Section 318: Brutal Justice (1)
"Sorry, I'm late." Walking into the conference hall, Casaman made himself look as if he had run, just the right amount of breathing, just the right amount of deep breath, and the image of lawyer Casaman Sasaman jumped out of the picture.
His employers smiled and motioned for him to sit down, and the president of the Chamber of Commerce opened his mouth: "It's okay, lawyer Salian, it's better to be late than not to come." ”
Kasaman nodded slightly, then sat down next to his peers, and when their faces were unhappy, Casaman took out a stack of papers and told his peers in a well-whispered voice: "This is the salary and working hours of the Marin Group that I have collected, a lot of data, and our opponent is a little too generous compared to his peers." ”
"Looks like you've tried, Mr. Casaman." Putting away his unhappiness, the old lawyer from the barrister's office in the royal capital nodded: "The gods always like to favor those who are willing to work hard. ”
Casaman smiled and nodded.
As things stand, neither his peers nor his employer are suspicious - this proves that the archbishop is not just trying to kill him, but that his general direction is to stir up chaos and take out a problematic defector, which is just going with the flow.
Of course, this does not mean that Casaman is safe now, after all, the archbishop wants to kill him, because the death of lawyer Casaman Salian is also part of the grand drama of the Chaos bishop.
It's a pity that he, the leading actor, disappointed him.
Casaman, as a non-consuming presence in the lawyers' team, basically does not have his turn to speak, and he is happy to use his half-baked level to embarrass people at the meeting.
The housekeeper of the Marin Group is not a good man or a woman, as the housekeeper of a large group, he has a very strong team of lawyers in his hands - the royal family's lawyer's firm, the chief is the cousin of His Majesty the King today.
As soon as the other party mentioned that the high wages of the Marin Group affected their peers, the other party said that there is no law in the existing laws of the Kingdom that must maintain the same salary between various business groups, and there are even regulations that such business self-discipline is illegal to maintain the same salary.
This regulation was forcibly added to the commercial law by the Royal Court three months ago.
How could everyone here not know why this regulation was added three months ago—wasn't it Marin who wanted to disgust the business guild?
Of course, the business associations are also prepared - they cite that this negotiation was confirmed half a year ago, and the old commercial law should be applied half a year ago.
The old commercial law was established by the merchant guild itself, of course, this thing was 200 years ago, and now the Sidney royal family is taking back what was divided back then.
Of course, the merchants were angry, but who made the Sidney Union the most comfortable country in the western human world today, as for the eastern human world...... It was the realm of black-haired humans such as southern Tyranny.
This time, they jumped out, firstly, because Marin's behavior had indeed affected their business, and secondly, they wanted to weaken the prestige of the royal family by confronting the Marin group, so that those merchants on the sidelines would understand that the business guild still had strength.
The idea was good, but Casamane thought it was too good, whether they thought Lord Marlin didn't have a knife in his hand, or if their heads were hard enough to fight a blade.
It's really a brain in water.
Cassaman's eyes narrowed at the thought of this—as he noticed that the old lawyer had raised his hand.
"I would like to invite a witness, and I hope you will hear what he has to say."
Wow, the play meat is coming.
Casaman perked up, and then he saw a man walk in.
It was a lean man, who took off the flat hat from his head and bowed to the lords present—the specialty of the northerners, where the nobles enjoyed the awe of the commoners with pride.
Then the man began to talk nonsense: "I am a refugee who came to Fort Carter last month, and there are quite a few people with me, and we all live in the Grange, but in the last few days, some of them are missing, and I don't know where they went......"
Kasaman smiled—he had seen a lot of this insinuation, to the effect that it was human trafficking.
The colleague sitting across from him was clearly prepared for this little trick: "How old are your companions, sir?" ”
Sure enough, the deputy on the left side of the cousin asked for the first time.
"Everybody is an adult, and there's a young gentleman who makes herbs." The worker said.
Mr. Deputy shook his head, and he turned to look at Mr. Mayor, who had been sitting up a little since the beginning as an observer: "I don't think this kind of thing has anything to do with this negotiation, maybe we should hand it over to the police." ”
"Why, this may be involved in the crime of the Marin Group! I think this gentleman is a very important witness, Mr. Mayor, and I would like to immediately form an investigation team to enter the factories of the Marin Group to investigate whether there are any other cases of disappearance. Speaking of this, the old lawyer stood up: "Mr. Mayor, justice is listening, please make a decision early!" ”
………………
"I thought you were crazy." Helping Marin's men to get out of the carriage, Faye looked at his lover: "Why do you want the housekeeper to agree to let the investigation team enter the factory, why do you want to stop work?" ”
"I ask you, what happens next when the factory is shut down." Marin asked, looking at Faye.
Faye thought for a moment: "The workers are not paid, the orders of the front-line soldiers cannot be fulfilled, the dwarves will do nothing and then drink and fight, and then ......" "Then the workers will unite and start a discussion about who deprived them of the right to work?" Marin looked at Faye with a smile.
The girl's elf's eyes lit up: "It's the Business Guild." ”
"Who made the soldiers on the front line lose their weapons." Marin continued to ask.
There was a little more determination in Faye's eyes: "It's the Chamber of Commerce. ”
"Who made the state and Fort Carter lose their taxes?" Marlin's face was full of smiles.
Faye turned his head and glanced at the store of the business guild not far away: "It's the business guild. ”
"And what will they do when everyone knows that the news from the Business Guild is fake." Marin stretched out his hand, waiting for Faye.
And Faye put his arm around Marin: "If I were the king, I would definitely hang them." ”
"No, until then, the angry workers will tear them apart, the one I sent out, he was the only one of the first wizards in the original team, after drinking the potion of the World Tree, he returned to mortals, and has now become a mage apprentice, he is loyal enough to help me destroy my enemies." With that, Marin smiled and took a corner from his pocket and threw it into the bowl of the beggar on the side of the road.
“…… Marlin, sometimes your thoughts are terrible. Faye, who had his arm around Marin, said.
"My dear, I remember saying that my justice will show absolute brutality in the presence of those with ulterior motives, because I know very well that justice cannot be done with my mouth."
Arriving at the gate of the National Publishing House, Marin handed out his certificate, and after confirming it, the guard opened the door for him: "Welcome, Mr. Marin. ”
