The court trial was held promptly at nine o'clock in the morning the next day in the side hall of the palace.

Late last night, Meiyi and his party arrived at Zhenling. Meiyi and Qiluo were imprisoned in the small house by the Meloxia Lake where he lived before. The two slept until eight o'clock, when Yingwu woke them up, "

Meiyi, Qiluo, pack up and prepare to attend the trial."

Meiyi agreed, made a serious breakfast, and finished it elegantly with Qiluo, then took a car to the palace.

In the car, Ying Wu asked strangely: "Mei Yi, why didn't you ask me if the queen and princess would participate in the trial?"

Meiyi said: "Needless to say, I also know that the queen secretly went to Black Crystal City to visit Princess Aiqilu. Even if the queen is here, she cannot defend me on such a serious matter. Even the royal family cannot agree with the entire aristocracy.

System versus system.”

Ying Wu was speechless for a moment. She scratched her long hair and said with a headache: "I really don't like to deal with smart people like you. I feel that I am completely redundant. Don't worry, King.

I said that--I will not let those who serve the Kingdom wholeheartedly not have good results."

"Stop scratching your hair, or you'll scratch yourself bald!" Mei Yi reminded kindly.

"I want you to take care of it!"

Side hall.

Meiyi took Qiluo's hand and walked in. She saw the long-lost palace chief of staff Duke Zezong, minister of lord affairs Earl Pei Yi, minister of tri-tribe affairs Duke Liuxin, Cardinal Angelia, Lilith, and

A few people I've never met before.

The two cardinals had met Mei Yi on different occasions before, but they had never talked to each other, and Mei Yi did not know them. They looked at the former lord of Black Crystal City and the people around him with some curiosity and pity.

Human girl.

Meiyi and Qiluo saluted respectively without saying anything.

Zezong, chief of staff of the palace, said: "Meiyi, we meet again."

Meiyi said: "Yes. I have forgotten how long it has been since the last work report. Is there finally a conclusion on how to deal with me?"

Ze Zong said: "That's right. This is not an easy thing. The kingdom has been quarreling over your matter, and the final decision may not satisfy you, but this may not be a bad thing for you."

Meiyi said: "Please let me know your final decision first."

Ze Zong glanced at Mei Yi, took the thick file, and said: "The final verdict for you is that your merits and demerits should be balanced and you will be acquitted, but you will not be allowed to return to the True Spirit and the Flower Spirit for life..."

Meiyi and Qiluo looked at each other and smiled: This is not a punishment at all.

"Also, Meiyi and his wife are not allowed to return to the Land of Wind."

Meiyi had not yet made any reaction, Qiluo was stunned for a moment, and then said coldly: "Does the Kingdom really want to be like this?"

Ze Zong took off his glasses, rubbed his eyes, and said with some disbelief: "I didn't hear clearly what you were saying just now. Can you please say it again?"

Qiluo said coldly: "Whether it's a real spirit or a flower spirit, we don't care about it. The Land of Wind is our home, why can't we return? Do you want to lock us in the flower spirit for the rest of our lives?"

Zezong said with a slight embarrassment: "Since it is a penalty decision, it will make people feel uncomfortable."

Qiluo sneered and said: "The kingdom asked my husband to serve as the great lord of Black Crystal City, which was in a state of cannibalism. Unexpectedly, Black Crystal City was not only free of turmoil, but also quickly became stable and wealthy. At this time, you are asking Black Crystal City again

I'm jealous and want to kick him away. Forget it, you still won't let us return to the Land of the Wind. Are you so cruel and callous to humans, even humans who work hard for the kingdom?"

Count Pei Yi, the minister of lord affairs, scolded: "Shut up! You are not allowed to comment carelessly on the kingdom's decision! Meiyi, as a former important minister of the kingdom, please control your wife!"

Meiyi spread her hands and said: "I'm sorry, I can't do this. The only condition my mother-in-law made when she agreed to marry her daughter to me was that she would have the final say in all matters at home. In addition, I am no longer very good at it.

Now that I’m working, I rely on my wife’s family to support me, so how can I dare to teach her a lesson?”

There was no laughter in the side hall.

Everyone knows that this is not the time to laugh.

Liu Xin, the minister of affairs of the three tribes, said: "Miss Qiluo, please forgive me. The kingdom also has its own difficulties. Besides, Meiyi is not completely human, is she? He grew up in the elf world, and he also has elf eyes.

.This eye still belongs to Lord Esther, the pride of the royal family..."

Qiluo was at a loss for words, so Meiyi said unexpectedly: "In other words, if I return this golden eye, there will be no problem, right?"

The entire side hall suddenly fell into a dead silence.

Everyone, including Qiluo, looked at Meiyi in disbelief.

This great human lord is famous for his bold decisions. When others say this, they will only regard it as a joke. But when Mei Yi said this, everyone believed it in their hearts.

Meiyi said calmly: "If this is the case, I am willing to return the eyes that Sister Esther gave me at any time. After all, they are not mine, and I am willing to return them to Sister Esther's family at any time."

There was still silence in the side hall.

I don’t know how long it took, but Duke Zezong broke the silence, “That is to say, you don’t accept this result, right? I want to remind you that if you don’t accept this result, what awaits you next is a public joint trial.

.I will tell you directly, those inquisitors are very unfriendly to humans, and the result will only be worse."

Mei Yi said: "I decided to participate in the public joint trial in exchange for a glimmer of hope. My mother-in-law once told me in tears that I must take Qiluo back to the Land of the Wind. I cannot accept your 'good intention' in any case."

Duke Zezong and others sighed, and said to Qiluo: "Miss Qiluo, the crime Meiyi committed has nothing to do with you. You can leave at any time, and the Royal Palace Knights will safely escort you to Hualing Academy.

"

"Don't worry, I want to be with my husband forever." Qiluo used all her strength to hug Meiyi's arm.

Duke Zezong stood up and said, "If you have considered the consequences clearly, then it is up to you."

Two days later, a joint trial was held in Emilia's main temple square.

No one expected that so many people would come to the main temple square. Nearly ten thousand people were like a tidal wave, surrounding the square. The Knights of the Royal Palace and the Knights of the Temple had to temporarily put up horse-blocking stakes and set up barriers to block the way.

People are isolated outside.

They got to know Mei Yi through "As You Like It, Lord." At this moment, this human lord was right in front of them, standing quietly with his wife at the judgment seat composed of kingdom officials and temple priests.

Before. All the judges wore masks, with only two eyes exposed.

Meiyi said this several times, but no one brought Qiluo a stool. Meiyi squatted down, put her hands on the ground, and slowly stood up. The ice cubes under her hands formed a huge frozen throne.

Meiyi spread her coat on the throne and asked Qiluo to sit down.

Qiluo sat down obediently, her long blond hair flying in the wind, like a queen.

The judge didn't seem surprised by Mei Yi's spiritual skills. They looked at each other, nodded, and decided not to interfere with Mei Yi's behavior.

A temple knight wearing a black robe, with high braids, and a stern look stepped forward and took away the string of black spirit guides from Mei Yi's hand. She glanced at the diamond bracelet Qi Luo was wearing.

He snorted coldly: This big lord is not as honest as the legend says. This bracelet alone is worth a sky-high price.

There is nothing good in this world. I don’t understand why Cardinal Illya could be attracted to such a person. For this reason, he was deprived of the position of papal successor and demoted to the lowest cardinal. He plays that song all day long.

A boring thing called a piano.

At nine o'clock, the trial started on time.

"Mei Yi, do you plead guilty?" a tall male judge came up and asked.

"I am guilty of the people of Sombra City. The first crime is that because I was afraid of being labeled as hating elves, I did not object to withdrawing the troops on the border between Sombra City and Giant Wood City, resulting in the massacre of tens of thousands of people. The second crime

Sin, because of my inner cowardice, I did not kill Fithro, which caused the souls of tens of thousands of people in Sombra City to have no rest in peace."

"Fisro is an earl, and the law of nobility applies. How can you be allowed to kill wantonly? Do you know how many nobles there were among the four thousand people you killed? 134! This is a blatant massacre of the nobles of the kingdom! In the past hundred years,

The most appalling incident." A fat male inquisitor roared angrily.

Mei Yi sneered: "You mean, the ten thousand people of our Black Crystal City deserved to be killed by the nobles? The newborn children of my Black Crystal City deserved to have their hearts cut out and disemboweled, and were picked on the tip of a sword? I, the people of Black Crystal City, deserved it.

Does a woman deserve to be raped wantonly? I, a good man from Sombra City, deserve to have his genitals cut off, his hands cut off, and his ears and nose cut off!"

The people outside the barrier were frightened when they heard it. Some people were frightened and kept stroking their chests.

Before the judge could speak, Mei Yi pointed at the statue of the goddess Amelia and said sternly: "If you have the guts, answer me in front of the goddess! Do all the people of Sombra City deserve to be killed?

, death means death! Are you trying to protect the privileges of the nobility, even at the cost of the most basic dignity and conscience!"

The seven judges at the table were so frightened by the angry crowd that they dared not speak.

Mei Yi sneered and said: "I really find it incredible that in order to defend a nobleman who has committed war crimes, killings, arson, and torture, you are not willing to openly defend the crime in front of the goddess. How long has it been? Please don't

Tell me, Philos hasn’t even been caught yet!”

A female judge wearing a spirit guide knocked her gavel hard and said: "The crimes you mentioned are based on the laws of your Sombra City. Unfortunately, the laws of Sombra City are inferior laws and have nothing to do with them.

It conflicts with the Kingdom’s Nobility Law and has no effect on the nobility.”

Mei Yi said in disgust: "You won't tell me that you are just going to sentence this kind of devil who killed more than 10,000 innocent people to a fief for life in accordance with the so-called "Noble Law", right?"

The tall male judge said forcefully: "The law is like this. Didn't you write it in your book? Everything must be done in accordance with the law! And you don't admit it when it falls on you?"

Mei Yi laughed and said: "You talk to me about law? The essence of law lies in fairness and justice. If we really want to govern the country according to law, there must be a unified set of laws that apply equally to nobles and civilians, rather than nobles using noble laws and civilians using

Civilian law. Just have some face, okay?"

"Why do you hate nobles so much?" a thin female judge asked in a bad tone.

"I have no hatred for nobles." Mei Yi said, "My dean Xilu is a noble. She has been teaching and educating people for nearly forty years and has cultivated countless talents for the kingdom. I respect her from the bottom of my heart. The owner of my right eye

Esther is a noble. She has conquered monsters many times and relieved the suffering of the border people in the Tianlu Mountains. I admire her from the bottom of my heart. My wife Qiluo is a noble. She was detained in Hualing for three years but she still insisted on being kind to others and saved me.

I saved her from the brink of starvation. I love her from the bottom of my heart. Lord Inquisitor, may I ask, Fithro, a devil with blood on his hands, what kind of noble is he? He just incarnates as a human and eats wantonly in the kingdom.

They are just human monsters! No, even monsters are not that vicious!"

The judges listened to the roar of the people outside the barrier and looked at each other in shock. They had never encountered such a tough criminal. When the previous criminals heard that they were going to undergo a joint trial, they were so frightened that they did not dare to speak.
