Chapter 349 The irrefutable evidence
Thanks to sufficient preparation and the Grand Tuner's own arrogance, Westhead captured Elavitt without any bloodshed.
Including his trusted forces, they were all wiped out in a very short time, and it was incredible that they could reach Westhead smoothly.
But if you think about it carefully, Westhead has the endorsement of the Queen of Wind Law. Not only does he naturally have the right to do so, but he also has taken over Leshia and the others. With these preparations in advance, it will be very easy to deal with the tuning group including Ilevitt.
Whether it is a head-on confrontation or a sneak attack, Westhead has an absolute chance of winning.
It was relatively easy to capture the Chief Tutor, and the next thing to do was to quickly calm the matter down.
First of all, we must strike hard at Ilevitt and his loyal confidants, but we cannot make enemies with all the tuners, as they are still the backbone of the royal court's extraordinary people.
Therefore, what is needed is a trial that complies with formal procedures. As long as the case is concluded and the majority of tuners recognize the authority of the Queen of Wind Law and the Central Royal Court, everything will be solved.
Otherwise, there might be a civil war of considerable scale, which is something the current royal court cannot afford, and Westhead will not allow such a thing to happen.
Therefore, for the next period of time, the Central Royal Court directly entered a state of martial law, and the court trial of Ilevitt was also being prepared in full swing.
Fortunately, before this, key positions had already been replaced by our own people, and the royal court organization operated very smoothly and efficiently. In just a few days, preparations for the trial were completed.
On that day, in the Supreme Court of the Central Royal Court, Knight Yonglan and other guards were patrolling the four directions, and all the royal court nobles who were attending the trial entered and took their seats in the spacious and bright courtroom.
This majestic and exquisite courtroom is large enough to accommodate a jury of thousands of people. The stepped structure clearly divides the levels of the courtroom. At the top is naturally the Lord of the Royal Court, Queen of Wind Eloreus.
Next to the elf loli is her fiancé, Prince Qinghui, an ally of the royal court, followed by the silver-haired princess and the wolf-eared girl, all of whom are equally important allies.
Further down are the Queen’s confidants such as Fatícia, who are the judges presiding over this trial.
Next came the jury and spectators sitting around.
The former high and mighty Chief Attorney was now standing at the bottom of the courtroom, at the defendant's seat. His hands and neck were restrained by extremely harsh restraints, and his ankles were fixed to the floor by a surgical technique, making him unable to move.
Even in this situation, the technique of sealing and tuning was still used, leaving no room for the opponent to fight back.
Ilevitt's cheeks were red and swollen, and there were injuries at the corners of his eyes. It was obvious that he had been severely tortured during his detention. If you had not seen it with your own eyes, it would be hard to imagine that a powerful official in the royal court who was so high and mighty that he could cover the sky with one hand would become a prisoner and be so embarrassed and awkward.
"Your Excellency the Grand Tutor actually..."
"Your Majesty, have you finally lost your patience?"
"It's time to punish him. That guy, Elevit, has been like that for more than a hundred years. After Your Majesty ascended the throne, he completely stopped acting and became so arrogant that it made people sick."
"Indeed, he has finally fallen. He has actually bullied the King of Wind Law."
"."
"Silence! Silence!"
"Boom boom boom——"
With the sound of heavy clapping of the table, a judge of the Emerald King looked around and then looked at Eloleus.
The elf loli sitting on the highest throne raised her chin and waved silently.
Then the judge turned around and said loudly:
"Everyone, the trial of former Grand Tutor Elevit Jade has officially begun!"
"The crimes committed by the defendant include but are not limited to deceiving the emperor, forming a clique for personal gain, blaspheming the ancestors, plotting rebellion, corruption and extravagance, etc., which have seriously violated the laws of the Thousand Laws Royal Court and the Land of Laws. All of Ilevit Emerald and his followers are arrested."
"Today we will try the main culprit to set things straight!"
"First, they illegally seized a large amount of the royal court's property!"
"After becoming the Grand Tuner, Ilevitt colluded with the court executive and used his power to "hard demand" and "instruct trial production" to seize a large number of magical light industrial products such as large magic video recorders, Changlu brand high-end music boxes, high-end crossbows, high-end watches, mithril armor, perpetual energy magic cores, high-end cigarettes, fruit wine, candy, etc."
"Take food for example, 35 cartons of premium lavender cigarettes, 60 boxes of liqueur chocolates, and more than 20 bottles of canned fruit were taken at one time."
"Here is a more detailed investigation report, you can take a look."
As Ilevitt's crimes were announced, documents were passed around.
Among them, all the crimes of the Grand Tutor were listed in great detail, the most important of course being the crimes of treason and blasphemy. Everyone in the royal court had witnessed how arbitrary and domineering Ilevitt had been in the past, although strictly speaking this was not a big deal according to the law.
But some things are nothing if they are not weighed, but once they are weighed, they weigh thousands of pounds.
If the Queen of Wind Tuning felt that her authority was offended, it is understandable that she would strike hard at the Grand Tuner.
It is better to say that the struggle for power has always been like this. In the eyes of outsiders, even if what Ilevitt did in the past was not treason, it was almost the same.
No decent monarch can tolerate such humiliation. Sleeping on straw and tasting gall, lying in wait for an attack, can be considered a good story of harmony between the monarch and his subjects.
While secretly sighing, everyone browsed the documents, and then their expressions became a little tense.
Because when it comes to other charges, the rigor of the document declines by more than one level.
Many "crimes" that were heard from others or even made up for no reason were listed in a serious manner:
[The daily extravagance of Grand Tuner Elivitt:
1. Food expenses (including kitchen waste): 9207 Royal Court Coins
2. Water and electricity usage (calculated for a whole day): 1133.62 Royal Court Coins
3. Advanced magic potion (calculated as 500ml): 5295.60 Royal Court Coins
4. Loss of precious metals (calculated based on 15 kg): 525 Royal Court coins
5. Lvyinyinwen (20 pieces): 5841 Royal Court Coins
6. Commuting expenses: 660 Royal Court Coins
7. Private rewards and rewards: 1000 Wangting coins
Total: 23662.22 Royal Court Coins
Extravagance is beyond description! The evidence is irrefutable! Are these things used to prove the guilt of the Grand Tutor?
Isn't it a bit far-fetched? With such expenses, which noble with ancient heritage in the royal court can't do it? Not to mention that Ilevite's status is quite noble even among the elven royal family.
What's wrong with being a little extravagant? It's not the royal treasury that's being spent. Oh, does it seem like they're really putting the treasury deficit on him just to clear up the crime? That's fine.
However, no one knew the hardships of the investigation team. In just a few days, the investigation team almost turned into a tunnel boring machine.
But even if you dig deep into the ground, the only crimes that can be mentioned about Ilevitt are usurpation of power and forming cliques for personal gain. There are really no problems in other aspects. Even if you want to find minor problems such as corruption and bribery, there is no such thing.
But this does not mean that Ilevitt is innocent. During the years when he was in charge of the royal court, he offended too many people. Even though everything he did had legal basis, the so-called laws and regulations could not quell people's resentment.
In the extremely dirty political struggle, victory or defeat is everything, no matter whether you have done it or not, or whether you are innocent or not.
If I say it is irrefutable evidence, then it is irrefutable evidence!
The judge in the court read out the evidence and saw the gloomy and contemptuous expression on the face of the tall elf below. He slammed the table and shouted:
"Defendant Elivitt, listen to me!"
Elivitt looked up. "I'm listening!"
"The Central Royal Court has accused you of crimes against the God Ancestor. Do you have anything to say or to defend yourself?"
Ilevitt sneered, "That's possible. You said a lot of facts, but you are just picking bones from eggs. You said it was blasphemy against the ancestors. I only knew it after you said it. You vilified me, the Great Tuner, and the contributions made by thousands of tuners in the past! I was the prime minister of the former King of Wind Tuning. I have been loyal to him for more than two hundred years. We have shared hardships! When the demons emerged, I was the only high-ranking official of the royal court who stayed on the front line. Where were you all?"
"This court has given you a full statement and defense."
"Sufficient?"
"We asked you repeatedly in Fenglu Palace last time, but you didn't say anything? This court gave you enough time to make a statement and defend yourself, but you avoided the crime that the royal court accused you of, and instead used the moment of debate to make a statement against the God Ancestor."
Ilevitt gritted his teeth and said, "You are the ones who are against the God Ancestor!"
Faced with the roar of the former Grand Attorney, even the selected judges who were opponents who were very dissatisfied with the Grand Attorney could not help but be intimidated.
They looked at the Queen of Wind on the platform. Elorius nodded calmly. Taking this as recognition and encouragement, the judges cheered up and shouted to the prisoners:
"How dare you! Your accomplices have confessed all your crimes, and the evidence is irrefutable! Do you still want to confuse right and wrong?"
As he said that, he brought up the confession materials of other adjusters. Wow, each of them was a heavyweight and dared to confess anything. If you just look at these confession materials, Elevit would almost become Sun Xiaochuan.
However, in the face of such accusations, Elevit just rolled his eyes and said:
"How many false confessions have you extracted through torture? This is ridiculous. I can accept all the punishments and trials as atonement for my past actions, but you can fight for power and profit, but I will never accept the despicable charges!"
"I am loyal to the God Ancestor! I am loyal to the God Ancestor! I am loyal to the God Ancestor!!!"
Emphasizing his will, wherever Elvitt's eyes went, people avoided him. In the huge courtroom, people were forced to retreat by the gaze of a prisoner.
The influence of the Grand Tuner remains after more than two hundred years.
"You are loyal to the God Ancestor, but you don't even respect the person who represents the God Ancestor's will?"
At this moment, Airolus finally spoke. Queen Wind stood up, looked down at Ilevitt, and said slowly:
"Rather than being loyal to the God Ancestor, it's better to say that you are loyal to yourself. You wish you were the only messenger who could represent the God Ancestor. Can you be called loyal with such behavior?"
"His Majesty."
Upon hearing this, Elevit's pupils trembled and his lips twitched slightly, but he didn't know how to refute.
He seemed to really think so, even though he had never had such thoughts before. But when he recalled his actions carefully, the chief tuner could not find a word to excuse himself.
He wanted to risk his life to warn Elorlus to be careful of Lord Qinghui's intentions, but looking at the elf loli's extremely firm eyes that were like burning fire, all the voices of desperate advice were swallowed back.
Elevit seemed to have his spine pulled out, and he hung his head in grief.
As a result, the subsequent trial seemed much easier. The court was also afraid that things would get more complicated if the trial went on for too long, so it went through all the procedures quickly until it came to how to make a verdict.
And only Queen Fenglu is qualified to make this judgment.
Airolius and Westhead looked at each other, and the latter nodded to the elf Loli:
"Just do as we agreed."
Should we execute Elivitt?
Westhead and Eloleus disagreed on this point, but the latter wanted to kill the Grand Tuner, while the former wanted to spare his life.
Westhead is still kind and tolerant after all. Although he is ruthless and cruel to his enemies, he does not kill anyone he sees. He imprisoned Elivitt. As long as the matter is done, he is not important at all. After breaking through the demigod level, Westhead has plenty of time to show his martial virtues.
But Eloleus hated Eloise to the core, not because the other party had committed crimes of usurpation and offense, or did not take her dignity seriously, but simply because Eloise had obstructed her relationship with Westhead.
That's all. Don't underestimate the importance that the elf loli takes this matter. For the first time in her life, she has cherished feelings. Eroleus, who has fallen in love, will hate anyone who tries to separate them.
Unfortunately, Elivitt became the first target of Queen Fenglu's hatred.
"Former Grand Attorney Elevit Jade, based on your crime, this court sentences you to one hundred years in prison!"
Ilevitt also holds the passwords to almost all nodes of the Royal Court. He cannot be easily executed before prying these encrypted runes out of his mouth. Besides, he has been the Grand Tutor for more than two hundred years. Although he has very low emotional intelligence and few people like him, no one in the Royal Court can deny his achievements.
Everyone can understand Eroleus's behavior of taking back power, but killing all the meritorious officials for this purpose is disheartening. Depriving them of their rights and then imprisoning them is already a relatively severe punishment.
"I hope that Elevit can voluntarily give up his authority, otherwise he will inevitably suffer."
After the court was dispersed, Westhead could not help but sigh:
"If possible, I really don't want to get an injection. What's the matter?"
After lamenting that he wanted to be a bad guy, Westhead immediately became excited.
The end of Ilevit means that no one in the Thousand Laws Royal Court can restrict himself anymore, and the Thousand Laws Ceremony will also reveal all its mysteries to him!
