Chapter 331: Miss Lavinia
Lothar looked at the slightly dirty city with interest.
Even if in a sense, he is the creator of this world - but a copycat mobile game with a limited budget, at the beginning of the design, the depiction of the background and details will not be very detailed.
Unlike Eremer beside him, who looked around vigilantly from time to time, he sat on horseback, but calmly.
In the world of this combat record, there is no specific mission, and he doesn't really want to be a wage earner for the Saluzo family, so his mentality is very relaxed - even if he doesn't get Miss Valentina's approval, he has to travel as a tour.
Turin is a large city with a long history.
In the Middle Ages, North Apennines was one of the richest and most prosperous places in Europe and the birthplace of the Renaissance, but unfortunately he had never had the opportunity to go to Turin, not far from Milan and Savoy.
Not now, of course.
Not only was the rule of the wolf clan too rough, but the Mediterranean trade circle declined with the rise of the Atlantic trade circle.
It is also because the Apennine Peninsula lacks the resources of industrialization, and unlike many powerful countries that have overseas colonial territories that can plunder resources, it started late, and its local products are not competitive, and it is not at all the opponent of the large industrial products of the great powers at low prices.
But it's good that at least in Turin, there are no black chimneys to be seen.
Lothar and Eremer rode side by side, and the people they met avoided them, and even some well-dressed "gentlemen" frowned and ordered the coachman to give way to them.
This is because both of their mounts have Saluzzo's family crest tattooed on them in a high-profile manner.
Elemer also had a holster pinned to his waist, but it actually only had a powder gun in it, not a gun powered by magic and gunpowder, which was very lethal and only used to bluff people.
As an ordinary horned head that was not valued by the Saluzo family, he was not qualified to wear that kind of high-end firearm.
Court of Turin.
Lavinia looked at the file in her hand expressionlessly, her brows furrowed, and the pen in her hand kept recording the doubts she had found.
Then.
Suddenly, someone pushed the door and shouted in a hurried tone, "Miss Lavinia, someone is looking for you outside." ”
Lavinia put down the pen in her hand, looking a little puzzled, but still said, "I know, where are they?" ”
"It's in the reception room."
After he finished speaking, he took a deep breath before plucking up the courage to remind: "It's two people from the Saluzo family, do you want to hide?" I can tell them you're not there, or that you're out by chance, and ask them to come back tomorrow. ”
"Thank you."
"But no."
Lavinia bowed slightly, revealing a polite smile: "Even Saluzo's people would not dare to openly act against a city-state judge, and the bailiffs would not let them do anything wrong." ”
For her, it was no more difficult to confront the Saluzzo family than it was to overturn the sentence of the soon-to-be-executed felon.
The male judge opened his mouth and said in his heart, it is not without a judge who was beaten to death by the people of his family in the street, but he quickly came back to his senses and breathed a sigh of relief: "I almost forgot, your surname is Bologna, and your family is not much worse than Saluzzo." ”
The House of Bologna, although not one of the Twelve Superior Families, is one of the few large families in North Apennine, and many believe that Bologna will be replaced by Basilicata after he is expelled from the Twelve Families.
He took a deep breath and tried to compose himself, "Sorry, I'm a little too nervous, after all, they're family members. I was so scared. ”
"It's okay."
Lavinia smiled, got up and walked out the door.
Miss Lanivia, who was about to walk out the door, suddenly stopped and said, "Benito, don't be ashamed of your timidity, if I don't have a family behind me, I might be as scared as you are." ”
"Thank you."
Benito forced a smile on his face, and as he watched Miss Lanivia's vanishing back, he slumped in his chair in some despair.
Miss Lanivia, is she really scared too?
I always feel that even if you don't have the surname Bologna, you won't bow down to those family members, right?
When she saw Miss Lavinia for the first time, even Lothar couldn't help but be stunned.
This Miss Lavinia, fair-skinned, good-looking, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, full of majesty between her eyebrows, and a slim brown uniform, outlining the slender body line on her chest, in terms of appearance alone, may be slightly inferior to Prajna, but in terms of figure, it is already equal.
"Hello, Miss Lavinia of Bologna."
"What's the matter with me?"
Lavinia asked expressionlessly, "If you want to sue someone, you can go directly to the reception desk downstairs, and if you want to inquire about the prisoner, you can go to the Turin police station." ”
Elemer said bluntly: "We are here for the Lorenzo business. ”
"Well, and then what?"
Eremer said in an unkind tone: "Of course I let him go!" ”
Lavinia shook her head and said:
"I'm sorry, but your family's Lorenzo is awaiting a trial, and there is no possibility of parole. Moreover, Lorenzo of your family wounded and killed people in the streets, and there was all the evidence, according to the Turin Code, at least twelve years in prison, and you two could come here again after twelve years to pick them up. ”
"Have you thought about it?"
Elemer raised a hand and placed it on the holster at his waist: "You really want to be an enemy of our Saluzo family?" Or is this what the Bologna family behind you mean? ”
The bailiffs on the side looked at this scene a little helplessly, whether the sticks in their hands were lifted or not, and the members of the two families clashed, they often encountered this kind of thing, and they had always been as far away as they could to hide.
But now it is happening in front of them, and if the situation is allowed to escalate, they will certainly not have good fruit to eat.
"Assaulting a judge is a felony."
Lavinia looked at the two of them expressionlessly, and her tone was calm as if she was reading the law from the book, and she didn't hear the slightest threat: "Instead of asking me if I've thought about it, I want to give you back this sentence." ”
"Elemer, that's enough."
Lothar shook her head at Elemer, "Miss Lanivia, it's a shame we couldn't come to an agreement. Could you please have lunch with us? There are some things I'd like to discuss with you privately. ”
Ranivia was about to shake her head when Lothar added, "Miss Judge, you should know what kind of turmoil it would cause if the conflict between us was interpreted by the outside world as a conflict between Saluzzo and Bologna. By then, more than a few people will die. ”
Lanivia was silent for a moment, then nodded in agreement: "There is a nearby shop with decent pizza, please wait a moment, I'll go change into civilian clothes." ”
"It's an honor to have you with me."
Lothar said with a smile.
When Ranivia left, Elemer was a little puzzled: "What are you doing so politely with her, aren't we here to test her?" Don't be fooled by this woman's beauty, Lothar, she is the enemy of the family. ”
"Don't jump to conclusions."
Lothar said with a smile: "It just so happens that we haven't had lunch yet, if there is anything, it is better to talk about it at the table than to talk about it under the noses of so many people. ”
Lothar knows very well that the Saluzzo family, who have not completely escaped the suspicion of "two or five boys", is definitely not willing to conflict with the Bologna family now.
But the Saluzo family must not show this, this is the rule of the wolf clan, once the weakness is exposed, it will inevitably be attacked by the group, gnawing to the point that there are no bones left.
If the two of them really got into a fight with this Miss Lavinia and made a big deal out of it, Valentina would definitely be very unhappy with the result, because it could really lead to a formal confrontation between the two families.
