Chapter 1 The Hidden Young Prosecutor (Part 2)
After night came, Leo came to his father's residence in mourning clothes that represented the petition for death.
"To be honest, the situation is very complicated now." The father, who was sitting in the ring chair, said in embarrassment, and then he said to Leo, "It's better to talk about your plan first."
When Leo retelled Octavia's thoughts, the high priest laughed, "Who told you that this crazy and stupid way? Is it the woman of the Octavian family?"
But Leo didn't say anything, but just knelt down in front of his father, refusing to take off his mourning clothes. The thunder of early winter sounded again outside, "Actually, as a high priest, it would be impossible for me to save Turinus. Now there is an abnormal thunder. As long as I say there is an abnormal sign in the sky and delay the judgment, it will be no big problem."
"But my father had previously passed legislation on the Protective and the People's Council, abolishing the Chief Executive and the Elders' power to block meetings and vote on the excuse of bad omen. Then, to move such power, the twelve priests of Jupiter, the twelve priests of Framen, and the Virgin Priestess Group must be passed together."
Li Bida, standing at the window, said, "After all, I am a high priest now. It is not difficult for the three to join forces to pass through."
"But if time goes on so long, Cicero can continue to bite. Not only will Turinus not be elected as the second-level consul, but he will not be able to go to the Greek theater to command the legion to fight." Leo said in a worried tone.
So the high priest sighed, came to his son, helped him up, and asked in a low voice in the thunder. "If I go and ask Cicero to ask him to preside over the withdrawal of the prosecution against Turinus, are you willing or not?"
"Father, I..." Leo said calmly.
Li Bida smiled and held his son's thin shoulders with his hands again, "I'll ask again, is this the real idea in your heart, and are you willing to follow this idea? Don't hesitate, now there is not much time! I also have to think about how to face Corinna. In fact, Leo, you are clear about the internal situation of the situation. In this world, there are only two people who know you best, your Portimama, and me, your father. In addition, I can say without shame that although I rarely stayed with you when you were young, I was still the one who knew you in the end. It was my father. In this regard, you will understand Vivia and your son in another ten years."
Under the father's questioning, Leo lowered his long eyelashes and thundered. In the white flash, Leo raised his face and finally told his father in the thunder.
"Okay, very good..." Li Bida let go of his hand, then walked to the seat, turned his back to his son, and finally said, "You need money, right? Now in the vault of Ostia River Harbor, there are two hundred Tarent's emergency funds I have stored privately, you can use them."
On the second day, in court, most of the judicial officers and selected knights collectively filed a motion, demanding that the case be pursued until now and not dig further.
"Tell me your reasons." Bisuo thought that the drama would end here, but for the sake of procedures, it was more important to have an explanation for the audience seats and the waiting people outside, so he began to ask.
"There is no direct evidence now, pointing out that Turinus is the mastermind behind the scenes, and the defendant is the heir of the Julius family after all. Who would really believe that the heirs will point their sword at his guardian? For the sake of the solidarity of the Republic, we unanimously believe that this matter will end in the end, which is more in the interests of all parties. Of course, the premise is that Turinus is responsible for this matter after all, so after private consultations, it is better to disqualify Turinus from running for consul within three years."
"I don't think this judgment is too big a problem. If you all agree, there is no need to vote." Bisuo nodded, and then he turned his eyes to the high priest in the auditorium.
Li Bida also smiled and nodded to Bisuo, saying that he had no objection to the verdict. So Bisuo discussed with Pansa a few more words, "What should we do with Sifax and Vonteuz?"
"Sifax can only be like this." As he said that, Pansa made a gesture of slashing his neck, "As for Vonteyus, he was a knight after all, so he left some room for his life. According to the normal law, he could be sentenced to permanent exile."
"You are a legal scholar who was familiar with before and always worked under Caesar's account. I have no reason not to accept your proposal." Bisso shook hands with Pansa privately. Since everyone reached a tacit understanding, he was ready to read the results in public.
The door of the room where Turinus was also opened in advance. Diros walked in and said to Turinus with a smile, "The trial has come naturally, and almost all the judges think that you are not responsible, and you will be released soon."
Tulinus, who had been a few years old, slowly raised his head and savored Diros' words for several minutes, and then laughed. It was a kind of laughter that survived the disaster. "Give me another three years, I will still climb to the top." Tulinus thought in his heart, and he slowly stood up. With Diros' support (his body has become extremely weak due to worries and anxiety in the past two days), he slowly walked to the door, ready to welcome the free breathing and sunshine.
At this time, the young prosecutor standing under the court courtyard shouted, "Wait, I still have critical evidence that has not been submitted. This evidence is enough to condemn Tulinus's crime of great rebellion!"
So Bisuo had already reached the verdict and swallowed it, and Cicero shouted a few loudly with a group of veterans in the auditorium, then applauded, with some kind of sarcasm and mockery, as if all plans were in control.
Li Bida stood up and angrily scolded the young prosecutor, "Don't go too far, you are Turinus's righteous brother, little Phillips!"
This sentence almost instantly defeated Turinus standing in front of the door. He fell and held the post to not fall. Then he narrowed his eyes and carefully identified the dense crowd standing in the courtroom. Then, slowly finally, at the most central position, he saw his righteous brother, stepfather's biological son, Octavia's husband, and little Phillips, whose fuzz had just been cut off from his lips. Yes, it was him!
