"Most of you here have returned to Nolan a month ago, and you must be able to discover the stories that the little girls just told."
He avoided the possible questions of tulip mania, but continued to follow the train of thought. The appearance of the flower girl just now was to make the story more real, and also to make it easier for them to appear later.
"Many people have noticed such things, but you may not care... If you care, you don't need me to say it here. But it makes sense not to care. After all, every year, due to various reasons, some The prices of commodities fluctuate abnormally. For example, I remember that last summer, Nolan’s rice and noodles had a crazy price increase for a period of time.”
This is the information provided by the original owner's memory. Although he is a prodigal son who roams the streets all day long, he doesn't only throw garbage in other people's yards, he also pays attention to occasional life anecdotes.
"But the price increase of tulips this year is obviously different from previous years. If it will..."
There was another strange noise outside, this time it was still an explosion, and it still came from far away. But this time it was a muffled sound. If the series of sounds just now were sounds from the surface, then this time it was like a steam bomb exploding in a mound of soil.
"what's going on?"
As he thought about it, he continued his speech. In order to prove that "the madness of tulip prices this summer is an abnormal phenomenon", he then cited a lot of evidence, and almost covered the blackboard behind him with canvas.
Finally, the core of this speech is stated:
"So, the skyrocketing price of tulips is the result of human manipulation. Combined with the current situation of people's excessive pursuit of tulips that I have listed, it can basically be equated to the fact that the price of tulips has surpassed its own value and has become a An investment object with appreciation performance has become a symbol without an underlying object. This is the result of human manipulation, so the people behind it, or what people want to do, must not simply want to make tulips and tulip bulbs Appreciation. As for the purpose...sorry."
He glanced at the lady's pocket watch on the table:
"Fifteen minutes intermission. And... City Hall is now accessible, but no one can leave."
"Viscount, why is that?"
Someone in the audience shouted that this was also arranged by Jenkins to prevent the servants around Queen Isabella from speaking first.
"I think smart people probably already understand what I want to say. Therefore, in order to prevent my speech from directly impacting the local tulip market, no one is allowed to leave the city hall before the speech is over.
On this point, I have obtained the consent of the mayor, Mr. Sachs Ruto, who mobilized the police outside the city hall. "
Mr. Mayor is one of the supporters Jenkins has won. The reason is simple, not because he hates the Queen, nor because he is a loyal follower of Middleton, nor because Jenkins promised any benefits. It's just because, Jenkins is from Nolan.
"That's a little too disrespectful."
Behind the queen, the Duke of Rochester, sitting in the second row, said.
"It doesn't matter."
Queen Isabella looked at Jenkins and shook her head slightly:
"I think Jenkins must have his reasons. Just as he exposed the Fabry scam, bought time to freeze funds in bank accounts, and saved people who were unfortunate enough not to cheat, he can save some people this time."
"Since you say so, I guess I have no problem."
Salhi II also said, and then the young king of Cheslan, Brill Arecio, also agreed, so that no one else would object.
In fact, the original plan was to let the people behind Salhi II play black faces and debate with Jenkins the significance of blocking the city hall, so that Jenkins could logically use "reasons" to explain the reasons for not letting people go out. Finally, Thrall Hee II announced that he supported Jenkins because he was persuaded.
He didn't expect Queen Isabella to agree directly. You know, letting the police surround the city hall is a very obvious signal in itself. As long as she hears the recent rumors, it is impossible not to think of something.
"Does she have any other cards? Impossible, neither Jessica nor the church has found any results in the investigation, and the team sent by the church to 'protect' her also guarantees that she will never be associated with any illegal organization again. Get in touch... Is it because you trust my character and think that I can't force her to abdicate in this way? No, it won't be that simple."
Thinking suspiciously, Jenkins grabbed his cat, temporarily left the podium, and came into the corridor through the side door.
"Jessica has just been called away by Queen Isabella's men, who found her."
As soon as he came out, he met Britney who came around from the main entrance.
"It's okay, I'm afraid I'm just asking about the situation, not wanting to 'imprison' her again."
"how do you know?"
Britney asked.
"Even if it's really 'imprisonment', and I don't let her help me at the last moment, I have other methods, so don't worry about this. What about Hathaway?"
"In the bathroom."
Britney gestured towards the corner of the corridor, which was the direction of the bathroom.
"And... the presentation was very good, really, really good."
She said, wrapping her arms around Jenkins on tiptoe and giving him a pretty good kiss:
"I knew that the man I chose must be different."
After bidding farewell to Britney, he immediately saw Captain Bincy. His team would usually be stationed at the church. Today, he appeared here to protect Bishop Parode who was out.
"There are some problems in the south of the city."
The captain said straight to the point.
"What about the mechanization of the corpse?"
Jenkins stood by the window and looked out. The fog was thick outside, which was quite abnormal. At least at the beginning of the speech, there was only a thin mist in the air**.
"Yes, the cultists hid a large number of corpses in advance in the slums in the south of the city. After the mechanization curse of the corpses broke out, they quickly formed a terrifying army. The corpses should have been transported from other places and deliberately avoided us. Investigate."
"The woven mechanized corpse is hard to deal with?"
"The main reason is that it is in a densely populated area, and some of the corpses have the extraordinary ability to manipulate metal machinery. But you don't need to worry, just feel free to give a speech here, and other people will take care of these things."
Jenkins nodded, watched Captain Bincy go to Bishop Parode, hesitated for a moment, did not return directly to the podium, but mingled with the crowd returning from the bathroom through the main entrance, and sat beside Queen Isabella.
That was originally the position of the old Duke, Duke of Madeleine. The Duke is too old to sit for a long time, and now he is strolling in the corridor accompanied by his servants.
