"I want to live a few more years." Clorinde said no more.
The people watching the trial were talking about it, and all their eyes were on Lin Zixuan.
"Silence!" Villette poked the ground with his cane, and the powerful pressure made everyone quiet down.
“Both parties have arrived. The trial of the security agency for reselling contraband has officially begun.
Fontaine's guard agency appeared on the Xumi battlefield, and the photos have been sent back from the port of Omos.
An accusation was made by Miss Oufu, the editor-in-chief of Steambird News: Marcelle, the president of the Cabrière Chamber of Commerce, was suspected of reselling the security agency.
Please ask Ms. Fang Oufu to provide relevant evidence."
"These are the photos sent back by Charlotte, a reporter from Steambird News. The transaction documents and receipt documents have the signature of President Marcelle and the seal of the Gabriel Chamber of Commerce." Motherboard Oufu showed the photos in her hand.
"The photos can be used as evidence in the Fontaine area, but they are not conclusive evidence. Can you produce the original photos?" President Marcelle retorted.
"The original is in the hands of Xumi Little Auspicious Grass King. All we need is a formal letter from Fontaine Momang Palace to get the original transaction documents in these photos."
"In other words, you have no other evidence except a few photos?"
"These evidences are enough. We just need to get the original transaction documents back, and then we can thoroughly investigate the Cabriere Chamber of Commerce."
"President Marcelle, do you have any other rebuttals?" asked Villette.
"Of course I have! Half a year ago, I reported to the security team that the seal of the Cabrière Chamber of Commerce was lost, and it has not been found to this day. All the transactions in the past six months were signed by me personally.
The handwriting of my autograph is very different from the one in the photo. I suspect that some criminals have picked up the seal of the Chamber of Commerce and are trading in the name of the Cabrière Chamber of Commerce. "
"Guards!" asked Villette.
"It's true. The Cabrielle Chamber of Commerce reported the case half a year ago that the seal of the Chamber of Commerce was lost." Guard Vaughn replied.
"How is it possible? Our newspaper didn't even know about such a big thing as the loss of the Cabrière Chamber of Commerce's seal?" Chief Editor Ou Fu was very surprised.
"The Steambird newspaper in Fontaine always reports trivial matters, and they will feel uncomfortable if they don't embarrass others. I asked the security team not to make public the matter of the lost seal. After all, it is not a glorious thing." President Marcelle smiled slightly.
The decree tipped the cardinal's scales.
"Ms. Oufu, do you have any additional evidence?"
"Then Lord Vilet, I haven't finished my words yet. I accuse the editor-in-chief of Steambird Newspaper, Ou Fu, of intervening in the Xumi War and providing war supplies to the little Lucky Grass King."
"Hiss..." Everyone in the venue took a deep breath. There was actually a reversal.
President Marcelle also took out a photo, which showed the army of King Little Jixiangcao happily drinking Fengda.
"Ou Fu, the editor-in-chief of Steambird Newspaper, sent 300 boxes of Maple Leaf to Charlotte in her personal name. Can Charlotte finish 300 boxes of Maple Leaf by herself?
This amount is far beyond the scope of ordinary gifts. Fengda drinks are well sealed and can be used as drinking water in wartime. They are considered war reserve materials in wartime!"
"How is that possible? I only sent three boxes!" Ou Fu retorted.
"The customs has the freight records. Why don't we let the security team get them?" President Marcelle looked at Vaughn of the security team secretly.
"The court is adjourned until the guards return!" said Navilette.
The discussion in the opera house gradually became louder.
"Hmph, how dare they frame my Uncle Marcelle? None of these people from the Steam Bird News are good people." Navia said angrily.
"Indeed, they are not good things." Lin Zixuan nodded.
"How can you say that about Uncle Marcelle? If it weren't for his help during the years when my father died, my father's Thorn Rose Society would have been gone long ago. The people from Steambird News kept adding insult to injury, as if they were afraid that my father wasn't miserable enough."
"Oh, sorry." Lin Zixuan said with a smile.
After a while, the security team came back with the evidence.
"Order number: XXX... Three hundred boxes of Maple were sent to Xumi Omos Port. The handwriting and signature match, and there are no signs of alteration. Miss Oufu, please provide evidence that only three boxes of Maple were sent." said Navilette.
Editor-in-chief Ou Fu was stunned, and suddenly realized that this was a huge dark web. The evidence was irrefutable. Marcelle, who was sitting opposite, raised her lips slightly.
The balance of the cardinals' decision suddenly tilted.
"According to the verdict given by the Cardinal of the Oracle, Miss Orf... is guilty!" Villette made the final judgment from above.
"Puchi!!!" Lin Zixuan laughed.
"Does Master Xuan of Liyue have any different opinions?"
"No! This is good, it fits the definition of an opera house."
"In that case, the trial is over."
Lin Zixuan looked at this farce-like trial and shook his head. There were many people like Marcelle who had been working in Fontaine for many years and were extremely familiar with the trial system of Fontaine. They had been to the opera house several times more than ordinary people.
If the traveler had not stolen his secret base and obtained the definite evidence, it would not have been difficult for him to die of old age given his caution.
This incident is almost the same as the incident involving Navia's father, in that other evidence was too conclusive to prove whether he ate one or two bowls of noodles.
Proving one's innocence is always the hardest thing.
Chapter 381 Navia's Humiliation
The justice has been served.
At the entrance of the opera house, Navia, as a guide, took Lin Zixuan to meet President Marcelle.
"Master Xuan, this is President Marcelle. It is because of his continuous support to the Rose Thorn Society that the Rose Thorn Society can maintain normal operations." Navia was happily introducing her father's former friend.
"Hello, I have heard a lot about your deeds. When the Fontaine Waterway was built, your Cabrielle Chamber of Commerce made great efforts. The scenery was very beautiful along the way on the patrol boat." Lin Zixuan said.
"Master Xuan, thank you for your compliment. Compared with your reforms in Liyue, my little tricks are not worth mentioning." President Marcelle waved her hands quickly.
"By the way, congratulations on winning this trial. It also allowed me to see the justice of Fontaine. At first I thought you were doomed to lose."
"Alas, the reputation of the Cabrière Chamber of Commerce in Fontaine is too great, and many people want to come and take a bite. I'm old now, and I want to retire and enjoy my retirement, but these people always come to cause trouble. If they come a few more times, I might really be taken to Melo Petersburg."
"In that case, I heard that President Marcelle has no wife or children, and I have never heard of any relatives. What do you think of Navia?
He called you uncle and respected you very much. He kept making excuses for you when you were on trial. He was smart, well-behaved and cute. He has now succeeded the Thorn Rose Society and has managed it in an orderly manner.
Don't you think she is a good candidate to be the successor to the Cabrielle Chamber of Commerce?"
Navia blushed instantly when she heard Lin Zixuan's praise, but she was stunned when she heard the following sentence and directly refuted it.
"Master Xuan, stop joking! The Cabriere Chamber of Commerce is the result of Uncle Marcelle's years of hard work. How can I take over my uncle's chamber of commerce?"
"Then how about President Marcelle accepting Miss Navia as her adopted daughter under my witness? Wouldn't it be wonderful if Miss Navia 'filially' takes care of President Marcelle in his old age and sees him to the end of his life?"
"Adopted daughter?" President Marcelle fell into deep thought. She didn't expect that Master Xuan would make such a proposal. Should she refuse?
"Navia's father has a deep friendship with you. You have also been supporting the Thorn Rose Society over the years. I believe you also treat her as your daughter. Navia is the most suitable person to be your heir, right?"
"Master Xuan!!! If you continue like this, I will really be a nobody on both sides." Navia shouted.
"Mr. Xuan's suggestion is very good. I have been alone for so many years. After I die, the Gabrielle Chamber of Commerce will probably be divided up. It is better to leave it to Navia." President Marcelle looked at Lin Zixuan. Although she was a little confused, she still agreed with Lin Zixuan's suggestion.
"Uncle Marcelle!!!" Navia shouted hurriedly, but saw Marcelle waving her hand.
"Navia, you still call me uncle? Come with me to Momang Palace later to handle the relevant procedures! You also have to learn how to run a business." After saying this, President Marcelle left with a cane.
After President Marcelle left, two figures appeared in front of Lin Zixuan and bowed 90 degrees. "Thank you, Master Xuan!!!" Servant Silver and Servant Myles said in unison.
"Master Xuan, I!!!" Navia didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Navia, the humiliation is only temporary. This is his compensation to you. Just accept it with peace of mind. Both you and the Thorn Rose Society need funds to operate.
I want to go to Fontaine by myself, you go and handle the formalities with Marcelle first! Don't let him regret it. " After saying this, Lin Zixuan turned around and left the opera house.
Servant Miles leaned close to Navia's ear and whispered, "Master Xuan has something to say, and many things are not said openly."
Navia also came back to her senses and asked, "Myles, do you think Mr. Xuan has something to say?"
"Yes, he said: 'Humiliation is only temporary.' Although the young lady's inheritance of the Cabriere Chamber of Commerce will be gossiped about, it is not to the extent of humiliation. I think this humiliation is likely related to the adopted daughter.
If... I mean if... the master was killed by Marcelle, and he asked the young lady to recognize the thief as her father... then it would be humiliating..."
"!!!" Navia's eyes widened. "No, I have to go and find out!"
Myles held Navia's shoulders. "Miss, calm down! This is our chance for the Rose Thorn Society."
"What chance? My father can't die unjustly like this, and I still acknowledge the thief as my father!"
"Miss, hush!!!" Servant Myles signaled to Servant Silver, who also understood and pulled Navia to a corner to prevent people from coming over and eavesdropping.
"This is Master Xuan's evil plan to make our Thorn Rose Society swallow up the entire Gabriel Chamber of Commerce.
Think about it, even if we find evidence and have Marcelle tried, what can we get? The Cabriere Chamber of Commerce has nothing to do with us, and it will eventually be divided up by other businesses. We will get nothing, no compensation.
But if you recognize the thief as your father and become Marcelle's adopted daughter, it will be much easier to find evidence. There is nothing easier than infiltrating the enemy to collect evidence.
After that, send Marcelle to trial, and you will be the legal and only successor of the Gabriel Chamber of Commerce. The Thorn Rose Society will regain its voice, and the lives of the people in Baisong Town will also be settled.
The final result is that the young lady can both get revenge and strengthen the Thorn Rose Society. The young lady should be able to tolerate a little bit of humiliation, right?"
"Humiliation...compensation...Is this what Master Xuan is trying to say?" Navia calmed down and clenched her fists. "Then let's start investigating Marcelleb...that guy."
"Miss, don't be impulsive, don't investigate, and don't treat Marcelle with the expression you have now. I guess he is also on guard! This trial is an example. Recall this trial.
Originally this performance was to judge him, but he ended up sending the opponent into Melo Petersburg.
The editor-in-chief of Steambird, Oufu, said that she only provided three boxes of Fontaine to the port of Omos in Xumi, but the security team produced evidence of three hundred boxes. Marcelle had no idea how many secret lines he had run in Fontaine, and he could be said to have a lot of connections.
I guess he will also play the father-daughter role well. Miss, all you have to do is to act with him. It will take at least two or three years to gain his trust, build your own team, and then look for evidence.
The opportunity is already in front of the young lady, don't mess it up! And we also need to guard against his poisoning and assassination. In the future, when you eat outside, let Sergeant Silver eat a few bites first, and you can eat after half an hour when there is nothing wrong. "
"I still feel like there is a thorn in my heart. I understand. I will endure it. As a Fontaine native, drama is a compulsory course.
Master Xuan has already presented me with an opportunity, a plan that kills two birds with one stone. Not only can I avenge my father, but I can also make the Thorn Rose Society left by my father prosper again, and the only sacrifice is a little bit of humiliation.
I will complete this plan well!" Navia finally made up her mind.
Navia and her group left the opera house. In another corner of the opera house, a brother and sister were watching them leave.
"Linnet, have you heard any information?" Linnie looked at her sister.
"'Father' said this man was very vicious, but I didn't expect him to be so vicious. The plan to let the Thorn Rose Society swallow up the Gabriel Chamber of Commerce, specifically..."
"That's amazing. If Navia can survive all kinds of assassination attempts, the annexation plan can be said to be completely successful. Even if we can't find evidence, it won't be too difficult to shorten the life of President Marcelle by a few years."
"Master Xuan once injured my father. Are we going to destroy his plan? Master Xuan is about to disappear from my wind element perception. Should we chase him?"
"!!! No! Don't make any movement." Linnie looked at Linnet's head in horror.
"Brother, what's wrong?"
"Can't you feel it? Take off the wreath on your head."
"Wreath?" Linnet touched her head and took off a beautiful rose wreath. "! When did I put it on?"
"It grew in an instant. This is his warning! He's targeting us! How could this be? We shouldn't have any contact with him."
"Rose? The flower language of rose is love. Hmm..."
"Linette, don't think too much, it's just a warning!" Linnie said hurriedly.
Xumi Omos Port.
Ying and Paimeng hurried back to the temporary medical room in the Grass God Palace.
"Charlotte, are you feeling better?" Paimon flew to Charlotte's side.
"Ah! It's Ying and Paimon. I feel much better now, thank you for your concern."
"Charlotte, we are investigating a stabbing. Do you remember what happened?"
"I was having dinner with the maids from the Grass God Palace. I had a grilled fish, a dish of vegetables, a bowl of rice, and a bottle of Fengda. That was all."
"It's completely identical to what we saw at the scene. The food and drinks have been inspected, and none of them are poisonous." Paimon scratched his head.
"I don't know either. As I was eating, I felt my heart beating faster and my breathing became more and more difficult. Then I lost consciousness," said Charlotte.
"This is too weird. We have asked the maids. They ate the same thing as you and they are fine. If there is anything strange, it is that a maid said Fengda tastes terrible." Paimon spread his hands.
"Fengda is hard to drink? It shouldn't be like that. Shouldn't the sour and sweet taste be suitable for us girls? I even drank two sips of it while eating."
"Sweet and sour? Isn't it sour and salty? I just drank it." Paimon said with his hands on his hips.
"??? Salty? Wait, so the grilled fish I ate was a little salty. I only tasted the sour taste and thought it was the saltiness of the grilled fish that overwhelmed the sweetness." Charlotte was also a little confused.
"Wait, I remember there's a store selling Fontaine drinks opposite the Diafa Hotel. I'll go buy a few bottles." Ying suddenly thought of something.
After a while, Ying came back with a few bottles of Fengda and opened one of them.
