Black Iron Crown

"That's enough! Calm down! The baron must have his own considerations, so let's not make trouble for him!" The man beside him seemed very calm, and shook his shoulders twice, killing him. Grab it firmly, and then persuade.

Hearing this, this young member of the Moreland family still sulked here, but his behavior became less aggressive.

He was angry for no reason, and everyone in the Merland family looked at Vippin who was tied up, and they were all filled with righteous indignation.

As members of the Merland family, they are very proud of their bloodline. After all, their ancestors were once princes, and they are inextricably linked with the royal family. Compared with these untouchables, they are so noble.

Although things like bullying men and women are not common, it is not unheard of. The old baron thinks that these people are the main force supporting his rule, and he really values ​​them, so he doesn't care too much about them.

This further fueled the arrogance of this group of people, and now they were arrested for overcharging the residents for some food. This was not only an insult to their dignity, but also a damage to their interests.

They didn't understand what Leiner did. They didn't embezzle any tax that should have been handed to Leiner. They just made the residents pay an extra tax. Why was the Baron so angry.

"Now, under the command of Lord Baron, the organization led by Lord Rogo, the Hand of the Night, has filed a lawsuit against you, Viplin Merland, accusing you of embezzling a total of 895 kilograms of food from the residents. Do you admit it?" Secretary The officer held a file in his hand, looked at the document on it, read it aloud, and asked Vippin whether it was true.

"I..." Viplin had never seen such a battle before, with so many people watching here, he was already too scared to speak.

"What is the baron doing? This is a member of his family! Could it be that my lord really wants to..." A knight leaned his body and quietly discussed with his colleagues beside him.

"Who knows? But it doesn't seem to have much to do with us, as long as the baron continues to be the same!" The knight seemed not very interested in this matter, shrugged and said indifferently to the previous knight, and then He continued to lower his head to play with the spoils he got from the Babsburg battlefield in his hand, an exquisite dagger.

"Let's wait and see, Lord Baron is a wise monarch. He will not accept the criminal just because he is his relative. He will do everything possible to strengthen the strength of the territory. What we need to do is to follow the Lord's lead." Fight the enemy bravely for him behind him and make great achievements!" Another knight interjected, and he looked at Reiner sitting at the top with a smile on his face. He was very satisfied with the current situation, although a lot of miscellaneous taxes were abolished, But the income did not fall but increased.

Anyway, most of these knights still followed Reiner's thoughts.

Make meritorious deeds, get promoted and make a fortune.

Reiner couldn't hear the whispers below, and he still looked at the flustered Viplin without changing his expression.

He straightened his body, and was just about to defend himself, but suddenly a gleam of coldness flashed through the originally calm eyes of the baron, and his eyes turned unkind to himself.

Everything that Reiner said on the slightly crude high platform was clearly seen, and Weippling's intention to defend himself also fell into his eyes.

After intimidating him with his gaze, sure enough, he honestly didn't move a bit.

Everyone was watching him, members of the Moreland family, the young man who stood up and scolded the villagers before, the knights, Sir Codd and others, as well as the villagers present all held their breaths and focused their gazes on On Viplin's body, waiting for his answer.

His lips trembled slightly, and he said his answer under the eyes of everyone: "I...I admit...I did..."

"Wow..."

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar at the scene, and the noisy voices could be heard endlessly. The residents of Osas Village accused him of crimes loudly, while the residents of other places talked about it.

Reiner saw their demeanor and behavior clearly on the above, and he couldn't help feeling a little disgusted in his heart.

And the members of the Moreland family frowned and looked at the noisy residents coldly. In their opinion, this kind of thing is really not a big deal. Such a trivial matter will cause such a big disturbance?

"So what? Don't the descendants of Moreland even take a little food from the untouchables? They live under the protection of us!" The impulsive young member of Moreland gritted his teeth and looked at those people with dirty mouths. Obscenities, growled in a low voice at the residents of Vippin who criticized them.

At the same time, even the knights who participated in this trial were a little unhappy: "Is this group of people going too far? Are relatives of the Baron, members of the Moreland family, and people with noble surnames allowed to let them Was it insulting at will?"

Originally, most of them didn't care about how to deal with this matter, but after seeing the foul language from the residents, they immediately felt disgusted.

Reiner was keenly aware of this, and the sight of the knights looking at the residents with disgust had fallen into his eyes, and he had also seen the angry expressions of the members of the Moreland family.

Human nature is indeed ugly. No wonder the emperors and kings of the Ridka Continent have relied on nobles to govern their territories no matter how good they are.

Not only because knowledge, culture, and military force are all monopolized by the nobles, but also because these low-level residents are really a bunch of idiots who cannot be supported. Although I have arrested Viplin, it does not mean that his Behavior is wrong.

If he hadn't wanted to express his opinion at this time, Reiner would never have done so.

Seeing Reiner frowning, the clerk below thought that the baron was bored by the noisy atmosphere, and immediately lowered his hands again, shouting loudly: "Quiet! Quiet!"

But the voice of the crowd is really too loud, how can the voice of a single clerk be louder than thousands of people? It was like throwing a stone into the sea without causing a wave.

"Beep! Beep! Beep!" A brass horn sounded, and under the signal from Reiner's eyes, the trumpeter puffed up his cheeks and blushed, starting this task that tested his lung vitality.

The loud trumpet sounded, and the noisy venue fell silent again. At the same time, Reiner stood up from the chair, drew out the saber at his waist, walked to the table, and put the tip of the sword on the ground, like a Like a noble lion, he appeared in front of everyone with his head held high.

In an instant, the entire venue became audible. People held their breaths and concentrated on controlling the volume, and even the sound of breathing could be ignored, for fear of missing this important moment.

At this moment, everyone present turned their gazes to Leiner, and even the knights in the jury, members of the Moreland family, and the squires stretched their necks, waiting for him to announce the final result of the trial.
