"Rawls, I heard that your law firm took over Nozick's case?"
Rawls put down his glass, which was still more than half full of blackland, and replied with a smile:
"It seems so, what? Are you going to work in my law firm? You are starting to care about small cases like this. Well, your equestrian skills are good. Do you want to come to my firm and work as a coachman?"
"You'd better shut up!"
Talim laughed and cursed, turned to Dr. Allen who was drinking ginger beer and said:
"Our Mr. Adrian has become a big shot in the legal profession. Even this kind of case is called a small case. He probably doesn't like us old friends anymore."
Dr. Allen didn't answer, he just picked up the wine glass and touched it to Rolls, causing Talim's face to freeze instantly.
Rawls and Dr. Allen clinked their glasses together, took a big sip of Blackland, looked at Talim who was frozen, and burst out laughing.
Talim rolled his eyes, walked up to Rawls, and whispered:
"I have some nobles here who think about this case. Do you want to hear it?"
Rawls' expression became serious, he frowned and said:
"Talim, this is just a small case and you don't need to join in."
Talim thought Rawls was joking, so he motioned to Dr. Allen to look at Rawls' current appearance. Seeing Dr. Allen pointing at Rawls's serious expression, he hesitated and said:
"You don't really think this is a small case, do you? What's behind this is..."
"Talim!"
Rawls interrupted Talim's subsequent words and remained serious:
"I am just a lawyer, and I only care about the case itself. What is behind it is not something I can consider. Similarly, as an equestrian instructor for a nobleman, you only need to care about your equestrian teaching. The nobleman should not care about other things. Theirs
The heart is much more vicious!"
Of course, Rawls knew that there was a lot hidden behind the case, and it could even be said that it was a new round of collision between the two parties, which he also triggered. But he still wanted to warn Talim, his friend.
Yes, it's a warning!
As a descendant of a noble family, Talim not only has a good education, but also cares deeply about his friends. This is why Rawls and Dr. Allen, who has always been cold-tempered, became good friends with Talim.
But Talim has always wanted to obtain a title, restore the reputation of the family, and prevent the Dumont family from becoming a talking point among the nobles. But this is too difficult. In recent decades, the new nobles who have been granted titles, except for the military knighthood of Viscount Barton,
, almost all of them are wealthy people who fund the two parties.
To get a title, Talim must either join the army or donate money, but he can't get either of the two.
If he had joined the army more than 20 years ago, he could have become a knight with his superb riding skills, but now Loen only has the Royal Knights, a ceremonial guard.
Donating money, Talim's annual income is only more than 400 pounds, which is not enough for a dinner party for the rich.
Even though he knew there was little hope, Talim never gave up. Joining the Krag Club was his choice. The Krag Club entrance fee was 50 pounds and the annual fee was 15 pounds, which was far more than Talim could afford at the time.
Therefore, after joining the club, Talim was excluded like Rawls, but because of his status. But through the hard work of the past few years, Talim has become the "social butterfly" of the Krag Club. And Rawls
Erls has not been to the club in the past two years, and it is estimated that not many people still know him.
Rawls's warning was a little too much for Roen, who tended to be conservative in style, even as a friend, but he had to do it. Rawls remembered very clearly why Talim died. He was in "Original Witch" and the royal family.
The plan was disrupted and the disease curse of the Witch Cult was introduced.
Therefore, warning Talim before entering the market is currently what Rawls can do.
Talim was stunned for a moment after hearing this. He knew very well what the nobles were like, his grandfather, his grandfather's "friend". He seemed to understand something, with a hint of dissuasion:
"Rawls, do you want your solicitor to drop this case?"
Rawls was a little dumbfounded when he heard this. In the end, he turned out to be the one who was warned. He sighed:
"Alas, the case is already in the hands of the firm, and everyone who deserves to be offended will be offended. If we give up, the firm will be even more difficult in the future. I can't let the firm be destroyed in my hands!"
Talim, who is also burdened with the fate of his family, is well aware of the difficulties brought about by this situation, and agreed with emotion:
"yes."
Rawls lost no time in warning again:
"We, the little chess pieces who accidentally fell into the chess game, are just a casual move by the big guys, and we will lose our lives!"
After chatting with Talim and Dr. Allen for a while, they finished the wine in their glasses, and the three of them went to play squash together. After chatting for a while, Rawls used the shooting as an excuse to leave early.
After walking out of the Cragg Club, Rawls took out his pocket watch. It was already three o'clock in the afternoon, and it was time to go to the East End to continue today's "performance".
Although Rawls did not ask Talim just now about the nobles' views on the shooting, based on Rawls's understanding, ridicule and gloating about Nozick's misfortune were inevitable.
The nobles that Talim serves are generally those who tend to be conservative, and only they allow their children to undergo equestrian training that is no longer of much use.
It has been two days since major newspapers reported that the case involved the family of the popular Congressman Nozick. Now Backlund is almost in a weird state.
The press has been reporting on the relevant cases and subsequent developments, but the political world has remained quiet, although many newspaper reporters are pursuing Congressman Nozick.
However, Congressman Nozick has always appeared as a family member of the person involved in the case, not as the leader of the new party.
And more often than not, the person interviewed is Lancer Nozick's sister, Julia Maynard, who is married to Tingen City Councilor John Maynard, a woman with an extremely strong personality.
The current state of the shooting case is that the leaders of the two parties have not yet reached an agreement and are in a wait-and-see stage. Only when the incident slips to one side will the two parties intervene to make a final decision or completely overturn the situation.
Now is the time for "little chess pieces" like Rawls to take action. If there is a good result, it will naturally be an unexpected surprise. If not, even if Rawls dies, these big shots will not change, and they may even scold
A stupid sentence that disturbed their interest.
If the big shots don't take a stand, how can those in the middle dare to take action? At most, they can just make a few sarcastic remarks to express their opinions during the discussion.
Therefore, Rawls must give full play to his "little chess piece" ability to guide the situation to one side, as the conservative side hopes, so that the general ledger will not be settled afterwards!
