Arknights is too real, right?
Chapter 670 Unbalanced Scales
Seeing Wei Lisa's arrival, Xia Feng was not too optimistic.
To be honest, whether it is the Supervisory Office or the Royal Court, they are all unfamiliar games to him, and he does not understand the rules of the game at all.
In the impression, Verisa is a kind and polite child, but this so-called impression is just a few encounters.
Xia Feng didn't know whether Verissa would answer truthfully.
If Verissa answers honestly, then he will have strong proof of alibi. For members of the royal family, let alone 10 witnesses, it will be enough to offset 10,000 witnesses.
But if Verisa doesn't answer truthfully, then he will be completely disappointed, and at the same time, Verisa will completely lose her good friend Turtle.
The water at the top of the empire was too deep, and Xia Feng was not sure whether there were any external factors that would force Velisa to lie even if she was willing to lose her good friend Guigui.
In the court, Verisa's face looked a little pale. Even as a member of the royal family, she rarely experienced such scenes that determine the fate of others.
Turning her head, Verissa glanced at Xia Feng, her eyes were complicated.
Seeing this look, to be honest, Xia Feng's heart, which had been secretly happy just now, had already turned cold. This look clearly meant embarrassment.
It seems that the Inspection Office's methods have penetrated into Verissa, a member of the royal family.
Of course, Verissa is not a direct descendant, and her status cannot be compared with the orthodox royal family like Princess Verin.
Xia Feng clenched his fists, and before Verissa could answer, he whispered to Verissa.
"Velisa Turtle said she misses you very much."
There was no way, there was really no way at all, otherwise he wouldn't be able to shamelessly show off Guigui's face.
However, he didn't force the emotional drama, nor did he lie. Before he left the barbecue restaurant, Turtle did say that she missed Verisa.
Upon hearing Turtle's name, Verissa's eyes visibly twinkled.
She pursed her lips, as if she was struggling internally.
According to rumors, Xia Feng knew that Weilantai loved his little daughter very much. Now that he saw Weilantai being questioned in front of everyone, Weilantai showed a trace of distress in his eyes.
"Velisa, don't be afraid, just tell the truth."
"yes."
Verisa put her hands on her chest and took a deep breath. Then, she lowered her hands, her eyes changing from hesitation to determination.
"That night, I attended a party invited by my classmates. The whole party lasted from 9 pm to 2 am. During this period, Xia Feng was present the whole time and never left the room for even a moment. I, Verissa, with the royal blood flowing in my body I swear by blood, this is absolutely true."
Hearing Verisa's answer, everyone at the scene had very exciting expressions.
Xia Feng and Kevin looked at each other secretly, half of the stone in their hearts had been put down.
At this time, an official from the Supervision Office suddenly stood up from his seat and said loudly.
"Your Honor, Your Highness Verissa is underage. I think her testimony is open to question."
Before Judge Weilantai could answer, a representative of the Yuan Assembly on his left slapped the table angrily.
"This is nothing to discuss. Is your Office of Supervision questioning the remarks of members of the royal family?"
The Yuan Council representative who spoke was at least 70 years old, and was probably the head of a large family in the north.
The officials of the Supervision Office still did not retreat despite the pressure.
"I don't dare to question members of the royal family. I just feel that this matter cannot be based on the testimony of one person. After all, the person who died was not a civilian, but the heir of the Usasiyiluo family."
"Her Highness Verissa's words alone are enough. How many more testimonies do you want?"
"But...this cannot be conclusively concluded."
Wei Lantai on the judge's bench had a complicated look on his face. Faced with the argument between the two sides, he did not say anything to stop it.
As a father, he absolutely believed in his daughter's words, but as a judge, he needed to convince everyone of his judgment. At least, he also had to make the other two collegiate judges understand.
Xia Feng didn't say anything. He didn't expect that the Yuan Council would speak for him. Of course, this might not be considered speaking for him. The Yuan Council was just maintaining the authority of the royal family.
Weilantai is still thinking.
Just when the Supervisory Office and the Yuanhui were at a deadlock, the court door was suddenly pushed open.
"boom!"
As the door opened, dozens of golden sword guards poured in and stood in two rows in front of the door. Then, an ethereal and quiet voice came in.
“It’s not the Inspector General’s turn to question the remarks made by the Victoria Royal Family, or does it mean that the Inspector General thinks that my sister Velisa is lying?”
Xia Feng followed the source of the sound and saw that the person walking in from the court door was actually Princess Wei Lin!
After Princess Verin walked in, all the people in the jury box at the door stood up automatically. Led by Maren Legg, everyone bowed their heads to Princess Verin.
Imperial Inspector General Kapelwami was so frightened that he trembled and quickly said respectfully.
"Princess Weilin, I dare not question this."
Among the people in the jury box, only one person remained motionless, that was Wei Na.
Wei Na sat expressionlessly on her seat, not even looking at Wei Lin, as if she regarded the imperial princess who looked very similar to herself as nothing.
Then, accompanied by the golden sword guards, Wei Lin stepped in wearing a white dress.
When she passed by Wei Na who was sitting in the first row, she just glanced at her gently without asking anything.
As everyone in the court stood up and watched, Weilin walked up to the judge's bench and sat half a step behind Weilantai.
Wei Lan Tai said a little puzzled.
"Weilin, why are you here?"
Verin gave a slight salute.
"Uncle, Xia Feng is the champion of the swordsmanship competition that I witnessed with my own eyes before. To show my respect, I am here to serve as a jury today. It should be okay."
"Yeah, of course."
Wei Lan Tai is Wei Lin's uncle. Although he is the elder in name, in the hearts of the officials and nobles in the court at this moment, Wei Lin's status is obviously supreme.
With the arrival of Wei Lin, the Supervisory Office did not dare to have the slightest doubt.
The alibi provided by Verissa for Xia Feng overturned all suspicions and even eliminated the need for follow-up investigation. Xia Feng had no further involvement in the murder of Lie Qi.
On the surface, Xia Feng received the personal support of Princess Weilin, which seemed like a great thing that fell from the sky.
But there was no hint of happiness on his face.
From the moment he saw Princess Wei Lin walking in from the gate, cold sweat broke out on Xia Feng's forehead. His intuition told him that Wei Lin's position might directly affect his fate.
In other words, Weilin can even surpass Weilantai and dominate the outcome of the subsequent trial. She has this ability.
Before Verin personally intervened, she had managed to get through the forgery of citizenship certificates, the attack on Kahn, and the murder of Liege.
But Xia Feng knew that the real big trouble was not these things.
Although the crime of murdering Lieqi was enough to execute him, it was not enough to really move him, because after all, it was just him.
What really made him nervous was that, until this moment, what Tailin had threatened him in the ring had not been revealed in court.
That is, smuggling 3,000 finished source stones to the Sargon government.
In order to deal with this matter, Wei Na should have prepared weights, but with the intervention of Princess Wei Lin, the scale of victory may tilt again.
It's raining, so I'll add another chapter.
