Terra Martial God and Merit System

The reason they don't do this now is simply to give the emperor face.

But it's just face.

The Fritz family is confident that they can crush Kamsco in terms of strength.

In addition, these specially trained "judges" rely on their eloquence. I'm sure Luo Chen will be scared to death. He will immediately turn his back on them and surrender with courtesy.

The investigation convoy that Rajko Fritz was in approached Kamsk.

Looking at the city, Rajko snorted disdainfully.

Compared to other mobile cities, the one in front of him was indeed small and shabby, which gave him an extra layer of confidence.

The checkpoint made Rajko even more unhappy.

They actually asked everyone to get out of the car for inspection. What does this mean?

Although there was nothing wrong with this behavior in terms of city defense, it was an insult to Rajko.

He kept his composure and did not lose his temper. He did not scold the city defense troops. Instead, he added one more crime to Luo Chen's numerous crimes - disrespecting the Imperial Judge.

The convoy drove to the city lord's palace in Kamsco and began to announce the start of the investigation.

Or maybe it wasn't really an investigation. Because Rajko thought he had already figured out Luo Chen's crimes, he wanted to try Luo Chen directly.

.......

"Listen carefully—"

"Kill those who are rich but unkind, kill those who oppress the innocent, kill those who act recklessly, kill those who abuse their power to make money..."

Luo Chen is giving a lecture.

However, this sudden news eventually brought the class to a halt.

Kamsko's core ruling team gathered and began to discuss how to deal with the investigation team.

"This time, the other party is not well-intentioned. They actually want to skip the inspection and go straight to trial." Tallulah frowned. "Does this stand up to legal scrutiny?"

Lavinia looked through the legal text of Ursus. "It can stand, but there are limitations. For example, the other party must produce strong evidence. If the trial is wrong, then it is the fault of the presiding judge who initiated the trial."

"This is the control of words and the dialectic of rules... Desiree, can you do it?"

"I'll try...but to be honest, it's a bit difficult." Desiree said helplessly.

"I can guess what he accused me of, but they are all facts. It is difficult to ignore the facts, especially since the other party took the initiative to attack."

"My fault..." Andre sighed, "Too many articles in [Morning News] are a bit radical. These are all handles that the other party can attack..."

"No, you are right." Luo Chen, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

As soon as he spoke, everyone stopped and looked at him.

"You are right, we are all right." Luo Chen's expression was very serious, "We are all right, they are the ones who are wrong."

"If you ask me, there's no need to go through so much trouble with this matter. Just kill the judge. He deserves to die anyway."

"No!"

Everyone present expressed their opposition.

"He is the chief judge of the Imperial Parliament. He is the highest power center in Ursus. Killing him will not have any good results." Tallulah advised.

"We have made many enemies now. If we kill him, we will really be the enemy of Ursus. The emperor may not continue to protect you." Lin Yuxia judged.

"It's still about strength... Kamsko is too weak right now, and the destruction of the Sixth Army was just an accident. In fact, if the Ursus army is mobilized, our city won't be able to hold on for long." Hellagur's perspective was rather novel, but more objective.

"What's more, the security personnel who came this time are very special. They are obviously elite soldiers of the army. It can be seen that the other party pays great attention to this aspect..."

Everyone started chattering and discussing, and Luo Chen felt a little bored.

I really don't care about politics, but killing the other party directly would indeed cause many problems.

Luo Chen doesn't want the people of the city to suffer.

As I was thinking, there was a knock on the door.

The door was pushed open and a man with a stern expression walked in.

This man is Luo Chen's acquaintance, Gilberto, the internal affairs secretary of the Ursus court.

Tallulah gave a look and the door was immediately closed by the guards.

Luo Chen was a little confused. He looked at the other person and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"My Lord Count, I am here to help you at the request of His Majesty." Gilberto's movements were meticulous. He bowed seriously and said so.

"Are you part of the investigation team?" Tallulah asked.

"Exactly."

"Huh..." Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Emperor Ursus did not give up on them. This was a rare good thing.

"It is indeed unexpected that the chief judge skipped the examination and went straight to trial this time." Gilberto sat down slowly, "But I will still do my best to help the Count."

"Clear the Earl's name..."

"Regarding today's situation, I have actually made some preparations."

"First, it's about the internal situation of the investigation team. We can bribe them, and..."

Gilberto spoke eloquently, and everyone in Kamsco was amazed as they listened, feeling that a new world had opened up.

"This, that, and then this - we have a 30% chance of winning..."

"I think we can hide this key evidence first..."

Everyone was discussing it heatedly, but Tallulah just blinked and asked, "Where are the Luochen people?"

Only then did everyone realize that Luo Chen, who was lying lazily, had disappeared.

"Is he going to kill the Chief Judge?" Herag exclaimed.

"It's bad!" The meeting room was in chaos, "Hurry up and find a way to stop him!"

Gilberto looked at what was happening in front of him and blinked in confusion, "What happened to you guys?"

"What's wrong? If he was slower, the presiding judge would be dead, and his head might even be hanging on the street light!" Lin Yuxia pressed her temple. "Luo Chen could really do such a thing."

"Wait...what did you say?" Gilberto's brain didn't react, "Why did Luo Chen kill the judge?"

"Because he likes to solve problems with violence. Don't you know this?" Lin Yuxia was also a little surprised.

"I thought those were all slanders from his enemies... How could a nobleman massacre officials every day..." Gilberto stuttered, "He must have used great political skills to achieve the ultimate balance in dealing with the personnel..."

".....You really believe it?" Lin Yuxia was speechless. "What kind of powerful political skills does he have? He only likes to use fists to make things right."

"You'd better go back to the investigation team and check on the judge. Let's go find the city lord."

......

The City Lord's Mansion was in chaos for a while. Luo Chen couldn't be found and everyone was a little panicked.

Finally, it was Luo Chen who was found by Surtel, and the other party's position was also unexpected.

He is in...Kamsco's archive room.

"Why did you suddenly come here?" Tallulah asked Luo Chen fearfully.

"Check the information and confirm the next plan." Luo Chen was a little surprised. "You are all gathered together like this. Is there something big happening?"

"No big deal..."

"That's fine. Minister Lin, come here for a moment. I want to talk to you about something."

Luo Chen had just looked through various materials after he took over Kamsco. He wanted to find an absolutely reasonable way to deal with the current investigation team's problems.

After all, in the process of constantly becoming stronger, his wisdom can be called "astonishing".

After reading it, Luo Chen found some noteworthy issues.

"Is there anything wrong with the financial statements?" Luo Chen asked Lin Yuxia.

"No." Talking about this, Lin Yuxia's expression suddenly changed. The look she gave Luo Chen also became strange.

It was difficult for her to understand why Luo Chen set up all these strange rules in the factory, but she still pushed forward under Luo Chen's mandatory request.

During this period, she also persuaded Luo Chen - because Lin Yuxia found that the amount produced by the workers every day exceeded the prescribed standard, and the authorities could raise the standard.

As a result, Luo Chen rejected this idea and severely criticized Lin Yuxia.

Thinking about it now, Lin Yuxia couldn't help but marvel at Luo Chen's arrangement.

Because the data clearly showed that even without raising the standards, the factory's output was still steadily increasing. Kamsco's product sales were gratifying.

Today, Kamsco's financial statements show a very obvious difference - before Luo Chen took over, there were only bad debts and dead debts, but after he took over, the economy experienced a growth blowout.

"Use part of these profits as workers' welfare..." Luo Chen announced casually.

At this time, Lin Yuxia seemed to have thought of something and said, "After this year, we have to pay taxes... According to the laws of Ursus... we have to pay a total of..."

"No." Luo Chen frowned, "It's too much. Why should we give them the money we worked so hard to earn?"

"You can't not pay taxes, can you?" Lin Yuxia spread her hands helplessly, "You've already been charged with many crimes."

"I have an idea." Luo Chen suddenly had an idea, "We can use some things that are useless now to replace paying taxes."

"for example?"

Chapter 101 Paying Taxes

"For example, some valuable items..."

Luo Chen didn't want to give the Ursus Emperor a penny. But if he could use something else as a replacement, that would be great.

For example...certain works of art.

As soon as Luo Chen said this, Lin Yuxia understood instantly.

There are many works of art in Kamsko's warehouse.

After Luo Chen took office, the confiscation of property has never stopped - the former city lord, big capitalists, bank presidents, landlords outside the city...

These people are not only rich, but also very fond of art. It is common to see half of the warehouse filled with money and half with art.

These are not just native to Ursus, but also relics from Victoria, Columbia... and even Gaul.

Some of these artworks are just paintings, while others are various kinds of jewelry.

One of Lin Yuxia's jobs is to value these things. To be honest, these artworks are very valuable.

But Kamsiko is not easy to shoot.

In a sense, this is "stolen goods". Besides... Lin Yuxia is not a professional appraiser and it is easy for her to be cheated in other ways.

So these looted artworks were piled up in the Kamsco warehouse.

The preservation of these things is also a problem. Without professionals, they may be directly damaged after being stored for a long time, and their valuations may plummet.

Luo Chen thought of this.

To him, these things are more like a piece of paper or a piece of stone than a work of art. In short, they are completely useless.

In that case...it's better to just pay the tax instead.

"Can these artworks offset this year's taxes?" Luo Chen asked.

"If it can be offset..." Lin Yuxia calculated for a moment, "I used the highest transaction price to calculate...it can pay five years of taxes."

"Okay!" Luo Chen clapped his hands. Then he ordered, "We will only pay half of the tax this year, and we will pay it with artworks. You bring the court secretary to pick up the goods."

"Oh? You're not going to pay the full amount?"

"Why should I pay the full amount? I'm giving him half of it just to show my respect." Luo Chen shook his head. "Okay, go ahead and do your work. I still need to think about the next plan."

After Lin Yuxia left, Luo Chen began to think about how to deal with this merciless investigation team.

After thinking for a long time, he felt that his amazing wisdom was not enough.

However, after connecting with the memories of his previous life, Luo Chen discovered a plan that was very valuable for reference.

"No matter what, killing this chief judge is the best solution." Luo Chen first determined this conclusion. "The question now is how to kill him..."
