Lin Yuan went on to say: "The waterway was built by us Chinese. When we build the waterway, don't we need to spend money to buy various raw materials? Don't we need to pay for people to build the waterway? All these need money! Then Who pays the money, of course, who benefits and who pays, the beneficiary is your foreign merchant ship, who will pay if you don’t pay?”

What Lin Yuan said made Antoine grit his teeth, and he said bitterly: "I also understand what you mean, you just set up a trick to collect money, you have guns in your hands, I can't fight you, we just pay, but I don't want to fight you." Will just give in like this! I will definitely appeal this matter to our country's ambassador!"

An Tuowan then ordered his subordinates to bring the money, Lin Yuan asked people to accept the money, and then issued a receipt to An Tuo Wan, An Tuo Wan smiled coldly, and sternly handed over the receipt in front of Lin Yuan. The ground was torn into pieces and thrown on the ground.

This action was clearly provocative, and the soldiers around Lin Yuan were furious. Just as they were about to rush forward to teach Antoine a lesson, Lin Yuan stretched out his hand and said, "No need, let him tear it up. He's behind when he's feeling bad. Dare he?" Tear my things in front of me, and watch how I clean him up later."

Lin Yuan led the people off the boat, returned to the sea patrol boat, and continued to cruise on the sea. At this moment, he saw a medium-sized cargo ship sailing in the distance with the British flag flying on it. Lin Yuan pointed with his finger and said: " Come on, let's go to that ship."

The British merchant ship was very obedient, and stopped when he heard the sound of Lin Yuan's loudspeaker. When Lin Yuan boarded the ship, he found that all the people standing on the deck were Chinese. At this moment, a strong middle-aged man came from He came out of the cabin, knelt down in front of Lin Yuan, and said, "The villain is the captain of this ship. I don't know what's up with this lord?"

Lin Yuan saw that the man was shaking while kneeling on the ground, and knew that this man was an honest man who was afraid of officials, so he helped him up and asked, "Are you the owner of this ship?"

The man nodded repeatedly, and a soldier next to him said angrily: "You are a Chinese, why did you hang the British flag on the ship!"

The captain was too frightened to speak by the soldier, and apologized again and again. Lin Yuan said, "It can't be his fault. Many times, it will be more convenient to register as a British ship."

Lin Yuan said with a smile to the ship owner: "After you arrive at the port, go to the 'China Ship Standardization Center' and register there. You are our Chinese ship, so you can save a lot of fees when entering and leaving Yingkou Port."

The captain nodded, Lin Yuan got off the ship, inspected the two British ships, collected the channel usage fee, returned to the port at noon, entered the dock, just in time to see the cargo ship Fengsu docked on the dock, and many workers The cargo on the ship is being moved down.

The soldier on the side said to Lin Yuan: "The captain of the Wind Speed ​​is too arrogant, Lin Shuai, you have to find a way to punish him!"

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "I've thought about it a long time ago, you guys come with me." After Lin Yuan finished speaking, he asked people to park the boat on the pier, then took the people off the boat, and walked straight to the side of the wind speed. When the foreign crew saw that Lin Yuan was about to board the ship, they stopped him as soon as they stretched out their hands, saying, "We are loading and unloading cargo, no one is allowed to approach."

Lin Yuan frowned, and scolded fiercely: "Those who are blind, I want to board the boat for inspection, get out of the way."

Relying on their stature, the foreign crew insisted on blocking Lin Yuan from going up the gangplank. Lin Yuan waved his hand lightly, and the soldiers behind rushed up and pushed the crewman to the ground. Lin Yuan then took several Two soldiers stepped onto the boat. Antoine was handing over the payment with the comprador of the foreign company at this time. Hearing the noise outside, he hurried out, and the comprador followed him.

An Tuowan was taken aback when he saw Lin Yuan, and said, "Why is it you again?"

Lin Yuan saw that there was a Chinese beside Antoine, so he asked, "Who is that person beside you? Why is he still a Chinese?"

As soon as the Chinese heard this, he immediately stepped forward and said to Lin Yuan righteously, "I am no longer Chinese. I have been a British citizen long ago, and now I am a British citizen."

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "He's another guy who has forgotten his ancestors. This kind of person is much more hateful than foreign devils." Lin Yuan asked again: "What do you do? Why didn't I see you when I was on the boat last time?"

The fake foreign devil said: "My name is Connick Sue, and I am the comprador of the British Swire Pacific. I am responsible for the trade between our British and you Chinese in the Yingkou area."

Lin Yuan suddenly thought of Xu Linxiang selling bristles, so he said to Connick, "Did Xu Linxiang sell bristles to you?"

Connick was taken aback and said, "How do you know?"

Lin Yuan ignored him, but looked at Antoine and said, "I'm here to collect the waterway usage fee. In addition, your ship type does not meet the standards of our ship standardization center, so you have to charge another fee according to the regulations. Pen entry fee."

Antoine said angrily, "Didn't you accept everything?"

Lin Yuan wondered, "When did I accept it?"

An Tuowan was so angry that his face was livid, he pointed at Lin Yuan's nose and said angrily: "I have never seen such a rascal like you, you just got on my boat this morning, and you charged me hundreds of thousands of money, and you still have money. It hasn't been five hours, why don't you admit it."

Connick smiled flatteringly at the side: "Captain, calm down, the Chinese are just like that!"

Lin Yuan chuckled and said, "When have I been on your boat?"

Connick said from the side: "You said it yourself just now. You said that you hadn't seen me when you got on the boat. Why did you forget it in such a short time?"

Lin Yuan nodded, and said: "Oh, I also remembered after you said that. It turns out that I really boarded your boat, but did you pay? I can't remember clearly, and you all know it. The governor is very busy with many affairs, and I don't take these little things to heart."

When Antoine heard this, his nose was almost crooked, and he pointed at Lin Yuan's nose and cursed: "Small things, you say these are small things! I gave you nearly 30 pounds, and you actually said it was a small thing."

Lin Yuan slapped his forehead, pretending to be suddenly enlightened, and then said with a smile: "There is no evidence for what you say, how about this, I will always give the receipt after collecting the money, where is your receipt? Show me it, if you If you have a receipt, it means that you have indeed paid the money."

But the receipt has been torn into pieces by Antoine and thrown away. Where can I find it?At this moment, An Tuowan remembered Lin Yuan's words: Let him tear it up, he will be behind when he is uncomfortable!It was only then that Antoine realized that Lin Yuan had already planned this matter since the time he tore up the receipt.

An Tuowan was speechless, Lin Yuan frowned coldly, and said, "Okay, if you don't pay the fee, you will deliberately deceive the official. If you don't give a severe punishment, it will be difficult to gain authority. Come here!"

The soldiers behind Lin Yuan saw that Shuai Lin had given Antoine a hard time, not to mention how relieved they were, so they answered the "yes" very loudly.

Lin Yuan said loudly: "Go to the cabin and search for all the silver and pounds. If there is not enough, we will seize the goods on the ship."

Antoine was in a hurry, he stretched his arms to block the front of the cabin, and said, "We really have no money!"
