Chapter 666: Trying to Catch the Past
The summer breeze was depressed.
Seeing Vina's steady demeanor like an old dog, to be honest, the determination that he had just wanted to carry everything for Vena collapsed in an instant at this moment.
On the surface, this trial revolves around him, but in practice, it has nothing to do with him at all.
It's like a primary school student joining a game on the playground, and after playing with everyone for 2 hours, he doesn't know the name of the game, and he doesn't even know the rules of the game, so he can only pretend that he knows it very well.
....
Hearing Vina's words, Capewamy's expression also changed, which was not quite the same script he imagined.
Judge Willante nodded.
"Miss Vina, what do you have to hand over to the court?"
Vina fumbled in her pocket, pulled out her hand, and pulled out a lollipop.
At the sight of the lollipop, everyone's eyebrows were twisted.
Vina was unhurried.
"Oh, I got it wrong, Xia Feng, do you want to eat it?"
Seeing that everyone was staring at her nervously, Vina put away the lollipop and pulled out a note from her pocket.
"That's right, Your Excellency, please take a look at this."
A soldier took the note from Vina and handed it to the judge's seat.
...
Xia Feng was completely stunned now, he didn't know what Vena had prepared, could it be evidence that he could get rid of the suspicion of smuggling?
If so, then why didn't she take it out sooner?
But soon, he seemed to have a flash of inspiration.
If he guessed correctly, this was a move with the realm of the fifth layer of desire to capture and indulge.
...
Because he had turned Kahn into a pig's head, Inspector General Capewamy must have held a grudge against him as well, and all of the Inspector's Office's accusations from the first count onwards were aimed at putting him in prison.
But with the strong support of Gleeson and Yarlin, the scales of victory have stabilized.
In this case, Frey and Capewamy invariably gave up on the increasingly slim chance of killing him, and prepared to point the finger at the Glasgow gang.
In the opinion of the Office of Inspectors and Frey, Gleason and Arlin had done everything in their power to exonerate him, and after that, there was no way to excuse the Glasgow gang.
What Vina wants is for the enemy to abandon him and divert the firepower to the Glasgow gang, so that when he is safe, Vina can launch a pre-planned counterattack.
...
On the judge's seat, Weilantai took the note and unfolded it in his hand.
Then, he began to read the contents of the paper carefully, and as he read, his expression became more and more complicated.
Wei Lantai handed the note to another collegial judge next to him, and after the judge finished reading it, the two talked in a low voice.
Everyone in the courtroom was staring closely at the judge's every move, and their expressions were varied, because everyone, including Xia Feng, didn't know what was written on the note.
Soon, Willante and the other collegial judges finished deliberating, but instead of speaking immediately, he handed the note to Verin behind him.
"Verin, look at it, this ....."
Compared to the judge's reading, Verin read very quickly, and after a few glances, she nodded in agreement.
...
Turning around, Wei Lantai's face was majestic and his voice was loud.
"Royal Knights!"
The captain of the royal knights in the court immediately responded.
"Yes."
"In the name of the royal court, now immediately rush to the northern Nimanda City and bring the head of the Rank 2 noble Luoda family here!"
"Yes."
"Call the Imperial Treasurer, Lord Mirren, again."
"Yes."
After the Royal Knights received the order, Wellantai struck the hammer.
"From now on, the court will be adjourned for two hours, and no one will be allowed to leave."
The city of Nemanda is the nearest medium-sized city to the capital city of Lentinium, and it takes about 2 hours to drive back and forth, and it seems that Wellantai intends to wait for the person he wants to meet to be brought over before continuing.
...
During the adjournment, Gleason, Arlin, and Frey were all seated.
According to the order of the court, no one except the judge is allowed to talk freely, and no one can leave the courtroom except to go to the toilet.
During this period, Xia Feng was restless, and he couldn't figure out how Vena was going to get out of the current predicament.
Now the Inspectorate has bitten the source stones to death from Victoria, and it seems that Wilantai agrees with the findings, and Frey, the chief of military affairs, fanned the flames.
Of course, in fact, these source stones did come from Victoria, but to be precise, they were collected from around Victoria and transported from Black Feather to Salgon.
The number of 3,000 is outrageous, and it is enough to attract the attention of the high-level, but when these bigwigs were worried about the incident 3 months ago, they didn't know that with Hei Yu's current strength, 3,000 orders were no longer a problem.
...
Xia Feng calmly analyzed.
Around this source stone smuggling case 3 months ago, according to the current situation, Vena can only use two methods to solve the siege.
First, she can find a scapegoat in Victoria and make them willing to help her take the blame, and the scapegoat must be strong enough to convince the court that it has the capital to smuggle the source stones.
But now that everyone is circulating, the Glasgow Gang is dominant in the north, and Black Feather in the south has been ruled out of suspicion, so it is difficult to find this kind of organization that has the strength to be a scapegoat in the north.
Second, Vina needs to produce invincible evidence to shut everyone up to prove that the 3,000 finished source stones smuggled into Sargon are not from Victoria.
But it's probably harder than the first method.
....
In silence, two hours passed quickly.
"Bang!"
The door of the courtroom reopened, and two middle-aged men, one fat and one thin, walked in, surrounded by the Royal Knights.
These two people are Mirren, the head of the Imperial Treasury, and the current head of the Lorda family, a second-level nobleman in Nimanda City, Lorisi.
Treasurer Mirren walked in the back and looked calm, he stood in the middle of the courtroom and glanced at Arlin.
The second-level nobleman Lorisi was like a frightened bird, his whole face was flustered, and even his legs trembled, there was no way, the lineup of the court was too shocking at this time.
Commander-in-Chief of the Military District, Chief of Military Affairs, Chief of Administration, Princess of the Empire.
Compared with his status as a second-level nobleman, any one of them is something he doesn't dare to look at directly.
Seeing that these two people were finally brought over, Xia Feng straightened up, he didn't know either of them, but there was no doubt that they were related to the content of Vina's note.
....
Wei Lantai's voice was majestic, and he spoke sharply to the two of them.
"Mistress Mirren, Lorisi, you should know what this place is."
Mirren bowed respectfully.
"I know below."
Lorisi was frightened and trembled.
"I.... I know, but I haven't committed any crimes, Lord Wellantai. ”
The majestic voice of Willante continued.
"I invited the two of you here today, not to ask the teacher about the crime, but to have something to learn about the two of you."
Willante set his sights on Lorisi alone.
"Lorisi, who has been looking for you in the last 10 days?"
