Lu Hong naturally did not need to hide the matter from Yan Fu about these two account books. The two discussed it for a while and immediately decided to wait for Wang Renkan to decide how to deal with it. After all, it was the imperial envoy who made the final decision now. Several teams of men kept a close eye on Wang's North Goods Store, and Yan Fu also threatened and lured Wang Asheng that night. By daybreak, this guy had completely given up on the idea of ??confrontation. After all, for his current crime, he was definitely on the head. No guarantee, you know, this is stealing money from the emperor's family, and it is that kind of extremely despicable behavior! Yan Fu pleads lightly with the imperial envoy for him as a condition, and with the temptation of opium, the old smoker finally agreed to identify Yuan Jiugao as a dead Taoist friend but not a poor monk. This guy obviously understood this basic truth. At this point, At this time, it is obviously very valuable to save one's life. When Yan Fu came out with the fully transcribed confession, Lu Hong asked with some confusion: "Brother Yan, I just heard that you are quite familiar with this rich man, and you have complied with many requests in a serious manner. What are you going to tell Mr. Wang then? " Yan Youling chuckled and pulled Lu Hong to the side, "Mr. Lu, are you serious about this death row prisoner? This case is definitely a major case that goes directly to the court. How could I No matter what condition you agree to, not being implicated is already the greatest favor. Then you can tell the adults about it!" After saying that, the man thrust the confession into Lu Hong's hand, and Lu Hong read it carefully. Every sentence here is like a knife. As long as the relationship between Fatty Wang and Yuan Jiugao is confirmed, this case will really be a solid case! After spending the night cautiously, Lu Hong and Qin Tianmin rushed to the dock to wait for Wang Renkan in the morning. The Wang family here looked like an iron bucket. When Wang Renkan got off the boat, he still had a solemn expression on his face. However, Lu Hong held his hand. After glancing at the large package of confessions and clauses, he nodded repeatedly with satisfaction. "Lu Yunchan, this matter was handled quickly, go to Daotai Yamen immediately!" Huang Zuluo has been restless these days. When Wang Renkan came to the door, he rushed out to greet him, and later Lu Hong led him Guan Wen, who was leading the Governor of Liangjiang, Liu Kunyi, secretly met with Wu Ankang. This matter could be done without any internal response from the Navy. However, if these proud and powerful generals were offended by then, it would be a life-long disaster. Wang Renkan was convinced that Lu Hong had recruited helpers from the Nanyang Army so quickly, and he was happy to let him handle it. When Wu Ankang saw Lu Hong suddenly coming to visit, and at this moment, he naturally knew that the matter was not trivial, and he In fact, the biggest concern now is not to bring down Guo Baochang and Yuan Jiugao. In the army, who has a very clean butt? Selling these two is just a way for Mingze to protect himself. So when he saw Lu Hong, he ignored the greetings and said very nervously: "Master Lu, the news I sent you yesterday is absolutely fine. Please remember to say a few nice words in front of the imperial envoy!" Lu Hong was naturally The guy who came to recruit people to join the gang was not a good guy, but in comparison, his appetite was obviously not as good as those two, which was a good sign. He took out the official document of Liu Kunyi, the governor of Liangjiang, and handed it to this guy calmly, "General Wu, Governor Liu's official document is here, you should read it first!" As a result, this guy was sweating profusely after reading it. Liu Kunyi's official document said that it was Wang Renkan's full authorization to rectify the Nanyang Navy's disciplinary violations. , and this imperial envoy came originally with Shang Fang's sword. It would be weird if Wu Ankang wasn't nervous! "Master Lu, even in the army, I am dedicated to serving the emperor I dare not make the slightest mistake" This person is not at ease in his heart, and his confidence in speaking is a bit lower. He is already calling himself a subordinate! When Lu Hong saw that the heat was almost over, he did not continue to threaten this guy, "I have already made it clear to Academician Wang about General Wu's character. Naturally, this time he has merits and no faults Of course, even if there were some minor mistakes in the past, Sir Wang Naturally, he will make a clear decision! But" He said this with a cold tone, "Your Excellency already has irrefutable evidence that Yuan Jiugao committed the crime. As for whether Guo Baochang is involved, you have to think carefully, General Wu. This has nothing to do with you. "It has a lot to do with your future!" When Wu Ankang heard this, he immediately understood what Lu Hong meant. This gave him a lot of energy. With the Imperial Envoy taking care of him, no faults are merit. His tone of voice immediately became familiar to him. The network was extremely tight, "Master Lu, what do you say about the naval affairs here? I will certainly listen to you!" "Okay!" Lu Hong slapped the table and took this guy with him to mutter in the barracks for a long time. . Later, Wu Ankang sent someone to the camp to deliver an order. He said that the governor of Liangjiang, Mr. Liu, had given a reward and asked all the officers in the camp to obey the order. As a result, when these officers arrived, they were immediately surrounded by Wu Ankang's two battalions. , several cronies of Guo Baochang and Yuan Jiugao in the camp were captured one by one. In the evening of the same day, Wang Renkan personally supervised the formation and waited at Dongjiadu. Sure enough, before it got dark, the two Nanyang Navy ships "Nanchen" and "Nanrui" came to the rescue.The hulled battleship had already appeared outside the pier and was slowly approaching the pier. Yuan Jiugao and a dozen officers were all detained by Wu Ankang and his men as soon as they got off the ship. However, what was unexpected was that the commander Guo Baochang was no longer with Nan Rui. on the ship. When the two warships passed by the Bund Concession Pier, Guo Baochang couldn't wait to go ashore to meet his old friend, but unexpectedly, something went wrong. When Yuan Jiugao saw the imperial envoy Wang Renkan, he immediately collapsed to the ground Then, Lu Hong The leaders immediately found more than 300 boxes of opium and even miscellaneous goods from the back cabins of the two battleships. These naval officers obviously had no scruples in making money and took all the money. Wu Ankang was naturally very dissatisfied when he saw that Guo Baochang had not been arrested. However, the navy could not mess around in the concession. It was not managed by officials of the Qing Dynasty. This gave Wang Renkan and Huang Zuluo a headache. , If this Guo Baochang insists on staying in the concession, it will really be a mess in his life. Lu Hong immediately thought of Zheng Xiongrong, discussed it with Wu Ankang, and sent a few people to follow Lu Hong directly to the British Concession. That night, he caught the drunk Guo Baochang at the racecourse in Huayuan Lane. It didn't take much effort. I took it back to Daotai Yamen with enough strength, and the whole thing was settled calmly. Wang Renkan was naturally overjoyed after completing this matter. Lu Hong already had a lot of confessions on hand, and with the large amount of smuggled goods that almost arrived today, this was definitely a major case. He had achieved such results in less than 10 days after arriving in Shanghai. He immediately went back to draft a note and prepared to send it to Weng Tonghe of the Military Aircraft Department in Beijing. This was a matter of earning great face for the Qingliu Party, and also helped the court recover a large amount of money More importantly, with this credit in front of him, Things will be easier to deal with later on. Now he was extremely reassured about Lu Hong's ability to handle these chores, and came to him specifically to praise him. Then he completely became the hands-off shopkeeper, "Lu Hong, you should be the first to achieve such results this time. Just draft a report to the Military Aircraft Department, and you will try the case clearly as soon as possible, and all the criminals will be found guilty, and these black sheep can't be left behind!" Lu Hong naturally agreed. He would accept the trial, and naturally only need to convict the two important people! Guo Baochang and Yuan Jiugao's guilt will be settled as soon as they are proven. As for Wu Ankang taking the opportunity to clean up the house by taking the goods, this is not something he has to worry about! This time, both the internal commander of the Nanyang Navy and the commander of the left wing were imprisoned. The shock was undoubtedly huge, and a large number of officers subordinate to these two men were immediately purged by Wu Ankang. This Wu Ankang was definitely not a rookie in officialdom, and now he was caught Opportunity, how could he not understand that this was the best opportunity for him to climb to the commanding position, so almost all the officers who were not his were captured and detained in the navy camp first. Early the next morning, when Lu Hong led a team of people to pick up the prisoners, they found that the atmosphere in the entire dock naval camp was very strange. The sailors gathered together in twos and threes, and in front of a large warehouse in the distance, Wu Ankang was leading He was negotiating with the detained officers with a group of hands. Of course, the officers who were identified by Wu Ankang as the confidants of his old boss must be the first batch of people to be purged from the navy. And the reason for this is too easy to find! Naturally, Lu Hong got down to business first. After presenting a series of confessions and the official documents of Liu Kunyi, the governor of Liangjiang, what was unexpected was that the two people he had thought would deny them desperately turned out to be directly charged. These two men were originally brave warriors, but under the nominal pressure of Wang Renkan, the imperial envoy, they did not do anything other than plead guilty. Regarding these two cowards, Lu Hongzai had no interest in asking any more, and simply gave the writing job to Yan Fu and Qin Tianmin. He led a few of his men out to find Wu Ankang. When he arrived at the barracks, he heard a lot of noise inside. The sound of arguments made him feel a little strange.
