Lei Hu didn't go anywhere in the morning, only waiting to rush to the Admiral's Yamen in the afternoon. No matter what the current Lingnan Admiral Nalan Yuanshu thought, there was no need to worry about safety in broad daylight.
Unexpectedly, news suddenly came from the Tiandihui that the White Lotus Sect was preparing to attack the church where the medical conference was held, and his face suddenly became very ugly.
It’s really crazy. The White Lotus Sect is so wanton and reckless. Are they really not worried about triggering the overwhelming anger of foreigners?
You know, most of the British troops and strength stationed in the Far East are placed along the Lingnan coast. Once the British take advantage of the situation and send troops, do they want to repeat the tragedy of the Opium War again?
In Lei Hu's mind, his evaluation of the current Lingnan Admiral Nalan Yuanshu suddenly dropped several notches.
He didn't believe that the White Lotus Sect was so noisy that Nalan Yuanshu would not be clear about it. Ignoring it would be indulgence. This is the rhythm of big trouble.
"Send thirty brothers over to watch. Once the White Lotus believers attack the church where the medical conference is held, I will beat them severely and show no mercy!"
He summoned his confidant and gave him these instructions, then straightened up his appearance, checked the time and rushed directly to the Lingnan Admiral's Yamen.
He really wanted to meet with Admiral Nalan Yuanshu to see what this guy was thinking.
The immigration matter that was previously discussed with the Heaven and Earth Society seems to have to fall on the White Lotus Sect. Given the recent arrogance of the White Lotus Sect, it is really difficult to understand the idea without severely engaging in it.
…
The Lingnan Admiral's Yamen was shrouded in a solemn atmosphere, with a hint of a military atmosphere.
"Sir, Thunder Tiger is already here!"
Lingnan Admiral Nalan Yuanshu raised his head, pointed to the martial arts training ground in the backyard, and said slowly: "Take him to the martial arts training ground in the back!"
As he said this, he put down the documents in his hands, and the expression on his face suddenly changed. He stretched out his hand to signal the maidservant to help him take off his official robe, put on a smart outfit and walked toward the backyard.
Hehe, what are you trying to do, to show off your power?
Lei Hu followed the admiral's personal guards around the front office and came to the backyard where he saw dozens of sandbags hanging empty, taking up almost half of the space in the backyard.
There are all kinds of weapons on the surrounding weapon racks, as well as stone locks and other arms-strengthening tools. You can tell at a glance that this is a place for martial arts training.
He sneered in his heart, Nalan Yuanshu invited him here, maybe he wanted to test his own skills?
"Lei Hu, a core executive of Chancheng Zhongyi Hall, has traveled to Annan and the coastal areas of Guangdong and Guangxi in the past year, and has had frequent contact with Tiandi Hui and other parties. I don't know why?"
Suddenly, a deep and majestic voice broke the silence of the backyard martial arts training ground.
The visitor obviously didn't have a good impression of Lei Hu, or maybe he wanted to suppress Lei Hu's arrogance, so he revealed Lei Hu's old background in his mouth, which was full of malice.
"Sir Admiral!"
Lei Hu turned around. Although he had known for a long time that Lingnan Admiral looked like the star of later generations, 'True Bullet', he still couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat when he came into close contact. He bowed his hands without changing his expression, and asked an unexpected question: "What do you think I am thinking, sir?"
"
"Colluding with the rebellious party is treason!"
Nalan Yuanshu walked slowly and put a big hat on Lei Hu's head.
If it were an ordinary wealthy person, I am afraid that he could not help but change his face in shock at this moment, and for a moment he lost his ability and thought about how to escape safely from the admiral's Yamen.
Lei Hu has no such worries. Not to mention his strong confidence in his own strength, he has already made arrangements before coming. Once a signal is sent, the entire Huacheng will be in chaos.
During this trip to the Flower City, he brought with him two hundred elite militiamen. With the cooperation of the Tiandihui and other gangs, half of the Flower City could be overturned in an instant. Nalan Yuanshu could not bear the consequences.
Compared with the White Lotus Sect, Tiandihui and other gangs who have only taken advantage of the situation in the past six months and have emerged from the dark, they are the real local snakes in Huacheng. Their energy is so extraordinary that even the governor's office of Guangdong and Guangxi has to be afraid of it.
If you have confidence in your heart, you will naturally not lose ground just because the other party slaps a big hat on you.
"My lord, you are joking. Lei also has an official status. He thinks that what he does is worthy of the imperial court and the governor's office of Guangdong and Guangxi!"
Lei Hu smiled calmly and said neither humble nor overbearing.
"Hey, that's nice to say!"
Nalan Yuanshu did not expect Lei Hu to be so thick-skinned. He couldn't help showing a sneer and said disdainfully: "Whether it is the Black Flag Army or the Tiandihui gang members, none of them are obedient and loyal ministers. This is Lei Hu's."
Tiger, do you have anything to say back?"
"Why are you so aggressive, sir?"
Lei Hu smiled leisurely and said: "According to my habit, when looking at a person or group, I not only look at their words, but also what they do!"
Speaking of this, he smiled calmly and said: "The Black Flag Army is not favored by the court, but the Chancheng militia formed by retired officers of the Black Flag Army is the backbone of maintaining local order and tranquility in Chancheng!"
"As for the Tiandihui and other gang members, what I discussed with them was the matter of immigrating to Nanyang, and nothing else. Isn't this a good thing for the government?"
"What good thing?"
Nalan Yuanshu raised his sword eyebrows and said coldly: "Immigrating to Southeast Asia sounds nice, but isn't this tantamount to treason?"
Of course, although the words were harsh, he did not turn his back directly. Obviously, what he was thinking in his heart was not consistent with what he said!
"Tsk, tsk, you don't need to use a big hat to suppress people!"
Lei Hu chuckled lightly and said solemnly: "The current situation is difficult, Lingnan is a land with a small population, and the people's lives are difficult. If you don't want to find another way out, then there is really only one way...hehe!"
The words were vague, but the meaning was not vague at all. Nalan Yuanshu's calm expression finally became rippled, veins popped up on his forehead, he was gritting his teeth and his face was ashen, but he did not act rashly.
"Your Excellency must have heard about the Jinshan Mountain incident in the United States. It is a complete scam. Jinshan Mountain is indeed real, but the Chinese workers who were sent to the United States lived extremely miserable lives. They helped the United States build the railway in vain, but they themselves failed to recover.
Well done!"
Lei Hu didn't take it seriously and continued to speak in an indifferent tone: "Because I personally intervened in this matter, it is estimated that it will be very difficult for Americans to recruit people in Guangdong and Guangxi. However, the lives of so many people who cannot eat have not changed, so it is better to leave it alone.
The Tiandihui and other gang leaders will go to Nanyang to fight for a bite of food!"
"That's nice to say!"
Nalan Yuanshu sneered and said: "Americans are not good things. Are the gang leaders like Tiandihui and others just good things?"
The incident of people selling piglets in the United States was a big deal more than a year ago. He had heard about it, but he didn't expect that the culprit was the young man in front of him.
"I don't need you to worry about this!"
Lei Hu's face turned cold and he said disdainfully: "Your Excellency, you should take care of yourself first. If the White Lotus Sect continues to cause trouble, it might trigger an Opium War. I'm afraid that you will become a scapegoat pushed out by the imperial court..."
