0076 Close you for five days

Without the trouble of the Canal Gang, it is actually very easy to recruit workers in the construction site of the US Concession. Please read the book WwΩWΩ.

There is no protection fee here, which is a very important reason.

If you are working at Sanchakou Wharf, the coolies have to pay the money to the Canal Gang before working. When working on construction sites in the US Concession, they not only do not have to pay the money before working, but after finishing their work, they can also get the wages of the day immediately.

A large number of workers began to flock to the US concession. Li Timothy was surprised to find him no longer had to worry about raising money to go to other places to find laborers at high prices.

Now that Xuan Yuemeng drove away the Canal Gang and captured Zhilin, the Klinsmann Foreign Company is even more short of people.

Xuan Yuemeng, who returned to Zeng’s house, was still just a happy and cute little baby. After playing with Zeng Siping for a while, it was time for Xu Xiangzhi and Hua Yuerong to feed Xuan Yuemeng.

Zeng Siping clamored to have dinner with Xuan Yuemeng, so Mrs. Zeng let Zeng Siping go. Zeng Siping could already eat by himself, holding a small blue-edged flower bowl and eating next to Xuan Yuemeng. Xuan Yuemeng doesn't eat by herself at home. Xuan Xu hugged Xuan Yuemeng and Hua Yuerong fed Mr. Meng. When she was at home, Xuan Yuemeng was a normal young master.

Zeng Jize is back, but today, more than Zeng Jize is back alone.

The one who entered the mansion in front of Zeng Jize was Xuan Hongtao, behind the two were a large group of officials from the Beiyang Yamen, and the last one who came in was Li Hongzhang.

The scene is so big that it's almost time to go to the palace for morning court.

Xuan Yuemeng was very angry. He knew that Li Hongzhang would definitely come to him and asked him to let Zhilin go, but he didn't expect Li Hongzhang to come so quickly.

The Zeng family, who were having dinner here, were frightened, and Mrs. Zeng hurriedly got up.

Xu Xiangzhi also put Xuan Yuemeng down. Young Master Meng pouted, "Wipe my mouth first."

Hua Yuerong was kneeling on the ground. After hearing what Mr. Meng said, she quickly pulled out the handkerchief from her chest and wiped the mouth of her husband.

The cute young master looked at Li Hongzhang and others with a smile.

Li Hongzhang thought to himself: You look like a lively and wealthy young man. How can such a big child come up with a big deal anytime and anywhere?

Xuan Hongtao quickly walked to Xuan Yuemeng, angry and anxious: "You have caused a big disaster! How dare you kill someone? He also arrested Lord Zhilin? Don't you know that Lord Zhilin is the son of Lord Jing Lian? You dare to offend such a great man casually? He is a royal relative!"

Xuan Hongtao said that, then picked up Xuan Yuemeng. Xu Xiangzhi and Hua Yuerong quickly retreated aside. Both of them were shocked. Is the young master murdering someone?

Zeng Siping said curiously: "Yuemeng killed someone? Who did you kill?"

Zeng Jize frowned and quickly asked Mrs. Zeng to take Zeng Siping away. ∫ Please read the book WwΩW∮.

Zeng Jize's voice changed, his father had been in war for a lifetime. Zeng Jize had never led troops to fight, but how could he think that he could start killing people after finding a son-in-law who was less than one year old: "Yuemeng, what's going on? How could you dare to command the killing of people at such a young age?"

Xuan Yuemeng smiled and said, "I didn't command the murder. It was the law of the concession that killed people. If Zhilin didn't beat people in the concession, he would not be arrested. If Zhilin's men did not arrest him, he would not be killed. If he wanted to find him, he should also go to the US consulate. What should he do to me?"

Li Hongzhang touched his beard. The deep little eyes on his fat face stared at Xuan Yuemeng tightly. Li Hongzhang waved his hand and said to the officials except Zeng Jize and Xuan Hongtao: "You all go outside the hall to wait. The headquarters hall will rest here for a while."

Officials: "Yes."

Sheng Xuanhuai stared at Xuan Yuemeng, but he never expected that Xuan Yuemeng had the means of killing at such a young age, so he was secretly alert. However, Sheng Xuanhuai and Li Hongzhang's confidant aides such as Chen Qin in Tianjin Customs were also angry. They were all much more advanced than Xuan Hongtao. Xuan Hongtao, who was secretly jealous of being able to discuss matters with Li Zhongtang, was just a small sixth-rank official. Why?

Li Hongzhang looked calm: "Yuemeng, you are so famous now. Hong Tao, no one knows you when you go out. Next time you will say that you are Xuan Yuemeng's father, and you are sure to know everyone."

Xuan Yuemeng sighed and said to himself that Old Man Li said the truth. "Mr. Zhongtang, it's the junior official who has not disciplined the children well, and it has caused trouble for Zhongtang."

Zeng Jize also smiled awkwardly. "Sir Zhongtang, I'm so worried. Do you still have the heart to joke? This child is really not worry-free. He is less than one year old."

Li Hongzhang smiled and said, "Yes, he is less than one year old, but he is already a director of the Public and Directors Bureau of the US Concession. You haven't seen the guards holding guns at the door several times more than my guards. This show is about to catch up with the prince."

Xuan Yuemeng knew that Li Hongzhang was talking, and she was too lazy to care what Li Hongzhang thought. In Xuan Yuemeng's opinion, Zeng Jize's Zeng family's power is definitely not inferior to him Li Hongzhang. If you, Li Hongzhang, wear a pair of pants with someone like Zhilin, you, Li Hongzhang, are not a good thing! Xuan Yuemeng knew that Zhilin was not curing her death and was unwilling to accept it. This time she wanted to do this to eliminate future troubles!

Zeng Jize frowned: "Yuemeng, how dare you be arrogant in front of Lord Zhongtang? Hurry up and ask someone to pass the message and immediately let Zhilin go. This is what I mean."

Xuan Yuemeng sweats a lot, your little Zeng also put my advice in front of you? A few ****s are so arrogant that they want to break off the engagement? What do you mean?

Xuan Yuemeng narrowed her eyes, smiled slightly, and looked cute and dazed: "Didn't I say everything? It's not my business. There are laws in the concessions, and they are legal places, so I can't control them."

Zeng Jize was angry: "Your child is still talking about official accents here with me? I listen to official accents every day outside, and when I get home, I have to listen to your child's official accents?"

Xuan Yuemeng didn't say anything, her two black eyes were whispering, blinking, like the Beidou in the sky. Please read the book Ww∮WΩ.

Xuan Hongtao was furious: "Yuemeng, why are you ignorant? Li Zhongtang is here! Do you think it's a joke? Why don't you let someone go quickly?"

Seeing that these two fathers were really anxious, Xuan Yuemeng said slowly: "Zhilin may be dead."

Li Hongzhang and Zeng Jize stood up in shock, while Xuan Hongtao sat on the ground in shock! Xuan Hongtao was so scared that his legs were trembling, and he could not stand firmly.

Xuan Yuemeng saw the three people being so angry that they were confused and said with a smile: "I'm just kidding and scared the Lord Zhongtang. Is it okay for the Lord Zhongtang to accompany you first?"

Zeng Jize glanced at Li Hongzhang, and saw Li Hongzhang's face turned pale, and said to Xuan Yuemeng: "You kid, why are you ignorant? Didn't I tell you, don't you interact with foreigners, are you used as a gun by foreigners? How difficult is Li Zhongtang? Is it easy to get caught between foreigners and the court? Why can't you understand it if you do something carefully? Last time you helped the official to supervise the foreign affairs. Li Zhongtang praised you in public. How many days have you been?"

Xuan Yuemeng smiled and said, "Can he Zhilin represent the court? You are not there when Zhilin kidnapped me last time? If I were killed that time, I would not be able to sit here and listen to your scolding today."

Zeng Jize was stunned and speechless by Xuan Yuemeng. Indeed, Xuan Yuemeng was talking about the truth. Zeng Jize is still doing the trick that last time he did.

Xuan Yuemeng said a few words and said the reason for killing Zhilin very well! He said that political and economic matters were personal grudges, which posed a problem for Li Hongzhang. Li Hongzhang's deep eyes were always on Xuan Yuemeng, and he wanted to see clearly. Who was this child who was reincarnated? It was too weird, right?

Xuan Hongtao didn't know what to say. Thinking of Zhilin's kidnapping of Xuan Yuemeng, although Xuan Hongtao believed it too!

Xuan Hongtao hated Zhilin so much, but he still felt that Xuan Yuemeng should not have been so openly against Zhilin! Jing Lian above Zhilin was the power of Prince Gong’s Mansion! Prince Gong’s Mansion was under the two empress dowagers, above ten thousand people, and was invincible in the world! Who can compare today? Even Li Hongzhang counted as a member of that faction.

Li Hongzhang coughed: "Yuemeng, you are still a child. I know you are an extremely smart child, but many things are not about blood-returning blood. If you have been tied, you should be extra careful in the future. There is no need to burn all the ropes together because they are tied up once. Because they can't be burned. Think about it yourself, is it the reason grandpa said?" (Xuan Yuemeng, grandpa, you sister, you just came out with two fathers. You are even more awesome, just come to have a grandpa. You are Zeng Guofan's apprentice, so you should be a peer to Zeng Jize. Where did this grandpa say come from? The relationship is messy.)

Xuan Yuemeng smiled and said, "I know you and Uncle Zeng are doing it for my own good. I will not kill Zhilin. I just play them for two days. After three days, I will definitely let him go. Otherwise, my breath will not be gone. I was just when I grew up and got angry. What should I do if I don't grow up later? The laws of the concession, such as Zhilin, should have been detained for half a month. I listened to Li Zhongtang and reduced it to three days. This is my bottom line. Moreover, last time, the Klinsmann Foreign Company could not find workers, and the construction period was completely stagnant. I believe Lord Li Zhongtang should have heard of it, right? Why didn't I see Lord Zhongtang care about it at that time?"

Li Hongzhang and Zeng Jize looked at each other and never thought that Xuan Yuemeng would have such a high opinion. They were all stunned. Li Hongzhang did not expect that Xuan Yuemeng would instead say that he had not made a name for Clinsmann Foreign Company. The canal helped him to let go everywhere and said that anyone who dared to work in the US concession would kill his whole family. Of course, Li Hongzhang knew that Li Hongzhang never thought that Xuan Yuemeng would work for Clinsmann Foreign Company so much? Li Hongzhang could not guess how many shares Xuan Yuemeng held in this Clinsmann Foreign Company?

However, Zeng Jize knew that what Xuan Yuemeng said was half true and half false. This time he was just looking for a way out, so he stopped saying anything.

Li Hongzhang looked at Xuan Yuemeng for a long time and asked in a deep thought: "Yuemeng, tell me honestly, how many shares do you have in Klinsmann Foreign Company? Is this foreign company very close to you? Didn't you tell me that you are just a general translator?"

Xuan Yuemeng smiled and said, "It's not a very deep relationship, but Mr. Timothy is my friend. If something happened to me, he can help me with it. Of course, I have no choice but to do anything about him. Today, the canal helped the US concession to cause trouble. There was no problem with Zhilin, but since he was a big man, I must have a chance to instigate him! I can't guarantee that he won't have any accidents in the US arrest room."

Zeng Jize heard Xuan Yuemeng say this, and it seemed that his words were wrong. He was scared to death by Xuan Yuemeng and stood up all of a sudden: "Yuemeng, didn't you just say that you would let someone go after being locked up for three days? Don't do it nonsense!"

Xuan Hongtao was also nervous. What is the difference between offending Zhilin and completely offending the Qing court? "Yuemeng, don't embarrass your father-in-law and Li Zhongtang! Don't go to the concession in the future. This is not something that you, a child, can afford to play."

Li Hongzhang coughed, and his heart was already angry. "Yuemeng, I will ask someone to bring a message to the Canal Help. I don't have to worry about recruiting workers in the US concession in the future. As for Zhilin, how long will it take for Ai to be confined, that's your business. I advise you not to hurt Zhilin's hair."

This is the first time Li Hongzhang talked to Xuan Yuemeng, and he was so rude that he had already regarded Xuan Yuemeng as an adult. Xuan Yuemeng was quite happy. He was not afraid of Li Hongzhang, Xuan Yuemeng was not afraid of tigers after a newborn calf, and no one was afraid of now!

Xuan Yuemeng actually had the idea of ​​using Zhilin to destroy Zhilin's martial arts and picking off Zhilin's tendons and feet! Unexpectedly, Li Hongzhang revealed it in one sentence! Xuan Yuemeng was born a calf and was not afraid of tigers. She has never suffered any losses when she came to this world. She is also cruel and decisive, but she doesn't want to miss such a great opportunity to rectify Lin. Now that Li Hongzhang pointed it out, she is quite hesitant.

Zeng Jize looked at Xuan Yuemeng deeply, and felt that his future son-in-law was a monster. After Li Hongzhang reminded him, he also thought that since Xuan Yuemeng knew how to arrest Zhilin, of course, he might be able to release Zhilin half-deadly. "Yuemeng, you can't afford to offend Zhilin. Unless you don't plan to be a person from the Qing Dynasty?"

Xuan Yuemeng was secretly angry, if I kill Zhilin, I can’t be a member of the Qing Dynasty?

Zeng Jize's other sentence shocked Xuan Yuemeng, "Don't you know that Zhilin is the prince? Excluding Jing Lian's relationship, you even plan to mess with the royal family? Although his father-in-law is just a nominal prince, he is a royal relative after all. If you hurt Zhilin, it will hurt the court's face and will never be saved! You survived the disaster last time, be more careful next time, otherwise why don't I stop you from continuing to interact with foreigners? Isn't I just like the foreign guns of foreigners to protect you?"

In fact, Zeng Jize was not afraid that Xuan Yuemeng would capture Zhilin. The officialdom was like a battlefield. Zeng Jize was thinking about Xuan Yuemeng’s future official career, otherwise he would not have been in a hurry to let Xuan Yuemeng take the imperial examination. Zeng Jize wanted Xuan Yuemeng to have a smooth and clear future. In this way, no matter how you cannot touch someone like Zhilin, you can offend, but you must not be hurt.

Zeng Jize's heart-wrenching words touched Xuan Yuemeng very much, "Uncle Zeng, when did I say I would hurt Zhilin? Don't worry, if you don't hurt him, you won't hurt any head."

Li Hongzhang stood up calmly, "Then let it be, Ji Ze, you have more time to pay attention to this matter."

Zeng Jize was very embarrassed and felt that Li Hongzhang had already taken action himself. Xuan Yuemeng didn't let him go immediately, obviously he had wiped out the face of Lord Zhongtang. "Yuemeng, why don't you admit your mistake to Lord Zhongtang? You'd better let Zhilin go immediately?"

Xuan Yuemeng smiled and said, "Mr. Zhongtang won't blame me. Master Zhongtang is a reasonable person. Unlike Zhilin, who kidnapped me, who was here to criticize him. I arrested him, that's open and upright. Who told him to run on the street to fight? Besides, I'm not talking about it all? The concession has laws in the concession, and I'm not the only one who has the final say. You saw it just now. I have to feed people even if I eat. I'm a little kid, what kind of big role can I play?"

Zeng Jize heard that Xuan Yuemeng was still talking about the kidnapping of Zhilin, and there was no evidence of this matter. Xuan Yuemeng didn't talk much about it. Knowing that Xuan Yuemeng was a revenge personality, she smiled bitterly and was too lazy to persuade her again.

Li Hongzhang looked at Xuan Yuemeng deeply again, and finally treated Xuan Yuemeng as an adult. Through this incident, the relationship between Li Hongzhang and Xuan Yuemeng has undergone a qualitative change! People in high positions need tame subordinates, but do not value talents very much. Only those who can tame will have talents, which is naturally the best.

After everyone left, Xuan Hongtao persuaded him for a long time, and said that he would ask Xuan Huang to persuade him. Xuan Yuemeng said that it would be useless for anyone to come. He also told Xuan Hongtao that if he told Xuan Huang about this, he would be angry with him. Xuan Hongtao, who was depressed, had to go back and hide it for Xuan Yuemeng.

Xuan Yuemeng patted her belly and smiled at Xuan Xu and Hua Yuerong, "I'm not full yet, I'll have another bowl of rice!"

Xu Xiangori and Hua Yuerong hurried over and then fed Xuan Yuemeng. Xu Xiangori wanted to ask what was going on, but she didn't ask any questions after all.

Mrs. Zeng was a gossiping mentality, and she pestered Xuan Yuemeng and asked what happened. Xuan Yuemeng casually said a few words, and after eating, she went to play with Zeng Siping.

When several people watched Xuan Yuemeng and Zeng Siping play, they looked innocent and childish, and they all thought this child was too magical.

Xuan Yuemeng said that it was three days, and finally it was five days and five nights! He had never eaten a drop of water or a grain of rice for Zhilin. He also kept using cold and hot water to alarm Zhilin tied to the stake, preventing Zhilin from sleeping. If Zhilin had not had a deep skill, if he had become an ordinary person, he would have been hungry! However, even if Zhilin was still hungry and had internal energy, it would take at least one or two years to adjust. Martial arts masters can not eat for several days, but they cannot ignore water. Drinking water and sleeping are the two most urgent items needed by the human body. (To be continued.)
