He Tong's whole body was red and swollen from being burned. He couldn't bear it anymore and begged, "Good... good girl, please... please, please... stop quickly, I'm going to be burned to death!"寯
The maid said: "It's not difficult to stop. You just need to tell me one thing and I will cool you down immediately."
When He Tong heard this, he nodded and said, "Girl... Miss, tell me, I will tell you the truth."
The maid asked: "Why did you and Mr. Huang come so late to ask to see the master?"
"This..." He Tong thought to himself: "Sure enough, they want to know the purpose of my trip. If I tell them here, they will not want to meet the Kou Governor. Wouldn't my dream of promotion and wealth be ruined?"
After just a moment's hesitation, the maid sneered and said, "You really followed the old saying - a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water! Come on, add another pot of hot water to me!"
When He Tong heard this, he was so frightened that he screamed: "I said! I said! Stop pouring it!"
! "
The maid laughed and said, "Wouldn't it be over already? Why waste so much of our water? Tell me, what are you doing here?"
He Tong thought: "Survival is the most important thing right now. As for the good things of getting promoted and getting rich, you have to live to enjoy it!"
When the maid saw that He Tong remained silent, she said angrily: "You don't want to talk anymore, do you? Come on, keep pouring it for me!"
He Tong hurriedly shouted: "I... I said! It's just... I can't move my limbs, and my head... reaction is a bit slow. Please... girl, let me think about it!"
The maid said: "Stop playing tricks! This soul-forgetting water can only paralyze your limbs and make you unable to exert your strength. It has no impact on your head at all. Speak quickly. If you don't say it, you don't need to say it. I tell you, the yellow man next door If the manager had told you first, nothing would have happened to you!"
When He Tong heard this, his heart trembled, and he thought to himself: "Is it possible... could it be that Director Huang was also soaked in hot water by them?" After thinking about it again, he felt something was wrong. "Manager Huang is the housekeeper of the house and a popular person in front of the military governor. How dare these little girls abuse lynching on him? This little girl is definitely deceiving me with her words."
He Tong blinked and looked at the little maid in front of him. He saw a pair of slender auspicious eyes on her freckled face. Her eyes were clear and transparent, and she didn't look like she was lying. Seeing this scene, He Tong's heart ached again: "That's not right. Behind these girls is Mrs. Sun. That woman is a power-hungry master. It's not okay to provide Manager Huang with some means to achieve his goals." Impossible. If Manager Huang had said it first, then... wouldn't I be scalded to death here?"
Thinking of this, he hurriedly shouted: "Manager Huang doesn't... I don't know the details! This... I discovered this in the first place, I... I'll tell you everything!"
The maid nodded and said, "Tell me, if you try any more tricks, I won't talk nonsense. Do you see the two pots of hot water over there? I'll give them to you directly."
He Tong nodded and said, "I don't dare! Actually... In fact, Manager Huang and I came to see the Kou Governor... for the purpose of disrupting the party."
The maid said: "What kind of gangster? Please explain clearly!"
He Tongtong: "Girl, you are in the inner courtyard and don't know what is going on outside the house. About two months ago, a group of rogue gangs suddenly broke into the city and blew up the arena at the foot of Qinglong Mountain, causing countless casualties to innocent people. It is said that they They want to bring explosives into the city and continue to do evil. Now the government has put the whole city under martial law and is conducting door-to-door inspections, striving to bring this group of rebellious gangs to justice in the shortest possible time."
The maid said: "So, do you know where these gangsters are hiding?"
He Tong shook his head and said: "This... this villain doesn't know."
The maid said angrily: "Then what's the use of saying this?! Are you kidding us?"
He Tong hurriedly said: "The little... villain knows a more... more important secret. These rogue gangs are not just fighting alone, but colluding with many officials in the court. There is an important person who records among them. The list is called...what is it called Lanpu? I...I know where this Lanpu is."
The maid heard this, was silent for a moment, and asked, "Is everything you said true?"
He Tong said loudly: "How dare a villain deceive a girl?! Then
Replace the Zabini family?
Kingsley did have this idea, but it was not to replace the Zabini family, but to get back what belonged to his family.
He is responsible for protecting the Muggle Prime Minister. He is the person who best understands the difference between the Muggle world and the wizarding world. He is also the first to know that the top brass in the Muggle world actually control very strong magical forces, so he took refuge early. to the Muggle government.
His closeness to the Muggle government naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of many people. Then Mrs. Zabini rose to the top by relying on her beauty and took away the school director's seat belonging to their family. This was a shame.
Although the school director position is just a small school director position with only voting rights and the right to know, this position is the card that allows him to gain a foothold in the Muggle world. After losing this seat, he has become a high-level member of the Muggle world. In his eyes, his status plummeted.
This also made him understand one thing, that is, power is a necessity. If you want to make a difference in this world, you must have some unique power.
And now Zhuo Qun asked him if he could become the school director, which would put the power in his hands.
"Your will, sir."
Kingsley bowed to Zhuo Qun with a smile on his face.
Zhuo Qun looked at Kingsley in front of him and remembered that this man could communicate calmly with the Dursleys, and that he could communicate equally with Muggles who were looked down upon by wizards. No one in the wizarding world could do that, just because of their shame. Harry Potter also couldn't communicate calmly with his aunt's family, because he also looked down on Muggles.
This is a kind of open discrimination in the entire magic world. I really don't blame the guys on No. 10 for wanting to deal with the magic world.
An unknown and hidden minority with a pitifully small number and causing a lot of problems from time to time is something that a consul would want to deal with. After all, these people know when they will cause some trouble.
Plan No. 10 had already been decided decades ago during the Fat Man's time. However, the little Muggle wizards who appeared from time to time stopped them, because no one knew about their plans. Will the child become a wizard at some point?
So this plan has always been at the third to last level of government bills. This is a level where no one will see it. Everyone knows it. This is also an unspoken rule. As long as you want to keep everything confidential, then Put it in the government bill, because no one will read it.
And if you want to leak secrets, then give the documents to those ministers. Those idiots have never disappointed anyone. They will always complete the desired leaks as quickly as possible.
Therefore, this bill to clean up the wizarding world has been kept well. After the death of the last insider, no one knew about this bill.
The current Muggle government doesn't know anything about it. They only know about the mystery and weirdness of the magical world. As for the rest, they don't know.
Because according to tradition, before each prime minister comes to power, those officials will restore all the files and train them again. As for what the predecessor did, that is, national secrets cannot be leaked.
So Kingsley was completely fooled by this tradition. He was recruited by the previous boss, who has nothing to do with the current boss. And his situation, no one knows at all, everyone just I think he is the bodyguard of this term and has nothing to do with the previous term.
I have to say this is a good tradition.
After Kingsley told Zhuo Qun that he could take the position, he nodded before. This is really good. At least No. 10 has a foot here. According to the ideas of those politicians, as long as they can have a foot in the good, they will definitely Will not forget.
This will be a good show. I really don’t know how the super long standby will deal with No. 10 who wants to share the food.
When we arrived at Gringotts, the goblins here were already waiting at the door. After they gathered together, their short bodies looked like bowling pins.
But Zhuo Qun didn't mean to look down on them.
After all, people who can control the wizarding world's finances should be careful.
Lanpu is right here..."
He Tong was about to say something, but the maid covered his mouth and whispered in his ear: "Don't tell me, I don't want to know!"
He Tong was confused and suspicious when he heard the sound of footsteps and two people walked out of the inner hall. There is a person with a graceful figure and a delicate appearance. It is Mrs. Sun who just talked to Huang Yixing. The other man was short in stature, with a big belly and a round face. He was dressed in silk and satin, which showed his wealth. He stood next to Mrs. Sun and looked at him with a girly smile.
When He Tong saw this, he was ashamed and thought to himself: "Oh no, Mrs. Sun saw me naked. If she gets angry, she might have to cut off all the fat on my body and refine it into oil!" This...what should I do?"
Just when they were frightened, they saw three maids in the house saluting the two of them: "See you, sir, see you, madam!"
The short fat man nodded and said, "Stay back."
The three maids accepted the order and bowed their heads before retreating, leaving He Tong alone in the bucket, dumbfounded. The short fat man stepped forward, glanced at He Tong, turned to Mrs. Sun and said, "Madam, give him the antidote, get him a set of decent clothes, and ask him to get up from the water and go to the outer hall to talk."
[In view of the general environment,
Mrs. Sun nodded, took out a dark green porcelain bottle from her arms and handed it to the fat man. The fat man took it, pulled out the stopper and poured some red powder into the bucket, then capped the bottle and said to the congratulatory channel: "How did you learn about the whereabouts of the list of traitors?"
He Tong was already shaking with fear, and asked tremblingly: "You...are you Master Kou?"
The fat man smiled slyly and said, "I guess you still have some brains. Put on your clothes quickly, we'll wait for you in the outer hall." After saying this, he and Mrs. Sun turned and left.
Not long after, two more maids came in and brought clean clothes. The forgetful soul water was not weakly poisonous. Although He Tong used the antidote, his hands and feet still refused to obey his orders. The two maids spent a lot of effort to lift He Tong up from the barrel, and carried him to the seat beside him step by step. They moved his legs and feet to change his clothes. After all this tossing, the three of them were so exhausted that they were all sweating profusely.
He Tong sat on the chair for a while, feeling his hands and feet slowly regaining consciousness. So he said to the two maids: "Excuse me, miss, help me go to see the Kou Governor."
The two maids panted and said, "You...can't you still walk by yourself?" "Yes, why don't you slow down and go see the master by yourself. We really can't help you."
He Tong smiled bitterly and said, "To be fair, girl, if I could move on my own, I would definitely not trouble you two. However, my hands and feet are still numb and it is difficult to walk, so I would like to ask you to make it easier for me."
The two maids were about to talk when they suddenly heard someone in the inner hall saying, "Don't believe his lies! You've finished your work, why don't you retreat and wait?"
