Chapter 031: Death of Kindness

Go back in time.

Just when Bai Zhu and Ling Yunkai and the others had just infiltrated the American merchant ships, Lord Admiral also came to the vicinity with his men.

"My lord, are we really going to check the merchant ships of the Americans?"

The staff said with some concern: "In case Liang Kuan deceives you, we will have a bad relationship with the foreigners." ”

"I've thought about this layer as well. ”

While observing the situation of the merchant ships with a telescope, Lord Admiral replied, "But Liang Kuan still wants me to release Huang Feihong after all, and it is unlikely that he will deceive me." ”

"That being the case, I'm relieved. ”

The staff nodded, and then asked, "Can Liang Kuan succeed?"

According to their and Liang Kuan's plan, Liang Kuan first disguised himself as a gold digger to infiltrate the ships, and then instigated the imprisoned Chinese to resist and escape from the merchant ships.

At that time, the admiral appeared unexpectedly and made decisions for those Chinese workers, so that the human and material evidence was there, and the foreigners could not deny it.

"I don't know. ”

The Admiral lowered his binoculars and shook his head, "I hope he succeeds." ”

Although he always behaved very cowardly in the face of foreigners, when he learned that the Americans actually smuggled Chinese laborers to the United States to work as coolies, he also hid a sense of anger in his heart.

......

They didn't wait long, and soon a commotion came from the merchant ships.

"Your Excellency?"

The staff glanced at the Admiral.

"Let's go!"

The Admiral hesitated slightly, but still waved his hand and said, "Hold up the plaque of this official!"

"Yes!"

Hearing this, the officials behind him immediately raised the plaque in their hands, sounded the gong and opened the way, and headed for the American merchant ship.

When he approached the merchant ship, he heard a loud commotion on board, interspersed with occasional gunshots.

"It seems that Liang Kuan has succeeded. ”

He was secretly happy in his heart.

"Stop!"

Seeing the Admiral and his party approaching the merchant ship, the guards immediately spoke.

"Please inform Mr. Jishan that I have received a report today that someone is hiding criminals in a merchant ship. ”

The Admiral did not dare to say anything about searching the ships, and made an excuse at random.

Hearing the Admiral's words, the guards hesitated.

If it was usual, he would naturally have reported to Ji Shan a long time ago, but at this moment, the commotion on the ship had already made them unsettled, and they didn't dare to leave their posts easily.

It was at this moment that a loud bang suddenly came from behind the hull.

"It's not good, it's an ammunition depot!"

The soldiers looked at each other, and they all saw horror in each other's eyes.

Baizhu doesn't know where he blew up, but as a crew member, how can these soldiers not know?

Thinking of the bombing of the ammunition depot, the soldiers were all in a hurry, ignoring the admiral, and ran backwards with their guns in hand.

Lord Admiral was also a little dazed, looking at the puff of black smoke coming out of the ship, he blinked, and some couldn't react.

The staff hurried to his ear and said, "My lord, it looks like Liang Kuan and they blew up the Americans' ammunition depot." ”

Only then did the Admiral come back to his senses, looking at the empty sentry post, his eyes froze, and he said, "Let's go, follow this officer on the boat!"

"Yes!"

The soldiers responded in unison.

When they arrived on the ship, the Admiral found that it was already a mess.

Whether it is Chinese or foreigner, all of them are running around like headless flies, and some Chinese workers even fight with foreigners.

Seeing the appearance of the admiral in official uniform, some Chinese workers suddenly seemed to have found the backbone of the main body, and they all knelt down in front of the admiral.

"My lord, you have to call the shots for the villain!"

"Yes, my lord, these foreigners want to sell us to the United States to work as coolies. ”

"You're going to call the shots for us!"

Looking at these disheveled and disheveled Chinese who kept kowtowing to themselves, the heart that the Admiral had been carrying finally relaxed.

With the testimony of these people, his merits cannot be run.

"Folks, please get up quickly, if you have anything to do, just tell this official, I will be the master for you. ”

The Admiral said to the crowd with a smile on his face.

"Lord Admiral!"

At this moment, a somewhat disgraced Ji Shan walked over from the side, looked at the Admiral and said coldly, "I don't remember that I invited you over." ”

"Mr. Jishan, I have something to ask you as well. ”

The Admiral pointed to the crowd still kneeling on the ground and asked, "Why do they say you Americans are going to sell them to America?"

"This ......"

Ji Shan was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't come up with an excuse for a while.

Seeing that Ji Shan couldn't answer, the Admiral clenched his fists and said, "Mr. Ji Shan, I will truthfully report this matter to the imperial court and the ambassador of your country...... Today you seem to be a little inconvenient, I hope that Mr. Jishan can go to the Yamen tomorrow, I have something to ask you. ”

"You have something to ask me?"

Hearing the Admiral's words, Ji Shan suddenly sneered.

These days, he first lost the gold he had accumulated for several years without explanation, then the Chinese laborers who were imprisoned in the cabin suddenly escaped for some reason, and then the ammunition depot exploded......

This incident had already put his mind on the verge of madness, and when he heard that the Admiral wanted to let him be interrogated, he suddenly exploded.

"Who do you think you are, even your Queen Mother Lafayette is not qualified to interrogate me!"

Ji Shan pointed to the Admiral's nose and said, "Now, you get off the boat for me immediately!"

Hearing that Ji Shan dared to be disrespectful to the Queen Mother, Lord Admiral's face also turned cold: "Mr. Ji Shan, I warn you, your current behavior is enough for me to have a good reason to arrest you!"

"Catch me?"

Ji Shan seemed to have heard some big joke, and after laughing wildly, he suddenly waved his hand: "Raise your gun!"

Following his order, the guards behind him immediately aimed all their guns at the Admiral and his party.

"You...... What do you want to do?"

Being pointed at the muzzle of the gun, the Admiral's cold sweat suddenly flowed.

"What do I want to do?"

Ji Shan's eyes flashed with madness, "Aren't you trying to arrest me? Okay, according to the provisions of international law, this is our American merchant ship, and the ship is equivalent to our territory - and you, without my permission, are stepping on our American soil - I have every reason to think that you are invading our country!"

"What?"

Hearing Ji Shan's quibbles, the Admiral was shocked and angry, he never thought that Ji Shan would be so shameless.

"Huh!"

Looking at Lord Admiral's angry expression, Ji Shan's heart was much happier, and he said, "Then, Lord Admiral, let your subordinates put down all their weapons, otherwise, I don't mind killing you all." ”

"You ......"

Lord Admiral pointed at Jishan and was speechless, he never expected things to develop to this point.

He thought that he had caught the evidence of the other party's smuggling, and even if the other party would not admit his mistake, he would not dare to do anything to himself.

Unexpectedly, Ji Shan didn't want to talk to himself about the law at all, but directly talked about force.

Seeing the hesitant look on Lord Admiral's face, Ji Shan sneered and asked, "What, does Lord Admiral want to start a war with us?"

Hearing this, Lord Admiral's face changed suddenly, and the shame in his eyes gradually turned into helplessness, and he raised his hand to order everyone to lay down their weapons.

At this moment, a sudden cry came from nowhere-

"Oh no, it's the British, the British have come to attack us!"

Immediately after, several gunshots rang out.

"What!"

Hearing this voice, Ji Shan's face changed greatly, and he turned his head to determine the situation.

However, before he could see clearly, he felt a sudden heat in his chest, and when he looked down, he saw that his left side of the chest was pierced by a gun.

"I ......"

Looking at the bubbling blood, Ji Shan subconsciously wanted to cover it, but before he could raise his arm, he felt his body go soft, and the whole person fell to the ground.

Just before he could lose consciousness, he heard a voice shouting again, "Oh no, Captain Johnson was killed by the British!"

"No, no, it wasn't the British who killed me. ”

Perhaps because he was on the verge of death, Ji Shan's brain was extremely clear at this time, and he could hear that this voice was the same voice that shouted for the British to sneak attack just now.

And, judging by the wound in his chest, it looks like it was caused by his own revolver.

"It's him, he's stolen my gold bars, he's stolen my pistol, and now he's going to blame the British for everything. ”

His lips opened and closed, trying to tell the soldier next to him the message, but he found that he couldn't make any sound at all, and he only felt his eyelids grow heavier, and eventually, everything went dark.
