The scene in front of him made Xie Lin unbelievable.
There are at least a dozen iron cages in the storage warehouse, and in each iron cage there is a naked woman - there is obvious yellow mucus on the joints of their eyelids, which is a sign that the eye disease spell has been released, and their lips It was closed tightly and unnaturally, obviously due to the effect of some kind of lock tongue and throat sealing spell. Their hands were tied behind their backs, and their feet were tied together with another rope. They were lying on the ground like a worm.
Even Xie Lin, a man of two generations, was stunned by this scene.
With his magic eyes, he could tell that most of these women were Muggles or squibs, with almost zero magic fluctuations in their bodies, but one of them was a real witch, and he was sure that she was abducted. Go Griffith.
Scrimgeour and Robards also came in, their faces equally ugly.
Of course, they all knew what was going on in the Black Crime Square and were mentally prepared for the scene inside. However, when they saw it with their own eyes, they could not calm down for a long time.
"These bastards..." Robards couldn't help but curse, "Do they even have the most basic moral integrity to do such a thing?"
"Uncle Scrimgeour..." Schelling said slowly, his tone terrifyingly cold, "Are these the crimes that the Ministry of Magic has condoned over the years?"
Scrimgeour had already been holding back a hot anger in his chest. When Schelling said this, his eyes widened like bells, "I must admit that the Ministry of Magic may have been too indulgent in the past, Schelling." He said decisively: "Now, uncle, I promise you that I will definitely correct this mistake, even if it means losing all my wealth and life!"
This time, even Robards didn't dare to say anything to dissuade him.
After all, the cruelty and evil of Black Crime Square shocked him greatly.
Schelling was indeed right about Scrimgeour.
He is a deep man, he is an ambitious man, he is also a Slytherin, and he understands the essence of protecting oneself wisely and doing whatever it takes, but he does not lack the sense of justice and character that an Auror should have. In the original book, although he did many wrong things, such as arresting a conductor as a Death Eater, and doing whatever it took to maintain the prestige of the Ministry of Magic, in the end he was willing to sacrifice his life for Harry's safety.
There is still a bottom line in his heart, and the tragic scene before him undoubtedly crosses his bottom line!
The two guards were arrested on the spot.
Scrimgeour used a special communicator to call other Aurors to rescue these women one by one. Their memories will be rewritten and then handed over to the Muggle government.
Schelling was not involved in what happened next. He refused Robards' escort and returned to Diagon Alley, then Flooed back to the school.
He believed that in this case, Scringeour would definitely give the mastermind behind the scenes a severe punishment. What's more, after all his Auror subordinates saw this scene, it would not be so easy to completely suppress the matter - don't forget, one of his Auror subordinates also had a sacred background. Kingsley Shacklebolt of 28 pureblood family.
Two days later, on Tuesday morning, Schelling received two owls.
The first was from Philbert Devrill, his partner at Puddlemere United. Devrill had already panicked and ran out of ideas after Griffith disappeared, so he could only cling to Gwenog Jones. Even though he knew it was probably useless, he could at least maintain a glimmer of hope. See if you can get even a little compensation back to reduce your losses.
What he lost was not just the transfer fee of 1,000 Galleons.
His poaching operation this season has begun to bear fruit. Puddlemere United finally bid farewell to the decline of the past few years and showed a very eye-catching performance this season, rising to the second place in the league. Nipping at the back of the Balikas bats.
This is still the performance of the team in the running-in period. He is confident that the team will definitely have a chance to challenge for the championship next season.
What followed was a rapid increase in the number of fans of the team, hot sales of tickets and peripheral products, and a skyrocketing market value of the team (and the net worth of shareholders)...
Unfortunately, after Griffith disappeared, all this may have come to nothing...
And his troubles are coming one after another, with the rapid loss of fans and followers, the sudden drop in demand and prices for tickets, the shrinking of the team's market value, and the dissatisfaction of investors with strong backings against him...
When he received Schelling's letter and saw Schelling asking him to postpone his attack on Gwenog, he was still unwilling to do so! In his opinion, Schelling did not suffer any personal pain (the transfer of such risks was specified in Schelling's contract), so it gave him the feeling of standing and talking without pain in his back.
Unexpectedly, less than three days had passed before Schelling rescued Griffith. His surprise was far beyond the financial gains. This was because, with his shrewd businessman's thinking, he had already keenly grasped the situation. Aware of the power Xie Lin held. To be able to contact the director of the Auror Office in such a short period of time and borrow the power of the Auror to rescue people, how much energy is needed behind it!
As smart as he is, he understands the value that Schelling represents - his huge network of contacts, and his hidden intelligence capabilities. Such a person is definitely worth his efforts to make friends with.
Therefore, in this letter, in addition to the normal letter of thanks, Schelling also received a big gift - a share transfer agreement for Puddlemere United.
Yes, Devrill clearly understood the importance of tying Schelling tightly to his chariot. He decided to make Schelling and his own interests more closely related, so he transferred some shares in his name to Transferred to Schelling free of charge. Now, Schelling's stake in Puddlemere United has reached as high as one-third!
[Pudmere United shares acquired! 】
The second letter was sent to him by Scrimgeour. Under the effect of Veritaserum, the two guards revealed that the mastermind behind it was Dolphin Roll of the Roll family!
The rumor of Dolphin Rolle's lecherous nature was actually not a secret among the upper echelons of the pureblood family. It is said that in addition to the wife he is marrying, he also has seven or eight lovers outside.
He has been collecting Muggle beauties outside and training them into slaves through magic. In addition to selling them for money, he himself also tries them in advance to satisfy his evil desires.
With the witness's confession, Scringgeer knew the importance of speed and speed, so he summoned all the Aurors, strikers, and reconnaissance teams at once, divided them into dozens of teams, and at the same time raided the Rolle family's properties across Great Britain. and secret bases (secured from two guards), and sure enough, Dolphin's private concubines were found in many places. They were all fed the "Love God's Heart Lock Potion", which is the most effective love potion. One that is enough to make them extremely dependent and obsessed with Dolphin.
With all the witnesses and evidence available, Dolphin will never be able to clear his name this time. The result of him being sent to Azkaban is already certain.
On the same day, Dolphin knew that his deeds had been exposed, and he knew the consequences of entering Azkaban, so his first thought was to escape!
However, he was neither an Animagus nor did he know how to transform the human body. After escaping several times by using short-distance apparation, he was finally caught under the heavy pursuit of the Aurors. Only two days had passed from the time Schelling broke into the Black Crime Square to the time Dolphin was arrested. It can be seen that in the absence of internal constraints, the Aurors really took things seriously and were very efficient.
Since Dolphin's behavior had caused public outrage, the Ministry of Magic operated with maximum efficiency to handle the matter. On the same day that Dolphin was captured, the Wizengamot unanimously passed a trial and sent him to Azka. class, executed immediately!
The case of Dolphin Roll attracted great attention from society. The common people could not believe that such evil existed in the wizarding world. Public opinion suddenly demanded that the Ministry of Magic vigorously rectify Knockturn Alley. New mainstream.
The public was so angry that officials closely related to Knockturn Alley all chose to shut up at the right time and did not dare to say a word about Knockturn Alley.
Also on the same day, the ancestral home of the Rolle family was attacked.
All the direct descendants of the Rolle family in the ancestral home disappeared mysteriously, and the collection of books, antiques, and valuable furnishings in the ancestral home were all cleared out one by one. The Rolle family's property in Great Britain also unknowingly changed hands.
Miraculously, this incident didn't attract much attention. The Ministry of Magic seemed to turn a blind eye to this, and the major media did not even report a word about it.
The Rolle family's property was divided and eaten by the pure-blood families who came after hearing the news. However, for some strange reason, the news of the Rolle family's loss of power did not spread quickly. When most of the pure-blood families heard the news and rushed there, there were only scraps left.
Although they didn't know the reason, they were also wary of the families who had taken the bulk first.
Especially when the family that eats the biggest portion is not the Malfoy family, but the always low-key Greengrass family. Of course, the Malfoy family also performed well, ranking second.
It was enough that these two had this energy. The family that took the third largest share was actually not Malfoy's old allies Parkinson and the Burke family, but the Nott family.
In the eyes of pure-blood families, Greengrass, Malfoy and Nott belong to three interest factions, so this means that there are at least three sources of intelligence at the source - the intelligence capabilities of these three families exceed other people.
Of course, this was all Schelling's work.
Since noticing Draco's strange behavior, Sherrin has also developed some complicated emotions towards his family. Having lived in two generations, he also knows that power corrodes people's hearts. At least he cannot be so foolish as to be unwary of his family. of.
Strictly speaking, the alliance between the Greengrass family and the Nott family is with Schelling himself, not the Malfoy family. In the current situation where the family's attitude is unclear, it is especially important to distinguish oneself from the family's resources.
Giving up the benefits to Greengrass and Nott can make their alliances closer. At the same time, according to the agreement made with them in advance, part of the industry they took will also be returned to Schelling. Of course, it is a secret deal in the dark. in the case of. In this way, no one knew that Schelling was the biggest beneficiary of this incident.
Schelling received the property ownership of the three shops in the south area of Diagon Alley from Gareth. These three stores have been rented out, and they have signed leases for centuries, so Schelling can also be the owner of the business with peace of mind. Landlord, live a life of collecting rent.
Old Nott was also very generous, after all, things came easily. Schelling gained from him an underground gambling house in Knockturn Alley, which specialized in accepting various bets on the Anglo-Irish League, Pegasus racing, broom racing (that is, football games, horse racing, and racing), and there was also an underground gambling house on Knockturn Alley. The property rights of the shops in Corner Alley.
The shop was vacant. When Xie Lin saw the house number, his brows jumped involuntarily. The house number is No. 93 Diagon Alley. Isn't this exactly where the Weasley twins planned to open a store in the original book?
At this moment, four words popped into Xie Lin's mind - "This store is bound to be popular."
[The property rights of four stores in the South District of Diagon Alley were obtained! 】

(Note: Pegasus Race comes from jkr.'s Wizard of the Month, the only known Pegasus Racer is Laurentia Flatwalker)
(Note: There are two broom racing races. One is between Britain and Italy. It comes from the "Book of Curses" and flies from Aberdeen to Rome. The second one is the "flying race" that has been around since the tenth century. The "Annual Broom Race" is a grand event attended by countries all over the world, flying from Kopalberg to Arye Plug, three hundred miles away)
