Starting from crossing the Fengshen

Chapter 82 Closing
The remnants of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom have made such a fuss about Shaoxing Prefecture, and they will definitely need troops to guard it.

But there are too few new troops in Hangzhou to be stationed here for a long time.

Nalan Yuanshu was still having a headache because the Green Camp was in ruins. What should the Shaoxing garrison do?
Now that Yin Qi is asking for a job himself, it certainly suits his wishes.

What's more, he has always regarded Yin Qi as a like-minded reformer, and of course he also wants to strengthen the power of the reformers.

In this way, no matter what happens in the future, you can have a new force.

Anyway, he will send troops to stay in the regiment for a long time, and Shaoxing Prefecture is so close to Hangzhou. If Yin Qizhen has any bad intentions, he doesn't believe that the other party can pull it out.

"Thank you sir!"

Yin Qi thanked him and felt happy in his heart.

Finally, he can hold group training, and he can control an armed force in an honest manner.

Nalan Yuanshu smiled slightly, and then said: "The prefect and others were killed. It will take some time for the court to appoint officials, and I have to be busy asking for advice from the remnants of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Yin Qi, for the next period of time, you can assist me in handling government affairs. .”

In this turmoil, not only the prefect, but also high-level officials such as Tongping and Tongzhi were also wiped out.

It can be said that the government office is completely paralyzed.

"Yes, my lord!"

Yin Qi naturally had no objection. He clasped his fists and said, "Sir, my family is still in prison. Do you think...?"

Nalan Yuanshu said seriously: "The murder of the foreign technicians in your steam engine factory was a conspiracy by the remnants of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to provoke local unrest. It has nothing to do with your Yin family. You can go and pick them out at any time."

"Thank you sir!"

Yin Qi once again clasped his fists in thanks.

With Nalan Yuanshu's words, he and the Yin family were completely cleared of suspicion.

……

Yin Qi quickly entered the state and assisted Nalan Yuanshu in dealing with the aftermath.

It is better to say that it is assistance, rather than full authority.

Because Nalan Yuanshu was seriously injured and had no energy to deal with the aftermath, Yin Qi made the most important reports, and Yin Qi made the final decision on other matters.

Seeing how Yin Qi handled everything in an orderly manner, Nalan Yuanshu was also greatly surprised.

This person is truly a natural-born expert in handling government affairs.

Time passed, and finally it was dawn.

War reports have also come from other counties. They have achieved their expected goals, but there are still many people on the run.

So Nalan Yuanshu sent an order to hunt down the remnants of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom throughout the whole government, and be sure to capture Chen Yucheng, Shi Zhongkui and other senior Taiping Heavenly Kingdom remnants.

At the same time, the entire city of Shaoxing was under martial law, and the remnants of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the Caohe Gang were hunted down.

……

Somewhere in the wild.

Shi Zhongkui's face turned gray and he murmured to himself: "It's over, it's all over."

He had already received news from various counties. The men they deployed were almost wiped out by the officers and soldiers. Just like Shaoxing City, the court seemed to have known their plan for a long time and had dug a hole for them to jump.

All their hard work over the years was almost lost overnight.

Although they still have many forces outside Shaoxing Prefecture.

But under the pursuit of the court, the outcome is already doomed.

"Let's go south!"

Chen Yucheng's voice was a little hoarse.

Seemingly overnight, he had a lot of gray hair on his head, but his eyes remained firm.

Shi Zhongkui and others seemed to have come to their senses and looked at Chen Yucheng one after another.

It seemed that as long as he was around, they were the backbone.

Chen Yucheng said: "The revolutionary momentum in Guangzhou is rising one after another. Not only is business prosperous, but it is also far away from the capital. The control of Qingyao is relatively weak. We can go to Guangzhou to develop. Either secretly accumulate strength, or unite with other revolutionaries. As long as we persist, There will eventually be a day when we will make a comeback and see the Qing Dynasty fall."

"Okay, Your Majesty!" Shi Zhongkui and others nodded, fighting spirit and confidence igniting in their eyes again.

Chen Yucheng continued: "Next, Qingyao will definitely hunt us everywhere. Without further ado, you should leave now."

Shi Zhongkui was stunned and said, "Your Majesty, what about you?"

Chen Yucheng's eyes were deep and he said in a deep voice: "I still have some things to deal with, and I will catch up with you soon."

.........

The government prison.

The fighting last night did not affect this place.

Yin Chengtao and others stayed up almost all night. They listened to the sounds of fighting outside in the first half of the night. They were on tenterhooks and waited until it was quiet outside. The harsh environment in the cell made it difficult for them to fall asleep.

Until after dawn, they really couldn't hold back their sleepiness and felt a little drowsy.

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps woke them up again.

Yin Chengtao heard the footsteps that seemed to be heading towards him, so he couldn't help but turn his head and look around. With the early morning sunshine, his eyes widened suddenly and he saw Yin Qi!
"Master, it's Qi'er!"

Yin's mother also saw Yin Qi, she was surprised, happy, and deeply confused, because Yin Qi was surrounded by a group of jailers, and the one who led the way was the prison order.

How is this going?

The jailer said flatteringly: "Sir, your family is being held here. Don't worry, although they don't receive special care, they have never suffered any injustice."

He was secretly afraid, but fortunately he was worried about the Japanese, so he didn't do anything to the Yin family.

Otherwise, he will shed his skin today even if he doesn't die.

Who would have thought that Yin Qi, who was still wanted yesterday, would become a popular figure in front of the Admiral in the blink of an eye. He not only became the commander-in-chief of the Shaoxing Prefecture, but also assisted the Admiral in managing the government office.

Before the new prefect took office, Yin Qi almost had the final say in Shaoxing Prefecture.

Yin Qi just nodded lightly, he quickened his pace, came to the cell, and shouted: "Father, mother!"

Yin Chengtao and Yin's mother were surprised and asked: "Qi'er, is this...?"

Yin Qi said: "This is not the place to talk. Let's talk about it when we get home."

Yin Chengtao and his wife nodded.

The prison commander shouted to him: "Don't open it yet."

Several jailers quickly stepped forward and opened all the prison doors where the Yin family was imprisoned.

……

Yin Mansion.

Yin Chengtao looked up at the plaque, sighing in his heart, as if in a dream.

Yesterday I was still worried that my whole family would be confiscated, but today I returned home and followed a large group of government officials to bring back all the items confiscated yesterday.

It's just a pity that Xuan'er and Shishi, one married into Japan and the other married a Japanese.

Thinking of this, he felt a dull pain in his heart.

Good luck fooling people!
……

Listen to Yuzhai.

Yin Chengtao couldn't wait to ask: "Qi'er, what's going on? What happened last night? How can you go in and out of the government office freely, and still make them so afraid of you?"

Yin Qi smiled slightly and said: "Last night, the remnants of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom caused a rebellion. Fortunately, the admiral was aware of it and made preparations secretly, so he quickly suppressed the rebellion.

Because I saved the admiral last night, and because the prefect and other high-level officials were killed, the admiral had no one available, so he asked me to assist him in handling government affairs.

Also, the Admiral has found out that whether it was the previous murder of foreigners or the murder of a foreign technician from our steam engine factory, it was all done by remnants of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, with the purpose of provoking local unrest.

In this way, the situation has been found out, and our Yin family is naturally not guilty. "

Although Yin Chengtao was his father, there were some things that Yin Qi was not prepared to tell him, whether it was being coerced by Chen Yucheng to join the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, or whether he went on a killing spree last night and wiped out the prefect, the Twelve Knights, and the Chen family.

Rebellion is not just a treat, it is a serious crime of confiscating the family and exterminating the clan.
