The trial?” Linley was startled.Thi

The trial?” Linley was startled.

This month, he had been absorbed in his bitter training. Linley had totally forgotten about everything else, including the Debs clan’s case. If it weren’t for Doehring Cowart’s reminder, Linley probably wouldn’t have remembered it at all.

“Yes, of course I’ll go.” A hint of a smile was on Linley’s face.

Year 9999 of the Yulan calendar. September 9th. Within the Blackwater Jail of Fenlai City.

The Blackwater Jail was the most famous jail in the Kingdom of Fenlai, and it was the most securely guarded jail. The cases awaiting trial at the Blackwater Jail were also the most important cases in Fenlai.

Within the Blackwater Jail’s courtyard, today there were many nobles congregating. Even his Majesty, King Clayde, had arrived, and was seated to the side, watching. Naturally, Linley came today as well.

“Lord Linley.” One noble after another greeted him warmly.

“Linley, come, sit with me.” Seated in front, Clayde gestured toward Linley. Linley smiled at Clayde, then walked over.

Linley sat down next to Clayde.

Merritt, his hair gleaming, sat at the judge’s seat. His waist and back were ramrod straight. He really did give the impression of being fair and impartial. “Everyone, please sit.” Merritt nodded and smiled towards the noble spectators who had gathered here. In particular, Merritt smiled modestly towards the direction of Linley and Clayde.

The noble spectators all sat down quietly. Today, more than ten people had come from the Debs clan. All of them were seated together, nervously watching the proceedings.

“Bring Bernard.” Merritt ordered directly.

Very soon, under escort by two soldiers, Bernard was dragged to the court, hands and feet both shackled.

Merritt glanced at a nearby official, who quickly strode forward. In a loud voice, he proclaimed, “Duke Patterson, when he was the Minister of Finance, acted in many ways against the benefit of the kingdom. In particular, he is suspected of colluding with the Debs clan in the smuggling of water jade. The scale of this smuggling operation is larger than any since the founding of our Kingdom of Fenlai. We have already discovered that the valuation of the smuggled water jade was greater than fifty million gold coins!”

In actuality, the Debs clan had just begun their smuggling program. Although the valuation was fifty million gold coins, in reality, the Debs clan had only spent a few million gold coins thus far. From this, one could tell what enormous profits lay in the smuggling trade.

But just as their smuggling activities had begun, Duke Patterson had died, resulting in this being revealed.

The official continued, “Based on our investigations, one of the main organizers of this smuggling activity jumped into the river, while the other two were the brothers Lanseer and Langmuir.”

Finishing, the official sat back down.

Merritt looked at Bernard. “Bernard, do you have something to say for yourself?”

Bernard nodded. “Yes, lord, I do. First of all, it was not our Debs clan which engaged in smuggling. Secondly, the Lanseer brothers had been expelled by our clan long ago. Thirdly, the primary mover behind this smuggling operation should’ve been that person you said jumped into the river. There is no link to our Debs clan at all.”

Merritt nodded and laughed. “The organizer of this smuggling operation was your third brother. And you say this has nothing to do with you?”

“Third brother? My third brother is still adventuring in the wilds. How would he have the chance to engage in smuggling?” Bernard continued to insist on this point.

“Your third brother is engaging in adventuring?” Merritt’s face grew cold. “Then let me ask you, if your third brother is outside adventuring, then why, despite me ordering your Debs clan to summon him back, hasn’t he returned after such a long period of time?”

Bernard said confidently, “My third brother is adventuring in other kingdoms. Most likely, he’s travelled too far. It is normal for us to need more than a year to find him.”

Merritt glanced at Bernard, chuckled, then said coldly, “Bring in Catson [Ka’te’sen] and the other two.”

“Catson?” Bernard was suspicious. Who was Catson and who were the other two?”

Very shortly, three very cowering youths entered the court, falling to their knees immediately as they said respectfully, “Greetings, Lord.”

These three youths clearly were peasants who had seen very little of the world before.

Merritt said calmly, “Catson, clearly explain what you saw happen.”

“Yes, Lord.” The leader of the youths said respectfully. “On June 28th, we three bros were fishing on the river, but suddenly, we saw a richly dressed noble lord clutching onto a dead tree trunk float by us. This noble was covered in blood and had already passed out.”

Upon hearing these words, the expression on Bernard’s face changed.

“The day that we pursued the leader of the smugglers was June 28th as well. As it just so happened, the leader jumped into the river.” Merritt looked at Bernard. “Bernard, are you willing to admit guilt yet?”

“My third brother is adventuring in distant lands. He definitely wasn’t organizing any smuggling activities. My Debs clan is definitely innocent.” Bernard still held his head up high and maintained his innocence.

Merritt laughed coldly, then said, “Bring Kanter [Kan’te] Debs.”

Hearing the name ‘Kanter Debs’, the faces of Bernard as well as the members of the Debs clan present all immediately turned white.

Sidang? "Linley terkejut. Bulan ini, ia telah diserap dalam pelatihan pahit. Linley benar-benar lupa tentang segala sesuatu yang lain, termasuk kasus Debs klan. Jika bukan untuk pengingat Doehring Cowart ini, Linley mungkin tidak akan ingat sama sekali. "Ya, tentu saja aku akan pergi." Sebuah sedikit senyum itu di wajah Linley ini. Tahun 9999 dari kalender Yulan. 9 September. Dalam Blackwater Penjara dari Fenlai City. The Blackwater Jail adalah penjara yang paling terkenal di Kerajaan Fenlai, dan itu adalah penjara yang paling aman dijaga. Kasus menunggu sidang di Penjara Blackwater juga kasus yang paling penting dalam Fenlai. Dalam halaman Blackwater Jail, hari ini ada banyak bangsawan berkumpul. Bahkan Mulia, Raja Clayde, telah tiba, dan duduk ke samping, menonton. Tentu, Linley datang hari ini juga. "Tuhan Linley." Satu mulia setelah disambut lain dengan hangat. "Linley, datang, duduk dengan saya." Duduk di depan, Clayde menunjuk ke arah Linley. Linley tersenyum Clayde, lalu berjalan. Linley duduk di samping Clayde. Merritt, rambutnya berkilau, duduk di kursi hakim. Pinggang dan punggungnya yang pelantak lurus. Dia benar-benar memberikan kesan yang adil dan tidak memihak. "Semua orang, silahkan duduk." Merritt mengangguk dan tersenyum ke arah penonton yang mulia yang telah berkumpul di sini. Secara khusus, Merritt tersenyum merendah menuju ke arah Linley dan Clayde. Para penonton yang mulia semua duduk dengan tenang. Hari ini, lebih dari sepuluh orang telah datang dari klan Debs. Semua dari mereka duduk bersama-sama, gugup menonton proses. "Bawa Bernard." Merritt dipesan langsung. Segera, di bawah pengawalan oleh dua tentara, Bernard diseret ke pengadilan, tangan dan kaki kedua dibelenggu. Merritt melirik seorang pejabat di dekatnya, yang dengan cepat melangkah maju. Dengan suara keras, ia menyatakan, "Duke Patterson, ketika ia adalah Menteri Keuangan, bertindak dalam banyak cara melawan kepentingan kerajaan. Secara khusus, ia diduga berkolusi dengan klan Debs di penyelundupan batu giok air. Skala operasi penyelundupan ini lebih besar daripada sejak berdirinya Kerajaan kami Fenlai. Kami telah menemukan bahwa valuasi giok air diselundupkan lebih besar dari lima puluh juta koin emas! "Pada kenyataannya, klan Debs baru saja dimulai Program penyelundupan mereka. Meskipun valuasi itu lima puluh juta koin emas, pada kenyataannya, klan Debs hanya menghabiskan beberapa juta koin emas sejauh ini. Dari ini, salah satu bisa mengatakan apa keuntungan besar berbaring dalam perdagangan penyelundupan. Tapi sama seperti kegiatan penyelundupan mereka mulai, Duke Patterson meninggal, sehingga ini yang terungkap. Pejabat itu melanjutkan, "Berdasarkan investigasi kami, salah satu penyelenggara utama kegiatan penyelundupan ini melompat ke sungai, sementara dua lainnya adalah saudara Lanseer dan Langmuir. "Finishing, pejabat itu kembali duduk. Merritt memandang Bernard. "Bernard, apakah Anda memiliki sesuatu untuk dikatakan untuk diri sendiri?" Bernard mengangguk. "Ya, tuan, saya lakukan. Pertama-tama, itu tidak klan Debs kami yang terlibat dalam penyelundupan. Kedua, saudara Lanseer telah diusir oleh klan kami lama. Ketiga, penggerak utama di balik operasi penyelundupan ini seharusnya sudah bahwa orang yang Anda mengatakan melompat ke sungai. Tidak ada link untuk klan Debs kami sama sekali. "Merritt mengangguk dan tertawa. "Penyelenggara operasi penyelundupan ini adalah saudara ketiga. Dan Anda mengatakan ini tidak ada hubungannya dengan Anda? "" Saudara Ketiga? Saudara ketiga saya masih bertualang di alam liar. Bagaimana dia akan memiliki kesempatan untuk terlibat dalam penyelundupan? "Bernard tetap bersikeras tentang hal ini." Saudara ketiga Anda terlibat dalam bertualang? "Wajah Merritt tumbuh dingin. "Kalau begitu saya bertanya, apakah saudara ketiga Anda adalah luar bertualang, lalu mengapa, meskipun saya memesan klan Debs Anda untuk memanggil dia kembali, dia belum kembali setelah suatu jangka waktu yang panjang?" Bernard mengatakan dengan yakin, "Saya ketiga saudara yang bertualang di kerajaan lainnya. Kemungkinan besar, dia melakukan perjalanan terlalu jauh. Hal yang biasa bagi kita membutuhkan lebih dari satu tahun untuk menemukan dia. "Merritt melirik Bernard, tertawa, kemudian berkata dingin," Bawa di Catson [Ka'te'sen] dan dua lainnya. "" Catson? "Bernard adalah mencurigakan. Siapa Catson dan yang dua lainnya? "Sangat lama, tiga pemuda yang sangat meringkuk masuk pengadilan, jatuh ke lutut mereka segera karena mereka berkata hormat," Salam, Tuhan. "Ketiga pemuda jelas adalah petani yang telah melihat sangat sedikit dunia sebelumnya. Merritt berkata dengan tenang, "Catson, jelas menjelaskan apa yang Anda lihat terjadi." "Ya, Tuhan." Pemimpin pemuda kata hormat. "Pada tanggal 28 Juni, kami tiga bros sedang memancing di sungai, tapi tiba-tiba, kami melihat tuan mulia berpakaian mewah memegangi mati batang pohon mengambang oleh kami. Mulia ini berlumuran darah dan sudah pingsan. "Setelah mendengar kata-kata ini, ekspresi wajah Bernard berubah." Hari itu kami mengejar pemimpin penyelundup adalah 28 Juni juga. Seperti itu hanya kebetulan, pemimpin melompat ke sungai. "Merritt memandang Bernard. "Bernard, apakah Anda bersedia mengakui bersalah belum?" "Saudara ketiga saya bertualang di negeri jauh. Dia pasti tidak mengorganisir kegiatan penyelundupan. Klan Debs saya pasti tidak bersalah. "Bernard masih dipegang kepalanya tinggi-tinggi dan berkeras dirinya tak bersalah. Merritt tertawa dingin, lalu berkata," Bawalah Kanter [Kan'te] Debs. "Mendengar nama 'Kanter Debs', wajah Bernard serta anggota klan Debs ini semua segera berubah menjadi putih.
