C3858

The small courtyard fell into a deathly silence, Ge Deng's forehead started sweating, he had met his true opponent!

In the evening, Chenberger's visit could only be said to be a little shocking for Ge Deng, but now that Li Hongzhang had come to visit, that was the time to see the truth!

had Li Hongzhang's black material in his hands, and Li Hongzhang had also held many of Ge Deng's secrets!

But now, Li Hongzhang had already understood the situation. Everything that I have done has been secretly approved of by court, including the Suzhou's massacre of all prisoners, as well as my drowning of Bai Qiwen, disbanding of Chang Sheng Jun … Wait!

As for robbing the citizens, corruption and bribery … those were nothing compared to the crime of killing a prisoner in a city!

If Ge Deng had a showdown with Li Hongzhang, the secrets in his hands would probably be completely useless. He couldn't even think of tripping over this Grand Marshal who had such a heavy army!

However, the secret in Li Hongzhang's hands was enough to discredit Ge Deng!

Neither of them are Idiot. Li Hongzhang will be the first one to find trouble with the huge amount of wealth that you, Ge Deng, have plundered!

How many silver were still being fabricated by Li Hongzhang? He just let them all know that it would be one million, and two million for him would be two million!

Anyway, robbing in the middle of a war was not a clear matter!

It had to be known that a lot of Veteran s worked in the Huai Jun, and in the past few years, they had already been subdued by Li Hongzhang, so wouldn't there be a confession for whatever they want?

Right! You, Ge Deng, are not afraid of the Great Qing Kingdom's laws. Of course, you don't have to worry about the laws of the UK!

After all, you did not rob the property of the citizens of UK, nor did you take bribes from them!

But do you want a reputation? After your property is exposed, will you encounter the greed of other Politicians? A man's wealth is his own fault! If those ruthless black hand people in the political arena of the UK knew that you, Ge Deng, have two million silver worth of black coins, would they come to cause trouble for you?

Half of the meeting had to be done, right? But you only looted eight hundred thousand! Allowing Li Hongzhang to advertise himself as being worth two or three million was enough to give Ge Deng a headache!

Never let it end up selling off your family property!

Money is just the first step of Li Hongzhang's threat, the second way is to expose your secret of killing Bai Qiwen!

You, Ge Deng, are an accomplice. Don't think that you are some righteous gentleman!

You could have clearly warned Bai Qiwen, but you didn't remind him. You even intentionally lured Bai Qiwen into jumping into the trap from the side!

In order to seize control of the Chang Sheng Jun, you could say that you cooperated with Li Hongzhang and killed Bai Qiwen!

"Ge Deng, oh Ge Deng! Do you think I didn't interrogate Bai Qiwen before killing him? He was obviously sent to the Japan by the USA's embassy, why did he have to go there in the end? "

"Weird!" Who gave Bai Qiwen the idea to run towards the Fujian? That is the year 1865 of your Western Calendar! The Counterfeit King Li Shixian of the Fujian, had long been reduced to ashes in the wind, causing Zuo Jigao and I to almost jump into the ocean! "

"This is a sure loss, why does Bai Qiwen have to charge in? Is he a stupid dog? Or is someone trying to trick him into doing it? "

"Hehe, Ge Deng, for the sake of stealing Hua Er and Bai Qiwen's silver, you didn't even hesitate to borrow a knife to kill people … I will use my blade to kill off your creditors, what a vicious heart you have! "

"You …" Ge Deng was so angry that his body started to tremble, "This is slander! "You slander …"

"Forget it, forget it!" I am too lazy to bother about these things, it doesn't matter if I help you get rid of a stupid dog, since this Bai Qiwen is just a stupid Kid!

"It's a pity that he didn't even live to the age of thirty and was killed by us old foxes!"

"I don't care if you earn money, I, Li Hongzhang am not so stingy …" To be honest, I told you to take away so many silver, I also want to leave a good karma so that we can meet again in the future! "

"I have already found out who the envoy you sent to Japan to meet with Bai Qiwen is. Before Bai Qiwen died, he had already told me his confession!"

"Do you want me to show it to the embassy of USA? Let Americans know how you, Ge Deng, kill their citizens! "

"You …" Ge Deng's face was as ugly as a ghost, today, he finally experienced the power of Li Hongzhang!

"Li Hongzhang... You are very, very powerful, and indeed, you are able to pull out a group of Team s from within the current Qing Kingdom to become a duke of a region, but you are not some ordinary powerful people! "

"But do you really think you can threaten me like this? Even if you reveal all of this to the public, will you be able to trip me over? "

"To tell you the truth, if you reveal these secrets, I won't be punished other than to damage my reputation and make myself infamous!"

"British Government will still protect me. It doesn't matter even if he causes trouble for me!"

"Do you know why? Because everything I have done is the same as yours, and I have a Government supporting me from behind! "

"Hahaha …" Your face changed. Did you not expect it? "

"The existence of the Chang Sheng Jun involves many different interests, I think you can guess as well. It is not in Empire's interest for Americans Hua Er and Bai Qiwen to control this group of Army!"

"Everything I do is to protect the interests of the British Empire! We are also competing with the USA! "

"So you're saying that you can't use Bai Qiwen's death to blackmail me, I'm not afraid!"

Li Hongzhang did not expect Ge Deng to still have to counterattack at this point. It was clearly a loss, or a fight to the death!

"Not bad! He was indeed the son of a military influential family. He would never be defeated! Good good good... But in the end, didn't you still submit to me? "

"If you take away my nine hundred and ninety thousand Silver, wouldn't you be disbanding the entire Chang Sheng Jun? you must have received quite a bit of scolding from the London! "

Ge Deng stubbornly looked at Li Hongzhang. "While it is true that disbanding the Chang Sheng Jun would make some of their eagles angry, many of the moderate school would approve of my actions!"

"Not all Member of Parliament are war maniacs! To be able to make money peacefully is the way to go! "

Hahaha … Li Hongzhang laughed, "Interesting, now that the conversation has reached this stage, let's just say that we have a complete conversation." Since you have revealed your trump card, why are you still bickering? "

"You've made it clear! Although the Herba Euphorbiae wishes for you to lead the army, but most of the Official s in the hall are against you touching the Army! "

"How about we reach an agreement today? "You promised never to get involved with military power, but we don't object to you doing other things!"

"In the end, you are just accompanying the Your Majesty in building factories, doing foreign affairs, coordinating overseas relations and the like … We will definitely not interfere with any of this, how about we go our separate ways? "

Speaking of which, how could Ge Deng do anything about it? He let out a long sigh. Do you think that you are worthy of the Your Majesty by doing this? He is a Kaiser of the Great Qing Kingdom! "

Li Hongzhang's face also became bitter. He silently drank the leftover wine in his cup and sighed as he said. "Eastern Politics is very complicated. You don't really understand it …"

"Come, cheers! We're still good colleagues in the future!"
