Crown of Silence

Chapter 434 Preliminary Trial

In a solemn atmosphere, Ye Qingxuan walked into the half-man-high fence and sat on the chair. With a click, the shackles were tied to the armrests of the iron chair.

The chair is of good quality, comfortable to sit on, and fits the curve of the human body. Even if it is used for prisoners, it is still well-made.

This is the Holy Wheel Court, which is almost the most important judicial institution in the world. People who can be tried here are generally of high status. Therefore, the Holy City will naturally not be stingy in this regard. Even prisoners will be treated more humanely.

For some reason, Ye Qingxuan thought of the last meal in the Eastern legend.

To treat such a dying person, everyone will treat him gently, right?

The gentler, the more reluctant he will be when he dies.

The more painful.

He lowered his head and waited quietly for the court to open. In the silent court, those complicated eyes fell on this young man who looked quiet.

In addition to the packed audience seats, twelve jurors from various parties have arrived to ensure fairness.

They sat on both sides, silently watching Ye Qingxuan.

Because this matter even involves the relationship between the Holy City and various countries, there are many agents from the embassies of various countries - of course, on the surface, they are all prestigious nobles settled in the Holy City. And priests from various departments of the church.

However, it seems that they all really saw Ye Qingxuan in person for the first time, and they couldn't help but show a hint of surprise in their expressions.

"Although I heard that he was a white-haired Oriental, I didn't expect that he was so delicate like a girl."

The judge from the Caucasus Plain Federation murmured in a low voice:

"I thought he would be the tougher type."

"Tough? How tough?" The old man next to him curled his lips: "A face full of stubble, like a bear?"

"As long as he doesn't look like an old monkey." After saying that, without waiting for the old man to lose his temper, he looked at the person on the other side: "What do you think?"

"I can't tell them apart." The young man next to him smiled bitterly: "I always feel that Oriental people are exactly the same... Why don't you ask Mr. Hu?"

At the end of the judge's seat, the white-haired middle-aged man smiled and didn't speak.

He just stared at Ye Qingxuan, and his eyes became melancholy and complicated.

Beside him, the ambassador from Asgard appeared in the jury seat openly, not caring about concealing or anything else. Asgardians are always so rough.

He looked at Mr. Hu who was silent, "What do you think of the Holy City's ruling?"

"I don't know. It's really hard to guess what the Holy City means."

Mr. Hu smiled bitterly: "Besides, didn't His Holiness say, 'judge impartially'?"

"That's the point that's puzzling."

The Asgard ambassador rubbed his beard and raised his eyes to look at the empty judge's seat - there is no problem with impartial ruling, but who will make the impartial ruling?

In recent years, the Pope has appeared less and less, and has delegated more and more power to other departments. There is no direct unit except the Knights Templar.

Many people say that if the Popes of previous generations who worked hard to govern knew about it, they would be so angry that they would come back to life from the grave.

The power that was finally gathered to one person after many years of political struggle was thrown out without hesitation in the hands of the Red King of this generation.

It's as if he is really a monk who is devout to God and doesn't care about external things.

It also led to the growth of the Holy See One Hearted Monk Order. This small order, originally composed of ascetics, has secretly interfered with most departments of the Holy City, and its influence is increasing day by day. Sometimes even the cardinals are under its influence.

These old ghosts who should have died of old age don't know what kind of power they have obtained, and even their relatives are silent. They are like ghosts, wandering in this city.

Although there has been no major action so far, many people with a long-term vision have discovered that the One Hearted Monk is quietly preparing to revise the Third Law... intending to restore the supremacy of the Holy City hundreds of years ago.

No country wants to see a Holy City that is above everyone's head.

No matter how sacred it is.

Because of this, the relationship between the countries and the Holy City has become more and more complicated over the years, and this time, Ye Qingxuan's trial case has become the key.

There is no doubt that if it is not handled well and cannot convince the public, Anglo will definitely not give up.

Now everyone feels like a pair of invisible big hands are slowly rubbing a fuse.

No matter who it is, no one wants to see such a consequence.

Therefore, between the two positions, everyone was watching silently.

Today is the first trial of Ye Qingxuan's case.

What will be the result of the first confrontation between the two sides?

-

At this moment, with the sound of low footsteps, everyone's faces suddenly became solemn.

According to convention, the judge will be five to ten minutes late to show the dignity and majesty of his status. And today, Borja seemed to have no intention of breaking this rule.

Not early or late, not long or short.

Exactly five minutes.

As the second hand returned to the direction of twelve o'clock, he sat in his seat, knocked down the gavel in his hand, and announced the start of the first trial.

This is a well-maintained middle-aged man, about thirty years old, just in his prime.

Among the many departments in the Holy City, the impression left by Lord ‘Borja’ most is that of stereotype.

He doesn't know how to adapt, and he doesn't know how to treat people outside the law. He is almost a machine.

Here four years ago, he personally sentenced his younger brother to exile.

He was once the most popular successor to the next generation of the Borja family - the weight of Borja in the Holy City is no less than that of Sforza, and even three of the previous popes have been named with this surname - And it was precisely because he exiled his younger brother that after his father's death, the family gave the position of head of the family to his uncle.

In the impression of more people, this is a madman who pursues laws and regulations more than his family, an illegitimate child accidentally left behind by the laws of the Holy City.

If he serves as a judge, no one will doubt whether he will bend the law for personal gain.

And while everyone was looking solemn, Borja knocked the gavel in his hand:

"Now, the court begins."

——

As everyone expected, the Holy City is indeed a Holy City. It is impossible for the opening scene to be earth-shattering, with everyone quarreling and torn apart beyond recognition.

After tedious and complicated procedures and examinations, the Holy City prosecutor finally read out Ye Qingxuan's indictment and charged Ye Qingxuan.

There were more than 30 crimes, large and small, in total!

Among them, there are sixteen crimes that are worthy of the death penalty.

Amidst the sonorous and angry voice of the prosecutor, everyone could not help but straighten their bodies and look at the defense lawyer next to the dock.

The drama is coming!

"In the disaster that occurred in Romulus in October, many musicians were killed. During the incident, Ye Qingxuan not only passively responded to the challenge, but also showed a strong fear of war. In order to encourage others to flee with him, he even made up false stories. The refuge of existence, lying that he had found important clues to the Yellow King.

In the subsequent development, due to selfish interests, they ignored military orders and the laws of the Holy City and forcibly broke into the mutated area. And because of his bold actions, the situation developed to an irreversible level.

Later, after violently resisting the arrest of the Holy Judge, causing one death and seventeen injuries, You was not satisfied and even transferred his hatred to the Holy City.

Not only did they frantically launch a hunt for members of the sect, but they also carried out an inhumane terrorist attack in front of the Holy City on November 19th!

During this attack, Ye Qingxuan brutally killed Colt, a heroic musician who had made outstanding contributions in the Romulus War, in full view of the public. He also deceived the public with monstrous words and criticized the Holy City, which caused extremely bad effects. Committed an unforgivable sin!

In terms of its sinister intentions and vicious methods, it can be said to be a serious crime that has not happened in a century.

Here, I implore the Holy Wheel Court to rule on this, otherwise the fairness of the law and the majesty of the Holy City will be lost! "
