Chapter 245: The True Conspiracy (I)

Xu Changqing's question seemed to hit the point, the expression of the Western woman paused slightly, her eyes were introverted, as if she was thinking about something, and her hand was holding the wine glass and shaking unconsciously. After a long while, she drank all the red wine in the glass as if she had made some serious decision, and said with a solemn expression: "Since Mr. Xu wants to know, I can also tell you, I hope Mr. will not spread the word." Then he puffed up his chest as if he had plucked up his courage and said, "As you might expect, there is indeed a secret hidden in this golden statue of Quetzalcoatl, and this secret is the location of the legendary gold country in South America." ”

"The country of gold?" Xu Changqing's face showed a rare trace of confusion, obviously he didn't know much about this so-called country of gold, and only vaguely remembered where he had heard such a name. As the name suggests, this so-called country of gold is supposed to be an ancient South American relic with great treasures. For Xu Changqing, the treasures of the secular world had completely lost their allure, so after hearing the answer, he no longer had much interest in this matter.

The Western woman didn't seem to see the indifference in Xu Changqing's eyes, and continued: "I just heard that Mr. Xu treated the heir of the He family with hysteria, and the He family will definitely be grateful to Mr. If Mr. can come forward for me to ask the He family to buy the golden statue, then the He family is embarrassed, and with the relationship of the Chen family, there is a ninety percent chance that Mr. will agree. When this is done, I am willing to pay a handsome fee to thank him, and I can also make a contract that when I have found the land of gold, I will divide all the treasures there. ”

"It's really fascinating. Xu Changqing smiled and said, "But I'm curious, listening to your tone, your family is also very powerful, why don't you come out and buy that golden statue from He's family?"

"I tried, but the He family neither recognized his ancestor as the leader of the Blue Flag Gang, nor did they admit that there was that golden statue. The Western woman sighed and said, "If I hadn't had conclusive evidence that he was the descendant of the leader of the Blue Flag Gang, that golden statue would have been buried in the tomb of the ancestors of the He family......"

"The dead are great! It's no wonder that the He family doesn't admit it. For us Chinese people, no matter how precious the funeral goods are, their descendants will not do this kind of thing of digging ancestral graves. In contrast, you Westerners are very good at this kind of grave digging business. Xu Changqing sarcastically sneered with a little disdain, and continued: "In addition, aren't you Westerners very good at suppressing people with power? Why don't you borrow the power of the British authorities in Hong Kong to put pressure on the He family?"

"Mr. Xu, it's a strange question you asked. Do you know where the treasure is, and then declare it out loud, or is it one of the virtues of your Chinese people? The Western woman retorted without showing weakness, and then said: "The relationship between my family and the British is not harmonious, and the importance of the He family to the British authorities in Hong Kong is far greater than you think, sir, the He family is not only the general agent of the British opium business in East Asia, but also under the leadership of British politicians, it has become the arms agent of Britain, France, Spain and Portugal in Southeast Asia. In East Asia, my family's strength cannot be compared with the He family at all, let alone put pressure on the He family. ”

"How can the He family have such a big power?" After Xu Changqing heard this, his heart moved, he recalled some things in his mind, frowned and pondered for a moment, and couldn't help but secretly say: "Good boy, the picture is not small!"

It was only now that Xu Changqing fully understood Chen Hui's thoughts, and was slightly surprised by his ambition. Xu Changqing was almost certain that the He family's arms business must now be in He Ling's hands, otherwise He Ling, a woman from a local tyrant family who did not have any inheritance rights, would never have held such an important position in the Alliance. Chen Hui approached He Ling and had a relationship with him, probably because he wanted to take over the entire arms trade from He Ling through the means of marriage.

Although the League has ostensibly taken power and occupies half of the country, if you think about it carefully, you can see that this half of the country is not firmly seated. One of the biggest reasons is that there is no large arsenal in the south controlled by the League, and almost all of the Alliance's ordnance needs to be purchased from outside. If Chen Hui can fully grasp the arms trade in He Ling's hands, then he is very likely to make the Chen family's collateral completely fill the power vacancy after the Chen family leaves, so that his collateral family can officially replace the Chen family and become the largest official businessman in the Republic of China.

Xu Changqing didn't feel disgusted by Chen Hui's ambitions, but appreciated them a little, and he didn't want to meddle in the battle between the two families next to the Chen family, so he didn't plan to continue to study Chen Hui's mind at this moment. The Western woman on the side didn't know that Xu Changqing's mind had flown to other places, and thought that he was considering whether to cooperate with him, so he didn't say anything and sat quietly on the side.

"I'm sorry, I'm not interested in that golden country, these worldly treasures are of no use to me. Xu Changqing retracted his thoughts, bluntly refused, then stood up, picked up his clothes, and prepared to leave, as if he had thought of something, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Father Matthews and I have a very close relationship, since he can write a letter for you, I don't want to help you at all, just send you a message! As far as I know, the grave of the ancestor of the He family is extremely secret, and only a few members of the He family know about it. If you don't want to lose the clue in the end, it's best to go to the He family tonight, because the He family will have a big incident tonight. ”

The Western woman was stunned for a moment, then quickly smiled, nodded and said, "Thank you!" Then she took out a beautiful golden card from her bag, handed it to Xu Changqing, and said, "If Mr. Xu goes to Paris, France, you can find my family's business with the address above, and I hope to have the opportunity to entertain Mr. Xu well." ”

Xu Changqing didn't refuse, took the card from the Western woman's hand, looked at the text on it, and saw that it was written in French and Spanish, and was slightly puzzled, and couldn't help but recite the name on it: "Catherine Estamba Catalina?" After reading this name, he couldn't help but think of a character in a collection of Western legends that he read when he was a child, so he asked with a little curiosity: "May I ask Miss Catherine, who ......is the legendary Spanish pirate fire girl Catalina?"

"She is my ancestor. Without waiting for Xu Changqing to finish asking, Catherine pulled her fiery red head and replied.

Xu Changqing smiled, rarely took the initiative to reach over and shake Catherine's hand, and said: "It really honors me to be able to meet the descendants of the Fire Girl! I was an admirer of your ancestors when I was a child, and the reason why I worshipped her was not because she was the most outstanding pirate at that time, but mainly because she was loyal to her own country, which made people have to admire. followed by a slight wry smile, and laughed at himself in Chinese: "If I, a Chinese Chinese, can love and be loyal to the country like your ancestors, maybe I won't be the broken mountains and rivers I am now." ”

After saying that, regardless of whether Catherine understood it or not, she said no more, put the card in the pocket of her coat, opened the door, and walked out.
