Chapter 4 Squeeze the bone and suck the marrow
The sound of the giant falling down is a signal of the meat-eaters having a meal.
From the perspective of wealth size, the Shafik family, which merged the wealth of the Fangli family, can be regarded as a behemoth.
Of course, in the small social circle of the wizarding world, if you dare to say this in the ordinary world, you will only make a joke.
In Wiesengamor's verdict on Stanley Shafik, the atonement compensation is divided into three parts:
Compensation for direct and indirect damage to public property during the period of evil.
Financial compensation to the victim's family.
Compensation for joint pursuit costs of the International Federation of Magic and the British Ministry of Magic.
This atonement compensation is obviously the giant mouth and sharp teeth that swallow the wealth of the Shafik family and the Fangli family.
Actually, there are some specific statements:
Lions feast on their bodies, hyenas gnaw on their bones and tendons, and crows pick their stitches and peck at the gaps. Each has its own food and the division of labor is clear.
The same is true for dealing with the Shafik family. The division plan has been discussed secretly.
The lion of the International Magic Federation has gone.
The hyena, the British Ministry of Magic, should represent the local powerful people, is here.
Nozawayuan Castle and Exmoor Villa are the foods of hyena. They are not plump enough, but they are still very nutritious and delicious when you savor them carefully.
Some people have already figured out how to make a profit after getting it.
As for the part that belongs to the crow, doesn’t Catherine still have some gold, silver, fine and soft possessions in her hands?
Throughout the plan, Katherine Shafik will sooner or later pawn these for money in order to live.
When she sold these three of them, which were worth two, it was like a crow eating meat.
Vincent thought Shafik and his son had a difficult life in the future. Rubes said dismissively: "Wealth is impossible. This is a sin made by Stanley. Now it is ten times more. Is it okay to live a peaceful life? The British Ministry of Magic has made a statement in public, and Is there a job waiting for her to take up her job?"
Vincent laughed: "There is an old joke about the encounter of a law enforcement officer who made a mistake and was imprisoned in a prison. Most of the prisoners in that prison were caught by this law enforcement officer..."
Of course Rupers knew this joke, after all, he was only transferred from Aurors last year.
Then he understood, understood that the resentment was difficult to resolve, and that the family of the Death Eaters could not work in the Ministry of Magic.
Vincent said again: "Business is about being kind and making money, so those shops will not hire a family member of the Death Eater, which is too unfriendly to customers."
"In that case, Catherine couldn't find a job at all?"
"It's very difficult," Vincent said again. "I guess after we leave, Catherine will pawn ancestral objects, such as jewelry and oil paintings."
"But you have to know that the best batch has been taken away, and the rest are those that are not very popular and are difficult to sell. Even if Catherine still has some ways to get it, she will not get much money. Because this is something that some people do not allow."
Rubos clenched his fists and said, "The Shafik family surrendered, but the end result was like this! Many people who did evil escaped punishment. It's so annoying."
"Yes, nothing changed in the end. Those who died were ordinary wizards, and those who paid the price for their sins were mostly executors who obeyed the orders like Stanley. The leader who should be hanged the most was either missing or successfully escaped from the crime, and still had capital. Although he was damaged, he became rich through a new round of annexation and integration, waving Jin Jialong and gaining power again."
Rubers sighed: "It's so sad. Look at it. As George Harrison said, the Wizards War will really have a second half."
"The possibility is very high, but I think I can rest for more than ten years."...
I slowly walked back to the front of the mansion and saw the last group of people carrying valuables coming out of the house.
When the two saw that Catherine looked bleak, messy, haggard and down.
Her son Kane had a blood-colored face. He was obviously midsummer, but he was trembling, his lips were all blue, and he coughed from time to time, and his coughing sound was hoarse, like an old smoke gun.
I have embarked on the road of escape since I was two years old. It is not surprising that I have been wandering around for four years and have suffered from stubborn diseases.
Rubos thought to himself: "It's so miserable, but what's worse is that there is no light in the future."
But Vincent thought of George Harrison's words at the trial.
His eyes looked at the little Kane who looked like a tuberculosis.
He knew that if this child could survive, then the most precipitated in his heart would never be enthusiasm, friendship, trust and fraternity. And in today's wizarding world, how many people are like Little Kane?
To be honest, not a lot, but not very few.
If Kane knew Vincent’s thoughts at this time, he might have secretly laughed at Vincent as being too emotional and appearing literary.
He felt that at least he would never be as Vincent thought.
I have never lost my memory in my previous life, but my three views have been determined. If I lose, I have to admit it, and if I make mistakes, I have to improve it. What I mean is the present.
Stanley's surrender was planned by him.
He expected that he would be as sad as he is now.
He even started planning and making arrangements on the way to escape. Now, some of them are useful, such as Catherine's squin aunt.
It can be said that to this day, his plan has not gone astray, washed away all the filth, and lived in the sun again, which is what he wants.
What is cleaning?
Go to jail to pay?
Not enough, at least in the wizarding world, doing so is not enough.
It also requires that dignity be trampled on. The more domineering he was at the beginning, the more humble he was now, so that he could make people feel angry.
This is what I mean by debts and repayment of favors.
A slippery escape from disaster like Lucius Malfoy cannot cleanse one's own stains.
Those headed by Dumbledore will always look at him differently.
Voldemort and the Death Eater also held his black foundation, like a buried landmine, threatened by it at all times.
He is different from Catherine. The misery now is precisely the price of cleaning up. Be a new person and make a new choice.
As for money, he never felt sad about that.
He has some ways to solve the problem of money.
After the house was searched, Catherine slept for a short time and still looked haggard when she woke up. The accumulated wind and frost over the years cannot be recovered in just one and a half.
She was lying on the bed and looking at her almost empty house, she couldn't help but feel a little worried.
She said to her son who was standing quietly in the corner of the room with his eyes closed, "Kain, are we doing something wrong? Stanley continues his escape journey and we return to take over the wealth of both families. Isn't it necessary to be so miserable?"
Kane opened his eyes, and a lightning flashed through his eyes.
Even if Katherine has seen this situation many times, she will still be amazed when she looks at it again. She sincerely feels that if there is the title of Witch God in the wizarding world, it must be prepared for Kane in the future.
"No, if that is the case, those people will use all kinds of statements to drag us to do nothing, but they take the opportunity to swallow our wealth. At that time, a lot of wealth will be plundered, but there is no benefit to us, which is equivalent to a vain loss."
"And, Stanley's problem must be an explanation. We can only delay it. For the just people, those who were persecuted by Stanley and their families, Stanley was judged and his property was confiscated, and we ended up miserably. This was the price that we paid, and the anger in our hearts was considered to be out."
"For those who are planning our wealth, our innocentness or not, Stanley's crimes are not the point. The key is that the guardians of the two families have died and we have become fat. They were damaged after the war and needed to be supplemented. If they could not get it, they were unwilling to give it up."
Katherine said: "This is something I have never figured out. Why didn't the Ministry of Magic and the Order of Phoenix choose to take the opportunity to overturn those people? You should know that many people in the Ministry of Magic hate them, and the Order of Phoenix is basically opposite them."
Kane said disdainfully: "What's the use of hatred? They also have stains, a little less, but they can't even be jailed, even if they don't go to prison, how can they give up? And just people are bound by the rules of justice. They have to tell evidence, and they can't make a decision in private."
He also said: "In the wizard war, the most common people are those who change their minds, and among them, the powerful are good at playing these two-sided bet tricks. Those who really make the same fuss with Voldemort are either lunatics like Bellatrix or fools like Stanley."
"It is precisely because of this that when those people hide their evidence of guilt and come up with relevant evidence that is biased towards justice, and those in the Ministry of Magic dare not defeat the death, the righteous people can only pinch their noses and put a code. And they also have to consider the price of eliminating evil."
Catherine sighed: "According to your words, we are so depressed and out of here, because we have lost our strength."
"We actually have the power. I use my means to make those people feel scared and full of fear. I want more and want to take the opportunity to cleanse up. There are not many opportunities to wipe the past and re-establish the image."
