In a solemn atmosphere, Ye Qingxuan walked into the half-height fence and sat on the chair. With a click, the shackles were tied to the armrests of the iron chair.
The quality of the chair is good, it is very comfortable to sit on, and it conforms to the curves 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 generally have high status. Therefore, the Holy City will naturally not be stingy in this aspect, and even prisoners will be punished even more. Humane treatment.
For some reason, Ye Qingxuan thought of the decapitation rice in Eastern legend.
Anyone would treat a dying person like this kindly, right
The more gentle you are, the more reluctant you will be when you die.
The more painful it is.
He lowered his head and waited quietly for the court to begin. In the silent court, those complicated eyes fell on this young man who seemed to be quiet.
In addition to the packed auditorium, in order to ensure fairness, twelve jurors from all parties have already arrived.
They sat on both sides, watching Ye Qingxuan's appearance in silence.
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 all sectors of the Order.
However, it seemed that they were all seeing Ye Qingxuan in person for the first time, and they couldn't help but have a hint of surprise in their expressions.
"Although I heard that he is an Oriental with white hair, I didn't expect that he is so delicate that he looks like a girl."
The inquisitor from the Caucasus Plains Federation whispered in a low voice:
"I thought it would be the tougher-looking type."
"Tough? How tough?" The old man next to him curled his lips: "You have a stubble on your face, like a bear?"
"As long as you don't look like an old monkey." After saying that, before the old man could lose his temper, he looked at the person on the other side: "What do you think?"
"I can't tell the difference." The young man next to him smiled bitterly: "I always feel that all Orientals are exactly the same... Why don't you ask Mr. Hu for advice?"
At the bottom of the judge's seat, the white-haired middle-aged man smiled but said nothing.
Just staring at Ye Qingxuan, his eyes became sad and complicated.
Next to him, the ambassador from Asgard appeared in the jury seat openly and openly, not caring about concealment or anything else. The rough lines of Asgardians have always been like this.
He looked at the silent Mr. Hu, "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 Majesty the Pope say, 'Judge impartially'."
"That's what's puzzling."
The ambassador of Asgard rubbed his beard and raised his eyes to look at the empty judge's seat - there is no problem in ruling impartially, but who will judge impartially
In recent years, the Pope has appeared less and less, delegating more and more power to other departments, and there are no direct troops 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 rise from the grave again.
After years of political struggle, the power that was finally gathered into one person was thrown away without hesitation in the hands of this generation's Red King.
It's like he is a truly devout monk who doesn't care about external things.
This also led to the growth of the Holy Order of One Heart Monks. This small order, originally composed of ascetic monks, has quietly interfered in most departments of the Holy City, and its influence is increasing day by day. Sometimes even the Cardinal Church is under its influence.
These old ghosts who should have died at the end of their lifespan do not know what kind of power they have obtained, and even their closest relatives are silent. Like a ghost, wandering in this city.
Although there has been no major action, many people with a long-term perspective have discovered that the Yishin Monk Society is silently preparing to re-revise the Third Act... with the intention of restoring the supreme glory of the Holy City hundreds of years ago.
No country wants to see a holy city towering over everyone.
No matter how sacred it is.
Because of this, the relationship between the countries and the Holy City has become more and more complicated in these years, and this time, the Ye Qingxuan trial has become the key.
There is no doubt that if it is not handled well and fails to convince the public, Angelou will not give up.
Now, in everyone's mind, it feels like a pair of invisible hands are slowly rubbing a fuse.
No matter who it is, no one wants to see such consequences.
So, between the two positions, everyone watched in silence.
Today is the preliminary hearing on Ye Qingxuan's case.
What will be the outcome of the first confrontation between the two sides
…
But at this moment, with the sound of low footsteps, everyone's faces suddenly became solemn.
According to custom, the judge will be late for five to ten minutes to show the dignity and majesty of his status. Today, Borja seems to have no intention of breaking this rule.
Neither early nor late, neither long nor 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 beginning of the preliminary trial.
This is a well-maintained middle-aged man, about thirty years old, who is in the prime of life.
Among the many departments in the Holy City, Mr. "Borja" left the most stereotyped impression.
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 importance 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 is precisely It was because he exiled his younger brother. After his father died, the family gave the position of head of the family to his uncle.
In the impression of more people, this is a lunatic 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 amidst everyone's solemn expressions, 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 thirty 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 sanctuary that existed, lied that he had found an important clue to the Yellow King. In the subsequent development, because of his own selfishness, he ignored military orders and the laws of the Holy City and forcibly broke into the mutated area. And because of his own boldness, , causing the situation to develop 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 he frantically launch an attack on the religious sect The pursuit of members culminated in an inhumane terrorist attack in front of the Holy City on November 19th! During this attack, Ye Qingxuan brutally killed Romulus in full view of the public. Colt, the heroic musician who made outstanding contributions in the war, also deceived the public with his monstrous words and criticized the Holy City, which caused extremely bad effects and committed an unforgivable crime! In terms of his sinister intentions and vicious methods, it can be said that this has never happened in a century. There have been serious criminal incidents. 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!"
