Chapter 95

"Wait, new business? Are you going to let me defend others again? I, I am not qualified to practice yet!"

"No, no, no, this time I won't make a rigid requirement. I'm just responsible for introducing the instructions. You can get the specific ideas by yourself."

...

In the corner of "Sholom Alayham", an old Jewish man over 70 years old looked at his grandfather and grandson and said hello.

"Shalom Alayham" and "Shalom Alayham" answered the same.

This is a special greeting within the Jewish people, roughly similar to what everyone originally wanted to say.

But with the gradual Americanization of the new generation of Jews, this tradition no longer needs to be followed by everyone. Only the elderly or rabbi still believe in the tradition that has been around for thousands of years.

"Introduction, this is my grandson, Edward Young, who just helped Sheldon Siegel win that annoying lawsuit."

“This is Rabbi Bernard Bergman.”

"I'm glad to meet you, young Edward" Bergman stretched out his hand.

"Hello" Edward subconsciously reached out his hand, but he always felt that the name sounded very familiar, and he seemed to have heard it somewhere.

"Wait, Bergman, are you that Bergman?" Edward was startled.

The old man opposite was still smiling, but he had a little helplessness. "It's me, Bernard Bergman, the most evil person in New York State, the nursing home tsar, a morally corrupt Jewish madman, and a money launderer who colluded with Italian gangs."

"No, I didn't mean that." Edward was very embarrassed.

After the two shook hands, Bergman smiled and said, "It's okay, maybe I would be angry two years ago, but now I don't have the leisure time. When a person can tell his "crime" calmly, it can only explain two things. Either he is old enough, or he doesn't care about it at all. Obviously I have both. Today, I am here to seek help."

"help?"

"Yes, today is September 16, 1968. I am now in the gap between two sentences. I am still free for the time being. I was just released from the federal prison a few days ago, but soon, I will be held in a state prison. The conditions in the state prison are much worse than the federal prison, and the sentence is longer. I am worried that I will die in it if I can't stand it. I am not afraid of death, but I am afraid of dying in the prison."

"So, I asked for judicial help, but for the reasons you know, no lawyer would help me, none of them."

"But, but I don't have the qualifications to practice..."

"But your performance in Sheldon's case made everyone's eyes shine. Practice qualifications are a small problem and can be easily used." Bergman smiled a little cunningly.

Edward cursed himself as stupid, saying that his opponent was a super old fox, how could he use ordinary methods to make excuses?

"This..." Edward was worried and didn't know how to continue talking.

Bergman and Sheldon are different, although they are both notorious people.

But the latter "just" is used as a bomb. Of course, after some packaging, he became a victim of extreme ideas and was criticized by the anti-Russian righteous man. Although he was pointed at the nose by the media, he really had many fans, especially after Woodstock, so he could barely beautify him.

But the man in front of him used the name of opening a nursing home to make money, abused the elderly, evaded taxes, colluded with gangsters, and robbed them...

In short, the sins that Jews can commit in history can be found in Bergman's list of crimes. This guy is simply a typical example of "Jewish wicked people" in major media.

Bergman himself looks very much in line with the image of Jews in the eyes of Westerners. His deep nasolabial folds and his huge and iconic hooked nose can play the evil and treacherous mastermind in B-level movies without makeup.

This is troublesome. Although Edward knew by instinct that this matter was mostly fueled by the Western ancestral anti-Juda Law, he also saw the news frenzy these days. Anyway, no media in Militaria dared to say good things to Bergman.

"So, do you really think I can do so many bad things by myself?" Bergman could guess Edward's thoughts, and he asked with a wry smile. "If only one-tenth of those accusations are true, I would probably be the greatest and most diligent criminal in history."

Edward was very alert. Since this guy had a good relationship with his grandfather, he was obviously an old fox. Maybe he was an old fox in acting and pretended to be pitiful and dragged himself into the water.

Damn, you must not stroll in the muddy water!

But how to refuse?

Bergman seemed to see his thoughts, "You don't need to rush to agree. Now the Yom Kippur ceremony is over. Why not go to my office to chat and let me show you something or evidence, which you can't see in the media. It's funny. As the defendant, he had the opportunity to defend himself in court, but his mouth was sealed in the media and could only be whipped by the 'freedom of press' without any power to fight back."

"Uh..." Edward was still hesitating.

"I'll go with you, don't be stressed or have too many concerns. You can evaluate yourself, and if you think it's not suitable, don't force it," said Mizrasi Rabbi.

"Okay!" Edward agreed.

Just as Mrs. Josephine came over.

"Mother"

"Ed, what are you doing?"

"I'll go out for a while and I won't come back to sleep at night."

"Oh, OK, be careful."

The three of them didn't rush to go out, but they all ate some biscuit-like snacks first.

After all, two old men in their seventies were hungry for a day and didn't replenish their energy, and then started working non-stop. I was afraid that it would be time to call 911.

Ten minutes later, the three appeared in Bergman's office in the Mid-Manhattan area.

The room was dark and old, and a musty smell came to the nose when you entered the room, and there were other odors that were indescribable, which could not be described, but it gave people the feeling of decay, old and insulting, which made Edward very uncomfortable.

"Sorry, this house is a little older, but I rented it thirty years ago and kept the original decoration. Many people advised me to redecorate it, but I always miss my original life, which reminds me of those very difficult days before."

"Oh, oh, it's okay. The decoration is quite gorgeous." Edward could only say a few polite words.

"Please don't be restrained, sit and watch whatever you want. Everything here is public and real. But unfortunately, you can't see it in the public media." Bergman said, sitting behind the desk, then rang the bell and called the secretary to ask her to serve coffee for the two noble guests.

Mizrasi Rabbi sat at her desk and chatted with Bergman.

Edward took this opportunity to carefully look at the office.

The typical pre-war gilded era style was the best in Miligan. Large-scale industrialization and sufficient industrial population made this new country gradually become the world leader, and the huge dividends of the World War accelerated the economic growth and decline of the new and old worlds. At that time, the United States was vigorous and vibrant, creating huge wealth and wealth.

However, all this came to an abrupt end in 1929.

Even so, the super-rapid development over the past 40 or 50 years has left many marks in the United States, which has made the latecomers envious.

For example, Bergman's office is old and bleak, but it still cannot hide its glory. A layman can easily see that the exquisite teak wall panels, the still bright fireplace tiles, brass windows and door handles, crystal door balls, and vertical floors all show the luxury and abundance of Miligan in the Gilded Age.

But after all, more than half a century has passed, and these hardware has gradually entered the twilight years. Time has left various marks on it. Apart from the exquisite materials, there is nothing that can be praised.

The printed wallpaper is yellowed, and there are even many suspicious dark brown spots on it. It is covered by a large number of certificates, honor certificates, monuments, commemorative silver shields, etc., but it is still protruding its head around the corners, and those coverings form the life trajectory of Bergman from the 1920s to the mid-1960s.

There are also many enlarged photos, which are taken by Bergman and various celebrities, including President Kennedy and Secretary of State Lasco. However, judging from the appearance and clothing of the people in the photos, perhaps this is still a memorial during the post-war period.

The female secretary brought two cups of coffee and then came in with a lot of documents.

"Ed, look at it, you can't see these things outside."

As he said that, he took it out and took out a copy, which was an ordinary letter. "Look, this was written by the son of the old man who lives in my nursing home. Thanks to his father for receiving good care from me."

After saying that, he opened the envelope with his own heart and recited it in a tone full of dramatic tension. His words made people feel stingy. Edward suspected that this should be a masterpiece of a nine-rate playwright.

"This is written by an old man. He expressed his satisfaction with the life of the nursing home. He ate well and did not spend his days huddling in a dark room. In fact, my nursing homes have launched Bible study classes and Judaism classic study classes to meet the spiritual needs of the elderly."

While Bergman's nagging sound Edward showed these evidences, he also began to tell his life experience.

Dr. Bernard Bergman, ancestral home of Segede, Hungary, was poor.

After World War I, he made the biggest and most important decision in his life - and tried his best to come to Miligan.

When he entered the New World, he had nothing to do and could only serve as a rabbi in a small widowed and elderly adoption house. After a little time, the Jews' business talent began to show. He was first promoted from a rabbi to an auxiliary manager and then to a manager. Finally, he simply raised money to buy the adoption house and started to operate the nursing home business.

From then on, he grew bigger and bigger. After more than forty years, he went from a poor boy to one of the most influential Jews in the United States, serving as the chairman and director of a large number of Jewish associations, charitable associations, and educational institutions.

Everyone says, or all media say, his assets are as huge as hundreds of millions of dollars.

"Look at this" Bergman handed over a copy.

The above time was in the early 1964, and was a copy of the Congress record. At a dinner specially held for him, a summary of the praises from celebrities at the conference.

President Linden Johnson "Bergman has made outstanding contributions to public welfare... He is a role model and deserves to be learned and imitated by the whole country."

Zaleman Shazar, then president of Israel, "whenever someone groans in pain, he will help. His heart is filled with Jewish doctrine and humanitarian conscience, so there are his friends all over the world, and there are more than a million people who respect him."

There is also the principal of Sieva Jewish School, "Dr. Bergman has held many important leadership positions in Jewish communities all over the world, and has achieved outstanding achievements and is well known to everyone."

Below is a series of names of senators, representatives, and various state and federal officials.

Without exception, they praised Bergman.

But Edward knew in his heart that this was a trick Bergman was playing.

The Congressional records were true, and the dinner specially held for him was also true, and the congratulations of celebrities were even more fake.

But it does not appear in combination.

This is also one of the common packaging techniques.

Congress and the government have special petition windows. As long as the number of petitioners reaches a certain number, as long as the petition request is not so excessive, it will usually be met.

This is unique to the United States, the "joy with the people" of bureaucrats and administrative agencies.

For example, a flagpole was specially erected next to the Congress Hall to meet the vanity of the "people".

For example, Edward wrote to Congress saying that he wanted to give Chris a flag-raising ceremony, which was more than commending the great and unprecedented achievements that Black Big Man had achieved in self-studying Chinese recipes.

OK.

This requirement can be met, and Congress will reply, asking Edward and Chris to get under the flagpole at the agreed time, and then the natural person will have a solemn flag-raising ceremony for him.

Of course, in order to meet the needs of more American people as much as possible, the Stars and Stripes will be lowered after flying at the top of the flagpole for up to one minute. The staff will also come forward and say politely, "The exit is on the left, please follow me."

All this is free.

If you add another five dollars in labor costs, you can also get a beautiful certificate, which states that on September 19, 1968, the US Congress specially held a flag-raising ceremony for Chris Thomas in the study of Chinese and American food.

This is of course the most basic thing, and Bergman has long disdained to play this set.

His routine is more advanced.

Buy a group of people to petition in Congress, asking Congress to come forward to hold a commendation dinner for the great charity Dr. Rabbi Bernard Bergman.

There are special institutions on Capitol Hill responsible for high-end political and business activities such as dinners and tea parties. Of course, the fees are not cheap and the qualification review is required. As for qualifications, it is not difficult. There are enough charitable donations. Of course, it would be even better if it is a political charitable donation, such as donating money in the President's hometown to establish a public nursing home named after the President's mother.

A certain government office under the Congress began to handle the invitations and the on-site arrangements were all made in special formats and routines, ensuring that the Congress had a strong atmosphere.

Then these celebrities make speeches in advance, and usually you can receive congratulatory letters from the politician secretary by giving some political donations.
