Chapter 905 Picking up the leaks
The lawsuit for compensation was not difficult, but because of Ou Mengmeng's caution, Chief Justice Merlin was actually being led by them. After all, the wizarding world has never tried any cases in a proper manner. For example, Harry Potter went to court twice, and both times were like jokes. Ou Mengmeng just wanted to give the wizarding world a good legal education.

The newspapers were also full of noise. For example, after Sirius's shocking reversal, they questioned the Ministry of Magic again about Barty Jr. Is this what you call screening?
You can admit that old Barty is not a Death Eater, but you cannot let him keep his power. Because this is the collective irresponsibility of wizards. And this is a rebellion without cost. Anyway, I can't play any role in the family. So, it doesn't matter if I go to jail. Anyway, my parents are still here, the family wealth is still there, and my father is still in a high position. I can still stay in Azkaban without repenting.

The picture in the newspaper happened to be the interrogation of little Barty. Twelve years had passed, and he had grown from a teenager to middle-aged, but he still had a look of disdain on his face, and was still shouting: "The Dark Lord will definitely return."

Once such a newspaper came out, she didn't believe that old Barty could still stay in the position of International Magical Cooperation Department. But she heard that he was a friend of Dumbledore, and it was Dumbledore who always supported him and thought he was a real person.

The lawsuit continued, and the Death Eaters' unrepentant behavior was reported. Ou Mengmeng also tried her best to have the newspapers call on wizards to attend the trial, to let them know that this was not a lawsuit for compensation, but a lawsuit that would prevent people from doing bad things again. If you dare to do bad things, I will make your family bankrupt.

Old Barty also resigned under such circumstances. He had no choice but to resign. There weren't many people in the wizarding world, but now everyone lived together. When they walked down the street, they could chat for a while. Then, the noble families and officials who didn't live here were naturally the opposite. After reading the newspaper, they couldn't help it. So everyone shouted so much that they could blow up the Ministry of Magic. Fudge also talked to him and suggested that he take a break and have a vacation!
Old Batty was a little disappointed. He was only one step away from the position of minister. But he was not an ordinary person after all. He said directly that his wife was seriously ill and he had originally planned to go abroad for treatment after hearing his son's trial. Now he was very sad to see that his son did not repent. He was too ashamed to stay in the position. He had already written the resignation letter, but he did not bring it with him.

Fudge pretended to sympathize, but didn't say a word to persuade him to stay. He waited until the next day to receive the resignation letter and broadcast it to the entire wizarding world, once again stating the Ministry of Magic's position. As for the request for legislation that those with a criminal record within three generations cannot work in the public sector, the Ministry of Magic is carefully considering it.

Old Barty looked at the situation and knew that the situation was hopeless. He calculated the family property and only took enough money for retirement. He took his wife and the house-elves abroad and handed the rest to the legal team. He said, "I accept the loss!"

Mrs. Batty was reluctant, but she knew that there was no chance anymore. She left England with her husband in sorrow, and as her husband said, she wanted to find a warm place to live out the rest of her life.

Ou Mengmeng felt that perhaps this was happiness. In the original book, old Barty was killed by his son. Now, at least, he could spend the last peaceful life with his wife. And he would not lose his integrity in his later years. At least now, he was still a highly respected and upright official in the Ministry of Magic. It was just that he was unlucky and was implicated by his son.

With the incident of old Batty, some other families who were waiting and watching thought it was okay, counted the property, and then paid the fine according to the share of their sons (daughters). Of course, this also became an example for everyone to teach their children and grandchildren at home, see, you not only hurt yourself, but also your parents, children, and grandchildren.

In this way, the battle of public opinion was won. And now Ou Mengmeng received a letter that the Ministry of Magic was going to pass the "Three Generations Act".

Although it has not been made clear yet, the Ministry of Magic has already started an internal investigation. A family with Death Eaters within three generations is no longer suitable to work in the Ministry of Magic. Everyone is sensible and leaves on their own. Although some of those implicated are innocent, it is also a deterrent. After graduating from Hogwarts, finding a job is the key. Many people aim to enter the Ministry of Magic. As a result, most students like Slyklin cannot enter the Ministry of Magic. This is a fatal blow to the ambitious Slyklin.

At this time, Ou Mengmeng had to write a big "surrender" to Lucius. The whole wizarding world knew that he was a Death Eater, but they could not find any evidence against him. Now there was a third-generation theory, but after further investigation, strictly speaking, he was not even a third-generation Death Eater in his family. He just happened to marry the sister of a Death Eater.

See? How could Ou Mengmeng not admire him for being able to achieve this?
Is Lucius Malfoy an ordinary person? Of course not, he is a businessman. He immediately apologized to the public, saying that although there was no problem with his family for three generations, his brother-in-law's family was. If he had played a positive role at the beginning, perhaps the tragedy would not have happened. He was in pain all the time, so he now resigned from the Ministry of Magic.

This is very well done. Look at his awareness. The public's view of Lucius has also changed greatly. Although he has a bad face, it must be said that he is generous!
Ou Mengmeng later heard from Draco that Fudge and Lucius were going to set up an advisory group, which would not occupy the Ministry of Magic's establishment and would not receive any money, but was just a matter of status. It was equivalent to a government think tank. Lucius was originally very busy making money, and now it was just right, with the influence of the government on the one hand, and free time on the other.

And Fudge has gained another wave of support. How can this be explained? In fact, a normal government would consider the reputation and power of the noble families. Isn't Fudge lucky? It happened that the mysterious man fell, and then the Order of the Phoenix brought people to restore normal order.

The people who supported the mysterious man were all aristocratic families, and didn't you see that Lucius was always keeping his tail between his legs in the original book? When the mysterious man returned, these people all turned to the mysterious man, and this was their darkest moment.

So now, with the three-generation decree, coupled with the arrogance and madness of Barty Jr. and Bella in court, the remaining noble families all felt their anus tightened. When the noble families and nobles dared not to move, the Ministry of Magic could do whatever it wanted. If it was before Voldemort, the noble families controlled two-thirds of the income of the wizarding world, and the Ministry of Magic would have nothing to do.

Moreover, now, the compensation case is underway, and the money, estates, and companies are all frozen. Even if they are not given to the Ministry of Magic, they are no longer these people's. They have no power and no money, but won't the Ministry of Magic become more powerful? This made Fudge smile, and he no longer had to look at Dumbledore's face to act.

Drake thought, is it okay to put this idiot on the stage?

Ou Mengmeng asked back, can you please let someone who is not stupid go up?
Drake touched his nose and left. Yes, idiots can only see the shit in front of them and don't pay attention to the overall situation. Such people are so easy to appease!
I went to eat lunch with my sister today. We had two dishes and a bowl of rice. Both dishes were meat dishes, and it was obvious that we were both meat lovers. There was no adulteration at all.
