    The second floor of the Parliament Palace, the Arbitration Hall.

    The function of this arbitration hall is very simple. It is not used to judge the most vicious people, but to judge officials, or to judge the upper officials of the empire.

    The arbitration hall, which has not been used for a full month, is still clean and tidy. The thick curtains are drawn tightly, the crystal lamp in the center of the ceiling is lit, and a well-dressed official whispers to each other. The arbitration has not yet started.

    The innermost side of the arbitration hall is a taller judge's table with some documents placed on it. There is no one behind the judge's table, and on the back of the chair, there is a pattern of crossed swords.

    There is an open space in front of the judge's desk. The clean marble floor is spotless. Right in the center of the arbitration hall, there is a special wooden chair surrounded by iron bars. Obviously, this is the 'special seat' for the adjudicated. No one thinks  sit here.

    The 'private seats' are opposite to the judge's table, and on the left and right sides of the special seats, near the wall, there are two rows of wooden tables.  It is conservatively estimated that the average age is over 50 years old. They look serious, and some take a nap with their eyes closed.

    Behind the 'special seats', there are several rows of seats, and this place is almost full of people. Mrs. Nancy is sitting in the first row, she is a little restless, Gus, Hank, and Reinhardt  Sitting in the back row, Old Hank was muttering something at this moment, looking at the people sitting behind the bar-shaped wooden table from time to time, these are all members of parliament, except for the monarch, they will be the highest rulers of the empire when they gather, the premise  It is they who dare to assemble.

    The door next to the judge's table was pushed open, and everyone in the room stood up one after another, bowing their heads while pressing their right hands on their chests.

    The monarch Harold's pace was not fast. He sat behind the judge's table and took a sip from the teacup on it.

    "Let's all sit down."

    As soon as Harold finished speaking, the congressmen and observers sat down one after another. The expressions of the congressmen were quite natural, but most of the observers were a little nervous. Harold just sat there and put a lot of pressure on them.

    Gus took the opportunity to look at Harold. Unexpectedly, Harold's gaze happened to be looking at this side. Gus immediately tensed up. He had never been so nervous when fighting with ghosts.

    "Idiot, bow your head."

    Bonnie's voice came, and she poked Gus's waist hard with her finger. Gus is whoever he is, but he is the flat-headed brother among the awakened, so he grinned at Harold and stayed as long as he wanted  , and finally nodded.

    Harold glanced at Gus with great interest. He didn't care about Gus's rude behavior, but raised his hand to pick up the documents on the table.  , Harold felt uncomfortable. This young man, who was about the same age as his eldest son, had become inhuman because of the battle with the ghost.

    But judging from the monarch's point of view, people like Gus must exist, and they must be handled properly after use to keep them away from densely populated areas. If the risk is too high, they should be dealt with secretly.

    "Cough."

    Harold cleared his throat, and the whispers in the arbitration hall disappeared. There are four important figures in today's arbitration, Monarch Harold, Councilor Leopold, Councilor Jones, and Deputy Legion Chief Kukulin White Night.

    There are a total of 12 members of the empire. Interestingly, the 12 members are divided into two factions. One is the radical faction, headed by Leo Porter.  Then solve the problem of ghosts, at least now ghosts are hunted and killed by humans, and of course, this requires a terrible cost, involving increased taxation and other issues.

    The other faction is the conservative faction, represented by Congressman Jones. They advocate developing the occupied land first, and after solving the problem of ghosts, they will then explore outwards, so as to prevent other dangerous intelligent creatures from appearing on the continents beyond the ocean.  .

    In fact, the beliefs of radicals and conservatives are all for laughs. Even Senator Jones himself has ridiculed that Leopold, the gloomy fellow, has come up with such lame beliefs. He is not ashamed.

    The reason why the radicals and the conservatives are opposed is actually expressing an attitude that they will never unite to show favor to the monarch Harold. You are the king, the real ruler of the empire.

    No member of parliament is as unbearable as the outside world has said. Being able to climb to this position has already explained a lot of problems.

    "The reason why everyone is here today must be clear. Regarding the murder of Joshua Eddie by Kukulin White Night, let me talk about your views."

    Harold's words were actually spoken to the two congressmen, Leopold and Jones, who could represent all the congressmen.

    "Since this is the case, then it is impolite. I have something to say."

    Senator Jones stands up?, he was nearly sixty years old, with a slightly fat body, and his oily face gave off a sense of kindness. He took a deep breath, as if to stabilize his emotions.

    "What kind of person Sir Eddie was like before his death, everyone present must have heard about it. He used his personal assets to build 17 hospitals and 35 orphanages. Such a person such a person"

    Councilor Jones said that the circles of his eyes were red, and it could be seen that he was really sad.

    "Such a good person was brutally murdered at home!"

    Congressman Jones' voice suddenly rose, and the broken voice with a slightly crying voice was even more infectious. A girl in a black dress in the auditorium clenched her fists and muttered: 'What a bastard.  '

    "Mr. Jones, calm down."

    Harold's face remained unchanged. If he was the most annoying congressman, it would be this one. Every time he touched the interests of the other party, he was almost seventy years old, and it was sad to cry.

    "Your Majesty, I lost my composure."

    Councilor Jones wiped away his tears, adjusted his breathing again, and said righteously: "Sir Eddie was a decent person when he was alive. He was killed so brutally. I absolutely want to help him seek justice!"

    This is the end of Congressman Jones's speech. What's interesting is that those observers who don't know much about the situation have a sharp decline in their impression of Su Xiao. Don't underestimate these observers. They are either related to this matter or must participate in this matter  Officers, of course, and Sir Eddie's family.

    What's more interesting is that Congressman Jones has never mentioned Su Xiao directly. Obviously, this is also an old bastard, and he will not offend Su Xiao completely while establishing his own image of affection and righteousness.

    Crying came from the public gallery, and it was obvious without thinking that it was Sir Eddie's family members. They had only one task today, crying, crying until they could live. These people are like the mirror in their hearts. Once those secrets are exposed, they will  All die.

    "Quiet."

    Harold's voice was not high, but the arbitration hall immediately fell silent, and he looked at Senator Leopold.

    Leopold raised his head slightly, his aquiline nose made him look a bit rigid and gloomy.

    "Your Majesty, I propose to acquit the deputy commander of Kukulin."

    Having said that, Congressman Leopold sat back on his seat, and Congressman Jones, who was more than ten meters away from him, was looking at him in surprise.

    There was an uproar in the auditorium, and Bonnie in the last row stared at Senator Leopold. She keenly discovered that Senator Leopold wanted to kill Su Xiao
