Volume VIII 1397 The plot is reversed

Next chapter

Consuls, counselors, military attachés, and countless merchants and adventurers from various countries working and living in the concession rushed out of their bungalows and large hotels and poured into the streets to watch the arrival of this uninvited guest.

The sudden appearance of the Zhiyuan caught everyone by surprise, and Xiao Letian didn't even have a normal diplomatic note, so he drove the Zhiyuan into the Yangtze River and looked at Wusongkou.

The Goddess of Victory and the Lord were on a routine sea patrol, but as soon as they left Chongming Island, they encountered such a big guy, and the British and French soldiers of the mighty Zhiyuan were shocked in a cold sweat, and they knew that with the body of this big guy, they could smash their wooden boats just by colliding.

Originally, I wanted to protest against the Zhiyuan's behavior of entering the concession without notice, but Westerners are typical of knowing the size of their fists and not being reasonable. Seeing the unruly appearance of the Zhiyuan, the two battleships couldn't talk nonsense, and actually turned around and became the pilot ship for the Zhiyuan.

From this point, you can also see the chicken thieves of the foreigners, they can claim to be navigating the waterway of the Zhiyuan, but when they go back to their consul, they can claim to be monitoring the Zhiyuan, and they can please both sides, and they can pretend to be people inside and outside.

Of course, Xiao Letian can see through this careful thinking, and he doesn't break it, just standing on the high bridge platform in a military uniform, inspecting the beautiful scenery on both sides of the Huangpu River.

"Report to the Prime Minister! The British and French consuls have sent a letter of consultation, asking when the Prime Minister will come ashore, and they will hold a banquet at the consulate!" Xiang Ying did not dare to slack off when he received the news from the shore, and hurriedly came over to ask for instructions.

smiled, Xiao Lotian smiled, "Hahaha...... Xiang Ying, have you seen it? This is the law that Westerners believe in, fearing power but not virtue, no matter how good you are to them, how respectful you are to them, it is useless, you might as well use a cannon to put it on his head! Look, isn't this polite?"

"Send the order down, close the Internet bar! Send out the news that I have come to Jiangnan, and tell the people of Jiangnan the truth, when will Nanpiao settle down, when will I go ashore again! Start with Shanghai......

The whole Shanghai beach has gone crazy, and the Shanghai county government has not known when so many helpers have been found, and they are banging gongs all over the city to announce this amazing news, and countless small workers are carrying paste buckets and posting notices all over the street.

The common people were dumbfounded, they listened to the sound of broken gongs, looked at the words on the proclamation, and rubbed their eyes over and over again: "How is this possible? The Rakshasa ghost lost? And the whole army was wiped out? Didn't you just say that the prime minister's gold was all robbed?"

Boom Boom Boom ...... Just when people were incredible, suddenly three cannon shots rang out in the direction of the Huangpu River.

4000

?? The frightened hula dispersed.

"Oh, it's terrible, didn't you start a fight with foreigners? The prime minister bombarded the concession!"

"Don't run, it's a mess! That's a salute, foreigners' understanding, meet and go to the door to fire first, that's called diplomatic etiquette......

The common people don't understand what this etiquette is all about, so do they take the cannon and welcome the people? But think about it, since the prime minister dared to fire a cannon on the Huangpu River, the foreigners still did not dare to protest, what does this mean? It shows that the prime minister really won!

Thinking of this, hundreds of people patted their thighs and shouted, "I've been deceived, I've been deceived, this group of deflated people have deceived Alah's Nan Ticket! Kill a thousand knives......"

This time, everyone's intestines are repentant, they rush to those gambling stalls like crazy, they want to exchange their paper money, even if the other party is the big brother of the gang, they are not afraid.

Isn't this a dream, and after the people poured over, they found that the originally prosperous gambling stalls that had even stepped on the bluestone at the door had already been empty, and the ground was clean and there was not even a piece of paper left.

The frightened and angry people picked up sticks and smashed the furniture in the gambling stalls, and countless old ladies sat on the ground and cried.

There were more and more notices on the streets, and the government soon issued the latest decree, and in 1869, the summer and autumn of the eighth year of Tongzhi collected the southern bills, and the tax was paid with the southern bills to give a discount of five thousandths.

This will make Jiangnan's telegraph network no longer malfunction, and the gang disciples who jumped up and down have disappeared without a trace, and the news of the prime minister's great victory instantly spread all over Jiangnan.

In Suzhou City, the bankrupt Boss Wang locked himself at home for three days and three nights, although the willow bug saved his life and made him give up the idea of seeking death, but he still had to live his life.

Holding tens of thousands of waste paper in his hand, the Qinglong boss also offended himself, after being beaten by the Qinglong boss, he didn't dare to go to the gambling stall, how could the ordinary people afford to provoke those big brothers.

He could only pinch the silver dollar given by the willow bug and look at the waste paper that gave him a headache, and sat at home and sighed, no matter how he put it up, he couldn't think of a way out in the future.

"What is enough for such a small amount of money? I might as well die......" As soon as Grumble said a word, his son, who looked at him at the door, put down his book and began to cry.

"Dad, don't think about it, my mother said that after this time, go back to grandma's house to see if you can disassemble a little, there is no hurdle that you can't get over!"

In the past few days, Lao Wang has not lived a human life, he is locked in the house, his son is guarding day and night to prevent suicide, and his wife shows up to take care of the house and outside the house, and he is busy with just one day of eating and drinking.

"I'm incompetent! I'm a waste!" Boss Wang cried.

Some people cry and some people laugh, more than ten meters away from Brother Wang's house is the home of the widow A Qing's sister-in-law, A Qing's sister-in-law relies on a brewery left by a dead man to maintain her daughter's life, and the shrewd woman has not only not failed her life over the years, but has gotten better and better.

However, Qing's sister-in-law's reputation has not been very good, she loves to chew her tongue, she is angry and laughing, and I heard that the relationship between men and women is also very messy, although the Wang family is a neighbor with her, she has always had a general relationship.

The sister-in-law of the Wang family was carrying green vegetables and a little noodles, and was twisting her little feet to go home with difficulty, and just turned the alley mouth and smelled a strong fragrance, and looked up to see that it was Qing's sister-in-law who walked over.

"Oops...... Isn't this the sister-in-law of the Wang family, I haven't seen you for a few days, why have you lost weight? What are you doing? Selling vegetables? Tut-tut, why do you eat so lightly, your family still has a future Xiucai, so you can cut some meat to make up for Xiucai's body!"

This kind of woman is very annoying, she likes to expose other people's shortcomings, she can die of anger when she sees others have a good life, and he can laugh to death when others suffer.
