    In the embassy, ??Guo Songtao was sorting out the manuscripts he brought from China when he suddenly saw a small wooden box containing documents.  Guo Songtao noticed the words "In case of trouble, respond immediately" written on the small wooden box, and he couldn't help but feel a little funny when he thought of the mysteries Lin Yizhe had created for himself.  At this time, Guo Songtao's eyes reappeared in the scene where the two of them had gatherings and talked freely when they were in the capital.  "This Lin Kunyu really knows everything!" Thinking of what Lin Yizhe had planned for him that day, "It's a big disaster. The master is fighting with his roommates. The sun is dim, and the power cannot be done. Even if he does it, he will be deceived and bullied, especially if he writes a letter."  The hexagram "Everyone should be careful about everything, friends, children, and servants", recalling the troubles Liu Xihong caused for himself, he couldn't help but be secretly surprised.  Guo Songtao's eyes fell on the four words "Send a message when something happens" on the small wooden box. His curiosity aroused again, so he stood up and took the box over, opened it after removing the seal, took out the letter inside and read it.  Guo Songtao only glanced at it a few times, and his expression immediately became solemn.  "Seriously, this trip to London is really a journey to a dragon's pond and a tiger's den!" Guo Songtao sighed after carefully reading the "strategy" left by Lin Yizhe.  Guo Songtao was sighing, but when the door opened, Zhang Deyi and Wu Bian Guo Bin, the counselor of the embassy and Guo Songtao's translator, walked in quickly.  "My lord, the British Foreign Office has sent someone. Please go to the ministry immediately and say that the British Foreign Secretary has summoned you." Zhang Deyi said, "Is there someone from the British Foreign Office?" Guo Songtao was stunned, and he immediately remembered that he had just seen Lin Yizhe give him  Regarding the strategy for handling the "Dian Case", I vaguely guessed in my mind that the people from the British Foreign Office were probably related to the "Dian Case"!  "Exactly, sir, they are still waiting in the living room, saying they want to submit the summons in person." Guo Bin looked at Guo Songtao and replied carefully.  "I feel that the person who came here seems to have some bad intentions" Guo Songtao said "hmm" calmly, locked the small wooden box again, and then came to the living room with Zhang Deyi and Guo Bin.  Sure enough, unlike the enthusiasm of the British when he went to the British Foreign Office to submit his credentials after he first arrived in London, the expressions of the two British Foreign Office personnel who arrived seemed very cold, and their diplomatic rhetoric was also very stiff. Guo Songtao  Without saying anything more to them, after receiving the summons, he took Zhang Deyi and Guo Bin to the British Foreign Office.  Arrived at the British Foreign Office.  As expected, British Foreign Secretary Derby directly raised questions about the "Dian Case" to Guo Songtao, and made strong protests and solemn representations to Guo Songtao because "a British person died in this incident", and formally submitted a letter of protest and a negotiation note.  .  "Mr. Guo, this is a very serious atrocity. I hope your government can take it seriously. Otherwise, your government will bear all unforeseen consequences." Derby said to Guo Songtao very seriously.  Guo Songtao heard the threat implicit in Derby's words. He already knew from the strategy left to him by Lin Yizhe how the British would blackmail China regarding the Magali case, so he was not panicked.  Instead, he replied calmly: "This incident is very sudden and I am also very shocked. However, this time Ma Jiali was killed because he sneaked into our country's border in the name of tourism to serve as a soldier of your country from India."  The team led the way, explored the route, and shot our people with arrogant words, which aroused public outrage and was killed. Although the case was minor in China, it was due to the good relations between the two countries, so it was not investigated in detail.  , I don¡¯t expect your minister to question our country, but I don¡¯t know what¡¯s the reason?¡± After hearing Guo Songtao¡¯s answer, Zhang Deyi and Guo Bin¡¯s faces were full of surprise.  Zhang Deyi temporarily forgot to translate Guo Songtao's words.  Regarding the occurrence of the Yunnan case, the two of them had only just learned the news now, and they immediately felt that it might bring big trouble to China. Unexpectedly, Guo Songtao said such reasonable and restrained words that were neither humble nor arrogant. He seemed to know the details of the Yunnan case well. How could  How can it not surprise them?  "Junfeng, please turn it over to Minister De." Guo Songtao coughed dryly and said when he saw Zhang Deyi's appearance.  Only then did Zhang Deyi react and immediately translated what Guo Songtao had just said in fluent English.  After listening to Zhang Deyi¡¯s translation, Debi¡¯s eyes also flashed with surprise.  As for the details of the Magali incident, he was still waiting for a telegram from Waitoma. The reason why he sent a letter of protest and a negotiation note to Guo Songtao first was to gain a head start without Guo Songtao knowing the truth, and to prepare for future blackmailing from China.  Prepared, but what he didn't expect was that Guo Songtao seemed to be fully aware of the details of the Magali incident.  "Mr. Guo, is your statement based on the investigation results of your government?" Derby asked.  "I have received domestic notification about this matter and have a rough idea. The details are still being investigated." Guo Songtao said, "Ma Jiali took advantage of tourism to visitIn the name of ?, in order to detect the route, the shooting of our border residents is ironclad evidence that cannot be denied. If your minister uses this person's death as an excuse to extort, and the good relations between the two countries are damaged, I believe that Her Majesty the Queen of your country is  You won't agree, right?  " After hearing Guo Songtao's hidden words, Debi was secretly surprised. He couldn't help but secretly regret that the protest letter and negotiation note were sent a little too early. Perhaps because he saw Debi's regret, Guo Songtao smiled slightly and said: "Now, your minister  It seems that I do not know the details of this case. For the sake of good relations between the two countries, please take back the letter of protest and note that your minister just sent.  " Guo Songtao said, without even looking at the protest letter and negotiation note handed over by the British just now, he handed it back again/ " There was a trace of unspeakable embarrassment on Debi's face. He thought about it and clicked  Nodding and waving his hand, the staff of the British Foreign Office who had just submitted the protest and negotiation note hurried forward and took the two documents back from Guo Songtao. ¡°The imperial government is seriously concerned about this unfortunate incident.  "Debi said forcefully, "I will draft a new note and send it to Mr. Guo. I also ask Mr. Guo to inform our country of the situation that your government has learned about this incident, and compare it with the situation that our country has, so that this can be facilitated.  further processing of the incident.  " "Easy to say, easy to say.  "Guo Songtao nodded and said vaguely. The two talked for a while, and then Guo Songtao left. Perhaps it was to express his gratitude for the step Guo Songtao gave to the British and respect for Guo Songtao himself. Derby personally sent it.  Guo Songtao went out and got into the carriage. When the carriage left the compound of the British Foreign Office, Guo Songtao took out his handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead. "My lord, the murder of this British man is really serious.  As you said, the song is in England?  "Zhang Deyi asked impatiently. "Well!  "Of course Guo Songtao couldn't tell him that this was actually written clearly by Lin Yizhe in the document in the wooden box. He just nodded vaguely. "Did your Excellency know the details of the case in Beijing?  "Guo Bin has a simple mind. He is an old man who has followed Guo Songtao for many years and is very familiar with Guo Songtao's daily actions. However, he does not know when Guo Songtao knew the details of the Ma Jiali incident. He was blind to the old master's talents and knowledge.  Admired, he began to use his imagination. "Well!  "Guo Songtao nodded, "The General Administration has already explained this case. I didn't take it seriously at first, but unexpectedly the British wanted to make a fuss about it. I turned around and wrote down the details of the case and sent it to them.  You should also take a look at it when the time comes, so that outsiders will not ask about it, not knowing the rights and wrongs, thinking that it is in our country, and causing trouble again.  " Zhang Deyi and Guo Bin nodded in agreement. When Guo Songtao returned to the embassy, ??he rushed to the study, took out the strategy Lin Yizhe gave him again, and read it carefully. " Not long after, the British sent the note to the Chinese embassy again, Zhang Deyi  After receiving the note, he was about to send it to Guo Songtao when he unexpectedly met Liu Xihong. When Liu Xihong saw the note, he didn't know the contents. Thinking that it might be for the envoy and had nothing to do with him as the deputy envoy, he felt jealous.  Angry, regardless of whether he could understand it or not, he opened the note, pretended to read it, and ordered Zhang Deyi to translate it for him. The content of the note was not long. Zhang Deyi explained it to Liu Xihong, and Liu Xihong understood it.  One of the cases was serious, and he was immediately frightened. Knowing that if he didn't handle it well, he might be in trouble, he immediately asked Zhang Deyi to send the note to Guo Songtao, and he left the embassy without saying where he was going.  , It's really" Guo Bin looked at Liu Xihong who was staggering out of the door and snorted angrily. Most of the embassy staff did not like Liu Xihong. Liu Xihong was mean and mean, and his servants would be offended by him if they were not careful.  He was punished, like Guo Bin, who was a military officer. One time when he was traveling, he accidentally walked in front of Liu Xihong. Liu Xihong was furious and reprimanded him severely. If it weren't for the fact that Guo Bin was Guo Songtao's old subordinate,  For his own sake, he might even give him a slap. Zhang Deyi looked at Liu Xihong's back, shook his head, sighed, and hurried to Guo Songtao's study and gave the note to Guo Songtao.  After seeing this new note, he immediately ordered Zhang Deyi to translate it first and write it on paper. After Zhang Deyi completed the translation, Guo Songtao ordered Zhang Deyi and others to withdraw. He compared the British note and the strategy given by Lin Yizhe to write a letter.  The reply from the British came. At this time, Liu Xihong had already got on the carriage and headed straight to the post office. According to the agreement, he would send his diary back to China every ten days, and the diary should be sent to the mailing address.  Li Hongzao¡¯s home! At this moment, the British Foreign Office is also busy. British Foreign Secretary Derby held an emergency meeting to discuss MagaliRegarding the handling of the incident, as the details of the incident were not yet understood, the meeting unanimously agreed that the British Minister to China, William Wade, should be asked to "collect more extensive convincing evidence and relevant materials as a basis for negotiations with the Chinese."  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
