The arrogance started from Chinatown

Chapter 708: Press on

The group entered the police station and came to the outside of the interrogation room. Chen Zhengwei took a look inside and saw that the Malay man was hanging on the beam, with his whole body suspended in the air.

Although he had some injuries on his body, it was obvious that he had not been tortured.

Chen Zhengwei immediately raised his eyebrows, looking dissatisfied:

"Why haven't you been punished yet? Are you guys just playing house?"

"I have the most experience dealing with this kind of people! They are cruel and ruthless and will never repent! First torture them, chop off their hands and feet, and leave them with a breath!"

"Mr. Chen, we understand your feelings!" Governor Blake glanced at him, then turned his head and gave a look to the police inspector beside him.

Soon, three policemen walked in, whipping the Malay with whips in their hands.

Soon, the Malay started screaming.

After a while, the Malay man was covered in blood, and the police asked the interpreter to ask loudly.

There was also an interpreter beside the governor, who translated for him.

Subsequently, the details of the Hong Kong club case gradually became clear.

These Malays came to Hong Kong to attack in retaliation for the execution of their chief.

At first, Lin Wenzhou thought that the Malay would not agree with this statement.

Unexpectedly, the other party accepted it happily.

In his opinion, this would make others think they were rebelling and make their name known.

As for why it was Hong Kong, it was because it is the trade hub of Asia, there are many British people here, and the defense is not tight.

Their purpose was to attack the club, where the people were either rich or noble.

The insider arranged them on the second floor. When the attack time came, they came out of the room on the second floor, killing people and throwing shells downstairs.

After the shells exploded, they went down to massacre again.

As for Chen Zhengwei, he just happened to appear outside.

"Is it as he said?" The Governor looked aside.

"From the information we have, the confession is true!" the police inspector said immediately.

"Continue torturing them and see if there is anything else that has not been discovered. No one related to them can be spared! Also, keep this person alive! The Colonial Office has sent someone and they will arrive in Hong Kong in a month." The Governor instructed.

"If there is any new news, please inform me at any time!"

After finding out what had happened, the governor decided to leave.

As soon as he turned, however, the two guards beside him crashed into the wall, one hand on the Governor's neck.

"Mr. Governor, there are some things we should talk about!" Chen Zhengwei had a fake smile on his face.

"That day you f*cking suspected that I was the murderer?"

"I'm very sorry about this!" the Governor said in a deep voice. "You were the only survivor at the scene! Now your suspicion has been cleared."

"I am the only survivor? My men are not human? Are they human?"

Chen Zhengwei suddenly kicked the governor and knocked him to the ground.

The entire police station was in chaos.

The governor was hurriedly helped up, his hands on his waist, his face bloodshot and veins throbbing on his forehead.

He was kicked in the side by Chen Zhengwei.

If looks could kill, he would have cut Chen Zhengwei into pieces long ago.

"I'm sorry about this!" Chen Zhengwei imitated the governor's tone and shook his legs: "Damn it, I didn't mean to do that. This leg has other ideas! What can I do? I can't do anything!"

"Is that enough?" Governor Blake suppressed the anger in his heart.

"What's with your attitude? I've already fucking apologized, what else do you want me to do? I never apologize to anyone!" Chen Zhengwei looked aggrieved and angry... even angrier than the governor who had just been kicked.

Governor Blake snorted angrily and turned away.

He was really afraid that if he continued to stay, he would get into a fight with the other party.

Chen Zhengwei curled his lips, spat on the ground, and said sarcastically:
"Damn it, finally I don't have to be framed!"

"I haven't been sleeping well these days!"

"I'm so scared, Englishman!"

"Let's go and have a midnight snack!"

When the governor in front heard these sarcastic words, he gritted his teeth again and pretended not to hear them.

Chen Zhengwei left with his men with a sneer on his face.

There is no need to arrange anything afterwards.

This Malay was whipped and thrown into a cell. He might have been infected and died in a few days.

After all, the sanitary conditions in the cell are so poor!

The governor had just submitted the report to the Colonial Office when details of the case appeared in the newspapers, directly confirming the matter.

Randolph Churchill has also put a lot of effort into putting pressure on the ruling party these days.

The Prime Minister warned the Foreign Secretary twice, asking him to handle the matter with caution and that the most important thing was not to give the Conservative Party any leverage over him.

That would make them passive.

In addition, Chen Zhengwei had already dealt with the Hong Kong issue, so the Foreign Minister had no choice but to give up this opportunity and continue with his original plan.

In fact, the indigenous people of Malaysia have already been instigated, and even if the Ministry of Foreign Affairs abandons the plan now, it will explode sooner or later.

Moreover, allowing them to vent their hatred on the Chinese and create conflicts and hatred between the two ethnic groups will also be beneficial to their rule. This is the most cost-effective way for them, and they have no reason to give up.

……

Chen Zhengwei stayed in Hong Kong for another day and went to Central to see the bank location found by Chen Fenglu.

It is located on the same street as Standard Chartered Bank, the size of three shops. The original owner was a British man who happened to die in an attack on a foreign club.

Chen Fenglu took some effort to buy the land from the other party's family, and planned to tear it down and rebuild it.

"Remember, you must be generous! As a banker, you must let your customers know at a glance that you are very rich and have too much money to spend!" Chen Zhengwei walked around these three shops and was quite satisfied.

A bank branch will be built here, and in the future the bank will connect with the money houses in Guangzhou.

Needless to say, the importance of this bank lies in the fact that its client list includes Chen Zhengwei's henchmen and most of the Chinese in North America.

"Boss, don't worry about this!"

"Also, don't forget what I told you before. Use the dock workers controlled by Blind Loyalty to get the merchants coming here to deposit their money!"

"As for that blind loyal man, you should also give him some benefits! Let him take care of the dock that I asked you to buy!"

Chen Fenglu recently bought two dock areas. Although the location is not large, it has a different meaning for those Chinese people. It is considered their own place.

Not only can it be used to feed people, but it can also be used to hide guns, so there is a place to hide when something happens.

His dock is not something that anyone can search just because they want to.

You can even go out to sea here.

After arranging all these things, another day passed. In the morning, Chen Zhengwei yawned and led his men on board.

Big Head followed behind dragging the luggage, looking around curiously along the way.

In addition to him, there was an extra person, Lin Wenzhou.

After all, he is going to Malaysia next, a place he is very familiar with, and Chen Zhengwei also needs someone who is familiar with the local situation.

As soon as the group boarded the boat, two parrots flew over. Changhong landed on Chen Zhengwei's shoulder and rubbed his face affectionately, but was then driven away by the fireworks that flew down.

Huapao squatted on Chen Zhengwei's shoulder and looked at Datouzai curiously.

After a while, he said, "Pujiezi, can you speak?"

Datouzi was stunned for a moment, then he was both amused and confused. He never thought that he would be asked by a bird if he could talk. The gangsters around him all laughed.

"Pujiezi, can you speak?"

Huapao asked again with his head tilted, and then without waiting for his answer, he fell down along Chen Zhengwei's shoulders, grabbed Chen Zhengwei's clothes and climbed up.

"Fuck, my clothes!" Chen Zhengwei grabbed it and threw it out while cursing.

This dress is ruined again.

Datouzi and Lin Wenzhou followed him into the cabin and saw that it was filled with luxurious decorations. The thick carpets on the floor, the wooden decorations on the walls, and the paintings all demonstrated the luxury of the ship.

"boss!"

Dozens of foreign waiters stood on both sides.

"Arrange two rooms for them!" Chen Zhengwei snapped his fingers, threw his coat, and went back to the deck to lie down in the lounge chair.

This season is perfect for sunbathing on the deck.

Soon, the ship's whistle sounded long and long, and the ship began to slowly leave the port.

……

At the Governor's Mansion, Governor Blake looked at the port in the distance.

That bastard finally left.

Several times he wanted to order the British troops stationed in Hong Kong to take action against this mad dog, but he always restrained himself.

Even if Britain is behind him, he will be afraid of this mad dog.

When this kind of person is angered, he can do anything, and he has powerful strength in his hands.

This kind of people are the most troublesome.

……

At a small dock not far away, Chen Fenglu and Blind Zhong stood watching the ship in the distance slowly leave the port.

The sea breeze blew on Chen Fenglu and Blind Zhong's clothes, causing the hems of their clothes to flutter constantly.

After watching for a while, Chen Fenglu retracted his gaze and said to Blind Zhong: "Here at our feet... and the 20th and 21st piers next to us, we will leave them to you to take care of from now on."

Blind Zhong was completely stunned. "Mr. Chen...what do you mean?"

"The boss has already bought the company that manages these docks. But there are still some British shares in it!"

"From now on, 70% of the port's profits will be handed over to the company, and 30% will be used as your port management fee. If there are any problems at the port, you will be responsible for solving them!"

"This is an opportunity for you! The boss is very optimistic about you!"

"Thank Mr. Chen for me!" Blind Zhong's face showed surprise and gratitude.

"It's enough for you to gain a foothold in Hong Kong! You can thank me in person when you have the chance in the future!" Chen Fenglu said with a smile.

"It's not far from here to the United States. You can go and see it if you have a chance."

"I will definitely go!" Blind Zhong was completely excited. With this port, they had a foothold.

The most important thing is that you can handle everything by yourself.

Many of his subordinates are dock workers and are also responsible for loading and unloading goods here.

"By the way, I have something to remind you. The boss doesn't like anyone selling opium! If you dare to sell opium and the boss finds out, you're done for." Chen Fenglu reminded.

In Hong Kong, opium dens are everywhere.

This thing makes money quickly, and people in the society especially like it.

"Don't worry, Mr. Chen. I know what that is. People who smoke opium will eventually become half-human and half-ghost, and suffer endless disasters. If anyone dares to touch it, I will chop off his hand!"

……

While the two were talking, a ship was slowly approaching the shore not far away.

A Chinese man in gentleman's suit stood at the bow, looking in the direction where Chen Zhengwei's fleet was leaving. After a long time, he retracted his gaze and turned towards Hong Kong.

There were several Chinese men around him.

"Brother Li, stop looking, they're gone! If they get here, Manager Chen Lao Hu won't be here anymore!" said another man.

These people were all businessmen who ran opium dens in San Francisco. Chen Zhengwei closed down their opium dens and extorted them of money. They were also used to the small investment and high profits in the opium business, so they finally had to flee to Hawaii.

However, not long after gaining a foothold in Hawaii, Hawaii was occupied by Chen Zhengwei again.

Even the king is dead.

Later, people from security companies and labor companies arrived in Hawaii.

Afraid of being noticed, these people packed up their things and fled, taking a boat to Hong Kong.

This is British territory and is close to the Qing Dynasty. Although Chen Zhengwei's arms are long, they can't reach here.

The one who is called Brother Li is called Li Liangyi.

Not far from him stood a woman holding a child about two years old. The child's name was Li Hiu-shen.

……

After Chen Zhengwei's ship left Hong Kong, it went directly to Macau, which was separated by a river.

Although the Qing government did not recognize Macau as a Portuguese colony, Portugal completely occupied Macau in 1849 and stopped paying rent to the Qing Dynasty.

The Qing Dynasty also turned a blind eye.

When the Portuguese Governor in Macau learned that Chen Zhengwei had come to Macau, he also felt a headache.

Anyone who meets someone like Chen Zhengwei will have a headache.

And they had no choice but to gather government officials and some Chinese businessmen to welcome him.

Chen Zhengwei only stayed in Macau for one day, and he didn't come here to have fun.

He forcibly rented a piece of land in the Inner Harbor area for a symbolic silver dollar per year.

The cannons were pointed at Macau from the sea, and the Governor of Macau readily agreed.

Macau is not a deep-water port. The port is mainly located in the inner harbor area, and is mainly used for regional trade and smaller international trade.

Chen Zhengwei rented a place here in order to send those immigrants from western Guangdong who wanted to go south directly to Hong Kong, which was separated by a river, and then to Ryukyu.

In this way, the seaports from Guangzhou to Hong Kong and Macao were opened.

The northernmost seaport is in Fujian.

The indemnity paid by the Qing Dynasty in recent years is equivalent to several years of national tax revenue, and more will be paid in the future.

From the Sino-French War, to the Sino-Japanese War, and then to the Eight-Nation Alliance!

The Qing Dynasty could only continue to increase taxes at home.

More and more people will not be able to survive.

As news about Chen Zhengwei gradually spreads in the country, more and more people will want to go out to sea to find a way to make a living.

Chen Zhengwei estimates that at least several million people will emigrate over the next twenty years.

Twenty years later, there will be at least 15 million Chinese in North America, accounting for 20% to % of the U.S. population.

Afterwards, Chen Zhengwei and others set off for Vietnam.

In less than two days, the fleet arrived in the waters near Da Nang in central Vietnam. They saw some fishing boats fishing near the coast and two wooden warships with a displacement of more than 100 tons patrolling, one of which was blocking the fleet's path.

The fishermen and patrol ships at sea also saw this huge fleet and were immediately panicked.

Chen Zhengwei stood at the bow, looking at the wooden warship in front. He could see some people on the patrol boat running, and some looking over here with binoculars.

"Brother, it looks like a Vietnamese patrol boat! They are asking about our purpose!" Li Xiwen said on the side.

"What patrol boat? It's so small, who can see it?" Chen Zhengwei raised his eyebrows and sneered, then ordered casually:
"Press forward!"
