Chapter 138: Something Happened
"What I gave you is yours. I won't give it to you, you can't stretch out your hand!", as he spoke, Durin pushed the two hundred pieces pressed under his palm.
Delier, who was already a little moist in his eyes, grinned and squirted some droplets for it. He happily held the wad of banknotes tightly in his hand, as if he were holding the most precious treasure in his life, and then put it properly in his pocket, and patted it with anxiety. Then he sat down honestly, straightened his waist, and desperately tried to make a very serious appearance.
Durin shook his head, perhaps it was because of Delier's sissy appearance that those big names calmly let their wives go to the art gallery for a tea party. But because of this, it gives those women a chance to completely release themselves. He tapped his finger on the table, and the voice might not have been loud, but it was dull, but it was enough for Delier to focus on what Durin was going to say next.
"Write me down what Lady Vivien and the other ladies do every day, and what they say that excites you. Don't worry, even if Lady Vivien finds out about this, she won't be dissatisfied with you, and I have had dealings with Lady Vivien and have established a friendship. For this, I will give you two hundred dollars a week, and if you can tell me something that interests me, there is also another bonus. Duhrin always believed that money has an unparalleled position in this society, and no one can easily refuse money, and if there is, it only means that there is not enough money to tempt him.
After thinking about it, Delier happily agreed, eight hundred dollars a week was not a small amount for him. Not only does this money allow him to continue to aspire to more high-end art, but there is also extra money that allows him to take care of his skin, do hair, spa treatments and so on.
He nodded vigorously, indicating that he took this task, there was no danger, and there was a lot of money to take, why not do it.
Durin stretched out his index finger and shook it, and after a moment he looked up at the dazed Delier and said with a smile, "Now you can leave and remember your mission." β
Delier was thinking about one thing when he left, it turned out that shaking his fingers around the finger meant that he could leave, and it was the first time he knew that he had to memorize this little action and its meaning firmly, which was also a gain this time.
Lady Vivien's desire to engage in a feminist movement was actually Doolin's advice to her. Systematically, it is clear that the feminist movement is in sharp conflict with the values of the old party. In feudal imperial society, women were only men's foils, like a pair of collar buttons, or a pair of cufflinks. There is not much use for it other than to embellish a man's charm and success with beauty, figure, origin, and upbringing.
Oh, sorry, but breeding the next generation was also one of the main jobs of women in the old society.
The aim of the feminist independence and movement is to break the shackles and labels imposed on women by society in the past, and at this stage the big names may only think that this is a boring game for women. But when women believe that they have gained independence and a certain social status, passionate women will inevitably pursue a higher goal - political power. Think about it, how serious it is for the women who have always been looked down upon by these old party elites to suddenly stand up and overturn their understanding of this society, overturn their three views, and even oppose their political program?
What's more, they don't have the means to be cruel to these women, because among these women are their wives, their daughters, and even their mothers.
Use persuasion to stop this group of women who have gone crazy in order to "realize the value of their lives"?
Maybe some people might stop in time, but Lady Vivien won't. As long as she doesn't stop, the fire will get bigger and bigger!
Struggle!
It would be impossible for the Mayor to join forces with Lady Vivien at this time, because Lady Vivien had already been injured twice, and she would not be stupid enough to be hurt again. In a short conversation with Dorin, Lady Vivien has clearly understood that in this real and real world, people will bow their heads only if you hold what they crave.
Whether it's a question between men and women, or a political one.
Soon the mayor will find out that there is finally a group of uncontrolled people in the city, who are doing something uncontrollable, and the worst thing is that he is likely to be responsible for these people and these things.
Not long after Delier left, Dover pushed the door open with a gloomy face, and he probably waited outside the door for a while. Du Lin's originally relaxed mood also became solemn after seeing Du Fo's ugly face.
Dover was a very cheerful man, and even in the face of the bounty from the mayor, he never showed such an expression, which meant that something must have happened that was putting him, Dorin, and their career in jeopardy.
Dufo sat down opposite Durin without being too polite, he kept his mouth shut, and pondered for a while before he spoke: "Our convoy to Guli was robbed, ten people died, all the goods were robbed, and the car was lost. β
According to the current cooperation agreement of the three giants of moonshine in Turnaire City, every five days, they go back to the surrounding cities to smuggle a batch of high-grade liquor. Each provides goods and entourage in proportion to its shares. Guri is located northeast of Turnair, about a hundred kilometers away, and it takes just over three hours to reach it by truck.
Guri does not have a clear camp, and it is also the object of contention between the old party and the new party. In this city, the mayor is from the New Party, but seventy percent of the heads of the departments below are from the Old Party. These old parties, with the old party parliamentarians as the core, are engaged in a life-and-death power struggle with the mayors of the new party. The environment at the top is chaotic, and the social environment at the bottom is also changeable.
According to the formal business philosophy, such a chaotic market is actually very unfriendly to the intervention of capital, because no one can guarantee that legitimate businessmen can operate normally in such a chaotic environment. But in reality, businessmen like a chaotic social environment, and only in such a chaotic social environment can the role of money be able to override power.
Doolin and their moonshine were selling very well here, and it took only two weeks to basically defeat the local moonshiner from top to bottom. Faced with these moderately priced and high-quality foreign products, local moonshiner merchants simply could not organize effective defenses to deal with the current situation.
Durin had been on guard against the possibility of the moonshiner jumping over the wall, so he had already sent additional escorts. Every five days, two trucks are loaded with boxes of "daily necessities" to the city of Guli, and in addition to the two drivers, Dohrin also arranges a total of 12 escorts. Six of these men were from Doolin, four were from Ernst, and the rest were from Karul.
The men, in addition to some sharp knives, were armed with two pistols. But even so, ten people can still die, which shows that the other party not only figured out the route of the transport and the situation of the escorts, but also knew how many weapons they had. If it weren't for the sudden wisdom of those stupid moonshiners who couldn't even do business, it would most likely have been from within.
These two truckloads of goods are worth almost 30,000 yuan, and the loss of money is a small matter, and the death of ten people is a big troublesome matter.
"How much have we lost our people?"
"Two dead!"
Du Lin suddenly gasped, this is really troublesome!
Trouble comes not only from the outside, but also from within. Durin sent six men, plus Ernst and Karul's men and chauffeurs, for a total of fourteen men. If DΓΌrin's arithmetic was not wrong, it was his people who survived. It was a good thing, but sometimes good things turned bad, and he couldn't explain the looting to Ernst and Karul in a nutshell.
Since the people who survived were his men, it is likely that Ernst and Karul wondered if Durin had taken the goods alone and killed their men, creating the illusion of being robbed.
That's not a small amount of money, and the other two divided half of the 30,000 yuan in the return. In this city that already makes people feel backward, it doesn't take too much to pay, and a thousand yuan can find a person who dares to do anything for money.
Once there is no way to solve this matter well, there will be a rift between the Big Three, and there will even be a real war.
"Can you be sure who did it?", thinking of this, Durin's eyes also became calm, "For example, their accents, the way they address their companions, the vehicles they ride in and the weapons they use, are there any clues that could be used to track down the murderer?"
Under Du Lin's expectant eyes, Du Fo slowly shook his head, "The other party's methods are very professional, and they haven't said a word during the whole process, they must have made a complete plan and rehearsed more than once before." It was very fast, well coordinated, there were seven or eight pistols in total, about ten people. β
"They threw some rocks in the middle of the road, and when our car slowed down to get around, they stood straight out of the wilderness and shot at the cab. The two drivers died on the spot, and as soon as the truck stopped, they began to clear the remaining escorts. Our men ran as fast as they saw the opportunity, but two of us ran a little slower and were caught up and shot in the back. β
"The whole process didn't take more than three minutes from start to finish, and then they drove away in our truck. β
