Count Robert was quite confident in defeating the cowardly lord of public expenses.

"Sir, you are finally here. We have been waiting for you for a long time." Earl Laiwei said loudly. With his voice, the originally noisy and noisy church suddenly became quiet.

Earl Robert never expected that it was Earl Laiwei who presided over the emergency meeting.

This is indeed an unexpected thing.

"You must have heard of the horrific pirate attacks in Nangang. More than 40 merchants suffered heavy losses in this attack, and they were almost robbed." Earl Laiwei said with a serious expression.

"The Nangang Commercial Federation sent representatives to come here to report the case first, so let's listen to their true reports."

After saying this, a group of more than twenty people walked into the auditorium through a small door on the right side of the church.

The auditorium was originally quite supportive, and people had to dodge a path to both sides and let people pass through.

What was beyond the expectation of Count Robert, was that the two leaders were actually the people he recognized.

These two are definitely not merchants. Among them, His Majesty the Emperor's honor and favor for him are definitely not inferior to him.

The adult was named Count Sabain, the youngest son of Duke Donem.

In the capital, he was highly educated and well-known, and was appreciated by His Majesty the King and many princes and nobles.

Compared to himself, his people hoped that they would be much better.

The Earl Robert has forgotten the name of the gentleman, and only knows that he had seen this gentleman at the banquet held by His Majesty the King.

This gentleman must not be an ordinary person to be able to attend His Majesty the King's banquet.

What surprised Count Robert was that the two gentlemen had a blue face and the eyes were cold.

Count Robert was about to go up and say hello.

Unexpectedly, the gentleman who could not name had already stood beside Count Laiwei.

He said slowly in a low voice: "Everyone, I have met you very well. Below is Gothub Focos. You must have heard of my father, Duke Focos, the academician of the Elders. The one beside me is Earl Sabain, a member of the famous Donem family. The young man behind me is Earl of Shirup, the nephew of His Majesty the respected Queen. The three of us are in Nangang, the most prosperous city in Francs, and have just experienced a loot."

The adult shrugged his shoulders casually, but his face showed that his mood was not like he did.

"I can see with my own eyes that the industry my father worked hard to run was plundered by those vicious pirates in an instant, and the wealth accumulated over the years turned into a bubble. It's okay, but the precious artworks my father asked someone to buy from various countries have also become the spoils of those rough pirates."

Speaking of this, he waved his arms excitedly, and saw Qiu's indignation. It was obvious that everything he said was not a hypocritical word to elevate his identity.

"But what makes me most angry is that I have no reason to complain. If I want to resent, I can only hate myself. I believe the same is true for the gentlemen behind me."

It seemed to prove that everything he said was true. The gentleman was so angry that he trembled all over, and the other finance department next to him was not much better.

"Those pirates who plundered wildly were the desperate people who spent money on the scammers of our families in Nangang. These ungrateful idiots who were ungrateful for their own interests, and in order for the original business association of Nangang to be controlled by them, they actually invited pirates to rob the prosperous city."

Just after these words, Count Robert's brain seemed to be struck by lightning, and he felt dizzy.

The nobles of Serthburg made a loud noise, and it was obvious that this incident was far beyond their expectations.

"Their plan was really good, but they didn't expect that because of this, the pirates who did not receive the deposit thought that these stupid ungrateful things had deceived them. These outlaws frantically broke into Nangang and robbed all the businesses that bought them. I witnessed all this with my own eyes, and heard a pirate smile and told me that this was a punishment for breaking his promise. The pirate even let me see the signs and maps that had been made with the pirates, and these marks and maps, which made the pirates loot these shops without any mistakes."

"Compared with those stupid things, these pirates are still people who keep their promises. They didn't even pick up a piece of rag in the shops next to them, hahaha."

Suffering laughter resounded throughout the cathedral.

The gentleman was obviously using this to vent his resentment.

This gentleman and the Count from the capital had a little cultivation, and they didn't even look at the Count Robert.

The young man who was related to His Majesty Wuyue could not hold back his anger. He stared at Earl Robert and glared at Earl Robert.

After all, these three people are great figures with noble identities. Some of the other people with them are obviously not so valued in the family, and some are obviously also servants and housekeepers.

These people were originally not qualified to stand with the three big men, but they had just suffered such a great loss, and the three big men could not care about their status and status. They only knew that they were the victims of heavy losses. In addition to their grief for the lost property, they were more hatred for the Earl of Robert.

Those merchants who knew they had committed unforgivable crimes all blame was verbally whispered to Count Robert.

The temptation and instigation of the special envoy for them had become a threat and temptation in the mouths of the merchants.

In order to make the angry and grieving masters believe everything they said, these merchants unanimously described Count Robert as a despicable, shameless, fierce, cruel, and arrogant unforgivable person.

There are indeed many things to prove what these merchants say.

In particular, the assassination he had already been used as the most powerful evidence by the merchants, and he had instilled in the representatives sent by their masters over and over again.

The Nangang Commercial Federation is also happy to take this opportunity to take advantage of the Earl Robert's injury.

As soon as we think that this envoy wanted to drive them out of Nangang, which they had worked hard to manage for so long, so prosperous, and wanted to take away the wealth they had saved up with great effort.

Even the best-cultivated and docile people in the business association will inevitably have to complain to the fire.

All the resentment and endless dissatisfaction were gathered together and brought to this sacred and solemn cathedral with the representatives of these twenty victims.

The atmosphere in the church was extremely depressing, just like the sultry and suffocating weather before the storm.

But this depressing atmosphere contains infinite energy, and this powerful energy is waiting for an opportunity to discharge.

Earl Robert knew that he would be the target of venting. This adult, known for his strength, felt dizzy, weak legs, and crumbling.

He wanted to find a chair to sit down, and he felt that his feet could no longer support the weight of his body.

His dull, always cold face now showed great fear.

It seemed as if he saw hell had opened in front of him, and countless resentful ghosts, driven by the demons, were rushing towards him, trying hard to pull him into the endless abyss.

Earl Robert's mind was blank. He only knew one thing, he had robbed everything.

Now for him, what he needs most is not the authorization document of His Majesty the King, but the order of pardon from His Majesty the merciful Majesty.

Only His Majesty's favor can prevent these angry and sad people from tearing them apart.

Earl Robert looked pale, and he looked up at the high ceiling, as if he wanted to pray to the generous and kind supply and marketing cooperative to save his soul and body.

But when he turned his face and saw that the anger on everyone's faces did not decrease at all, he felt that he could not help but want to vent his feelings immediately. He saw the sacred master staring at him, with no sympathy in his eyes, and saw the gloating expressions on the faces of Earl Fesnan, Earl Laiwei, and all the nobles of Sethburg.

Count Robert knew that he was eventually betrayed by God the Father and the world.

He looked in a panic and weak, and said with his head down with weakness: "Everyone, I obviously angered a certain god, so he cruelly put me on the altar of fate. Everyone thinks that I have committed an unforgivable crime. I am unable to defend the possible accusations, and I will wait for your verdict."

After saying this, he turned his head blankly and glanced at his only ally. He hoped that the judge could say a few good things for him. Now he could only hope for an excellent defense lawyer to relieve him of his crime.

But what he saw in Viscount Falis's eyes was a cold and gloating look.

This kind of gaze is different from what other nobles of Serthburg have.

There was a strange smile on the corner of his mouth. Seeing this undetectable smile, Count Robert was cheered up all over. He finally knew why he was defeated so miserably.

He just realized that he had completely fallen into a trap that had been dug in advance.

Everything that happened today is aimed at everything you originally planned.

Use the owners of those merchants to deal with those merchants, use pirates to deal with those merchants, and let the owners of those merchants to deal with themselves.

All of this is connected and closely linked.

The only reason that the terrible opponent who was hidden behind the scenes and did not show up at all had known in advance every step he planned.

And the one who leaked all this was undoubtedly Viscount Falis, this despicable and shameless hypocrite.

Although he had understood the reason for the failure, Count Robert had lost all his feelings about resentment.

He looked at Viscount Falis weakly, and with the last glance, he dragged the students' footsteps out of the church. The nobles who were originally surrounded by the church doors all dodged and made way out as if they were avoiding the plague god.

Earl Robert, who left in a state of work efficiency and loneliness, looked for a hunched and aged background, which was a bit pitiful and sympathetic.

"What kind of crime did Mr. Robert commit? Can we determine this?" asked Count Laiwei.

"Murder, destruction, robbery, persecution, coercion, at least these charges were found." Viscount Falis said.

"In addition, his intention to seize the hereditary territory of the Medin family and collude with pirates, I think it is not an exaggeration to convict him of a traitor." The young man said indignantly.

The young man obviously took all the family to which Count Robert belonged.

"Dear Count Xirup, the Father God taught us to know how to forgive. Besides, you don't plan to let your family name appear in the judicial file. At least I absolutely do not want my family to be in the position of plaintiff or the defendant who was accused, which will damage the reputation of my family." The gentleman said generously just now.

"Earl Foucault is right, and I do not want my family to appear in the court. I would like to ask everyone to let my family surround the ungrateful stupid slave, although my family does not have a well-made guillotine and a strong sturdy hanger, but my family also has a notarized judgment." Earl Sabain said.

The young man thought about it thoughtfully when he heard the two older companions say this.

It is indeed not a glorious thing to let the family name appear in the court.

Anyway, in addition to the dirty water that can rot the skin, the dungeons in the family are filled with many terrifying mice that eat human flesh.

It is even easier to use than His Majesty the King's guillotine and gallows.

The young man nodded.

Some other people standing behind them also stepped forward and asked Count Laiwei to let them surround the slaves who violated the rules on their own.

Judging from their gritted teeth, it is hard to imagine that there are a few of these businessmen who can save their lives.

Earl Laiwei was naturally willing to treat these wealthy nobles, but it was a worrying thing for him to be unwilling to appear in the court. He originally planned to use these angry wealthy families as the most powerful weapon against Earl Robert.

Seeing Count Laiwei's thoughtful look, the Earl Foucault naturally understood what Count Laiwei was thinking.

He walked to Count Lavig and said, "Don't worry, although my family does not want to appear in the court, we will not let go of a despicable person like Count Robert. I can prove to the Elder House that everything I see, hear and know, and the Elder House will definitely send someone to investigate this matter."

"Yes, after I return to the capital, I will meet His Majesty the King immediately and inform His Majesty of the Earl of Robert's crimes." said the young man.

Hearing these two people assured, Count Laiwei felt relieved. He no longer had to worry about the Count Robert.
