Chapter 22 The Rice Flag on the Yangtze River
"Who?" Yan Guang, who was lying down, asked.
"I don't know," the bodyguard outside the door hesitated. But he said you know him! ”
"Who could it be?" Yan Guang was a little puzzled, there were a lot of people who came to him for these words, not to mention the people sent by Shanghai Dao to inquire, Richard and Charlie, as well as people from Jardine Matheson, people from the British Consulate in Shanghai, but the most were reporters from major newspapers.
These reporters are simply pervasive, although Yan Guang has already paid 100 silver dollars for interviews, but in the face of the sensational news that has shocked the whole country, these enthusiastic reporters are still unable to stop.
However, Yan Guang quickly thought of Wang Er, because after returning to China, he knew quite few people, and the only people who could be called were Zhang Xingfeng, who returned to his hometown, and Zhou Zining, who lived in Sichuan...
"Let him in!" Thinking of Wang Er, Yan Guang hurriedly shouted out.
"Got it."
After a while, the door was opened, and it was Wang Er who walked in.
It's no wonder that the two bodyguards outside the door didn't know him, the moon was dark and the wind was high on the ship, and the lights in the cabin were very dim, the two of them couldn't see Wang Er's face clearly at all, and when Yan Guang caught up, the two of them rescued the passengers and sailors who were locked up in the back, so only Yan Guang and the two accountants knew Wang Er's true identity.
Now that they are no longer on the robbed river boat, the two accountants naturally took up their own business, running back and forth between Jardine Matheson and the dock, only these two bodyguards are still by Yan Guang's side.
"I thought you wouldn't come!" Seeing Wang Er walk in, Yan Guang hurriedly jumped off the bed.
Wang Er first looked at Yan Guang for a while, and then spoke after half a sound. "I didn't know where I should go after I went back, and finally I thought about it for a few days before I decided to come here to find you..." Are you really not afraid that I will shoot your black gun and avenge your brothers? ”
"Don't worry, I can trust you as a person, if you want to seek revenge from me, you will definitely come in person, not from behind!" Yan Guang smiled and patted Wang Er's shoulder, he had already seen from the time he was on the river wheel that this was a person with principles and a bottom line, and such a person generally would not be too bad as long as the bottom line was not too low, even if he was a bad person.
Of course, with time, a person's principles and bottom line will also change, but Yan Guang believes that even if there are many people who want to kill themselves at that time, there will be fewer people who dare to do it than Bai Ji Dolphin.
Wang Er just shook his head and smiled bitterly when he heard Yan Guang's words, sometimes he really wanted to continue to be an ordinary hunter, so that he didn't need to experience those unpleasant things.
But at this time, Yan Guang came up and smiled mysteriously at Wang Er.
"Do you think I don't look like the kind of person who can change the fate of the whole of China?"
"......" Wang Er just looked at him with a look at a psychopath.
“…… Well, I know your answer..."
――――――――――
When Yan Guang handed over the last shell gun he used to make three-gun shrimp to Wang Er, Wang Er became Yan Guang's first personal bodyguard and the first real confidant.
At this time, no one knew that the person who appeared behind Yan Guang was one of the masterminds of the Jianglun hijacking case that caused a sensation across the country, and even the main victim Richard didn't know, only Yan Guang's two accountants and...
The young woman on the river?
However, since Jiang Lun's farewell, Yan Guang has never seen this woman again, so he didn't take it seriously.
The two accountants almost sat on the ground in fright when they saw Wang Er appear next to Yan Guang, worried that Wang Er's identity as a bandit would be discovered all day long, and waited until Yan Guang and they had returned to Sichuan on a freighter before they could relax.
With the arrival of Wang Er, Yan Guang's last thing in Shanghai was completed, and then there was naturally no reason to stay in Shanghai, although Yan Guang wanted to comfort some technical workers in Shanghai before leaving, but in consideration of the majesty in front of his subordinates, Yan Guang finally chose to give up, of course, there is no thief is also one of the main reasons.
Because it was back to Sichuan with the machine, Yan Guang did not take the passenger ferry back this time, but chose to go back with the freighter, when all the machines were loaded onto the freighter, Yan Guang and Wang Er also came to the boarding gate to say goodbye to the people who came to see them off.
"Yan, don't forget to come to me for tea next time you come to Shanghai..."Richard patted Yan Guang on the shoulder, and Charlie on the side just smiled because he was not very familiar with Yan Guang.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely come to you." Hammered Richard, and Yan Guang laughed too. "Goodbye then, guys." He arched his hand at them.
After boarding the ship, Yan Guang waved to the people on the dock until the whistle blew and the ship left the dock.
"Whew..."Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Yan Guang turned his head and asked Wang Er. Do you play mahjong? ”
“……”
Although this time it was a freighter, there were still cabins for the guests, and they were much better than the six-person cabins of the Yichang ship they took when they came, so Yan Guang and them were quite comfortable when they arrived.
But...
"British..."Looking at the British gunboat passing by the freighter, Yan Guang's heart was a little complicated.
The hijacking of the river ship in Hekou Town and Fuchi Town shocked the entire Yangtze River basin, and neither the Manchu government nor the British could have imagined that such a thing would happen to the Yangtze River, which was originally considered to be very safe.
So while pursuing this case, the Manchu political axe and the British also began to conduct a dragnet search in the Yangtze River, and decided to clean up all the miscellaneous fish that were originally ignored, so those water bandits who only made a living by robbing fishing boats and small merchant ships were completely implicated by Ruan Qi.
And the British gunboats that had just passed by were sent by the British, and this time the British gunboats were to patrol the first half of the Yangtze River, and the second half was in charge of the Manchu political axe...
It is already a shame to let the warships of other countries go unimpeded in the rivers of their own country, and now they still want to let the warships of other countries go to suppress bandits...
"Yan, are you alright?" The first mate on the freighter saw that Yan Guang's face was a little ugly, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked.
The captain and first mate of this freighter and other sailors, many of whom knew Richard, had a gentle attitude towards Yan Guang.
"It's okay..."Yan Guang shook his head.
"Don't worry, the British Empire has sent warships to patrol the Yangtze River, and this voyage will be very safe." As he spoke, the first mate also pointed to the gunboat that had just passed by.
"Really..."Yan Guang grinned, smiling reluctantly.
Then the first mate patted Yan Guang on the shoulder and went on with his work, leaving only Yan Guang and a few others still standing on the deck.
"Boss, are you alright?" After the first mate left, several other people gathered around.
"It's fine." Yan Guang shook his head, just looking at the British gunboat flying the rice flag.
