I saw Master Xu away and invited Wu Xu and Sun Feng.

Unexpectedly, Wu Xu had just arrived for a while and chatted with Zhang Guangsheng. Thinking that they were all from Qiantang, they might have recognized them a long time ago, so Han Xiufeng didn't say anything.

Compared to Wu Xu, who was not only familiar with his words and demeanor, Sun Feng, the acting magistrate of Shanghai, seemed a little restrained. He spoke respectfully and even presented his resume according to the custom of first visit to Shangguan. However, when talking about the rebellious parties in the city, he seemed far more anxious than Wu Xu, and he wanted to summon gentry and merchants to raise food and money after the visit.

But it's normal to think about it. He didn't know how many years he had been on the standby, and finally he was appointed as a vacant person. If he didn't quickly recover the county town of Shanghai, his county magistrate would be inconsistent with his name, let alone earning back the money he had donated to make up for the vacant person.

Han Xiufeng weighed the pros and constrained them to Wu Jianzhang, who had just returned from the river tax collection, and asked Wu Xu and Wu Jianzhang to negotiate with foreigners, and asked Sun Feng and Wu Jianzhang to summon gentry and merchants, raise food and money, recruit Zhuangwang, and help the upcoming army to quell the city and suppress bandits.

Although Wu Jianzhang was deprived of his post, the top dress and flower feathers he had donated before were still there. He has no intention to handle the court yet. Moreover, he not only knows the situation in Shanghai best, but also has a good relationship with foreigners. Wu Xu and Sun Feng, who are new to this, have no objection to Han Xiufeng's arrangements, so he led his friends, family and Wu Jianzhang to work hard. Han Xiufeng, who had arranged everything, not only became a hand-off manager, but also asked Datou and others to pack their luggage and go back to their original courtyard.

Zhang Guangsheng packed his luggage and carried his luggage. He couldn't help but ask: "Second Master, stay here, why should I go back? What should I do if I go back after I go back?"

"Yes, Fourth Brother, why do you always move?" Datou was also curious.

Han Xiufeng looked back and saw if anything was left behind, then turned around and said, "Wu Jianzhang can find out the news that Liu Lichuan asked the English Consul to help send a message to Jiangning, and Liu Lichuan and other party leaders can also find out our news. The concession is mixed, so we should be cautious."

"Fourth brother, are you saying that those turtle sons will come to tie us up?" Datou asked.

"It may also be sent to assassinate people. It is easy to avoid hidden arrows and is difficult to prevent them. I don't want to die here in a daze, and I don't want to be tied up to the city by them."

Lin Qingyuan, the second Japanese devil who had already been determined to be with Han Xiufeng, agreed deeply and said subconsciously: "Liu Lichuan and Chen Alin must know that the Fourth Master is coming, and even the Fourth Master has lived here in the past few days. The reason why he has not taken action is because he is worried about offending the Citi Consul. But now, the Citi Consul not only promised Lord Wu to impose tariffs on Citi merchants according to the old rules, but also returned the foreign guns and cannons on the "Antelope" to Lord Wu, and help Lord Wu to deal with them openly and secretly, they will definitely not give face to the Citimen."

"So it's not advisable to stay here for a long time."

"Fourth Master, what should we do if Mr. Wu and Mr. Sun and others have left?" Zhang Guangsheng asked again after thinking about it.

"You didn't see that they both wanted to make achievements. Even if they were allowed to go with us, they would not be idle and would show up in public. We would not block people's wealth, nor would they block their future. If they want to make achievements, let them make achievements." Han Xiufeng confirmed that something had fallen and signaled Datou, who had changed into casual clothes, to set off.

After finally meeting a fellow villager, Zhang Guangsheng was both worried and reluctant to let go. Seeing his eagerness to speak, Han Xiufeng simply smiled and said, "Guangsheng, if you are worried about Wu Xu, stay. I will have nothing to do after I go back."

"Fourth Master, I..."

"Just do it like that. You are not my family at all. You are just entrusted by your cousin to stay in Shanghai to help me for a few days, and you have already helped me a lot."

Zhang Guangsheng weighed the matter and bowed, "Second Master, then I will stay. If there is any news here, I can report it to you in time."

"Okay, but you have to be careful."

"Don't worry, Master Fourth, I won't have any trouble."

...

Everyone walked from the back door to a small river not far away, and took the boat hired early to return to the house next to the British Concession. Mr. Xu did not come back, but went back to Songjiang directly from the Citi Concession. The house was left with the accountant and a few friends from the Shanghai Branch of the "Risenchang" and Mr. Xu, as well as the two families left by Mr. Xu.

I never thought that as soon as I settled down, Chen Hu, who had been disguised as before, was waiting for the guards nearby to be on guard, ran back excitedly and shouted: "Fourth Master, Fourth Master, the government army is here, the army to quell the rebellion is here!"

"Here, where are you?"

"It's all outside. If you don't believe it, go out and have a look."

Han Xiufeng didn't bother to drink tea anymore, put down his teacup and followed him out. Everyone walked to the door and looked south. They saw teams of green camp soldiers and brave men rushing over from the southwest, holding colorful flags.

"Fourth Master, that's the Eight Banners Horse Team, so many people, so many horses!"

"There are at least five or six thousand people in this way."

Chen Hu and other old Taiyong's brothers were talking happily, and suddenly they found that the nearby people began to take their families to flee to the concession like the members of the association. The small stone bridge leading to the concession was crowded with people, and the officers and soldiers were chasing them like ducks.

The Eight Banners soldiers had horses, ran fast, shouting and waving machetes to chase after the fields. The people were chased and cried and cried, and some even jumped into the river in a panic.

Woodquan didn't expect that he would look forward to the stars and the moon, and he actually came to these Qiu Ba who was even more hateful than the Society. He said in a daze, "It's really a large army that has passed by, and no grass grows!"

Han Xiufeng did not expect that the officers and soldiers brought by Xu Naizhao from the Jiangnan camp had this kind of virtue, and his face immediately changed: "Chen Hu obeyed the order, changed my number jacket and took a gun to the bridge to cover the people, reveal his identity. Whoever dared to burn, kill, loot, and dared to kill good people and make achievements, would be killed without any scruples!"

"Abide by the order!"

With Han Xiufeng's order, Chen Hu and others ran back to change clothes and get guns. Thinking of the thousands of officials coming here, Woodquan hurriedly reminded: "Fourth Master, they don't know who you are, so we should avoid it quickly!"

"If you don't know, just tell them who I am! Big Head, move a chair out and cast out my old flag!"

Datou reacted and hurriedly said, "Oh, I'll get it now."

As he was talking, Chen Hu and fifteen other township heroes were already rushing out of the house wearing their jackets. Seeing Han Xiufeng pointing at the bridge with a gloomy face, he didn't dare to stop for a moment and rushed over.

Lin Qingyuan had never seen this situation before, and his legs were trembling with fear.

At this time, Datou ran out with a big flag in his arms and said anxiously: "Fourth brother, the flag is found, there is a flag but no flagpole!"

"Don't there be bamboo poles on the boat? Go get it."

"Oh, I'll get it."

As soon as Datou finished speaking, a gunshot rang out from the bridge.

Han Xiufeng stood on tiptoe and looked at it. It turned out that Chen Hu was worried that the Eight Banners Horse Team would not be able to hold back the horse and would run into the people who were crying and shouting, and he immediately made a decision to shoot him.

Six township warriors with guns lined up in a row and were ready, while nine township warriors without guns guarded both sides of them.

Thinking of the foreign gun teams on the other side of the river, those foreigners not only had sharp firebuzzers but also dozens of cannons, Han Xiufeng hurriedly said: "Qingyuan, hurry up and negotiate with the foreign gun team, telling them that the government army is coming, not a rebellion party, and will not go to the concession, so please don't be nervous."

"As for orders, I'll go here!"

At the same time, the Eight Banners Horse Team, which was about to rush to the bridge, were shocked by the gunshots, and they all tied their horses around the fields. The Green Camp soldiers and Zhuangyong at the back thought they had met the rioters, and they were suddenly in chaos. It was not until a military officer rushed up, waved the oxtail knife and scolded them for a few words before spreading to the sides.

"Fourth brother, I found Gaozi, I found Gaozi."

"If you find it, please help me erect the flag!" Han Xiufeng slowly sat on the chair that Xiao Wuzi had just moved out, holding it tightly and staring at the officers and soldiers who were getting closer and closer.

The military officer just now tied the reins and slowly rode his horse to the bridge. Seeing Chen Hu and others rushing forward to protect the people who were crying and shouting across the bridge, he asked coldly: "Who are you? How dare you block the army's way!"

He was surrounded by hundreds of officers and soldiers all at once. Chen Hu was extremely nervous and held the gun tightly and plundered his courage and said, "Report to my master, I am the young man who is ordered by my master to cover the people across the river. My master said, "If anyone dares to burn, kill, loot, and who dares to kill good people, he will be killed without any hesitation!"

"Who burned, killed, robbed, and who killed, took the lead in killing good things?"

Thinking of the second Japanese devils named Lin negotiating with foreigners on the east coast. Although he only had six guns on his side, not only had hundreds of guns on the other side but also dozens of guns were equipped with guns. Chen Hu suddenly became bolder and aimed at the military officer who was on the horse and said without hesitation: "Does there be burning, killing, looting, master, please think clearly!"

"Bold, I actually framed me. Do you don't want to live anymore?"

"Lao Jiu, don't talk nonsense to him. It's amazing to have foreign guns. They have foreign guns. We have people!" A Qiang general squeezed out of the crowd and pointed at Chen Hu with the tip of the knife and roared.

At the same time, it turned out that the team of Eight Banners soldiers riding horses saw that there were too many people on the bridgehead and that the people guarding the bridgehead had foreign guns in their hands, so they simply turned their heads and rushed to the door of the house, thinking that robbing such a large mansion should be able to catch some fuel.

Unexpectedly, there was a big flag at the door, a big and thick man holding the flagpole tightly, and on the left was a young man in his twenties and wearing a long blue cloth gown. Behind the young man stood an old Confucian scholar in his forties looking like a master and a young family member.

The leading Eight Banners soldiers were obviously illiterate. They were circling in front of Han Xiufeng while circling: "Second, look at what is written on the flag!"
