Chapter 108: Frankenstein and the Vampire

"However, this righteous law is also a consul of a country, will it be easy to do what we say?" Li Xian was a little worried. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"What's so hard about that. This righteous law is just a foreign merchant leader, let him help us track down the whereabouts of the monster, does he dare to listen?" Wang Jiuxuan felt good about himself, and felt that the other party did not have the confidence to reject the three-element view at all.

This can be regarded as a common problem of the Qing people in this era, looking down on all foreigners, feeling superior to others, just telling them what their international situation is is useless, let alone meaningless.

Li Xian thought about it, and gave up the idea of explaining the situation in Britain to Wang Jiuxuan.

"Well, most of these vampires look like foreigners, and it's right to go to the British consul.

However, let's say okay, if you go to Yilu, you must take me with you, and I also want to see what kind of person this foreign leader is. Li Xian proposed.

"No problem, it's a little thing for me. Wang Jiuxuan patted his chest and agreed, not taking this matter as a big deal at all.

So, after the affairs of the Fuwei Dart Bureau were arranged, Li Xian followed Wang Jiuxuan to Guangzhou together, and Lin Pingzhi, as the main person, naturally had to go over together.

Guangzhou is not far from Foshan, and the three of them set off from the Fuwei Dart Bureau early and arrived in Guangzhou soon.

Wang Jiuxuan said that he wanted to visit Yilu, but in fact, he had never dealt with the British Chamber of Commerce, and he still had to find an introducer.

At this time, the general merchant of the Thirteen Foreign Banks was Wu Bingjian, but the Wu family had too close relations with the British and was too involved in the opium business, so Wang Jiuxuan decided to visit another giant of the Thirteen Foreign Companies, Pan Shicheng, the descendant of the former general merchant Pan Zhencheng.

The Pan family is a big figure in the business world, with a net worth of tens of millions of taels, and its influence and influence in Guangzhou cannot be underestimated.

However, Wang Jiuxuan has a big face, or a big face in Sanyuanguan, so he went to Pan's house to hand over a famous thorn, and soon a steward came out to invite them in.

Pan Shicheng was thirty-six years old at this time, but he was a dignified old rich man, and he was very polite when he saw Wang Jiuxuan and others, and he didn't have any arrogance.

Li Xian's heart was tumbling, this is the richest man, well, the second richest man, if it is in the modern world, it is difficult to ask someone for an autograph.

After some greetings, Wang Jiuxuan explained his intentions, hoping that the Pan family would help introduce Yilu, the president of the British Chamber of Commerce, and ask the British to help recruit the people of the Blue Bat Sect.

Most of the people from the Blue Bat Sect came to the Qing Kingdom, and most of them were on foreign merchant ships that came to China to do business, and they really needed the help of foreign merchants to investigate how many people from the Blue Bat Sect came over, how many masters there were, and where they were hiding now.

After Pan Shicheng listened, he groaned for a while, and finally spoke.

"I heard Wang Shaoxia talk about the matter of the Green Bat Sect, and he said that the Green Bat Sect and the Fuwei Dart Bureau had a holiday, and they were wiped out by the ancestors of the Lin family hundreds of years ago, and now they are going to take revenge, or by the way, they are greedy for some martial arts cheats or something.

However, this matter is a dispute between two martial arts sects, and it has nothing to do with others, so do you need to be so popular?

Even if Sanyuanguan has a close relationship with the Fuwei Dart Bureau and wants to help the Lin family, it should be to bring the heads of the two sides together, have a cup of tea and talk about a judgment, and make it clear that the carriage and horses say a charter, is it necessary to alarm a figure like the British consul?"

Lin Pingzhi's face changed, and he couldn't help but say something.

Wang Jiuxuan had already expected it, and said with a smile: "Grandpa Pan is also reasonable, if it is just a battle between ordinary sects, my Sanyuan Concept should be a bowl of water, let everyone solve it by themselves."

As long as it doesn't go too far and hurt the innocent, this kind of thing is originally innocuous and harmless.

However, this Blue Bat Sect is different, it is composed of a group of monsters, it acts as a big abnormal person, and likes to suck human blood, and all martial arts colleagues must be punished.

Let's just say that in the battle ten days ago, the Blue Bat Sect was defeated and retreated from the Fuwei Dart Bureau, and all the members were injured, and in the past few days, I heard that many people in Foshan, Wangxia and Guangzhou were attacked by monsters, and the blood of the whole body was sucked clean.

This friend of mine specially wrote a biography, called 'The Legend of the Hero Lin Yuantu Laughing Proud Jianghu', specifically saying that this vampire is harmful, and asked Master Pan to take a look. ”

Wang Jiuxuan took out a few pieces of paper from his bag and showed them to Pan Shicheng.

During this time, the Lin family found someone to copy Li Xian's article, and made more than 1,000 copies in a short period of time.

"And things like that. Pan Shicheng took the paper suspiciously, and immediately changed his expression after reading it: "Is there really such a monster in this world that specializes in sucking human blood?"

Wang Jiuxuan talked about the Blue Bat Sect before, Pan Shicheng only thought it was an ordinary sect from Nanyang, and only after reading it did he know that there was such a shocking thing.

"This is true, some time ago, in the battle, the Fuwei Dart Bureau killed a lot of vampires, and the corpses were hidden in the secret room.

If Master Pan doesn't believe it, you can send someone to take a look, this kind of monster looks very different from my people in Middle-earth, and it is not the same as ordinary foreigners, you can know it at a glance.

In addition, when the Qingbat faction was replaced by the Ming and Qing dynasties, it caused a monstrous blood debt in my Guangzhou territory, and many historical books and county chronicles and government chronicles have records, which can also be known by a check.

Moreover, monsters such as vampires have been raging in the continent of Europa for a long time, and foreigners have also suffered from them, and many articles have described them, such as the British poet Byron and others have published books exposing the dangers of vampires. ”

Wang Jiuxuan casually named several books, including local records and private writings from the Qing Dynasty, as well as books from Britain and other places.

It is rumored that the English poet Byron wrote a novel called "Vampire", which is the earliest influential literary work about vampires, but there are many fallacies in it.

On one occasion Byron traveled to Switzerland with his assistant Puerto Rido, where he met with Mary Shelley, the wife of the poet Shelley, and offered to write a ghost story each.

Byron himself wrote stories about vampires, and his assistant found inspiration for them to write novels about "vampires".

When Portolido published the novel, the publisher changed the author's name from Portolido to Byron to attract attention, and it really worked wonders, attracting many readers at once, and even became the originator of many vampire novels after that.

The memorable story in this story is that Shelley's wife, Mary Shelley, is also quite famous for her ghost story, called "Frankenstein", that is, "Frankenstein", it seems that it is good for humans to gather more, at least to inspire each other.
