Lost and Spy

Chapter 109 Black Servant Arau
Riding a horse is a very boring thing for some people.

Especially for people who don't know how to ride a horse at all.

For example, Master Meng.

I can completely imagine sitting on a chair, drinking coffee that I don’t like very much, eating small round biscuits that taste good, and then watching others run around on horseback, that is What kind of feeling?
The bored Meng Shaoyuan looked at it, and there were only eight biscuits on the plate.

That's right, it's eight yuan.

There were two very small cakes on another plate, but judging from the color, it didn't seem particularly fresh.

The cup of coffee was almost drained, and the black man next to him didn't intend to refill Meng Shaoyuan's cup.

The black man should be the servant of the police chief Daniel. He is very thin, his pants don't fit very well, and he is fat and big.

And if you look closely, you can find that there is a patch on the right sleeve.

Meng Shaoyuan tried to talk to him, but it was a pity that the black man had received some kind of warning. No matter what Meng Shaoyuan asked, his answer was the same:
"Yes, sir." "I don't know, sir." "Excuse me, sir."

Well, I should have received some kind of warning, don't talk nonsense.

Over there, Daniel and Cai Xuefei ran a few laps, got off their horses, and walked over talking with each other.

Meng Shaoyuan stood up.

In Cai Xuefei's introduction, he is Mrs. Qiangwei's "cousin" who just came to Shanghai.

The clothes Daniel was wearing were definitely not new. On the left side of his clothes, there was a piece of oil stain that was difficult to clean thoroughly, but could not be seen without careful inspection.

A pair of riding boots, the front has been worn out, although it has been carefully wiped and polished, it still cannot be covered.

Daniel didn't realize it.

Now, Meng Shaoyuan can basically judge the character of Daniel:
Powerful and rich, the position of Chief of Police in the International Settlement brings him amazing rewards every year, not to mention that he has stayed in this position for three years?
He is a mean man.

If it is said that the servant's clothes are not decent, it can also be said that he doesn't take the servant seriously at all, then he himself dressed like this...

Judging from his great hospitality to Mrs. Qiangwei, he definitely took a fancy to Cai Xuefei and tried his best to please her there, wanting to kiss Fangze.

The problem is, you dress yourself like this, not to mention meeting the person you like, even some snacks are so reluctant?
A stingy person, who looks like a shrewd person, is actually very easy to deal with.

Being stingy is the biggest weakness of this person!

"Have a cup of coffee, ma'am." Daniel seemed to have never seen Meng Shaoyuan, and politely invited Cai Xuefei to sit down.

It's a pity that Cai Xuefei doesn't seem to be interested in the coffee and snacks here.

If it wasn't for Meng Shaoyuan, she wouldn't even accept the invitation at all.

"My younger brother just came back from the United States." Cai Xuefei said with a smile, "He is planning to develop in Shanghai. In the future, Mr. Director will need to take care of him."

Daniel had no interest in Meng Shaoyuan at all, so he said "Oh" and asked perfunctorily, "Which line does Charles study?"

Before Cai Xuefei had time to answer, "Charles Meng" Meng Shaoyuan had already said: "News."

"That's a promising career."

"Charles has always been an excellent reporter." Cai Xuefei continued Meng Shaoyuan's lie and said, "He is temporarily doing an internship at the 'Hua Shang Bao'. You know, the investor of the Hua Shang Bao is my father-in-law's friend."

There are too many large and small newspapers in Shanghai, and some of them are editor-in-chief, reporter and typesetting, mainly relying on fringe news and random fabrications to make a living.

A certain boss married a beautiful girl and died within a few months. It turned out that the girl was transformed into a fox spirit, who specialized in sucking the essence of men.

What's more, even this is avoided, relying on the title of "reporter", bluffing and deceiving in Shanghai Bund, living a good life.

So although Daniel had never heard of "Hua Shang Bao", he didn't take it seriously at all.

He casually chatted with Meng Shaoyuan for a few words, and then quickly shifted the conversation to Cai Xuefei again.

Meng Shaoyuan's current situation is somewhat embarrassing.

So he found an excuse to smoke and slipped off to a faraway place.

Smoked a cigarette there just in time to see the black man coming.

He had come to use the toilet, and although there was a toilet at the racecourse, it was for white people and dignitaries.

Black people must go to the "special" toilet for black people.

Meng Shaoyuan waited until the black man came out: "Hey."

"Good morning, sir. Please, sir."

Meng Shaoyuan took out five pounds: "From now on, you can answer whatever I ask you, and then the five pounds will be yours."

A fiery light flashed in the eyes of the black man, and even his tone became a little hasty: "What do you want to ask, sir."

Five pounds is a lot, and a master who treats his servants so miserably...

"What's your name."

"Alao, my name is Alao."

"Arau? The name is quite interesting. How long have you been with Mr. Daniel?"

"I have been in his house since I was a child, and my parents both worked in Mr. Boycott's house. When Mr. Daniel came to Shanghai, the Boycott family appointed me to come to Shanghai with him. Ah, the Boycott family lives In London's…”

Driven by money, Aarau told many things about Mr. Daniel Boycott.

Money can't buy loyalty, but money can buy betrayal.

"very good."

Satisfied, Meng Shaoyuan gave the five pounds to Alao.

Alao took it, looked at it over and over, and put it away carefully.

The judgment is completely accurate.

Not only Daniel, but the entire Boycott family is stingy.

Although slavery has long been abolished in Europe and the United States, this phenomenon still exists in both the United States and the United Kingdom.

Some black families have served the same family for generations.

You say to them: "Rise up and fight for your freedom. There are no slaves in this world. Abandon your so-called masters and leave these abominable slave masters."

So it is guaranteed that these black people will look at you with strange eyes, as if they are looking at a crazy person, get out of here?free?What can I do when I am free?What will I do again?
Especially in Britain, where the aristocratic system is hierarchical, being able to serve an aristocratic family, such as Sir XX, will be regarded as an honor by many people.

That was the case with the Daniels.The Boycott family are serious knights.

Meng Shaoyuan took out another piece of money, this time it was a ten-pound note: "Look, Aarau, I like you very much. Now, tell me some other interesting stories, those unknown stories of Mr. Daniel, The money is yours too."

Alao was shocked, and his eyes were fixed on the ten pounds:

"I can tell you whatever you need to know!"
