Yang Xiaoshan looked at Mary's excited look, and his heart softened, what a simple and kind American girl, let's tell her the truth, "Actually, I am your brother Charles's business partner, if you don't tell me this, I will also save him." ”

"What? Are you that Yang Shizi? Marie exclaimed.

"Be quiet, it's a secret. Your brother and I met in Wuhan, and the order you said was a Hall rifle, and I was right. This time I'm here with makeup, so don't reveal it. Yang Xiaoshan said softly.

"Oh my God, you're that guy! How could it be such a coincidence? Marie was still a little incredulous.

"It's just that small. You go to the U.S. Embassy on my behalf to get a letter of entrustment, and let me go to rescue your brother on their behalf, and I'll take care of the rest. Yang Xiaoshan still decided to go to the county seat of Shanghai in person, even if it was risky, he also wanted to redeem Charles.

Seeing off Marie, Yang Xiaoshan set out to set out to go to the county seat of Shanghai.

Ah Fu found Guo Wuye through various relationships, and the latter promised to match Yang Xiaoshan and redeem Charles.

So Yang Xiaoshan took Ah Fu and a few other guys, and came to Shanghai County with a letter of entrustment from the US Embassy.

At this time, the county seat of Shanghai was only allowed to enter and not allowed to leave, Yang Xiaoshan and his party waited outside the city gate for a long time, and Guo Wuye bought the relationship and asked the guards to let them in.

"This is the authorized client of the U.S. Embassy, Mr. Toneyama, who came to find Mr. Charles." Ah Fu introduced to Guo Wuye.

This Guo Wu looks like a gangster, because he is familiar with people in this area, and there are some small forces. Ah Fu and the others put them in charge of escorting the opium transported from the direction of Tianjing to avoid the inspection of the Qing court.

"It turned out to be Chang Gongzi, who has been admired for a long time." Guo Wu's opening is the tone of the rivers and lakes.

"Fifth Master Guo, I have admired my name for a long time." Although Yang Xiaoshan doesn't like such characters in the rivers and lakes, after all, he is still polite now.

Although Guo Wu is usually used to playing tricks, he has to do this on the rivers and lakes. When encountering a Sven person like Yang Xiaoshan, Guo Wu didn't dare to do this, but instead had a flattering demeanor. In this era, the people at the bottom have an instinctive awe for cultural people.

Liu Lichuan, the head of the Little Knife Club, is not the strongest, but because he is a cultural person, he can read and write and read foreign languages before he was promoted as the big leader.

From Guo Wuye's mouth, Yang Xiaoshan learned that this knife would be the strongest in Chen Alin's Fujian Tong'an Gang, followed by Liu Lichuan's Guangdong Xiangshan Gang, and other small gangs would be even second.

This time, the county seat of Shanghai was conquered, and 400,000 taels of treasury silver were seized, and several gangs were full of contradictions over the uneven distribution of the treasury silver. Because Chen Alin was the strongest, he also led people to win the treasury silver, so he divided the 200,000 taels of silver by himself.

The rest of the silver was taken by Liu Lichuan, and the silver was controlled on the grounds of the gang's general dispatch, and the other small gangs saw that the two big ones divided the silver equally, and they didn't get a dime, and their opinions were very big.

So they each thought of their own tricks, and Li Xianchi of the Longxi Gang in Fujian came up with an idea, he controlled all the Qing court officials and foreign envoys as hostages, and asked them to find someone to pay the ransom. Other gangs are robbing big households, robbing shops and the like. Gangs are like this, to say that the revolution is fake, and the pursuit of wealth is real, all for the white money.

Yang Xiaoshan walked on the streets of Shanghai County, no one had cleaned up the bloodstains, they were all looking for silver, and they didn't see a woman on the road, so they didn't dare to go out. Compared with the Taiping army, after entering the city, they immediately set out to eliminate the traces of war, return peace to the people, and let everyone rest assured of the kingdom of heaven, the approach of the two sides is really too far apart.

On the road, there were constantly various gang members who saw that Yang Xiaoshan was dressed appropriately, and wanted to knock on a bamboo bar, but fortunately, Guo Wuye still had some face, and they all blocked out.

"Chang Gongzi, you should bring a red bandana, it's more convenient." Guo Wuye was a little overwhelmed and suggested.

Yang Xiaoshan also felt that the red headscarves in the city were too abrupt to dress like this, so he relied on Guo Wu.

Under the guidance of Guo Wu, they finally came to the Futai Yamen in Shanghai, which was Li Xianchi's stronghold. Their men control all the government personnel.

"Guo Wu, why are you here?" The guards outside the door recognized Guo Wu, obviously they hadn't paid attention to a small leader like Guo Wu yet.

Guo Wu nodded and bowed, befriended them, greeted the silver, and the guard finally went in to tell him, saying that someone had come to ransom him.

Yang Xiaoshan saw that Guo Wu was still working hard, although he was a little arrogant on the surface, but he still didn't have a bad heart, so he asked Ah Fu to give him another hundred taels of silver tickets, which was his reward for leading the way this time.

"Fifth master, I'm sorry for you this trip." Yang Xiaoshan knew that without him leading the way this time, he would not be able to find this place.

Guo Wuyi knew that this person's background must be extraordinary as soon as he saw Yang Xiaoshan's move, and hurriedly stammered: "Thank you for Chang Gongzi's appreciation, thank you Chang Gongzi." ”

After a while, the guard came back and said loudly, "We have help Li please come with me." ”

Yang Xiaoshan didn't say much, and walked in with the guards.

When I arrived at the lobby, sitting in the center of the hall was Li Xianchi Li Gang Leader, he was tall and strong, and there was a scar on his face, which looked like a ruthless character.

Seeing Yang Xiaoshan and his party, he slapped the table and gave Yang Xiaoshan a dismount when he came up: "You are a spy of the Qing army, come, take it for me." ”

Guo Wu was immediately frightened, and hurriedly went up to defend: "This is the client of the US Embassy, and he is here to ransom the foreigner." It can't be a spy, ask the helper to see it. ”

Yang Xiaoshan was used to seeing such a scene, his face did not change, but he said arrogantly: "I'm here to talk about business, since Gang Leader Li doesn't want to talk about business, then we'll go back." ”

Li Xianchi saw that he didn't scare him, and his tone softened, "I'm here to come if you want to, and leave if you want?" ”

"Gang Master Li, Chang Mou is sincere to redeem people, I brought these five thousand taels of silver tickets. However, you have to go to the money bank in the concession to exchange it. Do you want this white money? Yang Xiaoshan took out a silver ticket, shook his hand, and it lit up.

Five thousand taels of silver, the people in these gangs are all from mud legs, how have they seen so much money.

Li Xianchi immediately softened, "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding." Chang Gongzi don't see outside, after all, everyone is not familiar with each other, let's talk about business, talk about business. ”

"Come on, take a seat for Chang Gongzi and serve good tea." Li Xianchi is also worried about money now, a group of brothers under his command are clamoring for military salaries, and people are rebelling with their heads, who will listen to them if it is no good?

Yang Xiaoshan saw that he was on the road, so he sat down, and then said, "Where is Charles?" It's that American, can I take him away now? ”

Li Xianchi changed his face and said with a sneer: "Don't be in a hurry, not in a hurry." Chang Gongzi is rare to come, let's talk about business first. I have a good business here that I would like to introduce to you. ”
