They stared intently at the young man in front of them, their casual words sounding as if they were simply instructing him on what to have for lunch.
"Yes!"
What's even more terrifying is that the burly warden immediately agreed with great joy, as if it were a great honor to work for Luo Tian.
The brief conversation completely engulfed the noble prisoners in the imperial jail.
"You can't kill me! I am the sole heir to a hereditary noble title, and I demand a trial by the Noble Council!"
"Ridiculous! What reason do you have to kill a nobleman?"
"This is vigilante justice! I'm appealing!"
......
Amidst the clamor of protest from the nobles, the warden glared at them and, without any politeness, berated them:
"Viscount White Prosper, is that it? You killed an entire family and imprisoned a female student from the Imperial Academy of Fine Arts as a slave on your estate just because she refused your invitation."
After this incident was exposed, it was discovered that more than 30 missing women were connected to you, and this female student was definitely not your only prey.
After this incident was exposed, it sparked huge public outcry, and the Prologis family had no choice but to temporarily imprison you in the dungeon.
"Letting you live for another year and a half is already a blessing for a beast like you, and you still have the nerve to want a fair trial?"
"Sigern, have you forgotten that you killed a group of merchants and then pretended they were scouts from the Red Sand Empire?"
"Nobility? Ha! Her Majesty the Empress has already completely abolished the laws governing nobility."
The warden was clearly well aware of the disgraceful deeds of these nobles and was even able to refute the clamoring nobles one by one.
The nobles were rendered speechless by the warden's words, and could only look at Luo Tian and the warden with hostility.
Sensing the anger of the nobles around him, Luo Tian suddenly smiled.
"Do you think my judgment against you was very unfair?"
"In that case, I will give you a chance for a fair judgment."
Turning to the warden, Luo Tian gave the order:
"Prepare a grand online live broadcast, list out the crimes of these so-called nobles one by one, and then let all the people of the empire judge them."
Upon hearing this, not only the nobles but even the jailer couldn't help but widen their eyes in astonishment.
The imperial people's trial sounds nice, but who are the main people of the empire? They are the common people who form the cornerstone of the empire!
Giving the power of judgment to the people of the empire is tantamount to letting the common people judge the nobles, something that has never happened in the tens of thousands of years of history of the Star World.
If this trial can proceed as planned, it will deal a heavy blow to the noble foundation of the Star World, which has lasted for tens of thousands of years.
How much more noble can a nobleman be than a commoner if he can even judge a commoner?
The claim that nobles are born noble is completely unfounded.
A year ago, even if Luo Tian had immense power, he wouldn't have been able to issue this order, because it would have violated the social order of the Star World.
Unless he can rewrite the perceptions of all the people in the Star World, it will be difficult to push forward this trial of commoners against nobles.
However, after Yin Qianyu's sweeping reforms over this period, the power of the nobles and the public's perception have changed dramatically, which can be considered as laying the foundation for holding the trial assembly.
In addition, Luo Tian's overwhelming martial power is enough to form the basis for starting this trial conference.
"Although His Majesty the Regent may seem to be indifferent to state affairs, this trial is a powerful remedy for the Great Yin Empire's current transformation!"
"If this succeeds, Her Majesty the Empress's reforms will face no further obstacles. She truly deserves to be called the Regent!"
Thinking of this, the warden couldn't help but show admiration in his eyes.
As for Luo Tian himself, he glanced at the noble prisoners filled with despair and curled his lip in disdain.
He made this suggestion without considering any changes in reform ideology or anything like that.
This behavior stemmed purely from a wicked sense of humor in his mind.
"It would be quite amusing to think about how these self-proclaimed noble individuals were sanctioned by a group of online judges and then made a fool of themselves under the threat of death."
"Yeah, I'm already starting to look forward to it."
A malicious thought flashed through Luo Tian's mind.
Just then, the warden suddenly spoke up:
"Your Majesty, there will definitely be some remaining nobles who will try to stop this. They will do everything they can to prevent any noble from dying in the trial."
If the vote results in the release of the nobles, are we required to do the same?
Upon hearing this, Luo Tian frowned deeply, clearly displeased, and said in a deep voice:
"The most important thing in conducting a fair trial is to follow the rules. If the people really feel that a certain nobleman should not die, then we should respect the people's choice."
The warden looked troubled. He knew that although the Empress held great power, most of the industries in society were still in the hands of the nobles, who wielded enormous influence.
If, as Luo Tian said, the voting rules are strictly followed, then if the nobles engage in various forms of campaigning, they could indeed manipulate the outcome of this trial.
After all, for ordinary people, many would not refuse to vote if they could exchange their votes for tangible benefits.
Thinking of this, the warden couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
"His Majesty the Regent is indeed incredibly powerful, but he has overlooked the influence and methods of those nobles..."
The thought had barely formed in the warden's mind when he heard Luo Tian speak.
"However... the voting process must be handled with care. In order to prevent the public's vote from being manipulated, we, as the government, can provide some assistance in the voting process."
For example, create more online accounts and conduct voting appropriately.
"Internet trolls?" The warden looked at Luo Tian, who was speaking with righteous indignation, and felt that the image of His Majesty the Regent in his mind had been somewhat shattered.
However, this operation did indeed align with the warden's own wishes.
Just as he was about to agree, the warden suddenly remembered something that had happened in the past.
In the Great Yin Empire, two纨绔 (wan ku, spoiled young nobles) once held an online event to promote two internet celebrities. After the two nobles used their various tricks, it was discovered that the total number of votes was higher than the total population of the Great Yin Empire. This immediately made the two纨绔 and their families a laughing stock of the empire.
The Great Yin Empire has an extremely high internet penetration rate. If those nobles can really garner enough votes, even if they use online trolls, they will be quickly identified, and it will only damage the credibility of the imperial government.
The warden told Luo Tian his thoughts, but the Regent remained unfazed and said:
"Who told you the empire only has this small population?"
"The battle is now decided, and Radiant World is already in the Empire's hands. We are merely voting on behalf of the people of Radiant World in the name of the Empire's official authorities. How can this be considered an act of online trolling?"
Moreover, even disregarding the Radiant World, which will soon be incorporated into the Empire, I, as the ruler of the Underworld, command hundreds of millions of Yin soldiers, most of whom are souls who have returned to the Underworld over tens of thousands of years from the Star World.
It is perfectly reasonable to publicize this matter in the underworld and get the underworld soldiers to stand up and cast their votes.
Anyone who has objections can be taken to the underworld by the ghost soldiers for a proper discussion!
Chapter 330 I'm Not Cao Cao! 4000
After casually deciding the fate of these noble prisoners with a few words and a group of ghost soldiers, Luo Tian ignored them.
They're just a bunch of trash destined to be swept into the dustbin of history. Although they have some strength, Luo Tian really doesn't think much of them.
Luo Tian does lack some strong individuals to do things right now, but they should at least be true gods with medium or higher divine power. There are plenty of cannon fodder at the demigod and saint levels.
Ignoring the noble prisoners who were either roaring or wailing, Luo Tian looked further inside the prison, where the spies were crouching in a corner, trembling with fear.
Apart from a few people who were dressed in rags as if they had spent a long time in prison, most of the other spies were a group of guys dressed in suits and ties, looking like social elites.
Since the imperial prison was essentially a fig leaf for the nobility, no one would prepare prisoner's clothes for them, which led to the same situation for the spies who were subsequently imprisoned.
He's wearing the same clothes he was wearing when he was caught, and he's still wearing the same clothes now.
Looking at these guys in suits who were shouting every day about welcoming the king's army, the word "pyramid scheme" inexplicably flashed through Luo Tian's mind.
As Luo Tian approached, the spies trembled even more violently.
Their prison was right next to that of the noble prisoners, and Luo Tian's words reached their ears without missing a single one.
They were already terrified of this mysterious and unpredictable regent, and Luo Tian's actions amplified that fear several levels.
Before Luo Tian, even the most loyal members of the Green Frog Cult dared not utter any more words of joyful welcome to the royal army.
They knew that the prison guards had no right to deal with important prisoners like themselves, but even if this person slaughtered them all, no one would dare to say a word against it.
Even the God-King Council, upon learning of this, would applaud and praise Luo Tian for his slaying.
Luo Tian glanced at the group of spies and spoke calmly:
"I was originally planning to kill all of you spies, since none of them are good people anyway."
All the spies turned deathly pale instantly. Even the Blood God Child trembled slightly and lowered his head even further.
"But... someone reminded me that although you are of little value, your connection with the Council of Gods still has some use."
The Council of Gods manipulates you lackeys in an attempt to overthrow the Star World; your very existence is proof of that.
"By keeping you here, the Star World can demand more compensation from the Council of Gods."
A gentle smile appeared on Luo Tian's lips, but his gaze toward the spy was icy cold.
According to the intelligence Shuangye provided him, although these lackeys of the God King's Council were nominally spies, their real purpose was to plunge the Great Yin Empire into chaos.
While the Star World is indeed the rear base, it is not the command center of the Endless Abyss Alliance, and the God-King Conference has no requests for intelligence information.
The main purpose of mobilizing these spies was to interfere with the Empress, who was one of the frontline commanders.
Therefore, the only value of spies is to do everything possible to create chaos.
For those extraordinary individuals who have just received assistance from the God-King Council and advanced to the realms of demigods and saints, what means are most likely to create chaos? Without a doubt, it is destruction and slaughter!
Since six months ago, these spies have committed at least a thousand acts of sabotage and massacre throughout the capital, involving tens of thousands of people.
This does not include the earlier incidents where spies attacked noble residences and assassinated officials.
Even though some spies who orchestrated major incidents were killed on the spot, those who were captured and imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison all had their hands stained with blood.
Luo Tian didn't particularly like these spies, but he couldn't deny the value they could bring.
so......
"One of you is enough!"
After speaking, Luo Tian gently raised his right index finger, and the soul power it carried easily tore apart the entire prison cell's defenses.
All the spies felt that familiar power return to their bodies, and many of them showed astonishment on their faces, as if they were pondering the meaning behind Luo Tian's words.
