Xinshun 1730

Chapter 575 Another Kind of Fantasy
After being dragged into the house, Cai Shiwu wasn't too scared, he just died.

The two officers followed Cai Shiwu, probably because Cai Shiwu was swearing and cursing just now, and the two officers wanted to make him suffer a little bit, so the hands on his shoulders were extremely hard.

Liu Yu dragged a chair and sat down, and asked straight to the point: "Do you believe in foreign religion? Do you work together, do you believe in a lot? Do you preach among the miners?"

Cai Shiwu snorted coldly and said, "The imperial envoy will kill you if you want to, and cut you to pieces if you want to. If you expect me to betray others, the imperial envoy should be spared. If I beg for mercy for every good thing in an official, I will not be a good man."

Liu Yu laughed and said, "It can be seen that when you were in Huizhou Mansion, you were oppressed by the collusion of the officials and gentry? You don't trust the imperial envoys of the court. Why, I have never seen the imperial envoys and the eight palaces patrolling Qingtian. A play in which the elder is in charge of the people?"

He didn't ask Cai Shiwu what he had experienced in Huizhou Mansion, but he could make a good guess.The form may be different, but the essence is not much different. In Wendeng, I have seen tens of thousands starved to death, and I have seen gold mines linked to the government. Sometimes the things at the bottom are far beyond the rich imagination.

Cai Shiwu really didn't believe Liu Yu's words at all, he raised his head and kept his neck stuck and didn't say a word.

"If you don't say it, then you have faith. The newcomers in the past few years must have come from Macau."

Cai Shiwu, who was still holding his head up and determined not to say a word, felt a little strange, thinking that he was going to shoot himself?Why did you ask about Macau?

It is true that some of the people who worked together were from Macau, and there were indeed some who secretly preached, but that man was also a good man, literate, and it is rumored that he was selected as a scholar at the beginning, but was dismissed because of his religious beliefs.He is a hero who is bold and righteous, and he will die when he dies, so he can't do such a thing of betraying a hero.

Thinking about it again, I thought, could it be that the imperial envoy is not looking for me?But the imperial court banned religion, and came here to find those missionaries?

Thinking of this, I made up my mind more and more, and didn't say a word.The only way is to die, if you implicate others before you die, you will poke people's backs, you will lose your reputation, you are not a good man.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Liu Yu knew it.If not, definitely say no.This kind of questioning without answering obviously exists, and it seems that he still has a good reputation. Otherwise, if there is a contradiction or something, he would have said it directly.

Pointing to the chair next to him, motioned for him to sit down.

Cai Shiwu was not polite on the face, and sat on the chair generously.Although Xindao said that before death, according to the rules, there is a meal of decapitation, but I have never heard of such a pleasant face. This is to lure me to talk, so I will not say it.You let me sit, and I will sit, but if you want to ask a key question, you don't answer a word.

Liu Yu on the opposite side took out a pack of cigarettes, took one for himself, and threw the rest over.

He lit a match by himself. Cai Shiwu, who saw the match for the first time, looked surprised, but didn't ask any more questions. He struck it hard like Liu Yu. After all, it was the first time he used a match and broke the match directly. Not lit.

The officer beside him smiled, seeing that Liu Yu's attitude didn't look like he was going to kill him, so he helped to draw a cigarette and lit a Weihai cigarette.

After taking two puffs, Liu Yu stood up, walked behind Cai Shiwu, and patted Cai Shiwu on the shoulder.Just as Cai Shiwu was about to turn his head, he held him down and turned back.

This feeling of not being able to see other people's expressions made Cai Shiwu very uncomfortable.Although he is a Lianjiazi, the officers around him have big arms and round waists, obviously they were killed from the mountain of corpses in the sea of ​​blood. The most important thing is that the officers have short guns pinned to their waists. Cai Shiwu also knew that no matter how hard his fists were, he couldn't beat the muskets, so he had to endure it. I can't help but feel itchy to look back.

The voice came slowly from behind.

"It is true that I am not here today to investigate cases and hear grievances like the stories in the drama. I have no control over the affairs here. This is no longer the Old Port Propaganda Department, and the court has no control over this place. I just ask casually. In a few words, how are you guys living here? You can always talk about it, right? "

Cai Shiwu thought to himself, what can't be said?
"A dog lives like a dog. What else can it do? One person dies in three to five days. It's too hot here, and it's easy to get sick. You have to rely on people to go down the well and drain the water. A strong man can last for five or six years, and most of them will become opium." It's a ghost, and it's not far from death."

"Do you eat a lot of opium?"

"Master Imperial Envoy has never worked, nor has he been in a mine. Carrying ore in the mine for a day, and working for three to five years, my whole body hurts. The pain is so bad that I can't straighten my waist. Come here at this time, stop the pain, and continue working. Work. I owe a lot of money to the mine owner, if I don’t work, I will die, if I don’t get some opium to stop the pain, how can I work?”

"Everyone has an amount that must be completed every day. If you don't take opium, you can't stop your backache and backache. What should you do if you can't finish it? Or if you get sick, you can stop the pain by eating some. You have to work if you are alive. You know If you eat too much of that stuff, or if you eat it for a long time, you will die. But if you die sooner or later, you always choose to die later, right? It’s better to die than to live.”

"It's better to die than to live?" A rhetorical question came from behind, which sounded a little mocking.

"It's better to die than to live. This is not what a hero should say. Didn't you think you would bring your brothers to have a big fight?"

Cai Shiwu, who was a little dizzy from being asked, came to his senses with a thud, and the question really hit the key point in his heart, so he immediately shut up.

But I said in my heart, do a game?Of course I'm going to have a fight.If it weren't for you, the eagle dogs of the imperial court, we would have done it.

Sooner or later, he will die, either from exhaustion, or from eating too much opium and turning into a ghost, so it is better to fight.Even if you die, have a good time before you die.

When he bowed his head and said nothing, Liu Yu appeared in front of him like a ghost with a smile on his face.

"Okay, I can see that you are indeed going to do something. But you have to figure out one thing. What is the purpose of making trouble? What kind of result do you want to achieve?"

"As long as the family has three or five acres of land, it is estimated that it is impossible to go down the road of Nanyang. Or, like you, with a murder case on your back. It is unlikely that you will return to your hometown, right? Then what are you going to do? The result? It’s easy to do something, as long as you’re not afraid of death, then do it. But what happens after you’re done?”

Cai Shiwu was immediately taken aback by these words, and thought to himself that the imperial envoy is an expert?
He couldn't help but said: "The imperial envoys can be regarded as experts. This kind of thing is life-and-death. If you want to do it, kill them."

"Otherwise, even if they agree temporarily, they won't find a chance to kill you in the future? Regarding the mine, which mine has few lives? There is no shortage of people in the mine, and the sellers in Macau are there every year. Come to deliver the goods, there are plenty of people."

"Either don't do it, or kill him directly. If I don't kill him, he has to kill me."

Liu Yu shook his head and said with a smile: "You still haven't mentioned the key point. Even if you kill them, what will you do next?"

"Uh...after?"

After one sentence, Cai Shiwu shut up and stopped talking.

Liu Yu's heart skipped a beat, and he was done thinking.

It’s not about being stuck, overwhelmed, or ignorant.

It was obvious that someone had asked "what will happen after I do it", so Cai Shiwu kept his mouth shut.

He has been thinking about similar things these years, and he can be regarded as an expert in rebellion and uprising at this time. After thinking about the situation of Banga a little, he feels that there are not many routes that can convince everyone.

It can convince people and prove that it is feasible.Those who can come up with a feasible plan must at least have some cultural background. Among the miners who can have some cultural background, the most likely ones are Catholics from Macau.

The turmoil of the ban on religion has made Macau a mixed bag.

"Emperor Taizu of this dynasty, since Xi'an, the imperial examination, official system, and three-year exemption. Since then, it has been very different from before. You only know how to resist, but you don't know what you will do after you finish it, whether you will succeed or not. Even if you think about murder, arson, etc., it is better than just knowing what to do and not knowing what will happen after you finish. You are also a person in the mine, and you must have contact with people in other places, and they will not Some people figured out what to do in the future?"

Cai Shiwu still kept silent, and Liu Yu deliberately sarcastically said: "If you don't have a plan, you will be a bandit. If you take one step at a time, you will not succeed. Even if you think about recruiting security from the beginning, you still know what to do. You guys If you can’t get things done, isn’t that calling people’s death in vain?”

"Everyone is called a hero, but they let people die in vain, just for a moment of happiness. To say that you are a thief is to praise you."

Cai Shiwu sneered and said, "Your Imperial Envoy doesn't need to use aggressive tactics. We have our own program, so we don't need to worry about it. Besides, I've also heard the story of Emperor Taizu. Didn't the reason why we raised our troops in the first place was because we couldn't survive?" , is it possible that he is not a hero?"

Hearing that there was indeed a program, Liu Yu frowned, pulled a chair and sat very close to Cai Shiwu, and asked, "I'm not joking with you anymore. You may not know my name, but I'm still a Lead tens of thousands of soldiers to fight against Rakshasa, Junggar, and Wa. Whether you start an incident or not, in my eyes, is nothing more than a trivial matter. In my eyes, these miners are also bullshit. , do you really think that I am someone who exploits mines and can order them to deal with you?"

"I stayed in Bangka, just waiting for the Dutch to prepare to meet the matter. Staying here is very boring, just looking for fun. We will not interfere with anything here. If we really want to, slap the big island, yes Can it surpass Mongolia? Or Rakshasa? Or Japan? How many people are enough to kill?"

"We'll leave in a few days. We won't help you or them. I'm just having fun when I'm idle. Tell me, let me listen. I'll give you a staff and a staff, so I can see if there are some of you figure."

"To put it bluntly, you also escaped from the Celestial Dynasty. You also know about the Celestial Dynasty, and you don't think about it. If Bangka is a big place, if it is in the Celestial Dynasty, I'm afraid nothing will disturb the Huizhou government. But the Huizhou government When Yin came to my house, he might not have passed the door of the concierge."

"These miners have stayed in the Old Port for a long time. Yelang is arrogant. He really thinks that the imperial envoys of the Celestial Dynasty are the same as the imperial envoys of the Sultan of the Old Port? Can you care about this shit?"

"It's just for fun. You live or die, and the mine owner lives or dies, what does it matter to me? It's no different from watching cockfights or crickets."

"Talk about it. I've said it. I'll give you a way out. I absolutely don't care what's going on here, and I won't help each other. I'm also a very powerful official in the Celestial Dynasty. I'm in charge of my life, so I keep my word."
