The outcome of the case was just as Mr. Romans had predicted. Most of them, or those charged with murder by the prosecution, were eventually acquitted. In the trial, lawyer Romans, nicknamed the "devil's spokesman", showed the strong combat effectiveness of the defense lawyer in criminal cases with the highest winning rate in the United States, and he keenly grasped the little inconspicuous loopholes in the prosecution's seemingly perfect evidence chain, and then smashed the prosecution's entire evidence chain from here.

"It is said that Solicitor Romez's representation fee is staggeringly high, more than ten times that of the average criminal barrister. So that ordinary people may not be able to afford to invite him if they are bankrupt. But his watch confirmed that he was indeed worth that much price. In fact, the prosecution's performance is not bad, at least, after I have listened to the prosecution's indictment, I almost have to observe a moment of silence for those young men. The author has also been an unsuccessful lawyer for a period of time, and if I had been the one on the defense bench, I might have been directly knocked down by the seemingly perfect chain of evidence. If this is the case, Mississippi is afraid that there will be a great tragedy of hanging more than a hundred gentlemen in one go...... If I were to say anything wrong with the prosecution in this encounter, I can only say that I can't find any mistakes other than underestimating the opponent. As for underestimating the opponent, to be honest, who would have thought that such preparation would not be sufficient before the official confrontation with lawyer Romez? You know, this kind of preparation is enough to deal with 99% of lawyers......

But our gentlemen went home, and the matter was not over. I don't know how their families got the lawyer, but it was a happy and painful thing to get the lawyer. It's not for nothing that Lawyer Romans has been called the 'Devil's Advocate'. Happily, with lawyer Romes, most of them can save their relatives, and the painful thing is that once this lawyer is hired, for a middle-class family, it basically means that they will go bankrupt. Sherman's devastation has just passed, and I don't know what our gentlemen are going to do to pay Attorney Romans' frighteningly high legal fees......" - The Mississippi Observer

Putting down the newspaper, Dorothea pursed her lips and said to Scrooge: "Lawyer Romans has taken a big advantage, in fact, we will solve those key matters together." In the end, he just put on a show in court with the corrupt officials. It's ...... that he still charges such high legal fees."

"Ah, Dorothea, it's not fair for you to say that." Scrooge said, "Our actions can be so smooth, and the arrangement of lawyer Romez is indispensable. Without their guidance, we wouldn't have been able to find a way. If nothing else, just because he can guide us in the direction of solving the problem, it means that he is worth the price. ”

"However, everyone really can't afford his lawyer's fees." Dorothea said with a pout.

"I found him, and the lawyer's fees were naturally paid by me first. Even if it's what I lend to everyone. Scrooge smiled and said, "Well, Dorothea, you know, I'm rich." ”

"But we can't just let you suffer for nothing. We southerners don't want to be so ungrateful, and we can't do things that make you suffer in vain. Dorothea said, "They all came to me to talk to you." And, Scrooge, you also told me that farming has no future. And we don't know anything but farming. If we are not allowed to farm, let us engage in industry and commerce, we lack both capital and technology and channels. So, they all want you to take them with you. ”

"Well, I've finally found it." Scrooge thought. However, he did not immediately show enthusiasm, but thought for a moment, and then said, "Dorothea, this matter is not easy to handle. You know, if there was only one estate, I could come up with a whole bunch of businesses that would suit your estate. And, even without considering its income, it's nice to call it our love nest. ”

"Go! Who's going to be with you! Dorothea scolded angrily, and threw a cushion over to smash Scrooge.

"Really?" Scrooge put on a sad look and said, "I thought it was ...... In order to propose to you, I even bought a ring. ”

In Scrooge's opinion, Dorothea was a good marriage partner. In fact, Scrooge didn't need a particularly strong family. Because there are few people in the MacDonald family, in this way, he will inevitably have to rely on the power of the wife family, but this is easy to see the infiltration of the power of the wife family into the MacDonald family, and even the noisy thing. This must not be tolerated. Therefore, the MacDonald family must not marry a family that is too powerful and too well-established. However, the MacDonalds can't really marry civilians who have nothing. The MacDonald family, which lacks manpower, must rely on marriage to get some human help. That is, it must rely on the manpower of the wife's clan. After all, although the relatives are troublesome, they are still slightly stronger than the outright outsiders in terms of reliability. Therefore, the marriage partner that the MacDonald family needs is best from a well-educated family, so as to ensure that the people of the wife family are useful, but the strength of the family itself must be far less than that of the MacDonald family, so as to ensure that the people of the wife family are safe and secure to use. The former condition is not met, which is why Anna will never become Mrs. Scrooge.

Dorothea, in contrast, was in much better condition. Dorothea has no immediate relatives, but she has quite a few cousins. And these people are quite educated, and they also have extensive connections in the South. These are all places that can be borrowed. Dorothea herself is actually very capable, but her personality is not tough enough. But as an assistant, it's not a flaw. In addition, Dorothy also owns a large piece of land, and there are oil fields under this land. And thanks to Dorothea's connections, Scrooge also had a chance, and even now it was certain that he would be able to gain control of the entire region. Plus, Dorothea is really cute. So Scrooge thought it would be a good idea to propose to Dorothea.

"Who's going to promise you?" Dorothea continued to be arrogant, and then she suddenly said, "What about the ring you bought?" Show me! ”

"I believe you can already understand the goals of the federal policy." Scrooge spoke to the men who had just been released from prison, and to the women who were still in prison for the time being.

"Damn Lincoln! He just doesn't want us to live well! A man roared angrily.

"No, Mr. Cole, calm down." "Lincoln just didn't want the plantation to live, not to let everyone live," Scrooge said. In fact, even without Lincoln's discriminatory tax policies, plantations would have been difficult to sustain after losing the European market. Because the North could not afford to pay as high prices as Europe had in the past, and because of tariffs, European markets would no longer be open to American plantations. So even without those discriminatory taxes, plantations would be far less profitable than they used to be. So, let's switch to a new economy. Stop indulging in old dreams. ”

"But we don't have the money, and in fact our assets are going negative. Considering the money you spent to save us, as well as Attorney Romez's attorney's fees. Building a factory requires investment. We don't have the funds. The other man spoke.

"You still have a large piece of land in your hands, land is a priceless treasure, how can you say that your assets are negative." "All you lack is experience. Now, for example, if you take the full ownership of the land for a certain period of time as capital, we will unite to form a company, and then we will borrow some money from the bank as start-up capital, and I can guarantee that in two or three years, everyone will get as much dividends as the plantation in that year. I just don't know if you can believe me as a northern guy. ”

"Mr. MacDonald, how can we not trust you? You are our savior. Still, I know, you're a big deal. Do you have time to keep an eye on a small business like ours? Another asked.

"There's no way I'm going to put all my energy here. Truth be told, just for business, the Pacific Railroad is a lot more important than here. However, I can assure you that there will be someone you can trust to be in charge of this business. Scrooge said with a smile.

"Who is it?" Someone asked.

"Miss Dorothea, I have done a lot of things with her these days, and I think Miss Dorothea is very clever and capable. I believe that she can do this well. Moreover, I will continue to help her. Because ......" Scrooge suddenly turned around, knelt down to Dorothea who was sitting next to him, and magically took out a small red velvet box, opened it, revealing a big cheesy diamond ring, "Dorothea, I feel hopelessly in love with you these days." Will you marry me? ”

Dorothea, who was sitting next to Scrooge, immediately lowered her head, she didn't expect that Scrooge would talk about this matter at this time. I was messed up for a while, and I didn't know what to do. So he just lowered his head and didn't speak.

"Dorothea, say yes!"

"Yes, yes! Well, otherwise, if you don't speak, you can be considered a promise? ”

"Dorothea, promise me that I will make you happy." Scrooge said sincerely.

Dorothea remained motionless......

"Please, nod." Scrooge whispered, "I've been on my knees for so long, I can't hold it anymore." ”

Dorothea burst out laughing, then nodded lightly with a flushed face.

"Hooray!" Scrooge picked Dorothea up and threw her in the air for a few spins.

"Congratulations, Mr. MacDonald!" Mr. Gilbert began by congratulating Scrooge. Gilbert is Dorothea's cousin, and is now the closest relative to Dorothea.

"Congratulations, Mr. MacDonald! Dorothea was something I grew up watching. I've been worried about Mr. Odd since she died, and now I can rest assured. "The one who spoke was Mrs. Dorothea, a neighbor of Mr. Odd, and an elder of Dorothea.

"To be honest, I don't like northerners, and if someone says that our Dorothea is going to marry a northerner, I'll be half angry, but if this northerner is Mr. Macdonald, well, as hard as I try, I just can't give birth...... Haha, I bless you, what an enviable couple. ”
