Lord Carlo was temporarily assigned to take over the trial court and used the new law to convict Alexis.
According to Chen Feng's prior instructions, the trial process is completely transparent and the progress must be open to civilians at all times.
This is the first major case of aristocratic crime since the founding of the Monty Empire. Alexis is still a distinguished earl and a direct descendant of three generations of a wealthy family, so it caused quite a stir in the Monty Kingdom.
.
Not only the common people and slaves, but also the royal family and other counts were paying close attention to the trial process.
Can the new law gain authority in the hearts of more than 10 million civilians? Success or failure depends on this.
However, the evidence collected was very limited. The bodies of the girls who had been persecuted were so long ago that their bodies were burned and all the evidence was destroyed. Their relatives also denied it and unanimously believed that this matter was related to Alexi.
Earl S has nothing to do with it.
Although there are many doubts, there is no evidence.
After several trials, Alexis was acquitted in court.
"What kind of abdication system? Give up your throne to an outsider and let him deal with a prominent noble? What is going on in the mind of our noble Princess Leia?"
Count Alexis was not surprised by the outcome of the trial, it had been expected for a long time.
If it were still the original Monty Kingdom, nobles with the Order of Earl, no matter how serious their crimes were, would be exempted from the death penalty as long as they did not violate the fundamental interests of the royal family.
The news soon reached Chen Feng's ears. He summoned Mr. Carl Ge to ask the reason?
"The country is governed by the law, and the law does not favor personal interests. I have always followed your instructions. There is indeed not enough evidence to prove that Alexis is guilty, so I have to acquit him."
"He stunned Shuangyi in front of me, and even touched her? This is the evidence."
"But Miss Shuangyi is a foreigner after all and cannot testify in court. The other deceased girl, because it was too long ago, the evidence of the crime has long been destroyed, and the trial court was also bribed by Alexis, leaving nothing useful.
evidence."
The old man Carl Ge bowed and said, "If it were the previous Monti Kingdom, you could force a conviction, but in the current Monty Empire, the majesty of the law needs to be established. You cannot punish people at will without evidence."
"Is it really impossible to convict?"
Chen Feng put down the scroll in his hand and looked at Mr. Carl Ge with squinted eyes: "Old Mr. Carl Ge, are you simply not trying your best? Or are you taking advantage of Alexis and deliberately not punishing him?"
"I am willing to protect the new law with my life, and I will never dare to bend the law for personal gain!" Mr. Carl Ge firmly denied it.
"Okay, please step back and I will make a decision on this matter."
Chen Feng pushed away Mr. Karl Ge, and Shuang Yi pushed open the screen and walked quickly from behind.
"Your status as the Great Emperor is too useless. You can't even kill your own ministers. If you were in our Dragon Clan, and you dared to touch me, no matter what your status, my father would definitely cut off his head."
The new laws of the Monty Empire left Shuangyi a little confused.
It is equivalent to putting shackles on the common people and nobles across the country, and at the same time tying their own feet. The identity and status of the common people will be improved, which means that the rights of the ruling class will be greatly weakened.
I have never seen any clan leader do such a stupid thing? Except Chen Feng...
"Just because the new law won't be effective in the short term doesn't mean it has no use."
Chen Feng looked at Shuang Yi with a strange smile on his face.
"What do you want with that wretched look? I swear to death!" Shuang Yi clenched her fists and threatened fiercely.
"Don't you want to seek revenge from Count Alexis? The opportunity is right in front of you now." Chen Feng asked Shuang Yi to come closer, and then told her his plan in detail.
"Are you using me as a swordsman again?" Shuang Yi pouted, "Don't expect me to help you with such a thankless task."
According to the plan Chen Feng had just made on a whim, Shuang Yi would come to assassinate Count Alexis, and then the Imperial Guard would rush in to clean up the mess.
The human race's punishment cannot restrain the dragon clan. Because of this loophole, they can be acquitted, send troops back to the dragon clan, and then take the opportunity to cancel the engagement.
"Is this mission difficult? Do you need me to send Greenland to assist?"
"Who are you looking down on? Our dragon clan is much stronger than your human clan. If I hadn't been drugged during the day, how could those guards have captured me?"
Being so excited by Chen Feng, Shuang Yi pushed the door open and left. Silver wings sprouted from his back and flew into the vast night sky.
Immediately, Chen Feng summoned Greenlan and asked her to lead four hundred forbidden troops. After the battle between Shuangyi and the Earl's Mansion was completely over, they rushed into the mansion.
Chen Feng knew a little about Shuang Yi's true combat power, and it was not very strong, but Alexis and the guards at the Earl's Mansion were unlikely to be her opponents.
"Forget it, just to be on the safe side, I'll go there in person!" Chen Feng and Green Lan, with four hundred forbidden troops, bumped into Commander Heyman as soon as they left the palace.
"It's so late, Your Majesty, why are you leaving the palace?" Commander Heiman looked at the people behind him.
These are not ordinary attendants, but brave and skilled Imperial Guards. They have knight regalia, but they deliberately put on a layer of robes to hide their identities.
"I took Greenland out for a walk. Does Commander Heyman have to take care of this?"
"I'm afraid it's not just a meandering, but seeking revenge." Commander Heiman blocked the way of Chen Feng and Greenland, bowed respectfully and said: "As the supreme commander of the kingdom, I have the obligation to prevent your majesty from doing something inappropriate.
.
Among the holders of the Order of Earls, the Alexis family is particularly noble, and can even compete with Gladstone as a king. If you abuse lynching, on the one hand, it will destroy the prestige of the new law, and on the other hand, it will destroy the prestige of the new law.
This may trigger a mutiny in the military camp."
Earl Heyman carefully analyzed the pros and cons, trying to get Chen Feng to give up his idea.
Even though he knew Alexis' crime for a long time, he didn't want to say it, let alone that he would be sentenced to death.
At present, there are frequent external wars. If civil strife breaks out again, the newly born Monty Empire will become a lonely boat in the storm and face the risk of destruction at any time.
Taking into account the pros and cons, one can only bend the law for personal gain.
Mr. Carl Ge held the same view as him, so he deliberately acquitted Alexis in court due to insufficient evidence.
"We really went out for a walk and asked the Imperial Guards to wear robes because we wanted to visit privately incognito without disturbing the civilians. If Commander Heiman doesn't believe it, we can go together."
"I have just had dinner and my lower abdomen is distended and painful. I happen to want to take a walk to relieve my hunger. It is my honor to be able to go with you."
Seeing that the situation could not be stopped, Commander Heiman had no choice but to pass through. If Chen Feng acted deviantly, he would be able to stop him in time.
