Myth: Heaven and Earth

Chapter 153 Fang Tian
When Lu Heng returned to Xu Baoshan's mansion, it was only four o'clock in the afternoon, and the evening had not yet arrived.

Seeing Lu Heng returning, Xu Baoshan hurriedly flattered him: "Mr. Lu is very predictive, and foreigners are really quick to respond."

Lu Heng said: "Oh?"

Xu Baoshan said: "The imperial court has sent a telegram and appointed a middleman. I have already met him, and I will be able to meet with you tonight."

Lu Heng understood and nodded: "Who is the person appointed by the Qing court to be the middleman with foreigners?"

Xu Baoshan said: "After all, the imperial court is far away in Beijing and Tianjin, and it will not be able to send the central officials for a while. Mr. Lu's matter is important and urgent, so he had to send a general who just went south to Shanghai to meet with Mr. Lu."

Lu Heng said with a smile: "I don't care if you are a senior or not. You just need to be a sounding board."

Xu Baoshan said: "Mr. Lu is grand."

After deliberating for a while, he said, "A friend of mine also sent me a telegram saying that an old acquaintance of Mr. Lu will be sent to Shanghai to mediate this matter."

"Oh?" Lu Heng turned around and said, "Your so-called friend is Yuan Gongbao?"

Xu Baoshan's expression shook slightly: "Mr. Lu's candle shines for thousands of miles."

Lu Heng waved his hand: "There is no one else who can meddle in the mediation of this matter; and I have old acquaintances, I am in the capital, and Jin Quan is the only one. Jin Quan is Yuan Gongbao's staff. If your friend is not Yuan Gongbao, who is it?" ?”

At this time, Lu Heng was quite disdainful.

The Qing court appointed someone, and Yuan Gongbao came to meddle in it again. Lu Heng can see clearly the truth in it at a glance.

It's nothing more than "grabbing merit"-let's say it is grabbing merit-but this merit is in front of foreigners.

From the past contact and understanding with Yuan Gongbao, Lu Heng knew Yuan Gongbao's plan well.

He wants to be the big man of the era who can support the sky and take over the Qing dynasty.

Foreigners are very important to Yuan Gongbao - he must please them, so that when he takes over, the foreigners will not make trouble for him.

So this time, if he managed to mediate this matter successfully and gain face in front of foreigners, it would undoubtedly be a great thing for him.

Then, the middleman appointed by the court is an obstacle.

He has a friendship with Xu Baoshan, so this matter happened.

For Lu Heng, it doesn't matter at all.He only needs the foreigners to bow their heads and give in - to sign a satisfactory contract, that's enough.

As for which middleman is doing the mediation, it's doing Lu Heng's shit.

Xu Baoshan was sincerely convinced: "Mr. is super intelligent."

Then he said: "I think Yuan Gongbao thinks too much. He said that the general Yan Xiaoguo appointed by the imperial court is a foolish and loyal person, and may do bad things. But I have met this person once, and he is quite eye-catching."

Said: "However, Mr. Lu, such a big incident has happened now, and all parties, both Chinese and foreign, are trying to calm it down. But Yan Xiaoguo has something here, and I have to explain it to Mr. "

For Xu Baoshan, it was his wish to settle the matter.From the standpoint of the imperial court, he is an official of the court; from his own standpoint, he is the overlord of the Jianghuai River.As the overlord of Jianghuai, he also has great interests in Shanghai.And these interests are also related to foreigners.

Once foreigners abandon Shanghai, this treaty port will be abolished, and Xu Baoshan will suffer heavy losses.

"Yan Xiaoguo came to Shanghai to arrest the 'traitor'." He said: "He has found out that the traitor has entered and exited the Maternal and Children's Association, and suspects that the Maternal and Children's Association is harboring the traitor. I have already told him and taught him to be in front of Mr. He opened up and said, if the husband agrees, he will go to get the person, if the husband does not agree, he will complete the identity of the middleman and return to Beijing on his own way."

After hearing this, Lu Heng laughed: "You did your best."

Said: "No one can touch the Maternal and Children's Association. This is my rule. If Yan Xiaoguo is sensible, he will go back after finishing the work; if he is not sensible, he will be killed."

After thinking for a while, he said, "Send someone to the Women's and Children's Association to tell Miss Lin Mingwei about the matter, and ask her to bring the traitor. I want to see what kind of traitor it is—the traitor of the Qing court. I'm interested."

Xu Baoshan should say: "I'll send someone there right away."

Lu Heng said again: "You bring a pen and paper, I'll write something."

Xu Baoshan hurriedly asked someone to bring a pen and paper.

Xu Baoshan's people went all the way to the Maternity and Children's Association, met Lin Heier, told the matter, and said, "Mr. Lu asked Miss Lin to bring her to Xu's residence. He wants to meet."

Upon hearing this, Lin Heier smiled and said, "Okay, you go back and tell Mr. Lu, and I will take people to Xu's mansion afterwards."

After leaving Xu Baoshan's people, Lin Heier went into the back room and went to the backyard, where he saw a big man performing martial arts with a spear.

"Brother Fang!"

Lin Heier yelled.

The big man retracted his gun when he heard the sound, and walked over: "Sister Lin."

This big man has thick eyebrows, a righteous demeanor, and a burly figure, but the depression between his brows is particularly eye-catching.

"Is there something wrong, sister?" He said, "I'll take care of you during this time, if you have something to do, just mention one thing, we are in the sky, mountains of swords and seas of fire, so I dare not refuse."

Lin Heier laughed: "Brother Fang is serious, it's not my business right now, it's your business."

"Oh?!" Fang Tian looked shocked: "But the lackeys of the imperial court are chasing after you?!"

Lin Heier said, "I'm chasing you."

Fang Tian immediately picked up his spear and shouted into several rooms: "Come out, we are going to fight!"

Hulala, hundreds of people rushed out of several rooms in the backyard at once!

Lin Heier said: "Brother Fang, stay here!"

She said: "It's a good thing, not a bad thing!"

Fang Tian was stunned: "Isn't it a bad thing? All the lackeys of the imperial court have come after me."

Lin Heier said: "Chasing is chasing, but wait until I finish talking!"

She said: "Master Xu just sent someone to send a message asking me to take you to his house. I expected this trip to solve Brother Fang's troubles, so I'm here to tell Brother Fang. Fortunately, you will listen to half of what I said."

Fang Tian frowned slightly after hearing this: "Master Xu? But Xu Baoshan?"

"Brother Fang knows Mr. Xu?"

"I know." Fang Tian nodded: "When I came to Shanghai, I inquired carefully. This person has both black and white, he is both an official and a thief."

He said: "This person must have plots against me. In the current situation, if we are captured and handed over to the imperial court, and the imperial court kills us and uses our heads to please foreigners, then Xu Baoshan will do a great job."

He took a deep breath: "Sister, I should go, I can't stay here anymore. Otherwise, it will hurt you."

Lin Heier was speechless when he heard his slapping words, and couldn't help saying: "Brother Fang, can you listen to me? Can I still harm you?"

Fang Tian said: "That's not true."

Lin Heier said: "It's not Xu Baoshan who said he wanted to see you this time. It's another person. I don't know if you remember what I told you, I am the backer of the Women's and Children's Association?"

Without waiting for Fang Tian to speak, Lin Hei'er said straightly, "It's Mr. Lu who toppled the foreign church last night, flattened the foreign concession last night, and sank the foreign warship this morning!"
