Chapter 76: The Army of Justice
Luo Jiu waved his hand, "That's not what I meant. We don't want filial piety. We pull up the mountaintops in order to level them. We fight for this position not to oppress our compatriots, but to have no oppression. You will understand later."
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and an old man couldn't help but remind them, "But boss, even if you don't accept our tribute, the foreigners will still ask you to pay tribute. This has always been the rule in Liverpool, so you'd better accept it."
Luo Jiu said in a loud voice: "What rules? We are here to change the rules."
"That's right." Feng Qi also said, "This is your money, take it back. We won't take it, and I won't let my men take it. From today on, whoever takes your money, come and tell me, and I'll punish him."
Everyone was delighted and bowed to express their gratitude. "Thank you, First Boss, thank you, Second Boss, and thank you, the female Bodhisattvas."
The four of them looked at each other and felt sorry for this group of people. Others shouldn't exploit them, but in their opinion, those who didn't exploit them were equal to Bodhisattvas.
Everyone was waiting in the dormitory for dinner when Fan Shuner came in with a smile on her face. "Boss, guys, I've talked to the officers here and you can move to the girls' dormitory. You don't have to do anything. The Sixth and Seventh Brothers and I will help you move."
Feng Qi glanced at the bed and said, "There's nothing there. We can just go over there. Lao Wu, I have something to tell you."
Feng Qi told him the latest rules, and Fan Shuner was stunned for a moment, "Ah? I can't accept any... any tribute at all? I can do that, but brothers..."
Feng Qi patted him on the shoulder, using both kindness and force, "I won't make you suffer, you can rest assured if you follow me. But if you follow me, you must abide by the rules."
Fan Shuner immediately said obediently, "I will definitely abide by the rules. Don't worry, Boss. I will pass it on. Anyone who dares not to listen will be the first to be punished."
The four moved to the girls' dormitory, but found that several people were missing from the room.
"Where is Zhu Jiumei?" Luo Jiu asked, "Where are Huirong and Lanqin?"
One girl bit her lip and answered hesitantly: "They were eating bread secretly and were found by the white maids. They are being beaten now."
Zhong Jialing was shocked. "Oh no! I told my ninth sister yesterday that this kind of dry bread is not delicious, it has to be soft. Could she have stolen the soft bread prepared for Colonel Jones's family?
Oh my! Why can't these kids control their mouths? "
The four of them hurried to the kitchen, but by the time they arrived, they had already been beaten.
After beating the three children, the old white woman was exhausted and panting, so she turned around and went back to the house.
Only the three little girls were left lying on the ground, dying, their bodies covered with blood from the whip.
"Ninth sister!"
"Hui Rong!"
"Lanqin!"
After the four of them called them for a long time, they finally opened their eyes. They carried them back to the dormitory, fed them some water, and the children finally woke up.
Luo Jiu frowned and couldn't help but scolded: "I know you are hungry, but we are under someone's roof now and have to bow our heads. If you steal their food, you will be beaten to death if you are found."
Zhu Jiumei nodded weakly, "I know."
Cheng Yaoyao said angrily, "You knew it and still stole it? You were lucky this time, what if I really beat you to death next time?"
Zhu Jiumei held back two bags of tears and bit her lip, "Actually, we are not hungry, and we haven't eaten."
The four of them were stunned. “What do you mean?”
Zhu Jiumei unbuttoned her clothes and took out two flattened loaves of bread from her collar, “We gave them to you. If you don’t eat, you’ll starve to death.
My sister died because she didn’t eat, and I don’t want you to die too.”
Huirong and Lanqin also took out the bread they had hidden close to their bodies. They didn't know that this thing couldn't be pressed, but they were afraid that it would be snatched away, so they held it tightly in their arms.
No matter how hard he was beaten, he pretended to have finished eating, and finally he got through it.
Zhu Jiumei wiped the dirt off and handed it to Zhong Jialing, "Sister Jialing, you said this is delicious, don't be picky, eat it quickly, otherwise you will really starve to death."
Zhong Jialing took the bread hesitantly, tears flowing uncontrollably.
She took a light bite and realized that she had never eaten such disgusting bread. However, she felt that it was the most precious and unique bread in the world.
The children stuffed the bread into their hands, and Luo Jiu realized that the bread was still hot. The freshly-baked bread was hidden close to their bodies. Luo Jiu pulled open their lapels and found that a piece of it was indeed burned red.
Luo Jiu didn't know what to say for a moment. He just held the children's small bodies in his arms and secretly vowed: he must give them a good life.

After dinner, Fan Shun came over again and said, "Boss, we are now stronger than ever before, shouldn't we have a new name?"
Feng Qi looked up at the sky and said, "It should be possible, but it's such a big deal, we need to study it."
Feng Qi turned around and looked for Luo Jiu, "What should we call our team?"
Luo Jiu was applying medicine to the children and said without even looking up: "Call the National Rescue Team."
Feng Qi: "Okay, I'll go tell them."
"Wait a minute," Luo Jiu suddenly stopped her, "Did I forget to tell you that you were really awesome today? You helped us to open up the situation right away, so that we can stand firm here. This achievement was earned by your punches and kicks."
Feng Qi scratched his head in embarrassment, "Why are you talking about this? If I don't have some skills, can I still conquer the world with you?"
"We conquer the world together."
"Um."
Luo Jiu thought for a moment and added: "We are going to accomplish the great cause of overthrowing imperialism together, for the people and the country."
"For the people and the country." The two men held hands tightly. Feng Qi smiled and let go, then turned to find Fan Shuner and asked him to convey the new name.
The National Salvation Team sounds like an army of justice.
Fan Shuner squatted outside the dormitory. After listening to Feng Qi's explanation, he couldn't help but speak up, "Boss, there is something I think I have to tell you."
"explain."
"Don't get too attached to these girls. They will be sold off soon. In the past, the girls we bought were taken away and sold off within a few days. Not to mention them, you... also have to be careful."
Feng Qi's face darkened, "Wait a moment."
She called Luo Jiu over to discuss the matter together.
Luo Jiu was not surprised. She had read similar historical materials and had some understanding of these things. She asked Fan Shun, "Who is responsible for this matter?"
Fan Shun said: "Colonel Jones is the boss here. He is in charge of all matters related to human trafficking."
"How are they?"
"Not very good, a typical white man with eyes in the sky, we can't even talk to him. We Chinese can only get along with low-level officers like Andre and Will, but we can't speak the language. To put it bluntly, we just pay them some tribute from time to time. Senior officers like Jones don't think highly of us at all."
Luo Jiu nodded, "Where is Jones? When will he show up?"
"He hasn't shown up for a few days. I heard his daughter is seriously ill." Fan Shun'er said, glancing towards the square. "Oh, that's Colonel Jones's car."
"Let's go, I'll go meet him." Luo Jiu walked straight towards Colonel Jones's car.
Fan Shuner was horrified, "Oh my god, you can't do that. He's been unhappy these days, don't go and get in his way. Besides, you can't even speak bird language!"
Before he finished speaking, he heard Luo Jiu say in standard English: "Colonel Jones, may I bother you for a few minutes?"
