Struggle in Russia

Ke Hong can also be regarded as a cunning and cunning man, and instinctively realized that there was something wrong with Li Xiao's identity. It's just that what he didn't expect was that Li Xiao's identity was so special, he wasn't French at all, and he probably couldn't think of this even if he tried his best.

It was also because of this that although he urged the British embassy in France to verify Li Xiao's identity, he was not in a hurry, because he felt that he had basically figured out the identity of a certain person, and what was lacking was only a confirmation.

If he had worked a little harder and pushed harder, things might have turned out a little bit differently, but missed opportunities are missed forever, and history doesn't give you chances to regret.

But Li Xiao is different. He knows Ke Hong well, so he just goes all out and doesn't hold back.

"This old fox really opened its mouth like a lion!"

After listening to Jan Constantine's report, Li Xiao also sneered, and he couldn't believe a word of Kehong's nonsense. But it had nothing to do with him, anyway, what he sent was just bait, and the more delicious Kehong ate, the happier he was.

"Give him the money and see what tricks he has behind him!"

Following Li Xiao's instructions, Jan Constantine's people naturally donated huge sums of money to Kehong with both hands, which made Kehong regret and feel distressed: "The price has been lowered, and these Wallachian bastards are still Really rich!"

Kehong was naturally distressed when the price was low, so he immediately ordered: "Talk to them again, the last payment was for political asylum, and the next step is to help them transfer their property, which involves taxes and other things. Money, these are not free, if you want to ensure the safety of your property, you have to pay!"

Ke Hong's subordinates were stunned immediately, because there was no precedent for this. They used to do things with a fixed price. Why did they suddenly have taxes and other fees? The British Empire does not seem to be so powerful that it collects the personal income tax of foreign citizens in foreign countries, right?

But they didn't dare to ask in detail, because Kehong's temper is not good. Besides, it's the Wallachian's oil and water. A little more is not, why not do it?

Soon, under Li Xiao's instruction, the fat sheep who were eager to escape from Wallachia contributed an extra income to Kehong. The degree of happiness made Kehong even more heartbroken, thinking that the fat sheep who had sheltered before were really It's sold cheap.

"We have to learn a lesson, we can't be polite to these Wallachia bastards, and the related expenses can be increased by 20%! Even 30% is okay!"

This time, the butcher's knife in Kehong's hand was sharpened to a brilliant degree, and he really wanted to kill people without showing any blood.

What's more interesting is that Cohon's slashing and killing even affected Perrier's business. During the chat with Li Xiao, the consul general lamented: "It's still the British who make money hard!"

However, this money is not so easy to earn. Because Li Xiao quickly locked on two of Ke Hong's most important confidantes - Frank Charlton and Michael Woodward.

One of these two people is the third secretary of the British Consulate General in Wallachia, and the other is the commercial representative of the British Balkan Trading Company in Wallachia. One light and one dark are fully responsible for making money.

Li Xiao smiled and asked, "Frank Charlton is in charge of providing political asylum documents, and Michael Woodward is in charge of collecting the money, right?"

Jan Constantine nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, based on what I know about the bait and my personal relationship, this is probably the case."

Li Xiao nodded and asked, "Then who do you think the account book should be in the hands of these two people?"

Jan Constantine thought for a while and replied: "Michael Woodward is more likely. After all, he is responsible for collecting money, and there must be relevant accounts, otherwise there is no way to explain it to Ke Hong."

Li Xiao nodded again, before he could speak, Jan Constantine added: "However, this Frank Charlton is not a simple role, and his role in it is also very important, it seems that Ke Hong My sister's son..."

Li Xiao laughed, always saying that nepotism in China is strong, but in fact, nepotism in the West is even stronger. The same is cronyism, but the West is democratic, free and tall, but China is privately giving and receiving secret operations. But if you look around these Western politicians, which one is not a relative or friend? It's just that the packaging is better, and it's easy to fool Xiaobai who doesn't know the truth.

So Li Xiao ordered naturally: "Then invite these two to come over and ask them carefully! Anyway, it's either Frank or Michael, they can't escape!"

Jan Konstantin was taken aback. The sentence he added just now was just for insurance, in case something goes wrong so that he can shirk responsibility. Who would have thought that Li Xiao would be so domineering, he wouldn't bother to make a choice at all, and directly came to kill, this is to make a big deal!

Anyway, Jan Constantine was very upset, because the British were really not easy to mess with, and they were targeting Kehong's henchmen. If it got out, it would shake the earth!

It's just that Jan Constantine was a little early to be afraid, because Li Xiao's next words directly frightened him, and Li Xiao said slowly: "Choose a few of the other employees of the British Consulate General. , and caught them together! The British merchants also picked a few, too!"

Jan Konstantin swallowed hard, he could understand why Li Xiao did this, it was nothing more than fooling around. After all, catching Frank and Michael alone is too conspicuous, even a fool can see that they are going for Ke Hong, and catching a few more Englishmen mixed with sand will not be so conspicuous, so that Ke Hong will not be too vigilant.

It's good to do so, but the matter is really too big. Anyway, Jan Constantine feels that his small shoulders can't bear it. Once exposed, the British will definitely sacrifice him to the flag!

So he cautiously persuaded: "Isn't this too... too much fanfare? The British are holding back evil fire to catch Sir Thomas Edwards and make a big fuss. If a large number of British citizens go missing, I'm afraid it's not easy to explain!"

Li Xiao smiled: "As you said, no matter what, the British will not let go of you. It doesn't make any difference if there is more or less. What's more, if you do it smartly, you can find a suitable target to get rid of the matter." Get over it!"

Jan Constantine twitched when he heard it. What is a suitable target for planting? Don't you want to make the hint more obvious? Isn't it implying that Lao Tzu planted the blame on Russia and the pro-Russian faction in Wallachia!

But this time Jan Constantine really thought wrong, Li Xiao didn't mean that, his method was more complicated...
