Chapter 93: Who's More Arrogant?
Lan Weiwen arched her back slightly, and said respectfully: "Xiaguan Lan Weiwen, I've seen adults." β
Li Zhen nodded and did not speak.
After listening to Lan Weiwen's words, Smith was also suddenly surprised.
Li Zhen revealed the intention of soliciting and asked him to go to the Daotai Mansion to meet, Smith thought that Li Zhen was the son of an official eunuch, but he didn't expect that he was an official, and he was bigger than Lan Weiwen's official. At this moment, Smith froze. Smith and Li Zhen are the same age, both in their early twenties, and Li Zhen is already older than Lan Weiwen at such a young age, which shows that his identity is not simple.
Yang Fang asked, "Brother Lan, who is this person?" β
Yang Fugui stared at Li Zhen resentfully, and said unashamedly: "Uncle Lan, who is this kid?" Do you need to be afraid of him? Hmph, it's really not good, let Dad donate a big official to you, just suppress him, and see what he dares? οΌ
When Lan Weiwen heard this, she was already about to cry.
This situation is so unlucky.
Especially when he met a stupid boy like Yang Fugui, it embarrassed him even more.
Lan Weiwen showed a far-fetched smile on her face, waved her hand at Li Zhen, and said, "Brother Yang, this is the new Master Li of Shanghai Daotai that I once mentioned to you. Originally, I wanted to introduce Master Li to you, but I didn't want to bump into each other today, and there was a little misunderstanding. The so-called don't fight and don't know each other, today's incident is regarded as a misunderstanding, everyone should not ......"
"Bastard!"
When Li Zhen heard this, he shouted.
Lan Weiwen's body trembled, and she immediately closed her mouth, her face was pale, and she was so frightened that she almost fell to the ground.
Yang Fang grabbed Lan Weiwen and said, "Brother Lan, it's just a small platform, don't be afraid." β
Li Zhen sneered twice, a businessman with some money and connections was so arrogant, he really thought he was invincible. Li Zhen had a plan in his heart, but he ignored Yang Fang, looked at Lan Weiwen, and asked, "Do you think Yang Fang is reasonable?" β
Lan Weiwen shook her head one after another, expressing her disagreement with Yang Fang's words.
At the same time, Lan Weiwen also broke free from Yang Fang's hand.
Li Zhen shouted: "In that case, what are you still standing there for?" Do you want to shelter Yang Fang from the wind and rain? β
When Lan Weiwen heard this, she knew that she had to give up Yang Fang.
Lan Weiwen knew Li Zhen's methods, in the past, Yang Nengge and Li Zhen were opposed, and Yang Nengge was killed. Although he killed Yang Nengge, it was also planned by Li Zhen. Now that he has angered Li Zhen, there will definitely be no good fruit to eat. Lan Weiwen decisively walked to Li Zhen's side and said in a low voice: "My lord, today's matter is a dereliction of duty, please condemn your duties." β
Li Zhen snorted coldly: "I'll talk about your business later." β
Lan Weiwen stood beside Li Zhen obediently, and let all the officials who came disperse.
Yang Fang's expression remained unchanged, and there was no fear.
In the past, when Yang Nengge served as the Shanghai Daotai, he had to look at his face to act. Now there is a new Shanghai Daotai, even if it is the head dragon, it is only a dragon crossing the river, and it is no match for him, the head snake, and it is impossible to clean him up.
Yang Fang said in a deep voice: "I didn't expect Lord Daotai to be so young, he is really a young man, but it's a pity that his temper is a little bigger." In the past, when I visited Xu Naizhao, the governor of Jiangsu, I was still a guest of Lord Xu, but now I am scolded by Lord Yang, and Lord Li's shelf is bigger than Lord Xu. β
Li Zhen showed a look of disdain in his eyes, oppressing people with power?
Hmph, who wouldn't!
Li Zhen said unhurriedly: "The governor respects you for three points, but you are still a common person under the rule of this official. However, according to what you said, when I met the emperor, the emperor asked me to dine with him, and he also rewarded me with a yellow coat, which seems to be much older than your Lord Xu. β
"You ......"
Yang Fang's eyes widened, revealing a sullen expression.
Li Zhen smiled contemptuously, and secretly said who is afraid of whom in the background?
Xu Naizhao is just a governor of Jiangsu, if he comes to Shanghai, Li Zhen is still not afraid. Li Zhen also has the support of Qi Shan, the minister of the Jiangbei camp, and Guiliang, the secretary of the military department, a Xu Naizhao is a bird!
Yang Fang thought for a while, and then said: "Master Li, I have a relationship with the British consul Ali Guo and the French consul Aitang. If you provoke me, you won't be able to gain a foothold in Shanghai. Those who know each other immediately admit their mistakes. You are a Shanghai Taoist, and the old man doesn't want your woman anymore, as long as you bow your head and admit your mistakes, this matter will be over. β
Yang Fang resented Li Zhen in his heart, but he still lowered his requirements.
After all, the person in front of him is still an official.
Li Zhen scratched his head and said, "Your brain was kicked stupidly by a donkey, do you really think you can cover the sky with one hand?" β
Yang Fang's brows furrowed into a Sichuan character, he didn't expect Li Zhen to be so tough. Yang Fang said in a deep voice: "Lord Yang, although you are a Shanghai Taoist, you are nothing in front of foreigners, and it is not worth offending the old man." β
"Hahaha......"
Li Zhenlang laughed loudly and said, "Yang Fang, Yang Fang, you have lived on a dog for so many years." β
"Who do you think you are, you can command Ali Guo and Aitang?"
"What can I do if I offend you?"
"In the past, Ali Guo specially set up a banquet to invite the official, and there were countless celebrities at the banquet, why didn't I see your shadow? You're just a foreigner's dog, and the dog fights the power of people.
"Do you think Ah Liguo and Aitang can scare me? You are wrong, the commander of the British fleet, Adams, was captured by the officer, and the commander of the French fleet, Lawell, was also wounded in the leg by the officer. I am not afraid of the British and French commanders, why should I be afraid of you as a small businessman? β
"You are self-righteous, but you don't know that you should provoke someone who shouldn't be provoked, you should go back and reflect on it."
"As soon as the official gave the order, the Yang Mansion collapsed."
Li Zhen said in a deep voice: "Just today, Ah Liguo and Ai Tang left from the official's mansion. Since you have what you can do, go and ask them to help, and this officer will see what you are capable of. β
Yang Fang chuckled in his heart, and secretly said that it was not good.
However, Yang Fang would not take the initiative to admit his mistake, and said coldly: "Master Li, the old man's son is like this, he can't change it." If an adult wants to arrest someone, please feel free, the old man is waiting at any time in the house. β
After that, Yang Fang said in a deep voice: "Let's go, go home." β
Yang Fang took Yang Fugui and a group of people lying on the ground, and left with a swagger.
Li Zhen watched Yang Fang and the others leave, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
A person who relies on a little money thinks that the world is invincible, which is really naΓ―ve.
Li Zhen looked at Smith and said with a smile: "Smith, you also heard that I am the new Shanghai Daotai, and I am also the new Jiang Customs Superintendent, responsible for Shanghai tariffs. Because I often deal with foreigners and need a foreign friend who is proficient in Chinese, I hope to get your help, you can consider it. β
Li Zhen is proficient in foreign languages, but it is okay to pretend to be forced occasionally, and it is better to speak Chinese.
Smith said, "My lord, you let me think about it. β
Li Zhen nodded, did not urge, and left with Zhou Xiuying. Lan Weiwen followed behind, slightly hunched back, and her farts were bumpy. Along the way, Li Zhen was silent, and Lan Weiwen was also worried and very uneasy.
The quieter it is, the more it feels like the calm before the storm.
After returning home, Zhou Xiuying went to the backyard, Li Zhen sat down in the hall, and Lan Weiwen stood in fear.
