Chapter 160: Mountain rain is coming

"What the hell!"

Dennis, the sheriff of the city, looked at the gloomy sky and grumbled.

Two days had passed since William's ascension to barony had been approved by the Council of the Palace.

In the past two days, the weather has suddenly become more and more muggy, and the air is filled with a heavy humidity, which is rare in island countries.

Many people know that it is going to rain, but it has not yet rained, as if they are waiting for the right time.

Beside Dennis, a uniformed policeman nodded and held his hat, and kept fanning him, but the weather was already stuffy and hot, and the wind from the fan also carried a hot breath. Dennis pushed away his bearded men and walked forward.

At today's pre-palace meeting, William, the object of Dennis's refuge, finally got his wish and became the deputy minister of the interior, and he had the power to manage the slums in name only, and this good news is the reason why Dennis can still have the energy to patrol the streets in the humid and sultry summer.

The policeman who was pushed away was not at all dissatisfied, and quickly stepped forward again, and after looking up, he persuaded: "My lord, this weather is uncertain when it will rain, why don't we go back and rest for a while, lest you get wet in the rain." ”

"It's not much better to be back in the house. Dennis ignored it, he wasn't really so conscientious, but he had been in contact with William for a while, and he knew some of the personality of this new superior, and knew that William appreciated his hard-working subordinates.

Dennis gambled, since he has placed a heavy bet on William, and William's current unemployment is thriving, of course he has to behave well.

Dennis led a few policemen to patrol the streets one by one, and when he saw the half-built wall, and came to the edge of the aristocratic and plebeian quarters, he saw a group of well-dressed and high-spirited young men coming out of the aristocratic quarters.

Dennis is also a member of the aristocracy, but his family is in the middle of the road, he naturally knows the behavior of these noble children, and he doesn't want to cause trouble, so he left the middle of the road with a few subordinates and came to the side.

When a dozen or so aristocratic children who were obviously going to the civilian area to drink and play together, they walked in front of Dennis, and looked at them curiously, and did not shy away from pointing to the few policemen who were sweating profusely because of patrolling the streets, and looked a little embarrassed, talking and laughing.

"I don't know how many girls in the civilian area are doing the stupid idea of a sparrow turning into a phoenix, and they are playing with it. An equally young policeman smacked his mouth and said with envy and jealousy.

"As long as it's not forced, it's not up to us. Dennis said lightly, turned his head, and prepared to leave, in fact, he knew in his heart that even if those people were forced, he would not be able to manage it, and in the end, most of the big things would turn into small things.

The group of policemen who were about to leave, but at this time saw that the line of nobles suddenly stopped, and a young nobleman who walked at the end raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the rear noble district.

The only son of Arcatio, the chancellor of the exchequer, who had just come down from his hospital bed, Aureliano happened to follow this road at this time and came out of the aristocratic quarter.

The poison that Aureliano took was actually specially prepared by William for Alcatio, William was not prepared to really kill Alcatio like this, in order to prevent accidents, he did not use a poison with a strong effect, so Aureliano was fully treated, and he was almost fine, at least enough for him to leave the hospital bed and sneak out to have fun and relieve his boredom.

Dennis was unaware of William's poisoning, and was amazed by Aureliano's prodigious vitality.

Didn't you say he was poisoned? How did he come here?

Alcatio is not particularly popular in the aristocratic district now, on the one hand, because he broke the tacit understanding between the nobles in the past few hundred years, that is, the unspoken rule similar to William's previous life of "not punishing the doctor", and "instructed" Chloe to arrest and persecute other nobles in the near future, and on the other hand, because he was dissatisfied with his reuse of two treacherous villains from low backgrounds in the eyes of other nobles, that is, Chloe and William. Alcatio sat idly by and watched the former persecute the nobles and push the latter to high positions, which disgusted the other nobles.

Dennis glanced at the group of noble children before him, and felt that the other party was not in the right mood, and guessed that it was likely that someone in the family had recently been "investigated" by Chloe.

Sure enough, I saw that the gang rushed to Aureliano, who had only three sturdy servants with him, and seemed lonely in comparison.

A group of gentlemen angrily beat Aureliano, scolding Aureliano and his father Arcatio as they did.

Aureliano was not to be outdone, a group of gentlemen knew what fighting skills, and even generally lacked exercise, three sturdy servants formed a group, protecting him behind him, he didn't take a few hits under the protection at all, and even stretched out his hand from time to time, angrily pointing at the group of people in front of him and shouting: "You, you...... I will definitely tell my father and ask him to send Chloe to throw your whole family in prison!"

He didn't say that it was okay, but as soon as he said that, the gentlemen were even more angry, and Dennis hurriedly rushed to the middle of the two groups with a few policemen, trying to separate them.

It's just that their number is too small, and except for Dennis, everyone else is from the civilian area or even the slum, and the values formed since childhood make them full of fear of the status of the nobility, and they are afraid that if they are not careful, they will hurt these gentlemen, so they seem to shrink their hands.

A young nobleman who died in prison after his uncle was captured by Chloe, was so angry that he took out a knife from his pocket.

Dennis caught a glimpse of his movements, frightened, and wanted to intercept it, but it was too late, and the knife was thrown directly by the young nobleman.

Hearing only a scream, most of the people in the chaos failed to pay attention to the hidden weapon, Aureliano clutched his shoulders, and blood was pouring out of it.

Aureliano, who was injured by this sudden situation, screamed, glanced blankly at the knife inserted in his arm, and then endured the pain, turned his head and ran towards the noble district behind him, shouting as he ran: "Murder!"

The two servants he brought hurriedly followed, and those noble children were naturally unwilling to give up, so they also chased after them, and Dennis and several subordinates looked at each other helplessly, sighing that they were unlucky, but they could only follow.

A group of more than 20 people chased and fought on the streets of the aristocratic district, which can be regarded as a rare spectacle, and a string in the heads of everyone in the aristocratic district has been tightened recently, so whenever there is any wind and grass, the news spreads quickly.

It didn't take long for the news to reach the ears of Home Secretary Reild, who frowned and paced his study in thought for a moment, and then shouted in exchange for the butler and the servant.

"Go, inform your lords, the high nobles of the Navia Kingdom have had enough of Alcatio's perverse behavior, the Buendia family has become a shouting in the noble district, it is time to eradicate this traitor, and the army is ready. ”

Reald took two more steps: "Bring the phone bug, I'm going to call Stolter." ”
