Chapter 20: Captain Richard

Yan Guang's words didn't feel anything, but he shocked Wang Er and the two accountants.

"You just shot me in the shoulder, and five brothers died in infighting, and now you want me to go under your hands, aren't you afraid that I will shoot you in the back?" Wang Er couldn't help but ask.

"Of course not...... That's weird, didn't you just say that? You don't hate anyone. Yan Guang didn't care.

At this time, there was another burst of gunfire on the passenger ship, thinking that the remnants of the bandits and Yan Guang's bodyguards who stayed behind to save people ran into each other.

"You're not afraid?" Wang Er couldn't believe it.

"It's weird that I've said it all." Yan Guang was a little impatient. "The shot in your shoulder was fired by your original boss, and the five brothers were all done by your original accomplices, and I also said to my two subordinates when I shot them, don't beat your five brothers, if you want to seek revenge on me, then I have nothing to say."

Listening to Yan Guang's words, the two accountants sweated in their hearts at the same time. "What a fallacy..."

Wang Er also had a feeling that he had nothing to say, it was obviously this guy who had harmed him so badly, but now he actually looked reasonable.

"Okay, okay, I've already said it, it's up to you whether you want to come to me or not." As he spoke, Yan Guang took out a handful of oceans from his pocket and stuffed them into Wang Er's hand. "This money will be used as medical expenses, and then I will go to Shanghai to run errands, if you really want to help me, go to the Chase Hotel in Shanghai to find me."

As he spoke, Yan Guang pointed to the river outside the guardrail. "Can I swim to the other side?"

"......," Wang Er replied after a moment of silence. Yes. ”

"That's good, I'll tell the people on the boat that you've been killed by me, so don't worry."

Shook his somewhat confused head. "Thank you." No matter what Yan Guang did just now, at least he did let himself live now, although he felt that this guy was a little inexplicable, but Wang Er still had a little gratitude in his heart.

"If you really want to thank me, come and help me do things, I'll stay at the Chase Hotel for a while, come to me when you think about it."

Wang Er didn't answer, but just jumped over the guardrail and into the river.

"Poof", Wang Er has disappeared.

"Whew..."Yan Guang exhaled. God of Travel, whether I have that ox qi or not depends on this time. Thinking so in his heart, Yan Guang raised his pistol and fired four or five shots at the river.

After firing the shot, Yan Guang turned his head to the two accountants. "After a while, the people on the boat came and said that I killed the bandits when they climbed over the guardrail, and the body fell into the river and was washed away."

"Understood." The two accountants nodded.

They didn't have the idea of denouncing Yan Guang at all, because as long as they were in their right minds, what had just happened would never be believed by a person with a normal mind, except for Yan Guang's abnormal mind.

"Okay, come back with me." As he spoke, Yan Guang put on the bullet again. "I don't know if there are any remnants of the bandits, be careful later."

"Hmm..."

After returning home, Yan Guang found that there were several more corpses on the deck, including bandits, passengers and sailors, and after a little questioning, he learned that after he left, several more bandits ran over to see what was going on, but they were surrounded by sailors and passengers who had escaped. Because there were more than a dozen guns on the ground in the infighting just now, the sailors and passengers were not bare-handed, but when they eliminated all the bandits, they were also dragged on the back of those bandits.

After a moment of silence for the hapless guys, Yan Guang asked the two bodyguards. "You're all right, are you?"

"It's fine." The two bodyguards shook their heads, and the remaining bandits all used bird guns, and only one of them was made by Hanyang, which posed no threat to them at all.

At this time, the captain of the Yichang ship came over.

The captain was a middle-aged white man in his forties, and he looked pretty good, but at this time, the captain's hat was gone, his face was swollen, and his clothes were wrinkled and looked very embarrassed.

"Thank you." After walking in front of Yan Guang, the captain said in very stiff Chinese with a grateful face.

Then there was a flurry of English, and a Chinese sailor next to him was very consciously standing beside him, ready to act as an interpreter.

It seems that although this captain can also speak Chinese, he obviously only knows one or two sentences.

Shaking his head with a smile, Yan Guang replied in English that was much more proficient than when he came. "You're welcome."

Hearing that Yan Guang could also speak English, the captain seemed very excited, and immediately said a lot of words, not to mention the Chinese passengers around him, even the Chinese sailor who acted as his translator couldn't understand it.

Fortunately, Yan Guang's few months in the United States were not in vain, although the captain in front of him was an Englishman, but Yan Guang could still understand it clearly.

It turns out that this guy's name is Richard. Wizman, who had just arrived from England, was working in China for the first time. It's just that when he was unlucky tonight when he was patrolling the bridge, he was knocked down with the butt of a rifle by the bandits who suddenly rushed in, and when he came to his senses, he was already tied up and sturdy under the control of the two bandits.

After sobering up, this guy still wanted to play the true colors of John Bull, and called and called with the two bandits who were guarding him, but unfortunately although the two bandits couldn't understand what he said, they also knew that it was definitely not good, so without saying a word, he picked up the shotgun and cleaned him up...

After being cleaned up, Richard was much more honest, listening to the gunshots from all over the passenger ship, his heart was quite desolate, but just when he thought that the passenger ship would be looted, and it was even very likely that he would be captured as hostages by these water bandits for ransom, Yan Guang and they fell from the sky to eliminate most of these water bandits, and rescued them from the control of the water bandits.

When he said this, Richard burst into tears, and when he pounced, he wanted to hug Yan Guang and kiss him, but he was kicked aside by Yan Guang.

"If you want to kiss me, wait until you change your surname in your next life!" said so, but Yan Guang was not very angry, and he had lived in the United States for a while, of course he knew the habits of these white people, what is the kiss on the face, there are all kisses on the mouth...

Well, it's disgusting to say ...

Richard didn't care if he was kicked by Yan Guang, he already knew that kisses were not popular in China before he came to China, not to mention that Yan Guang was also his savior.

"By the way, I heard that you just went to chase a water bandit who ran away, how about it? Didn't get hurt, right? Richard asked with some concern.

"Nothing." Yan Guang shook his head. "That bandit was injured before, I just gave him a few shots when he jumped over the guardrail, and I guess his body is floating on the river now."

The people around naturally didn't know that the bandit was let go by Yan Guang, and the two accountants knew it, but unfortunately they didn't know English and didn't know what Yan Guang and the foreigner were talking about.

"That damn water bandit, hell is the best place for him." Richard scolded indignantly, and spit two mouthfuls of saliva into the river after scolding. "Yan, go to my room, I have the best black tea there, I must thank you well this time."

"No, I'll go to the cabin with my companion to rest first, I won't be able to sleep after drinking tea, if you have anything to do, you can come to the cabin to find me."

"Okay." Richard nodded.

When passing by the young woman, Yan Guang glanced at the most beautiful woman he had seen since coming to the end of the Qing Dynasty, at this time the young woman had already woken up, holding the boy's corpse and crying, even though the white brain had already stained her body.

"Alas, the festival mourns and changes...", he wanted to pat her on the shoulder, but considering that men and women could not kiss him, Yan Guang withdrew his hand.

After returning to the cabin, Yan Guang asked the two temporary bodyguards to continue carrying the guns, and then retrieved another barge gun from the accountant's hand, which was made by Yan Guang as a trophy.

After sending Yan Guang away, Richard took his surviving sailors to search the ship with guns, and only went to rest after making sure that there were no living sailors on the ship.

The ship was attacked by water bandits, and the Yichang ship naturally could not continue to advance towards Shanghai, so after arriving at Fuchi Town, the ship stopped and notified the local government.

The local government was also surprised to learn about the Yichang ship, and hurriedly sent people from the yamen to check, and after learning that it was Yan Guang and the three of them who eliminated those water bandits, the government also sent five hundred silver dollars as a reward.

Five hundred silver dollars, less is less, Yan Guang still accepted it unceremoniously, after all, bullets also cost money.

However, what worries Yan Guang is that if the government wants to investigate the case, it may let the Yichang ship stay in Fuchi Town for a while, if so, I am afraid that the trip will be delayed.

Fortunately, after negotiations, Richard handed over the bodies of the bandits to the government, which in turn sent some coffins to place the passengers and sailors who had unfortunately died, and the Yichang ship was to take the coffins to Shanghai.

After arriving in Shanghai after a few days of sailing, Shanghai Road, the British Consulate, and Jardine Matheson, who had already learned the news by telegram, all sent people to the port, accompanied by a large number of journalists.

After docking at the dock, the people of Shanghai Dao and Jardine Matheson first carried down the bodies of the passengers and sailors on board, and then offered condolences to the survivors, and of course, Yan Guang, the hero.

As in Fuchi Town, Shanghai Road, the British Consulate and Jardine Matheson also commended Yan Guang, but unfortunately although their hands were larger than those in Fuchi Town, they were also limited, and the only thing that interested Yan Guang was the free ferry ticket of Jardine Matheson. According to Jardine Matheson, as long as the company still exists for one day, Yan Guang can use this special ticket to ride Jardine Matheson ships for free, first class!

"Yan, anyway, thank you really for this time, if you need me for anything, you must come to me." As he was leaving, Richard took his hand and said with gratitude on his face.

"It's nothing..."Yan Guang shook his head, if it weren't for the infighting between Ruan Qi and Wang Er, he would just stand by and watch.

"By the way, you said you were going to stay in Shanghai for a while, right?"

"That's right."

"Then we'll definitely meet," Richard smiled mysteriously.

After saying goodbye to Richard and the others, Yan Guang smiled at several of his men. "Anyway, we're at least worth the ticket price this time."

A few people didn't understand the joke of this sentence at all, but they still laughed along.

At this time, Yan Guang didn't notice that there were more than a dozen people quietly following him behind him...
