Chapter 253: Can’t last seven days

"In holy history, the first imperial inheritance ceremony was forced to be suspended midway"

"Augustine the Great Accepted by the Inquisition Summoned for Investigation"

"London Airship Crash Resurrection"

"Is it the delay of justice or a political conspiracy"

"False, Slander and Persecution"

No one could have imagined that such a scene would happen on the inheritance ceremony. Several officials of the trial court entered the ancient Roman city of law, marched all the way to the hall of the elders council, and then held a two-long discussion with the elders of the council. After many hours of 'negotiations', Emperor Augustine finally expressed his willingness to accept the investigation of the court.

Indeed, the Council of Elders itself has no rights, and he cannot interfere with any summoning process of the Tribunal.

Adhering to the [Principle of Openness of the Inheritance Ceremony] that has been upheld for centuries, no one can use force to stop these judicial officials from entering the parliament hall.

In the imperial law, it certainly did not say that the imperial emperor violated the law, and there would be any possibility of immunity.

Therefore, Emperor Augustine was taken away like this.
Theoretically speaking, it does make sense, but if you think about it from any other direction, this matter is undoubtedly absurd and unreasonable.
So, when Augustine the Great walked out of the Council of Elders yesterday, the crowd began to boil.

And when they saw his seriously ill body that has worked hard for the empire for 60 years, the infusion bottle behind the wheelchair, his eyes that were extremely uncomfortable after seeing the sun, and the tired cough, the excitement of the crowd was natural. They were provoked to an extremely terrifying level, and people began to shout the name of the great emperor, angrily shouting words such as 'persecution', 'shady', etc., and threw the guns in their hands at the few judicial officials. Something crashed into the human wall set up by the security personnel.

At this time, the old man didn't speak, but turned his head slightly while being escorted, looked at the boiling crowd, then raised his hand wearily, pressed it down, and made a "don't make noise" gesture.

Because of this gesture, the roars of the people gradually subsided, but the anger in their hearts burned even more vigorously.

Still the same sentence, as a great emperor who has been in charge of the empire for 60 years, his name has become a part of the empire that continues to this day. When locomotive.

The people went crazy.

The reporters went crazy.

Those politicians, financial groups, front-line military, large enterprises, nobles, and some high-level interests of the Holy See who are waiting to take over the inheritance ceremony are all crazy.

Whether it's crazy with excitement or crazy with panic.

In short, the entire empire began to go crazy!
The night before yesterday, Mansfield, the current chief justice of the trial court, had an open-ended debate with his student, Hopkins, in the vestibule of a church.

Mansfield emphasized that the law is the representative of justice, but justice and fairness are only tools to maintain social stability. If social stability is destroyed in order to maintain the law, then the law and crime will lead to the same goal.

Hopkins did not agree with this argument, and he failed to convince his teacher, because when he left, he asked his teacher if he would appear in court to try Augustine the Great?

The other party did not give an affirmative answer.

But when he withstood countless pressures and forcibly ordered a group of officials from the Third Division under his command to go to the ancient Roman city to carry out the investigation process, his teacher did not stop him.

Hopkins didn't know why his most respected teacher suddenly chose a silent and inaction attitude on this matter, but the outcome was exactly as the other party said.

This investigation has indeed had too much impact.
After countless newspapers, letters, phone calls, and dictation, the situation at the site of the inheritance ceremony was quickly known to every citizen of the empire. Small parade.

In fact, it can’t be called a parade, because under the belief of most people, few people can organize large-scale demonstrations against the institutions of the Holy See.

However, those pious people wore the most solemn clothes, knelt at the door of the judicial hall, and posed the most respectful worship posture for the Holy Light. They knelt for five or six hours, which really gave the staff of the trial court a great deal. pressure.

During this long period of kneeling, some people fainted, some suffered from serious illness due to fatigue, and some had young children crying like babies because they were not breastfed in time.It is as if these people feel that the people in the Tribunal should have been bewitched by some evil force to do such a hateful and ridiculous behavior, and they represent the identity of the Holy Light believers in this way. To purify the evil that corrupted the Holy See.

Of course, compared to the gentle performance of these devout believers, those hard-line socialists, especially the veterans who retired from the government army, set off waves of real violent demonstrations!

These people will not face the Judgment Chamber, an institution with a distinct Holy See nature. They don't believe those rhetoric modified by faith, and simply vent their anger on the relevant departments of the government. What they pursue is a quick, direct They need an explanation, an answer.

Therefore, the entrance to the government's Supreme Court was overcrowded, with banners of various colors hanging on almost every treetop. The mayor's office area was surrounded by water, causing government staff to have to pull down the fence gate to prevent the angry crowd from rushing in. Come in.

Chaos breeds more chaos
During the parade, the doors of some shops were smashed open, and the contents inside were looted, but the police to maintain law and order had no manpower at all.

Bodies appeared on the street, dead with their throats cut. The murderer was among the crowd, but no one noticed this scene.

A few small demons suddenly appeared at the port, killing eleven cargo workers. Normally, the city's public security management agency would send a few contractors to take charge of this matter, but no one has time now.

There are more and more demonstrators, and the shouts are getting louder. Some people walked forward with the flow of people, and felt that they stepped on something under their feet. When they looked down, they found that it was a corpse whose head had been crushed. .

On the third day, more than one-third of the administrative states of the empire could not withstand the pressure, and even a few city leaders who did not have the belief of the Holy Light directly faced the public and publicly stated that they were not responsible for the justice of this trial court. In order to appease the anger of the people in the city, he began to make angry accusations. Of course, his words included words such as 'framed', 'ugly', 'slander', and 'someone is trying to disrupt the empire'. Newspaper editors who caused social chaos claimed that they were the sinners, and they should be locked up in that terrifying bloody prison.

On the fourth day, the Holy Magazine announced that all the staff members would be on holiday. The newspaper office that insisted on publishing during the second invasion of the devil that year was the first time in history that the publication was suspended. Some schools proposed to suspend the school because they were afraid of the safety of the students. It is suggested that the goods at the dock were stranded because no workers came to work yesterday, and the machinery in the mine roared and idled for a day. The momentum of the general strike became more and more obvious. In just a few days, the output value of the empire was lost to an unpredictable level. Condition.

And amidst the cries of hundreds of millions of people in the empire, that so-called evidence can only play a small role in comforting them.

Before the start of the Holy Calendar, there was a legend that a product of faith called [God] took seven days to create the world.

People don't know whether this product of belief really has such terrifying power, but at this moment, people feel that an old man really seems to have the ability to destroy an empire in seven days
