Cosma Empire

During dinner, Mrs. Vivienne stretched her neck to protect her belly and took a bite of the whole-wheat bread dipped in thick soup. Her appetite has been a little light lately. The first-time pregnant Mrs. Vivienne even found two from the slums. A woman of the same age who seems a little more comfortable will take care of her daily life. Compared with those guart women who have three or five or more children in their lifetime, she doesn't know how to be a mother-to-be.

Changing eating habits is one of them. The children of the Guart people rarely die in the first few years after birth. On the contrary, the rich and powerful often hear about children dying. The child, Mrs. Vivienne, decided to modify and improve everything according to the eating habits of the Guart people, avoiding those foods that are too delicate and refined as much as possible.

I have to say that the whole wheat bread is not very delicious even if it is dipped in a thick soup. She only ate a small piece and felt no desire to eat a second piece. She glanced at the vegetable salad in the bowl and suddenly felt A cocooned feeling. She had never had such bad food, and the salads had been made with a variety of delicate fruits, and the bowl had never been so full of green leaves and almost invisible sweet dressing.

"Are you having a conflict with your little lover?" Mrs. Vivienne touched her lips with a napkin, and looked at Peter who was sitting opposite her, "Or did you find another little girl? Sometimes I think You are my father's child, because your hobbies are similar!" She meant that two men both like younger girls, of course she can understand this feeling, after all, she did the same thing before .

Peter put down the tea, licked the gravy splashed on the corner of his mouth, swallowed the food in his mouth and cut it, took a sip of red wine and said: "Ernst is too deep, he not only smuggled wine, but also smuggled ghost faces Mushrooms and narcotics. Do you know why the hospitals in our city are always short of narcotics? He has all the quotas that disappeared!" Peter picked up the napkin and wiped his mouth, then threw it aside, "The state The notice has come down, and the branch of the Contraband Investigation Bureau in Tenell City must be established in a week at the latest. The main staff are all from other places. Dirty stuff for them to see."

The topic about Ernst ends here. The mayor and Vivian are very clear that without the blessing of the mayor, the first person who wants to get rid of Ernst is Karur. Dulin's farm and trading company were all destroyed, and there will soon be people from the Contraband Investigation Bureau stationed at the station. Even if he comes out, he can no longer smuggle alcohol through steam locomotives as before. His business It's over!

If Dooling is removed, and Ernst is removed, the entire smuggled liquor market in Tener City will be controlled by Karur alone. More profits are enough to drive this old guy crazy. He doesn't have as much involvement with the mayor as Ernst did. When necessary, he can become a bargaining chip between the inherent old forces and the Bureau of Contraband Investigation. Of course, before he had to do so, the mayor would still escort Karur a little bit. Part of the huge profits he earned belonged to the old party.

"I hear you've been around behind Queen Street a lot lately? Is there anything fun there?"

Mrs. Vivienne became a little interested,

Peter is very good at finding topics. Recently, Mrs. Vivienne has been active near the slums. She donated clothes and food to the poor to call on more women to be self-reliant and independent. In the process of becoming a feminist fighter during this period, Mrs. Vivienne keenly discovered that women who are really willing to join the feminist movement either have nothing or have a high status.

The former is fighting for their own interests, for the interests of the future, while the latter is full of food and has nothing interesting to do, just looking for something to do. So she put the main scope of development in the slums, and I have to say that her senses are very keen and brilliant. The feminist movement has only been developed for more than 30 days today, and has developed more than 50 feminist activists.

Some of them are Ogdin people, a small number of provincial Ya people and a very small number of Guart people. Guart women only account for 3% of the total number. But even though there were not many people, Mrs. Vivienne was still very happy, which meant that the women in Tenell City were finally unwilling to be manipulated by the men and stood up bravely. For this reason, the initiators of the women's rights movement in the capital and the General Assembly also sent congratulatory letters, and stated that Mrs. Vivienne was unanimously approved at the General Assembly's general meeting to become the branch president of the Tenell City Women's Rights Games.

For the first time, Mrs. Vivienne has been recognized by more people with her own efforts, and she has also taken the first step in pursuing her ideals. She has never been so full of fighting spirit and emotions as she is now. Every night before going to bed, I have to read the letter from the General Assembly several times to be able to sleep peacefully.

The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, she nodded and stood up, and said with a smile when she turned around, "I think what the priest said is right, only selfless dedication can make people feel happy and cleanse the dirt in their souls!"

The mayor froze for a moment, then laughed out loud, "This is the funniest joke I've heard this year."

The aristocrats understand the church just like the church understands the aristocrats. There is almost nothing to hide or hide from each other. The two sides have been fighting for hundreds of years and have already seen through their opponents. If ordinary people say this, the mayor absolutely believes it, but Mrs. Vivienne, a descendant of nobles, also says the same, he will find it funny.

The mayor laughed heartily, and he let out a sigh of relief as he smiled, the sense of relief from all the previous actions poured into his body. After more than a month of busy work, the damn tax investigator finally left Tenel with a dark face, and some restless forces in the city were also wiped out. Although he will have to fight the newly established Contraband Investigation Bureau in the future, he is not depressed or discouraged. Instead, he is full of fighting spirit like Mrs. Vivienne.

He doesn't know what it means to have endless fun fighting with others, but he knows an old proverb in the empire - the apples looted from the enemy are always tastier than the ones grown by oneself!

Ernst disappeared overnight. Flame Skull began to expand outward for the first time in recent years. The newly established Contraband Investigation Bureau was also unveiled on such a day. These things didn't seem to have much to do with Du Lin. He was chatting with Xiu En.

Xiu En changed his previous sloppy image and became extra energetic. He was wearing a neat suit, and the pomade on his hair made his hair look like a wig. He sat on the other side of the table, put his hands on the table, pursed his lips but couldn't stop the smile on his face.

"If you are here to laugh at me, then you can laugh as much as you want." Du Lin lit a cigarette, which came from Xiu En.

Xiu En waved his hand, "I didn't come to laugh at you, I just hope to get your blessing and congratulations. Do you know? I am now the first director of the Contraband Investigation Bureau in the Tenel area!", he grinned He couldn't close his mouth anymore, he never thought that such a job would fall on him, until he sank his face in the basin filled with cold water, and realized that all of this was so serious. it is true.

His old boss sent him a letter, saying that he was recommended to him as the first director of the Contraband Investigation Bureau in the Tenell area. After receiving the approval, the governor immediately issued an appointment notice to Xiu En. Shu, he is now the chief of the bureau, holding great power in his hands.

Du Lin froze for a moment, then nodded and said, "Congratulations, I also found out that you didn't come to laugh at me, you came to hurt me. Don't you know what I do?"

Xiu En said with a smile: "Of course I know, and that's why I came to see you."

Xiu En has a plan, all the previous plans have been scrapped, and now he has a brand new plan with a high success rate. He hoped that Du Lin could continue to smuggle alcohol. He would give Du Lin the green light, and at the same time suppress Karur as much as possible, completely erasing him from the Tenel area, making Du Lin the only bootlegger here. He did this not because he was depraved, nor because he and Doolin were friends, his real purpose was to make huge profits from smuggling wine by Doolin.

To put it bluntly, it is money.

The money is not from him, but from the old parties. Once Tenel's rampant smuggling industry is reshuffled, the old parties who want to continue to suck blood from the underground world to the center of the empire will have to change their partners. As long as they cooperate with Du Lin, certain evidence and loopholes will definitely be left. At that time, Du Lin only needs to produce relevant evidence, and Xiu En will be confident enough to completely clean the officialdom in Tener City.

With such feats, it is no longer difficult to return to the previous position.

As for how Du Lin will deal with it in the end, Xiu En also has a comprehensive consideration. He will send his plan to the governor. In the future, if the plan is successful, Du Lin will not have any losses. Do it again. But by that time, he had already saved a large sum of money, enough for him to squander most of his life, even if he didn't work, he could spend his life comfortably.

This can be regarded as his last gift to his only "friend" who has a close heart in Tenel City!

Well, that's Xiu En's plan.

"You can think about it, it won't be too late to answer me when you come out!", Xiu En was about to stand up as he said, he had already completed all the goals for today. It doesn't matter even if Du Lin disagrees, with his current status, there will be many people vying to agree.

The moment he stood up, Du Lin nodded, "I agree!"
