Silent Crown Chapter 420: I changed my mind

In the short break of the adjournment.

In the closely guarded room, Ye Qingxuan and Maxwell were sitting opposite each other, speechless.

Ye Qingxuan looked at him, and after a long time, asked:

"Michelle... why did he do this?"

"Probably because of the dream waking up, right?"

Maxwell said: "He should have understood for decades. When the Inquisition was disbanded, that dream was broken.

In order to continue this dream, he can pay any price.

Recruiting Colt is a risky fight. He wants to give the Doctrinal Department a shot, but now, the Psychiatric shot has become a poison, and the Department of Faith has completely become a joke, forever There will be no recurrence.

Since that time, he has been desperate. "

"Actually, he didn't need this..."

"For idealists, the scariest thing is to recognize the distant gap between ideals and reality. This is more painful than falling into hell, isn't it?"

Maxwell looked at him: "I believe that you have a deep understanding of this."

Ye Qingxuan was silent.

"I know you are not willing to accept, but you must always respect his sacrifice."

Maxwell looked at him: "But you have to think about the people you care about. You don't want Miller's things to be repeated, do you?

People always care about things while they are alive, and in order to care about things, they always have to do dirty things. If he doesn't stand up today, then his family will fall apart... His parents and brothers, and everyone who cares will lose everything.

Don't give others an excuse to attack you, Ye Qingxuan, you are not afraid of death, but think about your teacher and Bai Xi. "

Ye Qingxuan remained silent.

After a long time, he asked in a low voice:

"Any smoke?"

Maxwell threw a pack of cigarettes into his arms. With shackles, Ye Qingxuan opened the package lamely, bent over and put the cigarette in front of Maxwell's lighter, and the cigarette ignited.

Ye Qingxuan inhaled the stinging smoke deeply, and sighed softly after a long time: "Maxwell, your lord’s world is really complicated."

"Yes."

Maxwell nodded, "Complicated and dirty, so adults will become disgusting."

"What did Angelu promise Michelle?" Ye Qingxuan asked.

"A lot."

Maxwell said: "It includes a new colony in the dark world, three thousand young people who can read and read, a large number of supplies, and fifty musicians each year... It just so happens that I have most of these things. .

I gave him my fief. "

"..."

Ye Qingxuan was taken aback, then smiled bitterly: "I owe you."

"You don't owe me anything, but you really should regret it. It should have been yours originally."

Maxwell glanced at him: "Just treat it as your life money. Remember to work hard in the future, at least give me my pension back."

He got up and patted Ye Qingxuan on the shoulder: "Take a good rest. After you appear in court, I will ask you and your teacher to celebrate for you in the best restaurant in the holy city."

Ye Qingxuan nodded, watching him go away.

After a long time, he lowered his eyes, recalling the flash of gloom in Borja's eyes in his memory, and couldn't help sighing in a low voice:

"I hope so."

-

-

There is silence in the office.

The dim light passed through the curtains and fell on Borja's face, his complexion livid, staring silently at the holy emblem on the wall, without saying a word.

Until a long time later, a hoarse voice came from the dark corner.

"One-sided words, don't be credulous."

"Everyone knows that this is a one-sided word, but who can say this sentence?"

Borha shook his head, "Mr. Ludovich, if the situation is allowed to continue, I can only sentence Ye Qingxuan to acquittal. Anyway, for the Yixin Brotherhood, if you want to kill him, there is no Are there many ways? Why are you here?"

"Stupid!"

Ludovich sneered: "If we really want him to die, we don’t need to wait until the court. In the cell, in the toilet, and even in the bathroom... It’s easy to want to die alone, but his Dead can't solve the problem, but will intensify the situation.

Only by letting him die above the court's verdict will it be meaningful and prove that the decrees of the Holy City do not tolerate any blasphemy and provocation.

Don't you understand this truth? Borja.

Otherwise, the law and dignity of the holy city will become a joke, and where will you be when the time comes? You don’t want to inherit a vain Ministry of Forgiveness in the future, right? "

Borha was silent, his eyes wandering.

"Borja, think about Michelle's fate."

Ludovich's words did not stop: "How did the incomparably powerful Inquisition become what it is today in the hands of the short-sighted and ignorant nations?

In order to rejuvenate the Department of Faith, I had to die humiliatingly in the courtroom.

The heresy who deserves to fall into **** has only the untimely dream of the Eastern Expedition in his mind all his life. When he is alive, he is like a walking dead, and he is not worried when he is dead.

You don’t want to be like that, do you? "

"I'm thinking..."

Borha lowered his head and suddenly asked: "What if this is what the Pope meant? If..."

"The problem is that this is not what your majesty meant."

Ludovich’s voice is hoarse, like a wind in the cellar: "Since he was injured in the Battle of the Hundred Arms 30 years ago, he should understand that the position of the Pope has become boring.

Over the years, he pretended to be in full bloom to frighten the nations and natural disasters, but unfortunately, his injuries have deteriorated to the point of imperative.

It is impossible for him to express any clear attitude. "

Borha was stunned, dumbfounded.

"Otherwise, why would he pretend to be so unpredictable?"

Ludovich sneered: "He knows better than anyone else that he is dead soon. If the fact of his weakness is exposed, the so-called majesty and sacredness will disappear, and he will be nothing."

Borja took a breath: "If this is the case, the holy city..."

"The holy scripture says that you must not worship idols except me.

But the most ridiculous thing about the holy city is that it places all its honor and strength on one person.

Borja, the inheritance that our ancestors have accumulated through all the hardships has been enjoyed exclusively by one person. But are you really willing to let him take all this to the so-called kingdom of heaven?

Don't be naive, Borja.

Do you think that your majesty brought you all this? The joke, it's us! Over the years, we have been maintaining the operation of this world and maintaining the stability of the countries.

Don't give in to the corpse sitting on the sacred chair waiting to decay, it's time to get back what belongs to us! "

In the silence, Borha swallowed dryly and spit, and after a long time, he made a difficult voice:

"My father...does he know about this?"

"He has understood this since the day he joined us."

Ludovich came from the darkness, stretched out his hand, and pressed his shoulders: "Borja, the Holy See One Heart Brotherhood was born for this. And you will eventually be one of us."

"I understand."

Borha nodded, his expression changed, and finally made up his mind:

"I will fix it."

-

-

Ten minutes later, the adjournment is over.

But Judge Borja was five minutes late.

For the first time, Borja was late in court, showing his authority, but faintly smelling bad. When he hurriedly returned to his position, his expression had become solemn and solemn.

"The trial begins."

Borha knocked down the gavel.

In the silence, everyone looked at him.

The trial has started, but how do you start? No one knew what to say, and even Bastian showed a look of error.

Aldrich asked: "Your Honor, is this meaningless trial going on?"

"The facts of the case are not yet clear, the conclusion has not been reached, and the trial is not over."

Borja has no expression on his face: "The procedure is as usual, just continue. None of them are in court on the first day. Do you want me to teach you how to do it?"

Aldrich frowned.

"Your Honor, I think the facts of the case have now come to light and we can reach a conclusion!" He asked in a solemn voice, "Are you going to ignore the testimony of Bishop Michel?"

In the audible silence of the needle drop, Borja remained silent, greeted everyone's eyes, and spoke again after a long time.

"The witness's testimony has yet to be verified. One person's testimony is not enough to draw a conclusion. The solitary testimony cannot be established and the case cannot be finalized."

He paused, and said calmly: "Because the witness was involved in the case, he could not appear as a witness. At the same time, he was not registered in the tainted witness procedure. Therefore, the relevant testimony will not be granted until the testimony is confirmed. Adopted.

In an instant, Aldrich's face turned pale.

Registration procedures for tainted witnesses?

Just kidding, if you travel to the seven departments of the holy city with a one-inch-thick form half a month in advance to collect stamps and register as a tainted witness, it will be the same as handing all your hole cards to the One Heart Brotherhood in advance. Let Michelle's testimony die.

The testimony of the witness needs to be verified?

So how to verify? What procedures are passed to verify? How much time is needed?

After ten and a half days, who will remember this incident?

The court has set out to throw Michelle's death aside, wait for it to cool down slowly, and finally be swept away in the pile of papers.

After a short period of time, Michelle's last sacrifice will disappear so quietly, leaving only a ridiculous story in the memories of a few people.

Aldrich clenched his fists and stared at Borja, the veins on the back of his hand bursting.

The worst thing happened!

If Borja had wanted to guarantee fairness on the surface, now under the influence of the Holy See One-hearted Brotherhood, he has completely favored the prosecutor.

Next, no matter how strong the evidence he produced, he couldn't take any advantage. When the referees of a game are bought, there is no more suspense about winning or losing.

What's more, this is not a court where both sides do their best. It is a court where judges are supreme to rule.

Now, Aldrich has no way to apply for a change of judge.

If the Holy Wheel Court has made a ruling, even if you want to appeal, there is no possibility.

Appeal? Where can I appeal? The Holy Wheel Court has represented the highest apex of judicial institutions in the world, second only to the Pope’s decree, but will the Pope punish Ye Qingxuan?

It's impossible for this kind of thing to happen...

"I object!" Aldrich roared: "Bishop Michel's testimony..."

"The objection is invalid."

Borja interrupted him and said coldly: "Mr. Aldrich, I have warned you again and again, don't rant about the court, come and drive him out."

The expressionless bailiff stepped forward, set up Aldrich, did not allow him to resist, and forcibly dragged him away.

"Absurd!"

Aldrich struggled and roared: "Where is the law! Where is the law! Borja, you will be nailed to the pillar of shame! Forever!"

The door closed suddenly.

There is dead silence.

Borha knocked the gavel: "The trial continues, the suspect, Ye Qingxuan, if you need a defense, the court will appoint a new lawyer for you."

Maxwell's expression is livid.

He didn't expect Borja to be so naked with justice and disregard, forcibly expelling Aldrich.

Ye Qingxuan was silent, raised his eyes and stared at Borha, his eyes changed.

It's getting cold.

Maxwell touched his forehead and couldn't help but feel a headache: Damn, something worse, I'm afraid it's about to happen.

The trial is continuing.

Bastien wiped off his sweat, his mind stabilized, and his fighting spirit rekindled: "Your Honor, we have new material evidence to submit. During the Auschwitz war, Ye Qing..."

His words were interrupted, from the voice behind him.

Ye Qingxuan.

"Mr. Judge."

He raised his head and sighed softly: "It doesn't need to be so troublesome, let's save each other's snacks."

"Suspects, pay attention to your words."

Borja frowned, "It's not yet time for you to speak."

"Are you worried about me repeating the one in front of the Holy City Gate here?"

Ye Qingxuan asked back, and then smiled: "Don't worry, this is the court, I am the suspect, and the position of the judge is supreme. There is no need to be so nervous, you see, it is well **** here."

He raised his hand and shook his handcuffs. The handcuffs rubbed and made a crisp sound.

In the silence, the sound was so harsh.

He stared at Borja’s pupils and said softly, “In fact, at the beginning, I had already planned to confess my guilt and accepted the ending of being hanged on the gallows.

The premise is that in a fair trial. Instead of being in such a comical repertoire as it is now! "

At the faint noise, Borja knocked down the gavel:

"Ye Qingxuan, pay attention to your words. This is the last warning!"

But Ye Qingxuan's voice did not stop.

"I regret that there is no justice and righteousness that I want here—from the moment you put Miller in court, I should have understood."

"It wasn't until Michelle died here that I found out: There is nothing I wanted to seek here. So, I changed my mind."

"Ye Qingxuan!"

Borha is furious: "Don't you learn to be in awe!"

"Sorry, Mr. Judge, I traveled all the way from south to north, and finally to the holy city. What I was looking for was not such a superficial ghost."

Ye Qingxuan stared at him and said every word: "Go ahead, Mr. Judge, you can send all my friends here one by one and let them correct my crime.

But I hope you will understand that I will never admit defeat here.

The harm they have suffered, I will pay them back thousands of times! "

"Presumptuous!"

Borha roared: "Ye Qingxuan, this is the court of the Holy Wheel, do you dare to blaspheme the holy emblem and the sacred? Come on! The suspect disturbs the court order and shall be sentenced to silence first!"

The mallet fell.

The bailiff rushed up, pressed Ye Qingxuan down, and slashed his throat with a palm, making his eyes black, almost breathless, and then the heavy shackles were locked on his neck, almost pressing He couldn't stand up straight.

The shackles locked his throat tightly, leaving only a short space for breathing.

Ye Qingxuan coughed violently, his voice was blocked by the shackles, and he gasped in silence.

"Mr. Borja, is this too rude?!" Maxwell stood up and questioned: "With all due respect, what you did makes people doubt your fairness."

"If you have any opinion on my position, you can appeal to the Ministry of Ability." Borja said coldly: "However, in the court of Holy Wheel, the status of judges can not be questioned.

A warning, representative Angelu, you have violated enough bans today! "

The furious sword sound flashed and passed, and was firmly suppressed.

Maxwell's face was pale, and he sat back in silence.

Beside him, Mr. Hu stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder.

"Be safe and not irritable."

He sighed softly: "There may not be a turnaround."

Maxwell lowered his eyes and said nothing.

Bastien looked at Ye Qingxuan's embarrassed look coldly, his eyes became mocking, and he was about to speak.

But I heard a hustle and bustle outside the door.

Amid the heavy footsteps, a man in a black robe and a weird lacquered crown broke through the door.

The man has a pale face and no beard, his skin is like a virgin, and his eyes are pitch black. He pushed the bailiff away from the gate, and walked in loudly, with a high-pitched voice:

"Look at your dogs, and dare to stop me!"

In the stunned eyes of everyone, dozens of guards dressed in black armor and black clothes and wearing long swords filed in behind him, and they broke into the Holy Wheel Court in this way.

The sudden change made everyone stunned ~ IndoMTL.com~ dumbfounded.

But the man looked around, examining how everyone was doing, but there were too many people, but he couldn't come over for a while, he was dazzled and called out:

"Where is Master Hou? Who is Master Ye Xiaohou?"

In silence, no one responded.

He was taken aback for a moment, his eyes lit up on the jury seat.

"Mr. Hu, you can make me easy to find! I arrived here at noon today. It has been a long time looking for you!"

"Sorry, sorry, something unexpected happened."

Mr. Hu suddenly looked embarrassed, got up with a cough, and walked over: "Daddy Zhao, why are so many people here? This is the holy city, your Majesty, maybe you are so foolish?"

"Mr. Hu, you have to be the master of our family!"

Grandpa Zhao grabbed his sleeve, his expression was about to cry with excitement. (To be continued.)
