Chapter 521: circuit court

"my child!"
Seeing that his grandson was still hesitating, the old man's tone carried a hint of urgency.
"Don't you see that Paul Greiman has fallen? His body has been polluted and invaded by evil that came from nowhere. His noble soul that belonged to nobles has long been no longer pure. Ours The lord has become the spokesperson of the devil in the world, he... will bring disasters sooner or later, he has already brought disasters now, isn't the situation of our family a proof?"
The old man said angrily:
"If it's just the encroachment of wealth, that's fine. There are many lords in the world who **** the bones of the people. What can we do? We can only hope that his descendants will not be as greedy as his parents. But... But Paul Graham also humiliated us in character."
The young man shook his head in disbelief, "No, Earl Graham is a very easy-going person in life, how could he humiliate others for no reason?"
"Oh, my child!" The old man put on a sincere and earnest attitude, "For those who are really insidious, they don't bother to insult them face to face, and what they are keen on is to use a sharp dagger secretly. You knife. On the surface, they respect you, befriend you, and even flatter you, but in private they show their fangs like poisonous snakes, slander your reputation, ruin your prestige, and let your reputation stand out among everyone. The room stinks."
The young man murmured, "Has our lord ever done such a thing?"
"Did it?" The old man was a little amused, and he said sarcastically, "He does it every day!"
"My boy, do you know the Assizes?"
"I know."
The old man leaned on his cane again, "The existence of this so-called circuit court is a humiliation to us. As long as it exists, we will suffer humiliation every day."
"how so?"
"You know, my family has been in charge of this village since ancient times. Whenever the villagers have disputes, they will come to us for adjudication. This is due to the prestige accumulated by the family through the ages. People believe in our prestige. Believe in our justice and accept our order, so our family naturally has the right to adjudicate in this place. We have the power to punish those who make mistakes, and we even have the power to execute those who commit crimes. "
"However, since Paul Greiman established the Circuit Court, these natural powers in our hands have gradually been taken away. Every law he promulgates, almost every one of them is against us. Those evils who are supposed to die How many villains and hooligans have been released by the circuit court, let the scum continue to stir up trouble We live in peace and quiet."
"More importantly, this is a heavy blow to our family's prestige. What we say is no longer a final word in the village. Those ignorant mud legs no longer regard our words as the truth, and they turn to Huxin Town. The greater authority lays down its knees."

"This, this, this... Is there any greater humiliation than this? Cough cough cough."
Having said that, the old man coughed excitedly again.
"do you know?"
He stepped forward and grabbed the stunned grandson with such strength that the young man even wondered if the grandfather in front of him had become younger.
"Only a month ago, the patriarch of the family, the oldest man in the village, your grandfather—me, was severely humiliated by the circuit court."
The young man supported the excited grandfather to prevent him from falling, and asked in surprise, "What's going on?"
"A month ago, I gathered the whole village in the open space at the entrance of the village, intending to publicly punish the three thugs who evaded debts."
The young man asked: "Is it a debt owed to our family?" But he immediately felt that he was asking too much, and the only ones in the village who were able to lend money were his family.
"Yes." His grandfather answered naturally.
"If you owe money, you have to pay it back. This is a natural principle, but these three villains actually plan to leave and never pay back. There is no such good thing in the world."

The young man couldn't help asking: "Where are they fleeing to?"
The old man spat on the ground, "Hey, I'm going to work in the city, a bunch of scumbags! Ah, this is another major crime committed by Paul Greiman, what kind of factory is used to attract a bunch of scumbags to the city If things go on like this, whoever farms the land, won't the fields in the countryside be barren? Hmph!"
The old man turned the topic back to the insult he had received, "I asked the servant to tie up the three thugs, flogged them first, and then announced that they would stay at home to work and pay off their debts—for those who owed money and escaped It has been done since ancient times. Is there any justice in the fact that the families of the three thugs went to the Assizes to prevent me from punishing them? Is there any justice in it?"
The old man loudly questioned the air in front of him, as if Paul Greiman was standing there.
"Why? Circuit courts don't do that," asked the young man.
The old man said angrily: "The circuit court said that the interest we set exceeded the upper limit set by the lord ~ www.readwn.com ~ is usury."
"Go to **** with usury, boy, ask the nearby villages, is there any other lender who has a lower interest rate than our family? We give such a low interest out of kindness and mercy, and the lord even committed evil."
"Do you know how the circuit court's personnel work? At the beginning, I used the sacred tradition that cannot be desecrated as an excuse to stop their unreasonable troubles. The first time they came, there were only three people. After being reprimanded by me, they After Li Que ran out of words, he went back. But in the afternoon, they came, there were 60 people, most of them were so-called policemen, all of them were fully armed, holding shining swords, our family who has always been peaceful and peaceful Where have I seen such a posture. Under the banner of the lord, they broke into our manor rudely and brutally, and snatched away the three villains who owed money and did not pay back. My God, this is in broad daylight, and the current village is 600 It's done in front of many people."
Having said that, the old man covered his face with his dry hands.

"I...my old face is completely humiliated! This is a slap in the face, this is a slap in the face of our entire family!"
"The prestige my family has established in the village for hundreds of years has been lost in just one day... Alas!"
The old man sighed in pain.
And that young man fell into a long silence.
"Go talk to your father again, son."
