Shaman from Afar
Vol 4 Chapter 64: "They" (Part 2)
Eckhardt II's decision did not exceed Victor's expectations ... It was not that the situation was forced, but that the Yuqian Cabinet knew too much about their emperor.
The emperor's orders are laws, and the emperor's words and deeds cannot be changed.
The supreme emperors of the twelfth generation of the Sacran Empire, the busy and inactive have it, the wanton and debauchery have it, and the successful have it.
But there are only two who have truly achieved these two things and are committed to it ... Brandon I, the "sage" of the sixth generation, is under His Majesty Eckhart II today.
Even the tenth-generation Queen Charlotte, known as the "Queen of Mad Dragons", known for her blood and ruthlessness, once hesitated for a long time about whether to deprive the Black Duke of the title ... …
After seeing Eckhardt II leave, Victor took a step towards the outside of the sky dome; when he had not yet reached the second palace gate, he was stopped by the Minister of the Seal, Metternich, and invited to Have a drink in the side hall.
The judge hesitated and finally agreed.
"What do you want to drink? I have the new brew of black malt from Lotel, the semi-sweet red grapes of Ebden, and the mead produced in our family ... Is there any habit of making wine in Master Victor's house?"
"Please feel free." Some helpless Victor Hughes sat down and glanced helplessly at Metternich who was busy in front of the wine rack: "Our family does not have a manor and a fief, and does not often drink."
"Let's try this bottle of Bain's fine sweet grapes ... except for the fierce and warrior knights, they only have the best wine." Metternich slightly raised his mouth and opened the bottle skillfully, carefully. Filled with two glasses, some distressed did not forget to put the bottle back.
Victor held up the glass, the mellow color and tangy fruity aroma, even if he was not good at drinking, he could feel the preciousness of the agar in the glass.
"Lord Victor ... You seem to be having something wrong today."
An understatement sound came; Victor raised his head and Mettner's cold, sharp eyes came into view.
The judge did not speak, nor did he ask how the other party discovered it; the minister who accepted his default nodule slightly nodded, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared:
"I know what the reason is, but I must first remind you not to be used by some people ... the current situation is to some extent very bad for you."
Victor's eyes were closed, and the syrup in the glass was shaking slightly, looking like a skilled and leisurely posture of an old drinker.
But both of you here knew that it was definitely not.
Metner ’s voice without emotion came again: "You must be prepared ... The Yuqian trial, although you are the Yuqian judge, every time you make a decision, it will be seen as the will of your majesty; I know you I ’m still regretting what happened in the past, but now it ’s definitely not time for stubbornness. Now you must not regret it! "
"Should I still be honored?" Victor laughed at himself: "It was me who signed the motion."
"There is also me ..." Metternich expressionless:
"If it is really what the church said, let the innocent people who died that year get the due justice, we should have died a hundred times; but this does not help, believe me, Victor; a sense of responsibility is a good thing, but sometimes ... this makes no sense. "
"In the court of Yuqian trial, you are the embodiment of imperial law and the will of the emperor. You can show a bit of pain to the dead, but you must not blame yourself! Even under the cries of countless witnesses, be unmoved! "
"Do not forget ... whether you are willing or unwilling, the life and death of Lussak Kovo bears the grudges of the Holy Cross Church and wizards of the capital for nearly a century; all you have to do is never be controlled by any party. The process of living this trial has become a tool for their purpose! "
"If there is no accident ... Victor Hughes, the imperial trial in five days ... is the pinnacle of your life, and will become the most shining moment in your life."
"Can you stick to the‘ justice ’in your heart, the‘ imperial law ’in your mind is sacred and inviolable, and how will the name of‘ Victor Hughes ’be recorded in the history books of the empire, that day will begin!”
Metternich sipped his lees softly, and said softly in an almost seductive tone: "And after the imperial trial, your majesty intends to promote you to become the new imperial minister of finance, to take charge of the imperial wealth ... and forever."
"Minister of Finance ?!"
"Heart moved?" Mettner's mouth narrowed as he looked at the consternation passing by on the other's face for a moment.
"No, it's because it's impossible." After only a moment of effort, Victor regained his original serious expression: "It takes more than ability, network and reputation to get that position ... Master Metternich, you compare I know this better. "
"What's more, how could His Majesty allow people who he can't completely control to control the empire's financial power?" He murmured: "A person from a remote little noble family who has no inheritance rights has become the pinnacle of my path.
"Victor, you are very smart and capable, and have a great front ..."
"I am also fifty years old, Master Metternich, not much younger than you; and the situation will become like this, which just proves that I am not smart enough."
The difficult dialogue caused the two to fall silent, gently clinking glasses with each other, and swallowed.
"Speak, what do you want me to do?"
Putting down the glass, Victor is ready to talk openly with the minister of the seal of the seal: "As you said, I will never favor any party and be absolutely fair in the imperial trial! So you better not ..."
"If you want to find someone clear, I will never find our Supreme Court Justice." Metternich smiled slightly. "On the contrary, as I said ... I'm here to help you."
Victor frowned.
"In order to be able to win in the imperial trial, both the Holy Cross Church and the wizards will definitely try their best, and even use various dirty methods to gain an advantage ... So my first suggestion to you is to limit the witnesses. Number of people. "
"Limit the number of witnesses?"
"Yes, if you do not control the number of people, the entire trial will fall into endless chaos. It is also possible that the judge will not be able to step down from the public!"
"I have also served as a judge, and I am familiar with certain means of" court hooligans "... encouraging mobs to make trouble in the courts, and even rushing guards to beat prisoners ... There are countless dirty and dirty means!"
Metternich shook his head, seeming to remember some unbearable past: "Secondly, both sides will certainly send their own defenders to appeal for their own parties; I think you can guess without me saying, Lussak Co. The defender of Master Wo is ... "
"His Highness Brandon's Wizard Advisor, Loren Turin." Victor nodded slightly: "There should be no second except him."
"I heard that he has found a lot of sufficient evidence to clear Lusak Kovo's charges." Metternich nodded slightly: "I also heard that ... he has offended a lot in order to get these evidences. people."
Victor bowed his head in contemplation and declined to comment.
"Of course, you don't have to worry about this ... again, it doesn't seem strange that the wizard counselor of His Highness Brandon will do anything." Minister Zhang Xi whispered and spoke softly: "As for the defender of the Zahn family , It ’s the Holy Cross Church. "
"church?!"
Victor's pupil suddenly shot a cold light: "The church judge ... the cabinet minister Terrace Lufu is going to defend the Zane family personally ?!"
"Of course not-it is said that he himself had this desire ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ also wanted to sweep your face very much, but was rejected by His Majesty ... If you let a cabinet minister appear, this trial will not be fair Words, just one-sided massacre. "
"What the **** is ..."
"No matter who it is, this person's ability to replace the judge of the church as a representative of the Holy Cross Church proves that he must not be underestimated."
A look of calmness in the eyes of Metternich flashed a strange glory:
"Remember, Your Majesty is watching us ..."
"Sit on the throne of the heavenly palace, overlooking us quietly ..." ...
