This case involved a businessman who was selling something, but was found to be fraudulent. He used a weighing tool with a magnet attached underneath.
In this era, such economic crimes are considered serious crimes and can be punished by hanging.
"Businessman Ruthie was accused of cheating when purchasing wool. According to the law, if the amount exceeds fifty shelins (twenty-five pounds of silver coins), his fingers can be cut off.
In the past three years, he has purchased a total of seven purchases from sheep traders... The value is about two hundred serins (one hundred pounds of silver coins). "
The steward finished reading the charges in the case.
Sherling is a common name for hard goods in England.
The purchasing power of a forest is about 5,000 yuan, and the purchasing power of a pound is about 10,000 yuan.
One hundred pounds - that is to say, the businessman stole property worth approximately one million purchasing power in future generations.
Such a small territory, such an amount is already very high. When I was captured by the Vikings, the price was about this.
A wool trader named "Triangle" pointed at Lu Xi's nose and asked him to pay back the money or go to the guillotine.
Oran took a look and realized that the sheep seller probably got this name because of his weird triangular eyebrows.
"Do you want to defend yourself? Businessman?" Austrian drank a cup of hot tea with lemon and honey in it.
Businessman Ruthie shouted, "Sir, I was blinded by greed and committed a crime. But this is the first time I have done this. This time the profit is ten pounds of silver. I am willing to double it, hoping to end this matter." .”
The old businessman is here because he found the housekeeper earlier and paid a fine first.
As we all know, if a merchant commits a crime and is sentenced, he or she does not understand the rules, because most merchants will prepare the fine first and present it to the local lord or the trial judge.
Lu Xi had made up his mind. Next time, he would just let someone else pick it up, and he would continue to take advantage. These idiots who only know how to herd sheep could tell what was wrong with the sheep at a glance, so they moved their hands and feet with the measuring stick. The profit was worth their three months of hard work.
Olan gave the butler a look. When the butler approached, Olan asked, "Is this a businessman from our territory?"
"No, he is a businessman from the 'Kingdom of Wessex' in the far south of the island..."
Wessex is one of the "Seven Kingdoms of England".
To be precise, there are actually only four countries left.
The three kingdoms of Kent, Sussex, and Essex were all subject to invasion and control by the three kingdoms except Northumbria.
Currently "Wessex" is the strongest, and "Mercia" is second.
Since Northumbria and Wessex are still separated by Mercia, there isn't much at stake at the moment.
For businessmen, they have no concept of distance, only whether they can make money.
The quality of Northumbria's wool is very good, and it can even be exported to Frankia.
This is also one of the financial revenues in Oran Territory.
Therefore, wool economic crime is a very serious crime.
After drinking the tea, Olan said, "Businessman, you are greedy for money from the sheep seller, which affects his tax income, so you deserve to die!"
"grown ups?!"
The businessman Lu Xi thought he had heard wrong, but Olan continued, "Integrity is a moral character that businessmen should uphold, just like a priest must respect God. If you abandon your moral character, it will be the same evil deed no matter once or ten times, and the sin will be heinous." !
You can no longer be trusted. Now I have decided to take back all your wealth and compensate the damaged ones. This is fairness and justice as a lord, above. "
After taking away the wealth of the merchants and benefiting the sheep traders, they not only have to pay taxes to themselves, but also leave a good reputation in the hearts of the people.
Even the sheep seller did not expect that happiness would come so suddenly. The businessman still wanted to defend himself, but Olan directly asked someone to pull him out.
"Hand over five hundred pounds of silver coins. If the money is not enough, ask your family members to hand it over. Otherwise, you will be deported after serving your sentence."
The sentence announced by Olan is as high as forty years, which is equivalent to life imprisonment without paying any money.
The businessman was led out crying. With this scene, those waiting for the trial suddenly became nervous.
The next person who came up should be a knight?
From the clothes on his body, Olan could tell that he was not a civilian. He gave a "hand salute" to Olan and said, "Benai Sebastian, also from Wessex, my father is 'Baron Fletcher Sebastian'."
The "Wessex" area again?
Oran waved his hand to show his appreciation for the seat, Ben Ai. Sebastian sat down on the chair without any formality. His counterpart was a fisherman.
The case is simple and clear. Benai was on a traveling knight training trip. When he saw a fisherman who looked pretty good, he slept with her. Then she was tied up by the angry fishermen and brought to the castle.
Only nobles can judge nobles, they know that.
Once at the castle, Banai was released.
"Lord Lord..."
Ban Ai has already thought up a story, that is, the fisherman seduces him, and then...
"That's enough, do you admit it?"
"What?"
"I said, do you admit your evil deeds? Sir Knight."
"Sir, you may not know what happened. Allow me to say it again. It is like this. That day..."
"For the last time, do you admit it?"
Olan waved his hand, and the two murderous soldiers drew their weapons directly and faced Ban Ai.
"Don't do it, I admit it! Pay for it. According to the price of sleeping with the wine girl, no, I will pay three times!"
Class Ai that day. Sethdine actually saw other businessmen walking out of the fisherman's boat, so he went over to ask for a price.
It's just that the price was not negotiated and he was despised by the fisher girl. In anger, he...
"If I had known I would have paid more, it would have been troublesome..."
Ban Ai. Sethin was just thinking that the matter would end simply when he heard an unbelievable verdict.
"Take him down, put him in a small room, give him the minimum food ration, and ask your father, the Baron, to send you three hundred pounds, otherwise you will never have to go out in this life."
Oran then looked at the fisherman, "As your lord, I will ensure your interests."
This judgment stunned everyone. For a nobleman to sleep with a fisherman, it was actually an honor in a way. The fisherman and the fisherman who was watching just wanted more silver coins.
"Search the body and find out how much money there is. Give 10% to the fisherman, and then 90% will be used as trial costs and accommodation fees. Leave it."
Oran thought of something again and said to the fisherman, "Go back and tell your neighbors that I will establish a court system and circuit courts in the future."
Then he said to the housekeeper, "Go and train some people so that they are familiar with the laws and can simply write numbers. In the future, they can be allowed to try small cases. Lynchings that involve cutting off hands and feet for simple crimes will be stopped."
Butler Nanamp nodded quickly and took note.
In one morning, Oran finished all the cases. The housekeeper calculated that Oran treats the trial of those who infringe the interests of others, especially outsiders, very seriously. It is simply a money grab!
There is also the nobleman who was captured just now. That is the Kingdom of Wessex, which is countless times larger than the barony.
Butler Nan Anpu felt that as a loyal servant of the lord, he should fulfill his duties. He swallowed his saliva first and ensured that he would speak as smoothly as possible later, and then said.
"Sir, I have never heard of a noble being imprisoned for sleeping with a fisherman? Do you think so?"
