, Hamid himself is also a noble, and his rule is originally maintained by the nobles.
Hamid, who is well versed in power and the path to rule, knows very well that he cannot offend these nobles easily.
Especially under the current circumstances, Hamid is not willing to face internal and external troubles.
As for the Ottoman civilians, their taxes were already high enough.
If taxes are increased, their underlying foundation will be shaken.
Without these civilians, the Ottoman Empire would have ceased to exist.
In the current situation, Hamid is already riding a tiger.
On the one hand, they must maintain their rule, and on the other hand, they must continue the war.
After all, Tsarist Russia is very far away from attacking the Black Sea. If it is delayed long enough, perhaps the balance of victory will appear on their side.
Ever since Alice married Jiang Xuan, Hamid has always felt that his palace has become much deserted.
He thought of the person he had always admired in his life, Liu Zheng!
For Liu Zheng, Hamid only has respect in his heart.
Without Liu Zheng, Osman's strength would have been exhausted long ago.
Liu Zheng reminded Hamid at the beginning to reform the current social system and adopt a constitutional monarchy.
But at that time, he was not willing to let go of the power in his hands. By the time he wanted to reform now, Osman was already trapped in the quagmire of war and had no way to get out.
It will be even more difficult to promote a constitutional monarchy at this time!
"Bring a pen and paper," Hamid ordered.
Paper and pen were soon presented, and Hamid wrote a letter and handed it to his bodyguard: "Leave it in the hands of Mr. Liu Zheng."
"yes……"
After the guard went down, Hamid began to look forward to it. Liu Zheng might have a way to solve his current problem.
…
And in America at this time.
After the circus kidnapping incident, Liu Zheng and Xie Chan did not leave Florida.
He found the local Almis Office, an intelligence agency belonging to Long Yan.
"Check, I want to know everything about this circus!" Liu Zheng said coldly!
To actually dare to kidnap him and Xie Chan in broad daylight is a shame!
Liu Zheng never thought that he would end it all at once. Even if the circus leader died, he would find out the forces behind him and kill him!
And just when Liu Zheng sent someone to investigate the matter, a special guest came from Almis Office.
"Director Marshall, if there is anything that requires you to go there personally."
Dunn from the Almis Firm warmly entertained Florida's most influential Sheriff's Department Chief.
Marshall looked at the brewed Longyan tea, hummed softly, and threw a thick file on the table.
He said calmly: "We need to know where the individual is now in Florida, and help us find a vendor who wants to do dental business."
"We don't want white people, we want black people. They are very experienced in dealing with their own compatriots." Director Marshall said with a faint smile.
Dunn understands that there is an unwritten rule in Florida.
Slave traders, black people would be better off doing it, without them knowing black people well.
After Director Marshall drank all the tea in his cup, he stood up and left and said, "It needs to be done as soon as possible, preferably within this week."
Dunn nodded slightly, and after seeing Director Marshall off, he picked up the file bag left by Marshall and slowly opened it.
In the thick portfolio, only a very small amount of information can be used.
Everything else is reward.
The greater the reward, the more dangerous it is.
But Dunn likes challenging things. He looked at the information with only five pieces of paper with a slight smile, and his expression suddenly changed.
"Why is it him!"
There were two portraits on the paper, one of which he had just met, and he also had the Dragon Flame Token that he had seen before!
And this token was something he had seen from a great figure in Longyan when he was in France.
Made of white jade, it is difficult to fake it.
That person must be the big shot who came to Florida from Long Yan!
"How could he be brought to the police station..." Dunn took a deep breath and murmured.
He looked at the rest of his information and couldn't help but murmur: "In the Florida circus, all the performers and the director were killed and there were no survivors. According to other people's meetings..."
Looking down further, Dunn almost suffered a cardiac arrest from fright!
Others don't know the details of this circus, but he knows it very well. As a detective, understanding these is the most basic attempt.
This circus was a slave trader supported by the British.
Although they appear to be a circus, in fact their leader is engaged in some shady activities.
For example, the slave trade!
Another example is trafficking!
But he didn't know the power behind this circus. When he saw this information, Dunn suddenly realized it!
The director of the public security station is the backend of this slave trader!
He had to quickly remind the Longyan man to leave here as soon as possible. Dunn hurriedly took his coat and walked out.
Florida was given to Britain by the Spanish.
Britain has been working here for many years.
Therefore, many residents of the city supported British rule.
Moreover, most of this place is a plantation economy. For them, slave merchants are the tools they need to make money, and they are also the people they need most here.
After all, the workers used on plantations are this kind of slaves.
If this big man really falls into the hands of Britain, his fate can be imagined.
Those are all beings that eat people without spitting out their bones.
At this time, Liu Zheng brought Xie Chan to the house they rented in Florida.
This is also an industry of Long Yan.
But what Liu Zheng didn't know was that when he showed up, he was already being targeted.
The Sheriff's Department released information about his reward.
"Liu Zheng, how about we take them out of here first."
"After all, the current situation is a bit dangerous."
Liu Zheng looked at the black people who had been in the room for a long time. They were now wearing decent clothes.
"I will arrange for them to go to a city near us as soon as possible, but I have to settle this account in Florida before leaving."
Xie Chan nodded, this is the best choice.
Liu Zheng said to them: "You can rest here and I will arrange your departure. If you want to return to Africa, there is no problem."
The black men nodded, but they had not spoken a word since arriving.
Perhaps because they have encountered too many misfortunes, they seem to have lost the ability to speak.
Liu Zheng sighed. He recalled that among the knowledge he had learned in his previous life, the notorious slave trade seemed to be nothing more than an emotionless description of an incident.
The deleted photos and digital interpretations don’t make much sense.
But when I saw it, I realized that everything was not different!
The black people returned to their rooms under the leadership of the servants, and at this moment, Xie Chan suddenly saw her uncovered window. The sunlight outside was dazzling and she could not see clearly outside.
"Liu Zheng, why is the window open?"
Suddenly, there was a bang!
Gunshots resounded throughout the building!
