Ouyang Hao and He Dingyi, the leader of the second team, were naturally not idle, and the task was still quite tricky, Lu Hong arranged for the two of them to investigate the wharves along the Huangpu River, and now there are at least sixteen or seventeen wharves in the waterfront areas along the Sixteen Pu, the British Concession, and the French Concession, some of which are just barge wharves, and some can be directly used for customs clearance and inspection.

And when the two of them went out, they also specially changed into businessmen's clothes, temporarily pretending to be northern businessmen who had just come to Shanghai to do business, which was reasonable, they were naturally the focus of the investigation, and a group of subordinates were not wasted, all of them were sent out to inquire about the news, after all, there would not be too much news.

Just when Ouyang Hao was exploring along the Huangpu River, Lu Hong had already visited Huang Zuluo of Shanghai Daotai on the way, and the bearded old man was very polite to Lu Hong, who was holding the Qincha document, but when he heard Lu Hong's request, his old face stiffened violently, and after pondering for a moment, he asked: "Lu Yunju is going to the Customs and Excise Department to verify some tariff accounts?" ”

"Lord Huang, that's exactly the case, it's a matter of the emperor's dispatch, and I have to deal with it carefully, if you can recommend a few officials who are familiar with this customs affairs, Lord Wang will be grateful!" Lu Hong smiled slightly, his identity today was not the judgment of the six grades, but on behalf of the Qincha Wang Renkan to inform about this matter.

If you want to take the handle of the Nanyang sailors, you will naturally dig deep into the collusion between the Nanyang sailors and the local authorities, after all, the most convenient thing for the sailors is customs clearance and tax evasion, if the goods are transported into the customs, they will be sold, which is obviously not a good idea...... Therefore, it is naturally necessary for the Customs and Excise Department to come here.

Huang Zuluo wrinkled his old face, and brushed his beard at least four or five times, before he sighed and said: "Lu Yunju, it's not that I don't want to support this matter, it's just that although the chief and deputy envoys of the Customs Department are all documents signed by me, it is difficult to say half a word...... If you want to check this account, I'm afraid you'll have to ask Lord Chincha to consult with Nahd! ”

Lu Hong smiled in his belly, and secretly ridiculed the dead old man, the matter of the Customs and Excise Department, he naturally inquired clearly, this Huang Zuluo did not tell a lie, however, this guy is still hiding private, the Customs and Excise Department is set up in the Shanghai official office, although Hurd certainly does not look down on these Shanghai Daotai who come and go, but, nominally, the Customs and Excise Department exercises its power and accesses the customs account books, but Shanghai Daotai still has jurisdiction, however, more than 30 years later, The British have long regarded the Shanghai Daotai as a decoration.

However, he didn't regard this rule as an ornament, he leaned in front of Huang Zuluo, whispered a few words, and immediately made the old man Huang feel relieved, and in a flash, an official document signed by Shanghai Daotai to check the customs account books had been put into Lu Hong's pocket, and half an hour later, Lu Hong had already walked into the customs building located in the British Concession and on the Huangpu River, which was just completed last year.

In fact, when he came down from the Bund Pier earlier, Lu Hong noticed this building that was quite similar to the Customs Building of later generations, but at the door, they were stopped by several people......

"You Ruo Bramis" led by a tall Indian Asan, beckoning to Lu Hong, looking arrogant, muttering something in his mouth.

Lu Hong was naturally a little depressed, he didn't wear an official robe when he came out, he always felt that he couldn't get used to wearing that thing, and Ouyang Hao behind him was also dressed in civilian clothes...... The devil understands that!

Just as Lu Hong was thinking about how to communicate with these two Indian Sikh buns, the two Indian patrolmen actually took off the wooden baton hanging from their waists, and shouted at Lu Hong again, and even waved the wooden stick, and the demonstrator roared!

This immediately made Lu Hong frown, these Indian patrols in the British Concession, he naturally knew as a traverser that these guys were later called "Indian Red-headed Ah San" by the Chinese people, the most important thing is that the red on their heads, like a hat like an X, and the British chose the Indian patrol police, all of whom are required to be the kind of beard of the Sikhs, tall and big, and with a big beard...... It looks scary, but in fact, they are still a group of spineless minions!

“getout!” Lu Hong finally only threw out this sentence in English, it seems that the words "get out" should be very familiar to these Indian Ah San who have become slaves.

An Indian patrol led by "Fake Squid ......" finally came up with a sentence that Lu Hong could understand, and at the same time, he immediately rushed up waving a stick.

This made Lu Hong's face black immediately, we didn't need to "get out" with such a heavy tone as "**off", I didn't expect these two Indian hammers to do it directly, he didn't hesitate at all, and immediately took two steps, one side to avoid the Indian barbarian's head, and both fists also slammed into the opponent's chest at the same moment.

Chinese It is said that for their loyalty, the British even paid them twice as much as the Chinese patrol, and scolding Chinese was already a bad habit developed by these Indian patrols!

However, they clearly paid the price for their past and present evil deeds, and the demonstrator was ready to give the two disobedient Chinese in front of him a blow, but the stick he swung out did not hit the other party at all, and two heavy punches and a very sharp elbow immediately made him lie on the ground like one.

The other was hit by Ouyang Hao's flying leg and a few coherent combination punches, his face immediately swollen, and when he was angry and ready to resist, he was smashed directly on the back of the head by a heavy side kick again, and he fell down in a daze.

Lu Hong and Ouyang Hao fought back with a bright rhythm and a ruthless attack, and after half a minute, they let the two tall and evil-looking Indian patrols lie at the door of the Customs and Excise Department on all fours, but a group of patrols can be attracted here......

And after this group of patrols appeared, they were stunned to see the unlucky appearance of the two Indian Ah San lying on the ground, and even a piece of red hat with their surname was knocked to the ground, and one of the older patrols looked at the two suspects in front of him who seemed to have no intention of leaving, and hurriedly arched his hands and asked politely: "What are you two doing?" ”
