I am the emperor of Mengwang

"You really have to? Besta, you really have no shame in framing me. Are you really that badly injured?"

"I just punched you in the face and kicked you in the stomach. What do you mean by putting your arm in a cast and using a crutch? Did you break a bone? You put it in a cast and use a crutch. You dress yourself up like a mummy. Aren't you ashamed?"

At this time, Kai Jin said sarcastically.

"Kaijin, you bastard. You dare not admit it, right?"

Besta said with a look of grief and anger.

"Quiet, quiet, this is not a vegetable market, don't make noise."

At this moment, the judge on the stage spoke while banging the gavel.

After hearing the judge's warning, Kaijin, who was about to fight with Besta, suddenly became quiet.

Even Besta, who looked aggrieved, didn't dare to speak.

Let's just say that the person you should not offend the most in this place is the judge on the stage. It can be said that your power of life and death is in the hands of the judge. If you really offend him, then you can say goodbye to this world.

And to be fair, in fact, neither Kaijin nor Besta can speak here. This is the rule. If you want to speak, you must get the king's permission, that is, the permission of the hero king Dowagon.

If permission is not obtained, one can only let one's lawyer speak for him/her, which is the so-called defense, just like Mo Li and Rimuru's lawyers in their previous lives.

Unfortunately, the defense lawyers on Kaijin Moli and Rimuru's side had been bribed. Moli, who was familiar with the plot, knew that if it weren't for the existence of the hero king Dowagon, they might have been sentenced.

"Okay, court is in session."

At this time, the judge on the stage knocked the gavel and said.

At this time, Besta's defense lawyer spoke up.

He took out a stack of papers and said.

“Today, our Mr. Besta was drinking at Night Butterfly and greeted the other party with good intentions, but the other party attacked our plaintiff without knowing the truth, causing extremely serious harm to us.

This behavior was extremely serious and bad, causing great harm to our Mr. Besta and resulting in very serious injuries to Mr. Besta.

Not only was Mr. Besta's arm broken, his thigh was also fractured, and his face was also severely injured, resulting in a broken nose, a deformed face, and even several teeth being knocked out.

These are the results we obtained after the professional department’s inspection. Please understand the judge.”

I saw the young lawyer said a lot of things, but the bottom line was: you are finished.

"Is everything the other party said true?"

The judge asked Kaijin's defense attorney.

"Yes, every word is true. We have no objection."

Kaijin's defense attorney said.

When Kaijin heard what he said, he was immediately furious.

This is being bought.

I was wondering why Besta looked so confident of winning?

It turns out that he didn't even give me a chance to defend myself.

But that's right.

Is it Besta after all? I should have thought of something like this earlier.

Even finding an ordinary person would be better than this situation.

Rimuru was confused at this time.

That's not right. Isn't this their defense lawyer? How could he do this?

Looking at Rimuru’s confused eyes.

"I was bought."

Mo Li's tone was full of ease, without any panic of being in a desperate situation.

"What? Then what should we do? We won't really go to jail, will we? No! My adventure hasn't even begun yet."

Rimuru said in panic.

"Don't worry. It'll be fine."

Mo Li held Rimuru in his arms and spoke soothingly.

"How can this be possible? Does having money and connections mean you can do whatever you want?"

Rimuru said calmly while being held in Mo Li's arms.

At this time, Besta's heart was already filled with joy.

"You're done, Cajun."

What Besta didn't notice was that a trace of regret flashed in the eyes of the Hero King sitting on the high platform, as if he was disappointed in his friend.

Mo Li, who was observing the Hero King, noticed the change in the Hero King's expression early on.

Looking at the complacent Besta, I thought with some pity.

"This guy doesn't think that no one has discovered what he did."

"Why doesn't he think about it himself? As the wisest king in the history of the Dwarf Kingdom, how could he not notice these things? I really don't know what he is thinking. I really don't know how he got to this position."

"It's only in anime that this is played out. If it were Mo Li's previous life, he would have been discovered countless times."

"Boom."

Then the judge brought down the gavel.

“And now the verdict.”

"It's over. This is definitely not something that can be resolved by just paying a small amount of money. I'm going to jail. I'm sorry, Mom and Dad. I've embarrassed you. I don't know how sorry I am to you two. Woo woo woo."

Rimuru couldn’t help but shout in his heart.

Before coming, Kaijin told Rimuru and Mo Li that as long as the matter was not serious, they could pay a small amount of money and go.

But Rimuru never expected that Besta would be so cruel. He was going to kill them.

Looking at Rimuru's expression, Li Qiye couldn't help but feel puzzled. Then he sent a message to Rimuru.

"What are you afraid of? With your strength, if you are determined to leave, no one can stop you."

Rimuru heard what Mo Li said and then realized it. It seems so. I am not from this country, so why should I be afraid? At worst, I can just run to the Great Forest of Qila. The forest is so big, can I search it all? And the verdict has not come out yet? What is there to be afraid of?

After Rimuru figured it out, he no longer looked so sad.

"I now pronounce the sentence on the principal offender, Kaijin, to perform twenty years of forced labor in the mines."

"The rest of the accomplices shall be sentenced to ten years' hard labour in the mines."

Upon hearing this verdict, Rimuru, Kaikin and others were stunned.

To be honest, Kaijin never expected the punishment to be so severe.

Kaijin's eyes became red.

He was not afraid of working in the mines for twenty years. He felt sorry for his brothers, and even more sorry for Li Qiye, Rimuru, and others. Especially Gobta. He was just drinking, and not only did he get splashed with wine in his face, but now he has to work in the mines for another ten years. To be honest, Kaijin has never seen such an unlucky guy in all his years. (Gobta: What the hell did I do to anyone? How come I woke up and got ten years of ore labor?)

Kaijin turned around at this time and said to Rimuru and Mo Li.

"sorry."

Kaijin's tone was full of guilt. They helped him, but what about him? He made them work in the mine with him. He really felt ashamed to face his two benefactors.
