Yaxley was about to open his mouth to justify what he had just said.
But Erwin had no intention of giving him a chance.
He continued, "My second question is also about the condition that Patriarch Yaxley just mentioned. Our prices must be consistent with Yaxley's! As far as I know, as early as thirty years ago, the Ministry of Magic had a regulation that all shops in Diagon Alley were not allowed to sell at prices higher than the market price, but there was no lower limit. In other words, even if I lose money, I will not break the law in the slightest! On the contrary, Patriarch Yaxley, according to the laws of Diagon Alley, no one is allowed to interfere with prices in any form! Am I right, Minister Fudge?"
Fudge's eyes widened.
He looked at the Auror beside him.
The Auror was very sensible and was flipping through the book quickly.
After a moment, he nodded to Fudge.
Fudge understood that there really was such a law.
None of his ministers noticed these things, but Erwin actually noticed them.
Erwin looked at Chief Yaxley leisurely.
Every word and every step of Chief Yaxley was within Erwin's estimation.
So, Erwin was already prepared to deal with it.
Chief Yaxley stared at Erwin intently.
At this moment, he seemed to understand why his master, the Solent family, had said that among the top four families, the Cavendish family was the most terrifying.
At that time, he still didn't understand that the Cavendish family, which had been passed down from generation to generation and had the smallest population, had nothing to be afraid of.
But now he understands.
The reason why it is passed down from generation to generation is because the heirs of each generation of the Cavendish family are very terrible, and just one person is enough.
Erwin continued, "So, I think the Yaxley family's conditions are unreasonable, Minister Fudge, what do you think?"
Fudge nodded. "Well, that makes sense! Chief Yaxley, you should think about it again!"
Patriarch Yaxley looked at Fudge.
His eyes were full of anger.
Fudge still looked at him fearlessly.
The Yaxleys understood.
Fudge has now been blinded by power and feels that his rights are threatened.
So he entered a state of dementia, and at this time, he no longer cared about being a good dog.
He just wanted to take the opportunity to suppress the Yaxley family.
The Yaxley family patriarch snorted coldly and said, "Then I wonder what the Cavendish family wants? The culprit is dead now. Wizards fought each other, people died, and the Ministry of Magic arrested them according to the law. That's the explanation! The Yaxley family is just lax in their management of their subordinates, that's all!"
Fudge nodded.
He also felt that what Chief Yaxley said made sense.
After all, as a fence-sitter, he has always done things this way.
Elvin said, "Then, I have another question! I remember Minister Fudge saying that the Yaxley family said that since John went to Yaxley Manor on behalf of the Cavendish family, he would be considered a member of the wizarding world. Even if he has no magical powers, as long as he enters the wizarding world, he is still considered a member of the wizarding world. Is that right?"
Fudge nodded: "That's right!"
Erwin said, "Then, if we follow what Master Yaxley said, does that mean that once someone enters the wizarding world, they have shed their Muggle identity, regardless of whether they possess magical powers or not!"
Fudge nodded again.
He felt like something was wrong, but he couldn't think too much about it, because this was the reason Yaxley had come up with to get away with it, and naturally he couldn't refute it at this time.
Otherwise, it would be a grave sin for Yaxley to attack Muggles.
Chief Yaxley frowned at Erwin.
He didn't know what Erwin meant by bringing this up at this time.
In his opinion, this move has reached the end of Erwin's chess.
There is no turning back, he has been cleared of this charge.
He even found a scapegoat, so this matter could not be linked to him no matter what.
Erwin said, "If we follow what Patriarch Yaxley said, does that mean that the parents and families of those students from Muggle families at Hogwarts are now considered members of the wizarding world?"
Fudge nodded. "Yes, that's right."
Elvin's mouth curled up. "I was bored the other day, so I read some old newspapers! I found a very interesting report in it. There was a Death Eater who was identified as a Death Eater. At the end of the trial, someone pleaded for mercy. Although he was a Death Eater, he was indeed controlled. There was no blood on his hands. Only once when he was fighting with the Aurors, the spell accidentally hit two Muggles. Those two Muggles were later sentenced to death for harming Muggles. But according to Patriarch Yaxley, those two Muggles had a child who was a student at Hogwarts! And according to the definition, they also belong to the magical world. Doesn't that mean that the Ministry of Magic made a wrong judgment? It seems that Minister Fudge had not yet been elected Minister of Magic at that time. You were still the Director of the Department of Magical Inquiry, and you tried this case personally!"
When Fudge heard this, his expression changed instantly.
Chief Yaxley's expression also changed.
They were all very familiar with the original case.
They all knew the Death Eater who was sentenced to death.
That Death Eater had a brother who was Fudge's only rival in the election for Minister of Magic at the time.
Many of the Ministry of Magic's requirements are very strange. If someone in your family is serving a sentence in Azkaban, it will not affect you.
But if someone is sentenced to death, it will affect everyone in the family, such as being unable to work in the Ministry of Magic.
Therefore, Fudge seized this point and directly confirmed the crime of indiscriminate killing of Muggles.
This is how the competitor was eliminated.
Among them, the Yaxley family made a significant contribution.
It would be very difficult to sentence a person to death in a case like this.
In order to force Fudge into that position, Yaxley also made many illegal moves.
Fudge was in a difficult situation.
He couldn't respond to this at all now. If he said that he had made a wrong judgment, then his position as Minister of Magic would be over.
But if there was no wrong verdict, then the excuse Yaxley used to evade conviction was pure nonsense.
If the crime of killing Muggles is proven, the Yaxley family will be greatly affected.
For a moment, everyone present was silent.
Erwin picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip of water.
He waited patiently for Fudge and Yaxley's responses.
How could he possibly argue with these two guys without any preparation?
I can only say that these people in the magic world have too many flaws in their actions.
Alvin only needs to use his brain a little to check and he can find out clearly.
