Betty gritted her teeth and looked at the translator: "That Pier Gang is so crazy. Isn't there any law that can punish them?"
The translator passed on the words of Li Shangen and Leader Yang: "Ordinary people don't dare to mess with them at all. They are outnumbered and can fight."
"I just want to know how to make these people who deserve to go to hell pay the price!" Betty said.
"Go to the Yamen and report to the official!" the translator said flatteringly: "It may be useless for ordinary people to report to the official, but if it's you, Miss Betty, it might actually be useful."
Betty rolled her eyes, and then said decisively: "We are going to report to the officials now. Even if we cannot punish them, we must make them restrain themselves!"
Ding Zheng blinked.
It was completely unexpected that things would develop to this point.
Originally, Ding Zheng just wanted to be miserable.
It can encourage these foreign girls to come to the theater more and help promote it.
We even try to get these people to come over every day and develop a relationship with it.
In this way, the dock gang should be more stable during this period.
You can continue to make money by singing.
But Miss Betty, who is full of a sense of justice, actually wants to seek justice for an orangutan reporter like her!
In this era, I am afraid that only foreigners can have such an idea.
And more importantly.
You might actually gain something from this!
The Qing Dynasty was implementing the Westernization Movement.
Given the current level of emphasis the Qing Dynasty attaches to foreigners.
Once a case involves foreigners, even if it is just a trivial matter, the yamen will not dare to look down upon it.
…
A group of people walked out of the troupe and went straight to the Yamen.
The road attracted a large number of people watching the excitement.
Foshan Yamen is located in the relatively prosperous central area. It is small and slightly shabby.
The two stone lions at the door are very clean, and it seems that they have been cleaned frequently.
The people watching the excitement stopped at the door.
Only Betty and others, Li Shangen who was holding Ding Zheng, and Leader Yang walked up.
The officer at the door was startled when he saw that there were several foreigners among the visitors, and immediately went to report them.
After a while, Ding Zheng, Li Shangen, Betty and others were welcomed into the Yamen.
Beyond the cramped courtyard, further forward is the court hall.
There is a somewhat shabby plaque hanging on the roof, with the four characters "The mirror hangs high" written on it.
Ding Zheng couldn't help but be startled when he saw the familiar figure sitting at the head of the Yamen.
Then his eyes lit up and his face was filled with uncontrollable ecstasy.
Isn't this the same admiral who appeared in the movie?
Another surprise!
In the movie, the admiral is extremely afraid of foreigners and fawns over them to the extreme.
The completion is like a foreigner's licking of a dog.
He helped foreigners deal with Huang Feihong several times, looking like a traitor.
Moreover, the duty of this admiral is to establish good relations with foreigners and promote the Westernization Movement.
With this person, it will undoubtedly be easier for foreigners to apply for official positions!
"Misses, do you need my help?" Although the admiral was confused as to what these foreigners were doing here.
But he still spoke proficient English with a smile on his face.
Betty let out a long sigh of relief. It felt great to be able to communicate without the help of an interpreter.
"Hello, distinguished officials of the Qing Dynasty, my name is Betty Baker. I come from San Francisco, USA. My father is the medical scientist Les Baker, my teacher is the zoologist Professor Paul, and I am a very good friend of Bruce, the general stationed in the capital."
Betty said, "Today I went to the dock in Foshan to watch your opera, but I encountered obstruction and intimidation from local evil forces, so I came here to seek help."
After hearing Betty's words, the Admiral's heart skipped a beat.
This background is not small!
The other foreign girls who can stay with Betty must have extraordinary status.
cannot be underestimated
The admiral has decided to serve the foreigners in front of him well, and maybe he can get to know some rich and powerful Americans through this.
Ding Zheng's eyes lit up.
The surprises come one after another.
Betty's identity will undoubtedly make this matter go more smoothly, and the rewards may be greater!
"Miss Betty, please give me more details," the admiral said immediately.
"Ha!" Betty snorted coldly, "We were invited to go to the theater, and we saw an evil force called the Pier Gang collecting protection fees. They didn't give us any money to watch the theater, and they bullied the weak. The people inside even wanted to attack us.
!”
The Admiral suddenly became nervous: "They didn't hurt you, did they?"
"That's not true, but I'm still very angry, and my friend's pet was also injured by them."
Betty paused, glanced at the admiral, lowered her voice a bit, and continued: "On the way here, many people said that the Pier Gang has something to do with the Yamen, and that's why they are so unscrupulous. I wonder if this is true?"
Betty continued.
"It's a joke. These unscrupulous people are talking nonsense. Miss Betty, please don't believe it. How could I be related to a group of gangsters?" The Admiral looked angry.
In my heart, I was even more angry at Mr. Wang from the previous Yamen.
He even brought the dirty laundry of colluding with gangs onto his head.
And the dock gang.
He clearly remembered that he had just warned the gang leader the day before yesterday that he must not provoke foreigners.
But today, foreigners came to report to the official.
It was obvious that he didn’t take his words seriously!
Betty naturally saw the change in the admiral's expression, and couldn't help but feel proud.
Since arriving in the Qing Dynasty, they have enjoyed the treatment of superiors no matter where they are.
She had expected the other party's current reaction of being so serious about it.
So Betty immediately struck while the iron was hot: "Can you please deal with these criminals as soon as possible? So as not to threaten the safety of the people and our foreign friends."
After finishing speaking, she added leisurely: "I even suspect that the many precious jewelry we lost a few days ago were also made by these criminals."
