Miss Witch, it's time to clean up the entries

Chapter 57 Leniency for those who confess, severity for those who resist

Sophie liked the gift Li En gave her very much, so she changed the fish tank.

A fish tank large enough to hold 100 goldfish and 1 tadpole.

From then on, people in Green Shade Territory could see a thin and petite girl with short silver hair on the high wall, holding up a huge fish tank in one hand, diligently guarding Green Shade Territory.

But this situation is only temporary. Li En believes that with Sophie's ability, she will be able to make the fish tank smaller and smaller and eventually restore it to its original appearance.

In the evening, Li En took Sophie, who was in a good mood, to the Green Shade Prison.

This is a magnificent prison located to the west of the outer city, also known as the Western Prison.

The Great Western Prison consists of twin tower cells and a central square.

The building on the left is the men's prison, and the building on the right is the women's prison, connected by a square platform in the middle.

A maximum of 1000 people can gather in the central square at any one time.

The two buildings on the left and right have exactly the same appearance and structure. The spires are engraved with the green leaf logo symbolizing the Green Shade Territory and the iron fork logo of the prison. The whole building is black and gray, with a total of 5 floors from bottom to top, forming a pyramid structure.

There are five major categories: civilian housing for minor offenses, civilian housing for major offenses, housing for rich prisoners for minor offenses, housing for rich prisoners for major offenses, and death row housing. From low to high, the higher the level, the more serious the crime.

The Twin Towers can accommodate a total of 1600 prisoners, making it the undisputed largest prison in Green Shade Territory.

Karel Dennis has captured 980 people on the list, and there are still 20 people on the run, but they are also included in the Green Shade Territory wanted list.

These 980 people were now gathered in the prison square, surrounded by numerous guards.

The ugly warden John frowned as he looked at the huge crowd in the square. Even the largest prison would find it difficult to accommodate so many prisoners at the same time.

Moreover, many of these people were ladies dressed in gorgeous clothes.

They don't look like people who would commit crimes, unless they are political or religious prisoners.

John once thought that he was so ugly that he had nothing to lose, until his hairline began to recede and his hair became thinner and thinner.

He felt pressure that he shouldn't have to bear at his age, and now Li En's order undoubtedly increased his pressure.

"Crowley, do you know why Lord Li En wants to capture them?"

John touched his thinning hair and asked Crowley, the captain of the Western Guard, who was standing beside him.

Crowley was a two-meter-tall, muscular, dark-skinned man. He was taciturn and didn't like to talk. He just gave John an indifferent look, which made John feel very unhappy.

Just when John felt that he was about to lose his hair again, he saw the blond, blue-eyed, handsome young lord walking into the prison square with the Ice Witch.

John immediately straightened his hair and went to meet him.

Li En was accompanied by his maid Anna and Interior Minister Karel Dennis.

"Master Li En, this is the warden, John Sylvestre Henson."

Karel Dennis introduced.

"John Sylvestre Henson, warden of Greenshade Prison, greets the Lord."

"Captain Crowley of the Western Guard greets the Lord."

John and Crowley saluted simultaneously.

Li En nodded slightly and walked to the front of the crowd.

"This must be a misunderstanding, Master Li En. Do you still remember me? My daughter Lei'er is still your student."

Mrs. Vanessa looked at Li En excitedly. She wanted to use Leier to narrow the distance between herself and Li En, and hoped that Li En would show mercy for the sake of the Ada family.

"Mrs. Vanessa, Leir is not your daughter. Although you are also Romualda's mistress, you will not give birth to children for him. After all, the task of a spy is to gather intelligence." Li En raised his eyebrows slightly and said calmly.

Mrs. Vanessa was slightly stunned. She didn't know when her identity as a spy was discovered.

But she was a smart woman and quickly realized the problem.

City-wide testing, not to rule out itch, but to find spies?

Lady Vanessa frowned, she knew she couldn't escape. Spy is actually one of the most dangerous professions, because this is the entry world created by the God Tiger, everyone has his or her own entry, especially the identity entry, basically, being detected means being finished.

There is no point in making so many excuses.

But there are very few people who use the power of the church to find spies as openly as Li En.

Because the church is a neutral organization, they are only responsible to the gods and not to the lords, so the church basically does not participate in activities such as catching and detecting spies.

The church only does what is right for its believers, such as baptizing them out of kindness.

This time, Li En took advantage of the plague to let the church intervene and conduct county-wide testing.

The reason why other lords could not imitate Li En's behavior was that they would never treat patients after seeing the itchy disease. The first step was to bury them alive to eliminate the problem forever, and there would naturally be no testing step afterwards.

Vanessa suddenly regretted coming to Green Shade Territory as a spy. Wouldn't it be better to go somewhere else?

Those who stood in the square with Mrs. Vanessa also felt regretful.

"Lord Li En, I am wronged."

"Master Li En, I have committed a crime. Even if I am sent to prison, I must go through a trial court, right? You brought us here directly. This is not in accordance with the regulations."

"Yeah, if we have committed any crime, we should at least produce evidence."

The nobles' mistresses fanned themselves and said angrily that they had never been so humiliated.

Of course, they were actually very panicked inside.

Because of the spy word on their heads, they will be exposed with just a check.

Even so, they must fight for a chance of survival for themselves and try to suppress Li En with nobility and rules.

"Quiet!"

John shouted threateningly, pulled out the whip from his waist and hit the ground hard. With the sound of scratching, the crowd in the square instantly quieted down.

"Master Li En, what are you going to do with them?"

Warden John touched his hairline. The sudden influx of more than 900 prisoners made John feel extremely stressed.

How are we going to feed these people? How are we going to find accommodations? We can't just send them all to the guillotine, right?

"The guilty will be punished, the innocent will be released. We cannot wrongly accuse a good person, nor can we let a criminal go."

Li En looked at the arrested people on both sides and said passionately,

“Before I use the word checker, I want you to be honest.

"Anyone who dares to confess can be given a lighter sentence. Death row prisoners can be given life imprisonment, life imprisonment can be given a fixed-term sentence, and fixed-term prisoners can be given a shorter sentence.

"But if you don't confess and insist that I use the word detector to test you, then I'm sorry, for the sake of Green Shade Territory, I can only increase the punishment for you. The death row prisoners' immediate family members will be punished, and life imprisonment will be commuted to death penalty, and fixed-term imprisonment will be commuted to life imprisonment.

"In short, in one sentence, leniency to those who confess, severity to those who resist."
