President Pabur, who was the most eloquent lawyer and the most touching speech after participating in politics, and who was still able to speak calmly and clearly at such a moment tonight, finally quieted down for the first time after Xu Le's questioning, between the thick eyebrows that were as straight as a ruler, and in the eyes that were as clear as a ruler, I don't know when there was such a faint sadness, probably because he occasionally thought of the fireworks of the evening scorpion nebula on a quiet night, and felt sorry?

Noticing the president's expression, Xu Le's lips moved slightly, and he wanted to say something, but after all, he just spread his hands helplessly and sadly.

He had heard the president mention the dinner at the official residence, and at the dinner table the president and Zhong Shouhu had a fierce argument, about many things about attacking the empire, the two people's views were very different, Zhong Shouhu was wary of the federal government's attempt to weaken the military force of Xilin's homeland, and did not agree that under the current circumstances, the Fourth Military Region would be the main force to attack the empire's homeland.

It was probably after this controversy that President Pabur finally made up his mind to put the conspiracy plan, which had been launched long ago and was only waiting for approval, into the stage of space. It turned out to be a Last Supper.

Xu Le stood alone at the end of the transparent wall, weakly spreading his hands beside his body, when he killed Medellin and was imprisoned in the Allure Military Prison, the old man was still fishing in Philadelphia and had never seen each other, the whole Federation was silent, and the politicians led by the Seven Families hoped that he would die immediately, only Mr. President and the tiger of Xilin clearly showed a protective attitude, and the result was ......

"Mr. President, do you remember the speech you made at the Nebula Awards that year? Xu Le raised his head, looked at President Pabur behind the wall, and said softly, "At that time, you said a few things about Medellin: It is not as good as a lamp to go out, the lamp has light, and where it cannot shine is darkness, and if you do something wrong, you must pay the price." ”

And then you say: Maybe I'm not a mature politician, but I'm a persistent adherent of federal law...... If I die, you can dig up my grave and see what color it is, and I have the same attitude towards some who have died. ”

The room was silent, and Xu Le paused for a moment before asking, "You are not dead yet, but it seems that we can ask in advance: when you decided to sell the lives of Commander Zhong and his wife and the soldiers on the Gu Zhong to the Imperial fleet, where were the federal laws you worshipped placed? What color will be in your grave in the future? If you do something wrong, should you pay the price?"

President Pabur pursed his thick lips, his jaw sunken a little, and after a long pause, he replied: "I admit that I have done something beyond the norm, but for the sake of this federation, the price I will pay must be paid later, and I am mentally prepared to be judged by history." ”

Xu Le looked at him and said mockingly: "If history is allowed to judge, the Imperial Expeditionary Force can also say the same, we don't need to resist." The same can be said of Medellín, we don't need to bother. Commander Zhong has even more reason to say this. "Mr. President, don't you think this kind of rhetoric is shameless and hypocritical? If only history is qualified to judge you, then how can you be qualified to judge others?"

President Pabul's brows were heavy and the conversation was at this point, Xu Le's words finally succeeded in deliberately deliberately targeting him, he slowly got up from his chair, walked to the transparent wall, looked at Xu Le, who was close at hand but far away, and said word by word: "Shameless, hypocritical, Colonel Xu Le, please don't forget that you too tried Medellín with your own pen that pierced your throat without being convicted by the court!"

Through the transparent and cold wall, Xu Le and President Lumbull stood face to face, their eyes open without blinking, and they looked at each other's insistent eyes with a persistent gaze.

President Pabur pointed to Xu Le's face and said with a calm face: "Your experience should make you know better than most of the people that federal laws do not perfectly protect the weak, and most of the time S1, it can only protect the powerful to escape the punishment they deserve, so the Medellín case was terminated, and the Ministry of Justice was anxious, so ...... You're going to play the role of a judge yourself!"

"The federal government is an elected government, facing the danger of imperial invasion, but it still has to be vigilant against the warlords of Xilin, and the Zhong family and those families have less to do with the law? But what district attorney's office can successfully send him to prison? The federal government has the glory of the charter, but what is the law in the face of these powerful people who have countless scapegoats, and have even become accustomed to carrying scapegoats with them, ready to deal with the position of the charter?"

Xu Le looked at the president's angry accusation, his eyes narrowed, because of the words scapegoat and the glory of the charter, he remembered the sword light on Hushan Road and the district prosecutor's office full of spring peach blossoms many years ago, and silently admitted in his heart that what he said was the truth.

"When you killed Medellín, you didn't need the law to prepare the book for you, what did the government need?" President Pabul looked at him with a calm expression and said, "The reason why I admire you and Shi Qinghai is your attitude towards things, and this is the attitude I have maintained in this life." ”

"Sin must pay a price, and in order to practice ultimate fairness and justice, good people should do whatever it takes, because morality is a fragile thing that needs to be carefully cared for by power. ”

"When I was expelled from the law firm because of the public interest lawsuit, and when my wife and I were kicked out of our home by those people laughing, and wandered the snowy streets with tattered suitcases, looking for a small dark house to rent, I confirmed this, even if I was buried in a grave in the future, I had no conscience

President Pabur's anger gradually calmed down because of these words, he put his broad palm on the transparent wall, looked at Xu Le and said very calmly:

"We are not Schiller's Knights of the Sorrowful Country, and we are not radical, and we are not going to use the army to sweep everything wildly, but when federal reform is met with the desperate struggles of those families, the army will be the most powerful guarantee of the federal government. ”

"We have a long-term plan for the details, and this government has pushed Parliament to pass the gold fusion algorithm, and in the next five years, my colleagues and I will take advantage of the current war situation to push for more bills to be passed. ”

"In the plan, the government and I will introduce an affirmative action bill to improve the access to higher education and employment opportunities of civilian students, a double-ring health insurance bill, an income tax collection amendment bill, and then the government will work to get the fund equity swap bill passed. ”

President Pabur tilted his chin slightly, his gaze determined and far-reaching: "Successive administrations have not been able to figure out how many resources those seven families have in their hands through those foundations that are as numerous as fish in the sea, and which industries they can exert on the security of the Union without the government's surveillance, and these things must be accomplished during my tenure." ”

"George Carlin said that information asymmetry is the root cause of social injustice in the Federation, and what we want to do is to open up this information and have the most effective and direct supervision by ordinary citizens of the Federation. "Xu Le, don't worry that the federal government will become a military government, we will have a new and truly elected government. ”

Pabur retracted his gaze, calmly looked at Xu Le, who was speechless, and said: "You have merit to the Federation, I don't want to give you any unfair treatment, I just hope that you can calm down and stand on the highest level to consider the vital interests of the people of the Federation." "I know it sounds like an ideal country that only exists in people's imaginations, but ...... Ideals have never been so close to reality as they are today. "This is the Federation's best chance. ”

"We idealists, liberals, pragmatists, no, we are all people who insist on our own rightness and fight to the end. President Pabur looked at Xu Le and said in a deep voice: "We are all the same in our bones, we are a stinky and hard stone from Donglin.

The president raised his right arm and pointed at Lee Jae-do and Du Shaoqing beside him, and his calm and infectious gaze pierced through the invisible wall and landed on Xu $'s face. "Join us, Xu Le.

Is it really that day, no, will there really be that day? Xu Le listened calmly, thinking subconsciously, without saying his doubts, he suddenly felt that his brain was a little unable to turn, it turned out that the self who killed Medellin and the people he hated were the same kind of people in their bones? But how could Medellin and the tiger be equated? "On your path, there are many people who have died who are innocent. He frowned, and said in a hoarse voice, "That's not right. "There is never perfect justice in the world. President Pabur silently said: "For a long-term goal, someone always needs to sacrifice for it." ”

Xu Le silently recalled in his heart that Professor Shen's true truth, there was never any truth in the universe, so he asked, "Then why didn't you or I sacrifice?"

President Pabur paused for a moment, and then said: "Schiller wrote a legendary novel in his early years, which told about a war around Xiangcheng, and in his later years, he wrote a story about the innocent dead who were led by the hero to become a shield during the war, and the death of the soldier saved the hero of Xiangcheng and indirectly saved the 100,000 people of Min, but for him, it was so sad" "I think this mushroom can answer your previous question." ”

"I've read the story, and it seems to me that the soldier's death was not a sacrifice, because no one asked him for his opinion, and that's the source of sorrow. ”

Xu Le squinted his eyes and said, "Similarly, you haven't asked the waitress of the Linhai Prefecture Gymnasium, the Xilin soldier on the Ancient Bell, if she is willing to die for your grand plan." "So, it's not a rough sacrifice, it's always murder. "In the Foundation building, those Secret Service agents who died under the guns of you and Shi Qinghai, should they be regarded as sacrifices, or were they murdered by you?"

President Pabul's gaze suddenly became extremely sharp, full of oppression to stare at Xu Le's eyes, and asked in a deep voice: "If those innocent Secret Service agents can be sacrificed in your eyes, then why can't Zhong Shouhu and these people sacrifice for the Federation?"

This is a very sharp and direct interrogation, Xu Le's eyes narrowed, his pupils suddenly constricted, and after a long time, he pursed his lips tightly and raised his head, and said: "A few years ago on the iron tower, I once said to a girl that the justice that needs to be obtained at the expense of the innocent is not justice. "Then what's the difference between us and you? The difference is that Shi Qinghai and I have never harmed innocent people, including those Secret Service agents in the Foundation building. ”

"Maybe that sounds like a quibble to you. Because whether there was subjective malice or not, it caused the same death, but as I thought in Charter Square after the snow, I always insisted on it...... Motivation is more important than results. ”

"It may be a bit naïve and stupid, but allow me to persevere. "To be continued!
