C668 Business Action (2/2)

Suddenly, all sorts of merchants were gathered in Ryukyu. The air of wealth on the streets was enough to cause one to fall flat on their knees, and a strange case that occurred last June further solidified the confidence of the Jiangnan merchants.

On June 10, Shanghai Road Station's Chen Qiyuan sent troops to intercept the Satin Cargo Cargo Cargo Cargo Cargo of the Liu family in the Yangtze River, and found two hundred thousand yuan worth of tobacco soil in the cabin. The Liu family was charged with the crime of smuggling of the tobacco soil.

Shanghai Road would interrogate the seven shopkeepers in the Liu Family, but neither would she interrogate them. She would only be locked up in her cell for the rest of her days, and if the Liu Family went to interrogate them, they would use the fact that they were investigating as an excuse.

The Liu family knew that this was an excuse from the Dao Tai to bribe them.

In the end, he didn't expect that giving away the silver would result in a crime, so why did Chen Qiyuan reprimand him for bribing the innocent in anger? This is even more proof that your Liu family is unforgivable in their smuggling of tobacco.

This time, he was going to be tortured. The shopkeeper and the Liu family's young master were beaten into a bloody mess. He knew that the Liu family had almost broken down their family and only then did they find out the truth.

It turned out that not only did the Dao Tai have his eyes on the Liu Family's money, he also had his eyes on the eldest son's wife.

The Grand Preceptor of the Liu family died in grief and indignation. Before his death, he shouted three times for being wronged and died with grievances.

The Liu family was not the mega-merchant of Jiangnan, and their family's property was no more than one million eight hundred thousand. In the eyes of the Dao Tai, such a merchant was but a small ant, and even if he were crushed to death, he would only be known by the people in a city.

So what if his reputation was bad? After getting the silver, he left the place loudly. At other places, he was still the lord of the Qing government.

The message from the late Qing was sent very late, the local officials were 90% certain that they would not spread it. Many middle-class families were exterminated, and even the neighboring prefectures and counties might not know about it, so the local officials were very daring at that time.

Generally speaking, the Liu Family's grievances would not be spread out, the dust was real, the bribes were real, the Dao Tai's punishment was too severe, who could blame your family for dying from illness?

At the end of June, there was a battleship with the Ryukyu Royal Flag and the ”Xiao” character on it. It was the Roman that was seized, and under the command of Sima Yun and, the battleship forcefully broke into the four hundred new troops and charged into the Great Qing Empire's land.

The soldiers of the Qing Dynasty were scared crazy, the new army of the Ryukyu was already a myth in their hearts, even the foreign people were not their opponents, how could they resist? If the capital was lost, how could a small Shanghai defend itself?

There was no resistance at all. Among the two blue torrents, one went to the rented area to negotiate with the foreigners, while the other went straight to the Dao Tai Yamen and trapped the smoking Dao Tai Lord on his bed.

”With a share of the Jiangnan Liu family's silk business, what rights does the Shanghai Road have to punish the assets of our Ryukyu? The silver you took from the Liu Family is worth a large portion of our Letian Firm, how dare you … ”

”Prime Minister's order, the interests of the merchants of the Ryukyu are sacred and inviolable. Even if it is to be judged, we Ryukyu will have to judge it …” ”Now, you better let them go obediently!”

Just as Lin's bayonet rushed into the Dao Tai Palace, the smoking Dao Tai immediately peed his pants. The Colt in Luo Huo's hands struck at the head of the Grand Master, and the Rat Elder immediately kneeled on the ground, answering any questions.

The mature and steady Sima Yun blocked the entrance to the rent area. The one facing him was the English and French officer who reprimanded him for being harsh on his words, but in exchange, he received Sima Yun's smile and replied with a proficient English.

”My dear friends, we are here to protect our friends. Shanghai Road robbed the property of the Ryukyu, so of course we want to seek justice. Please be assured Master Yang, this is the internal affairs of the Chinese people, it will absolutely not harm your interests …”

Many of the soldiers behind Sima Yun were European Expeditionary forces, and some of them even teased him in English, ”Hey …” Friend on the other side, are you French? I've been to the Besanthus, and I've even tasted your French wine, but I'm sorry, we didn't pay … ”

French soldiers's nose was crooked. The fight at the Fa Li border was a humiliation to France, and these despicable Chinese people had thrown salt on their wounds.

However, a loss was a loss. Xiao Letian's new army was extremely famous in Europe, and their combat power had already reached the pinnacle of the world. They hoped that the police and soldiers in Shanghai would not be their match.

Four hours later, the new army started to retreat. They took away all the Liu family members in the cell, as well as witnesses and testimony. The new army did not apprehend Lord Dao Tai.

Luo Huo patted the Dao Tai Lord's face and said, ”Go home and listen. Don't forget that the king is by the side of the prime minister.

The new army was not met with any resistance. They marched through the city, boarded a warship, and left Shanghai. Three days later, the whole of Jiangnan exploded.
