The councilors whispered to each other. Under the effect of the divine spell, the truth and lies in Tang En's words could be seen clearly by everyone.
But because of this, they had no way to deal with Tang En.
Hogg Bopp was not killed by him, and the lie detector spell had confirmed that what he said was true. What else could they do?
Didn't they see that even Earl Bopp had given up?
Unless … unless they decided to ignore the results of the lie detector spell and forcibly convict him!
Even though these nobles were used to being shameless, they still felt a little embarrassed at this moment.
Especially when this was witnessed by the divine spell …
Leander suddenly said, "In that case, the case of Hogg Bopp's death is closed. Baron Tang En is declared innocent."
Earl Bopp's face was livid, and he clenched his fists tightly. But at this moment, Leander shook his head slightly at him. Earl Bopp calmed down with great difficulty.
Immediately after, he heard a flat voice say, "Since the farce is over, can we talk about business?"
Earl Bopp stood up angrily. "Farce!? How dare you say that my son's death is a farce!? "
"Do you have any objections to what I said?"
A man in his twenties or thirties sat at the front of the jury's table. Tang En glanced at him. This guy looked quite handsome. His facial features were very Greek, and his slightly curly blonde hair added a lot of points to him.
This guy sat there, his right hand playing with the ring on his left finger. His eyes kept looking down at Tang En as if he was looking at an ant waiting to be slaughtered.
"Marquis Cardier!"
When Earl Bopp saw this person, his face immediately turned ashen. "I, I have no objections …"
"If you have no objections, then get lost."
Earl Bopp did not dare to utter a word. He did not care that the Aristocratic Parliament was in progress. He actually turned his head and left dejectedly.
Tang En was surprised. This guy seemed to be very arrogant? Earl Bopp was scolded like this, but he did not even dare to fart.
"If that's the case, let's deal with the Cadier Family."
Leander knocked the hammer, coughed softly, and said faintly: "As far as we know, Baron Tang En went to Caspamy Castle more than a month ago and met with Lord Tang En. Then he broke into the Lord's Mansion with a sword and assassinated Lord Duwei. Baron Tang En. Is this true? Please answer. "
Tang En nodded calmly. "That's right."
"In other words, you admit to the crime of killing Baron Duwei Cardier?"
"Oh, because he —"
Leander interrupted Tang En's words, "Do you admit the crime of killing Baron Duwei?"
Leander's question was very clever. He avoided the opportunities for Tang En to defend himself and directly convicted him.
"Oh?"
Tang En suddenly laughed. He had also seen through these guys' intentions. "You want to convict me directly? Interesting. "
"Please be serious!"
Leander's face darkened. "Otherwise, it will be an additional crime!"
"Okay, okay, don't do this. Isn't it just putting a label on someone? I've seen a lot of it."
Tang En curled his lips. "You're still too young to play this in front of me."
"It seems that you don't want to confess?"
"I'm not guilty. How can I confess?"
Tang En sneered. "Isn't the truth released by the Mercenary Guild enough to prove the problem?"
Leander's eyes flickered. "The Mercenary Guild is the Mercenary Guild. We are the Parliament of Nobles. We only believe in our own investigation!"
Whoa, this was blatantly shameless.
"I'm too lazy to beat around the bush with you."
Tang En looked at the sky and said impatiently, "I killed Duwei, but the reason why I killed him —"
Leander immediately interrupted Tang En. "Since you have confessed, then I declare —"
"Shut up."
Tang En suddenly said coldly, "Who allowed you to speak?"
The flat voice was full of irresistible majesty. Leander, who was targeted by Tang En, felt that his whole body could not move, as if there was a mountain pressing on his body.
Tang En continued to say flatly, "Let's not talk about whether I'm guilty or not. Even if I'm guilty, you are not qualified to convict me."
"Presumptuous!"
The councilor next to him was furious. "The Parliament of Nobles is the highest judicial institution in the Empire! It has the absolute right to judge and convict the nobles of the Empire! You will be punished for being so unscrupulous! "
Tang En glanced at them, and the councilors froze one by one.
His eyes were so scary!
"You are Marquis Cardier?"
Tang En looked at the man and shook his head. "You don't look like Duwei's father. More like a brother. What a pity."
"I am Charles Cardier, the current patriarch of the Cardier family. For the time being, I can be regarded as his brother."
Charles said flatly, "What do you want?"
"In other words, you are in charge of the Cardier family now?"
Tang En smiled. "Very well. In that case, I have a score to settle with you after the meeting. Don't go."
Charles sneered. "Wait until you can leave here."
"Don't worry, it won't take long."
Tang En yawned and said to the jurors who did not know the truth, "One of Duwei's crimes is that he openly trampled on the Empire's laws and occupied the Brussels iron mine owned by Ellington without permission. He also enslaved Ellington's residents and forced them to work in the mines."
"Another of Duwei's crimes is that after I took back the Brussels iron mine, he ignored my request for peace and refused to compensate Ellington's losses. Instead, he declared war on Ellington and sent his soldiers to destroy Ellington, causing Ellington's losses …"
Thinking of the lie detector under his feet, Tang En paused for a moment. He took back his words of pretending to be pitiful and continued without a change in his expression, "The third of Duwei's crimes is that Baron Duwei colluded with the priest of the Dark Serpent, Carmen Paar, and ordered his men to secretly kidnap hundreds of girls from the territory for Carmen to sacrifice … I think this third crime alone is enough to prove that Duwei deserved to die."
The Dark Serpent!
Suddenly hearing this name, the faces of the jurors changed. They all lowered their voices and began to discuss.
They couldn't help but be nervous because when Tang En said these words, the lie detector did not respond. In other words, what he said was all true!
"Oh, yes, I think the Mercenary Guild should have found a letter. Presumably, that letter may have been lost for some reason, right?"
Tang En smiled and took out the previously copied envelope from his arms. He threw it in front of the jurors, "But I still have a copy here. This is the letter between Duwei and the members of the Dark Serpent. You can take a look."
Then, Tang En said with a smile, "In addition, I have to add that the one found by the Mercenary Guild and this one are all copies. I hid the original, but I have as many copies as you want, so don't worry."
Liandre, who couldn't move, almost vomited blood when he heard this!
They had wasted a lot of resources and power to finally calm down Duwei's matter. Now, a noble was actually involved with the Dark Serpent. No matter who knew this result, it wouldn't be a good thing.
So, they waited until this matter calmed down before they sent a message to Tang En. They planned to take the opportunity to knock down this newcomer from the royal faction and not be too arrogant.
As a result … Who would have thought that he was still holding the letter in his hand!
Charles's face suddenly became gloomy.
The jurors next to him looked at him with strange eyes.
These idiots!
Charles cursed in his heart. He stood up and was about to leave.
"Mr. Charles, please don't go."
Tang En stopped him and said faintly, "Baron Ellington and I have already negotiated the compensation. He confessed to the embezzlement of Ellington's property and agreed to compensate for the illegal gains. We signed a contract. Since you are now the acting patriarch of the Cardier family, I think you need to take a look at this contract."
Charles took a deep breath and asked with a gloomy face, "What contract?"
"Please take a look."
Tang En smiled and showed the contract in his hand.
The jurors only took a cursory look and suddenly there was a sound of inhalation. They looked at Tang En in horror as if they were looking at a monster.
"Haha … Haha … Hahahaha …"
After Charles finished reading the contract, he suddenly laughed wildly. He laughed so hard that even tears came out.
Tang En didn't say anything and just waited for him to laugh.
After a few minutes, Charles finally stopped laughing. He looked at Tang En as if he was looking at an idiot, "I wasn't sure before, but now I am sure that you are really an idiot."
"Really? I think I'm quite smart. "
"No, you are really an idiot."
Charles shook his head and sneered, "Two million gold coins? You really dare to ask for it! Do you think that the gold coins of our Cardier family came from the wind? "
"No," Tang En said very seriously, "I think that the gold coins of your family came from robbery."
"You-"
Charles took a deep breath and said coldly, "I will not recognize the contract you signed with Duwei. It's ridiculous, and the authenticity of this contract is very questionable. I think that Duwei signed this contract under your coercion, so the contract is invalid!"
The smile on Tang En's face gradually disappeared, "In other words, the Cardier family wants to renege on the debt?"
"We have never owed anyone anything, so how can we renege on the debt? Baron Tang En, in Alinx, don't think too highly of yourself. Be careful not to fall half to death. "
Charles sneered and turned around to leave.
"I won't fall to death."
Tang En smirked, "But you can't be sure."
As soon as he finished speaking, Charles, who had just reached the stairs, suddenly groaned and slipped. He actually rolled down the stairs in a sorry state!
Are our eyes playing tricks on us?
The jurors were stunned. How did Marquis Cardier fall?
At the bottom of the stairs, Charles, who was lying on the ground in pain, had an ugly expression.
