"Mr. Fourth, I know what happened. If you want to comfort me, thank you. I have already felt your kindness, but I will not give up. Even if I am alone, the plan will continue."
Zhou Jinru shook his head. It seemed that William took his action as a courtesy and said, "William, you don't have to be so frustrated. I said 50%, at least half the probability of success."
William still couldn't figure it out and asked hurriedly: "Why?"
Zhou Jinru glanced at the nobles behind him who were still discussing heatedly, and whispered: "Is there a second exit here?"
"Second exit? Of course there is. Why do you ask?"
"We're ready to go."
"Walk?"
Zhou Jinru didn't explain, but went back and said a few words in Kelxi's ear. The latter picked up his coat and walked away without stopping.
She looked at the man next to her: "I thought you didn't want to remind me."
"How come, haha."
Zhou Jinru laughed twice. In the eyes of others, they were like friends who had private matters to discuss. They walked to the edge of the gathering venue, while William directed the nobles present to evacuate. However, a few nobles stopped him and asked what should be done next. manage.
At this time, the owner of Dream Castle came over, accompanied by the hot-tempered Earl of Arizona.
The young and energetic earl stared at Zhou Jinru. William seemed to trust him very much. What was the origin of this man?
"Earl Arizona, nice to meet you."
The first person to speak was Kelsi. Her status as a monk helped a lot. Even nobles had to treat her with courtesy.
"Brother Kelsey, I haven't seen you for a few years, but you are still as young and beautiful as before. My wife is very curious about what kind of cosmetics you use."
"There is only one secret to staying young. Don't worry, don't stay up late, and maintain good exercise habits."
"This is actually quite difficult for us."
Arizona exchanged a few pleasantries, then quickly focused on Zhou Jinru, and whispered: "Mr. Cotman, I don't understand why William trusts you so much."
"Actually, I don't quite understand. Maybe he prefers to trust the royal family and ignores personal judgment."
Zhou Jinru didn't take out the rivet because he couldn't trust all the people here. There were more than a dozen nobles, so they had to be careful.
"In fact, we have made almost no progress on these matters. Similar meetings have been held three times, each time wasting time on irrelevant matters."
Zhou Jinru was not surprised at all. Victorians have always been like this. He smiled softly and said: "This tradition will be broken soon. To be precise, we will see it soon."
"What?"
Joel looked at the anxious William and didn't understand why Mr. Fourth said that.
"Do you have a carriage?"
"I have."
Earl Arizona stared into Zhou Jinru's eyes.
"Can you please take William and the monk away in a carriage? Also, Mr. Earl, I need your help with something later. I want to ask in advance, do you know how to get to the police station for bail?"
Earl Arizona: "?"
Before he could ask, two servants walked in hurriedly and said a few words in William's ear. He couldn't help but look at Zhou Jinru, who smiled at him.
"what happens?"
Kelsey said calmly: "No need to ask, people from the police station will come to make a surprise inspection."
"What?!"
How could this happen? Their secret meeting at the Twilight Bar was kept very secret, and only those who came to attend the meeting knew about it. The bar was not open in the morning, so there was only one possibility that the police station's surprise inspection was directed at them.
Zhou Jinru said nothing, but Kelxi had an expression of understanding.
"We take the back door and must be ahead of everyone else."
The servant led a few people away. When they went downstairs, there was a commotion in the bar hall. It was obvious that the police had controlled all entrances and exits.
"How do we get out?"
They were blocked on the second floor. From the gap in the stairs, they saw Huron wearing a tall hat wiping his nails with a handkerchief and directing his men to surround the Twilight Bar.
Zhou Jinru pondered for two seconds, then put his head to Joel's ear: "Mr. Joel, can you fight?"
Who hasn’t had a fight?
He looked at the man strangely and heard him ask a second question:
"Are you going to bleed?"
"What?"
There was a sharp pain on the side of his face, he became dizzy, lost his balance, and staggered down the stairs on the second floor.
"who?!"
"Chief Protector!!"
Suddenly, there was a commotion downstairs, and suddenly a person rolled down the stairs. Everyone who saw it would be stunned.
Huron frowned. The operation had just begun. Why did an accident happen?
"Hahahaha, you bastard, I've wanted to beat you up for a long time, damn! Let you plot against me!"
A staggering figure walked down the stairs, the heels of his leather shoes making a thumping sound on the wooden tread.
Joel, who was dizzy after falling down, knew that he must have failed, and he was so furious that he even hit himself! After so many years, no one has ever beaten himself like this!
"How dare you hit me!"
He couldn't control his emotions. In front of so many people, he rushed forward, raised his fist and said hello in the face.
Zhou Jinru bent down and avoided Joel's heavy blow. The latter stumbled and hit the wall. The two of them struggled with each other like drunken men.
It is normal for someone to fight in a bar. The police officers who originally surrounded the bar had their arms folded and their faces looked like they were watching a show.
All this was not the case in Huron's eyes. He got a secret phone call saying that someone was plotting to overthrow Parliament, and they were all well-known people, including William.
As a newcomer in Londinium's political scene, the police chief who succeeded the old nobles naturally had thoughts about his former boss. There was a good opportunity now, and of course he couldn't let it go.
These two people came out of nowhere to start a fight. Even if they said there was no conspiracy, even fools would not believe it.
Ignore these two drunkards. If they want to fight, go outside and do it. Don't let it affect your arrest!
Huron waved his hand as if to shoo away flies, asking the constable to chase them away.
At this time, the fight between Zhou Jinru and Joel had come to an end. It was obvious that the owner of the dream castle was no match for the explorer. After being punched several times in a row, he fell to the ground.
Zhou Jinru straightened up, looked at Huron with a half-smile, and gasped: "Hey, why are you here?"
This guy is...
Huron didn't recognize it at first, but now he remembered that this guy was the bastard who mocked him the day before yesterday!
But he is Colombian and cannot move!
Huron looked unhappy, and was determined to drive this drunkard away first.
"I didn't expect you to be a bandit leader, bringing people to rob homes today?"
Huron: "???"
What do you mean? !
"Isn't your Victoria a den of thieves? Is this your civilized world?"
For no reason, Huron felt a surge of anger in his heart. What could this drunkard who likes to talk nonsense have to be proud of? If there hadn't been a problem with Victoria's decision-making, those cities in the wasteland would not have been given a chance to become independent!
Huron snapped: "Watch your words!"
"No problem, you're right, I'll leave now."
Zhou Jinru walked past Huron in three steps, smelling of alcohol, which made the latter take two steps back. When he walked to the door, he turned around, bent slightly, and said in a frivolous tone: "Mr. Huron, I wish you a good day." Have a relaxing and happy life.”
He took two more steps, lost his balance, and sat in the corner, unable to stand up.
Until now, Huron's search could not continue, but he received reports from his subordinates that there had indeed been a secret meeting here, but everyone had left.
gone.
gone.
gone……
The furious Huron suddenly lost his mind, rushed to the door of the bar, grabbed the drunkard who was slumped in the corner, raised his fists and beat him twice. His actions frightened his subordinates, who quickly hugged him from behind. Trying to pull two people apart.
"Master Chief, please don't do this!"
Huron's tall hat also fell on the roadside. When he was about to pick it up, he was picked up by a little beggar wearing rags and ran away like a fly.
"I……"
He was so angry that he weakly raised his hand and put it down again. He turned around and saw Zhou Jinru being held up by two police officers. He could no longer control his emotions. He rushed over and punched the latter in the face again, killing the two policemen. The police officer also fell to the ground.
"Catch them back! Catch them all, these two drunkards!"
Huron blushed and roared loudly.
…
That afternoon, the office of the Chief of Londinium Police Station.
"Confused!"
Photos like snowflakes fell on Huron. The originally high-spirited young noble looked pale and did not dare to lower his head to look at the photo that fell at his feet.
A middle-aged man in a tuxedo banged his desk. His eyes were full of evil, and he spat: "You idiot, you actually hit a Colombian with legal status in the street! And you were filmed Come! If the newspaper hadn’t suppressed the article, you would have become the fastest minister to leave office in Victoria’s history!!”
Huron pursed his lips. In the morning, he didn't know what was going on. He suddenly lost control of his emotions. That hateful Colombian still wanted to punch him a few more times to relieve his hatred!
He tried hard to argue: "Lord Earl West, this is definitely a conspiracy! They are diverting attention. I have received intelligence that those guys hiding in the dark are plotting a rebellion and trying to overthrow the Parliament. I am about to stop them. Conspiracy, but these two people jumped out to fight, well, they must be in the same group!"
Earl West stood up, came to Huron, and slapped his face hard: "Huron, you have to do your own thing, do you understand what I mean?"
"yes."
"Our country is at a very delicate juncture. We cannot make any mistakes before the dust settles. The situation you reported will be taken seriously. As for the Colombian, let him go and don't cause any more trouble."
"……yes."
Earl West stared at Huron with his eagle-like eyes: "You must do this well, or I will replace you with someone else, do you understand?"
"yes!"
Huron stood up straight.
He was just the chief of the police station who was pushed to the front desk. There were many people among the new aristocrats waiting to take over and were eyeing his position.
"Very well, Huron, well, do what you have to do."
When Huron left his office, his forehead was covered with cold sweat. He knew that he had just walked through the gate of hell.
When the battle between the new aristocracy and the old aristocracy reaches a critical moment, they will be extra vigilant at the slightest sign of trouble, and no mistakes can be made in any link.
He was furious at the thought of having to free the man himself. Huron straightened his tall hat. Yes, he had a brand new hat. The previous one had been picked up and he would definitely not be able to get it back, even if he could. He doesn't want to come back either.
Everyone in the police station knew that there was a big shot there, and their boss, Huron, had been scolded and might be looking for a gas pump, so everyone was cautious.
Huron grabbed a police officer and said in a deep voice: "How about that Colombian drunk?"
"I'm sober. I asked for water ten minutes ago. Someone already brought it to me."
Oh shit.
Huron wanted to throw his hat.
He was completely disgraced.
You must not fall into my hands!
He was secretly angry in his heart.
He forced a smile on his face: "Take me to the cell to meet him."
…
Zhou Jinru remembered that he only drank half a bottle of red wine, and his memory of what happened next was very vague. When he woke up, the corners of his mouth were purple and one of his eye sockets was also black and blue. He hadn't fought like this with someone for a long time.
"woke up?"
A man's depressed voice came from the side.
Joel was locked up next door to him.
The cell in the Victoria Police Department is only a few square meters in size and is tightly surrounded by iron bars. There is a wooden bed covered with a thin layer of quilts. Don't expect these things to keep you warm.
Zhou Jinru touched the corner of his mouth lightly, feeling a stinging pain. He decided to forget the pain for the time being, and turned to look at Joel. The owner of Dream Castle also had a bruised nose and face. They were now inmates who had been in the same cell together.
"What time is it now?"
Joel sat cross-legged on the bed and hummed: "It's four o'clock in the afternoon and you slept for six hours."
He has never seen anyone with such a bad drinking ability. A little bit of red wine makes him want to sleep all day long.
"I'm a little thirsty, is there any water?"
Zhou Jinru grabbed the iron fence door and shook it for a while. Then a uniformed police officer came over, placed a pot of water in front of the iron fence, and then ran away as if running away.
"Won't you send it in?"
Joel sneered: "You think you're staying in a hotel?!"
Zhou Jinru drank a lot of water with great effort and sighed: "I miss the veal steak a little bit."
Except for a little something he had eaten in the morning, he had not touched food all day and was now dizzy with hunger.
"Joel, make a bet."
"What bet?"
…
Huron sighed in his heart, he had to do it no matter how reluctant he was.
Release that bastard with your own hands to show that you are not deliberately targeting Colombians, so as not to cause unnecessary disputes.
When he and two police officers walked to the holding cell, they only heard someone inside say: "...I bet that within an hour, the bandit leader will come to release him."
