"So, you've made up your mind?"

The next day, Lawrence received a report from the guards that a girl in ragged clothes and covered in dirt wanted to see him, and he knew that it was Shadia who had made her choice.

Looking at Chardy sitting in front of him with a light smile, Lawrence was not surprised by her choice.

For her own personal benefit, accepting Lawrence's solicitation would be nothing for Shadia, not to mention the fact that she still had the interests of nearly two hundred members of the bakery on her shoulders.

Being able to receive official funding is something that almost every member of the congregation would love to see.

Driven by these factors, Lawrence was completely certain that Shadia would return to his desk.

"What you're talking about really appeals to us."

Shadia's expression was a little calmer than yesterday, but judging from her haggard and tired expression, it was estimated that she had been considering Lawrence's proposal all night.

Lawrence couldn't help but look at Shady approvingly, it seems that the environment is indeed the decisive factor for people's growth, and she can fight her own strength in a place like the slum, this girl is really a smart person.

In the conversation with Anna, Lawrence also probably understood that this Shadia was indeed a lover and a righteous person, so he would not have to worry about her loyalty for a long time by taking her mother to the governor's palace.

However, for Lawrence, although he has officially incorporated this intelligence organization into his command, he is still some way from the actual establishment of a secret police.

Their loyalty and ability will have to be cultivated over time, and as they mature, Lawrence will not be able to directly hand over to them that vital power of violent law enforcement and direct investigation.

As a result, the focus of Shadia and her subordinates is still to help Lawrence gather and organize information from various sources, and in recruiting them, the Bread Society can also collect information on a certain aspect according to Lawrence's instructions.

"I can see the potential in you, Shady, this bread will not be able to accommodate you in the future, do it well."

Lawrence looked at Shadia earnestly, and although he didn't know it, there was already a hint between the words that she would be given a more important position in the future.

Although Shadia had never been active in the political arena, she was as shrewd as she immediately heard Lawrence's hint, so she quickly nodded with a solemn face to show that she understood.

Seeing that Shadia understood what he meant so quickly, Lawrence nodded happily, thinking that it was time to give them a formal task.

"Very, Shady, I need you to gather all the news about these four people when you get back."

Lawrence said in a deep voice, and at the same time wrote down four names on a piece of paper, from the council except Carlo Bonaparte, and from Ajaccio, all of whom represented the interests of the landlord class.

Lawrence's letter was also to prepare for his own tax reform and to solve the problem of land ownership in the future.

Including the recent experimental levy in May, although Lawrence used it to attack the church, it is impossible for the landlords not to get the wind, and they will inevitably have a sense of crisis that will affect the pond fish.

In order to prevent them from doing this, Lawrence decided to take care of the situation of the four most direct representatives of interest first.

However, to Lawrence's surprise, he saw Shadia take the paper and scan it, and asked out loud:

"That's the names of those councillors, right?"

"Oh? Do you know their names? ”

Lawrence said with some surprise that after all, these councillors from outside Ajaccio do not hold elections and performances in the city, so they are much less in public than Ajaccio's four.

"In fact..."

Shadia nodded slightly, then took out a package she was carrying and placed it on Lawrence's table, and whispered:

"I brought you a greeting gift."

Lawrence frowned and looked at the bag on the table, and directly opened it, only to see that there was a large pile of very poor quality grass inside, but the paper was densely filled with words.

"What is this?" Lawrence looked at Shadia in even more surprise and asked, vaguely feeling that he still underestimated this little

Female abilities.

"Most of the letters from the nine members of the Corsican Parliament, or black, are authentic."

Even though Lawrence and her were the only ones in the study, Shadia said in as low a voice as she could.

"You've taken the initiative to investigate the information of the councillors before?" Lawrence asked in surprise:

Shadia was silent for a while, if this kind of thing had been spread before today, then their little bread would have been covered in an instant, but now that she had submitted to Lauren, Shadia still answered truthfully:

"Yes, I figured out early on that if bread would just passively accept letters and become an ordinary intelligence exchange group, then it would not be able to develop, so I decided to take the initiative to gather intelligence. Although the magnates are high, they also have servants and subordinates, and we hear many interesting things from the mouths of servants and subordinates. ”

"The magnates..."

Lawrence narrowed his eyes and put the document in his hand, looked at Shadia and said:

"So there's information about me?"

Shadia lowered her head, deliberately avoiding Lawrence's gaze, and then tapped lightly twice and said:

"No, but your black material... To be honest, it is much less than other powerful people, and there is almost no life. Moreover, your subordinates are really loyal, and our information about you is basically obtained directly, and rarely through your subordinates. ”

As for Shadia, she also went back yesterday and carefully checked Lawrence's information before she made up her mind to join him.

"Really? I'd like to know. ”

Lawrence said with a smile that he didn't have the behavior of Xia Di to inquire about himself, after all, as the president of Corsica, there would be countless pairs of eyes on him.

"Yes..."

Shadia hesitated for a moment before saying:

"You have entrusted us several times with exaggerated propaganda of your war, including in Giethoorn, Bonifacio; Also, the hypocritical act in which you killed Ciro Russerna and the orphanage director Mario Sr., I know that Mario Sr. is not a good person at all; And the things you recently asked us to spread the word about the Kingdom of Corsica..."

Lawrence still listened with a smile, not the slightest annoyance, because these things were not much different from the so-called black material that he had summarized himself.

Lawrence, on the contrary, felt that it was a good thing not to have black material that he did not know.

"And all this information...?"

Lawrence smiled at Shadia and asked, although he himself was not there for these black materials, it did not mean that Lawrence could tolerate the leakage of this information.

Shadia hurriedly said:

"Look, all the information about you has turned to dust last night. Although there are still a few people who know, no one will believe them without evidence. ”

"You're a clever man, Shadia."

Lawrence was stunned at first, and then couldn't help but laugh and said, and at the same time, he was more determined in his heart to leave the position of head of the secret police to Shadia.

Lawrence turned his attention to the pile of papers on the table again, and picked it up and opened it with relish.

"Hmph... Interesting. ”

After a quick glance at the papers, Lawrence thoughtfully put them back on his desk and thought straight away.

There is no doubt that these high-profile parliamentarians have more or less black spots.

Including Lawrence's own brother, Carlo Bona, it is documented on file that he used some rather dishonorable hands as a lawyer to crack down on competitors in his profession, and that there may have been bribery of judges in some lawsuits.

These things belong to the fact that they don't go on the scale, but if they want to get on it, they can't beat a thousand catties. Although in private people know that it is almost understandable to do these things in their position, as long as they are publicized, they will inevitably be left behind.

As for Lawrence, what is missing is nothing more than a handle for the four councilors who have been controlled by house arrest.

Lawrence carefully sorted out the papers on the table, focused on the information of the four members of the landlord class, and then asked Shadia with a smile:

"No, Chardy,

But I'd like to know why you're doing this as a greeting gift. ”

Shadia was still a little late, and only after considering that she had fallen to Lawrence's side did she dare to open her mouth and say:

"Because I know that you asked the Treasury to do."

"Huh?"

Lawrence's brows suddenly furrowed, he really didn't expect that his tax reform would also be leaked, and he couldn't help but ask sharply:

"Where did you know that? Leaked by the Ministry of Finance? ”

"No, it's not." Shadia said in a loud voice:

"It was a worker from the Ajaccio printing house, who was ours, and smuggled a copy out when he was printing that piece of eucalyptus from the Ministry of Finance."

"Is that so..."

Lawrence couldn't help but feel a little headed, although it doesn't matter if the tax reform is leaked out now, but the situation that Shadia said still makes Lawrence feel that there is really no impermeable wall in this world.

It is no wonder that many countries in later generations will set up a machine called a secret bureau, and if it is not deliberately kept secret, the entire administrative system will leak like a sieve.

Silently putting secrecy on the reform agenda, Lawrence breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the meeting sent by Shadia a few more times, and then said solemnly:

"In any case, you are a very capable person, and I will consider adjusting the appropriate amount of appropriation for the bread society. In the same way, I want you to remember that from now on you are working for Corsica. ”

"Of course."

Shadia nodded deeply and said that as for who the so-called work for Corsica was for, a smart person like her would not be unaware.

Seeing Shadia's back disappear into the door, Lawrence also breathed a sigh of relief.

I had to be, the bread club's intelligence capabilities did exceed Lawrence's expectations.

However, a large part of this is due to the fact that Lawrence is in charge of the patrols, and since Corsica does not have serious intelligence and counterintelligence machines, the Ajaccio patrols, as the de facto police, shoulder most of the responsibility for counterintelligence.

If Lawrence hadn't turned a blind eye to the development of the Bread Society, it would have been difficult for them to grow to the point they are today.

When Lawrence is not worried that the bread will be too strong and will backfire on himself, not to mention that he holds Shadia's relatives in his hands as a person, just their behavior of probing the information of the councillors is revealed, I am afraid that it will attract the unanimous ban of the entire Corsican elite.

With Shadia's ingenuity, she would not have done such a stupid act.

After Shadia left, Lawrence read the document twice, and then called Wei, handed the paper he had just handed Shadia to Wei, and asked to bring the four people on it.

......

In a few moments, the four councillors appeared in front of Lawrence.

And when the four of them entered the book with uneasiness and nervousness, and looked at each other, they also suddenly noticed that something was wrong.

As the four of them, who were also from the country, knew each other very well, and when they found out that they had been brought to Lawrence together, a bad thought immediately appeared in their minds.

"You may be seated, several."

Lawrence chuckled and stretched out his hand to signal them to sit, glanced around the slightly uneasy look on their faces, and said directly in a deep voice:

"I've got some news that may not be very friendly to you."

"Not very friendly?"

The uneasiness on the faces of several councillors became even heavier, and they exchanged glances before someone smiled and asked:

"Ahh, Mr. Bonaparte, what you say is only about the four of us?"

Lawrence chuckled and looked at the speaker, it seems that he is also a master of playing with words, this word "only" is to test Lawrence's attitude.

"Of course." Lawrence said with a shrug.

"Shhhhh

The four councillors couldn't help but take a cold breath, they were naturally not stupid to climb to this position, and they all understood how Lawrence could happen to only get the black of the four of them, this must be intentionally attacking the four of them.

"Hehe... And what is the bad news you're talking about...?"

The smile on the councillor's face that spoke was almost uncontrollable, but he still forced his way to ask.

….

"One of the four of you, a possible crime."

Lawrence said, his tone a little lower, and he became serious.

The councillor struggled to say, even though he knew that none of them were going to get any better today:

"It's... We are all law-abiding Corsican citizens. Although I mean no offense, is your message really accurate? ”

Lawrence snorted coldly and said directly:

"I want to remind you that you, as a high-profile discussion, in order to prevent bad public shadows, even if the information in my hands cannot be guaranteed to be 100% accurate, you will be strictly investigated."

When several people heard this, their faces immediately turned bitter, and who dared to say that their hands were completely clean to be able to sit in their seats.

"But..."

Lawrence went on to say, a smile on his face again:

"If your position is not so prominent, then there is no need for an investigation. We don't have the resources to investigate every piece of false news from every Corsican. ”

"You mean...?"

Several people's hearts suddenly chuckled, Lawrence's words had been said very clearly, either accept the investigation and be exposed to the black material and be imprisoned, or give up his status as a member of parliament in exchange for Lawrence's past blame for those black materials.

In the eyes of several people, since Lawrence dared to make such a threat to them, he must have mastered the corresponding evidence, and if they really took the risk of accepting the tune, it would definitely be a check.

The four of them sat in agony, although their reason told him that it was the best choice to give up their status as a member of parliament at this time, but it was not acceptable for them to completely put their greatest political position at once.

Lawrence also knew about this kind of mentality, so he didn't urge him, but just pretended to be unintentional and reminded:

"I almost forgot, the resignation of a member of parliament requires a formal written statement, maybe you can prepare it when you go back?"

"Of course... Governor of Bonaparte. ”

The four of them said dejectedly, as if they had lost their souls, and walked out of the room under the supervision of the guards.

Lawrence didn't even look at the four who walked out, and in Lawrence's eyes, these four people had already lost their bodies the moment they walked out of this door, and they didn't deserve to be treated by themselves anymore.

"So... It's time to stuff your own people into parliament. ”

A flash of light flashed in Lawrence's eyes, and he began to silently consider his candidate.

And regardless of which four were added to the parliament by Lawrence, counting the original Carlo Bonna, this means that Lawrence already holds more than half of the seats in parliament.

Not to mention that the remaining four people already have a tendency to fall towards Lawrence.

The Corsican Parliament was now completely in the hands of Lawrence, and the landlord class had lost their greatest political support.
