Original God, life in red Teyvat from scratch

It was worth it for him to take on all the dirty work himself.

During this time in the detention center, he had good food and drink, was contented, and even gained a few pounds.

"The defendant, Kujo Takayuki, colluded with the Faintheads and deliberately forced Kaigi Island to wage war against the shogunate..."

The judge was explaining what Kujo Takayuki had done, and along with the explanation was shown the evidence they had collected from the Fatui.

It contains a detailed record of the conversations between Kujo Takayuki and the Fatui.

"I did it, and this evidence is real. I didn't expect that they would record it in such detail."

In court, facing each question, he admitted it frankly.

"Colluding with the Fatui, and equipping the Shogunate army with the evil eye that causes great damage to the human body without the Shogunate army's knowledge..."

"I admit that I did it, but I was also unaware of it."

"But the records say that although you didn't know the details, you knew that there were huge risks and deliberately avoided the elite shogunate army led by Kujo Masahito at the time."

"I admit that."

……

As the trial progressed, everything that Kujo Takayuki did, including deceiving his superiors and subordinates, fanning the flames, colluding with insiders and outsiders, and taking advantage of opportunities to reap profits, were made public and then gradually strung together to form a complete and fluent record.

There is solid evidence for every matter.

People found that every step he took had a clear purpose:

To seek benefits for the Kujo family.

Chapter 232: Nine Articles of Filial Piety, Ming Zhengdian Punishment

How about Inazuma? As long as my boss (the general) has no objection, it's fine.

I have done a good job in implementing the General's eternal will. At least the General thinks I have done a good job, and that is enough.

What does it matter to me what the people of Inazuma are like? I just want the Kujo family to live well.

This is the core of Kujo's filial piety thought.

For an ordinary citizen, this is commonplace and nothing surprising. The harm can be ignored. At most, it affects the brains of some individuals around him.

But if it was placed on the shoulders of the Shogunate's Tenryo Bugyo, it would cause a big mess.

The consequence of using public power for personal gain was that Inazuma suffered turmoil for two and a half years.

In addition, in order to ensure the future prosperity of the Kujo family, he controlled a large number of chambers of commerce as "white gloves", created crises, and took the opportunity to reap the wealth of the Inazuma society.

In order to gain the position of the Kujo family in Tenryo Bugyo and for power, he deliberately created troubles and attacked political enemies.

This trick worked every time until Haigi Island began to show its might and hold up the sky.

The crimes were announced one by one by the judge, with witnesses and evidence all present. Even the old butler of the Kujo family appeared as a tainted witness and identified everything.

Kujo Takayuki also admitted it.

Moreover, there was no trace of remorse on Kujo Takayuki's face, which was completely as it should be.

His lawyers no longer know how to defend him, and even a defense for reduced guilt is difficult to make.

Damn, his reputation as a lawyer is probably going to be ruined because of this.

It was even stinkier than he had expected.

I regret taking this job for the 114514th time.

The Inazuma crowd that came to watch were surprisingly angry.

All the suffering they have endured was caused by this man, and now this man stands in the dock, speaking shamelessly and showing no intention of repenting.

Some people started throwing out the things they had brought with them, rotten oranges, rotten eggs, and apples that they were halfway through eating but got so angry that they couldn’t finish them…

Some people even took off their wooden clogs and threw them at Kujo Takayuki's head.

However, one by one, they were blocked by a barrier.

"Silence! No noise!"

The presiding judge slammed the gavel hard, and his voice was transmitted to the surroundings through the loudspeaker, but it had the opposite effect.

People became more excited.

The people at the scene seemed ready to rush forward and tear him to pieces. When the bailiffs and even soldiers on the scene were unable to stop them, a large rock element shield enveloped the people, blocking their progress.

It’s just that the shield can stop people from moving forward, but it can’t stop their emotions.

"Death penalty, death penalty is necessary. Without death, justice will not be known!"

"If none of them die, how can we be fair to them?!"

"Death by a thousand cuts!"

"Burn him to death, over a slow fire!"

Reporters represented by Charlotte captured the anger on people's faces and the indifferent expression on Kujo Takayuki's face, forming a sharp contrast.

Put together, it's a picture with great visual impact.

Even the well-informed people of Fontaine were shocked by the actions of this scum of the world.

To them, this was a story from the ancient times, just like the dark ages of the nobility described in the history books of Fontaine.

After Kujo Takayuki took the initiative to stop the lawyer from continuing to defend him, the presiding judge, who was under tremendous emotional pressure from the people, spoke much faster when announcing the verdict.

"The defendant, Kujo Takayuki, is suspected of multiple crimes including war, murder, kidnapping, embezzlement, bribery, dereliction of duty, treason, etc. Now, this court sentences the defendant, Kujo Takayuki, to death, to be executed immediately!"

The gavel fell and the verdict came into effect.

The people watching this scene in the audience applauded and said it was very exciting. People from Liyue, Mondstadt and other countries also applauded.

Although they didn't experience it personally, just hearing about it was enough to make their blood pressure soar.

The sense of substitution is strong.

However, many people in Fontaine couldn't help frowning when watching this scene.

The trial process was indeed thorough, and the evidence was indeed strong, but the death penalty was a bit...

Although Fontaine has not abolished the death penalty, it has not imposed a sentence for hundreds of years.

He looked at the people around him who were cheering.

Let’s just forget it, well, this is to respect the Inazuma culture and the wishes of the Inazuma people.

Anyway, it was a lot of fun and it really broadened my horizons.

In order to calm people's emotions and comfort their hearts to the greatest extent, the execution ground was set up not far away.

It's hanging.

At the moment the rope was put around his neck, facing the presiding judge's question, "Do you have any last words?", Kujo Takayuki just laughed.

"I just can't believe that after hunting geese all day, I would be blinded by a goose! I, Kujo Takayuki, accept the loss. Come on."

Kujo Takayuki jumped off the platform on his own initiative. The rope was tightened, his cervical vertebrae were broken, and Kujo Takayuki was declared dead.

Many people at the scene were still immersed in joy and did not react for a while, while Jiang Ming and others frowned secretly.

"It would be better not to ask about his last words and skip this step directly. If you ask this, someone will definitely have to summon his spirit in the future."

They naturally understood the meaning of Kujo Takayuki's words.

He thought that he had merely lost in the political struggle and that the winner takes all, and he still did not think he was guilty.

And he jumped down voluntarily, which made him seem like he died a heroic death.

"It's hard to find perfect things in the world. This is already pretty good."

Xinhai naturally also saw this result, but her psychological expectations and requirements have always been much lower than Jiang Ming's, so she could still comfort Jiang Ming at this time.

Kujo Takayuki's body was put down and taken away.

Unfortunately, due to considerations of the city appearance and the impact on public reputation, the popular hanging street lamps were not included.

The next person to be brought to the dock was Shinsuke Hiiragi.

Hiiragi Shinsuke's condition is very different from that when he was the Kanjo Bugyo.

During this period of time, Hiiragi Shinsuke has lost a lot of weight, his cheekbones have become protruding, his eye sockets are sunken, and his face looks haggard, no longer as calm as before.

This guy is under too much psychological pressure, not at all like Kujo Takayuki who can take it easy.

From the moment he was captured by the Haiqi army, he knew that he could not escape death, it was just a matter of how and by which side he would be killed.

Knowing the outcome, he honestly confessed the problem in order to avoid unnecessary suffering before his death.

But this does not change the fact that he lives in fear of death all day long.

He couldn't eat or sleep well, especially after he knew he was going to be tried in public.

"The defendant, Hiiragi Shinsuke, was a former magistrate of the Inazumahara shogunate. During his tenure, he was suspected of instructing his subordinates to collect taxes by force; extorting foreign merchants under false pretenses and imposing large amounts of additional fees on local merchants; changing tax rates and adding tax items on merchants without permission; smuggling; illegal immigration; extortion of bribes; embezzlement of the budget of the Kanjo Magistrate; and unfair competition through violence..."

After the summary opening speech, the proof of each crime was presented. Behind each crime, there was sufficient evidence and witnesses, which was exactly the same process as the trial of Kujo Takayuki.

However, compared with Kujo Takayuki, Hiiragi Shinsuke's performance is far inferior.

Chapter 233 It’s not that simple

"I was wrong. I really know I was wrong. It was Kujo Takayuki who forced me to do all this. It was him, it was all him! He is the Tenryo Bugyo and has the most power. If I don't listen to him, the entire Hiiragi family will not have an easy life. I had no choice but to do this!"

The charges were proven one by one with the help of massive amounts of information and witnesses. No matter which law was followed, it was enough for him to die ten times over.

Faced with such a result, watching himself approach death step by step, Shinsuke Hiiragi finally couldn't bear it anymore and was completely crushed mentally by the pressure.

At the public trial, he tearfully threw the blame on Kujo Takayuki.

"Take a good look at these documents. They clearly record your transactions with Kujo Takayuki. At least one-third of them were mentioned by you. And there are also these testimonies from merchants on the outlying islands. Do you think you can escape trial by trying every possible way to shift the blame to a dead man?"

The presiding judge ignored his attempt to shift the blame.

The evidence is conclusive and the death penalty is a foregone conclusion. No matter how much he tries to argue, it will be useless.

No one in the audience was moved by his performance at all. On the contrary, there was a chorus of boos.

In addition to professional materials, there are also concise and clear "stories" for the general public, which are easy to understand and they can easily see what Shinsuke Hiiragi did and the results.

It is not difficult to see that the so-called being forced is just an excuse. He just wanted to join in the fun in order to make money. The two of them are almost like-minded.

The Inazuma people just wanted him to be killed as soon as possible, while the foreigners who came to join in the fun were just there to watch the fun.

Especially for the people of Fontaine, similar scenes have been performed countless times in the Opiclay Opera House. There is no difference except that the protagonist's official position has become higher. They are tired of seeing it.

"He is a great official, but he behaves like this when the time comes. I don't think he is much better than me."

Among the onlookers, someone spat on the ground in disdain for Shinsuke Hiiragi's performance.

"Don't belittle yourself, brother. Normal people like us might beg for mercy when faced with such an ironclad fact, but we wouldn't necessarily throw it at a dead person like he did."

"It's like this. When something happens, they just put the blame on others. Such people are despised everywhere. Besides, some of us ordinary people are stubborn and may be like Kujo Takayuki, but they are much better than him."

"You know what, compared to Hiiragi Shinsuke, although Kujo Takayuki has sinned deeply, he is still a real man. He was emotionally stable throughout the whole process, he accepted everything that was his, and he even took the initiative to jump down."

"..."

Amid the sighs of the general public, Shinsuke Hiiragi was also sentenced to death.

Execute immediately.

But it was still the same, far inferior to Kujo Takayuki. He was so scared that he collapsed on his seat and was carried over by someone.

Faced with the same question "Do you have any last words?", all Shinsuke Hiiragi could do was beg for mercy.

"No, don't kill me. The Hiiragi family still has a lot of money. I can share it with you! I can hand it all over. Please give me a way out. I will never get involved again!"

The two bailiffs who were holding him beside him looked disgusted.

This is the scene of the public trial, with live broadcast and relay, and reporters of all sizes are watching!

"Since there is no such thing, forget it. Let's execute him."
