Chapter 29 An accident in Guangzhou, a good show begins
"Okay, okay." The Manchu admiral gave him a cold look, his eyes cold.
"Since Chairman Jiang has said so, I will naturally enforce the law impartially. Come here, take away all the people from these vigilante groups and the Shahe Gang, and lead me to find out the facts and then discuss it." The Manchu admiral said to him.
The officers and soldiers behind them waved their hands, waved their robes, turned and left.
"Admiral, I have heard that there are ten major tortures in government offices, which are specially designed to deal with those who speak harshly. Before the matter comes to light, I think that no one wants to see this kind of thing. Admiral, please take care of yourself." Jiang Li looked at the back of the Manchu admiral.
, said loudly.
"Humph." The Manchu admiral paused, snorted coldly, looked ugly, and walked away menacingly.
"Let's go." More than a dozen officers and soldiers escorted everyone from the Shahe Gang and the militia and Lin Shirong followed behind.
"Hey, Liang Kuan is nowhere to be seen, what should we do?" Huang Feihong lowered his head and sighed, his face looking very ugly.
"It doesn't matter Liang Kuan, as long as he is still in Foshan, he can't escape. After all, the government is still too afraid of the militia. After all, there are thousands of people, all of them are elite soldiers. Even the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi dare not
If you are careless, if something happens, it will involve a lot of people." Jiang Li said.
"In today's world, there are so many livelihoods for them to eat. Mr. Liu entrusted them to me, so I can't abandon them." Huang Feihong smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Thousands of militia groups are not a small number. With Bao Zhilin's family background, they won't last long." Jiang Li shook his head. Thousands of people need dozens of taels of silver just to eat every day. Huang Feihong only relies on treating people. Sooner or later, his family's wealth will be destroyed.
Consumed.
Jiang Li followed Huang Feihong with his hands behind his back, pondered a little, and said,
"My Jiang family's Sihai Chamber of Commerce travels all over the world. Nowadays, the world is not prosperous and ruthless bandits are everywhere along the way. It does need some guards. If they don't mind, you can come over and give it a try."
"In addition, docks and workshops can also provide some places to make money. In this way, at least one or two thousand people can find work."
"One or two thousand? That's too much, Ali. I know you want to help me, but where do you need so many workers at the dock? When Uncle Shi was here before, I also approached him. This won't work.
, We can’t let you pay for it for the sake of the militia, otherwise it will be more than worth the loss." Huang Feihong refused.
Jiang Li chuckled, "Maybe it wasn't possible before, but it may not be impossible now. I have asked Uncle Lin to negotiate with those foreigners, and I am planning to vigorously acquire docks and expand the chamber of commerce market in Guangdong, Fujian and other coastal areas. In this way, it will
Having many more workstations means making money, but who can make money?"
"In this case, it couldn't be better." Huang Feihong was relieved and said with a smile.
"The top priority now is to find Liang Kuan first. Let's divide our troops into two groups so that we have a better chance. We can go to Awen's house together in the evening," Jiang Li said.
"That's fine." Huang Feihong nodded in agreement.
The two separated, Huang Feihong contacted Bao Zhilin to organize manpower, and Jiang Li went all the way to the headquarters of the Sihai Chamber of Commerce and found the old butler Gu Lin.
"Uncle Lin, mobilize your men and search all the theaters in Foshan for a man named Liang Kuan. If you find him, tell him that Huang Feihong has been wronged by the government because of his affairs, and he needs to come forward to testify."
In the hall, Jiang Li sat at the head of the table and ordered Gu Lin.
"Yes." Gu Lin bowed in response, walked out of the hall, called someone, whispered a few instructions in his ear, and then came back.
"Master, okay, there are only a few theaters in Foshan. It's very easy to find someone. Master, just wait here for a while." Gu Lin said.
"Yes." Jiang Li nodded. He was not worried about whether he could find Liang Kuan, nor was he worried about whether the other party would come out to testify.
After all, Liang Kuan will also be Huang Feihong's apprentice in the future. His character may have some minor flaws, but he can still distinguish between right and wrong.
What he was thinking was how to take advantage of this opportunity to send everyone from the Shahe Gang to prison.
Just like Huang Feihong said, now that the country is in crisis and the whole country is in turmoil, there are still people like this who take advantage of the country's difficulties to make money, oppress the people, and do all kinds of evil. Now that they have encountered it, they cannot ignore it.
"Master." At this time, Gu Lin, who was standing aside, spoke up.
"Is there anything else?" Jiang Li asked doubtfully.
"Not bad." After hesitating, Gu Lin nodded.
"Master, a month ago, our Chamber of Commerce in Guangzhou was attacked by the White Lotus Cult. All the foreign things we bought from foreigners were smashed by them, resulting in a direct loss of thousands of taels of silver. I have people sue the government.
, a month later, there is no news at all.”
"White Lotus Sect?" Jiang Li sneered, stood up with a cry, and realized in his heart that these White Lotus Sect should be the cult in Huang Feihong Part 2, that is, a group of lunatics, under the name of saving the country and the people, accepting
Protection fees, burning foreign vessels, it’s just a cult from the inside out.
The White Lotus Sect was originally a pawn cultivated by Nalan Yuanshu, the Admiral of Guangdong, to deal with the Revolutionary Party. If the White Lotus Sect was confessed to the government, it would be strange to hear from the other party.
"I understand, this matter is not simple. Please tell the person in charge in Guangzhou not to act rashly. All foreign goods in the Chamber of Commerce will be sealed up first. I will go to Guangzhou in person in a few days." Jiang Li said.
Nalan Yuanshu was an extremely powerful man with feudal ideas. More importantly, the other party was a staunch protector of the country and was die-hardly loyal to the Qing court. What he hated most were foreigners and businessmen who colluded with foreigners. If the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce
The person in charge kept going to the government, which made him angry and his life was in danger.
"Yes, young master." Gu Lin bowed and said.
"Oh, White Lotus Sect, Nalan Yuanshu." Jiang Li walked to the door of the hall with his hands behind his back, looked up at the flowing clouds in the sky, and sneered slightly.
Half an hour later, the middle-aged man who had just been ordered out by Gu Lin walked in with a young man wearing rags and a tough face.
"President, he is Liang Kuan." The middle-aged man bowed his hands to Jiang Li and said respectfully.
"Well, you have worked hard, go and get the reward, one tael of silver per person." Jiang Li waved his hand to him.
"Thank you, President." Excitement flashed across the middle-aged man's face, he glanced at Jiang Li gratefully, and quickly turned around and left.
"Are you Liang Kuan?" Jiang Li asked, looking at the curious young man in front of him.
"Yes, I am Liang Kuan from Meixian County." Liang Kuan puffed up his chest and said loudly.
"Well, today you had a fight with the Shahe Gang and got involved in the militia. The government has been wary of the militia and Feihong for a long time, so they wanted to take this opportunity to break up the militia. But with me here, they don't dare to do too much.
That's too much, now I need you to go and testify and let the government release the militia and Shirong." Jiang Li nodded and said to him.
"No problem, this happened because of me, I won't sit back and ignore it." Liang Kuan suddenly nodded and said.
"Yes." Jiang Li nodded, a strange look flashed in his eyes, "However, just doing this would be too cheap for the Shahe Gang. When the time comes, I hope you will change it and put all the responsibility on the Shahe Gang.
Just nail them there."
"This..." Liang Kuan looked at Jiang Li in surprise, surprised by his ruthlessness.
"I can say it, but I'm afraid the officials won't listen." Liang Kuan said with a frown.
"You don't have to worry about this. Public opinion counts for money, and the government has to agree even if it doesn't agree." Jiang Li sneered slightly and said in a deep voice.
His handling of the Shahe Gang was also a disguised warning to the Foshan government. They wanted to use the Shahe Gang to frame Huang Feihong, which was a beautiful idea.
If the government comes to play dirty tricks, Jiang Li may still find it troublesome, but at his level, who dares to play dirty tricks? If Jiang Li comes to Ming Dynasty, he can kill them.
"What do you think?" Liang Kuan's expression paused as he thought of a possibility.
"As long as you know, just wait here for a while. I'll ask Feihong to inform Feihong and we'll go to the government together." Jiang Li patted his shoulder, smiled slightly, turned around and came to Gu Lin's side, and whispered a few words.
"Yes, Master." Gu Lin said respectfully to Jiang Li and walked out.
"Let's go and watch a good show." Jiang Li walked past Liang Kuan and walked out.
"Wait for me." Liang Kuan shouted and quickly followed.
