"The boy drove from here to see Boworths, sir. Maggs's butler stood by the door, and Maggs sat by the window looking at the book by the light outside.

It was a long time before he lowered his head, and his gaze shot out of the gap between his spectacles and his forehead, and shot into the butler's face. His forehead was wrinkled by this eye-raising action, and at the same time, the skin on both cheeks pulled upward, and he seemed to have a stern and mean feeling at this time, and his gaze was even more like a knife.

"You shouldn't be so rude, everyone has the right to choose, we can't force others to have to accept our ideas, it was like this before, and it is like this now!", Maggs raised his head after speaking, and his gentle eyes converged on the writing through the lenses. He flipped it over and changed his posture, "We have the right to choose, and so do others!

He closed his mouth, and the butler silently withdrew, carefully closing the door to the study.

Maggs took off his eyes and took a deep breath, looking out the window at the world full of green life, his gaze deep and distant.

It's just that he may not know that Doolin's meeting with Bowers did not go as smoothly as Kevin expected, or that in Bowers's opinion, Doolin did not have significant value.

Durin waited for more than twenty minutes before Bowers appeared in his sight with an expressionless face, and the old man did not apologize or greet him, but just asked Durin to pour a cup of flower tea. He sat directly on the sofa opposite Doolin and crossed his legs, "Mayor Doolin, my butler said that you want to see me, is there something important to tell me?"

This sentence is equivalent to driving people away in the process of socializing, if there is no important thing, you can't ask to see, then I am afraid that the world will be polarized, on the one hand, it is fine, and on the other hand, it is a big thing.

Bowers knew that Duhring's purpose was nothing more than to weigh himself and sell himself for a good price. If Durin hadn't gone to Maggs before, maybe Bowers would have been a little happier than he is now. But when he learned that the first place Durin went to was Maggs's house, it was difficult for him to have a good impression of Durin as a guy.

Magus has suppressed him for twelve years, and will continue to suppress him for four years, although strictly speaking, there is no contradiction between the two, but being a subordinate of a person for sixteen years and there is no room for resistance, no one will feel that this is a happy thing. Coupled with the fact that there are always some difficult ideas between Maggs and Bowworth, and Maggs's intention to push Harry to the throne, their relationship is worse than people think.

The reason why Boworth was originally chosen as the third person in the party, that is, the party whip, was that he was not from a noble background, nor did he come from a merchant family, but just an ordinary citizen of the empire. It's just that he was lucky, and climbed all the way to the position of assistant consul, and his own ability is also outstanding, and he had several encounters with Maggs at that time. He was one of the first members to join the new party, so he was needed to reconcile the contradictions between members of different backgrounds in the party.

It can be regarded as setting an example for those who are not aristocratic party members, and lo and behold, as long as you do well, you can also become one of the important members of the new party.

However, he has been sitting in this position for 16 years, and he has been sitting since he was 53 years old until now, and he is about to be 70 years old, and he has not even had the slightest light at the end of the day. If Bowers had been a mediocre man, he would have been happy with the situation and would have liked to continue, but he wasn't, so the conflict with Maggs was inevitable.

In his opinion, Duhrin was the least important part of Mangla's protest and the upcoming hearing, and the real battle had already begun, and from the moment the mayor of Mangala lodged his protest, he and Maggs began to fight out of sight. From the beginning to the end, it didn't have much to do with Durin, and even if he wanted to, there was no room for meddle.

Plus this guy went to Maggs first, so Bowworth didn't like him very well.

Fortunately, Durin prepared a ladder for himself, he picked up the suitcase in his hand, put it on the table and opened it, and took out two beautifully packaged gift boxes from it, "These are some specialties brought from my hometown, I hope you can like it." ”

"Specialties?", Bowers nodded noncommittally, he didn't like these specialties or anything else, and at this point, money and everything that was tied to money couldn't impress him. Only power is what he needs and wants the most, and if it can't bring direct benefits, no matter how good things are, they are some worthless garbage in his opinion.

He didn't like it, but he had a wife at home who liked all kinds of local specialties, so he didn't refuse, as he had done countless times before.

After receiving a gift, Bowworth's attitude finally improved a lot, he put down his cocked legs, went to a paradise and motioned to Durin to take one, and after Durin refused, he cut the seal of the paradise and put it in his mouth, "Okay, tell me what is the matter with you?"

"I would like to ask you a few things about the hearing......"

After ten minutes, Durin left Bowers's house, walked out of the heavily guarded road, and directly asked for a taxi back to the villa where Kevin lived, he loosened his tie and threw his coat worth more than 300 yuan directly on the sofa, revealing his back that had been soaked with sweat.

The weather was a little too hot, Kevin didn't go out at home, he was wearing a set of home T-shirts and beach pants, and a pair of sandals, and was lying on the sofa looking at the latest tape, the tape produced by Empire Star Media, and laughed from time to time by those third-rate funny plots.

"This is really interesting, who wrote the script? He's definitely a talent!", Kevin held a large glass of ice juice in his hand, and pieces of deformed ice cubes loomed in the juice. As if sensing Durin's gaze, Kevin instructed the maid to make a glass of ice juice for Doolin as well, and then sat up a little straighter, "How is it?

Durin nodded, sat down on the sofa, and breathed a sigh of relief. The sofa is made of whole cowhide, and it seems to be filled with some slightly icy ice water, and the anger in the body is almost dissipated after sitting on it in this hot summer. He sighed, "Bowers can't beat Maggs, and the next leader will definitely be Harry." In the middle of speaking, he took from the maid's hand a huge cup of at least one liter, and the juices of various tropical fruits and ice cubes were inextricably mixed together, and he had to shout out when he took a sip.

Kevin was very curious, he sat cross-legged on the couch, faced Dürin, and asked, "How can you be sure of this? Maybe Boworth will be able to beat Maggs?"

Du Lin shook his head and said, "Actually, it's very simple, you can distinguish their minds and courage from the attitude of two people. Let me start with Bowers, he was too careful, he was testing me all the time, he was pretending to be impatient and didn't like the way I looked, just wondering if I was trying to trick him. Such a person can keep it, but it is difficult to make progress. ”

This was what During knew about Bowers, and from the minutes after meeting Bowers, he realized that all of Bowers' performances were actually an illusion. He was testing his true purpose for meeting him, and needless to say, he must have suspected that he had colluded with Maggs to try to trick him, so he acted like that.

The biggest difference between him and Maggs is that he is too careful, while Maggs is confident.

The completely different performances of the two people represent the inner attitudes of the two at this time, one is questioning, and the other is resolutely affirming. Although self-confidence does not necessarily mean that he will succeed in many cases, the person who succeeds must be confident.

And Mags has a broad view of the big picture, if such a person can be brought down by Bowworth, it can only be said that Bowers is hiding too deeply.

After Doolin's continuous explanation, Kevin finally understood, and he shrugged his shoulders indifferently, "It's okay for you to decide for yourself, if you need my help, just ask, after all, you've already paid, haven't you?"

"Oh yes, I almost forgot, there's something I have to tell you, and you're going to love it!", Kevin smiled cheerfully or cheaply, "The DreamWorks case is officially over today, they confiscated all the property of the people involved, and I believe that many shareholders will thank your nouveau riche friend who is mining, his mine is still worth a little money, and he has made up about eight million or so to compensate the defrauded shareholders." ”

"It's a shame that those stockholders staged an unexpected riot in the courtroom when you went to visit Maggs and Bowworths, and you didn't see it with your own eyes......"

Any case that rises to the national level can never be concluded in a very short time, and there are many things that need to be carried out after the case is superficially closed, which is a very complex process of verification and amendment. It wasn't until today, almost seven or eight months later, that the case finally came to an end.

Then another question was extended, only one-tenth of the amount was "recovered", who should be compensated?

So the judge in the court read out the compensation plan given by the Ministry of Justice, which immediately caused a riot in the courtroom, and they planned to pay the money to those families who were in difficulty and needed money urgently. As for the other part...... Wait until the rest of the money is recovered.

This would have been a good way to deal with it, but there was a small problem here.
