Black Iron’s Glory

Chapter 153 Creditor's Bill

“According to the Kingdom's Inheritance Bill, due to Morsan... Albert Fields' eldest son. Fields and second son Claude. Fields is an adult and has signed a waiver of inheritance, so according to Morsan... The testament that Fields left behind, his lawful heir, was his third son, Browick. Fields. If you have no objection, please notarize this will by signing your name on the certificate. ”

Mr. Kalf, the chief of justice at the town hall, wrote three copies of the will execution certificate on most of the paper, and several of Mr. Morsan's old friends, such as Mr. Thomas, the former chief of the patrol police, signed their names on the table.

Director Kalf is an alternative in town hall, he has few friends in White Deer Town, has always been on his own and rarely made out with colleagues. However, this is also a characteristic of the Kingdom's judicial officials, most praiseworthy of the reforms undertaken in the Kingdom following the accession of Sterling IX to independence of the judicial system from the jurisdiction of the local authorities in order to guarantee the fairness and clarity of the law.

After the signatures were completed, the Kalf Supervisor took out the judicial seal of the town hall, stamped it on the three executory certificates, and took the pen and signed his name and date on the seal. Then give one executory certificate to Claude next to him, and the other two receive their own purses.

From this moment on, Browick, an eight-year-old boy. Fields became the family of Fields.

But it's not over yet, and Director Kalf came up with another document: "Morsan. Fields left behind a hogo-style four-story red brick building and a personal debt worth 500 crowns. Given that his legal successor, Blovik, is not yet a minor, his legacy is vested in his mother, Bertizia. Mrs. Fields took care of it on her behalf until Browick. Fields was eighteen years old until he became an adult. If there is no objection, please sign your names as evidence. ”

So you signed your name again.

The world seemed to Claude to have some grass eggs, and the inferiority of men and women was very serious. It was only after his father committed suicide that he realized that his mother and sister had no inheritance rights. In this heterogeneous world, women are merely male subordinates.

For example, the Inheritance Bill of the Kingdom of Orvillas stipulates that men are the prime successor, and that only women in the family whose male heirs waive their inheritance rights, or who have no male heirs in the family, are vested in their female heirs.

If Claude's brother, Browick, were to give up his inheritance, Mr. Morsan's heir would be his mother and sister, Angelina.

In Claude's view, the situation of extreme inequality between men and women is quite normal in the eyes of the mother, who, like a woman married a civilian, could only be a civilian and married to a national, who would then be the national wife, who would also be treated as a national. After his father committed suicide, his mother similarly lost her nationality and became a civilian woman.

At the end of the day, the head of Kalf picked up the 500 gold crown loan and announced, "Because of the debtor, Morsan. Fields committed suicide, and his debts of 500 gold kroner will be borne by his rightful heir, Browick. Fields inherited. According to the Kingdom's Claims Act, in view of the heir Blovik... Fields is not yet a minor, and this debt will be frozen after it has been redefined and settled until the heirs have reached maturity. Due to the magnitude of the debt, it is determined that the heir of the debt must repay it within ten years of its adulthood…”

That is the real reason Sir Fox was so angry when he heard Mr. Morsan commit suicide that he was played with his life by Mr. Morsan. If the minor, Little Blovik, were to become his successor, the debt of 500 gold kroner would have to wait for Little Blovik to be repaid until he reached maturity, as stipulated in the Kingdom's Claims Act. Little Booker is only 8 years old and 18 years old. He has to wait 10 years...

During the decade, as a result of the debt freeze, the big Red Brick house remained a family property belonging to the Fields and its rental income was owned by Little Booker. In addition, due to the excessive amount of the debt, the rescheduled loan repayment period is determined to be within 10 years of the debtor's adulthood after the determination of the relationship between the creditor and the new debtor. In other words, Sir Fox, as a creditor, would have to wait at least 20 years to receive the debt in the amount of 500 gold crowns.

Sir Fox is 61 years old this year, and he doesn't know if he can live another 20 years. The only advantage was that the debt, which had been re-notarized and recognized under the laws of the Kingdom, proved the existence of a debt worth up to 500 gold kroner, rather than the unsecured debit note he had set a trap for Mr. Morsan to write.

When Sterling IX came to power, he went into folk when he was young to understand the suffering of the people. So when he carried out the financial reform of the Kingdom, he forcefully introduced the debt bill, networked the wild horse of excessive private lending activities, eliminated the tragedy of the death of countless civilian households caused by large-scale private unsecured lending operations, greatly restricted the private sector's increasingly aggressive high-interest lending operations, cleaned up the financial markets of the Kingdom, and laid the foundation for the establishment of the National Bank and the issuance of a standard general currency.

This 500 gold crown debit note is an unsecured loan. With the debt bill, unsecured loans become the most unsecured loan, and no creditor in the private sector would be willing to sign such a loan note. But Sir Fox wouldn't dare put Morsan on the collateral, and he feared that Mr. Morsan would be alert. Besides, he just wanted to invest in one more insurance policy and didn't expect anything to happen to the merchant fleet.

With all due respect, Sir Fox would also like the merchant fleet to sail safely and make a fortune out of itself. It's just bad luck, the rich dream is gone, and he's trying to make up for his loss from Mr. Morsan with this borrowing note, which entrusts Bidrill, the head of the Black Snake Club. Brunch went to ask for the bill. The idea was to rely on the notoriety of butcher Bill to intimidate Mr. Morsan and give up all his family assets.

Sir Fox has long had a heart for the Hogo-style four-story red brick house of the Fields. As the only member of the National Assembly in White Deer Town, Sir Fox has always believed that he had lost his identity living on an estate outside the town. It's easy to buy a piece of land in town and build another luxury home, but the new house has no roots, and only this big red brick house, the most famous in White Deer Town's history, is best suited to become one of its own.

Sir Fox has always thought that Mr. Morsan's conversion of the big red brick house into an apartment rental was a real waste of the reputation of this Hogo building. It was only once that he had commissioned Mr. Morsan to ask him whether he wanted to transfer the large red brick house, which was categorically rejected by Mr. Morsan. With such a good opportunity, Sir Fox has long decided to put this big red brick house in his bag and convert it into his own mansion.

I just didn't expect Mr. Morsan to be so resolute that he grabbed the only empty space on the borrower without collateral and left Sir Fox's plot empty with suicide. Sir Fox can totally imagine that Mr. Morsan's soul must be laughing at him. Do you want my house? Yes, but you have to wait another 20 years...

Most painfully, Sir Fox, as a creditor, also had an obligation to the safety of the new debtor, Browick Jr., before he became a minor. Because the Kingdom's Claims Act provides that if a new debtor dies irregularly during the debt freeze, the debt will then dissipate and will not be borne by the new heirs.

The bill's regulations aroused considerable controversy in the National Assembly that year, with almost half of the members opposed and supporting it. However, owing to the high level of private unsecured lending at that time, there were several cases in which poor creditors had killed the debtor in order to transfer the debt to an heir who was in a position to pay it. There have also been numerous instances of creditors colluding with the dark forces to murder debtors and sell their daughters to places of wind and moon.

Ultimately, with the strong support of Sterling IX, the bill was passed by the National Assembly with a modest advantage in the third final vote. Since then, almost all unsecured borrowers have turned their heads, and their oral meditation is “to show you how hard it is to die...”

The enactment and adoption of the Bill of Claims was a terrible drain for all lenders in the Kingdom of Ovieras, especially those who borrowed without collateral, with individual losses. For the Kingdom, however, this has stopped the tide of unsecured lending and put the financial lending operations back on track. Even high-interest lenders now need mortgages to lend.

Superintendent Kalf took four of the same newly-copied loan agreements out of his purse and put them on the table, and because his mother could not sleep in a coma because her father's suicide sadness was excessive, Claude signed them forward as a new debt agent and guarantor, and then brought his little brother, Buckler, over to paint red oil on his right thumb and press on the agreement.

Little Booker didn't understand what Mr. Morsan's suicide meant to him in the morning, only that there were a lot of people in the house, a very serious look. Mom and sister have also been crying, both inside and outside Claude is taking care of it, usually his favorite brother became silent anomaly made him scared. I know a little bit, but I'm eight years old, and I know something bad happened at home, so he's been holding the little snow dog quietly in the corner, and Claude tells him to do whatever he wants.

“Creditors are invited to sign.” Mr. Kalf said.

The Black Snake Club boss, Bedrill. Brunch finally waited for a chance to play, and he had never seen or experienced anything like it. Many dead people have seen before, but in the slums, no one has ever died so solemnly. Yes, it is solemnly. Most of them buy a thin-skinned coffin and send it to the temple cemetery to dig a pit. Ask a pastor to read a few prayer words. The traveler is only a dozen friends and family.

But it never occurred to me that Mr. Morsan, the former chief of administration, would have been so big after his suicide, that he would have been somewhat frightened, and that Mr. Kalf, the chief of the judiciary, would personally arrange for the will to be executed, the heirs to be identified, and the debt agreement to be rescheduled, which would have allowed the Black Snake boss, now captain of the guard squadron, Bidrill. Blondie was so awed and uneasy, she even thought about it, and if she died in such a situation, she wouldn't be unjust for the rest of her life.

But Bedrill. Brönch didn't expect to be stopped by the head of Kalf: "Captain Bedrill, you're not a creditor, you don't have the right to sign. ”

“But I have a power of attorney written by Sir Fox himself!” Bidrill. Bronchie hastily pulled the Fox hunger strike housekeeper out of his pocket and gave him the power of attorney.

Director Kalf shook his head: "I'm sorry to say that you are not a direct relative of Sir Fox and do not have the right to be entrusted with an agent in connection with the enormous debt of 500 kilograms. Please inform Sir Fox that, under the Kingdom's Claims Act, a creditor who is unable to enter into a new loan agreement in person after the debt has been rescheduled will voluntarily renounce the debt. ”

Bedrill. Brunch stormed out the door, grabbed one of his own men, promptly whipped him to Fox Estate, and asked Sir Fox to come and sign a new loan agreement. Five hundred gold kroner is at stake, and he dares not make his own decisions.

More than an hour later, Sir Fox finally appeared outside the door. He didn't want to come, but not coming means the debt is gone. Even if it takes 20 years to receive the debt, it is better than not. It is a huge sum of 500 crowns, so he finally came.

If Sir Fox had appeared before and all the prestigious and prestigious people in the town would have come up to greet him, then this time he appeared at Claude's house and nobody would have ignored him. Some ignore him, some look at him but don't talk, and obviously everyone knows what he's doing.
