302 has a bad heart
Sandhurst people are no strangers to the military, after all, Sandhurst Royal Military Academy has hundreds of students all year round.
However, soldiers and soldiers are not the same, Sandhurst Royal Military Academy trains junior officers, similar to Winster, Henry, the children of nobles, after graduating from high school, if you don't want to go to Oxford, Cambridge to be embarrassed, Sandhurst Royal Military Academy is the best choice.
Those officers and students who have just walked out of middle school are definitely different from the soldiers who have been on the battlefield around Roque.
Roque must be surrounded by elite soldiers comparable to special forces, and the leader Don even participated in the Boer War, which is also the only old brother around Roque who is still a sheriff, and the rest of the brothers either retired to Umbrella and Brad, or joined the army, at least a mid-level officer.
Roque's guards were selected from the newly formed 1st Cavalry Division, and almost all of the more than 40 men who had participated in the conflict with the Congo Free State and the counterinsurgency in Natal, had a wealth of combat experience and strong personal strength that could not be compared with those fledgling officers.
So the matcha shop owner immediately felt a strong pressure.
However, it was too late for him to apologize at this time, and Roque would not take the initiative to bully people, but if he came to find fault without opening his eyes, Roque would not be polite, so Roque raised his hand and called Bella over, ready to let Phyllis and Bella go home first.
The next thing is not suitable for children.
"Please exercise restraint, sir, I'm Sheriff Sandhurst—" A guest in the hallway tried to intervene.
"Shut up, I'm Lord Nyasaland's Captain Don, you're the sheriff, it's good, why did you go just now? I see you're smiling so happily—" Don didn't want to hear the sheriff's name at all, and if he wanted to interfere, he had better weigh himself.
The sheriff immediately shut up, the lord and the lord are not the same, the title of the duke can be called "lord", some lords can't even afford to rent a carriage, and the lord with the captain of the guard is not something that the sheriff can manage.
Even the sheriff retreated, and the other guests were wise, and almost in the blink of an eye, they dispersed.
The British are still very polite, and these guests finally did not forget to put the meal on the table when they left, and carefully pressed it with a cup.
The sheriff didn't dare to leave, and if something happened to Roque here, the sheriff would be responsible.
"Sheriff, arrest this gentleman, he has insulted an imperial nobleman and should be introspected in prison." Roque doesn't talk nonsense, those guests actually didn't go far, they were still watching from afar, and Roque didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so he was locked up for a few days as a punishment.
The poor shopkeeper was now completely discouraged, and sat on the steps of the corridor shivering, sweating profusely, and a girl in a maid's costume in the door of the shop held a crumbling old woman, covering her mouth and choking out tears, watching it all in disbelief.
"I'm sorry Danny, you've messed with someone you shouldn't-" The sheriff came over and pulled the shopkeeper up from the ground to take him away.
"I'm fine, I'll be back." Before the shopkeeper was taken away, he didn't forget to go back and explain to his wife and children.
Roque felt a little bored, obviously he was the victim, how could he act as if he was bullying.
Looking back at the lively guys around them, they didn't seem to think it was the shopkeeper's fault, and they all looked at Roque with hateful eyes, and there were even a few students in cadet uniforms crowded inside.
Roque suddenly felt irritable, turned and got into the carriage back to the manor, and suddenly had no expectations for the military school life that was about to begin.
Britain itself may not be very friendly to Roque.
When she got home, Phyllis was still very sorry, thinking that it was because of her own reasons that Roque was humiliated.
"Don't be sorry Phyllis, it's none of your business." Roque will not be angry with Phyllis, that hateful shopkeeper is actually the epitome of tens of millions of British, although Roque is now an imperial baron, but ordinary Britons will not care what Roque has contributed to the British Empire, even if they will not discriminate against Roque in person, they will definitely try their best to slander and slander behind their backs.
"That man is so hateful, he must be locked up for a few more days." This was already the most severe punishment Phyllis could think of.
Roque doesn't care about this, no matter what the outcome is, the Sandhurst Police Department will definitely give Roque an explanation, otherwise Roque will definitely not give up.
As a result, Sheriff Sandhurst came to visit Roque in the evening.
"I'm sorry Lord, this kind of thing happened, no one wants to see it, Danny is not a bad person, he did something wrong in a moment of confusion, the police department decided to detain him for a week and fine him ten pounds, can you accept this result, Lord?" The sheriff was wearing a police uniform this time, similar to the one in Johannesburg.
This result was acceptable to Roque, although the shopkeeper had made a mistake, he was not guilty of death, and now this level of punishment was sufficient.
As for the sheriff's "Danny is not a bad person", Roque took this sentence to heart, and this time he came to Sandhurst, and Roque wanted to see how many strokes he could remember, and he would slowly return them one by one in the future.
"Yes, it's enough for him to realize his mistake." Roque is not magnanimous, Britain in this era is like this, not to mention Indians, Japanese, even Germans, Americans are not welcomed.
Racism is a matter of concern in the 21st century, and no matter who it is, it is a matter of avoiding it.
It's different now, at this time period, clan discrimination is politically correct, non-discrimination is abnormal, the same is white, Germans and Americans will be discriminated against in the same way in Britain and France, and French restaurants also do not entertain Americans, thinking that Americans are rude and uneducated nouveau riche, which will affect the mood of other guests in the restaurant.
Not to mention the Germans, who in these years were synonymous with shoddy production, and the British government would even warn its citizens to be careful with low-quality German products, which would have caused a diplomatic storm in the 21st century, but at the beginning of the 20th century, even the German government considered its products unacceptable.
Americans have also not rebelled against discrimination in Europe, but have doubled down on Africans in the United States.
Luo Ke is a Chinese, even if he is a nobleman, he will definitely not be able to change the current situation, so Luo Ke still keeps a low profile and keeps all the accounts in a small book.
The Americans also waited until after the two world wars to completely turn over, and Roque was not in a hurry, and in another ten years, it would be interesting to see if the British could maintain this arrogance.
Winston was still very efficient, and on the morning of the third day, Winston had someone send news to Roque that he had found a suitable house.
Roque was a little depressed, if this was in Johannesburg or Nyasaland, that is, a phone call, but in England, he needed to send someone to make a trip, obviously there was a phone in the manor, but Winston seemed to be still alive in the last century, and Roque didn't know what to say.
Compared to Johannesburg, there are still some things that can be handled in the UK, at least the four-wheeled carriage is smoother than the two-wheeled carriage in Johannesburg.
However, the two-wheeled carriage in Johannesburg only requires one horse to pull, and the four-wheeled carriage requires two horses, and the efficiency between the two is the same, which leaves Roque speechless.
The British Empire is indeed rich and does not care about this waste of resources.
The house that Winston found for Roque is on King's Road in the Chelsea district, which is the rich area of London, and the people who can live here are either rich or expensive, and the middle class can't afford to rent a house here, and the house that Winston found is a three-story building, about thirty rooms, the house has all the facilities, the decoration is quite luxurious, and the price is of course very beautiful, which costs 40,000 pounds.
This price startled Phyllis: "God, 40,000 pounds, you can buy a 40,000-acre farm in Johannesburg!" ”
This is the price it used to be, and it is certainly not possible to buy it now.
However, Roque also felt a little painful, this price was a bit beyond Roque's budget, Roque originally thought that one or two thousand would be about the same.
"Don't be too expensive, such a house, the annual rent is more than 1,000 pounds, the current house prices in London are really crazy, I can only say that there are too many rich people, so that a family like mine can't afford to buy a house like this." Winston also complained that it seemed that housing prices in hot spots were not cheap at any given time.
The speaker has no intention of listening, and Roque is also stingy with Winston: "Is there such a house yet, I will buy another one for you." ”
Roque is very generous, and the investment he has made in Winston now will be ten times and a hundred times in the future.
"Give it to me? Forget it, I live in such a house, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep at night. Winston seemed to be quite moved, but he was still able to rationally refuse.
Winston was from the Marlborough family, and a family like him could not afford such a house, and I am afraid that if Winston accepted this house, it would immediately arouse doubts.
Don't underestimate the tilting between political parties, sometimes a small mistake will lead to huge consequences, not to mention such a property worth tens of thousands, which is generally inherited by a nobleman for hundreds of years, and the sum of the family background is estimated to be like this.
Roque laughed, feeling that Winston was really aggrieved in London, such an environment Roque couldn't stand it for a day, the duke's grandson was timid, and Roque, the baron, was still low-key.
However, Ade does not need to keep a low profile, and after Ade leaves office, he will definitely be able to stay at home for a long time, even if he lives in such a "mansion", he does not have to worry about being attacked, which is called "being unofficial and light".
40,000 pounds is not a small amount, and no one will carry such a large sum of money, and if you want to pay it, you can only go to the bank.
Of course, Roque went to the RAND Bank, and the RAND Bank in London was in the City of London, and the woman who walked into the door of the RAND Bank and leaned against the counter and smiled at Roque was actually Ada.
Roark looked back at Phyllis and suddenly felt that his heart was not very good.
