Chapter 305: Conspiracy to kidnap
The white man standing in front of Cai Datou, who called himself Mr. Fu, was the lawyer who defended the three French drug dealers in court that day. www.biquge.info In fact, Fuller majored in business law, and he never fought a single lawsuit related to criminal proceedings in his life. As speculated, the three Frenchmen were nobodies who were pushed to the stage to die, and when their names were mentioned many years later, it was probably only because the trial used a lot of criminal investigation techniques that had not been known to Western society before.
Using a lawyer who handled the contract to defend them, the people behind Fuller had long had their eyes on the pardon clause of the Great Song Law. The Gallic chickens who had lost the Franco-Prussian War had been so demoralized that they had little influence in the Far East, so much so that when John Bull and Hans had acquired a large number of projects on the Liaodong Peninsula to cooperate with the Great Song Empire, they had gained nothing.
After receiving information about the technological leaps and bounds made by John Bull and Hans after working with the Great Song Empire, the Gallic chickens could no longer sit still, and they also wanted to get a piece of the pie.
However, the Gallic chicken, which has now declined, is not in the plan of the crossing crowd, and in the game of counterbalance between the crossing crowd, the Gallic chicken has no sense of existence. It also did not have the resources and technology that the Travelers urgently needed, not to mention that many Frenchmen were still immersed in the dreams of the Napoleonic era, and the benefits they demanded in the negotiations with the Travelers were truly unacceptable.
Therefore, none of the joint venture projects on the Liaodong Peninsula are related to Gallic chickens, and it is entirely their own work. However, these arrogant French do not see it that way, and they blame the misjudgment of the situation by the "colonial authorities" of Liaodong in the Great Song Dynasty. In their view, only by getting in touch with the top of the Great Song Dynasty by bypassing this "colonial authority" would they be able to reverse their current disadvantage.
So the Gallic chicken, who has always had a big brain, thought of the idea of fighting the lawsuit all the way to the Supreme Court in the Great Song Dynasty, and then there was a farce of the arrest of three French men with opium.
Of course, what the whimsical Gallic chicken didn't expect was that Huang Xiaolei got a "final judgment" authorization for the court she had set up, and just when he saw that the appeal was hopeless, Fuller found the statute on pardons in the English version of the "Great Song Law" that the traversal provided him with reference.
Although he had not dealt with any criminal cases, Fuller could see that in the current situation, it was difficult for them to get the three French drug dealers away from capital through the pardon clauses of the Great Song Law, which were too inoperable. But the purpose of Fuller and the people behind him to operate this matter was not to let the three nobodies who had already received the settlement fee survive, but to go to the Great Song Dynasty and get in touch with the high-level officials of the Great Song Dynasty.
Lobbying the top brass of the Great Song Dynasty in order to get a share of the Gallic chicken in various joint venture projects was the idea of the bigwigs behind Fuller. But that was not the result that Fuller wanted, and he had a different view of the Great Song Empire imagined by the bigwigs.
As a Frenchman, Fuller was a Jules. A big fan of Verne, he was addicted to the plot of "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea". He had a crazy idea about the Great Song Empire that suddenly appeared on the Liaodong Peninsula. In fact, his crazy idea is already one of the most reliable conjectures about the Great Song Empire in this era. Although almost everyone who has heard of his idea thinks that his idea is too sci-fi.
Although Fuller worked hard to get a pardon for the death penalty at the behest of his real employers. But he boldly speculated that if the Great Song Empire was as he had guessed, then his efforts would not have received any response.
So, he came up with another plan of his own, one derived from his bold guesses. He needs to kidnap a man from the Great Song Dynasty to obtain the secret of the route to the Great Song Dynasty.
He didn't believe the argument that the Great Song people had not returned to their homeland from the sea in the past few hundred years, and had they not repeatedly threatened to send fleets to the Far East? Could it be that their warships are also going to reach the Far East by the so-called airlift? Or was the Royal Navy of the Great Song Dynasty intending to deter the Great Powers with a fleet that would make its first voyage? This doesn't make sense, so this means that the Great Song people have mastered this route to their homeland, and all he has to do is find it!
"Mr. Fu, tobacco is not a big deal here, and I don't want to get involved in this kind of business." After hearing Fuller's statement that there was a big deal, Cai Datou expressed his unwillingness to be involved in the opium trade.
"Opium? No, no, no. What I'm going to ask you to do is quicker than buying and selling opium to make money, and you only need to take one risk to get a good return. Fuller seduced.
"Then it depends on how rich it is?" Cai Datou said with a smile on his mouth, his yellow teeth made people feel very hideous.
"Look, that's part of the deposit!" Fuller shook the glittering gold franc in his hand.
"Well, let's talk about your deal!" Cai Datou replied.
With a generous enough reward, you only need to take a risk, which is already an irresistible temptation for Cai Datou, who advocates the creed of "birds for food and death". As long as this foreign lord does not ask them to assassinate the legendary prince, then everything has to be discussed.
However, when Fuller finished stating the big deal he was going to do, Cai Datou felt that the difficulty of this deal was not much less difficult than asking them to assassinate Zhao Yi.
"Mr. Fu, the risk of this transaction is not ordinary, this is the land of the Great Song Dynasty, there are tens of thousands of Great Song Dynasty people, after this vote is done here, brother, I don't know if I have the life to spend this money. You are all over the place, how much of the remuneration does all these gold and foreign money in your hands account for? "Cai Datou exaggerated the number of garrisons on the Liaodong Peninsula in order to gain an advantage in the bargain.
Although he knew that what Fuller asked him to do was very risky, Cai Datou was still difficult to give up the reward, and he was weighing the relationship between input and output to see if it was worth taking the risk.
"One tenth! These are enough for you to live a life of drinking and drinking for the rest of your life. Fuller felt that he had found the right person, and that only greedy enough people would dare to take such a risk, such as the pigtailed man in front of him, and himself.
"If the money you have in your hand is only one-twentieth of all the honorariums, maybe we will consider doing this vote." Cai Datou doubled the price code.
