The Hero Who Troubles the Heroes
Vol 4 Chapter 1081: Charles is working overtime.jpg
The latest website: The last day of the divine calendar in 1928 is the beginning of the New Year's holiday. Whether it is the devil or the brave, it will start to rest from today to spend the days leading up to the new year.
The snow stopped before dawn, and when the sun came out, it was cloudless.
The landscape room on the north side of the third floor of the White House is equipped with large glass windows on three sides. Sitting on a comfortable sofa, making a pot of tea and opening a book, you can spend most of the day lazily.
If you are tired of reading, standing behind the window, you can see the beautiful North Garden and the maple forest in the distance.
Today's view room is very lively, the air conditioner makes it very warm, and the soft music from the gramophone makes people feel very comfortable.
Aunt Coriander has entered retirement mode. Today, she is sitting in front of the easel behind the window of the scenic room, and is concentrating on painting the white mountains in the distance.
Her painting skills are good, and the mountains run to the canvas through the brush.
On the sofa next to her, Vichy was half-lying, holding a book of folk tales from the Northland in her hand, and she was fascinated by it. From time to time, she picked up the nuts from the plate next to her and stuffed it into her mouth.
In the corner of the room was a World of Warcraft chess board, and Rigoletto and Cesare were inextricably slaying.
Although Rigoletto consciously leaned back when he was working, on the chessboard there was no distinction between high and low.
As a court nobleman, he needs to master one or two specialties such as piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and Rigoletto is a master of Warcraft chess.
Today Tarantula tied her long red hair into a ponytail and hung it down in front of her, sitting next to them watching their two evenly matched chess players fight between square inches.
Next to the door of the scenic room is the piano room, which houses an expensive piano, other musical instruments in the cabinet against the wall, and many scores on the bookshelf on the other side.
Ellie was sitting in front of the piano, familiar with the keys, while Mantua was sitting by the side tuning the violin. The two of them found a sheet music for piano and violin ensemble and were about to try it out.
Opposite the piano room is the activity room, and next to the pool table, Felix is holding the cue and watching Hillary prepare to smash the second ball into the bag.
On the other side, Gu Ming's land tax was ready to fight with a ping-pong racket. Opposite her, Bi Qi was throwing a ball made of slime glue high, ready to serve.
Charsi, who was wearing a maid outfit, was nervously watching the distinguished guests at the table tennis table. When the two of them were playing just now, her eyes couldn't keep up with the speed of the ball.
There is a small kitchen on this floor, and Aunt Pomegranate is preparing snacks and hot drinks for everyone.
Outside, the jiling girls are having a snowball fight on the south lawn. They are divided into two parties, one is Skadi, the "Ice Spear", and the other is Freya, Frika, Ada, Sybil, Donna, and Logue.
Skadi, who is playing at home, is not afraid of their large numbers, and can easily 1v6.
As for Charles...
Charles didn't get up today, and after breakfast, he arrived at the Oval Office.
The office floor was covered with a huge woolen rug, with a silhouette of the continent woven into the center of the golden rug.
On the south side of the office is a beautiful wooden desk, which was used by Ivan the Terrible, the first emperor of the demon race, but this desk and other furniture were put into the storage ring after Freya's master broke the Demon Palace. It was packed and taken away, and was later bought by the elf king, the old king, Charles, and finally Charles bought it back when he was in Durian City.
The furniture in the Oval Office now was moved out of the Demon Palace back then. The elves collected a lot, and he bought them all back.
At this time, the Demon Emperor's table was full of documents, and Charles had to personally process these documents before noon.
The most important thing in today's work is the handling of cases in the territorial villages. These cases must be signed by him before the final judgment is completed.
Although the folk customs in the village are simple, there are still various civil disputes and criminal cases.
The first file that Charles picked up was a civil case. He had met the plaintiff and the defendant when he was a child, but a couple who were originally loving are now going to divorce.
As for the reason, Justice Yi has a black line, and the man "can't"...
According to the tradition on the mainland, if one of the husband and wife cannot live a normal married life for various reasons, the other can file for divorce on this ground.
Charles sighed. The man was a member of the family caravan, and the woman used to be his mother's maid. When they got married, their mother took him and his sister to celebrate. I didn't expect it...
He took out a piece of paper and wrote something on it, and then said to Ah Fu, who was arrested by him to help: "You bring this to that bastard, maybe this marriage doesn't need to be divorced."
The expression on Ah Fu's face was a little weird, and he said, "Master, he hasn't taken less medicine in recent years, but it's not getting better."
Charles still gave Ah Fu the recipe for stewed venison, and said, "This recipe is very useful, let's try it out for him, if it doesn't work, let's talk about it."
Then he moved on to the case, and some estate disputes, petty theft and the like were settled quickly. But the last case was a death sentence, and he read the file three times carefully.
The case is very simple. A person in the village came home drunk and beat his wife, and then beat her to death.
The prisoner insisted that he and the deceased were very affectionate in the past, and that day he just used an axe to frighten the deceased, and the deceased hit the axe himself.
The autopsy showed that there were three fatal wounds on the deceased's body. If he could hit an axe with such a serious injury, his strength would be enough to beat the prisoner into patties.
At the same time, several neighbor witnesses said that they heard the screams of the deceased, and when they rushed over, they found the prisoner with a blood-stained axe in his hand, and the prisoner wanted to attack them after finding them.
However, there are some testimonies in the prisoner's favor, that is, the tavern owner and a few guests proved that the prisoner only drank one glass of wine that day, and it is impossible for him to get drunk according to his previous alcohol consumption.
Although these testimonies were authenticated by divine oath, the jury agreed that they could not be used as evidence of innocence.
Charles finally signed on it, agreeing with the judgment of the jury, and sentenced the prisoner to hang.
According to the tradition here, such murderers are usually beheaded, and the most wicked ones will be hanged upside down and sawed in half, but those who are the New Year's Eve should not be so bloody.
The verdict file was quickly delivered to the village by Ah Fu himself, and the gallows had already been erected when Charles began to process the territorial tax documents.
It wasn't long before Rigoletto was called.
Charles took the tax form of Bosnia and Herzegovina and asked him with a sullen face: "What is the situation of this first night right?"
This first-night right is theoretically the same as the situation in Charles's hometown in the previous life. The lord can take the bride to the castle for a round the night before the wedding. However, the vast majority of lords exchanged taxes for sex, in fact, they collected "marriage tax".
The right to the first night was abolished long ago in the territory of the Yi family. After all, the Earls of McGarden in all dynasties are quite good-looking and have a good character. There are many girls who would rather not pay this money...
The tax project in Bosnia and Herzegovina has long been synchronized with Fenglin's side~www.wuxiaspot.com~ There is no reason for this problem.
Rigoletto understood the problem and breathed a sigh of relief. He said: "Master knows, I bought a manor next to the territory this summer. There is still the first night right in that manor, and it will not be abolished until tomorrow, so I just With this income."
Charles nodded. The purchase of the manor was within Rigoletto's scope of work. He also mentioned it in the work report yesterday, but he didn't expect such an event.
Generally speaking, the tax of the territory will not be adjusted until the second year, and the original tax will be used for the newly purchased land in the first year, since it will be fine next year.
I heard that some lords now use the official marriage tax to completely replace the first night right, and use the tax payment certificate as the legal basis for the status of husband and wife. Charles thought about whether to implement it in his own territory, which is convenient when dealing with many disputes. some.
Busy until noon, Charles finally finished processing all the documents.
It's just that he was only lazy and could stretch, and Reimu came in with a bottle of wine.
