On the Seven Towers

"This is the aristocracy I'm talking about. A group of arrogant people who believe that they are higher than ordinary people until they die." Kalanda said.

"Hahn just told the truth!" Ackley argued, "No one can escape from the group he belongs to! Each group has its own code of conduct. Hahn did a little too much, but it was definitely not the worst. That person."

Hearing Ackley say such words, Chen Hansheng couldn't help but look at him with admiration. This man has realized what class is. But Chen Hansheng said: "What you said makes sense, but now we have the final say here. So the rules here are our rules, and what is good or bad here is our good or bad. Under our rule, our laws will give Everyone deserves a fate.”

"Kings and lords will not need another order."

"I'm curious as to why you are so different from your brother. I think if he had half the ideas you have, he wouldn't do so many stupid things." Chen Hansheng asked.

"Does it matter?"

"Just curious."

Ackley sighed: "My brother had a serious illness and almost died. So my brother and I received the same education."

When Ackley said this, Chen Hansheng understood that Baron O'Farrell had trained him as his heir.

Calanda told him that the education received by noble heirs and other children was completely different. The former received education on how to be a lord, which required a certain understanding of politics, military, and economics, while the latter learned how to serve the lord and be a knight, official, or priest of a natural temple.

After Hahn's statement, the collegial panel quickly made a verdict. Hahn was sentenced to death for multiple crimes including intentional homicide, and will be executed immediately after the public trial.

Hahn looked at the presiding judge Deng Zibing incomprehensibly: "How can this be! Do you really want to kill a nobleman for a few ordinary people? I have already repented, I can pay, I can serve you, I am a middle-level Warrior! I can fight for you! In the kingdom, in the empire, in the southern city-state, no middle-level warrior will be sentenced to death for killing a few ordinary people!"

The presiding judge ignored his wails and said to himself: "This is the final judgment of the collegial panel. Since there is no higher court yet, you have no right to appeal."

When Hahn was being carried out by the guards, he kept saying: "I have surrendered. Let my brother redeem me! Don't kill me!"

"Haan! Where is your dignity? Don't embarrass the family!" Ackley shouted. But his voice was quickly drowned out by the cheers of the surrounding townspeople.

Ackley looked at Chen Hansheng with pleading eyes: "Really want to kill a noble? You will stand on the opposite side of many people."

Chen Hansheng shook his head gently: "No, we didn't come up with any ideas, nor were we openly hostile to the nobles. Everything was just dealt with after the war. Most people will only think that I am a cruel lord."

"You are not. This is the scariest part." Ackley looked sad, "Maybe he is just the beginning."

Next is the baron's guard captain and four of his cronies. Although these people are not nobles, they have done no less evil than Hahn. There was also a businessman who sold magically contaminated food to the townspeople at low prices and killed several old people and children. There was a knight who used the blood of children to refine magic weapons. Although none of these people confessed, they were all sentenced to death based on conclusive evidence.

The next heavyweight is the mage Susanna. She was accused of using the prisoners held by the baron to conduct magical experiments, causing the prisoners to be seriously injured and then died.

Susanna stood in the dock and stated with a cold face: "This is a moment that brings shame to the magic world. It is actually an ordinary person who judges the magicians. The magic order established by the ancestors of the Seven Holy Towers has been trampled on by you. No matter what you say, I will not accept it. Time will prove that your shameless performance here is a farce."

Her words did not arouse any resonance at the scene. Even her disciple Pera sat in the audience area and did not dare to say a word. Susana was found guilty of intentional injury resulting in death and was sentenced to suspended death.

The next defendant was the baron's eldest daughter, Ruth.

She was recovering from her injuries and was still very weak. She was arranged to sit on a chair. She was accused of teaching the maid a lesson, breaking both of her legs and leaving her disabled. Ruth said nothing during the entire trial. When it was her turn to make a statement, she just shook her head and stared blankly at her broken arm.

She was eventually sentenced to five years in prison.

Ackley was almost the last one to appear. Although he was the second son of a baron, he did not do anything too extreme. Most of his romantic affairs happened consensually. Finally, he was sentenced to two years in prison for participating in a gangland organization. All male soldiers who had participated in the battle but had done nothing wrong were punished with this crime.

After everyone related to the Baron Mansion was sentenced, the soldiers of the escort brought three villagers who participated in the mutual aid group. One of them molested a maid in the baron's palace, and two stole the baroness's jewelry. The three were sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment ranging from two to three years for forced indecency and theft respectively.

The people in the town had no objection to the verdict. Because Chen Hansheng has long said that the mutual aid association will never tolerate criminals hiding in it. Even if you are on the side of justice, you will still be punished if you commit a crime.

By the time everyone's verdict was over, it was already afternoon.

The judgment seat on the elevated platform was dismantled and turned into an execution platform. Eight people, including Hahn, will be executed here. All other criminals will be forced to watch the execution at close range. After discussion, everyone in the working group finally decided to use shooting method. Each of the criminals was held down by two people and led to the stage to kneel down. Behind each person was a soldier holding an air gun, switching to the enhanced one-shot mode, and aimed it at the back of these people's heads.

Hahn, who was shouting loudly just now, had no voice at this time. His body was shaking uncontrollably, and he was muttering something unknown, maybe he was praying to the God of Nature. The person next to him was even more unbearable, and a large area of ​​his body was already wet. Many other criminals didn't want to look at them, like Ruth simply closed their eyes. Only Ackley looked at Hahn with a heavy expression.

On the other hand, the townspeople in the auditorium seemed excited and enthusiastic. Many people were lying on the fence dividing the field, scrambling to squeeze forward. Doris was now in the front row, her fists clenched tightly, watching everything on the stage intently.

Glade stood on the roof of a house next to the small square. There was a little girl beside him who was the baron's youngest daughter Jenny.

Glader glanced at her. The little girl grabbed the corner of her clothes and looked down blankly. He said: "If you want to take a closer look, I can take you there."

Jenny shook her head repeatedly.

"Why didn't you go there when you just had the chance to see him for the last time?" Glader said, "Isn't this kind of family affection very important to a creature like human beings?"

"I, I don't know either. I'm scared." Jenny lowered her head, "I don't want to go there, just taking a look here is enough."

"Your brother and sister are either dead or have become prisoners. What are your plans?"

Jenny glanced at him but said nothing.

"What I told Susanna that day was not a lie. You are indeed very promising in the practice of my lineage of magic. If you are willing to learn from me, I will be your teacher."

"But, I am the daughter of your enemy."

"However, you are not our enemy. The Chinese can tolerate you." This was what Chen Hansheng told him, and now Glade relayed it to Jenny, "Tell me now, are you willing?"

"I...will." Jenny saluted, "Teacher."

At this time, the crisp sound of an air gun came from the square, and everything came to an end.
