Reincarnation Paradise
Chapter 1685 Those in Power
On the second floor of the Palace of Parliament, the Arbitration Hall.
The function of this arbitration hall is very single. It is not used to judge the most evil people, but to judge officials, or in other words, the upper-level officials of the empire.
The arbitration hall, which has not been used for a month, is still neat and tidy. The thick curtains are drawn tightly, the crystal lamp in the center of the ceiling is lit, and well-dressed officials are whispering to each other. The arbitration has not yet begun.
At the innermost side of the arbitration hall is a tall judge's table, with some documents placed on it. There is no one behind the judge's table, and on the back of the chair, there is a pattern of two crossed swords.
There is an open space in front of the judge's desk. The smooth marble floor is spotless. In the center of the arbitration hall, there is a special wooden chair with iron bars around it. Obviously, this is the 'special seat' for the judged. No one thinks Sit here.
The 'special seat' is opposite to the judge's table, and on the left and right sides of the special seat, close to the wall, there are two rows of wooden tables. At this time, there are already people sitting behind the wooden tables, and most of the people sitting here are quite old. , it is conservatively estimated that the average age is over 50 years old. They have serious expressions, and some are taking a nap with their eyes closed.
Behind the 'special seats', there are several rows of seats, which are almost full of people. Mrs. Nancy is sitting in the first row. She is a little uneasy. Gus, Hank, and Reinhardt are sitting there. Sitting in the last row, Old Hank was muttering something at this time, looking at the people sitting behind the wooden table from time to time. These are all members of the parliament. Except for the monarch, when they are gathered together, they will be the highest authority in the empire. The premise is that It was they who dared to gather together.
The door next to the judge's table was pushed open, and everyone in the room stood up and bowed their heads while pressing their right hands on their chests.
Lord Harold's pace was not fast. He sat behind the judge's table and took a sip from the teacup on it.
"Everyone, take a seat."
As soon as Harold finished speaking, the congressmen and spectators sat down one after another. The congressmen looked quite natural, but most of the spectators were a little nervous. Harold just sat there, putting a lot of pressure on them.
Gus took the opportunity to look at Harold. Unexpectedly, Harold's gaze happened to be looking here as well. Gus immediately tensed up. He had never been so nervous before when he was fighting with the ghost.
"Idiot, lower your head."
Bonnie's voice came, and she poked Gus's waist with her finger. Who was Gus? He was the flat-headed brother among the Awakeners, so he grinned at Harold and stayed as long as he wanted. , and finally nodded.
Harold glanced at Gus with interest. He didn't pay attention to Gus's somewhat rude behavior. He just raised his hand to pick up the documents on the table. When he saw Gus with scars on his face, speaking from personal emotions, , Harold felt uncomfortable. This young man, who was similar in age to his eldest son, had become less human due to his battle with ghosts.
But judging from the monarch's point of view, people like Gus must exist, and they must be properly handled after use to keep them away from densely populated areas. If the risk is too high, they must be dealt with directly and secretly.
"cough."
Harold cleared his throat, and the whispers in the arbitration hall disappeared. There were four important figures in today's arbitration, Lord Harold, Congressman Leopold, Congressman Jones, and Deputy Commander Cuculin White Night.
There are 12 MPs in the empire. Interestingly, the 12 MPs are divided into two factions. One is the radical faction, headed by Mr. Leopold. They advocate continuing to expand the territory, march into the surrounding oceans, and fully explore the world. If we solve the problem of ghosts, at least now ghosts are hunted down by humans and cannot raise their heads. Of course, this will require terrible expenses, including increased taxes and other issues.
The other group is the conservatives, represented by Congressman Jones. They advocate developing the occupied land first and solving the problem of ghosts before exploring outwards to prevent other dangerous intelligent creatures from emerging on the continent beyond the ocean. .
In fact, the beliefs of radicals and conservatives are completely funny. Even Congressman Jones himself has ridiculed how the gloomy guy Leopold could come up with such lame beliefs. Doesn't he feel ashamed?
The reason why radicals and conservatives are in opposition is actually to express an attitude. They will never unite to show their goodwill to the monarch Harold. You are the king and the real ruler of the empire.
None of the congressmen are as bad as what the outside world has said. Being able to climb to this position shows a lot of problems.
"The reason why everyone is here today must be clear to you. Please tell me your views on the murder of Joshua Eddy by Cuculin White Night."
Harold's words were actually spoken to the two members of Congress, Leopold and Jones, who can represent all members of the assembly.
"In this case, it would be rude. I have something to say."
Congressman Jones stood up. He was nearly sixty years old, slightly chubby, and his oily face gave off a kind impression. He took a deep breath, as if to stabilize his emotions.
"Everyone here must have heard what kind of person Sir Eddie was during his lifetime. He used his personal assets to build 17 hospitals and 35 orphanages. Such a person... such a person..."
Councilor Jones said that the circles under his eyes were red, and it could be seen that he was really sad.
"Such a good man was brutally murdered in his home!"
Congressman Jones's voice suddenly rose in pitch, and the slightly tearful voice was even more infectious. A girl in a black dress in the gallery clenched her fists and muttered: 'What a bastard. ’
"Congressman Jones, calm down."
Harold's expression remained unchanged. If he could say that the congressman he annoyed the most was this one. Every time the other party's interests were touched, the almost seventy-year-old man would cry so sadly.
"Your Majesty, I lost my temper."
Congressman Jones wiped his tears, adjusted his breathing again, and spoke righteously: "Sir Eddie was a decent man during his lifetime. He was killed so brutally. I will definitely help him seek justice!"
Congressman Jones's speech ends here. What's interesting is that those observers who don't know much about the situation have a sharp decline in Su Xiao's impression. Don't underestimate these observers. They are either related to this matter or must be involved in it. Officials, of course, are Sir Eddie's family.
What's even more interesting is that Congressman Jones never mentioned Su Xiao directly. Obviously, he is also an old scumbag who wants to establish his own image of being affectionate and righteous without completely offending Su Xiao.
Crying came from the auditorium. It didn't take much to know that it was Sir Eddie's family members. They had only one task today, to cry until they could live. These people's hearts were like Mirror. Once the secrets were exposed, they would be All will die.
"quiet."
Harold's voice was low, but the arbitration hall immediately fell silent, and he looked at Representative Leopold.
Leopold raised his head slightly, and his hooked nose made him look a bit old-fashioned and gloomy.
"Your Majesty, I propose that Deputy Commander Cuculin be acquitted."
After saying that, Representative Leopold sat back on his seat, and Representative Jones, who was more than ten meters away from him, was looking at him in surprise.
There was an uproar in the auditorium, and Bonnie in the back row stared closely at Representative Leopold. She keenly discovered one thing, that is, Representative Leopold wanted to kill Su Xiao.
