Listening to Tao Ziyun's suggestion, Xie Fujun laughed dumbly: "Master Tao, I have been to that place in Jingdezhen many times, and it was there that I met Bruce Dodge, all to buy porcelain from there and sell it everywhere. Listening to what Master Tao said, it seems that there is no place to play. ”

Tao Ziyun explained: "Do you think it's not uncommon to go there, Master Sang doesn't seem to have been? Besides, going there to do business is completely different from going there to play. Of course, other places worth going to play, of course, Tengwang Pavilion and Poyang Lake, you haven't been to play, right? Take a cruise to the big lake to drink and feast, that is a very romantic thing. ”

In this regard, Sang Benyuan felt that it didn't matter: "It doesn't matter if I've been there or not, as long as you go, I'll go and play with you." ”

Jie Fujun, who was full of respect for Sang Motoyuan, heard Sang Motohara's point of view, and immediately changed his tone: "Okay, I won't express different opinions, what Master Sang said is reasonable, and I am ready to be consistent with Master Sang now." ”

"Brother Tao, we might as well send an invitation to Brother Gu and invite that foreigner to play together. He Renzhi, who thought about it for a while, proposed a new yì to Tao Ziyun.

Tao Ziyun understood that He Renzhi wanted to have a showdown with the foreigner and Sang Benyuan at the same time, so that Sang Benyuan and the foreigner could be together, and at the same time give up the opium business in the Qing Dynasty.

Anyway, Tao Ziyun also wanted to solve this matter as soon as possible, so he turned to Xie Fujun and said, "Brother Jie, you know where Bruce Dodge lives, so I will trouble you to go to this matter." I had a relationship with that foreigner, and if you said you were going to play with me, he would definitely agree. ”

"The foreigner lives in the church, and it is most appropriate for me to call him. You wait for me here, and I'll come back when I go. "Everyone has finished washing, and the annoyance king has left them. Flew away.

He Renzhi bravely took responsibility and said: "Today's sunshine is very beautiful, let's go to Poyang Lake to take a boat to drink and feast, I propose to invite you to go out to play, and I should be responsible for the purchase of wine and food." After Brother Xie brought the foreigner back, they went to Master Sang's Xianggan Hotel together to buy the necessary wine and food. ”

"It's up to you. Tao Ziyun took advantage of the situation to guide He Renzhi and said: "In the future, you have to take more responsibility, be a responsible person, and Ha Leak will have a good impression of you more and more." ”

"Haha, make Ha Leak happy. That's what drives me. Brother Tao, don't worry, I will work hard. He Renzhi agreed with one bite.

As soon as they fell to the ground, Tao Ziyun took the initiative to greet him and said, "Mr. Dodge, it's been a long time!

"Where! I'm an unappreciated person, and I used to want to study in the country. The officials in the capital did not agree. This time I came here to do business, and I didn't get the governor's preferential treatment. I was asked to participate in all the outings that Master Tao was traveling with, which really gave me face. In this way, it is still Lord Tao who is good to me!" Bruce Dodge said to Tao Ziyun gratefully.

He Renzhi knew that the next step was not necessarily the ending that made the foreigner grateful. He urgently diverted the topic to Bruce Dodge: "Needless to say, let's go to the lake and buy food at the Xianggan Hotel." ”

Each of them ordered a few dishes. Let the people of Xianggan Hotel hurry up and do it, and then they flew to the edge of Poyang Lake.

He Renzhi stepped forward and rented a pleasure boat for the rowers to drive into the sparkling Poyang Lake.

They set up a feast under the silk tent of the pleasure boat. During the banquet, they did not chant poems to seek the appearance of elegance and romance, but they each told a lot of stories and jokes, which was really enjoyable!

What should be said, Tao Ziyun still has to say in the end: "Mr. Dodge, you are honest, what kind of business have you been doing with Master Sang and them recently?"

"Our business, your brother He Renzhi is present, I don't need to say, we are open enough. Bruce Dodge made it clear, but it was a little subtle.

"That's the famous opium of your crow country, something that makes people addicted to it and then mutilate their bodies. Tao Ziyun further explained as calmly as possible: "On the eve of the opening of the Crow Games in your crow country, you came to the envoy group to invite the Qing Dynasty to watch the ceremony, and they once talked about opium, and the envoys all admitted that there were dangerous things, and you could not sell them in the Qing Dynasty. Before you came to the lake, you thought I was good to you, and now I really persuade you like this for your good, listen to my persuasion!"

When Xie Fujun heard that the atmosphere was wrong, he hurriedly responded: "Don't be afraid, Lord Tao, this situation, foreign friends have also told us, as long as we don't smoke ourselves, it's okay!"

Tao Ziyun became more and more stern: "To put it lightly, anyway, if you don't smoke it yourself, you don't think you need to be afraid?" Brother Xie and Master Sang, you are playing with fire! In order to prevent you from playing with fire and self-immolation, return those opiums to Mr. Dodge!"

Xie Fujun listened to Tao Ziyun's strict words, and couldn't help but look at Sang Benyuan!

Sang Motoyuan smiled bitterly and said to Tao Ziyun: "Master Tao, it turns out that you and He Renzhi invited us out to play in order to set up a Hongmen banquet for us! In this way, who are you for? I don't see it. We're kind of a friendship, aren't we? We're not going to kill them all for your benefit, are we?"

Tao Ziyun patiently persuaded Sang Benyuan: "Master Sang, you are wrong, I just want to cancel this transaction for the sake of our friendship." If I want to kill them all, I will hold you accountable! Now it is enough to go to prison, if you insist on doing things that do not conform to the laws and regulations of the Qing Dynasty, you will fall deeper and deeper, and eventually you will be beheaded by the imperial court. When that time comes, how much money you make, you don't have a chance to use. You can think that I ask you to do this not only for your good, but also for the good of the people and the country. ”

Xie Fujun asked coldly: "Master Tao wants to force his way out, and force us to obey by force?"

Tao Ziyun solemnly told the troubled king: "I just persuade you to stop, and I won't use force unless I have to." It's for your good, and for Mr. Dodge's good, that you cancel this business, and I will never hold you accountable. ”

"We've bought that batch of opium, and if we sell it, we can make a lot of money. Just by what you say, let us waste the money we want to have, and we can't help but feel too much money. For now, I'm going to teach you how to do it!See if you have the ability to stop us, let's take action!" (To be continued......)
