I saw the group of soldiers divided left and right, surrounded the gate of the factory tightly, and the leader dismounted, holding the whip and hands behind his back, walked to the door, and said in an official tone: "Who is making trouble here?"

The officer walked close to Lin Yuan, Lin Yuan glanced at his mending uniform, saw a majestic tiger embroidered on it, and smiled inwardly: "A tiger is a fourth-rank military officer, but I am a first-rank military officer." Where is the big official of the frontier!"

As soon as the military officer finished speaking, he saw Laysen beside him and the big men holding sharp knives. He frowned heavily and said angrily, "In broad daylight, you actually hold a long knife! What's the matter?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Wanqing whispered to Lin Yuan, "This military officer is going to reprimand foreigners. It seems that there are some good officials in the Qing court."

Lin Yuan smiled lightly and said, "Don't be in a hurry to say that." At this moment, Laisen walked up to the military officer, bowed and saluted, and said with a smile, "Hello, Mr. Liu, a thug has come to our factory. , wanted to take away our workers, we tried hard to dissuade them, but not only did they not listen, they even injured our people!"

Leysen couldn't help becoming angry when he said this, and said to his subordinates: "Bring our people up!" Before he finished speaking, he heard a howling sound from a distance, two big men supported a strong man, Walking staggeringly from a distance, the eyes of the supported strong man were covered with white gauze, and there were two large round bloodstains on the gauze, which made it obvious that his eyes had been gouged out .

The two helped the strong man to Lord Liu, and Laisen pointed to the big man and said, "Look, Lord Liu, our people stepped forward to dissuade us, but that female bandit actually gouged out our eyes alive! The method is cruel. It's outrageous!" Hearing this, the big man knelt down in front of Mr. Liu, crying and saying, "My lord, my eyes are so miserable, I'm in so much pain, I beg you to punish the female bandit severely!"

Master Liu's eyes widened immediately when he heard this, and he said angrily: "What a bold female bandit, she actually gouged out people's eyes in broad daylight, come here, tie me up, strip off all my clothes, and put her on a wooden donkey for public display!"

Shen Wanqing said: "I didn't goug his eyes! His eyes weren't hurt at all, he was just pretending to be hurt!"

When Master Liu heard this, he said angrily: "What a female bandit, how dare you argue!" After speaking, he turned to the soldiers beside him and said, "Go up and lock me up!"

All the soldiers rushed forward upon hearing this, Lin Yuan stretched out his hand and said loudly, "Wait a minute!"

Master Liu said angrily, "What do you have to say?"

Lin Yuan ignored Mr. Liu, but whispered to Shen Wanqing: "Their trick is really bad, see how I can easily expose them!" After finishing speaking, Lin Yuan took two steps forward, using Pointing at the big man, he said, "Whether his eyes are hurt or not, you can tell by taking off the gauze covering his eyes. Master Liu, can you ask the big man to take off the gauze on his eyes?"

When Master Liu heard this, he said angrily: "What a shameless person, his eyes are already hurt, but he still wants him to take off the gauze, what are you so worried about!"

At this time, Lai Sen chimed in and said, "Master Liu, this man has a gun in his hand, so he must be a thug!"

Master Liu nodded again and again, and said, "That makes sense, lock this man up for me too!"

Shen Wanqing pointed at Mr. Liu and said angrily: "What kind of official are you? Look at these girls, how have they been tortured? You don't care about these things, but help foreigners bully us! I can see it , you and the foreigners are clearly in the same group!"

Mr. Liu said: "These people were all bought by the owner of the spinning factory. The owner decides to kill and keep them. How can you talk too much? You are such a bold female bandit, how dare you insult me. Let's see how I deal with you!" Take it quickly!"

Upon hearing this, all the soldiers rushed forward ferociously, scaring the girls into crying. Lin Yuan suddenly said loudly, "Liu, do you dare to tell me your position and name?"

Mr. Liu took a few steps forward, and said with a sneer: "Today, I met someone who is not afraid of death, and dare to talk to me in such a tone, I will let you be a fool. My surname is Liu and my name is Linxiang. Xunsu Songtai often waits for the soldiers to prepare Daotai, and everyone calls me Shanghai Daotai!"

Lin Yuan smiled disdainfully and said, "So it's just a Taoist platform, what's the air? I thought you were the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang?"

Liu Linxiang is the highest official in the Shanghai area. No one has ever dared to talk to him like this. When Lin Yuan said this, he became curious and said, "You say I am a small Daoist, then what are you?"

Lin Yuan originally wanted to investigate anonymously, but at today's stage, it may be impossible to remain anonymous, so Lin Yuan waved to Liu Linxiang and said, "If you want to know who I am, get out!"

Seeing Lin Yuan's arrogance, Liu Linxiang couldn't help muttering in his heart: "This person dared to rush into the foreigner's factory to snatch people openly, and it was still in broad daylight. His status must be unusual. I should be careful, and neither foreigners nor powerful people can offend them! "

Liu Linxiang walked a few more steps in front of Lin Yuan, and said with a sneer, "I want to see what changed you!"

Lin Yuan took out the seal of the governor of the three eastern provinces and held it in his hand. Seeing Liu Linxiang approaching, he flashed the seal and put it back in his sleeve. Ever since Lin Yuan was suspected in Mongolia, he often took the seal Take it with you.

Although Lin Yuan only lit up once, it was enough for Liu Linxiang to see clearly. When Liu Linxiang saw the seal in Lin Yuan's hand, his eyes widened, and he thought to himself: "Hey, my mother, why is this master Lin Yuan? Far away! You must know that this person is Lin Yuan, even if a foreigner carries me in a palanquin, I can’t come here!” Thinking of these things, my knees involuntarily softened, and I was about to fall to my knees.

Seeing that Liu Linxiang's knees were bent, Lin Yuan knew that he was going to kneel down, so he raised his chin, made a posture of getting up, and said, "Get up, I don't want too many people to know my identity, and you don't want too many people to know my identity." People know, let your soldiers withdraw and let us go."

Liu Linxiang nodded his head like a chicken pecking rice, waved his hand at all the soldiers, and said, "Let them go!" Leisen beside him hurriedly said, "My lord, just let them go!"

Liu Linxiang whispered next to Lai Sen: "This man is Lin Yuan. Don't mess with them. Just let them go. Aren't they just dozens of female workers? Buy them later, and treat them as a means of avoiding disaster!"

Laysen's eyes froze, and he said angrily, "You Chinese are afraid of Lin Yuan, but we people in the British Empire are not!"

Liu Linxiang said helplessly: "Forget it, let's turn it into a small matter, don't conflict with Lin Yuan, it's not worth it..." Liu Linxiang persuaded Lai Sen in his ear, and Lai Sen nodded reluctantly , Liu Linxiang smiled at Lin Yuan and said, "You can go!"

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Liu." He waved at the girls and said, "Let's go!" The girls laughed happily, and Lin Yuan walked outside. When Lin Yuan walked to Laisen, he suddenly heard Shen Wanqing shouting behind him: "Be careful!"

Before Lin Yuan could react, he felt something cold press against his temple, and Leisen's cold voice came from beside his ear: "Lin Yuan, do you think you are the only one with a gun?"
