Li Zhen opened the lion's mouth, but Aitang couldn't refute it.

The initiative in the negotiation is not in the hands of Aitang, but in the hands of Li Zhen.

In this case, it is like they are persecuting the Qing Kingdom.

Li Zhen saw that Aitang and Ali Guo were silent and didn't speak, and said lightly: "If the two of you don't agree with the conditions I put forward, where to go back and forth, think about it again." However, you are not willing to ransom the prisoners, and I will tell the captured British and French soldiers and officers, who may do something drastic if they know that you are unwilling to save them for the sake of money. ”

Aitang secretly scolded Li Zhen for being shameless, but said helplessly: "Your Excellency General, I agree with your conditions, and I am willing to pay 300,000 taels of silver, 1,000 guns, and 200,000 rounds of ammunition." ”

"I agree!"

Ali Guo nodded in agreement and said weakly. At this moment, Ali Guo was devastated and weak, as if all his strength had been drained......

Li Zhen saw that Ali Guo and Aitang cooperated, laughed, and said: "The two of them are reasonable, and Li Zhen deeply admires them. Now that an agreement has been reached, please go back and prepare the silver, guns, and ammunition. When the two sides exchange, I will check carefully. If there is a problem with the guns and ammunition, there will be captured soldiers killed, and I hope that the two of you will abide by the agreement. ”

Ah Liguo and Aitang stood up and left without saying a word.

After leaving the Qing army camp, Aitang said: "Ah Liguo, you want to give Li Zhen 500,000 taels of silver, what should I do?" ”

"What else can I do? I have to pay out of my own pocket. ”

Ali Guo said with a solemn expression: "The problem of guns and ammunition is easy to solve, after all, soldiers have to consume weapons and ammunition, and taking out a thousand guns and 200,000 rounds of ammunition will not cause any problems. However, 500,000 taels of silver is not a small amount, and if it is known by the domestic parliamentarians, there will definitely be a big storm. The only way to solve it now is to pay for it. As for the dead soldiers, they have to be dealt with properly, which is really a headache. ”

Aitang also secretly sighed, he also paid for it himself.

However, Aitang has already made up his mind to pay attention to the fact that he must sell more opium after this hemorrhage to earn back.

The two left, and Li Zhen asked Adams to be taken down and locked up.

Li Zhen leaned back in his chair and thought quietly, the coldness in his eyes getting stronger and stronger. Li Zhen was thinking about the problem of Yang Nengge and Lan Weiwen, he left the barracks with the soldiers, and sat back and watched the barracks being attacked, resulting in the loss of the Qing army camp, and the two must have held a grudge. If it is not resolved, maybe the two of them will be wiped out by Li Zhen together.

What's more, the two colluded with Ali Guo, Ai Tang, Ma Hui and others, and also had conflicts with Li Zhen.

Without getting rid of the roadblocks, it will be difficult for Li Zhen to gain a foothold in Shanghai.

After making a decision, Li Zhen had a detailed plan in his heart, and decisively ordered: "Yang Banhou, you go and bring Lan Weiwen and Yang Nengge to the camp tent, I will solve the hidden danger." ”

"The last general obeys!"

Yang Banhou replied and hurriedly left.

After a while, Yang Banhou took Yang Nengge and Lan Weiwen to the big tent. Li Zhen said slowly: "Yang Daotai, Lan County Order, today the British and French forces attacked the barracks, and the two of you gave up resistance and surrendered to the foreigners, and were willing to be the lackeys of the foreigners." This is a big event, if it is reported to the emperor, what do you think? ”

"Plop!"

Lan Weiwen was so frightened that her legs weakened, and she knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "General Li, the lower officials are also helpless." ”

Yang Nengge knew that this was Li Zhen's threat, his eyes were cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Li Zhen, you are untrustworthy and baseless slandering your own official. Today's situation is not that Ben will surrender, but that you sit back and watch the camp being attacked by foreigners, which leads to defeat. I will play to the governor of Jiangsu, Xu Naizhao, Lord Xu, and ask him to play to the emperor and expose your crimes one by one. When the time comes, you, the Shanghai Daoist, will be dismissed and investigated immediately, depending on how arrogant you are. ”

Li Zhen smiled and said, "Okay, what a Yang Daotai." ”

Yang Nengge said proudly: "If you know each other, cooperate with me well." As long as you follow Lord Xu Naizhao to do things, I won't treat you badly, and Wanguan's family wealth is just a snap of your fingers. ”

Li Zhen sneered twice and said, "Yang Nengge, your backstage is Xu Naizhao, can you spread the news?" ”

"Ahh

Yang Nengge exclaimed in surprise and said in a lost voice: "Li Zhen, you dare to murder the imperial court officials? ”

Li Zhen didn't answer, but looked at Lan Weiwen and asked, "Lan County Order, you are a witness, and your words are very important." Today's foreigners' attack on the camp, do you think it was Yang Daotai's surrender to the foreigners? Or would Ben sit back and watch the camp be attacked? This is a very critical question, and you need to think about it carefully. ”

Lan Weiwen saw that she was being pulled in, and knew that if she didn't cooperate, she might be killed.

Yang Nengge was nervous in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Lan County Order, Li Zhen doesn't dare to do anything to us?" He wants to establish himself in Shanghai, and it would never have been possible without our help. ”

Lan Weiwen glanced at Li Zhen and began to ponder in her heart.

Do you follow Yang Nengge or Li Zhen?

Lan Weiwen glanced at Yang Banhou, who was standing next to him and was eager to try, and was sure that Yang Nengge would definitely not be able to get out of the camp. Lan Weiwen made a decision, and said: "General Li, today's incident is completely because Yang Daotai is greedy for life and afraid of death, so he did not resist and surrender. General Li led the army to defeat the foreigners and greatly boost the country's prestige, this matter should be played to the emperor and ask for the emperor's approval. ”

Yang Nengge shouted loudly: "Lan Weiwen, you actually betrayed me? ”

At this moment, Yang Nengge was really panicked.

Without Lan Weiwen's support, Yang Nengge would be difficult to support alone.

Li Zhen nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Lan County Ling is worthy of being a humble gentleman, and what he says is the truth. The emperor asked me to come to Shanghai to quell the rebellion of the Little Knife Society, and he has been given the right to arbitrary. Yang Nengge surrendered to the foreigners, bowed his knees, and was directly executed on the spot. Yang Banhou, give Lan County a knife, and let Lan County order end Yang Nengge. ”

"Li Zhen, you can't kill me, you can't kill me."

Yang Nengge roared loudly and immediately prepared to escape, but was held by Yang Banhou with one hand and couldn't move.

Lan Weiwen trembled, secretly saying that Li Zhen was ruthless.

If he kills Yang Nengge and is caught by Li Zhen with a handle, he can only be loyal to Li Zhen.

Yang Nengge's eyes rolled, and he suddenly said: "General Li, Li Daotai, I am willing to be loyal to you and do things for you, I just ask you to spare my life." Yang Nengge has lost his confidence and does not dare to resist stubbornly. He could beg Xu Naizhao to do something, but Xu Naizhao couldn't save the fire from far away, so he couldn't help him at all.

Li Zhen said without moving: "Plug his mouth!" ”

Yang Banhou immediately blocked Yang Nengge's mouth and prevented Yang Nengge from speaking.

Li Zhen instructed: "Lan County Order, do it." ”

Lan Weiwen couldn't refuse, so she could only obediently pull out the steel knife from Yang Banhou's waist. Rao is like this, when he pulled out the steel knife, Lan Weiwen's hands were trembling slightly, but he said in his mouth: "Yang Daotai, don't blame me, if you want to blame, blame you for not knowing Mount Tai and provoking people who shouldn't be provoked." ”

Yang Nengge whined, but couldn't make a sound.

"Poof!"

Lan Weiwen stabbed Yang Nengge's heart with a knife, stirred it hard, and then pulled out the long knife. Warm blood splattered out, dotting Lan Weiwen's face with blood stains. Lan Weiwen looked at Li Zhen in despair, and said respectfully: "My lord, Yang Nengge surrendered to the foreigners, bowed his knees, and took him to the law on the spot." ”

Li Zhen was even more satisfied, and said with a smile: "Lan County Ling is loyal to the country and eliminates harm for the country, which I will admire." With the assistance of the Lan County Order, the rebellion in Shanghai will be put down soon. ”
