The paradise island, which was originally under construction, was panicked because of the sudden appearance of leprosy, although the island cabinet led by James swore to the people that they were already trying all kinds of ways to deal with the epidemic, in addition to sending people to find special drugs, they also sent a request for help to the empire mainland as soon as possible.

On the third day after the incident, the commander of the island guard, Sandro, with his guards, rushed into the residence of the Protestants who had been quarantined, arrested all the so-called patients suffering from leprosy, and after a night of surprise interrogation and careful examination by military doctors, it was finally determined that the Protestants had deliberately spread rumors and lied about their illness.

Now the island boiled again, and the people, who felt that they had been teased, gathered angrily at the gate of the governor's palace, and strongly demanded that the Protestants should be sentenced to severe sentences immediately, and some even shouted that they should be shot directly as an example.

As the governor of the island, James was naturally very annoyed, a lie made the entire island fall into unease and anxiety, and even worse, he also sent someone to the Imperial Assembly to ask for help, and turned around to find that everything was just a ridiculous farce, and his political career was over.

The first unlucky one is the glasses man, after all, he went to confirm the condition in the end, and according to James's intentions, he will be fired from all public offices on the spot and then put into prison, but fortunately, the glasses man is usually exquisite, and his relationship with other officials in the cabinet is not bad, plus he has indeed made a lot of contributions to the construction of the island, so in the end he was only removed from his post first.

The next unfortunate is the Protestants on the island, although it is said that only a small number of Protestants spread leprosy, but after all, Protestants usually like to be noisy, and the impression on the people is not very good. There are even more extreme demands that Protestants be disqualified as citizens of the Empire.

Of course, some of these are possible, and some of them are purely sexual immorality. Although it is said that the old believers of the entire British Empire control the absolute core of power, and the Protestants are excluded, it does not mean that the Protestants have no room for resistance, especially in the major overseas colonies of the Empire, the number of Protestants is still quite large, once all the Protestants take up guns, it will be enough for the empire to have a headache for a while, and the Protestants just think that the Holy See should not become a tool of the royal government, oppose the politicization of religion, hope to maintain the independence of religion, and do not propose to seek a change of regime, In essence, it did not touch the core interests and bottom line of the royal family and nobles, and after all, it was still a force that could be united, so it was impossible for the top of the empire to do anything to kill everything.

The arrested Protestants also took the initiative to confess after surprise interrogation, and their purpose in doing so was purely to make the empire pay more attention to the rights and interests of Protestants, to fight for more living space for themselves, in modern terms, it was a performance art, in modern terms, to win attention and attention.

The lame Mattheeson had been preparing to evacuate Paradise Island for a while, but when he learned that leprosy was nothing more than a farce, he began to get restless again. He asked his subordinates to go to the winery with gifts three times to invite Long Xin'er to dinner, but Long Xin'er refused politely, every time he stood at the door of the tobacco company, looking at Long Xin'er's back from a distance, Mathieson was itching to be as uncomfortable as he was. And before leaving, I specially instructed the big bear to go to the distillery when he was fine, if Mathieson's grandson dared to fight the idea of the distillery, don't be polite and directly smack him, Mathieson's men after eating a few deflated in front of the big bear, they also know that they can't come hard and can only outwit.

After some thought he thought was thoughtful, Mattheeson ordered his men to make a bamboo chair and carry it to the Doge's Palace, and after meeting James, Mattheeson said with a threat: "Your Excellency the Governor, if you say that if the Imperial Council receives the report of leprosy on the island that you sent out first, and then receives the report that you sent out a second time that the disease is wrong, will those distinguished councillors feel like they have been tricked?" Besides, if my uncle found out that I lost a leg and you let the perpetrator go, would he be angry too? ”

Of course, James knew that no matter what it was, he couldn't handle it, and he also knew that Mathieson's grandson must be planning to take advantage of the danger and make some excessive demands, but he couldn't help it, so he could only say with a smile: "I don't know if you have any way, can you help me?" ”

Mathieson hooked his fingers to let James get closer, and then said with a lewd face: "As long as you help me get the dragon girl, I will find a way to help you settle everything." ”

James smiled bitterly twice and said, "That dragon girl is already married to someone surnamed Han, if she doesn't want to, I can't forcibly plunder it for you, right?" ”

Mathieson glared at James and said with a look of disgust: "Why are you so stupid?" If you want to forcibly rob someone, what nonsense am I talking to you? At the moment, I don't know if the guy surnamed Han can come back, even if he can get away with coming back alive, then he has to continue to go to prison, if he wants to be free, does he have to make a little sacrifice? For example, take the initiative to give up the winery and take the initiative to divorce the dragon girl? In this way, the winery belongs to you, and the dragon girl belongs to me, won't we both benefit? ”

"But the guy surnamed Han definitely doesn't want to?" James said.

"I wonder how you managed to get to the position of Governor? Can you use your brain? Can't you tell Miss Dragon about this? You just tell her that if she refuses to leave the surname Han, then wait to see the surname Han sit through the prison! Mathieson said angrily.

After sending Mathieson away, James shook his head and muttered, "This young master really dares to think about anything and dare to do anything." ”

"Therefore, the Governor should judge the situation and make the right choice." A dark shadow slowly walked out from behind the curtain in the corner of the house, "The situation on the island seems to be very complicated at the moment, Yang Biao cooperated with those Protestants to stage this scene, and Sandro directly led people to tear off the curtain without informing you, and it seems that only you have been passive from beginning to end." Even now a clown jumping up and down has jumped out to point fingers, this governor's position is not easy to do, right? ”

James's face turned red when he was told by the other party, but he couldn't refute it, he was not from an aristocratic background, and he was able to sit in the position of the governor because of the support of Duke Jackson, or more precisely, his father, who was also injured in the great retreat that year, so as a descendant, he was favored by the magnates who were rescued that year. But this unreliable background relationship will become weaker and weaker as time goes by, and the grace of a drop of water may be the most unreliable promise in the world.

Originally, James wanted to take advantage of Grace to take the position, but Grace didn't seem to have a good impression of him, and said that the melon that was twisted was not sweet, and now he didn't even have a chance to twist, so James was looking for a better opportunity in the depths of his heart.

James is upset here, and Big Bear is also anxious, in addition to beware of Mattheison's grandson being bad, but also worried about the safety of me and Uncle Wei, although these people in the Boulder Camp have no blood relationship, and most of them didn't know each other before the shipwreck, but after such a long time of getting along day and night, they have long been regarded as a family in each other's hearts.

Su Yuliu and Lin Ruyi looked for Grace a few times, and Grace also wrote a letter to Duke Jackson, but in such a short period of time, the Duke may not even see the envelope, and there seems to be no other way except to be in a hurry.
