Otoko Game: Male protagonists, I’m just a scumbag

"?"

Wei Lan paused and was immediately surprised after hearing these words.

Then he quickly squeezed through the crowd because he suddenly thought of the news he had vaguely heard in the church that day.

Gemma...

Also, I only saw Gabriel that night, but not Gemma. I wonder if something happened to him.

He pushed his way through the crowd and stopped in front of the bulletin board. There were various papers on the board, but the most eye-catching one was also the newest one.

The paper was stamped with the official seal of the Dharma Hall.

Because he was anxious, Wei Lan quickly glanced around, and in his panic he actually saw a few words, Gemma xxx clergyman.

What was written here roughly meant that someone reported that the clergyman had committed sodomy with another clergyman, and so he was brought to court.

Sodomy...? Wei Lan thought about it for a while before remembering that this was a crime of the same nature. In this era, such things were very difficult to tolerate, not to mention that he was a clergyman.

But how could Gemma commit this crime? How come he didn't realize that Gemma was a homosexual?

No, there must be something fishy about this matter.

The case is currently under trial, and this announcement is for everyone to keep in mind. The trial date is xx/xx/xx.

Wei Lan took the back of his finger and looked up. Wasn't it today? !

This won’t do, he has to go and check it out.

After taking a look at the exact location of the temple, he turned around and rented a carriage to head to the church.

After getting off the carriage, Wei Lan rushed into the extremely grand building of the court.

As soon as he got inside, someone stopped him:

"Miss, you can't just go in here casually."

Wei Lan took a deep breath and tried to calm his expression.

"I need to see your dean. If that's not possible, please go and inform her and say I'm Her Royal Highness Princess Stephen."

The two people at the door showed no intention of leaving, nor did they intend to report.

"I'm sorry, we can't let you in."

one of them said.

Wei Lan knew that they probably didn't believe that she was a princess. That's right, what princess would appear in such an embarrassed state.

He didn't have anything to prove his identity, and was hesitating about what to do when suddenly a man came down the stairs in front of the court.

He was walking in a hurry and seemed very anxious. Wei Lan took a quick glance and found that it was Gabriel.

"Gabriel!"

Wei Lan lifted her skirt and hurriedly walked towards the direction where he was coming down. Gabriel saw that his panicked expression faded a little, and then he hurriedly saluted him:

"Your Highness, did you come here because you heard about this? But I'm sorry, Your Highness, I have something urgent to do now. Please let someone take you in first."

He didn't even have time to greet him before he hurried downstairs.

"Wait a minute." Wei Lan quickly stopped him and asked:

"What do you want to do? Maybe I can help."

Gabriel stopped, his forehead was covered with sweat, his Adam's apple rolled twice and his pupils were fixed on Wei Lan.

The next second he stepped up again, his tone much lower:

"Your Highness, Gemma Gemma has been sentenced to death. After filing an appeal, Gemma's defense lawyer has not come yet. I just went to look for him."

Wei Lan had never seen him with such a disoriented expression before. His worry was evident on his face, and the situation was indeed serious.

So he thought about it carefully before saying:

"Don't worry, you still have me, the princess, here."

"Now tell me what happened from beginning to end?"

Gabriel blinked a few times and was still breathing heavily. After hearing what he said, he calmed down a little and told him the general idea of ​​what had happened.

Wei Lan listened carefully and roughly understood that Gemma was found kissing a same-sex person, but what he didn't expect was that this same-sex person turned out to be Gabriel!

Then when he used his money to say he was going to marry a wife, could it be Gabriel?

Soon after, Gemma was brought to court for sodomy.

The judge heard the first-instance verdict and the result was death penalty. When applying for appeal, the defense lawyer went out on the pretext of going to the restroom and never came back.

Wei Lan sorted it out carefully, and then suddenly asked him:

"Is the plaintiff a member of your church?"

[Plaintiff: A person who brings a court action in his or her own name.]

Gabriel nodded, his whole body trembling. He suddenly bit his lip and said:

"Many people saw it...They all..."

Wei Lan was about to ask what he saw, but suddenly realized what he meant. He held out his hand to comfort her, then stopped and said calmly with a sullen face:

"What did they see? And what evidence do they have to prove that they saw this?"

Gabriel was so flustered that he almost lost his mind.

"But! So many people, they all said."

Wei Lan had really never seen Gabriel with this expression before. He usually had a cold and indifferent look on his face, including last night.

He quickly raised his mouth to interrupt him, and put his hand on his shoulder:

"If you want to save Gemma, calm down now."

Gabriel calmed down a little after hearing this, took a deep breath, and decided to trust Wei Lan first:

"Okay, Your Highness Princess."

Seeing him like this, Wei Lan quickly asked again:

"That lawyer suddenly disappeared, but did he still keep his things?"

Gabriel nodded.

“Still keeping it.”

"Okay." Wei Lan thought about it and had a plan in mind:

"You take me in now. Tell me that the lawyer has a sudden illness, so I will take over for the time being."

Gabriel's pupils shrank immediately, and he seemed a little unbelievable that he dared to say such words.

Wei Lan ignored his expression and continued:

"After you send me in, you will go to my palace first, find my maid and get my rose seal, and ask her to invite the lawyer in my palace."

"Also, please tell the maid named Winnie something for me..."

As long as the lawyer didn't really have a stomachache, it would only prove that he had reached some agreement with those church members or was threatened by them.

But he always felt that something was wrong. Instead of asking Gabriel to find a lawyer, it would be more useful to take his seal.

And what he asked him to say to Winnie should be of some use when the time comes.

After the matter was discussed, Gabriel brought him into the inner court of the court. He was wearing a black veil. The lawyer they had hired before was also a woman.

He made up a simple excuse, saying that he had just developed a rash and had to wear a mask and change his clothes.

After all, the lawyer's things had not been taken away yet, and it was the middle of the journey, so no one thought there was anything strange.

The judge struck his gavel and said:

"Since the defense lawyer has arrived, let's open the reconsideration hearing now."
