Chapter 56 Little Trouble

Ouyang Hao and He Dingyi, the captain of the second team, were naturally not idle, and the task was quite difficult. Lu Hong arranged for them to investigate the docks along the Huangpu River. Now there are at least sixteen or seventeen docks along the waterfront of Shiliupu, British Concession, and French Concession. Some are just barge docks, and some can be directly used for customs clearance and inspection.

When they went out, they specially dressed in a businessman dress and temporarily pretended to be northern merchants who had just come to Shanghai to do business. This is reasonable. They are naturally the focus of the investigation, and the subordinates were not wasted, and they were all sent out to inquire about the news. After all, there is no need to think that there is too much news.

Just as Ouyang Hao was inquiring along the Huangpu River, Lu Hong had already visited Huang Zuluo, the Shanghai Daotai. He was very polite to Lu Hong, who held the imperial envoy's document. However, when he heard Lu Hong's request, his old face suddenly froze. After thinking for a moment, he asked: "Does Lu Yun want to go to the Customs and Taxation Department to verify some tariff accounts?"

"Mr. Huang, this is true. It is related to the emperor's dispatch and has to be dealt with carefully. If you can recommend a few officials who are familiar with customs affairs, Lord Wang will be grateful!" Lu Hong smiled slightly. His identity today was not a sixth-rank verdict, but a sign that the imperial envoy Wang Renkan came to inform this matter.

If you want to take the Nanyang Navy's handle, you will naturally have to dig deep into the matter of collusion between the Nanyang Navy and the local government. After all, the most convenient way for the navy is to evade taxes in customs clearance. If the goods are transported into customs and they still have to sell them, this is obviously not a good idea... Therefore, it is naturally necessary for the Customs and Taxation Department to come and take a trip.

Huang Zuluo wrinkled his old face and stroked his beard for at least four or five times before sighing and saying, "Person Lu Yun, it's not that I refuse to respond to this matter. However, although the chief and deputy envoy of the Customs Department were all documents signed by me, the Taoist peddler, it was hard to say anything at all... To check this account, I'm afraid the imperial envoy would have to discuss with Na Hud!"

Lu Hong smiled in his stomach and secretly ridiculed the old man. He had naturally found out about the matter of the Customs and Taxation Department. Huang Zuluo did not tell any lies, but this guy still hid his own privately. The Customs and Taxation Department was set up in the Shanghai Office. Although Hurd definitely did not look down on these Shanghai road platforms coming and going, in name, the Customs and Taxation Department exercised powers and reviewed customs accounts, but the Shanghai road platform still had jurisdiction. However, over the past 30 years, the British had completely regarded the Shanghai road platform as a decoration.

However, he did not regard this rule as a decoration. He came to Huang Zuluo and said a few words softly, which immediately made the old man Huang feel relieved. Suddenly, a document signed by Shanghai Daotai to check the customs account was put into Lu Hong's pocket. Half an hour later, Lu Hong had already walked into the customs building located in the British Concession, which was just completed last year by the Huangpu River.

In fact, when he got off the Bund Pier, Lu Hong noticed this building that looked quite similar to the later customs building. However, at the door, they were stopped by several people...

The tall and powerful Indian policeman, led by "You Rubremis", waved at Lu Hong with an arrogant look and said something murmurly.

Lu Hong was naturally a little depressed. He didn't wear an official robe when he came out. He always felt that he couldn't wear that thing. Ouyang Hao behind him was also dressed in casual clothes. He had previously been to the Shanghai Daotai Yamen and handed him a famous sect. The yamen runners naturally understood it very well. However, it would probably be useless to hand over these Indian police officers here. Although he was not a problem with English, this Indian dialect... he would understand that thing!

While Lu Hong was considering how to communicate with these two Indian Sikh local buns, the two Indian policemen actually took off the wooden batons hanging around their waists, shouted at Lu Hong again, and even waved the wooden stick, roaring demonstratively!

This immediately made Lu Hong frown. As a time traveler, he naturally knew that these Indian policemen in the British Concession were later called "Indian Red-Headed Ah San" by the Chinese people. The most important thing is that the red on their heads was like a hat. The British chose Indian patrolmen, and they all required that they were big beards like Sikhs, tall and big beards, and a big bearded man... They looked quite scary, but in fact they were still a group of boneless slaves!

"Getout!" Lu Hong finally only threw out this English sentence, as if "get out", it should be a very familiar short sentence for these slave-like Indian Asan.

"Fake Squid..." An Indian policeman led by the head finally came up with something that Lu Hong could understand, and at the same time, he immediately rushed up with a stick.

This made Lu Hong look dark immediately. We didn't use the heavy tone of "**off" to "get out". Unexpectedly, these two Indian hammers took action directly. He did not hesitate at all. He immediately took two steps, sideways avoiding the Indian barbarian's head, and his fists also hit the opponent's chest under the ribs at the same time.

The Indian policemen are used to bullying the Chinese in the concession. They are the loyal guardians of the British. It is said that for their loyalty, the British even paid them twice as much as the Chinese policemen. Reprimanding the Chinese is already a bad habit developed by these Indian policemen!

However, they obviously paid the price for their past and today's evil deeds, and demonstratively prepared to give the two unobedient Chinese people in front of them. However, the stick he swung did not hit the other party at all. Two heavy punches and a very neat elbow immediately made him lie down on the ground like a shrimp.

The other one was swollen from Ouyang Hao's face immediately after being swollen with several coherent punches. When he was angrily ready to resist, he was hit directly on the back of his head by a heavy side kick, and fell down in confusion.

Lu Hong and Ouyang Hao had a quick pace and fought back fiercely. After half a minute, the two Indian policemen, who were tall and mad, looked vicious, lay at the door of the Customs and Taxation Department with their wicked faces. However, this place could attract a group of policemen...
