Terra Martial God and Merit System

"Ding——" During the conversation, the phone next to Luo Chen rang.

"Hey?"

"City Lord, there are two people here who are looking for you with two letters with your signature on them."

"Let them in!"

Luo Chen hung up the phone and looked at Tallulah with a smile, "Are you worried about the charges? Now the professionals are here!"

Chapter 68: Justice

Lavinia walked into the city lord's mansion.

Her first impression of this place was 'efficiency'.

The corridor was filled with clerks hurrying by, without stopping for a moment or slacking off.

There was no noise or conversation in the air, it was very quiet.

"The mayor's office is over here." The receptionist took her and Desiree to a room.

"Knock on the door and go in. I have already informed the city lord."

The receptionist left quickly, she seemed to have other things to do.

Lavinia hesitated for a moment, then raised her hand to knock on the door.

Unexpectedly, the door was suddenly opened the next second, and a smiling face appeared in front of me.

"Lavinia?" Luo Chen looked her up and down, "You're finally here!"

He took the other person's suitcase enthusiastically, "Come in and sit down."

"And Desiree. I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

Lavinia walked in dazed, and when she woke up again, she was sitting on the sofa with a cup of hot tea in her hand.

To be honest, Lavinia had imagined meeting the earl many times, but she never expected it to be like this.

According to her guess about Count Ursus...

She would go through a rigorous examination, then walk down a gloomy corridor and into a dimly lit room.

The earl would look at him with a serious gaze and a pretentious expression.

Maybe you will hold something in your hands that looks very strange and mysterious...

All right. Lavinia puts the family patriarchs in there. But it doesn't make any difference, does it?

Anyway, in her imagination, there was no difference between the Ursus nobles and the upper echelons of the family.

But she never expected that she would receive such a warm reception.

as well as.....

How come this earl is so young?

Lavinia looked at Luo Chen, who was probably about the same age as her.

To be honest, just by looking at the letter, Lavinia thought the other party was an old earl in his fifties.

After all, there are some things in it that cannot be written without a lot of experience.

Compared to Lavinia, Desiree was relatively calm.

Perhaps because she had witnessed many different kinds of people under the neon lights of Casimir, Desiree just calmly took the tea and said thank you.

"Regarding the promise in the letter...what does the Earl want to do with it?" asked Desiree.

"Huh?" Lavinia asked in confusion.

Because the letter that Luo Chen wrote to himself did not involve any promises.

It is just a simple narrative. It simply describes what a righteous city is like.

Now it seems....her letters and Desiree's letters are probably very different.

"Of course." Luo Chen snapped his fingers, "I have already prepared your positions."

"Both insurance and pension?" Desiree asked.

"Both are available, and food and accommodation are provided. Overtime pay is adequate. The future is bright."

"?" Lavinia sounded a little confused.

How should I put it... She thought Luo Chen would start talking about some grand narrative. For example, how they were going to change... how to promote... how to make the people awaken and so on.

how.....

Lavinia just felt a little strange.

Luo Chen noticed her strangeness and smiled, "Before we talk about the future of the world, we must first determine our own situation."

"Everyone has selfish desires. I never deny human nature."

"The Earl is right." Desiree took a sip of tea. "You can't pursue the truth on an empty stomach."

"So....what is my position? What is my job description?"

"Let me make it clear first, I'm just a student..."

"Lavinia is the president of the court and you are the Minister of Justice. How about it? Are you satisfied?" Luo Chen said casually.

"Ah?" Lavinia was stunned. Her wrist shook and the teacup slipped down.

Luo Chen was quick to catch it and put it on the table.

"That...I...I...uh...*unintelligible Syracuse*..." Lavinia said vaguely, "The president of the court...is that the one I think he is?"

"If you're thinking of the head of the judges, then it's pretty much like this." Luo Chen replied, "This position is about the same level as the Minister of Justice, so I'm not biased towards you."

"You..." Desiree took a deep breath, "Do you know what the Ministry of Justice does?"

"Do you know how old I am?"

"The Ministry of Justice is in charge of the law, right?" Luo Chen scratched his head. "That's about right."

"Drafting laws, interpretations of administrative regulations..." Desiree muttered, knowing that it was from a textbook. "Oh my god - too much power!"

"I never dreamed that I would become this.... Casimir's Minister of Justice has never even been seen by my teacher."

"The most powerful law firm is nothing more than an entity that can be banned at any time in the eyes of the Minister of Justice..."

"I, I, I... I just became one? Are you kidding me?"

Desiree's words were incomprehensible.

"That's right." Luo Chen affirmed, "You already are, because I ordered you to do so. So you are."

"Your current job is to work with Lin Yuxia to draft relevant laws... I believe you should be able to do it."

"Oh, by the way, Lin Yuxia is the Minister of Commerce."

Luo Chen was talking to himself, but Lavinia couldn't help but stood up.

"I...I feel like I can't handle it..."

"My experience and education are not enough to support me getting this position... Is there really no one who would object?"

“Can I really do this?”

"My Lord, I understand your good intentions towards me, but..."

"Wait a minute..." Luo Chen raised his hand and interrupted her.

"First of all, no one will oppose you." Luo Chen stretched out a finger.

"Why?" Lavinia asked. "I have no qualifications, not even from Ursus. It's impossible..."

She couldn't help but ask this question.

Because in Syracuse, it is impossible to become a judge without the protection of the family.

"Because they are all dead." Luo Chen said lightly.

"Dead?" Lavinia didn't react. "What dead?"

"Opposition." Luo Chen said calmly, "I have only been the city lord for a month. Do you know how many people will oppose such an appointment?"

"But they are all silent. Why do you think that is?"

"Of course they are all dead!"

"......" Lavinia was stunned.

She suddenly realized that the person in front of her might be quite different from what she had imagined based on the letter.

"They were killed just because they opposed you?" Desiree asked in surprise.

"Those who oppose me will inevitably become my enemies, so I think they must be eliminated!"

Lavinia looked at Luo Chen. She had never thought that a person could be so righteous when talking about killing people. Luo Chen's tone, demeanor, and the occasional waving of his arms when he spoke, combined with his steady and clear voice, all seemed to reinforce his correctness invisibly.

It seemed as if what he was doing was not massacre, but something extremely just.

"But....."

"No buts!" Luo Chen said seriously, "I believe you, Lavinia. You can be fair. Sitting here now will not bring you justice."

"Now, accept the appointment quickly. Then prepare for the trial in three days."

"I look forward to your appearance."

"Who shall be judged?" whispered Lavinia.

"The biggest capitalist before Kamsko, the brother of an earl, and a nobleman without a title."

Lavinia was obviously stunned for a moment, but it was Desire who spoke up -

“Why is he being tried?”

Chapter 69 I Am Justice

Ohm's razor principle explains a very simple truth: simple is best. Do not add entities unless necessary.

For Luo Chen, this incident pointed out the most efficient order for gaining merits.

Kill, arrest, judge, kill.

As long as you follow this order, you will definitely be able to obtain the greatest merit.

As for what those bad guys think...Luo Chen would not be indifferent to what the dead think.

There is a saying that "one is all, and all is one." Luo Chen is quite familiar with this because he has repeatedly adopted exactly the same tactics.

Even Tallulah began to become familiar with this order.

She soon discovered that this was the most convenient way to control Kamsike under the current circumstances.

Although the kernel is very violent, the process is extremely smooth.

Therefore, when Desiree expressed her doubts, Tallulah pursed her lips and looked at her silently with her eyes. A barely perceptible smile appeared on that special mixed-race face.

Luo Chen looked at Desiree with calm eyes, and then said lightly - "Because he deserves to die."

"Why?" Dester asked.

"This is your job. Convict him." Luo Chen took out his crumpled paper, "This can be used as a reference."

Lavinia took the bloodstained paper and looked at the exaggerated charges on it.

"I see." Lavinia nodded stiffly.

She didn't know why she agreed.

Was it the other party's coercion? Or did you actually want to try to uphold justice?

Do you want to be a real judge?
