Chapter 213: Never Quarrel.
Popularizing the concept of law, the huge workload of the follow-up almost overwhelmed the newly established 'Legal Department' in Emerald City.
In the past month, everyone from the cook lady in the city hall to Li Aili, who is the lord of the city, has all squatted at their posts, receiving cases from all over the world from the devil at any time.
This is a very important part.
It will set up a benchmark called 'Law' in the hearts of all people, and establish the knowledge of the God of the Law by living beings.
"Your Highness, there's a problem here." Joanna, with dark circles under her eyes, brought a case.
"If the long-born species and the short-born species are guilty of the same crime, should they be sentenced to the same sentence."
Hearing this, the entire office was silent, and even the sound of flipping through the book was gone.
Everyone looked at Lee Ellie.
Staying up late and working overtime for days, Li Ailie's brain was dizzy, and when she heard this question at first glance, her thinking was still based on the experience of her previous life.
"Of course ......"
She stopped her voice just in time.
Wait, that's a big deal.
How should the long-lived species, which can live for thousands of years at every turn, commit the same crime as the short-lived species that live for 100 years in their lifetime?
"Of course, we in Emerald City are racially equal!
If the same crime is committed, it will only take 3 years for the short-lived species and 300 years for the long-lived species...... Oh! Isn't this racism, O God of Law?! β
Li Elli glanced at the speaker, who was a Tankar half-blood elf, an immortal.
"I'm against it!" Standing up was a capable pure human, short-lived.
"I'll give you an example, for example, for theft, the sentence is three to twenty years, and the specific sentence depends on the value of the stolen items."
"Twenty years is 1/4 of the life time for the short-lived species, but for the long-lived species, it is a very short period of time for you, right?"
"Then for the immortal species, even if you steal the seven secret treasures of the world! And only need to live in prison for 140 years! β
"Hell! Are you immortals finding an 'ingenious' way to make a fortune!? β
These words were like thunder on the ground, which directly detonated the heated discussion among the employees in the office.
Originally, the office, which was lifeless because of overtime, instantly turned into a toad pit.
No...... Much scarier than a toad pit.
At least, the toad pit is just noisy, and this side ...... As the language confrontation continues to escalate, the long-born and short-born species who are the first to speak have prepared a real PK to decide whose opinion is more accurate.
All kinds of folders are 'flying freely' in mid-air, and the brothers and sisters who used to work overtime together and share weal and woe are the 'class enemies' who decide their heads in the blink of an eye.
Li Ali and Joanna hid under their desks to 'take a break from the limelight'.
She took out an alchemy potion with a blank face, and with a flick of it, the base liquid in the bottle turned into a calming potion.
Very good, let's calm down first!
Just as she stood up to make a big move, the door to her office was kicked open with a thud.
The Duke's cold blue eyes were like 'forbidden spells', and he swept through the messy office.
His hand rested on the hilt of his sword, "What?" Is this a riot? β
The civilians of the Legal Department shuddered in unison and shook their heads frantically.
Their lord's husband is famous, but all of them are cut out by one head and one head.
Just kidding, 'The Kingkiller', 'The Bloody Grand Duke', 'Clark the Devil'...... In short, in front of him, even the evil species crawling out of the abyss have to be as well-behaved as a rabbit.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, we just had a little dispute over business." A civilian member of the Legal Department explained.
Although he did not throw out the calming elixir, he went the same way, and Li Aili said: "Rational debate, refuse to rise to fights." β
Soon, the long-lived and short-lived species spontaneously formed into two sides, the 'positive' and the 'negative'.
Under the gaze of the duke, who exuded cold air, the debate began.
However, should it be said that it is worthy of the 'legal department'?
Even under the low pressure of His Royal Highness the Duke, he did not make any concessions on issues involving the interests of his own camp.
The Duke walked through the noisy two sides and walked up to Li Elli with his subordinates (front).
"Oh dear, you came just in time."
Li Aili didn't realize that someone had unilaterally gone from 'quarreling' to 'cold war' with her, and finally reached the great harmony of 'self-persuasion' in life.
After a quick, sloppy hug of her husband, "Oh, yes, so, what's the matter with you?" β
Li Aili has been filled with brains filled with various criminal cases, and has excluded unreliable options such as 'visiting classes' and 'sticky during the love period', and directly locked in 'government affairs exchanges'.
Duke: "......"
He stared at his wife with a blank expression.
If Li Aili can read minds, then she must be able to see above the head of His Excellency the Duke: [I can only choose one of a hundred boxes of treasures, which one do you choose?] γ
[Change the question, me or work, which one do you choose. γ
All she saw was the Duke looking deeply at her with those charming blue eyes.
It's all 'old husband and wife', it's embarrassing to stare at her like this......
"I received a complaint from a subordinate against you."
Ellie Lee: "Ah??? β
The Duke stepped out of the way slightly, revealing the equally bewildered Edward behind him.
"You violated the rights of a husband."
"Because you illegally dragged his wife to work overtime."
"Caused him to stay alone in the empty house for a month."
Joanna: "......"
Edward: "............"
Ellie Lee: ".................."
The real old husband and wife quickly exchanged glances.
Joanna: [What's going on?] You said such disgusting things to Your Highness? γ
Edward looked back numbly: "Don't ask me. I do not know. It has nothing to do with me. γ
Joanna understood, and with a smile, she looked at the Duke who was complaining in the name of a former subordinate.
Why didn't I find out that this person was so ...... before? Hahaha!
Ellie Lee: "......"
She looked at Joanna, who had been working with her for a month, and then at Edward, who was 'forbearing'.
In the end, it was the clerk of the legal department who was arguing and arguing and trying to do it again.
"Vacation!" A certain city lord raised his head and roared.
The effect was immediate, and the overtime dogs stopped quarreling.
Li Aili nodded in satisfaction, and then added, "One day." β
"Whew......"
There was a feeble wail in the office.
But something is better than nothing, everyone packed up their things in the wind, and then scrambled out of the office like a loose dog.
The Duke was finally satisfied and brought his wife, who had been in the Cold War for a month, back to the castle.
"Conrad, I'm going to have cake! All kinds of delicious cakes! β
Those tricky cases were so terrible that Li felt like she was going to be bald for a month.
Now only the little cake can comfort her wounded heart.
Just as Conrad kept a graceful smile and turned to leave to prepare lunch, Lee received a message in hindsight.
There was a message from Joanna on the Arcane communicator:
[Share your experience: How to deal with your husband.] γ
[Share your experience: How to get your unjust husband to take the initiative to end the Cold War. γ
[Sharing Experience: How to Communicate Effectively with Your Knight Husband with Calm Mind]
γSharing ......γ
Ellie Lee: "??? She realized it later...... Her subordinates seem to think that she is ...... with her husband Quarreled?
Li Aili looked up, and the beautiful man sitting on the single sofa quietly looked at a book.
Perceiving her gaze, the man raised his head and clasped the book to his knees, "What? β
Li Ellie smiled and shook her head.
She must have been overthinking.
How could Arthur lose his temper with her?
Although they are both knights, Arthur is different.
Besides, they haven't had any disagreements lately.
"It's okay, I just remember the case where everyone quarreled before."
The duke's slender finger pressed on the book cover, cleverly obscuring the title of the book on it, "One Hundred Little Tricks for Harmony between Husband and Wife".
The Duke beckoned to Li Elli and motioned for her to sit down, "Maybe you can talk about it, and I can give you advice." β
Hearing this, Li Aili didn't expect that she could really get help from her husband if she said it casually.
After all, if this matter keeps arguing, the work behind it will accumulate more and more!
So Li Aili walked over to the single sofa where the Duke was sitting, and began to talk about the quarrel in the morning.
Arthur gently pressed the man to his lap.
Outcome......
The Duke was expressionless to find that his wife was so preoccupied with business that she did not notice the ambiguity at all.
"So, my dear, do you have any ideas?"
Duke: "......"
Inhale deeply.
"Why don't you ask the 'lawyer'?"
Li Ellie: "! β
She happily wrapped her arms around her husband's neck and kissed Arthur the side of his cheek.
Without waiting for the duke to react, she jumped away and immediately contacted a certain world-famous 'lawyer'.
ββ¦β¦ That's the thing, what do you mean, Pantisilin? β
This question did not stump Panticiillin.
"Is there a law that binds all races? You're a noble lord with exceptions. β
"After thousands of years of hard work, I can only expand the concept of 'law' among the members of the 'non-Zhilian'."
Li Ellie blushed from praise.
"Your problem is well solved."
"What do you think the law should be?"
"I don't think civilians need to be afraid of it when no one has offended it."
"And the criminal law will deter potential offenders who are about to make a move."
Li Ellie nodded, as if she was about to catch something.
"So, my opinion is that the life expectancy may not be the same, but we can find commonalities between different races as a sentencing standard."
Li Ellie: "! β
In a flash of inspiration, she and Pantisilin said in unison: "Money!" β
Everyone has a different lifespan, but even the Tankar elves have to work hard for mortgages.
"As you said, the theft of the Seven Secret Treasures, unless the death penalty is carried out, otherwise the benefits obtained by the perpetrators are not equal to the criminal law they receive."
"But......" Panticillin smiled, "we can make a system of fines." With a fine of more than the value of the Seven Secret Treasures, make those who are ready to make a move think twice. β
"Of course, the sentence must be imposed at the same time as the prison sentence.
The loss of money and freedom may allow some guys to weigh it up the next time they are 'ready to move'. β
