PS: Seek genuine subscription, seek chase.

"What?"

Hearing Ah Si say that the police were going to seal down Chen Shaobai's newspaper office, Li Yutang suddenly couldn't sit still, and hurriedly got up: "No, I have to go in person, Ah Si will prepare a car to go to the newspaper hall!" ”

In fact, although he is the funder of this newspaper, it doesn't matter to him whether it is closed or not, but Chen Shaobai has just been kidnapped and the newspaper has been closed, and he is afraid that he will be sorry for his old friend.

Yueru looked worried, and asked Li Yutang to be careful with himself, looking at the back of the latter hurrying away, somehow the annoying face of that person appeared in front of him, and even shook his head vigorously and threw the image of that person out of his mind.

If you want to talk about the seizure of the newspaper, it is not that Hua Twelve used his power to retaliate because of yesterday's incident, but that his future father-in-law, Francis Henry May, gave an order.

It is said that the Governor was very unhappy with the crowd and asked Francis Henry May to solve the problem as soon as possible.

Francis Henry May pressed the task down, and it naturally fell to Herbert Smith, who was in charge of law and order in Central.

When Li Yutang arrived at the newspaper office, he had a verbal conflict with his old friend Smith, and in the end, the latter took a step back and only let people destroy the newspaper printing machine, but did not completely seal the newspaper office.

Li Yutang saw in the newspaper the letter that Chen Shaobai had written to him before, but had not yet sent, which contained not only his gratitude for his support for the revolution for many years, but also some regret for pulling his son Li Chongguang into the gang.

However, Chen Shaobai also wrote in the letter that he did not regret this incident, because what they did was for the country and the nation, which is what every descendant of Yan and Huang should do.

Although he complained a little about his old friend pulling his son into the water, he still resolutely decided to continue what his old friend had to do before his disappearance, that is, to continue to publicize Mr. Sun's arrival in Hong Kong and protect Mr. Sun's safety during his stay in Hong Kong.

When even the workers of the newspaper office continued to print the newspaper with wax engraving and handwriting, Li Yutang himself remembered Liu Yubai, the martial champion who once moved the Xiangjiang River.

After he took the opportunity to acquire Jin Liyuan, perhaps out of guilt or out of sympathy, he would give Liu Yubai a silver dollar every day, but suddenly one day, Liu Gongzi, who was nesting in the corner of the street, disappeared.

Li Yutang asked Ah Si to drag him back and forth in the streets and alleys of Central, thinking that if Wu Zhuangyuan helped him protect Mr. Sun's affairs, it would be much smoother.

But what disappointed him was that Liu Yubai seemed to have disappeared in this world, and he didn't meet him after walking a few streets, but by chance, he saw Wang Fuming, who was more than two meters tall and strong in martial arts, who was selling stinky tofu on the street.

Before the police force got off work, Hua Twelve found Smith and said with a smile: "Didn't you say you were going to introduce me to Li Yutang before, I think it's just today, I'll buy some gifts when I go back, let's visit!" ”

Smith was slightly stunned, he was a little unhappy with Li Yutang today, he originally wanted to come to the door to talk about the matter after a few days, but he didn't expect Shen Chongyang to visit today.

If he had shirked it casually before, it would not be too late to wait a few days to say it, but now that Shen Chongyang said that he was the official, it was not easy to refuse, so he could only agree to it.

The two went out of the police station, Hua 12 bought two bottles of foreign wine, called two rickshaws and went straight to the Li family's mansion in Jinliyuan.

In the 'October World', Jin Liyuan was originally the mansion of Liu Yubai's family, and later the Liu family's declining and huge Jin Liyuan was acquired by Li Yutang, and it became the Li family's mansion.

Two rickshaws stopped in front of the Li family's mansion, in the past, merchants came and went here, and it was very late in the city, but today I don't know why the door of the Li family has been closed early.

Smith stepped forward to call the door with a complicated face, and it was an old housekeeper of the Li family who opened the door.

As soon as the Li family's mansion entered the door, it was a hall house, and the decoration was magnificent, and the housekeeper invited the two to sit down, called the next person to serve tea, and then went upstairs to inform his master in person.

After a while, Li Yutang came down from upstairs, and when he saw Smith, he couldn't help but put himself on the main seat with a straight face, and said angrily: "What are you doing here, aren't you going to seize my newspaper, and you still want to arrest my people, are you here to arrest me too!" ”

Li Yutang shouted like this, and the people around him suddenly jumped, and the maids who were passing by upstairs heard their master say this, and immediately thought that someone was here to arrest the master, so frightened that they lost their faces, and hurriedly went to the rooms of several ladies to report the news.

Smith was drinking tea, and when he heard the words, he put down the tea cup in his hand with a wry smile, and said in a very characteristic male duck voice:

"Can you blame me for this? I told you a long time ago that there are some things that can be touched, and some things must not be touched, cousin Yu, this is a territory where the sun never sets, the governor of Hong Kong pressed to the police department, and the police department pressed to me, layer by layer, I can't help it! ”

Li Yutang slapped the table: "Don't forget that you are Chinese, did you give a foreign name and don't know who your ancestor is, ah?" ”

He pointed at Smith and said angrily: "I'm telling you, even if you change this layer of skin, you can't change the things in your blood!" ”

Smith smiled even more wryly: "I know what you said, and I understand everything, but in this place you have to listen to the ...... of the Governor."

He pointed at Li Yutang and then pointed at himself: "Can you compete with the Governor of Hong Kong, or can I, a small Chinese assistant, compete with the Governor of Hong Kong?" It's me who came today, if the police can't control you, the foreigners' gunboats will be parked in the harbor, and no one will reason with you at that time! ”

Li Yutang is not an unreasonable person, in fact, he can understand Smith's distress, and when he talks about it, his resentment towards his old friend is almost gone.

waved his hand and said: "Okay, the matter of the newspaper is settled, but you should always take care of Chen Shaobai's affairs, he was arrested in front of me, and he hacked to death a newspaper worker, it is simply lawless......."

Just when Smith was talking to Li Yutang, the back house got the maid's news and ran out, and saw that his master was chatting with Smith, so he was relieved.

The eldest lady blamed the maid for a few words, and then asked everyone to go back to the house, what should they do, but Smith was not in an ordinary position, and he knew them well, so it would not be good if he didn't say hello.

simply asked the fourth aunt to send a pot of tea on behalf of everyone, and it was not rude to say hello by the way.

Yueru immediately nodded in response, took a pot of hot tea from the next person, and walked down the stairs from the second floor.

At this time, Smith interrupted Li Yutang's words:

"I have already explained Chen Shaobai's affairs, I will inform you as soon as there is news, I didn't come today for these things, last time I was admitted to American and American Yale University, didn't you say that you wanted to get acquainted with Shen SIR, the general assistant of the Chinese, when you set up a wine to celebrate, I didn't have a chance last time, this time I brought someone to you!"

Saying that, Smith cocked his beard and showed a bright smile, and he was about to solemnly introduce Li Yutang and Shen Chongyang.

But at this moment, there was a snap, and there was the sound of the teapot falling to the ground and smashing.

The three of them all turned their heads to look, and saw Li Yutang's fourth aunt Tai Yueru, who was looking at this side in a daze, staring at Shen Chongyang's face, the whole person trembled slightly, and her face was bloodless.
