Chapter 289 (1/2)

Ancient wood surrounds the mottled building.

The decoration in the small building is very classical and traditional, and inherits the simple and conservative aesthetic style of the Delun empire.

This is a private membership restaurant, not far from the whispering Forest Club. At noon, the whole building was packed down, only the largest suite on the top floor entertained guests.

Taking a dose of secret medicine, the internal injury caused by continuous hematemesis was forced down.

Justice willon, whose face had recovered a little, changed his suit. He sat down at one end of the long table with a knife and fork in his hand. He was absorbed in dealing with a greasy fried pig hand on a large porcelain plate in front of him.

He was invited to lunch.

The lunch prepared by the host is a standard Delun style food, and the Delun Empire food, in fact, has nothing to evaluate - nothing more than sausages, pork feet, pickles, potatoes.

The host of the luncheon with justice willon, bell Jung Bergman of Ruhr, sat at the other end of a long table, sipping wine quietly, indifferent to the food in front of him.

After a long time, justice willon killed his lunch, wiped the corners of his mouth with a snow-white napkin, picked up a glass of old wine, and raised his glass to bell.

”Thank you for your invitation Do you have a bad appetite Justice willon's eyes twinkled, carefully observing Bell's expression.

With red hair and blue eyes and a little dark complexion, the burly bell also raised his glass: ”Oh, yes, my appetite has been terrible recently Recently, I spend most of my time every day It's the only way to fall asleep. ”

Bell emptied the glass, then grabbed the bottle in front of him, and filled himself with another.

In the suite, there were only bell and willon, a waiter and a maid If they want to talk next, they can't let people know, and everything can only be done by themselves.

Justice willon took a sip of the brick red wine, put down the glass, clubbed his elbows on the dining table, held his chin in his palm, and looked at Bell: ”I can't imagine what makes you fall into such anxiety In your capacity, you should be carefree and everything is going well. ”

”You should know why I became so.” Bell gulped out a glass full of spirits, and then poured himself another: ”with your power and your connections, you should know why I became this way.”

Justice willon grinned, his eyelids drooped and he did not speak.

Ruhr city is only half a day's journey by train. The communication between the two places is very convenient, and the speed of message transmission is also very fast.

Although the Imperial Army blockaded Ruhr and exercised military control over the whole Ruhr City area, the identity of Lord willon is here. He has enough channels to probe into what happened in Ruhr.

For example, the former chairman of the Ruhr City Council, bell Jung Bergman, is now a civilian, and all his official posts have been cut off. Not only that, he also faces more than 30 civil prosecutions, as well as two or three very serious criminal prosecutions.

Those civil lawsuits, however, are nothing more than bullying men and women. With the power and financial resources of the Bergman family, they are nothing more than losing some money. Things can be easily settled down.

And those criminal lawsuits

According to the information that justice willon got, he didn't think bell would get away with it.

Unless a scapegoat can be found, and an expert can control the process of handling a case and transfer the chain of evidence to the scapegoat perfectly, bell will go to prison for more than ten years.

Bell took another gulp of wine, then he gently put down his glass and began to murmur to himself.

I've been in trouble recently Not only myself, but the whole Bergman family, are facing great threat and getting into great trouble

”The loss of money is a small matter The gunpowder warehouse of the Bergman family was destroyed. The factory, stock and raw materials lost a lot, but it was nothing A few big orders can't be exchanged, and we face huge compensation, which is also nothing

”For the Bergman family, the loss of money is not a loss.”

”But the big orders that we failed to exchange have greatly damaged the family's reputation in the circle We've lost faith and we want to rebuild our credibility, which is going to be an extremely long and arduous task. ”

Bell sighed.

”What's more, there are traitors in the family, and some things are under control The Bergman family had to accept some conditions, some of which were heartbreaking, like cutting flesh. ”

”The family, power in Ruhr has been cut by half. Influence, the influence of the family in Ruhr has been reduced. ”

”The guard of the family has been reduced by 70%, the private troops have been directly cancelled, and the militia forces of the family factory have also been ordered to disband Even in the future, the production of family factories must be carried out under the supervision of a special supervisory committee of the imperial army. ””The source of every pound of raw materials we buy, every manufacturing process we make, and the whereabouts of every pound of finished products we make are strictly monitored by the military.”

”What's more, all family accounts are subject to inspection by the imperial tax authorities every year. In addition, every expenditure of more than 100000 gold marks in the family account must be filed with the Ministry of supervision in advance, providing instructions for the use of the funds. ”
