Vol 4 Chapter 28: After the shady (below)

Emperor capital sky palace, noon.
Although growing up from a young age, Brandon has never felt comfortable here-too huge and spaceless, in order to conform to the "plain" aesthetic of the Dessarian family, or Sacrament, Square and square standard specifications, I wish everything in each room is absolutely symmetrical.
Compared with the mausoleum-like sky dome, the Royal Pavilion built by successive emperors is more distinctive. It can also be seen the characteristics of each generation and the trend of the time ... such as the Xia Mu courtyard of the tenth-generation Queen Charlotte.
Not only that, except for the palace, the aristocratic house and the royal front cabinet, there are not even a few really decent palaces in the entire sky dome. All of them are towers like fortresses, standing on the top of the gentle Golovin hills.
This includes the "office" location of Justice Yuqian.
"Uncle Victor, are you looking for me?"
With a childlike smile on his mouth, Brandon, who walked into the room, sat down unkindly, and the middle-aged man blinked at the table.
Facing the enthusiasm of His Royal Highness, Victor Hughes did not make any response. He still buried his head in the table, and the white feather pen waved on the parchment with a simple fragrance, making a very comfortable voice.
The disregarded prince did not have any dissatisfaction, put his hands on his knees, and sat patiently on the chair waiting patiently.
This "good boy" -like face gave Victor Hughes a slight twist in his expression, but the quill in his hand still didn't stop. In a moment, the case description of more than 500 words has been written and solemnly written. Signed his name.
In the past, judges would affix their private seals for approval after writing, but the civilian-born Victor Hughes had a rare good character. The sharp handwriting could not be forged by others, even if it was read all day long. There won't be any scribble.
"Pretty!"
Brandon's heartfelt praise-if there is one word in the entire Sacrament Empire, it must be the one in front of him.
Fair and strict, but not rigid, and never changed easily, Victor Hughes's words are almost a portrayal of his handwriting.
Justice Yuqian was still expressionless. He looked at His Royal Highness, an innocent and childlike child in front of him, and the corner of his mouth accidentally twitched again inadvertently.
He didn't forget how much trouble he had cooked for Brandon, especially when he almost sent an heir to the Count of Empire to heaven. The harmless expression of the human and animal was like a devil's smile to him ...
Holy Cross is on top, why is there such a son? !
"His Royal Highness, I came to you today because of a very important thing." Victor said stiffly: "Your wizard advisor His Excellency Loren Turin, went to the black jail privately to meet a certain criminal, this matter Do you know?"
"Oh, of course." Brandon nodded cleverly: "Lusak Covo, right? I saw him when his son came to Loren, what happened?"
"Can you tell me, what do you think?"
"It's too much trouble to say that, just go ahead." Brandon, who raised his mouth, suggested: "What you really want to know is whether this is my advice, or Loren Turin's decision, I Is that right? "
"I didn't say that."
Victor's expression was still serious: "But you can answer that."
"I know about it, but I didn't participate." Brandon spread his hand and took his face for granted:
"This is my answer."
"Your answer?" Victor repeated deliberately, shaking his head slightly: "But many people don't think so. They think that you are instructing your wizard advisor behind you to accomplish your ulterior motive."
"Really?"
"Interfering in the judiciary, provoking the courts and even the former cabinet, it is an unforgivable felony even for the royal family!" Victor increased his tone:
"His Highness Brandon DeSalle, do you really know what you are doing?"
Justice Yuqian put down the quill in his hand and sighed softly.
If he can really do not want to say this to Brandon, but the prince has touched his bottom line-unauthorized investigation, private collusion and even interference in justice, he absolutely can not tolerate.
The most important point is that once a royal family such as Brandon is directly involved in the case of Siscott's murder, the originally messy murder will quickly evolve into a fight between several forces.
Turning cases and courts into "combat arenas" for interests and struggles will cause unavoidable damage to imperial justice.
This precedent can never be opened!
"In fact, I know exactly what I am doing." Brandon said slowly:
"But Uncle Victor, do you really know what you are doing?"
Judge Yuqian frowned slightly, with a bad expression.
"I know that you haven't started formal interrogation since the case was launched, just to protect the justice of the imperial laws; you know that once the hasty starts, either the Zahn family will retaliate or it will be used by some people."
"All in all, there must be some guys who jump out and interfere with your judgment."
Brandon smiled solemnly: "Your emphasis on legal justice is admirable ... But don't you care about the truth at all?"
"The truth?" Victor's tone was mocking: "What is the truth?"
"His Highness Brandon, we are not Holy Cross, we have no eyes that can see through everything! We can never know what happened that night-all we can do is find the right balance in very limited practical things . "
"That is justice, that is the law of the empire!"
"But if there is no truth, what is the meaning of the so-called" justice "?" Brandon still asked with a smile:
"If it's just looking at the things in front of you, if the truth doesn't matter, what should we believe in ... just by praying to the Holy Cross for justice and justice?"
"Uncle Victor, I respect you very much-not because of the good words you wrote, but because you are able to keep yourself in front of my ever-bright, great and correct father and emperor, and in front of those noble nobles ; Only people like you can work under tremendous pressure to safeguard the justice and law of the Sakran Empire. "
"Please don't let the law and justice become a tool of interest to maintain the stability of the empire."
"That will only disappoint those who once trusted you and admired you!"
With a long breath, Brandon stopped talking, sitting in a chair and waiting for the final decision of the imperial judge before him ~ EbookFREE.me ~ With his eyes closed, Victor Hughes seemed to be lost in thought.
After being quiet for a long time, the complex-eyed judge raised his head: "You believe your wizard advisor so much, can you find the truth and sufficient evidence behind this matter, and reverse the case for Lussak Kovo?"
Brandon's childish face showed a sun-shining smile:
"If he could find the vampire's secret in Wimpar, he could find evidence of the noble rebellion in the Deep Limburg, and excavate the Holy Blood Elixir and the conspiracy of the Bellini family in Ebden ...
"Yes, I believe 100% that Loren Turin can find the truth."
"And no one can do this except him!"
Victor finally frowned, and seemed to be thinking about the pros and cons of the two things. His eyes were fixed on the case narrative on the book case, and there were indeed a lot of obvious points.
Of course, he knew that something was wrong, and he didn't want to investigate it, but he was worried that too much involvement would cause a series of fluctuations.
The death of a former minister was already dangerous enough.
"One month." Victor said suddenly.
"Ugh?"
"From the incident, the latest trial is one month later, and two days and 28 days have passed." The judge's tone was solemn and determined:
"After that, I must give an explanation to His Majesty and the Empire."
"If Loren Turin can find evidence to overturn the existing trial before then ... I won't ask again."
"But before that, in order to avoid suspicion, you must also take the initiative to forbid to leave the sky dome for half a step, and sever all relations with this matter, can you?"
"Of course, no problem!"
"Will you do me a favor, then?"
"Okay, please talk!"
"Go out!"
