Although the official rank of the alternate Taoist rank is lower than that of Zhao Guanhou, the Jin Kingdom as a whole is still in a situation where the civil servants and nobles are inferior to the military positions. The civil servants are more capable than the military positions. In addition, the weight of the alternate Taoist rank is inferior, as long as there are ways, many responsibilities can be appointed as the alternate Taoist rank. Therefore, in the officialdom of the Jin Kingdom, there is also the saying that universal alternate Taoist rank is omnipotent.

Yuan Weiting trained troops in Tianjin as a Taoist, and Guo Yunsheng was a co-organizer of the grain station under Yuxian, and he was also an important position. In theory, Zhao Guanhou, a guest general, had no prestige in front of him.

But the problem is that there is a wife of Jason next to Zhao Guanhou, and the situation is not very different. A rich woman in Western countries can treat Yuxian as a woman, and a mere Taoist candidate would not take it into consideration. Moreover, this matter was the Shandong government's fault, and the boxers besieged the train for a day and night without doing anything. It is reasonable that Mrs. Jason got angry.

This pretty widow usually looks like a girl in love in front of Zhao Guanhou, most of the time, she becomes the cold-blooded marquis in the business world. Although her voice is not loud, she is extremely harsh. She has not been translated, but said directly in Chinese:

"It must be stated that I have deep doubts about your country's ability to protect railways. Thousands of armed thugs have demolished the railways and besieged our trains for dozens of hours. Your court has done nothing. It is necessary for me to report all this to our country and re-evaluate your country's ability to build and maintain railways. Our loans will not be issued until the assessment report is made."

Guo Yunsheng begged repeatedly, "I'm really sorry. I can't blame this for being a minor matter. When the officials heard the news, they did not dare to delay at all. They lit up the soldiers and came, but they wanted to take the wrong path and delayed many hours. They were so worried that they were scared and really uneasy. When everyone arrived at Zaozhuang County, the officials set up a small wine to suppress the shock of the people. The railway was already being repaired quickly. It will definitely be possible to leave at noon today."

He looked at Zhao Guanhou again, "Mr. Zhao, in fact, I think it's better for Mrs. Jiansen to not go to Zaozhuang. It's not safe enough to get close to the bandit's nest. If there are bandits in chaos, guns and bullets are not eye-catching, and you and I can't explain it. Why don't you and I ask the Marquises to turn back? As for the bandit suppression, we will do it."

Zhao Guanhou shook his head, "I'm afraid it's impossible. Among the hostages kidnapped this time, several compatriots of Mrs. Jason include both shareholders of Huabi Bank and engineering and technical personnel working in Shandong Railway. She needs to protect the interests of her compatriots. Furthermore, the imperial court built the Luhan Railway and borrowed huge sums of money from Biguo. The wife is the supervisor of this loan. Of course, we need to examine the efforts of our country for railway construction and protection. This big robbery happened to happen on the railway. Why didn't you let your wife participate?"

Seeing that the military officer was not polite to him and pressed him step by step, Guo Yunsheng was not annoyed, but instead smiled. "Yes... what the Lord said was the extreme, and the Lord Zhao thought it was bad. He also asked Lord Zhao to take care of him. In front of his wife, he also had to help Xiaoguan with a few words. Xia Guan was just an alternate Taoist sermon. This time he was helpless. He had no good idea to capture the strong man. I hope Lord Zhao would give him more advice."

"I can't talk about the advice. Since Mr. Guo is co-organizing the case of bandit suppression and a local official from Shandong, he must know the case. I would like to ask, who did this case, but he has any insights?"

"There is naturally a flaw. The person who did this case was Sun Meiyao, the leader of the bandit in Baodugu. This man had always been illegal and repeatedly invaded the railway. This time he was even more courageous and robbed so many succulents in one breath. Yu Futai had ordered the eighth battalion of the Yong infantry Army, one battalion of horses and cannons, and set up a formation in Zaozhuang. As soon as Lord Zhao arrived, he could immediately attack the mountain. There was no need for the adults to worry about the food, Taiwan and military supplies, so as to ensure that the supply was sufficient and there was no shortage."

Although before departure, King Qing and Han Rong both explained to Zhao Guanhou that the hostages could only be taken slowly, not urgently, and must not use swords and guns to damage the hostages. However, the court also seeks decentness in its official affairs, and cannot explicitly write about recruitment and resettlement, but only writes about full disposal of bandit suppression. In name, it has the position of bandit suppression, Yu Xian seized this flaw and deliberately pretended to be confused. The telegram sent by Yu Han Rong ignored it and was still prepared according to the regulations of bandit suppression.

He was born in a donation class, but he was known as a capable official, which was better than a professional official. He ruled Shandong, and had always carried out harsh governments. From the state to the province, he killed countless people, and was known as slaughtering. If a thief fled and threw his stolen property into the home of a passerby, the passerby was designated as the owner of a nest and killed everyone. Such things emerged one after another, and he was a cruel official in the great Jin Dynasty. However, the public security in Shandong was greatly improved under his killing, so the court praised him more than belittled him.

Shandong people were fierce. Since the beginning of Hongzhao, there have been frequent green forests and strong beams in the area. In order to resist the revenge of the horse militia, Yu Xian recruited soldiers from Shandong and organized more than 20 battalions of the Dong-name Yongying. Each battalion has five hundred infantry, three hundred horse soldiers, and four hundred artillery soldiers, totaling ten thousand people. Although the equipment, food and wages cannot be compared with the Wuwei Army, there are also one battalion of rifled rifles, three battalions of smoothbore rifles, and half a post of Minni rifles, which are used by the governor Biao Battalion and will never be sent out.

This time, the eighth battalion infantry sent included two smoothbore rifle battalions, with considerable combat power, and Guo Yunsheng also showed great confidence. "Although the bandit gang of Sun's army is brave, they are bandits after all, and they are not as good as the officers and soldiers of our court. As long as the adults give the order, our Shandong soldiers will be united and can plow the pavilion and sweep the nests and sank the bandits' nest..."

Zhao Guanhou stopped him, "Mr. Guo, it's not the time to say this now. I want to ask for advice. Since the Lincheng incident occurred, has Sun Meiyao's troops sent someone to negotiate ransom or other conditions? How did Shandong respond?"

Guo Yunsheng shook his head repeatedly, "No, never. Sun Meiyao is stubborn for the thief who has accumulated over the years. He likes to kill and fish. He cannot sleep well every day without several women. In a place in Shandong, countless women are humiliated by him, and even those who hang themselves in wells cannot know how many people are hanging. Yu Futai has long wanted to catch them all. He kidnapped these foreigners, most of whom he kidnapped were just asking for ransoms, so he would not contact the government. Besides, Yu Futai is an official of the court and will not pay for foreigners. So they did not come to touch this nail or die. I heard that there are female relatives in the foreigners. Maybe Sun Fei jailed the car for these women..."

Zhao Guanhou shook his head and thought to himself: Sun Meiyao is not a lily, where did she get the fishing squamous? In this way, these local officials in Shandong are absolutely unbelievable. He no longer asked about the bandits, but asked about the military affairs on the frontline and the Boxers.

Fortunately, Yuxian did not dare to destroy the rules in the officialdom too much. Before receiving the official order from Zhao Guanhou, he did not allow the troops to attack and suppress the bandits on their own. For the Baodugu area, he adopted a siege but not attacking, and the situation was still reassuring. As for the boxers, Guo Yunsheng's answer was also very straightforward.

"A group of ignorant village men in the countryside were mostly bewitched by the matter of Lincheng, so they wanted to follow suit and kidnap Sorkin. Therefore, they must not tolerate Sun Meiyao, and they must be wiped out in one fell swoop and kill one to warn a hundred. If others follow the example and use robbing the train as a way to make money, there will be no peace in the world."

Zhao Guanhou nodded and expressed his agreement, "Mr. Guo said very well that the culprit of the train robbery must be severely punished, otherwise, the prestige of the court will not exist. There is no way to talk about the public security in Shandong. I know what I know. When I get to the front, I will start to do it immediately."

Guo Yunsheng has great magical powers and can even prepare a table of croquettes in remote areas, and several listeners sent them to the carriage. However, Mrs. Janeson said to Guo Yunsheng with disgust: "I like purity, and the attack last night made me not sleep well all night, and now I want to make up for my sleep."

"Yes...yes, Madam, just sleep, and the official will leave now."

Not only him, Huo Qiu, the Yuan brothers and the guards who came with him, Jane Sen's bodyguards retreated to the second carriage. Guo Yunsheng looked back and looked for Zhao Guanhou. Huo Qiu pushed on his shoulder, "What are you looking for? It's impossible for us to come out. He comes out. Why can Mrs. Jane Sen sleep? Let's have something outside."

The train hook was re-hooked, but the blood in the second carriage and the passengers injured by the bomb could not be handled. Guo Yunsheng pondered the relationship between Zhao Guanhou and Jian Sen, and secretly cared about it in his heart. He called a listener and said a few words in a low voice. The listener quickly got off the train, asked for a horse, and headed straight for Jinan.

When Guo Yunsheng left, Mrs. Jason became a passionate little woman again, greeting the merchants and dining together here. Although those merchants had some money, they were always worse than a candidate Taoist. Seeing Jason drove such a Taoist out, but eating with him and others, she felt quite proud.

Jiang Fengzhi and Jian Sen sat down with Zhao Guanhou, who was envious of these wealthy businessmen. The rich man with Yingyang smiled, took a diamond ring from his hand, and handed him to Zhao Guanhou, "Sir. If it weren't for the adults' life to protect him this time, the villain's wealth and life would be difficult to protect. Don't refuse this little thing. The two girls around you are all beautiful beauties. You can give this little jewelry, which is a pity."

"No need." Zhao Guanhou did not take the ring. "Look, they have two. I took the ring, didn't I cause trouble for myself. If I give this or not, would the other one be happy?"

He said this, which was equivalent to putting Jiang Fengzhi and Jian Sen at the same position. Jiang Fengzhi felt a little sweet and pretended not to understand. She looked at the ring and shook her head, "I am a martial arts practitioner. I only carry a finger tiger, not a ring. You should take it back quickly. If I punch out, the ring will be broken."

Although Jason was not very happy, she had the ability to roll in the business world and was not as good as she was happy and angry, so she pretended not to understand this sentence and ignored it. Zhao Guanhou said to the businessman: "Several people, if you really want to thank me, please do me a favor. This is actually to help me, and you are also helping you. Everyone is all businessmen, and they are seeking to make peace and make peace all the way. The carjacking case is not handled well, and the whole railway is difficult to safe, and everyone's business is not easy to do. Do you think it should be lifted earlier?"

"What the lord said is that the horses, robbers, and the newly launched boxers have made the ground in Shandong go day by day, and our business will be very difficult. If the matter of Baodugu cannot be resolved smoothly this time, it will attract foreigners to send troops and connect with troops, and the business will be even more impossible."

A businessman was even more direct, "We also heard what Mr. Guo said just now. The villain felt that this was not very appropriate. The officers and soldiers would definitely be burning to suppress the bandits. At that time, none of these foreign tickets would survive. How could foreigners give up? Last time, two priests died, and foreigners occupied Jiaozhou. If so many foreigners died, they would not occupy the entire Shandong? With a move, the people would be devastated. This is the worst strategy. Yu Futai was too tough and he really lacked some sleekness in his work."

Zhao Guanhou nodded, "Everyone understands this, then we can have a conversation. I only ask a few to do me a favor. You do business in Shandong, so there are ways and relationships. Please go to the place to find relationships, introduce some local businessmen or foreign merchants to me. I want to ask them what happened to this matter and whether it is really as Guo Yunsheng said."

Speaking of this, his face darkened again. "The ugly words are said in front of you, people's hearts are separated from their belly, and they don't know what to do. If anyone wants to collude with the local government and learn about the rescue of hostages, it is afraid that everyone will not be able to speak."

Mrs. Jason raised her wine glass at the right time, "Cheers for our cooperation. Huabi Bank and Jason Foreign Bank are looking forward to good cooperation with everyone. There will be a lot of business to discuss between us to open up the situation in Shandong together."

By the time the damaged railway was finished, the train could resume traffic. The whistle was whistled again and spit out smoke. The merchants returned to their own carriages. In this huge luxury carriage, only Zhao Guanhou and three others were left.

Jason smiled and leaned his head on Zhao Guanhou's shoulder "Last night, a lady left a mark on you, today... I want it too."

Jiang Fengzhi looked helplessly as they hugged each other and went to the sleeper, put down the curtain, and felt a little sad in her heart. She tidied up her slingshot and waist knife. Thinking about Zhao Guanhou's appearance when he was negotiating with others just now and Jason's timely cooperation, the two were extremely perfect partners.

Compared with it, I showed many shortcomings. I thought to myself: I will show my skills sooner or later, so that you can see, otherwise I will be compared. I must show my face this time to save someone. Sun Meiyao, who is holding a cat... She couldn't help but remember that in Tianjin, Zhao Guanhou and Sun Meiyao fought in the courtyard, and even turned into a wrestling scene, and felt even more congested.

At the same time, on the towering village walls and old sow cannons were placed at four corners, a broken temple transformed into a big village, a big banner that was used for the Heavenly Path, and a minion wearing various costumes constituted the entire Baodugu Mountain Village.

Because of the foreign tickets, the village was very careful. On the surrounding village walls, the gangsters carrying rifles were patrolling. At higher places, there were hanging buckets and special observation posts to watch the movements and prevent sneak attacks. On the crossing of the Juyi Hall, Sun Meiyao crossed her legs, leaned on the chair, smoked a dry cigarette in her mouth, and fiddled with a red gold necklace in her hand. A line of foreign text was engraved on the pendant. She asked the person who understood, it seemed like Hannah's birthday. It was not too valuable. God knows why the foreign woman wanted to be crazy and wanted to fight with herself and not let herself take it away. It's really good, it would be nice to be able to save herself from being able to do it after entering the mountain. Why is she still thinking about keeping the gold goods? It's stupid.
