Lin Yuan continued: "The waterway was built by us Chinese, and when we built the waterway, didn't we need to spend money to buy various raw materials?" If we find someone to build the waterway, don't we need to pay the wages? All of this costs money! Then who pays for the money, of course, who benefits and who pays, the beneficiary is your foreign merchant ship, who will pay if you don't pay? ”

Lin Yuan's words made Antoine grit his teeth, and he said hatefully: "I also understand what you mean, you are just cleverly collecting money, you have guns in your hands, I can't fight you, we just pay the money, but I won't give in like this!" I will definitely appeal this matter to the ambassador of our country! ”

Antoine then ordered his subordinates to bring the money, Lin Yuan asked people to accept the money, and then issued a receipt to Antoine, Antoine smiled coldly, tore the receipt into pieces in front of Lin Yuan, and threw it on the ground.

This action was clearly a provocation, and the soldiers around Lin Yuan were on fire, and they were just about to rush up to teach Antoine a lesson, Lin Yuan stretched out his hand and said, "No need, let him tear it, he is in the back when he is uncomfortable, dare to tear my things in front of me, and see how I clean him up for a while." ”

Lin Yuan led everyone to get off the ship, returned to the coast guard ship, and then continued to cruise on the sea, at this moment, I saw a medium-sized cargo ship sailing in the distance, the British flag fluttering on the ship, Lin Yuan pointed with his hand, and said, "Let's go, let's go to that ship." ”

This British merchant ship was very obedient, heard the sound of Lin Yuan's megaphone and stopped, and when Lin Yuan got on the ship, he found that all the people standing on the deck were Chinese, and at this moment, a strong middle-aged man came out of the cabin, knelt down in front of Lin Yuan, and said: "The villain is the captain of this ship, I don't know what happened to this adult?" ”

Lin Yuan trembled vigorously when he saw this person kneeling on the ground, and knew that this person was an honest man who was afraid of officials, so he helped him up and asked, "Are you the owner of this ship?" ”

The man nodded repeatedly, and a soldier on the side said angrily: "You Chinese, how can you hang the British flag on the ship!" ”

The captain was so frightened by the soldier that he didn't dare to speak, and he apologized again and again, Lin Yuan said: "You can't blame him, many times it will be convenient to register as a British ship." ”

Lin Yuanchong smiled at the shipowner: "After you arrive at the port, go to the 'China Ship Standardization Center' and register there, you will be our Chinese ship, so that you can pay a lot less when you enter and leave Yingkou Port." ”

The captain nodded, Lin Yuan got off the ship, inspected two more British ships, collected the channel usage fee, and returned to the port at noon, entered the dock, and just saw the wind speed cargo ship docked on the dock, and many workers were moving the goods on the ship.

The soldier on the side said to Lin Yuan: "The captain of this Wind Speed is too arrogant, Lin Shuai, you have to find a way to punish him well!" ”

Lin Yuan smiled: "I have thought about it a long time ago, you come with me." After Lin Yuan finished speaking, he asked people to park the ship on the dock, and then led people down from the boat and walked straight to the edge of the Wind Speed, and the foreign crew on guard saw that Lin Yuan was about to get on the ship, and stopped him as soon as he stretched out his hand, and said: "We are loading and unloading goods, and no one is allowed to approach." ”

Lin Yuan frowned, and scolded fiercely: "Blind things, I'm going to get on the boat to check and get out of the way." ”

The foreign crew relied on their own tall horses, and they blocked the edge of the gangplank to prevent Lin Yuan from going up, Lin Yuan waved his hand lightly, and a few soldiers rushed up behind him to press the crew to the ground, Lin Yuan then took a few soldiers to the boat, Antoine was handing over the payment with the comprador of the foreign bank at this time, heard the noise outside, and hurriedly walked out, and the comprador also followed.

Antoine was taken aback when he saw Lin Yuan, and said, "Why are you again?" ”

Lin Yuan saw that there was an extra Chinese beside Antoine, so he asked, "Who is that person next to you?" How is it still a Chinese? ”

When the Chinese heard this, he immediately stepped forward and said to Lin Yuan in a stern manner: "I am no longer Chinese, I have long since become a British citizen, and now I am British." ”

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "Another guy who has forgotten his ancestors, such a person is much more hateful than foreign devils." Lin Yuan asked again, "What are you doing?" Why haven't I seen you the last time I got on the boat? ”

The fake foreign devil said, "My name is Konnick? Su, I am the comprador of the British Swire & Co., and I am responsible for the trade between our British and you Chinese in the Yingkou area. ”

Lin Yuan suddenly thought of Xu Linxiang's sale of bristles, so he said to Connick: "Did Xu Linxiang's bristles sell to you?" ”

Connick was taken aback and said, "How do you know the way?" ”

Lin Yuan ignored him, but looked at Antoine and said, "I'm here to collect the channel usage fee, and in addition, your ship type does not meet the standards of our ship standardization center, so according to the regulations, another port entry fee will be charged." ”

Antoine said angrily: "Didn't you take it all? ”

Lin Yuan wondered, "When did I receive it?" ”

Antoine's face turned blue with anger, and he pointed at Lin Yuan's nose and said angrily: "I have never seen such a scoundrel as you, you just got on my ship this morning and collected hundreds of thousands of dollars from me, and it hasn't been five hours yet, why don't you admit it." ”

Connick sneered on the side: "Captain is angry, they Chinese are this virtue!" ”

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "When have I ever been on your boat?" ”

Connick said from the side: "You just said it yourself, you said that you didn't see me when you got on the ship, why did you forget it after so long." ”

Lin Yuan nodded and said, "Oh, I also remembered when you said this, it turns out that I really got on your boat, but did you pay the money?" I don't remember a little, and as you know, the governor is very busy every day, and I won't take these little things to heart. ”

Antoine's nose was crooked when he heard this, and he pointed at Lin Yuan's nose and scolded: "Little things, you said these are small things!" I gave you almost three hundred thousand pounds of money, and you even said it was a trifle. ”

Lin Yuan patted his head, made a sudden realization, and then said with a smile: "There is no basis for what you say, so let's do it, I will give a receipt after collecting the money, what about your receipt?" Show it to me, and if you have a receipt, it means that you have indeed paid the money. ”

But the receipt has been torn to pieces by Antoine and thrown away, where to find it? Antoine remembered Lin Yuan's words at this time: Let him tear it, he is behind when he is uncomfortable! Antoine realized that Lin Yuan had planned this matter since he tore up the receipt.

Antoine was speechless, Lin Yuan frowned coldly, and said: "Okay, if you don't pay the fee, you have to deliberately deceive the official, if you don't punish it heavily, it will be difficult to establish authority, come here!" ”

The soldiers behind Lin Yuan saw that Lin Shuai had beaten Antoine hard, not to mention how relieved they were, so the answer of this "to" was extremely loud.

Lin Yuan said loudly: "You go to the cabin to search, search out the silver and pounds, and if it is not enough, we will detain the goods on the ship." ”

Antoine was in a hurry, opened his arms in front of the cabin, and said, "We really don't have any money!" ”
