Liu Ying took Wu Yuan empty-handed into the small highland in the reeds.

Mei escaped from the tugboat port, but not from Zhouhu. Because Liu Ying set up a big pocket there. More than a hundred ships, more than two thousand people, blocked all exits. There was no way out for Mei, and she didn't want to get into it and got in.

Liu Ying did not give the order to attack, because Mei's party seemed to disappear after entering the small high ground.

On the one hand, there was an offensive without offense, and on the other hand, there was a defense without defense, and the two sides formed a confrontational situation, and no one dared to move.

Of course, the key is that Liu Ying didn't think about attacking at all, because no matter how you calculate it, now is not the time to expose your eyesight. Gathering so many people, deterring and muddying the waters is Liu Ying's purpose. Therefore, Liu Ying surrounded Mei's just to warn Liu that he was not casual. Since it is a deterrent, the time should not be too long, and there should be no excessive casualties.

"Mr. Mei, there is no malice in the bottom. Please also let me know. ”

Liu Ying arched his hand around, but there was silence all around, and half of the figure could not be seen. But because of this, Wu Yuan beside him was so nervous that his forehead was full of sweat.

"Liu Tie, the younger brother of the lower clan, still has a little thin face, and this incident will not make a big fuss. It's just that Mr. Mei was reckless, and in all the lesson plans, it was the country that suffered, not to mention that such a foreigner died this time. I think that's what Mr. Zhang doesn't want to see. ”

Liu Ying arched his hand, and the people who were surrounded had no intention of showing up, so he retreated. The flotilla circled the small high ground and headed for the tugboat dock.

Tugboat port, Yuan family. Even though it was raining, from a distance, it was still a fire, thick smoke rose into the air, and shouts of killing broke out. After that, smoke also rose from the direction of Liu's family press.

The breadth of the scope is reminiscent of previous bandits.

The residents who had escaped from the town began to run into the tugboat port again. Not far from the town, gunfire erupted.

Zhang Jinfu, who was still examining the body, looked up at the town that had fallen into chaos again.

"What's going on, let someone take a look."

Before he finished speaking, an injured patrolman ran back: "Lord Zhang, lake bandits, there are many lake bandits, they said that the Oriental people killed their people, and they came to take revenge." ”

Zhang Jinfu glanced at Xiao Tian: "How many?" ”

"There are a lot of people, there are people everywhere, there are hundreds of people coming to the town, and the Liu family and the Yuan family have already fought." The patrolman was so frightened that the corners of his mouth were not clear.

Zhou Rong asked, "Isn't it a group of people?" ”

"It doesn't seem like it, it's all in groups of three or five, but they have guns."

"There are guns, what guns?" Zhang Jinfu was excited.

"All kinds of guns, and earthen cannons."

Zhou Rong hesitated slightly, then saluted Zhang Jinfu and said, "You have to go back and prepare, Mr. Xiaotian, will you go with me to see Miss Qingzi, or will you go to Hankou with the warship." ”

Oda hesitated for a moment and said, "I need to protect the safety of His Highness Qingzi. ”

Kojima instructed the officers beside him, "Nakajima-kun, please bring His Excellency Yanagawa and his entourage back to Hankow, and I will personally explain the rest to His Highness Kiyoko." ”

In the willow forest on the bank of the river in Yunlong Town, Zhang Tian, who was hidden under camouflage, put down his binoculars and smiled.

"Grandma, they're acting."

The soldier holding the sniper rifle and his eyes on the sniper scope shook with his body shaking.

"Would you like to say hello to them?" The warrior flexed his finger.

Zhang Tianyi slapped him on the head. "Say hello, look, don't make a basket."

Whether it was acting or not, smoke rose from the entire area of Tugboat Harbor Town, and the shouts of killing shook the sky.

The Japanese soldiers subconsciously wanted to fight back on the spot. But the soldiers of the garrison battalion scattered them and had to retreat to the warship with a few corpses.

There were really people on the shore who dared to shoot at the warship, and even got an earthen cannon and fired a shot at the warship, and the iron sand and stones clanged on the armor of the warship. However, before the Japanese on the warship could counterattack, the attackers abandoned their earthen guns and hid behind the fields and crops.

The warship went down the river in such a chaotic harassment.

The sound of gunfire alarmed Kiyoko, who was already sitting at the table.

Zhang Chun and Lizhi just listened attentively, and then they were calm.

Liu Tie had a gloomy face, without a look of surprise.

Gu Ming threw down the bowl and stroked Gu Yue and Yuan Fang's heads. Call the guards and go out.

Kojima rushed to Xinyuan was slightly panicked. However, Kiyoko refused to go with Kojima to the Hankou Concession.

The events of the Orientals ended in a riot, either true or false.

Some families are fake suffering, such as the Yuan family and the Liu family. But many small families are really suffering. Most of their granaries were looted. Even Zhang Jinfu's temporary yamen was "captured", and the guns and ammunition were looted. The garrison held only half of the street near the dock. At least in Zhang Jinfu's opinion.

Only Zhang Tian, who was secretly observing, knew best, the gunshots everywhere were lively, and Zhang Jinfu also ran around with his personal guards, as long as he was there, you would fight back and forth. But he wasn't there, and the muzzle of the gun was not fired into the sky for a while. Some of the soldiers of the garrison camp actually squatted with the bandits and smoked cigarettes with each other.

What kind of drama is this?

Zhang Tian and Zhou Rong on the other side of the river were a little dumbfounded.

I have to say that Liu Ying's organizational skills are amazing.

Of course, I later learned that in order to solve the trouble caused by the Orientals, Li Mingyi made a note to Liu Ying.

This Li Mingyi's ruthless methods caused Liu Ying to dare not reuse him later. Because it was the Li family in Wangjiaji and Dali Village who really suffered the catastrophe. These two families are really dead, and the ones who are still dead are all parents. After the great disaster, Wang Jiaji collapsed, and Li Mingyi took control of the Li family.

Xiao Tian returned to Hankou alone, and Qingzi stayed in Liu's house. She said that since she married a Chinese, she is a Chinese daughter-in-law.

In this year, Yuan Chuanjian of the Yuan family and Liu Suzhen of the Liu family got married, and they were sent to Hankou Yang School to study together, using the relationship between Qingzi.

After the Tugboat Riot, Kiyoko left only one maid, and the rest of the entourage were sent back to Japan, and Oda was not allowed to send troops to protect him. This allowed Qingzi to earn a good reputation in Liu's family. faintly has the posture of Zhang Fenglan when she was in the Wu family.

Xinyuan.

Mei Shi and more than a dozen men and women sat silently in front of Zhang Chun.

This is the first time Zhang Chun has seen this hidden power. These people include hawkers, boatmen, butchers, veterinarians, and one or two large teapots that are even brothels.

"You didn't do anything wrong, it's just that the timing is not right, the means are wrong."

Liu Hui sat at the front, because even if Mei was intercepting and killing, he still used a place and method that made it difficult for people to catch the handle. rescued Liu Hui and was surrounded by Liu Ying, and did not let Liu Ying see the true face of a person. Liu Ying found it, Mei directly denied it, and Liu Ying had no choice.

Liu Hui is different, she is directly killed. It is not a question of denying or denying.

If it weren't for Zhang Tian's sniper response, Liu Hui's senses would not be able to dodge the bullets, no matter how sensitive she was. And even if Mei denied it, it would be difficult to escape suspicion.

"You go and follow these uncles and aunts, learn from them for a while, and then come back."

Liu Hui's head was lowered, and tears fell down the ground.

Zhang Chun sighed, looked up and said to Mei, "Aunt Mei, I didn't want to care about your affairs, and I knew that you were measured. But some things are not as simple as they seem. Acting without permission can be disastrous. The cost of quelling this incident and the associated losses are enormous, and they are not much lighter than the trouble of banditry. If a diplomatic incident is caused, then it is the country that is affected. ”

"Master Zhang, what do you say?"

Mei is not really the leader, but just a spiritual leader, and the real leader is an ordinary-looking boatman.

"Aunt Mei and Liu Hui are actually not suitable for being on the front line, there is no one in their family. Aunt Mei still stayed in Xinyuan. Liu Hui went out to hone it, and she still had to come back when the time came. If you do anything, it's best to report it to Aunt Mei, and report it to me and Lizhen. Discuss and try to be as safe as possible. But how, we don't care. We just care about what is appropriate and what is not. Who is needed to cooperate. ”

"That's fine."

"Several of them are seniors, it's okay to charge into battle a few times, but not for a long time, you have to bring some apprentices, but no matter who you are, you have to keep your identity secret. How many of the lake bandits in the lake have not been incorporated by the Liu family? ”

"Not much."

"I know that you are familiar with them, and if you can save them, try to save them as much as possible, and withdraw them to Nanzhang Street or Shazhou. There is a fishing ground there, and you can also go to Nanzhang Street to do serious business. Gambling # hall prostitute # yard big smoke # hall is absolutely not touchable. If I really want to touch it, I can only use military law. ”
