Mystery: Shadow of Order Chapter 53

West District, No. 9 Hope Street, the Prime Minister's official residence.

Prime Minister Agulhid was still sitting behind the large table, but in front of him was only his elder brother, Duke Negan, who was half-lying and half-sitting on a chair.

The negotiation just now and the indulgence last night made the "Judge" Duke Negan of Sequence 6 feel exhausted, and in front of his younger brother, his actions were inevitably a little gaffe.

"The suggestion made by Earl Hall is very sincere. Even if it is dragged down, it will not make any big changes."

Agulhid is in his fifties this year, tall and thin, with sparse hair and sharp eyes, but he didn't show much of himself in the negotiation just now. Even as prime minister, as leader of the Conservative Party, this is not a negotiation he can intervene in.

In the current Ruen, it is the royal family and the nobles who control the political arena. The accumulation of hundreds of thousands of years has allowed these nobles to have sufficient resources to enter various fields and become giants in this field.

Just like Earl Hall who just left, the Hall family before him was just an earl who had been hereditary for hundreds of years, and at most had some shares in the bank. In Loen, there are not many such nobles, but there are more than ten, such as Earl Wolf.

But in the hands of Earl Hall, the Hall family only kept the lowest land for the earl title, and sold the rest of the land more than ten years ago, and bought all the shares in major banks. The land price at that time had not risen to the level of the previous years, so in the past ten years, many conservative land nobles have ridiculed the Hall family for losing the tradition of aristocrats.

Of course, it was also out of jealousy. Earl Hall has become the largest shareholder of Bavart Bank, the fourth largest shareholder of Backlund Bank, the special advisor of Ruen Royal Bank, the third largest shareholder of Suhit Bank of Intis Kingdom, and the second largest shareholder of Constant Coal and Steel Consortium. major shareholder.

Especially after the repeal of the Corn Act, the more conservative nobles suffered more, such as Duke Negan and Duke of Wolfe. Relatively speaking, Duke Negan can still support it. After all, the family has a big business, but Earl Wolf and his like can no longer support it and start selling the land.

Duke Negan finally got up from his seat, walked a few steps in the office, and yawned continuously:

"Of course I know Nozick can't be moved even if I keep getting involved, but I have to try. Yesterday Earl Wolfe came to me, trying to set the new party back with this shooting and re-establish the Corn Act. "

Agusid also got up from behind the desk, with a bad tone:

"How is this possible, His Majesty the King will not agree, nor will the Parliament."

"Aha"

Another yawn, Duke Negan rubbed his tearful eyes:

"Although only Earl Wolff was alone yesterday, it was just because many nobles didn't know it. Let's wait a few days to see how big this counterattack is. I didn't expect that the loss would be so great after the repeal of the "Corn Act". !"

Now that the Conservative Party is in power, Duke Negan must agree to the repeal of the Grain Act, otherwise the bill cannot be passed. But the loss was so great that he did not expect it. The previous promises of George III and the new party were irreparable.

Prime Minister Agulhid sighed. The motion was passed in his hands. If it weren't for his brother, Duke Negan, the biggest supporter of the Conservative Party, he would have lost the parliamentary support and had to lead the cabinet to resign early. As for the dissolution of the House of Commons, the King will not agree, neither will the Conservatives, only the New Party will be happy.

Seeing Duke Negan yawning a few more times, Prime Minister Agusid, who knew his brother was a man, couldn't help but persuade him:

"Pallas, do your mistresses want to..."

Duke Negan interrupted Agusid's words:

"No, it's just personal virtue, it won't be like Nozick's."

As the largest land aristocrat other than the king, Duke Negan has many mistresses, but in the relatively conservative Loen Kingdom, this is a place that is easily attacked by political enemies. But this is just a loss of personal morality, which noble does not have it? won't cause much impact.

Seeing that his younger brother's face was not good, Duke Negan quickly changed the subject:

"Do you know why this case is so big?"

"why?"

Agusid frowned. He didn't know the reason. He had too many things to deal with.

"There is a young barrister behind Werther Gold."

Prime Minister Aguchid tentatively gave an answer:

"Rolls Adrian?"

Duke Negan didn't hide the surprise on his face, and blurted out:

"how do you know?"

"A year and a half ago, he did the same thing. First, he used the newspapers to create public opinion, and then he easily made the jury change its opinion. How could he intervene in this matter? I remember that he never accepted bipartisan cases."

Prime Minister Agulhid has always had an impression of Rawls, and he was worried that he would fall to the New Party. After all, there are not a few barristers among the members of the New Party. But Rawls has no obvious political inclination, and just concentrates on running his own firm.

Duke Negan didn't answer. He left the office and called in his secretary, Lockhard Siakam, who was standing far away:

"Lockhard ~www.mtlnovel.com~ Lockhard is thin, blond, looking in his thirties, with gold-rimmed glasses and white gloves. He entered the prime minister's office and stood closer to the door with his head bowed. .

"Tell me about that Rolls Adrian."

The blond secretary, Lockhard, said in a low voice:

"Rolls Adrian, 23 years old this year, graduated from Lincoln Law School. He inherited his own law firm two years ago and became the youngest barrister in Backlund. So far, he has kept all cases in full. Wins. But has not been politically inclined and only hired a Conservative-leaning housekeeper two months ago and started connecting with members of the Conservative Party."

Duke Negan tugged at his dark blue admiral's uniform and said:

"This Mr. Adrian is trying to formally enter the Conservative Party with this matter."

The blonde secretary, Lockhard, bowed his head and replied:

"According to the current research and judgment, this is the case."

Prime Minister Agulhid frowned and said:

"Is he an Extraordinary?"

Agusid knew that the young barrister was very powerful, but he had no connection with him, so he didn't care much about this aspect. But now that there is a relationship, it is natural to understand.

"Whether it's the Nighthawks team at the Church of Evernight, or my temptation last night, this Mr. Adrian is not a Beyonder."

"It seems that Adrian is only gifted as a lawyer."

Agusid nodded, this is reasonable, after all, the family does this business.

"If he can do this well, after joining the Conservative Party, I don't mind giving him a "lawyer" potion."
