The Yang family ransacked their property and found a total of 5.6 million taels of silver.
This time, it can be said to be a bumper harvest.
Li Zhen ransacked Yang Nenge's house last time, and now Yang Fang's house, plus the hundreds of thousands of taels of silver extorted from Aliguo and Aitang, as well as the money in Li Zhen's own hands, it was already
A net worth approaching tens of millions.
Li Zhen withdrew his troops and returned home, and began to list Yang Fang's crimes.
It is said that the name is not just and the words are not right. Li Zhen sent troops to destroy Yang Fang. Naturally, he listed various crimes against Yang Fang and set up a banner of justice for himself. Some bribed court officials, some embezzled other people's property, and some
There are those who seize wives and those who are loan sharks... Mr. Qianqian listed a total of eighteen crimes, all of which are shocking crimes.
All the crimes were enough to make Yang Fang die a hundred times.
Li Zhen even accused Yang Fang of treason. The reason was that dragon robes, dragon underwear and other items were found in Yang Fang's house, and Yang Fang was listed as a bandit of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
Yang Fang and his son are already dead. There is no evidence of their deaths, so the charge of treason can be considered confirmed.
Early the next morning, news spread that the Yang Mansion had been destroyed.
At the same time, all the crimes Li Zhen listed against Yang Fang were posted. For a time, there was an uproar in the city of Shanghai. The people clapped their hands and applauded, and the businessmen breathed a sigh of relief. Without Yang Fang, at least there was no one who bullied the market.
However, for a small number of people, this is undoubtedly a huge blow.
These people are undoubtedly Aliguo and others.
British Consulate, in the study.
Aliguo paced back and forth in the study with his hands behind his back, an anxious look on his face.
Aitang and Ma Hui sat quietly, saying nothing.
Aliguo said in a deep voice: "You two, don't you have any ideas about Yang Fang? Li Zhen came to Shanghai and first killed Yang Nengge, so that we lost the spokesperson of Shanghai officialdom. Now he killed Yang Fang, so that
We have lost the spokesperson of the business community. Without Yang Nengge and Yang Fang, it is difficult for us to carry out trade. In other words, we are in trouble in Shanghai."
Aitang sighed: "Old friend, although I say so, Li Zhen is very difficult to deal with. We tried to deal with Li Zhen twice, but each time we left in despair. Is there any good way?"
Aliguo's expression was solemn, Li Zhen was like a hedgehog, and it was difficult to take action.
Ma Hui said calmly: "You two, maybe you are missing one piece of news."
"Oh, what's the news?" Aliguo asked.
Aliguo looked down on Ma Hui very much, but had to win over Ma Hui. After all, he was also a person seeking profits in China. Ma Hui said lightly: "I got a message. It is said that fishermen saw three ships sinking at sea.
In the sea, I guess it belongs to both of you. I wonder if you know about this?"
"ah!"
A Liguo and Aitang exclaimed in surprise when they learned about it.
Both of them were shocked. They knew about the ships. They were the two who asked the two ships to escort the merchant ships to transport opium. The information provided by Ma Hui was undoubtedly consistent and confirmed that the three ships had never returned to Shanghai.
things.
Aliguo was in a depressed mood and asked, "Your Majesty Ma Hui, what's going on?"
Ma Hui said: "I don't know the specifics. I only know that pirates destroyed three of your ships."
"Impossible, absolutely impossible." Aitang retorted loudly: "Our ships are equipped with the most powerful artillery today, plus the soldiers on the ships are all elite, and there are invincible battleships. Just a wave of pirates,
It is impossible to defeat the navy."
Ma Hui said: "That's the truth. You can't help but believe it."
Aliguo and Aitang were immediately discouraged as if a ball had been popped.
In the study, it was depressingly quiet.
After a long time, Aliguo asked: "Ma Hui, what can you do to deal with Li Zhen?"
Ma Hui shrugged and said: "Dealing with Li Zhen has always been a matter between the two of you, and I have never been involved. If you two have any ideas, you can go ahead and do it. I will not interfere or participate. I'm here to see you two.
, I’m just informing you two about matters at sea.”
After finishing speaking, Ma Hui stood up to say goodbye and left.
Aitang and Aliguo looked at each other with bitter smiles.
They want to start a war, but they can't decide.
Given the current situation, France and Britain are not ready yet and it is impossible to send troops for the time being.
All the two could do was fight in small ways, and they could only rely on the reputation of Britain and France to intimidate Li Zhen. It happened that Li Zhen could not control it, so the two of them could not gain benefits. Aliguo sat down, thought carefully for a while, and said
: "Old friend, we have always stood in front of the stage and jumped up and down, but we were suppressed by Li Zhen. I think we have to change our strategy."
"Oh, old friend, what can you do?"
Aitang's eyes lit up, looking forward to Ali Guo's plan.
Russell's legs were injured by Li Zhen and Zhou Xiuying, and he is still recovering from his injuries. The two sides have formed a deadly feud. If Li Zhen is not dealt with, Russell will come back sooner or later to start a fight. Aitang also wants to deal with Li Zhen.
Change the current situation.
Aliguo said: "It will be effective if we retreat behind the scenes and use Qing officials to deal with Li Zhen."
Aitang frowned and said, "An official of the Qing Dynasty?"
Ali Guodao: "Yes, they are from the Qing Dynasty. Yang Fang has a close relationship with us, but he also has contact with Xu Naizhao, the governor of Jiangsu. Li Zhen killed Yang Fang, and he could use Yang Fang's affairs to get Xu Naizhao to take action. Xu Naizhao was the governor of Jiangsu and had jurisdiction over
Li Zhen, as long as Xu Naizhao removes Li Zhen's military power and has no strength, it will be easy for us to deal with Li Zhen."
Aitang said: "You're right, that's the truth."
The two discussed carefully in the room and quickly finalized a strategy to deal with Li Zhen.
…
British rental, elegant bungalow.
This place is obviously Gulina's residence.
In the simple and elegant bedroom, two fire pits emitted waves of heat, dispelling the coldness in the room. Gulina was wearing a tulle and lazily leaning on the bed. A maid stood next to her and whispered
It was a long phone call. After listening to it, Gu Lina’s misty eyes shone brightly.
What the maid said was about Li Zhen's annihilation of Yang Fang.
Ever since Li Zhen bought four artillery pieces, Gu Lina had been paying attention to Li Zhen's movements. Li Zhen returned to Shanghai safely, which meant that the opium escorted by Ali Guo and Aitang had been destroyed. Gu Lina did not expect Li Zhen to be so fast.
Another move was made, and Yang Fang was actually destroyed. Such a method even amazed Gu Lina.
Gu Lina thought of Li Zhen, and a vague desire arose in her heart.
As the saying goes, thirty is like a wolf and forty is like a tiger. Gu Lina is already twenty-nine years old, and she has been widowed without a man to accompany her. The appearance of Li Zhen made Gu Lina's dead heart begin to rekindle.
Gu Lina rolled her eyes and ordered: "Go and invite General Li to come to the banquet tonight."
The maid got the news and immediately went to inform Li Zhen.
