Chapter 671: The Libra of Imbalance
The Royal Knights are independent of the four major military regions, and although they cannot be compared with the hundreds of thousands of military regions in terms of numbers, Terreg, as the commander of the legion, is no less powerful than the commander-in-chief of any military division.
Moreover, the Royal Knights belong to the direct guard of the royal family and have special powers on many occasions, such as at this moment.
....
Tyregu, who broke into the courtroom, ignored anyone's face, and walked to the judge's seat without saying a word, knowing his identity, and no one in the courtroom dared to speak out.
In a dead silence, Terreg steadily ascended to the bench.
He nodded slightly to Wellante, then leaned down and leaned into Princess Verin's ear, whispering something to her.
Princess Verin's eyes narrowed slightly, and after a moment, she confirmed something to Tyregor, but no one could hear their conversation except for the nearest Willandet.
...
Xia Feng didn't know what Terreg was talking to Verin.
Breaking in on such an occasion is probably a very urgent matter that needs to be decided by Verin, or it is simply related to his case.
Unable to hear the conversation, Xia Feng could only stare at Wei Lin's expression secretly.
However, Verin is a person who never reveals her true emotions, and her eyes are always so deep that they are impossible to understand.
Soon, Xia Feng noticed that Wei Lin's gaze flickered imperceptibly, and this micro-expression flashed, but he caught it.
Then, as if Verin understood something instantly, the corners of her mouth began to raise slightly.
After the debriefing, Terreg ignored anyone and said goodbye to Verin.
As he walked out of the door, he just glanced at Xia Feng who was sitting in the dock with complicated eyes.
"Bang!"
The doors of the courtroom were slammed shut.
....
The episode passed quickly, and the courtroom returned to its previous atmosphere, but for some reason, Verante's face was much paler than before.
He coughed lightly, as if to hide something.
"Ahem, if there is nothing wrong with the representatives of all parties, Xia Feng's case will end here."
Arrlin and Gleason looked at each other, and both said there was nothing wrong.
Frey gave Capewamy a sneaky look.
I saw Capewamy bite the bullet and report to the judge.
"Lord Weilantai, I'm afraid there is another case in our Supervision Department, which should be related to Xia Feng, it is about a second-level nobleman who was destroyed in the north before, and the murderer has not been found so far."
At this moment, Verin, who had been sitting behind Wellante and had not interfered with the case from beginning to end, suddenly stood up.
Her voice was soft and calm, but there was an indescribable majesty in it.
"The case about Xia Feng is over here."
Capewamy was stunned.
"Her Royal Highness the Princess....."
"I said, at this point, Lord Wami doesn't understand."
Capewamy was so frightened by this sentence that he almost fell to his knees, he didn't expect Princess Verin, who had just been neutral, to suddenly be so insistent, it seems that he should have committed a big taboo at an inopportune time.
That is, the change of intentions of the princess of the empire was not understood.
....
Seeing Verin stand up, Wellantay, who was sitting in the main seat, consciously left his seat and gave way to the area in the middle.
Verin wore a silver crown and looked down at the courtroom.
"Regarding the outcome of Xia Feng's trial, I will announce it."
Of all the officials, including Yarlin and Frey, not a single one dared to raise objections.
Then, Verin said clearly word by word.
"Xia Feng was a legal citizen of my Victoria before, and unfortunately contracted an ore disease a few days ago, according to the laws of the empire, he should be deprived of his citizenship, but in view of Xia Feng's meritorious service to his father and the special tasks of the border military region, he is allowed to retain his citizenship, and at the same time, it will not affect the subsequent noble titles, Chief Yarlin, you have no opinion on this matter."
Yarlin nodded slightly.
"I don't have any opinion, Xia Feng has merit, it should be like this."
Verin continued.
"Because the second-level nobleman of Hapi City, Liye Tanghua, smuggled my royal resources, and has now deprived him of his noble status, I have decided to directly give Hapi City as a noble fief to Xia Feng, and at the same time assign the light manganese mining area to Xia Feng for management, although it is a bit inappropriate to give a medium-sized city to a third-level nobleman, but in view of Xia Feng's merits and abilities, I think an exception can be made, everyone in the Yuan Council, you have no opinion."
The representatives of the Yuan Council looked at each other, and everyone's expressions were full of consternation, but none of them dared to really raise objections.
"No... No comments. ”
Passing over the crowd, Verin cast her gaze on Xia Feng's face.
"Xia Feng, you are satisfied with such a reward."
"Well...."
To be honest, Xia Feng didn't understand why Verin was suddenly so nice to him.
As if he had done what he wanted, Verin put everything he needed into his arms.
Xia Feng stood up and bowed slightly.
"Thank you for the reward, I am very satisfied."
"Okay."
This is not so much the result of the trial as a kind of compensation for him.
....
After the announcement, Verin turned her head to look at Inspector General Capewamy.
"Varmi-sama, what case did you just want to talk about?"
"This...."
"Only talk about the case, not about suspicion."
"Yes."
Later, Capewamy told another case he had just wanted to target Xia Feng.
But because of Wei Lin's attitude, he has saved the Supervision Department's suspicion of Xia Feng, and only talks about the case itself throughout the whole process.
This case is not unfamiliar to Xia Feng, it is about a few months ago a northern second-level nobleman, the case of the Krona family, the eldest son of this family, named Kronsiff, was destroyed overnight.
That's right, Siv was Karn's henchman, and the first nobleman he had ever destroyed with his own hands.
The Crown family's textile mill and the entire mansion were set on fire, and all the family members were secretly disposed of, and Sif himself, upon learning of the bad news, was made by Red Knife and Dog on the way home.
...
At this time, it is clear that the OIOS has come prepared.
But because of Verin's attitude just now, this shocking case that was turned over specifically against him has lost its original meaning.
As soon as Capewamy finished explaining the case, Verin took over.
"Okay, I got it."
She turned her head to look at Xia Feng.
"Xia Feng, you also heard this case."
"I hear you."
"Well, the Krona family has always been extremely loyal to my royal family, and I am also very sad and angry as the princess of the empire when such a thing happens, since you can perform special tasks for General Gleason and your father before, you must have extraordinary ability, in this way, as the first thing you do to do your duty for the royal family after becoming a nobleman, you can find a way to solve this case."
Xia Feng raised his head quietly.
"Leave it to me to break?"
"That's right, you can ask the local military police to cooperate with you if you need to."
"I understand, I will definitely find the murderer within half a month."
Verin looked down at the summer breeze.
"Okay, I'll give you half a month, if you crack this case, you will definitely be rewarded."
....
At this moment, Xia Feng smiled.
He wasn't sure if Verin already knew that the killer was him, but with those words alone, he understood one thing.
Verin was deliberately giving him a step down to help him get rid of all the charges in the Ombudsman's office.
As for the real murderer, it will never be possible to find it, so why is it difficult to find a replacement murderer?
