"Guess!" In response to Leo's question, Baron Mopoisan looked at Leo with an amused expression on his face that hadn't subsided, and seemed to enjoy this kind of fun.
It's a pity that Leo was not interested in playing this guess-guess game with her or him. After giving her a cold look, she no longer ignored each other and put her eyes back on the newspaper in her hand.
However, Baron Maupassant didn’t intend to let go of someone as interesting as Leo. She leaned forward, using the pair of full squeezed Leo’s arms, deliberately opened her shirt, and said to Leo: "Will you reach out Touch it, so you know the truth!"
Originally, Baron Moposan just wanted to tease Leo to see if he could make him embarrassed. But she never imagined that Leo was a man who did not follow the rules. After her words fell, she reached in without hesitation, then grabbed it, pulled it out, and said blankly. : "Feel good, thanks!"
This time it was Baron Mopossant's turn that froze, staring blankly at Leo. The whole person seemed to be frozen.
At this time, a staff member of the building hurriedly looked for something in the lobby outside the reception hall. When he saw Baron Moposang, a smile appeared on his face, and he quickly walked over to salute Baron Moposan and said, "Sylvie Miss Ya, Mr. Speaker now has time to meet you."
Baron Moposan also returned to normal at this time, the expression on his face became very cold, and the ruddy cheeks did not know whether it was caused by shame or anger. He gestured to the staff to lead the way, and then stood up and raised his head, like An arrogant peacock stepped out of the reception room and ignored Leo during the whole process.
"It's a terrible offense this time." Leo didn't look up. He looked at the newspaper and smiled to himself with a wry smile. Then there was a trace of doubt on his face. He murmured: "Is she really a woman?" "
This episode did not have any impact on Leo. He did not take this matter into his heart. He continued to look at the newspaper in his hand. Soon, Jason returned from the exhibition hall and sat next to Leo. Bored daze.
After about half an hour, Anne led Nelson and Catherine downstairs, called Leo and Jason, left the association building, got on the carriage, and ordered to go to the embassy of the Kingdom of England in Milia.
"How is it going?" Jason couldn't help asking in the car.
"Very smooth!" Catherine said with a smile: "Nielsen's article has been reviewed and will be published in the next issue of the medical association's internal journal. After seeing the specific results, it will be promoted to medical associations around the world."
Nielsen was not happy because of this matter, but instead felt a little ashamed, and his expression looked a bit frustrated.
"Since it's already started, it's going to continue. Leo didn't say anything. Why do you feel guilty?" Anne looked at Nielsen and warned seriously, "You must know that this matter is not yours now. I have recommended you, and Catherine's support. Once you are exposed, Catherine and I will be implicated by you, or play well as your first aid in battlefield, don't make any mistakes!"
"I know." Hearing Catherine would also be affected, Nelson's expression immediately became serious and nodded.
Jason asked a bit dazedly: "You have said so much, haven't told me how things are going? Just accuse the Duke?"
Anne said indifferently: "The council will convene members to discuss this matter tomorrow, but the problem should not be big, because there are too many internships in the Bretley region, there are more than a hundred, all It is a prospective doctor who will graduate from the college. The college is very angry. Even if it cannot complain in the name of the medical association, it will also submit a complaint to the mainland parliament in the name of the medical school.
Although Anne said it was plain, Leo could hear some small clues, that is, the Weilun Medical Association and the Weilun Medical College seem to have different opinions on the complaint.
However, for Leo, it does not matter whether it is a medical association or a medical school, as long as they submit a complaint, all they have to do is shake the flag and shout, and provide a little ammunition.
After everyone was quiet for a while, Leo suddenly asked Annie: "Ms. Annie, do you know a woman named Sylvia?"
Ann frowned slightly and said, "Sylvia? This name is very common. Many people I know are called this name."
"The Sylvia I am talking about is a very beautiful woman." Leo said the appearance and clothing of Baron Mopossant I just saw.
Listening to Leo's description, Annie's face became more and more gloomy, and finally stared at Leo, saying, "How do you know her?"
"I just sat there, she came up to talk to me." Leo concealed part of the content. He could see that Anne must have known the female Baron Moposan at the moment, and the relationship seemed to be very bad.
Annie cursed fiercely: "That woman only knows that there are flowers and grass everywhere," followed You to warn Leo: "You better be careful, she is a black widow, when you eat you, you all do not know."
Maybe she felt that she was a little sick, and instead of speaking, Annie turned to look out of the window, making her look invisible.
There was a lot of resentment from Annie, not to mention Leo, even the dull Jason felt it, no one spoke again, and sat quietly until the carriage stopped at the embassy of the Kingdom of England outer.
Annie led the four people into the embassy. As a director of the medical association, she asked the receptionist to see the ambassador, but did not tell the staff the identity of Leo and others.
It didn't take long for the ambassador to accept the interview. Anne only took Nielsen, who had a knighthood and a certain identity background, to the ambassador's office. The others stayed in the reception room.
About ten minutes later, several embassy military attachés came to stay Leo and Jason in a house, asked their identities and troop numbers, and then let them tell What happened on the battlefield that day was recorded in detail, and the two signed their lives and brought them back to the reception room.
By this time, Anne and Nielsen had returned to the reception room, except that at the moment outside the reception room, six armed soldiers of the embassy had been guarded.
"The next thing should not have much to do with the two of you. Your identity is too low in the eyes of those big men. The amount of speech is not enough. It is impossible to cause any effect. You can only do Nelson's matching." Anne Straightforwardly speaking, without leaving any face to Leo and Jason, he told Leo in detail the current situation, "Next Nielsen will become the leader of the entire complaint, also because of his importance The Ambassador of the Kingdom of England needs to protect him specifically, and Catherine will stay with him to continue writing the next paper."
"Then it's nothing for us, right?" Jason shrugged and smiled.
"You want to be beautiful." Annie glared at Jason and said, "Nielsen will definitely be well protected. It is impossible to give the Duke of Derwin the opportunity to start, so you two will definitely become Duke of Derwin. Goal. Although the status of the two of you is unlikely to play a large role in the complaint, the Duke of Derwin will use your death to warn some others, so you will be more dangerous than Nelson. "
"Haha! Just let them come, and my baby can come in handy." Jason said with a big grin without taking the so-called danger into mind.
"Can I keep Jason and Nelson together?" Leo thought for a moment, then asked Annie, and raised her hand to signal Jason not to speak, and then explained: "Jason's weapon is too heavy, suitable for use. Coming to the position to defend, he and Nielsen together can also play a role in protecting Nielsen. After all, the protection of other people, I am not very assured."
"This should be no problem." Anne thought about it, nodded and accepted the offer, and then asked Leo: "What about you? Are you staying together?"
"No, I have other things to do." Leo thought of the house mentioned by the old man of the villa. He could just use this time to check and investigate what was wrong.
Anne felt that it was a waste to just let Leo's aimless action, so she thought about it and said: "I will find someone to investigate the Duke of Derwin's control of the power in Milia City these days, and I will take the key Some forces are marked, if you have a way, try to solve them as far as possible, so as not to come out and make trouble."
"It's okay." Leo nodded, and then very seriously ordered some things to Jason and Nelson, most of which were related to the self-protection of the attack, and asked Annie to take the flintlock in the hospital. Before going to give Jason, try to install a force bracket on the handgun to facilitate Jason's use.
After talking about some precautions, Leo did not ask where they would be sent to protect, so he left the embassy directly, and while leaving the embassy, he also found himself being followed.
Through the observation of the spiritual network, Leo quickly recognized that some of them were people of the embassy, while the other groups were obviously some local forces. Although he hasn't got the list of the Duke of Devin controlling power in Miria City from Anne, he has found a target that can be used.
Leo directly boarded the carriage waiting at the gate of the embassy, and ordered the driver to go to the fish city area, just in the car, closed his eyes and kept his mind, and ignored the people who followed behind.
Although Miria City is very prosperous and the people living here are also very rich, it is not without slums. In fact, the slums here are still very large. In terms of area alone, it is definitely the largest urban area in Miria City.
This city is located on the banks of the Walla River in the northwest of the city. The Walla River is one of the main tributaries of the Rhodeland River. The river here is covered with shoals, water grasses and reefs. It is not suitable as a freight channel, but it is very suitable for fish growth, so here Fishing industry is very developed.
When the early Milia City was built, the local fisherman built a small village here to provide fish products to the residents of Milia City.
Later, as Miria City gradually prospered, a large number of people who could not mix in the surrounding towns began to come to Miria City. It is difficult for these people to find a job in Miria City, which is dominated by politics and business, and naturally they cannot live in Miria City, so they have to move to the edge of Miria City. In this way, the small fishing village very close to the city of Milia became their first choice. ,
As Miriam City grows bigger and more prosperous, more and more people come here to look for wealth opportunities. Although from time to time we can hear news that some people are getting ahead for some reason, but more people are still struggling at the bottom. These people gathered around that small fishing village, the living area has expanded a little bit, and it has become a fish over time. Urban area.
There was a councillor in Miria City who thought that the fish city area was not part of Miria City, which would damage the image of Miria City. It was suggested to build a wall along the edge of the city to isolate it from Miria city. But in the end, this proposal could not be solved because of some people's prevention~EbookFREE.me~ The member who made this proposal also lost his position for some reason, broke the property, and eventually went to the fish city.
Because of this parliamentarian as a precedent, even those nobles in Miriam City no matter how they look down on Yucheng District, no one will put forward any proposal against Yucheng District, so as not to catch fire.
Before entering the fish city area, there is no formal area division sign, but the locals have a way to tell 100% whether they are in the fish city area, this is the house and the road.
Most of the houses in Miria City are built with masonry and steel frames as the main material. Even if wood is used as a building material, it is only used as an auxiliary material or decorative material. A house that completely uses wood Very little.
But the fish city is different. Almost all the houses in the fish city are the two-story loft-style wooden houses, and the outside is painted with a layer of stucco as a wall.
The reason why these houses use wood as a building material is mainly because these woods do not cost money. They only need to find some relatives and friends to bring logging tools when building a house, and cut a few trees into the forest outside the city. The wood needed to build the house is gone.
In addition, because the land needed for the construction of these houses does not need to apply to the city government of Miria, these houses are built on land and continue to expand, so that the streets here are not only narrow, but also distorted. It was impossible to let the carriage in.
"Sir, if you go in alone, it is best to come out before dark. The security at night here is not good." After getting off the carriage, the driver kindly reminded Zhao Leiou.
Leo responded with a thank you, walked into the nearest alley, and entered the slums of Yucheng District.
