Brooklyn was happy with today's performance. Diaphragm

In the face of Raymond Newman's sudden backlash, although angry, he did not panic.

In the face of a sudden increase in strong opponents, he has always shown calm restraint and actively thought about countermeasures.

Including the tentative taste of Frank and the conversation with Burke, Brooklyn believes that although his performance is a little flawed - maybe he could have done better with his previous self, but it is also good to have such a performance in his current form.

At least not like the last time David was kidnapped by Bald Eagle, he looked like a fool.

Especially in the face of the surging public opinion on the Internet, and the foreseeable future of even more turbulent public opinion, can think of the idea of a 'proposal', although this belongs to the accumulation, because a series of previous public opinion influences accumulated to a critical point, naturally burst out of this idea, but in the current state can think of jumping out of the existing situation, try to change the rules, it is already very good.

Although the 'proposal' is still in name, we have not even thought about the specific content and how to implement it.

Didn't Burke say that he needed to ask John Manning. Diaphragm

All Brooklyn needs to do now is take control of New York while waiting for John Manning's decision.

At noon, after lunch, Brooklyn even had the leisure to care about Peter's affairs.

Judging from the last two court trials, Peter has clearly detached himself from the group of Court No. 9, and appears isolated and unsociable.

Brooklyn didn't have a preconceived notion that it was all Peter's problem. He spoke to Ray first, and learned from Ray that Peter was not satisfied with the job he had been given, which was confirmed by the other two bailiffs.

"Joseph Jr. came later than he did, but instead of doing what he considered to be an 'inferior' job with us, he went straight to Jerry to learn clerkship. He considered such an arrangement unfair. ”

Ray glanced at little Joseph, who was whispering and laughing with Jerry in the distance, and helped Brooklyn analyze Peter's psychological changes, but it could be heard from the wording that Ray was very disdainful of Peter.

After learning about the situation, Brooklyn called Peter. Diaphragm

Facing Brooklyn directly, this makes Peter feel weird in his heart, don't look at him usually complaining about Brooklyn behind his back, pointing fingers at Brooklyn's decision, but really facing Brooklyn, Peter is still a little worried.

"You've been here for almost a month, what have you learned?"

Brooklyn asked.

Peter subconsciously pursed his lips, and then remembered that this was in front of Brooklyn, so he quickly put away the corners of his mouth and looked towards Brooklyn. It turns out that Brooklyn is looking straight at him.

"Do you have any grievances about this issue?"

Brooklyn asked again.

Peter shook his head hurriedly. Diaphragm

When he first arrived, Peter at least dared to stick to his own thoughts and argue with him, but now he was lying on his stomach.

Brooklyn felt a little disappointed, waved his hand, chased Peter away, and turned on the computer to check the intern's performance evaluation.

This thing is like a diary, the judges will write two sentences every day, and at the end of the day, they will make a comprehensive evaluation based on the 'diary' and impressions.

Of course, most judges don't have the leisure to record the interns' every move in detail, and everyone often records a sentence perfunctorily, and occasionally writes too much and complains about the interns.

】

After Brooklyn looked at them one by one, I found that the interns' problems were more concentrated.

Brooklyn thought about it and sent an email to the interns via the intranet, asking them to meet in the conference room after five p.m.

Usually the judges will control the content of the work before five o'clock, and after five o'clock is the time to clean up the 'mess' and rest, and leave work directly at half past five. Diaphragm

After doing this, Brooklyn picked up his phone and looked at it, there was still no Burke's phone, he logged into his social account again, and found that he was scolded even worse.

A large number of people poured into his post to comment, mostly about the content of his interview in the morning.

Brooklyn flipped through at random, quickly stopping his movements.

These people curse people in a variety of ways, and everyone's comments are different, but to sum up, it's always the same two over and over again.

First, they believe that Brooklyn is arrogant and should apologize immediately.

Brooklyn didn't know where they got the courage to call him arrogant and demand an apology. Probably Azathoth. [Note 1]

Article 2, the first list of persons to be prosecuted has been published. Diaphragm

The list provoked a furious outburst, a curse, and an emotional outburst. They believe that Brooklyn is misappropriating public resources and violating personal privacy.

Brooklyn actually wanted to ask them, the court needs an address to issue a subpoena, and does the court investigate the address as an invasion of personal privacy?

The concept of personal privacy has been infinitely amplified in recent years, and everything that has anything to do with the individual and does not want others to show or let others know about it is called personal privacy, and Brooklyn even suspects that one day, this group of people will include criminal acts in the category of personal privacy.

When the police investigate a crime, they are violating their privacy......

Third, there is no reason, when I see everyone scolding, I come over to vent my emotions.

This group of people is the most numerous.

They don't understand what Brooklyn is doing, they don't understand the Brooklyn vs. Pence Norton showdown, they don't understand the impact of Brooklyn's actions on the public, they don't understand anything, they just come to vent, they just want to find someone to scold. Diaphragm

After scolding, they will leave satisfied.

Brooklyn logged out and contacted Walter O'Brien to post a second batch of personnel lists.

At the same time, he also went through the 'evidence' of the first list of personnel sent by Walter O'Brien, confirmed that it was correct, opened a standard indictment, revised the indictment in batches, and sent it to various different courts.

Now that Pence Norton has someone to help, it is likely that some of the grass that is still on the sidelines will fall to Pence Norton, and in order to prevent these people from causing trouble for themselves, Brooklyn decided to give them some trouble first.

I learned this from Frederick.

………………

Boston, Harvard Law School. Diaphragm

Burke recounted the conversation with Brooklyn in its entirety, and then asked John Manning for his opinion.

John Manning sat in his chair, squinting and listening quietly, looking as if he had fallen asleep.

John Manning has seen almost no one lately, and he has seen almost no one except Burke, and the whole person is mysterious.

Rumors are circulating that John Manning was planning a 'KB attack' and was looking at someone with bad intentions.

The people at Yale have been very wary lately, fearing that the rumored 'someone' is themselves.

The Harvard faction is gearing up for a big fight.

In fact, if these people actually met John Manning, they would have been surprised. Diaphragm

In the space of one month, John Manning has changed dramatically from the last time he came to Harvard in Brooklyn.

John Manning's hair was all white, the skin on his face was loose and wrinkled, his eye sockets were sunken, his cheeks were collapsing, and his whole body was very thin, as if he was about to become a mummy. Now John Manning is very suspicious that a gust of wind can blow down.

He seemed to be afraid of the cold, and it was already May weather, but he still hid indoors, with a fireplace and a thick blanket on his knees.

The intense illness tormented him, making it difficult for him to swallow and unable to sleep. Fortunately, his mental state is not bad.

After listening to Burke's retelling, John Manning shook his head, "That's a little liar with a lot of nonsense. ”

Like Burke, John Manning believed that Brooklyn's 'ideal' was a well-elaborated speech to Burke alone, and that it was not the truth at all.

"What are we supposed to do?" Burke asked. Diaphragm

"What do you think?" John Manning did not rush to give an answer, but asked rhetorically.

Burke pondered for a moment and said, "I think we can try." ”

"Why?" John Manning raised an eyebrow, "Haven't you always been dismissive of him?" ”

Burke glanced at John Manning, got up and brought him a glass of water and a yellow plastic bottle with pills.

Handing them to John Manning, Burke replied, "He has a very low adaptability to the current rules of public opinion in the Federation, and judging from past records and statistics, he will not use public opinion at all, but can only passively wait for others to launch public opinion against him, and passively defend." Of course, he did not fail to try the initiative, but it worked poorly. He couldn't even figure out the difference between the Caron Show and the Allen Show, a person who wanted to expand his influence went to the Caron Show...... Gee...... He doesn't have any political ideas to propagandize......"

Seeing John Manning swallow the pills cleanly, Burke took the empty plastic bottle and water cup and put them back in place, opened the drawer again, and took out a box of liquid medicine and syringes from it. ”

Tearing open the packaging of the syringe, sucking the liquid medicine into the syringe, and expelling the air inside, Burke held the syringe like a male nurse in a horror movie, and came to John Manning, "Instead of this, let's change the rules." "Ahh

"Change the rules early and make them work for him...... The other arm. ”

John Manning lowered his pinhole-riddled arm, lifted the other, and complained, "This thing doesn't work at all." ”

Burke glared at him, aimed at the veins, pricked the needle, pushed the liquid, pulled out the needle, and did it in one go.

"Without it, you'd have died."

Burke got up, wrapped the syringe along with the vial, stuffed it into a yellow medical waste bag, sealed it, and put the medicine back in the drawer.

"I'd like to die early."

John Manning raised his arm self-deprecatingly and smiled. Diaphragm

Burke was silent.

John Manning's condition deteriorated rapidly, and he lost the possibility of recovery more than a year ago, and now he is taking oral and injection every day, which is actually delaying time.

Delay the death, buy time for the Harvard faction, and buy time for Brooklyn.

It wasn't pleasant, John Manning was suffering from intense pain almost every moment, and the cancer cells were like wild horses on the loose, scurrying around his body with the pain.

"We're running out of time, so we should support him and change the rules as soon as possible so that he can adapt."

Burke was silent for a moment, finishing what he had not finished.

John Manning nodded and said, "Yes, if you can't adapt to the rules, then change the rules and let the rules adapt to you." "Ahh

The previous sentence was still praising Brooklyn, but as soon as the conversation changed, the next sentence turned to Burke: "Don't you look down on him?" ”

Burke was a little upset with the old fellow's obsessive sarcasm about himself.

"It's a fact that he's narrow-minded, I'm just expressing my opinion realistically, and I personally have no problem with him. But ......"

"But what?"

Burke frowned, and his mind popped back to the conversation he had had had taken place last night.

That kind of reckless, emotional impulse, and the guy who is running the train with his mouth full of is basically two people.

"His feelings for his friends are too deep." Diaphragm

Burke Road.

He thinks the reason Brooklyn was so 'stupid' last time was because it was about David Portman.

Burke dismissed this as an accident and not worth mentioning.

Perhaps even Burke himself did not realize that he had inadvertently concealed a fact from John Manning.

As John Manning's eyes and ears, Burke should have relayed what he saw and heard to John Manning word for word, and it was up to John Manning to judge whether the information was valid, not him.

John Manning looked at him deeply, then suddenly sighed and said, "Burke, if I can't hold on, Harvard will have to be handed over to you." ”

Burke was stunned. Diaphragm

"Okay, now that it's decided, let's get back to Brooklyn."

John Manning said again.

"You go and contact them, it's still very difficult for this proposal to pass."

Burke didn't leave, he shook his head and said, "John, you don't have to test me. Even if I really have such thoughts, you can't try it out, and I can't show it in front of you. ”

"We know each other so well that there's no need to do that."

John Manning smiled and said, "It's not a temptation, it's serious." ”

"I've just done the math, and it's clear that Brooklyn can't grow to the point where he can become the next Speaker in a short period of time. But my condition deteriorated so fast that I couldn't wait for him to grow. So, from the time I died until I was fully grown up in Brooklyn, I needed someone to help stabilize the situation. "Ahh

"Burke, you're the best."

It made sense, even a bit of a 'lonely' meaning, but Burke shook his head.

"I'm not suitable."

"Lyon may be more suitable than me."

John Manning shook his head when he heard this, "Lyne Sberger is an immature wolf, he only has madness in his eyes, give him Harvard, and he will lead you to destruction." ”

"Okay, that's it, if one day I really can't hold on, Burke, remember to stand up."

John Manning stretched out his withered hand to hold Burke's, and said in a low voice, "You have been helping me for so many years, everyone thinks that you are nothing more than that, they have forgotten that you are the best of the three of us." "Ahh
