Chapter 527 They can sue the nobles

This year’s spring came a little earlier than usual, and the shipping on the river in the Principality of Wesson suddenly became busy. The export goods accumulated over the winter were shipped as quickly as possible. everywhere.

Baron Turgot is going back to China, and many fellow villagers in the Iris community asked him to bring letters and gifts back.

Among them, Da Franche had the most things. He bought a white lace blouse for each of his two nieces, a bicycle for his nephew, a pocket watch for his eldest brother, and a pocket watch for his sister-in-law. I bought a hand-cranked noodle machine, put the dough in and turn the handle to press out noodles one by one.

Baron Turgot's help was not in vain. When he left, he took a boat chartered by Da Franche, and everyone separated in the city of Amstel.

There was another passenger on the ship, also a fellow from the Kingdom of Gaul. He was Guillaume, who had met Baron Turgot.

Guillaume was introduced by another fellow villager to ride on Dafranche's boat. When he had nothing to do, Dafranche asked him: "What is your business?"
< br>Guillaume replied: "I am a student, not a businessman."

"Oh..." Da Franche nodded, "Now there are many students going to Weissenburg City to study. , which schools did you go to?”

Guiyum shook his head slightly and said: “I’m not studying abroad, I’m looking for someone who works in the Principality of Wesson.”

"For many years, our outstanding students at the University of Paris have received scholarships from His Majesty Louis, but the scholarships of us students from other places and local nobility have been embezzled by people in the school."

Da Franche shook his head and said: "Oh...those gentlemen are not good people...uh..."

He suddenly remembered that Baron Turgot was drinking tea next to him, and immediately said: "Sir, I I’m not talking about you, I’m talking about those in the city of Barris.”

Da Franche can scold the nobles in the distant city of Barris. They are far away and can’t be controlled anyway, but Baron Turgot. It was a local nobleman in his hometown who used many methods to kill him.

Baron Turgot said nonchalantly: "It's okay, I've been embezzled by them before."

Da Franche breathed a sigh of relief.

Guiyoum continued: "We went to court to file a lawsuit, but the judges said that we could only sue the nobles if many people signed on, so we looked around for alumni who had been deprived of scholarships in the past and asked them to help us. "

Da Franche understood. He was about to say something, but when he thought that Baron Turgot was nearby, he finally just said: "Litigation with a noble gentleman is troublesome."

"You. Just wait, no matter how many people you are gathering now, the big men in the court will definitely find other reasons, such as asking you to pay a lot of money. "

At this time, Baron Turgot said. : "That's not all. They will use various excuses to delay the case. I heard that there was a case that dragged on for decades, and the plaintiff and defendant both died of old age."

He was also one of the plaintiffs in the scholarship embezzlement case, but he knew very well the methods of those bureaucrats.

Those bureaucrats have a hard time getting them to do one thing well, but if they want to do bad things, they are the best at it.

Baron Turgot was not optimistic about this lawsuit in his heart. He only hoped to create some momentum so that the rats guarding the granary would not eat so much.

At this time, Da Franche sighed: "Oh, the Principality of Wesson is better. The common people can win the lawsuit against the nobles and still have to lose money."

Guillaume curiously Asked what the situation was, Da Franche told him about it.

Old Franz is the oldest nobleman in the Principality of Wesson, with a baronetcy. He is also the governor of Putz State and the chairman of the Football Association.

It is now popular for young people to ride motorcycles in the Principality of Wesson. Last autumn, he tried it out of curiosity, and ended up knocking a farmer who was returning from selling vegetables into the city with a load into a ditch.

The farmer who was hit felt that it was nothing serious at the time, but the place where he was hit was a little painful. Seeing that the other party was an old man, he did not dare to pursue the matter, so he went home by himself. But he actually had internal bleeding and died soon after returning home. When he was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment, he first underwent surgery to expose the affected area and then used treatment to save the ruptured spleen.

The victim could not afford the high cost of treatment. When the victim's son went to see old Franz, the housekeeper asked someone to beat him out, so he beat old Franz out of anger. Take it to court.

This lawsuit attracted widespread attention due to the special status of old Franz. The court quickly made a verdict. He was fully responsible for driving without a license and paid a large sum of money. His housekeeper and home guard were sentenced for beating the defendant. Six months to two years in prison and compensation.

The Duke of Wesson has a precedent of trying nobles for civilians. More than ten years ago, a distant relative of Archduke Byrne was publicly tried and hanged. Not long ago, the son of Archduke Franken was also tried and hanged. Many People regard these two incidents as political events.

But this was the first time that a domestic noble was publicly tried, and the domestic noble lost the case and a commoner won.

It was not long after the end of the World Expo. Foreigners had never seen such a scene, and the friendly countries were shocked for a while.

Baron Turgot remained silent about this incident. From a simple point of view of justice, he supported such a verdict, but from a noble point of view, he was speechless.

"What's more," Da Franche continued, "I heard that in Faia, several businessmen sued the municipal administration because the people in that agency charged higher sanitation fees than what is stipulated by law. A lot of them, and they later won the lawsuit. "

"Also, not long ago, a kid from a big noble in Cologne made a gang, and there were dozens of them, east of Weissenburg City. The stadium farm charges protection fees, guess what?”

Guiyum shook his head.

Da Franche said mysteriously: "That gangster was arrested by a group of Sardinian gangsters wearing black gloves, had their legs broken, and then dumped him in front of the police station."

Giyoum thought he knew what was going on, so he said, "They must have taken over the territory of those black gloves."

"No." Da Franche shook his head, "There is a Sardinian family who grows cabbage on a farm over there. The gangsters asked him to collect protection money, but the Sardinian family was not beaten."
< br>"The family found Miss Katie. She was the eldest lady of the Black Hand, the largest gang in the Kingdom of Sardinia. Later, the Black Hand beat those people."

Guiyoum didn't understand a little. : "That's not a land grab. That Sardinian family usually pays protection fees, right?"

"Hehe..." Da Franche laughed, "I know a small leader of the Black Hand Gang. , he often comes to buy oysters from me, and I have talked with him several times.”

“The Black Hand Gang looks down on the protection fee, which is far worse than selling canned oranges.”
< br>

"You don't know that from the north of the Inland Sea to the northernmost Green Island, the canned oranges in all countries are the business of the Black Hand Gang."

"So now the Sardinians in the Principality of Wesson are very united. , when encountering problems, he will seek help from the gangsters. He will reason with them when his own people are unreasonable, and he will try to reason with the other party when his own people are reasonable. If they don’t make sense, they will help him file a lawsuit. ”

Gui Youmu. He was amazed and asked: "What about us Gauls?"

Da Franche shrugged, said nothing, and then said everything.

He added: "Actually, it doesn't matter. We do business in the Principality of Wesson and pay taxes to the Principality of Wesson, which means that we have signed a contract with the Principality of Wesson and are protected by the Principality of Wesson."

Guillaume felt that there was a profound meaning behind this statement, but Da Franche only knew some things by chatting with other bosses, but he could not explain the big truth.
