"Langes, your accountant is good, your brain is flexible, if you can follow the right people, you will develop greatly in the future. ”

Hearing Bill's praise of himself, the accountant was even happier in his heart, and the boss of Langus blushed and quickly slapped the accountant on the back of the head.

"I still need to talk too much, of course I know that starting a factory requires a lot of investment!"

"Bill, just ask me what you need us to do for you, we're old friends, and you know how much I have. ”

The boss of Langes put away the management manual with a smile, he was not yet stunned by Bill's arrival, and knew that he was not a manager at all.

The surrounding young men in bib pants and plumber costumes also relaxed, exhaled secretly, and sat back on the dirty floor.

"Heh, there's something I want you to help me with. ”

Pale golden eyes narrowed into slits, and Bill showed a faint smile, but it was creepy.

"Have you ever heard of the Folford Steam Car Manufacturing Company?"

......

1734 was not destined to be a quiet year.

In addition to the impact of the Spring Revolution on the world, various countries are also ready to move, vying to develop their own scientific and technological and military strength, in an attempt to compete with the Normans for the status of world hegemon.

Shawe was locked up in the cage he hated the most, looking out the window at the leaves drifting in the wind, still thinking about Erwin's situation.

The most important thing is, of course, to care about whether Erwin has received valuable information.

Shawei had been confined to his home for more than a week, and the housekeeper could take care of everything he needed in his bedroom, except that he could not take half a step out of the room, so he could only keep up with current events by flipping through the newspaper.

At this moment, he was slumped on the bed with a stubble on his face, a cigar between the index and middle fingers of his right hand, shaking his legs, and a newspaper in his hand.

Humming an out-of-tune melody in his mouth, Shawei flicked his cigarette ash to the floor as he read the newspaper, and on the bedside table there were still warm charcoal-grilled Zemansi sausages and beer, all he could reach.

"Damn Zemansi, they should put the whole country into the factories where the whole country is sausage and brewing beer, so that the world will be clean!"

As he spoke, Savoy swallowed the sausage in one gulp, his cheeks were lifted by the sausage, he chewed the meat without any image, and poured a large sip of beer with a refreshing sound.

"However, the capitalists in China have also begun to fight among themselves, which is a joy to hear, and the scandal of a car company like Folford has also been exposed to the scandal of arrears of workers' wages and violence against potential customers, and their supervisors have a hole in their brains?"

"I don't know ......"

"Hmph, I don't know what happened to the fuck-out factory that caused me to be fired, a natural peeper, a water rat from the bottom of society who has no moral integrity!"

Sha Wei scolded viciously, and after scolding, he felt empty in his heart, put down the newspaper in his hand again, and slowly took out a copy from another stack of newspapers.

These newspapers were specially prepared by the housekeeper for Shawei, and since there will be serials in each issue of the newspaper, he likes to save a lot of money to read together later, after all, chasing more is too hard for readers.

I also have to face the troubles of the guards and the eunuchs.

The pile of newspapers in front of him was published by a newspaper he was more familiar with, and he still had a relationship with this newspaper.

No, that's not accurate, he has a deep connection with some hateful resigned employee of this newspaper.

"The newspaper of the new editor, hehe, is probably also the licking dog of the new government, after all, they are the main force when criticizing the aristocracy. ”

Starting from the January issue of this year, he quickly found a serial story he liked, and after reading the serial, he quickly skimmed through it again, scoffing at celebrity gossip.

It was only when he saw the latest issue of the newspaper that he gradually noticed that the style of the weekly newspaper was different from other newspapers.

Because judging by the recent issues of the newspaper, the editors of the new editorial office have almost abandoned reporting on current affairs and politics, and instead focused on the promotion of high-end brands and tried to define trendy fashion.

This made Sha Wei feel fresh, after all, it was the first time he had seen this kind of article, as an excellent aristocrat, with his taste, he could see the intention of the advertorial at a glance.

"Haven't wool coats been trending lately, wide-legged pants seem to feel good on the body, so I can go to this specialty store next time. ”

"Henry's latest mechanical watch turned out to be this style worn on the hand, it seems that people will be laughed at when they go out and use the pocket watch in the future, but is the calfskin strap really wearable......"

After carefully checking the "Weekly News" issue in the period after the corpse crushing case, Sawei is like a woman who is addicted to shopping, for fear that she will be left behind by the trend.

Half an hour later, when he threw the newspaper on the bed, he remembered the cold face again, and his heart began to be inexplicably irritable.

"Why on earth did he send the photos of the shredding of the corpse to the major newspapers, is it really to stop me from continuing to investigate the affairs of that world?"

"But the newspaper of the new editorial office doesn't seem to mention the corpse mutilation case......

"Wait!"

Sha Wei suddenly bounced up from the bed, quickly grabbed the "Weekly News" he had just read, and rummaged through all the newspapers of the new editor's office back and forth, but really did not find a single photo of the scene of the corpse shredding case and the follow-up report.

Its transformation began the day after the shredding of the corpse, completely departing from its previous style.

Shawe walked around the room with his slippers on, his finger on his chin and thoughtful, recalling the events of that time and the last two encounters with Bill......

"It's strange, Bill and I did go to the new editor the day after we left the Oriental restaurant, and the street patrol officers wouldn't lie to me, didn't he go to deliver the latest and most exciting news to the new editor?"

"And the news I heard was that the new editorial office was facing closure due to the boss's illness and resting at home, and they urgently needed a piece of news to tide over the difficulties......"

"The new editor is kind to Bill, didn't Bill use the information from the corpse shredding case to help the new editor?"

Sha Wei suddenly felt that he had found a very critical problem, and he quickly flipped through the newspapers of other magazines, many of which published columns talking about the corpse mutilation case, and the publication time was just the day after the corpse mutilation case.

"The Weekly News did not print any additional newspapers on the second day of the mutilation, and the new editor's newspaper was not published in the days when the mutilation was in full swing. ”

"If Bill is going to use the news of the shredding case to help the new editors tide over the situation, it seems that he shouldn't let other newspapers get this exclusive report......

Thinking of the scene of breaking into Bill's villa that day, Shawei's face turned red unconsciously, and he felt that he would never have the face to see that man again.

"I should have thought that when I found out that Mr. Kerton was the real culprit in the corpse mutilation case, I should have thought that it was actually Mr. Kerton himself who took the picture. ”

Presumably, he put pressure on the police department to amplify the impact of the mutilation, and at the same time got the church involved, blaming the church's most hated infidels, and getting a huge amount of insurance money for his wife and daughter after clearing his name. ”

"That's why he disappeared secretly, but why did he show up in Brittus again and go to the bank to get the money?"

Shawei was once again in a state of confusion, and for a week he could not eat or sleep well, and could only numb himself with junk food, alcohol and tobacco.

And after figuring out that Bill wasn't the one who caused him to be locked up at home, Shawe seemed to regain his energy.

He was just about to ring the bell to find a servant to clean up the room, when the lock suddenly clicked open, and the tuxedo butler quietly walked into Shawei's bedroom, without commenting on the room, not even squinting at Shawei and beyond the ground.

"Young Master Shawei, please clean up, the old man asked you to go downstairs to have lunch together at noon today. ”

"Got it, get me dressed. ”

Sha Wei put away all the casualness, even in slippers and underwear in front of the subordinates, he had to show majesty, this is the proudest self-esteem of the nobility.

With the help of the maid, Shawei put on a delicate purple silk shirt, black suit pants, and a red and white polka-dotted bow tie, and soon regained his aristocratic dress and imposingness.

When the butler knocked on the door again, he was ready to walk out of the bedroom and go downstairs.

The wool carpets and bronze sculptures in the hallway exude simplicity and nobility, and the sunlight shines through the windows at the end of the corridor into the villa, and the dust in the air is clearly visible.

Shawe walked down the stairs with steady steps, behind him two rows of servants, and on the side hung portraits of the heads of the Stafford family, all dressed in different hairstyles and with some resemblance to Shawei.

From these eerily quiet portraits, it can be seen that none of the Ladies of Stafford have done anything to be sorry for Stafford.

They came to the dining room on the first floor, where the old Marquis de Stafford was cutting a small lamb chop with a knife and fork at the top of the rectangular table, with a white handkerchief tied around his neck.

Except for the old Marquis de Stafford, there was no one else dining in the restaurant.

"Father, are you looking for me?"

"You have been too slack during this time, your sister and brother-in-law have already finished eating and left, and you have changed into decent clothes to come out to meet people. ”

After receiving criticism from the old Marquis de Stafford, the rebellion in Shavier's heart rose again, and he tried to pretend that nothing had happened so that he could leave the house as soon as possible.

"I'm sorry father, I'll take care of it later. ”

"Hmph, sit down and eat. ”

Two lumps of air came out of the nostrils of the Marquis de Stafford, and he put a slightly charred lamb chop into his mouth, chewing on his cheeks without showing any emotion.

With only silver candlesticks and two sets of cutlery on the red-lit square tablecloth, Shawe sat opposite the old Marquis de Stafford, the farthest from his father.

The maid quickly asked what he wanted to eat at noon, and he had just finished eating the sausage and beer, and he could only order a cheese mushroom to deal with the old marquis.

While Savoy waited, the old Marquis de Stafford, having finished his meal, wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, and began to get down to business.

"Shawei, I have found you a position in the army, you are now Brittus familiar with the environment of the barracks, and after a while I will find a way to transfer you to the east, where it is far away from the interference of Zemansi, and you can temper it for a few years and then come back. ”

"Now there are new supervision posts everywhere, and you can't act as recklessly in the army as before, and if the inspectors find serious disciplinary violations, even I can't let you stay in the army. ”

The fragrant cheese-roasted mushrooms were presented in front of Sha Wei, and the white eyes were poured from the creamy cheese, but he didn't have any appetite.

"Father, you know that I don't want to go to the army, not to mention the grain warehouse in the east, which is close to the inland sea and has never been in war, and the country is wasting food to keep the Southeast Military Region. ”

"If you have to let me go the path of the military, I hope you can send me to the Northern Military District, which is the best place to get military merits, even if it is from a soldier's beginning!"

"Nonsense!!"

There was a loud bang, and the old Marquis Stafford slammed the table, and the hot coffee in the coffee cup spilled, but no servant dared to come forward to clean it up.

"You are my only son, and if you have any missteps, the Stafford family will have to choose excellent children from your uncles' families to pass on to our family!"

"Do you want to see that kind of picture?"

"That's fine, you ...... anyway"

Sha Wei lowered his head and muttered quietly, and the butler quickly walked over to Sha Wei and coughed lightly, pouring him hot coffee in an attempt to drown his voice.

"Anyway, during this time, you should go to work at the Brittus garrison base first, and I will arrange the rest, Zemansi doesn't have to worry about those things. ”

The old Marquis de Stafford's words were still resolute, and he got up and left the table and chair, but he still saw the displeasure in Shawey's eyes.

Before turning to leave the dining room, the old Marquis de Staffords stopped at the door of the dining room and said without looking back.

“...... When you are truly capable of taking over the Stafford family and taking on this responsibility, I will choose to respect your opinion. ”

After saying that, the old Marquis Stafford left with his cane, and Sha Wei looked at his back, and suddenly felt that the old Marquis's straight waist was a little bent, and his hair turned white from the roots, and even the hair dye cream could not stop the gray hair from coming out.

The victorious general, who was the most handsome and high-spirited in Sha Wei's heart, became more and more cautious under the ravages of time, and became a person he didn't even like himself.

Sha Wei turned his head to look at the still steaming cheese mushrooms, and couldn't stop for a long time, but finally sighed, put down the knife and fork in his hand, and turned his head to look at the butler who was still behind him.

"When will I go to serve in the capital garrison, and at what level?"

"Young Master Shawei, you have once had a rank and made meritorious contributions in the army, so although the military rank has decreased slightly compared to before, you can still start as a lieutenant, build a good relationship with the generals this month, and transfer to the Southeast Military Region next month. ”

"You can go to the garrison at any time to take over the position, the lord means to give you a week to prepare, after all, the garrison is no more inconvenient than home. ”

The butler took out a letter of appointment from his bosom, stamped it with the seal of the capital garrison and Stafford, and handed it to Shawei with white-gloved hands.

Shawei resulted in the appointment letter, and suddenly remembered something.

"Since I can go to the garrison at any time to take over, is my grounding also lifted?"

"Yes, Master Shawei, from now on you can go where you want, but there will be someone to protect your safety, so I hope that Master Shawei will not go to dangerous places and let Master worry about you. ”

The butler replied again with a blank look, there was no expression on his face, and his voice was cold, and Sha Wei had nothing to do with this old butler, who was mainly based on his father's orders.

Getting up and going back to his room to change his clothes for going out, Shavay couldn't wait to escape from the prison and look for him at Erwin's detective office.

Regardless of whether anyone was following behind him, he had to see Erwin's face as soon as possible to feel at ease......
