, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Reborn America’s Great Slave Master!
“Tony, I read this memoir that the boss Tondah wrote that he drank Chinese tea when he was a child, but we drank Indian tea in London a few years ago, and we can’t buy Chinese tea at all!” Heidi flipped through the pages. Looking at the “Memoirs of Stendhal” that Tangning bought from the Galis Bookstore, she asked Tangning curiously.
Tangning closed the Mirror of Flowers in her hand and replied slowly, “This is a complicated thing to say. At first, the tea that the British drank when Mr. Stendhal was a child was indeed imported from China, but because the Chinese people themselves It is said that the heaven is a country, and everything is abundant, and they do not buy anything from these British merchants, which makes the British trade with China only a deficit. In order to get rid of this embarrassing situation, the British began to steal tea seeds and tea-making technology from China. , and then took it to their colony India to grow, so now in the UK all drink is Indian black tea!”
Then he added: “Although this description is very accurate, this so-called “Memoirs of Stendhal” is not necessarily written by Mr. Stendhal, so don’t take everything in it seriously!”
“Ah?! You’re not sure if it was written by Mr. Stendhal, so why did you buy it back?” Heidi asked in confusion.
Naturally, Tangning couldn’t say that because when she was looking at it, she found that there were a lot of exciting scene descriptions, so she planned to buy it back and reference it with the Ukiyo-e she brought back from Warners, so she said perfunctorily, “What I said is not necessarily true. It was written by Mr. Stendhal, but it is also possible that if it is true, it is not worth collecting.” Then he added: “It is not expensive anyway.”
“That’s right. But Tony, I don’t think China has everything. When we went last time, we couldn’t buy a lot of things!” Heidi asked again.
Tangning explained, “There is no country in this world that has everything, it’s just that the Qing government is not willing to do business with foreigners, lest the citizens find out that there is another world and another way of living, which is not good for them. ruled!”
The two were chatting when suddenly the housekeeper Rob came in to report: “Master, Mr. Hager is here!”
Hearing the name “Hager”, Tangning frowned, “Why is he here?”
Naturally, Rob knew that his master had a bad relationship with this Mr. Hager recently, so he explained: “I don’t know, but he looks anxious!”
“He’s looking for me for anything urgent, okay, I’ll go take a look!” Tangning stood up and said.
But when Tangning walked into the living room, the maid at the door said to him, “Master, Mr. Hager just said he was in a hurry and left!”
“Why do you come to see me if you are in a hurry? Besides, no matter how urgent it is, it won’t take less than two minutes? This person is really inexplicable!” Tangning said displeased.
Although Tangning was very upset, she didn’t take it seriously. Two days later, Sheriff Klein suddenly came to him and asked, “Tony, did Mr. Hager come to see you two days ago?”
Tangning nodded and replied, “Yes.”
“Then what did he say to you?” Sheriff Klein asked.
“He didn’t tell me anything, because I never saw him!” Tangning replied.
“What?! You haven’t seen him, so why did you say he came to see you?” Sheriff Klein asked puzzled.
“It’s like this,” Tangning then repeated the situation.
“Oh, so that’s the case, then you call the housekeeper and maid, I have something to ask them!”
Tangning agreed without hesitation, “No problem, but can I ask, is something wrong with Mr. Hager?”
“Mr. Hager is missing, and according to the current clues, his last stop is your house!” Sheriff Klein explained.
“Hager disappeared?!” Tangning couldn’t help but exclaimed.
Sheriff Klein replied, “Well, we’ve been looking for a day, but we haven’t found it, and there is no record of him leaving New Orleans either at the station or at the dock.”
“This is really weird!” Tangning murmured to herself.
At this time, the housekeeper and the maid came over. Sheriff Klein went over to inquire about it, but did not get any new clues, so he said goodbye and left.
After Sheriff Klein left, Heidi leaned over and asked, “Tony, do you think Mr. Hager was killed?”
Tangning thought for a while, then replied, “I can’t rule out this possibility. After all, I’ve been missing for several days, but let’s pray for him. After all, although I hate this person a bit, I don’t want him to have an accident!”
It turned out that a few days later, the news of Mr. Hager’s murder was published in the newspaper. The body was found in a house in the French Quarter. The reporter was a neighbor of the house. He knocked on the door because of the smell. As a result, they couldn’t open it. They originally thought that the family was killed. Because they hadn’t seen their couple for several days, they only reported the case. They didn’t expect that the dead body was Mr. Hager, and the head of the family and his wife were not there.
“But according to our investigation, the Wilsons left New Orleans before Mr. Hager died, so they shouldn’t have anything to do with this matter!” Sheriff Klein said with a frown.
“But if it has nothing to do with them, why did Hager’s body appear in their house?” Tangning asked.
Sheriff Klein spread his hands and said, “I want to know too!”
“Then can we determine the exact time of Hager’s death now?” Tangning asked again.
Sheriff Klein shook his head and replied, “Because it was discovered too late, and the corpse was too decomposed~www.mtlnovel.com~ so there is no way to make an accurate judgment. We can only make judgments based on the clues provided by Rob and the others.”
After Sheriff Klein left, the housekeeper Rob suddenly came over and said to Tangning, “Master, I want to ask you one thing!”
“What are you talking about!” Tangning replied casually.
I saw Rob hesitate for a moment, and then said as if determined: “Master, I want to resign!”
“Resign, resign?” Tangning couldn’t believe her ears.
Rob explained: “That’s right, it’s just resigning, Master, I’m getting old now, and sometimes I forget things, and my physical strength is not enough, so I think I should go home and retire, so as not to delay your affairs, Master. Son!”
Tangning agreed with Rob’s explanation, because Rob is indeed not too young, he must be in his fifties, and he has been a housekeeper since his father’s generation. He is considered a veteran of the two dynasties. So it’s understandable to want to retire now, so I nodded and agreed: “Okay, then you can go back to your hometown to retire well, and I’ll ask Heidi to give you two more years of salary later, if you need money or help in the future come to me anytime, anywhere!”
