Heroes of Silver Moon - Chapter 751: : Significance of the new law

Mike hurried over and put a dossier in front of Simon: “Your Majesty, you need to see this case yourself!”

Simon opened the file, glanced at it roughly, and then threw it on the table angrily: “It’s ridiculous! An ordinary self-defense case, even if the county court and the national court can’t make a judgment, it has to be reported to the king for handling. What the **** does the department do!”

Mike waited for Simon to calm down before continuing to speak: “Although the case is simple, the murderer is a nobleman and the victim is a commoner. Now this matter is causing a lot of trouble. Many civilians protested and demanded that the murderer be severely punished!”

The veins on Simon’s forehead bulged, he smashed the desk with a fist, and said through gritted teeth: “First, she is a defender, not a murderer;

Second, the defender’s husband is the noble with the title, she is not!

Third, what about civilian protests? Do I still need to give them privileges? ! ”

Mike was sweating coldly. He always felt that the recent king was getting more and more irritable.

When Simon regained his composure, Mike said, “It’s not just the civilians protesting and marching. Recently, many nobles have also asked me about this case. I think this case should be handled carefully, otherwise it will easily cause confrontation between the common people and the nobles.”

Simon narrowed his eyes slightly, thought calmly, and then said with a cold face: “Two questions.

First, the defender is a noble lady. It stands to reason that Cai Hu’s income is enough for the family to live on. Why would she go to the administrative office to work? !

Second, why did such an ordinary self-defense case ferment so quickly? Who is behind the scenes? ! ”

Mike’s face gradually became serious: “You mean, there are nobles playing tricks behind their backs?!”

Simon snorted coldly, and said in a bad tone: “Is it just nobles?

Let me ask you, if there is a group of people who have noble wealth, noble power, and noble influence, but do not have noble titles, can they be called nobles? ! ”

Mike frowned. He didn’t understand what Simon meant. Isn’t the king enacting new laws just to target nobles?

Also, who are the nobles without titles?

Simon looked at Mike deeply, as if he could see his thoughts and doubts: “I have never enacted new laws only for nobles, but to restrain all those in power.

Go ahead, our enemies don’t just live in the aristocratic area, some of them hide among the common people and call themselves commoners, but I know that they are also people who hold power to the letter! ”

Mike left with a vague understanding. In the empty study room, Simon closed his eyes and listened carefully. The sound of people protesting and marching came to his ears sentence by sentence.

[Can nobles get away with killing people? ! Severely punish the murderer! 】

[The life of the nobles is life, but the life of us civilians is not life? ! Severely punish the murderer! 】

[The court must make a fair judgment, and the king must give us justice! 】

Opening his eyes, Simon sighed helplessly: “People, you are really so stupid and easy to be incited. What you think are reasonable demands are ruthlessly trampling on the new law! The biggest enemy of the people is actually hiding beside you !”

The new law he enacted is not only for the nobles to abide by, but also for everyone in the Silver Moon Kingdom. Justifiable defense is justifiable self-defense. Where did the murderer come from?

Under the new law, no one can have class privileges, and no one can force him, the king, to take sides!

…

The dilapidated knight’s manor was surrounded by people abusing and protesting. The arrival of a group of young officers opened the door to the manor, which had been closed during these days, for them.

“Brother!” After a group of young officers entered the manor, a sad girl ran over and hugged the leading young officer.

“Liz, my sister!” Corriv immediately comforted her, and introduced her to his companions.

After introducing each other, Corriv asked solemnly, “Where’s father?”

Liz replied with a bit of bitterness: “He’s waiting for you inside the house!”

Coriff nodded slightly, and led a group of companions into the home that he hadn’t returned for a long time. When he looked up, he saw his father with a stern face, standing on the top of the stairs and looking down on them.

Winston looked calm and calm, quietly looking at the second son below, as if he was not affected by his wife’s arrest at all.

And the white-washed aristocratic dress on his body seemed to be protecting the last face of this country knight.

The two looked at each other for a moment, and finally Corriv lowered his head: “Father!”

The old-fashioned Winston nodded slightly: “It’s good to come back, I’m not feeling well, please entertain these friends of yours for me.”

After finishing speaking, the country knight limped back to the room leaning on his cane, showing no weakness from beginning to end.

Cliff quietly watched his father’s back, moved his lips, but was still unable to speak.

Be a nobleman, a man, a knight! He actually needed his wife to go out to support the family, and let his wife suffer such humiliation.

For an old-fashioned father, this is an unimaginable shame!

Coriff knew very well that if it wasn’t for him and his sister, his father would never have chosen to remain silent, and would have dealt with this matter in a more radical way.

Looking at the few friends he met in the army, Colliff smiled and said, “Sorry, you have also seen that my father is inconvenient, so let me show you around!”

“You boy, why are you being polite to us!”

“Yes, yes, this time we are here to support you!”

The words of several companions moved Corriv deeply, and then he gave a wry smile, and led a few people to visit the room.

First introduce the family history, then the glorious deeds of the ancestors, and finally visit the collection.

“Hey, is this the Medal of Saint Yelene!!” Looking at the inconspicuous medal on the knight’s plate armor, several young officers suddenly exclaimed.

This is a medal specially awarded by the king to commemorate and commend the Battle of Yelin River ten years ago, but all soldiers who participated in the Battle of Yelin River will be reissued medals, about 50,000.

Although this medal, UU Reading www. uukanshu.com is not so important and rare, but when the Yelinhe battle was won, there were only about 20,000 soldiers surviving.

Coupled with the subsequent three wars of defending the country, reunification, and independence, there are very few soldiers who can hold this medal and survive to this day.

And judging from the time, the medal hung on the knight’s plate armor obviously belonged to Coriff’s father, Knight Winston!

“Your father participated in the Battle of Yelin River?! Why have you never heard of it?!” The faces of the few were shocked and curious. Knowing about this epic battle ten years ago is the dream of every soldier.

Coriff smiled wryly, and replied helplessly: “My father doesn’t like to mention this matter, and he doesn’t let us spread it everywhere.”

“Why?” The others were full of doubts.

Following the king to participate in an epic battle, for a knight, this should be a great honor, if it were someone else, I am afraid that it would have been bragging everywhere.

Why did he deliberately downplay and forget about Winston Knight?

Talking about this matter, Corlife showed some bitterness, and sighed: “In that battle, my brother died in battle, and my father also injured a leg. This is also the reason why my father is unwilling to recall it.”

As if to prove what he said, Cliff took out a small box from a drawer, and there was another Order of St. Yelein in it.

Looking at the medal, the others fell into silence.

Although the owner of the medal on the knight’s plate armor has a lame leg, at least his life is still alive, but the owner of this medal has died in battle forever.

Several young officers mourned in silence for a while. Liz, who had met once before, suddenly ran over in a panic: “Brother, those policemen are here again!”
