Blackstone Code Chapter 1262: Testimonial
Sitting in the dock, the eldest prince looked back at the prosecutor's constantly flipping lips and recalled the initial appearance of the incident.
A landowner from a remote country has some money in his hand. I heard from somewhere that money is better in a big city, and in a short period of time, he caught up with a businessman from the imperial capital.
There are no "capitalists" in Gavra, at least officially.
All merchants are like lambs raised by God. They are not dangerous at all. When the nobles need them, they will shave their wool.
These lambs have tried to resist at different times, and the ending has never been unexpected. All lambs have become roasted whole lambs.
So the Lamb learned to be low-key and obedient.
In this power-based country, capitalists will never be able to make waves.
So there are no fierce capitalists here, only docile lamb merchants.
The country landowner quickly used his foolish and hypocritical face to deceive many people and gain some friendships.
He was introduced to a job, a thankless job, building cheap apartments.
Gavra also has low-cost apartments, but this one is essentially different from federal low-cost apartments.
In federal low-cost apartments, tenants only need to pay no more than 50%, and most of the time they only need to pay 20% to 30% of the rent to be able to rent it.
The rest are covered by various financial subsidies, such as low-cost apartments in Sabine, where people can make a good living for their families by paying only one-third of the rent.
The City Treasurer will pay the remaining 60 percent.
Of course, when discussing this issue, it is not necessary to consider how the federal capitalists use low-cost apartments to convey benefits and obtain wealth, at least it solves the problem of food and clothing for many people.
In Gavra, the tenements are like a kind of... superficial work.
A very important link, capitalists, is missing here, so that local governments are not so interested in building cheap apartments.
After all, the more people living there, the greater the pressure on the city's finances. Building as little as possible is the most correct choice.
And the profit of this kind of project is not much, far less than the two million profit that the prosecutor said.
Damn it, the landlord lost hundreds of thousands of dollars after finishing the project!
He built this project, in fact, to get in touch with the nobles.
The reason why this matter is related to the First Prince is because at that time the First Prince was actively establishing a positive image of himself.
He is the destined heir to the throne, a single husband who relied on slaughtering his brothers and sisters to ascend to the throne.
The eldest prince after reaching adulthood has to establish his image as "Mingjun" in front of the people of Gafra.
Some charitable projects, rescue projects, are obviously very good choices.
You don't need him to spend any money and get some benefits, and you can sell your reputation for being wise and caring for the people. Why refuse?
He's had a lot of "names" for similar projects, and of course the country landowner got what he wanted.
Although he lost money.
The eldest prince's eyes turned slightly, and there was a mockery in his eyes when he looked at the prosecutor, as if he was mocking a man who should have told the truth, but just for political reasons, he began to lie.
At this time, the first prince's brain turned very fast, so fast that he began to perceive the world with a very clear feeling.
The prosecutor looked a little uncomfortable by his eyes. He turned his head and glanced at the chief prosecutor out of the corner of his eye.
The chief inspector had a stern face and lowered eyes, ignoring his gaze.
"If you want, I can call a witness, the businessman."
The eldest prince still has a disdainful expression on his face, "He can betray and frame me, and he will betray you and you in the future."
"Today you stand on the beheading stand from the perspective of an executioner and question me. One day in the future, you will stand by me and accept the judgment of others."
His remarks made the prosecutor a little scared and a little angry, and he felt that he was being underestimated.
The overthrow of the royal family is the unanimous will of all nobles, and no one can easily change this process.
He pretended to be fierce and pressed, "It seems that the first prince does not admit his fault, and I ask the judge to call witnesses."
The Prosecutor turns around, looks at the Chancellor and bows in a salute.
In Gavra, the justices are also held by nobles.
The justice nodded, granting the prosecutor's request, and a chubby businessman appeared on the witness stand.
"He doesn't look like he's been beaten." Lynch, who was sitting in the gallery, came to this conclusion after careful observation.
"There is no problem with the posture when walking, and there is no problem with the expression and eyes. The first prince is in big trouble."
Lynch learned a lot of interesting knowledge in the small room, such as how to judge a person's state through the details of some demeanor.
When a person can make a decision to betray without any severe torture, it means that the betrayal will be very complete.
Even this businessman would like the royal family to be completely destroyed more than the nobles, otherwise it will be him!
There was a smug smile on the prosecutor's face that was not so careful, and he took advantage of the process of turning around to clean up his expression.
He walked up to the businessman and asked, "Please put your hand on the Bible and swear that everything you say is true and there are no lies."
The businessman nearly covered the Bible with his chubby palms, hilariously and somewhat solemnly swearing that he would never lie.
The prosecutor was satisfied with his expression and attitude when he took the oath, and then asked, "Tell me about the transaction between you and the first prince..."
As the businessman narrated, there were occasional exclamations from the back of the auditorium.
Don't be curious, those are ordinary people, commoners, imperial citizens, call them whatever you want, in short, they are not nobles.
Only the commoners would exclaim, and the nobles sitting in front of them all knew that everything the businessman said was false!
Yes, everyone knows it, because the rules of the game have been in place at Gavra for hundreds of years.
There are people like this around every noble. They try their best to please the nobles, but they just hope that when they encounter trouble in business, they can say something like "I have cooperated with ..." to avoid risks.
For this reason, they are willing to pay some profits. After all, they also know that taking advantage of the prestige of the nobles cannot be free.
Everyone knows that the eldest prince was framed, but the person who knew the truth was the one who framed him, which is very... sad.
The grief of the First Prince and the Royal Family.
"Enough..."
The eldest prince interrupted when the businessman talked about taking his sister's daughter naked and presenting it to the eldest prince.
There was a contradiction and embarrassment on the businessman's face, as well as a timid and humble smile. When the first prince looked at him, he humbly lowered his head and did not dare to meet the first prince's gaze.
"Read on to my next indictment." His face lost expression, only disappointment and numbness.
Disappointment means he is immature, numbness means he is still immature.
When the prosecutor wanted to continue asking the eldest prince whether he admitted to the first count, the chief prosecutor gave him a sideways look.
Humans, like many animals, are not always good at static vision, but better at dynamic vision.
It was such a subtle change that was captured by the prosecutor.
He skipped the question and began to read the second count of the eldest prince.
For most of the day, with the exception of a few crimes that lacked witnesses, almost all others had witnesses to testify against the crimes committed by the First Prince in these cases!
When he left, Lynch could already imagine what the whole Gavra would be like when the new day arrived!
The collapse of faith may be a bit exaggerated, but there is only one point. In fact, many people do believe in the royal family.
After a group of scientists failed to prove the existence of gods in various ways and atheism flourished, even the faith of the royal family collapsed, what a terrible time!
Just when the public opinion of the whole Gavra started to ferment rapidly, Lynch sat opposite His Excellency the Prime Minister again.
Only this time, not as a nobleman, but as a federal diplomat.
"I was thinking when I saw you come in, I must call Mr. Trueman after today's negotiation and ask him to replace him!"
The Prime Minister's smile is not strong, but a little weaker than a smile, "I thought my opponents didn't know much about the issues we needed to talk about, but I didn't expect that I actually met 'my own person'!"
Lynch knows the current Gavra very well. He has many noble friends, which means that the Prime Minister has no way to hide any information from Lynch during the negotiation process.
The amount of profit from the negotiation is often related to the amount of information in hand ~IndoMTL.com~ As the "landlord" and the person who gives the purpose of the negotiation, the Prime Minister should obviously have a certain advantage.
But these advantages disappeared after facing Lynch.
Lynch was playing with the pen used to record words in his hand, and his eyes met the Prime Minister, gentle, reserved, and strong.
"Isn't this just right?", he asked rhetorically, "I know enough about Gavra and the Federation, and I can clear up some misunderstandings between us that shouldn't exist, and should not exist, I'm the most suitable person!"
His Excellency the Prime Minister laughed twice, very perfunctory. From these two simple voices, he could hear a counterattack like "Fuck you."
Lynch also snorted twice, probably meaning "the brain is a good thing", as if someone couldn't.
The perfunctory smile on the Prime Minister's face subsided. He first said sorry, then put on his reading glasses, looked at the document in his hand, and then took off his glasses and looked at Lynch, "We need food... …”
