Isabella simply told Chen Mu everything about her original situation, and Chen Mu was also surprised to hear such inside information.

It's no wonder Isabella came to Hong Kong, but she didn't expect to contact the British and make a big deal!

According to their agreement, the French first proposed to the Qing court that they would retreat to the south bank of Canton and the coastal areas as compensation for the invasion of the city, but they would need to obtain authorization to build coal stacks on the south bank and along the coast.

This seems to be a concession, but in fact it is still a profit, because the role of the coal stack is undoubted.

Because of the French infestation, the people were angry, which led to the assassination of Duanfang, and the local government was under great pressure.

In order to alleviate this pressure, the Qing court could only agree to this agreement, and on the surface, the French retreated to the coastal areas, which was also a kind of "victory", but the French would build a coal stack, and the news was suppressed.

Isabella came to Hong Kong to seek the support of the English, who spoke out in Beijing, and the court agreed to the French's proposal.

At this time, the two sides who were embarrassed finally showed their fox tails.

After the agreement of the French was signed, the English proposed to the imperial court the "Special Treaty on the Expansion of the Boundary of Hong Kong"!

The meaning of this agreement is simple.

Since you have agreed to let the French build coal stacks, you cannot favor one over the other, the English want to lease Kowloon and the New Territories, and if you don't, you will be contemptuous of the English!

At this time, the French minister stood up to speak to the English again, and the Japanese continued to invade the Shandong Peninsula, and the imperial court was already anxious, and I was afraid that it would not be able to hold on.

"What's more, the English proposed that if they agreed to this agreement, the sheriffs would arrest all the revolutionaries and escort them to the Qing government!"

Chen Mu finally understood, no wonder the British changed their posture, not only would they not shelter, but they were afraid that they would hunt down the revolutionaries on a large scale!

Since the death of Shudong, Chen Mu's mentality has also changed, how can he sit idly by!

If you use counterfeit money as a bargaining chip, you should be able to let Isabella shelter the guys, but it is too risky.

After thinking about it, Chen Mu could only suppress this idea.

However, Isabella also thought of this, and immediately proposed to Chen Mu: "If you are willing to exchange counterfeit money, I may be able to help you." ”

Chen Mu knows very well that the French have experienced this blow, and now they need to build a coal stack, which requires great financial resources, and if the economy is hit by counterfeit banknotes again, I am afraid that it will completely collapse.

So there is no need to mention how important this batch of counterfeit banknotes is to them.

Although the temptation is great, Chen Mu can no longer trust these foreigners, let alone entrust the lives of his guys to the hands of the enemy!

Chen Mu hesitated, and Isabella also sighed lightly: "If you change your mind, you are always welcome here." ”

This is already an eviction order, and Chen Mu didn't stay, he turned around and was about to leave.

After only two steps, Isabella spoke again: "If you touch me next time, I will not hesitate to kill you!" ”

Chen Mu turned his head and wiped his lips, as if he was reminiscing about something, so angry that Isabella's chest kept rising and falling, but she could only watch Chen Mu leave.

After returning to the manor, Chen Mu talked about the reason, and everyone was also indignant, indignant to the extreme, and strengthened their determination to revolutionize!

However, the current predicament had to be solved, and Chen Mu also had a headache, so he could only rely on the manor.

Although the manor was large, after five or six days, they all walked around, and old Henry also "did what he said" and began to chase away customers.

Chen Mu knew that Old Henry was extremely principled, and if he wanted to keep this shallow friendship, it was best to leave.

What's more, the guys are no longer willing to stay, but now the situation in the city is rapidly deteriorating, and the British secret police have begun a carpet search!

Seeing that they were going to move out tomorrow, everyone was also a little uneasy.

Chen Mu is also thinking of a way these days, but this Hong Kong is not a big deal, and now that the British have imposed martial law, they can't go out, trapped in it, and can't get out.

Looking at this group of brothers, Chen Mu suddenly had a thought.

In fact, he had noticed it earlier, but Yang Zhaochun didn't mention it, and Chen Mu didn't take the initiative to ask, but he couldn't care about it now.

"Where are Wang Julou and Li Sanjiang?"

After the incident in Guangzhou City, Wang Julou's three points will suffer the biggest loss, and now he is not by Yang Zhaochun's side, so Chen Mu speculated that there was probably some misunderstanding between them, so they didn't ask for a long time, saving everyone from being depressed.

Sure enough, Yang Zhaochun hesitated and didn't speak, but Du Xingwu opened his mouth to answer.

"They have broken away from the team and entered Kowloon City."

"Kowloon City?"

"Yes."

"What is that place?" Du Xingwu looked at Yang Zhaochun, and only shook his head at Chen Mu.

Chen Mu had no choice but to look at Yang Zhaochun again, and the latter finally spoke.

"Kowloon City is also called Kowloon Walled City, it is a besieged city in Kowloon, although the place is not big, but it is very chaotic, three religions and nine streams, mountain foxes and rats, black smoke and miasma......"

Although Yang Zhaochun has rarely brought it, Chen Mu can feel that Yang Zhaochun does not like this place very much, and even has some disdain.

Yang Zhaochun was reluctant to continue to speak, so Sun Youlin had no choice but to stand up.

"Li Ye mentioned it to me earlier, and asked us if we should go in together, and I ...... I still refused......"

"After Hong Kong was occupied by the British ghosts, life was not easy, these ghosts were all black-hearted, the taxes levied were heavy, and the ordinary people were oppressed like slaves."

"In such a situation, many people seek refuge in the Three-Point Society, and among the ten Hong Kong men, it is estimated that two are the guys of the Three-Point Society......"

"And in the Kowloon Walled City, nine out of ten are brothers and men in the community, which can be said to be the base camp of the Three Points Society!"

"Because the ghosts didn't dare to enter the walled city to collect taxes, many people poured into the walled city, although it was only a small besieged city, but tens of thousands of people lived in it!"

Chen Mu didn't expect that Hong Kong, which was under the jurisdiction of the British, would have such an "extralegal place"!

"In other words, as long as we enter the walled city, the British will not dare to go in and arrest them?"

Although everyone is not very optimistic about this place, what Chen Mu said is also what everyone has thought about, as for why they didn't go in earlier, I am afraid that it is also related to Wang Julou and others.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Chen Mu also took the initiative to speak.

"Everyone is a brother and buddy, if there is a misunderstanding, we must solve it face to face, everyone's safety is important, if you can't even protect yourself, how can you do big things in the future?"

"You wait for me here, I'll go find Wang Julou and Li Sanjiang."

Chen Mu couldn't help but say that when he called Old Willy, he was going to the Kowloon Walled City, but Old Willy hesitated.

When the British entered the walled city, they were afraid that there would not be a single bone left, and how could he, the old butler, dare to enter.

Besides, the walled city was heavily guarded, and even the police and defenders were reluctant to approach, for fear that it would not be so easy to enter.

It is said that this walled city was built in the Song Dynasty, it is a real city of guards, to the Qing Dynasty, and the city was added, the city wall is six meters high, and there is a fort at the head of the city, as for whether the fort can still be used now, it is not clear, after all, it is a matter of the Kangqian period.

Huang Xing and the others were already wanted and couldn't go out, but Yang Zhaochun could, but he didn't care about that place and wasn't familiar with it.

Chen Mu had no choice but to let Old Willy send him to the periphery, and the old housekeeper left Chen Mu, so he quickly whipped up and fled.

Just when he walked outside the city wall, he already smelled an extremely unpleasant smell, and Honglian also frowned.

"Where is this where people live......"

Chen Mu also smiled, and said to Honglian: "It's true that this is not a place where people live, but maybe you can live in it to be a real person......

This is not yet a British concession, but if the boundary proposed by the British is approved by the imperial court, I am afraid that this place will also become British.

Fortunately, it is not at the moment, and the imperial court has also sent people to come over to sit in the government office, but where to manage anything, the tax revenue cannot come up, and even the officials of the Qing court dare not speak out, and some people even secretly escaped.

The population density in the walled city is so great that no one dares to take care of it, and the people in it are not very good, and the buildings are disorganized, resulting in narrow streets like corridors, garbage everywhere, and sewage flowing sideways.

But at the same time, the huge population density has also produced a huge consumption capacity, not to mention that none of them are serious people, and they can't wait to spend all the money they don't clean.

There are brothels and gambling houses everywhere, and the catering industry such as dog meat stalls is also very developed, and for those who mingle the rivers and lakes, the walled city is as comfortable as their home.

Wang Julou is the hall master of the Three Points Association in Guangdong, and the walled city is the base camp of the Hong Kong Three Points Society, although the hall is different, but in the end it is a family, Li Sanjiang was born in the Three Points Society, and he should mix well in the walled city.

Only Chen Mu, who has a dragon head stick on his back, and is the master of the Dragon Hall directly under the jurisdiction of the Zhongyi General Hall, and now he has the ring raised by Zhong Shui, if he can't even enter a walled city, he doesn't have to stay, and he jumped directly into the Xiangjiang River and died.

When you arrive at the south gate of the walled city, there are really many people checking the gates, and you don't need to say any incisions or codes, you only need to show your waist level, or someone inside is a guarantee, and you can enter.

The walled city is a Shura field, whether you are dead or alive to enter, it is completely dependent on your own skills, but not everyone can enter it.

In the end, they keep a bottom line, if they want to enter the walled city, they must be involved in three points, which may be the only rule.

Of course, Chen Mu also has a flat waist, but the walled city is like a labyrinth, if he goes in, it will be difficult to find Wang Julou and others, it is better to be at the entrance, so he will ask clearly before entering.

After figuring this out, Chen Mu said to the guy who was in check.

"Take me to your speaker."

The gatekeeper saw that Chen Mu's demeanor was outstanding, and he didn't dare to be embarrassed, it can be seen that the red lotus around Chen Mu, the soul-sewitching face and the cold and glamorous posture of the demon Ye, have already fascinated them, and malice inevitably swells up in their hearts.

What's more, Chen Mu is still ashamed to say that he wants to meet the person who is talking, so it's no wonder they!
