Chapter 228 Public Trial

Different methods should be used to treat different opponents.

If Luo Lan directly uses armed forces to suppress it, it will fall into a bad situation. Once the news spreads, it will have an extremely bad impact. Since officials in Wisconsin incite the people, Luo Lan will use his own way to cure him.

The cabinet members are very experienced in handling this kind of thing, and it was Pope Anna who took action himself, so they used all their strength.

In just twenty minutes, all senior officials in Wisconsin were arrested, and then the public trial began in front of the city government.

All the clergymen who were besieged returned to the city hall. Now, except for the Wisconsin officials and the investigative team at the entrance, the citizens were filled with citizens. The citizens looked at the scene in confusion, not understanding why all these officials who were usually tall and arrogant were tied to their chairs.

Some officials cursed, but were immediately silent and no one could hear what they said.

The process of the public trial meeting was simple and cruel. The first person to interrogate was Wisconsin Governor Scott. The torture wizard swore in front of everyone, and then used magic torture and lie detection at Scott.

The prosecutor of the investigation team took out a document and said: "His Excellency Scott, given that we have received a shocking report, we have held a public trial with the joint approval of the royal family, the cabinet and the nobles. We have the right to use magical torture against all whistleblowers. The interrogation process will not have to comply with the imperial decree. Please cooperate with us. My first question is, are you embezzling and accepting bribes?"

Scott is an honorary Count in his fifties, with silver hair, usually meticulous and elegant old man disappeared, and replaced by a gray-faced suspect.

Scott was definitely not comparable to ordinary people when he could sit at the throne of Wisconsin governor. When he saw a large number of familiar faces appearing in front of him, and his face was cold, he knew that he was finished. Only when he arrived in front of the city hall did he understand the reason for his arrest.

Scott was cunning and could not have been foolish enough to plan actions against the church, and he could not have been able to hide such a major event. However, he did not want to see the Church of God share his power, so he implied that he would not interfere in this matter, which was equivalent to letting those people go against the Church of God.

As a politician, Scott knew how to protect himself best, so he decided to take a gamble and said calmly: "I think you've made a mistake. I didn't participate in this matter. However, as the governor of Wisconsin, I reported that Wisconsin Mayor Jedira had a personal grudge with a clergy, and then threatened to buy the bribes of the city hall archives officer who had once received bribes, and asked the archivist's family to cooperate with the clergy of Luo Lan's cult, and ambush people in the crowd. At the same time, assassinated the clergy and ordinary citizens, forcing the culprit to withdraw from here. In addition, the archivist couple had only two sons, and the daughter who was under one year old was bought from a civilian area. The person in the neighborhood where the archivist was located could testify."

There was an uproar in the scene.

Public trials are rare, but most citizens present have seen trials. Magical torture and lie detection are not rare magic, and more than half of them have seen them.

After Governor Scott said this, the magic light on his body did not change color and did not look at all painful, which proved that what he said was true.

Who knew that the prosecutor general said in a deep voice: "We will file the situation you provide. After the public trial is over, the case will be filed again. However, our public trial has nothing to do with the matter you reported. I asked the second time whether you have embezzled and accepted bribes. If you do not answer, we will have the right to ask the Holy Masters of the Royal Mages Association to use the 'real confession technique'."

Scott's face suddenly turned pale, and he knew best what the truth-telling technique was. Because just twenty years ago, the nearby governor of Kale State was caught in a battle for the throne, and was eventually incited by the eldest prince with clever means, and his crimes just met the standard of using truth-telling technique.

Therefore, Governor Kalai made various shocking scandals in the Supreme Procuratorate of the Imperial Capital, not only corruption and bribery on weekdays, accepting subordinates' wives, but even admitting that 70% of female officials in Kara State had to go to his bed before they could be promoted.

This is not the biggest scandal. The biggest scandal is that he not only seduces outsiders, but also seduces his sister-in-law, and even lives with his daughter-in-law for three years.

At that time, Scott was just a middle-level official under the eldest prince, witnessing the chilling scene with his own eyes.

Scott's body trembled slightly, and finally said helplessly: "I confess my guilt, I confess my crime..."

So Scott began to count his crimes of embezzlement and bribery, but he still had a glimmer of luck in his heart, specifically choosing relatively light words, such as accepting bribes of several thousand gold carats, such as buying high-priced artworks at low prices, etc.

These crimes were only enough for him to lose his public office, but as long as he returned the stolen goods and paid another sum of money, he would not have to serve his sentence, because he was an honorary count for life and had certain immunity.

Every time Scott confessed a crime, he attracted loud curses from the citizens. The citizens hated officials' corruption more than anything else, and they ignored what had happened before.

"...I'm done." Scott looked up at the Attorney General. The citizens were excited, and many people kept cursing him, thinking that he still had hidden him.

"I'm done" does not mean "I only have these crimes." As a senior official, Scott is very clear about how to avoid magic.

The prosecutor seemed to have ignored this and said: "There was no lie detection and magic torture technique. The interrogation was completed and recorded. The interrogation results were announced within three days and taken away."

The two guards took Scott away. The former governor lowered his head, but was extremely excited: "They came for the right bet, as expected, they came for the affairs of the God Cult, otherwise the Attorney General would never let me go, but I cannot take it lightly. Everyone knows that Luo Lan is famous for being cruel and ruthless. Even the Sword Saint Mountain dares to destroy it. There is nothing he dares to save his life... By the way, believe in him and become his believer, he will never kill my great God Cult. I confess my sins and I pray for your forgiveness. If I can survive, I will donate half of my property to the God Cult."

So Luo Lan has another believer.

The prosecutor interrogated the second person, a lieutenant governor. This lieutenant governor was a typical playboy who relied on family forces to climb to this position and waited for death. Even after Luo Lan returned, his family stood firm and was the real descendant of the powerful.

The Attorney General asked as before: "Do you embezzle and take bribes?" Such an inquiry was not in compliance with the imperial decree, but no one was concerned at this time, and they were all staring at the notorious lieutenant governor in Wisconsin.

The Lieutenant Governor remained silent. Although he had no ability, he was not stupid, and was ready to fight with silence.

"I asked the second time, did you embezzle and accept bribes?"

The Lieutenant Governor still didn't speak.

The reason why the prosecutor let the governor go was because he understood the real reason why the pope called them, and the governor reported it directly, which made him unable to take action.

The prosecutor disliked the smart governor very much because he knew what Luo Lanshen needed, and even knew what the purpose of Pope Anna's request for public trial. If everyone confessed honestly like the governor, even if everyone was sentenced to death, he would not be considered as completing the task.

What Luo Lan Divine Cult wants is a sensational effect, everyone knows that what he wants is to shock all those who attempt to oppose the Divine Cult

The prosecutor general, his goal is to be the Minister of Justice, and he even wants to be the Prime Minister, but he does not have enough achievements and power, and everything is delusion.

As a member of the imperial cabinet, the prosecutor, who is second only to the prime minister and several ministers, showed the fangs that a high-ranking official had and immediately said: "Please ask the royal wizard to use the 'real confession technique'."

The lieutenant governor's face suddenly changed and he cursed: "Idiot, I don't think you want to be the prosecutor. I am an important member of the Duke Russell family. You are not qualified to use the truth to reveal the secrets I know. Once the secret I know is leaked, you will face the anger of the Duke Russell family. Please let them stop, otherwise you will lose your official position immediately..."

The Prosecutor showed a contemptuous smile on his face and thought to himself: "This idiot is like cooperating with me, the citizens around me, the people and nobles of the empire, I wish I could listen to those secrets."

The royal mage used the Holy Position Magic truth-telling technique without hesitation. The magical part is that as long as anyone asks a question, the recipient will answer in detail and even tell all the relevant matters...

The prosecutor said viciously: "As the prosecutor of the empire, I want to be loyal to the emperor and be responsible to the people. Since you threaten the prosecutor of the empire, I want to ask, do you know what secrets of the Duke Russell family?"

The Lieutenant Governor was frightened, but he could no longer control his body. He explained everything like a bamboo tube pouring beans.

"My grandfather, the current Duke of Russell, has never touched my grandmother. Our bloodline is a family line. Not only can't give birth, but also likes strong orcs..."

"I was able to sit in this position because my father spent a lot of money, and the aides and assistants assigned by my father completed the task well. In just three years, he recovered the cost of bribery."

"According to my guess, the Russell family once secretly helped the abdicated Emperor Adam the Great, and may even have participated in that believer massacre..."

...

The poor lieutenant governor was already crying, but his mouth was uncontrollable and he kept telling the secrets of the family.

Under the influence of the amplification magic, the voice of the Lieutenant Governor spread throughout the city of Wisconsin, and the Attorney General was secretly happy because now the result that Pope Anna wants is basically achieved, and what happened today will cause a sensation across the country.

The deputy governor finally couldn't stand this torture, and finally rolled his eyes and fainted.

The prosecutor general continued to interrogate, and the final result was surprising, because only three of the thirty-two officials interrogated did not constitute a crime, but even these three officials still had high hidden incomes.

During the trial, the prosecutor also deliberately asked more questions about the people who framed the clergy and let the truth be revealed.

The citizens were angry and kept taking out all kinds of vegetables and even stones to throw them at the suspect officials to vent their anger.

Luo Lan was watching from beginning to end. Seeing the result, he nodded. This completely met his request and wrote down the Attorney General.
