Chapter 326 What is the situation now
In fact, under normal circumstances, all top nobles are not necessarily required to give Max this face, but when the talks enter the stage of reaching a consensus, the other nobles present will You may feel that such behavior is detrimental to the face of the aristocratic class in Nanwei City, mainly in terms of etiquette.
This can be simply understood as a collective consciousness in an unconventional sense, or more completely, it should be called a collective interest consciousness.
Because in general, when the vast majority of the interests of the Nanwei noble circle and the county councilors have been tied together, any behavior among the nobles that may destroy this "friendship" will be punished members’ hostility.
Especially when the person being hated is a family like the York family that is not strong enough to crush everyone.
...
Even the Sherman family was not so arrogant as to dare to miss such an occasion. Even so, Ms. Castor still sent a representative to participate.
So the York family's behavior of disappearing without any response is very inconsistent with etiquette, especially for nobles who have received traditional higher education.
This not only damages the relationship between Nanwei’s aristocratic circle and the future county chief, but also lowers the worth of the entire class to some extent.
You must know that the nobility's emphasis on etiquette is almost stubborn. In the battlefield filled with nobles' children in the previous era, even if the muzzles of both sides were almost at each other's throats, both sides would not open fire before firing. They still had to give each other gentlemanly courtesy first, and even before the honor guard in charge of the battlefield BGM arrived, the two sides just stood there and stared at each other.
When it comes to etiquette, the aristocracy has figured it out over the course of hundreds of years, but it has also made itself stupid.
After the development of navigation technology and the establishment of a naval force, the empire's army initially suffered a lot of losses when facing those notorious and unscrupulous pirates.
…
In short, the absence of the York family made the reception somewhat awkward.
So, soon someone at the reception volunteered to resolve the embarrassment.
"Mr. Congressman, I believe Mr. York must have encountered some unavoidable emergency. Why don't I send someone to his manor to inquire?"
"It is absolutely necessary. Maybe Old York is here. The car overturned in a ravine and is waiting for us to fish it out.”
The chatting atmosphere at the cocktail party was pretty good because the first half of the “ticket selling” agenda went smoothly.
"That's good work." Max didn't care about the absence of a certain noble. In fact, he didn't expect that he could win all the parliamentary votes from the nobles in Nanwei City, even if he Today, they promised a price that would satisfy the other party, and they were happy enough to get along with each other. However, if their competitors offer more generous terms one day in the future, most of these guys will not hesitate to forget what they said today. If you pass, it is normal to switch to others.
……
Then, there was the next scene.
When the retinue sent out by the nobles pushed open the unlocked door of the York family manor, the hellish scene they saw made them incontinent on the spot.
What a tragedy...
The water in the pond in the small garden center opposite the gate of the manor has turned dark brown, even worse than the water in the section of the canal close to the industrial area It was even filthier, and the stench emitted was like some kind of compression device that was crazily accumulating in everyone's stomach, and it felt like it wouldn't stop until all the contents in everyone's stomach were emptied.
In such a large manor, both masters and servants, and even the guard dog, are all soaking in the pool.
Countless flies and mosquitoes gathered over the pond, and the buzzing sound of their flapping wings enveloped the entire front yard of the manor.
The corpses soaked in the pool water were already rotten and smelly, and their swollen abdominal cavities floated on the water, feeling like they might explode at any time.
This is the reason why members of the York family were absent from the reception.
…
Maybe this is retribution. It was obviously announced late last night that all the hunter organizations had been wiped out, but the next day it was discovered that the entire York family manor had been wiped out.
......
However, unlike what happened last night, this news did not spread immediately, but was blocked immediately.
Obviously, if the destruction of the York family is published in the newspapers, then yesterday's drama will be in vain, Nanwei City will return to the atmosphere of panic, and the people will even think that Johnson County Councilor is a Lying liar.
So this difficult-to-handle shit basin was handed over to the local law enforcement team.
The situation is exactly the same as what Old Xion said. The subsequent finishing work and miscellaneous matters have to be borne by the law enforcement team. The group of people sent by the county are purely uncles.
……
Not long after.
Law Enforcement Headquarters Conference Room.
Even a successful person like Max is a little impatient.
He pressed his hands on the conference table and asked the senior executives in front of him:
"Didn't it mean that the assassins had no way to attack after the patrols and guards were strengthened in the city? Gentlemen, what is the situation now?! County Council Charlie ·Congressman York has called me more than ten times. How should I relay this matter to him?”
The next scene around the conference table is very interesting:
The court representative turned to look at the Army Lieutenant Colonel, who looked at the Procuratorate, and the Procuratorate naturally turned to look at the three local law enforcement inspectors sitting opposite him.
Compared to the anxious county councilman Max, other members of the inspection team behaved much calmer.
Compared with the bad atmosphere of the entire inspection team, the senior officials of the local law enforcement system in Nanwei City seemed more calm.
Because it’s a noble who died this time, everyone understands.
"Ahem..." Nero coughed twice and answered the Max County Councilor's question:
"Mr. Congressman, we have indeed sent additional patrols in the city as you asked. Manpower, but the nobles’ manor is outside the city.”
There is no need to add anything more.
Nero pushed back the shit basin thrown into his hand with a light word.
…
The atmosphere in the conference room suddenly became very strange.
Let’s just say that it wouldn’t be a big deal if the York family just died in the manor, but the person who discovered this incident was a retinue of other nobles, which means that the nobles now know He was involved in the destruction of York's family.
What does this mean? It means that if Max cannot appease these life-saving nobles, his campaign will become even more difficult.
In the original plan, he only needed to have the local law enforcement forces in Nanwei City carry out patrols and security tasks in strict accordance with the regulations, and it was enough to ensure that the hunter organization would not be given any chance to take action before the election date. After the election, they would be able to cause trouble as they liked. It doesn't matter anymore.
But it’s better now, it’s not the common people who die but the nobles.
The difficulty of handling the incident suddenly increased several levels.
