Chapter 180: Amnesia?

The effects of Mafu's death soon spread on the island, and it was rumored that the suicide note he left before his death was written that he wanted to murder Prince Charles because of his dissatisfaction with the Empire's current pilot campaign to abolish slavery on Paradise Island.

The abolition of slavery has liberated slaves and given them the protection of human rights, but for some citizens, their interests have also been harmed. Before the abolition of slavery, this groom made a living by raising and selling horses, and he once raised two slaves under his hands, although he was not particularly wealthy at that time, but he could barely reach the level of well-off.

Later, the empire abolished slavery, and the two slaves under the groom became citizens of the empire on an equal footing with him, and the groom wanted to let them work again, not only had to pay their salaries, but also had to arrange the work within the working hours stipulated by the empire, although the empire compensated him with some money, but it was far from enough, he could not afford to hire people to work for a long time, and finally had to be a groom himself.

The huge gap in status and the sharp decline in income made the groom dissatisfied with the empire for a long time, so he took the opportunity of this equestrian competition to focus all his resentment on Prince Charles, and bought chronic poison to secretly feed Prince Charles's horses.

It's just that I didn't expect Prince Charles to turn out to be fine, but he could be caught at any time, in the face of great pressure, the groom was disheartened and chose to end his life, but even so, he still expressed his deep dissatisfaction with the abolition of slavery in the wording of his suicide note, he believes that the abolition of slavery will not only not bring any benefits to the empire, but will make the imperial society full of various unstable factors, those slaves who have become new citizens, In a word, the abolition of slavery is a mistake at all, a conspiracy of some people with ulterior motives, there must be some unseemly intentions behind it, and it may even be a disguised means of the Souel Republican Revolution to disintegrate the British Empire.

After knowing the contents of the groom's suicide note, Duke Jackson's face turned pale, although the ulterior motives mentioned in the suicide note did not name him, but it was easy to think of him, after all, it was Duke Jackson who personally came to Paradise Island to announce this reform, and in front of the Imperial Assembly and the Queen, Duke Jackson was also the main active promoter,

Duke Jackson angrily asked Sandrow, "You have long suspected these grooms, why don't you arrest him?" ”

Sandro replied in horror, "I originally planned to go directly to capture those grooms and torture them, but James disagreed, he said that he wanted to put a long line to catch big fish, and he felt that there were other black hands hidden behind the grooms." ”

"Fart!" Duke Jackson said openly, "What big fish can he catch?" Smart! ”

"Yes, yes!" Seeing that Jackson focused all his grievances on James, Sandro breathed a sigh of relief, he touched the cold sweat on his bald head and said, "James has become conceited and arrogant since he walked with that oriental woman, and he always thinks that he can do what he can do, and when I talk to him, he doesn't pay attention to it at all." ”

"Humph!" Jackson snorted coldly twice and said, "I can make him an ordinary person who is nothing as long as I move my mouth, and he really thinks he has a lot of ability." ”

"Lord Duke, do you think it was really the Protestants who did this? The information that Aya brought back last time ......", and before Sandro could finish speaking, Jackson interrupted him, "Do you have any proof?" Is it possible for me to arrest all those Protestants and torture them to extract confessions? ”

"But, Lord Duke ......", the more Jackson said, the more confused Sandro became, it was he who arranged for Aya to go undercover next to Big Bear, and Aya accidentally learned that after Bowers' conspiracy came back to report, it was he who made no one keep quiet, and now he knows that Bowers' death is nine times out of ten that Bowers did it, and he is the one who says that there is no evidence, what does this high-ranking Duke Jackson think? When did the Duke start talking about the law like this?

According to Sandro's previous plan, they learned from Aya that Powers' group of Protestants were preparing to murder Prince Charlie, and at this time they should find a way to let Bowles's gang move smoothly, but not to really hurt the prince, and take this opportunity to stage a good show to save the driver, and finally wipe out Bowles and other Protestants, which is another achievement, what a perfect opportunity, and there is no need to pay anything, but I didn't expect Jackson's script to be written like this.

Not only did he not take any safeguards, which led to the Protestants almost succeeding, but he also handed over the responsibility of handling the case to James, and did not allow Sandro to divulge any information to James, which made Sandro very puzzling, and took 10,000 steps back, even if Duke Jackson had some other plans, then what did he mean by not arresting the groom earlier? Sandro is a little skeptical that Jackson has amnesia? It's like you don't know anything.

Although he thought so in his heart, Sandro didn't dare to say so, and he cautiously asked Jackson, "Then Lord Duke, what should we do next?" The contents of Nagmafu's suicide note have spread on Paradise Island. ”

Jackson thought for a long time and then said slowly, "Let James hurry up and send someone to investigate, and be sure to find out the relationship between that groom and Bowers' gang within three days, and you tell him that if no result can be found within three days, I will remove him from his position as governor of the island." ”

Sandro glanced at Jackson strangely, but he didn't dare to continue asking, just hurriedly retreated after answering, and walked outside the house, Sandro finally couldn't help but say to himself, "Why is the Duke so strange today?" ”

As soon as Sandro left, Jackson quickly closed the doors and windows, and repeatedly confirmed that the doors and windows were locked. He sat on the stool and patted his head vigorously, and his heart was full of turmoil.

"What's going on? Why are some of my memories messed up? Jackson patted his head and muttered to himself, he didn't know what was going on, but since this afternoon, he suddenly felt a little buzzing in his head, and then he began to feel that something he couldn't remember, and some of his memories overlapped and overlapped. Why? Why is that? Could it be that something has changed in this world? Jackson kept pacing back and forth in the room, and his mouth kept breaking words, and an inexplicable fear and worry slowly began to grow from the bottom of his heart. Am I going to be like those people? Am I going to live like a fool in this world? The more Jackson thought about it, the more desperate he felt, and he quickly took out his pen and paper, and tried to write down what he could remember now, and the trembling handwriting began with his name, followed by his identity, his upbringing, all his possessions, his connections, and all his secrets.

In addition to Duke Jackson, James was equally angry after knowing the news of Mafu's suicide note, and he immediately found Long Xin'er and asked, "Why didn't your people find signs that Mafu was going to commit suicide?" ”。

Long Xin'er said innocently, "My people can only monitor him outside the house, who he interacts with, how can he go to his house and watch." ”

"And what are you watching? Why did the groom suddenly commit suicide? ”
