8. Emilia tells the story of a naive merchant who stumbles into the path of the inquisition (Day 1, Story 6)

In the 6th story of the first day, Emilia tells the story of a wealthy yet simple man who foolishly stumbles into the notice of the dangerous and powerful religious inquisition. As a consequence, a greedy inquisitor begins leeching the man's money, but the merchant uses just a few simple words from the Gospel to reveal the hypocrisy in the clergy.

This story was narrated by Diana Guizado.
