Done!I'm surrounded by yanderes!

"That brat dares to come to foreigners' territory and run wild." The hawker on the side looked at a group of foreigners beating a servant.

"I can't tell you, he seems to be a servant of the Lu Family." Another onlooker seemed to recognize the person who was beaten.

"So what, Mr. Lu? Who doesn't know that now the first-class foreign officials, the second-class officials, the third-class dogs and the fourth-class men." Another passerby interjected, and the whole room burst into laughter.

Mr. Lu and I listened to the arrangements of these vendors all the way, and there was only an invisible suffocation in my heart. They could be so insensitive, watching their compatriots being insulted, but they could still make jokes.

But looking back, I feel pity for them in my heart. These people seem to be staying out of the situation, but in fact, what they are laughing at is not their own situation.

"Foreign adults, what happened?" Mr. Lu tried to communicate with the other party to understand the situation.

"Is this your servant? Which master is it?" The foreign translator on the side walked up arrogantly.

"Yes, in the Lu Mansion of the Lower City God's Temple." Mr. Lu saluted respectfully.

"Okay, Mr. Lu, who doesn't know that you are a popular person in front of Mr. Zhang? I will give you face and persuade some foreign adults for you, but I don't know if they are willing to stop." The translation seemed to be He had guessed the origin of the servant a long time ago, but deliberately waited until Mr. Lu signed up for his number, then with a look in his eyes, he took the initiative to pretend to help communicate.

"Thank you, sir. If you can help me in the future, please come to our Lu family." Mr. Lu bowed and saluted again, and stuffed some silver coins.

I recognized the little boy who was beaten. He was the servant who said he would help me ask the year last night. I was about to step forward and stop those guys.

"A little impatience will ruin a big plan." Mr. Lu calmly grabbed me with force and told me quietly.

I can hardly understand the need to tolerate sanctioning such outrageous behavior.

Those foreigners in uniforms wore high boots and stepped hard on Xiao Dezi's head, and kept hitting his body with the butts of their guns.

The translator walked up to the foreigner, nodded and bowed to communicate, and came back to tell Mr. Lu after a while.

"Because your servant is not discerning, he came to a place he shouldn't have come to, and he disturbed the eyes of a few foreign adults. Let's do this, you can compensate me a little, so I can talk better." The translator smiled and explained why Xiao Dezi was beat.

"It should, it should." Mr. Lu quickly collected some more coins and prepared to hand them to the translator.

"They beat someone, do they still need us to pay for it?" I was angry and funny. When I thought that Xiao Dezi came here to inquire about me, I became even more angry.

"Hey, I'm afraid this gentleman is not from the imperial city?" the translator cautiously asked.

"No." I replied casually.

"Then what are you talking about? Mr. Lu, why did you find a country boy who doesn't understand the rules?" The translator rolled his eyes, put away Mr. Lu's silver, turned around and walked towards the foreigner.

If I didn't have to find Dragon Veins as a priority, I would have killed these guys right now.

At this moment, a man wearing a suit and carrying a suitcase rushed over.

Master Lu looked worried on one side of his face.

"Why are you beating people?" The man grabbed a few foreigners and shouted loudly.

"Hey, hey, let go." The translator rushed forward, trying to drive the foreigner away before he got angry.

"Why do they beat people? Tell me." The man turned and picked up the translator's collar, and the broken silver in the translator's hand scattered on the floor.

"This guy doesn't have eyesight. He came to the foreign master's place and disturbed the foreign master's eyes. He should be beaten." The translator explained the reason.

"This is the territory of foreigners?! Tell me again? This is China!" The man punched the translator hard, but Master Lu stopped him.

"You..." The man looked at Mr. Lu hesitantly.

"Forget it, son. Xiao Dezi will be dead after one punch." Mr. Lu shook his head helplessly.

"I don't have a rotten and useless father like you." The man shook off his hand and went to hold Xiao Dezi's hand.

Several foreigners seemed to be angry and wanted to beat Mr. Lu's son as well.

Mr. Lu quickly knelt in front of the foreigners and begged them to let his children go.

The foreigner loaded the gun directly and pointed it at the father and son.

Mr. Lu's son's eyes were almost filled with the flames of hatred, which I quite admired.

Because the guns in their hands are too low-level and cannot produce machine souls at all.

I searched several times and sensed that there was a steam engine of unknown purpose in the house behind them. It seemed to have a controllable machine spirit.

Then with a thought, a huge fire broke out where the foreigners lived.

They quickly put down their guns and hurried back to put out the fire. After all, they were only the most basic guards. Between personal grudges and the safety of the consulate, they could only protect the consulate first.

"What's your name?" I looked at the young man in front of me curiously.

"Lu Shi'e." The young man swept away the ashes on his body, glanced at his father, and went to help Xiao Dezi first.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, let's go home quickly." Mr. Lu quickly greeted us to go home.

I looked around at the passers-by watching the fire at the foreign consulate,

They didn't step forward to help, but seemed to be cheering secretly.

No matter how many foreigners came out to ask for help, or even paid for it, no one was willing to go up and help put out the fire.

When I really stand in this magical country instead of watching it in history,

Only then can I feel the humiliation and twisting, and even the desire to self-destruct and regain a new life.

Back at the mansion, Mr. Lu exchanged greetings with his son and then began to order his servants to prepare the dinner.

I happened to have nothing to do, so I went to take care of Xiao Dezi.

He was beaten with injuries all over his body, and he kept apologizing to Lu Shi'e.

"It's all my fault. If it weren't for me, I wouldn't have caused Shaodong's family to be pointed at gunpoint by foreigners."

"Don't apologize, brother De. You have taken care of me since I was a child, and I have always regarded you as a friend. Today I am fighting them, these disgusting things that fight against human power. Soon we will drive them all away!" "Lu Shi'e held Xiao Dezi's hand and spoke seriously about his ideals.

"Okay, Young Master! Well done! But there's one more thing I want to tell that brother." Xiao Dezi was already furious, but he suddenly mentioned me.

"Say." I looked at the injuries all over Xiao Dezi's body, but I still felt uncomfortable. Although he looked down on me at first, it was because he thought I was a lunatic.

His nature is not bad, but he is full of short-sighted self-righteousness. In this small Lu family, he is a big shot.

"This is the year 190...8 according to the foreign calendar." Xiao Dezi fainted after finishing speaking.

Chapter 293 The Fourth Master

After everything was finally settled, the family dinner was about to begin in the evening.

As a person recommended by Mr. Lu and Mr. Lu’s son Lu Shi’e, I also decided to attend the family banquet on the spur of the moment.

Mr. Lu invited Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zeng and Mr. Dong to sit down one by one, but he did not expect that Mr. Yuan would follow behind him.

And the other three adults seemed to respect him very much. They waited for him to sit down before pulling out their own chairs and slowly sitting down.

Mr. Lu seemed a little unsure and didn't know how to treat Mr. Yuan, but Mr. Yuan behaved very kindly.

But I feel that this Master Yuan has an indescribable aura about him.

"Let's put this dragon-hunting thing aside for today, and let the adults have a drink first." When the wine was about three-quarters full, Mr. Lu, as the host, started talking and tried to liven up the atmosphere.

After all, this small dinner was a reflection of the checks and balances of power throughout the late Qing Dynasty.

"Business matters are important, business matters are important." Mr. Zhang expressed his attitude first, which was equivalent to saying that no matter what tonight, he had to set the tone first before he was willing to pick up his glass of wine.

At the end of the day, Mr. Zhang also glanced at Mr. Yuan at the side.

This glance put Mr. Lu in trouble. Mr. Yuan didn't know his background, and he wasn't wearing official uniform. He didn't even bring a jade pendant or a sachet. He couldn't tell his background at all. The only thing that could be known was that he was a Han.

"There is a good guy in our team training camp. He was once a strong man who moved mountains and mountains. He can help you. It's just." Mr. Zeng was extremely supportive, but when he said it, he raised his glass.

"Say, you can say that our Eight Banners can also recruit talents that your regiment training camp does not have enough. We have recruited many talented people and strangers from the Eight Banners in the early years." Mr. Dong deliberately gave Mr. Zeng a hand. , so as to put him in a dilemma.

"It's just that since the split of the Xiangzi Camp, the local regiments have gone into separate camps. I want to gather the team, but I am really powerless." After Master Zeng finished speaking, he drank in one gulp.

"Master Zeng can't unite the local forces. It seems that the two Guangdong areas are in chaos." Master Dong naturally knew what Master Zeng wanted, so he deliberately gave out the excuse and deliberately suppressed it.

"Isn't it that the Eight Banners Battalion sticks to the imperial city and we have to do all the other things to wipe the butt?" Mr. Zeng immediately became tough when he saw that the asking price was not met.

"Hey, Mr. Zeng, you are serving the court wholeheartedly. I, Mr. Yuan, propose a toast to you." Mr. Yuan raised his glass, and Mr. Zeng's anger immediately subsided. He raised the glass respectfully and drank again.

"Since Guangdong and Guangxi are in chaos and rebellions continue, why not let the Green Camp move in." Lord Dong saw that Lord Zeng was not very popular, so he deliberately pretended to want to promote Lord Zhang and suppress the other party.

"Master Dong's words are inappropriate. Although Green Camp has been abandoned for a long time, the coastal border defense is urgent and needs to be strengthened." Master Yuan saw that Master Dong was in full swing, so he also gave a few words of advice.

What Master Lu never expected was that Master Dong, who was used to being arrogant and domineering, would become speechless in front of Master Yuan.

Who exactly is this Master Yuan, he has no way of knowing.

"Since that's the case, don't you have someone to recommend for this dragon hunt, Mr. Lu?" Mr. Zhang saw that the scene temporarily calmed down, and quickly took the lead to promote the development of the matter.

"This is..." Mr. Lu was just about to introduce me.

His son Lu Shi'e had already stood up and wanted to leave the table angrily.

"Hey, is this Master Lu's son?" Master Dong looked at Lu Shi'e mockingly.

"It's Quanzi." Mr. Lu's face turned green and white.

"I really can't bear it anymore. Since you are all important officials of the imperial court, isn't the most important thing now to drive away those invading foreign devils and restore a peaceful era to the people?" Lu Shi'e couldn't help but feel resentment in his eyes.

In his opinion, this pedantic dinner reflected the Qing Dynasty's decline and inaction everywhere.

"Hahahaha." Unexpectedly, several adults laughed.

Only Mr. Yuan looked at Lu Shi'e with interest.

"Why are you laughing? What are you laughing at?" Lu Shi'e almost went crazy.

"It's all my fault for letting him read foreign books and ruin his brain." Mr. Lu desperately wanted to protect his son and told him not to say more, otherwise his brain would be damaged.

"What a young boy, let me test you, why do you want to expel foreigners?" Mr. Dong was the first to ask his question.

"They occupied our ports and trade, forcibly sold cigarettes, weakened our people, and had evil intentions." Lu Shi'e angrily pointed out what the foreigners had done.

"Then do you know, if foreigners are not allowed to maintain ports and trade, how much more silver will our court need to issue to control the mouths of the people below?" Mr. Dong said while glancing at Mr. Zeng and Mr. Zhang.

"In the past, the port traded tens of thousands of taels of silver, which went into the pockets of wealthy merchants along the coast. The court imposed heavy taxes, and the wealthy merchants complained about poverty. The silver collected by the entire port in a year was not enough to make a loss. Now if it is given to foreigners, the foreigners will at least give the money to The imperial court." Mr. Dong looked at Lu Shi'e in front of him mockingly. In his heart, this brat was just a young boy who failed to understand the world.

"Taxes are not coming up because you only have heavy civilian taxes and light commercial taxes. Official corruption and shortfalls are too serious." Lu Shi'e still did not give up his point of view.

"Then what do you think we should do? If the imperial business tax increases, the merchants will say they have no money to make money in the coming year. If the salt merchants collapse, who will be able to support the local league training and protect the safety of the people?" Mr. Zeng also intervened at the right time.

"Then put an end to the war, stabilize the environment, then rectify the wealthy businessmen, and unite the outside world." Lu Shi'e continued to tell his views.

"Hahahahaha." The three adults laughed non-stop.

Lu Shi'e was angry and annoyed when he was laughed at.

I can't help from the sidelines. After all, I'm just a passerby and have my own things to accomplish. I can't tell them that you won't be able to stay for a few more years.

"Master Zhang should be responsible for the dragon hunt." Master Yuan casually nodded at the three adults.

So after another round of exchanging cups and complimenting each other, we finally made a plan.

Mr. Zhang nominally formed a dragon-hunting team and gave Green Camp a new number as the Dragon-Guarding Camp. Mr. Zeng would recruit the local regiments from Guangdong and Guangxi and select talented people as the backbone. However, the treasures found would be used as income for the imperial court and would be counted by Prince Yikuang. , and then returned to the treasury.

Lu Shi'e left early and stayed alone in Xiao Dezi's room.

Mr. Yuan finally mentioned that the wine and the moon are intoxicating tonight, Mr. Lu's Liangzi is too drunk and talks nonsense.

The adults just said thank you for the hospitality and left gracefully.

Master Lu, who had been trembling with fear all night, felt like he was being pardoned. He endured it calmly and almost cried when the adults left. His son didn't have to lose his head.

Mr. Yuan said he wanted to know more about my magic, so he asked me to come to his room at night.

Surprisingly, Lu Shi'e came a step earlier and was waiting for Mr. Yuan.

Master Yuan probably guessed his purpose, so he sat by the bed.

"Do you know what they are laughing at?" Master Yuan asked Lu Shi'e.

"You are laughing at me for not overestimating my abilities. What else can I do?" Lu Shi'e was almost mad with anger.

"If the war subsides, where can they make money? So you don't understand the running context of the entire court at all. They are laughing at you and letting them ruin their own jobs." Lord Yuan replied with a chuckle.

"This is so pedantic. This is the same as treason. The power that is supposed to protect the country is instead using it to benefit the country. They are still like this. How can this country be strong among such forces?" Lu Shi'e almost roared out.

"So it's good for you to drive out the Tartars and restore China." Mr. Yuan said calmly.

"Established the Republic of China, equalized land rights..." Lu Shi'e took over the other party's words in disbelief.

"I, Yuan Weiting, have been entrusted by Mr. Sun to help you protect the Chinese Dragon Vein." Mr. Yuan saluted respectfully.

"Yuan..." Lu Shi'e looked at the person in front of him in surprise. He probably didn't expect that the important ministers of the late Qing Dynasty were actually members of the Tongmenghui who were trying to overthrow the Qing Dynasty just like him.

"Chinese dragon veins must not fall into the hands of outsiders. The secrets are related to China's thousand-year foundation and the hope of the revival of our people." Mr. Yuan explained seriously and solemnly.
