When they heard from the banquet that there was gold buried in their ground, the inhabitants of the town's slums went crazy.

"Alovia, whether that thing is true or not, maybe it was just the young man's casual nonsense. The slum dwellers gathered around in shock as the only slum representative who had ever attended the feast.

Alovia was a little unsure. "I'm sure I heard what the young man said, and Count Cafu denied it, but I don't think the young man would have said it for no reason. ”

The inhabitants of the slum were silent, their faces filled with joy and doubt, it was gold, and if there was gold, it would be much more precious than a spacious and bright house.

A spacious and bright house is worth only a thousand Caesars, but a gold mine is far more valuable than those ones, and even if the former Earl Cafu was a great good man and did many good deeds, this slim hope also made them doubt Count Cafu's motives.

In the face of temptation, there is little left of one's trust that will be undermined.

"Well, before we do that, we have to get as accurate information as possible. "They don't want to lose the opportunity to live in a big and bright house, or to lose the possibility of getting gold.

Arovia was embarrassed. "But where do we get more reliable information?"

Soon, the problem was solved, and over the next few days, rumors began to spread in the town that there was a huge gold mine beneath the town's slums.

And the initiator is Forster, who has nothing left, as a former government functionary, his words still have some credibility, this is Downing's plan.

In the tavern, Foster drunkenly talks to the drunkards around him. "Yes, I've seen some insider stories when I was working in the government, and I'm sure there's a huge gold mine under the slums, and I've heard the mayors and some people talk about it. ”

The drunkards were idle, idle, and they were most eager to listen to the gossip, and soon the news spread from the mouths of the drunkards to more people, such as a brothel in the town.

The fireflies there heard the news from the drunkards, and then told the customers who came to the door, and spread it ten, ten, and hundred, and the whole town was very good at it.

"Have you heard, there's a gold mine in the slums, a gold mine, and that's a lot of money. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, it's just that someone is jealous of the great good man Count Cafu, and Count Cafu must have been avenged by some enemy. ”

"This news has come from some of the top echelons of the government, good people, come on, who would be foolish enough to give their earned gold to the untouchables in the slums, this must be true, and Count Cafu must have received the news from the government to do so. ”

Obviously, the news has changed in the course of transmission, but it does not affect the impact that Cafu's reputation has suffered.

Sitting at home at the moment, Kafu's face was ugly. "Damn, this must be the young man behind the scenes, and if this continues, my good reputation will be ruined by this rumor. ”

Director Tambol disagrees. "Mr. Cafu, my man told me that the young man had been staying in the hotel and seldom going out, and that he was indeed a member of a certain family, and that his family badge had been checked by my men, and that there would be no problem. ”

Cafu was driven crazy by the rumors and couldn't keep his composure. "You've got to get to an end to this thing quickly, or I'll be ruined completely. ”

Tambol made a neck wiping motion, waiting for Count Cafu's response.

"Idiot, don't you think it's too big to kill him, you said that he comes from a big family, and it will cause a bigger disaster when the time comes, and I can't afford it. ”

Earl Cafu yelled, and Director Tambol was a little embarrassed.

"Then what do you say, and I will do as you tell me. ”

The matter must be brought to an end as soon as possible, and the Earl of Cafu was silent for a moment, and said with some reluctance, "Bring the young man to my quarters, and I will have a good talk with him." ”

Tambol saluted respectfully. "I'll bring him to you, rest assured. ”

Count Cafu could not afford the slightest mistake now, and he had to be careful enough, lest it cause even greater gossip, which would be even more detrimental to him.

"No, I will personally send an invitation to my residence, what your sheriff's department needs to do is to find out his accomplice, he has not gone out, there will definitely be accomplices to spread rumors for him. ”

When Director Tambol left, Count Cafu fell into deep thought, what did this young man want, did he know about the slums, so he planned to taste a little sweetness, if this was the case, Count Cafu was ready, take out a part of the benefits to share with others, let this young man shut up, it is much better than the current bad situation, sometimes there are some trade-offs, he does not want his years of business to come to naught.

In a small room in the hotel, Downing was lying on the bed.

"I've done what you said, and I think it won't be long before the sheriff's office will arrest me and dispose of me for gossiping, and I'll be in jail at that time. ”

Foster was terrified by what he was doing these days, but he had no choice but to stand in the room with fear on his face. "I've been targeted, and I can feel that it's not alarmist. ”

Downing got up from the bed, walked up to Foster, and patted Foster on the shoulder. "Don't be afraid, Foster, if they really want to do this, you're probably in prison right now, and they're not stupid enough to do that. ”

Foster looked at Downing suspiciously.

Obviously, this former government clerk can't understand the power of it, Tang Ning explained: "As the initiator of spreading this news, they will never embarrass you, they hope that you are alive and well, only in this way, people will doubt the authenticity of this news, if you are missing, then people will be more convinced, it must be because the news is true, so you were killed." ”

Foster suddenly realized. "So I'm not in danger?"

"I'm sure you've never been so safe, so you can rest assured. Downing comforted the little man who had been carrying fear. "You can try to move around in front of a large crowd, it will make you safer. ”

Fossette nodded, relieved.

"By the way, what are the people in the ghetto doing?" Downing asked.

Foster was speaking too calmly at the moment. "They sent someone to find me, and they spent ten Caesars like me to buy more accurate information, and now they have started digging. After a moment's hesitation, Foster cautiously asked, "Is there really a gold mine under the slums?"

The Earl of Cafu had been his idol, a great good man, and though he had done so out of desperation, he still had some difficulty believing that his idol was a greedy and despicable villain, who had taken away the gold mines belonging to the poor in the name of charity.

Downing shook his head and smirked. "Foster, it doesn't matter if there is a gold mine under that land, but there must be something in that land that costs Cafu hundreds of big houses, take a good look, it won't be long before he leaks out. ”
