Volume VIII 1159 Queen's Road Robbery

Next chapter

Countless small ships sent the captains of each ship to the St. Peter, of course, it was impossible for all the captains to attend the meeting, mainly the captains of the twelve capital warships, and the highest ranking of the three frigate captains, a total of fifteen people exactly odd number, voting on some important matters will not lead to a tie.

Soon smoke rose from the spacious captain's room, open vodka and whiskey spirits were placed on the table, and the officers leaned back in their chairs and shook the syrup, listening to Stefansky relay the latest information.

Molière was just the intelligence coordinator provided by the French side, and he did not have the right to attend such a high-level meeting, but in the guard room next to the captain's room, he could use the brass to listen to the whole meeting.

The Russian language, with its many dialects and slang, was so difficult to understand that Molière had to rely on two of his men to whisper translators to keep up, and when he heard the exclamations of the fifteen captains in the room, he laughed, and laughed very happily.

"Money has been fascinating since ancient times, these polar bears are really poor, if ten tons of gold can't impress them, I'll gouge out my eyes......"

"Sir...... Isn't this information a little distorted, ten tons of gold! Is it possible with Xiao Letian's financial resources......

"Is it possible? Please don't use rhetorical questions, please use affirmative sentences......" Molière sneered, "Xiao Lotian is as cunning as a fox, he has long seen the difference between gold and silver between Europe and Asia, and has long understood the game of silver arbitrage that we have been playing......"

"He minted silver coins and issued negotiable bonds, in the final analysis, he wanted to take the lead in poaching more resources, mainly gold reserves, from the Qing mainland......"

"There are many gold and silver mines in the Japanese archipelago, as far as I know, all the gold mines in Japan have been controlled by the Fuso Bank, as long as the gold is smelted, it will be transported away immediately, where is it transported? I really didn't know before, but now I understand that Xiao Lotian really dug a lot of treasure caves in the Pacific Ocean......

The subordinate asked, "I'm sorry, I'm still a little skeptical, is this really true......? It's a little too bizarre!"

"Huh...... The latest news from Hong Kong, this is the intelligence spit out by the real big fish, and the credibility is still very high......"

Molière was right, just 12 hours ago, a sudden accident occurred on the southern shore of Hong Kong's Victoria Bay, the most prosperous area in the north of Hong Kong Island.

On the busiest Queen's Road, three figures suddenly rushed out of the alley, one of them covered in blood, and the other was stuffed with something bulging in his arms, and occasionally a silver coin or two would fall to the ground.

And the third person was even more sturdy, holding a wrist-dissolving knife in his hand, which was also stained with blood.

Doodoo ...... The brass whistles of the police were sharp and piercing, and the early colonial policemen, carrying batons in one hand, round shields made of rattan in the other, and hats on their heads, were chasing after them.

"Catch him! Catch the robbers...... They robbed the Dafa gold store...... Catch the robbers......"

When the citizens heard that it was a robber, they were so frightened that they scattered, and the Dafa gold store was heavily guarded, and the three of them dared to rob where during the day, and they looked like bandits, and the fool helped them.

The people on the street dodged one after another, the police behind were panting after chasing, and even the reinforced police officers were almost tired, but anyone with a discerning eye could see clearly that these old fritters did not have the strength to chase at all, they were purely grinders.

After a while, there was a sound of leather boots trampling the stone pavement on the street, probably because the robbery was more severe, so it alarmed the nearby British soldiers, and many important intersections of Queen's Road were closed.

There was a sound of closed doors on the street, and only the people on the second and third floors dared to boldly watch the thieves below through the cracks in the windows, and everyone couldn't understand why an ordinary robbery would alarm this group of British soldiers, who had never cared about the trivial matters of local security.

Of course, no criminal dares to trouble foreigners, and colonists will always be first-class citizens here.

In an alley attached to Queen's Road, a small building with eighty percent of the new was also alarmed by the robbery, and the owner saw that many people below were running towards the house, and there was the sound of closing the door everywhere, and he also told the housekeeper to quickly close the door so as not to get into trouble.

But just as the housekeeper was about to close the door, suddenly a slender jade hand reached in through the crack in the door, and the seemingly weak little hand grasped the wooden door steadily, and the housekeeper suddenly felt that the wooden door was as if it had taken root.

"Girl, who are you looking for......" Before he could finish speaking, the wooden door was forcibly pushed open, and a woman wearing a very ordinary Chaoshan costume walked in from outside.

There was white sand hanging from the big hat, and the butler couldn't see the woman's face at all, but he could guess from that hand alone that the woman must be very beautiful.

"I'm looking for the owner of your house, I know he's on the second floor, so I don't need to report it, I'll go up by myself......"

"Oops...... How can you girl break into it hard, how can you do it without reporting!" the butler wanted to stop him, but he couldn't stop it.

The woman walked to the middle of the hall, and suddenly four big men rushed out of the surrounding room, and the revolver in their hands was aimed at the woman, and without saying a word, the murderous aura had spread.

The butler swallowed his saliva, sighed and shook his head, and closed the door with his backhand, "Why bother......"

The woman didn't mean to be scared at all, she smiled faintly and looked up at the stairs, "Mr. Ryoma Sakamoto, isn't it rude to treat guests like this......?"

"I'll tell you the truth, in order to prevent you from escaping, we deliberately staged a robbery scene outside, and now the British soldiers have blocked all the passages around here, if you don't cooperate, I'm afraid that you will suffer in the end!"

There was a steady footstep on the Tengtengteng stairs, and Sakamoto Ryoma, who had just left the Ryukyus, appeared in front of the woman, and he looked at the woman with the hat lightly, "Who are you?

"I'm ......" Before the woman finished speaking, she just opened her mouth when a white light flashed next to her body, and the woman was caught off guard by the white light flashing the hat on her head.

A warrior flashed past her with a sword in hand, and the moment her form froze, the bamboo hat and white veil were split in two and fell to the ground.

"Seeing my lord, please don't hide your head and show your tail, it's rude!" the samurai sword was unsheathed, then bowed slightly to the woman, and took three steps back to make way for the middle of the living room.

With a beautiful face and many of the advantages of a southern woman, she is indeed a beauty that is pleasing to the eye. But Ryoma Sakamoto hasn't seen any beautiful woman, and such an 80-point color is not enough to move him.

The girl with the knife was not afraid at all, she smiled and bowed and said, "Lord Ryoma, I represent Beijing, and I can also represent the British...... Is that enough weight to talk to you?"
