The Dark King - Chapter 203

Chapter 203

Pus Avenue . Magistrate building .

A carriage which had Burong family insignia stopped at the doorsteps of the magistrate building . The door opened and Jenny slowly came out from the compartment . Sh was wearing an official judge's uniform . She walked upstairs to the second floor . Most of her colleagues saw and greet her .

"Miss Jennifer . " Said a co-worker . : "I heard you were ill . Are you better now?"

Jenny was ashamed . The decision for taking the leave of absense and the reason was made up by her father .

"I'm good now . "

"Jennifer, you are quite early . "

Everyone who saw Jenny warmly greeted her .

Jenny looked around to see several colleagues standing together and whispering . She approached them . : "Has there been any big case in recent days?"

Theese people were focused on chatting . The once who noticed Jenny turned around . : "Did you come to work? Aren't you on leave?"

"Just arrived today . " Jenny looked curiously at several people . : "What are you discussing about?"

One of the young judges said: "There are no big cases in our section . However, we were talking about the recent matter that happened on Artemis street . Haven't you heard? Deacon Huey was assassinated and his murderer was finally found . It was actually young master o the Milan family . Geez! You say that these aristocrats are not . . . . . . "The person stopped talking as he thought that Jenny too belonged to upper nobility .

Jenny was puzzled . : "Why would young master of Milan family assassinate deacon Huey?"

"It is not known . " Another young girl shook her head . : "It is said that the deacon Huey had helped Milan family to deal with some shady cases . The family was worried that deacon Huey would expose them and affect their family so they had secretly assassinated him . "

Jenny was startled . : "Deacon Huey has handled so many cases! He was just and strict! How could he help out Milan family . . . This . . . . . . "

"The sentence has already been given . " The previous youth shrugged his shoulder: "Most people say that deacon wasn't able to resist the money . After all, deacons are also short on money . "

Jenny couldn't help but say as she heard his words: "Money isn't that important as when we become judges are not we supposed to punish the evil and reign the justice?"

Young girl looked at her and said: "You are a noble! You have never lacked the money from childhood . Naturally you don't feel the charm of money . . . . . . " She saw the youth next to her wink so she immediatelly stopped . She looked at youth . : "I have to deal with the case! Go away, I'm busy . " Then, turned back to her seat .

The others also scattered .

Jenny's face turned ugly as she bit her lips . It was as if she felt a pain in her heart out of nowhere . She quietly returned to her seat but couldn't afford to get slightest passion to focus on workd . She thought about a way to recover time so she glance across the table to see newspapers on colleague's desktop . She approached . : "I'll take your newspapers to check . "

This colleague saw her and smiled . : "Take it . "

Jenny whispered "thanks!" . She took the newspapers and returned back to her seat .

"Deacon Huey's assassin was sentenced!"

"Vick Milan is in jail . Who is Milan family's future successor?"

Jenny fingers gently shook as she read the titles on newspaper . She didn't think that murderer turned out to be the Vick Milan who wanted to marry her few years ago . Although she didn't agree to marry but she had good impression of him . She didn't expect that such a bright man would make such a heinous thing . He was a knight!

"He had killed deacon Huey's wife . . . " Jenny felt pain in her heart as she read the following reports . He was certified by the Knight hall! How could he do such a cruel thing?

She clutced the newspaper . However she accidentally saw a word . It was just a glance but it made her heart beat inexplicably .

She saw a story in a corner .

"Longshan Ruby of Milan family was not lost! It was a misunderstanding . The magistrate ruling returned the trainee 'Dean's' innocence . Milan family has given thirty thousand gold coins as compensation . . . "

As she read the story Jenny's brain went blank and her mind buzzed! She recovered a long time later! She once again looked at the newspaper . She read it three times to confirm that she didn't see wrong .

Jenny's body slightly trembled as she remember the scene in that dark prison three years ago . The despairing boy and his stubborn words at the moment they parted .

"Why shold I admit? I have committed no crime!"

"I am not guilty . . . "

These words echoed in her ears as if she heard them yesterday . She could vaguely able to deel the grief and pain filled in them .

"He was not guilty . . . " Jenny eyes reddened . Large tears falled out from her eyes and soaked the newspaper . "It was me who wronged him! I didn't believe in him . . . " She remembered the sad and desperate mood on Dudian's face . Pain suffocated her! It was as is a knife was stabbed into her chest .

. . .

. . .

Ryan castle .

Dudian and Old Fulin sat by the table and ate breakfast .

"Your report has been written so obscure . There is no mention of Milan family's crime or about you being wronged . Instead they have focus on writing about the Milan family compensation . " Old Fulin folded the newspapers and shook his head . "The Milan family seems to have spent a lot of money on it . "

Dudian nodded . The assassination of deacon Huey and the Milan family's involcement was circulated and reported like storm within the giant wall . Their reputation was severly affected . This matter was a like a double-edged sword which affect both The Magistrate and the Milan family! But the magistrate was affected lightly while Milan family got the heavy punch .

As for the influence on the whole aristocracy . It was negligible .

Not all civilians worship aristocrats . There are some who feel deep hatred towards them . Over all civilans are divided into two categories . Howevr no matter how much they loved or hated the rich the only option was to endure . As they didn't dare to show their hatred .
