The behavior of Xiaoka and the bearded man made my second monk confused, and after Uncle Wei explained it to me, I knew that my face was graffiti, I looked at the face in the water and couldn't cry or laugh, and the three girls didn't sleep in the middle of the night and had the heart to make me happy.

"Xiao Han, you young people still know how to play, what does this grimace mean?" Uncle Wei said teasingly.

I smiled, "Don't catch up with the trend as you old comrade, this is the culture among young people." ”

Originally, I was going to go around the island again today, but then I thought about it, and what Sister Hongmei said didn't have enough auxiliary tools for us now, just driving eleven roads to explore was time-consuming, laborious and dangerous, and more importantly, there were many other things waiting for me to do.

After breakfast, the three girls hadn't gotten up yet, I don't know what time they tossed last night, and I didn't plan to wait for them to wake up, and then leave the boulder camp alone after saying goodbye to everyone.

When I walked to the side of the stream, I subconsciously looked up at the surrounding woods, this time there were no monkeys to sneak attack me again, think about the encounter in the cave canyon yesterday will still feel incredible, who would have thought that such an inconspicuous cave would hide such a big secret, Xiaoka's life experience is confusing enough, the life experience of the girl in the canyon is even more incredible, who is in the next game of chess?

When I got back to the distillery, Rockefeller immediately came over to tell me that the tobacco company next door had a new owner.

New owners? Previously, because of Mattheison's death, the tobacco company was temporarily taken over by the island cabinet, and all production activities were stopped, how could there be a new owner so soon? I asked Rockefell, "Have you investigated the origin of this new owner?" It can't be any of Count Soros's nephews, right? ”

Rockefeller shook his head and said, "Not the nephew of Count Soros, the newly appointed manager of the tobacco company this time is your friend." ”

"My friend?" I was even more confused when Rockefel said this, my friends are nothing more than the people at Boulder Camp, except for Big Bear, everyone was all together yesterday, and no one said that he would be the manager of a tobacco company. Could it be a big bear? It's even more impossible.

"The new manager of the tobacco company is named Yang Biao, the glasses man you mentioned to me before."

"Glasses man!" Hearing Rockefeller say the name of the man with glasses, my jaw almost didn't drop, how could he be called the manager of a tobacco company? Isn't he an official of the Cabinet of Ministers on the island?

"You're not mistaken, are you? How did he become the manager of a tobacco company? He doesn't know Count Soros either, huh? I asked Rockefeller, puzzled.

"He's right, I'm officially the manager of a tobacco company now." As we spoke, the man in glasses suddenly walked in front of us.

Looking at the expressionless face of the man in glasses, my face was clouded, and I asked him: "Isn't the tobacco company the property of Count Soros?" How did you become the manager of this company? ”

The man with glasses said lightly: "It used to be the property of Count Soros, but now it's not, you may not know it, Duke Jackson has bought this tobacco company from Count Soros and appointed me as the manager of the company." ”

"Duke Jackson?" I was even more shocked that Duke Jackson had bought the tobacco company?

Looking at my incredulous face, the man with glasses said proudly: "Why don't you believe it?" If you don't believe me, you can ask the Duke for yourself. ”

"I'm a little unconvinced, why would the Duke do this?"

"Why can't the Duke do that? He can lend you money to build a rum distillery, but you can't buy this tobacco company? ”

Early in the morning when I heard such unbelievable news, my already sober head instantly became a mess, and I really couldn't understand which play the Duke was singing.

After spending some time at the winery, I hurried to the Governor's Palace, and when I met James, I asked him straight to the point: "How did Yang Biao become the manager of the tobacco company?" ”

While dealing with the official document in his hand, James replied nonchalantly: "What's wrong? Any questions? ”

"Isn't he an official of the island cabinet? Did imperial law allow officials to engage in business? Aren't you afraid that there is corruption of power in this? ”

"Power corrupts? I don't understand what you mean, and besides, Yang Biao is not a cabinet official now, he has already submitted his resignation yesterday. ”

"He resigned?"

"Yes, I was just as shocked as you when I first started when I received my resignation yesterday afternoon, but the tobacco company was bought by Duke Jackson, and the appointment of Yang Biao as the manager of the tobacco company was also decided by Lord Duke himself, so I don't bother to ask. In addition, as a partner, I can also reveal to you an important piece of information, which the Duke has decided before coming to Paradise Island. James put down the official document in his hand, stood up and stretched, and continued: "After the abolition of slavery, there are many new problems on the island that need to be dealt with urgently, and if I had not held the position of governor, I would have resigned. By the way, there's another message that I'm trying to inform you that your friend has been arrested. ”

"My friend has been arrested?" I was shocked again, what's going on today? Why is my friend restless? I asked, "Which of my friends has been arrested?" ”

"It's called Big Bear, right? Grow tall and strong. ”

"Big Bear? Isn't this grandson supposed to work and weave with Sister Tina? How can you catch a good guy? I asked James, "Why were you arrested?" Where are the people locked up now? ”

"That friend of yours had a little conflict with a few people yesterday afternoon, and he didn't suffer a loss because he was tall and tall, but those people were not reconciled, and took advantage of the fire at night to light his simple shed."

"What!" When I heard that the big bear had been set on fire and the improvised shed had been set on fire, my heart suddenly hung in the air, and I eagerly asked, "What about then?" Is Big Bear okay? ”

"He's fine, but then he beat the people who set the fire to serious injuries, one of them is quite seriously injured, and he was sent to the clinic last night for rescue, and now it's not clear whether he is dead or alive, all in all, he is a big deal."

Hearing that there was nothing wrong with the bear himself, my hanging heart relaxed.

"According to you, you can't blame Big Bear for this, right? Someone wanted to set fire to his house, and he beat others to serious injuries in a fit of rage, which was at best over-defensive. ”

"Overdefensive?" James looked at me and smiled, "Why do you always have words out of your mouth that people don't understand?" What does it mean to be over-defensive? ”

"Excessive defense is when one's own safety is threatened, because you have to protect yourself, so you have to fight back, but the strength of the counterattack is a little too strong. Legally, this is definitely a little legal responsibility, but it should not be resentenced. ”

"Oh, I see, but I'm sorry to tell you that the Empire doesn't have such laws. If your friend injures someone and beats one of them half to death, this must be punished severely, and if that person is not rescued in the end, then your friend will be even more troublesome, and he will be sentenced to at least 100 years. ”

"A hundred years? What is the difference between this and the death penalty? What kind of bullshit laws are these? I was a little angry and said, "What about the people who set the fire?" Aren't they also premeditated murders? ”

"Han Dong, I have to remind you, although you and I are partners, but also pay attention to your words and deeds, do you know, you blatantly slander the laws of the empire, I can directly arrest you! Don't forget who you are! ”
