Chapter 22: Huge fines

"This Kant & Debs should be the third child of the Debs family." Clyde said with a soft smile to Lin Lei beside him, and Lin Lei nodded. Lin Lei and Clyde were just watching the things happen, while the people of the Debs family were frightened.

Many of the Debus family members in the auditorium trembled nervously.

"Bang!"

The sound of chain collision sounded, and under the escort of two sergeants, a pale and thin blond middle-aged man walked into the court. The eyes of the entire court gathered at him, including Bernard, Kalan, Nimitz and others.

Seeing the blonde middle-aged man appear, Bernard sighed and closed his eyes.

"It turns out that it is the third brother of the Debs family, Kanter!" A series of discussion came from the audience. As the third brother of the Debs family, most of the nobles in Finlay City knew Kanter and Debs. At this point, it would be useless for the Debs family to argue.

Merit, sitting in the judge's seat, looked at Clyde, and Clyde nodded slightly.

"Bernard." Merit looked at Bernard, "Are you anything else to say until now?"

But Bernard did not look at Merit, but turned to look at his third brother, Kanter, and stared at Kanter. Kanter also stared at his elder brother, Bernard, and the two brothers stared at each other.

"Third brother, why do you do this?" Bernard's eyes were disbelief, and his whole body trembled in pain and anger.

"Sorry," Kante said softly.

Bernard smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said solemnly: "It's not that you're sorry for me, but that you're sorry for the entire Debs family. My Debs family has experienced many generations of hard work and hard work over the years to achieve today's achievements. But you, you..." Bernard couldn't speak in pain.

"Bang!"

Kanter knelt heavily in the courtroom, and tears flowed out from both lines.

"Brother, I deserve to die!!!"

The hand with the chains slapped hard on his face and cried bitterly, "Brother, I'm sorry, it's my fault. It's my lack of greed, it's my not satisfied with my little rights and wealth in the family, so I embezzled the family's money to smuggle. It's my fault, brother, it's all my fault!"

This scene surprised everyone in the audience.

Linley and Clyde also raised their eyebrows, and even Merit, who was on the verdict, frowned.

"It's time for this." Bernard raised his head and held back his tears. He seemed so desolate. "The third brother, it's no longer the fault of anyone. What you did has put our entire family in an unprecedented crisis. Bernard & Debs, as the patriarch of the family generation, can't face his ancestors even if he dies."

As he spoke, Bernard's tears still slid down.

Bernard suddenly looked at Clyde, knelt down in the direction of Clyde, and shed tears in pain: "Your Majesty, it is the misfortune of my Debs family that has made such a villain who betrayed the kingdom. As the patriarch, I, Bernard, cannot get rid of the blame. I, Bernard, would be willing to die in order to protect our Debs family. After all, most of the people in our family are innocent!"

Clyde looked at Bernard.

Then he looked at Merit and nodded slightly to Merit.

Merit knew what Clyde meant and immediately said loudly: "Now, the court will be adjourned in fifteen minutes, and the final verdict will be made!"

All the nobles who were attending the trial must leave the court one by one and only wait until fifteen minutes before they can enter the court again. The situation is now very clear. How to judge the Debs family's suspected smuggling crime is entirely up to Clyde.

Such a serious crime of smuggling can be completely implicated by individuals. Even if the Debs family is destroyed, it is reasonable.

Of course, Clyde can also be more humane, just punish the Debs family, at least to keep the Debs family safe.

What is the result, it is up to Clyde to decide.

Outside the court, Duke Bernard was with Lin Lei, talking to each other.

"Linley, did you see it? The direct descendants of the Debs family are really good. Kante was actually caught a few days ago, and Kante didn't commit suicide. He waited until he went to the court to perform this scene." Duke Bernard said with a smile.

Lin Lei nodded in agreement.

"If Kante committed suicide, I'm afraid the situation in the Debs family would be even more passive." Lin Lei said with a smile.

Kante committed suicide, and with Kante's body, it can be said that the Debs family was suspected of smuggling. The Debs family cannot defend themselves, and now Kante admits that he did it alone. This gives the Debs family a glimmer of hope.

Of course, whether it is life or not depends ultimately on His Majesty Clyde.

"Kill them all." Beibei, who was on Lin Lei's shoulder, grinned and sent a voice to Lin Lei's soul, "This Debus family is so good at acting. I, Beibei, can't stand it even after watching it."

Lin Lei couldn't help but smile when he heard this.

"Squeak~~~"

The gate of the court opened. It was already fifteen minutes ago. The nobles outside entered one by one and sat down safely in the auditorium. During the recession just now, only His Majesty Clyde, Merit and a few others stayed in the court.

"Linley, guess how did I judge?" Clyde smiled at Linley.

"I can't guess." Lin Lei simply replied.

Clyde smiled mysteriously.

"stand up!"

Merit stood up and said seriously. Suddenly, the entire court stood up. Merit held her head up and said seriously, "This court sentenced that the Debs family members 'Kant & Debs' openly carried out large-scale smuggling of water jade ore, with an extremely large amount. He was sentenced to hang and executed on October 11."

"This time the smuggling of water jade ore is worth nearly 40 million gold coins, the Debs family will be fined twice, which will be 80 million gold coins. Bernard & Debs will be released in court and the sentence will be completed."

As soon as Merit said this, Bernard, Nimitz, Kalan and other groups of Debs family members breathed a sigh of relief, but they were also helpless at the same time.

Eighty million gold coins!

What a terrifying number!

The property of the entire Debs family is only about 100 million gold coins. This is still the same as all fixed assets. If you have to pay a huge fine this time, you will definitely have to sell many fixed assets. This large-scale sale will definitely lead to bargaining from the other party.

Fixed assets have a total of nearly 80 million gold coins, but the possibility is too low to be sold for 80 million gold coins in the end.

"Linley, how about it?" Clyde looked at Linley.

Lin Lei nodded with a smile and said, "I admire you, I admire you."

The amount of fines for Clyde is set very coincidental, because the fixed assets of the Debs family are only about 80 million gold coins. If Clyde is really punished for "extermination", then Clyde will not get a single gold coins for the Debs family's working capital.

If the fine is too high, I am afraid that the Debus family will not be willing to pay the fine even if they die with their tribe.

These 80 million gold coins are not much or less, just right.

"Father." Kalan and others immediately came to help Bernard up.

But Bernard looked at his third brother, "Kante & Debs". Kant's face was dim at the moment, and he just nodded to Bernard. Since the smuggling incident was exposed, Kante knew that he would definitely die. Now that he died for the family, the family may still treat his son and wife well in the future.

Bernard also nodded to Kante.

The two brothers can understand what they think just by their eyes.

"Let's go back," Bernard sighed.

After this incident, the Debs family was greatly damaged and their economic strength was good enough to achieve one achievement. Since then... the Debs family has declined from the top tyrants of the Finlay Kingdom and can only be regarded as a relatively wealthy family.

Among Lin Lei’s mansion, there is a spring water garden.

Lin Lei was sitting on a chair, staring quietly alone.

"Lin Lei, what are you thinking?" Delinkowater emerged from the Panlong Ring.

Lin Lei looked at Delincowater and sighed, "Today, I saw the trial of the Debus family case, and suddenly I thought of my family. My family was originally circulating on the Magnolia Continent, but now generations of people have died, my father has died, and my mother has no idea of ​​life and death. Little Walton is now in the O'Brien Empire, and now I have no relatives in the entire Holy Alliance."

Lin Lei felt a strong sense of loneliness.

My parents are gone, and I am now doing something that cannot be seen - revenge!

On the road to revenge, Lin Lei's heartstrings were tight every day and he dared not relax at all.

Delinkowater looked at Lin Lei, feeling a little bit of care in his heart. Although Lin Lei was already mature on the surface, he was not at all afraid of dealing with those great nobles. But... Lin Lei was only seventeen years old, and he had just walked out of the Magic Academy.

"Linley, relax. Don't burden yourself too much, you have enough time." Delincowater comforted.

Lin Lei looked at Delincowater. Fortunately, Grandpa Delin and the playful and playful Beibei were accompanied on this lonely road.

"Grandpa Delin, thank you." Lin Lei said gratefully.

Delincowater laughed.

"I really want to know the news about my mother earlier and kill Clyde earlier." Not to mention why Clyde kidnapped his mother, but just separating his mother from his family for more than ten years, eventually resulting in his father's death. This alone is enough to sentence him to death.

"I don't know when the king of killing, Xisai, will send the poison prescription." Lin Lei felt a little anxious.

Lin Lei is looking forward to the arrival of the king of killing "Xisse", but day by day, Xisse has not come. In the blink of an eye, October has entered. In the past month, the Kingdom of Finlay is still calm. The main reason is that the Debs family is selling the family's property on a large scale.

Many families took the opportunity to bargain, but the value of the Debs family's fixed assets is indeed quite high, and there are many families who need it. Therefore, the selling price is not too low. Originally, fixed assets with 80 million gold coins were calculated, but in the end, more than 70 million gold coins were sold.

After paying a fine of 80 million gold coins, the Debus family finally escaped the catastrophe.

But after this time, the wealth of the Debs family almost shrank by 90%.

On October 10th, tomorrow will be the day when Kante was hanging. Lin Lei was practicing in the spring garden as usual.

"Mr. Lin Lei, Lord Xisey is here!" the maid shouted loudly outside.

Lin Lei ordered that once Xisai arrived, he needed to tell him immediately.

"Is Xisai here?" Lin Lei immediately put on a coat and rushed directly outside the spring water garden. At Lin Lei's speed, Lin Lei came to the outside of the living room in less than ten seconds. At this moment, Xisai, who was still wearing a loose robe, was crossing his legs and drinking tea in the living room.

"Mr. Sisse." Lin Lei shouted from a distance. In a few steps, Lin Lei entered the living room.
