I Persuade People With Reason

Three days later, the courtroom.

The emperor of the empire, the judge who presided over the trial, the great nobles who watched the trial as spectators, representatives of the empire, the military, civilian elites and other strata, as well as those who insisted that Xiwei Ansair took place not long ago In the case of #wanted criminal Wuheng robbery ship escape#, the empire with a major suspicion? Xiwen, the third prince, has already sat down.

Prior to this, Xiwei Ansair was originally punished by the military for "mission failure". However, the third prince, Xiwen, insisted that things were not that simple, and suspected that the other party and the wanted criminal Wu Heng had reached some kind of agreement in private, which was how they survived.

In order to get clues about Wuheng from Xiwei, he pushed the retrial with all his strength, and somewhat unruly chose the courtroom, a place used to convict and sentence criminals. The trial was only a matter of Xiwei, who is suspected but has no conclusive evidence. He also used public opinion to create momentum, so that the outside world began to tend to his views.

All of these, in the final analysis, are all for the purpose of exerting mental pressure on Xi Wei, allowing the other party to expose his flaws under the pressure, so as to successfully obtain what he wants.

On the side of the courtroom, the third prince, Xiwen, accompanied the emperor to sit next to him, his eyes fixed on the direction of the gate.

He was tall and handsome, with golden hair the same color as the emperor, and dark blue eyes. He was a very attractive young man. Coupled with a sunny, cheerful and approachable personality, he is very popular in military academies and has always been well-received externally.

Therefore, when he so aggressively questioned Xiwei Ansair's loyalty, no one suspected that he had ulterior motives. Instead, they all believed that the third prince was out of strict consideration to maintain the honor of the empire. It was inevitable that they would also ? Begin to wonder if Xi Wei really has a problem.

And this answer, in fact, even Xiwen did not know.

To be reasonable, Xi Wei's previous remarks were beyond reproach, and the traces obtained during the exploration also confirmed his statement, and there is no evidence to prove that he betrayed the empire.

Shivan's suspicions were unfounded. If he is not the noble third prince, this will only be a farce.

But in any case, Xiwen was unwilling to let go of any clues about that person. He has become a crippled person and can still be freed from the control of the Empire, which has greatly exceeded his expectations! The premonition of danger kept reminding him that if he could not solve the hidden danger as soon as possible, that person might cause him great trouble in the future!

Therefore, Xiwen could only seize Xiwei, the only possible clue, and aggressively launched an offensive. Even if the other party is indeed an innocent innocent person. But the failure of the mission to let the man go is his most damned original sin!

Thinking like this, there was a coldness in his eyes.

When Xiwei Ansi Er walked into the judgment hall with a sullen face, two large dark circles on his eyes, and his whole person's mental state seemed extremely poor, the third prince Xiwen couldn't help but his eyes lit up.

——The spirit of the person in front of him has been crushed by the heavy pressure! Could it be that his suspicion that he would rather kill the mistake and let it go... actually hit the truth?

"Sorry, I did hide part of the truth."

When Xi Wei said this sentence in relief, the entire courtroom was silent for a moment, and everyone's faces showed shocked expressions at the same time. Could it be that he actually colluded with the former commander-in-chief? are you crazy? ? ?

"I've been tossing and turning for the past few days, or do I decide to give the empire? The next explanation. All citizens of the empire have the right to know the truth." Xi Wei took a deep breath and suddenly raised his head to look at the third prince, his eyes unprecedented Firm, "Before, out of fear for power and fear for my own life, I had to choose to hide the facts when I lost witnesses. But now, I have to make everything clear."

His gaze fell firmly on the third prince, causing a chill in the latter's heart for no reason.

"...If there is really a person responsible for Wu Heng's escape, that person is not me, nor? Not those comrades who died in the line of duty, but should be sitting here trying to judge me on trumped-up charges, His Royal Highness the Third Prince."

"—You are the culprit."

The courtroom was dead silent, and everyone was dumbfounded.

Looking at the desperate expression on his face, he stretched out his hand? Pointing at Xi Wei, the third prince, everyone couldn't help but wonder if this man was driven crazy by the third prince? Is it possible to be dragged into the water by a random sentence of unfounded slander? On the contrary, Xi Wei may be sentenced to a heavy sentence for this.

The third prince, Xiwen, apparently thought so too.

His face only sank, and he quickly regained his composure, and cast a ridiculous look at the circus at Xiwei who was talking nonsense: "Mr. Ansair, what if you think? Your lies can disrupt everyone's thinking, make me scrambling, so as to shift the focus and achieve your own ulterior motives, then you are very wrong."

His words were clear, with a smile on his lips, and his posture was elegant and calm, which formed a sharp contrast with Xi Wei, who had dark circles under his eyes. People unknowingly turned towards him.

There was a faint burst of suppressed laughter from the audience.

The judge presiding over the trial made everyone quiet, and reminded Xi Wei to speak at the right time? Careful consideration should be given.

"I've thought about it over and over." Xi Wei didn't seem to notice the change in other people's attitudes, he looked solemn, "I didn't want to say this, but now I have to say it. Just when I was thrown out Before the airship, I went to a prison cell, but unexpectedly found that one of my companions was trying to kill the prisoner..."

Having said this, ignoring the surprised expressions of others, he continued: "I stepped forward to stop him. But he warned me in turn, claiming that he had the support of the third prince behind him. On the way to exile, look for opportunities to attack, if I dare to intervene, stop this, or speak out, let me think about my own fate."

boom!

The courtroom exploded at once, and it was difficult to maintain the silence before. This news is so exciting!

The third prince, Xiwen, stood up abruptly, his fists clenched, and said in shock, "What nonsense are you talking about?!"

Judging from his posture, if it weren't for the crossbar in front of the seat here, he would have rushed up.

His reaction seemed normal, but anyone who was suddenly "slandered" like this out of thin air would no longer be able to maintain the original good manners. As for whether this anger is caused by being slandered or exposed by others, it is a matter of opinion.

"Xiwen." The emperor, who had been motionless as a mountain, called him in a warning way, "Reinforce yourself."

Only then did the third prince calm down and sit back honestly, but his gaze towards Xi Wei was very unkind.

Xi Wei ignored him and continued: "...I backed away shamefully at that time. In order to escape, I took the initiative to leave the cell and made an excuse to inspect. However, I just came to escape. When it was near the cabin, the whole ship suddenly shook violently, I realized something was wrong, I grabbed an escape cabin in a hurry, and then was thrown out."

After speaking about this "truth" that is true and false, Xi Wei's eyes were empty, and he recalled: "Later I saw that other companions were also thrown out, in a vacuum universe, they quickly Lost their lives. But I didn't see the only two people in the cell."

"...Afterwards, in order to prevent the third prince from realizing that I already knew about the fact that he sent someone to kill the prisoner, I concealed the conversation that took place in the cell...As an imperial soldier, I Apologies for my previous weakness."

There was an uproar in the courtroom.

The judge frowned: "What do you mean, in the face of the military investigation, the report that #fugitive Wuheng intercepted the airship# in an unknown way is not true, now you want to Overturn the previous rhetoric?"

"Yes. Because? There is another person on the airship." Xi Wei replied without hesitation, "Rather than believing that a crippled person with a genetic breakdown can perform miracles in a desperate situation, of course, another person is more suspicious, right? "

He smiled bitterly and said, "I should have expected it when he bluntly said the third prince. A secret that can be easily told to an untrustworthy third party must be sure that the other party will not have another chance to leak the secret. ."

In the trial hall, the faces of many people have become serious, and they have heard what Xi Weizheng is about.

Xi Wei made it clear: "Yes, I want to accuse the third prince of sending someone to rob prisoners, and at the same time kill the accompanying soldiers. Afterwards, I found out that I was the only survivor, so I framed it for treason? In order to erase all clues, there is no possibility of his actions being found out again."

There was a sound of inhaling cold air around, one after another, and the temperature of the Imperial City Star increased accordingly.

- Good? Guys! Dare to say it!

——Even if what he said is true, like this? Charge a prince out of thin air, even if he is temporarily exonerated, he is not worried about his future fate!

However, everyone thought about the aggressiveness of the third prince during this time, and they could understand Xi Wei's actions.

The eyes they looked at the third prince suddenly became very subtle. Is this shooting yourself in the foot?

The judge paused and glanced in the direction of the emperor before asking, "Do you have any evidence to prove everything you said?"

"No." Xi Wei spread his hands, "However, that person was a student in the last class of the Imperial Military Academy, his name was Fant, and he was almost expelled from the school because of Wu Heng. It was the third prince who helped him privately. If you go to investigate these things, you will definitely be able to find out.”

The Inquisitor turned his attention to the accused third prince.

Xiwen was warned by the emperor that he had been listening to Xiwei's words honestly before, but now it was finally his turn to speak, his expression seemed to have recovered calmly, and now he just spoke in a good manner: "This point I admit. I did help a student who was almost expelled out of sympathy. As for his name, I don't remember much. Because I never saw him again."

He looked at Xi Wei's line of sight? There was a coldness in his eyes: "What you said can only prove that Fant may have hatred for Wu Heng, and even did he take the opportunity to attack? There is no evidence to prove it. What's the point of involving me, someone who just got a chance to do a little favor? It's ridiculous? It's ridiculous. It's just nonsense."

Xi Wei asked innocently: "Isn't the third prince's suspicion of me? Same? Is it nonsense?"

He looked around, and in the eyes of everyone, he said plausibly: "I remember that the third prince said before that it is about the honor of the empire, and any doubts cannot be let go. Then, the same? It is a doubt without evidence, a The **** who was locked in the cell due to genetic collapse, colluded with a mere soldier in my area, not only successfully usurped the control of the airship, but also easily dealt with other people and successfully escaped... Or, get the back of the third prince A certain soldier he supported, first secretly killed the prisoner who had become a crippled man, and then, in order to preserve the secret, he directly silenced all his companions, and escaped by himself while taking advantage of the chaos... Which of these two possibilities is more reliable? Who is more suspicious of me and the third prince?"

"You!" The third prince was speechless for a while.

The expressions of the crowd have obviously changed.

Based on their own logic, they all felt that what Xi Wei said was more likely to be the truth.

I heard before that Wu Hengjie was a wretch who actually intercepted the ship and ran away. The first thought in everyone's heart was disbelief, followed by fear.

Wu Heng's achievements in the past ten years have not only shocked the Covenant, but also shocked the Empire. If this person is in a desperate situation? He can miraculously fight back. They have no doubt that the future empire will usher in his revenge! This is also the origin of the 2 billion bounty.

And now, knowing that the miracle did not happen, everything is the conspiracy of the third prince. Most people felt a slight sigh of relief. Let's just say, how can you fight back when your genes have collapsed! It is indeed fake!

Immediately afterwards, the eyes they looked at the third prince became playful. They didn't know that Wu Heng had offended many people, but if everyone was abolished, there would be no future troubles. It's just that things haven't been done beautifully, but? One.

Facing the different eyes of everyone, the face of the third prince Xiwen sank slightly. Of course he could see the meaning of these people, but not good? Say something.

At this time, the patriarch of the Ansair family suddenly coughed and looked at Xi Wei: "It's all suspicion without evidence, how can you be convicted? The empire? The courtroom is fair? Strict, of course not? Just wrong anyone. ."

His tone sounded like he was reprimanding Xi Wei, but in fact it was just the right cooperation. Xi Wei and the third prince were tied together. If the third prince continued to doubt Xi Wei, then he himself seemed to be more suspicious. It's better to count on both sides and take a step back.

Other people in mind? Secretly said a clever sound.

This is not only a relief for his own family members, but also a relief for the third prince, the emperor, and the judge to prevent this matter from continuing to be investigated.

Sure enough, the Inquisitor did not reprimand him for his talkativeness, but nodded slightly, and reiterated the outline of the empire's laws with a solemn expression. In the end, this confused trial was ended on the grounds of insufficient evidence.

Seeing the back of Xiwei walking out of the courtroom with his head held high and high-spirited, the third prince's face was as deep as water.

Just when he was about to leave, a figure stopped in front of him.

That was his fiancee, the eldest lady of the Lan family, Lan Yawei.

This tall, fiery red-haired beauty stretched out her slender arms and stopped the third prince, Xiwen, and stared at him coldly with a pair of upward phoenix eyes: "You do this, Is it for that woman?"
