"Whew"

In the middle of the night, in the quiet and deserted streets of Newham, two young men in cotton and linen suits leaned against the wall and smoked, and the night patrol police passed by them, and they withdrew their gaze after a glance.

Two young men with one hand in their pockets, cigarette butts in the other, and a pair of cold eyes under the lowered brim of their octagonal hats.

When the patrolling police walked away, the two young men dropped their cigarette butts, put on leather gloves, pulled their revolvers from their arms, and strode into the apartment building opposite.

5th floor.

The soundproofing of the apartment building was poor, and the crying of babies, the quarrels of husband and wife, and the sound of frying pots and stoves were mixed together, and a woman saw the dress of two young people, and quickly closed the door and hid.

In front of the door of room 15, two young people stood still, their fingers gently plucked the wheel and drum, making a series of 'rattling' sounds, and after confirming that the guns were normal, they glanced at each other and nodded.

Boom!

A young man flew up and kicked open the sturdy door, and the two burst into the room and fired at the closed bedroom and toilet doors, and the loud gunfire exploded in the hallway, but unexpectedly

There was no one in the house.

The stew pot was still boiling on the stove, but there was not even a single ghost in sight, only the window was wide open, and the night sky was pitch black outside.

Extremely surprised, the two young men rushed to the open window, looked at the dark alley, and in anger, smashed the window with a punch, and turned away.

"What do you say? Loren da Costa escaped? ”

At the headquarters of the Kore Gang, the Kore brothers looked at the killer who came back to his life, and his eyes were cold: "What's going on?" Didn't you do what you were told? ”

"No, no." A young man lowered his head in fear, completely devoid of the murderous aura he had when he rushed into the apartment building: "We did as we were told, and we only started after seeing Loren da Costa enter the apartment building, and there was only a maximum of 5 minutes before and after."

"When you burst into the room, Loren da Costa had already fled?"

"It's not just him, even his family is gone!"

The Koray brothers glanced at each other, and just as they were about to speak, they saw the rest of the waves of killers returning, and they were dejected, and they knew that they had missed.

Now, even if the Kore brothers were slow to react, they realized that something was wrong.

Loren da Costa's disappearance was no accident, and the family was rescued!

Who is it

Who would dare to oppose them in London?

The Kore brothers' faces were gloomy, and they waved their hands to disperse the killer who had returned home, and after a short thought, they contacted Smith, and through Smith, they secretly met with the second prince.

Knowing that the union president who was supposed to be eliminated had disappeared, the second prince was surprised and a little afraid, which meant that their actions were exposed!

Is there an inner ghost or is someone else like a god? Speculate in advance in addition to their actions?

And the existence that can quietly save these people under the nose of the killer

Most likely it has something to do with extraordinary strength!

It's London!

How many transcendents can act silently?

The president who was rescued was not only the Loren family, but at least a dozen people

"Could it be that the church has made a move?" Smith was terrified, "If the church intervenes to prove that they know about our actions, in that case"

"Don't scare yourself." The second prince said in a cold voice: "With Archbishop Brandon here, even if the church wants to punish us, we can get the news in advance, besides, if it is the church, why should they be sneaky?" Why don't you stand up openly? ”

"It could be the Archbishop of Canmbury, who wants to use these presidents to frame us."

"Framed?"

The second prince sneered: "I did fund the Kore Gang, but there is no evidence for this matter, the killer was not caught, how can the Archbishop of Cumberley prove that I instructed the Kore Gang to try to kill those presidents?" How does he prove that the killer who showed up tonight is a member of the Kore Gang? ”

For the sake of safety, the second prince still ordered the Kore brothers to arrange for the brother who was responsible for the assassination tonight to leave the city and return when the turmoil passed.

The assassination attempt failed, but the second prince's goal was achieved.

At first, he just wanted to kill the chicken and make an example of the monkey, so that other disobedient people could see what would happen if they disobeyed him, but now that the chicken has run away, it would be good to arrange a group of people to replace the chicken.

What really worries the second prince is that he doesn't know the identity of his opponent, what if it's an inner ghost?

"Very few people know about the assassination." The second prince said, "I only told Baron Frederick, Smith, you, and Nicholas, oh, Stuart knows. ”

Smith said: "It is impossible for Baron Frederick and Stuart to divulge secrets, and I can't, we are your most loyal supporters, as for Nicholas."

"He's even less likely."

"Your Highness, Nicholas has only been with us for half a year, and he left you to escape in Paris, you shouldn't trust him so much."

"Distrusted?" The second prince grinned and said coldly, "Smith, you don't seem to have figured out the situation. ”

In Smith's blank gaze, the second prince continued: "Before Nicholas joined my camp, we were overwhelmed by the Conservative Party, and it was he who founded the Manstein Potions Company, and most of the Liberal Party members, including me, invested in the Manstein Potions Company, and the blessing of Tonicholas, the Liberal Party was able to expand its power and began to counter the Conservative Party, and Archbishop Brandon also had a higher voice in the church."

"It is no exaggeration to say that we have been able to make such great progress in half a year, and Nicholas has a lot of credit."

"If we get rid of him, or if we lose his help, both the Liberals and Archbishop Brandon will be beaten back to square one. We will lose everything. ”

Staring at Smith's eyes, the second prince gritted his teeth and said word by word: "Nicholas is not an inner ghost, he can't be an inner ghost, even if he is an inner ghost, we should pray for him to change his mind, you. Got it? ”

"I see."

Smith shuddered and nodded heavily.

When the second prince said this, he understood everything.

The point is, not Nicholas, but Manstein Potions.

Get rid of Nicholas, it won't do them any good.

Because it was Levin who succeeded Manstein in the Potions Company, and he was very close to the eldest prince, the eldest prince did not hesitate to give up his lover just to win him over.

Once something happens to Nicholas, it is still the hand of the Liberals, and Levin will not hesitate to join the Great Prince!

At that time

It's all late.

What's more, they have no evidence now, because someone rescued Loren and other union presidents, so they suspect that Nicholas is an internal ghost?

Please, and don't want to know who proposed to take action against the Labor Representative Council?

It's Nicholas!

Doesn't it make sense for someone who proposes a plan to block it in turn?

"If there really is an inner ghost, the first one to suspect should be the Kore Gang."

The second prince picked up a cigar and said lightly: "The Kore Gang is the executor of the assassination operation, and in the process of transmitting orders, it is possible to leak information. Don't worry, I'm not saying you have a problem. ”

Let the Kore brothers calm down for a while, and the second prince added his opinion: "After you go back, keep some care for the people around you, don't be a thief yet." ”

"Yes."

The next day, the sun was shining, and a strong wind hung last night, dispelling the smog that hung over London.

The news of the disappearance of several union presidents soon spread, and no one could be found in the search everywhere, so the vice president had to temporarily replace the position of president.

Representatives of the Labour Party visited the trade unions one by one.

The negotiations went unexpectedly smoothly, and without much waste, the presidents of the trade unions and the vice presidents who held the position of interim presidents agreed to the establishment of a committee of labor representatives.

The Council of Labor Representatives is a link that binds trade unions across industries.

With the bond in place, Arthur began to consult the workers on the same day, asking the members of the Labour Representative Committee to collect the workers' demands and submit them to the Labour Party.

Some people are happy and some are worried, Arthur's side is vigorous, and the eldest prince is not very happy.

At the Nightingale Club, the eldest prince sat alone on the sofa, looking out the window in a daze.

It was tea time, and he was supposed to taste black tea, eat some snacks, and read famous books, but the sudden news disturbed his mood.

What dim sum, what black tea, all lost their taste.

"Your Highness, the Marquis of Brecon and the Earl of Austin have arrived."

Butler Nicks pushed open the door to the private lounge, and the Marquis of Brecon and the Earl of Austin hurried in and sat down next to the Grand Prince.

"Two."

Taking a deep breath, the eldest prince spoke: "Yesterday, Arthur submitted an application to Congress to form the Labor Party, and the application will definitely pass. ”

"Your Highness, are you worried that the fourth prince is out of control?" Earl Austin asked.

"He's out of my control." The eldest prince sighed: "After the promulgation of the Education Reform Act, he set up his own door, he is really an ambitious person, and he will not give up any opportunities."

The Earl of Austin and the Marquis of Brecon looked at each other and said, "I think it's a good thing that the Labour Party was formed. ”

"A good thing? Why? ”

"Your Highness, what do you want the most now, what are you most worried about?"

“.”

"It's the throne!" Earl Austin said bluntly: "Aren't you competing with the second prince just for the throne?" So the question arises, who qualifies to be the new king according to the current situation? Is it the Fourth Prince? ”

The eldest prince frowned slightly, and thought about it seriously: "No, although Arthur is very good, he is probably not qualified to become a king, because he has no church support behind him. ”

"Yes! That's right! The Earl of Austin exclaimed, "This is actually a point that your Highness is thankful for!" The fourth prince could not have ascended to the throne without the support of the church! In fact, the only ones who are qualified to run for the king are Your Royal Highness, the second prince Shukri, and the third prince Andrew! ”

"Of course, the second prince who is the biggest threat, he is now in full swing, and with the help of the Manstein family, his strength is stronger day by day, and the Conservative Party can no longer suppress him"

"Congress is our last position, and we must not lose it, so it is necessary to win over the Four Princes, the West Island Councilors, and the Northern Councilors represented by Russell Benjamin!"

The Earl of Austin spat and spoke quickly: "Only with their support can the Conservative Party stabilize the current situation!" ”

"It's not enough to just stabilize the situation." The Marquis of Bracken suddenly said: "Even if the Congress is stabilized, the church will fall into a disadvantage, and in the long run, Archbishop Brandon's voice in the church will become more and more important, when the potions business becomes the pillar of the church, the pope will also look at Archbishop Brandon's face, and it is not simple to name the king?" ”

"That's right, now we are actually dying a slow death." The Earl of Austin said: "We've been waiting for a chance to break the game, and now here's our chance!" ”

Although he didn't want to admit it, the eldest prince still asked: "Can Arthur's Labor Party help us break the situation?" ”

"I'm not sure for sure, but the founding of the Labor Party had the most profound impact on the second prince."

Earl Austin hesitated: "The Liberal Party that supports the second prince, most of them are up-and-comers, they support free trade, and they are emerging capital that has risen in the wave of the industrial revolution. ”

"Their economic sources, unlike those of the Conservatives, who rely on the farm and estate economy, mostly come from new industrial products, such as canned goods, weapons, cosmetics"

"This kind of industrial system needs to hire a large number of laborers, that is, workers, and due to the particularity of the factory, most of the workers live in the city, relying on the city to live, which virtually increases the cost of living."

Living in a noble manor may not be able to enjoy the goods of the city, but at least you don't have to worry about shelter and food.

The last thing that is lacking on rural farms and estates is food.

On the other hand, the workers who worked in the factories were not guaranteed three meals a day, and the factory owners did not provide them with food or shelter, so they could only live in expensive London rented houses for a slightly higher salary than on the estates and farms.

Often a family works day and night in exchange for an ordinary three meals a day.

"The Labor Party established by the fourth prince is a workers' party, and the labor representative committee established is also mainly workers, and has little to do with the farms and estates of the Conservative Party."

"But for the Liberals," said the Earl of Austin, "the Labour Party is an imminent threat, and for every benefit they win for the workers, capital will have to cut off a piece of meat, and this is a real benefit!" ”

"Capital is the last thing to see the workers unite. Just as those in power are afraid of riots. The eldest prince muttered.

"Yes!" Earl Austin nodded heavily: "The life of vested interests needs a large number of workers to sustain it!" They are a minority, and they can only be a minority! If the oppressed workers are united, they can be easily overthrown! ”

The eldest prince suddenly understood: "The Labor Party founded by Arthur will weaken the strength of the Liberal Party!" What they fear most is the united workers! ”

"Your Highness, you finally understand."

Earl Austin was pleased: "The Labor Party established by the fourth prince is a sharp sword, but the tip of the sword is not aimed at us, but the Liberal Party of His Royal Highness the Second Prince, we don't have to do anything, just quietly watch them fight." ”
