The original British Consulate, the guards at the door are British, but also equipped with guns, under Lin Yuan's rule, the British Consulate has long lost the prestige of the day, although the British still enjoy nominal extraterritoriality, but at Lin Yuan's insistence, the guards of the British Consulate were replaced by Chinese, and the guns of the guards were sent back to Britain within a time limit. When the guards saw this scene, they were afraid that the big man would hurt the old man, so they didn't stop him, and let him pull Liu Jinqiu and rush into the courtyard of the consulate.

Lin Yuan followed him into the consulate with a catcher, the British people inside were dumbfounded, they had never seen this kind of scene, someone immediately notified the consul general Anderson, and the others gathered around to watch the excitement.

Seeing that there were more and more people, Dahan waved his knife at everyone and shouted, "Get out of here!" While roaring, he pulled Liu Jinqiu back to a small building, kicked the door open, and hid in.

Lin Yuan was just about to bring people in, but at this moment, Anderson rushed up and said: "This is our British place, you Chinese have no right to go in." ”

Lin Yuan said: "We have an old man who was kidnapped by bandits......"

Anderson didn't listen to Lin Yuan's explanation at all, interrupted him rudely, and said: "These things, go to your new governor Lin Yuan and say, who told him to insist on cutting our guards, if it is our guards standing at the door and there are guns in their hands, this will definitely not happen!" ”

Lin Yuan frowned, and said angrily: "You don't let us in, what if that bandit hurts your people inside!" ”

Anderson sneered: "There are no of our people in that small building at all, and it is you Chinese who want to die!" ”

Just when they were arguing, Dahan had already pulled Liu Jinqiu and retreated to the small building, Liu Jinqiu just wanted to continue to persuade him, but he listened to Dahan, put down the knife, and said, "Liu Lao, I'm offended." ”

Liu Jinqiu was a little familiar when he heard this voice, and when he looked back, he saw that the big man took off his wig, and Liu Jinqiu said: "I remember, you are Deng Hong on the Beijing ship." ”

Deng Hong said with a smile: "Old Liu, all this is the captain's plan. ”

Liu Jinqiu suddenly became big and said, "No wonder he asked me how my heart was?" It turns out that the root is here! ”

Deng Hong said: "Let's hurry upstairs, the laboratory is on the second floor, don't you want to see the British colorimetry?" Liu Jinqiu and Deng Hong went up to the second floor, Deng Hong took out a wire, and stabbed open the lock on a room in two clicks, the room was neatly placed beakers, test tubes and other experimental utensils, and there was a row of large cabinets against the wall, Liu Jinqiu opened the cabinet and rummaged quickly, and soon, Liu Jinqiu took a card and said to Deng Hong: "Found it." Deng Hong took the card, put it on the table, took out a matchbox-sized camera from his waist, and gently pressed the shutter, "click", Liu Jinqiu said in surprise: "Such a small camera also has a flash." ”

Deng Hong said: "Of course, this is a special reconnaissance camera, suitable for shooting in all environments." When Deng Hong finished shooting the card, Liu Jinqiu remembered the location of the card and put it back, Deng Hong said: "Okay, I should go." With that, he walked out of the laboratory, kicked open a few rooms, rummaged through them for a while, took a few valuable things, jumped out of the window, and fled.

Liu Jinqiu walked out of the small building alone, Lin Yuan was still arguing with Anderson, Liu Jinqiu walked up to Lin Yuan and said, "It's okay, that person stole some money in the British's house and ran away by himself." ”

Lin Yuan knew the "catty" in the road, and he didn't say much more, and walked away with people, and when he was on the way, Liu Jinqiu was full of praise for Lin Yuan's move.

Lin Yuan smiled: "I haven't finished this trick yet." ”

Liu Jinqiu asked, "Do you have any other tricks?" ”

Lin Yuan said: "Of course there is, this Consul General Anderson will definitely come to the Governor's Yamen to find me to compensate for the loss, this is a good opportunity." ”

Liu Jinqiu asked puzzledly: "What chance can this have?" ”

Lin Yuan said: "I can't explain a word or two with you, so let's do it, you can follow me back and listen behind the screen." ”

The two came to the governor's yamen, and sure enough, someone soon came to report to Lin Yuan: "Anderson, the consul general of the British Consulate in Mukden, asks to see him." ”

Lin Yuan asked people to invite him to the living room, and as soon as Anderson entered the door, Lin Yuan knew that he had not guessed wrong, because Anderson's face was pale, obviously very angry, Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Does Mr. Anderson have anything to do with me?" ”

Lin Yuan changed his clothes, and Anderson didn't recognize Lin Yuan, which is not surprising, in the eyes of many foreigners, Chinese people look similar. Anderson said angrily: "Just today, a mob stormed our consulate!" We are going to report this to the embassy in Peking, and soon our British Empire will make serious representations! I came today to ask you, the Chinese side, to allow us to equip our own guards! ”

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "Okay, Anderson, what a cunning old fox, the first sentence at the beginning was: There are thugs rushing into the consulate!" As if the matter was so serious! If you weren't on the scene today, you'd be really scared! ”

Lin Yuan smiled: "Mr. Anderson, don't be angry, tell me what's going on, right?" ”

Anderson said, "There was a man armed with a sharp knife who broke into our consulate, and your guards did not stop him. ”

Lin Yuan smiled: "Is that the case? How did I hear that the man was holding an old man hostage, so our soldiers didn't stop it. ”

Seeing that he hadn't bluffed Lin Yuan, Anderson knew that he was wrong, and reluctantly argued: "I also listened to the report of my subordinates." ”

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "Okay, I'll tell you, the man who broke into your consulate today kidnapped an old man, our guards took into account the safety of the old man, so they didn't stop him, the old man is already here with me, do you want to see him?" ”

Anderson's face was red and white for a while, and before he could speak, Lin Yuan walked behind the screen, brought Liu Jinqiu out, and said, "This is the old man today, you understand the truth of the matter." ”

Lin Yuan was afraid that Liu Jinqiu would laugh, so after letting Anderson look at him, he gave him a look and let him return to the back of the screen, Lin Yuan sat back next to Anderson, and said: "Mr. Anderson, such a trivial matter, why should you alarm the embassy, what losses do you have in the consulate, we will compensate for it." ”

Anderson saw the stairs coming down, so he said, "That's good, I hope this doesn't happen again." ”

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "We will have to cooperate more with the British Empire in the future, how can we hurt the harmony because of this trivial matter." ”

Anderson asked, "Collaboration?" What to work with? ”

Lin Yuan said: "Measure the material resources of China, and the happiness of the country, we have nothing else, there are still a lot of mineral resources, but we Chinese ourselves do not have the strength to mine, so I hope your country can help more, a while ago we also signed a cooperation agreement, there is no project to start construction, in the next hope to open a mine in Shengjing, I wonder if Mr. Anderson is willing to help?" ”

When Anderson heard this, he was overjoyed, but there was no show on his face, and he sneered: "Can we do any good to open this mine?" ”
