I really don't want to hang up

Chapter 241 New Year's Gift
On the first day of the new year, the sun is rising.

Luden was a little tired.

After he got up, it was already noon.

As the director of the orphanage, Luden gave a gift to every orphan, even the grown-up Bailey was no exception.

Most of the orphans' gifts are not expensive, such as books, quills, small toys and so on.

The gift for Bailey, a dark gold brooch, which Luden said was gold-plated.

Hannibal, who celebrated the New Year together, also received a birthday present.

Luden taught him a first aid method, which is specially aimed at people whose airway is blocked by foreign objects. It is easy to learn and can be rescued immediately.

After hearing the usefulness and efficacy of the first aid method, Hannibal's eyes lit up as a doctor. He understood the value of this first aid method too much!

As long as this first aid method spreads, Hannibal won't regret even if he doesn't get the Lane Medal for it.

That's a pity for the Lane Medal.

Todd also received a New Year's gift, and Luden agreed to pick an auspicious day to hold the wedding ceremony for him and his dead wife.

After expressing his gratitude, Todd chose the anniversary, the day he and his late wife met.

The happy hour for lunch is over quickly.

Hannibal rented a donkey cart and transported the unconscious Columbus back to St. Peter's Sanatorium.

Columbus's condition has stabilized a bit now, and he still needs to receive treatment in a nursing home for a period of time.

After lunch, Miss Miller and Sir Sir successively visited.

They were born and bred in Wudu, the orthodox Wudu masters, logically speaking, they were not born in the kingdom of God.

However, according to the Fog City Code, there will be a holiday around this day, so everyone simply celebrated.

What's interesting is that in Shenbang's new year, Fog has a three-day holiday, while Shenbang only has one day off.

However, there is no overtime pay here in Wudu, and the two sides will be considered a 1:1 tie.

Luden naturally prepared gifts for the two of them.

Miss Miller's gift is a quill pen with a strange bird on the top, which is exquisite in workmanship and of extraordinary quality.

As for the lord, Luden made an apple out of silver and gave it to the lord, and the apple was bitten.

The lord held the heavy silver apple and asked curiously,

"Why not gold?"

Luden replied politely, "Too vulgar."

High EQ: too vulgar.

Low EQ: Poor.

Sir Alex, who has the ability to make money, of course doesn't care whether the apple is gold or silver.

For Ferguson, he never cared about whether the other party had money when he made friends, and he was not rich anyway.

After drinking afternoon tea in the living room, Sir Sir got up and left. He still had a dinner party, although he invited Lu Deng, but was declined.

As a member of Shenbang, Lu Deng was very busy on the day of Chinese New Year.

After seeing off the guests, Luden went to the Strange Bird Bookstore non-stop.

Lu Deng gave the strange bird bookstore a greeting card, thanking the other party for his help in the past year, and hoping that the Inquisition will continue to work hard and restore the glory of four hundred years ago.

The old man who received the greeting card couldn't laugh or cry.

The last glory of the Heresy Inquisition directly wiped out the Republic of God, and the civilized world fell into endless wars and disputes, which have not subsided until today.

Father Puji was in a stable mood, and even wanted to have a drink to celebrate.

In his opinion, prostitution for free is Mr. Luden's style.

Luden never spends money on things that don't cost money.

Luden rushed from here to there like a New Year's greeting, running non-stop.

Although these customs are vulgar, Lu Deng is not exempt from them.

It was already late at night when he returned to the Santa Fe neighborhood.

Sitting on the armchair in the tailor shop, the exhausted Luden sighed softly,

"If only Pang was here."

In the past, Luden would throw such common matters to Pang, and he and Erdu went to the world.

Cough cough, in fact, sometimes Al will help Luden deal with it.

To be precise, among the three giants of Shenbang, Lu Deng is the only one who is lazy.

However, Luden also has something to say, those who can do more work!

Among the three, he was the one who was weak and sick, and he had already worked hard enough on weekdays. If he was entangled in these trivial matters, he would not have a good life for a few years.

Thinking of Pangge, Luden felt a little sad for no reason.

In Shenbang, the two sides spent nearly ten years building a great country, and then planted the seeds of subversion with their own hands.

They kept their best years in those years.

Even if he encounters the same scene again, it will be difficult for Luden to have the same fighting spirit and passion.

People will grow old.

Fortunately, Luden is still young.

Lu Deng poured two glasses of wine, touched them lightly, and drank one of them.

The sad mood didn't last long.

Although in Luden's perception, Pangge seemed to have died only last year.

However, in history, Pangge has been dead for more than [-] years, and his grave is already lush.

If a sapling was planted at that time, it has grown into a big tree and bears fruit now.
hiss--

Luden was a little hungry.

According to the usual practice, the cadres will come to the tailor shop one by one tonight, not only to pay tribute, but also to express their loyalty.

Canary Polly took a juicy girl and was kicked out by the godfather.

The righteous godfather said solemnly,

"I brought my wife here!"

When the Queen and the others didn't come back, Luden didn't mess around.

Now that the queen is back, it is even more impossible for Luden to mess around!
Polly looked at the beauties she had chosen, and she asked herself that no man could refuse such a beauty.

Thus, a bold idea emerged in Polly's heart:
Could it be that Godfather Brando is a believer in love? !

Polly decided to bring a little boy next year!
Aside from Polly, who was getting more and more frustrated, most of the things brought by other cadres were related to money, and the amount was about the same as Luden expected.

The rules of the Santa Fe neighborhood are very strict, and there are extensions on the basis of the sacred code.

Things like petty theft were even strictly forbidden by the godfather.

The former pickpockets changed careers directly, and turned into non-staff members of the security team, responsible for counter-picking.

Brando's godfather forbade stealing for a simple reason:
If everyone in the Santa Fe neighborhood loses their wallets, then people don't want to come to the Santa Fe neighborhood.

In order to drive the GDP development of the Santa Fe neighborhood, Brando's godfather took great pains.

Of course, Godfather Brando did it for a reason.

Most of the shops in the Santa Fe neighborhood have the shares of the godfather, and the property is the property of the godfather.

In addition to major changes in the pickpocket, the former head of the pickpocket, Seahorse Johnny, was also expelled from the Santa Fe neighborhood.

The new boss is a guy named Stone.

In a gray area like theirs, there will never be a shortage of people who are fighting for strength.

While the cadres are professing their allegiance to the Godfather, Todd breaks into the tailor's shop!
He clung to his godfather's ear and whispered a few words.

"Jack the Ripper showed up at my barbershop, unconscious, with a note beside him."

Before Detective Lei fled, he shared the portrait of Jack the Ripper with everyone. Todd remembered it clearly and would not admit it wrong.

But
After disappearing for such a long time, suddenly appearing in the barber shop, the whole thing revealed a strange atmosphere.

Even Todd can see that this is a conspiracy.

However, he couldn't guess what was behind the conspiracy.

After briefly talking about the situation, Todd handed the note to the godfather.

Luden opened the note and took a look, it read,

"A New Year's gift for you."

The handwriting is the handwriting of the queen.

Looking at the words on the note, Luden's expression sank. Not only was he not happy, but he was a little angry.

The Empress knew that Luden never celebrates New Year's Eve, seldom celebrates festivals, and there is no such thing as a New Year's gift.

What's more, the New Year in the divine calendar is essentially the day when Awu 'died'.

For Luden, what is there to celebrate?
The handwriting on the note was well imitated.

But it's a pity that the person who wrote this note didn't know Luden very well.

"Send someone to St. Peter's Sanitarium."

Luden said softly,

"He knows what to do with it."

Todd frowned slightly.

Although Jack the Ripper has committed a heinous crime, is it not the end of the crime?
It fell into the hands of Hannibal.
Ahem, Todd would rather die than fall into the hands of that pervert.

Since it was Mr. Luden's order, Todd turned around and left directly, obeying orders.

After following Mr. Luden, Todd has always done things like this, clean and neat, just like he shaves.

After being disturbed, Lu Deng lost his mood, waved his hand, and signaled for other cadres to leave.

There is no doubt that this note was made by those people from the Church of Knowledge.

If it was just a general provocation, Luden would not be angry.

The other party actually used the name of the queen to deceive himself!
Here in Luden, this matter has reached the bottom line.

As we all know, Luden's bottom line is also very flexible, even if it touches the bottom line, there will be no serious consequences.

Now that Luden knew about it, the Queen would know about it soon, and the Queen would only be angrier than Luden!
The real reason for Luden's anger is simple:
The Church of Knowledge angered the Queen, but asked Luden to clean up the mess!
Luden managed to appease the empress in the past two days, and was blown up again!

Luden will not take this blame!
Luden began to think about what kind of rhetoric to make up or what gifts to give to survive this catastrophe.

As for the Church of Knowledge, Luden didn't think much about it.

He is a law-abiding citizen.

Illegal things cannot be done.

What's more, Luden didn't know who was the Church of Knowledge, and he didn't even have a target for revenge.

Luden didn't know, but the Queen knew.

Unlike Luden, who is harmless to humans and animals, the Queen has always been known for her bloody methods.

At that time, Qiyun played himself to the point of collapse after the technological explosion, and the queen stood up to clean up the mess and monopolize the power, not relying on the Holy Mother and mercy.

While at Qiyun, Loudon legally hanged many people.

The blood stained on his hands can gather into a stream.

And the queen, as his student, is better than blue than blue.

Just leave it to the Queen to take revenge on the Church of Knowledge.

The next day, before Luden woke up, there was a knock on the door of the orphanage.

With excitement and fear, Sir Alex hurried upstairs to share the explosive news with Luden!
"Mr. Luden, something serious happened!"

Even if his heart is as big as his lord's, he can't help trembling when he mentions this matter.
"The former Herald of the Black Scepter was hanged outside the palace last night!"
