Chapter II High Representatives

The empire does not have shredded shallots, but the empire has duck offal.

After the duck fat is made from the fat under the duck skin, the shredded ginger and chili peppers are thrown into the pot to fry the fragrance, and the cleaned duck offal is thrown into the pot to fry quickly, and the fishy smell is cooked with strong wine, and finally seasoned out of the pot and eaten.

Dussand's vision was perfect.

But the duck fat is made by the servants, the "ginger" is a substitute made from the roots of the plants that grow at the water's edge in Newsal, the peppers come from Orin, the duck offal is cleaned and cut by the maids, and the "stir-frying" and "spirit-cooked" steps are done by the chefs.

Dussaint came up with only one idea the whole time, and then he got a big plate of spicy fried duck offal.

With duck offal in his mouth sandwiched with white bread, Dussander felt that life was actually quite good โ€“ if only he could do it himself.

The holiday had to look like a vacation, and the servants brought loungers, snacks and drinks. Lorraine was lying on her chaise longue and was already a little dazed, while Rosen crouched in front of the oven, staring at the ducks in the oven.

"Don't look at it." Dussaint walked up to Rosen with two cups of iced surrogate tea, handed him a cup of surrogate tea, and said with a smile, "The ducks are in the stove, even if you don't look at them, they won't grow wings and fly away." โ€

Rosen took the drink from Dussander with both hands, took a sip and shook his head, "Master, don't talk about the ducks in the oven, sometimes, even if the duck meat has been eaten in their mouths, they will suddenly grow wings and fly away." โ€

Dusson frowned slightly, "If you have something to say, don't play a puzzle with me here." Your image is not suitable for this set, you know? I always think you're mocking me. โ€

Four years have made a huge difference for both Dusand and Rosen. And this change is particularly evident in Rosen.

It turned out that the little boy who was wearing ill-fitting big scalp shoes, exposed two thin legs, and still had snot on his nose had disappeared unconsciously. Instead, he was a young man at least 1.75 meters tall, with a beard on his face and muscles in his limbs gradually bulging.

The only thing that hasn't changed seems to be Rosen's name for Dussand. No matter how much Dussander tried to persuade him, Rosen still insisted on calling him "master".

"Sir, the people from the police department have been looking for trouble with us." Rosen said with a sad face, "In this month alone, the police department has conducted six spot checks on us, six times!" "Once these grey dogs come, we'll have to stop all the work we're doing." โ€

Speaking of this, Rosen's expression became even more sad, "Those criminals seem to have colluded with the police department, as long as the police department comes to check the random inspection, those merchants and homes that have purchased security services from us will be thieves." It's okay to just pay them damages, but once the company's brand stinks, we will never be able to carry out this kind of business again! โ€

Dusson's brow furrowed, the police department had come to trouble Rosen before, but at the time Dusson didn't think the problem was too big - it was probably just that some new sheriff was ready to take his men to take advantage of it.

But now it seems...... It doesn't taste right.

"Did you send money to the new sheriff?" Dussaint sighed, he really didn't have much time to deal with this matter now.

To be honest, Dussand's own feeling of giving bribes to other people makes him feel very uncomfortable even when he thinks about it. But in the Empire, bribery was indeed the most efficient and least costly means of solving administrative and other difficult problems.

"It's delivered, it's twice as high as the market price." Rosen said with a sad face, "I'll send it once for a check-up, and now I'm going to send 120 gold pounds a week to the police department!" But these insatiable grey dogs have no intention of stopping harassing at all! โ€

Dussaint was a little shocked.

120 gold pounds? As the chief private secretary to the Speaker of the House of Commons, his weekly salary is only two gold pounds!

A sheriff, where did he get such a big appetite?

"He doesn't know you're mine?" Dussander was a little angry, the police department is not new to ask for bribes, but this is also outrageous!

"It's a pity...... Sir, he must know. Rosen sighed, "The sheriff himself told me that even Sir Peel himself would be useless. I have had people go elsewhere to find out that this venerable Sergeant Ursky looks to the other companies as a truly honest and trustworthy gentleman who never accepts any bribes. After seeing the badge you put in my office, he just sneered twice. โ€

Dussand's brows were twisted into pimples, and the other party's actions had obviously risen from "uninteresting" to "provocative" stage. This person didn't even have the interest in pretending, and directly made it clear that the carriage and horse were looking for their own trouble.

That's where it gets interesting...... Dussaint took a deep breath and asked the servant to bring a stack of rafts. After thinking carefully for a moment, he wrote a long list of beautiful flower-style characters on the paper in the tone and writing habits peculiar to the aristocracy.

"Send this letter to the Upper Albin police station and give it to the ......" Dussend glanced back at Rosen, who repeated the other man's name with great interest.

Dussaint nodded with satisfaction, "Yes, just send the letter to this Sergeant Ulsky." โ€

Out of an abundance of caution, Dussaint did not immediately respond to the sheriff with any warnings or threats. The purpose of this letter is simple - to invite the other person to come and talk directly to meet and talk.

His father was a naval colonel, his mother was the Speaker of the House of Commons, and he was the Speaker's chief private secretary. It is impossible for anyone who is familiar with the social system of the empire and has been in the social system of the empire for a long time to ignore these backgrounds and toss them to death by grabbing a company that has not done anything bad at all. In particular, it is impossible to maintain a high-pressure and hostile attitude even after the other party has already paid more than 120 gold pounds a week in bribes.

Gold pounds are a great thing to get the ghost to work hard.

Whether it is out of righteousness or because of personal greed...... This behavior goes far beyond the scope of "reasonable". Dussaint was eager to find out what was wrong with the sheriff's head.

"Your Excellency, Speaker." In the flower hall, a gentleman in a delicate suit bowed to Androni, "May your beauty last forever." โ€

"Mr. Pilson, please be seated." Androni pointed to the seat next to her, poured him a cup of tea, and then said, "You've just been in Newsal, haven't you?" Can you still get used to the climate? โ€

"To be honest, I'm a little uncomfortable with the absence of soot and choking in the air." Pilson sat down with a smile, took the teacup in a gesture that was completely in line with aristocratic etiquette, and said, "I now feel that every breath is a gift from His Majesty the Emperor. โ€

Androni put down her teacup and chimed in sincerely, "Thanks to His Majesty the Emperor. โ€

After chatting for a while about the recent weather, the Empire's theatrical fashion trends, and the latest musicals, Androni first turned to the topic.

"Mr. Plzeลˆ, I think you, as a high-ranking representative of the Imperial Mining Consortium, should have a very important mission to visit Newsar." Androni put down her teacup and asked with a smile, "Is there any place I can help you?" โ€

"Of course, my dear Speaker." Pilson also smiled brightly, he nodded embarrassedly, and then shouted outside the door, "Come in!" โ€

A fat man squeezed into the flower hall with two large leather suitcases, put them on the floor, then took a handkerchief from his pocket and began to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

"Alright, let's get out." Pilsen smiled and waved at the fat man, "Thank you for your help, Mr. Feuerbach." โ€
