Chapter 349: Dumb Girl?
The middle-aged woman who was also wearing a gray skirt was the same Congressman Kelly that Yan Feng had also seen at the beginning, and now she has become the governor of Tianyuan State.
Kelly ...... No, Governor Kelly, it's been a long time, but I'm doing well here, but what about you, are you forcing yourself to work overtime? Washington stood up and held out his hand, with a happy smile on his face after a long absence.
After holding Washington's hand, Governor Kelly smiled, "You are still so lenient, don't worry, with the help of Tina, the secretary and the staff team, it is much easier than when I was a congressman before." ”
At this time, Fletcher also learned the identity of the middle-aged woman under the introduction of the three little beavers, and hurriedly hugged William and O'Bannon, who were still sleeping, and stood up and saluted Governor Kelly with the three little beavers.
"No need to be polite, you can do it yourself, I'll take you back early today after I've finished the final work." Governor Kelly said as she went to her desk and sat down and began to work on her own business.
Fletcher, who was a little uncomfortable with Kelly's resolute behavior, was stunned for a moment, but fortunately, the three little beavers had become accustomed to her style of behavior after seeing this aunt many times, and pulled their eldest sister to explain in a whisper.
"It's a rare thing, it's been a long time since I heard my mother plan to leave work early, and last time I went to visit the sick Speaker Wilson." Tina sighed when she heard her mother's words.
Washington's heart tightened when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with Speaker Wilson?" ”
For this venerable old man who has dedicated his life to the pastoral state, Washington does not want to hear any bad news from Tina's mouth.
Fortunately, Tina replied with a smile, "It's nothing, it's just that he's old and working too long, so his body can't hold it up, and after a good recuperation, it's basically better, but the doctor said that he can't work as long as before." ”
Washington breathed a sigh of relief, "That's also true, Speaker Wilson's age really shouldn't be that kind of high-intensity work, we have reminded him many times before, but ......"
"Hehe, he's that kind of person, if you don't let him work, he'll get angry, but after coming back from his illness this time, he finally started to train a successor, and recently he has divided a large part of his work to other councillors, although in the end it will be up to him to make the decision." Tina shook her head helplessly as she thought of Speaker Wilson's style of acting.
After more than half an hour, Governor Kelly, who was concentrating on official business, finally finished the work at hand.
After asking Washington what he meant, she first took her daughter and the ship's wives to the state legislature to visit the old speaker.
Speaker Wilson was also very happy to see Washington, and he still remembered the help that Yan Feng and his shipwives had provided to the pastoral state.
The speaker, who is old and has a wide range of news channels, also knows the identity of Yan Feng's alternate supervisor, and sighs that the admiral who was not good-looking at the beginning is actually a big man, and he has lost his eyes.
"By the way, Kelly, did you tell them about that?" When Washington and the others were about to say goodbye and leave, the Speaker suddenly spoke and asked Kelly.
"Not yet, I'm going to tell her when I get back."
Looking at the two of them playing dumb riddles, Washington asked Tina, who was beside him, "What's going on, is there anything I should know?" ”
But apparently Tina was also confused, "I don't know, I haven't heard my mother mention it." ”
With doubts in his mind, Washington took the awakened William and followed the Kelly mother and daughter back to their familiar mansion.
After instructing the servants to prepare the dinner, Kelly asked her daughter to accompany Fletcher and the others to visit the house, and she took her to the study.
"So, Kelly, do you have anything to tell me?" Washington also guessed something when he saw Kelly's posture, and immediately asked solemnly after coming to the study and sitting down.
Kelly looked at Washington's expression and obviously knew what she thought, "I think you have guessed something, it is indeed about the information about the ownerless ship girl, you did say before you left last time that your town guard mansion is looking for the scattered ship girls, right?" ”
"Sure enough...... It's true that our town guard is looking for our sisters, Kelly, what information did you get? Washington sat up straight and asked her.
"Don't get excited." Seeing that Washington was about to stand up, Kelly first reassured her, "To be precise, I didn't get the news, but the Speaker heard it with his huge network, but it hasn't been confirmed yet, so I haven't had time to report it to the Governor's Palace." ”
"The Speaker heard from his old friend who was a legislator in Mitri next door that something strange had happened in their state recently." Kelly took a sip of tea and moistened her throat before continuing.
"We've been tracking the remnants of the Ku Klux Klan for a long time, and recently a group of remnants entered the city of Swift in southern Mitri and immediately clashed with local people of color because of their extreme racist ideas."
"The congressman also gloated in his letter complaining that they seemed to have kicked an iron plate when they were about to bully a yellow clerk in a small restaurant, and were thrown out by the boss of the other party.
Washington's ears moved when he heard this, I'm afraid it's difficult for ordinary people to have such a strong combat power in the face of a group of big men, right?
Seeing Washington's face, Kelly smiled slightly, "I'm afraid you think this is the end of the matter, right?" However, this is not the case, and after that, the remnants of the 3K Party still did not give up, and planned to make trouble while the boss was out to buy materials, but in the end they were beaten out again by another dumb-looking clerk. ”
"After that, they finally got honest, knowing that they had provoked someone who couldn't be messed with, and they were about to leave Swift City with their tails between their legs, but they were hit by the angry boss, and more than 60 people were all lying on the ground, and the police who went to clean up the mess afterwards were also very surprised, and there were a lot of white men shouting pain on the ground, and only a delicate woman stood in the middle."
Washington was surprised and asked, "No one has ever doubted their identity in such a strange situation?" ”
"Of course there is, but the woman said that she and her clerk had practiced Chinese martial arts, and they couldn't have forced them to ask if they hadn't committed any crimes, right? And the people who were beaten by her basically did not suffer any injuries, and they returned to normal after less than half a day in the hospital. Kelly replied after hearing Washington's words.
Later, Washington got a follow-up on the matter from Kelly, and the remnants of the Ku Klux Klan were all taken down by the governor of Mitry, who was finding no excuse to clean up them, and once again erected a typical negative image of the Ku Klux Klan across the country.
The 3 Klux Klan, which already has a bad reputation, is even more notorious now, and I heard that some bigwigs in DC have fallen several cups because of this incident.
And the small restaurant is also famous because of this incident, but the boss seems to be afraid of trouble, and after handing over the business of the store to one of his deputies, he hid with the two clerks who caused the trouble.
"It's because she's hiding that we can't be sure of her identity, but according to information from Mitri State, it seems that she still lives in the city, but it's hard to track her tracks."
After hearing this, Washington touched his chin and thought about it, according to Kelly, it seems that this ship lady and her stupid clerk should be ship girls, although the other party will not admit it, and now he is hiding and can't find anyone, but people with a little common sense probably thought of it.
However, Washington was not sure whether the other party was a wild shipwreck or a shipwreck who had been separated from her own house, so she looked up and asked Kelly, "Do you have any more specific characteristics about that boss and the two clerks?" For example, what does it look like and what is its personality? ”
Regarding this, Kelly nodded, "Yes, the store manager is a mature woman, about 20 years old, with long brown hair, very beautiful, and a little seductive. ”
"The yellow clerk is a girl with long red hair and glasses, and her whole temperament looks more intellectual."
"The last dumb-looking clerk is a blue-haired girl, and according to the information, she always does something stupid, and it seems that the other clerks have a problem with her, but the store manager likes her very much."
Washington frowned after hearing Kelly's description, she didn't know who the store manager and the intellectual girl were for the time being, but the blue-haired dumb clerk she had some guesses, if it was as she thought, the Admiral would be very happy.
After thinking for a while, Washington said to Kelly, "Thanks to the information you provided, tomorrow I will take my sisters to walk around Navi City, and the day after tomorrow I will leave for Swift City to see what is going on." ”
Kelly drank all the black tea in the cup in one gulp and smiled, "Hehe, it looks like you probably have some clues, right?" If I can help you, you can simply stay with me for the next two days, the house you originally rented has been sold. ”
Washington was not polite, and said with a smile, "Then it's bothering you, I really don't want to take my sisters to the hotel." ”
Kelly, who had already regarded Washington as her daughter, naturally welcomed their stay, but in the retention of Tina and Kelly, Washington reluctantly changed her plan, and took the 6 little Loli of the Fletcher class to have a good time in the pastoral state with Tina, who was on leave.
The little ones were happy to have a few more days of play, and with their two sisters they had traveled all over the Pastoral State, and by the time Washington returned to Navi with the satisfied children, it was already ten days later.
"Miscalculated...... I didn't expect it to be 10 days. Washington, who had also had a good time, began to get annoyed when he returned to Navi to calm down.
Tina, who came to the train station with her mother to see her off, smiled and said, "Okay, aren't you having a lot of fun anyway?" If you have any opinions, let him come to me, and I'll make him look good!" ”
Kelly looked helplessly at her daughter's sleeves, ignored her advice to Washington, "Although I know that you will not be wronged in the town guard's mansion, you should still put down your self-esteem when it is time to make a move, and it will not lead to anything good if you keep waiting like this." ”
Hearing Kelly's playful reminder, Washington turned his face away uncomfortably and said, "Tsk...... I see, you guys go back too, there's a lot of stuff to do in Tina's absence these days, right? ”
Looking at Washington, who was fleeing in a hurry, Kelly smiled, hugged the children one by one and said goodbye, and watched the train speed away from the platform.
"Okay, no matter which stubborn girl is, let's go back to do business, and taunt her next time we come back." Kelly patted her daughter on the back as she took the lead and walked towards the car outside the station.
"If you say that others are stubborn, you are no better......"
Looking at her mother's somewhat stunned back, Tina felt helpless about the two who were similar.
