Not over yet?

Several lawmakers were confused because they really hadn't done anything during this time.

After Arthur and the congressmen reached some kind of tacit understanding, they all explicitly or implicitly told their subordinates not to meddle in other people's business. Logically, there should have been no problem.

But they soon found out what the second sword that stabbed them was.

It's a fucking factory!

The five slightly younger people once again recalled the deadline in Arthur's promise: from the beginning of the new era to November 13th of the 52nd year of the new era.

This is their crime exemption period.

Some of their private activities have been going on in the past and are going on now. If it weren't for today's incident, they would have continued in the future.

This evil act is like a chariot without brakes. Once it starts, it will only keep moving forward until it is smashed to pieces.

By November, all the parliamentarians had warned their subordinates very seriously and ordered them to stop the dirty things they were doing, even if it was only for a few months, at least until Arthur's storm had passed.

Unfortunately, those guys who have tasted the sweetness can no longer be completely controlled by the congressmen. Even if they choose to obey orders, their subordinates and their subordinates' subordinates will still choose to commit crimes against the wind.

Once these guys are caught, they will shamelessly reveal any evidence that can help them reduce their sentences.

These things are time-sensitive. If someone else says them first, then what you say will be useless.

The door to the auditorium opened and there was a commotion outside.

Military vehicles were parked around the auditorium, and a huge number of criminal records were taken out of the vehicles and brought into the auditorium and presented to Wan Juan, who was serving as the judge.

As for those criminals, there is no need for them to come here. Their sentences will be delivered to their locations later, and then the guards will be responsible for executing them.

Inside the auditorium, as the charges were read out one by one, more and more charges appeared on the heads of congressmen one after another.

The inner city area of Hope City has become a tangled mess due to decades of continuous corruption. Those relationships are not simply linked one by one, but exist like a network structure. As long as one point is pried, the termites in the sewer can be caught in large numbers.

The crux of the problem lies in the factory, and following the factory's lines are involved in power plants, greenhouses, underground ranches, and even the black market and the research institute's destruction specialists.

Listening to the charges being read out over and over again, the congressmen also felt numb.

It was as if they were looking at their entire uprooted power from this perspective for the first time.

Before this, each of them was like extending their tentacles in a dark room. Until this moment, when the light in the dark room was turned on by Arthur, they saw that their tentacles extending in all directions had formed a huge net.

The highly homogenized evidence was read out for several hours, and its hypnotic effect was comparable to that of a calculus class in a university classroom, making the audience in the auditorium drowsy and want to sleep from time to time.

But everything changed at some point. When the name of a certain audience member appeared in a confession, two soldiers quickly rushed into the auditorium, pressed the man directly onto the seat, handcuffed him, and dragged him away like a dead dog without saying a word.

The scene happening in front of everyone was like a shot of stimulant, causing everyone to open their eyes wide and prick up their ears, fearing that they would hear their own names in the "Book of Life and Death".

On the other hand, the five congressmen above had expressions of accepting defeat. Zhong Ding even began to take a nap leaning back in his chair without any scruples.

Finally, it was the early night and the temporary court once again came to the sentencing stage.

Nearly ten hours of intense work did not change Wan Juan's tone. She sat in the judge's seat and said in a flat tone:

"Now I will read out the result of this case: According to the laws of the People's Federation, the five former members of the Hope Parliament, Zhong Ding, Nia, Gao Xi, Sharma, and Bordeaux, have been stripped of their membership of the Parliament, their citizenship of the City of Hope, and sentenced to life imprisonment for labor reform, to be executed immediately."

Arthur did not raise any objection to Wan Juan's verdict. Since he had chosen procedural justice, there would be no problem for the other party to make a verdict according to the laws of the Human League era.

Moreover, from an objective point of view, the evil deeds of the new generation of parliamentarians from the inheritance faction are indeed not as serious as those of the five old bones.

Perhaps it was the selection style of the inherited faction, as these five people were selected by the previous generation of councillors from orphans in the outer city.

After becoming members of parliament, they were obviously more inclined to enjoy themselves and expand their power, unlike their predecessors who were always ready to carry out small actions such as assassinations.

Hearing that they would not have to die, the five people sitting in the dock breathed a sigh of relief. But then they thought of working in factories or mines until they died, and they felt a chill in their hearts again.

Among the five, Zhong Ding and Bordeaux were the calmest. One of them completely sided with Arthur and chose to surrender, while the other was already quite old and always felt that he would not suffer for long.

The other three slightly younger people fell into endless depression after a brief moment of relief.

Just as the trial was about to end, several people in the audience below suddenly moved.

The status of the few super-powered people cultivated privately by those congressmen is similar to that of Yan Ming now.

Knowing full well that it is impossible to turn the situation around, these people, either out of genuine loyalty or fear of the impending reckoning, actually want to make some final noise to add more program effects to today's live broadcast.

Shi Jin just looked at the super-powered person beside him. His entire body turned red and hot visibly, and bright colors gradually permeated his skin. It seemed as if he was about to explode on the spot in the next second.

Just as she was about to use her ability to protect the people around her, she felt something soft on her right hand.

Shi Jin looked down and saw a familiar calico cat appeared beside her. Following the cat's paw principle, one of its paws was pulled out from under her hand and placed above her:

"Don't worry, your mission is accomplished."

As Fran said this, she turned into a ball of chaos and swallowed up Shi Jin who was sitting on the chair.

There were more than a dozen super-powered people who showed unusual behavior. Some of them chose to explode into a firework like the one next to Shi Jin, while others planned to commit suicide on the spot because there were too many negative rumors about them.

Unfortunately, none of them achieved their goal because someone acted much faster than them.
