Chapter 666 Who dares to challenge the British Empire (3rd update, please subscribe)

Where is this place?

Jacob Sassoon, wearing a black hood, didn't even know what was going on.

Even now he was still a little dazed. He just felt that his face was swollen. It took him a while to figure out why it was burning and painful. He was slapped in the face.

A damned yellow monkey whipped him, dragged him out of the carriage like a chicken, and then slapped him hard a few times, and then what? He was arrested.

Kidnapping!

Almost subconsciously, the thought came to Jacob Sassoon's mind: he was kidnapped!

Do they want money?

"Who are you? You want money, right?"

Jacob Sassoon shouted.

"As long as you let me go, I can give you five..."

He originally wanted to say five hundred thousand, but when the words were on the tip of his tongue, the stingy nature of the Jews made him change his mind.

"Fifty thousand dollars! Enough for you to live for a lifetime!"

50,000 yuan should be a lot. It is enough to make these bandits excited. Of course, this money is just a temporary payment.

After being released, he would protest to the Qing Dynasty through the British consul, saying that it was their bandits who kidnapped and extorted him, and of course they had to pay the money.

Based on his understanding of the Qing Dynasty, they would rather spend money to avoid such troubles. But it was only 50,000 yuan.

No, we will ask them to pay 500,000 yuan at that time.

Thinking of this, Sassoon felt a lot more comfortable. After all, if you think about it this way, being kidnapped actually made him some money.

It’s not such a bad thing actually.

But no one answered him. Why was no one speaking?

Don't they want money?

Just then, he heard footsteps, which were getting closer and closer. When he felt the footsteps approaching him,

"Who are you?"

Jacob Sassoon asked again.

The next moment, the hood was opened, and the light was very dazzling, it was the light of the electric lamp. After he adjusted to the light, he found that the person standing in front of him was the Chinese monkey who slapped him hard, and there was a person standing next to him.

Almost instinctively, he raised his hands to protect his face, it hurt so much!

He had never been beaten like this since he was a child.

"Wow, just a few slaps and you're already reacting!"

Zhang Wenjie said with a smile. This guy has a good memory, but he learned his lesson after being slapped a few times.

"Who are you?"

"Jacob Elias Sassoon!"

Li Chengliang looked at him and said.

"You have been arrested for selling drugs to the Ming Dynasty. You will be brought to the Ming Dynasty to face legal trial!"

What?

Jacob Sassoon was stunned. He looked at these people in astonishment. What were they talking about?

"What, what did you say, I am, I am..."

Jacob Sassoon opened his mouth in astonishment as he realized that these yellow-skinned people... no, the Ming people were not kidding him.

"You, what rights do you have to arrest me? I, I am in the Qing Dynasty. No, I am in the British Concession, and I am British. Damn it, you have no right to arrest me!"

Just as Jacob Sassoon was yelling, Li Chengliang said seriously.

"Wait till you are in court, and then you can talk about your rights. Has the ship arrived yet?"

“We’re already here.”

"Send the prisoner away."

"What about the other person?"

"His assistant is also suspected of drug trafficking. Take him away with him. Use his confession to nail Jacob Sassoon!"

In fact, there is no need for a confession at all, because... the evidence is conclusive, and there is no need for any confession as supporting evidence. After all, they did not cover up anything at all.

Just a few hours later, Jacob Elias Sassoon and Hardoon, two of the leading tycoons in another world, were put on a small boat before they even figured out what was going on. The boat quickly took them to the high seas and onto another large ship.

As they were being taken aboard the ship, Hartung continued to comfort his boss, Jacob Sassoon.

"Boss, don't worry. The British will definitely not turn a blind eye. After they know you've been kidnapped, they will definitely send someone to negotiate."

Negotiation?

Who should I negotiate with?

And the Qing Dynasty?

The kidnapping took place within the concession. According to the rights that the British had argued for in the early years, the Qing Dynasty had no right to interfere in the affairs within the concession, and public security issues within the concession were of course under the jurisdiction of the police station.

The news that Jacob Elias Sassoon, the first tycoon in the British Concession, had been "kidnapped" shocked the entire concession. Just as the British, Indians and Chinese police officers in the police station were busy trying to find out who was so bold as to come to the concession to kidnap people, and when the British consul sent people to question the Haizhou government, Zhang Wenjie and his comrades had already boarded the train back home.

For him, this was just a mission. If necessary, they would continue to arrest drug dealers who sold drugs to the Ming Dynasty from anywhere in the world and then send them back to the Ming Dynasty for trial.

It's nothing but justice.

However, Jacob Sassoon and Hardoon who were imprisoned in the cabin were a little confused. They could not accept all this no matter what. Especially for Jacob Sassoon, as a prisoner in the dark bottom cabin, he cursed all this over and over again.

"Damn it, who do the Ming people think they are? Do they think they can bring me to the Ming for trial? Do they still have international law in their eyes? They have no power at all!"

Jacob Sassoon paced in his cage, muttering to himself,

"Yes, they have no power. When I arrive in the Ming Dynasty, I will hire the best lawyer. Aren't they going to judge me? I want the whole world to see their ugly faces, the Ming Dynasty... damn yellow monkeys, they are just like the Qing people, a bunch of damn barbarians!"

He had even planned it out. When the time came, he would hire the best lawyer and tell them in the court with the sharpest words.

Tell those damn guys that what they are doing is a violation of international public law. How can anyone in this world go to other countries to arrest people from other countries and bring them to their own country for trial?

Never!

"Then the whole world will witness their barbarity. Humph, they will regret it. Regret doing this."

In response to the boss's complaints, Ha Tong just remained silent. What was going on?

Hardong didn't know until now, even though they had reached the sea and were perhaps heading towards the Ming Dynasty, he was still a little confused. This was not what he wanted. Born in poverty, he fled to Mumbai with his parents from Baghdad. In order to survive, he could only make a living by picking up coal at the dock like ordinary Indians. However, he was different from Indians. He was a Jew, so he could study and receive education in a Jewish community school. He came to the Qing Dynasty and Haizhou to make a fortune and change his fate. Just as he expected, in Haizhou, in that "adventurer's paradise", he did see opportunities, opportunities to make a fortune in general.

But oh my God!

How did he get caught?

He has been caught by the people of the Ming Dynasty. Now he will be put on a ship and sent to the Ming Dynasty. He may even be brought to court together with Mr. Sassoon. At that time, how will the Ming Dynasty court judge them?

Unlike Sassoon, who came from a noble family, Hotung came from a humble background, and he knew very well what would happen when he went to the Ming court.

Perhaps the Sassoon family had great influence in Mumbai and Haizhou, but what about in Ming Dynasty? They had no influence at all. In fact, the reason why they dared to come all the way to arrest them was that they were not afraid to send them to court.

What will be the outcome after going to court?

They will all die!

They will all die in the Ming Dynasty!

"Mr. Sassoon, I don't think anyone can save us!"

Hardong said tentatively.

"After all, they brought us to Ming. We have no connections there at all, and they must have been prepared to come all the way here to capture us."

"Damn it, so what?"

Sassoon said indignantly.

"My family will definitely not tolerate them treating me like this!"

After thinking for a while, Sassoon emphasized again.

"The only people my family won't give up on are the British. They won't give up either. They will never allow foreigners to arrest British people on their territory. God can testify that no country in this world dares to challenge the British Empire. Hardoon, believe me, there is no country that dares to challenge the British Empire yet!"
