"Brother-in-law, you have to stand up for us." Arthur looked sad and stood in front of the captain's room of the mining branch in the North District with his three men. There sat a man about fifty years old with a lot of white hair.

A man with a somewhat muscular waistline.

Poole raised his eyelids and glanced at his brother-in-law casually, never letting himself worry.

"What do you want me to say for you? You are provocative first, you are the first to take action. It's okay to bully these little people in the mining area and industrial area, but you actually attack these little black people. It's because you don't like your elder sister and younger brother.

Do you want to reduce the burden on your family?"

Arthur pretended to be aggrieved and said: "But, our family is not someone who can be bullied. As a hereditary baron family, I, as the eldest son, was thrown from the third floor. How can I not take revenge?"

Go back?"

Baron, you are a big fool. Poole slapped his head. He was seduced by the name of the eldest daughter of the baron family and married this guy's sister who is nearly forty years old. Now he has to wipe his ass.

"Baron, haha, you know it's 1887 now, right? It's long past the time when aristocrats only talked about themselves. How much cash can your family get now? Can you run for a district council member?"

This question confused Arthur. His family was indeed an empty shell now. His two younger brothers even needed their own wages to support them. However, the family still wanted to save face. The old house on the edge of the King's District was located in the third building.

The small high-rise building was sold and then rented back. The family even went to the trouble of hiring a full set of servants.

"However, the glory of the nobility remains the same, and civilians are not eligible to run for seats in the House of Lords. Isn't this the best proof."

Looking at his stubborn brother-in-law, Poole had to continue: "Is it difficult to have a knighthood? After donating 10,000 pounds to the royal family or the church, the title of knight will be awarded, or after a banker and factory owner marries the only daughter of a down-and-out noble.

, asking your poor father-in-law to transfer the title to you, I said, if our father-in-law really can't survive, don't you still have an eighteen-year-old sister?"

Faced with his brother-in-law's rhetoric, Arthur knew that this point made no sense, so he had no choice but to stir up another conflict.

"However, they also insulted us ordinary police officers and said that you only deserve to receive a weekly salary of 8 pounds and live like a pauper. You will be stuck here for the rest of your life."

After Poole dug out the tobacco and filled his pipe, Arthur hurried over to help him light the pipe.

He took a deep breath and then spoke.

"You made it up yourself, and you didn't have any brains at all. Do you know the rank of the new Section 9 Chief?"

Arthur recalled, and then said: "The epaulette on his shoulder has two silver stars, and he is a junior police inspector like you, brother-in-law."

"Then you know that just a week ago, this guy was wearing the same uniform as you, and even had two v's on the shoulder straps?"

It took Arthur a while to react, and he hurriedly said: "Impossible, absolutely impossible, how could this guy triple jump, from a junior sergeant to a junior police inspector in one week."

Poole took a long drag and blew the smoke into Arthur's face.

"To be precise, it took him half a year to work as a clerk in a branch in Konya District when he graduated last year at the age of 21. He solved several major cases one after another, including the serial murder case at the port and the assassination of Representative Frey. This year, he gave

He was promoted to the special operations department. Of course it is impossible for a 22-year-old police inspector in a normal police department. For a little black man, as long as you are capable and have great connections, how can it be impossible?"

"Then, brother-in-law, can't I take revenge? Do we want to lose the face of our Mod family?"

"Oh, what kind of reputation does your Mode family have? He graduated from Eggsburg University, and his tutor is the brother of the Kingdom's Prime Minister. It is said that Lord Sombra is very optimistic about him. Lord Sombra personally approved his transfer this time.

.Our police and their special police are one and the same. The largest police chief in the Kailang area is optimistic about the future of the police. What kind of face does your Mode family have? Prepare some gifts and send them to the eight families with me before they go on vacation this week."

After being scolded by his brother-in-law, although Arthur was unconvinced, he also knew that the 22-year-old police inspector was not of the same rank as him, so he left obediently.

"Boss, what did the captain say?"

A group of boys standing outside the door pretended not to eavesdrop and asked.

"Nonsense, everyone contributes one pound, and I will contribute two pounds to choose a gift for the section chief. I can't afford to offend this new guy. He has a huge network of connections."

Arthur sighed, he had been having bad luck recently, and bullies were kicked to the ground.

"Here, hang the sign this way."

Annick wore a mask and directed the two elders of Section 9 to put up the house number again. In the past few days, he was busy going to Lord Black Shadow to ask for funds. After some hard work, he approved part of the money. Annick did a rough calculation.

The material cost for renovating the office building was enough, but the labor cost was completely insufficient. Since I was not a philanthropic person who took out a loan to work, I had to do the work myself.

Nolbe complained: "Section Chief, is it necessary to work so hard? The previous ones either just ignored it or applied for funds and everyone shared them."

"It's necessary. The office building is our face when we go to work. You know how to wash your face every morning when you get up. Why don't you know how to create a decent working environment for yourself?"

Annick's rhetoric still worked, and Norbert was deceived into continuing his work.

"What are we doing this afternoon?" Merlin asked.

"Afternoon, everyone wear masks and aprons. We have important work to do."

Annick pointed to the protective equipment he bought and said.

"Cooking? I'm an old man and I don't know how to do this. How can a qualified gentleman cook with his own hands?"

Annick, who often cooks, feels like he's lying on his back, but it doesn't matter, he's not a gentleman either.

"It's not cooking. The paint and plaster I ordered will arrive this afternoon. Let's repaint the peeling paint in the entire office building."

"Ah, please let me go, captain, so I can voluntarily pay workers to do my job instead."

"Me too, I'm okay with hanging signs and repairing tables, chairs and benches. Captain, let me do this with my old bones, so forget it. I know the funds are insufficient, so I voluntarily contribute some."

"Okay, let's divide the cost of hiring workers equally between the three of us. Matthew has been running tasks for us outside these days, so she doesn't have to pay for her share."

Seeing that the two of them had no objection, Annick put away his mask.

The plan worked. Annick actually didn't plan to actually do it himself, but it was painful to pay for it all by himself. Now it would be much better for Dora and the two unlucky guys to share it together.

"Captain, can we rest now?"

"Have a rest. After lunch, you go find some nearby construction teams. I will negotiate prices with them. The negotiation technique is to let them compare prices with each other,"
