Two Cities, I build mecha in Picheng

Chapter 450 Mrs. Gray Arrives

"Li Lin!" Sa Luo, who was originally violent, finally couldn't bear it any longer. He slapped the table and stood up angrily, "Don't think that you are known as a 'future pioneer', so you dare to be so arrogant! This is the parliament, the highest authority in the upper city. Not on other occasions!"

Polpok followed up and said, "Usually we respect you for your genius mind and contribution to Uptown, but that doesn't mean you can get your nose in the face."

"Parliament is a place for councilors to discuss important matters, and it may be related to the future of Piltover. Since you are a member of the Gilaman councilor family, you must be very clear about this matter." Voslaton's tone was also not kind, And brought Karina in.

It was Hoskar who didn't know what to say because they took the first step, so he just stared at Li Lin with what he thought was a vicious look, without saying a word.

Heimerdinger and Mel looked a little embarrassed, they didn't figure out what he wanted to do, and Karina was the same, her face was not very good-looking, but she didn't mean to be harsh.

She just felt that Li Lin's behavior of not discussing things in advance was a little inappropriate, just like the way he defended the bottom city two years ago and made a "five-year agreement" with other congressmen.

However, they all automatically ignored Li Lin's last sentence to talk about the crimes committed by the MPs.

"Don't get excited, I didn't mean anything malicious, I just wanted to discuss the legal issues of Piltover with you." Li Lin smiled deliberately in an indifferent tone.

Immediately afterwards, he unhurriedly raised his right hand, only to see that the clothes on his cuffs changed into the previous appearance again, and the precipitated substances were combined into a drone.

There was silence in the hall of the council. Hoskar and Voslaton sat up straight, and the gears on Polpok's mechanical face sped up and down, representing the change of his mood.

Even Salo touched the shiny "Mediterranean" and sat down again, frowning, to see what Li Lin was going to do.

"The long-term stability of a city-state is inseparable from strict and fair laws that can keep pace with the times. It has been 218 years since Piltover was founded, and the laws have been amended more than once.

"By the way, Senator Gilaman, do you know which edition the criminal law of Piltover has been amended to?"

Karina froze for a moment, "Uh... it has been revised to the 17th edition, and other codes such as the Civil Code and Commercial Code have also been revised no less than 10 times, and the codes related to the protection of artisans and patents have been revised 25 times. .”

"That's right. Picheng has developed for more than 200 years, and already has a very complete legal system. Citizens of the common class must abide by it, and members of big families must also abide by it, including councilors."

As soon as Li Lin finished speaking, there was a brief silence in the air again.

Hoskar looked left and right, and in order to make up for the regret of not being able to speak, he took the lead in refuting: "Of course we abide by the law. What exactly do you want to express?"

"That's right... that's right!" Salo's confidence was not enough compared to just now, "We are councilors, the leaders of the upper city, and the laws have been revised by us, and we should abide by them!"

Wothraton frowned slightly, and looked at Saro with anger in his eyes, as if he was dissatisfied with his remarks.

Karina and Mel's eyes of different colors glanced at Sa Luo, and a flash of light flashed in the depths of their eyes.

Heimerdinger blew on the beard at the corner of his mouth, unable to understand what they were talking about. Sometimes it was a crime, and sometimes it was the enactment and revision of laws.

Of course, Li Lin had a panoramic view of the subtle changes in the expressions of the congressmen.

Among the MPs present here, Karina is quite a decent person, a complete neutral conservative.

Although she once made a decision to squeeze Bottom City in order to cater to other councilors, it was really a helpless move.

After all, parliament passed decisions by a show of hands voting system, and the minority obeyed the majority. She alone, even including Mel and Heimerdinger, could not change anything.

Mel, as an "abandoned son" of the Myrdalda blood in Noxus, came to Piltover with his outstanding ability to win the sponsorship of the Pheros family, and also had a good relationship with the Saro family.

Because Camille has been involved in every major and minor matter of the Philos family, all Mel needs to do is to serve as the "eyeliner" of the Philos family in the parliament. She has never done anything out of the ordinary.

A few days ago, her biological mother Ambersa wanted to "borrow" some Hex weapons to revitalize the Myrdalda family of Noxus and save them from Swain's liquidation, but she was rejected, not to mention other things.

Not to mention Heimerdinger.

He is not interested in anything but scientific research and the exploration of new technologies.

Judging from the information Li Lin has collected so far, the Saro, Hoskar, Polpok, and Worthlaton families have committed the most crimes.

"Ahem..." Sa Luo also seemed to realize that his words were inappropriate. He paused for two or three seconds, cleared his throat, and said again: "So... what do you want to say? Why do you want to bring up the law? ?”

"It's nothing else."

Li Lin shook his head, with a smile on his face, but no smile could be seen.

"I just think it's too inappropriate for some criminals to be members of parliament who manage the country?"

When these words came out, Karina, Mel, and Heimerdinger were stunned.

The faces of Saro, Hoskar, and Vosladon gradually darkened, obviously because they were very angry at Li Lin's words.

"What do you mean?" Polpok demanded in a mechanically hoarse voice. "You're saying we're criminals?"

"Ah, no, no, you misunderstood." Li Lin crossed his hands and leaned forward on the table. "I didn't mean everyone, I just meant those who had ghosts in their hearts."

As he said that, his gaze once again swept over Vosladon next to Karina, and Polpok, Saro, and Hoskar who were sitting opposite to each other.

"Who the hell are you talking about?" Sa Luo pointed at Li Lin and snapped.

"Whoever answers my words doesn't have a ghost in their hearts?" Li Lin gestured to Karina, Mel and Heimerdinger, "Didn't you notice that they didn't respond?"

"--you!"

"Member Saro, calm down, calm down...we must not be led astray by this brat." Hoskar comforted him instead of making trouble.

Seeing Li Lin's toughness, Voslaton and Polpok gradually realized that something was wrong, they just looked at each other from time to time and kept silent.

"My child, you must pay attention to evidence when you speak and act, especially when you accuse others."

Heimerdinger didn't want to make Li Lin and the four congressmen too tense, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only say something that he thought was fair.

"Since I dare to say it, I naturally have my confidence."

Li Lin snapped his fingers again, and the drone, which had been separated and had been suspended in the air, turned on the projection device, displaying the holographic projection screen according to the different angles that everyone faced.

It lists evidence of various crimes committed by the Saro, Horskall, Polpok, and Vothladon families, including but not limited to smuggling contraband, exploiting Zaun labor, favoritism, and colluding with Noxus nobles and many more.

Colluding with Noxus to smuggle Hex devices and weapons are the Polpok and Vothladon families. This time, Plank suddenly asked to increase the tax on the Hex Fly Gate. The En family, secretly doing small tricks.

Among them, the most egregious ones are the human trafficking cases that the Salo and Hoskar families have been involved in for more than ten years, and did not stop until the Alchemy Baron was banned in the past two years.

As for where the kidnapped people went...

Some of them were treated as live experiments and handed over to the alchemy barons for alchemy technology experiments, and the other part was sold to Noxus to become slaves or "cannon fodder" in the liquidator's arena for entertainment.

Salo clenched his fists and slammed the table hard, "This, this... this is slander! It's slander!"

"How could we do such a thing?!" Hoskar also stood up and yelled, the harsh sound of chairs rubbing against the ground echoed in the parliament hall.

Compared with their two not-so-bright-minded congressmen, Voslaton and Polpok looked much calmer and calmer.

Wothlaton's hand tapping the table finally stopped, "Since you brought up the law, you must know how the crime of defamation and falsification of evidence is punished in Piltover, right?"

"What's more, this is slandering the councilor. Even if you are the son-in-law of Councilor Gilamanen, this alone is enough for you to be imprisoned for a few years... Oh yes, it is the most strict and chaotic Stillwater Prison in the upper city." Polpok added.

"Li Lin..."

Caitlin, who was standing in the auditorium, was full of worry, and her two white hands were tightly intertwined, trying to come out to help him.

She felt that with her intelligence and evidence, it would be easy to break through the psychological defenses of several congressmen.

However, Li Lin just looked back at her, and the meaning in his eyes was very clear: just leave it to me.

"The evidence is solid, do you still want to deny it?"

Li Lin turned his head back and leaned on the back of the chair, without the slightest sense of tension in his words.

"If you are willing to plead guilty, considering your senators' status and your contribution to Piltover, you may be given a lighter punishment, maybe you will be locked up for decades?"

"Presumptuous, really presumptuous!" Sa Luo became more and more angry, spitting stars, "It seems that you really don't know how to repent?!"

"Come on, where is Sergeant Grayson? Drag this guy to me!"

"Wait!" Karina suddenly got up and shouted, her face was cold, "Mr. Salo, Mr. Hoskar, we haven't even read the evidence before us, how can you be sure that Li Lin is spreading rumors and slander? "

"Member Gilaman, is it still worth watching?" Sa Luo asked sharply, his words and expressions seemed to be really slandered, "Do you think we will do such a heartless thing?! "

"Li Lin is a member of your family. He slandered us, but you still speak for him. Could it be that you ordered him to do what he did today?"

"Mr. Hoskar, you can't say such nonsense!" Mel also showed displeasure on his face, "I think you and I know very well what kind of person Mr. Gilaman is, how could she do what you said? This kind of thing?"

"Then how should we explain today's situation?" Wothlaton finally spoke, sneering: "I know that you have a good relationship with Councilor Gilaman, but you have always been rational, and I don't want any conflict between you two. Friendship blinds your eyes."

"Mel, you know me well, do you really believe that I will let the family do this kind of thing?"

Sa Luo also deliberately showed a sad expression. Although his acting skills are a bit lame, it is still quite useful in terms of the current situation.

"This..." Mel's gaze turned to Li Lin inadvertently, with uncertainty in his eyes.

"Child, it seems that everyone is unwilling to admit the evidence on the data. Do you have actual evidence?"

Heimerdinger's eyes were full of worry. He didn't want such a genius who led the Shuangcheng into an era of innovation to be imprisoned for the crime of "slandering a congressman".

Li Lin just shook his head with a smile and didn't answer his question.

"Hmph, it looks like it's just a bluff." Hoskall became hardened, and slapped the table hard, "Where's Sheriff Grayson? Where did she go? Do you still want to retire as a sheriff?"

At this moment, a female voice that silenced everyone echoed in the hall: "Sheriff Grayson is not here, can you watch me?"

Along with the sound of air blowing and metal friction and collision, the sound of metal rope friction echoed.

Immediately afterwards, a woman wearing a feminine custom-made tuxedo, whose whole body was transformed into a metal shell, and whose legs were made of special materials into sharp blades, descended from the sky on a hook lock.

"Madame Gray!"
