My British Empire

Tell me, what do you gain?

It was near evening, but the afterglow of the sun did not give the room any brightness at all.

Two torches stood around the room, swaying, just like everyone's mood, tired and worried.

As the leader, Jack couldn't see a trace of exhaustion on his face. It was still the original stereotype of everyone. He seemed to have everything in mind and didn't care about everyone's current plight.

The whole person sat upright on the chair, motionless as a mountain, like a statue, calming everyone's turbulent mind instantly, even the leader didn't worry, what are you worried about as a soldier? What are you doing.

Boss, when you came back just now, we had already discussed the use and got a few clues!

As Jack's friend, although Payne is thin and small, he is smart and tactful, so he stood up, looked at the young leader in front of him, lowered his head slightly, and said in a low voice.

First, Lord Circuit Judge Felton John currently owns two villas and three shops in Oxford, and a small estate of more than 100 acres in the suburbs! The total value has reached about 1,500 pounds. Wealth has multiplied tenfold! People are talking about it, and their dissatisfaction is palpable!

Secondly, the judge's wife is from a commoner background. She usually just goes shopping and enjoys life leisurely at home. He has a son and a daughter. The boy is ten years old and the girl is six years old. They are very smart!

However, according to our careful investigation, this Lord Justice also has a beautiful mistress at Oxford, and has a one-year-old boy!

Thirdly, the judge's usual performance is not bad, and he has a high prestige for his subordinates, servants and Yan Ruise!

Although everyone was amazed by his wealth, there was no dissatisfaction, and even envy!

Fourth, we have confirmed that he has colluded with local gentlemen for interests. As long as we investigate in this direction, we will definitely gain something!

Payne's eyes were indifferent, without any hesitation, and his tone was unhurried, and he spoke fluently in line with his authentic London accent.

The others also focused their eyes on him. Even though they already knew the specific situation, they still listened carefully without blinking their eyelids.

Among them, the last proposal is also what they want to say. At present, they can only investigate Felton John for corruption. Although at most he will be removed from office and bring a little compensation, but at least it can be regarded as a task completed.

Therefore, everyone's eyes turned to the young leader who closed his eyes and thought, looking forward to his order.

En! Well done, this is indeed a very good piece of information, you have performed very well!

Jack felt a little amused when he noticed the focused gazes of the crowd, but he unexpectedly smiled and praised them indifferently.

In this regard, the corners of everyone's mouths were slightly raised. It is very rare to be able to find out so much information in such a short time.

Besides, it is very rare to be praised by Iron Jack.

Let's go down to Judge Felton's embezzlement charges, as you've all said! And knock down a few of the little ones, along the way!

Jack seemed to have lost the desire to fight in the past, and he agreed indifferently. Everyone was surprised to find that the young leader showed a decadent expression for the first time, and their hearts couldn't stop their surprise.

In the past few months, this young adult has been known for his exuberant energy, but this time he showed a rare look of decadence, which is surprising.

Could it be that this lord has discovered a new difficulty, a difficulty that we cannot overcome, and chose to give up?

At this moment, the same idea popped up in everyone's mind.

Regarding this, everyone had different thoughts in their hearts, and there was a sympathetic expression on their faces. Seeing Jack's straight back, they only felt full of despair and loss of mind.

Just when everyone was about to leave the room, leaving the young adult to face this setback alone, his deep voice rang in his ears.

Payne, Pim, you two stay here!

There was some doubt in the eyes of the two who were about to leave, and they really didn't know what the leader was looking for.

The others paused for a moment, then walked away quickly, and the rest has nothing to do with them.

Talk about it, why do these gentry bribe the judge, and what are the benefits?

Jack changed his previous decadent appearance, looked into the eyes of the two with radiance, and asked directly.

This, we don't know about Oxford, I'm afraid we don't know very well!

Payne touched his head and said embarrassedly.

This must be a huge benefit, and the consequences are serious, otherwise they wouldn't spend so much money bribing this civilian judge!

The old man Pim blinked, looked into Jack's eyes and said.

Nonsense— Payne had a look of approval on his face, but he dismissed it in his heart.

Jack, on the other hand, seemed to agree.

Yes, this is a huge profit network!

We just need to investigate which big families have grown rapidly in recent years. They are our targets!

Jack nodded, showing a smile, and reasoned directly.

The Matthew family— Pym and Payne said in unison, and then they glanced at each other, and at the same time, and laughed loudly.

As a family that has expanded rapidly in recent years, the Matthew family has always been the object of discussion, and envy, jealousy and hatred have always been accompanied by this name.

Parker Matthew is our current number one target. The others went to investigate Felton John, and the three of us focused our energy on Sir Matthew!

Jack looked at the two with piercing eyes, and said decisively.

Are you suspicious? Payne asked softly.

Don't think so much now, we just need to complete our task, and we will talk about it later!

Jack did not deny Payne's words, but said such a meaningful sentence, which had to make Payne and Pim start to imagine.

Okay, get ready, we will start to act tomorrow, remember, don't tell anyone, including those of our companions!

Yes, my lord! Pim and Payne couldn't help but sink their hearts, and assured them earnestly.

The two left the room with some heavy thoughts and exited the door. Only then did Pim realize that this was his own room, and he didn't know what to do when he stayed at the door.

And Jack, who was sitting on the chair, also realized that this was not his room, so he could only walk out of the room with a face full of embarrassment, as if nothing happened.
