Just as Luo Bencheng was enjoying all kinds of Shanghai snacks, Xiaolin returned. As soon as he entered the courtyard, a servant came to report that Luo Bencheng had come to him at night, and was waiting in the hall at this moment.

"This foreigner, what's the matter with finding yourself so late? It can't be that there is a problem with the dock! ”

Kobayashi felt bad and hurriedly walked towards the hall.

"Scared! This Luo Bencheng was enjoying a large table of fresh pastries in the room, and he didn't see anything important to find him. ”

"Mr. Luo Bencheng."

When Xiao Lin saw him, he took off his hat and bent down to say hello, although it was in his own home, Xiao Lin was still very polite to foreigners. They care about this the most, and if the etiquette is done, Tie Ming will not reject you so much.

"Hello!"

This Luo Bencheng rarely said a word of Chinese.

The old servant looked at him with a look of surprise on the side, this foreigner can speak Chinese, why can't he say it when he asked him just now?

Xiao Lin's eyes were a little unpleasant. The lights in the house are also a little dim. He didn't see the injury on Luo Bencheng's face for a while, and thought it was from eating a snack.

“Why you went to my home this time ?”

Xiao Lin sat on the sofa diagonally opposite Luo Bencheng, crossed Erlang's legs, and spread out the green cloth gown, only then did he see the bruises on his face.

“What’s the matter with your face?”

Xiao Lin threw out two questions to Luo Bencheng with a face. Luo Bencheng didn't know how to answer that first, so he pointed to his bruised cheeks and said:

“For this.”

Kobayashi gave a look of surprise. What the? He was beaten, did he have to come to him in the middle of the night? Who beat him up? Did he provoke others, or did they rob him or what...... All of this has nothing to do with him, why did he come to him and wipe his ass himself?

Xiao Lin was not a kind-hearted person, and when he saw the injury on Luo Bencheng's face, he already roughly understood that he might have been beaten by his eldest brother, in order to teach him a lesson about the foreigner who "opened his mouth widely".

"That's not about me! I just told him to mess up the order of the dock, and didn't let him profit from it, he found some broken machine and forced it to the eldest brother, and I didn't know it, and now I deserve to be beaten. ”

“Who beat you?”

Luo Bencheng stretched out his hand and shrugged his shoulders, looking unaware.

"This fool was beaten, and I don't know who beat him, hehe."

Xiao Lin curled the corners of his mouth and wanted to laugh, but he still held back and said:

“If you don't know who beat you, how can I help you?”

Xiao Lin also followed Luo Bencheng's example, stretched out his hands, shrugged his shoulders, and pretended not to know.

Luo Bencheng saw his intention not to help him find the perpetrator, and his calm expression just now immediately seemed to explode, like a drop of cold water dripping into a pot of hot oil, and the "crackling" exploded like a cannonball.

“I only know you in Shanghai. Please help me find these guys。 ”

Xiao Lin shook his head and said:

“I'm not a policeman. Where can I help you find these guys？ ”

Luo Bencheng was enraged, although he didn't know who the person who beat him was, he knew one thing clearly, that this must be related to the Lin family. It must have been Lin's anger that he had set the price of the machine so high, so he asked the thugs to beat him.

So who is he doing all this for? Who caused me to be smitten? The reason is in front of me, it's you - Xiaolin, I did something for you, and I was beaten, shouldn't you help me out? Do you want to help your own people?

“Are you really indifferent to my miserable situation?”

Luo Bencheng jumped up, pointed at Xiao Lin's nose and shouted loudly.

"What are you doing, sit down!"

When the old servant saw him angrily pointing at his master, he thought he was going to beat him, so he hurriedly stopped him, and called the young male servant to scare him.

Xiao Lin was indifferent to all this, his goal had been achieved, the dock had been disrupted, as for Luo Bencheng being beaten, it was his own business, who told him to sell the machine to the Lin family without consulting him?

“You pigs.”

Luo Bencheng scolded angrily, glancing at all the servants present.

Xiao Lin made a gesture to send off the guest, and the old maid agreed, and he was going to send Luo Bencheng out.

Luo Bencheng didn't have to send it, he left by himself.

The cold wind blew through in the middle of the night, and "whir-hu-" was like a knife scraped in the face.

Luo Bencheng came out of the warm hall, and as soon as he stepped into the cold and windy alley, he shuddered, couldn't help but hug his shoulders, looked back at Xiaolin's room, and gritted his teeth in anger.

There are no pedestrians on the road, and occasionally a few stray cats can be seen running out of the alley, slipping away like a ghost, adding a bit of weirdness to the already dark alley.

It was almost dawn, Luo Bencheng looked up at the eastern sky, and suddenly thought of a place, he took a big step and ran quickly towards that destination.

What is it? In Shanghai, the only place that can protect him is the consulate.

Hurry up there, show your compatriots this miserable face, tell them what happened to you, and let them stand up for yourself.

Luo Bencheng thought that the consulate was several streets away from here, and it would take at least an hour to walk there like this. What to do? Call a rickshaw.

As soon as he touched the pocket of his jacket, Luo Bencheng found that his wallet had already been snatched away by those little thugs, how could this be good, did he really have to walk over step by step? Against the bitter cold wind?

Luo Bencheng was unwilling, and glanced back at Xiao Lin's house, wanting to go back and ask Xiao Lin for the car money, but after thinking about it, he had rejected himself just now, and if he went again, he would definitely not gain anything.

Luo Bencheng touched the pockets of his shirt and pants again, and he was so lucky that he found a few oceans in the trouser belt.

In his hand, he held the few oceans he had. Luo Bencheng walked to the main road, stopped a rickshaw, and hurried to the consulate.

When he arrived at the consulate, there was no door inside.

Poor Luo Bencheng kept vigil outside the house for several hours, and when he reached the gate of the consulate, he was already frozen.

When the police saw that it was their own people, they quickly found a few people to carry him into the house.

After drinking a few cups of hot tea, Luo Bencheng slowly eased up and added fuel to his experience, saying that Xiao Lin was a devil and that Lin was a devil's house.

After listening to his statement, the consul was shocked that the Chinese would be so hateful that they dared to bully our own people.

Seeing the consul's reaction, Luo Bencheng was very relieved that he had finally found his own people, and finally someone was willing to make decisions for himself.

In the consulate, Luo Bencheng once again enjoyed delicious snacks and breakfast, and he was like the son of a landlord, waiting at the rich father's house to see how his father taught his bullies a lesson.

When he had finished his breakfast, the consul called in a lawyer, a commercial secretary, and a police officer to discuss with him what to do with the matter. The consul meant to take the opportunity to knock them out, which could be regarded as compensation for injuring Luo Bencheng.

Luo Bencheng nodded in agreement.

However, the lawyer felt that this was inappropriate, after all, it was not possible to confirm that the person who beat people was sent by the Lin family, and if he directly used this to blackmail them, it would be counterproductive.

The secretary proposed to let the police investigate the matter thoroughly, arrest the thugs, and let them identify with the Lin family in court, so that they would not be afraid that the Lin family would repay the debt.

The consul asked Luo Bencheng if he could provide any clues and if he still remembered the appearance of those gangsters.

“No. It's too dark. I can't see anything. I just remember that they are the three . They are not tall or old. Speaking Chinese, I can't understand them.”

The consul frowned, he didn't see it clearly, he didn't remember, he couldn't provide any clues, so how could he find someone?

“Catch all the little gangsters wandering in the streets of Shanghai. Ask one by one, and you will find out who hit them。 ”

The police chief proposed that as if he was sure that he would be able to find the three of them, he would pat his chest and promise that when things couldn't be done, he would pat his ass and leave.

The consul did not believe that he could find the three men, and said:

“There are so many gangsters in Shanghai, can you guarantee to catch them all？”

The policeman nodded affirmatively, Luo Bencheng looked at him with a grateful face, thinking that it was better to be from his own country, so he stretched out his hand to shake the policeman's hand. The consul smiled on the side:

“Those punks are not waiting for you to catch them. If they change into clean clothes and walk on the street, can you recognize them？ ”

The policeman was questioned by the consul and did not know how to answer.

Luo Bencheng frowned, his head hurt for a while, so could he only be beaten in vain? So what am I working so hard to do here?

“Consul, please help me. Even if you can't find those little thugs, please help me to ask for a medical fee。 ”

Luo Bencheng's original purpose was to extort a sum of money from the Lin family by selling the machine, and he didn't want to be beaten by the Lin family, and he was kicked away by Xiao Lin. This time he had learned to share the money with his own people, so that they could help him ask for more money.

“Consul, I'd like to give you half of the money I got from selling the machine. Thank you for your kindness。 ”

When the consul heard this, his eyes lit up, he was quite sensible, and he knew that he had worked hard to help him, and he would give me half of the money. But where is half enough?

“It's our duty to help you. We won't ask you to spend money。 ”

Luo Bencheng was very moved after hearing this. This is really God, who knows that the next sentence of the consul is:

“You can give money to the merciful God, to the church, to those who suffer。”

At that time, churches were controlled by consuls, and some were completely dependent on the support of consulates. The church was funded by the Chinese boss, and the first thing it did was not to give kindness to the low-level people in China, but to give filial piety to the consulate.

The church has become a tool for foreigners to make money in China, a station.

Luo Bencheng also heard a little about this, after all, he often went in and out of the church, and he would always hear some wind and grass, and he didn't believe it. Because the churches in my own country are all serious churches, and I do things in a proper manner, how can I change my taste when I get to the land of another country?

Now that the consul said in front of himself that he could donate the money to the church, Luo Bencheng confirmed his conjecture, and he began to waver whether to find the help of the consulate to blackmail the Lin family, for fear that in the end, he would marry others for nothing and get nothing.
