Lan Weiwen slightly arched her back and said respectfully: "I've met your Excellency, Lan Weiwen."
Li Zhen nodded and said nothing.
After hearing what Lan Weiwen said, Smith was suddenly shocked.
Li Zhen showed his intention to recruit and asked him to meet at Daotai Mansion. Smith thought that Li Zhen was a son of an official, but he did not expect that he was an official, and he was a higher official than Lan Weiwen. At this time, Smith
They were all stunned. Smith and Li Zhen were about the same age, both in their early twenties. Li Zhen was already older than Lan Weiwen at such a young age, which showed that his status was not simple.
Yang Fang asked: "Brother Lan, who is this person?"
Yang Fugui stared at Li Zhen resentfully and said boldly: "Uncle Lan, who is this kid? Do you need to be afraid of him? Huh, if it doesn't work, ask dad to donate a high official to you and suppress him directly.
Let’s see what he dares to do?:
When Lan Weiwen heard this, she was almost crying.
This situation is so unfortunate.
It was even more embarrassing for him when he met a silly boy like Yang Fugui.
A forced smile appeared on Lan Weiwen's face, she pointed at Li Zhen and said: "Brother Yang, this is the new Mr. Li of Shanghai Daotai that I mentioned to you. Originally, I wanted to introduce Mr. Li to you.
But I didn’t expect that we bumped into each other today and a little misunderstanding occurred. As the saying goes, there is no acquaintance without fighting, so let’s treat today’s matter as a misunderstanding, and everyone should not..."
"Asshole!"
Li Zhen heard this and shouted loudly.
Lan Weiwen shivered and immediately closed her mouth. Her face turned pale and she was so frightened that she almost fell to the ground.
Yang Fang grabbed Lan Weiwen and said, "Brother Lan, it's just a small Taoist platform, don't be afraid."
Li Zhen sneered twice. A businessman with some money and connections was so arrogant that he really thought he was invincible. Li Zhen had a plan in mind, but ignored Yang Fang, looked at Lan Weiwen, and asked: "Do you think Yang
Does it make sense?"
Lan Weiwen shook her head one after another, expressing her disagreement with Yang Fang's words.
At the same time, Lan Weiwen also broke free from Yang Fang's hand.
Li Zhen shouted: "In that case, why are you still standing there? Are you protecting Yang Fang from the wind and rain?"
When Lan Weiwen heard this, she knew she had to give up Yang Fang.
Lan Weiwen knew about Li Zhen's methods. In the past, Yang Nenge and Li Zhen fought against each other, and Yang Nengge was killed. Although he was the one who killed Yang Nengge, it was Li Zhen who planned it. Now he has angered Li Zhen,
There must be no good fruit to eat. Lan Weiwen decisively walked to Li Zhen and whispered: "My lord, what happened today was demeaning and derelict in duty. Please be punished."
Li Zhen snorted coldly: "We'll talk about your business when we get back."
Lan Weiwen stood obediently next to Li Zhen and asked all the officials who came to disperse.
Yang Fang's expression remained unchanged, showing no fear.
In the past, when Yang Nengge was in charge of the Shanghai Daotai, he had to act based on his face. Now there is a new Shanghai Daotai. Even if he is the leader, he is just a dragon crossing the river. He is no match for this local snake. I want to deal with him.
It's impossible.
Yang Fang said in a deep voice: "I didn't expect Master Daotai to be so young. He is such a handsome young man. It's a pity that he has a bad temper. When I visited Jiangsu Governor Xu Naizhao in the past, I was even a guest of Master Xu, but now I am scolded by Master Yang.
, Mr. Li’s arrogance is even greater than Mr. Xu’s.”
There was a look of disdain in Li Zhen's eyes, using his power to overwhelm others?
Humph, who wouldn’t?
Li Zhen said unhurriedly: "The governor salutes you three points, but you are still a common person under my rule. However, according to you, when I met with the emperor, the emperor asked me to have a meal with him and rewarded him
He is wearing a yellow mantle, and it seems to be much bigger than your Master Xu."
"you……"
Yang Fang's eyes widened, showing a depressed expression.
Li Zhen smiled contemptuously and secretly said who is more afraid of who in the background?
Xu Naizhao was just a governor of Jiangsu. If he came to Shanghai, Li Zhen would not be afraid. Li Zhen also had the support of Qi Shan, the Imperial Envoy of the Jiangbei Camp, and Guiliang, the Minister of War. Xu Naizhao was nothing!
Yang Fang thought for a while and then said: "Master Li, I have friendship with the British Consul A Liguo and the French Consul Aitang. If you anger me, you will not be able to stand in Shanghai. If you know the truth, admit your mistake immediately. You are
Shanghai Daotai, I don’t want your woman anymore, as long as you bow your head and admit your mistake, this matter will be over."
Yang Fang resented Li Zhen in his heart, but still lowered his demands.
After all, the person in front of me is still an official.
Li Zhen scratched his head and said: "You have been kicked in the head by a donkey. Do you really think you can cover the sky with one hand?"
Yang Fang frowned and frowned. He did not expect Li Zhen to be so tough. Yang Fang said solemnly: "Master Yang, although you are a Shanghai Taoist, you are nothing in front of foreigners. It is not worth offending me."
"Hahaha……"
Li Zhen laughed loudly and said: "Yang Fang, Yang Fang, you have lived like a dog for so many years."
"Who do you think you are, that you can command Aili Kingdom and Aitang?"
"If I offend you, what can I do?"
"In the past, the country of Ali held a special banquet to invite me. There were countless celebrities at the banquet. Why was there no sign of you? You are just a dog of foreigners. A dog relies on human power.
"Do you think Aliguo and Aitang can scare me? You are wrong. Adams, the commander of the British fleet, was captured by me, and Russell, the commander of the French fleet, also had a leg injured by me. Commanders of the British and French fleets, I
If you are not afraid, why should you be afraid of a small businessman like you?"
"You think you are right, but you don't know that you have offended people you shouldn't have offended. You should go back and reflect on it."
"With my order, the Yang Mansion collapsed."
Li Zhen said in a deep voice: "Just today, Aliguo and Aitang left my residence in despair. Since you have the ability, go and ask them to take action. I will see what you are capable of."
Yang Fang's heart skipped a beat, secretly thinking something was wrong.
However, Yang Fang would not take the initiative to admit his mistake, and said coldly: "Master Li, my son is just like this, and he can't change it. If you want to arrest him, please feel free to do so. I am waiting at your house at any time."
After saying that, Yang Fang said in a deep voice: "Let's go back home."
Yang Fang took Yang Fugui and a group of people lying on the ground and left in a swaggering manner.
Li Zhen watched Yang Fang and others leave with a sneer on his lips.
It is really naive for a person who only has a little money to think that he is invincible.
Li Zhen looked at Smith and said with a smile: "Smith, you heard it, I am the new Shanghai Daotai, and I am also the new Jiang Customs Supervisor, responsible for Shanghai Customs. Because I often deal with foreigners, I need a foreigner who is proficient in Chinese.
Friend, I hope to get your help, you can consider it."
Li Zhen is proficient in foreign languages, but it’s okay to show off occasionally, but it’s better to speak Chinese.
Smith said: "Sir, let me think about it."
Li Zhen nodded, without urging, and left with Zhou Xiuying. Lan Weiwen followed, with her back slightly arched and her butt bumping. Li Zhen said nothing along the way, and Lan Weiwen was also very uneasy.
disturbed.
The quieter it is, the more it feels like the calm before the storm.
After returning home, Zhou Xiuying went to the backyard, Li Zhen sat down in the hall, and Lan Weiwen stood in fear.
