Chapter 519: Judgment

Although he had a lot of opinions about Kingsley, the Auror Office Commander still understood the priorities of the matter, so he quickly found the three Aurors.

However, due to the identities of the three Aurors, the Auror Commander adhered to the idea that family disgrace should not be made public and did not hand them over to the Department of Magical Law Enforcement for trial as in normal cases, but detained them in the Auror Department Trial Chamber inside the Ministry of Magic for internal interrogation.

When they were first brought here, the three Aurors thought that there was a new task for them to do, but soon they found that something was wrong, because the colleagues around them who used to laugh and joke now had a serious expression on their faces, and their wands never left their palms, which made them slowly become a little uneasy.

"Brother... Brother, I say, what is going on?"

As the captain of the three-person team, the brown-haired Auror asked with some confusion, but no one in the huge trial chamber gave him an answer.

He smacked his lips and was about to continue asking questions when he saw the door of the courtroom suddenly opened and a group of wizards in formal attire walked in quickly, led by Kingsley and the Auror Commander.

Seeing this, the three Aurors seemed to have thought of something and broke out in a cold sweat.

"Pah!"

A crisp sound rang out.

Kingsley threw a stack of newspapers on the brown-haired Auror's head and shouted,

"What the hell is going on?!"

The brown-haired Auror was a little confused by the blow and instinctively lowered his head, but his eyes fell on the newspaper on the ground.

At this time, the newspaper was playing the scene of the three of them killing Loya.

The only trace of luck in their hearts was not eliminated, and the three Aurors finally realized that the previous matter was exposed!

They looked sad and instinctively wanted to refute, but they didn't expect Kingsley didn't want to listen to their nonsense at all, and said directly:

"Forget it, I don't have time to listen to your nonsense, come here, give me their memories at that time!"

The face of the brown-haired Auror fell suddenly, and the other two Aurors collapsed directly, and began to beg Kingsley for mercy. You

have to know that they have done more than one bad thing before. If someone extracts their memories at will, then even those things may be exposed.

But their performance at this moment just proves that they are guilty, which makes Kingsley and several Ministry of Magic officials who are beside him sneer on their faces, and even the commander of the Auror Office who was ready to speak for them at the beginning shut up.

Soon, with the help of the Memory Erasure Department, the memory images of the three Aurors were displayed in front of everyone.

Looking at the image that is no different from the newspaper, Kingsley's ears are red with anger.

He really didn't expect that there would be an Auror who would do such a thing worse than an animal.

"Great! You are really good guards!" Kingsley laughed in anger, "According to Article 101 of the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, anyone who uses the Unforgivable Curse on a wizard without authorization shall be sentenced to life imprisonment in Azkaban. Article 145 stipulates that anyone who rapes a wizard shall be sentenced to life imprisonment. Article 78 stipulates that anyone who intentionally kills a wizard shall be sentenced to death. Hehehe! Now that all the Dementors have defected, it's easy for you! For multiple crimes, I declare that you will be sentenced to death and executed immediately!"

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar at the scene, and the three Aurors even wet their pants.

No one doubted that Kingsley's judgment was wrong. After all, Kingsley himself was an old official who had worked in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement for many years and was already familiar with various legal provisions.

But such a straightforward death sentence still made everyone feel a little bit wrong.

This... seems a bit too fast!

But in the face of the uproar of the crowd, Kingsley did not waver at all.

The most important thing now is to solve the problem in the hall of the Ministry of Magic. It is a good deal to abandon the three Aurors for this. He wanted to do this from the beginning. Now that the evidence of the crimes of these three people is conclusive, it will save him trouble.

The other Aurors in the courtroom all looked at their commander. They really didn't want to carry out Kingsley's order to kill their colleagues.

But they were not needed in this matter. When the wizards from the Department of Magical Law Enforcement heard their old boss's order, they didn't hesitate at all. They picked up their wands and walked towards the three Aurors.

At this moment, a roar came from the crowd behind Kingsley.

"Wait!"

Everyone turned their heads and saw an old man with white hair raising his hand and shouting at everyone.

"There is something fishy about this!" The old man pointed to the memory screen that was being played and said, "Look, every time this brown-haired Auror launched an attack, there would always be a flash of purple light in his eyes! This is abnormal. I have reason to believe that they were controlled by some kind of spell at the time, and that's why they committed such a crime!"

After that, the old man also winked at the three Aurors in a very covert way, and the three of them were also tactful and repeatedly argued that they didn't know what happened at the time.

The old man showed a teachable look on his face, and then he said to Kingsley with a serious face:

"Kingsley, you are still too young. When judging a case, you can't just look at the surface, but also dig deep into its depths. In view of the hidden secrets in this case, I think it is better to hand it over to the Wizengamot Council for judgment. What do you think?"

At this moment, Kingsley was shaking with anger.

He knew this old wizard. He was the uncle of the brown-haired Auror and also a member of the Wizengamot. Now that he had said this, the meaning behind it was self-evident.

If he had turned a blind eye in the past, it would have been fine. But now the situation was so urgent, and the other party was actually going against him! ?

Kingsley felt like he was about to vomit, but in the end, he calmed down and agreed to the other party's request.

There was no way. The other party's request was very normal. Strictly speaking, his previous actions were against the rules.

Moreover, the other party was also a member of the Wizengamot. It would be too easy for a councillor from a big family like this to kill him afterwards!

Seeing Kingsley nod, the three Aurors cheered immediately.

Kingsley glared at the old wizard fiercely, then slammed the door angrily and returned to his office.

But when he returned to the office, he found that his assistant was walking around the office like an ant on a hot pot. When he saw him, he immediately came up to him and said anxiously:

"Mr. Minister! It's bad! The editors of the Daily Prophet, the Daily Wizard and the Daily Discovery all rejected their request! They are only willing to help us cover up a little!"

Kingsley felt that his eyes went dark when he heard this, and he almost fell to the ground.

After panting for a while, he roared:

"This is too much! I will go myself!"

After saying that, he walked out the door again, but he turned back after just two steps and ordered his assistant:

"Go to St. Mungo's to invite Minister Scrimgeour back! Tell him that I can't hold on any longer here!"

...

When the sun rose as usual the next morning, more protesters appeared in the hall of the Ministry of Magic.

This time, they were not sent by Mike, but ordinary Muggle wizards who came spontaneously.

Benjamin, who was at the scene, looked at the wizards who kept coming out of the fireplace to join their team, and his mouth was almost split with laughter.

Like Benjamin and others, these people also held newspapers in their hands, but the newspapers in their hands were different from the tabloids in Benjamin's hands, but the serious Daily Prophet.

Obviously, Kingsley's visit did not have any practical effect. Today, the covers of major traditional wizard newspapers were all full of reports about the ** crowd that appeared in the hall of the Ministry of Magic yesterday.

Perhaps because they did not want to offend the Ministry of Magic completely, the traditional newspaper giants represented by the Daily Prophet used a lot of rhetorical techniques and words such as probably, perhaps, and should in their reports.

This move seemed to save face for the Ministry of Magic, but in fact it did not have any practical effect, because most wizards usually ignored those rhetorical techniques when reading newspapers and believed the content inside.

This is what Mike wanted. Through the spread of traditional newspapers such as the Daily Prophet, he not only let more Muggle wizards know about the tragic experience of the Loya family, but also let them know that a large group of brave pioneers had come to the Ministry of Magic to protest because they were dissatisfied with the Ministry of Magic. Humans

have always liked to follow the crowd, and the idea that the law does not punish the masses is directly engraved in human DNA. With Benjamin and others having set an example for them, there will definitely be more and more protesters who will come spontaneously. It will be the moment when the Ministry of Magic will be really overwhelmed. As

more and more protesters came, Benjamin's team had reached a very large scale by the afternoon.

Their large number has even affected the normal operation of the Ministry of Magic.

But despite this, Kingsley still did not come up with any countermeasures. He could only urge the Wizengamot Council to open the court while expecting Scrimgeour to return.

This was not an easy task, because many members of the Wizengamot Council had already left the Kingdom to avoid Voldemort, and the family of the brown-haired Auror was still constantly obstructing the convening of the Wizengamot meeting, which meant that when the trial was over and everything was settled, it had been nearly three days.

After the trial, Kingsley sat in the office alone for a whole day and night. He had no intention of informing the people in the hall of the trial results, because he knew very well that the trial results would not satisfy the other party at all.

In the past few days, Benjamin and others have withdrawn from the Ministry of Magic in batches. This was an order issued by Mike. He believed that since the snowball had already rolled, Benjamin and others did not need to continue to waste time there.

And Mike also received news that Scrimgeour had been discharged from the hospital and returned to the Ministry of Magic, which made Mike instinctively feel uneasy. You know, Scrimgeour, a guy from the military, is different from Kingsley. Facing the rebels, he is likely to use tough measures to directly suppress them.

The facts are just as Mike expected.

On the second day after Benjamin and his companions evacuated the Ministry of Magic, Kingsley finally appeared in the lobby of the Ministry of Magic. Along with him appeared Scrimgeour, who was still wrapped in a lot of bandages, and a large number of Aurors and strikers.

Those ferocious Aurors and strikers made the protesters in the lobby instinctively realize that something was wrong, but out of curiosity about the trial results, they still pretended to be calm and stood on the opposite side of Scrimgeour.

This was obviously not a good choice, because Scrimgeour had no intention of negotiating with them. He waved his hand coldly and shouted:

"Everyone! Attack!"

With Scrimgeour's order, all Aurors and strikers raised their wands, and countless fluorescent lights suddenly exploded, directly dispersing the protesters!

In front of the well-trained Aurors and strikers, this group of Muggle wizards was no match at all.

Facing the screaming and wailing crowd in the hall, Scrimgeour was not moved at all. At this moment, he was staring at Kingsley fiercely, and his expression seemed to want to eat him directly.

He really couldn't help but be angry.

He was recovering from his injuries at St. Mungo's, but Kingsley suddenly called him back, and he had to face such a big trouble as soon as he returned.

Scrimgeour really regretted letting Kingsley be the temporary minister. In his opinion, this matter was too simple. He only needed to send military force to suppress it in the early stage. Anyway, the social status of those Muggle wizards was pitifully low, so he just needed to stun them.

But Kingsley not only allowed these people to make trouble in the hall of the Ministry of Magic, but even more exaggeratedly, Kingsley, this idiot, couldn't even suppress newspapers such as the Daily Prophet, causing the matter to spread.

Now the whole world knows about this matter, and their Ministry of Magic has lost face!

Scrimgeour became more and more angry as he thought about it, and his expression became more and more ferocious.

And Kingsley seemed to realize that something was wrong, and silently took two steps back.

However, the flying kick he expected did not come. Scrimgeour just glared at him for a while, and then said to the Auror Office Director beside him:

"After all these people are thrown out, seal half of the entrance to the Ministry of Magic's Floo Network. From now on, all those who want to enter the Ministry of Magic must undergo strict inspection!" "

Yes! Sir!"

The Auror Office Director replied with a serious expression, and then went down to execute the order.

At this moment, Kingsley saw that Scrimgeour seemed to be in a good mood, so he slowly came over and asked carefully:

"Minister, what about the trial result?"

It would have been better if he hadn't said anything. As soon as Kingsley mentioned this, Scrimgeour's anger was ignited again. He kicked Kingsley out with one foot, and the trial result fell to the ground again.

There were countless letters written on the brand new parchment, and the most obvious one was the boldest words at the bottom.

'... Because Reed Colin, Perkin Lawrence and Haggai Harvey were under the control of an unknown spell at the time of the incident and had no self-judgment ability. After a show of hands vote by the Wizengamot Council, the above three people are hereby found not guilty and released on the spot. '

Looking at the big words, Scrimgeour took a deep breath, and then he picked it up with difficulty, modified it on it, and returned it to Kingsley.

"Publish it according to what I wrote!"

"Yes! I know!"

Kingsley said respectfully, bowing his waist, while his eyes were still on the trial result.

There was only a black block that was blacked out and a scribbled word on it - life imprisonment.
