Make France Great Again

The team escorting Orsini braved the hazy rain and fog and accelerated towards the location of the Administrative Court.

After about ten minutes, the escort team arrived at the gate of the (Supreme) Administrative Court.

The captain leading the team quickly dismounted, and several cavalrymen following the captain also dismounted.

Then, they handed the reins to their companions who were still on the horses, and slowly came to the door of Orsini's carriage.

"Prisoner Orsini..." the captain called out the names of the assassins in a solemn tone, "The Supreme Court has arrived, get out of the car quickly!"

The carriage opened slowly, and Orsini and the three collaborators stepped out of the carriage one after another.

Then, under the escort of the cavalry captain, he stepped into the Supreme Administrative Court step by step.

When Orsini arrived at the hall of the Administrative Court, a group of soldiers wearing First Empire infantry uniforms, led by an officer wearing a major's uniform, came to Orsini.

Upon seeing this, the captain of the cavalry responsible for escorting Orsini arrived quickly gave the other party a military salute and said, "Sir!"

The major also solemnly returned a military salute, and then said, "Thank you for your hard work! Leave the rest to us!"

"Yes!" the cavalry captain said with a sonorous tone, and then led his team to turn around and leave the Administrative Court.

The major who was responsible for escorting Orsini to the court looked at Orsini up and down with undisguised disgust, "Are you Orsini?"

"That's right!" Orsini raised his head and said to the major with a proud attitude, "I am Orsini!"

"You're quite a crazy guy!" The major said with a disdainful smile on his lips and a hint of contempt in his eyes, "Do you think your assassination of His Majesty is a big deal!"

"No! I regret what I did before!" Orsini said sincerely, shaking his head.

Orsini's answer surprised the major. Orsini, who he had expected to be proud of, unexpectedly expressed regret.

However, the major's attitude towards him has not changed. In the major's view, the reason why Orsini chose to admit his mistake was simply because he was afraid of death. This was just a trick he wanted to beg the court to forgive.

Ever since, the major sneered, and then continued to say, "Repent! It's too late to regret now!

Do you know that your previous behavior almost killed a great monarch and the closest partner of the French army?

The entire army is dissatisfied with your despicable behavior. If His Majesty the Emperor had not advocated using the law to judge you, you would never have waited for the opportunity to be tried in the court!

You can live two more months because of the mercy of His Majesty the Emperor!

You bastards should have been pulled out and shot long ago! "

Facing the major's insults, Orsini did not feel angry at all. He understood that the reason why he was able to live for two more months was entirely due to Jérôme Bonaparte, who was the client.

Under such circumstances, it was considered very merciful that Orsini was not directly shot to death.

….

"I regret the mistakes I made, and I am also very grateful to His Majesty the Emperor for giving me the opportunity to be tried by the law!" Orsini said humbly to the major, and then he kindly reminded the major, "Mr. Officer, it's already getting late before the court session. Do we still need to be here?"

"Let's go!" The major took Orsini and three cooperators to the side corridor of the court, waiting for the upcoming court session.

At this moment, the auditorium of the court and the corridor behind the auditorium were already crowded with people. Some of them were reporters from newspapers, some were members of political parties, and some were law students, as well as ordinary people. I am eagerly awaiting the hearing.

As the time came to 3 p.m., three judges wearing bright red robes with exquisite fur collars walked out from the corridor on one side of the court.

The trial also officially began.

After the three justices (one chairperson and two deputy) sat in their respective seats, Justice Auvergne, who was sitting in the middle seat, glanced at the slightly commotion of the crowd in the auditorium in the distance, and he picked up his hand. The wooden hammer gently knocked twice, and as the clear sound came out, the audience in the auditorium became much quieter.

Immediately afterwards, Auvergne continued to say to the people present in a majestic and sacred tone, "Silence!"

At this moment, everyone in the audience fell silent. They looked at Auvergne on the stage and quietly waited for his next words.

"Take the prisoner Orsini..."

On Auvergne's orders, Orsini and three of his collaborators were brought up and placed in a position to be interrogated.

Immediately afterwards, Auvergne asked the attorney of the accuser (that is, Jérôme Bonaparte, Augusta) to tell the crime committed by Orsini.

The person responsible for providing legal consulting services to Jérôme Bonaparte and Augustus was none other than the Minister of State Guizo. As a person with a background in law and philosophy, he skillfully used the laws of the empire. Adding guilt to Orsini's head.

After Minister Gizuo finished speaking, he smiled at Auvergne and said, "That's all I have to say, Your Excellency!"

"Lawyer Jizuo..." Auvergne immediately realized that the address was inappropriate, and he quickly corrected himself, "Lawyer Jizuo, please sit down!"

Ji Zuo bowed slightly to Auvergne, and then looked at the defense lawyer opposite him.

"Defendant, is there anything else you want to say?" Auvergne turned his gaze to Orsini and asked.

Orsini glanced at his defense attorney, then smiled and asked, "What do you think?"

Faced with such a disadvantageous situation, Orsini's defense lawyer did not choose to give up. He quickly stood up and refuted the charges just convicted by Ji Zuo.

Although there are some problems with the rebuttal of some of the charges, overall the defense lawyer's thinking is quite clear.

Jizuo and Auvergne couldn't help but glance at the defense lawyer opposite.

The audience in the auditorium, who originally expected this to be a one-sided battle, also had a strong interest in the defense.

Although they already knew that the outcome of this battle would definitely end with Orsini's death, they still wanted to see who was better in terms of their familiarity with the law between Gizuo and the lawyer.

….

One is a veteran lawyer who has become famous, and the other is an amateur lawyer who has no reputation at all and is blind in one eye.

The struggle between two people is a very interesting thing.

Immediately afterwards, Guizou once again refuted Orsini's defense lawyer, and at the same time provided some evidence and witnesses to Auvergne.

Seeing this situation, Orsini's defense lawyer had no choice but to seek a reduced sentence for Orsini on the grounds of attempted murder and voluntary surrender.

Just as Orsini's defense lawyer and Kizuo were going back and forth, Orsini, who had been silent, said, "I plead guilty!"

As soon as these words came out, the defense lawyer could no longer do anything to save him, and he could only clench his fists and remain silent.

"Since the defendant has admitted his crime, I sentence Orsini to death..." Auvergne sentenced Orsini to death in court, leaving two of the three Sardinian collaborators. , also sentenced to death.

Another person was sentenced to more than 20 years in prison (because this person did not participate in the actual assassination.).

As soon as the verdict came down, Auvergne impatiently banged the wooden hammer in his hand, indicating that the change would take effect immediately.

The entire trial ended in just over an hour, and Orsini and the three collaborators were taken into custody again.

Jizuo glanced at the defendant's defense lawyer opposite who was sorting out documents. He slowly walked up to the defendant's lawyer and praised, "It's amazing that you can do this as a law student!"

Defendant

After hearing Ji Zuo's speech, the teacher had a look of surprise on his face, "How did you know?"

"Because your interpretation of the law is a bit too dogmatic!" Ji Zuo said to the defendant's lawyer, "A lawyer with a little experience will never be like you!"

"So that's it!" the defendant's lawyer muttered, and then cheered up and responded to Ji Zuo, "Next time, next time I will definitely not be like this!"

"I'm looking forward to your next time!" Ji Zuo replied to the defendant's lawyer, and then asked the defendant's lawyer, "By the way! Can you tell me your name?"

To be honest, Ji Zuo wanted to take this spiritual little guy under his command.

Just like Talleyrand and Thiers, he had a premonition that the future of this little guy in front of him would be limitless.

It's a pity that the other party didn't seem to choose to take refuge in him because of his identity. "Your Excellency Jizuo, I'm sorry, my faith does not allow me to take refuge in you!"

"Your beliefs? What beliefs do you have?" Ji Zuo asked curiously.

"Your Excellency Jizuo, I am a staunch republican! I believe that republicanism will bloom brightly in this land!" the defendant's lawyer said to Jizuo firmly.

Hearing that the opposite party was a republican, Ji Zuo still did not give up. He told the opposite party that even if he was a republican, there would be no problem. Only pragmatism is the most unpretentious doctrine in the world.

However, the other party was not a pragmatist like Jizuo. He once again shook his head and rejected Jizuo's invitation, saying that he would never change his beliefs.

Ji Zuo could only shake his head regretfully, and then asked the other party's name.

"Minister Jizuo, my name is Laian Gambida!" Laian Gambida said without hesitation, "My goal is to overthrow the rule of the empire, so there is no compromise in my dictionary!"
