In the hall of the Jiangzhu Gang, as Jiang Tao was willing to accept the loss, he handed over the freight terminal to Li Weiguo, the major gangs who came to see the fun and made fun of each other, leaving only a few core members of the Jiangzhu Gang.

"Gang Master, that kid is too arrogant. If you don't give us the face of Jiangzhu Gang, you can tell me that I'll bring someone else's head back." A middle-aged man said, with a strong face on his face and a great position in Jiangzhu Gang.

"Don't act irritable! That boy, let's not touch him for the time being!" Jiang Tao shook his head and said he would stop him.

"Are the gang leader afraid of him? Isn't it just a fake foreign devil? Even if the real foreign devil came back then, he still let the eldest brother kill him so much that he cried and called him mom!" The man named the third man asked in confusion.

"What do you know about third brother?" A middle-aged scholar dressed up next to him snorted coldly and said, "That foreign devil was just a victory, but he could only show off his might in the sea. I have never seen them dare to enter the inland of the Yangtze River in recent years. Our gang leader knew many naval generals, so how could he be afraid of the foreign devil? The reason why the gang leader did not touch that kid was that there were too many gangs in our Jiangzhu Gang today and there were too many people and talkative people. After all, we lost. We should not be despised. Second, the kid was very bold and did not take the court seriously at all. He said that he planned to rebel and would not accuse him. Because of this, I think the gang leader might think that this kid had something to do with heaven and earth. We can't care about the foreign devils, but we can't offend the celestial being."

"The second brother can see through and know my intentions!" Jiang Tao forced a smile. No matter what, he lost face today and lost the fat piece of the freight terminal, which has a great blow to the morale and property of the Jiangzhu Gang.

"So that's it!" The old man understood, but said unhappily: "But that kid is too arrogant. He may not be able to sleep or eat without venting this anger."

Jiang Tao also gritted his teeth, but he sneered gloomyly: "Of course I won't let him live a good life. There is a batch of goods in the dock warehouse. The real owner of the goods is from the Tiandihui Fire Hall. The second brother, please go there and arrange for people to secretly transport the goods away, and then let the people from the Tiandihui go to settle the accounts with Li Weiguo."

The scholar named the second child also smiled sinisterly: "It's still a gang leader who is powerful. He thought of a trick to kill two birds with one stone so quickly!"

The third brother asked, "Why didn't I understand? Why did you kill two birds with one stone?"

Seeing that the second brother deliberately grasped it and smiled without saying a word, Jiang Tao shook his head with a wry smile and explained to the third brother: "The goods in the dock warehouse are all insured. If they are damaged or lost, we will have to compensate our Jiangzhu Gang. Now the dock is under the name of Li Weiguo. Once the goods in the warehouse are lost, Li Weiguo will have to compensate. He just got the dock, and the personnel were not in time to replace them, so it is easy for us to start. That batch of goods are from the Tiandihui Fire Hall, and they are all weapons. It is very important for our Jiangzhu Gang to expand its power. We splashed dirty water on Li Weiguo and let the people from the Tiandihui come forward to kill him, so that others would not suspect me."

The second brother couldn't help but say, "If Li Weiguo was not from the Tiandihui, he would definitely be hacked to death by the Tiandihui people, and we would take the opportunity to take it back to the dock. If he were from the Tiandihui, he would not escape punishment. The Tiandihui would be shameless. Even if he suspected it on us, there would be no evidence and he could not do anything to us."

"So that's the case. The leader and second brother are still good. I feel ashamed of myself, the third brother!" The third brother scratched his head and said honestly.

Jiang Tao laughed and said, "The third brother doesn't have to underestimate himself. Although your wisdom and strategy are inferior to the two of us, your skills are better than the two of us. Our three brothers complement each other's advantages. In the future, we will only dominate the Jinling realm."

"No further ado, I'll do it now!"

The second brother got up and left the hall. Not long after, the third brother also got up and left: "Then I'll go to the dock to avoid these little bastards making trouble and ruining the gang leader's big trouble."

"Okay, go and be careful!" Jiang Tao nodded, and was slightly more kind to the honest third brother than to the second brother.

However, what he didn't know was that when the third brother turned around and left, the most stupid and inconspicuous third brother, at this moment, had a strange color flashed in his eyes and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

This is a hidden master.

~~~~~~

Li Weiguo only named the dock, and the actual operation was handled by the British business groups from the concession.

After returning from Jiangzhu Gang, Li Weiguo hid in the church gate and did not go out. John asked him the reason, but Li Weiguo only replied that he was afraid of Jiang Tao's revenge.

Of course, John believed it. After all, Li Weiguo was only twelve years old and lacked self-protection ability. He suggested that Li Weiguo leave for the British Concession in Shanghai. After all, he has been appointed as the counselor of the British Embassy in China. But Li Weiguo deliberately refused to let go, so he had no choice but to ask him for leave from the embassy.

Only Li Weiguo himself understood that he was bargaining with the British Embassy.

Although he was a little arrogant, as a son, Li Weiguo had to bite the bullet and rescue his father first, and this could only be done by the British Embassy.

When John's letter was placed on the desk of Sir Bao Ling, the British diplomat who had just taken office, was very happy because the task he received before leaving Britain was to further open up the Qing market, and Li Weiguo helped John get a freight terminal in Jiangning, which was undoubtedly a very good start.

Originally, Sir Bao Ling was also skeptical about Li Weiguo's role as the embassy counselor. After all, he gave such an important position to an Oriental man at once, and he himself took a great risk, thinking that the other party was not competent, and wanted to deliberately make things difficult for him to give him this difficult task, but unexpectedly he completed it quickly.

"You're satisfied now!"

Sir Wenhan, who was sitting opposite Sir Bao Ling, smiled and said, "He was the former Minister to China and just stepped down a month ago. It was because he knew very well about the Qing Dynasty that he suggested that Sir Bao Ling reuse Li Weiguo."

"This Li Weiguo is indeed very capable!" Bao Ling nodded, then looked down, and his face darkened.

Sir Wenhan looked at the words and said, "What's wrong?"

Sir Bao Ling snorted coldly and said, "Just as soon as he praised him for being very capable, he was a little bitch! He deliberately stayed in Jiangning and refused to leave, saying that he was worried that the Jiangzhu Gang would take revenge on him. Major John couldn't see this trick, and it was obvious that our embassy would give him benefits."

Sir Wenhan laughed and said, "The benefits he wants are for him. After all, talent is rare. With him here, it will be helpful to our British Empire's future activities in the Qing Dynasty."

Sir Bao Ling smiled bitterly and said, "You said it lightly! Do you know what the benefits he really wants?"

"What else can be there?" Sir Wenhan smiled and said, "Didn't John say that his father was wrongly imprisoned. He hoped that our British Empire could come forward to bail his father. This was just a small task for us."

"Yes! I've been here for almost a month and haven't contacted the senior officials of the Qing Dynasty. They are so arrogant. It's time to hit them and remind them not to forget the 'trade war' ten years ago. The British Empire's strong ships and cannons are not vegetarians!" Sir Bao Ling paused and said, "Then let the Qing government release Li Weiguo's father, sell him a favor, and let him serve the empire well!"

Sir Wenhan smiled and said, "You are a newcomer, and you should indeed give the Qing government a warning. There is a saying here that new officials take office three fires. You can burn them a few times to make them have a better memory!"

After saying that, the two looked at each other and laughed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In the church, Pastor Fedan was preaching, so Li Weiguo naturally had to attend. He was very low-key and chose to sit in an area without people every time.

Unfortunately, Shen’s eldest daughter Chen Ziyan is also a believer. Every time she comes in, she sits in the side row behind Li Weiguo every time, and you only need to be slightly tilted to see her.

Li Weiguo looked sideways and saw that she was still wearing snow-white clothes, with her hands tied to her chest, and praying quietly, like a beautiful and holy little angel, peerless and independent.

She always chooses to sit next to me. Could it be that she still likes me?

But we have never met before, and we are not so handsome that women can't forget the situation that they have to agree with each other after a glance. It is probably not reasonable to have a marriage just by having a marriage.

Li Weiguo kept speculating in his heart that he could not guess what Miss Shen Shen thought, but instead did not dare to look back at her. I wonder if it was because of guilt. In short, after I learned from my mother that day that he had been married to Chen Ziyan, this feeling arises.

It's guilt!

Li Weiguo thought this in his heart, but he always felt that the back of his head was cold, as if there was a gaze looking at him.

I couldn't help but glance behind me again. There was no one else except Chen Ziyan, and Chen Ziyan was still praying with a calm face, without any abnormality.

It must be because of her own psychology, her eyes are obviously invisible.

Yes, it was because she thought too much and she couldn't see me at all, it must be her own illusion.

Can't see me! Can't see me!

Li Weiguo kept comforting himself. He was a little confused and decided not to come for a week in the future to avoid embarrassing each other when encountering Chen Ziyan.

But what Li Weiguo didn't notice was that when he turned his head, the corner of Chen Ziyan's mouth suddenly raised slightly, revealing a mysterious smile that was not easy to be noticed.

Not long after, John hurried in and called Li Weiguo out.

"What happened? It depends on you being anxious!" Li Weiguo asked deliberately calmly, but in fact he was very nervous. After all, John is a major soldier, and things that can make him nervous are probably not a good thing.

"There was an accident at the terminal, the warehouse was stolen, and many of the goods placed there were lost by customers." John said in distress.

"We will not be stolen sooner or later, but we just built the dock and were stolen. Needless to say, it must be made by the Jiangzhu Gang." Li Weiguo snorted coldly, decisively inferred the main messenger, and then asked again: "How much did you lose? Do you have to pay a lot of money?"

John smiled bitterly and said, "I guess it was the one from the Jiangzhu Gang who was doing it, but unfortunately there is no evidence. We can compensate the goods from other families, and there is not much money. Only one of them is smuggled weapons. Although there are only a few thousand weapons such as swords, they don't want money, just those weapons. I sent someone to inquire about what kind of Tiandihui the owner is. If we don't return those weapons within three days, we will kill us!"

"Heaven and Earth? How could it be them?" Li Weiguo's eyebrows jumped up, very surprised.

"This world will be so singular. Why are they very powerful?" John asked immediately when he saw Li Weiguo's exaggerated expression.

"It's not just amazing?" Li Weiguo said with a wry smile. The Heaven and Earth Association is a Pang Dang organization. It has been spread all over the world since the end of the Ming Dynasty and has continued to the modern era. The righteous underworld. The Heaven and Earth Association is now based on the slogan of anti-Qing and restoring the Ming Dynasty, and ordering the thirty-one states to rebel every few times. Who dares to offend?
