Chapter 24: Daluozi (Chinese)

Bao Ling did not expect that the Wukou Business Co-organizer Shi Shiran only brought two followers and took an American businessman's steamship to Hong Kong Island.

Two large sailboats were moored near Xiyingpan Wharf, and the entire wharf was under martial law. More than a hundred British soldiers were on high alert. There were many sacks near the west side of the wharf, and they didn't know what goods they were carrying. Next to the piles of sacks, there were two or three hundred Qing soldiers who had been disgraced, squatting there dejectedly. There were more than a dozen British soldiers guarding them, aiming their shaky bayonets at them.

Bao Ling set up tables, chairs and parasols nearby. As the negotiation site, there were the Qing army prisoners squatting on the ground more than ten steps away. Some of them were full of fear on their faces, while others were full of anger and different spirits. There was also a prisoner who was tied up in front of the team, covered in blood. I don’t know whether it was because of his resistance when he was arrested or because he was sentenced after being arrested.

Two cups of coffee on the table, You took out a sweat towel to help Ye Zhao wrap his injured palm. The new army soldier was even more infuriated, and several people stood up suddenly.

"Squat down! Squat down!" The British soldier shouted loudly in stiff Chinese at the gunpoint of the people.

But more and more people stood up, and even raised their heads and chests to meet the British army's cold bayonets. The British army retreated one after another, and some people blew the whistle. Not far away, a large number of Indian mercenaries ran quickly.

Ye Zhao walked over and sat back to the table. Bao Ling looked at the scene in surprise, looking at the handkerchief on Ye Zhao's hand that was soaked with blood very quickly.

"Governor! My people and I will be allowed to deal with today." Ye Zhao looked calm, "Seven hundred and sixty-three people, either stayed all of them, stained with blood, or I would take them back one by one."

"You, you are completely savage! You are threatening me!" Bao Ling's face turned pale with anger.

The God of Warrior's face was determined and his hand touched his waist. With just one word from Ye Zhao, he was about to stab the old foreign devil in front of him three or six holes. Li Sanshui, who was stunned by the scene just now, looked at Ye Zhao's blood-burning hands, his fists became tighter and tighter, and a trace of blood flowed out of the corner of his mouth, but he unknowingly bit his lips.

At this time, a white man with bruised face and blonde curly hair came over with British soldiers. Needless to say, this must be the first mate Cook who caused the trouble.

"Mr. Cook! This is what you want to see, right?" Ye Zhao asked coldly without waiting for Bao Ling to speak.

How could Cook think that a fight would make both sides tense? A war broke out every minute, but he was unable to get on the verge of being stubborn, "This is not the result I want to see, but the responsibility lies entirely with your soldiers."

Ye Zhao stared at him for a few glances and smiled, "Mr. Cook, you are not an honest person. Can I think so? Because of your dishonestness, the merchant ships you serve must also have problems? Mr. Cook, unless I can't go back to Guangzhou today, I promise you that the Seagull, no, any merchant ship that hires you will be subject to the most severe scrutiny at the Wukou Customs! I can also guarantee that any businessman who does business with the Qing Dynasty will stay away from you!"

"General! You are too much!" Bao Ling looked calm and felt depressed. In fact, whether Cook's words were really not the point. However, when the sailors drove the ship back to Hong Kong, some were held hostage by the Qing army. Naturally, he wanted to protect the interests of the citizens of the British Empire. He took the opportunity to make it difficult for the Qing officials to fulfill his wishes. Who told these officials to stay in the door? Then you have to ask me to ask me for it yourself.

Who knew that this young Qing official did not play according to common sense, and did not negotiate with him to pay the money according to the convention, but he made him more and more passive. He could not really go to war with the Qing Dynasty, right?

Bao Ling was about to speak, but Cook, whose face was blue and white, suddenly whispered in his ear, and Bao Ling's face became even more ugly.

Ye Zhao stood up and said with a relaxed face: "Can we leave now? Governor? I hope this misunderstanding will not affect your and my cooperation. We will go back to Guangzhou to rest for a few days. I still keep my promise to cooperate with Governor to wipe out pirates. "

Bao Ling suddenly changed his smile and stood up with a smile: "Our doctor arrives soon, the general's hand needs good care."

Ye Zhao smiled: "No need, military affairs are busy, so I will talk to the Governor in detail another day."
