A common tavern that connects all fantasy worlds

If Luo Sanpao's subordinates are still hundreds or even thousands, and even he can't count them, then these anesthetics are definitely not enough; but after the water police team led by Ma Rulong last time, the large pirate force has been wiped out. The remaining people may not be enough to drive a ship, and it won't take long to recite them one by one... Let's start with the two idiots who tried to assassinate him at the award ceremony.

When Ma Rulong returned to the Marine Police Building, he was greeted by the upright Hong Tianci and Zhuo Yifei who had been waiting impatiently for a long time.

The fat man said, "I said, two police officers, if you have nothing to do, can you let me go? I still have to earn money to live."

Hong Tianci joked, "No way, isn't our police canteen not to your liking? Tell the chef earlier, Tai Bao, ask the chef to make him an extra meal for the prisoners."

"Oh, you are running on me."

Zhuo Yifei shook his head helplessly, just as he saw Ma Rulong rushing in from the outside, he stood up and asked, "What do you mean? Where is Luo Sanpao?"

Ma Rulong immediately turned around and looked around, seeing that no one else heard him, he breathed a sigh of relief and scolded him in a low voice: "Can't you be stricter with your mouth?"

"If I hadn't been strict with my mouth, you would have been caught by the ghost and stood at attention long ago."

Zhuo Yifei complained, and was grabbed by Ma Rulong and walked into the depths of the room. The three of them put their heads together, and Ma Rulong said in a low voice: "I should also tell you... the three of us went to fight together that day. Luo Sanpao, in the end he twisted me and fell into the side corridor. In fact, it's not just the corridor..."

He tried his best to use simple words to summarize the things he had encountered in recent days, and said specifically: "... If we don't go to Luo Sanpao, it will be difficult to do anything against Baoshun foreign company from our standpoint. Our immediate boss, Those ghosts, they don't care about the life and death of the Chinese; on the contrary, Baoshun & Co. is one of the biggest sources of income for the British. What I found out is that even the Governor of Hong Kong has Baoshun and Jardine's shares."

Hong Tianci thought for a while and asked: "We can't rely on us alone, but listen to you, there are still those future omnipotent people in the tavern, can't they be called to uproot Bao Shunxing? Even if they want to destroy Britain directly and return Hong Kong to China, it is not impossible, right?"

Zhuo Yifei, who is a person in the world, was much calmer, shook his head and replied: "What is the difference between you and praying to God? Let alone why people want to help you, even if they really come to help you, one day you will still Will we return to our own world? But here, Hong Kong can’t leave, China can’t leave, and the [-] million Chinese people can’t leave. If we don’t live up to our expectations, one day there will be British, French, chicken people, ducks The Chinese still want to come back.”

Ma Rulong patted him on the shoulder and said in agreement: "Yes, we must solve this matter. Don't rush to do it yet. I have already asked Luo Sanpao for their inside information and codes in Baoshun Foreign Bank. Let's Let’s try to sneak in first, and find out how much money Bao Shunxing has done in the tobacco business.”

"That's what Luo Sanpao told you?"

"Of course not... In the future, the pirates we catch will not be shot or hanged, but sent to him." Ma Rulong said, "...But I think it's worth it. For our convenience, I went to the tavern specially Borrowed something nice... going to try it now."

The two pirates who assassinated him stayed in prison for a long time, and finally waited for Ma Rulong's interrogation.

In the interrogation room, one of the two pirates was handcuffed to a chair, facing the incandescent light that almost blinded his eyes, squinting his eyes and cursing continuously.

Ma Rulong and Hong Tianci already had a lot of experience in interrogation, but they just hid in the shadow behind the lamp without saying a word, and only showed their faces from behind the lamp when the two pirates were tired of cursing.

"Do you have any accomplices in Hong Kong? Where are they?" Ma Rulong asked first.

The pirate took a sip and said with a sneer, "You're out of your mind, Ma Rulong? Feel free to use any tricks. If I blink my eyes, I'll take your last name!"

Hong Tianci winked at Ma Rulong, and deliberately said: "Aaron, I heard that you have learned some tricks from the north recently."

Ma Rulong reacted quickly, and when he heard what he said, he smiled coldly, took out a towel, and replied: "Yes, I heard that it is the unique skill of Yongzheng in the Qing Dynasty who knows how to stick sticks. If you don't want to recruit people, you have to recruit them. But I haven't tried it yet, I don't know if it will be too hard. Let me tie this towel on their faces first..."

The pirate uttered harsh words just now, and did not intend to give in. He gritted his teeth and watched Ma Rulong walk over, pressing the towel board on his face.

"Isn't he going to pour water on it, so that I can't breathe?" The pirate immediately thought, and quickly took a few breaths, not even noticing the slightly sweet and slightly sweet pungent smell on the towel.

But the more he inhaled, the more he felt that something was wrong. Why was his head getting heavier and heavier?

Before he could come up with an answer with his slowing mind, he fell back and fell to the ground with a thud.

Chapter 14 Partitions Have Ears

For a well-known reason, neither Ma Rulong nor Hong Tianci could carry out the task of "infiltrating into Baoshun".

Considering the strict confidentiality required for this matter, there is only the last person left...

Just as Ma Rulong transported the unconscious pirate to another world through the tavern, Zhuo Yifei also changed into tattered clothes and embarked on the road to Baoshun Foreign Company.

At this time, he was wearing a blindfold on one eye, and the eyelid of the other eye was also drooped. His face was full of fierceness, and he looked like a completely different person.

In order to pretend to be a bit more like, he also deliberately picked a deserted beach, went to the sea to soak for a while, and added a setting of "just swum to Hong Kong" for himself.

He Zhuo Yifei has been in this industry for so many years, but he has never left enough grounds to get revenge or be caught by the police, all because of his "transformation technique".To be specific, he has been in the market since he was a child, and he has seen a lot of people he should meet and should not meet, and he is very familiar with the characteristics of these people, so no matter what line of work he is dressed in, he looks very similar.

At this time, he has obviously entered the role of a "pirate", picking some roads that others will not pay attention to, hiding in the shadow of buildings all the way, shuttling through dark and deserted alleys, and finally came to Baoshun nearby.

He took a long breath, climbed up the largest tree nearby while no one was around, tied three red cloth belts on the branch facing east, and then squatted down in a nearby alley.

Not long after, the back door of the foreign firm was pushed open with a creak, and a submissive man in a suit jacket and glasses came out.

The man went under the tree, climbed up and untied the cloth belt, stood there for a while, then walked eastward into the alley, slowed down, and imitated the puffin's "coo-coo" sound as he walked, He also looked around warily.

As soon as he reached the entrance of the alley, he saw Zhuo Yifei flashing out from behind a pillar and blocking him.

The man looked up and down a few times, and asked cautiously: "Your Majesty blocked my way, what is your intention?"

Zhuo Yifei answered according to Ma Rulong's question from Luo Sanpao: "...I'm here to ask Mr. for three glasses of wine."

The man also immediately interjected: "Your honor is such a hero, don't you still need my three glasses of wine?"

"Now there are things that are not missing, and there are things that are missing."

"Dare to ask what is not missing? What is missing?"

"What is not missing is the full moon wine from birth and the dead head wine from the yamen; what is missing is the brother wine from the stern and the longevity incense from the bow."

The man listened to Zhuo Yifei's fluent answers, and he already believed it [-]% to [-]%.Seeing that there were no one else on the left or right, he leaned his head again and said in a low voice, "Above is the sky, and below is the earth spirit."

"Three cannons are firing together, and the world will be peaceful." Zhuo Yifei quickly faced him.

The man immediately hugged Zhuo Yifei's arm. Seeing that he was still wet and looked tired, he comforted him, "Brother is suffering. Which team are you from? Why did you come from the sea today?"

Zhuo Yifei's nonsense came out immediately: "Ashamed, ashamed, I usually watch the prison on the island. That day the marine police came in, knocked me out first, and let the group of ghosts go out. When I wake up, The island was also bombed, and the boat was gone. These days I eat raw fish, drink dew, and swim to Hong Kong with dead wood. In order to swim to Hong Kong, I almost soaked in the water La."

The man looked at his figure again, and patted him on the back: "It's okay, you can rest assured, brother. Now Erchuan's 'Hu Xurong' is hiding in Baoshunhang, and the water police will never dare Search the business of foreigners, as long as you don't go out, you will be safe and have food and drink."

Zhuo Yifei knew what was going on in his heart, but in order to maintain his personality, he just asked again: "...Why, can't you go out?"

The man led him to the back door of the foreign company first, and called him to listen to him on the way, explaining: "Two days ago, two brothers from Sanchuan went out, and bumped into Ma Rulong, who was promoted, and was arrested. The newspaper said that the two of them attacked the police in public... Brother, you must sit still, now that the third brother is gone, we have no leader, and it is not appropriate to provoke someone surnamed Ma at this time."

"Brother, don't worry, I know a lot, and I will never go out of Baoshunxing." Zhuo Yifei quickly patted his chest to assure.

The man then led Zhuo Yifei into the foreign company, first took him to change his clothes, he looked like a dog, and then led him to the counter in front of the foreign company, and registered under a pseudonym as "warehouse". Guards", and finally took him to the warehouse, where he met "Beard Rong" and the other two surviving pirates.

Zhuo Yifei didn't even wait for the introduction, so he rushed forward and called himself "big brother", calling himself the younger brother, and chatted with everyone with smiles on his face within a short while, as if he had blended in.

It's just that he always has to keep in mind that he came in to investigate Baoshun Foreign Company's tobacco sales, not to befriend the pirates.

As it was getting late, a few pirates set up bedding in the warehouse, and they all fell asleep. Only then did Zhuo Yifei open his eyes, and quietly walked out of the room.

Today, not only did he walk around Yangyang outside for a long time, the "insider" also took him around after he came in. He paid attention at that time, and he was already familiar with the internal structure of Baoshunxing, so he jumped out of the corridor window in the dark , climbing up the drain pipe like a sensitive fat civet cat.

Baoshun Foreign Trade Co., Ltd. is a small three-story building, which is located on the corner of the street as a whole. The front facade and one side facade are facing the street; rear side.

The first floor in front is the lobby and the counter. Needless to say, accountants, managers and other business personnel of foreign companies who do not need to work in the lobby work on the third floor, and they usually don't live here at night.

Because business secrets are of great importance, the third floor is guarded at night, and the guards are still British soldiers with official status.Even the seemingly powerful "inside line" was not allowed to enter. If Zhuo Yifei wanted to find records or evidence, he had to climb from the outside to the top of the building under the cover of night, and then look for an opportunity to pry open the window to get in.

At this time, he covered his face, took off his shoes, and slowly climbed up relying solely on the strength of his hands and feet.Fortunately, the buildings of foreigners in this era have complicated wall decorations, such as decorative columns, ceiling trim strips, wall carvings, etc., which makes him a thief who flies over the walls and walks on the walls.

While struggling to adjust his movements, trying not to make too much noise, Zhuo Yifei couldn't help complaining in his heart.

"Hey, Ma Rulong, the two of us have played together since we were young, and the benefits have always been yours, but I've done the dirty work. For your sake, I'm going to go into the tiger's den alone..."

But he wanted to return to his thoughts, but his subordinates were not slow, and within a few minutes they climbed to the top of the building and turned over.For some unknown reason, this Western-style house does not have sloping roofs or tiles. The roof of the foreign house is a flat ground, with only a few drainage outlets around it, connecting pipes to the lowest floor.

After confirming the position again, Zhuo Yifei bent down and walked towards the other side.

A few more minutes later, he slid down from the roof by pulling a rope, pulled out a dagger to pry open a certain window, and slipped in quietly.

Of course, he couldn't turn on the lamp in this kind of action, he had to turn his head to cover the window, took out a fire pocket from his pocket, and after blowing it up, he searched the house with the faint light.

His positioning was very accurate, he was coming to the office of the ghost "manager" of the foreign company, in front of the leather sofa with his back against the bookcase, and on the desk, there was a pile of documents neatly placed.

Zhuo Yifei tiptoed over, flipped through carefully, and suddenly found a problem: he couldn't understand foreign language.

"Oh, I'll give you a lung, why did you forget about this!"

He felt remorseful and wanted to slap himself on the forehead. Why didn't a few people think of it when they planned it before?

At this moment, footsteps could be heard outside the door, Zhuo Yifei closed the fire cover vigilantly, jumped out of the window, grabbed the rope, turned around and squatted on the waistline of the outer wall next to him.

There was only a creak in the room, the door was opened, the lights were turned on, and there was the sound of rattling and leather shoes stepping on the floor.

"Why is the window open?"

To Zhuo Yifei's surprise, the person who spoke first was speaking Chinese, and his words were correct and round, not like the weird accent of ghosts.

"Maybe I forgot to close it when I left. This room is very stuffy, and I always open the window for ventilation."

The one who answered that voice was undoubtedly an English ghost.

The two people in the room never thought that someone was squatting outside the window, and of course they didn't intend to close the window, they just sat down, lit their cigarettes, and smoked in silence.

After a while, another person opened the door and came in, apologizing as soon as he entered the door: "Sorry, I can't refuse the entertainment, I'm late."

"Mr. Mai is busy."

The Chinese who was the first to speak out said politely, exchanged some pleasantries, and then got straight to the point: "What did the Governor say?"

Mr. Mai replied: "Your Excellency, Baoshun Foreign Firm, likes you very much, and we were happy to cooperate with you before... However, once the tobacco soil is exported and imported, only the tax is paid twice. The Governor, he has neither political achievements nor real benefits. How can he be satisfied? You don’t need to mention taxes or anything, the customs are not in the hands of you British people.”

"That's no problem. Our foreign firm intends to continue to operate this business for a long time." The ghost also said, "If the governor can make it easier, this business can provide the governor's mansion with 5000 taels of 'filial piety' every year."

But Mr. Mai said slowly: "It's not a joke to assign the land to you. If the Holy Majesty finds out, all the heads of our Governor's Mansion will have to move. If you have money, you have to spend it, right?"

Gui Lao replied again: "On the surface, it will not be Bao Shunxing who comes forward, but this good man, Mr. Dadi Advocate, who paid a high price to buy the landlord's land."

Mr. Zhang, the first Chinese person who came in, also smiled jokingly: "The price is really high. In the past few years, there has been a severe drought, and the local turtles in Guangdong are almost starving to death. Instead of holding the land in their hands, it is better to switch to major foreign companies." tradable shares, moved to Hong Kong to lie down and make money.”

Mr. Mai was clearly interested. After thinking about it for a while, he said to the two of them: "This plan is very clever. If you two have a detailed plan, I might as well pass it on to the governor."

"Well, Mr. Mai, please stay in Hong Kong for two days, and we will naturally submit a plan."

Several people chatted and laughed, chatted about irrelevant topics for a while and then walked out. Zhuo Yifei who was outside the window put down his hand covering his mouth.

This is not acceptable, Aaron and the others must be notified!

Chapter 15

Early the next morning, Ma Rulong rushed into the Marine Police Building with a piece of crumpled paper.

Hong Tianci had been waiting here for a long time, seeing that he finally came, he hurried up to meet him and asked, "Any news?"

"Yes, the fat man risked his life to eavesdrop on it last night... In the early hours of the morning, he found a little brother who sells newspapers and passed me the news."

"Then this kid is pretty smart." Hong Tianci nodded subconsciously.

Ma Rulong glanced at him and explained: "Fatty and I grew up together, our parents are long gone, we grew up hanging out on the street, and we always hang out with brothers of the same age...then there are no more My father and mother's child was also taken by us to make a living. This newspaper seller child is like other children, and Fatty and I watched him grow up."

There was no time to elaborate on the other things at this time, the two hurried into the office and spread out the piece of paper that Zhuo Yifei sent out.

I saw that it was written with bamboo charcoal: "The Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi colluded with Baoshun and talked about land enclosure. The details will be known in a few days."

Hong Tianci knew the situation in China and the world very well. When he saw this sentence, he knew what was going on after thinking about it for a while. He couldn't help but slapped the table, so angry that his eyes were tearing apart, and he cried out in a low voice, " Good thief!"

"What?" Ma Rulong asked, who hadn't reacted yet.

"...Bao Shunhang is definitely going to seize farmland in Guangdong and Guangxi to grow poppies. Only in this way does the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi need to participate. It seems that the smoke and soil on the wharf is just a small business. The upper class in Guangdong and Guangxi build up relationships and grow cigarettes in the local enclosure, which is nothing but huge profits!"

Hong Tianci dug out a map of China officially published by the United Kingdom from the cabinet, pointed to the Guangdong and Guangxi parts and explained to Ma Rulong: "According to British statistics, there are 800 million mu of arable land in Guangdong, and more than [-] million mu of arable land in Guangxi." mu.

"If these arable lands fall into the hands of foreign companies and all of them are planted with tobacco, then they will have enough shipments to control the tobacco and soil trade in the entire southeast, and it will be easy to make money.

"Not only that, but now the whole country is suffering from severe drought. If the arable land in Guangdong and Guangxi is occupied again, the Chinese will have no food to eat!"

Ma Rulong was also angry when he heard this, and couldn't help cursing: "These foreign devils brought warships here, occupied Hong Kong, and prevented the Chinese from banning smoking. They destroyed the Chinese people's bodies, plundered their wealth, and destroyed their will. Let us subjugate the country and exterminate our species, and make us their slaves."

Hong Tianci gave a wry smile, and pointed to the uniforms on the two: "Aren't you and I their slaves now?"

The two looked at each other and sighed together.

After being silent for a while, Ma Rulong calmed down, first kicked a trash can, lit a fire and burned the information that Zhuo Yifei risked his life to convey in the bucket, so that no one else would know, and then said to Hong Tianci: "This matter You know and I know... No matter what, we must not let Baoshun foreign firm succeed."

Hong Tianci nodded and replied: "Naturally, but we are only Chinese policemen in Hong Kong. We can't control Guangdong, Guangxi, or the British; we can't disturb the ghosts, that is, we can't use the brothers under our hands. What are you going to do?"

[61. No. 61]

Ma Rulong knocked on the table unconsciously with his knuckles, frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "The situation is unknown now, so we can't act rashly. We have to find a way to connect with Zhuo Yifei and ask him to find out more details... He said 'the details will be known in a few days', which should be the meaning. But he has already entered Baoshunxing, how can we contact him?"

Hong Tianci also stroked his chin and thought for a while, then suddenly his eyes lit up, and he said, "I have a solution for this, just wait for my good news."

Not long after, Hong Tianci went to the office building of the Army Police and asked to see his uncle, Assistant Qi.

Deputy Qi had just finished a meeting with his boss. Although the pirates had been wiped out recently, there was a lot of chaos on the streets of Hong Kong, which also made him, a land policeman, very anxious.

At the meeting just now, he also suggested that since Sanpao Island has been destroyed, there is no need to maintain such a large-scale marine police. Can the funds for the marine police be allocated to the land police?

Of course, Deputy Shi of the Marine Police couldn't hear this, and had a big fight with him, and the two of them were driven back by their superiors, each full of anger.

In fact, he didn't mean to look down on the marine police, or deliberately find fault. It's really that the British gave too little money, and the brothers didn't even have any weapons at hand. Could it be possible to maintain law and order with rattan badges and batons?The marine police have completed their historical mission, so it’s okay to turn them all into land police, right?

While Deputy Qi was thinking about this, he suddenly heard the news that his nephew, Hong Tianci, a first-class elite in the army police, came to visit. He immediately calmed down and asked him to come in and talk.

After Hong Tianci came in, he saluted first, and made his uncle wave his hands impatiently.
