Eagle Flag of Epirus

As night fell, the rain at Fort Wiscari remained unabated, but at this moment the nobles gathered in a palace in the castle at the same time. This is a palace that can be traced back to the classical era. For the ancient Roman emperors and dignitaries who like Greek culture, they naturally left a variety of "palaces" in their visits and stops, although the classical palaces have been dilapidated and experienced hundreds of The changes in the year have long been completely unrecognizable, but here is undoubtedly the most suitable place for trial

Hundreds of heavily armed soldiers blocked all entrances and exits. The allegations against Duke Leo are undoubtedly an appalling scandal whether they are true or not. Therefore, at the strong request of the nobles, the trial was changed to a secret questioning meeting.

As the accusers, Justinian and Leos Gross fell into the same situation for a time, blurring their identities. Even though he knew it was very unfavorable to him, Justinian accepted such a decision.

The carriage slowly stopped in front of the door, but Duke Leo, who was supposed to be a prisoner, got out of the carriage and walked towards the palace, and happened to meet Justinian, who felt here at the same time.

"What a coincidence, Your Excellency." Duke Leo said lightly. Obviously, despite being arrested by Justinian at the time, no one dared to be rude to him because of his identity. The detention all day and night made this There was no haggardness on the man's face, and even his clothes were spotless and calm.

While turning a deaf ear to the provocative meaning of the man's words, Justinian just looked at each other quietly without saying anything.

At this moment, the door in front of them suddenly opened rumblingly, looking at the deep promenade and the solemn guards. The soldiers who escorted them all relaxed at this moment. Even if they haven't seen those among them, the natural coercion of the nobles is enough to make anyone shudder and restrain their behavior consciously.

Tonight, a trial or questioning of the nobles will be held in this ancient palace, and the oncoming cold wind makes people shudder slightly.

However, Justinian and Leosgros didn't react at all, and walked directly into it under the **** of the **** beside them.

Although it is a long time ago, this palace obviously has not been completely abandoned. It has been repaired. So in a short time, the nobles of Moria quickly arranged everything. The corridors were filled with refreshing noble incense, and the ground It was covered with purple blankets, and on both sides there were fully armed guards standing motionless with halberds.

This is what the nobles are keen on, especially the Byzantine nobles, who have gone through several years of changes, no matter when and where, they love the grandeur of all arrangements. Looking at the icy and gorgeous decoration, Justinian sneered slightly. Even though he has become a bereavement dog and exiled, these nobles still hold amazing wealth, and you can imagine where this came from.

The Komunin dynasty gave trade privileges to the city-states of Northern Italy, which did severely damage the empire’s economy, but for a long time the social wealth of the empire was not affected. On the contrary, the empire’s finances were tight, and the reason was precisely that. It is a serious corruption of ink, but this is precisely legal, because the disintegration of the military region system has greatly increased the autonomy of these nobles in local finances. This directly led to the emptiness of the imperial treasury in the future, but the nobles were still able to act as they pleased.

And as the door of the inner hall was slowly opened, Justinian and Duke Leo walked into it together, and at the moment sitting on the high platform were the Moria nobles who had been keeping aloft.

The topic tonight is the trial, and the trial is the charge of treason against Duke Leo, but at this moment Justinian, who is overlooked at this moment, has a feeling of being tried.

In the dim light, the faces of the nobles could be vaguely seen, of all colors, some whispering to each other, some silent, but the thing they had in common was that they were all staring at Justinian below.

Justinian is familiar with this kind of lofty eyes, but he has seen too many of them. At this moment, the Moria nobles are completely gone, and the panic of the previous Venetian siege has become the same as before. Pretentious, but in the eyes of Justinian, it is extremely ridiculous.

And these nobles were obviously the most dissatisfied with Justinian's face-to-face attitude.

It was not Grand Duke Anastasius sitting above who presided over this trial, but another nobleman of Moria. He was the original lord of Tripolis. I saw this man wave his hand. The guards immediately took orders to withdraw from the scripture hall and completely closed the door behind Justinian. There was also silence in the hall. The nobles who had been talking to each other were also sitting in silence, waiting for the beginning of the trial.

"All of you here today are here to question our Lord Leosgros, Duke of Corinth, and Governor Justinian. Please keep quiet." The man in the middle of the trial said lightly, but he obviously I didn't say it to the silent aristocratic seat, but looked at Justinian below me, meaning something.

But Justinian, who knew this well, still twitched his lips and smiled: "I remember this should be a trial, right, don't you, Lord Conil?"

Seeing the nobleman Justinian in front of him directly yelled out the other party’s name, he was very unhappy with the other party due to the previous farming problems in Tripolis, so Justinian had nothing to do with this man presiding over this trial. accident. But Justinian didn't worry about it~www.ltnovel.com~ the other party would try to openly reverse the right and wrong, because no one dared to shake the authority of Roman law.

Facing Justinian’s questioning, Earl Conil kept quiet and asked in a deep voice: "Your Excellency Justinian, we have seen everything you did before, and thank you very much for repelling it. Venetian, but it does not mean that you can do whatever you want. You must know that the consequences of accusing an imperial nobleman without evidence are very serious according to Roman law, especially if you accuse Duke Leo of treason, if You can’t prove that the cost is probably not something you can afford. Because of this, I think it’s more appropriate to use questioning methods, and this will not seriously damage the reputation of Duke Leo. Even if you already know this, you still Do you want to keep going?"

"Of course, everyone here and I know exactly what the rules are. Since they are insurmountable, of course I am fully prepared."

"Yes. In that case," Earl Conil nodded and said, "Then in the next trial, we will still use the means of questioning. I hope you will cooperate. In that case, we will save a lot of trouble. If Chass Your Excellency Denny, you can provide sufficient and strong evidence. The old man guarantees with his personal reputation that all the noble juries will pass the punishment for treason against Duke Leo. However, if you have no evidence or the evidence is overturned, you too Will be punished the same!” The old man’s voice resounded like a bell, echoing in the empty hall, but Justinian remained unchanged.

"I will cooperate, because I know that if you fail, then please start!" Justinian raised his head and looked at the top with a calm expression, examining the various expressions of the nobles on the stage. .
