Chapter 301: Planting Blame

The British Consulate was located in the Hankow Concession and was guarded by twenty British soldiers, so it was not easy to get into it without even noticing. The talkative apprentice only knew that James was in the consulate, but he didn't know exactly where to go, and it was even harder to find the data from James's trial.

Chen Hao was glad that he had brought Lin Hei'er and Cuiyun Niang, the two beauties were masters of high and low, and only they could touch them. But there is still a problem, if it is found that quietly entering the consulate will cause diplomatic disputes, the Empress Dowager Cixi has long been frightened by foreigners, if she orders a thorough investigation, it will be troublesome to be targeted by the top arresters in the imperial court.

In any case, Chen Hao's consulate must be visited, but try not to leave a handle, otherwise Xu Jianyin may be implicated. There were still two hours before dark, Chen Hao instructed Cuiyun Niang and the two to go into the concession to step on something, and the three of them acted together at night.

In the headquarters of the Huo family in Hanyang City, Huo Qubing also got the clue of the mission, and he had a large number of men, and he found the NPC that contacted Xu Jianyin in the shortest time. After listening to the report of his subordinates, he instructed one of the players: "Astro Boy, you take people to the concession to step on the point, and then gather the brothers in Hanyang City who know how to do light work, and prepare for action tonight." ”

Huo Quzhi finally gave up asking Chen Hao for help, he felt that this task was mainly latent, and martial arts were not necessarily useful. If you ask Chen Hao for help, you have to pay for it, and if you are not your own person, it may be a bad thing, so there is no need for this at all.

When night fell, Chen Hao in the inn and Huo Qubing in the mansion began to decorate, and both of them decided to participate in the action in person. Chen Hao's light skills are far inferior to Lin Hei'er and Cuiyun Niang, there is no need to be a burden, but he has a reason to go. Cuiyun Niang and Lin Heier did not speak English, and after finding the imprisoned James, they must have to communicate with James simply, and if they can't communicate, they won't be able to get the test data.

Chen Hao's cultural attributes are not low, but he has never learned English in the game, so he found a teacher to learn a few words that he may use for the evening task. After having accurate information, Huo Quzhi did not send anyone to monitor him, and he found a second devil near Hanyang to teach the people to study, and no one would think of him if he broke into the consulate and had an accident.

Huo Qubing selected five elite subordinates to participate in the mission, led by himself himself, and the group left the house in night clothes. In the dead of night, there was not a single pedestrian in the concession, and Huo Quai's six people came to the vicinity of the consulate smoothly.

Chen Hao and the three of them were also lurking not far away, Huo Quzhi didn't find them, but they watched every move of Huo Quzhi and the six people. He couldn't help but be a little entangled, if he did it in front of Huo Quai's few people, the exposure of these six people at a critical moment would drag him down. If you wait for Huo Qu to get sick and a few people do it first, if they succeed, the smokeless gunpowder formula will be useless.

Chen Hao remembered that Huo Qu's illness was successful, so he definitely couldn't wait for Huo Qu's illness to do it first, and after making up his mind, he motioned to Cuiyun Niang and Lin Hei'er to go around to the back of the consulate. Cuiyun Niang jumped onto the wall, then hung down a rope to pull Chen Hao and Lin Hei'er up, and the three of them successfully entered the consulate.

Huo Quai's side didn't have a master like Cuiyun Niang, so they didn't consider entering from the back, so they could only fight the idea of the front door guard. There were two sentries at the entrance of the consulate, these two sentries were not very vigilant and looked sleepy-eyed, and it was not difficult to deal with them.

Chen Hao and the three of them shuttled around the consulate, they didn't know where James lived, so they could only look for them one by one. The talkative apprentice told him what James looked like, and the three of them had to try their luck as described, and every time they came to a bedroom, Lin Heier would release incense to stun the people inside, and then enter the room to check.

When the three of them came to a room around the corner, there was a snoring sound from the house, and the three of them walked in after Lin Heier let out the smoke. After lighting the candles, a foreigner with a height of more than one meter eight was lying naked on the bed, which made Lin Heier and Cuiyun Niang blush, and hurriedly turned their heads.

Chen Hao looked at it for a moment, and the discoverer was similar to the description of the apprentice, and it should be James if nothing else. He picked up the clothes that had been put aside and put them on the foreigner, took out a dagger and put it against James's neck, and at the same time motioned to Lin Heier to relieve James's incense.

James opened his eyes and found that there was an extra person in front of him, who opened his mouth to scream but was covered by Chen Hao. Feeling the coldness in his neck, James hurriedly shook his head to signal that he would not resist, Chen Hao let go of his hand and asked in a deep voice, "James?" ”

James glanced at the dagger around his neck in fear, nodded submissively, and whispered, "Who are you?" ”

Chen Haohui didn't have many words in English, and when he said the word test data, James finally understood what he meant. James cursed incessantly, he heard that the Great Qing Kingdom in the East was full of gold, and he came all the way to try his luck, and finally got a job in a gunpowder factory, and the pay was very good, and he was put under house arrest by his consulate after only a month.

When James entered the gunpowder factory, he signed an agreement that his monthly salary was 300 oceans, and if he cooperated with Xu Jianyin to develop smokeless gunpowder, he would be rewarded with 3,000 oceans. Three thousand oceans is already a huge amount of money, and he worked hard every day to test gunpowder for this reward, but when he saw that he was about to succeed, he was stopped by the consulate.

James was not so afraid when he learned of Chen Hao's intention, he stretched out three fingers, and then said the word reward. Chen Hao had made full preparations before he came, and knew that Xu Jianyin had promised to give James 3,000 oceans after the development was successful, so he happily poured out 3,000 oceans from the blanket and put them on the table, and then handed the pen and paper to James.

James shook his head, and he pulled out a wad of white paper from the bedside table, densely packed with data. Chen Hao took the pile of paper and checked the attributes, confirming that this was the task item he needed, and after handing over the data to Xu Jianyin, Xu Jianyin would be able to develop smokeless gunpowder.

Item Name: James's Test Data Item Introduction: James tried to prepare smokeless gunpowder every day when he was working at the Hanyang Steel Pharmaceutical FactoryData Item Attributes: This task is a special task item, no attribute shows that Chen Hao shook the dagger at James after collecting the drawings, and then covered his mouth and gestured that James must not leak out. After James nodded, Chen Hao and the others left his room, and when they were about to return the same way, Cuiyun Niang suddenly whispered: "My lord, those strangers killed the sentry at the door, and we are afraid that there will be trouble after we leave." ”

Chen Hao couldn't help but have a big headache, if there were no dead people in the consulate, this mission would be very smooth. James came to China only to seek wealth, and when he was paid, he would certainly not tell the story of someone sneaking into the consulate, but the consulate would definitely investigate after the death of two soldiers, and James would probably provide clues.

When the British consulate learns that the killer was trying to obtain data from James's experiment, it will certainly protest to the Qing government, and Xu Jianyin will also be investigated. The Empress Dowager Cixi was afraid of foreigners, and it was related to the killing of foreigners, even Zhang Zhidong could not protect Xu Jianyin, and whoever handed over Xu Jianyin's drawings at that time was the murderer.

Huo Qubing inadvertently got into a lot of trouble, and in his memory, he successfully completed the mission because he killed James after obtaining the blueprints. The British consulate spared him because the soldiers did not kill the protests, but did not find any evidence.

Chen Hao made a decision in an instant, and he whispered to Lin Hei'er: "The foreigner just now can't stay, all the foreigners in the consulate, except for the remaining eighteen soldiers, have all been killed." ”

"Yes."

Lin Heier used to be the eldest sister of the red light, and she was energetic when it came to killing foreigners, and of course she would not have any sympathy for the foreigners in the consulate. The consulate had ten bedrooms, eight of which were occupied by people, but all of them were stunned by Linheil. Lin Heier easily killed seven foreigners and entered James's room, James saw her go and returned, and when she opened her mouth to ask, she cut the carotid artery.

After Lin Hei'er cleanly dealt with the eight foreigners, he came to Chen Hao's side and said, "My lord, should we kill those foreigner soldiers on the first floor, I have a ...... of incense."

Chen Hao shook his head and said, "No need, let's wait here for a while, Yun Niang, you prepare the rope, we are ready to leave at any time." ”

Chen Hao ordered to kill all the foreigners on the second floor not because he was thirsty for killing, his purpose was to obtain test data, the consulate killed two sentinels, if James was the only one on the second floor who was killed, he would leave a clue. He stopped Lin Heier from killing the eighteen soldiers on the first floor because he wanted to set up a blame and blame Huo Qu for this incident.

Huo Quzhi has made many threats in the past few days, although Chen Hao was patient at the time, but of course he was unhappy. So many people died in the consulate this time, and blaming Huo Qubing can not only clear himself of suspicion, but also severely pit Huo Quai.

Huo Quzhi also has an official status in Jingbei, and is deeply appreciated by Zhang Zhidong, the governor of Huguang, but if he kills foreigners, even Zhang Zhidong will not be able to protect him. It is not surprising that Huo Quzhi will become a stunt wanted criminal in the imperial court, let alone continue to be an official in the future, it is impossible for him to get a task in the official mansion.

After Huo Quai's six people killed the sentry, he tiptoed to the first floor, and saw eighteen soldiers sleeping on the first floor, and after hesitating for a moment, he didn't move. Killing foreigners is a big deal, killing two may already cause a diplomatic storm, and if you kill twenty, it will be even more troublesome, which Huo Quzhi is very sober.

Huo Quzhi and his party of six walked up the stairs, and at this moment, Chen Hao, who was upstairs, suddenly pulled out the shell gun and pulled the trigger, and a crisp gunshot broke the silence of the night sky. After firing a shot, Chen Hao did not delay, and immediately came to the window on the second floor with Lin Hei'er, and he and Lin Hei'er fell to the ground along the rope.
