At this moment, Lin Haijiang, who was sitting proudly in the teahouse on the side, was cross-legged and humming a small song that he didn't know where he heard it, at this time, a crisp but weak voice like a yellow bird said: "Uncle, please order a tune!" ”

"Ahh Lin Haijiang was slightly stunned, a girl who looked about eighteen or nine was wearing a coarse cloth skirt and squatted at herself, because the girl's head was too low, Lin Haijiang didn't see the girl's appearance clearly.

Seeing that Lin Haijiang was silent, a guard on the side just wanted to drive away the woman who was singing with a pipa, and a rotten tea cake flew past the girl's neck and hit Lin Haijiang's eyes impartially.

Several young men with oily heads and pink faces, wearing suit jackets and horse coats, went up and grabbed the girl, and said arrogantly: "Aren't you a son? Are you flying? You're flying! ”

At this time, a woman's drink came out of the private room on the side, and then the two women flashed out, looking at the clothes that were the official eunuch or the lady of a large family with a girl, the woman's willow eyebrows were upside down, and she was also heroic, especially her figure can be described as curvy, the big place is big, the small place is small, and the posture seems to have practiced martial arts?

One of the two devils said angrily: "Yo! Isn't this the daughter of Shen Daotai and Big Boss Shen? I can tell you, our brothers are parishioners, this little girl owes Father Thomas money, or you will pay it back for her? ”

"How much does she owe you?" The woman took out a pink purse and was ready to pay.

The second devil sneered and said, "Three thousand taels!" What do you think? ”

"What?" The woman seemed to be taken aback, although she knew that these two devils were talking about it, but the mouth of the laughing girl over there was covered by the people behind her and couldn't speak, and there were more than a dozen people on the other side.

The leading two devils saw that they had achieved their goal, so they waved their hands and were about to leave, when a cold voice said: "Stop for Lao Tzu, show me to the uncle, how can I count my eyes?" ”

When Miss Shen saw Lin Haijiang, who was wearing an official robe with a hat crookedly, and his right eye was black, he burst out laughing.

The captive girl knew that this official might be her only hope, so she struggled desperately, and the guy who bit her neck and strangled her rushed behind Lin Haijiang like a dexterous kitten.

Seeing that it was an official, a few second devils were not as arrogant as before, but they were still very disrespectful, and Lin Haijiang, who was used to being an official these days, suddenly forgot that this was not before the crossing, and overestimated his force value.

Immediately, a punch to the sky hit it, although it hit one, but several two devils and more than a dozen helpers who came with them rushed up, and several of them were still serious practitioners.

In the midst of Miss Shen's astonishment, Lin Haijiang, who was still heroic just now, was suddenly beaten to the ground.

The teahouse was like a pot, Lin Haijiang, who was being chased and beaten, jumped out from the second floor, and Zhang Zheng, Gao Qi and others, who were recruiting troops on the street, found out and hurriedly led their troops to relieve the siege and rescue.

Lin Haijiang, who had already been beaten to the point of blue nose and swollen face, pointed to a cadre in the building and waited: "Beat me, beat me to death!" Kill Lao Tzu! ”

More than 200 guards, together with hundreds of recruits who had not yet been assessed, also joined the scope of helping boxing, and it didn't take much effort to drag out the eighteen two devils who had been beaten insincerely and their thugs, and the city patrol camp found out that the people were involved, and they hid without a trace early.

The word "parishioner" is like a plague, and almost no one can afford to provoke it, because there are a few green-skinned gangsters in front, and the one who comes out in the back is a foreign adult.

On this day, it was also time for Father Thomas to recall, he saw that his loyal believers were gone, so he couldn't help but take people to look for them, and found that almost all of his loyal believers who had managed to develop with great difficulty went to see the merciful Lord, which made Thomas, who had become accustomed to arrogance and domineering, forget his true and humble identity.

He yelled in half-baked Chinese, and the Chinese people on the side, as always, watched all this as a monkey play.

"Where are you and what are the dogs called?"

At this time, Thomas heard someone scolding him in pure English, and when he turned around, he thought he had seen his own person, Thomas was stunned, a somewhat unrecognizable Chinese was forgetting him, and this Chinese seemed to be an official of the Qing Dynasty?

What puzzled Thomas even more was that the official of the Great Qing Kingdom put a metal medal in front of him and said, "Do you know?" ”

Thomas used to live a hungry meal when he was in England, and the badge in front of him was very similar to the medal worn by the nobles, where had Thomas seen any nobleman's medal in his humble status, but he still knew the symbol of the British crown in Lin Haijiang's hand, and he couldn't figure out the identity of the other party.

Lin Haijiang took advantage of the situation and said contemptuously: "You have to remember that you are just a humble little missionary, even in England I am much more noble than you, in this land you are just a passerby parasite, we are the masters of this land, you are nothing in front of us, not today, not before, and not in the future!" ”

"I'm in a pretty good mood today, and the next time I let me know that you're still doing such an immoral thing, I'll shoot you with one shot, and I don't believe Queen Victoria will pursue anything for your death!" Now you get the hell out of me! After speaking, Lin Haijiang slapped Thomas in the face.

In a burst of laughter, Thomas fled in despair, not even having the courage to pick up the shoes that had run away.

It took a while for Thomas to react? How could an official of the Qing Kingdom be the knight of the empire? The only possibility is that you have been fooled by someone for an idiot! Gritting his teeth, Thomas decided to get the field back.

"My name is Shen Yilan, thank you for your righteous action!" Miss Shen squatted slightly.

Then he said: "This is Caiyi, lonely, it is not suitable to stay with the son, I will take her back to the house by my own decision, please take care of the child." ”

Shen Yilan turned around and left with the colorful clothes, and Lin Haijiang also found out at this time that the colorful clothes looked very much like the Hong Kong movie star Zhang Min in the later generations? It's a bit of a fox, when the hero saves the beauty and ends up being beaten into a pig's head, the beauty slides in front of her, and she wants to stop Shen Yilan, but when she thinks about it in this era, it is equal to being thin, and being thin is equivalent to playing hooligan on the street, and the glorious image that he built up after being beaten by being beaten collapsed, Lin Haijiang was not so impulsive.

In the carriage on the way back, the maid beside Shen Yilan grinned and said, "Miss, the one who is an official today is really interesting, but he is still a garrison officer?" I was so anxious that I jumped down from the second floor. ”

Shen Yilan glared at the maid and said: "It's not a matter of good or bad skills, as long as there is a righteous breath in people's hearts, they can do right, and they can make righteous deeds such as pulling out their swords to help each other when the road is uneven, otherwise what is the use of good martial arts?" ”

The little maid pursed her lips and said, "Caiyi, look at Miss!" After just a few words with others, he turned to outsiders! ”

Yes? Caiyi buried her head lower in panic and shyness.

"Okay, you dead girl Xiaolan, I can't see if I don't teach you a lesson today!" Shen Yilan and Xiaolan had a quarrel in the carriage, because they ran out secretly today, so the carriage was also hired temporarily, and the handlebar type of the car shook helplessly in the face of the shaking body.

Lin Haijiang, who was about to go to the medical hall, was taken to the Liangguang Governor's Mansion by a team of Goshha from the Governor's Mansion, Ye Mingchen looked at Lin Haijiang, who had some pig's heads and pig brains, and laughed angrily.

Ye Mingchen saw Lin Haijiang's appearance of a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water and said: "The dignified five-grade guards fight with those street ruffians who are not in the stream? Still beaten like this? It's time for your men to punish and punish too! ”

Lin Haijiang bowed very respectfully and said: "Back to the Governor, the lowly position is recruiting subordinates, I believe that such things will not happen in the future, and the lowly position guarantees that the next time they are beaten like pigs, they must be foreign devils and two devils"!

"Two devils?" Ye Mingchen felt that Lin Haijiang's word was very accurate and appropriate, so he smiled slightly: "Now that the two places are complicated, the local government is not willing to involve more of these dogs who help and abuse them, so let's remember for the time being, sooner or later, we will completely liquidate them." ”

Ye Mingchen suddenly changed his words and said: "I'll ask you now, which monkey show did your dignified Dapeng guard sing on the streets of Guangzhou today?" Do you want to make a big fuss in the heavenly palace? My governor's mansion, Guangzhou City, is not the Lingxiao Treasure Palace. ”

Lin Haijiang said with a look of grievance: "The lowly position is also forced to be helpless, the actual number of soldiers in the second battalion allocated by Mukedenne and Lord Halder to the lowly position is only about thirty, and the rest are all smokers recruited the day before, and they can't hold the bowl when they eat!" Seeing the increasing number of refugees in the city, in order to take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble with the flood control bandits, the humble position first recruited all the young and strong among them, which was equivalent to controlling a group of them, giving them the money to settle down in the camp, and in disguised terms, it was equivalent to placing a group, so that even if there was instigation by the flood bandits, it would not have any effect, and the power that might have been used by the flood bandits would be turned into the power of the imperial court to fight the flood bandits. ”

"Oh!" Ye Mingchen looked at Lin Haijiang with glowing eyes, and Ye Mingchen really realized at this moment that he had really dug up a treasure!

Thinking of this, Ye Mingchen hesitated for a moment and said: "Ming said that the governor will negotiate with Yingyi, buy a batch of foreign guns and cannons for you, and allocate 200,000 taels of state silver to you, don't live up to the expectations of the governor!" ”

Lin Haijiang, who had unexpectedly gained benefits, suddenly said sonorously: "Swear allegiance to your lordship!" ”

Ye Mingchen, who was immersed in the joy of discerning people, didn't hear what Lin Haijiang was missing?

Lin Haijiang quietly removed the word "imperial court" in front of him, even if it was noticed, it didn't matter, because in history, since the Taiping Rebellion, the Qing court allowed local recruitment of militia groups and the beginning of training bravery, and the power of local governors began to quietly swell, just like the Hunan army, and later Beiyang towns, the trained officers and soldiers only recognized the officials of their own towns, and the emperor, prince, and president ignored them.

It can be said that this is the beginning of the era of warlords! History has quietly turned a new page in the turmoil.
