C3517 Threatening the British Consul

The silver was blackened by the smoke and stained red by blood. When the gunfire stopped, the slaughter scene shocked everyone. Many of the elderly recalled the bloody scene when they were trying to grow their fur.

After the battle, a total of eighteen corpses of French assassins were found. The last one that fell into Huangpu River was not retrieved by anyone. Nineteen French assassins were wiped out.

There were four British assassins, all senior patrolmen in the British Concession, one killed and three seriously injured.

Just as Ling Mutai and the rest wanted to judge these criminals, the British Consul of Shanghai, Bu Fuer, brought the British sailors and snatched away the bodies of the three heavily injured and the one who died.

"We have extraterritorial jurisdiction over the crimes committed by the British in the Kingdom of Qing. They can only be tried by us!"

The old shopkeeper pointed at the bloodstains on the ground and the corpses of the Qing Nation's citizens in disorder, "You want to try me? Who will be responsible for the lives of us Chinese! "

Bu Fuer arrogantly said, "I am very regretful that such a thing has happened. The British side will give a certain amount of compensation to the victims, but the majority should still come from the French Concession!"

"With all due respect, it is not appropriate for you to display these silver and works of art so arrogantly … Didn't you see that the French tenants had already protested? "

"So far, there has not been a single official in the French concession who attended the welcoming ceremony... It's you guys who brought him down, so you should think twice about it! "

The Chinese people on scene were enraged, the crowd started to clamor, the families of the dead started to crowd forward,'s marines also started pressing forward with killing intent.

"What do you want? You dare to threaten British Empire? "Soldiers, protect our citizens!"

, who was acting tough on the outside but was weak on the inside, shouted loudly, "We have extraterritorial jurisdiction over this treaty between the Great Qing and us, do you dare to admit it?"

"Huangpu River has a warship from our British Empire. If you dare to attack our land, we will blast the entire Shanghai with our cannons!"

"Step back, I want to see who dares to steal my man!" "Who dares to be rash!"

Just as the atmosphere became extremely tense, a Buddhist chant suddenly came from behind the crowd, "Amitabha!" The crowd immediately moved away, and a monk wearing a green and grey monk's uniform walked out.

"Consul Bu Fuer, please ask your soldiers to put down their bayonets. Would you be willing to chat with me, a family member …"

"Sakamoto Ryoma?" Everyone present knew him, even the British people had his information.

Since ancient times, humans had always been respectful towards religious people. Seeing that the Dragon Servant Monk had appeared, Bu Fuer quickly went to find a way out.

"Yes, Mr. Longma, you can come over …" "Make way!"

Sakamoto Ryoma walked into the Englishman's defensive circle and looked at the injured man, shaking her head: "Bandage him first, be careful or the blood will dry up!"

"Consul Bu Fuer, I will cut to the chase here, your British Concession must apologize for what happened today …" Without waiting for Bu Fuer to protest, Sakamoto Ryoma lowered his voice and snorted.

"Humph!" You can put aside your arrogance, you can put on airs in front of any Asian nation, but don't be arrogant in front of the Chinese people! "

"Why do you look so ugly? Even I want to be threatened? "

"Yes, the British Empire is very powerful. Let alone the Chinese, even if all the strength of all the countries in East Asia combined, they would still not be a match for you!"

"But you seem to have forgotten that we are not going to fight against the British Empire at all. We can smash all of our hatred onto your, Bu Fuer's, head!"

"You!" Bu Fuer's face immediately turned pale white.

"Hehehe …" Don't you think that the Head of the Guards was treated so well in Britain? Do you think that Benjamin's downfall does not have the power of the Head of the Guards? "

"The Queen could give the Führer the Royal Palace to live in... The entire circle of nobility in London has nothing to do with the political stars, but the Chinese race? "

"Don't challenge our dignity. We have plenty of ways to deal with you …" not against British Empire! "

"We can use the relationship between your political enemies to impeach you. We will accuse you of embezzlement, adultery, and selling out our country's secrets … We will pay a lot of money to buy off your allies and make you a loner in British politics! "

"Believe me, we can do it! "Forgive me for being blunt, but a diplomat of your level doesn't seem to be qualified to have afternoon tea with the Queen."

"If that's the case, then what are you so arrogant for? What do you have to be arrogant for? "Tell me …"

Bu Fuer's legs were trembling, he never thought that a religious person would actually be so shameless, the next move was unbeatable.

Xiao Letian doesn't have the ability to kill British Empire, but he has the ability to kill a British politician like you! You can't even stand being splashed with dirty water!

"God... Oh God... No wonder people said that you had Xiao Letian's blood on you … You are a monster like him, a monster! "

"What do you want?" Bu Fuer was so frightened that he looked like a little girl who had just met a hooligan.

"Hehe, it's nothing. Tomorrow, I want to see your public apology in the newspaper. You can take away these three assassins …" But since they've killed so many Chinese, the death penalty is inevitable! "

"If we are to openly shoot at Huangpu River, you better let us off!"

"You don't need to worry about the French reparations. All the victims today will receive compensation of one hundred pounds each, and the injured will receive twenty pounds each!"

"Just these three conditions! I didn't violate extraterritorial jurisdiction, did I? I will let you judge yourself, so can't you say these words yourself? "

Bu Fuer did not have any leeway to bargain. He thought about it carefully, that his political future was still the most important, everything else could be discussed!

Sakamoto Ryoma who had just reached an oral agreement walked back to his side: "Ling Mutai!"

Clap, Foreign Legion Ling Mutai bowed respectfully and performed a military salute. One must know that all the officers of Fu Sang, who were at Ling Mutai's level, knew of that secret.

When the leader was not around, Sakamoto Ryoma could use the Foreign Legion's military power of two divisions, which meant that Sakamoto Ryoma had the military power, and was the commander of the Foreign Legion, only second to the leader!

"Ling Mutai will follow Master's instructions!"

"Disperse the troops and let the British go... "Soldiers, don't get involved in diplomatic disputes!"

"Yes!" Everyone spread out and let the British go back to the tenancy! "

The whole conflict was resolved just like that. No matter how indignant the people present were, with the decision of the Chinese troops, no one dared to object.

Immediately after, the officials of Shanghai Road began to clean up the scene. The results were out that night, and this attack caused a total of 54 casualties among the Chinese civilians.

That night, old shopkeeper Fan Lian invited Ling Mutai, who had returned to his own country, as well as other senior officials, including Sakamoto Ryoma, to the banquet at the bank building.

After a few cups of wine, old shopkeeper's eyes filled with tears, "Only today do I know that it was not easy for my young master! This bunch of Frenchmen are really troublesome. They are really powerful rivals! "

Ling Mutai drank a few more cups as he described everything that he saw in France.

"Terrifying. That is a country where nationalism is completely brainwashed. Everyone is armed!"
