The next day and night, while everyone in the prison was asleep, the military advisor quietly released Hong Ying.
When it dawned the next day, An Lan and An Jiang were crying for their mother, and Liu Yong found out that Hong Ying was no longer in prison. Liu Yong didn't know where Hong Ying was, and no one told him. He was worried, lest Hong Ying fall into the hands of lustful people. .
But when Liu Yong thought about it carefully, he felt that it was strange. No matter how beautiful Hong Ying was, he was no longer young. Dongmei and Yin Qiumei were in their prime, and they both looked fresh and fresh. They didn't move, so why bother to touch Hong Ying? Woolen cloth?
Hong Ying walked out of prison and went straight back to Liu Heng Shun Silk Road.
Since Liu Yong's family was arrested, Liu Qing and his clerk Zhang Song have been in Silk Road with the door closed all day. In the middle of the night, they heard someone knocking on the door and were too frightened to say a word.
Hong Ying shouted easily: It's me, open the door.
Liu Ting was overjoyed when he heard it was Hong Ying's voice. He said to himself: It's my sister-in-law's voice! My brother's family must be back.
Liu Ting ran to open the door and saw that only Hong Ying was alone. He put his head around and asked: Sister-in-law, where is my brother? Where are my nephew and the others?
Hong Ying hurried in, closed the door, and said to him: Don't worry, they can go home in a few days.
Liu Qing asked again: Sister-in-law, why did King Du let you go home alone?
Hong Ying said without any doubt: Don't ask any more questions, just do as I tell you.
Hong Ying instructed Liu Qing to quickly get a boat and take the only 10,000 taels of silver note on his account to go to Shanghai.
At first, Liu Ting was a little suspicious, but he was thinking in his mind: Could it be that his sister-in-law wanted to run away with the money? He also felt that his sister-in-law was not such a person, but it was too much for a female prostitute to go out alone on a boat with a huge banknote. It was dangerous, so he volunteered to send Hong Ying to Shanghai with him.
Hong Ying thought: That's fine, but you can send me to Shanghai and then return the same way, without me.
Hong Ying had a road blocked by the king himself, so their journey to Shanghai was smooth. Liu Qing sent Hong Ying to Waibaidu Wharf. Hong Ying said: I didn’t expect there to be so many checkpoints on this road. You don’t have a road. I might not be able to return, so I might as well go to Hengshun Foreign Trade Co., Ltd. for a temporary stay instead of returning to Nanxun.
Liu Ting responded: OK, just wait, I'll hire a carriage, and let's go to Liu Hengshun Foreign Trade Co., Ltd.
Hong Ying shook his head and said: You can just go and don't worry about me. Remember, if anyone asks in the future, don't say that you sent me to Shanghai.
Hong Ying smiled faintly and turned around to leave. Liu Qing was extremely confused and had an uneasy premonition in his heart.
After Hong Ying and Liu Qing separated, they hired a sedan and rushed to Tang Yanghe's residence.
Tang Yanghe and Hong Ying had met several times, and were extremely frightened when Hong Ying arrived alone.
Hong Ying said: Mr. Tang, can you take a step to speak?
Tang Yanghe smiled and said: Come in quickly, what are you doing standing at the door?
Hong Ying said: Go to the teahouse next door and talk!
Tang Yanghe saw that Hong Ying looked wrong and guessed that she was in trouble. He nodded quickly and said, "Okay, let's go to the teahouse to talk."
After arriving at the teahouse and entering the private room, Tang Yanghe asked: Is Mrs. Liu in trouble?
Hong Ying nodded and told the whole story about King Du forcing them to buy guns, which shocked Tang Yanghe.
Hong Ying said with tears in his eyes: Mr. Tang, my father and four children are all suffering in prison. Only you can save them now. As long as I send the guns, I can save the father and the children.
Tang Yanghe said: It is not difficult to get guns in Shanghai, but have you thought about the consequences?
Hong Yingdao: Of course I know. But don’t worry, I just ask you to show me a way. I will find a foreigner to do business, and I will never hurt you.
Tang Yanghe thought for a moment and said: Go to Shiliupu Wharf to find a man nicknamed "Little Pock". This man has pockmarks on his face, so everyone calls him "Little Pock", but his surname is Zhang. You have met him.
He said, "Auntie is here." Then he knew that he was one of his own. He would take you to find a foreigner to trade. You just need to pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other. You must have your banknotes ready.
Hong Ying asked again: Who is that aunt?
Tang Yanghe smiled and said: Where is that aunt? This is a code. Foreign arms are not sold casually. By the way, you must not say that they are for the Taiping Army. The foreigners are incompatible with them.
Hong Ying nodded and said: Then I will say it is for the Armed Self-Defense Group.
Tang Yanghe smiled and said: As long as it is not given to the Taiping Army, everything else will be fine.
Hong Ying stood up and saluted and said: Thank you Mr. Tang for your great kindness. Hong Ying will definitely thank you in the future.
Tang Yanghe said: Mr. Liu and I have been friends for many years. Everyone knows what Mr. Liu is like. There is no need to thank you. Just don’t involve me in everything in the future.
Hong Ying said sternly: Mr. Tang, please rest assured, even though I am a female prostitute, I will not lead anyone out even if I am a swordsman or a sea of fire.
Hong Ying left the teahouse and went straight to Shop 16. According to Tang Yanghe's guidance, she came to a French company to inquire about the whereabouts of 'Little Mazi'. At this time, a young man appeared in front of Hong Ying, but there was something'
Mazi' asked: Madam, are you looking for me?
Hong Ying asked: Are you Boss Zhang?
'Little Mazi' couldn't help but laugh, and said: I'm the one, I wonder what you want from me?
Hong Ying said hurriedly: Auntie is here. She asked me to come to you.
When 'Little Mazi' heard this, he hurriedly said: Come with me, let me take a step to talk.
‘Little Mazi’ took Hong Ying to a secluded place and asked: What does the madam want?
Hong Ying got straight to the point: I want two hundred foreign guns.
'Little Mazi' said: Oh, so many?
Hong Ying thought he was worried about the money, so he said: I have brought all the money.
‘Little Mazi’ asked: What are guns used for? Why do you, a woman, get such a thing?
Hong Ying said calmly: My father is a rich man in Wujiang. The world is in chaos. The family has recruited a group to train, and he must be equipped with a gun. Originally, my father wanted to do it by himself, but before he left, he suffered from a backache and he has no son.
, so I came.
'Little Mazi' asked suspiciously: You are a woman who has left the cabinet, how come you still take care of your mother's family's affairs?
Hong Ying smiled and said, my father only has a daughter, and he has a son-in-law!
'Little Mazi' was still worried and asked: I heard that the 'Lance' over there in Zhejiang was in urgent need of guns, and men like them couldn't pretend to be with long hair, so they sent a woman. It was possible.
Mo Lian said angrily: Those 'lances' that can kill a thousand swords have caused chaos everywhere. My father is armed with guns just to deal with Changmao.
'Little Mazi' saw Hong Ying scolding the Taiping Army, and then he felt relieved and said: Two hundred guns, exactly 7,500 taels of silver, can be shipped the day after tomorrow, but how will you transport them?
Hong Ying smiled and said: Don't worry, just load the ship for me. In three days, my father's regiment training troops will all come to Shanghai. Who are you afraid of if you have foreign guns? If you encounter a 'spear', just kill it all the way.
.
When Hong Ying left Shiliupu Pier, she felt relieved when she saw that things were going so smoothly. At night, she felt she had nowhere to go, so she found an inn to rest.
After Liu Ting broke up with Hong Ying, he became more and more suspicious of Hong Ying's behavior, so he secretly followed her. When he saw Hong Ying resting at the inn, he also went to the inn and asked for a room next to Hong Ying to rest. He always paid attention to the movements in the next room. The night was relatively peaceful.
The Shiliupu Pier was very lively in the morning, with people coming and going. Qiu Xiancha passed by the Shiliupu Pier.
"Brother Liang" Suddenly, a familiar voice called Qiu Xiancha. Qiu Xiancha turned around and saw that it was Hong Ying.
The former dream lover suddenly met here today and was overjoyed. Of course, he knew that now she was his adopted brother's wife and his sister-in-law, but he still said happily: Oh, why are you here too?
Hong Ying did not directly answer Qiu Xiancha's question, but said anxiously: Do you have any banknotes with you? Are there any banks in Shanghai?
Qiu Xiancha had a lot of banknotes with him because he was going to buy goods. He nodded and said: I have it, how much do you want?
Hong Ying said: A total of ten thousand taels are needed.
Qiu Xiancha couldn't help but ask: What do you use this money for?
Hong Ying said anxiously: "Don't ask any more questions. Lend me the banknote first. I need it urgently!"
Qiu Xiancha hurriedly took out the banknotes, picked four and handed them to Hong Ying: Each one here is worth 2,500 taels, which is exactly 10,000.
Hong Ying took the banknote, said "Thank you" and hurried away.
Qiu Xiancha couldn't help but follow Hong Ying. Hong Ying was wary and turned around several times, but Qiu Xiancha dodged him.
Liu Ting was shocked when he saw Hong Ying and Qiu Xiancha dating here. Everyone has heard about the original episode between Hong Ying and Qiu Xiancha. Now they are in tandem. Could it be that they are disconnected? After a few turns, they can There was no trace of them. Liu Ting squatted on the road, holding his head in his hands, feeling a little guilty. Now that the Liu family was in trouble, Hong Ying ran away with Qiu Xiancha, right? If that was the case, then he would have to kill his mistress If he was sent to Shanghai, wouldn't he become an accomplice? How should I explain myself?
Qiu Xiancha couldn't help but follow Hong Ying. Hong Ying was wary and turned around several times, but Qiu Xiancha dodged him.
Qiu Xiancha saw Hong Ying boarding a French ocean liner, and he couldn't get any closer.
Hong Ying got on the ocean liner, and 'Little Mazi' and the foreign businessmen on the ocean liner were waiting for her.
Hong Ying gave the French businessman three silver notes totaling 7,500 taels, and "Little Mazi" signaled to load 200 guns onto the cargo ship hired by Hong Ying. In order to avoid being noticed, the cargo ship parked beside the ocean liner. On the outside, the gun was completely wrapped in an umbrella. After loading the gun, it was covered tightly with an oilcloth. When the cargo ship sailed out of the dock, Qiu Xiancha looked at the ship from a distance, still not knowing what was inside.
Hong Ying knew Qiu Xiancha was watching on the pier, so she waved to him calmly. This chapter has been completed!
