Chapter 1130 Yes, this is blackmail(2/2)
Kingsley hesitated for a moment, then raised his wand and used Avada Kedavra to kill the seriously injured Travers.
"Don't be merciful, otherwise you will probably be killed next moment." Scrimgeour taught the surrounding Aurors, "Don't expect your enemies to be merciful."
As he spoke, he also bent down and took off the mask of the other Death Eater, and softly called out the other person's name: "Lucius Malfoy, look, he's an old acquaintance again."
"Wait Scrimgeour." Gadwin suddenly stopped Scrimgeour from chanting a curse to kill Lucius Malfoy.
"What's wrong?" Scrimgeour asked doubtfully.
"Many colleagues were seriously injured and even died, and their families need a consolation payment," Gadwin hinted.
The Ministry of Magic doesn't care about solace payments, because Aurors' salaries are very high, and this high-risk income directly dwarfs the wages of most Ministry of Magic employees.
Scrimgeour was silent, because there were nine fallen in total, seven of whom had been killed in the battle, the other two were seriously injured and unconscious, and many other Aurors were also injured.
"If the Malfoy family is willing to pay a high fine, we'd better sentence him to life imprisonment in Azkaban instead of killing the person directly." Gadwin suggested.
This was actually a solution they had discussed over and over again. The Auror Office of the Ministry of Magic actually didn't have much funding. If you wanted the Aurors to work hard, you had to spend some money.
As long as you are smart, you will know that being sentenced to life imprisonment in Azkaban is much better than being directly killed by the Aurors.
After all, if you go to jail, you still have a chance to get out.
This is not the first time Voldemort has robbed the prison.
If you were killed directly, you wouldn't even have a chance.
"Well, if he is willing, I don't mind." Scrimgeour hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Before that, we need to use veritaserum to interrogate these scum, and those who do evil must die."
The conversation between the two did not avoid the other Aurors around them, but it was mainly to see how they would react.
There is no doubt that this proposal has been approved by everyone.
This is considered extortion in disguise.
In the past, even if Death Eaters were caught, they would not be killed directly.
He said that he wanted to kill the Death Eaters, but in fact it was just Scrimgeour's order, and Gadwin was only helping them to benefit. The families of those Aurors who died could receive a compensation, and those who were seriously injured and hospitalized could receive subsidies. In the future, the family would at least be able to
Can live more comfortably.
Of course, there is another reason.
Scrimgeour plans to bribe the employees of the Ministry of Magic and buy them dark magic defense items. These all require Galleons. The Ministry of Magic can provide some of them, but someone must help pay for most of the Galleons. Death Eaters are a good money bag.
, anyway, they are very rich, they are allowed to spend money to save their lives, but the special preferential treatment given to them is not available to others.
Of course, this can also allow Gadwin to secure his position as the director of the Auror Office. A leader who is willing to consider his subordinates is always loved by others.
"Take off their masks and let's see what lucky ones can escape."
