When Carmen Gable arrived at a clinic, LeBron was semi-conscious.
Several police officers were surrounding his bed questioning him, and one kept shaking LeBron's head, trying to get him to speak.
Carmen stood at the door, suddenly furious. He kicked the ajar door open, startling the police in the room.
"Who are you?" The leading policeman stared at him.
"I am the nephew of the injured person." Carmen said, "Gentlemen, the injured person is in a coma. What he needs most now is treatment. Otherwise, I will accuse you of attempted murder."
No matter what, put on the hat first. The policeman said angrily: "What do you do?"
Carmen is well dressed and looks elegant.
"Reporter of "Voice of the Righteous", Carmen Gable!" Carmen said, "Do you need to see my work ID?"
The expressions of the police officers changed, and the leader forced a smile: "No, if the injured person wakes up, please notify us immediately. He was involved in a fight."
The police officers walked away, and Carmen quickly found doctors and nurses to treat LeBron.
Carmen received the news relatively late, because LeBron's recruitment activities were already on track and there were several assistants, so Carmen had not come to visit for several days.
After getting off work early today, Carmen left the newspaper office and went to LeBron's office on the pier outside the city. Someone told him that his uncle was beaten by a group of gangsters, and he knew something had happened.
Carmen knows her uncle very well. Although his uncle is a tough man, he is actually more tactful and sophisticated. This is why he gets along well in his hometown. He is also a devout True God believer. It is difficult for such a person to take the initiative.
Conflict with people.
LeBron broke two ribs, suffered a certain degree of concussion, and had multiple bruises and bruises on his body. Fortunately, his life was not in danger, but he had to stay in bed for a while. Several of the guys he hired were also injured.
, it is worth noting that several engineers returning from Poitou were taken away by the police.
Carmen stayed overnight, and LeBron woke up early the next morning.
"Haha, my dear nephew, I let you see my ugly face." LeBron smiled self-deprecatingly, and he sighed unnaturally because he pulled the wound on his cheek.
"Uncle, what's going on?" Carmen asked, "There are many gangs on the dock. These gangsters have been bullying people, extorting money, and even fighting for territory. I have warned you a long time ago not to mess with them.
"
"What gang? They just work for money. I poached other people's corners and tampered with other people's cheese." LeBron replied.
Carmen suddenly realized that because LeBron had Sean's endorsement and financial support, he offered high prices to poach people, which undoubtedly angered the big factory owners. Therefore, LeBron just took the beating for Sean. Of course, this was also a bit "arrogant" and
Related to "rich and wealthy".
"Do you have proof?" Carmen asked.
"What kind of evidence do I need?" LeBron said, "This is obvious. I should have thought of this. By the way, the engineers I negotiated with earlier worked tirelessly and came back from Poitou to help me.
I'm afraid they are still locked up in the police station, you have to help me get them out."
"Okay." Carmen agreed.
He first obtained the doctor's permission and asked someone to take LeBron back to his apartment for recuperation. He also hired a person to take care of him. After working for a long time, he rushed to the dock police station.
Carmen had visited this police station several times as a reporter, and the director, Longi, naturally knew him.
"Mr. Gable, this matter is a bit difficult to handle because it involves a fight involving hundreds of people and is of a bad nature. Especially with the current bad security situation, we can't let him go just because of your words." Longi said in an official tone.
"Mr. Director, I am not investigating the incident as a reporter. I was entrusted by the victim to come to visit his employees. This is my right. At the same time, since you said this involves hundreds of people, then the situation of seven versus one hundred people,
Is it also a fight? Why do we beat people violently?
The hand is free, but the one who was beaten is locked up?" Carmener is not a junior brother. "Even if these engineers are traitors, do they also have the right to hire a lawyer? Coincidentally, I studied law concurrently when I was in college.
Do you want to see my lawyer's license?"
"Mr. Gable is serious, of course you have the right to visit these people." Longi quickly changed his attitude, "This is... an opinion."
Director Longi pointed to the ceiling, implying that he was under pressure from his superiors. This was certainly within Carmen's expectation.
After visiting the engineers, Carmen promised to hire lawyers for them as soon as possible and would give them a condolence payment to appease the frightened people.
After visiting insiders at the dock, Carmen returned to his apartment after being busy at night. The servant hired to take care of his uncle gave him a thick letter before leaving and told him:
"Sir, someone threw this letter into the yard with your name on it."
Carmen looked at LeBron and saw that he was staring at the ceiling boredly. He chatted about his visit during the day and then returned to his bedroom.
This is a strange anonymous letter.
The letter described in detail the list of gangsters involved in the attack on LeBlanc, and even more detailed descriptions of the masterminds behind the attack, which involved several steel and coal companies in northern Gyeonggi, as well as many machinery companies.
This does not surprise Carmen. As a reporter who pays close attention to social trends and the people at the bottom, he can think of it with his heels.
But the author of the letter suggested that he conduct an in-depth social survey, and the names were already thought up for him: "Investigation and Analysis of Employment and Income Situations in the Holy City and Gyeonggi Province" and "Where Are All the Orphans in the Alms House Gone?"
, and "The Encounters of a Genoese Employer in the Holy City".
This is a master who targets the darkest and most inhumane side of those big capitalists, especially those mine owners. Now some people who are willing to provide better treatment for workers are being attacked, especially in the context of economic downturn and massive unemployment.
Understand, this is not just a moral issue, the person behind the scenes has a very evil heart.
But this person's purpose confused Carmen, and he reacted quickly enough. His uncle was beaten yesterday, and he sent an anonymous letter today.
He was even more surprised when Count Coval, who was born in Poitou, came to his door in person the next day.
In fact, he never thought of asking Count Koval for help. In his impression, this count's presence in the Holy City was too low, although he had recently become the Secretary of State.
The earl condescended to him and expressed his cordial condolences to Leblanc, while subtly asking whether Leblanc was employed by Viscount Connery.
LeBlanc replied that he had a cooperative relationship with Viscount Connery and received significant support from the Viscount.
The count got the accurate answer and immediately said that he would seek justice for him. The count turned out to be more effective than Carmen, and the imprisoned engineer was soon freed, but the murderer was still at large.
Unbeknownst to Carmen, Count Coval had also received an anonymous letter. The writer claimed to represent the interests of all Genoese people and asked Count Coval whose side he was on. This forced Count Coval to show his enthusiasm.
In fact, he also knew from the pile of letters sent from his hometown that the Viscount was no longer what he used to be, which made him feel that his coming to the Holy City was actually a waste of time and that he had achieved nothing.
Leblanc rested in his nephew's apartment for more than half a month. During this more than half a month, Carmen was not idle. Following the suggestions in the anonymous letter, he conducted in-depth investigations into the job market in the Holy City and Gyeonggi, especially the large-scale mining and mining companies.
Economic status of factory workers.
The first-hand information is shocking, the unemployment rate is staggering, and the working conditions of workers are extremely poor, especially those of child laborers. They are resold from the workhouses to factory owners like tools one by one - so that the workhouses and the government do not need to take care of them.
Food and clothing for children.
In the Gyeonggi area alone, more than 30,000 children are engaged in various jobs. Not only do they work in departments that require dexterity first, but they even complete tasks that are heavy for adult men.
In a room of less than 10 square meters, there are often 14 to 20 children, ranging in age from six to 15 years old, and for 15 hours a day and night, under the whip, they have to do tasks that are monotonous and annoying.
Those who work in particularly tiring jobs and in jobs with extremely poor sanitary conditions have a very high mortality rate.
Compared with lower-class workers, female workers, and child workers, those with higher incomes from engineering and technical backgrounds were also in a very poor situation. The economic depression caused great unemployment, and many of these people were also unemployed.
In this case, those college graduates are in an embarrassing situation, whether they are high or low, especially those college students with poor backgrounds, who have to condescend to engage in low-paying manual labor when they should have obtained more decent jobs.
Carmen spent more than half a month conducting in-depth investigations, and even almost got beaten once. Fortunately, he was very alert and escaped.
Then, Carmen spent half a month writing several extremely in-depth reports, which were published in the "Voice of the Righteous" newspaper one after another, causing a sensation.
Taking advantage of the heated discussion caused by Carmen, Count Koval reaped the fruits. The Count loudly shouted in the noble assembly:
“What could have caused a respectable Genoese employer to be beaten in the Holy City?
This is discrimination and crime!
This is a serious violation of the country's law and order!
In the tragic situation of economic downturn, massive unemployment and people starving, we Genoese not only added huge taxes to the national treasury, but also provided jobs for the people of the Holy City and Gyeonggi, reducing the factors of social instability. This is a good thing.
Something that deserves to be rewarded by the country..."
Count Covar jumped up and down, very active, and seemed to be the defender of Genoese rights in people's minds, which earned him a good reputation.
Carmen had no intention of being jealous of Count Koval. In short, his uncle's job poaching business had reopened, and this time there were more applicants, because the applicants knew that the price offered by the Genoese was not a lie.
But for Carmen, he wanted to know who wrote him the anonymous letter.
