Fan Ru is really old. Not only is he old, but he doesn't have much ability in the first place. He has only relied on the financial support of his family to get into a civil service examination.
This kind of person simply doesn't understand what it means to open your eyes to see the world, and he doesn't want to understand new things. He won't investigate and study all unknown industries, but will use old experience to make guesses for the first time.
For example, when he looked at Lotte Bank, he always treated it as a Shanxi company, thinking that having two to three million in capital would be enough for fun. So Fan Ru brought two million in cash this time just to force him to buy shares.
Not only is it a share purchase, but the share cannot be reduced, so it must be 60%! Look, this is Fan Ru's wishful thinking.
"Last month Lotte Foreign Company did not do much business. Boss Niu of Sihai Trading Company redeemed a short-term loan and withdrew a total of 400,000 taels of silver coins... 540,000 taels of silver coins were used to collect foreign goods from British merchant ships... and also... Shopkeeper Wang had 100,000 taels of silver bristles and sold them to us..."
"Not only that, the Ministry of Revenue of the Kingdom of Ryukyu asked us to borrow a total of 1.8 million taels... The total redemption funds of American merchant ships were 340,000 taels... Oops, I forgot again. Mr. rented a foreign ship to travel between Tanggu and Naha. , they are both buying goods and people, and the rent has been settled. This is not more than 50,000 taels, which is enough..."
Fan Ru and Sun Sanhu were completely dumbfounded. With just a few words, they walked out with three million taels? This is not the way to deceive people!
"That's enough, it's such nonsense. According to you, a foreign company can only make five or six million in a month's worth of mercury? Can you be so rich? Are you dreaming..."
"Yes! What Mr. Fan said is true. Last month, foreign banks spent a total of more than 6.2 million taels of cash, and all of it was Mexican Eagle..." Xiao Letian drank a cup of fragrant Huadiao and squinted to enjoy it. The pleasure of torture.
"Impossible, how is this possible? Where did you get the money... and I also know my brother's family background. If your head is worth one million, you alone will have five or six million in wealth?" Fan Ru Everyone was dumbfounded.
Fan Yan sighed and said nothing and nodded towards his brother. This time Fan Ru's face turned red. It turned out that the two million in cash he brought was not enough. For more than a month, he had been He was treated like an idiot, but he didn't know anything about it.
At this time, Sun Sanhu's behavior was different from that of Fan Ru. This royal servant's eyes were filled with greed. He never expected that he had dug such a huge gold mine. If he could control it... No, no, no, I don't dare to be so bold. Such a big handicap still has to be turned over to the court.
All I need is a million taels of wealth. When I have a million taels of property, I will stop practicing this damn boy's skill. I want to marry a wife, and I want to marry a hundred wives.
"Give it to me, give it all to me..." Sun Sanhu, who was drooling, slapped the table and stood up, pointing at Xiao Letian and the others and yelling wildly.
This time, Xiao Letian and Long Ye were pure idiots. How could they drool when they heard about the money? If they saw those gold mountains and silver seas with their own eyes, wouldn't you go crazy? It is really possible that such domestic slaves, whose first goal in life is to make a fortune, have long been distorted in their thinking. They can clean up their wives and give them away just for money.
Sun Sanhu was not polite this time. He didn't care about anything. He grabbed the wine glass next to him and smashed it on the ground. As a result, the expected crisp sound did not appear at all. When he looked closely, the glass had been smashed by the dragon. I have it in the palm of my hand.
"Steward Sun, if this wine doesn't suit your appetite, why don't you get another drink? If it breaks, what are you doing?" Mr. Long's teasing made Sun Sanhu even more angry. He grabbed the wine glass in front of Fan Ru and drank it again. Damn it, but Mr. Long copied it again.
The two martial arts masters immediately started fighting in the greenhouse. The tableware on the table was flying around, and two figures were shuttled back and forth in the greenhouse, but the strange thing was that there was no sound of fighting at all.
"Mr. Zhou, Shopkeeper Fan... let's lean against the wall quickly and be careful of accidental injuries!" Xiao Letian grabbed Mr. Zhou and Fan Qian who were beside him and hid in the corner in two or three steps. He also took out the Colt pistol.
Fan Ru was even more afraid of death. The old man crawled over with his hands and feet at an incredible speed for an old man. "Protect me, let me hide for a while, my fists and feet have no eyesight..."
Xiao Letian curled his lips when he saw it, but Fan Qian still felt sorry for his brother and quickly stuffed him behind him. At this time, the greenhouse was already in chaos, and all kinds of porcelain flower pots were seen flying in the air. However, Long Ye's figure could always catch these debris at the most critical moment, and Sun Sanhu was beaten for a long time by throwing cups. Didn't smash it out.
After a full quarter of an hour, Sun Sanhu finally lost his patience. He figured out that the name of Beidi Longye was not in vain. It seemed that unless his master ancestor came forward, no one could really deal with him.
"Do it...everyone outside will do it..." Sun Sanhu shouted loudly, but at this time Long Ye's fist had already struck like lightning. Sun Sanhu didn't dare to slow down and quickly retreated, smashing the glass of the greenhouse and rushing into the courtyard. .
"I am the sword-wielding guard of the Forbidden City. I convey His Majesty's secret order to kill Xiao Letian. Everyone takes action immediately!" As he spoke, a large group of men in black suddenly poured out from the surrounding rooms. Not only that, the fireworks that had been prepared in the backyard were lit, and they were signaling to the Green Camp soldiers who were ambushing outside the city.
"Fire the arrow, let's fire the arrow immediately..." Sun Sanhu gave the command with jumping feet.
"Stand back, go into the greenhouse immediately, and guard this place..." Xiao Letian shouted in the room to Lord Long and his guards to come in and resist.
Amidst the sound of bouncing crossbows, crossbow arrows flew toward the greenhouse, and the six bald guards were as cunning as foxes and had already gotten into the house.
"Charge, everyone rush in and kill Xiao Letian..." Before he could finish his words, he heard the crackling of foreign guns in the room, and Spencer's gun finally fired. The Qing Dynasty of this era had never seen such a murderous weapon like Spencer. The gangsters who rushed at the front were immediately punched with more than ten transparent holes in their bodies, and blood arrows swished out.
"Oh my mother, what kind of foreign gun is this?" A group of people lay down and looked for cover. Even Sun Sanhu hid behind the Moon Gate.
"Xiao Letian... don't be arrogant. Your private army can't save you. Come out and I'll give you a whole corpse..."
"Fuck you! There are still whole corpses. I'm already dead. Why do I care about bullshit corpses... People outside, listen up. Sun Sanhu is falsely passing on the imperial edict. The emperor is still waiting for me to build a special zone. The court will not kill me. Well, if you follow him, you will become a scapegoat sooner or later..."
Xiao Letian underestimated the loyalty of these gangsters. They were all dead soldiers that Sun Sanhu had raised for many years, and they had already given up their lives. Upon hearing Xiao Letian's shouting, the group of people threw in a few axes without saying a word, startling Xiao Letian.
At this time, he poked Zhou Mingkui, "Mr. Zhou, why don't you shout a few words, you are an official, he has to pity your life no matter what!"
Zhou Mingkui is a civil servant after all. He is shaking like chaff now, and his upper and lower teeth are fighting desperately: "Sun... Guard Sun, I am Zhou Mingkui... Please stop first and let me go out first..."
Before he finished speaking, there was only the sound of a piece of glass shattering. Crossbow arrows and flying axes swished in. One of the sharply rotating axes went straight to Zhou Mingkui's head.
"Ah..." Zhou Mingkui screamed in fright. At this time, Xiao Letian quickly raised his foot and kicked Master Zhou to the side. The ax hit the wall with a clang.
Zhou Mingkui, who was still in shock, was completely mad. This Sun Sanhu was so ungrateful, how could he even deal with one of his own? For this kind of rubbish, anyone who gives me an official title and a wish in advance is a liar.
"Sun Sanhu! Why the hell did you kill me? Are you crazy..." Zhou Mingkui flew into a rage.
"My surname is Zhou, I have long thought that you are dishonest. You secretly took bribes from Xiao Letian and even tipped him off secretly. Do you think I don't know? I have been on guard against you for a long time..."
Zhou Mingkui's heart skipped a beat, and his eyes gradually turned cold. "Okay, okay, if that's the case, don't blame me for being ruthless... The brothers outside will obey my orders and kill these fake guards. Please do it for me..."
Zhou Mingkui is not just a mere commander. He has two hundred catchers and servants under him. They are all gathered in the government office tonight. These brothers are all fed by Xiao Letian with money. Even if they are not loyal to Zhou Mingkui, they will not be loyal to Zhou Mingkui. He will not disregard the life of Xiao Letian, a big benefactor.
Two hundred people were fighting against more than thirty people outside. Even a fool knew the outcome. But what Mr. Zhou didn't expect was that after shouting three times, there was no movement at all.
"Here comes someone! Where have all the people gone..." Zhou Mingkui's voice changed, and Xiao Letian was a little moved at this time. "What's going on? Where are your ambush troops? Where are your men..."
In Xiao Letian's plan, Zhou Mingkui's two hundred government officials were the main force holding back Sun Sanhu's bodyguards. They did not seek to defeat them as long as they could delay time. The first and second companies outside the city had already set up an ambush, and they would kill the green battalion soldiers whenever they dared to approach them.
After defeating the Green Camp soldiers, the two companies counterattacked Zhou Mingkui's mansion again. By then, they would be able to attack Sun Sanhu from both inside and outside in one fell swoop. This plan can be said to be perfect, but I didn't expect that these head-catchers in Tongzhi Yamen actually slipped up at the critical moment.
"Zhou Mingkui, how did you arrange it? The money that the foreign company supports you every month is no less than ten thousand taels, and now when it comes to you, you actually have diarrhea?" Mr. Long grabbed Mr. Zhou's collar angrily.
At this time, Sun Sanhu outside the greenhouse laughed arrogantly, "Hahaha, Xiao Letian, do you think you can deceive me with what you did? I have already obtained the evidence that you bribed the Yamen. Do you think I didn't guard against you?" Just go ahead and dream..."
At the same time, the bickering between Sun Sanhu and Xiao Letian had spread throughout the yamen. In a side room filled with sundries, a man in black was sitting in the middle holding a torch. Next to him were a circle of fellow yamen Zhou Xing, the police officer and head catcher, was also inside.
The man in black shook the torch, and from time to time he would shake it under his buttocks. Every time he shook it, these people screamed in fright.
"Haha, why are you all looking so sad? Come and give me a smile for grandpa..." After saying that, the man in black flashed the torch again, and in the dancing light, a large gunpowder box under his butt was clearly visible.
Zhou Xing and the others were laughing like ghosts crying. The man in black seemed very dissatisfied. "Fuck, your laughter is so fucking ugly. It's like crying. Laugh again, or I'll blow you up..."
This was a box of military granulated black powder. It was going to ignite the whole house and make it collapse to the sky. These officers were too frightened to resist and quickly laughed.
In the entire Tongzhi Yamen, the ten rooms where soldiers were hidden have been controlled by dead soldiers, and Xiao Letian's plan has been completely disrupted.
