Chapter 2690 The Capital (46)

"Did he really say that?"

"Yes, the little one can hear clearly." Zhou Lezhi said.

Wang Yehao nodded his head to express his satisfaction. It seems that he didn't need to bother himself, the evil deeds of the thief himself made the hearthstone abhorrent.In this way, there is no fear of him running back.The "Lingao Kunqing" written by Gou Chengxuan also contains a lot of black material, so you can also show it to him.

Now he is not in a hurry to act as a "Singer of Mengde". Apart from predicting the future, the Hearthstone Immortal can bring him many other benefits, and he has also given a lot of advice on how to deal with the aftermath.Some are almost empty talk, but the angles are novel and quite enlightening.

This is a capable person.Get him in your hands!
Zhou Lezhi didn't have so many calculations, but felt that after returning from the countryside, his husband was very different from before, and became taciturn.In addition to teaching him every day, I don't play with Yui at night, but close the door to write.

Manuscripts kept piling up, and Zhou Lezhi originally relied on copying and sorting them out, but the teacher thought it would take up Zhou Lezhi's class time, so he asked Liu Zhao to find five copyists.

Scribes are craftsmen who specialize in copying patterns in printing workshops. Not only do they copy neatly and quickly, but most of them are illiterate—this is also quite a rare thing.Wang Yehao thinks this is the best way, lest the "Australian unique knowledge" be leaked.I also took care of making an extra copy.

Zhou Lezhi's job is to proofread the transcription for errors.To be honest, he felt that it was useless even for a copyist to be able to read, because most of the things written by the master would not be understood without his teaching.

The copied documents were sent to Wang Yehao's study room. At first, he thought that all his writings were "mantras", but they were all in Chinese characters.Except that the fonts are mostly vulgar, the language is almost vernacular, but there is nothing special about it.

It's just that most of the things he writes are of the nature of being able to recognize them by reading them, but they don't know what to put together.This is somewhat embarrassing.

Some of them he probably knows, such as arithmetic and physics; some he doesn’t know why at all, such as "Introduction to the Principles of Political Economy"; another "World Geography and States in the 17th Century", which is a good reading for novelty and leisure, But it doesn't make much sense—after all, how many countries the red-haired Europas have, and how many kings they don't care about; "Principles of Mechanics" is full of all kinds of machines...

"These are the unique skills that Taoist Master Hearthstone said?" He didn't believe it, so he specially called Zhou Lezhi.

"Yes, sir, that's what he said."

"What kind of unique knowledge are these!" Master Wang secretly slandered, but he couldn't say this openly, and asked, "Did he ever write a book about spells and secrets?"

The answer naturally disappointed him.Master Wang stared at Zhou Lezhi, feeling that this young man had changed a little, he seemed less loyal.

Forgive him for not getting wind of it, although Zhou Lezhi is an orphan, but his clan is in Guangdong, and killing the family is just a matter of effort, he must understand.

What's more, this kid has already had a fierce fight with the Hearthstone Immortal, and changing him rashly will only cause the Immortal's dissatisfaction.Immediately said a few words gently, asking him to help his husband write a book.

After sending Zhou Lezhi away, Wang Yehao looked at the candlelight expressionlessly, and after a long time asked Liu Bao:

"The incantations in the heavenly scriptures, do you have clues?"

"I have inquired from many places, but no one knows."

"Be careful and don't let the wind leak."

"Don't worry, my lord, this subordinate has his own way. It's just..." Liu Wei paused, looking hesitant to speak.

"Just to put it bluntly, there is no need to worry."

"My lord, this subordinate is bold. Mr. Zhou is the only one who can read the incantations in the Heavenly Book. Why don't you force him to reveal the solution?"

"Alas!" Wang Yehao sighed, and after a long silence, he said, "Since it's about the incantations of the heavenly scriptures, I won't hide it from you. This is a big matter, so keep it in mind, and don't tell others."

"Remember this, subordinates."

"Apocalypse six years, do you remember the matter of Wang Gong's factory?"

"Remember, the official mansion reported that it was caused by a gunpowder fire."

"Hehehehe..." Wang Yehao couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, "What kind of gunpowder are you talking about, can there be such a battle?"

"The subordinates are stupid, I hope the adults can point them out."

"When the Japanese officials inspected the neighborhood, they met Mr. Zhou in the ruins."

"Mr. Zhou is from the capital?"

Wang Yehao's eyes froze suddenly, and there was a chill in his words: "I have seen Mr. Zhou's head."

"What do you mean, my lord?"

"There is only one head, hanging in the air, and it disappears in an instant."

This matter sounded too horrifying, and Liu Wei didn't know how to answer it for a long time, so he just asked in a rambling manner: "Is it true?"

"I didn't believe this strange thing, but it can't be fake." Wang Yehao calmed down, looked at Liu Xiao who was still a little dazed, and said, "It's true that this person is vulgar and sloppy. It is also true to die with an iron mouth. It is difficult to determine the depth and depth, so don't act rashly. Zhong Da said, Kong Ming will not take risks in his life. If I am not [-]% sure, I will not be able to compete with him."

"This subordinate is reckless."

"It doesn't matter." Wang Yehao lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "Now I don't mean anything in the heavenly scriptures. When I arrived in Guangzhou, I saw that the gangsters had become powerful and would become a serious problem for the imperial court in the future. This Hearthstone Immortal, eight out of ten Jiu has a great relationship with the Kun thief, if the court wants to pacify Kun, this person must be of great use."

"My subordinates understand!"

"I went to Guangzhou for inspection. Although the thieves have retreated, the officials in Guangzhou are all afraid of the thieves. There are probably still many who secretly take bribes from the thieves. To deal with the thieves, the local yamen cannot be relied on. Tell you How are things going?"

"More than 20 brothers have been recruited, all of whom are good players."

"I'll give you the silver, but people are worth it." Wang Yehao stared at Liu Xiao, "At a critical moment, don't waste your time because of people and delay the opportunity of the war..."

The words "delaying the fighter" are enough to make people lose their heads, and Liu Wei naturally understands the meaning.

"Don't worry, my lord, the subordinates know the pros and cons of it"

"Go ahead."

But Liu Wei didn't leave immediately, and said: "Master, I have something to tell..."

"Oh, let's hear it."

Liu Wei said that he had an acquainted brother who was from the Liang family in Guangzhou. He said that Liang Cunhou wanted to deal with the Kun bandits and was also secretly recruiting heroes from the Jianghu.

"...I heard that the Liang family is a wealthy gentry in Guangzhou and has great influence in the local area. If the master can get his help, great things will be accomplished."

Who is Liang Cunhou, Master Wang naturally understands.But he had heard long ago that Liang Cunhou was colluding with the Kun thief, and that the largest philanthropic hall in Guangzhou was jointly run by his family and Dongzhu Guo.

Such a person actually wants to deal with the Kun thief?Master Wang didn't believe it.

"Is there really such a thing?"

"Indeed!" Liu Wei nodded, and said in a low voice, "There is also a school lieutenant in the Liang family who supervises—he is from Dongchang."

"East Factory?"

"Yes," he noticed the look of fear in Master Wang's eyes, and hurriedly said, "Although this brother was ordered by Dongchang to lurk in the Liang family, but after the emperor removed the officials to monitor him, he had nowhere to go. So I still stay in the Liang Mansion as an errand."

"Oh." Wang Yehao breathed a sigh of relief, because the emperor immediately withdrew the official supervision after he ascended the throne, and he never thought that he would send another person a few years later.

There have been frequent activities in the past few years. If Dongchang detectives really want to stab him in front of the emperor, he is afraid that he will be "questioned" in the imperial prison.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Liu Wei continued to lower his voice, "The police officer of the East Factory is also a brother of our Jinyiwei, so the subordinates got in touch with him through a reliable intermediary."

"you say!"

"According to him, after Liang Cunhou failed to defeat the Kun bandits from Wang Du, he has always regretted cooperating with the Kun bandits. It's just that there are huge interests involved in it, and he has a relationship with the entire Liang family, so he didn't break up with the Kun bandits. .”

"So, the Liang family has property with the Kun bandits?"

"That's right. Not only Cihuitang, but also several Zi family names. I heard that the Liang family has shares."

"So that's how it is!" Wang Yehao thought to himself that the thieves had a reputation of turning gold into gold in the local area. It is self-evident that the Liang family can own shares, and the annual income is huge.No wonder they couldn't make up their minds.

"However, Liang Cunhou feels that Kun bandits have become a disease of Guangdong, and sooner or later they will become a confidant of the imperial court, so he has been secretly collecting information about Kun and making preparations..."

Wang Yehao understood what Liu Xiao meant, and this person could cooperate.

The Liang family is a well-known local powerful family in Guangfu, and their influence is intricate. If they can get his help, they will get twice the result with half the effort in dealing with the Kun thieves.

"In that case, I'd like to see you later."

Fortunately, when the local officials take office, it is also necessary to visit the local gentry.He summoned Jin Wenchi and asked him to tie the knot.Sure enough, within a few days, the Liang family sent invitations to Wang Yehao.

At the banquet, Wang Yehao mentioned that the thieves were a disaster for Guangdong, and asked Liang Cunhou if he had any countermeasures.

"Speaking of the thieves, the students are also their benefactors." Liang Cunhou said with a wry smile when talking about the past, "It was inappropriate to be confused by them, and it was not suitable for them to make a living overseas, so I sent a invitation card and cooperated with them. The Cihui Hall takes in refugees, never thought that raising tigers will cause trouble!"

"It's never too late to make up for it."

Liang Cunhou and Wang Yehao hit it off.Liang Cunhou wanted to make up for his "mistakes" back then, and his attitude was particularly positive. He revealed that he had secretly set up a library at home to collect all kinds of books, newspapers and information about the thieves.He also organized some scholars to set up a Yuyuan Club, which specializes in research.If Mr. Wang is interested, we can exchange information.

"Is there such a thing? Are people reliable?"

"Students dare not say if they are reliable or not, but they are all obsessed with black studies." Liang Cunhou said with a smile, "Students will not say that studying black studies is to deal with black thieves."

"Are there any scholars who are obsessed with black studies?" Wang Yehao was a little surprised.

"Exactly. When it comes to practical crafts, there are indeed some advantages in the study of braids." Liang Cunhou sighed, "It would be a blessing if it could be used by the imperial court. It's a pity that braiders are very strict in controlling it, and they are not allowed to see one or two of them." !"
