Chapter 9 ?1

Karl's first reaction was that this guy was here to organize a protest march. There have been quite a few such gatherings recently due to unemployment issues.

But if it was just a parade, two people wouldn't come to find him. Grouch would be enough, let alone go into the house to talk in such a mysterious way.

Then combined with what this guy just said, the answer is obvious.

"So you want me to lead the way and destroy those printers, right?"

Karl made a confident gesture, crossed his arms and looked at the two people in front of him.

"How did you guess that, Carl?"

Upon hearing Karl's words, Grouch immediately told Karl with a surprised reaction that his guess was correct.

"yes……"

"Um?"

But before Grouch could continue, Ben, who was sitting next to him, snorted and stopped what he wanted to say. Then he looked at Karl and said.

"I didn't expect Mr. Karl to actually know our purpose."

As he spoke, he slowly lowered his crossed legs, the smile on his face no longer existed, and took a long puff of the cigarette.

"Who told you this news? Do you mind letting me know?"

Ben asked with lowered eyes.

"Isn't that what you told me?"

Faced with Ban's questions, Karl did not answer directly, but smiled and asked them back.

"us?"

"I don't remember meeting you sir before, let alone anyone mentioning this to you."

Ben's face became even more ugly. It seemed that he felt that either Carl was deceiving him as a fool, or that his actions were betrayed.

"Now if we want those businessmen to return their jobs to us immediately, we can only destroy those machines and force them to rehire us. And if it is not such a violation of the law, you will not have to enter the room to discuss it in detail.

."

Carl paused and continued to explain.

"As far as I know, apart from me, the scribe, there are not many people who have access to the rooms where those machines are currently placed, and most of the others have left London. Therefore, in order to find those things quickly and accurately, it is necessary to

Ask me for help, right?"

Regarding Karl's analysis and explanation, Ben seemed to believe his words.

"Since you can understand, it will be easier to handle, then are you willing to join us and fight against these damn things?"

Without asking any more questions or making any further moves, Ben just issued a naked invitation to Karl.

"Honestly, the two loaves of bread I just bought are already my last rations."

Karl looked at Ben, patted his pocket and said with a wry smile.

"I don't know if the food at home can last until the day you take action."

Ben understood the meaning of Karl's words very well.

He took out a small bag from his coat pocket and placed it in front of Karl. It seemed to only contain a coin.

"Starting today, please do not go out between 7 and 8 pm for two days. Someone will contact you then. When he knocks on the door, he will say the code word 'Huang Ying Chu Gu'. After contacting him, just follow his instructions.

"

After giving the instructions, Ben stood up and put out his cigarette.

"It's convenient to talk to smart people. I have important things to attend to, so let me take my leave first."

Then Ben said nothing more, turned around and left decisively, and walked out of Carl's room door.

"Karl, believe Mr. Benn, I think this plan will work."

Seeing Ben getting up and leaving, Gluck quickly said something to Carl and quickly got up to catch up. Because he was in a hurry to catch up with Ben, who had taken the first step, Gluck didn't even bother to close the door of Carl's house.

"well."

Sighing, Karl stood up and walked over to close his door.

"It's really endless."

In the past 20 years, Carl's life has always been ordinary, without any twists and turns or encounters, but he did not expect that in less than a week, so many troubles would come to his door.

Returning to the table, he picked up the pocket left by Ben. When he opened it, Carl was very surprised to see that there was actually one pound in it.

You must know that in this era, the United Kingdom implemented a gold standard. The pound was also called the gold pound. There was real gold in the pound, and its purchasing power was amazing. With just one pound, at least I could have enough food for this month.

No need to worry anymore.

In fact, just judging from the appearance of the man named Ben just now, Karl could be sure that this matter was not simple. At least it was not for some ridiculous reason like taking back the workers' jobs.

It is true that you want to destroy the printer, but what is the actual purpose?

First of all, that coat is definitely not cheap, and the cost of purchasing it is definitely not something that ordinary people can afford.

But unfortunately, one of his small actions exposed the problem.

The problem is the cigarettes he just took out. People who can afford that kind of coat generally don't smoke ordinary cigarettes. They prefer to use pipes or cigars. Only people with poor financial means are used to smoking.

cigarette.

This means that this person was still in the ordinary income class not long ago, and may even be a poor person. After suddenly receiving a sum of money, although he spent a lot of money to dress himself up, he still didn't have time to change his favorite cigarettes.

Let me ask you, if a poor guy suddenly gets a lot of money, why would he care about other people's employment issues?

So this guy must have been ordered to come here, and he just briefly expressed his poverty status. This guy threw a gold pound to him without any hesitation. While proving his financial strength, he was also a reminder.

Don't do unnecessary things due to the disparity in strength between the two of you.

In this way, it is obvious that there is a very rich guy who wants to deal with his old club, and he does not want others to know that he did it himself.

As a result, there are many fewer suspicious targets in London, and they are nothing more than peer competition.

"But so what if you guessed it?"

Karl shook his head helplessly.

No matter who this person is, he is a big shot that he cannot deal with now. After all, he does not have the ability to throw away a gold pound casually.

Now that he has been approached, he lost the opportunity to stay out of the situation when they opened their mouth.

At present, it seems that if you want to run away, they will only be solved by them. After all, if you want to prevent this matter from being leaked, it is really a damn capitalist world, and the police uncle can't help you now.

Unexpectedly, I just left the inexplicable supernatural incident, and then within two days of my free time, I would be involved in such trouble again.

"But at least I don't have to worry about food this month."

Looking at the 1 pound in his hand, Carl thought happily.
