20 years of the Republic of China

Chapter 183: The wind and the heroes are in power

Guangyuan Bank, a branch in the north of the city.

In the study, the desk lamp was on.

There are piles of old ledger books with white pine abacus attached to them.

Su Wenqi and Jiang Xiaodao sat opposite each other, and from time to time they would pull the abacus and make a crisp sound.

The tea bowl at hand was cold and empty - it seemed that the two had been meeting secretly for a long time.

"That's great!" Jiang Xiaodao rarely pulled Wen Ci'er, "Brother Su, I will not pursue the past matters. From now on, wherever you can use me, just speak up!"

Su Wenqi looked at the fake accounts in hand, forced out a smile, waved his hand and said, "It's just a little effort, no need to be so polite."

"Huh? I don't take this mess seriously, why are you always making fun of me?" Jiang Xiaodao asked curiously, "How is your president of the Chamber of Commerce doing? Have you become the president?"

Su Wenqi shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's such a mess now, it's good to be able to protect yourself. How can I have time to care about the president?"

Jiang Xiaodao knew that Su Wenqi was committed to revolution, so he naturally understood what he meant by chaos.

Governor Zhao stabilized the overall situation in Fengtian. Wei Tianqing lost his military power and was expelled from the pass. The fire in the provincial capital was on the verge of extinction.

However, according to Jiang Xiaodao's knowledge, Wei Tianqing did not give up, but went to the southern country to plan the Northern Expedition.

At the same time, Zhang Long and others also established the "Fengtian United Rapid Advancement Association" to support the Liaonan People's Army, contain the Fengtian patrol camp, so that they did not dare to leave the border to serve the king, and refused the emperor's return eastward.

From Jiang Xiaodao's point of view, the outcome was still uncertain, so why did he suddenly collapse?
Su Wenqi looked helpless: "Brother Lian Heng, you only know one of them, but you don't know the other. Right now, the trend of overthrowing the Qing Dynasty has entered a stalemate stage. The great powers are withholding customs duties, the military expenditure in the south is tight, and they are doing their own things. There are already rumors. It seems that The situation is probably going to be negotiated.”

"It's a foreigner again!" Jiang Xiaodao was indignant.

Su Wenqi also had to admit that at present, although Governor Zhao was loyal to the emperor, his view of the current situation was not entirely wrong.

The Western powers are at war with each other at this time and have no time to look eastward. They can only check and balance and wait and see.

The alliance is getting too close to Dongyang, which is indeed a conspiracy to lure the wolf and reject the tiger.

At present, the Central Plains is about to be in chaos, and the East is eager to take action. If it were not for the intervention of Britain and the United States, I am afraid they would have sent troops to intervene.

The little devil finished singing the red face and the white face. His army provided arms to the Qing Dynasty in Beiyang, and his general staff secretly supported the Southern Kingdom.

Co-prosperity is a lie. It splits the country and divides the territory, intending to cut off the Qing Dynasty and make it difficult to gather together. This is the real face.

Nowadays, the Southern Kingdom is experiencing uprisings, then declining, and finally exhausting itself. Sun Dapao's shortcomings in his ability to incite but not his skills have been gradually exposed. The powers of various countries have favored Fang Datou, the imperial minister.

To save the country - after all, we cannot count on outsiders.

Even so, Jiang Xiaodao is still puzzled: "This battle has not been over yet, how can you be so sure that Zhang Long and the others will lose?"

"Because of one person."

"Zhang Shorty?" Jiang Xiaodao asked.

The story that Lao Zhang drew a gun and threatened representatives from all parties in the consultative bureau has already spread in the provincial capital.

Su Wenqi nodded and said: "This old Zhang is from Huzi. He is unreasonable at all and has no principles or bottom lines. In addition, Governor Zhao is an old fox. Zhang Long is young and energetic, and has no city government at all. Why fight with them?"

Hearing this, Jiang Xiaodao was startled, his two sparse eyebrows tightened tighter and tighter, and finally he simply let out a "poof" and became happy.

Su Wenqi didn't know why, so he asked: "Brother Lian Heng, you...why are you laughing?"

Jiang Xiaodao stood up, walked slowly to the case, put his hands on the table, and said with a smile: "My father always said that you are a smart man, why are you talking nonsense again now?"

"What do you mean?"

"Brother, your Zhang Long, does he know what he is doing?"

"Of course I know! Overthrow the monarchy and realize a republic!"

"You know what the heck! You are rebelling when you say one thousand or ten thousand! This is a beheading business. You are all rebelling. How do you expect others to reason with you? One life for another, so take out your gun and fight with them. ! To put it bluntly, I’m still timid and don’t dare!”

Jiang Xiaodao didn't understand.

Su Wenqi planned to kill Chen Wantang back then. He should have known the principle of being a non-toxic and a husband, but why was he so confused now? "Vendettas in Jianghu are, in the final analysis, a low-level business. It would be a tragedy if the country also practiced this kind of thing."

Su Wenqi explained a few words, but suddenly felt a bit redundant. As he spoke, he, like Zhang Long, slipped into the soft ideal.

"Brother Lian Heng, maybe - you are right! Heroes emerge in troubled times. In this world, if you want to succeed, you should be ruthless! Maybe, in the end, it will be treacherous people like Fang Datou and Zhang Laoda. Able to climb to high places.”

"Hey, let's make a deal!"

Jiang Xiaodao was quite pleased with the compliments. He was so beautiful, but he completely forgot that these were actually his wife's original words.

In fact, all discerning people in Fengtian saw Zhang Long's problem.

But without leaving home, Hu Xiaoyan came to the same conclusion as Su Wenqi based only on the rumors she found, which made Jiang Xiaodao feel ashamed.

Having said this, Su Wenqi took another look at the account book and fiddled with the abacus twice.

"Zhang Laogao is a man with a beard and has always been vicious and malicious. He has a lot of troops at the moment. If he gains power one day, he may be settled later."

Su Wenqi is not afraid of death, but he does not want to implicate the entire family because of his decision.

Suddenly, father Su Yuansheng's angry face appeared in front of his eyes again.

Jiang Xiaodao suddenly asked, "Why do you just say that he is sinister and vicious?"

"what?"

"Brother Su, we don't talk about positions, only means. Of course Zhang Laogao is not a hero when he holds the meeting hostage. But the Qing Party members are assassinating people everywhere. It doesn't sound very aboveboard, right? How can they become heroes?"

Su Wenqi suddenly froze, thought for a while, and then said: "Brother Lian Heng, in this kind of matter, we have to talk about stance, because stance is the foundation. One is to comply with public opinion, and the other is to help others, how can they be confused?"

"Eh?"

Jiang Xiaodao scratched his head and said, "Then I don't understand even more! I've also seen the leaflets you distributed. They all talk about freedom and the people. They just want to reimburse the imperial court, can't they?"

"This...this, of course this won't work!"

"What kind of freedom is that? It seems like you just say one thing and do another."

"No! That's not the case!" Su Wenqi suddenly looked a little flustered, "Brother Lian Heng, if you are interested, I can tell you slowly that this starts with the Western Enlightenment Movement."

When Jiang Xiaodao heard that class was about to begin, he was so frightened that he quickly ran away.

"Hey! It's just chatting, why are you so serious? Actually, I have no interest in these things at all. I just live in a muddle. It's better to not delay eating or wearing clothes."

Su Wenqi couldn't agree, so he stood up and said, "Brother Lian Heng, you must have faith throughout your life."

"Who says I don't have faith? My faith is to eat well and drink well. As for the rest, I only listen to my father's words - I don't want to!"

Twisted melons are not sweet.

Seeing this, Su Wenqi couldn't persuade him any more, so he sat down again dejectedly.

"Brother Su, it's getting late, I'd better hurry up and get down to business!"

"Huh? Real business?" Su Wenqi was puzzled, "Do you have anything else to do?"

"Of course!" Jiang Xiaodao smiled, "I owe you such a huge favor. I couldn't sleep all night long, always thinking about making up for it for you!"

"You're welcome!" Su Wenqi suddenly realized, "To be honest, I still feel guilty about Chen Wantang's incident before! Besides, I have nothing else to ask for now except protecting my family."

"Hey! What a coincidence!"

Jiang Xiaodao leaned down, the light beam of the desk lamp shone down from above, and the shadow of his brow bone blocked his eyes.

"I came here this time just to help your Su family resolve the disaster. However, the premise is..."
