"Ahh

After the four of them finished discussing the matter, Bouron suddenly felt chills all over his body.

Rubbing his nose, two clear snots flowed out of his nostrils like earthworms, and his eyes were bloodshot. At this time, the sequelae of freezing and cold broke out.

Bao Ling was also shivering all over his body, and his body was cold.

Two people became wounded in an instant.

Seeing this, Adams hurriedly opened the door and asked the soldiers outside the courtyard to boil water and prepare clean and refreshing clothes. After Bao Ling and Bulon took a hot bath and changed into clean and warm clothes, Adams asked the soldiers to get a medicine for the cold and gave them to take before they began to rest.

I was busy with work, and it was already the middle of the night.

Bouron was cold, had a runny nose, sneezed from time to time, and was completely sleepy. The bag makes the body better, there is no runny nose, but the nose is not smooth. After falling asleep, he snored loudly, snoring like thunder, all night long. Adams and Spicel couldn't sleep and didn't get a good night's rest.

The next morning, the sun was shining into the house, and it was already dawn.

All four of them were sleepy-eyed, with tired faces and bloodshot eyes. Bao Ling and Bul Long were caused by the wind cold, but Adams and Rawell were tossed by the two.

Bao Ling blinked and asked, "Addams, Rawell, what's wrong with you?" ”

The old fellow slept soundly last night, and had no idea of the sin he had committed.

Lady snorted and said, "You snored all night last night, and neither Adams nor I fell asleep. As he spoke, Rawell yawned again, rubbing his sour eyes and tired cheeks.

The corners of Bao Ling's mouth twitched, slightly embarrassed.

Adams said: "It's important to get down to business, contact Li Zhen first, and then find someone to contact the businessmen in the Shanghai Concession, so as not to be indiscriminately thrown by Lu Shaochuan's thief to Yicui Building, and you really want to cry without tears." ”

"Yes, yes, find Li Zhen first."

As soon as Searle heard this, he immediately returned to the point.

The same is true of Bao Ling and Bourlon, who unanimously reached an agreement. Immediately, Adam Smali got dressed, quickly washed up, found the soldiers stationed outside the courtyard, and asked the soldiers to inform Li Zhen.

Soon, the soldiers returned and went to the hall with four people.

In the hall, Li Zhen was stunned when he saw the situation of the four people.

It's only been one night, and I'm haggard like this.

Li Zhen waved his hand to signal the four of them to sit down, and asked in a deep voice: "Looking at your situation, you must have stayed up all night thinking about problems." Tell me, how did you think about it? Whether he plans to go to Yicui Building to pick up customers, or whether he plans to raise 10 million taels of silver to pay off his debts. ”

Bao Ling took the lead and said: "General Li, 10 million is really a little more, can you reduce it a little." ”

Li Zhen sneered and said, "When you proposed 10 million, you didn't think it was too much, but now I think it's too much." Since you don't want to repay your debts, let's go to Yicui Building. ”

Li Zhen looked up at the outside of the study and shouted, "Someone! ”

As the words fell, several soldiers walked in.

Seeing this, Bourlong waved his hand again and again, and said, "Master Li, don't worry, 10 million is 10 million, we are out." With that, Bullong glared at Bao Ling viciously.

Bao Ling shook his head slightly, a little depressed in his heart. He also agreed to pay compensation, and when he got to his lips, he wanted to compress a little money. If you can earn a little back, you can earn a little back.

The corners of Li Zhen's mouth hooked up a smile, and he waved his hand to let the soldiers who came in retreat again.

Li Zhen said appreciatively: "Your Excellency Bullong is refreshing, Li Zhen admires." However, 10,000,000 taels of silver is not a small amount, so what are you going to do with it? ”

Bouron immediately said: "The four of us have limited money, and we certainly can't afford to pay ten million taels of silver. Even if you really sell us to Yicui Building, it's not worth so much money. We came up with a way to find foreign merchants in the Shanghai Concession to raise donations and try to scrape together 10 million taels of silver. However, one person needs to leave the province to visit all the merchants. ”

Li Zhen rolled his eyes and asked with a smile: "The four of you, who is willing to negotiate the matter of fundraising?" ”

"I'll go!" Bouron said without hesitation.

Adams shouted, "Bullong is infected with the wind and cold, and he is sick, so he is not fit to go out. Moreover, as the French minister to China, Bouron had always stayed in Guangzhou, and he had not been in Shanghai for a long time, so he was not familiar with Shanghai. Even if they found the British and French merchants in the concession, it was difficult to convince each other. I think it's better for me to go and raise more money. ”

Bourlong's eyes widened, and he shouted, "You dare to rob me?" ”

Adams held his head high and said unyieldingly: "It's not a matter of robbing you, it's the most suitable for me to go!" ”

Bao Ling shook his thinning hair and said solemnly: "Don't fight, you are not suitable, I will go the most suitable." Bulon now has a runny nose and a bad image that will scare the merchants. Adams was short-tempered, would fight at the slightest disagreement, and was not fit to persuade merchants. I am now in good health, and I am the British Minister to China, and I am familiar with Shanghai, and when I go to visit the merchants of the concession, they will also give me three points of thin noodles. ”

Li Zhen watched the three of them arguing, and laughed in his heart.

It's really fun!

With a turn of his gaze, Li Zhen looked at Rayel, who had not spoken.

In an instant, Rawell seemed to feel the ardent expectation in Li Zhen's eyes, and immediately stood up and said unceremoniously: "Bao Ling is not suitable, only I am the most suitable." ”

Bao Ling frowned and said, "Your thigh is injured, and it is inconvenient to walk, so it is not suitable." ”

Adams said in a deep voice: "Spicel, don't be kidding, let's take care of your injuries." ”

Bulon said, "Are you sure your mind is not confused? Limping out will scare others. In my opinion, you should take good care of your injuries so as not to fall ill, which is the most important thing. ”

Four people, arguing over who went out.

Lyell alone became the target of the other three's crusade and was unanimously attacked.

Li Zhen smiled and watched the four people arguing, taking it as a joke. In order to get rid of the cage in their brains, the four of them have thrown away their old love, and it is best to be able to get out.

"Ahem! Cough!! ”

Li Zhen coughed lightly twice, and the four of them suddenly fell silent.

Bouron said, "Master Li, we haven't determined who will go out for the time being, please wait for a while." ”

Li Zhen waved his hand and said, "If you can't determine the person who goes out, I will appoint it." I think it is most appropriate for His Excellency to go out and persuade the merchants, because he has a wound in the leg, which is just right to impress the foreign merchants in the concession. Coupled with Raywell's identity, it will be more convenient to raise money. ”

"Thank you, Lord Lee!"

With excitement in her eyes, she immediately thanked her.

When the other three heard this, their eyes stared at Lywell like knives, as if they were going to kill They.

Li Zhen continued: "Raywell, I'll give you three days. After three days, if you don't raise 10,000,000 taels of silver, I'll throw Bao Ling, Bouron and Adams to the Eteri Mansion to pick up the guests. The three of them were insulted, and one of you was spared, and when I let them go, you should know the fate of not saving them. It's better to do it in three days, otherwise they're really going to be ducks. ”

When Bao Ling, Adams, and Bouron heard this, they looked at Rawell pleadingly.

Whether you can be a duck or not depends on the ability of Searle.
