Chapter 478: Passed in Advance

The whole case is not complicated, and it is not complicated when it involves so many people from top to bottom.

They rely on the fact that no one comes to investigate, and there is no cover-up at all.

After all, the upper and lower levels are in the same boat, and the defendant and the judge are one and the same. It is really who sues the official in the court.

When the powerful blow from top to bottom comes, it will be called sweeping the house.

In the end, the businessman Toby knelt on the ground with a pale face.

After making a fortune in the past few years, he must have done a lot of illegal things.

But Earl Jeffreys was too lazy to try him.

"Your Majesty's oral order, Toby... do you still have a conscience?"

Earl Jeffreys brought the question from His Majesty the Emperor.

Everyone present was pale and felt the same.

Toby trembled, knowing that he could not escape this time.

He just knelt on the ground and kept confessing: "Your Majesty is merciful, I have no conscience, I am not a human being, please Your Majesty deal leniently with my family."

At this time, the only thing he prayed for was his family.

He didn't even mention offering his wealth, otherwise wouldn't it be a deal?

Unfortunately, all this is wishful thinking.

Earl Jeffreys said coldly: "Your Majesty orders that Toby's nine clans be exterminated, skinned, stuffed with grass, and burned with sky lanterns."

Others are still waiting for their fate, but the instigator has already been doomed.

Toby himself was scared and kept talking to himself, why is it so? Why is it so?

He was unwilling, and the crime he committed did not need such torture, right?

On the other side, Peter also said sinisterly: "Don't worry, I brought the illegitimate children I hid for you, and I guarantee that your family will leave in an orderly manner."

The merchant Toby looked at him with wide eyes, as if there were dirty words constantly spewing out.

Even Earl Jeffreys looked at it in surprise. Killing people and breaking their hearts, do you still want people to thank you?

The trip to Sand City is not a trouble at all.

Count Jeffreys led the team to arrest and kill people, very simple.

Derek's intention was not to let him really investigate the case, but to let him see the real lawless criminals.

Even when Daxia was at its peak, there were still people who dared to deceive the superiors and subordinates and despise the law, which shows the collapse of the judiciary.

This was the task assigned to him by His Majesty the Emperor.

When they returned to the imperial capital and met again, Count Jeffreys reported the case to His Majesty the Emperor: "327 people were involved in the case, the highest being the governor of a province, who ignored the people's feelings and neglected the treatment.

There are also stupid insects in various departments of the imperial capital, who usually accept bribes from below, but at this time they actually act as spies and intercept petitions.

The merchant Toby's family has been sentenced to death, please judge by your majesty."

After listening to Derek, he actually knew the result a long time ago.

This kind of thing, you can know the hidden truth at a glance, and it is not complicated in nature.

What really hurts him is the corrupt Daxia bureaucrats in just a few years.

Maybe it's hard to predict people's hearts. To say that these officials are not loyal to him?

It is clear on the panel that many of them are loyal ministers.

But loyalty does not prevent them from making money and being corrupt.

The corruption from top to bottom can be seen.

This is inevitable. It is easy to build an empire, but it is difficult to govern.

The system must be improved bit by bit and tried to be perfect.

Derek thought for a long time and finally ordered: "Those involved in the case... shall be executed, and their immediate relatives shall not be officials or do business."

Killing in a circle is definitely not a small number.

Only a founding emperor like Derek dared to do this.

Count Jeffreys had no objection, and his mission was completed.

Next, it is to improve the law, promulgate some urgently needed laws and regulations, and then continue to improve.

Derek sent Count Jeffreys away, but he was still depressed.

This kind of thing is hard to prevent.

It doesn't matter. Those powerful people are not much better.

But now it seems that Count Jeffreys has made up his mind and is bound to do something.

Derek, who was in a bad mood, could only suppress his anger and wait.

…

The recent arson case did not cause much of a stir among the international students.

At most, some people sighed that the laws of the Great Xia Empire were strict.

If we compare the worst, the Lionheart Kingdom is far better than the Great Xia Empire.

Ever since Jos came back from visiting the plane, he has been a little obsessed.

The strength of the Great Xia Empire has exceeded his understanding.

Some international students, like him, are confused and extremely eager for knowledge.

But they are a group of outsiders, and it is not easy for them to walk freely, let alone talk about knowledge.

Fortunately, there are teachers.

The preparatory class teachers are very enthusiastic, actively understand the students' thoughts, and take them to participate in some activities of the Great Xia students from time to time.

Jos's Great Xia language is already very proficient, and free communication is not a problem. If you don't look at his skin color, at most you will think he has a country accent from somewhere.

That's why he can understand the communication of the Great Xia students.

Compared with the Lionheart Kingdom, the speech here is bolder and the ideas are more advanced.

The inspiration that was revealed casually, the spirit of commanding and the confidence of a great country, all deeply influenced Jos.

Under the careful guidance of the teacher, he began to change his mind unconsciously.

Daxia is so advanced and free, why should he go back?

Study hard and then stay in Daxia.

Jos set a new goal.

On the contrary, although Germain was also touched, he wanted to return to his country to change his country.

So, the teacher applied for an early exam for Jos, who was better at language learning, and successfully obtained the admission certificate.

If someone is interested in statistics, they will find that those who got the completion certificate are all the international students who are interested in Daxia.

Thoughts are also weapons.

On the day before moving out of the apartment, Germain helped Jos pack his luggage while complaining: "My Daxia language is not worse than yours, why did I fail the assessment?"

Jos packed his luggage with a happy face: "Don't worry, you will graduate soon, and then we will live together again."

In a foreign country, the two of them have a good relationship.

Germain complained a few more times, but he didn't have any other ideas.

Jos hesitated for a while, but still mentioned: "I think you should get in touch with Daxia students more. They are knowledgeable and full of vitality. More communication will help you better master Daxia language."

Germain was a little hesitant. He went to several gatherings of Daxia students. Although it was very lively, he didn't like some remarks full of arrogance of big countries.

But compared to staying here alone, he still overcame that little discomfort.

"Okay, I'll tell the teacher later and try to catch up with you as soon as possible."

Jos saw that his only friend had come to his senses, and he immediately laughed happily.

So overnight, one-third of the apartment was empty.

The officials from the Lionheart Kingdom didn't notice anything wrong at all, but were secretly delighted.

The extra room can be rented out, and then... hehe.

Jos didn't know that his departure had increased the income of the officials of the kingdom. He was carrying his luggage and walking into the university with hope.
