It's been a full week since Lawrence moved into his apartment in the North Side, and it's a rare day since he crossed over.

Every morning, Lawrence changed his uniform, waved to his revered citizens in the street, and then walked to the patrol station to supervise the work.

With the impact of the last public execution, coupled with Lawrence's personal supervision every day for the past few days, the style of the patrol has indeed improved a lot with the naked eye.

This has also made more and more citizens start to talk about Laurence Bonaparte, a rising star.

However, as the so-called carrot stick, Lawrence also understands that his prestige is now established, but if he wants to really win the hearts of the patrolmen, he has to find an opportunity to give favors.

And at home, Anna, a shrewd and hard-working girl, also keeps everything in the house in order, although Lawrence doesn't really see her as a servant, but he has to admit that having Anna has made him feel a lot more worried.

After a thorough cleaning of this dirty girl, Lawrence found that Anna was also impeccable in appearance, with upright facial features, a slender figure, and especially a pair of stunning blue eyes, which made Lawrence sometimes stunned.

Mrs. Dura was overjoyed to see her, calling her a little princess of Austria, generously giving Anna a few sets of dresses, and inviting her to drink tea and chat in the shop every afternoon.

That evening, Lawrence returned home from the day's work. Anna had already prepared dinner: a simple goulash with potatoes and two pieces of fluffy wheat bread and jam.

"Sir, you're back." Anna happily stood up from the table and greeted her with a smile.

Lawrence nodded, whistled and took off his uniform and sat down at the table with his shirt on.

Anna was much more cheerful during these days of cohabitation, and every day she told Lawrence many interesting things that she had heard from Mrs. Dura:

"Sir, Mrs. Dura gave me this..."

Anna stood up and lifted her dress slightly, revealing her slender calves, which were wrapped in a silky white silk fabric.

"Mrs. Dura said it was called stockings, and the ladies wore it, and said you might like it..."

"Ahem... Eat, eat! ”

Lawrence's old face flushed, and he quickly coughed twice to change the topic. Don't look at him as a human being in two lives, but he is still a virgin, how can he stand this.

Anna chuckled twice and thoughtfully spread the jam on Lawrence's bread.

"Yes, sir," said Anna suddenly halfway through the dinner.

"I have a small request."

"What is it?" Lawrence asked, gulping down a piece of beef stew.

Anna said cautiously, "I want to go home, my parents don't know that I work with you yet, they will be very worried." ”

"Your home? Xicheng District? Well, I'll go with you tomorrow morning. ”

Lawrence hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement. He also wanted to take this opportunity to find out some information about the situation in Xicheng District, especially about the dockworkers' union.

Governor Pauly's stern reminder made Lawrence very worried about possible revenge, and instead of worrying about guarding against the enemy every day, he should take the initiative to find out what was true about the other side.

"Thank you, sir." Anna happily picked up a piece of potato and put it in her mouth, smiling brightly.

The next morning, Lawrence and Anna woke up early and began to wash and dress.

Considering that the West Quarter may have been covered with union eyeliner, Lawrence did not wear a patrol uniform, but a gray overcoat. However, the dagger and pistol Lawrence still carried, hidden under his coat in case of possible conflicts.

As for Anna, she chose a pure black robe with a hood for her to cover her face.

After all, Anna is not the dirty little briquette, and even Mrs. Dura, who has come into contact with countless noble ladies and ladies, loves her very much.

Before leaving, Lawrence went to the patrol station and explained something to Sean Sr. After all, if you are going to Xicheng District, you still need to leave some behind.

There is no strict dividing line between the districts of Ajaccio, but for the West Quarter, as soon as your nose starts to pour into that pungent stench, you're already standing in a poor place with poor security.

"Oh my God, Anna, did you grow up in a place like this?"

Lawrence covered his nose and stood still for a moment before recovering from his dizziness, the smell reminded Lawrence of the smell of ammonia in the university lab in his previous life.

In fact, the air here does contain a small amount of ammonia, because there are almost no toilets in the homes of the poor here, and the urine and urine are basically solved outdoors, and the ammonia in the urine volatilizes, which is mixed with various odors to form this stench.

There are also few high-rise buildings in Xicheng District, full of shacks made of wooden pillars and iron sheets, and most of the pedestrians are wearing tattered linen clothes, and even unclothed are not a few.

"I'm sorry sir, in fact, after getting used to it, it won't be so uncomfortable." Anna said apologetically.

The slums are not divided into streets like other urban areas, and because these simple shacks are easy to collapse and build, each slum's dwelling changes from time to time, which makes Anna wander around for a while without finding her own shack.

As the two continued to search, Anna suddenly turned her head back sharply, glanced sideways, and then quietly tugged at the corner of Lawrence's coat and quickened her pace.

Lawrence also understood, and followed Anna into a hidden alley.

Anna leaned on Lawrence, leaned into his ear, and whispered:

"Someone is following us, sir."

"Did you notice? Do you know who it is? Lawrence was a little surprised, he himself was completely unaware that he was being followed.

Anna said calmly: "Just behind us on the right, a burly man. There is a tattoo on the arm and a knife on the waist, which should be a gangster. ”

Lawrence frowned slightly, considering the close relationship between the gang and the dockmen's union, this stalker was afraid that it would not be good.

"Confirm it's tracking?" Lawrence cautiously drew his flintlock pistol and began to reload with lead bullets and gunpowder.

"That's right," Anna nodded, "I noticed it ten minutes ago, and he was always behind us. ”

Lawrence nodded, and couldn't help but feel that recruiting Anna was indeed the right choice, such an intuitive instinct can only be exercised in such a harsh environment.

Lawrence gestured to Anna with a boo, then hid behind the wall, quietly waiting for the stalker to catch up.

Syllable! Syllable! Syllable!

The footsteps drew closer, and Lawrence counted three counts in his mind and leaped out from behind the wall. The stalker apparently didn't expect Lawrence to find him, and didn't react for a moment.

Lawrence swung his pistol and smashed it into the man's head, the bronze handle of the gun slammed into his forehead, and the burly man's eyes suddenly flashed with gold stars, Lawrence was quick and immediately punched him in the abdomen, and then dragged the man who was paralyzed to the ground into the alley.

"Say, who told you to come?" Lawrence asked with the muzzle of the gun on top of the man's head.

Seeing that he was being seen through by Lawrence, the man simply tore through the disguise directly, and said with a cruel smile:

"Lawrence Bonaparte, I didn't expect you to kill the union and dare to set foot in the West District, tell you, our people are already on the way, you can't fly! If you let me go, I will be able to plead with you then!" ”

"Tsk, it's really from the union."

Lawrence smacked his lips, but he didn't expect the union's eyeliner to be so dense that he was recognized as soon as he came to Xicheng District.

"Anna, close your eyes." Lawrence said lightly.

"Yes sir." Anna obediently closed her eyes.

Bang!

The loud sound of gunfire echoed in the alley, and the man's bloody face could still be seen dead, but he didn't expect Lawrence to choose to shoot without any nonsense.

Gently blowing away the smoke from the muzzle, Lawrence grabbed Anna's small hand and walked away quickly. The union members are already on their way, and it is no longer appropriate to stay here.
