Gold is Justice

"It's a pity that Pelican City doesn't have the money to do these things. However, since I am now the mayor of Pelican City, I must set an example for my citizens!"

Ariel spread her hands, cooperating with the muffled thunder in the sky, and said loudly——

"Pelican City's finances can't support it, and our Mermaid Song can help support it!"

"I decided to transfer part of the funds from our Mermaid Song and remit it to Pelican City's fund account in the form of 'donation'. This money will be used to clean up the ruins of the city and issue pensions."

"I hope to do my best and use my best efforts to get our Pelican City back on track as soon as possible. Therefore, I also hope to get the support of everyone, let us work together for the Pelicans For the future of Liancheng, work hard!"

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

As Ariel's voice fell, the crowd immediately burst into warm applause.

Even if people can't understand those statistics, they can still understand that Pelican City has no money, but the president of Mermaid Song and the current mayor of Pelican City intends to use his own money to help Pelican City.And for most people here, they probably have never seen such a large amount of money for repairing Pelican City or distributing pensions in their entire lives.Therefore, they can only use the most sincere applause to express their heartfelt gratitude for the arrival of the new mayor.

"...It's over."

Amid the warm applause, Eddie was leaning on the chair, his face covered with ashes.

George looked at him and asked, "Why is it over? We can still say she was corrupt!"

Eddie looked at George with a look of disgust, and slowly said: "People have announced the city's financial revenue, where can they go to embezzle? And, do you know what the most disgusting place is?"

George: "What is it?"

Eddie: "It's this woman who openly announced that she will use her own money to repair Pelican City and issue pensions! Huh, because she used her own money, we have no right to blame her for not repairing the house. It is better, and there is no way to blame whether the amount of pension she gave has been reduced. She has donated money on her own initiative, so what can we do? If we continue to hold on to this issue to embarrass her, he will directly If you say, 'How much money does your association and the Holy See plan to donate?', the two of us will die immediately! Don't even think about it."

At this time, George also slumped in his seat.He pressed his hands on the armrest, looked at the gloomy sky, and said slowly: "Eddie, tell me... did the two of us really choose the wrong industry back then? Am I... I should have done it too. Go and study hard?"

Eddie: "Hmph, old Teng Shu? It's not the economics department that's amazing, it's this woman who's amazing."

George: "Really? We have always regarded the old Teng tree as a military academy, and the people who come out of it are either magicians or generals and soldiers. But now... I really think, if my child wants to enter the old Teng tree in the future As for Shu... let him study the economics department..."

Eddie: "Don't think too much! As I said just now, it is this woman who has the problem, not the economics department. Old Teng Shu's economics department will not produce such a terrible woman! Also, don't forget Well, we still have a killer trick that hasn't been used yet!"

George raised his hands, indicating that he would back down now and stop provoking the flame magician who seemed to be a little over the top.

On the rostrum, Ariel was explaining in detail how she planned to build the ruins of the entire Pelican City.Of course, she would not pay too much money, but the money was enough to restore the facade of the city to its original state.

As for those who lost their residences due to the fire, Ariel arranged them respectively in the new urban areas that she owned.The citizens who suffered from the disaster felt a little nervous about the need to live in a place where vampires lived, but such tension was only the beginning.Instead of continuing to live in tents or staying in other people's houses, it would be better to have my own house after all.

At this point, Ariel briefly finished the cleaning.But after that, when everyone thought she would talk about pensions, the new mayor changed the subject——

"Then now, let's try the robbers who caused so much trouble this time. Next is the trial time for the judge. I, the mayor, should step down first and wait for the trial to end."

Such a sudden change caught everyone present a little off guard. They looked at the new mayor one after another, and their thoughts were a little hesitant.

But soon, as the prisoners stood up in the front row and stood in front of the small trial platform, people finally came back to their senses, turned their heads, and turned their gazes to that side.

"Then now, the first trial of Pelican City will begin. Now I, Citrus from the Flower Fairy Clan, will be in charge. Those human prisoners below, do you have any objections?"

Compared with the other two, Citrus, the flower fairy, seems to be a little more lively.She sat on her wicker chair made of woven branches, looked at the prisoners below, and said.

Prisoners, you look at me, I look at you, and you don't make a sound.

Suta next to her has come to her senses now, she coughed lightly, and said slowly: "Okay, okay, let's start the trial now. First, let's follow the list row by row. Hmm... So first row, you stand here first, and next, I'm going to read the accusations against you."

Perhaps it was because the bangs were all put up, Suta seemed a little nervous.Her eyes flickered wildly, without any energy at all.

Seeing her like this, the citizens watching around couldn't help showing dissatisfied expressions.

"Cough, um, then... Judah, Nicholas, Nelson, Tam, Carnegie, Ivan, Toby, Murphy, Herman, Tyron. The above ten prisoners."

As the names were read, the prisoners got up one by one and slowly came to the rostrum.

"The above ten people, in this incident of attacking Pelican City, you committed very serious crimes for your own selfishness. You brutally killed a total of [-] citizens of Pelican City. Despicable. According to the laws of Pelican City, those who commit robbery and intentional homicide with despicable motives should be sentenced to death. Do you have anything to say about this?"

Perhaps, the days before this were too easy.

After experiencing the life of eating and sleeping except for playing cards and entertainment, these prisoners probably never thought that this final trial would actually make such a verdict!

Obviously, many of the ten prisoners were dumbfounded all of a sudden, and some of them felt their legs go weak after recovering.Some people couldn't even hold back their tears, and rolled down directly.

Also after Suta's voice fell, most of these prisoners immediately burst into tears and knelt down in front of the judgment platform.

"Forgive your life, spare your life!"

"My lord, don't do this! I have seniors and juniors! Please spare my dog's life!"

"It's not me! I didn't do such a terrible thing! I didn't kill people! I didn't kill those people! Others ordered me, and they all ordered me!"

"I'm guilty...but please forgive me again! Next time I...I will definitely change! Woooooo...I will definitely change my past!"

The first thousand and 240 chapters family

Facing these prisoners begging for mercy, Suta sitting on the stage seemed a little flustered, but the one-eyed man next to him seemed calm.He looked at the prisoners below, and said slowly: "You know how to beg for mercy now, when you all rushed into Pelican City, when you massacred the civilians here, why didn't any of you think about their begging for mercy? Didn't you even think about letting them go? Now you know how to cherish your life, and you know how precious life is."

Citrus at the side looked at the materials on the table, frowning and said slowly, "You want to beg for mercy~~~ but you killed so many people, no matter what, you should be sentenced to death Right? Do you need me to read one by one? Who did you kill? Whose blood was stained on your hands?"

Seeing that the prisoners were still weeping and trembling, Tangerine waved his hand and ignored them.

On the contrary, Suta, who had been a little speechless since the beginning, now exhaled slowly, opened the document in his hand, glanced at it, and said slowly and cheerfully: "Today's trial is fair. , if you feel that you have been wronged, you are free to speak up. However, I will re-read the crimes you have committed, and the people you have killed. The death penalty is definitely inevitable.”

Next, Suta began to recite the names written on the paper one by one, and she began to read the killing process of these robbers when they rushed into Pelican City.All these events were compiled based on the information obtained by the citizens who were present at the time and Song of the Mermaid himself. Every piece of information and confession can be combined with each other.Even after the confession was over, Suta took out rows of murder weapons from the evidence depository and placed them in front of these people to let them see if they had killed people with these brutal weapons with their own hands.

After finishing all this, Suta slowly touched the file in his hands, and said, "Is there anything else you want to say now?"

For these prisoners, the crimes they committed were so serious that even they themselves could no longer refute them. Looking at the murder weapons placed in front of them, all of these people bowed their heads and lowered their heads. Crying all over his face.

After a while, one of these people started to cry, and soon these cries spread like an infection.

Not long after, not only the majority of the 10 prisoners, but even the prisoners who had not yet been tried began to cry one by one.

The sound of crying spread in this square, as if they wanted to convey those sad feelings to the hearts of every citizen here.

But even so, things couldn't have changed in the slightest. After the people Suta watched reconfirmed whether they had anything to defend, he reconfirmed that they didn't intend to speak.

Afterwards, Suta raised the dossier that he had prepared in his hand, opened the first page, and opened his mouth...

"Husband! Husband?! Where are you? Why? Why are you in that place now?"

But just when Suta was about to recite the final judgment, a voice suddenly came from the other side, piercing the gloomy square in an instant.

The voice was too anxious, too panicked.Because of this voice, everyone's eyes turned involuntarily and looked in the same direction!It was also at this time that everyone saw the owner of that voice.

It was a woman in her 40s and [-]s, holding a little boy who seemed to be only five or six years old in her hands.

The two men were wearing coarse cloth with patches. The woman's face was full of anxiety and panic, while the boy's face was full of tears, and he was dragged by his mother.

The mother and daughter seemed to have given up everything, and tried their best to separate from the crowd and squeeze in.When they saw the prisoners in shackles standing in front of the judgment stand, the woman's emotions immediately collapsed, and she rushed towards the center of the square where the prisoners were sitting.

However, her actions were quickly stopped by the undead soldiers in charge of guarding. "Husband! Woooooo...! Husband, what are you doing? Woohoo... You haven't come to us for so long... What are you doing?!"

The woman's hand kept reaching out to the ten condemned prisoners, trying to scratch her lover.

In fact, she's not alone.In just a few seconds, there was another commotion outside the square!Immediately afterwards, a large group of women, old and young, squeezed into the central square, crying and rushing towards the prisoners.

"Woooooo! Husband! You... why were you caught?!"

"What are they trying to do to you? What have you done!"

"Don't! Is it true that they said they want to kill you? Don't! My lord... I beg you, my lord! I kowtow to you! No matter which lord it is, please let my husband go! woo woo woo..."

For a moment, the entire central square fell into chaos.The women who kept pouring in, the cries of the elderly and children were mixed together, and the prisoners seemed to recognize these women who came to talk, and each of them became emotional.

Now, these prisoners and those women are completely separated by undead soldiers. However, it is obviously difficult for those undead soldiers to resist such an impact without killing the killer.

Seeing this, Ariel, who was sitting on the podium, couldn't help frowning.After thinking about it, she immediately turned her head and looked at Eddie Invincible over there.

I saw that the flame mage now had a very calm expression, and even smiled at Ariel, putting on a look of "please deal with it".

Now that he has put on such an expression, it is self-evident who made this problem.

"This is...the court! You...please...be quiet!"

But just when Ariel wanted to speak and suppress the situation, Suta over there spoke a step ahead of her.

Although he still looked a little shy, the paladin now raised the knight tower shield from behind the trial seat, pulled out the mace, and hit the tower shield heavily.

Bang——————!

The huge sound spread throughout the central square, instantly suppressing those noisy voices.

Regardless of whether they were prisoners or the old and the weak, women and children, all of them turned their gazes to the trial platform in unison, looking at the woman holding the Paladin's shield in her hand.

"Give it all to me... Be quiet! This is the court! You are not allowed to make noise here! Everyone who maintains order, please step forward and maintain order!"

Following Suta's order, the workers of Song of the Mermaid immediately stepped forward, suppressing the chaotic situation in front of them together with the undead soldiers, and separated the women and prisoners one by one.

Although these women seem to be noisy, after all, after facing the organization of Mermaid Song, they still seem a little weak, and they are slowly separated, unable to rely on their relatives.

"Judas... Judas...! Woohoo... Come back... Don't you know magic? Use your magic to come back quickly...!"

The woman who was the first to rush in just now pulled her crying child with snot and tears.

Seeing all this, Suta couldn't help biting his lower lip and frowned.

"Can't you handle it?"

At this moment, the one-eyed man next to him said with a relaxed expression——

"Those guys are attacking you humans, so according to the agreement, this trial should also be dominated by you humans, presided over by you, a human judge. But if you really can't hold on, I can help you solve the matter. "

As he spoke, One Eye opened his mouth open, revealing the fangs at the corners of his mouth.

Seeing the vampire's fangs shining coldly under the thunderstorms, Suta couldn't help but shivered, shook his head violently, and said, "I'm fine, I can take care of it...don't worry."

As she spoke, she let out a little breath, looked at the prisoners in front of her, and said slowly: "Those...family members, please calm down. This trial will be absolutely fair, we will not let a good person go, and we will never No bad guy will be spared."

"You won't let a good man go? My husband is a good man! You... you, let him go quickly! I still have children... Did you mean to kill him just now? He still has children! Do you want to kill him?" Killing my husband, how could I not care about anything!"

The woman who claimed to be Judah's wife now seemed to be on the verge of breaking down.She kept trying to push the bodies of those blockers, trying to rush in.But no matter how hard she pushed, she couldn't get past the human wall.After having nothing to do, the woman suddenly stuffed the son in her arms into the crack, and pushed him into the square where the prisoners were.

"Go! Find your father quickly! They want to kill your father! Go quickly!"

"Woooooo... Dad...! Dad...! Woooooo..."

While crying, the little boy ran towards Judas over there.

Seeing the heartbroken expression of this little boy, the blocking personnel on both sides softened for a moment, and they didn't reach out to hold him.

Soon, the little boy ran directly to Judas over there, hugged the man, rubbed against his thigh continuously, and began to cry.
