Chapter 35. Walk in the snow 1

Huron took a few deep breaths, strained his face, and pushed the door in expressionlessly, and the cell of the chief police station was empty, holding two people, one Victorian and the other not Victorian.

The chief looked at the chief, as if he had not seen the kettle dumped on the side of the road, and his subordinates immediately walked over and opened the door of the Colombian's cell.

Huron barely managed to squeeze out a smile: "Mr. Courtman, I think there is a little misunderstanding between us, I hope this will not affect your journey in Victoria." ”

Zhou Jinru didn't deliberately embarrass him, and then walked out of the cell: "So, I can go?" ”

"Yes, everything was a misunderstanding."

"Well, where is the nearest clinic, my face, hiss, needs to be treated, according to my experience of exploration, if the wound is not handled carefully, it will die of infection and gangrene, and even more terrible is tetanus, there is no cure."

Huron stared at the Colombian's blue and purple face, which he had hit, and now he wanted to punch again, but he had to hold back.

"Mr. Courtman, this is my personal compensation to you, it's late today, and if you go to the clinic again, it will be a hassle after curfew."

You bastard, you'd better lose track of time and get caught after curfew!

Huron took out his wallet, took out a few gold pounds and handed them to Zhou Jinru.

"I'm so embarrassed, I fell on my own, and it has nothing to do with you, Chief Huron."

Zhou Jinru said kind words in his mouth, and his hand was not polite at all to pull the banknote from Huron, he put on his top hat and walked a few steps, and suddenly exclaimed: "Oops, not good! ”

What's wrong with it?

Huron felt his anger rise up, but he couldn't get angry yet, and said amicably, "Does Mr. Courtman need any help?" ”

"I'm so embarrassed, it's my first time in Lentinium, I don't know much about the environment, it's so late, I don't know if I can catch the city bus, in case it's past the curfew."

Huron said gently, "...... Don't worry, I've arranged for a carriage from the police station and the officers will take you back to your temporary residence. ”

Send this bastard away!

If he doesn't send him away, Huron thinks he'll lose a few years of life!

"Thank you, you guys are such nice people, thank you."

Zhou Jinru thanked him and followed the police out of the cell, and the dramatic scene stunned Joel, there is still such a thing?

It wasn't until Mr. Four left that he discovered one thing, Huron just let Mr. Four from Colombia go, and he was still locked in a cell!

"What should I do?"

Do you want to spend the night in a police cell?

The owner of the Dream Castle eagerly grabbed the iron fence gate, shook it violently a few times, and shouted: "I was the one who was beaten, why don't you let me go?!" ”

Huron's face turned pale, and he said coldly: "Disrupting official business, drinking and endangering the lives of others, detention for five days." ”

I can't do anything about Colombians, and I can't clean up you Victorian?

Joel was dumbfounded, he was beaten for nothing, and he had to squat in the class room.

Huron politely sent Mr. Four away, giving money and sending a carriage to transfer him, but when it was his turn, he became a cold iron window, and the differential treatment before and after almost didn't make him angry.

By this time, Huron had finally felt better, relieved his irritable mood, and when he came to the office hall, he saw a nobleman in a top hat looking at him, so he walked forward and asked softly, "Sir, how can I help you?" ”

"Oh, hello, how do you go through the bail procedures?"

Bail?

A sense of foreboding crossed Huron's mind.

"I have a friend who is being held here because of some misunderstanding, and I'm here to bail him out."

"You're here alone?"

"My butler and servants were in the back, and I was more anxious, so I came first, and this is my business card."

Huron took the card of the Victorian aristocracy, and the man standing in front of him was the Earl of Arizona in Toronshire.

……

On the way back, Zhou Jinru lifted the curtain of the carriage, and a snowflake floated in, landed on the window edge, and quickly melted into water marks.

It's snowing, the temperature is low, and it's still dropping, and it's going to be very hard to get anywhere without heating today, and with the lack of food, I don't know how many people will spend it hungry and cold.

The missing 100 years are not reflected in reality, it is still 1080, nearly 20 years after the era of Rhode Island.

It is hard to imagine that the capital of Victoria, the rich and glorious Lentinium, could have fallen into such a situation.

Zhou Jinru's eyes were deep, and the cold wind blew on his face like a knife, causing bursts of pain from the irritating bruises.

I don't know how long it had been, but it was dark, and the carriage slowly stopped on the side of the road, apparently having arrived at the station.

"Thank you, you deserve it."

Zhou Jinru took out a gold pound and handed it to the police officer who was driving the car, who was red from the cold and accepted the money gratefully.

He then walked to the apartment and saw the fat figure of the landlord, Carl, at the door.

"Hey, Mr. Four, I thought you were going to spend the night outside today...... Was that the police station's carriage just now? ”

"Yes, there was a little accident today, but fortunately it's not a big problem, let's go in."

Carl frowned, it was not a good thing for Mr. Four to mix with the people from the police station, and he didn't dare to ask more.

Zhou Jinru lifted the warm curtain and drilled into the doorway, and a warm air came to his face, mixed with the aroma of food, which made his hungry stomach gurgle.

"What's dinner today?"

"Pea stew with lamb, pancakes, and a little cream cake for dessert."

The person who responded to him was the old gentleman, who had changed his clothes today, and his whole person looked full of bookish atmosphere.

Zhou Jinru walked over and found that the old gentleman was drafting a manuscript, and asked curiously, "What are you writing?" ”

"An adventure story with the main character's name Thomas Courtman."

"Wow!"

Zhou Jinru was taken aback: "You are still a family?" ”

"If I really had the status and status of home, I wouldn't be here now, I'm a Gaul, and they all call me Auguste, Augustus the gunner."

"Gunslinger?"

The old gentleman took off his gold-rimmed glasses and rubbed the bridge of his nose: "I'm not Sakota, I don't know how to use firearms, but I often write for others and make a living from it, so I'm called a gunman." ”

It turns out that the land of Terra already has this kind of profession?

"How can I help?"

"Maybe there will be, but not right now, I'm going to sort out my thoughts."

After dinner, Zhou Jinru did not see Kelsey or the little girl Roshan, and he returned to the room amid the quarrel between Carl and his son.

When she opened the door, the lamp was on, and the monk was writing, and she never went down.

"Aren't you hungry?"

"I've eaten it."

Kelsey's bland words made Zhou Jinru at a loss, and he realized that she was not a riddler now.

"Kelsey, you're always so busy, you never want to rest much."

The tip of the pen hovered over the paper, and the lynx turned its head: "You know me well?" ”

"I don't dare to say it, but after getting along for a while, I know that you are a workaholic, and this will not be false."

She put down her pen and rolled up her sleeves: "Sit down over there." ”

Zhou Jinru obediently sat on the edge of the sofa and watched as the woman took out the medical kit from the suitcase, and then gently treated the scars on his face with cotton swabs and alcohol.

"Why don't you use medical spells?"

"Don't be superstitious about medical spells, sometimes it doesn't work that well."

Zhou Jinru could smell the fragrance on Kelsey's body, and even wanted to reach out and hug her.

"Kelsey, you're so charming."

"Did you drink too much?"

"You just let me drink too much."

Zhou Jinru smiled and asked again, "How did you investigate?" ”

Kelsey looked him in the eye and replied for a long time: "Those nobles were not worried that the royal family would stay in Little Lentinium, so they transferred their detention positions overnight, and now they are housed in a church, there are many guards nearby, and there are even unknown dragoons, William's chances of victory are very small, almost negligible." ”

But the odds of winning before this man were fifty percent, and William began to doubt himself.

"It's not like it's five now."

Zhou Jinru shook his head.

Knock, knock, knock.

There was a knock at the door, and Kelsey walked over to open it, only to find it William, who they had been discussing a minute earlier.

William nodded to the monk, then walked into the room and asked as soon as he spoke, "Mr. Four, were you comforting me before?" ”

Zhou Jinru folded his hands: "You don't have confidence in yourself?" ”

As you have seen this morning, William received written documents from several nobles announcing their withdrawal, in other words, they are really fighting alone now.

William said firmly: "Even if I can't succeed, I won't give up." ”

"Mr. William, I have only one question, can you answer me?"

"Please."

"The rest of the people who are still standing with you, will you believe them?"

William's expression was serious: "We have spontaneously united for the sake of our king, and there is no way back to get to this point." ”

Zhou Jinru nodded: "Okay, after today's incident, I give you so many odds." ”

He made a gesture, and William's face changed: "Why?" ”

Mr. Four's right hand is impressively "six", that is, it is one percent more than in the morning, and now it is sixty percent.

"Although our numbers have decreased, our strength has increased."

"I don't understand."

Zhou Jinru tilted his head: "It's snowing outside now." ”

William didn't speak.

"Go back to sleep, there's new news tomorrow morning."

After sending William away, Zhou Jinru found that he still had to face Kelsey, and the lynx looked at him and said lightly: "This is why you were beaten by Huron?" ”

"Because I'm a Colombian, that's why, maybe Huron will cover the lid, but those new aristocrats behind him definitely don't want to make a difference, from me, you will find secret gatherings, they don't care about secret meetings, but they can't care about a potential crisis, but at the same time an opportunity."

"You ......"

Zhou Jinru showed a mouthful of white teeth: "Because there is a big crisis in front of everyone, William can't solve it, but the new nobles can solve it, and they will do their best, but as long as it starts operating, there will be loopholes." ”

The secret assembly thought that the hungry and cold citizens would be a help, and it so happened that the new nobles thought so.

"Go to sleep, we'll know the outcome tomorrow."

……

Early the next morning, Zhou Jinru woke up from his sleep and found that Kelsey beside him had already gotten up first.

It was too cold at night, and he was a stove again, and the lynx reluctantly slept on the other side of the double bed, of course, they didn't do anything, because Zhou Jinru had fallen asleep early.

When the curtain was lifted, the sight was covered in snow.

There was a lot of snow last night.

It didn't take long for William to knock on the door directly and said eagerly: "The new nobles have collected some food overnight and are distributing it to citizens who have no food all over the city, we are one step late!" ”

"It's not late, it's just right."

Zhou Jinru put on a black coat and gestured with his right hand: "It's seventy percent now." ”

He hurried out the door, the Earl of Arizona and Joel were on the first floor, and their arrival made the landlord Carl uneasy.

"Did you sleep well last night? Earl of Arizona. ”

Zhou Jinru's greeting did not make Mr. Earl relax, and he hurriedly said, "We must do something!" ”

"Of course, we'll definitely do it," Zhou Jinru looked at Kelsey, "Monk, do me a favor." ”

"What do you want to do?"

"Count Arizona, borrow a wagon for hay, monk, and beg you to be my coachman."

The carriage arrived half an hour later, and after lifting the tarp, Zhou Jinru lay on the haystack, covered his face with a top hat, and let the snowflakes fall on his body.

"Monk, please go to the nearest food distribution point."

Seeing the hay cart leave, William's expression was complicated, and he muttered, "So that's the case, but why does he dare to do this?" ”

"What, what are you talking about?!"

Joel also had a gloomy look: "Arizona, can't you see, there was a problem with yesterday's secret meeting, and there were people who opposed us moving grain merchants. ”

"I know, but what's that?"

"It's all because of Cousinman's words, if even I would be scared, that someone immediately provided information to the police station at halftime, that's why Huron came so quickly!"

When he said this, Joel showed a chill on his face: "As we all know, our civil servants are so inefficient, yesterday they were still selling food at five times the price, and this morning they started distributing food for free, is it so efficient, is it reasonable?" Ha! Because our enemies are afraid! ”

William slammed his fist on the door frame: "Quick! Gather our people, the opportunity is just around the corner! The enemy is rushing for time, and we are also rushing for time! ”

"I'll go now!"

The Earl of Arizona didn't quite understand, but he knew that the judgment of the two companions would not be wrong.

The three men went in different directions and disappeared into the snow for the sake of their ideals.

……

It was snowing heavily, and a wagon was struggling to walk through the snow, and the snowflakes fell on the shoulders of the monk who drove the cart, while the man lying on the haystack seemed to be asleep.

"You've guessed this for a long time, right?"

Her words were blown away in the wind.

Under the top hat, the corners of Zhou Jinru's mouth outlined a wonderful curve.
