    Lin Hongzhong hid in the city like a mouse for a day, but did not wait for reinforcements from the government.

    When it got dark, the old shopkeeper finally came back.

    "What took you so long? Where is the official you are looking for?" Lin Hongzhong has messy hair and is wearing the coarse clothes of a clerk. How can he still have the style of a Yangcheng boss?

    "Alas." The old shopkeeper sighed and shook his head.  "My boss, there's no hope. The case has alarmed the governor, and no one in the government or county dares to get involved."

    "What the hell is this?" Lin Hongzhong stamped his feet anxiously. He also asked his guards to inquire today, but there were so many different opinions that he didn't know who to believe.

    "That's what happened" The old shopkeeper finally found out the whole story.  "Early this morning, a merchant named Jia went to the Panyu County Yamen to complain, saying that a red-haired ghost insulted his daughter last night. The girl couldn't bear the humiliation and jumped into the water to commit suicide. Please arrest the murderer!"

    "When he reported for office, he cried and beat the drums all the way, so it made a lot of noise and there were many people watching. The old parents knew that Lin Zhongcheng hated the red-haired ghost very much, so they didn't dare to neglect him, so they quickly issued cards and took people."  Then he said: "Captain Liu led a group of detectives to Fo Langjiren's old lock ship and asked the merchants to identify them one by one. In the end, they couldn't find them after looking around."

    "But Capt. Liu compared the list reported by the Franco pilots when they entered the customs, and found that there was indeed a missing Franco pilot named 'Londick'. The captain had people search the whole ship but couldn't find it. He also stuffed the benefits. Liu  The leader planned to close the team. But the crowd watching the excitement on the shore was not over. Someone who killed a thousand swords said that Wuyangtong Commercial Hall must have hidden the red-haired ghost! Those people came to our commercial store.  ¡­¡±

    "You're on the street, why are there red-haired people in my store?!" Hearing this, Lin Hongzhong felt relieved. It seems that he has been affected, so the problem should not be big.  "Now they are burning and searching, so you should feel relieved now, right?"

    "They are all over the street now looking for you, Boss." But the old shopkeeper shook his head and said: "The homes of several shareholders have been smashed, Boss must not show up."

    "Huh?" Lin Hongzhong's mouth asked: "Why?!"

    "Because they found that Langdick from our store." The old shopkeeper said with a sad face.

    "How is it possible?!" Lin Hongzhong jumped to his feet and said, "If it doesn't exist, it doesn't exist. How can it be created out of thin air?!"

    "But they found him and made him confess on the spot." The old shopkeeper also looked like he had seen a ghost and said: "He said that he insulted the girl on impulse after drinking. He didn't expect that the girls of the Ming Dynasty could be so strong.  He jumped into the water and committed suicide. He was afraid that he would be handed over by the captain when he returned to the ship, so he ran to our store and asked the boss for help. The boss patted his chest and said"

    Having said this, the old shopkeeper swallowed his saliva and stopped.

    "Tell me, what did I say?" Lin Hongzhong laughed angrily: "How would I know if you don't tell me?"

    "He said that my boss said that he has great hands and eyes, and all the officials in the county, government, and province will listen to you. So just stay in peace and wait for the storm to pass, and then send him back to Macau." The old shopkeeper whispered: "Also  He said that the most despicable thing in the Ming Dynasty is the lives of ordinary people. As long as the government gives some money, there will be no injustice"

    "Haha, this is the truth, but when the hell did I tell him this?!" Although Lin Hongzhong was smiling, his smile was extremely scary.  He suddenly raised his voice and shouted: "The Yan family shovel! I've never seen that useless guy, Langdick!"

    "Yes, from last night to this morning, not a single red-haired ghost came to the store." Of course the old shopkeeper knew that he was telling the truth, but the problem was that others didn't know.  "Boss, why does that red-haired ghost want to slander us?"

    "None of the damn red-haired ghosts can speak Chinese." Lin Hongzhong understood immediately.  "Aren't you just letting the person who framed me talk nonsense? Where is he now? Don't let him die!"

    Leader Lin is keenly aware that Langdick is the key to clearing his name.

    "He was beaten to death by the crowd" the old shopkeeper shrank his neck and said: "Those mobs hung his body on a bamboo pole, and went to the governor's office to ask for orders, demanding severe punishment for the red-haired barbarians and banning them from entering the Ming Dynasty's land again.  step!"

    "This is their real purpose!" Hall Master Lin snorted coldly, completely regained his composure and said, "I have already guessed who is causing trouble."

    "Who?" The old shopkeeper was puzzled.

    "Jiangnan Group!" Lin Hongzhong gritted his teeth and spoke every word.  "They want to kill me!"

    But besides anger, there is more fear.

    A few days ago, he didn¡¯t even notice any trace of Jiangnan Group¡¯s activities in Guangzhou City.

    In addition to Chaozhou Prefecture, Jiangnan GroupLess than a mile away, there is a high city wall with a gate in the center and Portuguese-style watchtowers with round spires on both sides of the door. Standing in the watchtowers are fully armed Franco machine musketeers.

    Within the city walls is Macau, which was fraudulently occupied by the Portuguese.

    On weekdays, this gate is open, and people are willing to push carts and carry burdens to do some small business in Macau.  The red-haired ghost is easy to fool, and sailors are big spenders. No matter what kind of business they do, they can always make more money than in the county.  Therefore, this is the only way in and out of Macau from land, and there is always an endless stream of people during the day.

    The number of people gathered here today is ten times more than usual.  But they are not here to buy or sell today.  But to settle accounts with the red-haired ghost.
