The two police officers, Tony and Tom, followed Arthur's footsteps all the way, but even though they were in good physical condition, it was not easy to catch up with Arthur on the crowded streets of London.

By the time they saw Arthur again, the two had arrived at the door of the Greenwich District Police Station of the Metropolitan Police Force in London.

Arthur stood there, confronted by a thirty-something policeman with a hooked nose who was a lap bigger than him.

There is almost no difference in the attire of the two, the only difference is that the old policeman has three more V-shaped emblems on his epaulettes, which represent his rank - sergeant.

He was none other than Arthur's immediate superior, the Superintendent of the Greenwich District Police of the London Metropolitan Police Force, Willocks Roberts.

Although Arthur is thin, his height is a head above the other party.

Although the other party is short, his fierce face is undoubtedly revealed, there is a shallow scar on his neck, and the tip of his eyebrows is also missing.

Every scar on his body had a big trace.

His scar comes from the Seventh War of the French League, when he fought as a British Army soldier in most of the campaigns against the First French Empire.

The mutilation of the eyebrows comes from St. Peter's Square in Manchester in 1819.

Because Britain participated in a total of seven anti-French alliances in the 22 years from 1793 to 1815 and was at war with France for a long time, the domestic trade economy was greatly affected, and the British authorities chose to adopt a hard-line and high-pressure policy at home, which deepened the domestic contradictions.

Years of conflict finally erupted in 1819 when a mass rally of 80,000 people erupted in St Peter's Square in Manchester on 16 August.

They demanded reform of the electoral system, the repeal of the Corn Laws and the repeal of the law prohibiting workers' association.

Not only that, but the conference organizers also invited Henry Hunt, a well-known radical reformer, to speak to the public.

In a panic, the Manchester City Council ordered the arrest of Henry Hunt and the organisers of the convention, and the tension between the two sides intensified.

In an attempt to keep the situation under control, the British authorities eventually ordered a crackdown on the rally by the military police and the British Army.

The 15th Hussar Regiment, which had made great achievements for the British on the battlefield of Waterloo, also participated in the operation, and they also completed the task 'excellently' this time.

The 15th Hussar Regiment charged back and forth on tall horses, resulting in 18 dead and more than 700 wounded.

Therefore, this operation was also jokingly called the Battle of Waterloo on St. Peter's Square by the British people, referred to as the Peterloo Massacre.

And this sheriff was part of the Peterloo tragedy that year.

A veteran of the war, Willocks officially retired last year and decided to accept an internal arrangement to take up the position of sheriff in the newly formed Metropolitan Police of Greater London.

He paced slowly around Arthur, his eyes scanning Arthur up and down like viper-like eyes before he spoke.

"I've heard what you've done in the magistrate's court. Pretty, well done, do you think I'm going to compliment you like that? Arthur? ”

Arthur glanced at him, "Where am I lucky to get a word of praise from you?" ”

Willocks sneered: "You still have a little brain!"

I'll tell you the truth! Lao Tzu is very angry, very angry! You're also in luck, very lucky!

If I had been in the army, you would have been beaten by me and would have been lying on the ground with your stomach covered and unable to get up!

What do you think you are?

You're just a cop!

What you need is command, is obedience!

It's not some bullshit, that's what parliamentarians and cabinet ministers should think about!

Arthur, do you want to transgress your duty!

Blatantly attacking the letter of the law in the magistrate's court, do you know what kind of mess this matter will cause if it gets to the top?

What do you think the Supreme Court will think?

What do you think legislators think?

What do you think the two justices overseeing Scotland Yard will think?

Just for the sake of your insignificant conscience, do you want to drag Lao Tzu into the water as well?

Answer me! Arthur! ”

Arthur said lightly: "I came here today to explain. ”

He took off his hat, removed his epaulettes and handed them over with both hands.

"Everything is my responsibility alone. I will be responsible for the consequences caused by this. I, Arthur Hastings, the Greenwich District Patrol Constable of the Metropolitan Police of Greater London, hereby take the blame for my resignation. ”

Willocks had his hands behind his back, he was clearly grinning, but his face was uglier than crying.

Compared to today's bright weather, his face was gloomy and black, like a cold rainy night.

He grabbed Arthur's shirt collar violently: "You take it all by heart? Resign? Who do you think you are? Do you think you are the Prime Minister of Great Britain! ”

Arthur looked at his old face as he slowly closed his eyes, his clenched fists rattling.

When Willockx heard this, he looked down at Arthur's fist and smiled arrogantly: "Come, shoot!" Haven't you always wanted to beat me up! Come on! When Lao Tzu was not beaten down on the battlefield, you dare to do it with me?! ”

Arthur took a deep breath and put his hand in his pocket.

"Willocks, don't blame me for not warning you. When I went on patrol in the Eastern Side last night, I brought a gun with me just in case. ”

As soon as Arthur finished speaking, Willocks felt something on his stomach.

Cold sweat slowly flowed down Willocks' sideburns, and time seemed to freeze, and the two of them remained in this posture and froze on the spot.

Seeing this, Tony and Officer Tom hurriedly stepped forward to relieve the siege and said, "Arthur, Sheriff Willocks, you all be sober. Everyone is a colleague, and we can't do that. ”

"Yes, yes...... If this continues, it will really kill people. ”

But Arthur didn't seem to hear the persuasion of the two, and instead said to Willocks.

"Your brain can literally be used to make bells."

Willocks' pupils shrank, and he said angrily, "What did you say! ”

Arthur shook his head slightly: "I didn't say this, it was Victor Hugo." ”

Willocks yelled, "Which district is Victor Hugo in charge of?!" ”

Arthur said coldly: "He's not a policeman, he's a French writer." ”

When Willocks heard this, he immediately felt annoyed and angry.

He was about to yell at Arthur, but as soon as his mouth opened, he felt what had been on his stomach move to his chest.

His forehead was covered with sweat, so he had to change his words temporarily: "Oh, Arthur." I, I know that you are a top student who graduated from college and is also a person who likes to read.

But listen to me and read less French stuff, that will poison your mind. You can read something else, like our quintessence, Shakespeare or something. ”

Arthur nodded, as if he understood the sheriff's words, and he spoke, "You don't have as much brain capacity as earwax." ”

"What did you say!"

"Don't be angry, Mr. Sheriff. As you wish, that sentence was just said by Shakespeare. ”

Willocks' face flushed, and he wanted to fight back at Arthur, but he didn't know what to say, and his lack of vocabulary limited his 'ambition'.

Seeing that he did not speak, Arthur spoke again: "You uneducated bastard. ”

Willockx looked as if he had given up, and he took a deep breath, suppressing his anger.

"Forget it, just think of it as if you were making up for me. Tell me, who said that? ”

Arthur raised an eyebrow slightly, and he placed his epaulettes and uniform on Willocks' head.

This sentence was said by Arthur Hastings. Goodbye, Mr. Sheriff. ”

He tossed what was on Willocks' chest, put his hands in his trouser pockets, and calmly disappeared into the crowd of people in the street.

Willocks looked down and saw that it wasn't a pistol, but a mediocre pipe.

The tobacco in the pipe was not finished and was scattered all over the ground.

Shame, anger, hatred......

Countless emotions welled up in Willocks' heart, and he clenched his fists and roared in the direction of Arthur's departure.

"Arthur! You wait for me! Don't think you'll get away with it! I'm going to launch an internal investigation into you! Lao Tzu must initiate an internal investigation against you!! ”
