In the hall of the Jiangzhu Gang, as Jiang Tao was willing to gamble and lose and give up the freight terminal to Li Weiguo, the bigwigs of the major gangs who came to see the excitement also left one after another, leaving only a few core members of the Jiangzhu Gang.

"Gang leader, that kid is also arrogant, so he doesn't give us the face of the Jiangzhu Gang, if you say something, I'll go and bring someone else's head back." A middle-aged man said that he had a sideways face and a high status in the Jiangzhu Gang.

"The third rest of the old man has to be careful! Let's not touch that kid just yet! Jiang Tao shook his head and said something to stop him.

"Is the helper afraid of him? Isn't it just a fake foreign devil? Back then, even if the real foreign devil came, he still let the eldest brother kill the crying father and call the mother! The big man, who was called the third child, asked puzzled.

"What do you know, third child?" A middle-aged scholar dressed in crepe next to him snorted coldly and said: "That foreign devil just won a battle, but he can only be majestic at sea, and I haven't seen them dare to enter the inland of the Yangtze River for all these years." Our helper knows many sailor generals, how can he be afraid of that foreign devil. The reason why the gang leader didn't move that kid is that there are too many gangs in our Jiangzhu Gang today, and there are many people, after all, we have lost, and we can't do without this face. The second is that the kid is so bold that he doesn't take the court seriously at all, and he doesn't wronged him when he says that he is plotting to rebel. Because of this, I think the helper may think that this kid has something to do with heaven and earth, and we can not care about foreign devils, but we can't offend heaven and earth. ”

"It's still the second child who can see through and know what I mean!" Jiang Tao smiled reluctantly, no matter what, he lost face today, and lost the fat of the freight terminal, which was a big blow to the morale and property of the Jiang Zhu Gang.

"I see!" The third child understood, but he was still unhappy and said: "But that kid is too arrogant, I'm afraid it will be difficult to sleep and eat if I don't have this bad breath." ”

Jiang Tao also gritted his teeth, but he sneered gloomily: "I naturally won't let him have a good time, there is a batch of goods in the dock warehouse, and the real owner of the goods is the Heaven and Earth Society's Flame Hall, the second child, you go in person, arrange for someone to smuggle the goods away, and then let the people of the Heaven and Earth Society go to Li Weiguo to settle accounts." ”

The scholar named the second child also sneered: "It's still a great helper, so quickly I thought of a clever plan to kill two birds with one stone!" ”

The third child asked: "Why don't I understand, what is killing two birds with one stone?" ”

Seeing that the second child deliberately handled it, laughing and not saying a word, Jiang Tao shook his head with a wry smile, and explained to the third child: "The goods in the dock warehouse are all insured, and once they are damaged or lost, we will have to compensate for them by the Jiangzhu Gang." Now the wharf is in the name of Li Weiguo, and once the goods in the warehouse are lost, Li Weiguo will have to compensate. He had just gotten the dock and there was no time to change the personnel, so it was easy for us to get started. That batch of goods is from the Heaven and Earth Society, all of them are weapons, and they are very important for us to expand the power of the Jiang Zhu Gang, we poured dirty water on Li Weiguo, and let the people of the Heaven and Earth Society come forward to kill him, so that others will not suspect me. ”

The second child couldn't help but say at this time: "Then if Li Weiguo is not a member of the Heaven and Earth Society, he will definitely be hacked to death by the people of the Heaven and Earth Society, and we will take the opportunity to take it back to the dock." If it is a member of the Heaven and Earth Society, it will be difficult to escape punishment, and the Heaven and Earth Society will not see the light in the first place, even if it is suspected of us, there is no evidence, and we can't help it. ”

"I see, it's still the helper and the second brother who are powerful, and I'm ashamed of the third!" The third child scratched his head and said honestly.

Jiang Tao laughed and said: "The third child doesn't have to be presumptuous, although your wisdom is slightly inferior to the two of us, but your kung fu is higher than the two of us, our three brothers complement each other's advantages, and in the future, only we will dominate the Jinling realm." ”

"Without further ado, I'll do it!"

The second child got up and left the hall. Not long after, the third child also got up and said goodbye: "Then I'll go to the dock to have a look, so that these little rabbits don't make a fuss and spoil the big thing of the helper." ”

"Okay, go ahead, stay safe!" Jiang Tao nodded, slightly more cordial to this honest third child than to the second child.

However, what he didn't know was that when the third child turned to leave, the third child, who looked a little stupid and the most inconspicuous, flashed a different color in his eyes at this moment, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

This is a hidden master.

Li Weiguo was only in name for the wharf, and the actual operation was handled by the British merchant group from the concession.

After returning from the Jiangzhu Gang, Li Weiguo hid in the church and did not go out of the door, John asked him the reason, Li Weiguo only replied that he was afraid of Jiang Tao's revenge.

Of course, John believed that, after all, Li Weiguo was only twelve years old and lacked the ability to protect himself, so he set off for the British Concession in Shanghai, after all, he had now been appointed Counsellor of the British Legation in China. But Li Weiguo deliberately couldn't shirk it, and in desperation, John had to help him ask for leave from the legation.

Only Li Weiguo himself understood that he was bargaining with the British Legation.

Although he was a little arrogant, as a son of man, Li Weiguo had to bite the bullet and rescue his father first, and this could only rely on the help of the British Legation.

When John's letter was placed on the desk of the British Minister Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to China, Sir Bowing, the newly appointed British diplomat was very happy, because he had been tasked with further opening the Qing market before leaving England, and Li Weiguo helped John to get a cargo terminal in Jiangning, which was undoubtedly a very good start.

Originally, Sir Bao Ling was still suspicious of this Li Weiguo as the counselor of the legation, after all, he was given such an important position to an Oriental at once, and he himself took a great risk, thinking that the other party was not competent, and wanted to deliberately make it difficult for him to give him this difficult task, but he did not expect him to complete it quickly.

"You're satisfied!"

Sir Wen Han, who was sitting opposite Sir Bao Ling, said with a smile, he was a former minister to China, who had just stepped down a month ago, and it was because he knew the affairs of the Qing State very well that he would build Sir Bao Ling to reuse Li Weiguo.

"This Li Weiguo is indeed very capable!" Bao Ling nodded, then looked down, and then his face sank.

Sir Wen Han observed his words and said, "What's the matter? ”

Sir Bao Ling snorted coldly and said, "Just praised him for being very capable, he was petty!" He deliberately stayed in Jiangning and did not leave, saying that he was worried that the people of the Jiangzhu Gang would retaliate against him, and this kind of trick was not seen by Major John, and it was clearly to ask our legation to give him benefits. ”

Sir Wen Han laughed and said: "The advantage he wants is to give him, after all, talents are rare, and having him will provide strong help to our British Empire's future activities in the Qing Kingdom." ”

Sir Bao Ling smiled bitterly: "You said lightly! Do you know what the benefits are that he really wants? ”

"What else?" Sir Wenham laughed and said: "Didn't John write last time that his father was unjustly imprisoned, and I hope that our British Empire can come forward to bail his father out, which is just a gesture for us." ”

"Yes! I've been here for almost a month, and I haven't come into contact with the high-ranking officials of the Qing Kingdom, they are so arrogant, it's time to knock them on and remind them not to forget the 'trade war' ten years ago, the British Empire's strong ships and cannons are not vegetarians! Sir Bao Ling paused and said, "Then by the way, let the Qing government release Li Weiguo's father, sell him a favor, and let him serve the empire well!" ”

Sir Wen Han smiled and said: "You are new to the Qing government, you should indeed give the Qing government a dismissal, they have a saying here called the three fires of the new officials, you go to burn them a few times, so that they can increase their memory!" ”

With that, the two looked at each other and laughed.

In the church, Pastor Fidan was giving a lecture, and Li Weiguo naturally had to participate, he was very low-key, and every time he chose to sit in an area where no one was around.

However, unfortunately, Shen Ziyan, the eldest lady of the Shen family, is also a believer, and every time she comes in, she somehow sits in the side row behind Li Weiguo every time, and she only needs to tilt her head slightly to see her.

Li Weiguo looked sideways and saw that she was still dressed in snow-white clothes, with her hands tied on her chest, praying quietly, like a beautiful and holy little angel, peerless and independent.

She chooses to sit next to me every time, doesn't she still like me?

It's just that we haven't met before, and we're not handsome, so it's hard for a woman to forget at a glance, and I'm afraid it can't be justified just because I've been engaged.

Li Weiguo kept speculating in his heart, he couldn't guess the thoughts of this Shen Ziyan Shen eldest lady at all, but he didn't dare to look back at her, I don't know if it was because of his weak heart, in short, after learning from his mother that day that he had been engaged to Shen Ziyan, this feeling arose.

It's guilt!

Li Weiguo thought like this in his heart, but he always felt that the back of his head was cold, as if there was a gaze looking at him.

couldn't help but glance behind him again, there was no one else except Shen Ziyan, and Shen Ziyan was still praying calmly, without any abnormality.

It must be her own psychology, her eyes are obviously invisible.

Yes, it's because she thinks too much, she can't see me at all, it must be her own delusion.

Can't see me! Can't see me!

Li Weiguo kept comforting himself in his heart, he was a little upset, and decided not to come to worship in the future, so as to avoid embarrassing Shen Ziyan and each other.

It's just that what Li Weiguo didn't notice was that when he turned his head, the corners of Shen Ziyan's mouth suddenly raised slightly, revealing a mysterious smile that was not easy to be noticed.

Not long after, John hurriedly came in and called Li Weiguo out.

"What's going on, look at your impatience!" Li Weiguo deliberately asked calmly, in fact, he was also very nervous, after all, John was a major soldier, and most of the things that made him nervous were not good things.

"There was an accident at the dock, the warehouse was stolen, and many customers lost their goods in zài." John said distressedly.

"If it is not stolen sooner or later, it will not be stolen sooner, but we have just laid down the dock and it was stolen, needless to say, it must have been done by the Jiangzhu Gang." Li Weiguo snorted coldly, decisively deduced the main messenger, and then asked, "How many things have you lost?" Do you want to lose a lot of money? ”

John smiled bitterly: "I also guess that the people of the Jiang Zhu Gang did it, but unfortunately there is no evidence." We can compensate for other goods, and it doesn't cost much. Only one of them had smuggled weapons, although there were only a few thousand swords and other weapons, but they didn't want money, just those weapons. I sent someone to inquire about the owner of the goods, and if we don't return those weapons to them within three days, we will be killed!" ”

"Heaven and Earth Society? How could it be them? Li Weiguo's eyebrows suddenly jumped, very surprised.

"This world will be so big, why are they very powerful?" John saw Li Weiguo's exaggerated expression and immediately asked.

"Isn't that amazing?" Li Weiguo said with a wry smile, the Heaven and Earth Society is a huge organization, a huge organization that has spread all over the world since the end of the Ming Dynasty and has continued to modern times. At present, the world will take the slogan of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty, ordering 31 states**, killing officials and rebelling every three or five times, who dares to offend?
