"Dear friends, today is the day for our official transaction. Excuse me, have you brought your checks?"

Standing on a high place, Philip's face was almost broken with laughter, because the harvest this time was really too huge!

Ever since Cao Kun lifted the ban on Philip, this bastard has increased the price of his goods...that is, opium, several times!

However, this price is still acceptable to drug addicts who have been banned for a long time!

Philip above was waving his arms passionately, and below was a group of people waving checks and transaction contracts!

"Start trading now!"

Following Philip's order, someone immediately started working, checking the contract, confirming the payment, and then delivering the delivery note to the cabin!

Immediately, coolies from the dock and port area started working, delivering boxes of opium to the trucks at the port!

Everything went in an orderly and methodical manner!

Philip looked at the large checks and his back teeth popped out with joy!

Soon, the first owner's goods were loaded. He waved to Philip, then took his men and drove the carriage away!

After he left, someone quickly caught up with him and followed him closely!

At the dock, batches of goods were still being delivered. Finally, after more than half of the goods had been shipped, it was the turn of the conscience of Guangzhou, Wu Qi!

There was not a trace of smile on Wu Qi's face. He handed over a check and a contract with a wooden face!

After confirmation, the goods belonging to Wu Qi were delivered to the cart he brought with him!

Wu Qi did not check either, but gathered all the carts together and unloaded the animals!

Cao Kun was watching everything that was happening here through a telescope not far away, and was still wondering what the conscience of Guangzhou wanted to do.

Suddenly, Cao Kun was shocked and cursed angrily, "This bastard!"

The reason why Cao Kun was so angry was not because of anything else, but because Wu Qi actually lit a torch!

It looked like he was going to set fire to the opium...

Damn, Cao Kun was anxious. If he burned it, wouldn’t everyone in the city be...

"Quick, stop him, don't burn him!"

At the port area, Wu Qi stood proudly beside the vehicle and said passionately, "My compatriots, fellow villagers, although I, Wu Qi, am not a state official, I also know propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame. It has been more than 50 years since Wen Zhong destroyed opium at Humen..."

"However, the morals of the world are deteriorating. Nowadays, there are people who openly sell opium..."

"I have spent all my wealth recently and even ruined my family, but I still want to burn this harmful thing..."

As he said this, he was about to set the cart behind him on fire...

Everyone was stunned by all this, and they all looked at him as if he were fools. Only the laborers who were moving goods looked at the glorious Master Wu with tears in their eyes!

It is worthy of being the conscience of Guangzhou!

Just as the flames were about to engulf the cart and the cargo on it, a gunshot suddenly rang out, accurately knocking the torch out of Wu Qi's hand!

Wu Qi looked up in surprise, and saw a large group of soldiers, armed with rifles, rushing over and arresting everyone present at once!

"Hey, Cao, it's me, Philip, you..."

Philip was tied up and his body was molested again. This time, even his natural weapons would be gone!

After everyone was tied up, the stolen money on the table was collected and counted!

A full 1.5 million bullion pounds, the bullion of the John Bull Empire, hard currency!

"He's really fucking rich!"

He casually swung a handful of checks in his hand and walked up to Wu Qi. Wu Qi did not jump on the rope. On the contrary, the soldiers were very polite to him!

"Look at you, you're not young anymore, why are you so impulsive?"

Cao Kun reprimanded the old gentleman somewhat helplessly.

As an old man over fifty years old, Wu Qi had nothing to be afraid of. He stiffened his neck.

"I'm working for the country, the people, and my fellow countrymen. I'm willing to sacrifice my family's wealth for justice. There's nothing impulsive about it!"

"But you, Governor Cao, as the governor of two provinces, do not think about serving the country and the people, but instead..."

Cao Kun was completely numb. Honey, you are putting such a big accusation on me. This governor can’t stand it!

Governor Cao, who was accused of a big crime, didn't say much to the old corrupt scholar Wu Qi. It was obvious that he had become stupid because of reading too much!

However, this kind of person is still very cute!

"Qin Ping, carry the opium back to where the smoke of gunpowder was, and humanely destroy these things, including those that were transported out before. Don't leave any behind!"

Qin Ping immediately saluted in response, and while he got busy, he also took old man Wu Qi with him!

Watching the boxes of opium being dumped into the sea pit, and then quicklime was added...

Qin Ping couldn't help but complain about Wu Qi.

"Old man, gunpowder is not your method. This is the correct method!"

At this moment, Wu Qi's old face was already red. He was so old. He had sold the tobacco in Wancheng back then. How could he have forgotten the steps and actually thought of starting a fire...

guilt guilt...

"Governor, we have a plan in place. We are just waiting for these criminals to fall into our trap!"

Qin Ping defended his own governor, saying that he couldn't let the governor be branded as an opium trafficker!

Wu Qi could only nod his head, "Yes, yes, the Governor has a far-sighted vision, and I am not as good as him!"

Looking at the opium destruction work that had been prepared long ago, Wu Qi had nothing to say. He could only bow and look up, and praise in unison, "The Governor is wise!"

Wu Qi returned home with a smile. His family had already packed up, including his wife, two sons, daughter-in-law, grandchildren, and a daughter...

"Master, you are back, but have you accomplished something great?"

"Dad, we've packed up and are going back to the countryside. We can still catch up with the farming season..."

Seeing the old man come in happily, everyone in the family thought that he had got what he wanted and they were all happy for him!

But the old man waved his hands and said, "It's not a burn. It was almost there. I would have been a sinner for all eternity!"

Facing the astonishment of the family, the old man told them his story, which made them all break out in a cold sweat. It was a close call, he almost...

At this moment, Qin Ping followed closely behind the old man and came with a small box in his hand!

"Master Wu, this is...?"

Looking at the situation in the house, Qin Ping could confirm that this man was really a man who was willing to sacrifice his family fortune to buy opium to burn... uh... cough...

No comment on this matter for now!

Qin Ping handed the small box in his hand to Wu Qi, "This is given to you by the Governor-General, keep it!"

After saying that, he waved his hand and walked away!

Wu Qi was confused, so he opened the box and saw the Wu family's house deeds, land deeds, checks and silver dollars...

"This is……?"

Wu Qi put down the box and bowed deeply in the direction of the Governor's Office, "My Lord!"

Let’s say, since ancient times, has anything that has entered the public domain been returned?

The next day, early in the morning, the Governor-General's Office posted a notice that at 3:15 p.m., fifty-three people who smuggled and sold opium would be publicly executed at the port!

They are the eighteen blast furnace chickens, led by the blast furnace chicken man Philip Odyssey!

There are also thirty-five illegal businessmen from Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, and Hubei Province!

As soon as the notice from the Governor's Office came out, the entire city of Guangzhou was deserted and everyone rushed to the port area, just to see what the execution of the foreigners would be like.

By the way, since foreigners appeared in the Ancient Dragon Kingdom, when have they ever been punished?

Whether it's right or not, the people of Dragon Country are the ones who get hurt!

"Make way, make way, Mr. Wu is coming!"

The scene at the dock yesterday has spread, and the prestige of this old man Wu Qi has skyrocketed...

As soon as they saw it was him, everyone consciously made way for him!

Not long after, Governor Cao Kun also arrived, with the army leading the way, and behind them were fifty-three death row prisoners who were firmly controlled by handcuffs and shackles!

Cao Kun stood on a specially built platform and personally read out the prisoner's crimes and announced the death sentence!

"Prepare for the artillery attack!"

As soon as they heard the word "cannon punishment", as the name suggests, there was a burst of cheers from the audience!
