Chapter 33: It's so dark
"It's too much!"
Betty gritted her teeth and looked at the translator, "The dock gang called is so frustrated, isn't there a law that can punish them?" ”
The translator passed on the words of Li Shangen and Yang Banzhu: "Ordinary people don't dare to mess with them at all, they are many and powerful, and they are all very capable of fighting." ”
"I just want to know how to make this group of people who deserve hell pay!" Betty Road.
"Go to the Yamen to report to the official!" The translator patted the ass and said, "It may be useless for ordinary people to report to the official, but if it were Miss Betty, maybe it would really be useful." ”
Betty's eyes rolled, and then she said categorically: "We'll go to the officials now, even if we can't sanction them, we have to let them restrain themselves!" ”
Ding Zheng blinked.
It really didn't expect it to get to this point.
Originally, Ding Zheng just wanted to sell miserably.
can let these foreign girls come to the play more often, and help it publicize it.
and even try to let these people come over every day to cultivate a relationship with it.
In this way, the dock gang should be more stable during this time.
You can continue to sing and make money.
But this Miss Betty, who is full of a sense of justice, wants to seek justice for an orangutan like her!
In this era, I am afraid that only foreigners can have such thoughts.
And more importantly.
Maybe it's really rewarding!
The Qing Dynasty was carrying out the Westernization Movement.
With the current Qing Dynasty's attention to foreigners.
Once a case is involved with foreigners, even if it is just a trivial matter, the yamen does not dare to despise it.
……
A group of people walked out of the troupe and went straight to the yamen.
The road attracted a large number of people to watch the excitement.
Foshan Yamen is located in the more prosperous central area, the area is not large, slightly shabby.
The two stone lions at the door are very clean, and they are often cleaned at first glance.
The crowd stopped at the door.
Only Betty and the others walked up with Li Shangen, who was holding Ding Zheng, and Yang Banzhu.
The official at the door was startled when he saw that there were a few foreigners among the comers, and immediately went to report it.
A moment later, Ding Zheng, Li Shangen, Betty and others were welcomed to the yamen.
Beyond the cramped courtyard, there is the public court.
There is a somewhat dilapidated plaque hanging on the roof, with four large characters written on it: "Mirror hangs high".
Seeing the familiar figure sitting on the main seat of the yamen, Ding Zheng couldn't help but be stunned.
Then his eyes lit up, and his face was full of irrepressible ecstasy.
Isn't this the same Admiral who appeared in the movie?
Another surprise!
In the movie, the Admiral is extremely afraid of foreigners, and he is also extremely stubborn.
Completion is a foreigner's licking dog.
Several times helped foreigners deal with Huang Feihong, looking like a traitor.
Moreover, the duty of this admiral is to establish good relations with foreigners and promote the Westernization movement.
With this person, it is undoubtedly less difficult for foreigners to report to the official!
"A few young ladies, I don't know if there is anything you need help from this official?" The Admiral wondered what this group of foreigners were doing here.
But he still has a smile on his face and speaks English proficiently.
Betty let out a long sigh of relief, it was so nice to be able to communicate without the help of a translator.
"Distinguished Qing Dynasty officials, my name is Betty Baker, I am from San Francisco, USA, my father is the medical scientist Les Baker, my teacher is the zoologist Professor Paul, and I am very good friends with the general Bruce stationed in the capital."
Betty said, "Today I went to the dock in Foshan to watch your opera, but I encountered obstruction and intimidation from the local underworld forces, so I came here to ask for help."
Listening to Betty's words, Lord Admiral's heart jumped.
That's a big background!
The rest of the foreign girls can stay with Betty, and their identities must be unusual.
Not to be taken lightly
The Admiral has decided to serve these foreigners in front of him well, and maybe he can get to know a few wealthy and powerful officials in the United States because of this.
Ding Zheng's eyes lit up.
The surprises are one after the other.
Betty's identity will undoubtedly make this thing smoother and more rewarding!
"Miss Betty, please elaborate." The Admiral said immediately.
"Huh!" Betty snorted coldly, "We were invited to go to the play, and we saw that an underworld force called the Dock Gang was collecting protection money, not giving money to watch the play, and bullying the weak, and the people inside wanted to do something to us!" ”
Lord Admiral suddenly became nervous: "They didn't hurt you, did they?" ”
"Not really, but I'm still angry, and besides, my friend's pet was hurt by them."
Betty paused, glanced at the Admiral, lowered her voice a few points, and continued: "On the way I came, many people said that this dock gang had something to do with the Yamen, so they were so unscrupulous, I don't know if this is true?" Betty continued.
"Jokes, these people are full of nonsense, Miss Betty must not believe it, how can I have anything to do with a group of gangsters?" The Admiral's face was furious.
In my heart, I was even more angry with the Lord Wang in the yamen before.
actually brought the dirty water of collusion with gangs to his head.
And the dock gang.
He clearly remembered that he had just warned the gang leader the day before yesterday that he must not provoke foreigners.
But today, a foreigner came to the door to report to the official.
It's clear that he didn't take his words seriously!
Betty naturally saw the change in Admiral's complexion, and couldn't help but feel proud.
Since coming to the Qing Dynasty, no matter where they are, they have enjoyed the treatment of human beings.
The reaction of the other party who attaches such importance to it at the moment has long been expected by her.
So Betty immediately struck while the iron was hot: "Then can you deal with these criminals quickly?" so as not to threaten the security of the people and of our foreign friends. ”
After speaking, she added leisurely: "I even suspect that a few of us lost a lot of precious jewelry a few days ago, and it was also made by these criminals." ”
If it's black, it's hard black.
