Chapter Eighty-Four: The Hammer of Justice I

As it is known, because of the two bosses who are not good at greeting guests, the Scream Shack has always been relatively quiet except on weekends. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

Now, when Lu Yuan slaughtered more than a dozen dogs from the Ministry of Magic and slapped the face of the Ministry of Magic, this place became even more crowded. Because the atmosphere suddenly became very delicate, some of the regulars in the village in the past also began to stop and watch, hesitating to come to the door.

It's all because of the "protest crowd" that is now gathering at the foot of the hill --

Kill a dozen Dementors by a local or student, and you will even be considered a national hero by the people of the British Wizarding World! As for the feelings of the Ministry of Magic, who would bird him? Think of the Dementors, hated magical creatures, which have been hated by the Rotten for a long time. But now that the identity of the person who killed these Dementors has been replaced by a foreigner, the situation seems to have been reversed 180 degrees!

"Hand over the murderer who breached our safety!" "Strongly demand that the Ministry of Magic bring the slaughterers to justice!" "Foreigners get out of the UK! "The Dementors who guard us are also worthy of love! "If justice is not served, the magic world will immediately pill", "Knock down the screaming shack, cry blood and recommend Xiangmeng cat's claw"...... All sorts of sensational banners were displayed in the wind, and from time to time people shouted at the mountain with "loud voice" magic, demanding that "the murderer immediately come out and apologize and seek leniency."

It's a good look.

They even set up tents at the foot of the mountain, preparing for a long fight against the evil crooked nuts. Of course, there are hardly any locals in the village. The villagers of Hogsmeade have long been terrified of the Dementors stationed nearby, and they don't see a trace of light and warmth on them, so it's better to die! These inexplicable people are gathered from all over the country, and among them are conspirators, professional marchers, fun-givers, haters of the rich, xenophobia, racists, in short, in a variety of compositions.

Fortunately, the Screaming Shack is considered private territory. When she declares that she is "out of business", she must not enter - provided that there is a magician who can slaughter Dementors and kill dogs, of course, - and if you were a normal person, I am afraid those people would have rushed up long ago! The corrupt country has always been rich in pirates, drug dealers and, and the so-called corrupt gentlemen are nothing more than bars of soap that want to wash away the bloodstains.

Or did it fall to the ground......

*****

On the hillside, Lu Yuan sat in a rocking chair, looking down at the people below the mountain with an indifferent expression. The wand was in his hand, tapping on the palm of his other hand for a while.

"You'd better not do something on the spur of the moment." Elaine placed the tray of food and warned in his ear. "These people are the tools that are incited and used to provoke you. Your status as a foreigner can certainly make some people helpless, but it is by no means invulnerable. I'm guessing the Ministry of Magic people are just hiding to the side, and if you make a mistake, they'll jump out and grab you. ”

"Made's Staff!" Lu Yuan said angrily, "Lao Tzu really wants to rush down like this and kill these grandsons!" ”

"Oh, you." Elaine shook her head helplessly. "Let's think about how to solve the trouble in front of us."

"Wait...... Kill the light? Lu Yuan stroked his chin thoughtfully. That sounds like a good idea. ”

"Hey! You're going to take it seriously, right?! Elaine hurriedly grabbed his hand and asked, "Then your reputation will be completely stinky!" Just like Voldemort, no one stands with a murderer! ”

"It's okay, it's useless to deal with them for the time being - even if I don't do it, the hammer of justice will drive them into the abyss!" Lu Yuan waved his hand, took out the "non-killing list" given to him by the main god Jinnie, and motioned to Elaine. "I mean, this -- I saw this that day and I had some inspiration, but someone interrupted me. As soon as you said it, I finally remembered! You say, Merlin's ultimate goal is to kill everyone? I mean, everyone! ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I see you're sick! Elaine Ravenclaw gave him a wide eye and left with an ashtray full of cigarette butts.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion among the demonstrators at the foot of the mountain! The source of the fluctuation begins to be on the periphery of the crowd and continues to penetrate deeper into the crowd. With a continuous burst of magical brilliance, certain roadblocks are knocked into the air! Soon it spread to all the demonstrators!

"Someone attacked the demonstrators, did you hire someone to do it? This is not very smart, there are reporters below, if it is found out......" Elaine was stunned for a moment, and then asked with some concern.

"Of course not!" Lu Yuan denied it with a smug face! He picked up the "Daily Prophet" on the table and handed it to Elaine, motioned for her to open it, shook his head and said, "I said it all, you have to believe that justice may be late, but it is never absent!" That's the hammer of justice! ”

"It would be strange if I believed you! Don't underestimate the methods of those journalists, even if they are not the ones you hire, there is no guarantee that they will splash dirty water on you. Elaine gave him a roll of the eyes, then opened the newspaper and began to seriously search for news about the screaming shack.

"Trust me, they don't dare."

As the highlight of these days, the socially responsible Daily Prophet will of course follow up on the demonstrations under the hill of the screaming shacks. But this is not a big deal after all, and it has occupied the front page on the first day. Immediately, a series of focus events such as "Muggle invasion of the wizarding world" and "Deputy Minister of Magic Cole's bribery case" that happened in the past few days stole the limelight.

The screaming shack demonstrations have begun to cool down, and if it weren't for the fact that some people still need the news to exist, maybe the Daily Prophet won't be following up! But on the one hand, the Ministry of Magic's demands, and on the other hand, the need to divert attention, the coverage of the screaming shack demonstrations continued.

Therefore, the media can only find other excitement and try to arouse the interest of readers.

For example, in this issue of the Daily Prophet, under the title "Demonstration and Love", many photos of couples participating in demonstrations together were published...... Seeing this, Elaine already understood Lao Lu's routine - just publish the photos of those "married men and married women" and the opposite sex in newspapers and magazines, supplemented by misleading words. Whether this thing is true or not, it will definitely create a sensational family conflict! And then provoke violent conflicts!

-- Just like what's going on under the hills!

The more the fight is getting more and more lively under the mountain, and some people have begun to lose their minds and attack indiscriminately!

"Hahaha~!" looked at Lu Yuan happily, laughed back and forth, and was extremely arrogant and hateful! Looking at Lu Yuan like this, Elaine had an itch at the root of her teeth, and she wanted to kick him in the ass...... "So, you did this lack of morality?" Sure enough, it's a guy like you who can do it! I just wonder, how could the Daily Prophet listen to your command? ”

"Hehe~ dear, this is the charm of money."

"Did you bribe the editor of the daily newspaper?" Elaine couldn't believe that Lu Yuan would do that kind of sneaky thing, he always liked to be positive!

"No, no, no~" Lu Yuan shook his index finger, "The level of bribery is too low." You know, there's another word on the road to power with money, shareholders. I bought a 53% stake in the Observer six months ago, and I am their majority shareholder! ”

"You? Wait, I'm a bit of a mess. At the beginning, Elaine felt that the confusion of logic was that if Lu Yuan was a shareholder of the Daily Prophet, then why would this newspaper follow the orders of the Ministry of Magic to hack himself? But when Elaine saw a prominent position in the newspaper it was "The magic side has been invaded by Muggles again, and there are Muggles who point to the existence of magic in the world, and the wizarding world is about to be exposed!" The situation became clear when there was such news as "Deputy Secretary Cole's bribery storm is intensifying, and Minister Fudge may be implicated."

The newspaper blackened its own major shareholder, and it was all to clear the suspicion! The other two things are the big troubles that make the entire Ministry of Magic and Minister Fudge anxious!

"You, you're really ......" Elaine didn't know what to say.

Even a novice politician like Elaine knows that politics is all about deterrence and compromise – both sides show their cards, guess each other's cards, and then seek a way to reconcile that won't hurt both. But Lu Yuan, what is this? This is clearly a laughing knife and a bayonet, okay! Abbreviated as "interpolation". You must know that he has never shown his "power side" to others, and in Fudge's eyes, Lu Yuan is still a rich and nasty foreigner, that's all.

Without deterrence, there is certainly no compromise! If Fudge knew that Lu Yuan was the majority shareholder of the newspaper with the largest circulation on the magic side, he would definitely think twice! If he had known that Lao Lu was a neurotic who liked to "die together", then he would definitely be as far away as the world was!

What's more, Lao Lu's "power side" is more than a little bit...... The magic side is just the tip of the iceberg, because the total economic volume here is too low to maximize the charm of money; The outside world is the world where Golden Godzilla is rampant!

"You know, now the newspapers can report to the limit, the real situation is much more serious than what you see!" Lu Yuan sneered.

London's Leaky Cauldron Bar, which leads to Diagon Alley, is probably now filled with paparazzi from The Sun! The major newspapers in the British Muggle world are reviewing "The Supernatural Events We Have Happened Over the Years" and "Why We Forget So Many Supernatural Events"β€”a blatant connection between the supernatural phenomena caused by the mage's carelessness and the aftermath of the Ministry's later use of amnesia spellsβ€”and brought them all together!

Nowadays, several famous places with frequent paranormal events, such as the Leaky Cauldron, the nine and three-quarters platform of London's King's Cross Station, the Boulder Wilderness, and Stonehenge in Wiltshire, are all surrounded by people. As a result, the mage has been almost blocked in the wizarding world, and the only passage to the outside world is a few portkeys and Floo Network nodes. For centuries, the magical side has relied heavily on the resources and logistics of the outside world, and the blockade has caused great inconvenience to the mages.

And an even bigger dilemma is on the horizon - more than a dozen movies and TV series about magic have already started filming, and even a lot of talk shows! When this film and television drama is released, it is expected to cause a long-lasting magic trend! And those Muggles who knew the truth, such as the parents of some Hogwarts students, and the Dursleys, who had just been heavily fined by the Children's Department, were tempted by the huge pounds in the "truth bounty" and wanted to show their ......

Now, all these complaints from ordinary people and the risks exposed to the wizarding world are all weighing on the Ministry of Magic, that is, Minister Fudge!

Fudge begged the British Prime Minister for help to block the news, but he didn't know that in the Muggle world, unlike the wizarding side, the so-called Prime Minister was nothing more than the spokesman of the capitalists! And Lu Yuan happens to be one of the biggest capitalists holding the hammer...... Every time he dropped, the entire wizarding world was shaken......

What's more, Fudge is still riddled with cheating cases, and his poll support is plummeting all the time, which can be described as a wolf and a tiger!

"Someone went up the mountain, do you guess he's here to surrender?" Elaine asked.

"I haven't had enough of it...... No, it's not ready yet. Lu Yuan hurriedly changed his words, "I guess he's here to deliver an ultimatum." ”

At the end of the courtyard, an Englishman was walking along the path.
