Chapter 483: No money, no ticket
Located in a high-end residential area with good security in the capital, this house is relatively small compared to the surrounding houses. It should be built on the premise that there are two families similar to the servant's family.
There are no security guards outside the house. It is not known whether they are too late to hire or not. In short, this house is a bit too big for a master and a servant.
But it is not surprising to think of that young lady. At this time, Lin's mind emerged with the image of the young lady who was unwilling to compromise herself and insisted on living in a big house.
That's right, this is where Sebastian lives, and it was also found by the Axis Church after a thorough investigation.
It's just...
Lin looked at the empty gate and said in distress: "How should we get in? It seems that there is no way to get someone to report it."
"Master Lin, please forgive me for asking." Monica asked curiously: "What are we doing here? Based on your answer, I will respond accordingly, such as violent invasion."
"Stop, we are not here to cause trouble. On the contrary, we are here to help you. If a friend's things are dropped, we will naturally return them after picking them up."
Lin shook the purse in his hand.
The coins collided and made a pleasant ding-ding sound, and the reason for this pleasant sound was that there were ten platinum coins in this small bag.
"I see, I know." Monica nodded and said: "Then, how about we go up and knock on the door directly."
"Well... before you came here, you said that the inspector was here, right?"
"Yes."
"That's fine. Please knock on the door, Monica."
"As you command."
Accepting the master's order, Monica stepped forward and grabbed the door knocker, and then knocked three times without being too heavy or too light.
After a while, the peephole cover of the door was opened, revealing a familiar gentleman's face.
"...Excuse me, who is this?"
"Hello, Sebastian, I'm here to visit."
"Is it Mr. Lin? Please come in."
After seeing Lin, Sebastian was obviously stunned, but soon he seemed to understand something and relaxed again, with a faint smile on his face.
Pushing the door open, he invited the two in.
"I didn't expect you to come to visit at this time, this is really..."
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing. It's just that a guest arrived first. If you don't mind, can I entertain them first?"
"No, if you can, let's go together."
Lin was still smiling.
This request can be said to be very rude, but Sebastian was keenly aware of Lin's intention and answered after a brief thought.
"Of course, I just don't know if the other party will mind."
"It's okay, it's okay, they will agree."
To be honest, Lin came very timely.
Because before he came, the Kingdom Inspector arrived here first, and pointed directly at Qi Yalei who was rescued by Sebastian, which made the old butler, who was known for his calmness, sweat.
He thought of many excuses to refuse, but if he drove them away, it might cause more trouble. After thinking about it, he still invited the two in.
However, just when the Kingdom Inspector questioned the matter of taking Qi Yalei away, Lin appeared. Sebastian didn't believe that such a coincidence was not intentional.
Under the guidance of the old butler, he came to the reception room. There were three people in the room at this time.
One of them was fat but dressed neatly, wearing well-cut and high-quality clothes, and a heavy badge reflecting copper light on his chest to indicate his identity. The ruddy face was full of fat, perhaps because he ate too well, and a greasy luster appeared.
The other one had pale skin that looked like she had never been exposed to the sun. Her sharp eyes and thin face made her look like a bird of prey like a vulture or a hawk. Her black clothes were loose, and she must have hidden weapons inside. Most importantly, she smelled of blood and resentment, and the priests were most sensitive to these.
The inspector was now wandering back and forth between the face and chest of the woman sitting opposite with evil thoughts.
Her beautiful face and plumpness far beyond that of ordinary people, coupled with the arrogance and contempt that the noble lady was born with, could indeed cause some people to be in turmoil.
She should be the master that Sebastian served.
Her name... is unknown for now.
I don't know if it was because the plumpness of her chest was too attractive, even when Lin and Sebastian returned to the room, the inspector's eyes were still fixed on the lady.
"Is your look too rude?"
"What did you say? I'm an inspector, how dare you talk to me like that? Watch out for me...! I... I... Lord Lin?!"
The angry and red face instantly turned pale with fear, showing the people present what it means to change your face, and he was really a funny clown.
"What's wrong with you?"
"No, nothing..."
The cowardly inspector, after meeting someone with a higher status than him, suddenly became depressed and dared not speak out.
Not to mention that Lin is the second son of the Marquis and the favorite of Her Royal Highness the Princess, with his identity as the leader of the Akusis Church, it would be easy to punish him without any effort.
...Wait, what am I here for?
I'm not here to find trouble, but to question the criminals. I'm on the side of justice! And this bill was promoted by Her Royal Highness the Princess, so even if I have to be convicted, it's not my turn!
I have to say that people's brains turn quickly in critical moments. The inspector said quickly:
"Lord Lin, I am..."
"Stavan Black Commissioner, the inspector of the kingdom."
Lin was the first to tell his origins.
Inspectors are public officials who protect the security of the royal capital. They can also be the superiors of the guards who patrol the city. They have a wide range of powers and are inextricably linked to the upper-class nobles. That is to say, he is worried that it will bring trouble to his brother, otherwise Lin will not be chatting with him here at this time, but kill him directly.
"Do you, do you know me? I'm really honored. I also share the same relationship with Rebun..."
"That's enough. No need to say flattery. What do you want to do here? You can't just visit a friend like me."
The sarcastic words made the inspector look ugly, and he wanted to refute directly, but Lin's meaningful smile waiting for him to jump in made him more and more uneasy. But the atmosphere here is not good enough.
Gritting his teeth.
"Lord Lin, I think you should know that there is a law in the kingdom that prohibits the sale of slaves...and this is a bill proposed by Her Highness Lana, and was established after review. I received a report that the residents of this mansion violated the This law has been passed, so let’s check it out.”
The inspector promoted himself as a pawn of Her Royal Highness the Princess and a qualified inspector of the kingdom, and his words also showed that he was just doing the job that an inspector should do.
Lin nodded and said nothing.
The inspector thought he had been recognized, and gradually became excited and his tone became stronger and stronger.
"A store informed us that someone took away one of their employees, and we heard that the person paid a large amount of stolen money to another employee at that time. The kingdom's laws prohibit the sale of slaves... It sounds like this , seems to be a violation of this regulation?”
"As Lord Black Commissioner said, our...employees in the store disappeared. We questioned a man, but he actually said that he paid the person and handed him over. I discovered that this is not the slave trade prohibited by the laws of the kingdom? I didn’t want to believe that an employee in my store would do something like this, but I had no choice but to report it.”
"That's absolutely right! Such a dirty criminal act as slave trading must not be tolerated! Because of this, the shop owner would rather let his shop get a bad name than report it to the police! He is a model citizen!"
The two of them sang and talked better than they sang.
By interrogating the criminals as inspectors and victimized shop owners, they now stand at the highest point of the law.
I see, maybe there was a fourth person besides the Axis cultist present when Sebastian was talking to that man. Then the man did not come out to rescue his companions but just watched until Sebas rescued the prostitute and the man was killed by the Axis cultivator, and then told the store.
Do nothing to save your companions.
Although it is a disgusting behavior, it is extremely normal for them.
But what they said was wrong. The man did not receive the money, so it was not considered a slave trade... No, the man died after receiving the money, so it should be considered a slave trade.
Lin and Sebas looked at each other.
"That's what he said. Mr. Sebastian, do you have anything to say?"
"Well, it's true that I use money..."
"Oh, I almost forgot."
Lin suddenly interrupted Sebastian, then took out a money bag from his arms and placed it on the coffee table in front of him.
"Mr. Sebastian, I forgot. Today I am actually here to return the things you left behind."
"...Huh?"
The inspector didn't understand why the topic suddenly jumped here, but after listening to Lin's words, his expression suddenly changed.
"This is the money you lost in the alley, I picked it up for you."
"Really, thank you for bothering Mr. Lin. Oh? I didn't expect there to be ten platinum coins in it, which is exactly enough to buy a slave."
Sebastian stroked his beard gracefully.
As the saying goes, those who spend money count as slaves, and those who spend no money count as free slaves. The premise of slave trading is normal transactions. Since no money is used, it means there is no sale.
In other words, Lin and Sebastian could use this excuse to erase the fact of the slave trade.
"No, that's not right!"
The inspector shouted quickly.
But the next second, he covered his mouth, feeling annoyed as to why he had to shout out. He might as well use the donkey down the slope to escape and not get involved again.
This damn desire to win!
"Do you have any more questions, Inspector?"
"I, I...!"
His fat cheeks were covered with sweat, and white smoke was coming out of his head. He dared to say that his mind had never turned so fast.
Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration.
"Wait a moment, Master Lin. It is true that a transaction without money does not count as a slave transaction, but even if the money to buy a slave is ten platinum coins, how can you assume that the money here is the money to buy a slave?"
Win, I win!
The inspector had a happy face. He relied on his intelligence to finally find a flaw and win back the victory. He was proud and proud beyond words.
However--
Lin narrowed his eyes, his smile disappeared, and his cold tone carried a great sense of oppression.
"Are you trying to say that I'm lying to you?"
"This, this... no, no, it's just... it's just me, I... I'm following the bill implemented by Her Highness Lana, so, so..."
The inspector stumbled and was speechless. He finally realized that he had gotten a little carried away. Even if he gets an advantage now, Lin will have plenty of ways to teach him a lesson in the future, and he can't help but feel annoyed about his recklessness again.
Simply, Lin changed the subject.
"Indeed, what you said makes sense."
The inspector breathed a sigh of relief.
"Mr. Sebastian, do you have anything to say?"
"...Before pursuing this issue, wouldn't it be more problematic for the kingdom to allow her to engage in a job that could cause serious injuries without having a law to ban it?"
Sebas commented on Tsuare's injuries.
However, the shop owner didn't care and said: "The work in our shop is quite rigorous, so injuries are inevitable. You see, there are occupational injuries in workplaces such as mines. It's the same as that."
"I don't think it's an injury of that magnitude."
"Hahaha. We are in the service industry, and we have all kinds of customers. I have paid attention to it. Okay, I understand Mr. Sebastian's opinion. Next time I will be a little more... yes, a little more careful. Ordered.”
"…a little?"
"Hey, yes. Minding too many details costs money, and there are some problems."
In response to Sebastian's question, the shopkeeper raised his lips and smiled. Probably because he realized that Lin was still there and his expression was a bit proud just now, his words were a little softer.
However, this is also a handle.
"Can I ask, what kind of service industry do you work in?"
"Master Lin?"
Interrupted by Lin, the inspector hesitated and said: "Well... my duty is to confirm whether there is slave trading. It is someone else's duty to investigate the treatment of employees. This matter has nothing to do with this case."
"It has nothing to do with it?" Lin pretended to be surprised: "Before confirming whether it has anything to do with the slave trade, the identity and origin of the slave must be determined. After all, some people always use slaves as employees. Could it be Staffan Black Commissioner? Your Excellency, the Inspector, is not even familiar with the laws of the kingdom? It seems that I have to consider whether to advise Her Royal Highness, whether it is time for someone else."
"How, how could it be possible! I still know about this! Mr. Lin, regarding the slave trade - I have memorized all the bills promoted by Her Highness Lana. If you don't believe it, you can verify it!"
The inspector quickly flattered him.
He knew that as long as Lin opened his mouth, his good days would be over.
"Ha, of course I believe in the inspector's ability. After all, your ability is obvious to all. But..."
Lin stared at the pale-faced shop owner and said, "You said your shop is in the service industry, right? It's understandable that all kinds of customers can be served. And the employee is a woman. Isn't it a bit unfair to be treated like that?" Normal? In addition, the place of work is still in a dark alley. After thinking about it, I can only come to one conclusion. Could it be that her job is..."
--whore!
The originally pale shopkeeper broke out in cold sweat, his face became even paler, and he was no longer human. It seemed that Lin's words had completely revealed his true face in every sense.
As the only prostitute in the royal capital, their existence is not allowed, and this is a bill promoted by Princess Lana and approved by the king.
With Eight Finger's character, if anyone dares to threaten them, they will definitely be punished.
But now, he didn't dare to move.
Not to mention that Lin himself is a fifth-level priest, the maid following Lin, the old housekeeper in front of him, and even the eldest lady with a pretty face and a plump heart, they are like predators standing at the top of the food chain, dying. Staring at this helpless little mouse.
What can I do to escape?
He only felt that his hands and feet were cold and his whole body was shaking.
