As soon as the sky turned gray, Ye Chengzhong had already walked briskly out of Liu Taiping's yard and hurriedly walked towards Li Zhen's study. At this time, Ye Chengzhong had not formally knelt down to Liu Taiping.
, but that is just a formality. Now that this relationship has been established, Ye Chengzhong naturally has to take care of Liu Taiping.
Ye Chengzhong was very busy serving tea and water, lighting lamps and delivering medicine, and was very busy serving Mr. Liu. However, Ye Chengzhong not only had to take care of Mr. Liu, he was also busy organizing and processing the basic manuscripts for Li Zhen.
things.
After Li Zhen got up and washed up, he walked into the study. Ye Chengzhong had already hurried out of the house and went to the concession area to find Gu Lina.
Looking at the neat manuscripts on the desk, Li Zhen nodded with satisfaction, feeling very proud in his heart. Ye Chengzhong is indeed a business tycoon in history, and he is so considerate in doing things at such a young age.
Li Zhen turned around and took out a pile of banknotes handed over by Russell, and ordered the soldiers to find Qi Zhenhai, and asked Qi Zhenhai to take some of the banknotes to the bank that opened the banknotes to check the authenticity of the banknotes.
"Boom! Boom!!"
Outside the study, there was a gentle knock on the door.
Li Zhen said: "Come in!"
An attendant hurriedly entered the study, saluted Li Zhen, and said: "Sir, the foreigner imprisoned in the yard has asked to see you again, and asked the villain to deliver the news."
Li Zhen rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Let them wait, um, just say, sir, I am having a meal."
"yes!"
The attendant also had a smirk on his lips, and left the study with cheerful steps.
Li Zhen looked at the banknotes placed on the desk and did not doubt that Russell had bad intentions. He was at least 90% sure that Russell would not dare to cheat. Because once the fraud was revealed, Russell, Bourlon and others would
After receiving the most severe blow from Li Zhen, they did not dare to gamble and could not afford the consequences, so Li Zhen still had a certain degree of confidence.
However, Li Zhen also asked the soldiers to continue to detain Russell and others, because he wanted to let Russell and others feel the anxiety of prisoners, so as to leave a deep impression on these people.
After the attendant left, Li Zhen ordered again: "Come here!"
After a while, an attendant ran out of the study.
Li Zhen ordered: "Send a message to Huang Shihai and tell him that the foreign soldiers detained in the military camp can be released. However, Huang Shihai must warn the group of hairy monkeys not to run around wantonly, otherwise they will be killed without mercy. Let all
The hairy monkey is waiting for Adams, Russell and others outside the camp, do you hear me clearly?"
"Clear!"
The attendant nodded in agreement and left quickly.
Let’s continue with the basic instructions and wait for news from Qi Zhenhai.
About two hours later, Qi Zhenhai returned to the study, with a happy expression on his face, and said with a smile: "Commander, the bank that gave the banknotes to the foreigners is a big bank. It is used nationwide and is very powerful. Although it cannot be used anywhere.
Shanghai can withdraw 10 million taels of silver at a time, but millions of taels can still be withdrawn. After all, their banks are scattered all over the country, and it is impossible to collect so much cash in a short while. I think the banks are trustworthy.
."
Li Zhen said with a smile: "Okay, then let's let those furry monkeys go away and go together."
After that, Li Zhen and Qi Zhenhai left the study and ran towards the courtyard where Rachel and others lived. When they arrived at the courtyard, Rahel, Burlon, Adams, Bao Ling, and the translator that Rachel brought back
, all dressed up and sitting in the yard. These people's things had been packed, and they were waiting for Li Zhen to announce the news. When Li Zhen appeared at the door of the yard, the five people all had a look of joy on their faces.
Finally, it’s almost time to leave Shanghai.
Seeing this, Li Zhen said in a deep voice: "Guys, I have to tell you some bad news."
When speaking, Li Zhen looked serious and seemed very sorry.
When Bao Ling heard this, his brows furrowed into the character "Sichuan", and a flash of worry flashed in his eyes.
Last night, Bao Ling scolded Russell for being stupid, but he obediently gave Li Zhen 10 million taels of silver and handed over the initiative, making him very passive. Even if Li Zhen wanted to verify the authenticity of the bank note, he only needed to
Just give out a small amount, Russell gave away all the money, and Li Zhen said it was what he said, so they had no advantage.
Burlon's heart felt cold, his eyes flashed with anger, and his breathing began to quicken.
Adams' eyes were like daggers, as if he wanted to kill Li Zhen.
Russell clenched his fists tightly, gritted his teeth, and even made a gesture of rushing forward immediately.
At this moment, four people simultaneously believed that Li Zhen had swallowed ten million taels of silver. Together with the translator, five pairs of eyes stared at Li Zhen, with anger, unwillingness, and worry hidden in their eyes.
Even, there is deep helplessness.
Ten million taels of silver were collected easily this time, but there will be no next time.
Qi Zhenhai looked at Li Zhen, unable to guess what Li Zhen was thinking.
Li Zhen coughed twice. He knew clearly what Russell and others were thinking, but he didn't say it out loud. He wanted to tease the four British and French giants. Anyway, he had fallen out with these foreigners, and there would definitely be a big war in the future.
There is nothing to care about. For these foreigners, step on them as hard as you can to make them feel the pain.
Although Russell was angry, he still held on to a glimmer of hope and asked, "General Lee, can we leave?"
Li Zhen said in a deep voice: "What I'm here to tell you is the news about leaving. Alas, I really..."
Having said this, Li Zhen sighed again.
At this time, Russell, Bullon, Bao Ling and Adams confirmed that Li Zhen would not let them leave. Russell knew that his banknote was genuine and shouted: "Li Zhen, my banknote
There is absolutely nothing wrong with the ticket, and the ten million taels of silver are also real. We have not cheated, so do you want to swallow up the ten million taels of silver? Although we are hostile, a man can never go back on his words. "
Adams also yelled: "Li Zhen, you are too insidious."
Bao Ling and Burlong looked angry at the same time, and they both turned into angry-eyed kings, wishing to peel off Li Zhen's skin and cramp him.
Qi Zhenhai couldn't understand what a few people said and could only look at their expressions, but he was filled with joy.
When Li Zhen saw Russell, Bullong and the other four people baring their teeth and claws in anger, he became even more happy. It felt good to play with these foreign devils. Seeing that the effect was almost done, Li Zhen said in a deep voice: "Actually, I sighed.
It's because you are about to leave Shanghai and can't go to Yicui Building to make ducks. Oh, it's such a pity. However, I still hope you come to Shanghai more so that I can make money. And you definitely want to try the feeling of making ducks.
I look forward to your next visit and I will send you there directly."
"Ho! Ho!"
When Rahel heard the word 'duck', he couldn't calm down. He opened his eyes wide, opened his mouth, and pointed at Li Zhen. There was a roar in his throat, and his head was buzzing with anger. In an instant,
, the scene in front of him suddenly darkened, his eyes rolled up, his body leaned back, he fell to the ground with a thud, and passed out.
When Li Zhen saw this, a sneer appeared on his lips, but he did not step forward to help him.
"Li Zhen, you are so shameless, you are simply a devil, a devil..." Bao Ling was older and was so angry that before he could finish his words, he opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood, and his body went limp.
In an instant, two people fell.
Although Bourlon was angry, he hurriedly knelt down to help Rachel. Adams also knelt down and helped Bao Ling. But the eyes he looked at Li Zhen were mixed with various emotions such as anger and fear.
