Chapter 1210: Clever Snatching
Thomas hurried out of the Houses of Parliament with a long bag, got into the carriage that was already waiting on the side of the road, and told the coachman who was looking back: "Go home, hurry." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
As a member of Parliament, Thomas is a gambler who owes a huge amount of debt outside, and his creditors offer him either to get the Victorian Council scepter to pay off his debts, or to expose his scandals and ruin his reputation.
Thomas chose the former, and after careful planning, Thomas finally seized the opportunity to steal the Victorian Council Staff from the Parliament building.
The carriage galloped all the way back to the ruined castle of the Thomas family, Thomas hurried into his bedroom with the long bag, bolted the door, lifted a wooden plank on the floor that had already been warped, carefully put the long bag in his hand into the dark compartment under the plank, and pulled out the hammer and nails that had been prepared from under the bed, ready to nail the plank again.
Thomas's creditor is a guy that Thomas absolutely can't mess with, and when dealing with such a guy, Thomas still has a little more attention, first hiding the scepter of the Victorian Council, and then negotiating terms with that guy......
Thomas pressed the nail to the plank, and just raised the hammer in his hand, when a mocking London accent rang out in the room: "Don't nail it, this thing doesn't belong to you, give it to me for safekeeping." ”
Thomas shuddered with fright, and the hammer in his hand fell and smashed into his hand, and Thomas let out a heart-rending scream.
While screaming, Thomas also saw the young man standing in his bedroom, and this young man was naturally Tang Dou who had crossed over.
"Who are you, and how did you get to my room?" Thomas asked, holding his injured hand, looking at Tang Dou in horror.
Tang Dou smiled slightly: "You don't know who I said it, give me the scepter of the Council of Victoria, and I will disappear immediately." ”
"What? What Victorian Council scepter, I don't know what you're talking about. Thomas took a panicked step forward and stepped on the plank.
Tang Dou smiled and shook his head: "I'm busy, I don't have time to play hide and seek with you." ”
Thomas endured the sharp pain in his hand: "Who are you?" Who are you? …… Yes? …… Come on...... Help......"
Thomas suddenly found himself flying slowly, and instantly screamed in fright.
Thomas watched as the wooden plank that had just been covered by him under his feet slowly flew up, and the long bag containing the scepter of the Council of Victoria, which he had just hidden in the dark compartment, floated out of it and flew into Tang Dou's hand.
Tang Dou took the long bag, unhurriedly untied the leather strip tied to the long bag, reached out and took out the jewel-encrusted Victorian Council scepter from it, glanced at it, smiled slightly, and said thank you to Thomas, and then Tang Dou disappeared into the room without warning.
Out of control, Thomas slammed to the floor and exclaimed, "Come on, there's a thief." ”
It was not until this moment that the maid who had been wiping the corridor at the door of Thomas's bedroom heard Thomas's shout, and the maid hurriedly grabbed a broom and rushed into Thomas's room, but in the room with the doors and windows closed, except for Thomas, who was sitting on the floor and yelling and his face was pale, there was no 'thief'.
The maid used a broom to look for thieves in the cabinet under the bed, and at this time, a manservant led a man in a suit and hat into the room, and both of them were stunned when they saw the situation in the room, and the manservant hurriedly walked to Thomas on the floor and whispered, "Mr. Thomas, Mr. Richard is here." ”
Richard ...... Richard?! A frightened Thomas repeated Richard's name and suddenly jumped up from the floor like a dog biting his ass.
Richard was Thomas's biggest creditor, and it was he who was forced by Richard to steal the Victorian Council Staff from the Houses of Parliament.
Now the scepter of the Council of Victoria has been snatched away by that mysterious man, and Richard has come at this time, and Thomas even has the heart to die.
Richard looked at the panicked Thomas in front of him with disdain and asked, "Mr. Thomas, I just came here today to ask you, how is the matter I entrusted you to do?" ”
Thomas pointed to the dark grid on the floor under his feet in a panic, and said incoherently: "Just now, I put the council scepter here, and suddenly an oriental man came, he snatched the council scepter from my hand, he, he also made me fly......"
Hearing such a sensitive word as the council scepter, the male and female servants in the room were stunned.
Richard turned his face into Thomas and said, "What council scepter are you talking about?" I don't understand, you just need to tell me if what I entrusted you with has been done. ”
"I've done it, I've stolen the Victorian Council Scepter back, I put it here just now, and it was the magician Oriental who rushed in and snatched the scepter. Mr. Richard, I really didn't lie to you, I really have stolen Queen Victoria's parliamentary scepter back. ”
The maid with the broom on the side shook her head slightly, and when she came back from Thomas and entered the bedroom, she had been wiping down the furniture in the corridor outside the bedroom door, and she had seen any Oriental people rushing into Thomas's bedroom.
Richard frowned and glanced at the floor at Thomas's feet, shook his head slightly, looked at the manservant who led him in, and said: "Mr. Thomas is crazy, I don't know what he is talking about, what Victorian Council scepter, what Oriental, I just entrusted him to find a good horse doctor for my horse, forget it, you don't need his help in this matter, you can quickly get a doctor for Mr. Thomas." By the way, Mr. Thomas, I am now giving you official notice that I will bring someone to collect your castle within a week, and you will receive the official paperwork at that time. ”
With that, Richard took off his top hat and bowed to Thomas slightly, turned and strode towards the door, he didn't want to have anything to do with the disappearance of the scepter of the Victorian Council, as for what Thomas said, he didn't believe a word at all.
When Thomas saw that Richard was leaving, he hurriedly jumped up in a panic and hugged Richard's thigh, shouting frantically: "Mr. Richard, listen to me, what I said is true, I really stole the Victorian Council scepter from the council according to your orders, it was the Oriental who knew magic, it was the Oriental who snatched the scepter from my hand, and he also made me fly......"
At this point, Thomas looked like a real madman.
No normal person would believe what a madman says.
In this way, the scepter of the Council of Victoria was taken away by Tang Dou from Thomas, and Thomas was really crazy, so he also escaped the punishment of British law, but when people later saw the once beautiful and now homeless Thomas under the London Bridge, they did not have a trace of pity in their hearts.
