On the surface, Nalen doesn't like to put himself in a public environment. He seems to be a very low-key person, but he is actually a person who cares a lot about public opinion. He was actually not happy about becoming the talking point of the entire empire, and with such a bad image.
"Who cares about this?" Naren replied with a sneer.
The soaring resentment is about to overwhelm people.
Sells touched his nose and decided to speak cautiously.
Why didn't I find it before? This duplicity has reached a certain level.
Nalen closed the disturbing terminal: "Do I still suffer from this?"
Sells had to agree: "No."
"Those people think this is the truth?"
Sells shook his head: "It's not the truth."
Nalen clasped his hands and said with a cold face: "They are easily fooled and don't know it. Why should I care about these innocent people?"
Sells touched his head quietly: "Don't care."
Naren was silent.
Feeling the gentle force on the top of his head, he turned his head to look at the instigator, and found that the other party was also looking at him seriously, as if no matter what he said, he would respond unconditionally.
A few seconds later, Naryn suddenly said: "...I'm going to stop Langa's three mouths with the imperial stinky mine."
"Hmm..." Sayers paused, "Stop it?"
Yes, plug it.
Make that talkative liar bug pay for his fanfare!
The vengeful prince can be calm even when he is doing bad things. He asked to see Lan Chong after he was arrested and brought to justice.
The Marshal nodded, "Of course."
Promise so fast
Naren stared at him.
"Why do you look at me like that?" Sells smiled: "This is a reasonable request."
Reasonable
Before he gets rid of the suspicion, the people in the trial court will find a way to stop him, right
Nalen looked down at the silver ornaments on the collar of Sayers' military uniform, and suddenly realized that the two were too intimate. He coughed and asked curiously for the button that would separate the seats.
Sells said softly, "Naron."
His Royal Highness, who was named, looked at him suspiciously.
Sells opened his mouth and said after a long time: "It's okay, are you tired?"
That's obviously not what he really wanted to say.
Naren felt his hesitation, but did not pursue it.
For the rest of the way, the two of them didn't talk much, and the car fell into silence.
Not long after returning to Sharvi's mansion, the notification letter from the trial court was delivered to Nalen.
[Court hearing]
After seeing these four words, Naren relaxed instead. As early as he heard the news of Langa's escape from prison, he guessed that the situation would change. In addition to the blowout rumors on the Internet, if he is released without trial, it is obviously impossible to to the public.
The notification letter also listed several of his doubts.
First of all, the comparison results of the suspicious person who rescued the golden worm and his body showed that the coincidence rate of the two sides was as high as 95%.
The agreed low-accuracy inspection results are only for reference
In addition, Lan Chong once revealed a piece of news unintentionally: the collusion between Prince Naryn and the son of the Grand Duke of Chong Xing has long been no secret in the Zong Xing circle.
Nalen: "???" Why is he completely unaware.
Also, who is the son of Grand Duke Zongxing
In addition, there are many scattered and suspicious points, which makes the content of this notice extremely large. Looking from a distance, it is densely packed with words, which is very scary.
At the very end, there is also a note. Regardless of whether Naryn has anything to do with Wormstar or not, he, as the organizer, should bear some of the responsibility for the disaster that happened at the hunting festival.
He read the notice several times, scanned it and sent it to the lawyer, then threw it aside and didn't read any more. In fact, he can vaguely feel that the development of the situation has exceeded expectations... Far beyond, but all he can do now is to continue to follow it.
In any case, this matter has dragged on for so long, and it is time to make a complete end.
Whether it is the suspicion of theft or the possibility of collaborating with the enemy and treason, instead of letting them ferment in secret, it is better to eliminate them all at once!
"This matter is getting bigger and bigger." His Majesty the Emperor had a brief conversation with his old friend at night, "Is there something I should do?"
Sells said indifferently: "It's too late to start preparing now."
His Majesty the Emperor: "..."
What he did this time was indeed unethical, but what made him strange was Sells' attitude—Sells seemed to be not indifferent to Nalen's fate, and even cared a little more than he imagined.
After His Majesty the Emperor said a few more words with guilt, he interrupted the communication.
The next morning, Naryn got up early.
The people of the trial court had already guarded the door earlier.
In fact, every person who receives a trial notice has a high chance of committing a felony—they usually send people back to custody directly. But Nalen has a special status. As the suspect with the highest status in the past century, some courtesy is inevitable.
The other party was still a familiar face.
"Nick, we meet again." Naren greeted and received a flattered smile from the other party.
The little redhead's attitude towards himself was obviously several times better than that of the "big beard". His gestures and gestures did not show the sharpness of the first meeting in his words.
When Nalen was in the car, he curiously used derogatory words to test Sells, and was surprised to find that the other party still maintained a friendly attitude.
Time flies.
He turned his head to look at the surrounding scenery. When the familiar classical buildings appeared in sight again, Naryn realized that the destination of this trip had arrived.
Citizens are allowed to sit in on the courtroom. The most central circular hall has not been requisitioned for many years, but it has been decorated today. The golden law-breaking gavel was placed on the long table, and the nameplates in front of the seats were also neatly placed.
The auditorium was full of people.
Some were "legal students" who came to study and observe, some were elders who knew the significance of the re-opening of the rotunda, and more were melon-eaters who came to seek the truth driven by curiosity after hearing rumors on the Internet.
Of course, there are some people who do not belong to any of the three categories.
The other 12 regular courtrooms were held as usual today, and the originally agreed court time had been delayed by ten minutes due to dredging personnel.
Those who came to the trial with relatives and friends quickly realized something was wrong.
Someone was surprised: "So this is a large trial hall?" He always thought that the rotunda was a room similar to a hall filled with facades.
Those who have studied the law, after hearing his questioning, began to popularize this special courtroom.
"All the incidents accepted here are extremely serious and vicious incidents, or the people involved have high status."
Whether it is the former or the latter, it is enough to be called a breaking news.
The legal students who hadn't planned to relocate left their major cases one after another and decided to sit in the auditorium on the spur of the moment.
That's much more interesting than divorce cases and theft cases, and their teachers won't blame them!
The first court session after many years attracted many people to watch, until the bell rang, a group of judges walked to the trial seat with solemn faces, their eyes fell on the empty dock, and they all frowned.
The time is up, the judge has already entered the venue, but the royal blood relative who is under serious suspicion is late.
The crowd: "..." Although I don't know what's going on, but it looks like a chicken at the beginning
The middle-aged judge sitting at the head sat upright without changing his expression.
Nalen's lawyer had long been sitting on the lawyer's seat next to the defendant's seat, and seemed to be calm and relaxed.
While everyone was waiting with bated breath, a figure appeared at the entrance of the auditorium. Princess Shasha was wearing a floral dress and glanced at everyone with a haughty expression.
Finding that all eyes were on herself, she smiled triumphantly, walked to the auditorium and sat down.
The crowd: "..." If they hadn't heard about it a long time ago and had a preliminary understanding of today's judges, they would have thought that Princess Shasha had committed too many crimes and finally provoked public outrage and was about to come to stand trial.
After being in a complicated mood for a while, they were aroused by greater curiosity.
What kind of existence is Naren Sharvi who can make the little prince condescend to listen in
Ten minutes later, the chief judge moved his mouth, as if he didn't intend to wait any longer.
At the same moment, a figure appeared again at the entrance of the synagogue. Nick, who was in charge of monitoring the prince and escorting him to the trial, grinned brightly at his colleagues on the trial bench.
Judges: “…”
People: "..."
Fortunately, Nick quickly stepped aside, revealing His Royal Highness who was blocked by him.
Chapter 57 [Sophistry and Evidence] Debates without empirical support will inevitably become sophistry.
Before that, many speculations about the prince himself were answered at that moment.
Not only did this notorious suspect not look vicious, he also didn't look like a bitter villain who would make things difficult for the Marshal everywhere, and there wasn't even a trace of shrinking in him. On the contrary, he resembles a true nobleman in an age when royal blood is reduced to symbolism.
Naren's appearance is deceptive.
In addition, because he was attending the trial, his face didn't have much expression, the corners of his lips were tight, and his brows were stern, like a feline on alert, arrogant and indifferent, the corners of his eyes swept across, as if he could Give someone a paw.
Many gossip parties have a question in their minds.
Hey, why is it completely different from what they imagined
In most cases, a person's personality will subtly affect his temperament. No matter how outstanding the appearance and luxurious clothing are, if the temperament is wretched, it is difficult to be liked.
Obviously, Naren Sharvi is a very attractive man. There is no low or low quality in him, which contradicts his identity as a suspect, or maybe he is too good at disguising.
The people sitting in the back row didn't actually see his face clearly, but when he appeared in sight, their eyes froze inexplicably.
Except for those who really pay attention to the case, the gossip eaters are already very disturbed.
A small number of people looked at Princess Shasha and thought: Is this the hideous face you mentioned? Is this what you call unreasonable
Princess Shasha crossed her hands beside her knees, felt the "hot" gaze, and snorted proudly.
Everyone: "..."
Hum hum
Ah.
Invisibly, Her Royal Highness once again drew a wave of hatred.
The crowd was only depressed for three seconds, and then turned their attention to the prince again.
The members of the Sharvie family seem to have a genetic dislike of showing their faces, so that today, everyone is surprised that there is such an outstanding single and unmarried noble young man hidden in the imperial capital.
—Although this excellent unmarried young man is suspected of being a criminal...
But this does not prevent people from appreciating all good things.
If it weren't for the "Listening Discipline" that forbids people to whisper, they really want to have a lively discussion now!
As soon as Naren stepped into the court, he felt that something was spying on him from behind.
So he turned his head, and his eyes touched the auditorium—
"..."
Could it be that the people in the imperial capital are now in love with studying the Fa
Why do so many people come to listen on national holidays
If someone heard his question, they would probably say: Because the trial court cannot broadcast live video and take pictures! Otherwise, they must be lying under the covers and watching short videos!
The boring gossip crowd is of course even more boring during the holidays...
His Royal Highness, who was facing nearly a hundred gazes, slowly shifted his gaze, and then faced the majestic trial seat in front of him. There were five judges already dressed up, and three of them had terribly dark faces...
After he sat down, he heard a younger judge say: "You are late."
A case of this nature cannot be judged in absentia in Yasha, and Naren is not present, so they can only wait until half an hour later before announcing the postponement.
Facing the accusation, Nalen spoke the first sentence.
"It's time for your court's escort car to be replaced."
Nick looked over blankly, thinking, no, that's his personal sports car.
"The top speed can't just be a display, it can be accelerated properly at certain times."
Nalen ruthlessly dumped the blame on the pick-up staff.
In fact, Nick, like most people, does not admire the roller coaster-like speed, so that he realizes that he is about to be late, and hesitates not to shift the speed to an uncontrollable gear.
Now that Nalen lost the reason for being late to the speed of the car, he had no choice but to admit his mistake aggrievedly.
The Chief Justice broke off the subject, declared the trial open, and read out his doubts.
"... This is treason, Your Royal Highness." The judge's tone was very serious: "Any word you say in court will be used as an important basis and affect the final trial result."
Nalen looked directly at the trial seat: "I will not allow false charges to fall on my head."
"Of course." The chief judge calmly said his usual opening remarks: "Any lie will be exposed, untruthful words will cause innocent disasters, even if these lies have nothing to do with this case, they will make your testimony become false."
Naren said: "I will answer the relevant questions truthfully."
The interrogation around the scepter and the worm star finally officially started, and it lasted for a long time.
Naryn's exclusive lawyer made detailed preparations. First, he stood up and responded to each doubt.
Although Nalen is suspicious, there is no substantive evidence. No, it should be said that all his "substantial evidence" has sufficient reasons to be reversed to "non-substantial".
Even if he was caught meeting with the Zerg Stars in the jungle, who can say it wasn't a coincidence? Maybe it was Nalen who noticed something unusual, and when he stepped forward to inquire, he happened to be bumped into by imperial soldiers? Or maybe he was deceived, you must know that the human form of the Zerg Star is no different from Asha-Langa indeed communicated with Naren in the form of a human body.
As a well-known liar and spy of the enemy country, his testimony is not very credible, and it is just a smooth thing to pull Asha's prince back after the incident is revealed.
However, the accuracy of physical comparison has not reached the level that can be used as a decisive basis standard, and it does not have much reference value.
As for the gold-eating bugs... that's even simpler. He seemed to appear out of nowhere, and it would be too far-fetched to insist that he had something to do with Nalen.
The professional standard of the family lawyer is very high, and within a few minutes of explaining, he left everything behind with the prince.
Several judges looked at each other with different expressions.
"Your statement seems to be meticulous and reasonable, but in fact there is no empirical evidence." The chief judge said calmly: "All kinds of coincidences are mixed together, and it becomes a suspicion. I hope to see more direct evidence."
Naren said: "But the accusations I have received seem to be plausible, but they are also unsubstantiated."
His tone was dissatisfied.
Before coming, Nalen had already done a general understanding of each judge, and knew that the chief judge was highly respected, impartial, but also very stubborn at certain times—he preferred that people use evidence to refute accusations rather than The spat of words denies the problem.
Naren's eyes darkened—but what he lacked was evidence.
Debates without empirical support will inevitably degenerate into sophistry.
"I know. This may save you from prison, but do you want the shadow of today to be with you for the rest of your life, and you will be charged with treason for the rest of your life?" The chief judge shook his head: "No, innocent people should not be responsible Their infamy. And the way to remove it completely is to give evidence."
Naren fell into silence. Indeed, if there is no evidence, everyone will only feel that the laws of the empire have been exploited again. How can there be so many coincidences in the world? Why did they all hit him
It's hard to believe there's nothing tricky about it.
Just when everyone thought that the prince was about to retort in anger, they found that the situation on the field had changed again.
Nalen lowered his eyes, with a slightly disappointed expression, and his gray-green eyes seemed to have lost their luster. He showed a faint wry smile, and asked the trial seat: "When will the accusations of the enemy country win the trust of the Yasha people?"
He also said: "For this unfair interrogation, I have been secretly enduring and backing down again and again in order to cooperate with the investigation and find out the real guilty person as soon as possible... You know, I could have refused to stand here."
Although the process is cumbersome, if the trial court made a judgment based on one or two sentences of "confession" and "guessing" from other prisoners without actual evidence, and even opened the court with great fanfare, he had every reason to defend his rights and file a complaint.
The prince's tone was neither hasty nor slow. He raised his head proudly, like a well-educated wronged man, even though his fate was unfair, he still looked sensible.
The disadvantage is not enough to make him compromise.
— but made him lower his posture, and could only make a weak counterattack.
A glint of darkness flickered in his lowered eyes: How could the self-proclaimed justice judge and the emotional audience not be soft-hearted in the face of a proud man's inadvertent weakness
Redemption and sympathy will occupy their minds, and eventually they will be biased towards the knowledge that "he is not guilty".
Nalen is well versed in the principle that the strong are vulnerable, and the occasional showing of weakness is not enough to hurt his self-esteem. What's more, this showing of weakness is too subtle, more like the expression of true feelings under grief and anger.
"I believe that the empire will not wrong an innocent person. My "sophistry" is true, even if it is bizarre and full of coincidences, it seems to be a far-fetched excuse...but that is not a reason for conviction." His tone remained calm, Knocking on the marble floor tiles of the courtroom, it seems to be a little more sighing.
The eyes of the judges changed, and the young judge who accused him of being "late" at the beginning became a little softer in his eyes.
Long before the trial, they had made a comprehensive understanding of the young master of the Sharvi family. Knowing that he has always been a character with strong self-esteem, even hearing his current words, I can't help but wonder if he has really been wronged.
There was a brief commotion in the trial hall, and there was a buzzing sound from the public gallery, but this place is by no means a place where you can make arbitrary comments. On the contrary, it is sacred and cannot be profaned.
The onlookers quickly returned to silence amidst the warning.
The chief officer's complexion remained unchanged from the beginning to the end, because the old and cloudy eyes seemed to have seen through the man standing on the trial bench.
