Just a dozen steps away from Liang Pengfei and his party, there was a sudden shouting and screaming from a shop on the street, and then, a thin middle-aged man was driven to the door, and seemed to want to break in, but as soon as the curtain was lifted, he was pushed to the street by a thick leg behind the curtain.

Then two big men rushed out, scolded and punched him several times, and after spitting, they returned to the shop. The man who had been knocked to the ground seemed to have little strength left, just moaning weakly there.

It didn't take long for a street patrol officer to come over, take a look, and seem to be very skillful in setting up the man and dragging him into the distance. I kept complaining about something. The pedestrians and vendors around seemed to be accustomed to this, and still did their own things, but when they looked at the shop, they all had a look of fear and disgust on their faces. Liang Pengfei raised his head curiously, but he didn't see any signboard in that shop.

"It can't be a gambling stall, right?" Li Xiaoshuang rubbed his fingers, and when he mentioned gambling, the eyes of the pirate-born ruffians all lit up, but no one dared to move their footsteps to that side, and they all knew the temper of Young Master Liang.

"It's not like a gambling stall, at least it's not like it's quiet." Wu Qianjin analyzed with great confidence. This guy is also a gambler, but it was already back then, and now no one dares to gamble in the army, even if it is Xiu Muyue, he will play small cards at most for entertainment.

At this time, Bai Shusheng, who was dragging the pedestrians on the side of the road and was inquiring, had already walked over: "This is indeed not a gambling stall, but an opium smoke house." ”

"Opium Smoke House?!" After Liang Pengfei heard the three words opium smoke, his original good mood disappeared in an instant, his thick eyebrows were slanted like unsheathed steel knives, and there was a chilling cold flame in his eyes. "I can't imagine it, I can't imagine that the smoking house that was banned last year can now be seen again in this dog port."

Qianlong was greatly outraged by the Guangzhou prefect's involvement in opium smuggling, and once again issued a strict decree, reiterating the anti-smoking decree of his father Yongzheng, so that all the tobacco houses on the border between the two regions were silenced, because almost all the opium smuggled by the East India Company was seized and swallowed by Liang Pengfei, and they had no source of goods even if they wanted to.

However, Liang Pengfei didn't expect that it had only been more than half a year since this incident, and he actually saw an opium smoke house in this Taiwan mansion again, how could this not annoy him?

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

At this moment, there was another sound of laughter and laughter in the shop, and soon the curtain was lifted again, and a Westerner, accompanied by a rather wealthy businessman, walked out of the shop, and the two talked and laughed.

Far away, Liang Pengfei couldn't hear the conversation between them clearly, but he faintly heard something. Cargo, boss, fleet a few words. Soon, a carriage came from not far away, and after the Westerner said goodbye to the businessman, he boarded the car, passed by Liang Pengfei and others, and went straight to the direction of the dock.

"Let's go, let's find a shop to sit down first, and you can check for me, there are several smoke houses in this dog port, and who is in the background. Lao Tzu is so idle that his eggs hurt, and someone wants to send fun. The corners of Liang Pengfei's mouth showed a hideous smile, and he stared fiercely at the back of the wealthy businessman who turned around and entered the shop, and went straight forward.

"It looks like the young master is on fire again." Wu Qianjin rubbed his hands excitedly and whispered to his companions beside him.

"Nonsense, the most important thing that the young master can't look down on is opium, it's strange if you don't do it." Another also replied.

"Alright, please follow your orders, and do not reveal your identity unless absolutely necessary." At this time, Sun Shijie commanded these generals who were gearing up.

In the Tianzi room on the second floor of the inn, Liang Pengfei was wiping the revolver with a cigar, and not far away, Ni Ming was standing at the window, holding tea, looking at the smoke house diagonally opposite, looking at the door where people entered and exited from time to time.

Sun Shijie frowned, his fingers tapped lightly on the table, and after a while, he saw that Liang Pengfei was still counting the bullets there without saying a word, and couldn't help but speak: "My lord, this matter of Taiwan Mansion is not under your jurisdiction, and we are not familiar with the place here, in case the other party finds out first and makes arrangements, then I will bite you." That's a big problem. ”

Liang Pengfei puffed out a puff of green smoke from the corner of his mouth and smiled at Sun Shijie. "You are right, but opium is very harmful to the Chinese people, and if I ignore it, it will not only violate my own original intention, but also violate my principles of life." Because of the cigar in his mouth, Liang Pengfei's words sounded a little vague, but the problem was that his tone seemed so unquestionable.

"My lord, you stick to your principles, it's a good thing, but now you should ......" Sun Shijie was still about to be persuaded again, but was interrupted by Ni Ming, who was standing by the window: "Shijie, the two of us follow the adult, and it is not because of the adult's character and his personality. ”

Hearing this, Sun Shijie still wanted to compete with Ni Ming, but at this time he heard a knock on the door. "Young Master, the scholar and Wu Qianjin are all back."

"Young master, I have inquired clearly, that person's name is Pryant, a British merchant, who just came here yesterday and lives in a merchant inn on the docks. It is said that the inn where he lived was full of his goods, and the small one originally wanted to investigate, but he didn't expect that the warehouse of the inn was guarded by sailors, and the small one retreated for fear of startling the snake, but it had already made people look at the inn, if he wanted to leave, he would definitely not be able to escape our eyes. As soon as Bai Shusheng entered the house, he poured beans into a bamboo tube and shook out all the news he knew.

"Sailor Soldier?" Liang Pengfei couldn't help but pause when he played with the revolver, and after throwing the gun on the table, he looked at Wu Qianjin, who had not yet spoken, and said, "How is it?" Find out something. ”

"The opium smoke shop diagonally opposite us was opened by patrolling Taiwan's military preparation road Yongfu according to the rank of inspector, and in addition, we have already investigated, there are a total of four smoke houses in Dagou Harbor, and two of them belong to the name of this soldier Yongfu Yongyong." Wu Qianjin replied one by one.

"What about the other two?" The cigar next to Liang Pengfei's mouth was spewing sparks, and the smoke became thicker and thicker, hiding most of his face behind the green smoke, but the bright gaze of his eyes fell on Wu Qianjin's face unhindered.

"The other two seem to be related to Chen Guangzhao, the deputy general of the Taiwan Sailors Association, and it seems that many sailor generals also have shares in them." Wu Qianjin pursed his dry lips, although he couldn't see the young master's expression clearly, but the cigar head that flickered in the green smoke was like the lead of the thirty-two-pound cannon, which made people feel extremely dangerous.

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

Liang Pengfei took a deep breath: "Okay, what a military preparation platform, a good deputy general of the water division, hehehe......" His laughter was like a night owl hovering over a deserted grave in the silent room. It makes everyone in the room feel as if they have been immersed in the icy seawater, and it is cold to the bone.

"Let's go! Let's see what treasures are in the storehouse, and it's worth letting the sailor guard it. As soon as the laughter stopped, Liang Pengfei rubbed his fingers fiercely, and the sparks on the originally lit cigar butts fell to the ground like molten steel, bounced twice, and the sparks went out into ashes.

"Your Excellency, do you want to do it now?" Sun Shijie couldn't help but be taken aback, and hurriedly asked.

"What hands? Lao Tzu is a dignified general soldier in a town, he likes to watch the excitement, see the freshness, and when he sees his colleagues, he always has to say hello and brag and fart, right? Liang Pengfei said with a smile, but the hideousness on that face had nothing to do with meeting with colleagues.

"My lord, what are you going to do if opium is indeed hidden there?" Sun Shijie said again.

"Are you stupid? Of course, it was robbed as evidence of thieves. Wu Qianjin rubbed his big hands excitedly, and his expression was like hearing the bandits of the fat sheep passing by the intersection he was guarding.

"But if you do this, you will definitely come into conflict with the officials here." Ni Ming also opened his mouth at this time, his brows were a little tight, this chief soldier took the path of a bandit, and seemed to ignore the officialdom at all.

"Nonsense! No conflict, how can Lao Tzu have the opportunity to clean up those bastards, how can he shock those dogs! Liang Pengfei raised his eyebrows and sneered. What officialdom rules, what officialdom conventions are about Lao Tzu's, if I want to follow these, why should I think about breaking these filthy things......" Liang Pengfei didn't say anything, he didn't have to say anything, so he went straight downstairs and went straight to the dock.

Looking at Liang Pengfei's heroic figure, Ni Ming took a deep breath, his eyes flashed with indescribable brilliance, his hands clenched into fists, strode away, and chased after Liang Pengfei.

Wu Qianjin and the others clenched their fists tightly, closely following Liang Pengfei's left and right, their young master was a person who did great things, and he and the others were just a group of pirates in the past, pirates who struggled to survive on the line of life and death, and any ideal was.

But now, the young master is like a leader, leading them forward, towards a goal for the whole family and the nation, although he doesn't know much about those literary things, but Wu Qianjin has heard the young master say, we are the Chinese nation has been the master of this land since ancient times, and we want to overturn the Qing dogs that ride on our heads, and we must also decorate those Xiyi people who rely on the boats and guns to be ruthless, so that they can understand that we are the masters of this land and this ocean.

"Follow the young master, whoever you do!" Li Xiaoshuang's conclusion is the simplest, but it also expresses the thoughts of many people.
