After being addicted to alchemy, the lady was kneeled and licked by the Duke

Chapter 420: There will never be any quarrel.

Popularizing legal concepts, the subsequent huge workload almost overwhelmed the newly established 'Legal Department' in Emerald City.

For a month, everyone from the cook in the city hall to Li Aili, the city lord, has been squatting at their posts, ready to receive cases from various places from the devil at any time.

This is a very important part.

It will set up a benchmark called 'Law' in everyone's heart and establish the living beings' understanding of the God of Law.

"Your Highness, there is a problem here." Joanna, with dark circles under her eyes, brought out a case.

"If the long-lived species and the short-lived species are guilty of the same crime, should they be sentenced to the same sentence?"

Hearing this, the whole office fell silent, even the sound of turning pages of books disappeared.

Everyone looked at Li Aili.

After staying up late and working overtime for several days, Li Aili's mind was dizzy. When she first heard this question, her thinking was still based on her past life experience.

"certainly……"

She stopped her voice just in time.

Wait, this question is too important.

How should a long-lived species that can live for thousands of years commit the same crime as a short-lived species that only lives for a hundred years?
“Of course it’s the same, our Emerald City is racially equal!

If the same crime is committed, it only takes 3 years for the short-lived species and 300 years for the long-lived species... Oh! God of law, isn't this racial discrimination? ! "

Li Aili glanced at the speaker. He was a Tankar mixed-blood elf, an immortal species.

"I object!" The person who stood up was a capable pure human, a short-lived species.

"Let me give you an example. For example, for the crime of theft, the sentence is from three to 20 years. The specific sentence is determined based on the value of the stolen items."

"Twenty years is 1/4 of your life for short-lived species, but for long-lived species, it is also a very short period of time for you, right?"

"Then for an immortal species, even if he steals all the seven secret treasures in the world! He only needs to live in prison for 140 years!"

"Damn it! Did you Immortals find a 'creative' way to make a fortune!?"

These words were like thunder on the ground, directly triggering a heated discussion among the employees in the office.

The office that was originally lifeless due to overtime work instantly turned into a toad pit.

No...much scarier than Toad Hole.

At least, Toad Pit was just for noisy fun, but here... As the verbal exchanges continued to escalate, the long-lived species and the short-lived species who spoke first were already preparing for real-person PK to decide whose opinion was more accurate.

Various folders are "flying freely" in the air. Before, they were brothers and sisters who worked overtime together and shared the joys and sorrows. In an instant, they became "class enemies" whose butt determines their head.

Li Aili and Joanna hid under the desk to "temporarily escape the limelight."

She expressionlessly took out an alchemy potion, and with a slight shake, the base fluid in the bottle turned into a calming potion.

Very good, let’s calm down first and then talk!

Just when she stood up and prepared to make a big move, the office door was kicked open with a bang.

The Duke's cold blue eyes were like 'forbidden magic', scanning the messy office.

He put his hand on the hilt of his sword, "What? Is there a riot here?"

The civilian staff of the Legal Department all shuddered and shook their heads wildly.

Their lord husbands were very famous, but they were all cut off one by one.

Just kidding, 'Kingslayer', 'Bloody Archduke', 'Clark Demon'... In short, in front of this person, even the evil ones crawling out of the abyss must behave like rabbits.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty, we just had a little dispute over official matters." A civilian employee from the Legal Department explained.

Although no calming potion was thrown, they reached the same goal by different routes. Li Aili said: "Debate rationally and refuse to escalate to a fight."

Soon, the long-lived species and the short-lived species spontaneously formed two sides, "pro" and "con".

Under the watchful eye of the air-conditioned Duke, the debate begins.

But, should we call it the 'Legal Department'?

Even despite the low pressure from His Highness the Duke, he did not make any concessions on issues involving his own camp's interests.

The Duke walked straight through the noisy two parties and led his subordinate (front) to Li Aili.

"Oh, honey, you came just in time."

Li Aili was completely unaware that someone had unilaterally gone from 'quarrel' to 'cold war' with her, and finally reached the great harmony of life of 'self-persuasion'.

After giving her husband a quick, sloppy hug, she said, "Oh, by the way, so, what brings you here?"

Li Aili's brain was already filled with various criminal cases, so she ruled out unreliable options such as 'visiting class', 'sticky love period' and directly locked on 'government affairs exchange'.

Duke: "..."

He stared at his wife expressionlessly.

If Li Aili could read minds, she would definitely be able to see it above the head of His Excellency the Duke: [I and a hundred boxes of treasures can only choose one thing, which one do you choose? 】

[Change the question, which one do you choose, me or work? 】

Li Aili only saw the Duke looking at her deeply with his charming blue eyes.

They are already an old married couple, so I feel embarrassed to stare at her like this...

"I have received a complaint against you from a subordinate."

Li Aili: "Ah???"

The Duke stepped aside slightly, revealing Edward behind him who looked equally confused.

"You violated a husband's rights."

"Because you illegally forced his wife to work overtime."

"As a result, he stayed alone in the empty house for a month."

Joanna: "..."

Edward: "…………"

Li Aili: "………………"

A real old married couple exchanged quick glances.

Joanna: [What's going on? Did you say such disgusting things to His Highness? ] Edward looked back numbly: [Don't ask me. I have no idea. none of my business. 】

Joanna understood, holding back a smile and looked at a certain Duke who was complaining in the name of a former subordinate.

Why didn't I realize that this person was so...hahaha!

Li Aili: "..."

She looked at Joanna, who had been working overtime with her for a month, and then at Edward, who was 'forbearing'.

In the end, it was the clerk from the Legal Department who was noisy and wanted to take action again that made her make up her mind.

"Holiday!" A certain city lord raised his head and roared.

The effect is really immediate, and the dogs don’t even quarrel even if they work overtime.

Li Aili nodded with satisfaction, and then added: "One day."

"Ow..."

There was a feeble wail in the office.

But it's better than nothing. Everyone packed up their things in a normal manner, and then rushed out of the office like a runaway dog.

The Duke was finally satisfied and brought his wife, who had been in the cold war for a month, back to the castle.

"Conard, I want cake! All kinds of delicious cakes!"

Those tricky cases were so terrifying that Li Aili felt like she would be bald for a month.

Now only a small cake can comfort her hurt heart.

Just when Conrad kept an elegant smile and turned to leave to prepare lunch, Li Ellie received a message belatedly.

There is a message from Joanna on the arcane communicator:
[Share your experience: How to deal with your abusive husband. 】

[Share your experience: How to get your wronged husband to take the initiative to end the cold war period. 】

[Share your experience: How to calmly and effectively communicate with your knight husband]

【Share……】

Li Aili: "???" She realized later... Her subordinates seemed to think she and her husband... had a quarrel?

Li Aili looked up and saw the handsome man sitting on the single sofa quietly reading a book.

Sensing her gaze, the man raised his head and put the book on his knees, "What?"

Li Aili smiled and shook her head.

She must be overthinking it.

Why would Arthur lose his temper with her?
Although they are both knights, Arthur is different.

Moreover, they haven't had any disagreements recently.

"It's okay, I just remembered the case that everyone argued about before."

The Duke pressed his slender fingers on the cover of the book, cleverly hiding the title on it - "One Hundred Little Tips for Harmonious Couples".

The Duke waved to Li Aili and motioned for her to sit over, "Maybe you can talk about it and I can give you some advice."

Hearing this, Li Aili didn't expect that she could really get help from her husband with just a casual talk.

After all, if we keep arguing about this matter, there will be more work to do later!
So, Li Aili walked to the single sofa where the Duke was sitting and began to talk about the quarrel in the morning.

Arthur gently pushed the person onto his lap.

result……

The Duke found with a deadpan expression that his wife was too focused on business and did not notice the ambiguous atmosphere at all.

"So, honey, do you have any ideas?"

Duke: "..."

Take a deep breath.

"Why don't you ask that 'litigator'?"

Li Aili: "!"

She happily hugged her husband's neck, and then kissed the side of Arthur's face hard "mua".

Without waiting for the Duke's reaction, she jumped away and immediately contacted a certain "lawsuit stick" in the world.

"...That's what it is, what do you mean, Panticilin?"

This problem did not trouble Panticillin.

"A law that binds all races. You are truly a noble lord who makes exceptions."

"After thousands of years of hard work, I can only extend the concept of 'law' to non-Zhilian members."

Li Aili blushed at the praise.

"Your problem is easily solved."

"What do you think the law should be?"

"I don't think civilians need to fear it when no one is violating it."

"However, for potential criminals who are ready to take action, the criminal law will deter them."

Li Aili nodded, seeming to catch something in her mind.

"So, my opinion is, lifespan may be different, but we can find commonalities across races as sentencing standards."

Li Aili: "!"

With a flash of inspiration, she and Panticilin said in unison: "Money!"

Everyone's lifespan is different, but even the Tankar elves have to work hard for their mortgage loans.

"As you said, stealing the seven secret treasures will not result in the death penalty. Otherwise, the benefits obtained by the criminals will not be equal to the criminal law they receive."

"But..." Panticilin smiled slightly, "We can formulate a fine system. Using a fine that exceeds the value of the seven secret treasures will make those who are ready to act think twice before taking action."

“Of course, the sentence must be combined with the prison sentence.

Losing money and freedom may make some guys think twice the next time they are ready to make a move. "
