0257 The faces of soldiers and aristocrats

The confinement room is very dark and dirty, and it is intended to be a place for the security department to enforce military discipline, and it is designed to eliminate the windows that are bright and transparent, and the necessary living equipment is canceled, and naturally there will be no frequent cleaning.

From the very beginning of the planning, this small dark room of less than 10 square meters has been privileged, and there is no need to think about human rights issues, and in normal times, no visitors will think about human rights here.

But at least today, it should really think about it. Because today's visitors are not good, the purpose of coming here is to provoke, with a critical mentality, without the slightest awe and fear.

Dirty businessmen.

Amani clicked open the padlock, and the heavy iron door creaked as the sunlight slowly squeezed open.

The sunlight poured into the house, wisps and layers, roaring up the floating dust all over the house, illuminating a half-hundred-year-old man with a pale face and a scruffy beard.

The old man was wearing a beautiful tuxedo, sitting on his back on the ground, and when he saw the iron door pushed open, his cloudy eyes turned half a circle.

"Lunch? Or afternoon tea? ”

The hoarse, barely alive voice reached the outside, and Orves, who was following Lorraine, was furious.

"It's a crime! If you torture a gentleman without any judgment, even God will not forgive you for your diabolical deeds! ”

Captain Amani coughed weakly.

"I really don't understand what you're talking about, sir. Yesterday the security department caught Mr. Leonard who had trespassed the trespass, at 11 o'clock at night, for which we specially prepared a supper and wine. This morning, we prepared coffee, breakfast and morning tea for my husband, and in another half an hour there should be lunch. ”

He spread his hands innocently.

"Look, we didn't let my husband miss the meal at all. As for beatings, injuries, or whatever, you can check it yourself, and I guarantee that no one has violated his personal safety. ”

"Really?" Olvis looked puzzled, "Then why...... Why ......"

"Mr. Leonard has committed a felony after all, and I think that mental breakdown is probably God's punishment for him."

"That's a good point, Mr. Captain."

Before Amani could finish speaking, Lorraine's laughter rang out.

For as long as the heart is guilty, God will come to the dark room. God is so nimble that he really can't understand why there are still people in this world who insist on troublesome laws. ”

Lorraine's teasing made Amani vaguely feel that something was wrong.

He is not a cool official in charge of prisons, he is a bright and upright person, and his mind is not called smart.

Like most people of this era, his definition of torture was limited to hunger, thirst, pain, pain, humiliation and intimidation, and so was Olvis, completely unaware of the devastating effects of psychological and spiritual oppression.

So he was telling the truth, he or the Navy didn't take the initiative to torture Leonard, but Leonard was tortured, and it was all because of the tenacity and strength of the perennial boat, so he didn't collapse.

On this point, Amani is as curious as Alves.

Lorraine obviously knew something, maybe it was a curse, maybe it was a lynching, and this asymmetry of information made Amani's heart beat a drum in his heart, and he lost his original composure when he stood there.

However, Lorraine didn't want to say anything, just glanced at him coldly, and walked into the door of the confinement chamber with her feet raised.

"Vice President Leonard."

"Ship...... Chairman? Leonard's cloudy eyes were sober, and his body slipped to stand up, but because he had sat for too long, he could only barely stand cross-legged.

"Vice President, has the Glorious Navy tortured you?"

That's the first question. Claustrophobia can be psychologically fragile, and if torture is added, an elderly man like Leonard, who has not been specially trained, is likely to confess.

"No, chairman, since last night, except for food delivery, this iron door will not open at all, and not even a sound can be heard."

"That's a problem with volcanic rock, at least I hope it's volcanic rock, not someone deliberately trying to make a gentleman lose his composure and calm."

Lorraine spoke to Amani in a tone of denunciation, and Amani subconsciously proved his innocence.

"Nope! We will never do anything to ruin the reputation of a gentleman until we are finally convicted! ”

"I estimate and trust you." Lorraine stood by the door to block out the glare of the sun, "Vice President, why did the Navy arrest you when even Captain Amani said you were not convicted?" ”

"I don't know, Chairman!" Leonard struggled to keep his composure, "Last night I went to visit Director Raymond in the Division's office, and while I was having a pleasant conversation in his single quarters, a group of sailors shouting for rounds pushed open the door, and then pulled me and a dozen other men and women into the security office with a talk to themselves. After more than an hour, the Captain Amani came over with some guards, and only then did I get here, and no one told me what I had done wrong! ”

"Mere talk? Don't have any sensitive information? ”

"No, we're talking about a Frankish laurel wreath that I stumbled upon in Kingston, and now even the gold object is missing!" century

"Captain Amani! Private property is sacrosanct, this is the right given to every Englishman by Magna Carta! ”

Amani gritted his teeth: "That gold object, we will find out!" ”

"It's not necessarily just a gold thing, is it? Yesterday's unpleasantness happened in the dormitory of Secretary Raymond, who is a friend of the vice president......"

"He's already gone to work! Yesterday's rounds only involved illegal intruders and officers below the rank of colonel, and the chief of the department has a reputation in the base, and the security department does not dare and will not make a mistake against him! ”

"I've finally heard a sane message."

Lorraine waved her hand gently.

"Dignity, Captain, that's what I want to say. My Vice-President is a celebrity in Kingston's high society and has had dinner with Sir Parker on more than one occasion. I don't expect your Admiral to be open, but at least until the trial is over, Mr. Leonard should have soft chairs and beds, desks and bars, warm water and maids, and a bright ......"

"There are no maids, this is a naval base! But I can negotiate with others. ”

"I'll wait." Lorraine looked at Amani, "The meeting can be over." Vice-President, I'm going to meet with the Admiral here, and although you have endured a lot, please bear with me for a while, and it will be good for a while......."

……

After a while, Lorraine, who was in a good voice, saw Shaq with an umbrella sword.

He was already completely sure about Leonard, and not many people in the Royal Navy dockyard agreed with last night's commotion, and this disagreement was so pervasive in everyone's mind that even the guards neglected their duties and did not even check out the parachute sword.

Of course, Lorraine wasn't here to assassinate Shaq.

Entering the reception room, Lorraine leaned her umbrella sword against the edge of the coat rack, took off her top hat and hung it upright.

The door was duly shut, leaving only the two Drake brothers staring at each other from a distance, separated by a vast ocean.

"I heard you've learned to be arrogant, Lorraine."

"With a good teacher, students will always learn things faster, Mr. Major General."

Shaq didn't show any expression on his face, and he didn't have the slightest intention of reacting to Lorraine's provocation.

Lorraine decided to switch from defense to offense.

"Yesterday it was suddenly decided to clean up discipline, and a dozen gentlemen and ladies were detained that night for trespassing. Mr. Major General, you are really as domineering as ever. ”

"The purpose of the purge is to correct the style of the detachment. As for Bermuda's social circles, I had greeted the Governor in advance, so he had pledged to leave most of them last night, except for your vice-president. As an outsider, even the Governor was reluctant to risk his reputation. ”

"That's because a certain admiral has inappropriately made my vice-president special." Lorraine retorted unceremoniously, "To make a long story short, the Drake Chamber of Commerce expects your fleet to provide sufficient evidence, otherwise, my lawyers' corps in Kingston do not rule out the right to appeal to Sir Parker." ”

"Peter. Parker's authority does not shine on Bermuda, and judging by the tradition of mutual respect, he will not lightly hand at his nominal vice-finger. Shaq stood by the window for a long time, "If you want to make a career in aristocratic circles, you should have understood these conventions earlier. ”

"Really? And what about Plymouth? Although it took a little longer, I also had a group of lawyers there who lived a quiet life. ”

"Admiralty......," Shaq thought for a moment, "it will cause me a little trouble, but the decision will still be in my hands." How is it? Do you still have a third team of lawyers in London? ”

It suddenly occurred to Lorraine that assassination wasn't necessarily a bad idea......

He tilted his head and took control of the details of his facial features: "If my important vice president can't be freed today, London will soon have a third team of lawyers from the Drake Chamber of Commerce." ”

"That is, not today."

Shaq's voice was still calm, but the domineering smell could no longer be hidden.

"Drake is a nobleman, my stupid brother, a real nobleman. You have to understand this authority, because even if you succeed in doing a lowly job like a businessman, a lowly job is still a lowly job. ”

"In the face of true authority, the pound does not turn into a portrait minted on a gold coin, nor does it bring you more power. These days, you think a little too highly of yourself. ”

People are under the eaves!

Lorraine clenched his fists sharply: "Thank you, Your Excellency Baron Tavistock, can I take my people with me?" ”

Shaq shook his head lazily.

"I don't know the so-called self-esteem, just like the hero who doesn't know the so-called shining name, Le FranΓ§ois."

He turned his head and pulled back the curtains.

"Go, good people who teach you, and from today onwards, please let the soldiers return to the appearance of soldiers."

"Yes, Your Excellency."
