This group of foreigners came with great momentum. When they saw that their companions were beaten miserably, they became furious and without hesitation, they drew out the pistols they were carrying and started to fire.
It's just that they are fast, and Leihu reacts faster than them.
Where are people?
A group of foreigners suddenly appeared and were about to give Lei Hu a few good shots, but when they looked up, they saw that Lei Hu was gone.
Immediately afterwards, several people standing near the front suddenly let out several shrill screams and fell over in the muddy water, startling the surrounding companions and hurriedly dispersed.
Only then did they realize that Lei Hu had not disappeared, but had slipped from the muddy ground and swept the previous unlucky ones to the ground with his sweeping legs.
"asshole……"
This group of foreigners almost burst their lungs with anger. All of a sudden, their eyes were bloodshot and they turned their guns to fire, but their actions stopped at the next moment.
It wasn't that this group of foreigners suddenly changed their minds, but that Lei Hu grabbed the pistol of his fallen companion, and at this time, the muzzle of the gun was pressed against the head of the leader, Mr. Sassoon.
"Tell them to put down their pistols, or I will shoot!"
Regardless of being covered in mud and water, Lei Hu looked directly at the controlled foreign leader with cold eyes, and sneered: "I know you understand Chinese, don't play any tricks, or you will be responsible for the consequences!"
"No, you can't do this!"
The foreign leader with a gun to his head could indeed speak fluent Chinese and shouted, "If you do this, it will cause diplomatic disputes, and you won't be able to live with it!"
"Hey, what nonsense are you talking about!"
Lei Hu put his other hand on the guy's shoulder and gave a strong push with his palm. The tall and strong foreign leader fell to his knees and splashed muddy water. Lei Hu's cold voice came from his ears: "You
They all want my life, but I’m not allowed to fight back, what’s the point?”
As soon as he finished speaking, he continued to exert force with his hands, but he couldn't bear it at all. It was like a huge mountain was pressing on his shoulders. His straight waist was bent under the pressure, and his head was about to fall into the muddy ground.
"Oh no, don't do this, let's talk carefully if we have something to say!"
His nose clearly smelled the earthy smell of muddy water, as well as the strange smell mixed with other things. They all rushed over. The foreign leader could not move and could only shout: "I surrender, I surrender..."
"Hehe, is this right?"
Lei Hu sneered, flipped the palm that was pressing on the foreign leader's shoulder, stuck it on his neck and lifted him up easily, and said coldly, "Tell your men to put down all their guns and throw them over the eaves, do you hear me?"
"
"Did you hear that? Hurry up and throw all your pistols under the eaves over there. Stop talking about it. My life is still in the hands of this Qing man!"
The foreign leader turned his head with difficulty and shouted at his bewildered men, speaking naturally in the language of birds.
An undetectable chuckle appeared on Lei Hu's face. Fortunately, the foreign leader did not play any tricks. It was obvious that this guy was very concerned about his family's life. He definitely didn't expect Lei Hu to understand what he said.
Isn't it just American English? Lei Hu worked hard when he was in school in his previous life. Reading, writing, and listening are not a problem, but his level is generally enough to cope with daily communication, but it is enough for now.
The foreigners were obedient. Under Lei Hu's piercing eyes, they threw all their pistols under the eaves. Then he turned around and shouted to Aunt Thirteen who was peeping at the entrance of the theater: "Aunt Thirteen, come out quickly.
Put these pistols away and keep them!"
"Ahu, are you okay?"
Apparently Thirteenth Aunt was frightened by the dangerous scene outside. She didn't dare to come out for a while. She was hesitant and very uneasy. It wasn't until Lei Hu urged and reassured her again and again that she cautiously walked out under the protection of Liang Kuan.
Things became simple after that. Aunt Thirteen and Liang Kuan took away all the pistols, and then Lei Hu pulled the foreign leader under the eaves and asked him directly about his origins and purpose.
I don’t know if he was frightened, but this guy was very cheerful. He answered all the questions asked by Lei Hu and even talked a lot more.
This guy is none other than the American Sassoon, the biggest villain in the first Once Upon a Time movie.
According to the plot of the movie, this guy is a complete conspirator and villain, and he almost killed Huang Feihong in the plot of the movie several times.
This time he sailed to Chancheng with the same purpose as in the movie plot: he wanted to trick the people of Chancheng into going to Jinshan in the United States to make a fortune.
But when he arrived at the pier, he was a little dumbfounded. It was so prosperous here, how could it look like it was even half poor and backward?
Although some dock workers are shabby and poorly dressed, which country does not have poor people?
After all, these people look like dock workers at the bottom of society, and they can earn money to support their families by doing hard work. This makes it difficult for him to deceive the poor people here.
As long as there is food to eat, no one is willing to cross the ocean and go to a foreign country thousands of miles away to beg for food. This is not only true for the Qing people, but also for the poor people in Europe.
With a lucky mentality, I went to Chancheng City and took a few glances, and my heart suddenly dropped.
Although the urban area is not as prosperous as the dock, it is still a rare lively place with prosperous commerce and an upbeat atmosphere. If a place like this wants to recruit people to work in the United States thousands of miles away, there is no need to hope.
Maybe we could recruit a dozen, twenty or even hundreds of people, but such an idea of manpower would be useless. At least we would have to recruit thousands of people at once to make it work.
The guys who fell ill and were abandoned at sea must account for at least 30% of the recruits. If the total number of recruits is not enough, even if they can earn back from these employees in the future, it will take too long. For Sassoon,
Villains who rely on employees' hard-earned money are not worth their salt.
But after a trip, it was really not worthwhile to return empty-handed. The cost of shipping from the United States to the Qing Dynasty, which was thousands of miles away, was not a small sum. Naturally, he wanted to make money back from the defrauded workers, and also make a lot of money.
Just done.
So, he began to investigate local snakes in Chancheng to see if there was any possibility of cooperation.
As a result, Zhongyi Tang and Lei Hu came into the eyes of the American man. Especially when he knew that the reason why the dock and Chancheng City were so prosperous was due to the ability of Zhongyi Tang and Lei Hu, he began to think of killing people to disrupt the situation.
He could see that with what Zhongyitang and Leihu had done, they would never cooperate with him to trick local people into mining in the United States.
Those ignorant people may be deceived. With the strength of Zhongyi Tang, they can easily find out the real situation from other cooperating foreign merchants. Once Zhongyi Tang becomes disgusted and vigilant, Sassoon and his men will have to leave here.
, it was too troublesome to find other ports in the Qing Dynasty to settle in.
Therefore, he began to think of completely destroying the situation in Chancheng. Lei Hu was also the core figure of Zhongyi Hall and the dock officials, so he naturally became their first target...
