Chapter 258: Fight! Smash! Rob!
At this time, Liang Pengfei saw Ni Ming on the side looking at the Pryant who was covered in blood and moaning quietly in the corner, his brows were slightly raised, and his expression flashed with a trace of unbearability, Liang Pengfei raised his eyebrows slightly, hooked his hand and summoned a personal soldier who had just gone with Wu Qianjin to find out the news, after a whisper in his ear.
The recruit nodded understandingly, walked over to Ni Ming, who was stunned and didn't know what he was thinking, and whispered something, Ni Ming raised his head in amazement, and after seeing Liang Pengfei signaling to him, Ni Ming silently followed the soldier out of the inn.
Looking at the back of the confidant strategist, Liang Pengfei sighed lightly, although this Ni Ming has gone through a lot of hardships, but sometimes, his self-subjective consciousness is too heavy, so he let him follow the pro-soldier to see those opium victims. Let him get in close contact with those drug addicts who have been hit hard physically and mentally, but would rather go bankrupt than crawl into hell, the cruel reality is far more shocking to people's hearts than their own tongue blooming lotus.
"When dealing with the enemy, I don't need anyone around me to have the kindness of a woman." Liang Pengfei took a hard puff of his cigar and thought.
Ham is worthy of being a deceitful and greedy and shameless British, for his own life, he poured beans into a bamboo tube and told everything about everything, if it weren't for Sun Shijie's black line in the end, this guy actually wanted to depict how he hooked up with Pryant's wife to become Annihilated.
"I said, I really can't see that this big-nosed red-haired ghost really has two hands." Li Xiaoshuang looked at the British smuggler who was kneeling on the ground with a humble and pitiful look on his face.
"Maybe that guy is a silver-like wax spearhead, and his girls must not be able to hold back the fire, ah! ...... "Wu Qianjin, this guy is also very gossipy, but after being hit by Liang Pengfei's black foot on the buttocks, he hurriedly ran out of the inn under the pretext of going out to see the soldiers coming ashore.
"A bunch of bastards!" Liang Pengfei's nose almost spewed out sparks and glared at the guy, and then he asked the Ham. "Do you have any evidence in your hand, that is, evidence that the Taiwanese military commander Yongfu and the deputy general of the Taiwan Naval Division Association Chen Guangzhao traded with you. Better not tell me no, you British have always been very shrewd in business, and if those two stupid birds had not had a handle in your hands, how could they be so desperate? ”
"Your Excellency, General, you are so wise, there is a list in Pryant's arms, which records the number of pounds and French gold francs for each of these officials we have given to Taiwan, and the date, time and place of the gift are marked." Ham didn't even dare to wipe the sweat on his forehead into his eyes, for fear that his slightest movement would anger the moody Qing general.
--------------------
"That's all?" Liang Pengfei puffed out a puff of green smoke, and there was a cold chill swimming in those eagle eyes.
"Please let me think about it, there should be more, I'll think again...... By the way, that Yongfu and General Chen, they also smoke opium, and Yongfu has been smoking opium for a long time, so we can catch up with this Yongfu adult. Ham finally thought of one more thing.
Hearing this, Liang Pengfei took a deep breath: "Okay, okay, the warships of the Taiwan Naval Divisions Association were supposed to patrol Taiwan's coastal waters, exterminate bandits, and seize smuggling weapons, but now they have become smuggling ships transporting opium. Three thousand two hundred and eighty-seven boxes, which seems to be a lot less than last year's, so besides you, there are other smugglers selling opium? ”
"Yes, Your Excellency, in addition to us, there are some scattered smugglers who carry about seven hundred boxes of opium to the coasts of Fujian and Zhejiang, but because Mr. Pryant is the niece and son-in-law of Lord Dundas, Chairman of the Supervisory Committee of the East India Company, and because Mr. Pryant is a mid-level clerk of the East India Company, he has persuaded the shareholders to open this new route, so he has received the vast majority of the share, and I am just an errand runner."
"Okay, Xiaoshuang, show me this guy, well, and that guy too." Liang Pengfei crooked the corners of his mouth, tilted the corner of his eyes and glanced at Pryant who was shrinking in the corner, he had already noticed that the guy had clearly come to his senses, probably because he was afraid of being beaten again, so he shrank in the corner and pretended to be dead.
"Young master, our people have already gone ashore." At this time, Wu Qianjin rushed in and reported to Liang Pengfei: "There are a total of 300 brothers. By the way, the official uniforms and weapons of the brothers have also been brought. ”
"Okay, everyone, dress Lao Tzu neatly, so that those guys don't think we're bandits." Liang Pengfei spit out the cigar butt, took the red-topped cool hat, and put it on the bare head.
At this time, Ni Ming, who was sweating profusely and couldn't take care of wiping, and his face was extremely ugly, broke in from outside the door, and after seeing Ham kneeling on the ground, he seemed to have been provoked by a certain nerve, and suddenly rushed forward and slammed his old fist towards the door of this British.......
Everyone who was changing their clothes couldn't help but look at this scene in amazement, and Liang Pengfei also stunned Ni Ming's angry behavior, but he quickly reacted. "Alright, I promised to spare his life."
"These pigs and dogs are not as good as animals." Ni Ming gasped, stared at Ham, who made his eyes bruise and hold his head, and scolded fiercely. "My lord, these dog mongrels should be damned!"
"What, what do you see?" Liang Pengfei looked at Ni Ming and asked, although he already knew the answer, he still hoped that Ni Ming in front of him would say it himself.
Ni Ming took a deep breath, and after calming down a little, Tie Qing said with a blushing face: "My lord, I just did what you ordered, I went for a walk, and finally knew why the adults hated this person so much, in order to smoke opium, there are bankrupt people, and even just now, I arrived at an opium smoker, or should I say that I can no longer be called a human being, just to sell my daughter into the museum, just in order to be able to exchange ten taels of silver to continue to smoke opium." ”
Hearing Ni Ming's words, everyone's expressions in the lobby instantly became gloomy, and the atmosphere in the lobby was dull, revealing an inexplicable depression. Lying on the ground, Ham huddled up like a lewd king trying to lie on his stomach, not daring to move, although he could not understand the Chinese spoken by these people, but he knew that the emotions of these people seemed to be becoming more and more dangerous.
"Please punish me." At this time, Ni Ming suddenly fell to the ground, and Liang Pengfei couldn't help but be stunned: "What should I punish you?" ”
"Xiaocui, come in." Ni Ming raised his head and whispered to the outside of the door, just as everyone was surprised, a slender figure timidly came in outside the door, and bowed down to the lobby outside the door: "Thank you Lord Qingtian for saving your life." ”
The gray homespun clothes, although clean, had many traces of sewing, and on the pale and thin face, the eyes that were too big because of the thinness revealed timidity and fear, and there was a hint of surprise, which made people really feel pity.
--------------------
Liang Pengfei glanced at this little girl who was so thin that she was about to fall in the wind, sighed secretly in his heart, stepped forward and stretched out his hand to help her to get up. Only then did he turn his head to look at Ni Ming. "This is the girl?"
"Yes, I think she is really pitiful, and I have heard others say that her mother was once forced by her father...... In a fit of anger, I went back to my parents' house and remarried, and now her father is not as good as a pig and a dog, so I bought her and saved her from making a living in the willows, and she was innocent. Ni Ming didn't get up, as if he was afraid that Liang Pengfei would not agree. Please punish you. ”
Liang Pengfei looked at Ni Ming, who was kneeling on the ground for a long time, a smile gradually appeared on his face, he raised his foot and gently rubbed his buttocks, and scolded with a smile: "Get out, you are saving people, am I still holding you back from saving you?" However, if you save people, you will be saved to the end, you should know this, right? ”
This time it was Ni Ming's turn to be stunned, he really didn't understand what Liang Pengfei meant by saving people. "Please give me some advice."
"Do you hate your father?" Liang Pengfei didn't answer Ni Ming, but asked the little girl named Xiaocui.
Xiao Cui's eyes were pregnant with tears, but she didn't nod as Liang Pengfei expected, but shook her head gently. "No, I hate those who sell opium, if it weren't for them, how would my father be what life is better than death now?"
"Her family is also a scholarly disciple, and her father was once a showman, quite famous, and now he ......" Ni Ming interjected on the side, looking like he hated iron but not steel, and it seemed that the scene of Xiaocui's father selling his daughter was still fresh in his memory.
Liang Pengfei turned his head and patted Ni Ming's shoulder: "Bring her father to me, although it is difficult to quit this opium, I still want to ask him, he was originally alive like a wild dog, and he is still willing to die with his head held high!" ”
"Yes!" Ni Ming looked at Liang Pengfei and pursed his mouth tightly, and there was a burning thing flashing in his eyes.
"Yes! Let's go, Emily. After Ni Ming received the order from Liang Pengfei, he turned his face and said to the girl with a pleasant face.
Looking at the figures of the two leaving, Liang Pengfei hooked his finger at Wu Qianjin: "You take the brothers to follow them, if anyone over there dares to move a finger against them, they will smash their opium smoke house to Lao Tzu...... Well, if you want to play, just play bigger, you bring me a hundred brothers over, in charge of the tobacco house where Xiaocui's father is and the other one, Li Xiaoshuang, you bring me a hundred brothers, in charge of the other two tobacco houses. All the cash and silver tickets in the opium hall were all smashed by Lao Tzu, and all the cash and silver tickets in the opium hall were robbed by Lao Tzu anyway, as long as they were valuable, they were all robbed by Lao Tzu, and if anyone resisted, they were all given to Lao Tzu to beat his mother, and those who dared to use knives and soldiers had only one word: kill! Liang Pengfei let out a low snort, but it was like a Lu Huang bell, which shook the lobby and buzzed.
"The last general obeys!" Wu Qianjin, who was already ready to go, and Li Xiaoshuang obeyed his orders in unison.
