At noon, Huang Shaohong invited Joanna and Wiggans to have lunch together. The former wanted to stay here to learn martial arts, so he readily agreed. The latter may feel that he was embarrassed, so he went back to the ship on the pretext of something else, but anyone can

You can see the unhappy look on this guy's face.

After lunch, Lin Yunkai began to teach Joanna to practice basic skills. Aunt Thirteen and Yacasu were also taught together.

Pork Rong and the people from the militia brought back all the firearms, both long and short guns. The long gun was the British 'Lee-enfield rifle', which is also the Lee rifle, and the short gun was the '6-round repeating revolver', which was made in Britain.

'Webley Revolver'.

According to Joanna, the 'Webley Revolver' is already a pistol equipped by the British regular army. Even unknown troops like Wiggans are not qualified to equip it. Of course, this is mainly because it is too expensive compared to flintlock short guns.

.

Huang Shaohong really didn't expect that revolvers already existed in this era, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed immediately. The revolver was easy to use, and the rotating wheel was equivalent to having a magazine. The six-shot series was easy to hide, so it couldn't be better for assassination or something.

These firearms and bullets were packed in more than twenty large boxes. There were also two separate large wooden boxes containing two Maxim heavy machine guns.

The manager of the British Camp family who came with the pork boom was a middle-aged foreigner named "Epnin". He looked like a philistine. He said bluntly to Huang Shaohong:

"If it weren't for Miss Joanna, we would never sell you these weapons. After all, this order is too small!"

"In addition, I would like to remind you, sir, that these firearms were originally intended to be sold to your Qing government. Because of Miss Joanna's request, these weapons were temporarily diverted from the orders of the Qing government..."

"So other weapons are fine. It's best not to use these two Maxim heavy machine guns for a short period of time. If the news is leaked, we will be in trouble!"

Huang Shaohong nodded calmly, these two things were bought to deal with foreign devils like you, and of course they will not be used lightly.

After both parties inspected and confirmed that the goods were correct, Epuning did the calculations, including the gun, ammunition, and wrote the price on a receipt and handed it to Huang Shaohong.

Huang Shaohong was shocked after just one glance. The other party actually offered these weapons 800,000 silver dollars, which was said to be the price after discount.

He really wanted to roll up his arms and sleeves and ask the other party what he was doing? Damn... what was Ming grabbing?

At this moment, Huang Shaohong even had the urge to kill all these foreigners. He took the price list and took a closer look, and found that the most expensive one was the Maxim Heavy Machine Gun. Each machine gun costs 200,000.

Silver dollar.

This does not include the cost of ammunition. It is said that this gun can shoot 600 rounds of bullets per minute. It is simply a money-burning machine.

The arms dealer observed his words and saw Huang Shaohong's expression turned ugly when he saw the price of the heavy machine gun. He immediately smiled and said:

"It doesn't matter if you don't buy it. When Li Hongzhang of the Qing Dynasty came to visit our British Empire, he took a fancy to this Maxim heavy machine gun. At that time, he also said that it was too expensive. In the end, he only bought 3 of them and went back to study. Listen.

It is said that the 'Jinling Manufacturing Bureau' of the Qing Dynasty had already started imitation..."

"But I heard that the imitation products have too many problems, so they have been discontinued, but there are still some finished products left. If you want to buy cheap ones, for the sake of Miss Joanna, I can contact you and buy the defective ones.

Taste!"

"Nima, you said it was a defective product, and you still asked me to buy it. This is Chiguoguo's contempt!" Of course Huang Shaohong couldn't give in. He really needed this thing, so he immediately gritted his teeth and said: "Who said I won't buy it?

Wait here for me to get you money!"

He turned back to his room and sorted out the silver dollars in his suitcase. More than 520,000 silver dollars were put back into the original three large boxes. After they were sorted, it was called Pork Rong. Lin Yunkai and others came in to move the money.

After the three big boxes were moved out, Huang Shaohong painfully took out the red sandalwood box containing the gold bars, thinking that these should be enough, but the reality was cruel, silver dollars plus gold bars were still not enough.

Huang Shaohong had to supplement Bao Zhilin's savings over the past two generations, and then he could barely scrape together enough money.

Seeing Epuning commanding his men to leave with the money, Huang Shaohong secretly cursed the British for being too profiteers. If the money was more modern, it would probably be enough to buy a row of rocket launchers if it went to the American empire.

Zhu Zhurong led the militiamen to withdraw first, and while Thirteenth Aunt and Joanna were learning kung fu together, he put all the weapons into his luggage without unpacking them.

Putting away his weapons, Huang Shaohong sat in the flower hall, looking at the martial arts students in the courtyard outside, thinking about killing a few more gangs to enrich his pockets, when the door of Baozhilin was suddenly pushed open.

.

I saw the newly appointed admiral rushing in with a group of soldiers. Lin Yunkai, who was teaching martial arts, quickly turned around to stop him: "What do you want to do?"

The Admiral smiled proudly and said: "Someone reported that Bao Zhilin purchased firearms privately. I will search Bao Zhilin!"

He glanced around and couldn't help but be startled when he saw Joanna. Then he bowed slightly and saw Huang Shaohong sitting in the flower hall. He immediately came over with a big smile: "Huang Feihong, I want to search your Baozhilin!"

He spoke with a sure look, as if he was certain that firearms would be found in Baozhilin.

The people in Baozhilin were all panicked, because they all knew about Huang Shaohong's purchase of weapons. Lin Yunkai even pulled out a red-tasseled gun from the weapons rack, shook the gun, and the tip of the gun trembled: "Let's see who dares to search!"

The admiral's face darkened. Instead of looking at Lin Yunkai, he looked at Huang Feihong and said gloomily: "Huang Feihong, do you Bao Zhilin want to rebel?"

Huang Shaohong calmly picked up the tea cup next to him, took a sip, and then said to Lin Yunkai: "Let him search!"

"Phenom!"

"Master!"

Aunt Thirteen and Lin Yunkai both exclaimed. They couldn't figure out what Huang Shaohong was thinking. The firearm was clearly in the courtyard behind the flower hall. If the Qing soldiers searched it, wouldn't it mean that the stolen goods were stolen?

Huang Shaohong was speechless. Isn't there three hundred taels of silver in this place? However, he also knew that he could not blame Aunt Thirteen and the others. After all, they all thought that the firearms were at the back.

Joanna stepped forward and said: "Sir, I am also a disciple of Bao Zhilin, can you give me some face?"

She spoke in English, but the Admiral was also fluent in foreign languages. He naturally heard it clearly and said with a smile on his face: "Miss, this is an internal matter of our Qing Dynasty. Although you have a noble status, you cannot

Obstructing the government from handling the case!"

Huang Shaohong waved his hand towards Joanna: "No need to stop me, let them search it!"

The Admiral was afraid that Joanna would block it, so he took advantage of Huang Shaohong's words and waved his hand: "Search for me!"

All his Qing soldiers rushed in immediately, and in a short time they turned the entire Baozhilin into a mess, but found nothing.

The Admiral continued to receive reports from his subordinates, and no firearms were found in Baozhilin.

He was confident that the information he received was absolutely reliable, so he naturally did not believe what his subordinates said and went to search it himself. The results surprised him. He searched inside and outside but there was no trace of firearms.

The admiral gave Huang Shaohong a last hard look, and then said to the Qing soldiers: "Let's go!"

"Slow down!" Huang Shaohong took a step forward and stood in front of the admiral. The latter asked angrily: "Huang Feihong, what do you want to do?"

Huang Shaohong waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to be nervous, and then said calmly: "The Admiral said he was handling the case, so I opened the door for you to search, but you didn't find anything. Doesn't that prove Huang's innocence?"

The admiral snorted coldly: "Don't say it too early. If you are guilty or not, I have to investigate carefully first!"

Huang Shaohong smiled and said: "Let's not talk about it for now. Judging from the evidence currently available to the Admiral, Huang is still innocent, right?"

The Admiral was furious when he was questioned like this, but he thought that there were international friends present. He turned around and saw that the British aristocratic girl was looking here, and the buck-toothed guy next to him was translating for her.

His conversation with Huang Shaohong.

He immediately gave him an ugly smile, and then replied to Huang Shaohong: "So far it seems like this!"

Huang Shaohong then pointed to various places in Baozhilin and said: "Since Huang is innocent, my lord's subordinates broke the vases and teacups, damaged the doors, tables and chairs. Do we need to compensate for these losses?"

What about leaving after that?"

"It's a joke, there's no reason for compensation when the court handles a case!" the admiral said with a confident sneer.

Huang Shaohong turned to Joanna: "Apprentice, later on, send what you saw and heard today to your British newspaper, so that foreign friends can also see the virtues of our officials in the Qing Dynasty!"

Listening to Yacasu's translation, Joanna was startled at first, then she thought about it randomly and said with a smile: "Yes, Master, I will publicize this matter when I get back, so that our European society can also see the true face of the Qing officials.

!”

"You..." the admiral pointed at Huang Shaohong. He was so angry that he couldn't speak. After a while, he took out a banknote from his sleeve and threw it over: "Keep it for buying a coffin!" After that, he turned and left.

.

Huang Shaohong took it and looked at the number of "five hundred dragon oceans" on it and put it away with satisfaction, then shouted to the admiral who hurriedly left: "Don't worry, I bought a coffin for you to keep!"

The admiral who was about to go out suddenly staggered. If he hadn't been supported by his own soldiers, he might have fallen here in a fight!

After the admiral left, Joanna stepped forward and said: "Master, this matter will never be revealed by my people!" She did not doubt the loyalty of her family's subordinates at all.
Chapter completed!
