The yamen servant saw that Long Wu's mouth was sloppy, so he hurriedly stuffed his mouth with a rag and pulled him down.

The crowd dispersed for a while, but Sun Yuwen asked Lin Yuan secretly: "Brother Lin Xian, I heard that this Long Wu is a desperate character, what if he doesn't recognize his accomplices?"

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "Long Wu has been operating in the Beijing-Tianjin area for many years, and naturally there are a group of accomplices under him. These people are also heinous criminals. Once you catch them, just treat them as accomplices."

Sun Yuwen asked again: "But, who is the person talking to Long Wu on the phonograph? What if he doesn't say anything? The emperor has already set his sights on this person talking to Long Wu."

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "This person doesn't exist in the first place, and we need to find a way to make Emperor Guangxu stop thinking about this person." So Lin Yuan smiled mysteriously and said, "You don't have to worry about this, I will go to the palace to talk to you later. The emperor said, once I finish speaking, Emperor Guangxu will not pursue this person any more."

Lin Yuan bid farewell to Sun Yuwen, went into the palace, and met Emperor Guangxu, who was very happy because he found a traitor, Lin Yuan took the opportunity to say, "Have you ever thought about a question, Your Majesty?"

Emperor Guangxu asked, "What's the problem?"

Lin Yuan replied: "Have you ever thought that Long Wu is just a local bully, how could he have the guts to buy a gun to rebel?"

Emperor Guangxu asked, "Then what do you mean?"

Lin Yuan said: "Behind him, there is very likely to be the support of the British, Japanese, or Russians. If this matter is investigated, it will not look good on the face of all countries, and foreigners know that Long Wu was arrested. We will try our best to get rid of ourselves, and it is impossible for us to catch any clues. If we insist on investigating, we will only make fun of ourselves."

Emperor Guangxu thought for a while, and said: "This statement is reasonable. I will send someone to send a handbook to Sun Yuwen in a while, telling him that the investigation is almost done."

Lin Yuan said: "What do you think of the words I said during the palace examination?"

Emperor Guangxu smiled and said, "Is it just a matter of uniting the various arsenals? I think it's very good, but..."

Lin Yuan quickly asked, "Is there anything inappropriate?"

Emperor Guangxu smiled and said: "There is nothing inappropriate. For example, Hanyang Iron and Steel Works and Hanyang Arsenal were both founded by Zhang Zhidong and Zhang Aiqing. He is doing a good job now. Now you have to compare it with other factories." How could he be happy to unite the factories."

Lin Yuan said: "Their production capacity is low, and the alliance with other factories has saved them."

Emperor Guangxu said: "You think so, but they don't think so. After this period of work is over, you can try it."

Lin Yuan said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, I have the confidence to turn them into world-class factories."

Emperor Guangxu smiled and didn't speak. He obviously didn't believe that Lin Yuan had such strength. He picked up a memorial on the table and said with a smile, "I'll tell you a strange thing."

Lin Yuan asked, "What strange thing?"

Emperor Guangxu said with a smile: "I read the article you wrote in the exam, and I didn't see whether it was good or bad, but the scholars around me said that it was well written, so why don't you print your article?" Has the volume been distributed to candidates all over the world? Just now Weng Tonghe posted a memorial saying that you intentionally cheated during the exam, do you think it is a miracle?"

Lin Yuan asked, "Why would he say I cheated?"

Emperor Guangxu said with a smile: "Weng Tonghe found an old scholar who specialized in teaching people to write stereotyped essays. His surname was Li. After this old scholar Li saw your article, he insisted that it was written by him. Weng Tonghe thought it was strange. So there was a fold."

Lin Yuan was taken aback when he heard this, and thought to himself: "Why did Mr. Li tell the story? Didn't Wan Qing say that he couldn't tell?"

After Emperor Guangxu finished speaking, he threw the memorial aside, and talked with Lin Yuan about some unimportant things for a while. Lin Yuan's thoughts were all on that old scholar Li, and he didn't want to say more, so he left soon.

Lin Yuan was walking on the street, thinking about how to deal with this matter. Seeing Emperor Guangxu's appearance, he didn't pay much attention to it. After all, the long-distance information transmission system and in-ear headphones are beyond the dreams of people in this era.

Lin Yuan was walking, and when he turned a corner, he collided with a person. Lin Yuan didn't look at it, but when he looked closely, he couldn't help being surprised. The person he bumped into was Shen Wanqing.

What surprised him even more was: Shen Wanqing's face was covered with sweat, and she was out of breath. She had obviously been running for a long time. Lin Yuan didn't know what happened. Just as she was about to ask, Shen Wanqing walked towards the alley. Hiding inside, he said to Lin Yuan, "Cover me."

Soon a dozen or so vendors who were running out of breath chased after them, and seeing Lin Yuan standing at the entrance of the alley, they asked, "Did you see a woman?"

Lin Yuan pointed in another direction with his hand and said, "Run there." Then Lin Yuan wondered even more what a group of peddlers were doing chasing Shen Wanqing.

After they ran far away, Shen Wanqing came out from the alley. Seeing her distressed look, Lin Yuan couldn't help laughing and said, "Our big agent was actually chased by a dozen peddlers from the late Qing Dynasty. Did you buy it?" Didn’t you get paid for something?”

Shen Wanqing said softly: "I can't do without running, the streets are full of people, how can I kill them all?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Why did that group of peddlers arrest you, please tell me what's going on?"

Shen Wanqing took a deep breath and said: "Today I went to see Mr. Li, and when I walked to the door, I realized something was wrong. There were a few more sellers at the entrance of the alley, which I had never seen before. I was hooked at the time, and those people didn't look at me right."

"After entering the house, Mr. Li obviously had something to hide from me, so he didn't dare to look at me. When I saw that something was wrong, I quickly found an excuse to go out. Who knew that as soon as I reached the door, those peddlers rushed up. I knocked down two and rushed out, then I kept running, and then I met you."

Shen Wanqing frowned and said to herself, "Why did they arrest me?"

Lin Yuan said, "I see, they must have been sent by Weng Tonghe."

Shen Wanqing was taken aback, and asked, "Who is Weng Tonghe? Such a familiar name."

Lin Yuan said: "When I was in the palace today, Emperor Guangxu told me that Weng Tonghe found out that my exam paper was written by Li Laoxiu, and Li Laoxiu gave it to you after writing it. They couldn't figure out how you put it The article was given to me, so I remembered to arrest you."

After hearing this, Shen Wanqing's eyes froze, she bit her lip and said, "That old Li actually betrayed me, if it wasn't for me, he would have died by the side of the road, and I specifically told him not to tell anyone about it. "

While talking, Shen Wanqing lowered her head with a sad face. At this moment, Lin Yuan suddenly thought: "Will she cry? I have seen many girls cry, but I have never seen her... "

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Don't be sad, it's okay, they won't catch you, let alone do anything to me."

Shen Wanqing thought for a while, and said: "That's right, that old man surnamed Li didn't know that I was from the newspaper office, so they didn't know where to arrest me, but..." At this point, Shen Wanqing locked her hands tightly. Eyebrow, seems to know a big disaster.

Lin Yuan hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Shen Wanqing said: "They don't need to catch me at all to expose your affairs!"
