Pride and Prejudice Mr Bennett

James stared blankly at the retreating scenery, his whole body was stiff when he sat, and he would feel dizzy when he was shaken when he was lying down.

"How long until the next town?"

"Sir, it will take about two hours." The coachman thought for a while before answering.

This coachman was specially equipped by Hughes for James, just for the convenience and quick arrival on the way.

After hearing this, James calmed down, closed his eyes, and glanced at Lewis enviously. What a spirit, he still has the energy to study the customs of Birmingham.Perhaps it is this spirit of not being afraid of hardship that allowed Lewis to graduate from Cambridge University under difficult circumstances.

"Is there any information about local gentlemen in Birmingham in your current file?" James tilted his head and said leisurely.

"There are only a few here, but the information here is not very detailed. It seems that we need to find local people to clarify." Lewis flipped through the information in his hand.

James nodded, the time was too short, and the disadvantages were highlighted.He didn't have time to collect information, didn't understand the truth of the matter, and didn't have a plan. James is in a mess now, but he doesn't have the energy to think about it.

"According to the information in your hand, make a plan first, even if it is very simple, it doesn't matter."

"Yes, Mr. Bennet."

"Sir, Banat Town has arrived."

The coachman parked the carriage steadily and opened the curtain. After James and Lewis got down and moved their hands and feet, they seriously looked at everything around them.

The first thing I saw was the hotel, ah, what James was most looking forward to seeing at the moment, after a day of riding in the carriage, James seemed to be about to take a good rest.The reception was fairly clean, but the house was a bit old, and the people around were vaguely watching the group of outsiders.It seems that this small town is closed, so when I saw the outsiders who suddenly came here and it was obvious at first glance, they couldn't help sneaking a few glances. Of course, James also saw the crowd looking at them from time to time, meeting ear.

James felt very uncomfortable. He didn't want to be seen as a monkey by the locals, so he said to Lewis: "You go to the hotel and book three rooms."

Lewis hurried in, he was not used to it either.James immediately followed, leaving only the coachman still waiting for the hotel's arrangement for the carriage.

Seeing that both James and Lewis went in, the surrounding crowd had no scruples, so they started discussing loudly.

"This must be a big man from a big city. If only he came to settle in our town."

"How is it possible to settle down? But just stay for a few days, you can hold a party, if you are not married." A woman with a daughter is looking forward to it.

"You have a good idea. It doesn't matter if you stay for a few days. How could the adults take a fancy to your family. Only the beautiful Miss Letty can."

"Look at the clothes they are wearing, they are really fashionable, what a fine fabric."

Some people tried to talk to the coachman, but the coachman chatted with them a little everyday, and didn't say anything about James and the others.

James didn't know the people outside were arguing with him after he went in, but even if he knew, he wouldn't care about it. Anyway, he just stayed for one night, and he could have a good rest. Well, I don't care about other things.

"Sir, the room is fixed, you can go up and rest now." Lewis said to James with the key.

"Gentlemen, please come with me." A waiter came and led them up.

"My coachman still has a carriage outside, how did you arrange it?"

"Sir, please rest assured that someone has already arranged it."

James felt relieved, he really didn't expect that in this backward place, the hotel service here is really polite, not bad.But after one night, James completely changed his mind. This is really cheating. This is the most real thought in James' mind the next morning.

But now, James killed himself and happily followed the waiter up.

"Sir, is there anything else I can help you with?"

"I need hot water, and dinner and tomorrow's breakfast will be delivered to the room." James just wanted to pack up and go to bed now.

"Yes sir, you can ring the bell if you need anything."

I don't know if it's because of being too tired, or because of his illusion, James always felt that there was something special about the waiter when he said this.

London

Hughes received a letter from Birmingham again. After reading the letter, his face was completely dark. This time the matter was serious. The person in charge of Birmingham was assassinated.What exactly happened? If it was just for business, this kind of thing would not have happened. Could there be some inside story?Thinking that James didn't know yet, Hughes became anxious.

"Where is James now?" Hughes hurriedly asked the assistant beside him.

"I don't know. Mr. Bennet changed his course after walking for three days. It is difficult to know the exact location at present."

"Then there is no way to send a letter to them. Also, I guess they will arrive in Birmingham in a few days." Hughes took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. Now is not the time to be impulsive.

"If Mr. Bennet has been taking shortcuts all the time, it will arrive in about two days, but even if we deliver the letter to the only way, we will not be able to deliver the letter within two days." The assistant guessed that Something big happened, otherwise the boss wouldn't be so nervous, so he hurriedly told what he knew.

Hughes listened and knew that there was no other way now.

"Call Mr. Thomas in."

The assistant hurried to find it.

"Sir, are you looking for me?" Thomas is a retired soldier. He has been on the battlefield before, and his skills are also extraordinary. Now he is the chief guard of the Lange family, mainly to protect the safety of the Lange family.

"Yes, I want you to go to Birmingham. Something happened there. I want you to protect Mr. Bennet, as you know."

Mr. Thomas also knew James and had a good relationship with him. Now he heard that he was willing to protect James, but now he mainly works for the Langer family, so he asked, "I'm gone, who should be responsible for the family? "

"Let your deputy take it first. The deputy was also taught by you, and there is nothing at home."

After hearing what Hughes said, Thomas didn't say anything else.Nodding his head, he turned around and went to clean up. When Assistant Hughes came to him just now, he roughly talked about the general idea of ​​the matter. He also knew that things were very tense now, and his deputy was brought out by himself. I still know him very well. If you are strong, you can rest assured that the deputy will stay to protect the Lange family.

"Has George been contacted?" Hughes asked again. He had been trying to contact him when he knew about the accident in Birmingham.

"Not yet." The assistant is also reflecting on whether he has been too relaxed recently, and now he has no information. He glanced at Hughes, and was glad that Hughes didn't seem to be angry with him.

Hughes walked up and down the living room, still uneasy after thinking about it, and made up his mind to go to Birmingham as well.

"How is my recent itinerary arranged?"

The assistant froze for a moment, but quickly came to his senses.

"Sir, there is a board meeting to be held in the afternoon. Tomorrow, we will inspect the hotel. What's more, we will sign a cooperation contract with Kaidi's family the day after tomorrow."

Hughes listened, and it didn't matter much. The most important things had been dealt with a few days ago, and the troublesome thing was the cooperation with Kaidi's family.

"Back the time, you stay in London and take care of it. I'm going to Birmingham with Thomas, and now you make arrangements."

The assistant opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but still didn't say it, and bowed down to prepare according to what Hughes said.

"It's all ready, right? Let's go out now." Hughes walked out quickly, and Hughes couldn't wait.

But as soon as he walked to the door, he almost bumped into someone. Hughes frowned and was about to reprimand him, but the other party immediately showed joy when he saw Hughes as if he saw the savior.

"Great, Mr. Lange, something happened to the hotel." The man gasped and said quickly.

"What did you say? What happened? What happened?" Hughes had a bad feeling.

"It's the hotel in the center of the city. I'm an employee there. The manager is dealing with it and asked me to come and inform the sir."

"Quickly tell me what happened." The assistant saw that Hughes' face was darkened, and he almost lost his temper.The boss is in a bad mood today. The incident in Birmingham is already annoying enough, but now there is another accident here. This employee really doesn't wink at all, and is still procrastinating.

"Uh, the restaurant is on fire." The employee said dryly.

After hearing this, Hughes couldn't care less about other things. The restaurant usually has the best business, and it's almost time for dinner now. I hope there won't be too many people, so there won't be any fatal accidents.

"Hurry up and catch up!" The assistant looked at the stunned employee, and suddenly pulled angrily, "Explain clearly what's going on on the way."

The employee didn't dare to come in front of Hughes, so he just stammered and told the assistant about what happened.The assistant complained in his heart. Wasn't it very smooth at the beginning? Why is he listless at this time?The assistant didn't notice that it was all from the time he started interjecting, but it can't be ruled out that he was also frightened by Hughes' black face.

"Sir, the thing is probably like this. One of the cooks went to work today after drinking, and he was the only one left in the kitchen at that time. The chef accidentally caught fire when he was a little drunk. I only know this now. As for the guests It’s not clear if there was no accident. I don’t know if the fire is extinguished, but according to what the employee saw, the fire is not so easy to extinguish this time.” Although the news is not good, the assistant will not tell the situation on his own. It's better, it's not for the boss's benefit, it's paying back the boss, if he makes the boss make a wrong decision because of his self-assertion, he will be a sinner, so he always speaks out what he knows objectively.

Hughes nodded to indicate that he understood.

"Tell Thomas to let him go now, don't wait for me." Hughes felt that this year was not going well, and all kinds of things happened one after another just after the new year.If only James was there, he might say that his fate is not good this year. Of course, he just said it quietly in his heart, and Hughes couldn't understand it anyway.This is the profound Chinese culture.

"Tell Thomas to bring more people, mainly to find James to protect him." Hughes whispered to the assistant, now that there are too many things, Hughes is more careful, and he must not be negligent and be taken advantage of.

When we arrived at the hotel, the hotel manager finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After that, Hughes was so busy that it became a luxury to go home to see his son. He had been paying attention to the situation in Birmingham, but the time for letters to and from was too long, and the news was intermittent. Hughes wrote again. To my friends over there, hoping to get some help.
