Chapter 397: The Heaviest Punishment
Time passed by minute by minute, but the family's answer was exactly the same as Su Dao imagined. The family seemed to have learned about Su San's behavior after coming to Teran Island, and also roughly judged why he offended Su Dao because of it.
So at the beginning, his attitude was quite sincere, just hoping that Su Dao would let Su San go. Of course, in exchange, the Su family was willing to continue to provide Su Dao with some channels and no longer take commissions from the medicines. All the profits obtained belong to Su Dao personally.
However, since Su Dao has made up his mind and has released the news of Su San's trial, how could it be so easy to recover?
When facing the Su family, Su Dao also tactfully expressed his difficulties, and at the same time expressed that he did not want to lose the Su family's channels. It was just Su San's approach that forced Su Dao to a dead end and had to adopt this extreme method to deal with it.
At this time, Su Dao and the Su family were more like two groups that traded rather than real family. With Su Dao's strength, Su San's ambition gradually expanded, completely annoying Su Dao. The Su family did not want to lose Su San, so it created the current situation.
Su Dao confronted the Su family. Seeing that it was too soft, the Su family gradually began to feel a little powerless. The original plan was to let Su San go to the Chinese Empire to use Su Dao's power to build the Su family's industry. Then the Su family slowly withdrew from Europe and focused on the future business within the Chinese Empire and Asia.
Although the economy is not prosperous, it has a large population. If it is done well, it may not be worse than that in Europe. The most important thing is that the people of the Su family have experienced hundreds of years of ups and downs and now they want to go home. They don’t want to continue wandering outside.
Although they are rich, powerful and powerful, after all, they are still outsiders and not local forces. When they fight against some large European groups, the Su family often chooses to give in.
I thought that Su Dao would become the strong backing of the Su family if he established a country, but I never thought that he was messed up by Su San at the beginning and even caused such a serious problem.
The conversation between the two sides was finally left alone, without the final result, and no one knew what they would do next? Su Qiming was recalled to Europe by the Su family, but did not mention Su Lin, which must have been paving the way out for the future retreat.
In this case, Su Dao was not unaware of his true strength. Although the Su family was not that kind of political group, he could control the fate of Germany. Although the beard gradually broke away from the control of the Su family, this image of a giant in the past still existed.
If the Su family tried their best to save Su San, Su Dao would be in some trouble. This attitude of insolvency also made Su Dao secretly grateful.
In my impression, Su Dao did not have any memory of the Su family. But at this moment, Su Dao deeply felt the efforts made by his father who had never met.
Mr. Su could not allow Su Dao to deal with Su San, but in this situation, it must be Su Dao's father lobbying in the family and concealed the news of the trial of the Su San case. I hope that after everything is settled, I will think of a solution. Losing a son in exchange for the support of an empire. I believe Mr. Su will make the correct judgment.
A few days after the founding ceremony, media and diplomatic officials from various countries were still staying on the island of Terran and did not leave. They originally wanted to pay attention to Su Dao's next actions throughout the process, but unexpectedly, yesterday afternoon, they received a notice from Wu Zhongguo, inviting them to observe the first trial of the Supreme Court of the Chinese Empire.
Everyone was surprised by this invitation. I thought there would be some major military or political actions, but I didn't expect that I would wait for the news of the case. For a country where the founding of the country was only three days ago, what cases could be tried so quickly?
At 8 o'clock in the morning, in an open space in the administrative district, there was a temporary shed. At the door stood a plaque with the words "The Supreme Court of the Empire of China", but the other sign reads the words "The First Inquisition Court".
The reporters didn't care too much about this kind of occasion, because the engineers were busy construction, so it was normal for the court to not have a place to hold a trial at this time. But everyone was curious about what case was being tried today that made them so anxious?
The news of Su Dao's assassination the night before yesterday had been blocked, and no one knew what was going on. It was just that someone heard two gunshots, and then the island of Teran was on alert, prohibiting everyone from going out, and it was not lifted until the second half of the night.
However, for the Supreme Court of the Chinese Empire, it is somewhat unpredictable. The so-called Supreme Court is now just a vacant shell. There are only two judges inside, and they are government legal counsel who were kidnapped in China before. Others are temporarily recruited.
After the time came, the presiding judge and staff appeared in turn. After fully entering the workplace, Wu Zhongguo, as the prime minister of the empire, also appeared at the trial site and held something that looked like an imperial edict.
Su Lin's identity has been confirmed, that is, the eldest princess of the Chinese Empire. In the next case, Su Lin is involved, so before the case is tried, Su Lin's identity must be announced. Originally, Wu Zhongguo planned to hold a press conference yesterday to announce this matter, but was stopped by Su Dao. He only posted a news about the eldest princess and summoned the reporters. He was just enthroned yesterday and was dragged to court today, which felt a bit fooling.
That's why Su Dao decided to announce Su Lin's identity before the trial so that these foreigners can know that the emperor violated the law and committed the same crime as the common people.
"Before the trial, I will announce something. This matter was originally planned to be announced in a few days, but because the case involves the parties, we have to announce it in advance."
Before Wu Zhongguokai read it out, hello to the reporters and diplomats below, which would surprise them if they were not allowed to be surprised. Of course, what is more important is to shock them. Only in this way can the due effect be achieved.
"According to the rules of China's past dynasties, the emperor of our country signed two enthrones three days ago. The first enthronement was to enthrone the emperor's wife Wu Yali as the empress of the Chinese Empire. I think everyone should not have any doubts about this enthronement. Of course, this enthronement has nothing to do with this case.
The second one is to enthrone Su Lin, the sister of the emperor of our country, as the eldest princess of the Chinese Empire, that is, the party involved in today's case. Okay. What I need to announce has been announced."
Wu Zhongguo briefly said two orders of enthronement, but did not explain in detail. One was the emperor's wife, and it was normal to be enthroned as queen, and it was reasonable wherever it was. The other was the emperor's sister, and no one could say anything when she was enthroned as princess. Anyway, it was common sense, so Wu Zhongguo was lazy to introduce it.
He nodded to the judge and signaled that the trial could be held. He ignored the shock of the diplomats and reporters below. Yes, this news was really shocking for them. The case involved the princess, which was considered an internal matter of the royal family. But how could this case be involved? They really couldn't understand.
However, what happened next was greatly beyond their expectations. After the judge announced the trial, four prisoners were crushed by eight fully armed soldiers. Two of the elderly had heavy chains locked on their hands and feet, but the young man and woman did not take any measures. They just let the people bring them up.
The matter followed was much simpler. The judge first tried Uncle Fu's case. He assassinated the emperor, and more than a dozen soldiers appeared in court to testify separately, and Su Dao's own certificate, so he could not escape the charge.
Then there was Su San. When his identity was announced, he was surprised and sensational. The emperor's third uncle was actually the protagonist of the case. So, the photographers who had already prepared were aimed at the parties involved and pressed the shutter.
The trial of Su Lin and Su Qiming was much simpler. After a simple inquiry, the following was gone. The two of them came mainly as family members of the prisoner and did not have any crimes.
After a day of trial, at around 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the judge held a half-hour recess, and then convicted the four parties in half an hour. Of course, Su San's charge of trying to usurp the throne was also placed, and the witness was a crew member, not Su Lin.
"The Supreme Court of the Chinese Empire, Criminal Judgment,..., the defendant Zhou Fu was assassinated by the emperor of our country. Although he caused actual harm, the case had a bad impact and intended to assist another defendant Su San in this case to usurp the throne. After trial, our court sentenced Zhou Fu to attempted assassination and usurpation of the throne. According to Article 1, Paragraph 1, Paragraph 1, Paragraph 1, and Paragraph 1, and the death penalty will be imposed according to law and executed immediately.
The defendant Su San was the mastermind of the case, and gave Zhou Fu advice and provided substantial support, which caused serious impact at home and abroad, and the circumstances were abusive. According to Article 1, Paragraph 1, Paragraph 1, Paragraph 1, Paragraph 1, Paragraph 1, and Paragraph 1, and the death penalty will be imposed according to law and executed immediately.
The defendant Su Qiming is the nephew of the main culprit in this case. According to the provisions of the Joint Law of the Chinese Empire, a huge economic fine is required. However, considering that Su Qiming is not a citizen of his country, this court has decided to deport Su Qiming and not be allowed to enter the country within 20 years. He will leave my country within 24 hours. Otherwise, it will be dealt with for illegal entry.
The defendant Su Lin is the niece of the main culprit in this case. According to the provisions of the Joint and Several Law of the Chinese Empire, economic punishment is required. The defendant actually stated himself and confirmed that Su Lin now has the ownership of the Chinese pharmaceutical company. According to Article 3, Paragraph 9 of the Joint and Several Law, the taxes of this company will be increased to ten times the normal taxes of ordinary enterprises in the future.
Considering that the company is currently in the establishment stage, this court decided not to issue a personal fine to the defendant, but the defendant, as the eldest princess, is a violation of the law and the circumstances are particularly serious. Therefore, this court decided to collect the taxes of the Chinese Pharmaceutical Company and all enterprises under Su Lin's future name at 90% of the profits made by the company except for normal expenses, with a period of fifty years."
'coax'
As soon as the judge finished speaking, a noise broke out from the scene, and Zhou Fu's verdict was not doubtful. But Su San was different. He was Su Dao's biological uncle, and all the charges had not yet been taken into action, so he was sentenced to death.
Su Qiming's crime is the least guilty, because he is not a citizen of his country, and because he was involved in this case because of the joint law, it is reasonable to deport him.
