The reason was that a batch of smuggled tobacco was seized at the wharf, but they did not expect that those tobacco dealers had guns, and fled to the Fusang Concession after a fierce battle with the police. The police chased them to the Fusang Concession and negotiated with the Fusang people, wanting to enter the area to check, but they were refused. Originally, the Chinese police did not hold out much hope, so they wanted to be stationed outside the concession to see the opportunity to act.

Unexpectedly, many merchants or patriots among the onlookers had long been dissatisfied with the dirty behavior of the Fusang Concession, and soon rioted, and by the time Meng Changge heard the news, three Fusang people had already died, and the bullets that killed them were used by the Chinese police.

So Ueda Katsu, as a representative of Fusang, put pressure on Meng Changge, hoping that he would execute those Chinese policemen as soon as possible, and second, under the pretext of China's lack of law and order, he wanted to send more Fusang troops to guard the safety of the Fusang concession.

The wolf ambition of the Fusang people was clearly revealed, Meng Changge categorically refused, he knew very well that this was a long-planned incident, if he compromised, then in addition to facing the pressure of public opinion, more will be exchanged for the Fusang people's gains.

After a full stalemate, the policemen were locked up, and a telegram from the Fusang military was sent from a fief, and several officials in the headquarters had sided with the Fusang people, hoping that Meng Changge would put peace between the two countries first.

However, the people were upset about the few policemen who were enforcing the law, and many people gathered to demonstrate outside the headquarters, hoping that Meng Changge could strictly investigate the violations of law and discipline in the Fusang Concession and vent his anger for the people.

The strong pressure made Meng Changge's drug addiction more and more serious, and the demand was also increasing, and it seemed that only in this short period of paralysis could he get real relaxation.

Lu Ning was also very sad when he saw Meng Changge's appearance, and after hesitating again and again, he still told him, "Commander, Shen Yunqi sent someone to spread the word just now, he wants to see you, so he will make an appointment in the Splendid Palace tonight!" ”

Meng Changge forcibly recovered his spirit and rubbed his forehead, "Just refuse." The person who came was not good, what kind of mess did he come to add to at this time? ”

"I'm afraid I can't refuse, because he said it's about Miss Ah Ying, you must go!" Lu Ning said embarrassedly.

It's really pinching your own weakness! The corners of Meng Changge's mouth couldn't help but sneer.

When you come to the Splendid Palace, the inside has been completely renewed. At the front of the elegant seat, Shen Yunqi was waiting for him, and what Meng Changge didn't expect was that there was also Ueda Sheng.

Ueda Sheng looked at him and said with a smile, "It seems that Shen Ye still has a big face, so he can let Commander Nangong come." ”

Meng Changge nodded politely and stopped talking. At this point, he didn't want to pretend to be any more hypocritical.

Ueda Katsu didn't feel embarrassed, poured him a glass of wine, and said, "Actually, I want to see you, Commander, and I want to have a good talk with you." ”

Meng Changge glanced at Shen Yunqi and asked, "What does Mr. Ueda want to talk about?" ”

"Of course, it's still the tricky thing." Ueda Katsudo, "But I also want to persuade the commander here, Commander, it is not harmful for you to agree to these two conditions, on the contrary, we Fuso will thank you for your support and will also give you corresponding help." Isn't such a win-win situation bad, why bother with sabre-rattling! ”

Meng Changge didn't speak, as if he was seriously considering, but his eyes fell on the song and dance in front of him.

The seemingly lively atmosphere was surging with dark currents, and finally, Meng Changge spoke, "Unfortunately, what I think is different from Mr. Ueda, I don't care about the position of this commander, but I care about the bottom line as a Chinese!" ”

Ueda Sheng's face changed, and he was about to have a seizure, but he was held down by Shen Yunqi.

Shen Yunqi played with a cigar and applauded, "What Commander Nangong said is really righteous and righteous, but I don't know if what you do is the same?" ”

Meng Changge heard the sarcasm in his words, and said coldly, "Shen Yunqi, what do you want to say?"

Shen Yunqi smiled proudly, lit the cigar in his hand, and stretched it in the direction of Meng Changge, "Is the commander familiar with this smell?" It doesn't matter if you're not familiar with it, this is not an ordinary product, but the latest one, and I'll send it over one day for the commander to taste! ”

This smell was so familiar, Meng Changge hurriedly covered his mouth and nose, but the little itch in his heart was hooked, enlarging and eating away at his will little by little, and his body involuntarily spasmed.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Lu Ning hurriedly stepped forward and wanted to take him away, but was stopped by the people of the Splendid Palace. And most of the soldiers they brought were waiting outside, and only the two of them came in.

Meng Changge forcibly held on and said, "Since words are not speculative, I will leave first!" ”

Shen Yunqi stretched out his hand to stop him, and the two fought, originally the two were equal, but now Meng Changge's drug addiction was provoked, and he quickly fell behind. Seeing Meng Changge half-kneeling on the ground, cold sweat had already wet his sideburns, and at this time, Meng Changge's embarrassment was seen by Shen Yunqi, and he suddenly felt extremely happy.

Shen Yunqi was still pinching the cigar and whispered in front of him, "Nangong Qingduo, you are just a lost dog at this time!" ”

After saying that, he stood up and shouted loudly, "Look, it turns out that our Nangong Commander is also an addict!" ”

At this time, reporters who had been arranged in advance picked up their cameras one after another, lest they miss this big news.

Soon, "the commander turned out to be an addict, and the smoking ban became a dead letter!" The news spread all over the streets and alleys, and public opinion immediately criticized Meng Changge. Meng Changge encountered such a setback, but for the first time he felt powerless, he deeply hated himself for not being angry, causing the current situation.

For three whole days, he locked himself in his room without eating or drinking, and no matter how hard Lu Ning persuaded him, he didn't open the door.

And Fusang also took the opportunity to increase his troops and stationed directly outside Jinyang City. And the commander of the six provinces headed by Lin Yuanfan, the overseer of Huaiyuan, wanted to take advantage of this wave of public opinion to want the six provinces to become independent and break away from the Nangong family. The generals who originally supported the Nangong family were also shaken at this time, and at this time, the entire thirteen provinces of Jiangdong were facing an unprecedented crisis.

In order to make the alliance stronger, Ueda Katsu once again proposed a marriage to Shen Yunqi, hoping that Shen Yunqi could marry Lin Hui, the eldest daughter of Lin Yuanfan's widow, so that the interests of the Ueda family, the Lin family, and Shen Yunqi could be tightly tied together.

Lin Hui was three years older than Shen Yunqi, and was originally married to a powerful person, but he was widowed less than a year after marriage, inherited a large amount of property from her husband's family, and became a Kefu. Lin Yuanfan originally disagreed, but seeing that Shen Yunqi was a young talent, with strong financial resources, and he had just died of his fiancée, who was in the same situation as his daughter, and had Fusang as a backer, he was also relieved, and now it depends on Shen Yunqi's attitude.

Shen Yunqi weighed it again and again, knowing that although he was rich, he had no military power, and he would always be inferior to Meng Changge, if he borrowed the Lin family's momentum, then his road to revenge would go faster. As long as he succeeds, that Lin Hui is just an outcast, just like Meng Qinru at the beginning. So he agreed to the marriage and sent a generous dowry to the Lin family.

There was such a big turmoil outside, but Luo Ying didn't hear it at all. Shen Yunqi put her under house arrest again and cut off all contact with the outside world.

After not seeing Shen Yunqi for a few days, Luo Ying felt faintly uneasy in her heart.

When Shen Yunqi came back, Luo Ying saw that his face was very bad, and she just wanted to ask him, but saw him take out a train ticket and give it to her. Luo Ying glanced at the train ticket, it was to Nanping Town, and asked a little puzzled, "Do you want me to go back to Nanping Town?" ”
