Secret: The Witch's House Traitor

Even though Count Hall's assets of tens of millions were taken away by nine-tenths without any reason, leaving only one-tenth, barely less than one million in assets, Audrey still did not plead with Lin Nuo, even though she knew that Lin Nuo was the emperor of the empire and that if she asked for help, she could get some care from Lin Nuo.

She still did not let her family's private affairs shake the order established by the new empire.

Although the eldest brother Hibbert was very unwilling and his father Earl Hall stood in the study all night, his father still did not allow his eldest brother to vent his emotions. His father also gathered all the family members and showed everyone the ancient gold coin that Mr. Lover gave to his father.

Back then, my father gave Mr. Lover and the Tarot Club an investment of 100,000 pounds.

Mr. Lover gave Dad an ancient gold coin in return, and the Hall family retained nearly one-tenth of the property.

Earl Hall agreed with this result and even felt fortunate.

Eldest brother Hibbert did not agree and wanted to ask the church for justice. However, when the clergy of the Church of Evernight and the law enforcement officers of the Empire appeared in the newspapers together, the young noble master fell silent and his face turned pale.

If this were the case in the past, Audrey would have been furious, thinking that Lin Nuo had betrayed their friendship. How could he easily deprive her family of their legitimate property? This was all earned by her father, Earl Hall, through hard work, not by plunder or other means.

However, when Lin Nuo took this noble lady through the history of the Hall family's rise, and walked through these legal assets, and the insignificant sacrifices in the process of accumulation...

Audrey shut herself in...she felt like every little piece of cake she ate was covered in thick frosting.

She felt that Lin Nuo liked her and was very grateful for his care. If it weren't for their friendship, not even one tenth of the Hall family would have stayed.

Later, Audrey learned that although the Hall family had lost its title and Earl Hall had lost shares in several banks, he was hired as an investment consultant for several banks. Herbert Hall's position on the Atmospheric Committee was not directly removed, and Alfred Hall could continue to develop in the military.

The broken heart of this noble lady who was carried like a princess was filled with something else.

The frosting is quite sweet.

The current Miss Justice is still quite just after being broken once.

“I was indeed involved in the formulation of the relevant bill.”

"Let these people who have made mistakes undergo labor reform and psychological education."

"I have thought about whether these people can turn over a new leaf, start a new life and not make the same mistakes again."

"In order to protect the legitimate rights and interests of these people, we need to pay corresponding remuneration even if it means labor reform."

"At the same time, long-term labor reform may cause these people to lose their original jobs. We should also take the initiative to consider this issue for these people..."

Miss Justice's overly "just" words surprised everyone.

"World" Klein held his forehead with one hand, feeling that this outrageous empire would be destroyed sooner or later without the Black Emperor's military suppression.

No wonder the new empire has not been officially established until now. It would be strange if such a bizarre punishment measure was not sent back for re-enactment and could be directly issued, right?

"Judge" Xio frowned slightly. How come she had never heard of such an outrageous decree?

The Hanged Man Alger looked at Audrey Justice and knew that a noble lady like Miss Justice who was out of touch with the grassroots would come up with laws that were definitely not realistic.

"So, in order to protect the prisoners' human rights and keep their jobs, we allow prisoners to continue working in their workplaces. After completing the basic eight hours, they can do two more hours of voluntary labor. The wages for voluntary labor are paid according to the minimum standard, and the normal eight hours' wages are used to pay for the corresponding psychological counseling for the prisoners."

"Justice" Audrey completed the unfinished words.

This was a punishment measure she had thought about for a long time.

She wanted to solve the problem, but she didn't want to expand it.

In this way, the prisoners can not only keep their actions, but also participate in voluntary labor to atone their sins. Voluntary labor will also bring a little salary, which protects the legal rights and interests of the prisoners. In addition, the prisoners can also receive psychological counseling from professional psychologists at a very favorable price.

It's perfect, and everyone has a bright future.

After Audrey finished speaking, she looked at the others expectantly, hoping to get an evaluation.

silence...

The Tarot Club fell into deathly silence for a moment, as if everyone was shocked by Miss Justice's astonishing discovery.

The look in World Klein's eyes when he looked at Justice Audrey was surprisingly strange and confused.

Murder and heart-wrenching?

So cruel? Who did you learn this from? Are you still the Miss Justice I know?

Klein simply didn't know how to complain about this punishment.

Isn't this too trifling? Isn't this too vicious?

Working ten hours a day, but only getting less than half the salary for two hours?

And you have to endure the pain of paying a psychologist to torture yourself?

With ten hours a day like this, how long will it take the psychologist to treat him?

You have considered keeping the prisoner's job, but have you ever considered protecting his reputation?

Is this really not a public execution?

Because he was caught soliciting prostitution, he had to work for free at his original position the next day. His colleagues all went out drinking after get off work, but he still had to work overtime. Was he being taught a lesson?

Such a gloomy thing was actually proposed by the kind-hearted Miss Justice?

Miss Justice, how deeply have you been corrupted by that guy Lin Nuo?

Klein roared in his heart.

The more he looked at it, the more he felt that this empire was a child's play.

But the ruling class of this empire is an alliance of several Sequence 0s, and the top nobles of this empire are several angel families. As long as Lin Nuo does not destroy the belief system of the gods, he can do whatever he wants. There may not even be a cough to signal him to restrain himself.

This country filled with malice will end sooner or later.

Klein commented again that he felt that Lino had divided this so-called new empire.

Lin Nuo manages the middle and lower classes in the real world in the same way that Silver City manages its city-states.

The upper level is still the traditional extraordinary system, with high sequence, big fists and loud voices.

What will this country become in the future?

The issue of confused beliefs alone is a big problem.

Klein seemed to be able to see the Black Emperor sweeping away all those who disobeyed him with his fists.

If there is a problem, then solve the person who created it, right?

“Well, I also participated in the discussion of the amount of the fine.”

"My proposal is six pounds."

'Justice' added with a sweet smile.

Chapter 569: The Lord of the Void Realm, the Second Law

Audrey's innocent smile seemed like the devil to everyone...the witch was smiling.

There was still a hint of sadness in her eyes, as if she was wondering if she was being too kind and if her fellow Tarot Club members would misunderstand her and think that she was still the naive and somewhat funny noble lady.

This time she seriously investigated the living conditions of ordinary people in the East District.

Originally, she wanted to set the fine at 100 pounds, which was also to better protect the ladies at the lower level. However, considering the reality, Audrey controlled her inner impulse and set different fines for people of different classes.

How many?

6 pounds?

Klein looked at Miss Justice with a somewhat dazed look.

If "Justice" Audrey said it was 100 pounds, Klein would definitely think Audrey was joking.

But at £6, that might actually happen.

6 pounds! That's 6 pounds!

How much can you buy with £6?

Benson first worked as a clerk in a foreign trade company, with a weekly salary of just over 1 pound, less than 2 pounds.

Klein had just joined the Blackthorn Security Company and had not yet officially become a Beyonder. Before he was transferred from a civilian to a Night Watcher responsible for handling special matters, his weekly salary did not reach 3 pounds. He became a Sequence 8 Joker and handled dangerous Beyonder incidents as a Night Watcher, and his weekly salary finally exceeded 6 pounds.

For a middle-class family like the landlady's, Mrs. Summers would show off implicitly even if she bought a piece of jewelry worth 3 pounds.

With a weekly salary of 6 pounds, even in Backlund, one could live a relatively decent life and perhaps even hire a maid.

If Miss Justice's proposal is finally implemented, those at the bottom of society will lose a month's income if they are arrested once. The meager salary from voluntary labor may only be enough to cover the low rent and ensure that they can go to work every day and not starve to death at the job.

Even the lowest class in Backlund have almost no savings. Even if they do, it is definitely not much, perhaps only a few pounds. A fine of 6 pounds per time, isn't this going to cost the lives of those at the bottom?

How was such a high-stakes fine calculated?

For a transaction of a few soli, he took the high risk of being fined 6 pounds.

This is likely to destroy the industry.

"Ms. Justice, you probably don't know how many women in Backlund are engaged in the street prostitution industry."

“This is not a problem that can be solved by fines.”

“The world,” Klein suggested tactfully.

Two-thirds might be a bit too much, but one-third is definitely too little.

Even many women who have become middle class have worked part-time as streetwalkers in order to make a living.

If the livelihood problems of these people are not solved, the survival of those street girls will become even more difficult.

Where in Backlund are there so many jobs for so many streetwalkers to switch careers?

"Mr. World, I have read the general statistical reports and know the situation you want to describe."

"But what I want to say is that you probably don't know how huge the combined assets of all the nobles in Backlund are."

Audrey “Justice” politely responded to Klein “The World”.

The total population of Backlund does not exceed 200 million. The number of street girls cannot possibly exceed the total population, right?

The Earl of Hall and his family provided nearly 900 million pounds in assets.

There is more than one multimillionaire of Earl Hall's size.

The Conservative Party's moneybag, Baron Sindras, is also a famous multi-millionaire.

Almost all members of the New Party and the Core Party can be found to have assets worth millions.

Although the Conservative Party does not have much cash, it has a lot of land.

Although the prices of these lands have depreciated, they are still lands. Even the Church of Mother Earth has joined in person. How can these lands not be able to grow enough food?

To put it more extremely, if the total food production is not enough in a short period of time, the Pope of the Church of Mother Earth, Sequence Two, the Mistress of Desolation, Roland, will go to farm personally. The angels and saints of the Church of Mother Earth, and the three surviving creators of the blood race, will all go to farm, leaving enough inventory for the empire to squander before returning to their high and mighty state.

The one who has money, food, executive power, and the ability to kill people, and who is in charge of the overall planning is Maozi Adam...

Doesn’t this solve the problem of prostitutes changing their careers?

The "lover" just didn't believe it. He thought to himself that if he ordered the angels of the Church of Mother Earth and the three dukes of the blood race to do something, what would Lilith think? He laid out the targets, and perhaps the saints of these two families could lead the mid- and low-sequence extraordinary people to work overtime and solve the problem, without the need for the angels to show up in person.

"Ms. Justice, I don't understand what you mean."

"World" Klein was stunned. I'm talking to you about the number of street prostitutes, and you're talking to me about the total assets of the Loen nobles?

Did the “lover” really hang all the nobles of Loen on the street lamps?

"World" Klein looked at "Justice" Audrey. This feeling was not very similar. Even if the "lover" let the Hall family go, Audrey would probably feel a little sad when she saw her former relatives and friends bleeding, right?

Why is she so calm now?

"Mr. World, the Kingdom of Loen has been dissolved. The Loen royal family and the Augustus family have abdicated. There are no nobles in Backlund anymore. Before the Augustus family officially abdicated, the Augustus family sent a royal representative, Duchess Georgina."

"She, together with Ms. Yalishia Tamara of the Tamara family, tried all the nobles who violated the laws of the Kingdom of Loen. All the nobles who violated the laws of Loen received the appropriate punishment, and most of their assets were confiscated. However, not all the members of the noble families were implicated. According to the severity of the crimes, they were allowed to retain a small portion of their property."

"So, the current New Empire government is very rich, very rich, and owns a large number of banks, land, ranches, factories, and mines. This is something that even the former Augustus family could not do, because the Augustus family also donated a large amount of wealth to the New Empire government."

Audrey "Justice" explained to Klein, the "world" who had never returned.

She had personally watched the trial scene. The Sequence 7 interrogator of the Arbiter Path used the Whip of Pain to force the nobles, most of whom were ordinary people, to confess everything they had done. These nobles were not wrongly accused. Although Audrey felt a little reluctant, she still accepted these familiar people. In the end, as a Loen noble, she was tried and executed by the representatives of the Loen royal family according to the laws of the Loen Kingdom.

At least their families were able to keep a small amount of wealth.

As for young nobles like Viscount Glint, who only ate and drank and did not break the law, he did not suffer any torture except for having some of his assets taken away.

"Justice" Audrey can accept such an outcome, which is already good enough.

She also hoped that the confiscated wealth could help more ordinary people live a better life, and thus pay off some of the sins committed by the dead nobles during their lifetime.

"A trial completed by the Augustus family and the Tamara family together?"

"World" Klein felt a little unbelievable.
