Chapter 902: The Arbitration Court’s decision? No, you are under arrest
In the imperial capital of the Orei Empire, a student from the Academy of Art sued Archduke Langton, who was in the spotlight recently. The content was even more shocking. He even accused the other party of stealing his title. He is the true heir of the Langton family.
The other party was just a despicable wandering knight.
It stands to reason that the aristocracy and the royal family have achieved this level, and then they will control public opinion and use various words to get the public to side with Flanders.
In fact, they did, but they failed.
The Steamers intervened in this act.
They just wanted to test Lu Xingshi, but they didn't really intend to force him to rebel. What's more, they had just publicized it to Lu Xingshi not long ago. If this happened repeatedly, it would have an impact on the empire.
Therefore, although this matter has been widely spread, most people have a mentality of just watching the excitement.
There was no crazy move, and no one supported Flanders.
After all, everyone is not stupid. If he steals a baron in name only, they can still believe it.
You can steal a dukedom, but the other party also owns a principality. How can the other party steal it? There is no logic in this at all.
So Flanders became a huge joke, and even the Imperial Court of Arbitration was affected.
But soon, the trial of this joke-like case began.
Lu Xingshi did not come, but only the steward came, but now the steward is no longer a steward, but a cabinet minister of the Principality of Langton.
As for the other three territorial officers, they also became the Minister of Military Aircraft, the Minister of Finance and the Minister of Justice.
With these four as the main body, the power system of the Principality of Langton was derived.
After all, they were Conglong ministers who had followed Lu Xingshi since his youth, so Lu Xingshi would not treat them badly.
So now in the Principality of Langton, these four people have naturally become powerful people.
"I have enough evidence to prove..." Flanders jumped up and down and took out all kinds of evidence, from useless comments from teachers and classmates to some Wang Ling, Kingdom Book and other things that were problematic at first sight. .
The butler showed no expression and just watched Flanders' performance quietly.
It was not until the end that he spoke: "Chief Arbitrator, when the Grand Duke comes, he just wants me to say one thing."
"He can go south to fight the battlefields of the various countries in the Dragon Mountain Range, or he can fight all the way south to the Dragon Mountain Range."
After saying this, the butler stood up and left directly.
This made all the officials in the Arbitration Court look at each other. 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 scolded.
However, the butler couldn't help but hesitate, and then smiled contemptuously: "So the Grand Duke is the Grand Duke, and you are just a clown."
After being told this, Flender's face turned red and warm.
"You...you..." Flanders was very angry. He was once just a humble housekeeper under him, but now he dared to contradict himself. This was simply a villain's triumph.
"Master Arbitrator, he disrespects the court, arrest him quickly!" Flanders roared.
However, the high-ranking arbiter just glanced at Flanders but didn't say anything.
He received the benefits of the noble faction and the royal family to let Flanders win, but this does not mean that he has to obey Flanders' command.
Even if Flanders wins, it is nothing more than an insignificant incident for the Archduke Langton.
But if he really dares to detain a cabinet minister from the Principality of Langton, if he does it in the morning, he will be beheaded in the afternoon.
Want to get away? I'm afraid I'm overthinking it.
If he cannot move the important ministers, he is sure to escape on his own. If he really wants to move, the officials of the Steam Sect can only vent their anger on themselves.
So he simply ignored Flanders and pronounced his sentence.
"In view of the evidence provided by Flanders Langton..." the chief arbitrator announced the result directly, preparing to rule that Flanders won.
"Wait a moment."
Before the arbitrator could finish speaking, a voice interrupted him.
I saw several people wearing imperial military uniforms walking in, holding a document in their hands.
"Arbitrator Kuris, you are under arrest."
"The charge is bribery." The leader said with a smile.
The chief arbiter's expression changed. This shouldn't happen. He had taken care of everything. How could such a change happen suddenly?
As long as he completes the sentence and then leaves the Orei Empire directly.
Just this morning, he had sent his whole family on the steam train leaving the Orei Empire, and he would also board the steam train an hour later.
The family just took a lot of wealth and went to other empires to live freely.
I didn't expect that such a big mistake would occur at this time.
"I need to complete the final judgment. This is the divine power given to me by the laws of the empire." The chief arbiter wanted to delay time until the aristocracy and the royal family came to rescue him.
In fact, it doesn't matter if you can't save yourself. Your wife and children have already left with their wealth. It's worth sacrificing yourself to let your family live a better life.
"I'm afraid not. Your bribery involves not only the judicial department, but also the military department, a great nobleman and many other factors. There is no way for you to complete the sentence." A cold light flashed in the eyes of the leader.
They came here on time just to prevent the other party from completing the judgment. If Flanders really wins, where will the empire's face be?
So the chief arbitrator is doomed next. If he gets the benefits, he will be the one 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 your wife, children and parents are also implicated."
"So we hope, chief arbitrator, that you can cooperate with our investigation."
When the other party said these two sentences, the chief arbitrator's eyes shrank. He thought his family had left smoothly, but he didn't expect that he was cut off.
"If the chief arbitrator cannot give a reasonable explanation, then the crime of accepting bribes will become treason."
"Please, Chief Arbiter."
When the words came to this point, the chief arbitrator suddenly became depressed.
How could he not know that he had become a victim of the struggle between the aristocracy, the royal family and the steam faction.
Although he had had this idea before, he was just taking a chance, not to mention that the aristocrats and the royal family really gave him a lot, so he had no way to refuse this temptation.
Finally, I stepped into this desperate situation.
Now it seems that the people from the Steam Faction have already targeted him, so his little moves cannot be hidden from them at all.
"Yes, sir, I will confess." The chief arbiter stood up slowly and couldn't help but reveal a wry smile.
"Wait a minute, Chief Arbitrator, what should I do with my case?" Flanders was also anxious. If you leave, who will give him the verdict?
Without the verdict of his victory, how could he go to Lu Xingshi to get his title back?
"Of course it will be re-examined by another arbitrator." The arbitrator said impatiently. This guy has no eyesight at all. He didn't even see that he was arrested. Why are you still thinking about your ruined title?
I really thought that if I gave you a verdict, you would be able to get it.
He was able to win the verdict because he received the benefits. If you change the arbitrator, let alone the judgment, he would not accept the case.
After speaking, the chief arbitrator was escorted away directly.
Flanders wanted to stop him, but he saw that the people who did it were all steam soldiers, and there was no way he could stop them with such a small body.
And he understood one thing, if he dared to stop him, he might be implicated by the chief arbitrator.
Anyway, judging from today's court hearing, it can be said that his victory is not unexpected, and he is not afraid of another try.
What's more, no one from the other party will appear in court this time, so no matter what he says after that, he is justified.
Maybe he can not only get his title back, but also sentence the wandering knight to death.
If you are kinder, maybe you can make the other person's death easier?
After thinking for a while, he left with the evidence he had fabricated.
What Flender wants to do most now is to share the joy of his victory with Princess Lena.
From advising herself to making perjury for herself, it was all the work of Princess Lena. Otherwise, she would not have been able to successfully complete the matter before the trial if she had only relied on herself.
…
"I don't know if the trial has been completed." Lu Xingshi studied the wind and snow in the permanently frozen mountains, extracting data bit by bit.
He looked at the time, and his estimate was about the same.
"If the aristocracy and the royal family dare to do this, they are sure to cause trouble for me."
"But the Steam Faction will definitely not let them succeed. After all, this would be a slap in the face of the empire."
"Now it seems that although there is a struggle for power within the Steam Faction, it is always the people who come from the bottom who value the interests of the empire more."
"So even if I'm sentenced to lose, I won't have the chance to say it out loud."
"The impact of this is too great and is not in the interest of the empire."
"As for how it was resolved in the end...it was probably a cold treatment." Lu Xingshi thought for a while and quickly came to a conclusion.
As for 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 you are unlucky, you will be silenced by the aristocrats and the royal family before you are treated as a tool.
Because it is useful, I am still alive today.
Flanders is also unlucky. Because of Lu Xingshi, his mind was twisted and turned into a licking dog, and now it is even more serious about his life.
All I can say is that your life is also your life, but it’s a pity that others don’t treat you like a monkey.
"I hope it won't be so painful when Flanders leaves. It's best to lick everything until the end. Let the two of them get into the coffin and lie down together." Lu Xingshi's idea was very simple. If Flanders died, would Princess Lina also die? Gotta die.
Lu Xingshi was certain that the person who distorted Flender's mind was Princess Lina.
And every move of Flanders is guided by Princess Lena, but this guidance is not direct, but indirect.
Not only can he escape at any time, but he can also get rid of his own suspicion.
It's just that this kind of non-stick pan can only be effective if you don't meet an unreasonable person like Lu Xingshi.
