976 Ministry of Works
Lin Yuan swept it out of the corner of his eye, and saw that Leyson was holding a revolver in his hand, his fingers pressed on the trigger, and the cold thing against his head was the muzzle of the pistol!
Lin Yuan thought to himself: "It's the first time that someone has pointed a gun at the head!" There were so many windy Langs on the battlefield, but I didn't expect to capsize in this small gutter. Lin Yuan didn't move when he thought about countermeasures, and then he heard Liu Linxiang say with a crying voice: "My God, what is this for?" Hurry up and put the gun down! ”
Leyson said angrily: "Lin Yuan, I don't allow you to take these people away!" ”
Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Mr. Leyson, you also know who I am, can you benefit from killing me?" ”
Leyson said angrily: "Then you can't care! ”
Lin Yuan smiled: "Aren't they just teenage female workers in their forties?" How much did you pay for it? Won't I just give you money? ”
Leyson shouted angrily, "It's not about money! It's about dignity and honor, you know? ”
Lin Yuan thought helplessly: "I didn't expect to meet a fool!" He sighed and began to think about the solution in his heart, Leyson pointed a gun at Lin Yuan, but Liu Linxiang on the side was frightened, and he thought to himself: "If there is such a thing as the British shooting the Chinese governor under my rule, not only will I not be able to keep my official position, but even my head will have to be moved together!" ”
Liu Linxiang hurriedly rushed to Lai Sen's side and said, "Hurry up and put the gun down, if you hurt Lord Lin Yuan, you won't survive!" ”
Leyson sneered: "I am British, I enjoy consular jurisdiction, even if I commit a great crime, you Chinese can't help me!" ”
Lin Yuan thought in his heart: "What should I do?" I can't be hard with this Leyson, this Leyson is a stunned young man at all, if he really gives me a shot, how worthless my death is! When Lin Yuan was in a hurry, he suddenly had an idea and thought, "Why should I have to spend time here with Leyson?" Wouldn't it be the same if I took a soft break first, and then came back tomorrow to rescue these girls? ”
Lin Yuan made up his mind, and just as he was about to speak, he heard a sudden sound of wind behind him, and Lin Yuan was very familiar with that wind, it was the sound of something falling from the air! Lin Yuan thought to himself, "What's the matter?" What happened? How can there be such a voice? ”
Just thinking about it, I heard a "bang", and then I heard Leyson let out a miserable howl, and then the muzzle on the temple was loosened, Lin Yuan turned his head, only to see that Leyson had already knelt on the ground with his arms crossed, the pistol was lying on the side, Shen Wanqing was holding the girl in one hand, holding a long knife in the other, standing beside Leysen heroically!
Lin Yuan wondered in his heart: "Where did Wanqing get the knife?" Looking at the knife carefully, it was exactly the same as the knife used by the big man before, and then I realized that Shen Wanqing's position was exactly where the big man who had just been hit by himself fell to the ground, and the knife fell to the ground, and those people took away the injured big man, but they didn't pick up the knife, so they were picked up by Shen Wanqing, and hit Leyson's arm with a knife.
Lin Yuan suddenly thought, "She can't have cut off Leyson's arm, right?" So he took a closer look at Leyson's arm, and saw that there was not even a wound on it, so he knew that Shen Wanqing must have hit it with the back of the knife, Shen Wanqing threw the knife to the side, and said to Lin Yuan: "Let's go!" ”
Lin Yuan nodded, and led everyone outside, Leyson was so painful that he was powerless to stop it, at this moment, he saw a group of soldiers running in the distance, these soldiers were different from those Qing soldiers, they were full of energy, their military uniforms were neat, and the rifles in their hands were much newer, and everyone was blond and blue-eyed, and they turned out to be foreigners' troops!
These foreign soldiers surrounded Lin Yuan and the others in the core, and a person who looked like an officer walked up to Lin Yuan and said angrily: "If you want to take people away from the factory run by the citizens of our country, you must first ask our Ministry of Industry if you agree!" ”
Lin Yuan couldn't help but be shocked when he heard these people claiming to be the "Ministry of Industry Bureau", and thought: "Why did you still get the people from the Ministry of Industry Bureau, Shanghai has had a concession since 1853, and in 1863, the Shanghai Knife Society revolted, and the Qing court lost control of the concession, so the foreigners in the concession, mainly the British, set up the Ministry of Industry Bureau to manage the security and other affairs in the concession, and the Ministry of Industry Bureau became the de facto government of the concession, and the concession really became a country within a country!" ”
Lin Yuan looked at the person in front of him and asked, "Who are you?" ”
The man said, "I'm a director of the Ministry of Works, Peter?" Klein! ”
The chief of the Ministry of Industry is called the "director", and there are nine directors, and these nine people elect a general director, who is the highest chief of the Ministry of Industry. Lin Yuan looked at Klein and sneered: "This is not a concession, you don't have the right to get soldiers here, right?" ”
Klein sneered: "I have heard that our people of the British Empire have been shamelessly harassed by thugs, and your Qing court is too incompetent to protect them, so I must come in person!" ”
When Leyson saw Klein coming, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Lord Director, these thugs want to rob my workers!" ”
Klein sneered and said to Lin Yuan: "Leave people behind, you can go, I won't pursue anything else!" ”
Lin Yuan looked at the British soldiers and whispered to Shen Wanqing: "No way, we can't take these girls away." ”
Of course, Shen Wanqing knew that there was a huge disparity in the crowd today, and she could only come to save these girls in the future, so she nodded heavily, but said to Klein: "The girl I am holding is seriously ill and can't help but heal, so I hope you will allow me to take her away." ”
Klein nodded and said, "You can go." Then he waved his hand to the soldier and said, "Get all these girls back!" ”
Those girls saw that they were about to return to the fire pit, they all cried, those British soldiers and big men came up and drove them to the warehouse like shouting cattle, the girl who kicked people suddenly knelt down beside Lin Yuan, grabbed Lin Yuan's legs and cried and begged: "Big brother, save us, we will be killed by them!" ”
At this time, two British soldiers rushed up, one grabbed the hair, dragged the girl away, and the other picked up the butt of the gun and hit, the soldier was extremely ruthless, the butt of the gun was specially hit between the girl's legs, and after hitting the girl twice, the girl cried and begged: "Stop fighting, don't fight, I'll go with you, I'll go with you, woo woo......"
Lin Yuan and Shen Wanqing wanted to step forward, but they were stopped by two British soldiers with bayonets, and the two could only watch as the girls were dragged back to the warehouse by the big man and the British soldiers!
Lin Yuan turned his head, stared at Klein and Leyson viciously, and gritted his teeth and said, "Forty-four, there are forty-four of these girls, and I'll come back tomorrow!" If there is one missing, I will let your whole family pay for their lives!" ”
Klein and Leyson smiled disdainfully, turned around and left, Shen Wanqing said behind Lin Yuan: "Let's go, treat this girl first, and wait until tomorrow, let's settle accounts with them!" ”
Lin Yuan said angrily: "I have never fought such an aggrieved battle, I immediately asked Chen Fei to bring his newly trained special forces, I still don't believe that I can't beat them!" ”
At this moment, I heard the girl in Shen Wanqing's arms moaning and said, "Sister, put me down." ”
