This kind of waiting ended in the evening of the third day, Yu Wuming had lost hope, he had already packed his things and was ready to go to the Demon Research Institute to participate in the evening experiment, and he had already ordered that while the court would start tomorrow, the wolf camp that stayed in Kacheng would surround the big butler's residence, restrict the big butler's actions, and make him unable to participate in tomorrow's trial, as for the future, then let him take care of it.

But this big housekeeper is quite interesting, he came, on the evening of the third day, naturally Yu Wusheng missed class, the two had a nearly three-hour meeting in Yu Wuming's dormitory, and this meeting was only two people, even Charlotte was kicked out, no one knew what the two of them talked about, only that after the meeting, the guests and hosts were happy.

The time of the trial was scheduled for nine o'clock in the morning, but in the early morning, a large number of Kacheng citizens had already gathered, and the observer seat of the largest courtroom in the court could only accommodate more than two hundred people.

This was not common in the past, especially in the past two years, every time the court was held, there were only a few people, and it was true that the residents' confidence in the City Lord's Mansion had dropped to the lowest point.

As for why he was so confident this time, because there was a heavyweight among the defendants, Karn! On the night three days ago, Karn actually turned himself in.

Seeing the crowd outside the courtroom, Fei Wude decided to open the door half an hour late, and a quarter of an hour after the door opened, the door of the courtroom had to be closed again because it was full.

When Yu Wuming and Charlotte arrived at the door of the courtroom, they saw the grand butler and the treasurer, Baron John, enter the courtroom together. The butler's humility as always contrasts sharply with the aura, which is no one in the eyes of the financial officer.

Yu Wuming and the two did not go in immediately, but mixed in the crowd and listened carefully to the reactions of the people outside the courtroom on the trial.

When these ordinary people saw the chief housekeeper and the financial officer appear at the trial scene together, some people actually turned around and left, and it can be seen that everyone is no longer optimistic about this trial.

The people who remained at the scene were whispering: "See? The big butler is actually with that fat John, it seems that this time there is no hope again." "Yes, yes, that John had always been Karn's dogleg, and he appeared with the butler, and he laughed and laughed, and this time he hung again. "Do you think this Baron John has a lot of brains? "What do you know! Prime Minister Menzi Seventh Rank Official, Karn is the number one real power figure in Card City, much more angry than him as a country baron!"

"I heard that this time Baron John's son was also involved, as if he had offended a greater nobleman and arrested Little John directly!"

"So what, John is also a nobleman, the big nobleman is not injured or dead, at most he can pay a little money to settle it, we little civilians in his hands...... Hmph, ask for more blessings!"

Yu Wuming and Charlotte listened to the crowd for a while, slowly moved from the edge of the crowd to the side door of the courtroom, and when the crowd was not paying attention, they entered the courtroom from the side of the judge's lounge.

There are still some empty seats in the courtroom viewing area, which are specially reserved for some high-ranking officials and nobles, Yu Wuming chose a row behind the chief butler and the treasurer to sit in, here is a row away from them, as long as you pay attention, some whispers spoken by the chief butler and the treasurer can be heard.

After Yu Wuming sat down, he opened a brown paper bag, took out a stack of papers from it, and looked through it carefully, these were given to him by Fei Wude in the judge's lounge just now, and these papers were the information of the financial officer and the chief butler.

Yu Wuming flipped through it and put aside the information of the chief housekeeper, he and the chief housekeeper had already talked about it last night, and each had some compromises, and now the two of them have reached a consensus, so there is no need to rush to see the information of the chief housekeeper now, but to understand the situation of the financial officer.

Looking through the files of this treasurer, it is recorded that this treasurer was brought by the second butler Karn, who had just become one of the many third stewards of the city five years ago, when the economy of Karlsruhe City was in decline.

At that time, all the housekeepers were helpless against the economic downturn, and the think tank of the big butler also did not have good advice on this, and the big housekeeper had to ask the society for advice, and posted a recruitment list at that time, as long as it could solve the economic crisis of Kacheng, no matter what his background, he could be appointed as the financial officer of Kacheng.

It was at this time that Karn appeared with John, and John's strategy was to reduce taxes, reduce the gate tax, increase the amount of resources entering the city, and reduce the population tax, so that everyone could get enough money, and if they had money, they could buy more goods, and the turnover of goods would be increased, and the natural income would be higher.

It's a very simple proposal, it's really simple, but sometimes people are like that, and the more superficial things are, the more people will think about complexity.

Through the implementation of this strategy, it was indeed increased in fiscal revenue for a period of time, and for two years, a large number of resources and personnel poured into the city, so that the city showed a thriving scene.

The Grand Butler thought that Karn still had some ability, and promoted him to the second butler, while John naturally became the treasurer, and the Grand Butler gradually handed over the family affairs to Karn.

When Karn was in full power, he began to raise taxes, not slowly, but substantially, and yes, it did bring in another amount of revenue, but in a very short period of time.

But after that, the Grand Butler seemed to have lost interest in managing the family, and Karn did not even limit what he did, which made Karn's desire for power completely explode to this day.

Yu Wuxian finished reading this, and looked up at John's back, this person is just an impostor, this tax reduction strategy can't be his one, it seems that Bertier should be right when he says to himself on the city tower, this tax reduction policy for the first time in Card City is from Bertier, and after that, I don't know why Kahn is not taking Bertier's suggestion.

And then the policy of raising taxes seems to be something that this fat-headed John can propose, but this guy knows nothing about the economy at a glance, and only sees more income in the short term, but does not see a long-term economic recession.

At this time, the trial began, and the judge's trial table was piled up with files of about 1 meter, and the judge glanced at Fei Wude, while the sheriff looked at Yu Wuming, Yu Wuming gave him a supportive smile, the sheriff nodded firmly to Yu Wuming, and the chief butler and John seemed to think that the sheriff was nodding to them, and both smiled and nodded in response.

Seeing the sheriff's reaction, the judge picked up the first file, and the waiting scribe immediately picked up a copy of the file and read it.

This dossier is a noble dispute, a baron's heir to the baron's request for the return of the baron's title, in the auditorium, John listened to the scribe's reading, how did it look so much like his experience, but this heir is really stupid, if this lawsuit is established, he himself will not end well, and in the end he will only be stripped of the title of nobility.

What he didn't expect was that the chief butler patted him on the shoulder at this time and said, "Baron John, please stand on the stage and explain the origin of your title." ”

John did not react for a moment, but stood up in ignorance, and took two steps, only to realize how he had stood up, and in the auditorium, a young man from the countryside who looked honest and less than twenty years old, also stood up.

John looked at each other in surprise, and he muttered quietly, "Shizi?"

He didn't expect that this cowardly baron would really come and sue him, was this going to break the net? He gave him a tenth of the nobility's allowance every month.

Seeing John stand, two court guards stepped forward, sandwiched John left and right, and led him to the dock, while the baron stepped onto the plaintiff's bench.

What everyone didn't expect happened suddenly, the people who were hearing the trial just now also watched the chief butler and the financial officer come in together, and some people were ready to leave at that time, but unfortunately the exit was blocked by the guards of the court, and they had to sit back again, but they were basically desperate for today's result.

But what was the situation? The court actually slashed at John with the first sword? And John didn't know whether he was mad or arrogant, and he said to the young man viciously: "Son, why do you bother? Is it interesting to lose both sides like this? If you feel that one-tenth is too little, can I give it a price? How about one-fifth?"

John bargained directly with the young man in the courtroom. But everyone sitting here knows that this is a confirmation that he has stolen his position as the original master.

The young man timidly turned his head to look at the judge, and immediately lowered his head, apparently unwilling to answer John's question. Then the judge asked, "John Connery, do you admit that your title is not right?"

Both John and the young man looked up at the judge, "No, my title comes from the Ancestral Shadow!" "Yes, I took it from him!"

Two voices rang out at the same time, the first from the young man, and the second from John in the dock. There was an uproar in the crowd sitting and listening, no one thought that this "John" Baron would answer so simply, this is a direct confession!

"John Connery, are you pleading?"

"Yes!" the young man knew that it was not him who the judge was asking now, so he chose to remain silent when the judge asked, so there was only one sound in the courtroom.

"Please hand over your noble coat of arms and certificates, and give your real name!" the judge did not call his name again this time, because since the false John had pleaded guilty, it would be inappropriate to call "John Connery" again.
