Shuitucheng is close to the city center. There are many newsboys on the street waving newspapers in their hands and shouting:
"The latest news, the latest news! The biggest drug smuggler Huo Yunyou has been arrested! The Governor will participate in this trial!"
"Breaking news, Mr. Inspector General said in an interview that he will fight all criminals to the end! The Governor is on top!"
"..."
Since Jiang Sui took over all government affairs, cities quickly began to regain their vitality.
Even though Water and Earth City was affected by the plague and all miners were suspended from work, due to the distribution of proper hygiene products and food, the order in the city was maintained very well, and there was no sign of desolation.
If there was a plague in the past, which time would it not be littered with corpses?
On the roadside, a middle-aged woman was squatting down to put a mask on her child.
"Mom, does the Governor live in that big house in the sky now?"
"Yes……"
"Does the Governor want to arrest all the bad guys? Just like that Huo Yunyou, if he is arrested, he will never be able to do bad things again from now on!"
The middle-aged woman's rough hands paused, and then she smiled bitterly: "My child, Huo Yunyou is not a bad person. Without her medicine, you would have died of illness two years ago..."
The child looked at his mother strangely: "Then, why did the Governor arrest her?"
The child's world is very simple. The Governor drove away the gerbil gang that oppressed them, provided food, and allowed the mother to work in a safer place. Therefore, the Governor is the best person in the world.
Since the Governor is the best person in the world, then of course the Huo Yunyou he wants to capture is the big bad guy.
But her mother said that Huo Yunyou is not a bad person?
Since Huo Yunyou is not a bad person, why does the Governor want to arrest her?
The woman stood up, glanced at the luxury motorcade heading towards the trial court in the distance, and then at the fortress-like frigate floating in the sky, and smiled bitterly again: "Because the Governor is repairing a broken machine... But when repairing, it’s inevitable to knock out some good parts.”
…
Shuitucheng Intermediate Tribunal.
Huo Yunyou had already changed into prison uniform and was sent to the court hearing under heavy supervision.
Along the way, there were many cameras pointed at Huo Yunyou, and all media were vying to record this scene.
Soon, Huo Yunyou was escorted to the dock, and the heavy shackles were pressed down, eliminating any possibility of her causing trouble in the trial.
"In order to maintain the sanctity of the Inquisition, the following rules are hereby read..."
"one:……"
"two:……"
"Please invite the presiding judge and judges to sit in the courtroom..."
Huo Yunyou had experienced worse environments than this countless times. At this time, she just sighed softly and subconsciously looked towards the judge's bench.
At a glance, she saw a very young man sitting in the highest position, looking at her with the same curious eyes.
This is...the Governor?
Younger than expected...
The judge sitting under Jiang Sui picked up his gavel and said: "The trial begins!"
"Now let the prosecutor state the facts and submit evidence."
The prosecutor looked at Huo Yunyou with a confident look and said, "Presiding judge, our appeal is..."
"The following is our lawsuit application..."
"..."
Huo Yunyou looked away. She didn't even listen to what the prosecutor was saying.
The evidence is conclusive, and he has lost his protective umbrella. There is no longer any suspense about the outcome of the trial.
Huo Yunyou closed her eyes and began to recall the dust-laden past events.
How did you end up on the road of smuggling?
It's nothing more than poverty, and they can only rely on smuggling, transporting some goods from other places, and making money from the price difference to support their families.
Until one day, a patient suddenly came to her and said that many bottles of medicine had been leaked from Sanhai Bank, and the effect was almost the same as that of genuine medicine. She hoped that she could bring a few bottles back.
The pharmacies sell genuine medicines for 5 silver coins, while generic medicines only cost 100 copper coins!
50 times the price difference!
Huo Yunyou, who sensed a huge business opportunity, set out immediately. After much searching, she found out that 100 copper coins was only the retail price, and the wholesale price was only 50 copper coins...
For the first time, Huo Yunyou brought back a hundred bottles of medicine, each costing 200 copper coins. They were all sold out in less than a day.
This profitable business lasted for a long time...
Huo Yunyou also agreed with the boss of the pharmaceutical factory that when she made enough money in the future, she would buy a boat ticket to the mainland of the empire and never return to Tianhaixing.
Until one time, a woman who couldn't even afford 200 copper coins knelt down in front of her without hesitation for the sake of her child.
Huo Yunyou was deeply shocked, and finally realized what these things in her hands meant to many people.
After that day, she switched to selling a bottle for 100 copper coins.
Later, Huo Yunyou saw more patients who were in pain and saw many things that she could not see before, so she persuaded the owner of the pharmaceutical factory and the price slowly became 50 copper coins, 30 copper coins...
So in the end, Huo Yunyou didn't even care about the price, as long as it was about the same.
It's a bit funny to think about it now - two people who once agreed to make a fortune together, now one is arrested and the other is producing at a loss.
Not to mention buying a boat ticket to the mainland of the empire, now I have to rely on the governor's relief even for food.
This kind of life is indeed too tiring, and it’s time to rest...
Anyway, the Governor is here. From now on, let’s leave such thankless and troublesome matters to the Governor.
"..."
"We accuse the defendant of smuggling, production, production and sale of counterfeit medicines, tax evasion, fraud..."
"Defendant, do you have any objection to the above charges?"
Huo Yunyou, who was brought back to reality from her memories, glanced at the Governor again and smiled calmly: "Yes, I plead guilty."
After hearing Huo Yunyou's answer, both the judge on the bench and the inspector general in the gallery showed relaxed smiles.
Very good, no accident happened...
What they were most worried about before was whether Huo Yunyou, a cunning smuggler, would cause trouble in front of the governor at the trial?
How to deal with it perfectly if she makes a fuss, makes excuses or does anything else.
For this reason, they specially prepared many plans in order to present a perfect court hearing in front of the Governor.
The smugglers who were arrogant and domineering during the rule of the Gerbil Gang and had no one to control them had nowhere to escape under the Governor's rule!
Now, the biggest surprise is also a clean confession.
The next step is to follow the same sentencing process, and there can be no extraneous things...
At this moment, Jiang Sui, who had been listening at the highest table, suddenly spoke, interrupting what the judge was going to do next: "Wait a moment."
"I have objections."
