Noble Emblem

In Beta's 'home', there is a very high level of research on human psychology, vision, and even color matching. And many commercial activities that serve people have also come into being.

For example, jewelry design.

Unlike this world, there are many highly educated women in my hometown and their IQs are definitely not low. But as long as they have money, they will definitely pay a so-called ‘IQ tax’.

Even such a group of women with high knowledge and IQ cannot resist the charm of modern jewelry, let alone this magical plane.

After the sensation on the first day, the price of all jewelry in the new jewelry store doubled.

In response to the doubts from the outside, the jewelry store responded by saying that there was a big discount at half price on the first day.

This move made all the nobles feel that their wallets were crying, and the ladies were depressed.

Only a few people who bought jewelry yesterday were very happy.

Many nobles checked the origin of this jewelry store. If the background was not enough, they didn't mind taking advantage of it secretly. But upon investigation, it was discovered that all the evidence pointed to the source of the jewelry store being the City Lord’s Mansion.

Can't afford to offend, can't afford to offend.

All the nobles who were thinking about it immediately suppressed their thoughts. The big businessman originally suspected that this jewelry store was from the main city, but now it is just confirmed.

It’s not that the quality of jewelry is poor, but it can attract customers if it’s cheaper.

Those who can afford jewelry are rich people. Rich people pay more attention to a ‘style’. The same is jewelry. At the banquet, I wore a higher-priced, better and more beautiful jewelry. Even if the quality was only a penny higher, it was still a big win, and the other party was a loser.

The other party in the entire banquet will be suppressed by him.

In other words, with the jewels of the new jewelry store in front, there is no point in continuing to open the big businessman's store. Not many nobles will buy jewelry in his store.

Although there will still be some business in the old jewelry store, it is almost impossible to make money while lying down.

Seeing that the jewelry store was empty, the big businessman slapped himself hard: "I shouldn't have believed Sharp's lies in the first place."

Then he hurriedly prepared gifts and wanted to meet Beta. As a result, he was blocked by the guard who had already told him about it. He sneered and said, "You, a businessman, can see the city lord whenever you want?"

At this time, the big businessman realized that he was really nothing.

The business of the other two nobles also encountered obstacles at this time. Many nobles, as well as wealthy businessmen, have noticed the current situation of these four people.

They were all watching the show and gloating.

The city lord's mansion's counterattack was completely in line with the rules. The other party did not use force or act recklessly. As for the fact that public opinion harms people, it was Sharp who made the first move, and the city lord just fought back legitimately.

Everything was within the rules, so the nobles did not feel sad that the rabbit died and the fox died. Instead, they felt that the city lord's palace had been very restrained.

Otherwise, it would be very simple to kill these four people with just one giant dragon.

With great power, he can still act according to the rules. Such a superior person will give people a good feeling. At least you won't have to worry about being killed for no apparent reason.

Almost all the nobles knew about Sharp's ambitions. At this time, the entire upper echelons of Watkin City were watching how Beta brought Sharp down.

The methods and means used by Beta will determine the policy that the nobles will use to get along with the senior officials of Waking City in the future.

In the study room of the City Lord's Mansion, Beta listened to the report from the temple's special intelligence organization.

"Viscount Sharp's bodyguard is missing one person. In addition, we found a maid who escaped from his house. She was beaten so badly that she was almost dead."

Beta asked: "What are the identities of the disappeared guards and maids."

"The guards were brought by him from other cities and should be his slaves. The maids are citizens of our Waking City."

"How is the damage done to the maid?" Beta raised her eyebrows.

"It's very tragic." The secret palace guard reported: "If she hadn't been in better health from farming since she was a child, she would have been dead. Several bones were broken."

"Protect her, give her adequate treatment, and tell her that I will support her and let her testify against Viscount Sharp."

"I understand." The dark palace guards withdrew.

Shirley was beside him and said with a smile: "I thought you would support the guards."

"There is no problem in supporting us in private." Beta said calmly: "But now it is a public struggle between us and another force. The guard is a slave, and the master does have the right to kill him, so he can only put it aside temporarily. The breakthrough, It can only be the maid who is a citizen."

"I understand." Shirley stood up: "I'm going to secretly build momentum now."

Sharp was very agitated at this time. He did not expect that he would be further hit. At this time, his focus is still on fighting against Beta's public opinion attack, and finding ways to resolve the situation where the weapons store is suppressed.

After much thought, he had no choice but to find someone to form an alliance with. As a result, all the nobles rejected him.

"A bunch of cowards who don't understand unity."

Sharp felt very humiliated and extremely angry.

He was so angry that he couldn't sleep and almost beat a guard to death. Now the servants in the entire manor were frightened, and no one dared to say a word.

Only his lover, his former daughter-in-law, dared to bring him a glass of soothing medicinal wine and said: "Viscount, it's time to drink medicine."

The next morning, he finally felt sleepy. Just when he was about to take a nap, he heard the guard say in panic: "Master, it's not good, our manor is surrounded by city guards."

Sharp's hand trembled, and he exclaimed: "This is impossible. Beta is the pope, and it is impossible for him to openly violate the goddess's teachings."

"But our estate was really under siege."

Sharp said angrily: "I'll go take a look. I don't believe that Beta dares to openly violate his own principles of fairness."

He took his guards with him and went downstairs angrily, and then he really found that the manor was surrounded.

And floating in the sky was a beautiful woman with butterfly wings.

Everyone in Waking City knows her, one of the Pope's women, Judy.

"What did I do that deserves Ms. Judy's own action to arrest me?"

Sharp knew that if they wanted to kill him, they would have done it long ago.

"Ms. Emma ordered that Lord Sharp maliciously harmed others. Now that he has been accused, since you are a noble, please go to the city hall. Convict him in court."

Sharp was so angry that he was shaking all over: "I am a noble, and you are insulting me."

"It is precisely because you are a noble that there is a process of court conviction. Otherwise, you will be arrested directly and put in prison."

"good!"

Looking at Judy's cold eyes, Sharp laughed angrily: "I'll just see how Beta judges me and for what reasons."

Sharp was first taken to a small room in the city hall. He was not restrained and simply allowed to stay. He was also entertained with fruit wine and delicious food, but he just couldn't leave.

Sharp understood that this was house arrest in disguise.

He knew that he lost this time, but he just didn't understand why Beta would rather let Fortune's reputation be tarnished than deal with him.

The most he wants is some power, why does he hate it so much?

I couldn't figure it out after thinking about it, and the whole morning passed.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, Sharp was invited out again and escorted out.

Are you preparing for a so-called public trial? Sharp was a little scared and a little angry. He thought it would be a good thing to exchange his own death for others to look down on the God of Wealth.

Anyway, I have lived enough.

When Sharp was brought to the city hall hall by Judy, he was surprised to find that it had been arranged like a synagogue. Many wooden benches were temporarily moved over, and sitting in front of the slightly higher main table was Angel.

The Inquisitor is not a Beta?

Seeing Sharp being brought in, there was a roar in the hall. Angel struck the table with a wooden hammer: "Quiet."

The hall fell silent for a moment.

Angel is a dancer after all. She is very charming and can easily attract the attention of others.

Sharp looked over at the observation seat. There were at least a thousand people in the dense crowd looking at him.

And the first few rows were filled with nobles who looked familiar or were quite familiar. They stared at Sharp with a look of schadenfreude.

Sharp was taken behind a small table on the left. There was a magic circle running on top of the table.

Angel knocked on the table and continued to shout: "The prisoner has been brought here, please come on now."

Sharp saw a woman in black walking out of the small door opposite. This woman had a clear nose and a swollen face, and looked extremely miserable.

His heart skipped a beat.

He finally knew why he was caught, and he finally knew where he had made an oversight.

This maid is not his slave.

"Now the first public trial begins." Angel read the lines that Beta taught her: "From now on, nobles who break the law will be convicted in this way. Before the trial begins, I must introduce one thing to everyone. The prisoner and the victim The magic circle on the table in front of you is a lie detector. If someone tells a lie, it will turn red for four seconds."

Sharp's face suddenly turned livid.

Everyone in the hall was in an uproar.

In this way, Sharp doesn't even have a chance to slander.

What happens next is simple. Under the influence of the lie detector test, Sharp confessed his crime before even ten minutes. He knew very well that in the face of lie detection, any resistance would be in vain.

Afterwards, Sharp was convicted of 'intentional serious injury to others'. A fine of one hundred gold coins was imposed, one of which was the cost of the public trial, and the other ninety-nine coins were paid to the victim.

Such a large amount made all the nobles tremble. The civilians and even businessmen who came to hear the trial all cheered on the spot.

This is not the end. Sharp was also sentenced to five years of labor reform, the first nobleman to be sentenced to labor reform.

The results of the public trial spread throughout the city within one day.

The commoners held a carnival that spread throughout the city, while the nobles all felt like mourning their heirs.
