310 It's not that it doesn't fail, but the time has not come
Roque could tolerate William's verbal provocation, but could not tolerate William's entanglement of Ada, so the Umbrella Company secretly began to investigate William.
Unexpectedly, just two days later, news came from Xia Jiu, and among William's friends, there was a person that Roque almost forgot: Henry Alsop.
That's right, no wonder William knew that Roque had a gold mine in Johannesburg, and he sneered at Roque as soon as they met, there must be a demon when things go wrong, and Roque didn't need to investigate to know that Henry Alsop would not say good things about Roque in front of William.
Fight snakes do not die but suffer from them, before in Johannesburg, Henry Alsop ran fast, Roque did not have time to settle accounts with Henry Alsop, and now Henry Alsop took the initiative to send it to the door, just to settle the new account and the old account.
The environment in London is actually the most suitable for a gentleman like Henry Alsop.
Although Baron Mahalles's family did not have a gold mine, but he also had some family background, Harry Alsop is now the deputy governor of the Transvaal, and he is ambitious to compete for the position of prime minister of the Transvaal after the implementation of democratic representation in the Transvaal, and he has no time to care about Henry Alsop, so Henry Alsop lives very freely in London.
In fact, there is not much leisure, in a place like London, the thought of leisurely needs capital, Henry Alsop's pocket money, it is really impossible to live freely in London, not to mention that there are many barons in London, Henry Alsop also has to be a man with his tail between his legs in London, so Henry Alsop was very empty during this time.
"That yellow man's assets are not just gold mines, gold mines are only a part, as far as I know, that yellow man has many farms, fiefdoms, enterprises, factories, and even shares of the Rand Bank, as well as the Yellow Man, legend has it that the Yellow Man is a couple, and the child of Mrs. Capet should be the Yellow Man." At the mention of Roque, Henry Alsop had an unconcealed hatred in his words.
"What a bastard, how could Mrs. Capet fall in love with that guy—" William felt very unworthy for Ada, a nobleman with excellent conditions in all aspects, but he fell in love with a yellow man from the Far East, which made William feel distressed.
"Don't underestimate him, that yellow man is now married to the Matilda family, and he is very powerful in Johannesburg and even in the Transvaal, if it is in the Transvaal, I definitely don't approve of you clashing with that yellow man, but this is London, we have a way to deal with that yellow man." Henry Alsop was triumphant, as if in London he could control Roque's life and death.
In fact, scum is scum everywhere, and in the Transvaal, Roque was able to force Henry Alsop to run back to his homeland; In London, Henry Alsop still didn't have the capital to go against Roque, so he could only hide in the dark sewers and grit his teeth.
"You haven't forgotten your fiancée, I've seen it, I have to say, your vision is very good, but there is still a gap with Mrs. Capet, when we kill that yellow man, your fiancée belongs to you, Mrs. Capet and the RAND Bank are mine!" William's appetite is big, the RAND Bank has been in the limelight recently, and William is also salivating over the RAND Bank.
Needless to say, how profitable the bank is, after the RAND Bank entered London, with good service and strong financial strength, it quickly gained a foothold in London, and recently rumors in London that the RAND Bank actually became a creditor of the Japanese government, and is also buying the treasury bonds issued by Russia for the Russo-Japanese War, this look is the unfathomable strength of the game, the average bank does not dare to bet in this level of war, only a few powerful banks dare to play like this, no matter who will win the war between Russia and Japan, The RAND Bank, which bets on both sides, is a winner.
"I have a good way, I will be able to kill that yellow man, you may not know, Nyasaland is basically yellow people now, after the yellow man got Nyasaland, he went to Nyasaland to immigrate wildly, the previous election in Johannesburg, it was because of the support of these yellow people, the Liberal Party can win the final victory, now if you go to the Transvaal or Nyasaland, you will be surprised to find that the proportion of yellow people is much higher than that of white people, it can be said that yellow people stole our victory, are enjoying the dividends of our victory in the Boer War, which should have belonged to us whites—" Henry Alsop knew the Transvaal well, and added fuel to the story of Nyasaland, but coincidentally, there was not much discrepancy from the facts.
"Annoying thieves, they should all go to the mines." William's sense of ownership is very strong, and this kind of thing can't be tolerated no matter what.
Leaving the Marlborough family's mansion and returning to his rented apartment, Henry Alsop became angrier the more he thought about it.
The gap is too obvious, the Marlborough family owns a mansion in the rich area of London, even if Roque comes to London, he can buy a property in London and live comfortably, Henry Alsop's father is also a baron, but he can only live in a rented house, Henry Alsop could accept this situation before, but now with Roque comparison, Henry Alsop really can't accept it.
"Wait, Locke, I'll get back what I lost." Henry Alsop couldn't help but mutter.
"Are you calling me?" The old butler's ears were not good enough to hear what Henry Alsop was saying.
As a nobleman, there is definitely no shortage of servants around Henry Alsop, of course, servants and servants are not the same, such as De Gaulle next to Ada, even Zach and Bella can't compare, in terms of heritage, Roque still has a lot of homework to make up, needless to say Baron Mahanles, whose family has fallen into the middle.
The nobles who went to work in the colonies were generally depressed in their homeland, and if there was a way, no one would take the initiative to go to the colony, including the former Baron Matilda, and if he had a good time working in the colonial office, Philip would not go to the Transvaal.
Of course, Philip would not have imagined that it was in the Transvaal that the Matilda family really prospered.
"No, go back to your room and go to sleep, and don't come out of any way." Henry Alsop didn't like the old butler, and if it weren't for his father's insistence, Henry Alsop wouldn't have taken the old butler with him at all.
The next day, Henry Alsop asked William to go fishing.
Fishing was William's hobby, not Henry Alsop's, who invited William to fish because he liked it.
It's a pity that William's mind is on Ada, and he doesn't have the heart to fish at all, so Henry Alsop can only go alone.
The feeling of having no money is indeed very unpleasant, Henry Alsop can't even afford a carriage in London, so he can only rent a carriage for a long time, although the body of the carriage is also painted with the coat of arms of the Mahanles family according to Henry Alsop's request, but Henry Alsop still feels too embarrassed.
If you go fishing in London, of course, you have to go to the River Thames, which originates in the Cotswolds Hills in southwest England and flows through London for 338 kilometers, with the North Sea estuary 29 kilometers wide.
The place where Henry Alsop and William often went fishing was near the country house of the Mallborough family, and because of his relationship with William, Henry Alsop was able to enter the villa to rest, which greatly satisfied Henry Alsop's vanity.
"I'm going fishing, pick me up in an hour." Henry Alsop did not let the coachman follow, and William and Henry Alsop's fishing boat was located next to the simple dock, which was a good place for fishing and leisure with gentle currents and many fish.
"Okay—" The coachman was hired with the carriage, and he was very obedient to do whatever he wanted.
An hour later, the coachman came to pick up Henry Alsop, only to see an empty fishing boat.
Henry Alsop's fishing rod was still on board, but the man was gone.
The driver searched the neighborhood for half an hour before returning to London to call the police.
The reason why a corrupt country is a corrupt country is that the administrative efficiency is outrageously slow, and by the time the police came to investigate the whereabouts of Henry Alsop, it was already a day later.
Then it took another three days, twenty kilometers downstream of Henry Alsop's disappearance, to find a corpse that had swelled into the shape of a giant.
The London Metropolitan Police concluded that Henry Alsop had fallen overboard while fishing.
This conclusion is normal, I don't know how many people drown in the Thames every year, Sherlock Holmes does not exist in real life, even if it is a nobleman who is drowned, the London Police Department will not treat Henry Alsop's death as murder without obvious evidence, let alone conduct an autopsy on Henry Alsop's body.
No kidding, no matter how young the baron is, he is still a nobleman, and no one dares to perform an autopsy on Henry Alsop's body unless Henry Alsop's family asks for it.
And Henry Alsop's family is in the Transvaal, so—
In fact, by the time the Lieutenant Governor learned of Henry Alsop's death, it was already a week after Henry Alsop's death, and don't forget that it was July, the weather was so hot, and the body had been parked for a week, and it was already highly decomposed, so the Metropolitan Police Department cremated Henry Alsop's body early, and when the Lieutenant Governor knew the news, even if he wanted to investigate the real cause of Henry Alsop's death, there was nothing to find out.
In short, Henry Alsop died silently and without causing any waves, and the world estimated that only William would doubt the real cause of Henry Alsop's death in the dead of night.
It's really chilling down the spine.
