Chapter 42: A hundred kills are not too many
When Huang Shaohong returned to Baozhilin, it was already evening, and Joanna was waiting for him back with the frightened Thirteenth Aunt in the flower hall, as soon as she saw him enter the door, the Thirteenth Aunt immediately greeted him and asked with concern: "Feihong, I heard that something happened today, is it nothing?" ”
Huang Shaohong waved his hand and said: "It's okay, it's just that the case of Jishan abducting and trafficking women has been committed, and General Wiggins cooperated with the Admiral to arrest Jishan, but he didn't expect the American to fight back desperately, and both sides were defeated!" ”
He said and glanced at the female apprentice Joanna with some embarrassment, this apprentice is British after all, and he did it to Wiggins, I don't know if she will have bad thoughts.
Pork Rong had already reported to him about the British ship today, and Pork Rong successfully boarded the American merchant ship with a group of brothers pretending to be vegetable vendors.
However, during the attack, because the British and American ships docked very closely, after the British ships heard the gunfire and the Americans' cries for help, soldiers actually shot at this side and wounded two militia brothers.
Pork Rong was furious and asked the two militia brothers to use the small guns of the American merchant ship to fire at the British ship and directly bombard his mother.
The people in the militia are all from the Black Flag Army, and it is not a problem to fiddle with artillery, and they will bombard it, which is why Huang Shaohong heard a thunderous explosion from a distance and saw a British ship on fire when they were watching a play in the theater.
When the British were about to fire back, the second group of militia arranged by Huang Shaohong had already rushed up, and these Black Flag troops were not merciless in killing foreign devils, and they also killed the few British soldiers stationed on the ship.
When Wiggins's men, the British soldiers who had gone ashore to have fun, came back and saw that the soldiers who stayed behind had been killed, and the ships were bombarded by the Americans, they would naturally believe that the government was attacking them.
will think that General Wiggens cooperated with the official uniform to arrest the good, which caused the Yankees to do something to them, so it can be regarded as a dead and unproven.
And these living foreign devils will report the preconceived news, and the British side will naturally tend to the soldiers' rhetoric, as for the next investigation, with the government as a cover, the British will naturally not find any mistakes in the land of China.
And this matter, Huang Shaohong knew that he couldn't hide it from the foreign girl apprentice in front of him, after all, these days, Joanna has been living in Baozhilin, and he doesn't believe that the other party doesn't know it.
Sure enough, Joanna, as the daughter of a nobleman, was obviously not ignorant of the world as she appeared on the surface, she first called out in jerky Chinese: "Master! ”
Then he said in English: "Wiggens has nothing to do with our family, and I don't approve of what he does in some matters......"
Huang Shaohong couldn't help but secretly praise that the smart woman must have noticed her embarrassment, so she said a word to reassure herself.
He nodded and didn't say more, only asked Lin Yunkai to continue to ask Aunt Thirteen and Joanna to learn martial arts after dinner, and at the same time said to Joanna in return:
"Our Chinese martial arts are broad and profound, if you want to learn something deep, you have to pass the language, otherwise no matter how hard you work, what you learn in the end is only superficial!"
After listening to Aunt Thirteen's translation, Joanna had a smile on her face and bowed slightly playfully: "Thank you, Master, I am already studying with Diana." ”
After everyone had dinner, Huang Shaohong and Pork Rong left Baozhilin and came to a courtyard near the wharf, which is the stronghold of the militia group, and the equipment used in the militia practice on weekdays is placed here.
This time, after stealing Jishan's boat, it was naturally inconvenient to take back the money and jewelry obtained from Bao Zhilin, so he was transferred here by the people of the militia arranged by Pork Rong.
As soon as Huang Shaohong came in, he found that all the people from the militia had arrived, and in the courtyard of the house, there were people standing densely, and when he came in, these people saluted at the same time: "Master Huang!" ”
Huang Shaohong clenched his fists left and right: "Brothers, you have worked hard!" ”
The crowd automatically split a passageway, and Pork Rong led him into the room where the loot was stored.
Huang Shaohong could clearly feel that when he entered this room, the fiery eyes of the surrounding militia brothers, but he only glanced at them, and did not go up to check, and asked Pork Rong:
"I'll talk about these things later, take me to see my wounded and dead brothers first!"
Although this operation was a surprise attack, the exchange of muskets inevitably resulted in casualties, and one of the militia brothers who first boarded the American merchant ship was killed on the spot, and the other two were slightly wounded.
As soon as he said this, those people with fiery eyes immediately felt guilty, and at the same time, the eyes that looked at Huang Shaohong became more and more respectful.
Huang Shaohong went to see his dead brother, visited the wounded, and told them to recuperate from their injuries in peace, and he would definitely not lose his brother.
After seeing the injured, Huang Shaohong took Pork Rong and came to the room where the money was placed again in the expectant eyes of the other militia brothers, and began to check the harvest this time.
Huang Shaohong took a cursory look, and couldn't help but smack his tongue secretly, Jishan, this Yankee really didn't make less money, but this product didn't have any artistic cells, except for gold and silver, jewelry, and nothing like antiques.
With the characteristics of the times, the 'ingots yellow croaker' are neatly placed and filled with a large box.
In addition, there are seven or eight boxes of silver dollars, which can be said to be a great fortune, and with the accumulation of good human trafficking, you will not be able to save this money for a few years, and even if you earn this money, you will definitely not put it on the ship.
"Where did you get so much money from this Jishan?" Huang Shaohong couldn't help but whisper the questions in his heart.
When Pork Rong on the side heard this, he hurriedly took out a piece of oil paper wrapped in a wooden box in the corner and handed it to Huang Shaohong: "Master, we found this on the American ship!" ”
Huang Shaohong peeled off the oil paper, only to see that there was a black ointment-like thing inside, and he instantly understood: "This is Fushou ointment!" ”
At this time, he didn't know where he was that Ji Shan was actually an opium dealer, every time he came to China, he was smuggling opium, and when he went back, he was just making a little money by abducting and selling people.
"Damn it, good kill!" Huang Shaohong suddenly felt that he had killed Jishan like that, and he had spared him too lightly, not to mention how many Chinese people had been harmed by the opium he transported, even when he returned to China, he had to abduct and sell Chinese people for money, it was simply mad, and it was not too much to kill him a hundred times.
Huang Shaohong threw down the Fushou ointment, turned to look at the militia brothers inside and outside the house, and saw that these people were looking at him expectantly, he knew that these brothers were waiting for the money.
He didn't procrastinate, and immediately smiled: "Divide the money!" ”
