Betty is a smart person. She did not criticize Ding Zheng from the beginning, but directly threw dirty water on him.
Do people who wrongfully accuse gangsters need a reason?
Even if they didn't take their own things, they certainly took other people's things.
There is no need to use fair and aboveboard means to deal with bad guys.
Ding Zheng, who had always been pretending to be pitiful, couldn't help but admire Miss Betty more and more.
have a future!
The Admiral couldn't help but frowned when he heard this.
Although the Westernization Movement was important, he couldn't really help the docks just based on the other party's words.
The admiral was a little embarrassed: "Miss Betty, I really want to help you, but you have to provide evidence!"
"How come there is no evidence?" Betty said, then stepped aside and released Ding Zheng. "This is my friend's pet. Can it show how cruel the dock gang is?"
"Besides, everyone who followed me is a witness!" Betty looked at Li Shangen, Leader Yang and others.
The translator briefly recounted the conversation between the admiral and Betty to Li Shangen and others.
During this period of time, Li Shangen followed Ding Zheng and saw more troubles. He finally plucked up the courage and stood up and said: "This is my monkey, I am a witness. The dock gang collects multiple protection fees. If we don't pay, we will
They poisoned me and my pet, and my pet suffered such injuries in order to protect me!"
"It's just a beast. I'm afraid it won't be used as evidence. We in the Qing Dynasty don't have any laws specially set for beasts!" said the admiral.
"And me!" Leader Yang also gritted his teeth and stood up. He knew that he had offended the Pier Gang and there was no point in hiding.
"Previously, the Pier gang leader Liu Hu came to our theater to cause trouble. Everyone in our theater can testify!"
The admiral then nodded: "Since Miss Betty has a witness, I will arrest the leader of the Pier Gang for questioning!"
The master next to him was sweating profusely and wanted to grab Chen Li and beat him up.
"Sir, I'm going to capture this Pier Gang leader!" He asked automatically.
You can’t do it without asking.
If he goes first, there may be room for maneuver to reduce losses.
When the admiral personally leads a team to arrest people, it will really be all over!
Although Chen Li is the leader of the Wharf Gang, the master has also made a lot of money from the Wharf Gang in recent years.
When it comes to wiping out the Pier Gang, he is no less worried than Chen Li!
Chen Li was his brother who married his wife. All the money he paid for going to Beijing to take the exam was given by Chen Li!
Moreover, he, a Han master with no background, was able to be so stable in the Foshan Yamen.
I don’t know how much help the terminal helped.
Once you taste the benefits that power brings, it’s really hard to give up.
However, although the situation is urgent now, Master is not too panicked.
He knew very well that these foreign ladies had no time or interest to stare at a criminal all day long.
As long as he can help the Pier Gang escape this hurdle and minimize losses, there is still a chance of turning around.
The admiral understood what the master was thinking. He knew the relationship between the master and the dock gang, and he was willing to give the other party this face. He nodded and agreed: "Then go back quickly. Today, I must investigate the matter thoroughly and give it to Miss Betty."
An explanation!"
This master was very much in line with the admiral's wishes. After he came to Foshan, he helped a lot with making plans.
"Sir, you are indeed wise!" After hearing the translation, Betty gave the admiral a hat in a gentle manner.
The Admiral immediately nodded with a smile and said: "Miss Betty is responsible for justice. To be honest, I have only arrived in Foshan recently. I am not familiar with everything here. I don't even know that there is such an arrogant gang force. Fortunately, Betty
Miss, thank you for reminding me."
As he spoke, he changed the topic: "I hope that I will have the opportunity to meet Miss Betty's father or master in person in the future. I highly respect and appreciate Western medicine. We are also vigorously studying advanced knowledge of Western medicine and other science and technology."
Betty smiled and spoke perfunctorily.
The yamen suddenly became peaceful.
At this time, the people outside were also talking about it.
"Is what this gentleman said true or false?"
"This gentleman seems to have just arrived in Foshan in the past few days. Maybe he really has nothing to do with the Pier Gang?"
The crowd was quiet for a moment.
Suddenly, a shout rang out!
"Sir, I also want to report to the official!"
"I also want!"
With the second shout, the people outside the government office were immediately set on fire.
…
"Sir, I am unjustly accused!" Chen Li shouted in a tearful tone, "I didn't even attack that monkey, sir!"
"We did go to the theater that day, but we didn't cause any trouble at all. We didn't even watch the show, and we never provoked these foreigners, sir!" Chen Li cried hoarsely.
Liu Hu, who was kneeling next to him, also had a look of horror on his face: "Yes, sir, I didn't do anything to that monkey before. Instead, someone injured me and my brothers in order to protect the monkey!"
Both of them looked at Li Shangen and the others with deep-seated hatred on their faces.
They have never seen such an honest and false accusation.
However, no matter how much Liu Hu and Chen Li shouted or cried, it was useless.
Now it's not just Ding Zheng, Li Shangen and the others who want to cause trouble for them.
But a large number of Foshan people chose to add insult to injury.
And there were foreigners watching from the side.
"Master! What do you think?" The admiral said to the master next to him, who looked young and had a somewhat sinister appearance.
The master frowned for a long time, and finally sighed, lying next to the admiral's ear: "I hope you will forgive me, and I hope you can give me some face, but if you look too deeply, I will let Chen Li, the leader of the gang, take all the blame.
Come and appease the public’s anger!”
"Of course there is also the anger of several foreign ladies."
The admiral thought for a moment after hearing this, then nodded and said immediately: "Okay! Then go and make arrangements quickly. For the sake of your loyalty in front of and behind the horse, I allow you this honor."
"Thank you, sir!"
The master prostrated himself and immediately went to arrange relevant matters.
Chen Li is also a ruthless person.
After listening to Master's words, I knew there was no other way.
