I'm the one running the game

In the capital of the Orei Empire, a student from the Academy of Arts sued the recently popular Grand Duke Landon. The content was even more shocking. He actually accused the other party of stealing his title. He was the real heir of the Landon family.

And the other party was just a despicable wandering knight.

It stands to reason that the nobles and the royal family have done this, so the next step is to manipulate public opinion and use various words to make the public stand in Flanders' camp.

In fact, they did so, but they didn't succeed.

The Steam Faction interfered with this behavior.

They just wanted to test Lu Xingshi, not to force him to rebel, not to mention that they had just promoted Lu Xingshi not long ago. If this is repeated, it will have an impact on the empire.

So although this matter has been widely spread, most people are just watching the excitement.

There have been no crazy actions, and no one supports Flanders.

After all, everyone is not stupid. If a baron with no real title is stolen, they can still believe it.

But if you steal a dukedom, how can you steal it? There is no logic at all.

So Flanders became a huge joke, and even the Imperial Arbitration Court was affected.

But soon, this joke-like case began to be tried.

Lv Xingshi did not come, but only the butler came, but now the butler is no longer a butler, but a cabinet minister of the Principality of Lanton.

As for the other three territorial officials, they also became the Minister of Military Affairs, the Minister of Finance, and the Minister of Justice.

With these four people as the main body, the power system of the Principality of Lanton was derived.

After all, they were the loyal ministers who followed Lv Xingshi from humble beginnings, and Lv Xingshi would not treat them badly.

So now in the Principality of Lanton, these four people naturally became people with great power.

"I have sufficient evidence to prove..." Flanders jumped up and down and took out various evidences, from useless comments from teachers and classmates, to some things that were problematic at first glance, such as Wang Ling and Wang Guoshu.

The butler had no expression, just quietly watching Flanders' performance.

It was not until the end that he spoke: "Arbitrator, when the Grand Duke came, he just asked me to say a few words."

"He can go south to fight in the battlefields of the various countries in the Dragon Mountains, or he can fight all the way south to reach the Dragon Mountains."

After saying this, the butler got up and left.

This made the officials of the Arbitration Court look at each other in surprise. How could they not hear the threat.

"Ridiculous! He is just the Grand Duke of the Empire. How dare he say such disrespectful words to the Empire." Flanders shouted.

However, the butler's steps could not help but stagnate, and then he smiled contemptuously: "So the Grand Duke is the Grand Duke, and you are just a clown."

Flanders' face turned red when he heard this.

"You...you..." Flanders was very angry. The other party was just a humble butler under his command, but now he dared to refute him. This is simply a villain's success.

"Arbitrator, he disrespects the court, arrest him!" Flanders roared.

However, the chief arbitrator in a high position just glanced at Flanders and said nothing.

He received benefits from the nobles and the royal family to let Flanders win, but this does not mean that he has to listen to Flanders' command.

Even if Flanders is judged to win, it is just a trivial matter for the Grand Duke of Lanton.

But if he really dares to detain the cabinet ministers of the Duchy of Lanton, the work is done in the morning, and he will be beheaded in the afternoon.

Want to get away? I'm afraid you think too much.

If he doesn't touch other people's important ministers, he is sure to get away. If he really touches them, the officials of the Steam Party can only use themselves to vent their anger.

So he ignored Flanders and made a verdict.

"In view of the evidence provided by Flanders Lanton..." The chief arbitrator announced the result directly, ready to rule that Flanders won.

"Wait a minute."

Before the chief arbitrator finished speaking, a voice interrupted him.

Then several people in imperial military uniforms walked in with a document in their hands.

"Arbitrator Kuris, you are under arrest."

"The charge is bribery." The leader said with a smile.

The Arbitrator's face changed. This shouldn't be the case. He had arranged everything. How could such a change suddenly happen?

As long as he completed the judgment and left the Aore Empire directly, it would be fine.

Just this morning, he had sent his whole family on the steam train leaving the Aore Empire, and he would also board the steam train in an hour.

The family took a lot of wealth and went to other empires to live freely.

I didn't expect that such a big mistake would happen at this time.

"I need to complete the final judgment. This is the sacred power given to me by the imperial law." The Arbitrator wanted to delay time until the nobles and the royal family came to rescue him.

In fact, it doesn't matter if he can't save himself. His wife and children have already left with the wealth. It's worth sacrificing himself to let his family live a better life.

"I'm afraid it won't work. Your bribery not only involves the judicial department, but also the military department, a great nobleman and many other factors. There is no way for you to complete the judgment." A cold light flashed in the eyes of the leader.

They came so punctually just to stop the other party from completing the judgment. If Flandre really wins, where will the face of the empire be?

So the chief arbitrator is doomed.

If he gets the benefits, he will have to take the blame if something goes wrong.

"You!" The chief arbitrator did not expect that the other party would be so arrogant.

"Not only you, but also your wife, children and parents are implicated."

"So we hope that you can cooperate with our investigation, chief arbitrator."

When the other party said these two sentences, the pupils of the chief arbitrator shrank. He thought his family had left smoothly, but he didn't expect to be intercepted.

"If the chief arbitrator cannot give a reasonable explanation, the charge of bribery will become treason."

"Please, chief arbitrator."

Having said this, the chief arbitrator suddenly became depressed.

How could he not know that he had become a victim of the struggle between the aristocratic faction, the royal family and the steam faction.

Although he had this idea before, he was just lucky, not to mention that the aristocratic faction and the royal family faction did give more, so he couldn't refuse this temptation.

Finally, he stepped into this desperate place.

Now it seems that the people of the steam faction have been keeping an eye on him, so his little tricks can't be hidden from them at all.

"Yes, sir, I will confess." The chief arbitrator slowly stood up and couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile.

"Wait, chief arbitrator, what should I do with my case?" Flanders was also anxious. If you leave, who will judge for him?

Without his victory verdict, how can he go to Lu Xingshi to get back his title.

"Of course, it will be re-examined by other chief arbitrators." The chief arbitrator said impatiently. This guy has no sense at all. He didn't see that he was arrested, so why is he still thinking about your broken title?

Do you really think that you can get it if you are judged?

He was able to win the judgment because he received benefits. If he changed another chief arbitrator, let alone judging, he would not accept your case.

After that, the chief arbitrator was taken away directly.

Flanders wanted to stop it, but he saw that the people who took action were all steam soldiers, and he was not able to stop it with his small body.

And he knew one thing, if he dared to stop, he might be implicated by the chief arbitrator.

Anyway, judging from the situation of today's trial, his victory can be said to be not unexpected, and he is not afraid of it again.

What's more, no one from the other side will appear in court this time, so no matter what he says in the future, he is right.

Maybe he can not only get back his title, but also sentence the wandering knight to death by hanging.

If he is more merciful, maybe he can make the other party die more easily?

After thinking about it, he left with the evidence he forged.

What Flanders wanted to do most now was to share the joy of his victory with Princess Lina.

From giving him advice to helping him make false evidence, it was all the credit of Princess Lina. Otherwise, if he relied on himself, he would definitely not be able to complete it smoothly before the trial.

…

"I don't know if the trial is completed." Lu Xingshi studied the wind and snow in the Everfrost Mountains and extracted data bit by bit.

He looked at the time and estimated it to be about the same.

"If the nobles and the royal family dare to do this, they will surely cause trouble for me."

"But the Steam Party will definitely not let them succeed, after all, this is a slap in the face of the Empire."

"Now it seems that although there are also power struggles within the Steam Party, they are people who have risen from the bottom and value the interests of the Empire more."

"So even if I lose, I won't have the chance to speak out."

"This will have too much impact and is not in the interests of the Empire."

"As for how it was finally resolved... probably cold treatment." Lu Xingshi thought about it and quickly came to a conclusion.

And Flanders, his value has almost been used up. If he is lucky, he will be used as a tool by the Steam Party and then executed.

If he is unlucky, he will be killed by the nobles and the royal family before he is used as a tool.

Because he is useful, he has lived to this day.

Flanders is also unlucky. Because of Lu Xingshi, his mind was distorted and he became a licking dog, and now his life is even more wanted.

I can only say that the life of a man is also a life, but it's a pity that people don't treat you as a monkey.

"I hope Flanders won't be in such pain when he dies. It would be best if he could lick everything in the end, and the two of them could lie in the coffin together." Lu Xingshi's idea was very simple. If Flanders died, Princess Lina would have to die with him.

Lu Xingshi was sure that the person who twisted Flanders' mind was this Princess Lina.

And every move of Flanders was guided by this Princess Lina, but this guidance was not direct, but indirect.

Not only could he get away at any time, but he could also get rid of his own suspicion.

But this kind of non-stick pan can only work if he doesn't meet an unreasonable person like Lu Xingshi.
