In fact, by the time the merchants who opposed the lord realized that the situation was not right and were ready to arrange a way back, it was already too late.

It's true that the demons don't care much about the economy many times, but that doesn't mean that Vincent is the same.

During the previous wars, the demons plundered supplies everywhere mainly to feed the servant army, and they did not have much need for most of the necessities of life.

However, in times of peace, failure to solve economic problems means that the lord loses the support of the people and the legitimacy of the ruling party is questioned.

If you can't eat a full stomach, it is definitely impossible to consume other entertainment products.

If you can't consume entertainment items, you can't be happy.

An unhappy populace cannot become a believer in the craftsman god.

If you can't become a believer, Vincent's happy life of playthings will not come.

Therefore, whoever dares to make himself unhappy for a day will make him unhappy for the rest of his life.

If the demon lord said so, he would naturally do the same.

A large contingent of city dwellers and the lord's subordinates began to make their way to the designated merchants.

Although the reason given by the lord was to check the taxes, the merchants were not fools, so how could anyone take a large group of armed skeletons and mobs to the streets to check the taxes?

After thirty years of demon rule, the people are not afraid of monsters, and they know that the new lord's men will not hurt anyone.

However, a thief with a weak heart will not think so.

A dozen or so merchants who had openly played against the lord at Luke's instigation looked at the shops they had operated for many years, the warehouses full of goods, and the mansions piled up with gold coins, and complained bitterly.

"Your Highness, this is the Wenxi Chamber of Commerce, the president sent the account book and opened the warehouse to be inspected."

Standing in front of a large mansion surrounded by a large group of skeletons, Vincent looked at the large stack of ledgers sent by the lich, and casually flipped through one of them, and looked dismissive.

"I'm a demon, I can't understand this!"

Seeing that the lord had no intention of checking it, the president of the Chamber of Commerce calmed down a little.

Those ledgers are so thick and complex that no one can read them except the people who do them.

How many goods you handle, how much you sell, how much taxes you need to pay, it is impossible to find flaws in the account books.

As for what has been sold, there is no proof of it.

"However, I received a report that you have been shoddy all year round, short of catties and pounds, and smuggled prohibited items, making a lot of money but not paying taxes according to the tax rate."

Vincent dropped the ledger and sneered, his confident expression making the guildman's heart furious.

"The previous lord was bribed and took a loan from you, so naturally he will not be held accountable. However, that period of lawlessness is over, and from today onwards, no one should be left behind for me and the people! ”

"My lord, I am a law-abiding businessman, and I have never done what you said, someone must have framed me." The president and his subordinates were about to harden their mouths, "Even if those people come, I will not agree with their false accusations." ”

Hearing such stiff words, some people in the crowd behind Vincent shouted in dissatisfaction.

"Everyone, be quiet! I am a person with the spirit of the rule of law, and human testimony alone may not be enough to prove the truth. Vincent calmed the mood of the people, and then turned back to the president and said, "In addition to human evidence, there must also be corresponding physical evidence. ”

There is definitely no physical evidence, and in order to avoid tax inspection, the chairman has already disposed of his goods in advance.

"I understand, you don't want to admit the words of the living, so listen to the words of the dead."

Vincent snapped his fingers, and the necromancer behind him understood, raising his skull staff and chanting the incantation.

It didn't take long for the screams of women and children to be heard in the backyard and garden of the Chamber of Commerce.

The president's family members turned pale and rushed out, and strange footsteps and frightening shrill howls could be heard behind them.

Soon, even the men and workers inside rushed out in fright, and behind them were actually some screaming gray-white undead and mutilated skeletons.

"If I were you, I wouldn't bury the dead in the garden or throw them into a dry well." Vincent gave a piece of advice to the president, whose face was as pale as snow, "What do these people know that would make you want to murder?" ”

The resentful undead may have lost their bodies, but their memories are well preserved.

When necromancers give them the power to take revenge, some people have to worry.

"Use psychic spells to get them to talk." Vincent instructed the necromancer, "Don't frighten the people, they are allowed to sit in and testify." ”

Many people believe that dead people cannot speak, and for this reason they do not hesitate to kill others to cover up their sins.

But for the devil, this is a ridiculous misunderstanding.

In Vincent's demon country, the testimony of the dead soul is considered valid evidence.

It is also time for the territories on the mainland to learn from the advanced international experience and let the building of the legal system develop iteratively.

An indictment that the people present will never forget, full of weirdness and curiosity, began.

However, these ghosts who are full of nonsense are the last people the president wants to see.

"Ah, I actually killed my business partner and embezzled the goods!" Some people exclaimed, "And throw the dead into the well!" ”

"This poor little fellow, working for this profiteer, was actually twisted off his neck because he saw the prohibited goods!" The women's eyes widened, "He's still a child!" ”

"This unfortunate account house, who knows too much, wants to take advantage of this to get benefits, but he was actually poisoned and killed." One drunkard said with trepidation, "Although I did it myself, I will never buy his wine again!" ”

"Who can afford such a high loan shark!" The debtor was afraid and whispered happily, "It's good that this guy is finished, otherwise I would have been forced to die like that ghost!" ”

A series of sins told by the undead were exposed to the bright moonlight, and the president's face became more and more gloomy.

"I searched all the places they said, and I don't believe they can all be transferred." Vincent ordered his subordinates, "The law will not wrong a good man, nor will it spare a bad man." ”

The Wenxi Chamber of Commerce is finished! When people thought of this result, they couldn't help but stare at the president who had already weakened his legs with the eyes of a demon.

It's really a human-faced beast heart, not even a demon.

"It's not something that can be solved by paying back taxes." Vincent had the undead testimony recorded, and only then did he say to the president, who had long since dared not face him, "Sixteen murders, more than one every year, and only in the city......"

"Lord Lord, please, I confess my sins, please let me go, I don't want anything, I don't want to go to the guillotine......"

The guild leader knelt at the Demon Lord's feet with a "normal" cry, grabbed his boots and pleaded repeatedly.

"Get out!" Vincent kicked the president out, "Let's go confess to the pastor of the church." ”

Then, Vincent stood on the pile of goods piled up at the door, shouting to his subordinates and the people below.

"I declare Dalma, the president of the Wincy Chamber of Commerce, guilty! In addition to tax evasion, smuggling, and hiding contraband, multiple murders have been committed! ”

"Dalma's motive for committing the crime is particularly despicable, the subjective malice is extremely deep, the means of committing the crime are particularly cruel, the circumstances, consequences and crimes of the crime are extremely serious, and the social impact is extremely bad, and he should be severely punished in accordance with the law!"

"According to the law, the death penalty should be imposed, and all personal property should be confiscated, the families of the victims should be compensated, and the gods, the dead and the people should be apologized and repented!"

"His property will be auctioned, and the materials urgently needed by the city will be sold to the people at a discounted price!"

I don't know if someone supported it from the bottom of his heart, or if it was arranged in advance, and the people below applauded and cheered.

"Send him to the Louis XVI Happy Stage!"

"Profiteers pay with blood!"

"The others can't be spared!"

The excited crowd roared in unison for the lord's wise decision.

It is the nature of the people to hate the rich.

Dissatisfied with the profiteers for a long time, and unable to stand the recent high prices and shortages of materials, the people saw that justice had been served and the market had been replenished, and they all recognized it from the bottom of their hearts.

In addition, the people are simple, who can refuse this refreshing feeling of the blue sky lord making decisions for the people and avenging the innocent!

Almost everyone was in high spirits, roaring, stomping, waving their arms, and demanding that the trial continue.

When some of the undead heard the verdict, they stopped wailing and screaming, and in an instant they became thin and transparent, and disappeared without a trace.

"God, this is a miracle!" The church pastor who accompanied him lamented, "It turns out that justice is the best purification." ”

The Chamber of Commerce was sealed, and the deserving president and his family were dragged away, and what awaited them was to be sentenced and executed at a later date.

When the people saw the lord's thunderous methods, they were all convinced, and they shouted again and again, urging the lord to quickly go and inspect the next one.

"Luke, don't worry, wait for me at home." Vincent walked in front of the growing group and curled the corners of his mouth, "Compared to him, your sins and oil are greater, and you have more enemies......"
