Chapter 9 The Intellectual and Bold

Jixun and Wigans were invited by the admiral almost at the same time.

Wigans came to Jixun's ship to discuss: "Mr. Jixun, the Qing admiral is going to invite us to the banquet. What do you think he means?"

Jixun sneered, "What's the point? But he felt that he had won and wanted to show off in front of us. Damn lower nation, damn yellow-skinned monkey."

Jixun's Chinese is a good word, and it can be regarded as a "Chinese master". He has studied the personalities of the Qing court officials, and they almost all want to save face.

The admiral invited guests, except to show off his power, Jixun could not think of a second possibility.

Wigans nodded and said, "This time, the Qing people won. We want to buy their vegetables and fruits for twenty times the price. Mr. Jixun, what are your plans? Will you go to the banquet?"

Jixun said, "Go. Why not? If we don't, those lowly Qing people would think we are afraid. The money we lost will be earned back from the Qing people."

Jixun thought of the young and beautiful women in his cabin and smiled. He could definitely sell these Qing women to the American continent for a lot of money.

Wigans said: "OK. Then let's go together. I want to see, what the hell is the yellow-skinned monkey in the Qing Dynasty?"

...

The Admiral's Office has set up a banquet.

In order to entertain foreigners, the admiral made a very grand meal and the dishes were very rich, and it was mainly Cantonese cuisine.

The admiral asked, "Yu Chunqiu, can you say it now? Why do you want me to invite Mr. Jixun and General Wigans to dinner?"

Yu Chunqiu said: "How can you trick them out of the concession if the Admiral doesn't invite the two foreign devils to dinner?"

The admiral's face changed and he looked at Yu Chunqiu vigilantly: "You boy want to make trouble again?"

The vegetables and fruits that monopolize Foshan and sell them to the concession at a high price. Since the foreigners compromise, the admiral did not want to cause trouble.

With the way to make money, everyone is in peace, so why bother? The admiral is busy collecting money and almost no longer causes trouble for Huang Feihong and the militia.

Now Yu Chunqiu is going to make trouble again and make trouble.

The admiral was very dissatisfied.

Yu Chunqiu said: "Does the Admiral know that there are dozens of people who have come to the yamen to report the disappearance cases recently. Every family is missing is a young and beautiful woman."

The Admiral also heard about the woman's disappearance. But he didn't care. The Foshan prefect should be in charge of the matter, and it has nothing to do with the Admiral's Mansion.

Moreover, not only women disappeared, but even men are young and strong. The admiral has become accustomed to it.

The admiral frowned: "What do you mean...this matter is related to foreigners?"

Yu Chunqiu nodded and said, "Foreigners colluded with Shahe Gang to secretly arrest and traffickers. Huang Feihong from Baozhilin also knew about this. If I was not wrong, those young and strong women would definitely be detained in Jixun's merchant ship. Admiral, what foreigners do is a very evil crime and cannot be ignored. You can't ignore it."

The admiral was weak and afraid of death, greedy for money and lust, and feared foreigners. However, Yu Chunqiu had to pull him into the water to resist the foreigners together.

Yu Chunqiu is just a headmaster, and some things are unsolvable by himself.

The admiral asked, “What do you want to do?”

Yu Chunqiu said: "Detain Jixun and Wigans and force them to release them."

The admiral's face was a little pale and his hands were trembling. He was both worried and afraid.

Yu Chunqiu smiled and said, "Sir, Huang Feihong and the militia are ready. We are now in power, so please make a decision early."

The admiral pointed at Yu Chunqiu: "You...you also colluded with Huang Feihong and the people of the militia?" He felt that he would sooner or later be killed by Yu Chunqiu, a ignorant boy.

Deputy Chief Wang came in and reported: "Admiral, Chief Yu, Mr. Jixun and General Wigans have arrived."

The admiral took a deep breath, calmed down, and squeezed out a reluctant smile: "Please."

...

After Jixun and Wigans sat down, they did not move the dishes on the table and stared at the admiral.

Jixun sneered: "Sir Admiral, just tell us what you have to do. Wigans and I don't have so much time to chat with you. I plan to leave Foshan tomorrow and go back to the United States."

Yu Chunqiu felt a sense of gratitude.

Fortunately, I asked the Admiral to make an appointment with Jixun and Wigans today.

If it was a little slower, maybe Jixun would really have taken those young and beautiful women to the United States.

If this is true, even if Yu Chunqiu has the golden finger of the power system, he will probably be unable to rescue him.

The admiral stammered and said, "This, our museum..."

Yu Chunqiu said, "Mr. Jixun, you misunderstood. It's not that the Admiral has something to say, but I'm treating you to dinner."

Jixun and Wigans looked at Yu Chunqiu in surprise.

"You're treating us?"

Yu Chunqiu nodded and said, "Yes. I have made so much money from you, so I should thank you. The way we Chinese people thank people is to treat people to dinner."

Jixun and Wigans thought to themselves that they were right, the damn yellow-skinned monkey was here to show off to him.

Jixun sneered, "Yu Chunqiu, what is your identity? You are just a yamen captain. Even if you Admiral meet us Western gentlemen, you must give in to three points. What qualifications do you have to invite us?"

Wigans said: "I have been to Beijing. The high-ranking officials there dare not offend me when they see me. Yu Chunqiu is not afraid to tell you that I have notified the British Empire Consulate to hold Empress Dowager Cixi accountable. Your court will help us clean up yours."

The admiral was frightened. The Lafayette in the capital already knew what he did in Foshan?

Jixun stood up and said, "Wigens, let's go."

Yu Chunqiu calmly said: "Since you two have left the concession, it will not be so easy to go back. Master Yan."

Yan Zhendong appeared at the door and blocked Jixun and Wigans' way.

Jixun took out the musket.

Wigans also pulled out the musket at his waist.

With the lesson from the last time, both of them were muskets.

Yu Chunqiu was faster than them: "Must gun? I have it too!"

The musket in Yu Chunqiu's hand was the one Yan Zhendong snatched from Jixun last time.

Yu Chunqiu's musket had already hit Jixun's temple.

Yan Zhendong rushed to Wigans and kicked off the musket in his hand.

Jixun said angrily: "Yu Chunqiu, how dare you kill me? I am an American."

Wigans said: "I am a nobleman of the British Empire. Yu Chunqiu, Admiral, you cannot treat me like this. Otherwise, you will declare war on the British Empire."

Yu Chunqiu ignored Ji Xun and Wigans, but said to Yan Zhendong: "Master Yan, Mr. Ji Xun's bodyguard seems to have healed. You can beat him to death now."

Yan Zhendong nodded and said, "Okay."

Jixun's bodyguard is tall and has muscles all over his body. He practices boxing and is more than enough to beat ordinary people. However, facing a martial arts master like Yan Zhendong, he can only be killed.

Jixun's bodyguard was prepared this time, but he was not defeated by Yan Zhendong with one move. His punches and feet hit Yan Zhendong, as if it was itching to Yan Zhendong, without causing any harm.

Yan Zhendong's iron cloth shirt has a great psychological impact on foreigners. Jixun and the others were stunned and thought Yan Zhendong understood Eastern witchcraft.

Jixun's bodyguard's eyes were filled with fear.

Yan Zhendong smiled and said, "Foreign devils, your fist is quite powerful. But my iron cloth shirt is invulnerable to swords and guns. It's my turn to take the call!"

Yan Zhendong launched a fierce attack and attacked rapidly.

In less than three rounds, Jixun's bodyguard was killed by Yan Zhendong's heavy punch.

Yu Chunqiu set off Jixun's pistol: "Mr. Jixun, General Wigans, you see, I really dare to kill people. Not to mention threatening me with the old witch Cixi who is thousands of miles away, even if you invite me to the Heavenly King, I am not afraid. Now we can sit down and talk about your human trafficking issue calmly, right?"

Jixun, Wigans, and Admiral were all shocked by Yu Chunqiu's cruelty.

Yu Chunqiu dared to kill even foreigners.

He is simply bold and lawless.

Jixun said: "What is human trafficking? Yu Chunqiu, I don't know what you are talking about."

Yu Chunqiu stared at Jixun and said coldly: "Mr. Jixun, let go of the young and strong who deceived the boat and the Chinese women who were secretly arrested, and then hand over the Shahe Gang, and I will let you live. Otherwise, I will send you to see Jesus."

Jixun's pupils shrank, and a shocked expression appeared on his face. It turned out that Yu Chunqiu knew everything.

Yu Chunqiu asked Yan Zhendong to kill the bodyguard to let Jixun know that Yu Chunqiu, a lunatic, really dared to kill foreigners.

Foreigners are not afraid of government offices or ordinary people, but they are afraid of lunatics like Yu Chunqiu.

Wigans hurriedly said, "Mr. Jixun, promise him that we will let the person go. Otherwise he will really kill us."

Jixun nodded and said, "Okay. Let's let others go. However, you must ensure our personal safety."

Yu Chunqiu breathed a sigh of relief in secret.

Finally got the Jixun and Wigans done.
