Chapter 139 Chapter Forty-Three

How did Grandeur understand Bridevar's judgment of the dice Having said this, Bridvar ended his confession.Tranka Mayer told him to leave the courtroom.He quit as ordered.Trancarmeyer said to Panagure: "Your Majesty, according to the instructions of reason, not only because of the gratitude of the court here and all the domains of Millange, but also because of the wisdom, decisiveness and profoundness bestowed on Your Highness by God, the Bestower of all bounties, we invite Your Highness to adjudicate Bo The case of Ridvar so new, so weird and bizarre. Bridwar admitted in front of His Royal Highness that he used dice to try the lawsuit, and he thought His Highness had seen and heard it.We ask His Royal Highness to grant a verdict as His Royal Highness deems fair and reasonable. "

Grandeur said: "Everyone knows that I am not a judge. But, since Montaigne, give me this honor, I can't do the referee, so I will be a petitioner. "I think there are a few traits in Bridvar that seem to warrant pardoning him for their sake. First, his age; second, his simplicity, which alone, you understand, Our statutes and statutes pardon and pardon many faults; and thirdly, I also see that, even apart from the law, it is also beneficial to Bridvar, that is, the fair judgment he has done in the past It seems that this one mistake can be made up, offset and cancelled. For more than forty years, he has nothing to blame. It is like pouring a drop of sea water into the Royal River. For this drop of water, there is no How do people feel, and no one will say that the river is salty.

"It seems to me that some miraculous force, I know not what, has made this noble and venerable court think that his past judgments are just. You know, God often judges the stupidity of the wise and the strength of the strong. In weakness, in the nobility of the weak and the humble, reveals his glory. "Leaving aside these matters, I only ask you—don't look at what you said you owe my family. In the defense of your country and dignity on both sides of the Royal, pardon him this time on two conditions. First, that he satisfy, or promise to satisfy, the party condemned in this cause. In this regard, I will try my best to help him. Second, you appoint a young, strong, knowledgeable, wise, capable, and well-behaved assistant to help him with his official duties, so that he can rely on him in future litigation.

"In case you don't want him and remove him from his duties, I ask you to give him to me. I can find something for him with me and use him. Finally, may God the merciful Creator, the Keeper of all grace and The giver, bless you forever." After finishing his speech, Paiguguet nodded to those in the courtroom, and then left the courtroom.Panurge, Ibis Demond, Brother John and others were waiting for him at the door.They mounted their horses and went back to Gao Kangda. Along the way, Paiguguay told them all about the trial of Bridvar.Brother John said that he had met Belland Dandin at Fontenay-le-Comte, when the abbot was Abbe Ardion.Jimnast said that the Gasconian had happened to be in the tent of the big Christian, Knight of Chryse, when he answered the provocation of the "volunteers."Panurge was not convinced by dice, especially when it took so long.Ebisdemon said to Panagure:

"It was once said that Montléry, a magistrate, used this method. But do you believe that the case was tried with dice for such a long time, and it was tried so successfully? I don't wonder if a case or two does it now and then. Especially those cases that are difficult to understand, have complicated circumstances, and cannot be tried clearly.” ① Montléry: the name of a place near Paris.
