Myth: Heaven and Earth

Chapter 138 Killing on the Beach
Lu Ding stood in front of the Yuyingtang, staring fixedly at the turbulent public sentiment, he waited.Waiting for the venerable people he invited to witness this to come out.

The reporter was called by him.

Yamen is also the official he reported to.

Tonight, there will be a tsunami in Shanghai.Lu Ding knew very well that what Lu Heng was going to do was a big deal.Pulling out all the churches in Shanghai violates the interests of all foreigners.

We must take the lead in gaining the upper hand in public opinion and morality, and hold the sentiments of the entire Shanghai public, in order to make foreigners helpless.

It's not that foreigners are afraid of the people in Shanghai, but that foreigners rely on the people in Shanghai to make money.For foreigners, money is the most important thing.Therefore, if the public indignation in Shanghai is aroused, there will be strikes and market strikes, then foreigners will suffer heavy losses.

Only in this way can foreigners be forced to swallow this fruit.

This night, Shanghai was restless.

From the eve of darkness, starting from the Liu Family's Infant Hall outside the British Concession, there was a man who single-handedly killed the whole of Shanghai!Even if the foreigners who got the news were prepared, even if the troops were dispatched from the concession, they were ignored by him!

Churches were smashed into ruins by the fists of flesh and blood, and all priests and clergy were killed.

At the same time, hundreds of troops were also killed in the concession!

Shanghai is shocked!

Regardless of foreigners, regardless of the government, regardless of gangs, those who know are shocked that such a feat was done by one person!
The guns of foreigners are no match for his flesh and blood; the prestige of foreigners has been stepped into the cesspit by him!
The superficial reputation that foreigners have rarely managed has been knocked out of the dust.

The Liu family became famous all over the world again!Many people think of the old events in Danyang ten years ago!
People found the bodies of the members of the Liu family from the ruins of the Liu residence, spit, cursed, and even trampled them into a pulp!Someone erected a stele overnight, and erected a stele that will last forever in the ruins of the willow house!

In the middle of the night, the tragic news of the babies in the Liujia Yuyingtang and other ten or so church-affiliated Yuyingtang spread throughout the magic city. People spontaneously gathered and marched angrily on the street.

The government is trembling, and the foreigners are helpless.

The ocean of the people!
At this time, Lu Ding was already in front of another destroyed church. At this time, there was a majestic old man beside Lu Ding.

Seeing the surrounding residents and spontaneously taking out the surviving babies from the nursery behind the church, watching the sisters sent by Lin Heier to take over these children, watching the people crying and burying the bodies of the dead babies, Lu Ding sighed endlessly.

The majestic old man couldn't help swallowing.

He said, "Is this all done by one person?"

Lu Dingdao: "With Master Xu's eyes and ears, he should have gotten the news long ago."

The old man was silent for a moment, then took a deep breath: "Such a person is really scary."

Lu Ding smiled and said: "It's terrible, it's for those who have lost their conscience."

He said: "It's just right, I know this person. Originally, he planned to visit Mr. Xu tonight, but because he discovered the crimes in the Yogyakarta, his attention was temporarily diverted."

"Huh?!" Xu Baoshan was startled: "Why did my nephew say that?"

Lu Ding lightly said a few words, talking about today's events, saying that he is temporarily staying in Lu's mansion.

Xu Baoshan smacked his mouth: "It's a chivalrous nephew, good luck, to be able to meet him, I'm envious of this old man."

Then he said: "Since it is a strange man's request, how dare I, Xu Baoshan, refuse to obey? Please tell this strange man, my nephew, as long as the cloth and ready-made clothing shops are in the Jianghuai area in the future, I, Xu Baoshan, will take care of them without any carelessness." .”

Then he said in a low voice: "Nephew, your father and I are old acquaintances and have always had a good relationship. Could you introduce me a little bit?"

In the middle of the night, the director of the Public Concession Industry Bureau, Andersen, invited other directors to hold a meeting overnight.

This so-called Ministry of Industry Bureau is the product of a compromise between the interests of the great powers when they seized the interests of China and various conflicts arose.

China is a vast land with hundreds of millions of people. Although they are poor and ignorant, they contain huge benefits.All countries want to eat meat, let other countries drink soup, and even want to eat meat and soup.

However, it is impossible to do it with the strength of one country.Not only can this huge land not be swallowed in one bite, but various stumbling blocks in other countries are also the reason.

And so the Ministry of Industry and Commerce was born.

The heads of the big powers in Shanghai are all directors of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, and the head of England, which is in full swing, is the general director, and this is Andersen.

The responsibilities of the Bureau of the Ministry of Industry are firstly the division of interests; at the meeting of the Bureau of the Ministry of Industry, they will discuss the grabbing and dividing of the interests of China, who has more and who has less, and who will eat which piece, which is determined in advance to avoid unnecessary conflicts.

If a conflict has arisen, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce will be responsible for mediation.

Such a big event happened tonight, and while Andersen was angry, he was also shocked by it.So he quickly called other directors to discuss the matter and make a resolution.

"Very good." Andersen saw everyone present: "I never knew that the meeting of the board of directors was so smooth. This is the first time."

He knocked on the table: "I think everyone knows what happened tonight. So, how should we face it? There is a man who killed Shanghai, destroyed our church, and killed our priest." , but also to pour dirty water on us, then, shall we teach him a lesson?"

"Mr. Director, I think before teaching him a lesson, it's best to make sure that he doesn't come to teach us a lesson." Director Deutsche said with a blank expression, "I heard that the elite army of the British Empire lost hundreds of people first. , Under the guns, that person completed all this with his bare hands within 3 minutes. This is an extremely terrifying existence. So when discussing against him, I hope to be more cautious. I don’t want to wake up one morning, my The head is hanging elsewhere."

As soon as he spoke here, several directors couldn't help but nodded.

Andersen spread his hands: "Well, I think you are right. Your worry is also my worry. This is indeed a terrifying existence."

He paused: "I don't know if you have any other news about him, I know some."

He said: "This person used to be in the capital of the Qing Dynasty. We all know that the ruler of the Qing Dynasty, the Empress Dowager Cixi, is dead. Although she kept it a secret, she did not mourn. But maybe you don't know that the Empress Dowager Cixi did not die of illness or old age. It was this man who killed him."

After saying this, there were a few directors who were old gods, and they obviously knew the inside story; but a few didn't know, and they were all surprised.

A director said: "We all know how powerful that old lady is. During the Second Opium War, we sent an extraordinary force to the capital of the Qing Dynasty to assassinate the emperor of the Qing Dynasty in an attempt to break the will of the Qing Dynasty to resist. Although the Qing Dynasty did give up They resisted, but those who went to the capital of the Qing Dynasty to assassinate their emperors failed to return. And the one who killed them was the Empress Dowager Cixi, who was still one of the emperor's concubines at that time."

"After this incident happened, the Transcendents in the headquarters changed their faces when they heard about the Qing Dynasty. Almost no one dared to lightly say that they would come to the Qing Dynasty to make money again."

"Tonight, the man who destroyed our church, killed our soldiers and priests, he killed the Empress Dowager Cixi, who made our superhumans turn pale. I don't think the concession is safer than the Forbidden City. There is no transcendent protection. Warships and artillery cannot be carried in one's arms, and machine guns and rifles cannot harm him."

"So, treat it with caution. It's a beautiful virtue."

At this time, the American director continued: "Everyone, I think we may have overlooked one thing. It is about those babies. Tomorrow's newspapers must be full of remarks criticizing us, which will have a negative impact on our interests in China. Huge damage. Our army is still fighting in the north, and has not yet obtained the established benefits; once these two things are linked, the Qing people will be angry; You will lose a lot of money.”

He said: "Unless we are willing to take the loss; otherwise we have no reason to deal with him - because what happened tonight originated from those babies. To deal with him, we can only deal with it secretly, never with a big fanfare. We can only shirk the responsibility To the 'false priests' who 'do not obey the morals of the church', dig a firebreak before the dirty water spreads to everyone."

"Besides, we even have to praise him. Say he's a Zorro-like hero."

"Let the public calm down first to avoid causing more losses. As for dealing with this person, I think we will find opportunities later."

This is the result of their final negotiation.

So the newspapers belonging to foreigners that were published early the next morning were full of such remarks-they denounced those "false priests who did not abide by church morals", angrily denounced the act of mutilating babies, and highly praised the warrior, praising him for saving It broke the morality of mankind and saved countless lives.

On the other hand, the local newspapers are full of rants and accusations against the churches involved in the mutilation of babies last night and the local tyrants with ulterior motives who opened the nursery, and spread to the entire foreign missionary system, and even The burning of churches by the Boxers in the north, the Danyang missionary case ten years ago, and the earlier Tianjin missionary case have all been uncovered.

Even, it began to be directly related to the invasion of the Eight-Power Allied Forces in the north.

The public sentiment is turbulent.

At this time, Lu Heng was having breakfast in Lu Mansion.

He and Lu Ding were having breakfast, and there was a man with a blue nose and swollen eyes standing in front of the dining table.

This person is Feng Jingyao, the leader of the Green Gang in the French Concession, who was also the one Lu Ding asked to find Lin Hei'er, but Lin Hei'er found him back.

The bruises on his face were the marks left by Lin Heier's beating and torture.

He came here today in the name of apologizing for his bad work, but in fact he was entrusted by Xu Baoshan, the leader of the Youth Gang, to come to see Lu Heng.

Lu Heng gulped down the boiling hot gruel in one breath, and Lu Ding, who was looking at it, shook his eyelids—this is the porridge just out of the pot, the kind that will bubble up when it touches his mouth.

Before he even moved his mouth, Lu Heng had already finished eating.

Lu Heng put down his chopsticks, and his eyes fell on the respectful Feng Jingyao: "What do you want to say?"

Although Feng Jingyao is only a middle-level member of the Green Gang, he witnessed Lu Heng's brutality last night - several churches near the French Concession and in the Concession were overturned.

It's this guy!
How violent!

The Frenchmen lined up with guns, machine guns swept randomly, and he ignored them; he chopped melons and vegetables and killed dozens of Frenchmen, and the terrified Frenchmen surrendered in droves.

Feng Jingyao witnessed it with his own eyes.

Xu Baoshan asked him to come, he was happy; because he could meet such a character among the gods and have the opportunity to make friends; but he was also apprehensive.It would be bad if people were not satisfied.

He knew that he took a bargain.Because of his close relationship with Lu Ding's family, Xu Baoshan sent him here.Otherwise, how could such a big green gang get his turn?
