Chapter 33: Crisis

When he returned to the dormitory in the evening, Luo Ke went to see Luo Yi and them who were recuperating in the dormitory for the first time.

It's a little sad, although Luo Yi and they are seriously injured, but Luo Yi and they are reluctant to be hospitalized, after receiving simple treatment from Dr. Jonathan Jackson, Luo Yi and they choose to go back to the dormitory to recuperate, the cost of hospitalization is too expensive for Luo Yi.

When the British are generous, they are indeed very generous, but the British have a clear distinction between public and private, the British should pay for it, the British do not hesitate, they should not pay, and they will not pay for it, Luo Yi They are not injured at work, so the British will not reimburse Luo Yi for their medical expenses, but fortunately, Luo Yi They are also a little net worth now, and Luo Yi can still accept that little medical expenses.

"How does it feel?" Luo Ke pushed open Luo Yi's door, and Li De was chatting with Luo Yi in the room.

After the commando team was established, Luo Ke applied to adjust the dormitory for all the commandos under the pretext of cultivating a tacit understanding between the commandos, and Luo Yi and Li De are now roommates.

"Master Luo-" Luo Yi struggled to get up, if it weren't for Luo Ke, Luo Yi would definitely not have gotten away with it so easily.

"Don't get up, rest assured to cultivate, don't blame Martin for being ruthless, the inspector was staring at it at the time, and someone else came up, and there was no seriousness under his hands." Roque was worried that there was a gap between the brothers, but he made it clear to his face.

"Don't worry, Luo Ye, Luo Yi doesn't know what to do, just now I asked Brother Reed to buy a box of cigars and send them to Brother Martin, this time Luo Yi didn't know the severity, and almost ruined Luo Ye's big event, in the future, Luo Ye will not give up." Luo Yi regretted not being at the beginning, and worked hard to toss, but in the end he didn't even earn a penny, and he almost affected everyone, which is really embarrassing.

But this is also a good thing, bastards, most of them love and hate, if you like a person, you can't wait to dig out your heart and lungs, and you hate a person who is mostly old and dead, through this matter, Luo Yi and they should have learned enough lessons, not to mention how smart they can be in the future, at least don't disobey Luo Ke's orders.

Wen Yan comforted him, and before going to bed, Roque went to Mill Street again to see the progress of the construction of the ear room.

Roque saw people well, Zach did not abscond with the five pounds, stayed in Roque's house honestly, played the duties of housekeeper, gardener, servant, maintenance worker, and porter, in just two days, Zach mowed all the lawns, repaired the fountain that stopped running due to malfunction, and was taking care of the small garden behind the house.

Of course, Zack did not relax the supervision of the workers, although Zack could not speak, but Zack was very good at using stern eyes to urge the workers who built the ear room, the construction progress of the ear room in the past two days has been significantly accelerated, if nothing else, within ten days, the ear room can be completed.

When Roque returned home, Zach was eating in the makeshift tent where the workers usually rested, the meal was not bought, but sent by Zack's sister Bella, Bella is a girl who has just turned sixteen, Roque has seen it once, because it is late, Roque is not impressed, Zach has now proved that he is trustworthy, in a few days, Roque is ready to hire Bella and Zack's mother together, reduce Zack's workload, and at the same time be able to be Zack's companion.

When Roque saw Zack, Zach had a kitchen knife next to him, and seeing Roque's gaze, Zach was a little nervous: "Someone stayed outside the iron fence last night, and I don't know if it was a thief or someone, but they didn't break in, if they could, there should be a few dogs at home." ”

Get a dog!

That's a good suggestion, it's impossible for Roque to hire too many people, and it's a good idea to have a dog, at least the dog won't betray Roque.

"Tomorrow you go buy it, buy a few more, and by the way, buy a shotgun, will you use it?" Roque is generous, it doesn't cost much to raise a few dogs, but it can make a big difference, Roque also needs to prepare a shotgun for Zack, which is not troublesome, and he doesn't even have to go to the police station to register, there is a gun shop on Maynard Avenue not far from Mill Street for sale.

Of course it will be used, Zach nodded repeatedly, obviously no stranger to weapons.

Before the British colonized the Cape, the Boers were too small in number, and the whole people were soldiers, and every Boer had to receive a certain degree of military training at a fixed time every year, and the Boers in their leisure time could be farmers, merchants, and sailors, and once the war started, all Boers had to take up arms to resist the enemy's aggression.

After the British colonized the Cape, the management of the Boers was strengthened, especially the Boers in Cape Town, who had no access to weapons, otherwise when Roque was attacked, the other side might not have used a wooden club, but a rifle.

Zach was clearly trained in the military, at least as a teenager, so he was no stranger to shotguns, and now Boers outside Cape Town can still legally own guns, which will not change until later in the Second Boer War.

Leaving home, Roque went to the patrol officer in charge of patrolling Mill Street, asked them to pay more attention to his home, and then returned to the dormitory.

Both Rangers are of Indian descent, and although they don't like Roque, they don't refuse Roque's request, and everyone sees what happened to Sharma when he offends Roque, and no one wants to verify how good the relationship between Roque and the Inspector is.

What's more, as the deputy captain of the commando, Roque wears the rank of sergeant, and ordinary patrol officers have no ability to resist the sheriff, and even Sharma is not Roque's opponent, so there should be no one to find fault with in a short time.

After a night of silence, the next morning in the cafeteria, Roque heard a piece of news.

Just yesterday evening, there was a violent attack on an office owned by Titus Mining, in which about four workers and six attackers were killed, and Roque still doesn't know if Sam Francis was among them, but Roque can be sure that the incident is related to the information provided by Zach.

Coming to the police station, from Henry's mouth, Roque finally knew what was going on.

"Sam Francis was the mastermind behind a series of assaults, but Titus Mines rejected our plan of action, they privately executed Sam Francis and several other rebels, and the two lost pistols were found, oh yes, the inspector told you to go to him, don't worry, it should be a good thing." Henry was very relaxed, and finding the lost pistol also meant the end of the case, because it was Roque who provided the news, and Henry certainly had the credit.

To Roque's surprise, Titus Mining Company can handle this matter directly bypassing the police station, and Henry seems to be accustomed to it, which makes Roque have a sense of crisis, the establishment of the commando team is to deal with those rioters, and now that the rioters have been punished, is there still a need for the commando to stay?
