Chapter 160: A New Plan
At dinner, Lady Vivien stretched her neck and took a bite of whole wheat bread dipped in thick soup, her appetite was a little shallow lately, and Lady Vivien, who was pregnant for the first time, even found two women of her age who looked slightly more comfortable from the slum to take care of her daily life. Compared to those Guarte women who have to give birth to three or five or more children in their lifetime, she doesn't know how to be an expectant mother at all.
Changing the diet is one of them, the children of the Guarts rarely die in the first few years of birth, on the contrary, the rich and powerful often hear about the death of children, in order to protect the children in the womb, Madame Vivien decided to modify everything according to the Guarte diet, as far as possible to avoid those foods that are too delicate and delicate.
I have to say that the whole wheat bread is not very tasty even if it is dipped in a fragrant soup, she only ate a small slice and felt that she did not have the desire to eat a second slice, glanced at the vegetable salad in the bowl, and suddenly felt like she was cocooned and bound. She had never eaten such bad food, and the salads used to be made of all sorts of fine fruits, and the bowls had never been so covered with vegetable leaves and a sweet sauce that was almost invisible.
"Are you at odds with your little lover?", Lady Vivien picked up the napkin and dipped her lips and looked at Peter, who was sitting across from her, "Or did you find another little girl? Sometimes I think you are my father's child, because you have similar hobbies!", she was referring to the fact that both men liked young girls, and of course she could understand this feeling, after all, she had done the same thing before.
Peter put down the poured tea, licked the juice splashed on the corner of his mouth, swallowed the food in his mouth, and took a sip of red wine before saying, "Ernst is too deep, he is not only smuggling illicit wine, but also smuggling grimace mushrooms and narcotics." Do you know why there is always a shortage of narcotics in the hospitals in our city?The missing quotas are in his hands!", Peter picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth, and threw it aside, "The state notice has come down, and the Contraband Investigation Bureau in Turner City will have to be established in a week at the latest, and the main staff will all come from other places, and I will have to make some preparations, at least not to let the outside guests see the dirty things in the house that are not suitable for them to see." ”
At this point, the mayor and Vivien knew that without the mayor's protection, the first person to deal with Ernst was Karul. Durin's farm and trading company are all destroyed, and soon there will be people from the Contraband Investigation Bureau stationed at the station, and even if he comes out, he will no longer be able to smuggle alcohol through steam locomotives as openly as before, and his business is over!
Remove Durin and then Ernst, and the entire smuggling market in Turner City will be controlled by Karol alone. More profit is enough to drive this old thing crazy, he doesn't have much to do with the mayor like Ernst, and he can be a bargaining chip between the inherent old forces and the Contraband Investigation Bureau if necessary. Of course, before he had to do this, the mayor would still escort Karol a little, and some of the windfall profits he made belonged to the old party.
"I've heard you've been around a lot behind Queen Street lately, is there anything interesting there?"
Lady Vivien was a little interested, and Peter was very good at finding topics, and for some time now, Lady Vivien had been active around the slums, and she was calling on more women to be self-reliant by donating clothes and food to the poor. In the process of becoming a feminist fighter during this time, Mrs. Vivien keenly discovered that women who are really willing to join the feminist movement either have nothing or have a high status.
The former fights for their own interests and for the future, while the latter is full of nothing interesting to do, just looking for something to do. So she put the main scope of development in the slums, I have to say that her senses are very keen and bright, the feminist movement has only developed for more than 30 days today, and has developed more than 50 feminist activists.
Some of them are Ogding, a small number of provincial Ya and a very small number of Gualts, who make up only three per cent of the population. But even though there were not many of them, Mrs. Vivien was very happy, which meant that the women of Turner City were finally unwilling to be at the mercy of the men and stood up bravely. For this reason, the initiators of the feminist movement in the capital and the general association also sent a congratulatory letter stating that Mrs. Vivien was unanimously approved by the general meeting as the branch president of the Feminist Games in Turnaire City.
For the first time, Lady Vivien was recognized by more people for her efforts, and she also took the first step in pursuing her ideals, she had never been so full of fighting spirit and emotions as she is now, and she had to read the letter of the general meeting several times before going to bed every night to be able to sleep peacefully.
The corners of her mouth curled slightly, she nodded and then stood up, and said with a smile when she turned around: "I think the priest is right, only selfless dedication can make people feel happy and cleanse the dirt in the soul!"
The mayor was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud, "This is the funniest joke I've heard this year." ”
The aristocracy understands the church just as the church understands the aristocracy, there is almost nothing to hide from each other and a place to hide, and the two sides have been fighting for hundreds of years, and they have long seen through their opponents. If an ordinary person said this, the mayor would absolutely believe it, but Lady Vivien, a descendant of the nobility, would also say so, and he would find it funny.
The mayor laughed heartily, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he smiled, and the sense of relief that he had done before flooded into his body. After more than a month of busyness, the damn tax investigator finally left Turnaire with a black face, and some restless forces in the city were swept away. Although he had to fight the newly established Contraband Investigation Bureau, he was not frustrated or discouraged, but was as full of fighting spirit as Lady Vivien.
He didn't know what it meant to have fun fighting people, but he knew that there was an old proverb in the Empire that an apple stolen from an enemy would always taste better than what he had grown!
Ernst disappeared overnight, the Flame Skull began its outward expansion for the first time in recent years, and the newly established Contraband Investigation Bureau was inaugurated on such a date. None of these things seemed to have much to do with Durin, who was chatting with Seun.
Xiuen changed his scruffy image from the past, and he was extra energetic, he wore a crisp suit, and the wax on his hair made his hair look like a wig. He sat on the other side of the table, his hands on the table, pursed his lips but couldn't stop the smile on his face.
"If you're here to laugh at me, then you can laugh to your heart's content. Dulin lit a cigarette, and the smoke came from Xiun.
Xiuen waved his hand, "I'm not here to laugh at you, I just want your blessings and congratulations." I am now the first director of the Contraband Investigation Bureau in the Tennell Region!", he grinned no further, he never thought that such a position would fall on him, until he sank his face into a basin filled with cold water, and realized that it was all true.
His old boss sent him a letter recommending him as the first director of the Contraband Investigation Bureau in the Tennell area, and the governor immediately gave Xiun a notice of his appointment, and he was now the director of the bureau, with great authority in his hands.
Du Lin was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Congratulations, I also found out that you are not here to laugh at me, you are here to hurt me." Don't you know what I do?"
Xiuen smiled and said, "Of course I know, and that's what I'm here to see you." ”
Xiun had a plan, and all the previous plans were nullified, and he now had a completely new plan with a high success rate. He hoped that Dohrin would continue to smuggle bootlegging, and he would give Dohrin the green light, and at the same time would try to suppress Karul as much as possible, completely erasing him from the Turnaire area, and making Dohrin the only moonshiner here. He didn't do it because he was depraved, or because he was friends with Doolin, but because his real purpose was the huge profit that Doolin had made from smuggling moonshine.
To put it bluntly, it's money.
This money is not for him, but for the old party, once Turnier's rampant smuggling industry is reshuffled, the old party that wants to continue to suck blood from the underground world to the center of the empire will have to change partners. As long as they cooperate with Durin, they will definitely leave some evidence and flaws, and when the time comes, Doolin only needs to come up with relevant evidence, and Xiun will be sure enough to completely clean the officialdom of Turner City.
With such feats, it is no longer difficult to return to the old post.
As for how Durin will deal with it in the end, Xiun also has a full consideration, he will send his plan to the governor, and if the plan succeeds in the future, Durin will not have any losses, of course, some of his illegal gains and moonshine can no longer be done. But by that time, he had already saved a lot of money, enough for him to squander most of his life, and even if he didn't work, he could spend his life comfortably.
This is his last gift to the only "friend" he has made friends with in Turnaire City!
Well, that's the plan for Thuen.
"You can think about it, it's not too late to answer me when you come out of it!", said Xiun as he was about to stand up, he had accomplished all his purpose for the day. It doesn't matter if Durin doesn't agree, with his current status, there will be many people vying for approval.
The moment he stood up, Durin nodded, "I agree!"
