Terra Martial God and Merit System

"Based on my experience in my previous life, I should find a psychopathic gunman to shoot him a few times..."

"Suicide. Yes, if he commits suicide!"

------------------

Lin Yuxia found it difficult to understand Luo Chen's order, but she still found Gilberto and explained the situation to him.

"Use art collection to offset taxes? Of course!" Gilberto nodded happily.

Although he had just experienced a very strange thing, it now seemed that Count Luo Chen was quite smart.

Using art collections to replace taxes is very useful for the emperor.

Moreover, at a time when no tax is paid in various mobile cities, Luo Chen actually took the initiative to pay taxes, which is really touching.

"I will take over the artworks. Where are they?" Gilberto asked.

"You choose it yourself. I'll set the quota for you." Lin Yuxia said.

This was another little surprise for Gilberto.

Because it was chosen by myself, not given by others.

As a court secretary, Gilberto had an extraordinary vision and was able to select things of greater value.

"Okay, okay!" Gilberto said yes three times in a row, "Then take me to see it."

Lin Yuxia brought the other party to Kamsco's warehouse. After pushing open the door, Gilberto was almost stunned instantly.

"This, this, this..." Gilberto stared at the work of art in front of him in amazement.

"This is not a traditional painting that was lost after the Victorian War..."

"Oh my god! This is the signature of the Gaul emperor... right? Hiss - it's right!"

Gilberto looked left and right among the artworks, breathing in the cold air. Lin Yuxia felt that the temperature around her had risen a little.

"Is it expensive?" she asked.

"Too valuable! Too valuable!" Gilberto kept saying, "This statue of a golden rooster is a unique piece. It seems to be a gift from the Yan Kingdom when Gaul was founded. How did it get here?"

"Incredible! This is really incredible!"

"Oh..." Lin Yuxia was not really happy about this.

She had some understanding of art appreciation, but it was only better than that of ordinary people. Moreover, the aesthetics of Yan Country and Ursus were different.

She found it difficult to understand Gilberto's exclamation.

"Minister Lin." Gilberto asked cautiously, "I want this one... and this one."

"Just these two?" Lin Yuxia frowned. "This is less than one-third. You can pick some more."

"Wait, how much tax do you have to pay?" Gilberto asked hurriedly.

"....." Lin Yuxia reported a string of numbers.

She felt a little uneasy because according to Luo Chen, this number was only half of the original.

"Hiss—" Gilberto gasped again.

This number... Even some mobile cities with developed industries and commerce may not be able to pay so much money. Is this city lord crazy?

Isn't Kamsk an ordinary mobile city in Ursus?

Are the whole city now saving money to subsidize the emperor?

As expected of the emperor's minister, it seems that Luo Chen is well aware of His Majesty's difficulties!

"Mr. Gilberto, you and I are both busy. Hurry up." Lin Yuxia urged.

She also had to prepare for tomorrow's trial. For example, the disappearance of those businessmen required her, the Minister of Commerce, to come forward and explain.

Gilberto calmed down and quickly selected a few collectibles. Then he held them carefully to his chest, fearing that they would be damaged.

"These may not be very valuable, but I feel I should still ask the Count if he likes them..." Gilberto asked in a low voice.

He knew that some nobles had an almost obsessive love for collectibles, and it would be terrible if he accidentally took away something that Count Luochen liked.

"He's not interested in this." Lin Yuxia said. "He only cares about something more important..."

"Anyway, once you've picked your favorite, let's go."

Lin Yuxia said and left in a hurry.

Gilberto stood there for a long time before taking another step.

He called his men together, packed up the collections, and then sat down to write a letter.

This letter to the Emperor reads:

[Although I have never spoken to Count Luo Chen, I have clearly felt his sincerity...]

[So selfless, so tolerant, so loyal! ]

........

[Ursus becomes strong precisely because of people like this! ]

[Your Majesty, as long as Count Luochen is here, Ursus will be passed down forever! ]

.........

Gilberto was so moved as he wrote that he lay on the table and cried bitterly. Finally, he sealed the letter and asked someone to take the letter and the collection he had just packed to the emperor.

"Don't worry, Count Luochen!" Gilberto gritted his teeth and said, "No matter what happens in tomorrow's trial, I will support you unconditionally!"

"I will do my best to help you clear your name."

Chapter 102 Ursus Has No Right to Judge Me

Gilberto stayed up all night preparing, devoting himself to the trial tomorrow.

The next morning, the trial came as scheduled.

Luo Chen had already planned a way to kill the presiding judge without arousing suspicion, so he now participated in the trial with full confidence.

It was the first time that so many people gathered in the court in Kamsco.

The members of the investigation team took their seats.

The old nobles did not completely control the Imperial Parliament. The investigation team that came this time included not only the old nobles, but also some new nobles, and the smallest number was the royalists led by Gilberto.

In fact, not all of these old nobles were from the Fritz family. The old nobles were a large category that included too many people. Although they were all nobles who were awarded titles based on their previous military merits, there were still conflicts between them.

In Gilberto's plan, winning over these people is the key to the key.

On Kamsike's side, all the core officials were present. They gathered around Luo Chen, each with a serious look on their face.

Only Luo Chen looked relaxed and his movements were leisurely.

Seeing his confident look, everyone else felt a little relaxed.

Rajko snorted coldly.

He had already prepared to crush Luo Chen to death, and now he didn't believe at all that Luo Chen could turn the tables this time.

After all....he has too many cards in his hand.

"The trial begins!" Lajikomans straightened his collar in an orderly manner. "I have a special document granted by the Imperial Parliament. This trial is equivalent to an on-site trial by the Imperial Parliament. I have all the rights and interests of the Imperial Parliament..."

He said a lot of words, and Luo Chen just felt that his last words were indeed a bit boring and long.

But after turning around and looking around, Luo Chen found that there were quite a lot of "strong people" at the scene.

There were several figures wearing heavy uniforms, holding large magic-casting units in their hands.

That's the War Warlock, Ursus's strategic force.

Luo Chen had killed someone before when he was in the Sixth Army. The opponent's magic was indeed powerful, but it was easy to kill him if he got close. However, now it was different from before. If he did it himself, I'm afraid everyone on the scene would be injured.

Luo Chen couldn't bear to see his hard-earned men get hurt, so he suppressed his urge to blow the guy's head off with a punch.

I saw Rajko selecting from the information in front of him, as if he was choosing the instrument of torture to execute Luo Chen.

With a smile on his face, he held up one of the cards and announced loudly -

"The defendant... massacred loyal officials of our Ursus Empire... I have relevant videos and complete evidence..."

Lavinia stood up immediately. "We have relevant evidence. These people are suspected of colluding with foreign forces... They are not loyal officials of the Ursus Empire at all!"

Lavinia was well prepared. She cited three relevant legal provisions to refute the other party's statement.

But Rajko's response was simple, he just released the image.

The scene of Luo Chen killing everyone appeared on the big screen in the middle of the court.

Everyone raised their heads and looked carefully.

Not only the other members of the investigation team, but even the officials of Kamsco were all staring with their mouths opened wide.

The only people who participated in this incident were Luo Chen and Surtur, and even Hellagur was just cleaning up the mess. He did not witness it with his own eyes.

Seeing such a bloody massacre, some people bowed their heads and vomited directly. The venue suddenly became very chaotic.

"These people were slaughtered by the defendant without any trial. This is naked contempt..." Rajko shouted loudly.

"Since there has been no trial...without evidence, there is no way to know their guilt..."

"I have evidence!" interrupted Lavinia. "My data shows that—"

"Stop talking." Luo Chen held her shoulders and whispered, "You are talking to a psychopath with normal thinking. You can't win the argument."

"let me."

Luo Chen stood up.

Although he simply stood up, the venue suddenly became quiet.

No one else in the investigation team dared to speak, and those who were closer to the podium took a few steps back.

The guards of the surrounding investigation team became more alert, and the weapons in their hands were vaguely pointed at Luo Chen.

Rajko felt his heart pounding and felt extremely uneasy.

Yes, it was very clear in the video just now - Luo Chen also stood up at that time, and then killed everyone in the venue.

Is it going to be reproduced now?

No, no, no! He didn't dare to kill himself, because he had such a huge family behind him...

Although he thought so, Rajko couldn't help but feel scared.

"There is no doubt that this group of people are spies from the East Country." Luo Chen said with certainty.

Rajko breathed a sigh of relief.

If the other party chooses to reason with you instead of attacking you directly, then everything will be fine.

After all, no matter what, I don't want to die.

And...this just shows that Luo Chen is scared!

Rajko looked up excitedly, "There is no evidence to prove that they are spies from the East Country!"

"I only tell the facts." Luo Chen said calmly, "When the natural disaster broke out, this group of people did not choose to report it. Instead, they concealed the facts."

"When I took over the City Lord's Mansion, I found a lot of letters of complaint. They all hoped that these officials would solve the natural disaster problem. But no one did so."

"A natural disaster broke out, affecting so many victims. This group of people turned a blind eye to it. What do they want to do?"

"My data shows that there was no natural disaster in Kamsko," said Rajko coldly, "This is all your one-sided statement."

"Your statement that these officials are loyal is one-sided."

"That's not the case. I have sufficient confessions showing...that these officials performed their duties conscientiously. They fought at their posts until the very last moment, until a madman killed them." Rajko said sadly, and even replayed the video by the way.

"Heh..." Luo Chen suddenly laughed, "What do you think a loyal Ursus official should be like?"

He raised his hand and pointed at the video being played. "Nine out of ten people I killed were fat pigs, less than 1.8 meters tall and weighing a full 150 kilograms. Do you think that the fatter the officials are, the more loyal they are to the Ursus Empire?"

"If that's the case, you're probably not as loyal as them."

"Hahahaha!" After Luo Chen finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter.
