This was in 1819, after which vampire stories flourished, and many novels featuring vampires appeared, many of which were passed down to later generations and had considerable influence. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Xian had made a lot of preparations before, and he had also talked to Wang Jiuxuan, and at this time, Wang Jiuxuan was quite fluent when he talked about the names of these books, and he didn't even pause.

Pan Shicheng is also a fine person, although he was surprised, he was not in a hurry to draw conclusions, and asked the people below to find them one by one according to the names of the books Wang Jiuxuan said.

That is to say, a wealthy merchant like Pan Shicheng has a rich collection of books, and these books can be found instantly.

Many vampire books in Britain are directly published in newspapers such as The Times, and most people do not have them at home, but the Pan family has a very complete collection, and even some publishers have found one or two vampire books published by themselves.

After reading these books, Pan Shicheng broke out in a cold sweat, a rich man like him, what he was most afraid of was this kind of demons and monsters who did not abide by the rules of the human world, and only then did he understand how much this thing was beyond expectations.

Pan Shicheng hurriedly asked the steward to straighten out the home and nursing home, and to strengthen the patrol at night, and sent his right-hand men, holding his own name card, with Wang Jiuxuan and others, to visit the British chief superintendent of commerce in China.

Pan Shicheng's subordinate surnamed Pan, naturally he is also a member of the Pan family, and he is also Pan Shicheng's son and nephew.

Although he did not practice any fame, but this incense was falling, at this time he knew that the matter was important, so he hurriedly took the three of them to the British Chamber of Commerce in Guangzhou, asking to see the Governor of Commerce in China.

Pan Shicheng's name post is still very useful, and when Yilu saw the name post, he immediately invited everyone in.

It's just that the meeting with Yilu is destined not to be as smooth as the meeting with Pan Shicheng.

Wang Jiuxuan explained his intentions, hoping that the British Chamber of Commerce would come forward to investigate and find out what kind of boat those vampires took to Guangzhou, how many people came, and where they currently lived.

"No, no, you can't do that. The British government advocates free trade, and it is the captain's own right to do what business and what goods to carry, and we cannot ask him to divulge his business secrets. Yilu said.

Li Xian looked at the British Chief Superintendent of Commerce in China, that is, the British Consul in China, and lost his mind for a while, the big man, or the culprit who provoked the Opium War, the real executioner.

According to Li Xian's memory, Yilu should have shot in 1801, at the age of thirty-eight, which was the time when he was in the prime of life, and from the outside, it was very good.

Throughout his life, he was known for his conservatism, stubbornness, and arrogance, and his life experience was quite colorful, and he was awarded the title of British Admiral before his death.

The role of Yilu during the Opium War is well understood by the Chinese, but the experience after that may not know much.

At first, Yilu presided over the British war in China, which sought a lot of benefits for the British, but later because he abandoned Zhoushan (called Dinghai at this time) without authorization, and attacked Guangzhou by himself, and the agreement signed with the Qing government did not seek sufficient benefits for the British, so he was dismissed by the British government.

Later, Yilu went to the Republic of Texas in the Americas as the British chargé d'affaires, during which he strongly advised Texas not to merge with the United States, but unfortunately he failed to do so, and left office and returned to China after Texas became a state in the United States.

Upon his return, he served as Governor of Bermuda, then Trinidad, and later as Governor of St. Helena, before retiring and attaining the rank of Admiral in September 1865.

If you don't look at the evil deeds committed by Yilu during the Opium War, from the perspective of the British, he is a legendary.

"If it's an ordinary cargo, my fellow martial arts in Guangzhou has no intention of asking, but since it's a vampire and a monster that hurts the heavens and reason, and it's also a human being, I think it's very reasonable to ask the British Chamber of Commerce to cooperate.

I am looking for the chief overseer today in the hope that you can take the initiative to take the initiative to help us exterminate monsters such as vampires, so that you can still have a good reputation in our country.

If we wait until the government is alarmed and the government comes forward to put pressure before taking action, not to mention delaying the work, and punishing the captain who has done the wrong thing in accordance with the law, it will also damage the reputation of the British businessmen in China. Wang Jiuxuan did not face the consciousness of legends or big people, and sat opposite the righteous law and talked eloquently, without flinching at all.

Hearing Wang Jiuxuan talk about Britain's reputation in China, Yilu's expression moved, but after thinking for a while, he was still unwilling to help.

"According to the Convention of Nations, all matters relating to a merchant who travels abroad shall be dealt with by the government of the country in which the merchant is located, and no other country shall have the right to interfere.

Mr. Wang thought that he would be able to exert pressure by mentioning your government, but he seemed to have miscalculated. Yilu said coldly.

"Oh, so there's such a thing. However, according to the Convention of Nations, a merchant who goes abroad shall be punished by the government of the country where he is located in accordance with the law of his country, and the terms of which the Governor General has spoken have not been heard of. Wang Jiuxuan smiled slightly, but took out a document from his bag and showed it to Yilu.

Before leaving, Li Xian knew that this meeting was very important, so he made all preparations and thought about how to deal with this celebrity with a bad reputation.

Li Xian specially found a cobbler and a tailor to make a leather bag out of fine cowhide, which was still imitated according to the style of a briefcase in the eighties.

Of course, in the modern era, neither Britain nor China is in vogue of this style.

Wang Jiuxuan went out with this weird-style briefcase, he always felt that something was wrong, every time he saw Li Xian, he felt that the other party was secretly laughing, but he couldn't understand what was strange here.

Wang Jiuxuan opened the briefcase at this time, took out a few pieces of paper from it and handed them to Yilu to read, but Yilu was speechless for a while after reading it.

It turns out that what is written on these pieces of paper is the original text of the Convention of Nations, or is it both Chinese and English.

After Yilu arrived in China, he saw that many Qing Dynasty officials did not understand international law and international conventions, and they fooled around the Universal Convention when they had nothing to do, and the effect was really wonderful, but it was the first time that someone directly took out the original text of the Universal Convention and slapped him in the face.
