Chapter 362: Defending Innocence
"According to the Pope's order, come and detain the suspect!"
This shout directly pulled Jiang Chen's thoughts back.
Similarly, the other people in the courtyard also looked serious.
"The people from the Holy See are here!"
Emiya pondered for a moment, first glanced at Jiang Chen, and then shouted loudly: "Who is making noise outside!"
"The captain of the first team of the Religious Judgment Hall, the Knight of the Hall, Richard, has been ordered to detain the suspect!"
An extremely tough voice sounded outside the courtyard, and although it was far away, it was still loud.
"It turned out to be him...Charlie, the Shield of Light!"
Emiya's tone was a little surprised, and he pondered: "The Holy See sent him directly here, it seems that he is coming with great force!"
"Is this person very famous? Why haven't I heard of him?"
Kang Lushan, who was sitting in the pavilion, asked.
"King of Zhenxi, you have been in the marginal land for a long time and rarely return to the imperial city. It is normal that you have not heard of him."
Emiya briefly described: "This person has only become famous in recent years. It is said that he has comprehended the mystery of the shield and is called the Shield of Light and Absolute Defense. He has suppressed many pagans and has never failed. He is considered a rising star."
"It seems that the Holy See has also produced talents in recent years. I thought it was still those old guys!"
Kang Lushan muttered in a low voice, various thoughts flashed in his eyes, and then asked: "Can you deal with it?"
"Yes!"
Emiya nodded, and then shouted in a loud voice: "Charid, this is my command house, where is the suspect? Don't talk nonsense here!"
"Emiya Command Leader!"
Outside the courtyard, Richard's voice was obviously a little colder: "What do you mean, are you going to shield the suspect? !"
"There is no suspect, how can you shield him?"
Wei Gong paused, and then said: "Moreover, even if there are any lawless people, it is not the turn of the Church to manage it, right? !"
"It is not the turn of the Church to manage it?"
Charid snorted coldly and said loudly: "Whether it is a cultist or someone who wants to harm the Church of Light, it is under the jurisdiction of the Church!"
"More than a hundred years ago, the palace promised the right of trial in order to make the Church of Light spare no effort to attack the Church of Darkness. You enjoyed the benefits at that time, but now you don't want to recognize it?"
Charid's words also made Jiang Chen seem to understand something.
It turned out that the war of light and darkness that broke out more than a hundred years ago was instigated by the palace!?
Even the so-called right of trial was given to the Church of Light, which was equivalent to giving the Church of Light the power to go to war with the Church of Darkness.
In ancient China, this was equivalent to a separatist force.
Jiang Chen could probably guess what the decision-makers in the palace were thinking at the time. They wanted to drive the wolf to devour the tiger, but they didn't expect that the tiger was killed, but the wolf... had become more terrifying than the tiger!
Driving the wolf to devour the tiger ended up inviting the wolf into the house!
"Those who play with fire will get burned!"
This old saying popped up in Jiang Chen's mind.
At this time, Wei Gong's face also obviously became a little worse.
He took a deep breath and said loudly: "The power of the Holy See of Light is limited to dealing with heretics and those who want to harm the Holy See. What evidence do you have that I have such people here?"
"Commander Emiya, Commander Emiya, do you really think we would come here without evidence?"
Charid sneered as if he had heard a joke: "Haven't you heard of the fate card? When a person dies, his soul returns. It just so happens that this deceased person from the Holy See has a fate card. What happened to him before he died? Just ask his residual soul and you will know!"
"Moreover, we have already detected the remaining breath of the perpetrator at the scene. Hand over Luo Lengxing, Clauren and Luo Lin!"
Charid's voice became stronger and stronger, and in the end he directly pointed out the names!
"We can't just listen to your one-sided words. We haven't investigated this matter yet."
Emiya responded with an unchanged expression.
"Don't delay here, it's meaningless!"
Charid issued an ultimatum: "Finally, this is the Pope's order. If you don't hand over the person, don't blame us for breaking into your Commander's Mansion today!"
"You dare!"
Emiya was furious, "If you break in without permission, it will be considered as a war!"
At this time, everyone felt the tense atmosphere.
Jiang Chen stared at the door, he felt that the people of the Holy See of Light would rush in at any time!
At this moment.
"War?"
A slightly peaceful voice suddenly sounded: "Commander-in-chief Emiya, are you saying this on behalf of the palace?"
"Who?"
Emiya's face changed slightly.
"Benedict!"
Although the voice outside the courtyard gate was peaceful, everyone present couldn't help but shrink their pupils when the name came out.
"Benedict is here!"
Jiang Chen was also secretly shocked.
"It turned out to be Archbishop Benedict. I didn't expect that even you would come in person for such a small matter!"
Emiya's expression was more cautious than ever before.
It can be seen that he is very afraid of the other party!
"We have known each other for so long, Commander Emiya, are you going to let me stand outside like this?"
Benedict's words were soft but firm, seemingly peaceful, but always revealed a hint of rejection.
Emiya was about to speak.
"I'll do it."
Kang Lushan raised his hand to stop him.
Immediately, he got up from the stone chair and strode to the gate.
Creaky!
The gate opened wide.
Jiang Chen also took a few quick steps and leaned against the wall to prevent the other party from seeing him.
Kang Lushan stood at the door and did not go out.
Benedict also stood in front of the door and did not come in.
The two looked at each other.
"Your Excellency?"
Benedict's voice sounded, with a hint of thought in his eyes.
"Bishop Benedict, you can call me the King of Zhenxi!"
There was a hint of pride in Kang Lushan's tone.
"King of Zhenxi?"
A strange look flashed in Benedict's eyes, and he looked at Kang Lushan: "Are you the King of Zhenxi?"
"Yes, I am the 344th King of Zhenxi, Kang Lushan!"
Kang Lushan stood with his head held high, looking extraordinary.
"Long admire!"
Benedict smiled and said politely, but there was not much awe on his face, "I heard that the kings of the four towns never asked him about his affairs. Is the king of the west town going to get involved in this matter? Luo Lengxing and others are committing crimes. A serious crime!"
"After all, you are half a family member, so you have to protect me, right?"
Kang Lushan stared at the other party closely, wanting to put pressure on him.
"I'm afraid not."
Benedict shook his head slightly, with a calm expression: "Today's perpetrator must be taken to the Judgment Hall for interrogation no matter what. Even if the person in the palace is here, I will say the same thing!"
"Is the Holy See so domineering now?"
A trace of anger appeared on Benedict's face: "If a person is taken to the Judgment Hall for interrogation by you, what chance is left for him to survive? If he wants to be interrogated, then interrogate him here!"
"Interrogation here? Absolutely impossible."
Benedict shook his head, and then said: "Everyone take a step back and find a place to interrogate at the north-south boundary of the city. This is to give you the face of King Zhenxi. Don't make the situation embarrassing."
This is his last concession, and the meaning is very obvious. If he gives you face, then continue, otherwise it will be ugly.
Hearing this, King Zhenxi also frowned and became silent.
After a few seconds, he slowly nodded: "Then interrogate at the north-south border!"
"take away!"
After saying that, Benedict turned around and left here without looking back.
Next to him, a young man holding a golden sun buckler crossed the threshold and was about to come in.
"No need to come in, I'll go with you."
Luo Lengxing's voice sounded.
He, along with Lauren and Rowling beside him, walked out of the yard.
The moment he walked out, he glanced at Jiang Chen.
The latter nodded slightly.
Soon, the group of people disappeared in front of the yard.
"Your Excellency Fanchen!"
Luo Lianyue held up her skirt and trotted to Jiang Chen with a panicked expression.
"Don't worry."
Jiang Chen waved his hand calmly.
"But the person has been taken away!"
Luo Lianyue looked helpless.
At this time, Kang Lushan also came over. He looked at Jiang Chen and said, "We can only delay this for so long. There will still be some time for the interrogation. You have to go to the church as soon as possible to find someone to lobby!"
"Yes, Your Excellency Fanchen, I have to ask you to find a solution!"
Emiya's voice sounded anxious.
"Since the interrogation is next, there must be a defense. Let's go to the interrogation location first."
Jiang Chen raised his hand and motioned for everyone to come over.
"But what's the use of defending? It can only delay for some time, but won't you still have to be convicted in the end?"
Emiya was a little confused.
"Fan Chen, I beg you..."
Luo Lianyue's beautiful face was full of sorrow, and her originally gentle and clear voice had a hint of crying.
"Go ahead and participate in the interrogation."
Jiang Chen said calmly: "Listen to me in everything from now on, maybe I will defend their innocence!"
He had already thought of how to deal with it.
Something like that in the backpack might have the effect of turning things around!
