After staying in Shanghai for four days, Wang Naizeng finally figured out why Han Si sent two officials in other places, while Han Si sent only Su Jueming in this place in Shanghai.

Although Han Si was transferred from Songjiang early, his official reputation and connections in Songjiang Prefecture, especially in Shanghai County, were so good that if you had anything outside the concession, you could go to Xue Huan, Liu Cunhou, "Hu" and "Xiaohu" who were quelling the rebellion. If Xue Huan and Liu Cunhou could not help, they could go to Qiao Songnian who had been promoted to Taoist platform.

If you encounter something in the concession, you can either go to Wu Jianzhang, or ask the gentry and merchants on the list given by Shanghai magistrate Sun Fenghe. The payment cannot be done without money, and if you don’t have enough money, you can go to Zhou Xingyuan, the Shanghai County Magistrate who handles the donation of silk tea. There is even a foreign house called "Sichuan Guild Hall" in the concession, which is actually a private house, and is next to the foreign racetrack.

If you need someone, you have money and you have money, you will naturally get twice the result with half the effort when you do this job.

Finally, his eyes were opened. Wang Naizeng, who was truly shocked, could understand the true meaning of "time is out of my mind" better than anyone else. Not only did Su Jueming go to the Shanghai branch of "Risenchang" and sent the first message to the capital, but he also sent Lin Qingyuan, who had translated Han Si, and the six translators who Lin Qingyuan helped find, to coax and deceive the ship that Wu Jianchang helped to hire. The people sent to the capital together also asked Wu Jianchang and local gentry to collect as soon as they arrived in Shanghai.

When Gu Jinyan took his family and Ren Yu'er and Lian'er to Shanghai from Hai'an, Wang Naizeng had already arranged the matter in Shanghai almost exactly and was planning to take a boat to Ningbo.

When they came out of the capital, most of the civil and military officials who took office brought their families with their families. Wang Naizeng didn't think it was inconvenient, but the next itinerary was different. So he looked at the crowd who rushed here and said, "Shenzhi, Jueming, the boat to Fujian has been found for you. There will be a sand boat tomorrow and a foreign boat the day after tomorrow. Do you plan to set off tomorrow or the day after tomorrow?"

Gu Jinyan really wanted to take office early, but when he thought of the real job he wanted to do on this trip, he pondered: "Mr. Wang, the ancients said that if he didn't enter the tiger's den, how could he get a tiger's son? If he was born late, he would leave the day after tomorrow and take a foreigner's boat to Fujian."

Wang Naizeng nodded with satisfaction and asked with a smile: "Miss Ren, what are your plans next?"

Wang Naizeng was unwilling to take Ren Yu'er with him. Ren Yu'er also didn't want to follow a juren who was really not familiar. He said without thinking: "Mr. Wang, the little girl has to find a foreign doctor in Shanghai to help Lian'er treat her illness. Otherwise, you can take her first and wait until she can cure her illness, and the little girl will take Lian'er to Guangdong to find you."

"I don't think it's necessary to go to Guangdong, because Naizeng didn't know the next itinerary. When Naizeng saw Miss Ren, he might as well stay in Shanghai for a few more days. After Naizeng finished the work, he would pick you up and return to Beijing with Lian'er."

"Mr. Wang, if you are busy, you won't have to pick you up."

"How can this be done? Dongweng entrusted Miss Ren to Naizeng. Naizeng naturally wants to take good care of Miss Ren."

"Mr. Wang doesn't have to worry, the little girl can take good care of herself."

"Since that's the case, let's talk about returning to Beijing. After all, Ningbo, Xiamen, Fujian, Macau, Hong Kong and other places are not as good as Shanghai. It will take at least six or seven months to talk about this circle."

"That little girl takes her leave first." Ren Yuer felt that she was finally free. She squatted slightly and walked out of the living room slowly.

Please get rid of the trouble, Wang Naizeng was also relaxed and turned around and smiled, "Jueming, I will go to the Citi Concession to have a banquet. After the wine, I will stay at Wu Jianzhang's place at night. I will board the boat from him tomorrow morning, so you don't have to send it. Just do the errands assigned by the Fourth Master."

"I understand clearly."

"That's it, let's go first and see you next day."

When Wang Naizeng left, he took Yang Nian's second son, Yang Qinghe, the shopkeeper of "Houyi Hall", and walked out of the Sichuan Association Hall. He got into the Western carriage sent by Wu Jianzhang. When Su Jueming and others helped load their luggage, he went straight to the Citi Concession.

I rushed to the garden villa behind Qichang Foreign Store, and it was already dark.

Wu Jianzhang prepared a large table of food and drinks, and while diligently invited him to the table, he asked with a smile: "Mr. Wang, why don't you stay in Shanghai for a few more days and leave after only four days? This is too hasty."

"Mr. Han is in his errand, so Nazeng dares not stay for a long time."

"Since Mr. Wang must leave, the subordinates can only give him some money and express their feelings."

"Mr. Wu, what are you doing?" Wang Naizeng took a look at the rolls of silver dollars neatly wrapped in oil paper, sat down and smiled, "Before leaving the capital, Mr. Han gave a lot of money, how could Naizeng ask for your money? Besides, you and I met by chance, but also helped me so much in the past few days. No matter what the money said, I can't collect."

"Mr. Wang, this is my kindness."

Wang Naizeng knew very well why he wanted to give silver dollars, because when he left the capital, he brought several decrees about him. The Western artillery ships arrived at Dagukou. The emperor took his anger because Qiying did not do his job well back then. Some princes and ministers did not know whether they wanted to excuse Qiying or dared to offend Qiying's old friends. When the emperor asked, he couldn't tell me one, two, three, and four, so he took out Wu Jianzhang's affairs.

Although the decree was very long, Wang Naiteng remembered the general content clearly.

One of them was reported that Su Song Taidao Wu Jianzhang had been removed, and the thieves were raised. It was said that the thief leader Liu Lichuan had managed the accounts for the road, and the bandits were all practicing bravery. When the first initiation, the road first received the letter and sent his family to the barbarian ships. All the roads had 300,000 to 400,000 silver in stock, all of which were left with the thieves. The thieves were hired to towed ships. The name was donated and actually received compensation for tariffs. An old Guangdong cargo ship arrived in Shanghai and exempted them from paying taxes. The barbarians were dissatisfied and the tariffs were hidden. The sea routes were transported back to their original homes...

One of them was to impeach him and foreigners to open the flag and travel, and the bandits were helped by food, medicine and ammunition. They also met with bandits and bandits repeatedly on the ship, etc. They said that the Shanghai rebels were not destroyed for a long time. The two Englishmen again encountered obstacles. If it were not for Wu Jianzhang Jutong's threat, why would they have gone to the city of Shanghai and could not be recovered?

Some people impeached him and the thief leader Liu Lichuan, and the thief bandits met with the road whenever they arrived on the boat, etc.

The emperor was furious and told Huang Zonghan to send a senior official to Shanghai by doing other business matters. He did not speak out and investigated them one by one according to the various circumstances involved in the article. According to the facts, the official report was not completely untrue... In other words, the emperor sent an imperial envoy to investigate him, and pretended to go to another place to handle the work, but only passed through Shanghai.

When Wu Jianchangzhen was shocked when he saw the decree and just saw the decree from his friend Mr. Huang, he understood what was said in the decree. He really thought that a great disaster was coming.

However, since Han Xiufeng dared to let Wang Naizeng show it to him, it means that he had a solution to it.

After giving Wang Naiteng, who had been a friend of Duan Dazhang for ten years, Wu Jianzhang not only breathed a sigh of relief, but also realized that it was not difficult to deal with the imperial envoy who visited privately. As long as he could grasp his whereabouts in advance, the rest of the matter was easy to deal with. Moreover, the Beijing officials had never seen any world, and they could fool them by giving him three or five thousand taels.

But no matter Han Xiufeng, who was far away in the capital or Wang Naizeng sitting beside him, he never thought of giving it away for free. Seeing his desire to speak but stopping, Wang Naizeng said bluntly: "Mr. Wu, as long as my Dongweng's "little military aircraft" can be stable, I guarantee that you will not have any problems this time and will not have any problems in the future."

"Mr. Xie Wang, I want to thank Mr. Han. If Mr. Han hadn't kept me in mind, if Mr. Wang, you came all the way to report the message, it wouldn't be so easy for me to pass this level. I really might not know how to die!"

"Mr. Wu is so rude. Even if Huang Zonghan finds something, my Dongweng, will try every means to help you clear your grievances when the case arrives in the capital, but it will be very troublesome to go that step." Wang Naizeng didn't want to go around the circle and picked up a piece of fish and said bluntly: "My Wang Naizeng will not ask for your money, and my Dongweng will not want it. As long as Lord Wu, you can help you next."

"How can I help? Even if I want to help Mr. Han, I can't help you!"

"You can help you, and you can summarize it in three things. First, Su Jueming, the new Jiang Customs Assistant Committee member, is the family member of my Dongweng before. If you encounter any trouble, please help as much as possible, it will be convenient."

"This is naturally. As long as I, Wu Jianchang, can't do it."

"Then I thank my Dongweng first," Wang Naizeng bowed and continued: "The second is that my Dongweng wants to borrow a foreign steam boat for two years, and borrow it with the boatman sailors. I wonder if Lord Wu can help think of a solution."

Jiang Customs had purchased one before, but later the official army went to war with foreigners and was seized by foreigners. Now the land charter in the concession has been signed again, and the official army and foreigners have reconciled again, and even attacked and suppressed the rebels entrenched in the city. Wu Jianzhang felt that he could think of a way to get the ship back from the foreigners, and even if he didn't come back, he had to find a way to get one. After all, this was both a life-saving benefactor and a "little military aircraft" to explain.

Seeing that Wu Jianchang also agreed immediately, Wang Naiteng continued: "Then Naiteng will go to Macau, Hong Kong and other places to purchase some things. There are not many people under his command who are familiar with Macau, Hong Kong and other places. Lord Wu is from Guangdong and has worked in the Thirteenth League. I wonder if he can recommend him to Naiteng?"

"I wonder if Mr. Wang wants it now, or is he planning to wait to find it in Macau, Hong Kong and other places?" Wu Jianchang asked subconsciously.

"If you can find the best now, you really have no choice but to ask Lord Wu to write a few letters. When you reach the place, you will take your letters from Lord Wu to visit."

"There are two trustworthy fellow villagers in Shanghai, but I don't know if they want to."

"Mr. Wu, Naizeng feels that as long as you go and talk to them in person, they should be willing." Wang Naizeng smiled and took out a token from his arms.

Looking at the words "Qing Qing Internal Affairs Office" on the token, Wu Jianchang realized that the person in front of him was not just Han Xiufeng's friend, so he hurriedly stood up and said, "Mr. Wang let go, Jianchang will tell them later that they will definitely be willing."

"I'm sorry Lord Wu, so Nai Zenger will take them to Ningbo to visit a friend in the morning and then go south to Macau."

...

At the same time, Han Xiufeng was sitting in Qingxian's public room, considering whether Eun-jun and Datou, who had just become father, have arrived in Tianjin now, and when they can receive people and things from Shanghai.

A few days ago, Wang Naizeng passed on a 100,000-year-old news through the Shanghai semi-colon of "Risenchang". If someone else had already handed over a sign and asked for a visit, he would report it to the emperor, but Han Xiufeng felt that it was inappropriate to report it rashly and had to figure out the whole story of the matter before reporting it.

This calmness and prudence made Qingxian admire him very much. He thought that if the old man could be so cautious and as cautious as Han Xiufeng, he would not have reached this point now.

Seeing Han Xiufeng taking out the translated official document again, Qingxian couldn't help but say, "Fourth Master, Mr. Wang said that the foreigners' concessions have been circulating in the concessions, and even the foreigners' residence newspapers are published. I think this news should not be fake."

"Brother Qingxian, you have never dealt with foreigners, you don't know anything." Han Xiufeng put down the official document and said with a wry smile: "The foreign newspapers are different from our residence newspapers. They are printed and sold for money. So they like to include and publish some horrifying news, so that they are willing to read and pay for them."

"So the foreigners' residences are used to reporting bad news or not?"

"It hits the nail on the head of a foreigner's mansion, but it's not like we like to report good news but not good news." Han Xiufeng paused and then said, "Even if the news is true, let's report it like this. If the emperor asks about Long Quzhi, how can we reply? So we can't be anxious. We must figure out the matter clearly, otherwise we may make a big joke like Sai Shanga. Making a big joke is small, which will affect the court's decision-making big things!"

Thinking that another "small military aircraft" came to visit him in the afternoon, Qingxian reminded: "Fourth Master, Cao Yuying's affairs cannot be delayed anymore. If he continues, he may send someone to report to the official. The emperor knows what you are busy with, but Shuntian Mansion, the infantry commander's yamen and the Wucheng Censorate. If you don't think of a solution quickly, it will definitely cause a lot of controversy. Those censors will definitely impeach you like a flock. However, even if the emperor wants to protect you, he will have to give a statement to the technician."

Han Xiufeng pondered: "I am not afraid of impeachment, but the matter of 'Houyi Hall' cannot be known to everyone."

"Yes, why do we hide it so much? After all, it's not because we are worried about being known to foreigners. It's actually those pedantic Qingliu who really want to be careful."

"It's ironic to think about it."

"So you have to think of a way quickly. You can't let Cao Yuying ruin our affairs, let alone let him ruin the emperor's affairs!" Qingxian thought that "Houyitang" could do a great career, because this was also the only opportunity for him and even his family to turn things around.
