"I understand, I understand, I understand what evidence is."
The secretary hurriedly nodded. Li Ke's change in attitude was so fast that he could still see the ferocious face of his family head and the struggle that was constantly weakening. He swallowed his saliva and saw his master hanging on a lamppost like a dead rat. He immediately answered Li Ke's question and gave Li Ke a satisfactory answer.
"Very well, since you understand, I don't need to tell you what to do, right?"
Li Ke smiled. The kind expression on his face was so amiable.
"Of course, of course, I understand."
The secretary couldn't care less. According to the current situation, if he didn't listen to Li Ke, he would die immediately. If he listened to Li Ke, he would be killed by others. Who knew if those gentlemen who could discipline him and maintain order would still be alive by then. Even if they could survive until then, he had to use the information he had obtained to solve his own problems.
After all, criminals had no human rights.
He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and decided to reveal the most serious piece of evidence that he had.
"That, Master Stephen, ah, I mean the criminal Stephen, while he was leading the Phiroth Family as the master, he used Qing Gang Ying Camille to murder the Scala Family's master, the Modell Family …"
His words caused a huge uproar. These people were all proven to have died in accidents and they were all people who had offended Stephen. In other words, Stephen didn't follow the rules and directly ordered Camille to kill the rulers like them. This was unacceptable to these people. Therefore, when the butler said these two names, they began to angrily criticize Stephen. Some even glared at the butler with angry eyes.
"Stop, I'm not interested in dog biting dog, so don't say such evidence."
Li Ke was a little impatient. He didn't want to leave any of these vermin in Skin City alive. Therefore, this kind of love and hatred between nobles was useless to him. His impatience made the butler shudder. Then, he carefully probed with his question.
"Then, what … what kind of crime do you want to hear?"
Li Ke looked around and realized that it was a little spacious with only the rulers of this city. He snapped his fingers and controlled the plants to send some civilians over while answering the secretary.
"Of course it's about bullying civilians. How did your factory treat the workers? Did you give them enough rest time and benefits? Have you put in place the subsidies for injuries and injuries? And what about the bullying? Tell me all about it. I love to hear about it. "
However, his words once again confused the secretary.
"I don't quite understand what you mean, sir … In fact, the Phiroth Family did very well. The workers started working at 6 am and rested at 9 pm. Although they had to work overtime from time to time, it was all within the regulations … As for the compensation for injuries … Sir, you might not know this, but those workers are lazy. They aren't hardworking and don't have enough knowledge. Once they were given these things, they would slack off and even hurt themselves on purpose. Therefore, in order to protect the interests of us merchants, this … Hmm, this kind of thing doesn't exist in Skin City. As for the rest time … "
Speaking until here, the secretary's face revealed a trace of pride.
"Every three months, our workers have half a day of rest!"
Li Ke was stunned for a moment before clapping his hands.
"Very good, I like to hear this. But it's a little too lonely for me to hear this alone … What about other evidence? The other members of the Phiroth Family killed people or stole other people's belongings. For example, the house was seen by the Phiroth Family, but the compensation wasn't arranged properly, and so on and so forth. "
He had tried his best to enlighten this smart secretary, but he still misjudged the bottom line of the merchants in this city. Because in this city, many things that even the politicians of the United States were ashamed to say were a matter of fact here, and it was a matter of course. It was the right thing to do here. He also decided to let the commoners listen to the stories of these merchants in batches, so that they could experience the knowledge and knowledge of the upper class.
But at this moment, an old woman beside him opened her mouth. This old woman was a respectable old woman. Until Li Ke opened his mouth, she was still gently comforting the children beside her. Moreover, her face was very kind, filled with wisdom and knowledge. Even if she was tied up in the branches, she still maintained her poise and maintained her proper bearing. It was as if she wasn't tied up by the branches, but rather sat on an exquisite rattan chair.
"Sir, may I know what you want to do? Do you want to expose these things to those who don't have knowledge? They will panic because of this, and this isn't something a gentleman should do. "
She paused, and when she saw Li Ke and the secretary looking at her, she nodded slightly to Li Ke and continued.
"Mr. Stephen is a very kind person. We have set up many orphanages and donated money to the hospital to support the children who didn't have the money to go to school. Although he has indeed committed some crimes that cannot be ignored, please let his body down for the sake of his good deeds in the past. "
After that, she pursed her lips again. She wanted to say something else, but Li Ke snapped his fingers and looked at the secretary beside him.
"Does she have any evidence of her crimes?"
"My apologies, sir. Miss Phelps was a well-known kind person. She ran a textile factory and didn't offend anyone. She also devoted her life to protecting the orphans of Pi City, so I can't think of any evidence of her crimes … Sir, Miss Phelps was a very respectable lady!"
The secretary was visibly agitated. It was obvious that no one wanted to see such a gentle and kind lady meet with misfortune, but it was a pity.
"Then how many female workers did she have in her textile factory? Did these female workers receive generous remuneration from her factory? And if they fell sick, would they be able to get money from her to treat their illnesses and not die in their own homes?"
The secretary was silent because what Li Ke said was impossible. At that time, the textile factories were all under the contract system and were managed by the foreman. Therefore, what Li Ke said did not exist. But if this kind of thing could be counted as a crime, then he really couldn't say anything else, because he would also die. Thus, he could only bite the bullet and say his righteous words.
"How can the injuries of the workers be blamed on the employer?! This is extortion! Sir! Phase II, this is something that the foremen should consider, not … "
Li Ke nodded and interrupted him.
"That's right, I understand."
He snapped his fingers and this kind old lady was hung by Li Ke on another lamppost amidst the screams and curses of the crowd.
