Lincoln shouted, "Someone! ”

Suddenly, a soldier strode in and stood respectfully in front of Lincoln.

Lincoln ordered: "Immediately notify His Excellency Secretary of State Seward, and the Mayor of San Francisco, His Excellency Powell, plus the first officer of the San Francisco City Court, to meet in the conference room." ”

"Yes!"

The soldiers went to give the order, and Lincoln changed into his dress and headed for the conference room.

Li Zhen has already released cruel words and is going to intervene in this matter, and Li Zhen threatens to cause turmoil in the United States once he intervenes, which makes Lincoln have to deal with it carefully. As the saying goes, be careful to sail a ship for ten thousand years, and Lincoln was a cautious man, so he asked Seward, Powell and others to discuss countermeasures. In less than half an hour, the three heavyweights had already arrived in the conference room.

Lincoln waved his hand and said, "Sir, please be seated!" ”

After taking his seat, Seward asked, "Did Mr. President invite us here to discuss slavery?" ”

The corners of Lincoln's mouth twitched, and he almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood.

The old gentleman really thinks about abolishing slavery, and as soon as he opens his mouth, it is a slave thing.

Lincoln shook his head lightly and said, "I informed Your Excellency Seward, Your Excellency Powell, and Mr. **Guan to come to the conference room to study a major event that has just happened in San Francisco. Hong Yi, the owner of the Hongmen Gate in Chinatown, gathered a crowd to kill people and has now been arrested. That's what I'm talking to you about. ”

**The official said: "This has been decided, and it must be executed!" ”

Seward also nodded and said, "I also think that Hong Yi must be executed, a small Chinatown Chinese people, how bad it is to dare to openly attack us American people." This matter must be dealt with seriously, to give a warning to the Chinese in Chinatown, otherwise what advantage do we white people have? Let the yellow-skinned people, or the rest of the skin color, know that the Caucasian person is a person of noble blood and cannot be violated. ”

After Powell heard this, he suddenly felt uncomfortable in his heart.

In his body, there is also black blood flowing in it, not pure white.

Seward's words were undoubtedly insulting to him.

Seward was a supporter of the emancipation of slaves and the making of slaves free citizens of the United States. However, Sewards was still proud of whites in his bones, believing that whites were superior to others, and even if blacks became free citizens, they would still be restricted.

Powell said: "Your Excellency President, I remember that you and Your Excellency Seward have already made up their minds, do you still need to discuss them?" ”

**The official nodded yes, with a puzzled look.

Lincoln sighed: "Just now, President Li of China came to me, hoping that I would open up and spare Hong Yi's life, but I refused. President Lee said he would intervene in this matter and would not give up easily. ”

Seward snorted and said: "I admire Li Zhen's support for the abolition of slavery, but if Li Zhen wants to meddle in the state affairs of the United States, I am very unhappy and not optimistic about him." Mr. President, you can confidently tell Li Zhen that he does not need to meddle in the affairs of the United States, and he will not be allowed to interfere. If he insists on getting involved in this matter, it will not do him any good. ”

** The official also said: "I agree with the words of His Excellency Seward! ”

Powell raised his eyebrows, but he didn't expect Tang Huaide to have found Li Zhen, the speed is fast enough!

Lincoln had a bitter expression on his face and said seriously: "It's not that simple, Li Zhen said that he intervened in this matter, would not use violent means, would not do anything that violated American law, and rescued Hong Yi through normal channels." However, Li Zhen also vowed that once he gets involved in this matter, it is likely to cause shocks in the United States. ”

"Hahaha...... Joke, big joke! ”

Seward said coldly, "Who does he think he is?" Is it God? Opinionated. After a pause, Xiward said: "Let's wait and see what waves Li Zhen can make." **Your Excellency, don't rush to execute Hong Yi for the time being, let Hong Yi live for a while longer, let's take a look at President Li's methods. ”

The officer looked at Lincoln and nodded when he saw Lincoln.

Obviously, Lincoln and Seward were quite curious about Li Zhen's cruel words. Li Zhen did not expect such a delayed result, but it was a result that Li Zhen was willing to see, at least delaying the time for Hong Yi to be killed, and also giving Li Zhen time to save Hong Yi.

……

Dading Restaurant, the second floor!

At this time, the dining tables upstairs had already been removed and replaced with ordinary tables and chairs. Merchants are sitting here, and Li Zhen has already arrived. After Li Zhen ran into a wall at Lincoln, he rushed to the Dading Restaurant, and as soon as he arrived, countless businessmen flocked to it, and even some of the bigwigs of Hongmen came to the Dading Restaurant.

Li Zhen sighed: "I asked Lincoln, but he didn't want to open the net. ”

"Ahh

At this moment, countless people exclaimed.

The bigwigs of Hongmen looked like earth and looked depressed. Tang Huaide, A Shaman and other Chinatown businessmen also became depressed. It's useless for Li Zhen to intercede, what should I do?

"Simply, let's fight and rob the door master out."

A young man in his early twenties gritted his teeth and said with a fierce look.

This person is also a disciple of Hong Yi, named Hong Qinglong.

Wang Hong held down Hong Qinglong and asked, "President Li, since there is no way to intercede, do you have any other ways?" At this moment, Wang Hong can only pin his hopes on Li Zhen, and he must not rob the prison until the last step. Because once the prison is robbed, it means that Hongmen will stand on the opposite side of the US government and become the target of the US government's want, making Hongmen unable to gain a foothold in the United States.

Li Zhen nodded and said, "So far, we can only rely on ourselves." ”

Wang Hong said: "Please ask President Li to instruct thousands of disciples of Hongmen to be dispatched by President Li." ”

Li Zhen nodded and said, "You are all willing to obey the dispatch, it is the most suitable." After a pause, Li Zhen looked at all the merchants on the second floor and said, "Except for a few stewards of Hongmen, as well as Old Tang and A Shaman, the rest of the people should go down." It's not that I can't trust you, but there are many people, and it is easy for more people to leak the news if they know more. Thank you for your understanding. ”

The merchants did not dare to complain and went downstairs one after another.

Soon, only Tang Huaide, A Shaman, Wang Hong, Hong Qinglong, and a few Hongmen bigwigs were left on the second floor.

Li Zhen glanced at Tang Huaide, and when he saw Tang Huaide nodding slightly, he knew that these people were reliable. Li Zhen said slowly: "This time to rescue the owner of the Hongmen, if you ask a lawyer to go through the legal route, it is undoubtedly quite difficult. I divided the plan into four steps, carried out step by step, and then set off a big wave, and when the matter got bigger, it was up to Lincoln and Seward, and the Hongmen Lord could naturally be saved. ”

Immediately, Li Zhen told the whole plan, and then said: "The four-step plan can't be messed up, it must come one by one, and every step must be under my command, understand?" ”

"Understood!"

Everyone knew the plan well and had confidence in their hearts.
