456. Chapter Four Hundred and Fifty Sixth Hanging
Su Ruo didn't know that on the day she was imprisoned, the propaganda machine in the border star field started, and the overwhelming articles described Su Ruo as an unforgivable murderous devil.
All the evidence shows that Su Ruoli issued an order to execute 53,000 bandits despite public opinion.
Of course, if the bandits were just executed, the people in the border star field would not be filled with righteous indignation. However, under the instructions of General Gore, Su Ruo was described as an inhuman tyrant.
Su Ruo looked at the window above with a blank expression. Seven days ago, she knew that it was not a real window, but a window of virtual holographic images.
This is a cold single room, with one corner separated into a small bathroom. In the room, there is nothing but a bed, and there is even a door, because the door is a metal wall.
During these fifteen days, Su Ruo had not seen anyone, and the prison guards had not seen her. Even her three meals a day were delivered through a transport belt.
Wang Shaolan.
Mr. Gong.
Ouyang Taiping.
Yuan Fang.
Admiral Gore.
Fatty...
...
Su Ruo looked at the window blankly, and suddenly she found that she had the position of prime minister and there were not many people she could trust.
Everyone on the Eternal Can trust, but Su Ruo believes that General Gore will definitely put the girls under house arrest after taking her. In fact, even if they are not under house arrest, they will not be able to rescue her.
Korean Star Sea!
Su Ruo shook her head and a bitter smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. For more than four months, she would search for news about the wooden stick boy on Singularity Network every day, but to her disappointment, Han Xinghai completely disappeared.
Fatty and Ran Mengguo.
Su Ruo suddenly realized that now, the only ones who could help her were Fatty and Ran Mengguo.
Su Ruo was sure that Ran Mengguo would never come to rescue her. She knew very well that Ran Mengguo was the man. In Ran Mengguo's eyes, everyone could sacrifice for the future of the Barbarian Empire, including himself. Under this premise, Ran Mengguo would never have a broken-out with the entire border star domain because of her. What's more, Barbarian Star does not have the capital to challenge the border star domain at present.
Fat man.
The only hope is fat man...
...
“Buzz!”
Just as Su Ruo was thinking, a metal wall slowly slid open, her room expanded, and the enlarged space was placed with a desk, three chairs, and a false door.
On one side of the desk, a soldier wearing the rank of major general and two men in suits and ties stood.
"Prime Minister... Dear lady, this is your lawyer, you have ten minutes to talk."
"lawyer?!"
"Yes."
"Did I hire a lawyer?!" Su Ruo frowned and looked at the major general. She vaguely remembered that this major general had participated in the last ambush of the bandit fleet.
“This is assigned by the court for you.”
"It's really considerate!" Su Ruo said coldly.
"..." The soldier opened his mouth and said nothing. After giving Su Ruo a standard military salute, he turned around and strode towards the empty door.
"Prime Minister, please sit down!" A lawyer wearing glasses signaled Su Ruo to sit down with a condescending expression.
Another young lawyer held the documents and did not speak, with a little restrained face. Obviously, he was the assistant of the middle-aged man.
"Am I still the Prime Minister?" Su Ruo sat down slowly.
"My surname is Tian, just call me lawyer Tian. He is my assistant Xiaoyu! Dear Ms. Su, we won't waste time. Let's talk straight to the point. During your leadership of the border star domain government, according to the provisions of the "Rees Treaty of the Criminal Court of the Eternal Empire", you are suspected of crimes against humanity, violate the bottom line of human civilization, and ignore the basic principles of the law of the Eternal Empire. This is an arrest warrant issued by the court..." Lawyer Tian pushed a paper document to Su Ruo and said to himself.
"Wait, Lawyer Tian, are you a judge or a lawyer?" Su Ruo stared at Lawyer Tian with bright eyes.
"Ahem...this...this...this...this is now the court representative because of some majeure factors. You just need to sign it." Lawyer Tian blushed and scolded in anger.
"What if I don't sign?"
"If you don't sign, I'll leave." Lawyer Tian showed a grim smile on his face.
"Okay, I'll sign!" Su Ruo picked up the pen and looked at it without looking, and signed the document directly.
"..." Lawyer Tian did not expect Su Ruo to be so cheerful, and could not react for a moment, with a petrified expression on his face.
"Continue!" Su Ruo looked at Lawyer Tian lightly.
"Ahem... According to the starting point for formulating crimes against humanity in the "Rees Treaty of the Imperial Criminal Court", humans in the seven major star fields should enjoy the basic human rights of fairness, freedom and dignity regardless of race, culture, belief, class, and gender. Human interactions should break through the barriers of nationalism and not be suppressed by tyranny and power... In the content of crimes against humanity, there are seventeen types of acts such as murder, enslavement, extinction, forced expulsion, torture, sexual violence, and apartheid..." Lawyer Tian took out a stack of documents and read aloud. He did not look at Su Ruo's eyes. He felt like a clown and had nowhere to hide.
"Lawyer Tian, no need to worry, and I will not waste your time. You said, how should I cooperate with you?" Su Ruo interrupted Lawyer Tian.
"Ms. Su, the law is fair, this is your legal right!" The joy in Lawyer Tian's eyes was fleeting, and he looked at Su Ruo seriously.
"Tell me, I guess your time is very precious." Su Ruo looked dull.
"Based on the images and audio provided by the former government of the border star field and signed documentary evidence, you ordered the execution of more than 50,000 gangsters suspected of "massive, systematic abuse". You will be charged with "crime against humanity". Next, I will serve as your defense attorney."
"Okay. Please sign with me if you need to sign."
"This, this...this...this...this needs to be signed..."
Lawyer Tian Lin Mang signaled to the young assistant, and immediately, the assistant placed the documents held in his arms on the desk, and then Su Ruo signed them one by one.
"Okay. Lawyer Tian, I have a problem."
"Excuse me."
"I guess how many years I'll be sentenced to?"
"This... shouldn't be too long. Don't worry, I will try my best to help you. I have something to do, so I'll leave first. Xiaoyu, clean up the documents." Lawyer Tian did not look at Su Ruo, and lowered his head and picked up the legal book on his chest and turned toward the door.
"Lawyer Yu, do you know how many years I will be sentenced to?" Su Ruo's eyes fell on the restrained young man.
"Prime Minister... Why did you sign without looking?" the young man asked, biting his lip.
"Do you think I can't sign it?"
"No...no...no..." The young man hesitated and shook his head.
"Since I still have to sign, why bother to waste everyone's time?"
"Yes." The young man showed a look of frustration.
"Tell me how many years it's fine."
"Over fifty thousand lives, someone must be responsible. According to the terms of the Reth Treaty of the Imperial Criminal Court, you are already able to hang."
"Hanging..." Su Ruo's face turned pale.
"Yes. Prime Minister, I'm sorry, I have to leave."
"Xiao Yu, do me a favor..."
"I can't help with anything."
"Let the major general who came in just now see me. You can do it! I believe in you!"
"I...I...I'll do my best..."
The young man looked up at Su Ruo, bit his white lips, and nodded fiercely.
