Chapter 942: Bad Food

Nichol, the name of the angry worker, used his muscles to make a two-step plan. The first step was to attack a settlement of immigrants, and although Doolin and the state government had provided two settlements for the settlers, it was too far from the mainstream industrial and commercial clusters, and most of the immigrants still lived on the fringes of the cities, finding a cheap plot of land and building rudimentary shacks so that they could go to work without having to cross the city by train.

The second step was to attack the factory where he had previously worked, and he wanted to make the manager understand the consequences of cheating him and throwing his human dignity on the ground, and he wanted to let all the entrepreneurs and immigrants know that the rules should be followed in the west.

After a conspiracy that was so simple that there was almost no need, more than two dozen people, armed with sticks and some hunting knives, rushed to a settlement of immigrants. This settlement is on the edge of the city, because immigrants don't like to enjoy the attitude so that they don't have any requirements for the quality of life, and if there is, then as long as the cost of living is minimal. As a result, a large number of immigrants live in the most remote, dirtiest, and messiest part of a city.

And Nicol chose such a gathering place.

When they rushed into this place, they didn't find many people, and most of the immigrants who came to the empire from other regions were real laborers, and each of them came to the empire for the purpose of exporting labor, in addition to obtaining a residence permit. In fact, in the eyes of the imperial society, these immigrants were willing to pay themselves to work, and their wages were outrageously low, but people did not understand what the low wages these people now take mean in their hometowns.

That's definitely a decent high wage, comparable to that of some white-collar workers, so they don't mind asking for a lower income to get a stable job.

Most of the people in the residential area at this time are not very many, most of them are working, at least very few are temporarily unemployed, or sick, or their family members are still in humble homes.

When Nichol's group rushed in, they didn't find many people, they had come with a kind of hatred and determination, but they didn't expect to pounce, and after beating a few young people, everyone's anger was not vented, and then one of them suggested that the rotten house should be burned. This suggestion has been well echoed by others, and the houses here are all made of wooden structures, and there are some discarded boards made of other materials such as industrial waste, which are very easy to ignite.

They made some torches, lit the first house, then the second, and finally almost the entire shack in the settlement burned. They laughed in the face of the monstrous flames, which can be regarded as venting the anger and injustice in their hearts, and they feel that their lives have reached a climax. But in places they didn't notice, red-eyed immigrants were quietly approaching them.

The battle, which ensued, also ended Nicole's second step plan before it could be implemented.

It is not easy for these immigrants to have a temporary home in the Empire, including some former slaves, and maybe this is just a garbage dump for Nicol and others, but for the immigrants, this is their hard-won home in the Empire. They swallow their anger and accept the discriminatory gaze of some people in the society of the empire, and silently endure some unfair treatment, but there is a reason for all this, because they have a dream to be rooted in the empire, to have a home here, even if it is just a humble house.

People who have not experienced these things will never understand, that warmth may be cheap, but it can make people survive the cold winter, and now the shelter for them has been burned by a group of inexplicable thugs, and all their savings have been burned, and that deep despair makes these people unwilling to remain silent, they have to do what they have to do.

In addition to some people staying here, some people ran to the nearby factories to inform the migrant workers, and more and more people rushed over with sticks and other things, and Nicole and others were also surrounded and beaten by a group of people, and they couldn't even find a place to run.

Originally, they came to vent their negative emotions, but they didn't expect them to become a way to vent in the end.

When the immigrants stopped because they were tired, their faces changed color.

Dead!

It doesn't end well to be beaten up by a group of angry workers, who do the hardest and heaviest work in the West at the lowest wage, and even if they weren't very strong once, it's enough time for them to become strong. In a group fight, no one cares if someone who shouts that they are dying is really going to die, they will only instinctively make those who are still moving and can still speak and curse unable to move and open their mouths. Once the factor of bloodthirsty violence is released, it is difficult to regain its restraint.

In the open space of the crowd, there were more than a dozen people lying horizontally, and seven of them were not breathing and had lost their heartbeat.

The incident quickly reached the regional police station, and the police realized the seriousness of the problem, bringing all the participants back to the police station and notifying the workers' union, as well as the town hall and the state government.

This is a very dangerous case, a bad handling can easily lead to a series of social problems, all the people in charge become preoccupied, and finally this matter also let Durin know.

"Something went wrong......"

Dover was chatting with a few guests when Dover said this in Dohrin's ear, and on the night of the princess's birthday party, he made a splash, and the princess's "best gift" directly made Dührin the protagonist of the birthday party. Coupled with his wit and charisma, as well as his willingness to play by the rules, the aristocracy easily accepted him.

It's like an absurd and comical stage play, once this circle was strictly guarded against Durin, even if he made many changes and breakthroughs, it couldn't make people accept his existence. But at this moment, these people took the initiative to include him in this circle, just because he began to abide by the rules of the game. To be honest, Durin himself was surprised, he thought it would take a long time for the nobles to accept this fact, but the fact that the nobles came to visit him the next day made him feel indescribable.

Durin smiled and confessed, stood up and walked to the second floor, where Du Fo whispered to him in detail about what had happened in the west.

No one could have imagined that things would come to this point, when a group of workers who had lost their jobs because of migrant workers and were unwilling to accept the resettlement of the workers' union decided to make trouble and attacked a settlement of foreign immigrants in the city. Westerners have always been accustomed to their own territory, and at the same time, these immigrants usually behave submissively and very humblely. Even if they spit on them on the side of the road, shouting and scolding, not only will they not stop to theorize, but will leave quickly with their heads down, which also makes many people think that these immigrants are very timid, they are a bunch of little chickens, even if they slap them, they will not say anything.

But this group of immigrants broke out at this time, they killed seven locals, and the matter was revealed by someone I don't know, which has already caused some questions. The workers' unions, for their part, sent a team of lawyers to prosecute all the migrants involved in the brawl and incited public opinion to demand the harshest punishment for them. On the other hand, some immigrants are well mixed, such as Amon, who have also paid a lot of money to hire some lawyers and are defending the work of those immigrants. This matter has fermented rapidly in a very short period of time, and it is no longer a conflict between two groups of people, but a conflict between two groups in society.

A lot of people are paying attention to this and are eager to know how it will turn out.

If the final judgment is biased in favor of the locals, after all, they burned down the houses of the immigrants beforehand, and the surviving participants in it will not dare to hide anything in the face of such serious consequences, and will directly say what should be said and what should not be said, including whether they went out to seek revenge and set fire to other people's houses first. This puts them in a passive situation, and many of the general public are illiterate and do not understand the law, they only know what is right and what is wrong, and they don't need many profound reasons.

In the unlikely event that the judge gave a judgment in favor of the natives in order to protect the natives, it would cause unease and panic among the immigrant community, which would also have a negative effect on the immigration policy of the empire, and at the same time could exacerbate the chances of a similar phenomenon occurring. This is tantamount to telling everyone that immigrants are second-class citizens, beating them is not illegal, and encouraging people to commit crimes.

But if the result is biased in favor of the immigrants, there is also a lot of trouble, after all, the gang only burned the house and did not cause physical harm, they could have gone to the police, but they chose the worst way to retaliate, and caused the bad result of seven deaths. Once they win the trial, it will inevitably further intensify the contradictions and differences between the two groups, and even evolve into more vicious cases, after all, this is the west.

Now many problems have not been resolved, some workers have started to march spontaneously, and immigrants have also started to march, causing a lot of trouble, and the state government wants Dohrin to intervene in the matter.

Isn't he running for governor? Great, now he can experience the working atmosphere of a governor, and that's what he should do for the benefit of the West!

Durin sat in his study and lit a cigarette, thought for a moment, picked up the phone, and dialed Henry's.

This unlucky guy still lives in the west, of course, he is actually living a good life now, in addition to having a lot of bodyguards around him to prevent the revenge attack of the Earth God Sect on him, whether it is his father or his eldest brother, they have begun to value this brother.

If Durin can become the governor, then Henry's status in the family will be even higher, and he also understands why he is now starting to be valued by the family, and he feels more and more that hugging Durin's thigh is the most correct choice in this life!
