Chapter 34: We Are Wronged!
What is the danger of adding to the sin?
Betty is a smart person, and instead of talking about Ding Zheng at the beginning, she directly splashed dirty water.
Do those who have wronged the gang still need a reason?
Even if they haven't robbed their own things, they must have robbed other people's things.
For the bad guys, there is no need to use fair and honest means at all.
Ding Zheng, who has been pretending to be pitiful next to him, can't help but appreciate this Miss Betty more and more.
Promising!
The Admiral couldn't help but frown when he heard this.
Although the Westernization movement is important, he can't really attack the dock gang just based on the other party's words.
The Admiral was a little puzzled: "Miss Betty, I would love to help you, but you have to show proof!" ”
"How can there be no evidence?" Betty said, then stepped out of the way and released Ding Zheng, "This is my friend's pet, can it show how brutal that dock gang is?" ”
"Moreover, the people who came with me are witnesses!" Betty looked at Li Shangen, Yang Banzhu and the others.
The interpreter briefly repeated the conversation between the Admiral and Betty to Li Shangen and others.
Li Shangen followed Ding Zheng during this period of time, and he finally mustered up the courage and stood up and said: "This is my monkey, I am a human witness, the dock gang forcibly collects multiple protection fees, we don't pay, we will poison me and my pet, my pet will have this injury in order to protect me!" ”
"It's just a brute, I'm afraid there is no evidence, we don't have a law specifically set for brutes in the Qing Dynasty!" The Admiral.
"And me!" Squad Master Yang also gritted his teeth and stood up, he knew that he had offended the dock gang, and it was useless to hide.
"Before, the dock helped Liu Hutang master come to our troupe to make trouble, and everyone in our entire troupe can testify!"
The Admiral nodded: "Since Miss Betty has a witness, then I will arrest the person in charge of this dock gang and interrogate it!" ”
The master next to him was sweating profusely, and he almost wanted to catch Chen Li and have a bang.
"My lord, I'm going to arrest this dock gang leader!" He opened his mouth and asked for help.
No, please, no.
If he goes first, there may still be room for maneuver and reduce losses.
When the Admiral personally leads the team to arrest people, it will really be all over!
Although Chen Li is the leader of the dock gang, this master has not been less profitable at the dock over the years.
said that he wanted to eliminate the dock gang, but he was no less worried than Chen Li!
Chen Li is the elder brother of his wife, and the money he paid for the exam in Beijing was given by Chen Li!
Moreover, he is a Han master with no background, and he can be so stable in Foshan Yamen.
The dock gang didn't know how much they helped.
When you taste the benefits of power, it's really hard to give up.
However, although the situation is urgent now, the master is not too panicked.
He knew very well that these foreign ladies had no time or interest in staring at a criminal all day.
As long as he can help the dock gang avoid this level and minimize the losses, there is still a possibility of turning over.
The admiral understood what the master was thinking, he knew the relationship between the master and the dock gang, and he was willing to give the other party this face, nodded, and agreed: "Then go and go back quickly, today the official must thoroughly investigate this matter and give Miss Betty an explanation!" ”
This master is still very much in line with the commander's wishes, and after he came to Foshan, he helped a lot before and after.
"Your Excellency is really wise!" When Betty heard the translation, she put a hat on the Admiral.
Lord Admiral immediately nodded with a smile and said, "It's still Miss Betty's justice and responsibility, I can't hide it, this official only came to Foshan recently, and he is not familiar with everything here, and he didn't know that there was such an arrogant gang force, but fortunately, Miss Betty reminded me, thank you." ”
As he spoke, he changed his words: "I hope that in the future, I will have the opportunity to meet Miss Betty's father or master in person, this official is very respectful and appreciative of Western medicine, and I am also vigorously learning the advanced knowledge of Western medicine, and other scientific and technological technologies." ”
Betty smiled and opened her mouth perfunctorily.
The yamen suddenly became peaceful.
At this time, the people outside were also talking.
"Is what this lord said true or false?"
"This adult seems to have only come to Foshan in the past few days, and it may have nothing to do with the dock gang?"
The crowd fell silent for a moment.
Suddenly, a shout rang out!
"My lord, I want to report to the official too!"
"I want it too!"
With the second shout, the people outside the yamen were directly ignited.
……
"My lord, I am a wronged adult!" Chen Li shouted with a crying voice, "I didn't do anything to that monkey at all, my lord!" ”
"We did go to the theater troupe that day, but we didn't make any trouble at all, we didn't even watch the play, and we didn't provoke these foreigners!" Chen Li cried hoarsely.
Liu Hu, who was kneeling next to him, also looked frightened: "Yes, my lord, I didn't do anything to that monkey before, but someone injured me and my brothers in order to protect that monkey!" ”
Both of them looked at Li Shangen and the others, their faces full of bitter hatred.
They had never seen such blatant false accusations.
However, no matter how much Liu Hu and Chen Li shouted, no matter how much they cried, it was useless.
Now it is not only Ding Zheng and Li Shangen who want to trouble them.
Instead, a large number of Foshan people chose to fall into the well.
And there are foreigners watching from the side.
"Master! What do you think? The admiral said to the master next to him, who looked young and looked a little yin.
The master frowned for a long time, and finally sighed, and leaned next to the ear of the Admiral: "I hope that the Lord will forgive the sins, I hope the Lord can give the villain a face, don't dig too deep, the villain will let Chen Li, the gang leader, bear all the blame to calm the people's anger!" ”
"And, of course, the anger of a few foreign ladies."
The Admiral pondered for a moment when he heard this, then nodded and immediately said, "Yes!" Then go and arrange it, for the sake of your loyalty before and after the saddle, this official will allow you this face. ”
"Thank you, sir!"
The master bowed down and immediately went to arrange the relevant matters.
Chen Li is also a ruthless person.
After listening to the master's words, I knew that there was no other way.
Immediately agreed.
