Something was going to happen in the city, and everyone slept with their clothes, prepared to cross the river and go to the east bank for a while when there was any movement, but there was nothing wrong all night.

Xiao Wuzi was in the city, but he was worried that if there was a false alarm, the ticket number had neither account book nor money would affect business, so he planned to go to the city to take a look.

Han Xiufeng did not dare to take it lightly. Not only did he not let him enter the city, he did not plan to go to the concession again today. Instead, he found a hoe from the house where the miscellaneous items were stored, and came to the vegetable field in front of the courtyard. While pretending to weed, he observed the movements in the direction of the Xiaoshiqiao. Pan Er and Zhang Guangsheng were worried. One of them found a straw hat and put it on, and the other carried a bamboo basket and followed him quietly.

"Squat down, do the three big men gather together and look like they are working?" Han Xiufeng pointed to the loofah stand diagonally opposite, which was built with reed bamboo, and signaled Zhang Guangsheng to hide under the loofah vine.

"Oh, I know." Zhang Guangsheng smiled awkwardly and hurried over.

Pan Er squatted in the ground, pretending to tidy up the pumpkin vines, while looking into the distance, he asked, "Fourth brother, where are Chen Hu and the others hiding? Why can't I see it?"

"It should be still ahead," Han Xiufeng held the hoe and looked at the pedestrians rushing towards Xiaoshiqiao in groups, and said solemnly: "Most guild halls are built outside the city, and most guild parties live outside the city. There should be movement now, otherwise so many people would not run to the concession."

Pan Er looked at him and murmured: "It's not too much."

"This is not too many. There were only a few people who crossed the bridge yesterday." Han Xiufeng thought about it and said, "What's more, this is the British Concession, and the French Concession is next to the county town. If nothing unexpected happens, the French Concession will probably be overcrowded now."

Zhang Guangsheng turned around and said, "Fourth Master, why don't I go to the French Concession to have a look?"

Han Xiufeng didn't want to be like a deaf and blind man, and pondered: "It's okay to go and see, but you have to be careful."

"Fourth Master, don't worry, I'll pass by the British Concession, nothing will happen."

"Then go, go early and come back soon."

Just as he saw Zhang Guangsheng away, Su Jueming hurriedly ran along the river bank, shouting while running: "Fourth Master, Fourth Master, I'm not good, two foreigners are here!"

"Don't worry, let's talk slowly, where did those two foreigners come from?"

"I came from the north and brought more than a dozen guns. I said a lot of words, but I didn't understand a single word."

Han Xiufeng realized that it should be the Citigroup sailor named Lin, the second Japanese devil, said yesterday, and carried a hoe and smiled: "It should be here to sell guns. Why has Lin Qingyuan not come yet? How can he do it if he is not here?"

"Yes, he came early this morning when he spoke yesterday." Su Jueming subconsciously muttered in the direction of the county town.

"Don't worry about him, go back and have a look first."

...

Han Xiufeng and Pan Er hurried back to the house with Su Jueming. Sure enough, they saw two foreigners wearing triangular hats, beards on their faces, dirty clothes on their upper body, and tights on their lower body that clearly silhouetted the outline of the second child. They were two strange hand-shaped hands on their waists, and a strange smell on their bodies.

The wall behind them was wrapped around two long tart cloth, and the head was not tightly wrapped, and the muzzle exposed could be clearly seen.

They were gesturing with Datou and Xiao Wuzi, while gurgling something.

Big Head held the knife tightly and didn't know how to respond. As soon as he saw Han Xiufeng, he said anxiously: "Fourth Brother, you're back. Tell these two foreigners, I don't understand what they said."

Han Xiufeng thought to himself that you don’t understand, can I understand? Just as he was holding his hands and didn’t know how to say hello, the tall foreign devil said happily in stiff official language, "Yeah, foreign devil, foreign devil." While saying that, he patted his own chest, as if he was called a foreign devil.

Han Xiufeng was so happy that he couldn't help but smile and said, "Hello, Mr. Foreign Devil."

"Hello, I, the foreign devil, hahaha..."

"I am Han Xiufeng, my name is Han Xiufeng. Han Xiufeng is my name. Can you understand it?"

The tall foreigner seemed to have been talking a lot about dealing with the Chinese, pointing at Han Xiufeng and asking, "Han Xiufeng?"

"Yes, yes, yes, Han Xiufeng." The tall foreigner was amused, looked back at his companion, turned around and unbuttoned the tart cloth bag leaning against the wall, pointed to the six bird guns inside and said a lot.

This is different from the introduction of the names of each other. Han Xiufeng didn't understand a single sentence. He didn't know how to communicate. The short foreigner suddenly took out a silver dollar from his pocket and held it in front of everyone. He then handed the silver dollar to the tall foreigner, holding his hands up and constantly gestured.

It looked funny. Pan Er was not as nervous as before, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Fourth brother, this foreigner is quite smart."

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand, just know how to settle the accounts." Han Xiufeng also found it funny, so he simply pointed to the open courtyard gate and invited them to come in and talk.

These two foreigners were also very brave and were not worried about being beaten up at all. They carried two big foreign guns and followed them in.

Han Xiufeng asked Xiao Wuzi to get 100 silver dollars, regardless of whether the foreigners could understand what he said, and just said, "Mr. Foreign devil, let me take a look at the goods first." While taking out a bird gun from the tarpaulin bag to see if it was a fire. Thinking that after all, the guns were bought for Lu Daming and others, Zhang Guangsheng called Lu Daming over.

The guns brought by these two foreigners were better than those bought by Wu Wenming who sent him to Shanghai. They were heavy in their hands than the fire guns they used before, and looked a little longer. Lu Daming looked at the barrel, then opened the hammer, raised it and aimed, and gently pulled the trigger. He heard a snap, sparking on the flint.

"Second Master, this gun looks OK, but how to put gunpowder and lead into it and try to shoot it."

"How to try here, now is not the time to test the gun."

As soon as Han Xiufeng finished speaking, the tall foreigner took out a cowhide box from the tart cloth bag. While talking, he took out a piece of gunpowder and lead from the leather box. He took the gun from Lu Daming and put it in the muzzle.

Han Xiufeng didn't want to attract the association, so he hurriedly grabbed it: "Mr. Foreign devil, I believe you, let's talk about the price."

“#^&%!#…*&%￥&@34%#…”

The tall foreigner Guru Guru said a lot, and the short foreigner also followed with a smile. Han Xiufeng was so big that he simply took the gun from him and put it on the ground paved with blue bricks. Then he took the purse from Xiao Wuzi, counted out thirty silver dollars, divided it into three small piles, and turned around and asked with a smile: "Mr. Foreign devil, how about a thirty silver dollars apart? I want as much as I want!"

"Nonono..." The short foreigner shook his head and snatched the purse from his hand, counted twenty dollars, and put them together with the three small piles before.

"Fifty yuan per pole, this is too expensive!" Before Han Xiufeng could speak, Su Jueming squatted down and picked up ten yuan, turned around and gestured, "Forty silver dollars, up to forty!"

"Nonono..." The short foreigner obviously thought there was little, so he snatched the silver dollar that Su Jueming picked up and put it next to the gun again.

Su Jueming couldn't help but smile and said, "Otherwise, let's give in, and you guys give in, thirty-five silver dollars per shot, there's no more!"

This time, not only did the short foreigners refuse to agree, but even the taller foreigners stop agreeing. They just squatted on the ground and snatched them, counting and counting for a while before they finished the deal with forty-three silver dollars.

After "negotiating" the price of the gun and talking about ammunition, it was another bargaining.

Han Xiufeng was just thinking it was funny. Xiao Wuzi's cousin Wood ran in in a hurry. When he saw Han Xiufeng, he said breathlessly: "Master Han, something happened! As soon as the sky was dawn, the gang members were ambushed outside the east gate and the north gate. The village heroes inside the small east gate were all their fellow villagers. After hearing the escapee's secret code outside, the insiders in the city opened the city gate. As soon as they entered the city, they went straight to the county government and the road bureau. When I was out of the city, they were all from the north gate!"

"Jueming, hurry up and send these two foreign devils away." Han Xiufeng calmed down and asked solemnly as he walked out: "Do you know what's going on in the city?"

"Today is the fifth day of the lunar month. Logically speaking, the county magistrate and the 'selling chicken' are going to worship in the Confucian Temple. Ten of them were taken away by the association. Is it still alive now? "Wooden wiped his sweat and then said, "I ran fast, not blocked in the city, and I could no longer get out of the slow ones."

Han Xiufeng looked into the direction of the county town and said coldly: "I am really afraid of anything. Fortunately, Guangsheng helped us rent this house outside the city. If we live in the city, it would be a big problem."

"Mr. Han, what should I do now?"

"We have only a few people. What else can we do except wait for the imperial court to send troops to quell the rebellion."

Woodquan asked anxiously: "Do you want to send someone to Songjiang to report to Qiao Mansion?"
