Chapter 33. Stand and stand
Zhou Jinru said he didn't care: "It's an extraordinary time, and I'm a stranger, and they have the right to be suspicious." ”
"Thanks, find a seat down, it's time for a meeting."
William smiled wryly, their enemies were in a meeting, and they were going to have a meeting, which seemed to be a Victorian tradition, slowing down the efficiency.
The meeting was convened by a young nobleman whom Zhou Jinru did not know, and after only saying two words, he handed over the leadership to William, and it was impossible to see that a police chief had such great power, and it seemed that the dozen or so nobles gathered here were willing to believe him.
"William has Aslan blood in him, he is a nobleman, and he is the only person here who can have anything to do with the royal family."
Kelsey sat on Zhou Jinru's left hand side, and she turned her head sideways to explain that today's lynx was the same as last night, wearing a handsome formal suit, combing her hair to the sides, which was really ...... Not bad.
A trace of the scent of shampoo drilled into his nose, Zhou Jinru had no intention of listening to William's speech, and looked at Kelsey's side face with uneagerness, I have to say that her posture is a guarantee of turning back wherever she goes.
"You're not interested?"
Kelsey also noticed the change in Zhou Jinru, and immediately sat up straight, no longer so close.
Zhou Jinru shook his head and hugged his arms, in this group, he really only had contact with William, and William said that he trusted him, but it was impossible to invest enough trust, in other words, it was not the time yet.
A young nobleman spoke: "...... In fact, my family is trying to figure out how to move supplies from other mobile cities, and it takes time for the convoy to be on the road. ”
The aristocratic man named Arizona stood up: "We must first deal with the enemy who is deepening their control over the city, I believe that more companions are waiting to echo, and it is the right choice to rescue His Majesty the King." ”
Zhou Jinru looked at Kelsey: "Do you think he is right?" ”
"The whole territory of Victoria does not know about the great changes in Lentinium, as long as the king is here, he can immediately blow the horn of a counterattack, do you have other ideas?"
Zhou Jinru smiled: "I have an idea that none of them will agree with." ”
The corners of his mouth grinned, revealing a murderous aura.
"You ......"
"It's useless, they won't listen."
Zhou Jinru is not a nobleman, not even a Victorian, in his eyes, instead of taking a few chips to the table, it is better to take out the revolver and shoot the gamblers on the opposite side, taking advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness, directly flip the table, and kill those guys who try to use the rules to gain an advantage.
He doesn't care what the nobles are, and he doesn't care what the nobles think.
But William cared, and the old nobles gathered here cared.
They set up the rules, and they care.
But the new nobles who have obtained huge benefits don't care at all, otherwise they won't arrest the royal family, and they can't care less, they must act like they care very much.
In Zhou Jinru's eyes, there are only four ridiculous words, which should be and stand.
Kelsey said softly, "You have a lot of murderous energy. ”
"Don't say that, I haven't killed a few people."
In fact, Zhou Jinru suspected that these ruthless thoughts came from the 004 defender, and under the influence of the other party, he also began to become cold.
After the exchange of several nobles, William rubbed his eyebrows tiredly and amplified his voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, we are gathered here today, and we must have an answer, because there will be a good opportunity in two or three days, and if we miss it, our situation will be even more difficult." ”
"According to what I have heard, several warehouses near Burlington Market are about to be emptied, and the stockpilers are already selling grain at five times the market price, and they must have stockpiled a large amount of grain, which will greatly improve our chances of victory."
"Count Arizona, I can't agree with you, businessmen violate the rules of the market, and it should be solved by law, and we should not be lynched."
"Did you say that the new nobles who are discussing what to do with His Majesty the King are following the rules?"
The hot-tempered Earl scolded sharply, and the other party was speechless.
William didn't express his opinion, kept rubbing his eyebrows, and he spoke: "Friends, I met a new friend on the way here, maybe some people know, maybe no one knows, he is the famous Colombian explorer Thomas Courtman, code name Mr. Four, about the question of food, what do you think, Mr. Four?" ”
At first there were curious glances, but when William spoke of Colombia, most of the curious glances turned to undisguised disdain and faint distantness.
Zhou Jinru leaned back and glanced at the dozen or so nobles present, including young and beautiful ladies, handsome and dashing men, well-dressed young people, and mature and steady old men.
"Guys, even if we're here from the morning to the curfew, we can't solve the real problem, and with every minute and second of time passing, our chances of winning are decreasing, in other words, we are rushing for time, not continuing to waste time.
I have only one opinion on those merchants who hoard grain, and when dealing with these people, we must distinguish between those who are our friends and who are our enemies, and for our friends, we must consolidate their positions, and for our enemies, we must use strong measures. ”
That's all he had to say, and he stopped.
The merchants who can be called in Lentinium have the platforms of the major nobles behind them, no matter what they do, offending them is certain, because it is more difficult to touch the interests than to touch the soul, not to mention the price increase of five times, even if it is ten times, a hundred times, as long as they can seek greater benefits, they will do it, even if the sword is added afterwards.
"I think Mr. Four is right, it was those nobles who were behind the investigation who immediately arranged for the investigation, and now the meeting is temporarily adjourned."
The nobles exchanged heads, some secretly looked at Mr. Four, and some cast wary glances.
William drank a glass of water, walked up to Zhou Jinru, and said in a low voice, "Let's talk." ”
Zhou Jinru said to Kelsey beside him: "Lost company." ”
He followed the Liboli, and both stood in front of a portrait of the king at the end of the room, neither of them speaking.
After a long time, William said weakly: "Mr. Four, how much hope do you think we have?" ”
"Before today, I thought there were 30%, but now ......"
He made a gesture, and William was surprised: "Fifty percent? ”
Judging from the content of the meeting, there was already a disagreement among the nobles, which was a devastating blow to the whole plan, and I believe that many people began to doubt whether it would succeed.
At this time, Mr. Four also gave a fifty percent possibility, which William really didn't expect.
