Chapter 12: Hugh Dilcha

Hobert remembers that Falth Wall, a future member of the Tarot Society, seems to have indeed approached Audrey to rescue Hugh Dilcha.

Audrey continued, "As far as I know, my friend is happy to help the weak get justice, and the person she injured is a thug in the East End, so I want to help that friend get away with it. ”

She said, "Mr. Hobert, I believe that you will also be on the side of justice and give me the most reasonable advice." ”

Hobert thought for a moment before saying, "Miss Hall, maybe the next words will make you feel uncomfortable, but that is my understanding of justice. ”

He unconsciously accentuated the word "justice", and then he pointed to the gardener in the distance: "Miss Audrey, I think your requirement for a gardener is to be able to grow all kinds of flowers and plants, and know how to fertilize them. ”

Then he pointed to the valet who was following the two: "I think your request for a servant is clever, discreet, and can help you in life." ”

Audrey didn't quite understand what Hobart was ultimately trying to say, and just nodded approvingly.

Hobert continued: "But your demands on all their actions will not be just, or always on the side of justice. ”

Audrey was stunned for a moment, and found that Hobert had a very reasonable point, as long as the most basic moral requirements for gardeners and servants, no one would require his personality to be righteous when recruiting a gardener.

"So you don't have to ask me to be righteous, because a lawyer is a job like a gardener and a servant to me, and whether your appeal is just or not, I will give you advice and help to the best of my ability." Hobert Tract:

"Because there may not be absolute justice in this world, there may be things that you think are righteous, but in the eyes of others they may be evil or annoying.

"Although I have not been in the profession of lawyer for a long time, I have no hope for absolute justice, and if you hear that I defend others for free one day, it must be my help out of conscience, and it has nothing to do with justice."

These are Hobert's thoughts last night, although it doesn't seem to help to summarize the "lawyer's code", but it seems to be helpful to be a good lawyer.

Perhaps out of trust in the members of the Tarot Society, and of course, also out of showmanship, Hobart shared his understanding of justice with Miss "Justice".

Audrey was amazed to hear this: "You are a gentleman of insight. ”

The two of them were now in a secluded part of the garden, where a round table and two chairs had been set up in advance, and there were some drinks and snacks on the round table.

Audrey invited Hobart to sit down, and her maid asked Hobert, "Would you like to drink coffee or tea?" ”

"Black tea, thank you." Hobert began to help Audrey analyze the case: "There are two ways to get your friend out of the crime, one is to ask your friend to issue a certificate of mental illness, and the other is to get the person who was beaten to drop the case.

"Although the first method is simple, I prefer the latter, because if your friend has a certificate of mental illness, it will add a lot of inconvenience to her future life."

While speaking, he always felt that someone was staring at him behind him, and when he finished speaking, he looked behind him, there was no one but a golden retriever.

Wait a minute! It can't be Susie, right?

Hobert turns on the vision and discovers that the dog's weakness is the eyes, and he is even more sure that it is Susie, because the most important place for a "viewer" is the eyes, without which they will lose most of their abilities.

Audrey apparently noticed Hobert's anomaly, and she quickly asked, "How do you do that?" ”

Hobert also pretended to be attracted back and said, "I need to meet your friend in person, and then go and talk to the person she injured against, preferably for a sum of money to get him to drop the lawsuit." ”

He said, "Miss Audrey, you can entrust this matter to me, and tomorrow I will go and talk to them, and if I am lucky, the matter will be satisfactorily resolved in a day or two." ”

Through the conversation just now, Audrey has established an initial trust in Hobert: "I am happy to entrust this matter to you. ”

"Thank you for your trust, how much is the most you are willing to spend on this matter?"

"600 pounds, no more, because the wounded man is really a scoundrel." Audrey said.

Hobart smiled, "No problem, you can send someone you trust to assist me in solving this matter." ”

said that it was assistance, but in fact, it was the whole process of Hobert's problem solving that was truthfully reported to Audrey.

Audrey nodded, "Okay." ”

After talking about the case, the two began to chat, and Hobert told some interesting things about the college campus, which made Audrey, who has been educated at home, have a lot of yearning for the college campus.

It wasn't until near noon that Barton's negotiations with Earl Hall ended.

On the way back, Barton asked about the general content of Hobert's conversation with Audrey, and finally he said, "You've dealt with it well, and it's an opportunity for you."

"You know, the Earl of Hall is very fond of this daughter, and should give her a fortune of not less than 300,000 pounds, which will be a rich dowry when this beautiful young lady marries in the future.

"As long as you have her trust, you will have a steady stream of business coming to you."

£3, 300,000! Hobart thought about his 15 pounds of pocket money, and suddenly had the idea that he didn't want to work harder, I don't know if Earl Hall can recruit a son-in-law?

Then he shook his head, the nobles value the right people and decency very much, and it is estimated that even if they go to be a son-in-law, they are not competitive, so they should die of this heart.

The next morning, Audrey sent a butler's assistant to "assist" Hobert with Hugh's problem.

Generally speaking, housekeeping assistants in aristocratic homes are a promising profession, just like Earl Hall's house, there are several housekeeper assistants, three of whom take care of the lives of Earl Hall's three children, as well as assist them in running their respective businesses or properties.

When the future Earl of Hall dies, or when his children get married and marry, if nothing else, these three butler assistants will become the official butlers of Audrey and her two older brothers.

So the person Audrey sent was a lady in her thirties named Lisa, who was well-dressed and unsmiling.

After a brief pleasantry, Hobert asked Lisa to join him in the office's two-wheeled carriage, and the two went straight to the Minsk prison.

There are three prisons in Beckland, two on the edge of the city, and one in the city, which is called Minsk Prison because it is located on Minsk Street.

In Hobart's understanding, the Minsk prison is more like a detention center, where prisoners are usually held awaiting interrogation or trial.

Hobert had prepared the relevant documents yesterday, and after showing them to the prison guards, he was quickly given the opportunity to visit Hugh.

After waiting in the visitation room for a while, the door was opened again, and the prison guard brought in a short girl with a little baby fat on her face, her facial features were delicate and soft, but her eyebrows and eyes did not seem to have grown, and even a little green.

As far as the other party's height is less than 1.5 meters, Hobert can be sure that this is Hugh Dilcha.
