Chapter 126 Laws of the City of Water

Margaery gave the old witch a strange look, as if curious, how did you end up going to the court to sue.

In the courtroom, the mayor was so angry that he blurted out to the lawyers from Florcana, saying: "It doesn't matter whether Proor was coerced or did it on his own initiative, no matter what he did, he launched a coup on the spot. Destroyed the town hall in Parvega."

"It's always what he does."

"He can't escape."

As everyone knows, this is a language trap set by the two lawyers.

"Your Honor, you said exactly what we meant," said Frocana's lawyers.

"But if this is the case, according to Ambrose's [Rosemond Code], the subordinates who launched the rebellion only need to confiscate all their property, deprive them of all rights and exile from the country of Viscount Ambrose, and are not allowed to return for life."

"The problem with Lord Prower is that he's just a victim like all of us..."

The mayor finally found himself in a trap, with sweat streaming down his brow.

The jury on the side had a discussion.

In the jury system, the decision-making power actually rests with the jury.

Thirty people on the jury were all debating.

Some wealthy businessmen in the jury spoke surprisingly, and agreed with the lawyer from Florence. Ivita didn't know whether they had received money, or because they really had a problem with their brains.

Margo Lee, a fur trader from the Noble Commercial Republic, laughed, "It's useless."

"Those two lawyers are wasting their efforts, because it is the jury that decides the verdict, and the jury generally does not choose local people because of the principle of taboo. That is to say, most of the people present are from Parvega Big businessmen from other places, but the volatility caused by yesterday's coup has delayed our business and seriously affected our interests."

"Even if you buy one or two people, you can't buy most of them."

"It's useless."

The jurors wrote their verdicts one by one, and Evita also wrote guilty and death penalty on the note handed over by the service staff.

Soon, the results were counted.

The mayor's expression softened significantly, "Thirteen jurors sentenced you to be an accessory, and two jurors found you not guilty, but there were still [-] people who sentenced you to immediate execution."

"Proll, I'm sorry to tell you that your trick didn't work."

The expressions of the two lawyers from Florcana changed again and again.

Although this result was within their expectations, after all, it is too difficult to defend the principal culprit of the coup.

But after hearing the result, the two of them still looked ugly.

If they could win the case here and get Lord Purl out of Ambrose safe and sound, they would be famous, but because Florcana believed that the virtue of citizenship was mediocrity.

Therefore, the reputation of the two of them is only bad in Florcana, but their reputation can be used elsewhere.

But I didn't expect the result to be like this.

In the jury's seat, there was a middle-aged man wearing a straw hat behind Ivita, who said, "I probably know why those two lawyers wanted to help Prol in this lawsuit."

Evita looked at him curiously. "Can you explain it carefully?"

The man laughed at the sight of Evita. "My lord baron, of course such small things are fine. I am an ordinary captain from the Republic of Belisarius. You can call me Captain Perrol."

"If these two Florcana lawyers win this lawsuit, I'm afraid they won't be planning to return to Florcana."

"Because they have gained a great reputation for winning the lawsuit for the coup mastermind, once they return to Florcana, they will be suspected and restricted."

Said Captain Perrol: "Frocana is a country that excludes eminent men."

"But our Belisarius Republic has always used the tradition of appointing famous foreigners to serve as senior officials of the republic. This is the [foreign appointment system] of the Belisarius Republic. It is to prevent domestic families and forces from colluding and destroying the spirit of the republic. unique system."

"The two of them probably want to use this as a springboard to take important positions in my country."

Evita frowned strangely. "So, all the senior positions in the Belisarius Republic are foreigners?"

This actually works.

"That's right." Captain Perrol said, "This is a subsidiary law under the [Law of the Bannerman of Justice]."

"It is a kind of man-made law."

Margo Lee shook her head. "Then the situation in your republic will definitely be unstable."

"The [Water Capital Law] is even better, and the [Lottery Law] is a pan-regional law. The Noble Commercial Republic is far better than yours."

The expression on Captain Perrol's face stiffened, and he lowered his voice, suppressing his anger. "Your republic is indeed excellent, but it doesn't mean that the people in your republic are also excellent."

"I didn't talk to you again."

"Besides, the National Bank of the Belisarius Republic has unimaginable wealth for you to trade. Our [Turin law] is more just..."

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Ivita coughed and drew their eyes back.

Ivita reminded the two of them, "We are still in Parvega's court."

The two immediately nodded their thanks to Ivita.

If there was a real quarrel, it would be unreasonable. They would probably offend Parvega and be banned from entering the city.

The verdict of the court still sentenced Lord Prower to be guilty, and he was sentenced to death immediately, faster than others.

The lawyer invited by the lord saw that there was nothing he could do, so he could only scold the judge for his lack of legal literacy, and then left the meeting helplessly.

A soldier raised a spear and appeared behind Lord Prower.

The mayor announced loudly. "Give law to this traitor now, and drive a spear through his filthy heart."

Immediately the soldier raised his spear, and then stabbed hard at the Lord's heart.

The audience who came here specially to watch had been waiting for this bloody scene, and all of them stared wide-eyed.

'Ding~'

The spear landed on the lord's body, as if meeting steel, and sparks came out.

The Lord was unhurt.

Instead, the spearhead broke.

The soldiers were even more confused, not knowing what kind of monster the Lord was.

Everyone present was talking.

The old witch was beside Ivita, and said, "Impossible, three days ago, he was just a mortal, and I could crush him to death with one hand."

"What's on him?"

With a dark face, the mayor asked the soldiers to exchange for a big sword, and wanted to chop off his head with the sword.

This time the soldier swung his great sword as usual, and the light of the sword fell, and the Lord's head fell to the ground.

Just as the soldier wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, he was surprised to find that no blood spewed from the Lord's neck.

The Lord suddenly laughed, took his head with both hands, and put it back on his neck again. He said triumphantly, "Look, can you sentence me to death?"

"Ha ha ha ha……"
