Chapter 47 47. Judgment
There is money again.
Lovi counted the gold dragons in the sack quickly, and his ear was grabbed by Lodel.
"Are you hiding something from me about Xiqi?"
"No, I just care about the money. I'm very greedy." Lowe showed a money-grubbing expression.
"Really?" Lodel cast a suspicious look. Who would take the initiative to talk about their shortcomings? It was just to hide a bigger shortcoming: "Miss Xiqi shouldn't be a maid, right? She is so rich, how could she care about the maid's dozens of silver dollars. She just came to see my mother to do something, and she will leave after the work is done. Am I right?"
"How could that be? She's already applied for the job. It's all settled, and I've agreed." Lo Wei carefully moved Lodel's hand away. "Businessmen must also be honest. Without credibility, who would be willing to help in the future?"
"Don't force an unwilling person!" Lodel said with a gesture of justice. "I won't agree to it."
"Oh, it's so annoying! You chose the person yourself, what else do you want?" Lovey picked up the heavy purse and carried it back to the bedroom without any complaints.
He put the gold coins under his wooden bed, but felt it was not safe. After thinking it over, he decided to temporarily put them in Evelyn's small treasury.
The vault is inside a secret door next to Evelyn's bedroom. It is engraved with a visual-blocking magic circle, and to ordinary people it looks like just a wall.
After taking care of Jinlong's placement, Luo Wei breathed a sigh of relief. He went back to the bedroom to rest for a while, and then Mo Sufei came over with Lan Lan.
"Master."
"What is it, Messofie?"
"Where will you be assigned to, Anus? Guarding the gate, or something else?"
"Arrange for the gate to be guarded and stand guard with the guards at night."
"During the day."
"Arrange it to sleep in the guard dormitory during the day, and when it wakes up, you can let Lan Lan take it for some exercise."
"I understand." Mosuofei glanced at Lanlan and turned away.
Lan Lan was wearing a maid's black and white outfit, with her head lowered and her hands in front of her, looking aggrieved.
"What's wrong? Is Lanlan unhappy?" Luo Wei leaned close to her face.
Lan Lan shook her head slowly, "I'm not unhappy."
"If you're not unhappy, just smile." Lowe said frivolously.
Lan Lan raised her head and forced a smile, "Master, I smiled."
"Just tell me what's going on! I'll try my best to satisfy you!"
"Master, my room on the fourth floor is so big, can I live with Anus?"
"Anus has bugs on him and stinks. It's best for people not to live with animals."
"I'll bathe it every day, please."
"Let me think about it. Well, who told me to be soft-hearted? But if Lan Lan smells bad, I will deduct her salary."
"I don't stink."
"Really? Let me smell it."
"Lovi!" Lodel shouted angrily, interrupting Lovi's further frivolous actions. Like a divine soldier descending from the sky, he separated the two of them, "It's daytime."
"Okay, I was wrong." Lo Wei was secretly upset. She had sensed that Lodel was still downstairs just now. She was careless and went up to the fifth floor, and was caught red-handed. "I'll take a rest today, and I'll start handling government affairs tomorrow."
"You still want to rest? Do you know that there are a lot of things going on in Donggang City right now? The people in the city are all here to find us."
"What are you looking for?"
"Go down and see for yourself."
With Lan Lan's help, Luo Wei quickly changed his clothes.
Walk out of Fulinbao.
The people gathered around and complained about the incident, mostly small matters, such as fighting and theft.
Lowe's head was buzzing with the noise, and he ordered the guards to bring chairs, gavels and other trial instruments, and then asked the people to line up.
Although arrangements were made before the trip, some government affairs were still forced to be put on hold during the half month he was away.
Those who had committed crimes, no matter how serious, were all caught by the city defense officers and thrown into jail, awaiting sentencing.
This is not like handling the household registration of newly born people or canceling the household registration of deceased people, which can be handled by simply entrusting scholars.
According to the law, only the consul is qualified to pronounce judgment on the crimes of his subjects, and no one else has the right to do so.
Since Donggang City was a city directly governed by the lord, and the governor was the lord himself, the matter naturally fell on Lowe's head.
The incidents in the past half month have accumulated. In addition, Donggang City is a city with a floating population and a high crime rate. The few cells that were originally few in number are almost full. Therefore, the city defense army personally escorted a group of people with relatively minor crimes here.
"My Lord, she stole my Cuckoo."
"My Lord, he punched me twice."
"Wait, do you admit that you stole her cuckoo?" Lovey asked the woman.
"I don't have it." The woman denied it. "This cuckoo has no owner. It's wandering around in the fields. How can you say it's his?"
"This is my field!" the man said angrily.
Luo Wei was a little embarrassed and said to the woman: "Since it is someone else's cuckoo bird, you should return it to them."
"She has already snatched it away and eaten it!" said the man.
"If you eat it, you will have to pay for it." Lowe said decisively.
"He has to prove that the cuckoo is his. I think the cuckoo is obviously a wild cuckoo and it can fly." The woman spread her arms and made a funny flying gesture.
There was laughter outside the venue.
Lovey had a headache and glanced left and right at the two of them.
He is not an expert in torture. As an ordinary otaku! What can he do? Besides, isn't it necessary to have evidence to judge a case? Whoever advocates, shall provide evidence? By the way, how did my mother judge when she encountered such a thing in the past?
"Son, use your mental power to sense them. There must be differences between those who lie and those who do not lie." Evelyn's voice suddenly appeared in Lowe's mind, "Do you want me to ask Mixia to come and help you?"
"Misha, do you have any solution?"
"People who have lost their eyes will not be misled by appearances. Her perception and judgment will be more accurate than yours. I trained her specially when you were away."
"Then please ask Misha to come down."
Lovi frowned and swung the gavel to hit the wooden base, signaling silence.
After waiting for a few minutes, a blonde girl wearing a silk eye mask came to Lovey.
I haven't seen her for more than half a month. Maybe because life has become better, Mixia's slender figure has become much more graceful than when we first met.
She was wearing a white silk dress and nervously grasped the hem of the panda butler's clothes.
"Misha, tell me who is lying again." Lovi ordered softly.
Mixia nodded, "I will do my best to help you."
Lo Wei looked sternly at the man and woman in front of him, "You have to think clearly. Lying in front of the lord is a far more serious crime than stealing or beating people. I will give you a chance to repent and reform. If you admit your mistakes now, I can forgive you. Otherwise, if you are judged later, I will definitely increase the punishment."
