Chapter 739: The case hastily concluded
During the invasion of the remnants of the Six Kings, in addition to Solandel's heroic command, Lorna's unrelenting fight, and Dinisha's sword that determined the outcome, there were also a group of people with insignificant identities who also left a mark on this battle.
of a sum.
The northern mining area was originally a gathering place for losers. The people who worked here were either ordinary soldiers who couldn't make it in the interior, or lowly slaves who were like animals.
In this battle, when the remnants of the Six Kings invaded the interior and hunted down the remaining soldiers of the Frozen Fortress, it was this group of losers who stepped forward and charged into the battle under the leadership of Lugo, an exile, and penetrated the main force of the tribe from the rear.
, greatly slowing down the enemy's offensive pace.
If Lugo hadn't led the charge into the battle, the seriously injured Solandel would most likely have been killed by tribal warriors before Kino arrived.
Therefore, if we really have to look back, the biggest contributor to saving Solandel this time is no one else, but the soldiers and slaves in the northern mining area, and Lugo, who integrated this group of losers.
Of course, Lugo was guilty after all. He had previously committed the crime of killing the grandson of the Far Eastern Emperor in anger, and later committed the crime of assaulting and killing an officer in the northern mining area. He would inevitably have to undergo cross-examination and trial.
At this time, Lugo had been brought back to the palace and was being interrogated in an interrogation room. The identities of the two presiding judges were very subtle. They were both judges drawn from the cities surrounding the Cardinal Province. Their positions were "main city level".
".
It is very thought-provoking that an official of this level would not even be considered a sesame seed in the palace, but he was ordered by the king to take on the responsibility of interrogating serious criminals.
In the courtroom, Lugo was not wearing a torture device. He was leaning back on his chair with a lazy look on his face, yawning incessantly out of boredom.
Seeing this, the deputy interrogator slammed the table and scolded: "Lugo, you are now a prisoner under interrogation, please behave more appropriately!"
Lugo had an expression on his face that said he was too lazy to bother you, and his posture became even more paralyzed.
"You!" The deputy judge was so angry that he couldn't speak.
The chief judge silently took over the topic: "Lugo, you were originally sent to the northern mining area for your crime, but instead of working hard there to atone for your sins, you attacked and killed your superiors and reorganized everyone for military operations without authorization. We really need to be investigated. This is an act of treason."
Sin, do you admit it?"
Lugo said lazily: "No."
The deputy judge scolded: "Don't admit it? We have interrogated those who survived, and everyone's confession is consistent. It was you who killed the captain of the northern mining area. Now you don't admit it?"
Lugo: "Is there any evidence?"
This actually stopped the two judges. What evidence was there? The captain had been dead for who knows how long. His body had been turned into ice by the cold current. Moreover, the situation was so chaotic at that time. Where could I find physical evidence?
The deputy prosecutor said coldly: "Since you don't admit it, then tell me the situation in the northern mining area from beginning to end."
Lugo: "I saved the princess."
Deputy Inquisitor: "I didn't ask you this. I was asking you about the situation in the northern mining area."
Lugo: "I saved the princess."
Deputy Inquisitor: "How did the captain of the northern mining area die? Why did those soldiers and slaves listen to your orders?"
Lugo: "I saved the princess."
The muscles on the deputy prosecutor's face twitched, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Other than these words, what else can you say?"
Lugo: "I'm taller than you, I'm better than you, and I'm more handsome than you."
The deputy judge's expression changed and he looked at the chief judge: "This person..."
The chief judge was silent for a moment and said seriously: "As for the third point, I don't agree."
Lugo rolled his eyes and complained: "I said, can you do something serious? Is the matter in the northern mining area important? There is only one fact before you now - I led people to rescue Her Royal Highness the Princess. Others.
People are waiting outside to celebrate, and I’m sitting here being interrogated. Isn’t it funny?”
The deputy prosecutor narrowed his eyes and said: "Of course there is a reason why you are sitting here on trial. Since you are avoiding talking about the northern mining area, let's talk about other things."
"We heard a very subtle thing. According to the confessions of other soldiers, you shouted a slogan before leading the charge - it was not the 'Glory to the Sun' used by the Royal Army to boost morale. You changed the slogan twice without authorization.
The word is, 'Glory to my Lord'."
"Please explain, what is your intention? Who is this 'my lord'? You might as well say his name."
"Get the hell out of here!" Lugo, who was originally lazy, suddenly became irritable, overturned the table violently, pointed at their noses and yelled, "Two OOs, I was in a good mood to chat with you just now, and you kicked me.
It’s on your nose, right?”
"Who do you think you are? Are you worthy of interrogating me? I'm telling you right now, I'm the one who killed the captain, I'm the one who seized the military power, and I'm the one who acted without authorization - what can you do?"
"Half of the life of Your Highness Princess was saved by me, and you want to hold me accountable? Ask the people if they will agree, and ask the ministers if they will agree!"
"I'm just taking credit for my merits today, don't you accept it? Even if the king stood in front of me, he would have to lower his head and thank me honestly! It's better for you, two sesame officials at the main city level dare to interrogate me? Eat it.
Go ahead!"
After Lugo finished speaking, he walked over and said "he~tui" twice, spit into each of their cups, and left in a swaggering manner.
After the initial sluggishness, the deputy judge came to his senses and slammed the table angrily: "Damn barbarian! I have never seen such an arrogant criminal! Sir, just let him go like this?"
The chief judge smiled slightly: "It's almost done, let him go."
The deputy prosecutor asked inexplicably: "What does this mean?"
The chief judge sighed and said earnestly: "It seems that you have not understood the purpose of our coming here. Think about it, there are so many high-level judges in the royal city for prisoners with complex situations like Lugo, why do they only
Call two of our local officials to try? It’s obvious that the trial won’t work.”
"The reason why His Majesty the King did this is very simple - he just doesn't want anyone to try this case. As Lugo said, no matter what crimes he committed before or what he did later, he is the one who can save His Royal Highness the Princess.
Hero. If we touch him, people everywhere will be excited, and Her Royal Highness the Princess and the ministers will definitely do their best to protect each other. When the trouble breaks out, everyone inside and outside will be ungrateful."
"But Lugo does have a big case on his back, and he can't leave it unattended, so what should we do? There is only one way - to close the case hastily. Call us two sesame officials over, and hastily review the case and go through the procedures, and nothing will be found out.
, this case is settled like this, and there is an explanation both internally and externally.”
"Even if Lugo's old score needs to be opened in the future, your and my names will still be on the closing report. Just bring us two sesame officials out for questioning, and senior officials in the palace will not be implicated."
"In the final analysis, the two of us seem to be carrying a heavy responsibility, but in fact we are just accompanying guests to go through the motions." The chief judge looked at the direction Lugo was leaving and said profoundly, "This guy has really changed his destiny this time.
Chapter completed!
