Chapter 39 Seeking for Riches and Risks

In order to learn etiquette, the commandos have been wearing formal clothes these days, which has made many people's eyes light up. Even Police Chief August Russell proudly lamented that there is a group of gentlemen in the police station.

Yes, a group, not a single one, it is all the commandos. August Russell is very much looking forward to the time when the commandos in uniforms will surprise other big shots. That represents the leadership of August Russell.

Well done.

Roque did not have this consciousness. When the commandos were receiving etiquette training, Roque and Anton were wearing the work clothes commonly worn by the Boers and identifying people in a wooden building in Tuis.

Work clothes are the kind of cheap clothes sold in Jewish stores, including peaked caps, striped shirts, double-sided suit jackets with special thickening on the elbows, overalls, and slightly frayed suede shoes, etc. The quality is not good, and the fabric is a bit

Hard, cheaper and more durable.

"There are four of them. They came to Cape Town three days ago. When Aunt Mary was delivering food to them, they heard that they were plotting to sneak into the Government House dinner to cause chaos. They rented Aunt Mary's house. Now

Do you want to go over and arrest someone?" Christian was eager to try, without considering whether Rock and Anton could do it.

Christian was one of the three informants who had no news. Rock thought that all three of them had absconded with the funds given by Rock. Unexpectedly, Christian had been working for Rock. Today's news was provided by Christian

of.

After the assault on the police case was completed, Rock no longer went to the temporary resting point at the dock. Of course, Rock also did not give up on Christian and the others. Zach would go to the temporary resting point in place of Rock every day to see if any news came back from Christian and the others.

Roque plans to continue working as an informant for a long time. To do a good job as a police officer, informants are very important. As far as Roque knows, Roque is the only one in the Cape Town Police Department who has developed Boer informants. Even if Henry knew

Roark did this, but Henry did not make any attempt in this regard. If this continues, Roark will sooner or later become the most efficient police officer in the Cape Town Police Department.

In fact, it doesn't need to be too high. While other people's detection rate is 10%, Rock's 20% is enough. No matter how outstanding he is, he will be punished by God.

"Don't worry about it. You did a good job this time. This is your reward." This news is very important. Rock is not stingy either. He raises his hand and throws two one-pound gold coins over, turning over what Rock promised before.

Doubled.

"Thank you, thank you sir, I will work hard." Christian was overjoyed. It is not easy for the Boers to make a living these days, especially people like Christian who have criminal records. The British never hire people with criminal records to work.

, and now the vast majority of jobs in Cape Town are provided by British people.

Roque and Anton stayed in the attic of the house opposite Mary's house all morning, and did not see the four people Christian mentioned going out. Roque was not in a hurry, but Anton was impatient.

"It's better to go back and mobilize people and catch them all." Anton finally lost his temper and followed the arrogant British to make a living. He would inevitably be infected with the British habits. Even if there was no evidence, he would still arrest the people who should be arrested.

Grasp.

"It's not possible now. Let's just write down the people and catch them when they try to sneak into the banquet." Rock wants to take a long-term approach to catch the big fish. What he's fishing for is not these rebels, but the big shots attending the banquet.

It is an obvious fact, not to mention the principle of catching thieves and dirty ones, cracking a serious crime that has not yet been committed, and stopping a serious crime that is about to happen on the spot are completely different things in terms of merit. When Rock heard this

After the news, there was a conspiracy. If he were not worried about accidents when arresting people, Rock even wanted Christian to provide the group with some more destructive equipment, so that Rock's contribution would be greater.

"When they want to sneak into the banquet - will it appear that we are not doing our job well?" Anton was still worried and didn't understand why Roque would indulge in crime.

Yes, from Anton's point of view, Roque is now indulging in crime. As a policeman, he clearly discovered the criminals but did not arrest them. If the British find out, Roque will definitely be in trouble and be fired.

It's a minor offense. He might be imprisoned on Robben Island, which would be a big trouble. I think Sharma would wake up laughing in his dreams.

"If you don't tell me, and I don't tell you, who knows?" Rock is not worried about this problem. He and Anton communicate in Chinese, and no one in Cape Town except the Chinese can understand him.

It is impossible for Christian to speak in front of the British. He does not have this channel. Even the Chinese police. Except for Roque, no one else will look at Christian seriously. For example, Anton knows that Christian has a criminal record.

, looking at Christian again, his eyes were full of disgust.

Luo Ke's failure to arrest people is also a matter of work style. In the same company and the same job, some people work hard, but the leader just can't see it. Some people just hang out in front of the leader when they have nothing to do. The one who hangs around often gets the worse.

Leadership trust.

This is called Jane in the Emperor's heart.

Of course, Rock can arrest people now. This is also merit, but merit is divided into different sizes. Military medals also have special, first, second and third classes. If you arrest people now, it can be regarded as third class merit. But if you do it here

If the gang is about to sneak into the banquet scene and arrest someone, that is first-class merit. If weapons of mass destruction can be seized at the scene, that is special merit.

Of course, the "weapons of mass destruction" here are not the ones of the 21st century. The Boers can't build them now. In these days, a bomb can be called a weapon of mass destruction. It is not difficult to build it.

There are mines everywhere in the colonies, and there are plenty of explosives.

"Hey, Locke, you are too courageous." Anton is not stupid, and he can understand what Locke wants to do after just thinking about it.

"Oh, wealth can be gained through danger. You don't want to be a big shot for the rest of your life." Roque knew that the greater the risk, the greater the reward. The key is whether you dare to do it or not.

For Rock, living with the British is not the only way out for Rock. Rock is now considered to have a small amount of assets. Even if he leaves Cape Town, Rock is sure to make a name for himself elsewhere, so Rock

No matter what you do, you will never be constrained.

"Yes, wealth and honor can be obtained through danger. The words of our ancestors make sense." Anton was touched by the words "wealth and honor can be obtained through danger." In his heart, Anton is not a peaceful person. It can even be said that he can

The Chinese who work for the British are not peaceful people. A truly peaceful person will never take the first step. As long as the first step is taken, the future road can only be walked unswervingly.
