prison, the buildings around the courtyard are quite luxuriously decorated, with a strong Victorian style, except for the guards standing guard on the watchtowers at the four corners, the courtyard is deserted.
Later, Xia Feng learned that this place where solemnity and luxury coexisted was called the [Victoria Royal Detention Center].
As the name suggests, this is a place where criminal suspects are held and awaiting the verdict of the court, but unlike ordinary detention centers, it is all held by the aristocratic class who are suspected of crimes.
In the country of Victoria, there is no such thing as the Son of Heaven committing the same crime as the common people, of course, it does not mean that some specific groups of people can break the law casually, and the royal family has special laws for special criminals.
The functions of the Royal Court are:
Judgment and trial of offenders with special status, including but not limited to, members of the nobility of all classes, non-Victorian citizens with sensitive status, members of the royal family, imperial officials at or above the municipal level, and imperial officials above the rank of major general.
Because of the different identities, the Royal Court will consider many factors in the judgment of the suspects.
For example, the right to exercise the privileges of the nobility, the right to make temporary decisions on the secret operations of the military region, etc., will also be given a lighter or heavier judgment based on family history and past history.
....
To be honest, Xia Feng didn't know why he was brought to the royal court, and theoretically, he was not a real nobleman now.
At the same time, he is not a military man.
The Director of the Inspectorate, who had just arrested him at the Royal Academy, said he had been charged with several crimes.
If you want to say whether he has committed a crime, judging from Victorian law, it should be a crime, and there are quite a few, but Xia Feng still can't figure out what this "several" includes.
And judging from the fact that he will be brought to the royal court, other nobles should be involved.
....
Before the handover, the director of the Supervision Department who had arrested him during the day walked up to Xia Feng and reminded him in a whisper.
"Xia Feng, I know that you are not an ordinary person, but I advise you not to seek death by yourself, this is Lentinium, there are 2 detachments of the Central Army stationed near this detention center, and there are a full 400,000 regular troops outside the city."
Subsequently, Xia Feng was handed over to the people here.
Weapons, mobile phones, wallets and other personal belongings were confiscated, and Xia Feng was imprisoned in a separate room in the [Royal Detention Center].
...
This is a single room located on the fourth floor.
His handcuffs had been lifted, and of course it didn't matter to him whether he was released or not, and he didn't plan to break out of prison anyway.
This is not Longmen, but his nest Victoria, as long as he is not sentenced to death in a daze, he still has a chance to turn around.
But if he escapes from prison, then it can basically be announced that Black Feather is disbanded on the spot, and everything he did before is all Mu Da.
The fact that General Gleason called him at the last minute was proof that the incident had been detected, and there was no doubt that it was a plot specially planned against him.
...
Xia Feng fell headlong on the cold bed, and a deep sense of exhaustion swept through his body.
In fact, now that I calm down and think about it, although Marenleg cheated him, the person who really wanted to mess with him was not Marenleg, because the Malenleg family had no enmity with him.
The person who came to arrest him was someone from the Inspectorate, and the current head of the Capet family was the Imperial Inspector General, however, there was a contradiction in this.
That is, if the Capet family wants to engage him, Marenleg will never cooperate, because the Maren family and the Capet family are political enemies in the open and in the dark.
This proves that because he had previously fanned Karn into a pig's head, the Capetian family may have played a role in the conspiracy, but they were not behind it.
This is his rough judgment based on the current information.
In Victoria, the Ombudsman's Office, despite its vast functions, is not yet able to cover the sky with one hand.
Besides, he is also the champion of the sword fighting competition, even if he commits a crime, he should be dealt with in a low-key manner.
In such a moment of tension with Ursas, it is blatantly engaged in his championship, unless it is the acquiescence of the royal family, otherwise, it can only be the extremely powerful power of this person.
...
Xia Feng lay on the bed and took a deep breath, putting aside what was bothering him for the time being.
In any case, he must first prepare for the worst-case scenario, which is to maintain his strength.
Life is really wonderful, this morning he was still calmly drinking tea in the barbecue restaurant, and at night he was locked up in the royal detention center in the north, and even had to prepare for the most exciting ones.
It's like a roller coaster.
Lying on the bed, Xia Fengzai observed this room, the infrastructure of the room is much more complete than that of Longmen Prison, but no matter how good the conditions are, the prison is always a prison.
With a bitter smile helplessly, it seems that his prison disaster this year is not over yet.
...
At this moment, there was an intermittent sobbing sound from outside the room, as if someone was crying.
"Who?"
The crying became quieter, but no one responded.
Xia Feng got up from the bed, walked to the iron railing outside, and looked at the source of the sobbing sound with his hand.
Diagonally across from his room, there was a locked room, in which a middle-aged woman in a plush coat was sitting.
This woman's hair was meticulously coiled, and it was covered with delicate headdresses, and she seemed to be depressed when she looked at her sobbing slightly.
Of course, it's strange to be locked up here and not depressed.
Although Xia Feng is also depressed now, seeing that someone is more depressed than him, he seems to be less depressed.
...
Leaning on the iron bar, Xia Feng shouted at the noble woman.
"Eldest sister, don't cry, it's not the execution ground, I didn't cry."
Hearing Xia Feng's words, the noble lady raised her head and shouted emotionally.
"Bah, what is the execution ground, can you speak, woo woo, I ..... I want to go home, woooooooo ”
Xia Feng sighed, this eldest sister looked very rich, but when she got here, it was obvious that the money was useless.
"Eldest sister, are you afraid of death?"
"Nonsense, who is not afraid of death, bah bah, why did you mention death again, don't talk to me."
Xia Feng sat cross-legged in front of the iron fence and chatted with this noble lady in the air.
"What is there to be afraid of, people will always die, but it is a matter of time sooner or later, everything has an end, I think I am lucky to have lived until now."
The noblewoman's eyes were red with tears.
"Can you not be dead all the time, everyone is a nobleman, can you have some etiquette."
Xia Feng shrugged his shoulders.
"This may disappoint you, I'm not a nobleman yet."
The lady was stunned.
"Huh? Then why are you being held in the Royal Detention Center? ”
"Possibly.... It's because I want to be a nobleman. ”
