Lin Zexu rode a blue and white horse through Guangzhou Prefecture with his old servant. What made him particularly sigh was that most of the opium restaurants here were open for business, and people in the capital were still secretly sucking opium, and no one dared to open the opium restaurant publicly.

There are many taboos in the tobacco shop here, just a thick cloth is covered at the door. Outside the door, there are women with heavy makeup to pull you in. Seeing people entering and leaving one by one, they are all withered. In the curtains that are often lifted, you can vaguely see people lying on the couch sucking clouds and fog.

Without the acquiescence of the government, who would dare to be so rampant?

Lin Zexu was very sad about this. He knew that in order to rectify the administration of officials, the emperor has dismissed thousands of donated officials and cut off the resources of the emperor's treasury. However, there are still officials who are not afraid of national laws and do things that are sorry to the country and have no way to treat the people.

When he arrived at He Guo’s mansion, Lin Zexu hid these thoughts, chatted and laughed, and just talked about some romantic things.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, He Guo gradually became more and more popular at the banquet. Seeing that Lin Zexu was not like a saint who was not as good as a worldly sage. He said gracefully: "The first time he arrived in Guangzhou, the mansion lacked a lot of things. The grass-roots people were willing to do their best to help the adults, add a piece of firewood and give them a lot of light to the smooth progress of their official duties."

Lin Zexu laughed and said, "It's easy to say, who doesn't yearn for this kind of wealth and wealth? It's just that a gentleman loves money and gets it well. The boss must not break the rules of the court."

He Guo thought to himself, no one of these officials would say this, but what they did was a different thing. He clapped his hands, and after the sound, several foreign women walked out of the house.

These women have high noses and deep eyes, clear and beautiful outlines, different colors of hair, and all kinds of charm and faces are full of spring.

He Guo was observing Lin Zexu carefully. These women from foreign lands were more coquettish and charming than those of the tiny feet. Most officials could not pass this level and fell into the gentle formation.

After waiting for a while, He Guo's smile became a little embarrassed. Lin Zexu was very comfortable admiring these beauties, with no abnormalities in chatting and laughing. It was like admiring a Chinese painting of ink painting, and occasionally commenting. He Guo, who is used to such occasions, didn't know how Lin Zexu could control himself freely and was not fascinated by these women at all.

He asked tentatively: "If Lord Lin doesn't choose one, do you think these women are not plump enough?"

Lin Zexu smiled and said, "The shopkeeper doesn't have to worry about this. Lin is not a sarcastic heart. Who doesn't love such a beautiful woman in the Western Regions? She is afraid that her eyes are fascinated by the five-colored hair like Emperor Yuan Shun. She doesn't know that all things in the world are the most unsatisfied. As I said, if you only know how to satisfy your eyes, you are afraid that you will never be satisfied."

He Guo clapped his hands and said, "Listen to Lord Lin's words, I will benefit a lot. I am aware of the customs affairs. I am a newcomer and I don't know much about it. In Guangdong and Guangxi, there are few lands and many people. It depends on dealing with foreigners to solve many refugees. If the adults do anything to work hard at the Guangzhou Wharf every day, there are thousands of small workers employed by our thirteen companies. If the adults can give some convenience to the despise, I will be very grateful to Lord Lin, and even if you do a cattle or a horse, you can't repay the adults if you do it."

Lin Zexu was silent for a while and said, "Shopkeeper He was afraid that these people who worked hard to live are not as good as death because Fushou ointment, and died on the street because they had no money to suck. You must know that even rich people cannot resist the infringement of Fushou ointment. How many people who were originally rich lost their fortunes and finally left the streets and even died. Anyone with the slightest compassion, they must not have any entanglement with such things that harm the people. The officials also knew that most of Guangzhou officials and merchants were not involved in this thing, and even if they were involved, they had to be in love." After saying that, Lin Zexu looked at He Guo with bright eyes, and a sense of righteousness arose in his expression. He Guo's face changed several times. He suddenly felt that Lin Zexu was a difficult corner, and a resentment arose in He Guo's heart. These false

The dog officials who are kind and righteous are arrogant on the surface, and they are all greedy in their bones. The former Guangdong Customs Supervisor ate his money. Today, he changed one and wanted to feed him again. He suddenly had an idea that foreigners would store goods at a remote dock outside the city tonight. Why not tell Lin Zexu about this? See his reaction. Is he really want to catch an opium dealer, or he says it nicely and wants to make more money? If he really wants to catch an opium dealer, he will teach the foreigner's iron cannon a lesson. If he can't do it, he will be able to get rid of a disaster. If he is a silver dealer, he will naturally know that the foreign ships are too powerful to avoid it. How dare he catch an opium dealer? If he is a soldier, he will be able to pay more prices at that time, and he will be tame and obedient.

He Guo's heart was ups and downs, but he just smiled embarrassedly. He Guo said obediently for a while: "What Lord Lin said is like thunder and shocking, which makes people reflect. I have been dealing with foreigners for a long time and know some of the behind-the-scenes. Tonight, the foreigners are going to unload goods in Changsha Bay. Why not go to capture these foreigners?"

************************************

After Lin Zexu came back from He Guo's house, he was thinking about this all the way. He Guo obviously colluded with the opium foreign merchants. Today's situation was obviously that He Guo wanted to bribe him, but how could He Guo tell him that the foreign opium ship was going to unload the goods? He felt that there was something strange about this. If He Guo was lying, it was not a favorable thing for He Guo. If he obviously confessed himself, it would not be something that a smart person like He Guo was willing to do unless He Guo didn't want to stay in the Heavenly Kingdom. After thinking about it, Lin Zexu decided to investigate the matter.

Lin Zexu was determined to immediately arrive at the mansion of Li Hongbin, the governor of Huguang. At that time, Guangzhou General Yihao happened to be a guest at Li Hongbin's mansion. After the three of them greeted each other, Lin Zexu explained to Li Hongbin in the future that Guangzhou General Yihao would take the initiative to assist Lin Zexu in handling the matter after hearing the news.

Lin Zexu thought about it and said goodbye to Li Hongbin and went to the General's Mansion. When he arrived at the General's Mansion, Yi Hao completed the procedures and sent a deputy general and Lin Zexu to the back street of the Navy.

The "Navalent Flag Camp" faces the Pearl River. A ten-meter-high city wall is built into a circular shape, with a city tower on the top of the city wall, a flagpole next to the city tower, and a yellow dragon flag on the flagpole. The camp is under the overlook of the dragon flag. The Navy Flag Camp was originally established in the 11th year of Qianlong. It was first established in Fenghuanggang on the south bank of the Pearl River, and later moved here due to the changes in Guangzhou City.

The navy had more than 600 officers and soldiers, not many warships, and there were 2 larger stern ships, each with 4 50 soldiers, 4 oars, 20 to 30 people, and there were also a few small boats, with a total of 14 warships of all sizes. There was also a boat, seven twenty to five feet long and five feet wide, which was probably the "flagship".

This navy unit practices swimming, gun shooting, mast climbing and other skills on the Pearl River.

The weapons used by the navy were rattan cards and sharp blades in the early stages, and later there were bird guns and guns, which were very behind. The ship was equipped with pig iron cannons, 13 each of the turtle dove cannons, 6 of the ripe iron river pond cannons, and 15 of the ripe iron sand. The warships they control were all driven by human rowing or wind utilizing it.
