Black Iron’s Glory

Chapter 130—The Fall of Albert

"Hey, Claude, go home again?"

Running on both sides of the day, the police battalion soldiers at the southwest corner of the town are now familiar with Claude. Of course, this is also the reason why Claude will be a man. In the morning, he patrolled the forest farm and found that he was caught in a trapped frozen rabbit pheasant. He took one or two soldiers thrown at these battalion camps. Although the soldiers in the battalion battalion are in military control in the town, the food is also very good, but they are still very welcome.

Say hello is a lieutenant named Abraham, who is responsible for the order of this block in the southwest of the town. Early in the morning, when he saw Claude driving down the mountain road in the forest, he waved and said hello and signaled Crowrod to him.

"Less, good morning." Claude drove in the carriage, stopped the car next to him, and pulled off the scarf on his face: "Today is the last day, tomorrow is the New Year, how are you still so busy? What is this doing?"

Lieutenant Abraham shrugged his shoulders with helplessness: "There is no way, the order issued above, the more we are nearing the New Year, the more we must be vigilant, guarding against the pirates, coming to the White Deer Town during the New Year, so we have to The street in the town set up barricades and blocking walls. But you see, there is no way to dig this cold, we have to sweep the snow first, and then use the torch to warm the wood before we can dig. Today we may not be able to finish. This task is over."

After taking a cup of steaming black tea handed over by Abraham, Crowd said with a smile: "Let's say, I know that you have called me nothing good. If there is anything I can help you, though, you can Help me, I will try my best."

Abraham Lieutenant said a thumbs up: "Are you not a forest farm supervisor? I want to ask if there are any felled timber in the forest farm. If there is, I would like to ask you to borrow it and use the timber to build the fence and the barrier. We are digging too much dirt..."

Claude shook his head unfortunately: "If you ask about it, you know that the Normanley Forest Farm has not cut down trees for nearly two decades, nor has it produced wood. Although there are still a few old woods, the number can be far. It is far from enough to build walls and barricades. Without the permission of the Baroness, we are not good at cutting down trees. I am too busy to help."

"Oh, it seems that we can't escape the life of digging the ground." Abraham Lieutenant was also very disappointed: "We originally wanted to cut down the woods next to the town, but the town office did not allow it, saying that it was the property of the town office." , felling can, but get the money to buy wood. We don't have the budget to buy wood. Originally, the layout of the defense facilities on the side of the Chinese New Year has already caused the soldiers to complain. If we still have to pay for these materials, it would be too Excessive..."

Crowder looked at the four or five soldiers surrounded by the shovel. They were using the shovel to dig up the mud that had been warmed by the fire, then put them in a linen bag, and then piled them into barricades and half with these burlap sacks filled with dirt. The fence of people is high. But so far, there are only a dozen sacks filled with dirt. It is no wonder that Abraham is less frowning and wants to borrow wood from the forest farm.

“Is it a permanent way to build anti-spare barriers and walls?” Crowder asked.

Abraham shook his head. "How could it be that the **** and idiots couldn't make such an order? The practice of preparing permanent installations requires engineering and procurement budgets, and a professional construction team is needed to build. It's not us. It is enough to pile up dozens of sacks of soil. Anyway, after the formation of the Bailu Town garrison, our battalion will be evacuated. These defense facilities will be handed over to the garrison team. It is good or bad that it is not what we are. ”

Claude thought about wanting to say to Abraham Lieutenant: "In this case, you don't have to let your brethren go to the dirt. It's winter, and there will be heavy snow from time to time. You can actually use these snow to come. Set up barricades and walls, press these snow into cubes, pour water, and freeze it harder than iron. Such barricades and walls are not only fast, but also have better defense performance. If you really fight, the guns will not hit. Wear these frozen blocks."

In one breath, he sipped the black tea in the cup and returned the empty cup to the Abraham Lieutenant. Crowd said with a smile: "As for the durability of these snow-covered street blocks and walls, I believe that at least until the end of February. It will be frozen. By then, the garrison battalion in Bailu Town should be completed, and your battalion battalion has been withdrawn to the county town. Whether these defense facilities are present and intact is not your business..."

Abraham's face looked like a surprise, he clung to Claude: "Thank you so much, Claude, you are my good brother, your mind is too smart, I really don't know. How did you think of such a good idea, I immediately told the soldiers not to dig the ground, do what you say!"

Claude continued to drive home in a carriage, and Abraham's praise and compliment made him happy. However, he also spoke in the heart of the kingdom officer's quality is too low, such a simple way can not think of it. It is clearly a modern army with a musket, but it has been trained to be a wooden mind bag. It only knows to obey orders, but does not know how to change it...

Just seeing the scene after returning home made Claude's good mood disappear, and sister Angelina cried and told Claude. Early this morning, Albert’s goods broke into the house, and he took a wooden stick and squatted the little snow dog. He knocked the little snow dog to the ground. Then he rushed to the third floor, rummaging through the parents' bedroom and robbing the mother's jewelry.

The mother went to stop him from being pushed away by him, and fell to the ground and couldn’t climb, and then Albert’s goods ran with the jewels without a trace...

Claude was so angry that he wanted to turn to the town to find the whereabouts of Albert, but there was no way he had to settle down. The hind legs of the snow dog were discounted by a stick, and the younger brother was holding the little snow dog and crying out of breath. The mother fell to the bed and said that she had a backache and could not climb. Although her sister Anna was fine, she did not know what to do. Fortunately, Claude is back, she has finally relied on it, and she is no longer frightened.

When I arranged for my sister to do some breakfast for everyone, Claude drove the carriage to the pharmacy and invited the wretched pharmacist to the house.

The Snow Dog is fine, and on the splint Claude is ready to give it a perfect quality of the primary treatment agent to swallow and smear, after a couple of days, can be alive and kicking. The difficulty is the mother, the pharmacist and the old man said that the mother's trauma is nothing, that is, the waist twisted, and it would be good to get a few plasters for two days. Mainly heart disease and worry are too heavy, have been thinking, the body is extremely weak, it takes a period of rest to restore, usually eat more good things to supplement the body or something.

After sending away the pharmacist's old man, Claude went to the kitchen and steamed three eggs, one mother, one sister and one younger brother. Then he gave the little snow dog a potion and threw him a cow bone to make it more. Point calcium, save it will not be so easy to be a stick to the back leg, especially Albert, this dry goods, said to go out feels shame.

Excuses to go out and buy something, Claude drove the carriage around the town to find the whereabouts of Albert. After asking the soldiers who were on duty at the town street, they confirmed that the goods were not out of town. So Claude went to the jewelry store and the grocery store to ask them if Albert had taken jewelry to their store in the morning.

There are only three jewellery stores in Bailu Town, but there are dozens of grocery stores. It took more than two hours in the afternoon that Claude ran all over again, but the news was that Albert had not gone to these stores to **** the jewels he had taken from his mother.

Where did the goods go? Claude thought, Albert actually dared to break into the house early in the morning to **** the mother's jewelry, making it clear that he is very short of money, otherwise he will not take such fierce means. Eat and drink as long as you stay with Sir Fox. As a secretary of Sir Fox, there is nothing wrong with mixing.

By the way, after the father was arrested, Albert did not say his own situation, nor did he know that he was still not working for Sir Fox. Claude drove to the manor of Sir Fox in the southeast of the town. When asked, an old housekeeper said that Albert had taken a long vacation and said that he was going to rush for his father to be caught. Now that the Field family is his master, Sir Fox promised to ask for his leave request.

Pooh! After Crowd returned to the carriage, he spit on the ground and spit. The goods are still very serious outside, and the excuses for taking leave are so grand and grand, can you be the master of the house to do this? Going to work for the father’s arrest, where did the man go?

Maybe you can use empathy to imagine, where will the money go? In Crow's mind, what he saw on the old street that night, Albert was beating the street and the woman who was bargaining for the street was degraded.

Well, it is possible that this product has been fooled around in the old street after having the money. However, for the first time, Albert’s goods were defrauded from the mother, and about fifteen or six silver taels were taken. Together, there were three more gold francs. This money is enough for him to fool around for a month or two in the old street. Every day, four or five times a day is enough for him to play for half a month. After all, the price is very low, and the most beautiful and expensive street girl is also But it is a Riazor once...

It turned out that it was only three or four days, Albert had no money for this goods, so he ran home to lie to his mother's jewellery. After he was dismantled and taught him to drive him out of the house, he dared to dare. Early in the day, he was not at home with a wooden stick and broke into the house to grab the mother's jewelry. What gave this so much courage to the goods, forcing him to do so?

Eating, drinking, gambling, and Claude can think of nothing but the five poisons of life. However, with his knowledge of Albert's goods, this product is not very particular about eating and drinking. He even wants to save money and eat foods that taste bad enough to fill the stomach. Drinking is also cheap. Inferior wine, the cost of eating and drinking can be said to be relatively stingy.

The rest is gambling gambling, this product is not sham, but fifteen or six silver talle is enough for him to live in the old street for a while, it is impossible to spend all three or four days. When I was teaching him last night, I didn't feel that his body was very empty. So much money should not be the reason for this.

As for the poison, it is even more impossible. The world has not yet developed into the social stage in which the material civilization of the previous life was extremely rich. There is nothing like the hallucinogen ecstasy, and it is impossible to buy it, so this aspect can be ruled out. .

The rest is gambling, and only gambling has the greatest possibility that Albert will lose all his money in three or four days, and he has to go home and find a way to deceive his mother. It’s just that Claude doesn’t know where Albert’s goods are gambling, whether he’s gambling in an underground casino or gambling with a few friends. If it is the latter, then Claude could not find the goods of Albert, who knows which corner they will hide in the evening...

But after careful consideration, Claude felt that it was the most likely underground casino, because Albert had snatched the past jewellery from his mother and did not get the town's jewelry store and grocery store to pawn. If their friends gamble, it is impossible to use these jewellery to fill the number. Instead, the underground casino has the business of handling **** items on the spot. It is very likely that Albert will take the mother's jewelry to the underground casino to realize it.

Perhaps this goods still owe the loan sharks of the casino, so that they have the courage to break into the house to **** the mother's jewelry... Claude analyzed the possibility coldly.

But the problem now is that Claude doesn't know if there is an underground casino in Bailu Town, and he has never heard of it. In the kingdom of Ovilas, the private underground casino is a big crime, and it is caught in the end of the gallows. Therefore, I don’t know where the underground casino in Bailu Town is normal for Crowder. He has to find an insider to inquire about it...
