Merritt said calmly: "Cartson, please explain clearly what you discovered."

"Yes, sir." The leading young man said respectfully, "On June 28, we three brothers were fishing in the river, but suddenly we discovered a richly dressed nobleman holding a piece of dead wood floating in the river.

Look, this noble lord has blood on his body and is almost unconscious."

Hearing this, Bernard's expression changed a little.

"The day we hunted down the smuggling leader was June 28, and it happened that he also jumped into that river." Merritt looked at Bernard, "Bernard, can you plead guilty?

?”

"My third brother went out to travel and have adventures, and he definitely did not host smuggling. Our Debs family is definitely innocent." Bernard still raised his head and said at this time.

Merritt sneered and said, "Bring Canter Debs up."

When they heard the name 'Canter Debs', the faces of Bernard and the members of the Debs family in the auditorium suddenly turned pale.

"This Canter Debs should be the third son of the Debs family."

Clyde said with a soft smile to Lin Lei next to him, and Lin Lei nodded along with him.

Linley and Clyde just watched what happened, but the Debs family members were horrified.

Many members of the Debs family in the gallery trembled nervously.

"Bang!"

The sound of chains clanking sounded, and under the escort of two sergeants, a pale, thin, blond, middle-aged man walked into the trial court. Everyone in the trial court focused their eyes on him, including Bernard and Kallan.

,Nimitz et al.

Seeing the blond middle-aged man appear, Bernard sighed and closed his eyes.

"Sure enough, it's Canter, the third son of the Debs family!" There was a discussion in the auditorium. As the third son of the Debs family, most of the nobles in Finlay City also know Canter Debs.

of.

At this point, it is useless for the Debs family to quibble.

Merritt, who was sitting in the trial chair, looked at Clyde, who nodded slightly.

"Bernard."

Merritt looked at Bernard, "Do you have anything to say until now?"

Bernard did not look at Merritt, but turned to look at his third brother, Kanter, staring at Kanter with burning eyes.

Kanter also stared at his brother Bernard, and the two brothers just stared at each other.

"Third brother, why did you do this?" Bernard had disbelief in his eyes, and his whole body was trembling with pain and anger.

"I'm sorry." Kanter said softly.

Bernard smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said solemnly: "You are not sorry for me, but for the entire Debs family.

Our Debs family has gone through many generations of hard work over the years to achieve what we have today.

But you, you..." Bernard was speechless in pain.

"Bang!"

Kanter knelt down heavily in the courtroom and shed two lines of tears.

"Brother, I deserve to die!!!"

The chained hand slapped his face hard, and he cried bitterly: "Brother, I'm sorry, it's my fault.

It was because I was greedy and not satisfied with the little power and wealth I had in the family, so I misappropriated the family's money for smuggling.

It's my fault, brother, everything is my fault!"

This scene shocked everyone in the auditorium.

Lin Lei and Clyde were also quite surprised, and even Merritt, who was the presiding judge, frowned.

"Things have come to this."

Bernard raised his head and said, holding back tears and looking so desolate, "Third brother, it's no longer anyone's fault. What you have done has put our entire family into an unprecedented crisis.

In crisis.

I, Bernard Debs, as the patriarch of this generation of my family, cannot face my ancestors even if I die."

As he spoke, Bernard's tears still fell.

Bernard suddenly looked at Clyde, knelt down in the direction of Clyde, and said with tears in his eyes: "Your Majesty, our Debs family has such a villain who betrayed the kingdom. He belongs to my Debs family.

Unlucky.

As the leader of the clan, I, Bernard, cannot escape my guilt.

I, Bernard, am willing to die so that Your Majesty can preserve our Debs family.

After all, the vast majority of people in our family are innocent!"

Clyde looked at Bernard.

Then he looked at Merritt and nodded slightly.

Merritt knew what Clyde meant and immediately said loudly: "The court will be adjourned now. The final verdict will be made in fifteen minutes!"

…

All the nobles who were observing must leave the court one by one, and they can only enter the court again after fifteen minutes. Now the situation is very clear. The punishment for the Debs family's suspected smuggling crime is entirely up to Grams

Ryder decided.

For such a serious crime of smuggling, one person can implicate the entire family. Even if the Debs family is destroyed, it is reasonable.

Of course, Clyde could also be more humane and just punish the Debs family, at least to save the Debs family.

The outcome is all decided by Clyde.

Although Clyde is a weakling who was forcibly promoted to level nine, he is still the king of the Kingdom of Finlay, so he can decide the fate of millions of ordinary people with a single word.

The so-called fate, for the weak, is determined by the strong.
