592 Playing traitors
Lin Yuan sneered: "No money? Stop talking nonsense with me." As he spoke, he pointed at Konnick with his hand and said, "Isn't he here to settle the payment?" Did he come empty-handed? What about the payment? ”
Lin Yuan guessed right, Connick was indeed here to pay, and it was settled in silver, they brought dozens of people, carrying more than thirty large boxes, which were filled with white silver.
The soldiers rushed into the cabin with their guns, and a few of them had already broken in, and Konnick suddenly said, "Slow! I have a receipt here. ”
Lin Yuan waved his hand to stop everyone, then looked at Connick and asked, "Do you have a receipt?" Where are your receipts? ”
Connick said to Lin Yuan, "You wait first, let me ask the captain." Connick turned his head, looked at the captain and said, "Did he give you a receipt?" If so, where did you put it? ”
Antoine said: "Yes, yes, but I got angry and tore up the receipt, what should I do?" ”
Connick slapped his thigh and said, "Eh, my mother-in-law, why did you tear up the receipt, Lin Yuan, don't you still know what to do?" He has the most ghost ideas, and he can still find out if you keep the receipt? You tore it up! ”
Antoine said: "Then what do you say, I've already torn it." ”
Connick hurriedly asked, "What about the torn pieces?" You're not going to throw them into the ocean, are you? ”
Antoine said: "I don't remember either, I didn't care about it after I tore the receipt, by the way, I tore it in the wheelhouse, and the wheelhouse was cleaned by the helmsman, and I went to ask him if he had picked it up." ”
Antoine hurriedly asked people to find the helmsman, Connick looked at Lin Yuan with a smile on his face, and said, "Wait a minute, my lord, we are already looking for it, don't worry." ”
Lin Yuan glanced at his watch and said, "Okay, I'll give you ten minutes." ”
The helmsman soon approached Antoine, who asked, "Did you find the note I threw while cleaning the wheelhouse?" ”
The helmsman nodded and said, "See." ”
Antoine felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart and asked, "Then where did you put them?" ”
The helmsman said, "As is customary, everything that has been cleaned is piled up in the recovery compartment. "It turns out that in this era, there was no packaging of plastic and the like, and the garbage on the ship was the scattered cinders on the deck, the salt stains left after the sea breeze brought the sea water to the deck, etc., and the most was dust, because the ship burned coal, so there would be a lot of coal ash on the deck.
The fact that the British did not throw these things into the sea after cleaning them also showed Antoine's economic acumen, and they gathered them together and sold them back to China to building materials companies to be used as fillers for road construction.
Antoine heard the helmsman's words and hurriedly said, "Then don't hurry up and find it." ”
Konnick immediately stood up and said to the helmsman, "I'll go with you." ”
Lin Yuan watched them from the deck, and after more than ten minutes, Connick really came back, holding a few pieces of paper in his hand, and cheered: "Found it, I found it, I found the receipt." ”
Everyone on the deck laughed out loud when they saw Connick's appearance, it turned out that his face was black and white, like a flower-faced cat, Antoine walked up to Lin Yuan with the receipt and said, "Look, I have found the receipt." ”
Lin Yuan stretched out his hand and said, "Take it and I'll take a look." ”
Antoine carefully held the pieces of paper in the palm of his hand, for fear that these pieces of paper would disappear if his hand trembled, and then hundreds of thousands of pounds would be gone, Lin Yuan didn't use his hands to take it, just poked his head out to look at it and said: "The handwriting on this is no longer clear, how can I know if you are using something to coax me casually!" ”
After Lin Yuan finished speaking, he said to the soldiers on the side: "Collect the money anyway." ”
Antoine hurriedly stopped and said, "No, no, we really don't have any money." At this moment, the warrior who searched the cabin said: "There are thirty large chests of silver in it!" ”
Lin Yuan said: "It's just right, carry them out, it's all ours!" ”
But thirty boxes of silver, each box weighs hundreds of catties, Lin Yuan's subordinates are too small to lift it at all, Lin Yuan has an idea, and said to the laborers who are watching the excitement on the dock: "Come on, come on, let's come up and move the silver together!" Preferential remuneration! ”
The laborers on the dock saw that they were going to move the foreigner's silver, and rushed up one after another, Antoine and Connick didn't dare to stop it, they could only watch Lin Yuan take people to move all the silver, and when Lin Yuan left, Antoine understood, it turned out that Lin Yuan gave himself time to find a receipt and was purely playing tricks on himself, and he was not only tricked, but also taken away by others!
Antoine was so angry that his eyes darkened, and he fell on the deck with a "bang", and everyone hurried up to rescue him, and after a long time, Antoine woke up, and Connick said: "Don't be sad, I already have a way to make Lin Yuan suffer a big loss!" ”
Antoine asked, "Lin Yuan is so powerful, what can you do?" ”
Kangnick said: "He knew about the fact that I bought the bristles from Xu Xianglin, so I guess Xu Xianglin must have found Lin Yuan, and we will do something about the bristles." ”
After Lin Yuan's action in the past two days, the foreigners in the port were obedient and paid the money, and Lin Yuan knew that the British ambassador to China would definitely not give up, so he was also ready to fight with Jonas, and at this time, someone suddenly came to report, saying that Xu Xianglin had sent someone to ask for help, saying that the British were at his home and wanted to arrest him.
Lin Yuan thought to himself: "That batch of bristles is the key material for our future development of the navy, and we can't let them fall into the hands of the British no matter what." Lin Yuan immediately ordered Yu Ming to take two companies of soldiers to rescue Xu Xianglin.
Yu Ming was training Gu Jinkai's sailors at this time, Lin Yuan knew that they could not be stationed here for a long time, so Gu Jinkai's sailors must be trained well, so he ordered Yu Ming to train strictly, Yu Ming received the order, and immediately took people to join Lin Yuan, and Lin Yuan led everyone to run towards Xu Xianglin's home.
Xu Xianglin's family lives near the outskirts of the city, when Lin Yuan and they arrived, they saw a group of British people around the Xu family compound to show off their might, they were all Asco's guards, all holding guns in their hands, and there were bright bayonets on the guns, in the center of the field, Xu Xianglin was confronting a fake foreign devil, and the fake foreign devil was Connick.
Lin Yuan waved his hand and ordered: "Target the British in the field, the first company will outflank from the east side, and the second company will outflank from the west side, and after going up, they will get their guns down first!" ”
At the command, the soldiers pounced on the British soldiers in the field like tigers descending the mountain, and the British soldiers were caught off guard, and were suddenly surrounded by the soldiers, and put their guns on the ground one after another in the shouts of everyone to surrender their guns and not kill.
Connick saw Lin Yuan leading the troops to rush up, walked up to Lin Yuan, pointed at Lin Yuan's nose and scolded, "What do you want to do?" Actually taking action against the troops of our British Empire, are you going to provoke a war? Let me tell you, our British Empire is the most powerful ...... in the world."
Everyone saw that he was completely Chinese, but they all felt funny when they said "our British Empire", so they laughed out loud, and Lin Yuan asked: "Why hasn't your face been washed?" And the soot on it? ”
