That night, the capital was completely in chaos. This chaos did not belong to the common people. They lived in their own soybean sauce stalls and pancake shops. The price of rice, flour, and soybeans day by day was what they had to consider.

Poor people may not be able to understand the troubles of these rich people, and they cannot imagine the pain of a business worth millions of taels being held by others.

Sure enough, the lower the yuwang, the happier it is. On a quiet night, the occasional barking of dogs in the alley seemed lazy.

The people were peaceful, but the nobles and servants of high families were in chaos all night!

He summoned the family's managers to a meeting overnight and sent his confidants out of Beijing from all directions to ease the affairs. There were hundreds of slaves who ran to Tanggu to give gifts.

There are also a group of housekeepers who want to go to Jiangnan. They can only use their hot faces to stick their cold butts and try to restore their business to its original state!

Of course, there is also Prince Ding Fuxi. He knocked on the door of the British Embassy with the post of the Japanese Sixth. Fuxi, the timid person, stayed inside for more than 40 minutes and left in a dirt.

"Please pay my respects to grandpa!" Fuxi went to Prince Gong's mansion overnight to pay homage to the Devil Six.

Yi had never rested in the study and pretended to read the book. In fact, he just wanted to suppress his surprise. Fu Xi came and asked quickly, "What did the British say?"

Fuxi shook her head, "The embassy people tripped me up with soft nails, and they denied that this was a government act!"

"Not only that, the British side also said that this is a very ordinary business dispute. The British government is very fair in it. It will not stumble on the interests of British merchants because it involves the interests of British merchants, nor will it put pressure on our court!"

"When I heard that my words were loose, I quickly asked them to mediate and ask those foreign merchants not to make trouble. Is it just a matter of money? They are all doing business, so you can discuss something."

"What did he say?" Yi asked.

"Hey, this British man refused. He said that he believed in free trade. The government only cared for taxes and services and would never interfere in business transactions!"

"No matter who loses and earns the business, or whether it can continue to do it, the government cannot interfere in the British saying that wind can enter, rain can enter, but kings cannot enter."

"People's private affairs should be solved by the private individuals themselves!"

"Fart! I'm also dealing with it privately. What does the official documents they posted a few days ago mean? Didn't they send them to their embassy?"

Fuxi said tightly: "Yes, I asked, too! But the British would say that this is the service provided by the government! British businessmen suffered a loss in lawsuits in local areas and did not believe in the credit of local officials, so they had to go to Beijing to file a lawsuit!"

"Our embassy has the obligation to serve merchants. We summarize the complaints they submitted and sent them to the General Office of Li Yamen. There is no mistake!"

"Summary delivery is one thing, and we have no tendency to deliver these things. This is normal job! You can sue the case anyway!"

"Our embassy will only attend and record that if you really commit an unjust case, the embassy will interfere until then!"

Fuxi sighed and said, "I can hear it from my tone. These things are really not handled by the embassy this time. They should have nothing to do with the British government from beginning to end!"

The Japanese Lion also understood it, and he frowned and said, "It's impossible! If the British government had not taken action, how could so many people have put pressure on us collectively? It's impossible for people without an organization!"

"Is it Xiao Letian? It must be Xiao Letian who must be the one who stands out for Zaichun, and he is the organizer behind it!"

"But Xiao Letian hasn't come back in Nanyang?" Fuxi asked back.

"The person has not come back, but his power is still here! It must be him, it must be him." The Japanese Six himself could hear the horror in his voice.

The study was silent. After a long time, Fu Xi said quietly, "How is it possible? No matter how powerful Xiao Letian is, he can't command so many British businessmen at once!"

"That's Britain! It's not the emerging Prussian Germany. It's definitely okay for him to influence Prussia, but I want to influence Britain?"

"It still affects this point? It's impossible, it's really impossible. I think the Chinese and British are just a threat, and the British took action. Xiao Letian took the opportunity to work together to put pressure on us!"

The Japanese Liu was soft on the chair and waved his hand and asked Prince Ding Fuxi to go back. He wanted to analyze the situation alone!

When he sat down in the middle of the night, his head was buzzing with pain. He thought that this was the British man's black hand, and then he felt that this was Xiao Letian's conspiracy!

But no matter how you think about it, Fu Xi said just now, no matter how capable Xiao Letian is, he will never be able to order so many British people. You should know that after the end of the legal publicity, the British are also very cautious about Xiao Letian!

What the British Embassy said is not wrong. They believe in free trade and emphasize that the government does not interfere in specific business unless it is at the national strategic level, and in that case, the army will be directly used!

A small conflict of tens of thousands of taels and hundreds of thousands of taels of silver cannot make Britain so powerful!

But if it is not the British government, and if it is not Xiao Letian, who else can it be? Where is the enemy hiding? The Japanese were confused at once!

It’s really like losing the axe and seeing that everyone is a thief!

I sat wither all night until after five o'clock in the morning and couldn't stand it anymore. Only then did Yi barely take a nap in the study. When it was almost nine o'clock in the morning, suddenly there were rapid footsteps outside the study, and his son Zaicheng shouted sharply.

"It's really bad if it's broken, something big is bad! Ah, something big is bad."

"Bastard! There is no rule in shouting!" He was so angry when he woke up. Yi grabbed the pillow and smashed it to the head.

Zai Cheng took the pillow and knelt on the ground, "Ama! It's broken that our Xishan Camp bought shells, and the bullet loan was refuted by Standard Chartered Bank!"

"Ah! Is it refuted?" Yi sat on the bed with a look of rust, stunned!

Through two Opium Wars, the great powers opened the Qing Dynasty. They not only gained the right to do business, but also the right to preach and establish an embassy!

More importantly, the advanced Western banking system also began to blossom in full swing with the Second Opium War!

Currently, major British banks have branches in major ports and cities in the Qing Dynasty. However, since they have just entered China, the people still have very distrust of foreign banks, so their popularity is not high!

These foreign banks concentrated in Dongjiaomin Lane are actually not responsible for the business of ordinary people and small merchants. Their main job is to cooperate with embassies of various countries to undertake government business.
