Chapter 41 Deserves to be a big official
At the feet of the Son of Heaven, Lang Lang Qiankun - no, I rewrite - at the feet of the Governor, the best place, be careful in how you behave in the world, and not be arrogant, because if you are not careful, you will offend someone who cannot be offended, and then be sent to Robben Island to fight whack-a-mole.
Fortunately, it was Henry who fired the gun, and it has little to do with Roque, but it also depends on what the Governor thinks, in case the Governor is in a bad mood today, then Roque and Henry will be stripped of their skin.
Henry didn't realize how serious the problem was, and a series of actions such as removing the shell, reloading, and loading were fluid, and it seemed that he was indeed a veteran of hunting.
Roque didn't dare to let Henry mess around, grinning and pointing in the direction of the manor.
More than a dozen horsemen had already gone out on the manor, and they were rushing towards Roque and Henry.
Henry finally realized that something was wrong, but he didn't panic, hung his shotgun in the saddle, and began to tidy up his already neat outfit.
This psychological quality is not bad.
"Who are you? What are you doing here? Probably noticed that Roque and Henry did not escape, and there were no weapons in their hands, the two of them were neatly dressed, and they looked like decent people, and the attitude of the knight on the other side was not bad, and he asked ten Millers in front of Roque and Henry.
"Sir, we're police officers from the Cape Town Police Department, and we're going to be in charge of security for the dinner in a few days, so we've come here to survey the terrain." Henry pointed to the police badge he wore on his chest, as if nothing had happened.
"Then why are you shooting?" The knights at the head did not let their guard down just because Roque and Henry were policemen, and the dozen or so cavalry he brought with him lined up in front of Roque and Henry, surrounding Roque and Henry in a semicircle.
It is said that the semicircle can't be regarded as an encirclement, but the feeling for Roque is like this, less than ten meters away, the lethality of the pistol is also considerable, and the semi-circular formation, there is no need to worry about accidentally injuring your own people, if Roque and Henry show something wrong now, then the next moment they will be beaten into a sieve.
"A bat-eared fox." Henry's answer drove Roque a little crazy, when was it, and he was still thinking about hunting, wouldn't it be a better excuse to go off?
The bat-eared fox, also known as the big-eared fox, is a type of fox with oversized ears, a common animal around Cape Town, and a favorite of hunters because they have a huge pair of ears and are sensitive to sounds, so it is not easy to hunt them.
"No hunting around here!" The knight was also a little frustrated, but his attitude eased instantly.
"Okay!" Henry's tepid answer is indeed hard to infuriate people, but it is also definitely not likable.
Roque suddenly understood, this is the British way of doing things, the British are the masters of this world, so the British can do whatever they want, they can do whatever they want, even if it is around the manor where the governor lives, as an Englishman, as long as Henry finds prey, then Henry has the right to hunt.
After discovering this, Roque was really a little envious of Henry, not of Henry's Englishmanship, but of Henry's strong homeland.
It could be seen that the knight was not satisfied with Henry's answer, but he did not have a seizure, and after a few cold glances at Henry and Roque, the knight did not say a word, turned his horse's head and galloped away.
Only then did Roque realize that Henry let out a sigh of relief, and it seemed that Henry was also nervous just now.
"Looks like we're going to have to fight again." Henry is still thinking about his bets, this kind of obviously very weak-hearted, but strong look is so cute.
"Hurry up and get down to business, I almost got killed by you." Roque didn't have Henry's white skin, so it was better to keep a low profile.
Then do the right thing, in fact, there is nothing to investigate, judging from the reaction of the manor just now, the manor is very well guarded, and Roque and they play an auxiliary role, maybe they don't even have the opportunity to enter the manor.
But that can't be paralyzing, the procedure that should be followed still has to be followed.
"The terrain around here is open, we have to wear a dress and can't carry a rifle, so let's carry a pistol with us, and then store the rifle in the carriage, I feel like we need a few more dogs, will it look more professional?" Most of the time, Henry's brain hole is always unexpected.
"Is there a police dog in the bureau?" Roque was curious, after working in the police department for so long, Roque didn't find out that there were police dogs in the bureau.
"No, there used to be military dogs in the Cape Division, but now they are all transferred to Ladysmith, otherwise I can borrow a few." Henry is a little sorry, warn of this kind of thing, dogs are much more reliable than people.
"I have a few at home, but I don't think they can be used." Roque remembered the big man in the family, and also regretted that the South African mastiff did not like to leave his territory.
"I heard that you bought a murderous mansion, I haven't been there yet, will there really be a supernatural event?" Henry's thinking habits were off the line, and Roque took a moment to react.
"How is it possible, I used the magic weapon town house and found the master to open the light." It is said that Anton also deliberately took the stone to the church for a worship, but there is no way, Cape Town really can't find a great monk.
Going to church to worship does not mean that Anton is a Christian, this kind of thing, the emphasis is on the heart to God, it does not matter what God you worship, it is important to be pious.
"What is a magic weapon?" Henry was completely led astray by Roque, and the mysterious East is indeed full of wonders.
"A lot, Taishang Laojun's gossip mirror, the stone where the mountain god sits, the water purification bottle used by the Bodhisattva-" Luo Ke casually nonsense, anyway, Henry has nowhere to verify.
"Do you have so many gods?" Henry simply couldn't believe that Christianity was monotheistic.
"Isn't there a god in Greece?" Luo Ke does not dislike the gods, there are many gods, there are town houses, there must be people who keep safe on the road, there are people who increase blessings and longevity, there must be people who send children to pay their vows, and subdivision can reflect professionalism.
"Wow, you still know Greek mythology, and the officers of your Huayong battalion are knowledgeable enough." Henry ran off again, and the building was crooked.
"They are very knowledgeable indeed." Roque smiled dumbly, if Henry asked Roque where he knew this, Roque was really hard to explain, but fortunately, Henry was very good at brain supplementation.
The two of them were chatting happily, and the knight came over again, this time inviting Roque and Henry into the manor to rest.
Look at the governor of the people, he really does things well, no matter how humble the status of Roque and Anton is, as long as they serve the governor, the governor will give a proper reward.
He deserves to be a big official.
