In the evening of the same day, when Lu Hong returned to the temporary residence, he unexpectedly saw the gray-haired half-old man Feng Hesheng chatting with Chen Huan, He Dingyi, and Du Wenlan, the leaders of the Yongying team, quite speculatively.

Seeing that Lu Hong was back, Chen Huan and the three of them immediately jumped up, sang a song with Feng Hesheng, and quickly ran over to make a military salute, and Du Wenlan, the captain of the three squads who stayed in the official residence, reported first, "My lord, Rong Qing came to you in a hurry just now, and he went out again, I see that he is mysterious, I don't know what the hell he is doing!" ”

Lu Hong sighed thoughtfully, this Rongqing went to the yamen to find news, and it seemed that there was some news, but he also made some important discoveries by wandering along the Huangpu River to the north of the concession today, but now the news he got is a little fragmented, and he can't even determine the entry point of the military discipline of the supervising sailor.

According to the rules of the Qing Customs, opium was called foreign medicine in this era, and each box of opium was levied a revenue tariff of 30 taels and a foreign medicine of 80 taels...... But the problem is that this kind of thing is too difficult to sit down, and this may have to let Rongqing have to go around more relationships and find clues!

And Chen Huan and He Ding also took people to various wharves on the Huangpu River to inquire about whether there were any warships that often berthed, but there were no clues, but at the old Chengou Wharf on the Bund, he heard a ship boss say that the warships of the sailors often entered and exited the wharf of the British Filip Foreign Company.

He nodded, "Wen Lan, you stay behind these days, if there is a telegram from Lord Wang's side, you must send someone out to inform me as soon as possible...... Also, you have to keep an eye on the practice of the bunnies during the day! ”

"Yes...... Be...... My lord, there is one more thing I almost forgot! Du Wenlan replied loudly, this guy is a real man, but he can't see any expression, but when he was in a hurry, he was a little staggered to speak, "My lord, there is another thing, I almost forgot, there was a poor and sour person who came here before, saying that he was going to visit Qincha, and I heard that the adult was not there, so I left a letter here!" ”

As a result, Du Wenlan found an unsealed letter from the house, Lu Hong was a little strange, and after opening it, he immediately beckoned, "Ouyang Hao, Chen Huan, you two go out with me, He Dingyi and Du Wenlan are waiting for news here, Rong Qing is here, let him wait for me to come back in the house!" ”

Out of the door, Lu Hong called a carriage and went straight to the [***] road to the south, it was almost dark before he arrived at the ground, on the way he had already taken out the letter to Ouyang Hao and Chen Huan, the person who left the letter claimed to have important news about the investigation of the Qincha, but the letter was ominous, and it didn't even mention the news about something...... This is somewhat suspicious, after all, Wang Renkan's investigation of the smuggling of the Nanyang Navy Division is still in a state of secrecy among the entourage.

However, Lu Hong naturally will not let go of this channel, and the reason why he did not hesitate at all is because at present, the investigation has actually made no progress, and if it is a trap by the top level of Nanyang officers, it seems completely unnecessary, after all, it is far wiser to cover up the truth than to deliberately expose it!

And the address given by the other party was obviously much beyond Lu Hong's expectations, because there was a column of hot gold plaques hanging on a large Chinese-style attic at the door, with the word "Zhang Yuan" written on it, and when he entered the gate of this attic, there was another cave inside, and after a while, he found the place where the other party met - Haitian Sheng.

This place turned out to be a theater garden! When Lu Hong got out of the carriage and was thinking about how to find someone, he saw that a gentleman-like person inside had already walked up quickly, "Your guest is here to see a fashionable child's play today?" Is there a reservation available? Today, the Ma family opera troupe that is resounding all over Beijing is here to perform the scene of "Snow Sweeping at the Gate of Heaven"!"

Lu Hong frowned, he really hadn't heard of this scene, as a descendant, he really couldn't bear this quintessence, and he often had a grudge against it, he waved his hand, Ouyang Hao had already handed over the letter with him, the gentleman looked at the stamp on the envelope, and immediately smiled: "It turned out to be a distinguished guest invited by the fourth prince, please come with me!" ”

What kind of place is this, Lu Hong has actually thought of it, this place is also famous in later generations, I didn't expect that after I crossed over, I would be able to see the famous Zhang Yuan scenery of Shanghai Tang, but ...... The Huo Yuanjia Huo Daxia who made this Zhang Yuan famous seems to be still practicing hard in Cangzhou, Hubei......

And this garden, now has long been one of the most famous gardens in Shanghai, the right person to build this garden is Shuhe, that is also a well-known figure among modern Chinese industrialists, this fourth son, obviously not a simple character, otherwise there would not be a lot of fame in this garden...... And in fact, Lu Hong soon found that he was thinking too outrageously!

This Haitian Shengfu was originally a large theater with a Western-style appearance, but the guy who led the way took Lu Hong directly to the second floor, and soon gave tea in a living room that was definitely Western-style, that is, half a minute later, the main owner had already appeared at the door, and it was indeed a young man who was dressed very orthodox in this era.

Compared to Lu Hong, the age is about the same, melon skin hat, flowing gold satin horse coat, this man called the fourth young master obviously saw Lu Hong at a glance after coming in, and the poor acid that Du Wenlan said before was obviously the man in his forties behind the fourth young master, wearing a gray robe.

Lu Hong arched his hand and said politely: "Fourth young master, in Xia Lu Hong, I am doing things for Lord Qinchawang, and I am here to visit!" ”

The fourth young master also smiled politely, arched his hand and made a gesture to sit down, and then, the middle-aged scholar with a poor and sour appearance walked up, "You are Lu Yunju, look up for a long time...... In Xia Hu Danqiu, it was me who went to the house to deliver the letter in the morning, my family boss and Mr. Wang are also old acquaintances, Lu Yunjuan's knowledge, Hu Mouke has also heard Sheng Gong mention it, and he admires it tightly! ”

To tell the truth, Lu Hong regretted a little regret not bringing Qin Tianmin's house at this time, he definitely didn't expect that the person who came to submit the book had such a deep officialdom background, this middle-aged scholar was obviously the staff of this family, listening to the tone of his words, it was definitely not an ordinary official eunuch's family, since he was called the boss, it was obviously a noble position, and when he mentioned Sheng Gong in Shanghai, he immediately thought of who it was - except for that Sheng Xuanhuai, there was anyone else in the late Qing Dynasty who could be called so in Shanghai!

Who is this young man? Who is this Hu Danqiu? Lu Hong is in the middle of the world at the moment, and he can now be sure that these two people should be from the Huai system, but they can be called the boss in the Huai military system...... In fact, he only thinks of Li Hongzhang, but Li Hongzhang doesn't seem to have so many sons! Could it be that history has gone astray because of its own crossings?
