Chinatown, Dading Restaurant.

Because he had to always pay attention to Hong Yi's affairs, Li Zhen simply moved to the restaurant to live.

In order to let Li Zhen rest well, Tang Huaide also tried his best to vacate all the backyards of Dading Restaurant and let Li Zhen and his entourage rest. In the courtyard, Zuo Zongtang was wearing a black cotton robe, sat next to Li Zhen, and said slowly: "President, we have been staying in San Francisco for a while, and now we continue to stay because of Hong Yi's arrest, I am afraid it will affect our arrangements for visiting other places." ”

After a pause, Zuo Zongtang said again: "In my opinion, can you speed up your plan?" Settle the matter of Hong Yi as soon as possible, and then go to Washington with US President Lincoln. ”

Li Zhen smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Brother Ji Gao, don't worry, Hong Yi's matter will be resolved soon." I made a four-step plan, and the most critical plan was the first step, which was to create an image of corruption in the San Francisco government, and now that I have successfully established it, the rest of the matter will be handled very easily, and the opportunity will be completed soon. Even, the four-step plan I formulated may not be fully implemented, and it is possible to rescue Hong Yi. ”

Zuo Xiaowei interjected: "President, in fact, San Francisco is quite fun, and it doesn't hurt to stay for a few more days." ”

"Bastard things, they know how to play, and they don't dare to get down to business." Zuo Zongtang scolded.

Zuo Xiaowei stuck out his tongue and looked like a hippie smile.

Li Zhen waved his hand and said with a smile: "Xiaowei, you haven't entered the officialdom yet, and I'm the same generation as your father, just call my uncle, be kind, there's no need to be so angry." ”

"Yes, Uncle Lee!" Zuo Xiaowei raised his head and looked at Zuo Zongtang proudly.

Li Zhen continued: "Brother Ji Gao, all the children, including Xiaowei, it's okay to play. This time, I brought them out, mainly to open their eyes, let them see what the United States looks like, see how Americans live, see what countries other than China are like, how people live, as long as their horizons are opened, it will be successful. ”

Zuo Zongtang shook his head and said, "The president spoils them too much. ”

"Step! Trample!!! ”

There was a sound of footsteps, and Hong Qinglong and Wang Hong strode in.

When the two saw Li Zhen, they immediately bowed and saluted.

Li Zhen waved his hand to let Zuo Xiaowei, Zeng Jize, Zeng Jihong and other children go out to play, and then asked, "What is the new progress?" ”

Hong Qinglong replied: "I just got the news that Powell, under the pressure of public opinion, has released all the arrested Chinese Hongmen disciples. Hehe, he definitely didn't expect that our Hongmen disciples would unite and insist that they were ordinary people, so it was useless to arrest them. ”

Wang Hong smiled and continued: "In addition, Powell publicly apologized for the arrest of the Chinese people. In addition, Powell also said that the criminals who killed Peter and his wife have absconded, and the government is stepping up the investigation and will solve the case as soon as possible. ”

Li Zhen sneered and said: "Powell is just a pawn, Lincoln and Seward are the ones behind it." Now that Powell has capitulated, it means that Lincoln and Seward have died down for the time being. ”

Zuo Zongtang said: "I don't think Lincoln and Seward will rest on their laurels and will continue to look for evidence." ”

Li Zhen said: "No matter what they do, they will be too late." ”

After a pause, Li Zhenlang said: "So far, the first step of the plan has been successfully completed. Hong Qinglong and Wang Hong immediately ordered all the Hongmen disciples to start implementing the second step plan. We're going to add another fire, so that Lincoln and Seward will be on pins and needles, and even have trouble sleeping. Public anger is not so easy to solve, especially in the United States, a place that claims freedom. ”

"Yes!"

Hong Qinglong and Wang Hong responded excitedly and turned to leave.

……

San Francisco, west of the city.

One by one, leaflets were handed out, and there was new information on them.

The leaflet clearly recorded Hong Yi's arrest. Moreover, the things about Hong Yi have also been slightly modified. At the beginning, when the white steward of the factory harassed the wife of the Hongmen brothers, the woman reported the situation to the factory leaders, but the factory leaders turned a blind eye and did not take the woman's request seriously, so that the white steward forcibly raped the woman, but no one dared to say anything.

Such a modification caused the factory to fall into it.

Moreover, Li Zhen also exaggerated Hong Yi's image, publicized Hong Yi's jealousy and hatred of helping others, and described Hong Yi as a good person. It is precisely because of Hong Yi's character that after Hong Yi knew that his brother's wife was raped by a white man, he immediately took someone to seek justice. But Hong Yi is a reasonable person, and after seeing the white steward of the factory, he did not immediately start a fight, and he knew the reason and wanted the white steward of the factory to apologize.

However, the white man had a bad attitude, not only did not apologize, but also called the security personnel of the factory even more fiercely, and wantonly beat Hong Yi and his party, and scolded him in every way.

Hong Yi couldn't bear it anymore before launching a counterattack.

Both sides fought, and in the end both weapons were used, and the murder occurred.

The news was transmitted in the west of San Francisco, and at the same time, the news of Hongyi was spreading in the south, north, east and center of San Francisco.

Overnight, no one in the world knew Hong Yi.

Among them, after the Americans who knew Hong Yi got the news of Hong Yi, they stood up and said that Hong Yi is indeed very kind and helpful on weekdays. After the propaganda of the Americans, Hong Yi's image became taller, while the white stewards and factories looked extremely ugly. As for the officials who arrested Hong Yi, they became the target of verbal and written criticism.

In the past, there was a tragedy in the family of Peter and his wife, and now the first file of Hong Yi has been revealed, which has made the people of San Francisco excited and put huge pressure on the government.

Powell got the news and went straight to Lincoln's residence.

In the room, Powell met a grimacing Lincoln and Seward.

After Powell sat down, he said helplessly: "Your Excellency the President and Your Excellency the Secretary of State, both of you already know the current situation. Li Zhen's purpose is also very clear. He created the Peter couple thing just to pave the way for Hong Yi. Now, countless people are petitioning and demonstrating, let us release Hong Yi, Li Zhen has achieved his goal. In particular, the excitement of the crowd has reached the point where it is difficult for the law to deal with. Once the legal process is followed, the consequences are immeasurable. ”

Lincoln frowned and said, "Li Zhencheng's mansion is so deep that it's creepy. ”

Seward snorted and said in a cold voice: "So far, we must not admit defeat." Now it is not the San Francisco government and Li Zhen fighting, but the high-level contest between the two countries, and Hong Yi is just a chess piece in it. I believe that we must grit our teeth now and never let go. We will continue to investigate the matter of Peter and his wife thoroughly, resolve the matter as soon as possible, and then deal with Hong Yi in turn, and things will be much easier. ”

"Boom! Boom!! ”

There was a knock on the door, and Lincoln said, "Come in!" ”

The soldier walked in and said, "President Li of China is here and is waiting in the living room. ”
