Chapter 136: The Rabble (24)

Noble Quarter.

The Farran Mansion.

Several well-dressed intellectuals sat in the lavishly decorated parlor, some of them old and young, their clothes and hair were meticulously arranged, but it could be seen from their serious expressions and the hot tea snacks that had not been touched in front of them that the atmosphere of conversation between the two sides was very heavy at this time.

Sir Fran.

The first to break the peace was Sir Alain, the brown-haired young nobleman who was the first to lose his breath and explain his intentions to the old knight.

We are here today to represent the thoughts and will of all the nobles of Night City.

That's a rarity. The old knight responded indifferently, but I'm afraid the word 'all nobles' is inappropriate, right? Our family is also an aristocracy, does this 'all' also include the idea of our family?

Please don't tell such jokes. Sir Alain's brows jumped slightly, some of Miss Christina's behavior in the ghetto, I don't know if you have heard of it?

Of course I've heard of it. Although the old sir has gray temples, after years of precipitation, his temperament and character are more calm, even in the face of the joint efforts of many nobles, he can still remain indifferent and casual.

That's all? Alain frowned, don't you have any opinion on her behavior?

Christina was a very kind child, and it was normal for her to feel sympathy for the workers who were in a miserable situation and try to help them. In the face of the questioning of the young knight, who was also a nobleman, Sir Fran behaved very indifferently.

But she broke the rules of the nobility! Sir Alain couldn't help but raise her voice, she repeatedly came into contact with those untouchables!

Broken rules? What's the rule broken? Sir Fran smiled, and his tone was neither humble nor arrogant: So, dare to ask Sir Alain, is there a specific clause in the existing laws, regulations, and all the provisions of Night City that does not allow nobles to contact commoner workers?

His tone was very calm, not relying on his old man and title to suppress people, nor was he pressed by the other party's momentum, it seemed that he just calmly and naturally raised the questions in his heart to the other party in an equal way.

Alain froze.

He is not an intellectual aristocrat of the legal profession, and there are very few families in Night City who study this thing, although it is already a common rule among nobles not to treat untouchables as human beings, or even to take the lives of untouchables as their lives, but on the surface, at least in terms of laws and rules, there is no explicit provision for such things.

Sir Fran did not stop there, but seized on this point and continued to expand the offensive.

I don't think either the chairman of the board of directors nor several legal families have promulgated corresponding legal provisions, right? So what's wrong with Christina going to help these poor people?

And the concept of 'one for all, all for one' was left by the first generation of fire bearers, Lord Gwen, and this sentence is still the virtue that all of us fire bearers and all nobles should abide by, and the glory and dignity that we should uphold.

Or are you arrogant enough to deny that Lord Gwen still has the chairman?

The well-dressed and well-behaved old gentleman quietly looked at the stammering Alain and chuckled: Of course, Sir Alain should not have such arrogant ideas, right?

Sir Fran and I spoke in a breezy tone, and with an understatement, I buttoned down a big hat, although this hat was not a dangerous thing for the nobles, but this set of combos was enough to weaken the momentum of the frizzy Alain.

He cast a distressed glance at the nobles who had come with him, but his companions did not say anything when they noticed this gaze, but silently turned their heads away from him.

Any nobleman understands that the vast majority of the terms and conditions formulated by the chairman, whether it is the chairman or other aristocratic families, are not used to protect those untouchables, but

It was used to protect and restrain the nobility....

These terms, laws, and provisions were originally intended to prevent too much internal friction among the nobles, so that the precious power that originally belonged to Night City was exhausted between the nobles' infighting, so they were restrained in this way, but later the chairman relaxed the conditions for the formulation of regulations, so that more nobles also joined in, but some of the laws formulated by these nobles were mostly to ensure their own interests or terms that were beneficial to themselves.

Because the untouchables were so lowly and domesticated as talking animals that the chairman would not care about their life or death, and the nobles could crush a large area with the slightest movement of their fingers, there was no aristocrat who would be bored enough to make a rule that forbade contact with the untouchables.

Moreover, several of Alain's peers of the same age can see that if they jump out at this time, they will be looking for death, so they all look at their noses and noses, and their noses are too empty, so they are silent.

Sir Fran, this would be a very serious accusation, and if there is no evidence, it would be better not to say it. Just when Alain was in a dilemma and no one was willing to help him, an old man who looked about the same age as the old knight spoke, I think Alain was just a momentary gaffe, young people speak frizzy, and it is common for us to be reckless, we as elders will not always worry about a grandchild's child, right?

This old man was Sir Dungal, and Sir Fran was the guy he was most wary of since the group came to visit.

Is the old fox finally unable to sit still?

The old knight scolded secretly in his heart, but on the surface he was still amiable, with a smile on his face: Of course, I, as an elder, will not care about these things with the children of my grandchildren, of course, disciplining the younger generations is also what we elders should do.

Not really.

The two old foxes were yin and yang here, and the business blew each other round, and the one who was hurt the most was Alain, who was the first to come out.

Alan who had been ridiculed for several rounds of his grandson and the giant baby, his face was flushed, if he really didn't understand the yin and yang weird sarcasm of these two people, it was okay, and he would say it, but the problem was that he couldn't understand the sarcasm in his words yet, so he could only listen to the two old men criticize him in humiliation.

Let's get down to business. Dungar stopped taunting Alain and took a sip of the hot tea in front of him, Your daughter made that little group among the workers and crossed the line.

The old sir's expression also became serious, and his eyes gradually sharpened: cross the line? Who draws the line?

No one drew the line.

Then you also say a hammer.

The chairman will not allow such a thing to exist. Dungar said, he just hasn't drawn the line yet, but someone has already crossed it.

What do you mean?

Your daughter. Dungar took another sip of tea, Christina organized those untouchables, they have become a mob, they are wreaking havoc in the slums under the leadership of well-intentioned people, the mob group is even ready to storm the energy tower, the vigilantes alone can no longer suppress the riot, the chairman will take action to suppress it sooner or later.

The old knight listened quietly to what he had said, and as he finished his words one by one, the old man's face became worse and worse.

Fart! The old jazz shoots the case, Christina won't do such a thing!

However, Dungar just watched him quietly, and did not bother to explain.

Dungar wasn't lying.

The mob groups are indeed wreaking havoc in the city, but if they want them to storm the power tower, if they don't have the heart to incite and guide them behind them, they still have the courage to do so.

In the plan of the nobles, there will be a group of mobs rushing into the aristocratic area and storming the mansion of the Fran family, although in the end they will be dispersed by the guards who rushed to the scene, but in this way, they can logically send additional guards on the grounds of protection and investigation, put the Fran family under house arrest, and then proceed to the next operation.

As for the safety of the nobles present at the moment, there is no need to worry.

After all, it is difficult for a mob to storm into a mansion, and some of the sheriffs and their private soldiers will disguise themselves as mobs and rush into the aristocratic district with the mob, even if something happens

situation, these internal should also secretly disrupt the situation when storming the Flange Mansion.

Please calm down, my friend. Dungar saw that the old knight was emotional, and immediately comforted, I also know that Christina would never do such a thing, so I suspect that someone took advantage of her kindness to do these things

You're right, someone must have taken advantage of Christina to do this kind of thing!

Of course, the old sir would not believe that the old fox in front of him had such a good heart, and at the same time he responded verbally, many thoughts were already in his mind.

They came on behalf of all the nobles

If it is not self-aggrandizement, it means that the vast majority of the nobles have already reached a certain agreement on the matter of Christina, and have excluded our Fran family

Was it the last drinking party?

At that reception, the nobles reached an agreement

It was to use Tina's things to further weaken the power of the Fran family

Or rather

Brother Fran, tell me the truth, what else do you know about what Christina has been doing lately? At this point, Dungar interrupted his thoughts.

All in all, let's see if we can get some information.

The old knight thought so, and then replied: As for what Christina did, in fact, what she told me was to distribute free food to the common workers, and you said that you came with the will of all the nobles, that is, all the nobles have reached a consensus?

There was no unanimity among the nobility, but everyone agreed to stop it.

After all, we can't fall into the reputation of the aristocracy, and we don't want the Fran family, a family with a long history, to be buried because of the confusion of the younger generation

Sir Dungar needed to stall for the mob to storm the mansion.

And the old knight needs information to extract more information from the other party's mouth.

Therefore, the two of you say a word, I say a word, and use the known information to each other little by little, and the information in each other's hands is set aside.

And planning has come to the most critical part.

Well? After they talked for a while, Alain suddenly heard something outside, and he stood up as the script did, and I seemed to hear something outside.

As soon as these words came out, Sir Fran also heard the commotion outside.

What sounds seem to be out there?

Even if there was melodious classical music in the living room, it couldn't cover the hustle and bustle outside.
