Chapter 106: Accidents
After Durin had organized his words, he made his request, but instead of agreeing immediately, Mr. Kersma looked at Durin curiously, as if he had met Durin as a "stranger" for the first time. After looking at it for about half a minute, Mr. Kersma asked curiously, "Have you been reading lately, and how do you know this?"
Durin was stunned for a moment, he really didn't expect Mr. Kersma's thinking to be so peculiar, ignoring his requirements that could be said to have violated the laws of the Empire, but asking him if he had studied. He quickly came to his senses and nodded, "Yes father, I will read books when I have free time recently." I learned to read and write in the city, and I also got to know a lawyer who was so bad that the soles of his feet were pus, and when he left Turnaire for the capital, he left some unwanted things behind and handed them to me!"
Kevin didn't leave with him those worthless books, and for a lawyer like him, who had signed up with one of the largest law firms in the empire, his law firm would solve any reasonable needs for him, let alone provide him with a full set of hardcover law books - in fact, many times these beautiful and heavy law books like works of art were not for the lawyers of the law firm, but for those who came to consult for help.
These books are like the indispensable decorations of the law firm, and the more luxurious and exquisite they are, the more they symbolize the inexplicable strength. So Kevin left all of these things and left with some decent clothes and some memorable things. Before leaving, he gave Durin all the things he didn't need, and told Durin to read them whenever he had time.
In Kevin's words, if you want to succeed in this society, you need to first achieve "reasonable delinquency", and the second is "reasonable avoidance", only by doing these two things, can you have a chance to climb the ladder to heaven and not lose your balance because of an inconspicuous pebble and fall heavily from the clouds.
Kevin's words Du Lin listened very carefully and kept it in mind, because he felt the shackles of the ubiquitous theocratic law and imperial law through getting along with Kevin, restricting and restricting everyone, but at the same time, there are some people who can easily open these shackles and do some illegal things in a reasonable way.
That's remarkable, isn't it?
In one hand he held aloft the sacred codex, and in the other hand he held the murder weapon .......
So during this time, as long as Du Lin is free, he will take a fancy to some, and this time his idea also comes from the record in the "Shining Star Empire's Special Decree Collection", and then according to Kevin's words, he will reasonably drill some loopholes. He even sent a telegram to Kevin, who was already in the capital, and Kevin replied with only two words - "No problem". In fact, this is not because the author Jun did not learn mathematics well in elementary school, nor did he drink too much and his eyes were spent, in the writing format of the Dazzling Star Empire, the word "no problem" has only two syllables, of course, it can also be interpreted as "can", these are two words.
Looking at Durin nodding and admitting that he had read during this time, the corners of Mr. Kersma's mouth raised a slight arc, and quickly retracted it. He pursed his lips and lowered his head slightly, the palm of one hand pressed on the tabletop, and his fingers gently and rhythmically lit the tabletop, making a loud sound.
After a long while, he nodded solemnly, "That old drunk actually has a good relationship with me, and there are quite a few Gualts in the town, so presumably only we Gualts can bear such hard 'work'." "And I don't think this money needs to be taken out all at once, let those boys be volunteers, and then you will subsidize ......"
Durin really didn't expect Mr. Kersma, who had not left the town since Mason was born, to think like this, which really caught him off guard. Perhaps perceiving the astonishment and disbelief in Durin's eyes, Mr. Kersma's rigid face finally had a smug smile, and he raised his eyebrows, pressed one hand on the pile of fifty dollar bills, and stood up.
The vigorous hands were covered with wrinkles and calluses, but at this time, the hands seemed to have an indescribable magic. He put five thousand dollars in his pocket, walked over to Durin and patted him on the shoulder, "You bastard, you're still tender!"
Durin could only nod yes, the confusion in his mind, in fact, what Mr. Kersma said was what he planned to say next, but Mr. Kerma preempted it. He couldn't use his own money to train seven local guards with excellent military ability for the town and the empire, he would send some people who were worth sending in as "volunteers", that is, the kind of "volunteers" who would eat and drink you but had no salary.
At the same time, he privately subsidized them with a large amount of remuneration and bought people's hearts, so that in the end, Durin felt that if the old drunk was disobedient, he would find someone to replace him, and completely control the "military power" of Alfalfa Town in his own hands. But he just didn't understand, how did Mr. Kersma come up with this?
He watched as Mr. Kersma's back disappeared at the end of the stairs leading to the second floor, and he immediately went to find Mrs. Kersma.
"Mother, what did father do before?", at this time Mrs. Kersma was taking care of Lilith, and the little one was taking a bath, when she saw Durin break in and shrank into the bucket a little shyly, revealing only one head. The long hair fluttered on the water, and if the lights and environment were changed, Dührin might have run away.
Mrs. Kersma didn't look back, but laughed and said, "What else can he do? He was a farmer from the time I knew him." But I have to say that he was a great guy at that time, and his level of farm work was a lot higher than the others, otherwise I would not have married him!"
Mrs. Kersma's answer made Durin even more confused, was this the so-called whim, but fortunately he did not continue to dwell on this issue, but shifted the direction to Mason, who wanted to buy Mason.
The regional police station has a high degree of independence, and basically everything is decided by the chief of the regional police department, and if you want to get the head of a substation, you must get through the Prundo. But fortunately, he has already taken the bait, and this time Durin will send him money until he is satisfied.
Of course, Dulin actually knows very well that Plando may not be able to open his mouth, and he will even help Dulin do this without money, but whether he wants money or not, Plando doesn't count.
