Zhou Jinru said he didn't care: "These are extraordinary times and I am a stranger. They have the right to doubt me."
"Thank you. Please find a seat and sit down. We have a meeting."
William showed a wry smile. Their enemies were having a meeting, and they also had to have a meeting. This seemed to be a Victorian tradition, which slowed down the efficiency of work.
The meeting was convened by a young nobleman whom Zhou Jinru didn't know. After only saying a few words, he handed over the leadership to William. It was hard to see that a police chief had such great power. It seemed that the people gathered here More than a dozen nobles were willing to believe him.
"William has Aslan blood. He is a noble and the only person here who can be related to the royal family."
Kelxi was sitting on the left side of Zhou Jinru. She turned her head and explained that the lynx today was just like the one she saw last night. She was wearing a handsome formal suit and had her hair combed to the sides. It was really... good.
A hint of the fragrance of shampoo entered his nose. Zhou Jinru was not interested in listening to William's speech. He looked at Kelsey's side face with a distracted look. It must be said that her beauty was guaranteed to turn heads wherever she went.
"You're not interested?"
Kelxi also noticed Zhou Jinru's changes, and immediately sat upright, no longer so close to him.
Zhou Jinru shook his head and crossed his arms. In this group, the only person he really had contact with was William, and William said he trusted him, but it was impossible to put enough trust in him. In other words, now is not the time.
A young nobleman spoke: "...In fact, my family is thinking of ways to transport supplies from other mobile cities. The fleet will take time on the road."
The noble man named Arizona stood up: "We must first deal with the enemies who are deepening their control over this city. I believe that more companions are waiting to respond. Rescue His Majesty the King is the right choice."
Zhou Jinru looked at Kelxi: "Do you think he is right?"
"The whole of Victoria is still unaware of the great changes in Londinium. As long as the king is here, the clarion call for counterattack will be sounded immediately. Do you have any other ideas?"
Zhou Jinru smiled: "I have an idea that none of them will agree with."
He grinned, revealing a murderous look.
"you……"
"It's no use, they won't listen."
Zhou Jinru was not an aristocrat, not even a Victorian. In his eyes, with this situation in front of him, instead of going to the table with a few chips, he would take out his revolver and kill the gambler on the other side with one shot, and directly set off the opponent before the enemy was ready. table, and kill those who try to use the rules to gain an advantage.
He doesn't care what the nobles are like, and he also doesn't care what the nobles think.
However, William cares, and the old nobles gathered here care.
They set the rules and they care.
But the new nobles who had gained huge benefits didn't care at all, otherwise they wouldn't have captured the royal family. They couldn't care less, they had to show that they cared.
In Zhou Jinru's eyes, there are only four words that are ridiculous, both serious and serious.
Kelsey said softly: "You have a strong murderous aura."
"Don't say that, I haven't killed many people."
In fact, Zhou Jinru suspected that these extremely cold thoughts came from the defender No. 004. Under the influence of the other party, he also began to become cold.
After several nobles communicated, William rubbed his brows tiredly and amplified his voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, we are gathered here today and we must have an answer, because there will be a good opportunity within two or three days. If If we miss it, our situation will become more difficult.”
"According to the information I received, several warehouses near Burlington Market are about to be emptied. The merchants who are hoarding goods are already selling grain at a price five times higher than the market price. They must have hoarded a large amount of grain in their hands. This will It greatly improves our chances of winning.”
"Earl Arizona, I disagree with your view. Businessmen violate market rules and should be dealt with by law. We should not impose lynchings."
"Do you think those new nobles who are discussing how to deal with His Majesty the King follow the rules?"
The hot-tempered earl scolded the other party in a sharp voice, which made the other party speechless.
William did not express his opinion and kept rubbing his eyebrows. He said: "Guys, I met a new friend on the way here. Maybe some people know him, maybe no one knows him. He is Thomas Cote, the famous Colombian explorer. Man, codenamed Mr. Four, regarding the issue of food, Mr. Four, what do you think?"
At first, some people cast curious looks, but when William mentioned Colombia, most of the curious looks turned into undisguised disdain and slight alienation.
Zhou Jinru leaned back and glanced at the dozen or so nobles present. There were young and beautiful ladies, handsome men, well-dressed young men, and mature and steady old men.
“Everyone, even if we discuss here from morning to curfew, we cannot solve the actual problem. Every minute and second that passes, our chances of winning are getting lower. In other words, we are grabbing time instead of continuing to waste it.
I have only one opinion about those merchants who hoard food. When dealing with these people, we must distinguish who are our friends and who are our enemies. For friends, we must consolidate their positions. For enemies, we must use Strong tactics. "
He stopped talking only here.
The merchants who can be named in Londinium have major nobles behind them. No matter what they do, they are bound to be offended, because it is more difficult to touch the interests than to touch the soul. Let alone increase the price by five times, even if it is ten Times, a hundred times, as long as they can seek greater benefits, they will do it, even if they are attacked with swords afterwards.
"I think Mr. Fourth is right. We should immediately arrange manpower to investigate whether those nobles are behind this. We will adjourn the meeting temporarily."
The nobles were whispering to each other, some were secretly looking at Mr. Fourth, and some were casting wary glances.
William drank a glass of water, walked to Zhou Jinru, and whispered: "Let's talk."
Zhou Jinru said to Kelsi beside him: "Excuse me."
He followed the Liborian, and the two of them stood in front of a portrait of the king at the end of the conference room, neither of them speaking.
After a long time, William said weakly: "Mr. Fourth, how much hope do you think we have?"
"Before today, I thought it was 30%, but now..."
He made a gesture, and William said in surprise: "Fifty percent?"
Judging from the content of the meeting, differences have emerged among the nobles, which is a devastating blow to the entire plan. I believe many people are beginning to doubt whether it can succeed.
At this time, Mr. Fourth also gave a 50% possibility, which William really didn't expect.
