038 Moths

Life is made up of countless accidents, optimistic people look at life, there are opportunities everywhere, pessimistic people look at life, there is despair everywhere.

The reactivation of abandoned gold mines, as well as the discovery of new gold mines, can be considered accidents, and it is said that it is rare for this to happen in succession.

But "rare" does not mean that there is none, the house is also a small probability event hit by a meteorite, and someone's house has been hit by a meteorite five times in a row, this kind of thing cannot be explained at all.

The same thing is put on Roque, so it can probably only be explained by "The Chosen Son", or "The Halo of the Protagonist".

Of course, Harry and Henry certainly don't think so.

"You mean to say that you bought two farms, one of which had an abandoned gold mine in it, and it turned out that the gold mine still had the value to be mined, and on the other farm, a new gold mine was directly discovered, right?" Henry Alsop uttered this in a playful tone, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.

"Yes, that's it." Roque doesn't laugh, that's the truth, there's nothing funny, people who buy lottery tickets and lose money insist that the lottery is a scam, but there is still an endless stream of people who buy lottery tickets every day.

"Do you think we'll believe it? Don't take us for fools! Henry Alsop couldn't stop laughing, and looked down at Roque viciously.

"No one takes you for a fool, if you don't believe it, ask Director Henry." Roque is not in a hurry, and the more angry Henry Alsop is, the more calm Roque becomes.

This is the meaning of Henry's coming forward to buy the farm, Roque has no title, he is still Chinese, although he is in a high position, he is still not worth mentioning in front of the nobles.

Henry is different, backed by the Matilda family, Henry has enough confidence to compete with anyone, if Harry and Henry imagine dealing with Henry of the Matilda family like dealing with Roque, then they have to consider Lord Matilda's counterattack.

"Director Locke, we will verify the veracity of your words, and until we draw conclusions, please do not leave Johannesburg and cooperate with our investigation at any time." Baron Mahanles did not go his own way.

"Yes." Roque is not in a hurry, without the cooperation of the police department, the investigation team wants to verify?

Dream on, this isn't London.

Baron Mahanles really didn't expect Roque to be so difficult.

Watching Roque leave the office, Baron Mahanles had a solemn expression.

"Father, why don't you lock him up, he will definitely destroy the evidence and lock him up when he goes back now, and then I will take someone to search this guy's office, as well as his gold mine, this guy must be lying." As soon as Roque left, Henry Alsop couldn't wait.

"What right do you have to search a police chief's office?" Baron Mahanlais's expression was ugly.

"Uh, qualifications—" That's when Henry Alsop remembered the question.

"This is what you call the vulnerable police chief? This is what you call the flawed imperial moth? This is the despicable yellow man you don't know much about? Stupidity! "Baron Mahanles really didn't expect Roque to be so difficult, and-

His own son is so unreliable.

"This yellow man is indeed a moth—" Henry Alsop felt misunderstood.

"Okay, even if this yellow man is a moth, how can you prove it?" Baron Mahanles didn't care about Roque, he cared about letting his son learn a lesson.

"We can search his office—" Henry Alsop didn't think about it at all, he probably thought that if he called Roque over and bluffed, he would be caught.

"Stupid! Not to mention whether you are qualified to search the office of a police chief, what if you can't find evidence of a so-called crime? "Baron Mahanles pressed closely.

"How could you not find it? There must have been evidence of his crime in the yellow man's office. Henry Alsop doesn't throw in the towel.

"What if not?" Baron Mahanles will not be reckless.

Henry Alsop looked confused, he hadn't thought about it at all.

"If there is no evidence, then we will search the Rock Gold Mine." Henry Alsop finally found a breakthrough.

"What if no evidence is found at the Rock Gold Mine? So is the next step to search Baron Matilda's residence? "Baron Mahanlais's face was full of disappointment, and the family was unfortunate—

"There's no way a baron can shelter a yellow man." Henry Alsop lost his soul.

"Wake up, the yellow man in your mouth is the Johannesburg Police Chief, if you want to live in Johannesburg, you have to give a police chief enough respect, whether you like him or not, not to mention, this police chief also partners with the Baron in business, is close to the Baron's son, and has a close relationship with the Baron's daughter-" Baron Mahanles continued to pressur.

"Don't talk about it—" Henry Alsop cried out in pain.

"Go back and reflect, if you don't understand, then you go back to Mahanlais, and never come out." Baron Mahmotor did not leave any room for Henry Alsop, who was the fief of Baron Mehthore, an unknown town with no upper-class drinking parties and amorous dancing girls, for Henry Alsope, Mahendox was like a prison.

"No!" Henry Alsop slammed the door viciously and left.

Back at the police station, Roque picked up the phone and called Cecil Rhodes Jr.

"They're investigating you?" Cecil Rhodes Jr. was thought of, and Roque actually became the subject of investigation.

"Yes, just now Baron Mahanles called me over for a long time, and I thought he would lock me up." Roque didn't expect that he would pass the test so easily.

"Hehe, Baron Mahanles is not a young man who doesn't know what to do, he won't arrest a police chief for no reason, and he doesn't have the power." Cecil Rhodes Jr. did not take Baron Mahanles to heart, and the results of the investigation against Cecil Rhodes during this time showed that the outbreak of the Second Boer War had nothing to do with Cecil Rhodes.

In other words, Cecil Rhodes was not responsible for the Second Boer War.

In fact, this result was predestined a long time ago, with Cecil Rhodes's power in Johannesburg, it would be hellish if the investigation team could investigate the results, and the real purpose of the parliament to set up the investigation team was not to sit on Cecil Rhodes's crimes, but to give the public a gesture.

A gesture that really works for it.

As for the result –

It doesn't matter, it really doesn't matter.

"Do you know that there is a German priest in the police station?" Roque doesn't dwell on much, as long as Cecil Rhodes Jr. knows how much Roque is like.

"Don't worry, release him when the time is right, and I'll take care of it." Cecil Rhodes Jr. was not afraid of Wilhelm II, and Cecil Rhodes Jr. could even start a war against German South-West Africa if Cecil Rhodes Jr. wanted to.

Of course, Cecil Rhodes Jr. only has power, in fact, as long as Cecil Rhodes Jr. is not crazy, he will not do this.

"Let's wait until the investigation team is gone." Roque didn't want to get out of the way.

"Baron Mahanles is not expected to leave, and he may remain in Pretoria as Lieutenant Governor of the Transvaal." Cecil Rhodes Jr. offers a new message, and he is indeed more informed than Roque.

Roque felt a little depressed, the Transvaal, and all four of the Cape colonies, felt almost like a garbage dump, and no matter what kind of goods could be intervened.

Hanging up the phone, Roque was in a bad mood and simply left the police station and headed for the Rock Gold Mine.

The gold mine is now 5,000 workers, only about 1,000 people per shift, three shifts a day, workers can get the maximum rest, but the output of the gold mine has not decreased but increased, and the daily output is more than 1,000 ounces.

With such a high yield, probably the largest gold mine in Johannesburg, it was impossible to sell it all, and according to Roque's orders, Buck only sold the gold that could be used for the normal operation of the gold mine, and the rest of the gold was hidden in the basement.

In order to ensure the safety of the mine, the security team under Iron Hook has been increased to 500 people, of which 300 are permanent members, and the remaining 200 are rotated every other month.

In his spare time, Buck would organize workers who did not have the task of going down the mine to develop the farms around the gold mines, clearing wasteland, planting trees, building roads, building houses, repairing canals, and so on.

Of course, the results are also huge, the current Ziwei Town, there are more than 10,000 Ziwei trees inside and outside the town, around Ziwei Town, on both sides of the road from the rock gold mine to Ziwei Town, and from Ziwei Town to Johannesburg, all are planted with Ziwei trees, and in October and November, the Ziwei trees will enter the flowering period, and then Ziwei Town will live up to its name.

"We've developed nearly 100,000 acres of land around the gold mine, and Professor Douglas has suggested that alfalfa and potatoes can be grown, but Professor Douglas can't be sure how much production will be, so we need to verify that Hawley has achieved some results in this area—" Buck accompanied Roque on a tour of the farm, and Hawley was there.

"Potatoes haven't been planted yet, alfalfa can definitely be planted, I planted sixty acres of alfalfa, raised nearly 400 merino sheep and more than 100 shorthorn cattle, an average of one acre of alfalfa can raise 25 sheep, or 5 Angus cattle, now there are too many alfalfa to eat, I am ready to expand the scale of breeding, this time next year, the scale can almost be doubled-" Holly is now full of confidence, no one expected that running a farm would be so profitable.
