Chapter 15(2/2)
He even suspected that after this unexpected and successful performance, perhaps the Southern Corps would sincerely obey the new commander
The hearing was finally continued, but this time there was no more twists and turns. In fact, the result of the hearing was already expected by everyone. The only thing that he did not expect was that the Count who presided over the hearing became so strict.
In the end, it was like a representative of the Southern Legion begging for the defendant. This unexpected contrast made all the lords attending the hearing feel ridiculous.
In fact, when the hearing was halfway through, the lords no longer focused on this hearing. The noise of whispering and whispering sounds completely interrupted the hearing several times.
However, the hearing was not disturbed by the whispering voices that were privately discussed, and was still proceeding in an orderly manner according to fixed steps.
Anyway, whether it is the people on the stage who are busy with the fixed hearing procedures or the lords who are listening below who have clearly known the ending, they have now focused on another matter that concerns their vital interests.
A few weeks ago, when Grand Duke Sham proposed to form an alliance among the southern states, most lords were obviously unwilling to do so, because Grand Duke Sham was definitely not the right candidate for the league leader in their minds. The reason why this alliance was formed was because of fear of the strength of Grand Duke Sham, and on the other hand, it was because once the turmoil occurred, if there was no strong backing, it was indeed very likely to become a victim of the turmoil.
The subsequent series of changes obviously confirmed the worries in the hearts of all lords. For most lords, anger may be second. What really makes them feel sad is that they are worried that the alliance may be destroyed.
But at this moment, a most suitable candidate suddenly appeared in front of them. These lords could not wait to discuss after the hearing. The private whispers quickly turned into discussions in small circles. You can see everywhere that the lords were crowded between the seemingly narrow seats. These people who were qualified to be lords were all quite big, which made them look quite funny, but no one cared about them at this moment.
The Grand Duke Sham, who was supposed to be the protagonist of the hearing, was even more difficult to attract everyone's attention. His cowardly and weak look even made everyone feel disgusted. He obviously knew what his fate would be like. He lowered his head, leaned against the chair, and his legs were spread weakly. If the two guards hadn't grasped his body tightly, he would have slipped on the ground.
Finally, a heavy wooden hammer hit everyone, and the lords who were whispering to each other immediately turned their heads.
The five or six clerks who were originally sitting on both sides had already stood up to sort out the records, and the hearing host was standing slowly from his seat.
"Everyone, I am very happy that this hearing can end perfectly. I believe you have no doubt about the crimes committed by the defendant Antidan Wiesen Felibank Sham."
"The defendant Antidendant Vison Felibank Sham was confirmed to have dereliction of duty for appointing Earl Greed as the chief of the ranks of the ranks of the ranks, and was confirmed to have abused his power for levying 736,751 gold dollars from the southern states, and was confirmed to have deducted military pay because he only handed over the 174,322 gold dollars from the sum to the Southern Legion.
He included the 400,216 gold dollars of this amount into his own property, and was confirmed to have committed the crime of privately stealing state property. He was confirmed to have privately divided state property because he gave the 50,000 gold dollars of this amount to Earl Greed, and was also confirmed to have committed the crime of bribery. He was confirmed to have embezzled military expenses because he took 112,213 gold dollars to the Trost Finance Office."
The Count suddenly raised his voice and said, "Because the defendant committed several crimes of deducting military pay, stealing state property, privately dividing state property and misappropriating military expenditure, he was convicted of treason. This confirmation letter will be submitted to the General Staff, the Cabinet and the Palace. If you have no doubts about this confirmation letter, please sign your own name on the confirmation letter."
As he said that, the Count ordered the guards to pass on the document in his hand. The documents were from left to right, passing through the hands of each lord. The lords who attended the hearing signed their names on the white paper behind.
When the document finally returned to the hands of the Count, the Count stood up and said, "Everyone, according to the accused Antredon Wiesen Felibank Sham, there is no room for forgiveness and tolerance, he can only use his life to redeem his crimes."
"For everyone, life is only once, so for a prisoner who is about to lose his life, it is meaningless to use the method of punishing him. However, some methods, although cruel, can make the prisoner use the pain he suffers on earth to relieve the suffering he will suffer in the abyss of hell, and others are to allow the prisoner to rest as soon as possible."
"The death penalty is a warning to the living in a greater sense. Because of this, the philosopher has created so many ways of death penalty for us, and now I will hand over the power of choice to you."
Before the count finished speaking, an angry voice came from the seat below.
"The stolen, only the stolen can rest the souls of the dead soldiers, only the stolen spirit can be extended."
"Stolen", "Stolen", "Stolen".
A neat and unanimous roar came from the mouths of the lords. It was obvious that the exploitation that Grand Duke Sham had given them made them determined to add to the guy whom they hated with the cruelest punishment.
"Stolen", "Stolen", "Stolen".
The roar echoed in the city hall, and suddenly everyone seemed to hear the sounds that echoed outside the numerous gates.
The lords gradually became quiet, but the roar full of anger never stopped.
"The whole square was boiling, no, it should be said that the entire Trost was boiling, and almost everyone was shouting to give the punishment that Grand Duke Sham deserved." A guard officer running from outside the door reported.
"It seems that this is an undeniable will. If I try to give mercy to this poor man, I am afraid that even the merciful Father God will not forgive me." Earl Kemilan said pretendingly.
Suddenly he turned his face up, and his speed of turning against him was even faster than lightning.
"As the host of this hearing, I announced that the defendant will be at stake in Platinum Square three days later. At the same time, I announced that the defendant's property will be completely confiscated, but this does not include the property owned by the defendant's family and cannot affect innocent people because of anger."
A deafening roar sounded as the verdict fell, only the defendant who lowered his head slowly raised his head, his eyes filled with despair, and the unsightly eyes kept looking at the majestic prince. Suddenly, a wisp of blood appeared on the corner of his mouth, and bright red blood flowed out of his mouth like a breach.
"Come on, call the pastor, hurry up, the defendant bit his tongue and committed suicide." The hearing was immediately in chaos, and there were noisy shouts everywhere.
The figure was piercing around, sometimes blocking the defendant's increasingly confused and unconscious vision, but at this moment he seemed to be able to penetrate everything, always staring straight ahead, looking at the place where his majestic cousin was sitting.
It seemed that there was no soul, as if it was just a pair of empty eyes, but it made the prince feel endless resentment and sadness.
The resentful eyes made his heart tremble, and the sad expression made him feel sad. Just as he was about to react, he suddenly felt a pair of dry but powerful palms gently pressing his shoulders.
"This is the end of the loser." An extremely low and slow voice came from the prince's ears.
His Highness the Prince obviously could not answer the words of Master Og at this moment, but he straightened his body again and stared at the front with bright eyes. He seemed to use the flames in his eyes to burn out the resentment in the empty eyes.
In the trance of the figure, the resentful eyes finally slowly closed, and the once glorious figure finally gradually lowered his head.
At this time, the pastor had arrived, but when the pastors looked at Grand Duke Sham's appearance, they shook their heads involuntarily. One of them carefully put his hand on Grand Duke Sham's neck. After a while, he slowly turned his head and said to everyone: "Dear lords, the defendant escaped the fate of accepting punishment on the stolen platform. He used death to free himself from another death."
"I didn't expect that he was such a cowardly guy, and it was useless to waste my expectations for him. I originally thought he would perform a Bangcha dance on the red platform with a smile." Suddenly, a smirk came from the crowd.
"I'm afraid I can only leave it to Count Gret to perform this kind of dance for us. Anyway, I will still recommend using stolen to punish every criminal involved in this matter." Another lord said with a smile.
"The most urgent thing is to buy a bridle and a chew as soon as possible. I was even a little worried that the jailers' hands and feet were not as fast as those guys' teeth. Grand Duke Sham set a very bad example this time, and I'm afraid other criminals will follow." Another person interrupted, and his words seemed to prove that being sarcastic was not the patent of women.
At this moment, a low bell sound came from afar, echoing in this city hall, as if it was a death knell mourning for the man who had just died.
