Chapter 654: Absolute Justice
In front of a majestic building, Xia Feng was pushed out of the car.
The building covers an area of tens of thousands of square meters, full of Victorian style, and in front of the door stand two huge stone lions with a height of more than 5 meters, majestic and domineering.
The long staircase leads to the main entrance, and the golden sword guards on both sides of the staircase can be seen from the attire, which is the men and horses of the Royal Order.
This is the Imperial Inspectorate, the highest judicial body directly under the Imperial Family, the Royal Court.
.....
According to the current trend of development in Victoria, King Wilanson wants to try to dilute the imperial power and promote democracy, and the existence of the royal court is obviously not in line with this idea.
In fact, the powers of the Royal Court are gradually being transferred to the Ombudsman's Office, and the Yuan Assembly is also stepping up its efforts to enact laws and regulations that apply to all status groups.
But at the current pace and the national situation, the day of true democracy is still far away.
Or maybe a lot of people don't want that day at all.
...
After getting out of the car, Xia Feng was escorted to the long staircase, surrounded by elite guards of the Royal Knights, it seems that the official is also very jealous of him, the champion of the swordsmanship competition, which can be regarded as "giving enough face".
Before walking into the gate of the court, Xia Feng saw a middle-aged man in his fifties being dragged out by several guards, looking at this person's pale face and trembling lips, it was estimated that he had just been sentenced.
The middle-aged man was so frightened that he couldn't walk on his own, so he could only be dragged by someone, shouting like a repeater.
"My lord, give me a chance to repent, my lord, I was wrong, my lord!"
However, there are no adults around here, and his end is already doomed.
Xia Feng watched the man being dragged away expressionlessly, without any waves in his heart.
Of course, it's impossible not to be nervous, but he won't lose his temper like this man, and even if it is the worst outcome, he can't cry and beg anyone for mercy, because it doesn't make sense.
....
Soon, Xia Feng was escorted into the hall of the royal court and taken to a waiting room for defendants on the fourth floor.
To be honest, this kind of life experience is very novel, he has never been to the court in his original world, and of course the process here is completely different from his original world, but it is essentially the same.
They are all institutions that can decide a person's fate.
....
Just as Xia Feng was quietly sitting inside and waiting, a middle-aged man in a suit and gold-rimmed glasses walked in.
This man is a relatively rare Vaivan clan in Victoria, and after coming in, he sat down next to Xia Feng elegantly and calmly.
"Hello, Mr. Xia Feng, I am your lawyer, my name is Kevin."
I didn't expect there to be a lawyer, Xia Feng nodded quietly.
"Hello."
Seeing that Xia Feng's eyes were a little cautious, Lawyer Kevin lowered his voice and continued.
"You don't have to be wary of me, in fact, I'm the exclusive lawyer for the Glasgow gang, and you and my brother should know each other well."
Hearing this, Xia Feng immediately understood, it turned out that Vena had helped him find this lawyer.
"It turned out to be my own person, oops, I'm so nervous, by the way, who is your brother?"
"My brother is Kate."
"Damn."
Kate is Xia Feng's good brother who has been strong since Mandel City, and she is also Vina's right-hand man in the Glasgow gang, but I didn't expect Kate to have a lawyer brother.
Now there is no extra time to greet each other, Kevin has the right to communicate with his client before the trial, so he quickly told Xia Feng some things that need attention.
"Xia Feng, the royal court is different from the ordinary district court, we can't buy anyone, and false testimony and the like are also very real, to be honest, the current situation is very unfavorable for you."
What Kevin wanted to express was that the situation was not optimistic, but Xia Feng felt that it might not be as bad as he imagined.
You can't buy anyone, and you can't give false testimony, that is, the judge will uphold an absolutely impartial attitude, and the person who is deliberately trying to get him will also not be able to use small means, but can only produce strong evidence.
Xia Feng's idea was confirmed by Kevin.
"That's right, the judge of the Royal Court is a member of the royal family himself, and he will not take sides, it is about the majesty of the royal family, and of course, it is not excluded that other factors will intervene."
"Other factors?"
"For example, some of the big names who are quite influential."
Time is limited, Kevin can't explain it to Xia Feng in detail, he can only explain.
"This time, the Supervision Office has indicted you on multiple charges, and Vena has already taken action, what you need to do later is to deny the facts of the criminal when the judge asks questions, and leave the rest to me."
Xia Feng nodded.
"I see."
In this case, Xia Feng will no longer doubt Kevin, he will completely believe that only Vena can save him now.
Soon, the time for the trial came, and Xia Feng was escorted to the court by several bailiffs.
....
It is a courtroom of at least 500 square meters, and on the front wall is the Victorian coat of arms, which is composed of three lions.
The royal knights in golden swords and armor stood straight on both sides of the courtroom, showing a solemn atmosphere.
After Xia Feng was escorted in, he saw that there were already many people sitting in the jury seat, and there were many familiar faces among them.
First of all, Vina sat in the first row in a black leather coat, she and Xia Feng glanced at each other, although they didn't say anything, the worry in their eyes could not be concealed.
Later, Xia Feng also saw Karn, of course, he could tell that it was Karn because the second lady of the Capet family sat next to that guy, and at this time, this guy's face was wrapped in bandages, and only a pair of eyes were exposed, it seemed that the slap was not light.
In addition to Vina and Karn, there were several acquaintances in the crowd, such as Paddy and Senior Du Wei, who should have been summoned to testify.
However, to Xia Feng's surprise, there was also a man in a suit and leather shoes sitting in the jury seat, who was actually Marenleg.
...
As he passed by Marenleg's side, Xia Feng squinted at him.
"Mr. Legg, are you satisfied now? Your sentence that I treat you as a friend, heh, it's really an explosion of acting. ”
Marenleg's eyes were complicated, and he said in a deep voice.
"Xia Feng, I know it's useless for me to say anything now, but I hope you can survive this, this sentence is sincere."
Xia Feng leaned his face closer to Marenleg and said in a volume that could only be heard by the two of them.
"If you can survive this, Lao Tzu will definitely chop you up with his own hands, so you better hope that I will be executed, stupid."
The bailiff behind him pushed Xia Feng.
"Don't speak, go!"
Xia Feng glared at Marenleg with murderous eyes and walked to the dock of the courtroom.
...
When everything was ready, the doors of the courtroom were slammed shut.
"Boom!"
With the hammer of the judge, the case officially opened.
The judge in charge of Xia Feng's trial this time is about 60 years old, named Wei Lantai, the chief judge of the royal court, and a member of the royal family with pure blood.
Judge Willante's brother is the current King Willanson, in layman's terms, Willante is an out-and-out prince, and by the way, Judge Willante's youngest daughter is Turtle's classmate, Willissa.
The king's own brother, this status represents absolute justice, and it is an existence that no power can interfere with.
As the hammer fell, Judge Weilantai's loud and majestic voice rang out.
"Court opens!"
