"Come here, open all the boxes in the Yuanjiang Chamber of Commerce. You dare to sell people on my dock. I'm so impatient." Jiang Li glanced at Qian Mingye who was lying on the ground in disgust, and looked at the people around him.
The helper shouted loudly.
Immediately, the people around them ran towards the only Yuanjiang Chamber of Commerce on the dock and intercepted all the boxes that were to be transported to the steamer.
When the boxes were opened and dying women were revealed, everyone on the dock was furious.
"Damn it." Even Huang Feihong couldn't help frowning, as if there was a fire burning in his chest.
"Go up here and intercept that steamboat. I want to see how big the business they do is." Jiang Li was so angry that he ordered the people from the militia to tie up all the workers of the Yuanjiang Chamber of Commerce, and then took the lead on the
That foreigner's steamboat.
"Stop, this is a steamship of the Empire on which the sun never sets. Chinese people are not allowed on board." A straight-nosed foreigner in a suit and leather shoes walked towards him and said angrily to Jiang Li.
"Get them all." Jiang Li gave him a cold look and had no time to argue with him. As soon as his voice fell, a group of workers from behind rushed up to restrain the foreigners.
"Give me control of this ship, drive all the people on it down, and then search each room one by one." Jiang Li shouted in a deep voice and said to the militiamen behind him.
At this time, he couldn't help but feel a little lucky. Fortunately, there weren't many steamboats leaving today at the dock. Otherwise, he didn't know how long it would take to find them, and there might still be casualties by then.
There was only one steamboat now, and it was easily controlled.
People from the militia group rushed in. Huang Feihong walked to Jiang Li, looking worried.
"Ali, don't we report it to the official?"
"Report, of course I have to report, but let's wait and find out everything first." Jiang Li said in a deep voice.
At this time, a neatly dressed middle-aged man ran up to Jiang Li with a sad face.
"President, I am Wu Jiang, the person in charge of this terminal." The middle-aged man walked up to Jiang Li timidly, his heart as nervous as an overturned bucket.
Human trafficking occurred at the dock he was responsible for, and it was discovered by the president of the Chamber of Commerce himself. This time, he knew that he was going to be finished.
"Pah, trash." Jiang Li slapped him on the face, his eyes cold.
"What do you do for food? Don't you check the goods coming and going from each chamber of commerce? Now that something like this has happened, the reputation of the Sihai Chamber of Commerce will be lost."
"President, it's my fault. I didn't check carefully. I am willing to bear all the responsibilities." Wu Jiang knelt down in front of Jiang Li with a plop, his face turned ashen and his head drooped.
"There's no point in admitting your mistake now." Jiang Li put his foot on him and became angry.
"I'll give you a chance. Go in person and write down the identities of those women one by one. Each family will come to complain in person and compensate for their losses. If there is one family that is missing, I am the only one asking you."
"Yes, yes, thank you, President, for your kindness. Thank you, President, for your kindness." Wu Jiang looked grateful and kowtowed to Jiang Li with a thousand thanks.
"Okay, inform me of all the terminals under the Sihai Chamber of Commerce, and thoroughly check all the goods in the past. If I find such a thing again, don't blame me for being ruthless." Jiang Li flashed a light in his eyes and said in a deep voice.
said.
"Yes, I'll go right away." Wu Jiang thanked him deeply and stepped back.
As Wujiang retreated, there was silence on the steamer side. Huang Feihong and Jiang Li were not in the mood to talk. They were both waiting for news about the militiamen entering the search.
After a while, a vigilante group suddenly ran down from above.
"Master, Mr. Jiang, we have searched everything inside. There are twenty-three boxes in total, and each box contains a woman."
"Okay, be careful, rescue the people first, and then control the owners of this steamboat." Jiang Li said.
"yes."
After getting off the steamboat, Jiang Li waved his hand to summon a militia group.
"Go back to the Sihai Chamber of Commerce, tell Lu Qinghua what happened here, and ask him to go to the Guangzhou Yamen to find Nalan Yuanshu, the Admiral of Guangzhou, and tell the whole story."
"yes."
"A Li, why don't you just go to the nearby official? Could it be that..." Huang Feihong is not a fool. Jiang Li did not look for the nearby official in charge. Instead, he went to the Guangzhou Yamen to find Nalan Yuanshu. This clearly shows that he does not trust the officers and soldiers here.
.
"On the one hand, be careful with the Wannian Ship." Jiang Li said in a deep voice.
He went directly to Nalan Yuanshu for his own reasons. He didn't know much about the officers and soldiers in Guangzhou, and he wasn't sure whether there was collusion between officials and businessmen.
But he still understood Nalan Yuanshu. He might be a strong man, but he was definitely a good official who loved the country and the people, was brave and resourceful, and you couldn't go wrong looking for him.
"Feihong, now that something like this has happened at the dock, I may not have time to help you in a while." Jiang Li said to Huang Feihong.
"It doesn't matter, my matter is just a small matter, just let a few militiamen come over to help." Huang Feihong raised his hand and said, and then looked at the women on the steamer who were helped off by the militia. The doctor was kind-hearted and said to Jiang Li,
"I'll go and treat those women first."
"Yes." Jiang Li nodded, waving his hand for people to follow Huang Feihong, and try to satisfy any needs he had.
Soon, all the women were rescued. Wearing work clothes from the dock, Huang Feihong, sweating profusely, walked among them, treating the seriously injured women.
On the other side, the workers of the Yuanjiang Chamber of Commerce and the owner of the steamboat were tied up with ropes and watched by more than a dozen militia groups.
"Bang bang bang..." Soon, there was a sound of neat running, and two teams of officers and soldiers ran all the way. The leader was a man with a majestic face and a strong build, with a brocade coat draped behind him.
"Admiral." Jiang Li stepped forward to greet him and hugged him with a fist.
Nalan Yuanshu looked at Jiang Li with cold eyes, his face was cold, Jiang Li looked at him without any sign of weakness, his eyes were bright and sharp.
After a long time, Nalan Yuanshu spoke slowly, "It turns out that Chairman Jiang is also a member of the same group. I'm disrespectful."
"Your Excellency, you are so complimentary." Jiang Li said softly with a calm face.
"President Jiang, shouldn't you give me an explanation when something like this happens on the dock of the Sihai Chamber of Commerce?" Nalan Yuanshu said in a deep voice, looking at Jiang Li closely with his eyes like arrows.
"It's natural. I've put the person in charge of this matter under control. Sir, please follow me." Jiang Li nodded, stretched out his hand to Nalan Yuanshu, made a gesture of invitation, and took the lead to move forward.
Go.
Nalan Yuanshu tossed off his official robe and followed.
When passing by those women, Nalan Yuanshu was furious, and his eyes seemed to be burning with blazing fire.
"Whose territory is this area?" He opened his eyes angrily and shouted in a deep voice to a team leader beside him.
"Master Qi, this place is under the jurisdiction of General Lei Qian." The man quickly bowed and answered.
"Lei Yixiao, okay, okay, come here, go and tie Lei Yixiao over to me." Nalan Yuanshu said angrily.
"Yes." Two officers and soldiers responded from behind, turned around and ran out.
"Admiral, they are the culprits. That steamboat belongs to this foreigner, and I have sent people to control it." Jiang Li took Nalan Yuanshu to the place where Qian Mingye and the British man were being guarded.
Said in a deep voice.
"Catch them." Nalan Yuanshu's eyes were cold and he waved his right hand. The officers and soldiers behind him immediately swarmed up and arrested the Yuanjiang Chamber of Commerce and those foreigners.
"Admiral, what happened this time at the dock of the Sihai Chamber of Commerce was due to my poor supervision. For this reason, I am willing to give each of the victims ten taels of silver as compensation." Jiang Li said to Nalan Yuan
said.
"President Jiang is a man, so I thanked those women on my behalf." Nalan Yuanshu's eyes softened a lot, and he cupped his fists at Jiang Li and said.
"It should be." Jiang Li nodded and said.
At this time, the two officers and soldiers who had just run out came back with a middle-aged man in official uniform tied in their hands and pressed him in front of Nalan Yuanshu.
"Lei Yixiao, what do you have to say?" Nalan Yuanshu said in a cold voice, looking at Lei Yixiao who was kneeling on the ground.
"Sir Admiral, this villain is really unjust. There are too many docks nearby, and the villain doesn't have many people, so it's impossible to investigate." Lei Yixiao's eyes flashed, and he immediately cried out that he was wronged.
Lei Yi smiled? Jiang Li, who was standing aside, suddenly narrowed his eyes.
