Blackstone Code

Chapter 1282: The end of an era

The Privy Council was rarely deserted, and the little earl looked at the sparse nobles with a mocking expression on his face.

"They are not united at all..." He turned to look at Lynch, "I heard that many of them are busy dealing with some things, they are even softer than we thought!"

"I thought they would hug each other and attack the palace..."

Regardless of whether the nobles admit it or not, without the great aristocracy's prevention, no matter what they do, they lack some strength, including confronting the royal family.

The nobles seldom end up, although they provide a lot of help, there seems to be not much real and practical things.

Seeing that the day of abolishing privileges is getting closer and closer, the most important thing the nobles did during this time was not to unite and discuss how to regain a round, but to deal with the bad things in their hands.

Among the privileges of the nobility, the most distinctive feature is the redemption system and the scapegoat system...

The redemption system mostly occurred in the Middle Ages, and nobles would often miss their hands and be caught during the war, but they were not worried at all, because of the existence of the redemption system, even hostile aristocrats could not kill those who surrendered.

They had to entertain them with good food and drink until the other family members sent the ransom gold coins, and then sent the people back.

After all, the nobles who died on the battlefield were a minority. Some people believed that this system caused the violent tempers of the nobles in the Middle Ages, because a small matter would declare war. For them, failure was nothing more than paying a little gold.

But they can breathe out, this is the most important thing.

The scapegoat system occurred in modern times.

During the period when the nobles still had fiefdoms, they were the ones with the most power in their own territories. They made laws, so they themselves would not be sentenced.

But with the development of society and the development of the empire, the privileges of the nobles shrank for the first time, and the nobles also began to abide by the law, but it was the noble code, not the imperial code.

In order for the nobles to surrender those privileges honestly, the royal family at that time added a privilege to the nobles, which is the scapegoat system.

If they commit a crime-they were the makers of the law, but now they are the enforced.

Then the nobles have the power to let people replace themselves and be punished. Some people think that this is the redemption system in the new era, but in any case, it exists so bizarrely.

When the noble court considers that the nobles have violated the noble code and need to be punished with certain whipping punishments, which can cause injuries, including beheadings, they can all be allowed to serve their sentences.

On the contrary, imprisonment, labor, and exile are not scapegoats.

It sounds a bit nonsense. To put it simply, there is a **** trial result, which can be a scapegoat.

Those who have no blood but are political punishments cannot be scapegoats.

It is precisely because the nobles have the privileges of these two summer sacrifices before and after that, they have no idea about crime, or that they don't care about whether they commit a crime at all.

And what they are doing now is to arrange for someone to scapegoat for crimes they may have committed before as soon as possible before the privileges are abolished...

This is also the reason why the little earl laughed at them. They always think of themselves first.

Lynch agrees with the little earl's statement, "People are selfish, and people will always act in their favor at special times. I told you about this behavior before..."

For the nobles, no one knows what will happen in the future, but if everything is really over, if they don't deal with the past things now, they may soon be unlucky.

Gevlar has no problems with the old law and the new law.

Lynch paused after speaking, "I will return to the Federation in a few days. You'd better return to Ameria as soon as possible..."

"So anxious?" The little earl was taken aback for a moment, a little bit disheartened.

He could always learn a lot when he was with Lynch, which he couldn't learn when Lynch was away.

For example, when Lynch told him of "human selfish behavior," no one else would pass on knowledge to him in such a simple and transparent way before.

His title is the highest among his group. Sometimes even if he does something wrong or fails to do a good job, others will not say him, let alone tell him what to do.

Only Lynch, this made the little earl couldn't help staying, "Aren't you going back with us?"

Lynch shook his head, "No, I have a lot of things on the federal side, maybe you don't know, my mother was taken to court by the prosecutor..."

The little earl was shocked. In his eyes, Lynch was simply the existence of God. It was incredible that his mother would be accused.

Seeing his dumbfounded look, Lynch smiled and waved his hand, "It's all small things, but I have to go back..."

The little earl knew that he could not stay, so he could only sigh, "Well, I hope you can solve these problems smoothly."

"Next... what do you think will happen to the situation here?"

Lin Qi smiled slightly, "Who knows?"

One day passed quickly, and this night, countless people suffered from insomnia.

Including the emperor, including the prime minister, including the great aristocracy and... the captain of the front line.

After daybreak tomorrow, the fate of the Gafra Empire will go in a direction that no one knows...

At seven o'clock in the morning, as soon as it was a little bit light, the major had already got up and started work.

Today, there were a lot of police officers on the square outside the palace. When he approached, two police officers came over and searched him.

There is no doubt that there is nothing illegal on him, there are only a dozen dollars all over his body, and two badly worn keys.

But even so, the police did not let the major in. Instead, they found the person in charge of the square outside the palace and confirmed that the major had been working here for a while before allowing the major to enter.

"Why are there so many people today?" he asked in a low voice, sounding like he didn't want to speak loudly because of the cold.

What the **** is this logic?

But the supervisor doesn't seem to care. His answer is also a kind of talk, a kind of complaint in a sense.

"The ghost knows, do you know what time I got up today?"

"What time is it?"

"Five o'clock!" the supervisor yelled loudly. Today's weather looks good. There was another snowfall yesterday afternoon, and it was midnight. It should be a sunny day.

His words naturally spread far, and some policemen looked away from him.

"Five o'clock...", the supervisor sighed, "This is the earliest time I have ever had it in my life."

"Listen, my mood is a bit wrong now, you go to your place to clean up the new snow, and then do what you want to do, just don't trouble me, do you understand?"

The major nodded, and went to the sundries room under the supervision of the supervisor to receive the snow removal tool and began to clean the snow.

After more than an hour, the square was thoroughly cleaned up, and a cleaner like him can take a rest.

Since Gevlar is a power-based country, the exploitation and oppression of capitalists is not serious here, so when a cleaner wants to rest, he just needs to rest.

The major chose a cafe next to the Palace Square to rest. A cup of hot coffee and cheese-filled burritos in such a cold morning is definitely the perfect breakfast.

In addition to good coffee and delicious burritos, there is also a roof.

It is said to be the roof, in fact, it can be said to be the second floor. It can go up from the vent of the toilet. Above it is a triangular spire structure with windows facing the square.

Usually many cleaners will rest here, so one more person, one less person, no one will find any problems.

And everyone is dressed the same, which has a lot of concealment.

The major was not worried about his assassination and leaving. The only thing he worried about was whether the submarine would show up.

However, regardless of whether it will appear or not, what should be done must be done.

As usual, he said inconsequential things to people, pretending to be able to blend in with the crowd, and then enjoyed coffee and burritos, and made an appointment with a few colleagues to go fishing on the weekend, and then entered the coffee shop.

He came to one of the toilet cubicles and easily entered the second floor cubicle through the exhaust window.

The weapon was placed in a pot in the corner of the wall. It has been a long time since no one came here, and there was no change in the dust on the ground near the door~lightnovelpub.net~ and there were no footprints.

He took out the waterproof tarpaulin package from the jar, checked the firearm and confirmed that there were no problems, and then began to make final preparations for shooting.

At ten o'clock in the morning, a lot of nobles had gathered in the square outside the palace, and they kept shouting at the palace.

At this time, the crowd was quiet for a moment, and the emperor appeared.

What surprised the major was that there were not so many palace guards around the emperor today, leaving some space for him.

The emperor faced each other on the wall.

Some nobles began to rush towards the palace while pushing and shoving. The emperor stood on the wall and did not move, but looked at the nobles indifferently.

Yes, he will indeed become the last emperor under the Gevlar monarchy, but he will also become the first emperor under the new system.

Although he lost part of his power, the royal family became the biggest beneficiary, except that the privileges of the nobility were almost completely abolished.

Because of the royal family, you also have privileges!

Maybe he and the emperors in the future can't personally control the power of this empire, but they can influence this country in other ways!

It even affects the prime minister and ministers, as well as the cabinet.

"We are all cannon fodder of the times, but my cannon fodder is obviously different from yours!"

His Majesty the Emperor looked at the group of nobles attacking the palace and whispered to himself.

He could see that the aristocrat who first attacked the palace had quietly retreated to the rear of the aristocratic group. On the contrary, the aristocrat who didn't move at the beginning had already rushed to the front line driven by emotions.

"We are all victims of the times!"

He sighed lightly, and suddenly there was a gunshot in his ear, and the entire time inside and outside the palace seemed to have stopped at this moment!
