Chapter 1494 The Voice of Justice
Chapter 1495 "Miss Sally"
"I am very afraid of Master Jordan. All slaves who have grown up are afraid of him, except Leonard and Burruss Helen. These two people are fearless. Even if the devil comes to beat them with a stick, they will beat them."
It beats back... I'm a little afraid of Miss Sally. She is kind and kind when the master Jordan is not around, but when the master Jordan is present, she becomes obedient and can only say "yes". He makes her
She would do anything. One time he asked her to whip Nanny because she spilled some coffee when she handed him the coffee. Miss Sally spanked Nanny lightly, but her master Jordan said, 'Hit her hard, Sally.
, let her remember the feeling of being beaten. So Miss Sally withdrew her hand and slapped her grandma hard on the face. Then she returned to her seat and continued to pretend to have breakfast. After the master Jordan left, she came
She went to the kitchen, hugged her and cried, and she also cried while she patted her back gently. I loved Miss Sally when my master Jordan was not there."
Belle recited an interview transcript written by an American reporter to Georgiana, and Georgiana lay on the recliner and listened to her reading.
"Master Jordan's two sons both went to the battlefield. They were all dressed in military uniforms. Young Master Jordan is like Miss Sally, but Master Gregory is like Master Jordan. They even walk very similar. Young Master Jordan no longer
He has not come back from the battlefield, but it is really not easy to kill the young master Gregory. He is too despicable to die. The devil does not want him, and God does not want him. The young master's personality changes in one day.
Li Gaoli came home from vacation. He felt that he was very handsome wearing a clanking sword and shiny boots. He was a school officer, lieutenant or some other officer. As he was walking back and forth in the yard to show off,
Leonard muttered, "Look at that damn soldier," and just then the owner Jordan came. He stared at Leonard and asked, "What are you yelling about?" The tall Leonard was not afraid.
, he said, 'I'm talking about, look at that damn soldier.' Master Jordan's face began to turn red, as if blood was about to burst out. He turned to my dad and asked him to get the gun.
When Dad came back, Miss Sally came with her. Tears were streaming down her face. She ran up and grabbed Jordan's arm. The old master threw her away and took the gun from Dad. He pointed it at Jordan.
Nader asked him to pull off his jacket. Leonard pulled off his jacket and stood there like a giant, looking at the old master with a sneer. Miss Sally ran up again and stood at the gunpoint to confront Leonard.
In the middle of the room, the old master yelled at his father, asking him to pull this woman away and not block her, but no one pulled Miss Sally, and she didn't move away herself. She just stood there facing the old master, so the old master
I put down the gun, stepped forward and slapped Miss Sally to the ground, then grabbed the gun and shot Leonard in the chest, making a hole the size of a fist. I was frightened and ran to the barn.
Hidden in the attic, but even with my eyes closed, I could see Leonard lying on the ground with blood bleeding from the hole in his chest and a sneer on his lips."
Belle put down the report.
Neither of them spoke for a long time.
"What did you learn from this?" Georgiana asked.
"That Leonard has an unyielding soul." Belle said softly.
"Is that really what you think?" Georgiana smiled with her eyes closed.
"What do you think, madam?"
"Women are useless." Georgiana slowly opened her eyes, "Just like Sally, I wanted to stand between the gun and Leonard, but I had no strength and was easily knocked to the ground by the man.
"
Belle didn't speak, she gently flipped through the report.
"I'm more like the storyteller." Belle said, "It's just that I can't be like her and run to the attic to hide and cry."
"It's not in the story that she cried."
"She must have cried." Belle said firmly.
"That Rainier isn't such a bad person, right?" Georgiana asked. "I mean when he doesn't follow orders."
Belle was silent for a while and then said, "The French are generally pretty good. I heard that General Menou would even pull out a chair for his wife."
"The British are actually not perfect." Georgiana said, "But at least one thing is that the nobles will go to the battlefield, unlike the French nobles after Louis XIV, who did not perform military service or pay taxes as a privilege."
"That Mr. Gregory is like a little tyrant, but he is proud to serve in the army." Belle said.
"He participated in the Revolutionary War, and the United States finally got rid of British rule and became independent." Georgiana sighed, "Let's go for a walk."
Belle put down the newspaper in her hand, helped Georgiana stand up, and they came downstairs together.
Georgiana didn't pay much attention to the servants in the mansion. Usually they had to complete their work consciously and did not need to send an overseer like the plantation. But today a Mamluk was training a horse, and everyone was watching in the stable.
Sometimes the more you try to maintain your dominance, the more you feel that your control is weakening, just like the unruly horse that is trying its best to throw off the knight on it.
Is France alone at fault? Both sides are at fault, but then again, what's the use of good feelings? Louis XVI was a good man, but he died. Perhaps it was because of his curse that the news came from Saint-Barcelona.
Leak from Thelemi Island.
Rumors spread almost as fast as military intelligence, or even faster. Before Leclerc arrived in Saint-Domingue, the people on the island already knew what the expedition was doing.
Rochambeau Sr. participated in the North American War of Independence. People like Rochambeau Jr. were not a minority in Napoleon's army. Many nobles participated in that war.
In the past, France helped the United States become independent and break away from British control. This time it was its turn to lose control of this most valuable colony.
Georgiana remembered the story of the ghost ship. Maybe someone really heard the call of Louis XVI and came back from afar.
Compared with the prosperous local banks in the UK, there are very few local banks in France. If agricultural lending can allow BNP Paribas to leave Paris and open branches in other places, it will be better than staying within Paris now.
But that may also cause other problems. Land speculation can also cause social crises. Through the war, Napoleon took back the Austrian nobles' land in Belgium. They could get a lot of money from selling these lands to the Jews, but the local farmers would be very unhappy and divided them into small
After the land block, the farmers can afford to buy the land, which will please them, but it is hard to say that they will be happy.
They are still farming, and their lives have not changed for thousands of years. Sometimes what people want is a little change and a sense of freshness. This is why farmers want to build roads.
Georgiana could die and lock herself in a high tower, but these young Mamluks couldn't. It happened that Miss Chevigny wanted to perform for her. The theater had been cleared out anyway, so why not just use it?
So Georgiana whispered to Belle and asked her to tell Matilda to prepare for this.
She already has a female dragoon escort and a female translator, so why not a female housekeeper?
Loyalty and conscience are sometimes different, although they are both emotions that literati think are worthy of praise.
This is the "neutral" method she chose. She does not choose to be profitable like some people, but stands between the gun and the victim like that fool Sally.
They were both slaves who took up arms. The "daddy" who listened to his master's order and brought the gun was a different person than Leonard. This was really a good story. She thought it was worth promoting, but she didn't know how to write it into a script.
Can it be approved later?
