Huang Feihong looked serious. When he saw the pile of foreign sailors lying on the ground with unknown injuries, he couldn't help shaking his head and sighing: "You are too impulsive!"
I was very worried. I rushed over after hearing the news. I first understood the details of the matter. Then when I saw the sailor who was 'abandoned' by the French captain, my face was ugly and my heart was blocked. I knew that this mess would definitely not be easy to deal with.
.
"Master, you can't let the foreigners bully you, so why don't you fight back?"
Lei Hu didn't take it seriously and chuckled: "Don't worry, this matter was initiated by foreigners. Let's take care of it!"
"That's right, master, we are being reasonable, are we still afraid of foreigners?"
Lin Shirong echoed, with a red face full of regret. He had left the dock temporarily because of something, but he didn't expect to miss such a lively event. He also wanted to punish the foreigners who made trouble.
"Don't be careless!"
Huang Feihong shook his head and smiled bitterly, reminding: "It involves foreigners, so it's useless even if it's reasonable!"
Although he is a gentleman, he still sees things very clearly between the government and foreigners.
Especially in the Lingnan area where foreign warships are directly threatening, not to mention the arrogance of foreigners, the incompetence of the government also makes people feel helpless.
"No, Master!"
Lin Shirong couldn't help but exclaimed and didn't believe it; "It's so obvious. It was the foreign sailors who made trouble first. We just couldn't see it and taught them a lesson. The truth is completely on our side. If the Yamen still favors the foreigners,
if……"
Having said this, the guy with a rather sinister face said with fierce eyes and gritted his teeth, "Then in this world, is there any way for us to survive?"
Hey, these times are so fucked up!
Glancing at the angry Lin Shirong, Lei Hu did not refute Huang Feihong's words, but he was confident in his heart and did not care much about beating the foreigner. Seeing Huang Feihong and Lin Shirong's dejected expressions, he hurriedly smiled and said, "Master,
There’s really no need to worry!”
As for where he got his confidence and confidence, Lei Hu decided not to say it in order to prevent his image in Huang Feihong's heart from collapsing in the future.
I have been in contact with Huang Feihong for a long time, so I can't figure out his character.
To put it bluntly, he is a serious traditional literati, a true gentleman, who has optimistic trust in the government and the court, acts in an aboveboard manner and disdains the use of despicable means.
Lei Hu was the first to say that Huang Feihong didn't know what kind of piss-poor we officials in the Qing Dynasty were.
It's just that Huang Feihong's three views are "extremely upright" in this era, and he is unwilling to cause trouble easily. He thinks of the government to provide justice as soon as something happens.
This is a matter of personal character. Lei Hu didn't say whether it was good or not, but it was obvious that he didn't really agree with Huang Feihong's behavior.
This matter seemed big, but in his opinion, it was just a trivial matter.
With the power of Zhongyi Tang and its relationship with the government, as long as the matter did not alarm the governors of Guangdong and Guangxi, they could easily suppress and resolve it.
The French captain who suddenly took action couldn't bear to make the matter bigger. Don't think that just because he was a foreigner, he could scold him. No matter how bad the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi was, he would not drop prices to the point where even ordinary foreign merchants would be afraid.
…
"Shirong, don't act nonsense!"
Huang Feihong's face darkened, and he reprimanded angrily. He was quite dissatisfied with Lin Shirong's fierce words, and was even more worried that this guy would act recklessly.
Lin Shirong was so embarrassed that he opened his mouth but said nothing, but the anger in his eyes became even stronger. If the yamen really favored foreigners, he would probably become an angry youth immediately.
"Okay, master, there's really no need to worry too much. Haven't you seen that no one from the government has shown up yet?"
Seeing that Lin Shirong's face was ugly and the atmosphere was a bit depressing, Lei Hu opened his mouth to ease the atmosphere and said with a smile: "Let's take a look at the situation first. I'm really sure to handle the trouble!"
Seeing him talking like this, even though he was confused, Huang Feihong couldn't continue to ask questions, so he had to keep his worries in his heart and think about how to save himself if he got into trouble.
"Ahu, what do you plan to do with these foreign sailors?"
Seeing about twenty foreign sailors lying on the ground, he directly changed the subject and asked, "If one of them is bad, these foreign sailors might do bad things!"
"Take it back first!"
Lei Hu smiled and said, "I still have something to ask them!"
Nima, something like this suddenly happened at the dock, and he must find out what happened.
The French captain ran away, and the twenty or so sailors left behind were a breakthrough. Regardless of whether they knew the inside story or not, they had to ask questions to feel at ease.
"Are they all French?"
Huang Feihong's face was solemn and he said solemnly: "It must be handled properly as soon as possible, otherwise accidents may occur over time!"
He guessed part of Lei Hu's thoughts. Although he felt that it was inappropriate to torture the prisoners, he couldn't say much at the time when the matter was urgent.
Besides, these sailors really went too far. Looking around, the dock was in a mess, and it was all caused by these sailors.
Hearing the painful cries of the merchants and people, I suddenly became very irritable and uncomfortable.
Soon, young men from the militia and young men from the Zhongyi Hall joined forces to restore order on the dock. Lei Hu left without leaving much time with the foreign sailors.
He didn't think that these sailors were all French. When these guys fought in groups, their combat effectiveness and teamwork skills were not like ordinary merchant sailors.
They have very obvious evil spirits. Don't think that Lei Hu can't see it. It should be because someone's life is in his hands that this situation will happen.
Although Lei Hu was very unfamiliar with the navigation of this era, he knew from the many materials and movies and TV series he had seen in his previous life that the navigation of this era was very dangerous.
Not only do they have to contend with the unpredictable weather and marine environment, but they also have to guard against attacks from the same kind.
There is no order at all in the vast sea, and no one knows what the sailors on the merchant ships are doing on the sea.
There are also many merchant ships that appear to be very honest in front of others, but once they go to sea, they immediately turn into pirates, and they should not be too smooth in their activities of killing people and looting goods.
Therefore, the sailors on sea ships in this era were not only very proficient in navigation, but also had considerable military power, at least much stronger than ordinary military officers.
Lei Hu suspected that this group of foreign sailors full of evil spirits were veterans in this field, otherwise they would not have performed so well when fighting in groups.
But when he personally presided over the interrogation, he was dumbfounded. No one in the Zhongyi Hall gang could speak the language of foreigners, and there were few talents in this field even on the dock.
