Hioki was about to refuse, and said: "I still need to find out about this matter as soon as possible. I don't think I'll go. The affairs of the merchants were always too chaotic and difficult to handle. I also need information on the consular investigation. "

Hearing Hioki's proclamations that the culprit was a merchant, Zhu Erdian retorted, "Mr. Hioki, please do not lie about the merchant. The culprit is the spies from Black Dragon Society that you have planted in this place. Everyone knows what you do in China. Don't think that no one else knows. Your intentions and intentions have long been exposed to the world. In order to monopolize China on your own, since last autumn, you have been coveting the interests of all countries in China, taking advantage of the Great Western War. You have placed secret services in China, dispatched many trained secret services, and carried out all kinds of espionage activities against China and our other empires. You agents, now that you have killed our men, how can you call them merchants? What do you mean your government doesn't know? What a ridiculous excuse! It's obviously the result of you carefully grooming and imparting knowledge to these people! I also tell you clearly that if you do not take this matter seriously and resolve it reasonably, you will not be given an apology. Our British Empire will never let this go! " The more Zhu Erdian said, the angrier he got.

Hioki was even more unyielding, and said: "Sir, please do not spread rumors and separate our relations with China and other countries. You are very angry at the fact that our Japanese empire can now interact amicably with all other countries. How do you know we have secret services in China? What evidence do you have? They are obviously framing us! I protest to you! "

Zhu Erdian thought: "If a person doesn't care about face, then he doesn't care about face. Look, he was the first to complain. He even dared to retort and protest. See how I make you honestly speechless! " That was it: a single strike at the top, strong and powerful, short and short at once defeated the inferior.

Zhu Erdian said: "Okay, if you really want me to say it, then it's fine. Tomorrow, I will gather all the ministers and consuls to go to the Chinese government for a meeting. At that time, you and I will be able to speak at the meeting. Let them and the Chinese officials hear how I falsely accused you Japanese and made rumors about you. Justice is in the hearts of the people, and they will judge it for us. I will hold a press conference to answer their questions in public. What do you think, sir? Are you still protesting? "

Hioki knew his weakness, and was afraid that he would be exposed, so he immediately softened and said: "Mr. Zhu Erdian, don't push this matter too far, for such a small matter. The Japanese have, and I will not relent. When I go back, I catch them and pay for their lives. Because of my tedious work, I seldom pay attention to their affairs and do not understand the situation. It's not worth it to hurt our feelings with a small fight over a small matter. Originally, this was a common occurrence. Didn't I say that? "

Hearing that, Zhu Erdian sarcastically said: "I really admire Mister's eloquence, a wise and tactful person! No matter what, you can't leave. You must come with me to see the scene. " Hioki was indeed speechless.

At this time, the French, Austrian, and Dutch ministers also took a seat and pretended to resolve the conflict to watch the commotion. They asked the Russian minister for information, and then they all laughed. The Russian Minister said from there, "Mr. Hioki, I see that you two, Mr. Minister, should also go and take a look at the scene. It would be rude of the Chinese to let Chinese officials always stand guard for you and not go there for a long time. We, the ambassadors, are willing to accompany you. When the time came, they could negotiate and find a reasonable way for both sides to settle this matter. "Why are you guys fighting here?"

The French minister laughed and said, "That is what we are all here for. Things have to be resolved. " However, he thought to himself: "When we get to the scene, there will definitely be a good show for you, Hioki."

The Minister of the Netherlands and the Minister of the Arcana also said, "Watching the scene is the first step to solving the problem. "All of you, stop arguing and prepare to set off." We thought it would be reasonable, first of all, to do so through a notary. "

When Hioki heard this, he let him go to the scene and said helplessly, "I am very happy to have you few ambassadors stand in the way for us. Thank you! Then let's go and take a look together, and not compete here anymore. "

Thus, the ambassadors of the various countries got on separate carriages, each with their own bodyguards. The British and Japanese ambassadors, side by side, left the Russian embassy and walked along the alley of the eastern suburbs towards the public security street. It was true: the people dragged their horses, not the snakes. Each of them had their own worries, but all of them had their own bitterness and happiness. Zhu Erdian was worried and resentful.

As the carriage of the envoys of the six nations left, they suddenly saw the Patrol in front of them looking at the corpses on the street and blocking their way. Hioki, Zhu Erdian got off the car and took a closer look. There were three dead men in Chinese clothes lying in the middle of the road. Hioki already knew in his heart, and thought to himself: "This must be Japanese. These people had been so slow, and had even chased them here to fight. It's really useless! " Everyone looked at his reaction. Hioki pretended to be calm, and wanted to hide the awkward scene in front of him, so he intentionally asked the soldiers beside him: "What happened? "Who are these corpses?"

The Austrian Inspector wanted to say: Three Japanese were killed here by the British. He suddenly saw Zhu Erdian by his side, and changed his words, "Ahhh, look at the clothes, it was three Chinese people who died here. Not long ago, we heard that a group of people had chased them here. We followed. So they were a gang of gangsters. The culprit is a group of people who are very cunning. They have all escaped.

Zhu Erdian didn't think much of it and guessed: "This must be a Japanese person killed by the British." Feeling relieved, he said, "Move it over. "Don't let them stand in our way." The soldiers watched for a while, then dragged a few bodies and dragged them to the side of the road. Hioki, Zhu Erdian and the other envoys from the six nations got on the car and continued to drive towards the mosque.

So these three corpses were Du Bian and his two accomplices. The three of them were killed by and Yi Jie.

As for Pu Xianyijie, he chased after Du Bian. Shorty was shouting nonstop in front of them. The two followed the voice and hurried, but were unable to catch up. The two chased each other all the way to Chong Wen Men Street, where there were lights shining on both sides of the street. Only then did the duo see the silhouette in front of them. Seeing the Shorty running in front in a panic, Du Bian and the other two were not far behind as they turned around and entered Chong Wen Gate. One of them said, "I can finally see Du Bian's figure. We can't let him escape! " The two of them followed him and entered Chong Wen Sect. The Imperial patrolmen, hiding in the shadows, thought it was the Japanese running past, and they all lined up again, taking their time to see what the result was.

Pu Xianyijie heard Shorty running along Public Security Street while shouting, "Come quickly! Help! Japanese spies killed people! "

The two of them travelled a distance, and from the sound of their voices, it seemed as though they had travelled quite a distance. Pu Xianyijie stopped and sized them up, seeing that Shorty and Du Bian had entered the eastern suburbs. The two of them continued their chase until they saw something dark on the ground. Stop and look: hats, shoes, swords. Pu Xian said: "They are all fighting with their lives. After throwing away all these things, he only had time to run faster. These were all indispensable parts of a person's body. After a while, regardless of whether Du Bian and the others killed Shorty or not, they had to come back and find him. Let's not touch his things. " After saying that, he made a pincer movement.

Jie immediately understood, "That's right, we'll be guarding here, there's no need to chase after us." The camera killed them when they came back for something. "

Pu Xian said: "Don't be in such a hurry to guard this place, let's go a step further and see what happens next. It's not too late to come back and defend. " However, from the sound of it, Du Bian and the others were already far away. Pu Xianyijie chased after him for a distance after hearing the faint sound again. The two of them were rushing over when they saw another pile of clothes on the ground. Pu Xian stopped to take a closer look and saw that it was all their clothes. Pu Xian muttered: "Why did the number of people chasing Shorty become four? Or is the Shorty's clothes also inside? "

One of them looked carefully and said, "This one belongs to Shorty. Why are they put together? " The two didn't understand what he meant. Pu Xian looked at the surroundings again and said, "Right in front of us is the envoy area. Let's not go any further. " The two of them whispered a bit before hiding behind a tree on the side of the road.

Not long later, they heard that Du Bian and the others had returned. Someone said, "Carefully, I remember that it's not far from here." Another person said, "It's far away. While you two were running away, I gathered all your clothes together and made a large pile, which was very eye-catching. "It's easy to see." Hearing that it was Du Bian and the rest, the two of them were secretly happy and prepared.

The two of them looked up and saw three figures walking over side by side. The sound of their footsteps weren't loud. Someone suddenly saw his clothes and cried out in alarm, "Du Bian, look! Isn't that …?"

Thanks to the foreigners," said Du, "they are well off and their clothes have not been taken away. If it had been a Chinese residential area, the items would have been taken away long ago. " As the three of them spoke, they had already arrived. He grabbed the little man's clothes and looked at them. Throwing it quite far away, he said, "These are the clothes of a midget." Why did you put his with ours? " That person said, "Collect them into a pile. It's so big that it's easy to find.

The three of them chose their own clothes and wore them while chatting. Du Bian said: "We messed up tonight's matter. It's a good thing that I managed to arrange the shop properly when I arrived. These Western dogs are not easy to deal with, they actually let them run away with three top priority. "

One of them asked: "Du Bian Jun, where are we going back to?" Du Bian said: "Our Guandi Temple has also been plundered by the Shorty. I have nowhere to stay. With so many people outside, it would be difficult for them to find a place to rest for the time being. I will have to go with you to the monastery to hide myself. " He sighed again, "How dare you not bow your head under a low roof. Once we get there, I'll ask Yama Takashi how he plans for us to go about doing things. "

Another person said worriedly, "Du Bian Jun, I don't think you can go there. Just run away. Yama Takashi and Shan Kou had given their final orders. Let's kill them all. Now there were three of them, and they had alarmed the embassy and caused a great disaster. If you go and see them, they will inevitably send you to your death. "

Du Bian said angrily: "Ever since I came to China, I have contributed quite a bit and contributed a lot. This was the first time something had gone wrong. They should forgive me. Since I haven't killed the Shorty yet, I don't want to die. " That person said: "Don't forget, you and Yama Takashi have never been on good terms with each other. It's hard to say whether or not he can spare you. "

Du Bian continued, "Don't be afraid, you won't be punished. They've punished me alone. Don't be as casual and humble as you are around me. When we get back to the hack shop later, it'll still be our world. " The man sighed: "Du Bian Jun, don't think about us. We care about you. If you have any good ideas, say them as soon as possible, and we'll listen to you. "
