Chapter 410 Judgment Day (III)
After chatting with each other lively for a few words, Futaba and Mo Tan stopped talking to Marshall. The former was half-lying on the table playing with his fingers out of boredom. The latter looked at her playing with her fingers with great interest, without any sense of nervousness at all, as if they were not the first to attack and deliver the fatal blow.
Ignoring the heated greetings from both sides, Clairvaux, whose expression was expressionless, sat back on the main seat and asked the crowd softly: "Everyone should have made a decision, right?"
Except for Mo Tan, who seemed to be just watching the excitement, and Buffy Marshall, who was not qualified to vote, everyone else nodded silently.
"Well, before the trial begins..."
Clairvaux turned his head to look at the Archduke Marshall calmly, and said as if he was just having a normal conversation: "Buffy, you have one last chance to defend yourself, and no one will interrupt you in the process."< br>
When it came to the second half of the sentence, Futaba naturally received a warning look from the old emperor.
The girl nodded her head vigorously for five seconds like a chicken pecking at rice, and stuck out her tongue in embarrassment, like a good student who was late for class for the first time. She looked extraordinarily well-behaved and sensible.
If you haven’t seen this girl’s cruel, hurtful and poisonous little mouth unleash its power countless times, scolding the well-educated Buffy Marshall so many times that she wanted to hit someone, most people would really You may think that Clairvaux is making a fuss out of a molehill. After all, such a cute and well-behaved girl is very polite at first sight, so why would she interrupt others when they are talking.
“That’s really a rare opportunity.”
The Grand Duke of Marshall smiled and seemed quite pleased that Futaba would not interrupt and curse when he was speaking. Then he stood up slowly and said a gesture to everyone. Although Mo Tan couldn't understand it, he still thought it was very stylish. His expression was as calm as when Futaba first saw him: "In that case, I will just say a few words."
"Okay!"
Mo Tan He shouted loudly and clapped his hands vigorously.
The corners of Clairvaux's eyes twitched, but there was no suitable reason to criticize him. After all, there was an obvious pause after the Archduke of Marshall finished what he said just now, as if he had left a space for people with lofty ideals to speak. The same, so Mo Tan's somewhat harsh cheers were not considered an 'interruption' in theory.
Well, in theory...
Buffy Marshall nodded to Mo Tan with a smile, then lowered his expression and said with his hands: "I must admit that I made a mistake, a very bad mistake, and even now I don't intend to express any objection to the previous conviction. , let alone defend his crime."
He paused again. This time, Mo Tan did not applaud, but just leaned on the chair and listened with interest, while Futaba's eyes were blank. Staring at the Grand Duke of Marshall, as if to say, 'So what the hell do you want to do? '
"So, I am willing to abide by the outcome of today's trial."
The Grand Duke of Marshall did not think about anything, but simply stated an attitude in a concise and concise manner: "No matter what it is, That’s the result.”
After that, he sat down neatly without even a word of explanation for himself.
Of course, in this case, defending is a worthless behavior. At best, it is just to whitewash one's crime. It is of no use except symbolically improving one's moral situation.
Now that exchange of interests has become a tradition, the word morality has no weight in every [Judgment Day] in the past, and today... is no exception.
Even Mo Tan and Futaba only used the so-called human nature and morality as tools, and never expected to use them to defeat the Marshall family. After all, they did not care about that thing.
"Well, since Buffy is not going to defend herself..."
Clever looked around the crowd and asked calmly: "Is there anything else you want to say? ? If not, we can start.”
Then I saw a hand raised high, shaking in the air...
"Mr. Dabbs?"
Clever glanced at him in surprise. Mo Tan, a theoretical 'outsider' who doesn't even have the right to vote, He asked slightly in surprise: "What do you want to say?"
Mo Tan smiled and replied respectfully: "I just want to ask the Grand Duke Marshall a question, Your Majesty."
>The old emperor nodded slightly and turned to look at Buffy Marshall.
"Okay."
The latter had no objection, but Feng Qingyun nodded calmly and said: "Then let me ask."
Mo Tan raised his eyebrows, raised his index finger and tapped it lightly He touched his forehead: "Then, Your Excellency, if I remember correctly, you should have said, 'I must admit that I made a mistake, a very bad mistake.' So, can I understand...those orders?" People regret All the troubles are caused by you alone and have nothing to do with other people, such as your eldest son, your second son, or His Excellency Duke Scorpius Hussein."
"What did you say! "
Before Buffy Marshall could speak, Grand Duke Hussein at the other end of the long table was already angry. He stared at Mo Tan fiercely and asked word by word: "What do you mean?"
Leaving aside that dead girl who is a disciple of Anatarasha, has a close connection with Fire Claw and is deeply trusted by Grand Duke Rhino, he is not too lazy to offend Anthony Dabus of unknown origin!
"What do you mean?"
Mo Tan looked back at the former in confusion, and after being stunned for half a second, he suddenly said: "Oh~ don't get me wrong, I just want to talk to Marshall. The Grand Duke confirms the specific meaning of what he just said, and then understands how many people have to pay for this protracted tragedy that has lasted for more than ten years. After all, the disaster does not harm relatives and friends, whether it is the Grand Duke’s closest family members or It would be bad if you, the closest collaborator of the Marshall family, suffered some unfair injustice, well, there is no other meaning at all."
Grand Duke Hussein's expression turned grim. Qing looked away from Mo Tan's face uncertainly, obviously not intending to pursue the latter's contextual issues just now.
Although Scorpius Hussein has always stood firmly on the side of the Marshall family, if... just if... something unexpected happens, the question Mo Tan raised just now is worth considering.
As the closest ally of the Marshall family, it is certainly impossible for Scorpius to be completely ignorant of the slave trade. Although neither he nor the Marshall have ever brought this issue to the table, they have always maintained Some kind of tacit understanding, such as a certain checkpoint on the edge of Hussein's territory that suddenly relaxed too much, the Marshall family inexplicably gave more than ten times more gold coins in a certain trade cooperation, etc...
< br>You don’t tell, I don’t ask, everyone gets what they need.
Supposedly, this kind of thing is not a big problem, but if the result of today’s trial is [sanctions] instead of [observation], then let alone the Marshall family that is about to face annihilation, and the former Hussein, who is deeply involved, will inevitably have to break his muscles and bones. At least in the final distribution of benefits, it is very easy to be reduced to the point where he can't even drink soup. But Scorpius couldn't ask Buffy Marshall directly about this, otherwise wouldn't it look like he was very shaken? Before the results were obtained, they were considering dividing the cake among the Marshall family in the future.
For a moment, Grand Duke Hussein was a little grateful to Mo Tan for raising this question for him.
Then...
"Your understanding is not wrong, Mr. Dabbs."
The Grand Duke of Marshall nodded without thinking, and said very frankly: "This matter is indeed related to My family, when Of course, it has nothing to do with Scorpius. The person who cooperated with the Viper Chamber of Commerce is me, and I am the sole person in charge of the two slave-catching groups. To put it simply, except for me, Buffy Marshall, the only ones who were bribed by me Part of [Former Buffy Sword Knight Members of the group], [former members of the Ice Curtain Mage Group] and [former Mercury Guards] are just guilty."
Scorpius frowned slightly, always feeling that his old friend felt like he was broken. I feel a little worried He looked over and said: "Buffy..."
"Haha, of course, many people in the Marshall family have benefited from those sinful gold coins, well, mainly the improvement in the quality of life."< br>
The Archduke of Marshall did not respond, but shrugged slightly and continued to tell everyone: "As for Scorpius, if my less and less fond of bargaining with him can be considered a benefit, then he can also be considered a share. Let’s get a piece of the pie.”
The implication has been made very clear, that is, except for Buffy Marshall, the mastermind, and some of the accomplices hiding in the dark, this matter has nothing to do with other people. It doesn't matter.
"Okay, since you said so..."
Mo Tan smacked his lips, then turned back to Futaba, and asked without lowering his voice: "Do you believe it? No? ”
Not to mention others, anyway, in the heart of Archduke Scorpius Hussein There was a sudden 'thump'. During this period of time, he had fully understood the skills and terrifying features of this little girl. If she were more serious, I'm afraid it would be easy to cause a big mess, and according to Futaba's previous experience, Judging from her behavioral patterns, it is impossible for her not to be serious about this issue!
It was almost made known to everyone that she wanted to kill Marshall and his entire family.
The result...
"He said yes."
Futaba really didn't insist on this issue like before, she just He nodded casually, and then said lightly: "I I don’t want to worry about these minutiae anymore. Regardless of whether the Buffy Marshall family and the Hussein family are involved or not, let’s just assume that Mr. Buffy is telling the truth and move on to the next step.”
< br>Did this girl take the wrong medicine today? !
Not only Scorpius, Dantes, the Grand Duke of the Crystal Wolf and others thought this way, but even Emperor Clairvaux, who was sitting on the main seat, was a little surprised. He did not expect that she would agree with Buffy Marshall's words so easily.
You must know that with Futaba's sharp tongue, even if she cannot directly deny the other party's statement, she can at least confuse the topic and force everyone to put it aside until the [trial], but she actually asked Marshall to put it aside His family was cleansed.
And the Fire Claw representative, who was the biggest victim, had no objections, let alone others. After all, it was quite annoying to force oneself to the point.
It seems that this girl is really too anxious. She doesn't want to wait for a moment and wants the trial to start as soon as possible.
At least on the surface...
Only a few people noticed that after Futaba blurted out the words 'he said yes', Archduke Simon, who always had an expressionless poker face, actually breathed a sigh of relief, and there was a look in his bright red eyes. There was a flash of relief and determination.
All in all, the topic of not bringing harm to the family was discussed in such an understatement.
After that, the old emperor asked several more times, but no one wanted to express their opinions.
So, after a few dozen seconds, this meeting named [Trial] will finally start to focus on the topic!
Clever Bresne stood up again and said in a deep voice: "Everyone here knows the ins and outs of the matter, so I won't go into details again. Since everyone already has their own Idea, then..."
The old emperor paused slightly, then took a deep breath -
"In the name of Violet, I announce the trial for the crimes committed by Buffy Marshall, the Grand Duke of the Empire and the patriarch of the Marshall family. , officially begins.”
Including Futaba and Mo Tan, everyone present looked solemn.
Different from the latter who was obviously pretending to be serious, Futaba's little hands hanging down under the table were clenched tightly, and she followed the guidance mission absentmindedly and joined the Fenrir team to become one of the ordinary ones. As a member of this huge empire, today he is about to sit on the highest stage of this huge empire. Putting an exclamation point on the road to revenge with her own hands, this girl who had experienced the warmth and coldness of the world for the first time created a miracle, a miracle that was too costly for anyone...
Yes, the exclamation mark is not a period, This matter is not over until the other party sheds enough blood to please him!
"[Sanction] or [Observation], except Marshall, the seven surnames Fire Claw, Hussein, Crystal Wolf, Fernan, Simon, Dantes, and Baroka have one vote each, and the Violet Royal Family has two votes. ”
Clever Bresne gently patted the weathered white long table, and the stone on his left thumb A flash of purple light flashed from his finger: "Everyone, tell me your choice."
The next second, two light groups appeared in front of each fixed seat in the Zijiu Hall, both black and Two colors: white. Then, Clairvaux raised his left hand with a ring on it and made a light move in the direction of Buffy Marshall. The pair of light balls in front of the latter flew flutteringly in front of Clairvaux, and stopped steadily under the two light balls that were originally there.
"Black is sanction."
Clever leaned on the large seat behind him a little tiredly, gently stroking the thumb ring: "White is observation, let us Let’s get started.”
Buzz! !
The black light in front of Futaba exploded out of thin air. At the same time, a gully like a sword suddenly appeared in the middle of the table, pointing directly at Buffy Marshall!
The girl's cold voice echoed in everyone's ears...
"Sanctions."
