Chapter 228: Huo Yuanjia who disappeared

Two hours after they withdrew from the Governor's Palace, it was beginning to lighten. The Beiyang soldiers who were busy dealing with the gangs' smashing and looting in Tianjin City www.biquge.info also returned to their original posts, and the Zhili Governor's Mansion was again in a state of heavy surrounding.

At this time, Tian Buzi and the others had already taken Rong Lu, who had been injected with anesthetics, to another safe house in the British Concession. On the way back to the British Concession, they encountered several patrolling Qing troops, but John and they got past by brushing their faces, after all, China is still an era of privileges for foreign adults.

Li Hongzhang's guards gathered around the Governor's Palace, and after the sky began to brighten up, they began to walk out of the courtyards where Li Hongzhang lived to clean up the mess. After taking some inventory, it was found that there were not many dead and wounded soldiers, and last night it should have been given to lose the lighting conditions, and he had already confused the situation and was in chaos.

The guards didn't suffer many casualties, but something bigger came to light. Rong Lu, who came to discuss military affairs on the order of Cixi, disappeared in the Governor's Mansion of Zhili, which made the old fox break out in a cold sweat. This pseudo-Song is also ruthless, I haven't been sure what this Rong Lu has to do with the arson case in the British Concession, they directly tied up the key people, and kidnapped people right under my nose, I really don't know what to say about them, the old fox was deeply touched by the attack on his house last night.

The person sent by Lafayette to do business was kidnapped in his own home, and he couldn't get out of it anyway, what should he do? Li Hongzhang thought about such a big thing, but he couldn't hide it, so he should find a way to get the people out and report to Cixi again.

Lord Zhongtang found the middleman who had contacted Xingqian to blow up the ship, and asked him to contact the pseudo-Song again to see if there was any possibility of redeeming Ronglu. As soon as the arson case came out last night, those white British soldiers in the British Concession were ordered to start martial law, and they no longer allowed people with braids to enter and leave the British Concession, and this middleman, Li Fang, could not contact Tian Buzi for a while.

After Tian Buzi captured Rong Lu, he placed him in a safe house. After returning to the hotel, he made up for a sleep, and did not get up until the person sent by the concession authorities to invite him to negotiate matters arrived at the hotel.

As soon as he left the room, he met Huo Yuanjia's wife, who said that she had never seen him again after she said goodbye to Huo Yuanjia in front of the ruins of the clinic. Huo Yuanjia was arranged by Tian Buzi to stay at the scene of the fire, staring at the matter of extinguishing the embers, it was already more than ten o'clock in the morning of the next day, he should have finished dealing with the matter and rushed to the hotel to round, how could he be missing?

There were a large number of Indian soldiers and white soldiers from the British mainland, who were no strangers to the servants of the most medically advanced doctors in the British Concession. Huo Yuanjia has been a disciple for nearly two months, and he is also fluent in some foreign languages, and he can communicate with the foreigners present, plus he is skilled, even if there are some remnants of Rong Lu's subordinates near the clinic, it will not pose any threat to him, where will he go?

"I'll go to the scene of the fire and maybe find some clues." In addition to being an undercover agent, Daryl is also a firefighter in New York.

"Well, let Mia go with you. Master Huo is very reliable, he will not leave his wife and say goodbye. Timbuz agreed to Daryl's request.

Tian Buzi wanted to rush to the British consulate in Tianjin to meet with the British consul in Tianjin, Ogner, and could only let Daryl and Mia deal with Huo Yuanjia's disappearance first.

At the British Consulate in Tianjin, Mr. Tin was discussing with Mr. Ogner how to deal with the sudden arson attack last night, and Mr. Tin expressed his dissatisfaction with the negligent security provided to the clinic by the concession authorities.

"Mr. Consul, given that at present the Great Song Empire and the British Empire have not formally established diplomatic relations. Before I went to the British Concession to open a clinic, I was authorized by His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty and the Parliament to temporarily deal with the foreign affairs of the Great Song Dynasty, and I explained this to you when I arrived in the British Concession, and that my clinic would be regarded as a quasi-consulate and was also recognized by the authorities of the British Concession. For the arson attack that happened at the clinic last night, I think you should give me a reasonable explanation. Tian Buzi looked like a businessman.

"Tian, this was our mistake. We overestimated the intelligence of the Indian soldiers, God, they can't even stand by and stand by for help, and I swear the instructors of the British Army have told them more than 10,000 times that they should stay at their posts and not move, that attacking is not their job. But these people, who grew up drinking the water of the corpse-soaked Ganges, have always been unable to figure out where they are. Ogna took it all back to the third brother's touching intelligence.

"Mr. Minister, if it had not been for the arrival of the Parliamentary Task Force for the Security of Diplomatic Personnel in the British Concession the other day, I think my employees and I would have been burned to ashes last night. This matter cannot be left alone, the attackers are well-trained soldiers, not civilian bandits, and the concession authorities should put pressure on the Qing court. Otherwise, our Great Song Dynasty itself will use retaliatory actions to put pressure on the Qing court, you know that the Liaodong Peninsula cannot reach Tianjin, maybe we need the help of the Great Song Royal Navy fleet. Tian Buzi said.

"No, no, we will deal with this incident that provoked the British Empire, and you will be compensated for your losses. The situation is not bad enough to use the fleet, Tian, you have to calm down, calm down. "What Ogner is afraid of is that Da Song will send a fleet here if he catches any excuse, and this Da Song is not a fuel-efficient lamp compared to the polar bears in the north.

"Mr. Consul, I hope you can give a satisfactory answer to His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty and the Parliament. You know that a lot of people in our country are very sensitive to this kind of attack on diplomats, and we have had several precedents in history of large-scale military conflicts caused by such incidents. Many gentlemen in the parliament were inclined to send a fleet in the event of an attack on diplomats in case the situation deteriorated further. Tian Buzi couldn't stop lying at all.

Where did the fleet come from, the few small torpedo boats that have not yet slipped away, and now it is said that the fleet is really boasting that it is not worth paying taxes. But the British and Germans, after seeing some of the modern weapons and equipment that the people consciously showed them, were convinced that the Great Song Dynasty had a very powerful navy. Advanced artillery, powerful but small internal combustion engines, advanced individual weapons, and soldiers' clothing, food, shelter and transportation all depend on a complete industrial system. Those white-skinned people from industrialized countries firmly believe that the equipment of the navy will always be more advanced than that of the army, and the equipment of the Great Song Marine Corps is at this point, where will their fleet be inferior.

As a result, there was a scene where Ogener killed and didn't want the Royal Navy fleet of the Great Song Dynasty to come here to join in the fun. As soon as the fleet of the Great Song Empire arrives, what will happen to the foot basin chicken? We paid for the Japanese to make trouble here for more than half a year, and your fleet arrived at the meal to grab a share of profits, right, we are not stupid, your fleet should stay at home.
