After hearing this, everyone was silent. After a while, Xu Chang said, "Old Zeng, is this what overseas Chinese mean?"

Zeng Fuxiang said: "Didn't I just say it? This time I came here has nothing to do with overseas Chinese, it's just a little heartfelt statement. You have made mistakes before, so you must not make mistakes again and again. It's still time to stop now, otherwise I'm afraid it's too late to regret it."

Na Wu said: "Mr. Zeng, you know that I run a tobacco shop. If I listen to overseas Chinese, then wouldn't my business be impossible? Are you asking me to drink the northwest wind?"

Zhao Pinghe also said: "Mr. Zeng, I rely solely on land to do grain business. If I follow the 'land reform' of overseas Chinese, I have to collect all my land. Wouldn't this be called bankrupt? So this is absolutely not allowed."

Zeng Fuxiang waved his hand and said, "What I don't know about what you said, but now it is an overseas Chinese. Can you twist overseas Chinese? According to the instructions of overseas Chinese, although there will be great losses, you can always save your lives. Could it be that you all want to end up like An Luotang? Just say you two, then Wu, it's not me that the business you do is a bad thing. It's okay if you don't do it. And you have made a lot of money over the years. Why don't you take this opportunity to switch careers and do other business?" He turned to Zhao Pinghe and said, "The same is true for you. Who can't twist our little arms? You are all old households in Jinan, with many friends and a wide path. Even if you change careers and do other businesses, it won't be too bad. Moreover, with the assets of both of you, even if you don't do anything, it's enough for your son to live a lifetime."

Zhao Pinghe seemed to want to say something, but opened his mouth but didn't say a word, but Wu stopped doing it and said loudly: "Why! Why! I have sold big opium in Jinan for 20 years. Why do overseas Chinese come? I am not allowed to do this business? There is no law for overseas Chinese. They asked me to close my business, but I will not find a job. I will open a tobacco shop tomorrow. See what the overseas Chinese can do to me. Anyway, I have this bad life. See if overseas Chinese dare to deal with Anluotang, and kill me."

Xu Chang hurriedly said, "Master Wu, Mr. Wu, have something to say, aren't you discussing?" He knew that Wu didn't have much stuff in his stomach and was unsatisfied with his words. He was afraid that what he said would offend Zeng Fuxiang, so he kept stealing Wu's words. But Wu's words just now actually meant to blame Zeng Fuxiang, so he hurried to smooth things over.

Zeng Fuxiang was not surprised. He knew what his personality was. He just acted like a bannerman and was cheating in Jinan because of his identity as a bannerman. Local officials in the past were too lazy to pay attention to and had never met any evil people. But Zeng Fuxiang knew that this trick could not be played with in front of overseas Chinese.

However, all the words said were said, and Zeng Fuxiang was considered to be the ultimate righteousness. Therefore, Zeng Fuxiang also stood up and said, "Okay, my words are all over this. Whether you listen or not depends on your own determination. I just hope that you will do your own things, but don't mislead yourself and say goodbye."

After Zeng Fuxiang left, Na Wu couldn't help but curse: "This old guy must have suffered some benefits from overseas Chinese and came here to scare us. I don't believe that overseas Chinese really have such courage to ban opium in Jinan City."

He shouted alone for a while, but no one responded, and couldn't help but feel a little discouraged, saying, "What's wrong with you? To say something, what does this mean? Are you planning to listen to the old guy and surrender to overseas Chinese?"

After a while, someone said, "Everyone, if there is nothing else to say, I want to say goodbye first."

Wu glared and said, "What? Are you trying to run away?"

The man said, "Why did you want to run away? It's just that we are here to discuss solutions to overseas Chinese. Now we can't discuss any results. Why don't we stay here if we don't leave?"

Zhao Pinghe hurriedly said, "Don't be busy leaving first. I have a way to go. I heard that the court has started from Xi'an and is going to return to Beijing. It will arrive in Baoding in about a month. We might as well write to the court jointly to sue overseas Chinese for taking counter-independence in Jinan and endangering the localities. What do you think?"

Xu Chang also nodded and said, "I have heard that the court has returned to Beijing. This is a feasible strategy. However, when I write a letter, I have to find someone with good writing skills to write, and I have to write a lot; and there must be a lot of people in joint names, so that overseas Chinese are angry with each other in Jinan; the other is that they need to clear the money."

Wu Yi slapped his thigh and said, "Okay, isn't it just for money? I'll pay 50,000, but you can worry about writing articles."

At this time, the other people's spirit was a little bit excited. After all, this was still a feasible path and the only feasible path for the gentry. So everyone immediately discussed it. Of course, some people who wrote the articles were not a problem. It is estimated that most gentry would sign and leave the whole matter to Xu Chang and Zhao Pinghe people to handle it. The money was also smooth, because these people were rich, so Wu took the lead in giving out 50,000 taels of silver. Others followed up and raised 150,000 taels of silver at once. Of course, they would definitely not be able to get the money out now. Everyone agreed to raise the money at the next party.

However, it took a month to arrive at Zhengding Prefecture. In addition, the activity and the time for the court to make decisions will take at least two months. What should I do in these two months? No one mentioned it, as if he had forgotten it.

After everyone left, Nawu drank a few glasses of wine. At this time, the manager asked him that he had received a notice of closure from overseas Chinese today, and whether the four tobacco shops under his name would still be open tomorrow.

When Wu heard this, he couldn't help but be furious, slammed the table and said, "What business is there? All tobacco shops will always be opened tomorrow. I think what can overseas Chinese do to me? If overseas Chinese really seal my tobacco shop, I will go to the lobby of the prefect, and then go to the governor's office."

After sending the company over, Na Wu drank a few more glasses of wine until he got drunk and returned to the bedroom to rest.

The next morning, before Na Wu got up, the family in charge rushed over, woke Na Wu up, and said, "Master, the big thing is wrong. All four tobacco shops in our family have been sealed off by overseas Chinese, and the people in the tobacco shops have been arrested by overseas Chinese."

Originally, the remaining wine of the country had not yet dissipated and was a little sleepy. After hearing the words of the manager, he suddenly lost his sleep and said, "The overseas Chinese are so bullying that they actually bullied the master, and went to scream all the guards and brought the guys with them. I'll fight with them, see how they do to me?"

Although Nawu is not a member of the gang, he also worked on the street when he was young. Moreover, the opium business was profitable and there were many jealous people. The identity of the bannerman could only make Nawu live on formal occasions, but in informal occasions, it depends on who has a strong fist. However, opium brought huge wealth to Nawu, so he could spend a lot of money to hire martial artists, coaches, and training thugs in the hospital. Now Nawu has 5 martial artists and more than 40 thugs in the hospital. He is usually responsible for maintaining the order and safety of the gambling hall, and is also responsible for escorting and receiving goods.

After the Wu got dressed, more than 30 thugs of the yard had already stood in line in the yard, each holding swords and guns, waiting for the Wu to give orders. The Wu nodded and said, "Okay, you all listen to me. Overseas Chinese have bullied me. I won't teach them a lesson this time. I really thought I was a good time. I usually have delicious food and drinks, good wine and good food for you. Now it's time to use yours. When I see overseas Chinese, I will beat me hard. If something happens, I will take care of it. Those who work hard will reward 100 taels of silver."

After hearing this, the martial arts thugs all cheered. The wu grabbed a knife and said, "Let's go."

The group came to a tobacco house closest to the Wu family. From a distance, you could see that the doors and windows of the tobacco courtyard were closed with cross seals. There were also a team of policemen and soldiers with live ammunition guarding outside the door. Many people were watching the fun. When they saw that the Wu and his group came, they hurriedly hid, but many people followed behind and waited to watch the show.

When Wu saw that his tobacco shop was blocked, he immediately became jealous and shouted: "Go up, take the gambling shop back." He immediately led the martial arts guards to rush forward. When the soldiers guarding the door of the gambling shop saw it, they immediately raised their rifles and said sternly: "Who are you? Stop immediately, otherwise we will shoot."

But that Wu was a little sturdy, or heartless, and didn't listen to that trick at all. He shouted, "Go, come on, let me go." As he said that, he pulled out his waist knife and rushed forward first.

Before the soldiers could move, several policemen holding police batons in hand rushed up. Wu cut the rattan on the rattan. Before he could hold the knife, he had been hit hard on his left shoulder. Before he could recover, he had been hit several times behind his back, abdomen and arms. The continuous huge pain made him unable to hold the knife, and he was knocked to the ground and screamed like a pig.

I don’t know how many sticks he got, but Wu Zao had no power to resist and was caught from the ground by several policemen and tied up with a rope. Then Wu saw that the martial artists he brought with him were standing more than 3 meters away and he couldn’t move, and the guys in his hands were hanging down.

When Wu saw this, he couldn't help but be furious. He struggled a lot, almost broke free from the police, and shouted: "Why are you bastards watching while watching? Come and save the master..."

But before he finished speaking, a policeman shouted, "Stop talking nonsense, be honest." As he said that, he raised the stick and hit his lower abdomen twice. The man screamed in pain, his whole body shrank into a ball, leaving only a big breath, and he couldn't say a word.
