"Tell me, what's the catch?"

It was approaching evening, but the afterglow of the sun did not give the room any brightness.

Two torches were erected around the room, swaying, as if everyone was in the mood, tired and worried.

As the leader, there was no trace of exhaustion on Jack's face, it was still the stereotype of everyone, who seemed to be sure of everything, and didn't care about everyone's current predicament.

The whole person sat on the chair, motionless like a mountain, like a statue, so that everyone's turbulent minds instantly calmed down, even the leader is not worried, what are you worried about a little soldier? What the.

"Chief, when you came back just now, I had already discussed it and came up with a few clues!"

As Jack's friend, Payne was small in size, but he was clever and sleek, so he stood up, looked at the young leader in front of him, lowered his head slightly, and whispered.

"First, Circuit Judge Felton. His Excellency John currently owns two villas, three shops in Oxford City, and a small estate of over a hundred acres in the suburbs! The total value reached about fifteen hundred pounds, and the fortune multiplied tenfold in three years! In this regard, people have a lot of discussions about this, and their dissatisfaction is overflowing! ”

"Secondly, the wife of His Excellency the Judge is of a commoner origin, and she usually goes shopping, and enjoys herself at home, and he has a son and a daughter, the male is ten years old, and the female is six years old, all of whom are very clever and clever!

But, according to our careful investigation, the Lord Judge also had a beautiful mistress in Oxford, and had a one-year-old boy! ”

"Third, Your Excellency this judge usually behaves quite well, and his prestige is very high for his subordinates and servants and Yan Ruise!

Although everyone was surprised that he had so much property, there was no dissatisfaction, and even envy! ”

"Fourth, we have established that he has interests in collusion with local gentlemen, as long as we investigate in one direction, we will definitely gain something!"

Payne's gaze was indifferent, without a trace of hesitation, and his tone was not hurried, and he spoke fluently in his authentic London accent.

The others also focused their eyes on him, even though they already knew the situation, but they still listened with their ears pricked up and listened attentively, without blinking an eyelid.

Among them, the last sentence of the proposal is also what they want to say, and at the moment it can only be Chafeltun. John is guilty of embezzlement, although at most he is removed from office and brings a little compensation, but he can be regarded as completing a task.

So, the eyes of the crowd turned again to the young leader, who had his eyes closed and thoughtful, expecting his orders.

"Yes! Well done, that's a good piece of information, you're doing a great job! ”

Jack noticed the attention of everyone, and felt a little amused, but unexpectedly smiled, and praised them without saltiness.

In this regard, the corners of everyone's mouths turned up slightly, and it is very rare to be able to find out so much information in such a short period of time.

Besides, it is very rare to be praised by Jack in the Iron Mask.

"As you have heard, let's proceed with Judge Felton's charge of embezzlement! Knock down a few minions by the way! ”

Jack seemed to have lost his old desire to struggle, and agreed with it, and everyone was surprised to find that the young leader showed a decadent expression for the first time, and their hearts could not stop being amazed.

It was surprising that this young adult, who had been known for his exuberance for months, had a rare look of decadence this time.

"Could it be that this adult has discovered a new difficulty, a difficulty that we cannot overcome, and chooses to give up?"

At this moment, the same thought surged through everyone's minds.

In this regard, everyone had different thoughts in their hearts, with a sympathetic expression on their faces, and when they saw Jack's straight back, they only felt full of despair and distraction.

Just as everyone was about to leave the room, leaving the young adult alone to face the setback, his deep voice rang in their ears.

"Payne, Pym, you two stay!"

The eyes of the two who were about to leave showed some doubt, and they really didn't know what the leader was looking for him.

The others paused and walked away quickly, the rest of which was none of their business.

"Tell me, both of you, why do these squires bribe this judge, and how much do they have to offer?"

Jack changed his previous decadent appearance, looked into the eyes of the two of them with a radiant look, and asked directly.

"This, we don't know much about Oxford, I'm afraid we don't know very well!"

Payne touched his head and said embarrassedly.

"This must be a huge benefit, and the consequences are serious, otherwise they wouldn't have spent so much money bribing this civilian judge!"

The old Doum blinked, looked into Jack's eyes and said.

"Nonsense—" Payne had a look of agreement on his face, but he was dismissive in his heart.

Jack, on the other hand, looked approving.

"Yes, it's a great web of interests!"

"We only need to investigate which major families have grown rapidly in recent years, and they are our targets!"

Jack nodded, showed a hint of a smile, and reasoned directly.

"The Matthew family—" Pym and Payne said in unison, and then they looked at each other, and then at the same time, and then laughed.

As a family that has expanded rapidly in recent years, the Matthew family has always been the object of people's mouths, and envy, jealousy and hatred have always accompanied this name.

Parker. Matthew is our number one target at the moment, and the others are going to investigate Felton. John went, and the three of us were focused on this Sir Matthew! ”

Jack looked at the two of them with blazing eyes and said categorically.

"Are you suspicious?" Payne asked softly.

"Don't think so much about it now, we just need to complete our mission, and we'll talk about it later!"

Instead of rejecting Payne's words, Jack said something meaningful, which had to make Payne and Pym start to think about it.

"Alright, you guys prepare, tomorrow we'll get started, remember, don't tell anyone, not even our companions!"

"Yes, sir!" Pym and Payne's hearts sank, and they assured seriously.

The two of them left the room with some heavy thoughts, and exited the door, only then did Pym realize that this was his own room, and he didn't know what to do when he stayed at the door.

Jack, who was sitting in the chair, also realized that this was not his room, so he could only walk out of the room with an embarrassed face, as if nothing had happened.
