Chapter 1109: Living Advertising
Benhain smiled awkwardly, he wouldn't let his candle go out, for the first time, he felt that life was so precious.
He had never imagined that he would face such a moment one day, even if at that time Bowers was only the whip of the New Party, and the power was not as great as it is now, he was already alive and well.
But now, on the contrary, he began to feel uneasy, thinking back on the past six months, with the promotion of Boworth to the leadership of the new party, his life has also entered another stage.
All sorts of temptations come to you, some good, some good, and some good.
There is nothing bad except that everyone respects him, is willing to provide him with all kinds of conveniences, is willing to fill his anonymous account, and he feels like a "key person" in high society.
If you want to get something, you must give something, there is no gratuitous gain, and there is no gratuitous giving.
He had benefited greatly from Bowworth's promotion, and as a result, he had to take on some responsibilities that were not inferior to him, and which he could not afford.
Dürin's meaning was already very obvious, and Ben Hain thought that Dührin actually knew the truth, but he wanted him to say it himself.
There has never been any contradiction between him and Dover, and he will definitely not be idle and bored to send people to investigate Dover, these are all Bowers's ideas, trying to grasp the evidence of Dover's crime, and then use Dover to clamp down on Dover.
It's just that he didn't expect that Durin's decision came so quickly that he didn't even react to it.
Seeing that the cigarette in his hand had been smoked, and that the sweat was drenching Benhain's clothes, and that the wind that had penetrated through the cracks in the house had made him cold, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva and began to tell the truth.
No one can choose between life and death against themselves, and instinct is the only force that can restrain reason.
"The last time Mr. Doolin had a problem with my uncle, he was very angry, and he thought that some agreement could be reached with you by another, less straightforward way. ”
Benhain glanced at Dover, and continued, "We all know in recent times that the Townsfolk Association is being restructured and that Mr. Doverf has left you, and I think this is an opportunity, so I propose to my uncle that perhaps we can use Mr. Dover's position at your side as a buffer between the two positions between you and my uncle, so that some issues can be dealt with relatively easily. ”
Durin nodded, he casually pointed his fingers, clasped his fingers, and rested his elbows on the armrests on either side of the chair, "Mr. Benhain, I noticed that you just said that it was 'you think', in other words, did you initiate and carry out the investigation of Dover?"
"Yes, I brought it up and did it myself. Although Benhain decided to tell most of the things, he still withheld the most crucial part.
He was protecting Bowers as well as protecting himself, and he wasn't sure if there was a tape recorder in this room, and he wasn't sure if Durin would get his hands on his confession and would cause Bowers a lot of trouble, and he wouldn't confess to Bowworth until there was a decisive force.
He was even mentally prepared to face something that could be terrible, but as long as he didn't die, he wouldn't say the most crucial words.
Bowers carries not only everything in his current family, but also everything in the Benhain family, and these people of civilian origin are too competitive in this society.
Without the support of such a powerful person as Bowworth, they may not be much better than the average wage earner.
Lacking sufficient creativity and perseverance, they are destined to be able to show only the ability to live on other people, which is also the situation that most of the lower middle class are facing.
The solidified class is guarding against the footsteps of those who come after them, and they use all means to reduce the area under their feet, but even so, many people will come in every year and compete with them for space, and they can only erect more solid walls to block everything as much as possible.
The ladder to heaven is not faith and piety, but money, and power, which is precisely what the middle and lower classes lack and need the most.
"It seems that Mr. Benhain is not willing to cooperate with ......," Durin touched the stubble on his chin.
Benha began to calm down because of this, and he smiled a little, "I'm just telling the truth. ”
Durin couldn't help but applaud a few times, "I admire your courage in the face of danger, and I also believe that you are a smart man......", he paused here, obviously thinking about what to do with Benhain, who began to tense and uneasy again.
The acceleration of the heartbeat makes his mouth dry, which is a normal phenomenon, when humans perceive a great danger, adrenaline will be secreted, and the strong force injected into the heart will speed up the metabolism, so that the various organs of the body, including the muscle tissue, will increase the oxygen content and gain more strength.
Dry mouth is just an inconspicuous complication.
In fact, Durin did not intend to kill Benhain, and he did not think about killing this person from the time he asked Savi to capture him.
First of all, Benhain has a certain social influence, and it is in the imperial capital, and killing him will inevitably make Bowers angry, and the whole society will be shaken.
He didn't have much influence or popularity like Doolin had killed most of them before, and even if he disappeared, no one would run for them.
But Ben Hain is different, he has done too much dirty work for Boworths, he has done a lot of intimate things for him, and he has the "dark side" of Boworths.
Once Benhain is gone, in addition to Bowers, those who have made deals with Boworth will become terrified, and these people will explore what is happening in the fog in search of the truth.
Doolin is not afraid of these people's exploration, but their exploration will obviously be a problem, and when they find out that their opponent may be Doolin, they will be faced with two options.
One, when you don't know what to do, give up on pursuing the truth, and then pretend that you haven't done anything, live in uneasiness, and be alert to the possibility of a bomb exploding at any time and killing yourself.
Second, unite with the other "victims", including Bowers, to form a group that exists because of Doolin, and then concentrate on fighting Doolin.
Either one is not the best outcome, as they will eventually come face to face with Doolin and take opposing sides.
Besides, Durin could not guarantee that this crazy old man of Bowers would still have even a shred of sanity in his rage, and he would definitely do something unexpected, and might even make everything public, just to make Durin unlucky.
In addition, it is Kubal who is sitting in the prime minister's position now, not Maggs, and there are some things that Kubal may not be willing to help him suppress.
Although Mags has always claimed to be absolutely impartial, he is honestly partial enough to Doolin, and when Durin kills the Gualt traitors in order to solve the final problem, Magus helps him to suppress him.
However, Kubar will not necessarily do that, and if the old party can directly eliminate a new governor after coming to power, it will be exciting for all the old party forces, and it will also improve the cohesion of the old party.
In addition, the large-scale development of Ambiluo is imminent, and in terms of social orientation, Doolin also needs to maintain a positive image of Ambiluo and himself, so that people will have a good impression of Ambiluo and promote local economic construction.
For a number of reasons, Benhain will not die, but he will have to pay the price, and he will be a sign to warn everyone not to provoke Durin.
This can not only undermine Boworths's decency on some levels, let him know that some things will be caught as long as you do them, but also let more people understand that he and Bowers are not friends.
This is very important, in the political arena, a person can be mediocre, he can have little ability, but the position must be accurate.
Then, Benhain's ending is obvious, he will live, but he will definitely lose face, and it will become a scandal, so as to disgrace Bowers, and by the way, suppress the people of Bowworths and his family on the top of the Imperial Tower.
Thinking of this, Durin stood up, and Ben Hain, who was sitting loosely and slumped in his chair, also wanted to stand up, but a hand behind him pressed on his shoulder, pressing him firmly to the chair.
His breathing became rapid and unstable, the uneasiness made his heart beat a few beats, and the desire to vomit rose instantly, and he endured it.
Durin straightened his clothes, spared the lights and walked outside, "Mr. Benhain, I wish you a pleasant holiday!"
Benhain suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, his tense body relaxed, and suddenly he vomited, but he didn't feel uncomfortable because of it, but laughed and vomited at the same time.
He has already understood his end, so he will cooperate well with Durin, and Doolin wants to set him up as an "example", then he will let this example shine with golden light.
The next morning, the daily newspaper Oz, the largest circulation in the state of Ambiluo, reported a ridiculous story about a celestial enthusiast who came to Ambiluo to let himself go and run around the city naked, tattooing some funny words on his body.
A series of photos show the naked man in front of people's eyes, with "Don't mess with me" tattooed on the front of his body, and the words "I'll spank your ass" on the back, which makes people feel ridiculous and a little inexplicable.
The paper, the next morning, appeared on Bowers' desk.
