Ke Hong can be considered a cunning person, and he instinctively realized that there was something wrong with Li Xiao's identity. But what he didn't expect was that Li Xiao's identity was so special, and he was not French at all. He probably couldn't even think about this.
Can't think of it.
It was precisely because of this that although he urged the British Embassy in France to verify Li Xiao's identity, he did not do so in a hurry, because he felt that he had basically figured out someone's identity, and what was missing was just a confirmation.
If he could work harder and urge more forcefully, things might be slightly different. But if you miss the opportunity, you will miss it forever. History will not give you the opportunity to regret.
But Li Xiao was different. He knew Ke Hong very well, so he went all out and left no room for hindsight.
"This old fox really has a big mouth like a lion!"
After listening to Jan Constantine's report, Li Xiao also sneered. Ke Hong's words were all lies and he couldn't believe a word of them. But this had nothing to do with him. Anyway, what he sent over was just bait, and Ke Hong ate more and more.
The more fragrant it is, the happier he will be.
"Give him the money and see what tricks he has up his sleeve!"
Following Li Xiao's instructions, Jan Constantine's people naturally presented huge sums of money to Cohon with both hands. They were so happy that even Cohon regretted and felt distressed: "The price has been lowered, but these Wallachian bastards are still
It’s so rich!”
Kehong was naturally distressed when the price was low, so he immediately ordered: "Go and tell them again that the last payment was for political asylum, and the next step is to help them transfer their property, which involves taxes and other things.
Payments, these are not free. If you want to ensure the safety of your property, you have to pay!"
Cohon's men were immediately dumbfounded, because there was really no precedent for this. In the past, things were done at a fixed price, so how could there suddenly be taxes and other fees? The British Empire didn't seem to be very good at collecting foreign citizens in foreign countries.
What is the extent of domestic personal income tax?
But they didn't dare to ask in detail, because Cohon had a bad temper. Besides, it was the Wallachian people who were squeezing the money. Although most of it would go into Cohon's pocket, their share would also be the same if they made more money.
If not, why not do more?
Soon, under Li Xiao's instructions, the fat sheep who were eager to escape Wallachia contributed an extra income to Cohon. The level of pleasure made Cohon even more sad, thinking that the fat sheep he had sheltered before were really
Sold cheaply.
"We must learn a lesson. You can't be polite to these Wallachian bastards. The related fees will increase by another 20%! Even 30% is okay!"
This time, the butcher's knife in Cohon's hand was sharply sharpened, and he really wanted to kill people without showing any blood. What's more interesting is that Cohon's killings even affected Perrier's business. The consul general said at the same time
Li Xiao sighed during the chat: "The British are still making money!"
However, the money is not so easy to earn. Because Li Xiao quickly locked in Cohon's two most important confidants-Frank Charlton and Michael Woodward.
One of these two people is the third secretary of the British Consulate General in Wallachia, and the other is the commercial representative of the British Balkan Trading Company in Wallachia. One is responsible for making money, one overtly and the other covertly.
Li Xiao asked with a smile: "Frank Charlton is responsible for providing political asylum documents, and Michael Woodward is responsible for collecting money, right?"
Yang Constantine nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, based on the bait's knowledge and my personal connections, this is probably the case."
Li Xiao nodded and asked: "Then who do you think the account book should be in the hands of these two people?"
Jan Constantine thought for a while and replied: "Michael Woodward is more likely. After all, he is responsible for collecting money. He must have relevant accounts, otherwise there is no way to explain it to Cohon."
Li Xiao nodded again, and before he could speak, Jan Constantine added: "But this Frank Charlton is not a simple character, his role in it is also very crucial, it seems that Cohun
My sister’s son…”
Li Xiao laughed. He always said that nepotism in China is very powerful. In fact, nepotism in the West is even more powerful. It’s all about nepotism, but the West is about democracy and freedom, but China is about secretive manipulation. But look at these Western countries.
Who among the politicians is not a relative or friend? It’s just that they package things better and can easily fool novices who don’t know the truth.
So Li Xiao naturally ordered: "Then invite these two people over and ask them carefully! Anyway, it's either Frank or Michael, you can't escape!"
Yang Constantine was surprised. What he just added was just for insurance, just in case something went wrong so that he could shirk responsibility. Who would have thought that Li Xiao was so domineering and didn't hesitate at all and made a direct decision?
Kill, this is going to be a big deal!
Anyway, Jan Constantine was in a state of confusion, because the British were really not easy to mess with, and they were targeting Cohon's confidants. If word of this got out, it would shake the earth!
It's just that Yang Constantine was afraid a little early, because Li Xiao's next words directly frightened him. He only heard Li Xiao say slowly: "Select a few of the other employees of the British Consulate General.
, arrested them together! The British businessmen also picked a few, and they came with them!"
Jan Constantine swallowed hard. He could understand why Li Xiao did this. It was nothing more than a trick to mix things up. After all, catching Frank and Michael alone was too conspicuous. Even a fool could tell that he was going for Cohong.
, catching a few more British guys and mixing them with sand will not be so eye-catching, so that Ke Hong will not be too alert.
Although it is good to do so, the matter is really too big. Anyway, Jan. Constantine feels that his small shoulders are a bit unable to carry it. Once exposed, the British will definitely sacrifice him to the flag!
So he carefully advised: "Isn't this too... too much of a fanfare? The British are now holding back the evil fire to make a big fuss about seizing Sir Thomas Edwards. If a large number of British citizens disappear again,
I’m afraid it’s not easy to explain!”
Li Xiao smiled: "As you said, the British will not let go of you no matter what. It doesn't matter if there is more or less. What's more, if you do it more skillfully, you can find a suitable framed target to solve the problem.
Deal with it!"
Jan Constantine was trembling when he heard this. What is a suitable target to frame? If you want to make the hint more obvious, wouldn't you be implying that I framed Russia and Wallachia's pro-Russian faction?
But this time Yang Constantine really thought wrong. Li Xiao didn't mean that. His method was more complicated...
