A flower of the Republic of China
Chapter 15
Chapter 15
1,
The gunfire rang for a while and then fell silent, the soaring flames were doused by a heavy rain, and Haizhou City fell into an uneasy silence.Yang Jingan was fidgeting in the account room. His overall plan was only one step away from being completed. It was good that Gu Baoshan could hold Haizhou City. If he couldn't, those shops and banks would be in vain.At this moment, he really wanted to go out and see what was going on in the world, but he was afraid that he would throw himself into a trap and lose his life in vain, so he could only wander around the room like a headless chicken.
After waiting for about a cup of tea, there were voices gradually on the street, and the bold ones poked their heads out of the windows, looked left and right, and saw neither soldiers nor bandits.The servant who was sent out to inquire about the news came back and said that the gate of the yamen was a little strange, and the other places looked the same as usual, but the common people started to flee outside the city, and the countryside should always be calmer.After speaking, he raised his face to look at Yang Jing'an, and said, Chief Steward, let's run.Yang Jingan glanced at him, snorted coldly, what can I do if I run out?There is nothing left, it is better to stay and play by ear, maybe there is still a chance.
Yang Jing'an wanted to stay, but the Shen family fell and scattered.This is Mrs. Shen's insistence. Shen Xiaoru left with his wife and children, and Shen Xiaofang also left. The servants who had relatives went to visit relatives, and those who had no relatives relied on friends, almost dispersed.There are only a few old family members who have nowhere to go and stay in the house.Those who didn't want to wait for death squeezed out from the crack of the door and disappeared in a blink of an eye.Yang Jing'an felt a little sad for Mrs. Shen, if the Shen family treated these servants well all these years, so what?When it comes to critical times, who cares about your life?Thinking of this, he ran to the main room and asked Mrs. Shen through the window if she wanted something to eat, but the cook was gone, but he still remembered a few small dishes from his hometown, which he could cook to feed Mrs. Shen.
After the food and wine were served, Mrs. Shen asked Yang Jingan to sit down as well. There were no masters and servants at the moment, and both of them felt a little emotional. They ate, drank and chatted together like old friends to pass the time.At the beginning, they were all off-topic, what happened to you when I was young, and Madam Shen’s pretended relaxed expression disappeared as she spoke, she put the chopsticks on the table, and asked with a sad face, “Jing’an, how do you see this situation? When will the chaos be over?"
Yang Jing'an took a sip of his wine, "Ma'am, I heard that there has been chaos outside. Many places in the south have declared independence, and there is a new word called Guangfu, which means that they will not listen to the emperor in the future."
Mrs. Shen was taken aback, "Then what about our master?" Shen Yunpei was an official in the Qing Dynasty, if no one listened to the emperor, would his life be lost?
Yang Jing'an pondered for a while and said, "I don't think it's a big deal for the master. He is knowledgeable and capable. Whoever is the master can't employ people? It's fine to employ my master."
Mrs. Shen nodded, "According to what you said, the emperor will no longer be in Longting, so those seals are useless? Will the sealed-up shop belong to our family again?"
This is what Yang Jing'an wants to know the most. Yan Maoyong and Haigan Animal Husbandry Company were seized by the Qing Dynasty. Does the Revolutionary Party recognize it?Is it confiscated together or returned to the owner?He thought for a while and replied, "I can't say it well, but the Revolutionary Party has put in so much effort for the purpose of making a fortune. Even if it is returned to us, it will cost a lot of money."
Mrs. Shen can take it seriously, "At this stage of the field, if we can redeem the shop with money, our Shen family will take advantage of it."
When it was getting dark, the family members who followed Shen Yunpei to Qingkou came back to deliver letters. Shen Yunpei heard about the Haizhou Incident and received the imperial order on the way, so he went back to the capital directly. He asked Mrs. Shen to take good care of the house. The family is safe, and the instructions are basically the same as what Mrs. Shen did.However, I added a sentence at the end of the letter, the revolutionary party is a foreign faction, and they can be regarded as civilized people, and they will not do anything to the family members of upright officials, so Madam Shen should relax.
Madam Shen put away the letter and asked again, "What do the revolutionary parties look like?"
Yang Jingan thought about it and answered, "I heard that the braids will be cut off, but the rest is the same as us."
"Men don't have braids, just like women's big feet, isn't that ugly?" Mrs. Shen didn't believe it. At this moment, her suppressed emotions had been relieved a lot, and she also felt tired, so she yawned.
Yang Jing'an hurriedly said, "Madam, you should go to bed earlier, the master has already said so, it is estimated that nothing serious will happen, besides, I am still at home."
After settled Mrs. Shen, Yang Jing'an went to the door and borrowed some alcohol. He really wanted to see the true face of the legendary revolutionary who fled to the sky and escaped from the ground, so he walked down the street to the door of the government office.
The government office was chaotic, and the people who came out and in were all unfamiliar faces, no different from the common country coolies on the streets on weekdays, but the braid that had followed the Chinese for hundreds of years was missing behind everyone.This is also Fan Tianlong's idea. He is already a fake revolutionary party, so he has to look more decent, so as to save himself from being exposed.The bandits didn't care about what their parents said about their body, hair and skin. Their arms, legs and even their lives were worth living for a day.He stretched his head over with a smile, felt relieved with a click, and then greeted the people behind him with a smile, come quickly, it's all right.Even Zhong Han was pushed over. In Fan Tianlong's words, you are the leader of our group, and you have to take the lead.The voice fell, and Zhong Han's braid also fell to the ground.
What to do after cutting the braids, these reckless heroes, you look at me, I look at you, still have no idea.In the past, the purpose of attacking cities and looting land was to grab money and grain, and they ran away after grabbing.Some people suggested that it is better to turn Haizhou City upside down as before, and continue to be the king of the mountain.Some people don't like it, but they can't live a good life in the city, but they still go back to the mountains to suffer?Besides, even the bullshit guardian envoy has been driven away, so this is not for nothing.Everyone quarreled for a while, Qiqi looked at Zhong Han, he was the one who led the way into Haizhou City, everyone listened to him what to do.
From entering the city until now, Zhong Han's mind has been buzzing with fear and pride, and a kind of excitement arose because of this.He vaguely felt that the world would be different from now on, but how it was different and how to make it different, he had no plans in mind.Fan Tianlong gave Zhong Han a wink, and the two left the crowd, found an empty room and closed the door.Fan Tianlong looked at Zhong Han with a smile and asked, "Are you planning to withdraw?"
Zhong Han asked, "Otherwise, what should we do? We are not a real revolutionary party." After he finished speaking, he suddenly realized that a thought flashed through his mind, "Who are you?"
He guessed right, the person in front of him reporting Fan Tianlong was a real revolutionary, he had accepted the mission a year ago, and capturing Haizhou City was only the first step of his plan.
Zhong Han suddenly turned cold, "So, we are all your pawns?"
Fan Tianlong hurriedly said that he didn't dare, he knew Zhong Han's strength, once he turned his face, the heroes of the Eighteenth Route Army would probably be scattered along with him, and he, the revolutionary party, became a polished commander, so why talk about revolution?So he put on a frank face, "The head of the family, the younger brother is surnamed Yu, and his name is Jiatai. He is also a child of a good family. He joined the Tongmenghui because he hated the Qing Dynasty and his life was miserable. He followed Mr. Sun and became a revolutionary party. It is to save the people from suffering, so that everyone can live a good life. In fact, I have heard about your deeds, killing the rich and helping the poor, and saving people from suffering, but how much can you save with the power of one person and one cottage? Revolution is It is necessary to gather all those who are not used to this world, and come together to do something earth-shaking."
They chatted all night, and they couldn't tell if Zhong Han was persuaded by Yu Jiatai's words, or he himself had this kind of awakening. What everyone saw was that at dawn, someone came from outside the city and gave him a gift. The flag of the Revolutionary Party, and hundreds of brand new military uniforms.Zhong Han personally planted the flag on the eaves of the government office, and put the military uniform on the brothers who were bandits yesterday.The meaning speaks for itself.Then Yu Jiatai proposed that Zhong Han be the new governor of Haizhou City, and telegraph all over the country, officially announcing that Haizhou was separated from the Qing government and Haizhou was restored.It should have been a matter of course, but it was opposed by the leaders of the other seventeen teams.
Last night, Zhong Han and Yu Jiakang planned all night in the dark room, and they were not idle outside.Haizhou City is a fat piece of meat. Being a governor can not only whitewash one's background and honor one's ancestors, but also make a lot of money. Who wants to hand over such beautiful things to others?What Huaibei's chief executive officer is, it's just everyone's face, if it's really convinced, everyone has another scale in their hearts.Among them, the loudest one was Feng Tianbao, the leader of the other team in Jinping Mountain. He was around forty, with a sinister and aloof personality.
They are all aggressive and reckless people. As soon as Yu Jiakang finished speaking, he stood up and yelled, "How can that be done? If you ask me, we should be fair. Let's compete, and whoever wins will decide!"
2,
Compared with marksmanship, in the early morning of the next day, several groups of people ran out of the Dudu Mansion, all the way straight to Nancheng, and set up a simple shooting range, and the other groups split up and ran to the famous families in Haizhou City, asking them to send People go outside the city to fight and be a witness.When the news got out, Haizhou City was a sensation, and the common people didn't care about eating, so they left their jobs and ran out of the city, looking for an excellent location.Those who were calmer, such as Yang Jing'an, Wei Yucen, etc., were "supported" by the soldiers from left to right, and sat on the hastily erected viewing platform early.This was Zhong Han's idea, no matter who won the first place today, the people of Haizhou must see it with their own eyes, so as to avoid disputes in the future.Yang Jing'an's eyes were slightly closed, and he dared not speak out. In his opinion, from now on, Haizhou is a hell on earth, a hell controlled by bandits.He really wished that a group of heavenly soldiers would suddenly appear and wipe out the bandits in one fell swoop.But the turbulent buzzing told him that this was just a matter of thinking.Wei Yucen suddenly came over and said in Yang Jingan's ear, "I heard that Mr. Gu hasn't left this land yet, maybe he will come back someday." Yang Jingan opened his eyes, his gaze tightened, and he pierced Wei Yucen's body like a needle point, It made him feel a little redundant.Yang Jing'an suddenly laughed, "What does it matter to me whether he comes back or not?" After speaking, he closed his eyes again, making Wei Yucen even more regretful.He just wants to sell it well. In this world, with many friends and many paths, he has long since lost the intention of competing for supremacy in Haizhou City. It is best to live in peace. Yang Jingan's character is poor, but he does have skills , otherwise the Shen family can be played in the applause?Unexpectedly, it was self-defeating.He will never learn to be truly slick in all his life. He is only suitable for doing business diligently.
Shen Xiaoru and his party stayed in the countryside for only one night. Shen Hao fell ill because of the unaccustomed environment, and Shen Xiaoru couldn't stand the simplicity and hardship of the countryside. The next morning, he found out that there were not many changes in the city, so he packed up and went back. government.Wen Qingyun also wanted to go back, she was thinking of two people, one was Wen Qingzhu, before she left, she deliberately went back to her mother's house, and wanted to take Qing Zhu away, but Qing Zhu refused to say anything, so she had to give up.Back in Haizhou this time, Wen Qingyun thought that no matter what, she would take Qingzhu to live with her. In the years of war and chaos, a girl had a single family, so she was worried.The second thing that disturbed her was Zhong Han.Gu Baoshan said that someone was caught and put in prison, whether it was true or not, it made her terrified.Who knows if the Revolutionary Party will make an example, and who knows if his Zhongjiazhai will survive in this troubled world?She had to go back and find out.
At the gate of the city, the carriage stopped.Wen Qingyun asked Xuelian to get out of the car to see, and she was stunned.Wen Yuzhu was wearing a brand-new military uniform, riding majestically on a horse. Behind him was a group of soldiers in new military uniforms, stepping irregularly, stepping out of dust and smoke for a long time, fascinated the eyes of the common people.
Zhong Han and other heroes of the Seventeenth Route stood on the stage, each with a fast gun, the jet-black barrel pointed at a target ten feet away, no one knew who gave the order, and eighteen barrels fired at the same time. The flames and the sound of the explosion caused the common people to cover their ears, and the timid ones began to shrink back, only to be pushed up by the brave ones behind.
The heroes all have good marksmanship, but they are not as good as Zhong Han's one-hundred-step piercing skill. Three bullets flew out of a round hole like eyes.Those who watched the excitement and the gatekeepers applauded together.
Out of the corner of Zhong Han's eye, he caught sight of Wen Qingyun in the distance, collided with her gaze, and immediately bounced away.
Zhong Han said to all the faces on the viewing platform, "Who else is not convinced?" He asked three times, but no one answered, so he quickly threw his hands away, and bowed his hands to the common people, "Haizhou City!" Folks and folks, Zhong Han was originally reduced to a reckless man. Thanks to his brothers, he was elected as the leader of the Huaibei [-]th Road Heroes. He robbed the rich and helped the poor, donated righteousness and donated money, and asked himself to be worthy of the conscience of the world. Now, I am appointed by the National Revolutionary Army. The governor of Haizhou, if someone refuses to accept it, he can teach him at any time."
The scene was silent, and the people who had doubts at first completely stopped thinking about it. Who can be more meticulous than Zhong Han? Last night, he came with the banner and military uniform to get the letter of commission. Filling in the name with a swipe of a pen is a firm fact.You said that he had premeditated and knew that he would win, so he might as well blame himself for being inferior to others.Recklessness has the benefits of recklessness, and I am willing to gamble and admit defeat.
The gentry are not convinced, but with the gun in their hands, who dares to say anything?
Zhong Han paused for a while, and then said: "Since there is no objection, I will issue a few orders. First, do not disturb the people. Second, all common people and businesses will continue to operate as usual. Third, this third is..." He read Glancing at Yu Jiakang in the audience, "Old Yu, let's talk about it."
Even Yu Jiakang was a little surprised that he was so informal. He walked forward with a wry smile and replaced Zhong Han. Then he began to say some new words that ordinary people could not understand, revolution, reform, democracy, self-reliance...
Wen Qingyun kept watching, her eyes gradually turning red.Yuzhu has grown up and is promising. Her dream of living one day to go home with her head held high has come true like a dream.No one welcomes this change more than her, otherwise, her brother will not come back!
Zhong Han's new government was extremely efficient and posted notices all over the streets in the afternoon. There were two things. First, there were bandits in Haizhou City as the governor, and second, these bandits would never disturb the people.The bandits can't figure it out, if they don't disturb the people and don't steal money, what are they doing here?However, seeing Zhong Han's prestige over the years, everyone swallowed these words in their stomachs, and nodded in agreement.Zhong Han was also afraid that he might not open the treasury of the government office properly, so he took out all the silver stored in it and distributed it to his brothers, at least to ensure safety for a while.When Yu Jiatai found out, he lost his temper, saying that he was a bandit, but unfortunately, the end was done and it was irreversible.
Haizhou City has regained its vitality. For the people, whether it is recovery or riots, the life of firewood, rice, oil and salt must continue. Since there are no soldiers running around, the hawkers who set up stalls set up tables and chairs Zhang, the bolder ones, went to the gate of the government office to start a business. They said what happened to the revolutionary party, don't they need to eat?
In the alley in front of Shen’s house, there were also sparse vegetable farmers picking up fresh vegetables with dew in a row, and the shouting gradually became louder. After a while, carriages and cars blocked the entrance of the alley, Haizhou City All the reputable businessmen arrived.In the living room of Shen's house, Yang Jing'an said with grief and indignation: "No matter what is going on in the world today, we can't let a bandit dominate us. Isn't it rare for everyone to be harmed by him? He wants to be the governor, on my behalf The Shen family was the first to object!"
If there are those who take the lead, there will be those who follow him, Qiao, the shopkeeper of the cotton cloth shop, stood up with his big belly in his hands, "I agree with Boss Yang, our Haizhou City has outstanding people, and it has been a country of etiquette and a land of gentlemen since ancient times. Let's make a pot of good soup if the fish stirs up the fish!"
When Wen Qingyun walked in, people were already in a turmoil. Seeing her, they all shut their mouths together, but Yang Jingan stood up excitedly, "Our eldest young mistress was also tied up on the mountain by him. Such a bandit, we Absolutely no appeasement, don’t you think so, young mistress?”
Everyone's eyes fell on Wen Qingyun, and what they thought of was the rumors that had spread throughout the city that the young mistress of the Shen family had an affair with the bandit leader Zhong Han!As for the matter between men and women, if someone spreads it, others will believe it. It will only add fuel to the story, and there is absolutely no possibility of clarification.
Seeing that Wen Qingyun didn't speak, Yang Jingan continued, "What's more, Zhong Han will insult the reputation of a good woman. This alone is already too much to tolerate!"
Wen Qingyun was driven to a desperate situation, she didn't want to agree, no matter why Zhong Han became a revolutionary party, she didn't want him to taste the bitter fruit of failure as soon as he succeeded, besides this kind of head-losing rebel revolution, failure is tantamount to death .She couldn't disagree, as long as she shook her head, the rumors between them would be confirmed, and there would be no possibility of innocence in the future.She had no choice but to look at Yang Jing'an, smiled and said, "This is a major event in Haizhou City, and I will listen to everyone's opinions."
Zhong Han did not know when he arrived at the door, but no one noticed when the room was full, until he said, "I gave you a chance just now, if you are not convinced, you can say it, but you don't. Now talk about it behind your back, shameless villain!" No one saw clearly when he took out a short gun from his arms, aimed at the Jingdezhen vase in the middle of the living room, pulled the trigger, and the vase shattered!
This pistol technique shocked everyone. He seemed to glance at Wen Qingyun casually, and immediately said to Yang Jing'an, "You are the famous Steward Yang, right? I have admired you for a long time!"
Yang Jing'an's face turned white and red, he could hear the sarcasm in his words, Zhong Han clearly came to seek the Shen family's bad luck, maybe it was Wen Qingyun's fault.
Zhong Han dragged his gun around the room, and still stopped in front of Yang Jingan, "By the way, what do I want to say, the revolutionary army needs food and wages, so please ask Butler Yang to lead the way, everyone bleeds, support the revolution , the merit is immeasurable." After speaking, he left as if no one else was there.
The big guys wanted to get together and come up with a way to deal with Zhong Han, but they didn't want to be blamed by others. They felt unlucky, and they were not polite, "Steward Yang, we are a small family, and we have just paid Mr. Gu's apportionment. Now I have to pay money to the Revolutionary Party, and I really can’t afford it.”
"Yes, we are no bigger than your Shen family. We don't care about these little money. Isn't it fatal?"
"Steward Yang, you are familiar with Mr. Gu, do you know when the emperor's soldiers will come back? He can't let us good people, right?"
"You can't ignore us, you called us here... What kind of thing is this?"
Yang Jing'an glanced around with hatred, "Useless things! You will give him what he wants? Isn't there a consultative bureau after the revolution? Someone can control him, and everyone jointly signed a letter to publicize his scandal Go out and see how long he can be proud? No matter how capable he is, he can kill all of our Haizhou City?"
When things turned out like this, Yang Jing'an felt that it was necessary to inform Mrs. Shen, after all, Mrs. Shen was still the head of the family in name.Mrs. Shen was playing with Shen Hao in the room. After hearing Yang Jing'an finished speaking, she sighed, "Jing'an, I'm not in a good mood right now. You can handle the family affairs according to your needs."
Since Shen Xiaoru's family came back, Mrs. Shen didn't say anything on the surface, but she still liked it in her heart. She didn't understand the reason why the country and the nation rebelled. At this age, the most important thing is to be able to enjoy the family relationship with the family.It's just that Shen Xiaofang was missing, and the family members who sent him to the countryside told him that he ran away halfway, leaving a message that he wanted to serve the country in the army.
3,
On the old seat of Tianxiang Pavilion, Wen Qingyun and Zhong Han sat opposite each other.However, after two days, a strangeness that had nothing to do with time was born in the hearts of the two of them.Xu Shi said too much that day, too much, and there was no room for maneuver.Shopkeeper Wen delivered the food in person, nodded and bowed, and smiled all over his face, "Master Zhong, I have long seen that you are not a mortal. What did I say, this dragon must have a time to fly into the sky. Today's meal is a filial piety for the small shop." , you two are eating and drinking, I told them, don’t disturb them, if you need anything, just order.”
Zhong Han nodded, his indifferent expression remained the same as before, he looked embarrassed at Shopkeeper Wen, and stepped back to go out.
Wen Qingyun couldn't help smiling, "You're an adult now, the governor of Haizhou City, the leader of the Revolutionary Party, you really look at me with admiration every three days."
"You came to me not just to say these few words?" Zhong Han turned his gaze back.
Wen Qingyun stopped laughing, she had more important things to say, "You heard it all. Make up your mind." She was referring to the voiceover of the shopkeeper just now, and also referring to the small waves that were caused in Yang Jing'an of Shen's house before.
"We're fine, who care what they say?" Zhong Han picked up a fish with chopsticks and put it on a plate instead of eating it.The fish eyes stared at him with white eyes.
When Wen Qingyun opened her mouth, she would finish her sentence, "People's words are terrifying. Today is different from the past. You can't help but care."
"What do you want me to do?" Zhong Han looked at her, his pupils were getting bigger and bigger, and he engulfed her in it.
Wen Qingyun did not evade, and said word by word, "Get married, marry a daughter-in-law, and keep their mouths shut, so that you can stay in Haizhou City."
Zhong Han's expression darkened. Yu Jiakang said this last night, but he stared back.They all knew his heart and wanted to go against his heart.But now he really wants to know which girl she arranged for him.
"Qing Zhu has always praised you as a real man and a hero. She said that if she married someone, she would marry someone like you." After Wen Qingyun finished speaking, her heart twitched, feeling sore.
Zhong Han was stunned, she was serious, and actually wanted to give him her sister, stunned for a while, then asked mockingly, "I'm a bandit, are you willing?"
Wen Qingyun thought it over a long time ago, and replied, "Heroes don't ask where they come from. Zhu Yuanzhang is still a beggar, and he also made a fortune."
"You lift me up."
"I am for both of us." Having said that, Wen Qingyun exhausted all her efforts, her eyes drooped and landed on the table, "Listen to me, I will not harm you, let alone My own sister. I have selfish intentions, and I don't want you to marry someone from another family. This way we are considered relatives, and we are not afraid of gossip when we come and go. In the future, we will still rely on you. "
"Yes, you still want your Yan Maoyong, your Kenmu Company, you can't let me be driven away by them immediately." Zhong Han became impatient, and his tone became bitter.
"Whatever you think," Wen Qingyun wanted to say, but was interrupted by Zhong Han.
"What do you want me to think? You know what I think about you. I let you go with me. You are reluctant to part with the dignity of the young mistress of the Shen family. Now you want me to marry your sister, you are too cruel."
Wen Qingyun said with tears in her eyes: "I won't go with you because we have nowhere to go. I can't leave Qingzhu and Yuzhu behind. Do you think I'm willing to live like this? Open your eyes and worry about whether the sky will fall The whole family depends on me, who can I rely on? Step by step to today, you know, it is not easy for me."
Later, Zhong Han felt that he was convinced by the last few words.The most rare thing in this world is a confidant. If you know it, you should understand it, and all your persistence and hostility will be wiped out.There is a most vulgar saying that when he hates not to meet and is not married, he feels that no one can blame him but himself.
Wen Qingyun knew that this matter had been settled, and while she was relieved, her eyes were also red.She never dared to think about what kind of feelings she had for Zhong Han.At this moment, my heart hurts like being cut by a knife.She felt that all the superficial and vague fantasies disappeared, and the only extravagant dream in this life was shattered.She still had to grit her teeth and smile, tears streaming down the corners of her eyes, and she couldn't hide them even if she wanted to.
Wen Qingyun returned to the small courtyard in the afternoon, and Qing Zhu blushed as soon as she started talking. "It's all up to my sister." She whispered like a mosquito.Wen Qingyun became angry for some reason, "You have to make up your own mind about your own lifelong affairs!" Qing Zhu didn't expect her to lose her temper, and looked at her at a loss.Wen Qingyun was startled to lose her composure, and hurriedly said, "You have to like yourself. The most important thing for a woman is to marry someone she really likes. Don't be like your sister..." She shut up and couldn't say anymore, because just now At that moment, she wanted to overthrow everything, so she really didn't care, and followed him, and the mountains and rivers went far away!
Qing Zhu nodded, she was a shy woman who grew up under the care of her elder sister and younger brother, and had no chance to make up her mind.But she knew that from the first time she saw Zhong Han, she had worshiped him as a hero in her dreams.Being able to marry him was a dream she dared not dream day and night.
The wedding was hasty but lively. Zhong Han's brothers were all determined to make their eldest brother look good, and all of them had their own skills, so they put up the new house with all their hands and feet.The shops and shops on the streets of Haizhou City were worried that they could not find a chance to serve the newly appointed parent officials, so they were naturally on call, and they could pick up all the items they needed.Yu Jiatai repeatedly warned them that they must pay the money, stop treating themselves as bandits, and remember that they are a revolutionary soldier.The bandits didn't care about this, even Zhong Han laughed it off.Even if it's not a bandit, even if the magistrate is getting married, I haven't heard that you have to pay for a few benches from someone?
The most exciting thing is Wen Yuzhu, who has been nesting in the mountains for several years and has transformed into the uncle of the governor. Not only can he walk on the street in a dignified manner, but he can also turn back all doubting eyes with pride.
Before the wedding, Wen Qingyun was brought to Wen Yuntang's grave by her younger siblings. After so long, she finally fulfilled her promise and comforted her father's spirit in heaven.
"Kowtow to Dad," Wen Qingyun poured out all the tears she had endured for several years, "Dad, don't worry, we will never be separated again in the future."
What Wen Qingyun thought was that Qingzhu would get married, and Yuzhu should continue his studies. Unexpectedly, just halfway through the conversation, Wen Yuzhu objected.
"Sister, I still want to follow Brother Zhong." His tone was calm, but there was the typical stubbornness of the Wen family in it.
Wen Qingyun asked, "You are still young, what can you do with him?"
"Fighting the country, the world has changed, are you afraid that I won't have a place to use my skills?"
Wen Qingyun was deeply worried by Wen Yuzhu's ambition, so she had to say that this matter will be discussed later, and what matters now is Qing Zhu's marriage.
The wedding went smoothly. In Wen Qingyun's view, a wedding without a coffin is a good wedding.Zhong Han was toasting at the table in his groom's gown. At first the big guy thought that the big guy was in a good mood, but later he found out that he was desperately getting himself drunk, not for the happiness of the big wedding.Feng Laojiu persuaded, Yu Jiatai persuaded, and finally Wen Yuzhu also persuaded, whoever persuaded Zhong Han to drink with whom, his alcohol capacity was amazing, he drank everyone too much, and his steps appeared vain.It's a good thing, at least those brothers who drank too much will forget about the bridal chamber that they have been thinking about just now, saving more trouble.
Wen Qingzhu was sitting in the bridal chamber, and Xiu Gu, who became a bride, stood aside and watched coldly, they could hear each other's breathing, but they refused to speak.Aunt Xiu didn't understand, what happened to Brother Zhong, why did he insist on entanglement with the Wen family's women? Could it be that there are no other women in this world?Zhong Han was not carried back until midnight.Xiugu sighed, she blamed Wen Qingyun for making such a fuss.They are all women, and he understands Wen Qingyun's thoughts better than anyone else.After setting up Zhong Han, Xiugu left quietly.Wen Qingzhu didn't know what to do, she clasped her embroidered robe with her fingers, and shed tears drop by drop.
In the west courtyard of Shen's house, Wen Qingyun was not at peace. She didn't go to the wedding, and locked herself in the room for a whole day. Xuelian guarded the door worriedly. In the evening, Wen Qingyun shouted, "I want to drink, bring me some wine." .
Xue Lian had never seen her young lady like this before, laughing for a while, crying for a while, drinking for a while, crying for a while, laughing for a while, chanting words, but couldn't make out what she said.Until she was drunk, fell on the bed, grabbed Xue Lian's arm, and whispered, "Who knows the pain in my heart?"
4,
After the marriage, the gossip is automatically cut off.Zhong Han gained a firm foothold in Haizhou City, and unconditionally returned the seized Sheng Maoyong and Haigan Animal Husbandry Company to the Shen family.Yang Jing'an made a fuss about fetching water from a bamboo basket, and gritted his teeth with hatred for Wen Qingyun and Zhong Han.
At this time, Mrs. Shen understood that the Shen family couldn't do without Wen Qingyun. One morning, Mrs. Shen called the whole family together again, and handed over a bunch of house keys to Wen Qingyun in front of everyone. "From now on, this home will belong to you." Mrs. Shen said this, and everyone listened with their own thoughts.Wen Qingyun took the key and gave a big gift to Mrs. Shen. She knew that all the conditions were ripe and it was time to attack.
Dongmei panicked more than anyone else, she left the main room and ran to find Yang Jing'an.
"Uncle, what can we do now?"
"What are you in a hurry for? Don't let the eldest daughter-in-law be the head of the house. Do you want an aunt to hold the key?" Yang Jing'an teased angrily, "Remember, if people are not human enough, they will destroy themselves sooner or later."
Dongmei said bluntly, "I'm worried for your old man. Any of the things you do, if she gets caught, is enough for you to drink a pot."
Yang Jing'an snorted coldly, "She wants to punish me? It's not that easy. Don't think I'm broken, our best show is yet to come, keep your eyes open and wait and see."
Yang Jing'an seemed to have a plan in her mind, which reassured Dongmei a little. She really wasn't for herself, she was for Shen Hao's future. With this uncle, Shen Hao still had a bowl of Anle tea and rice. Yun has become a trend, how can the two of them have a good life?
Everyone dispersed, Wen Qingyun stayed in the main room, and told Mrs. Shen all the bad deeds of Yang Jing'an collected over the years.
Mrs. Shen didn't believe it, Wen Qingyun said something, and Mrs. Shen asked, really?can you?Wen Qingyun raised her hand and swore that everything she said was true.
"Mother, if you say that I have the slightest malice towards the Shen family, can the shop still come back? I know there are some things you may not understand for a while, but I beg you, allow me to rectify our business, especially the Haigan company. It's Dad's hard work, you don't want it to be destroyed alive, do you?"
Madam Shen was moved by these words, so she acquiesced in Wen Qingyun's plan to take Yang Jingan out of the picture. Under Madam Shen's arrangement, Shen Xiaoru came forward to take over the Kenmu Company, so that both internally and externally, there would be an explanation, and Yang Jingan would not be too aggressive. chilling.Then Wen Qingyun summoned all the shopkeepers of the Shen family's shops, pointing out one by one their crimes of colluding with Yang Jing'an, or letting them go.
Wen Qingyun talked about a cup of tea, stopped talking, looked at the pious group in front of him, and waited for them all to concentrate before saying seriously, "I don't want to pursue these things."
The shopkeepers were stunned. After escaping from the dead, they didn't understand what the eldest young mistress wanted to do.
"I didn't pursue it because you accepted the coercion, not intentionally harming my Shen family. But you have to do something for me..."
"Eldest young mistress, please tell me if you have something to say, we will do our best."
"Eldest young mistress, just say what you want us to do, and we will make atonement!"
Wen Qingyun nodded in satisfaction, "I want you to jointly write a letter of love and tell the master what Butler Yang has done these years."
The shopkeepers were a little hesitant. If the matter went to Shen Yunpei, would they still have it?
"I promise to speak good words for you in front of the master, otherwise," Wen Qingyun pushed open the window, and the shopkeepers saw a row of revolutionaries with live ammunition, standing majestically on the street, "I don't want to embarrass you, I'm afraid The officials will not let you go. We all have some wealth, and we don’t want to be paid as officials, right?”
While Wen Qingyun was busy making arrangements, Yang Jing'an got Mrs. Shen's approval, and went to the countryside alone to recuperate. Before leaving, she told Dongmei that no matter what happened, she must hold back, and when she was proud, she must not let anything happen.
After leaving the city, Yang Jing'an went straight to the capital, he wanted to find Shen Yunpei, and fight back.
5,
The city of Beijing is in the center of the vortex, and the ministers in the imperial court are divided into two factions. One faction advocates the war. A decent step with the emperor.The little emperor and the empress dowager had no idea. They listened to one side and listened to the other side. They had to rely heavily on either side, and they couldn't afford to offend either side.More nobles from the Eight Banners, after the attempted assassination of Prince Jin Zaipei by Wang Jingwei and others, shrank in their respective mansions, complaining of illness one after another, not daring to come forward.The doors of all the houses were tightly closed, and it seemed that it was only a stick of incense from the bustling city to the deserted ones.Except for the mansion of Yuan Shikai, who was dismissed and came back to save the crisis, and was appointed Prime Minister of the Cabinet, the Zhu Hong gate was open from morning to night, and the sedan chairs that came to discuss matters, inquire about ways to give gifts, blocked an entire alley, and Shen Yunpei's sedan chair was also there. Inside, he had already seen the situation clearly and knew that the Qing Dynasty was exhausted, so he came to see Mr. Yuan in name of a visit, but in fact he mainly focused on the word "exploration".Since the last time he failed to ask for help, Shen Yunpei had already felt a little alienated from Yuan Shikai in his heart. He was helpless because he was too strong, and after turning a corner, he still wanted to bow his head and smile with him.
The small flower hall in the Yuan Mansion is where the host receives guests. There are several chairs and a tea table with sour pear branches. On the wall are some calligraphy and paintings, all of which are contemporary products. There is a large vase in the corner with a few sticks Phoenix tail bamboo is the only decoration.Shen Yunpei sat down and tidied up his appearance. He came here today in casual clothes, so that this meeting would be more friendly.At this moment, I feel that something is wrong. If Mr. Yuan comes out in official clothes, wouldn't he be ridiculed again?Fortunately, Yuan Shikai was also wearing casual clothes, and he arrived before anyone was heard, and asked with a smile, "Brother Yunpei, how have you been doing?"
Shen Yunpei breathed a sigh of relief, quickly stood up and saluted, "Master Yuan..."
"Hey, why are you being polite, just order casually at your own home." Yuan Shikai seemed in a good mood, and he didn't feel tired after a long day of work. Make snacks and put them on a plate, brother Yunpei and I chat while eating."
Shen Yunpei was flattered, and Master Yuan didn't look like he refused his request just now, or else his acting skills had reached the peak, and he could treat it as nothing if he had something to do.
"Master Yuan," Shen Yunpei said in a sincere tone, leaning his body on a chair with half of his buttocks on the chair, "Look at the current situation..."
Yuan Shikai raised his eyelids, his eyes flashed, and he hid his smile behind his face, "The situation is tense. Isn't Master Shen's hometown also hung the flag of the Revolutionary Party?"
"Master Yuan, what do you mean?"
"The general trend is that the old man was ordered in danger and had to come out to take care of the situation." Yuan Shikai sighed half-truthfully, "It is said that the emperor's grace is mighty, so I have to fight this old life. Why don't Master Shen stop being an official? You can do business, and you can also prosper the country. Whether it is a constitution or a republic, you have to wear clothes and eat, and you have to collect taxes, right?"
Speaking of this, Shen Yunpei had a solid idea in his mind. Before he could speak, Yuan Shikai asked again, "I heard that the railway that has been planned for a long time has not even studied where the terminal will end? The Belgians can say, if If we don’t start work at the beginning of next year, even if we break the contract, we will have to pay someone a sum of money. Brother Yunpei, I will leave this matter to you. Anyway, you are also the servant of the postal department. You can’t just take your salary and do nothing. "
Shen Yunpei was startled, and hurriedly stood up, "Master Yuan, it's not that the villain procrastinates on purpose, it's really difficult. Originally, I have hired someone to survey and map this railway terminal, and it is most suitable in Haizhou. It is connected to the port. Connecting the front line by land can greatly increase our transportation capacity."
"Then do it."
"But there are people who object." Shen Yunpei smiled bitterly, "Master Zhang Jian thinks that the terminal of the railway should be built in Nantong, and he also said that I am a 'village spirit', 'buying and selling wasteland and increasing the northern line', 'in order to make money poor' And now', I can't do anything about it."
"Nonsense." Yuan Shikai's eyes widened. "When is it, and you're still arguing about it? I've decided on this matter, and I will do as you want. The important thing is to hurry up and not let the Belgians say anything." , I don’t have time to socialize with those foreigners.”
When Shen Yunpei came out of Yuan's house, his steps were much easier, but he didn't expect that there would be another trouble waiting for him at the door of his own house.
Yang Jing'an came for about an hour, the porter followed from the Shen family in Haizhou, he knew him well, and asked him to wait inside, but he refused, and asked the porter to move a stool and sit at the door.It's also good to show Shen Yunpei a good look at this body of travel and dust.
When Shen Yunpei saw him, he frowned slightly, and stretched out his hand to block Yang Jingan's heartfelt words, "Let's go in first."
Yang Jingan couldn't figure out the basis of this tone, he felt guilty first, and followed Shen Yunpei into the living room.Before he knelt down and cried, Shen Yunpei snorted coldly, "You really dare to come?"
"Master, I have a grievance." Yang Jing'an's voice was choked up, with tears in his eyes, "Master, please make the decision for me."
Shen Yunpei nodded, "Okay, come on, call me Mi Fu."
Mi Fu was sent to the capital by Wen Qingyun on the day Yang Jing'an left, and sent a joint letter from the shopkeepers to Shen Yunpei, explaining in more detail what had happened to the Shen family in Haizhou these days.
Shen Yunpei looked at Yang Jing'an coldly, "What else do you have to say?"
Sweat broke out on Yang Jing'an's forehead, he lowered his head and was at a loss.
"It's because I trust you so much that I hand over the Shen family to you. That's how you repay me? If I hadn't promised my wife that I would let you live no matter what, I would hand you over to the yamen now and let them have a good trial. Shen, don't think I don't know how Zhang Mozhi died! How many lives have been lost on you, do you want me to tell you one by one?"
Yang Jing'an felt like a thunderbolt sounded above his head, which made him unable to stand still. He knelt down and said, "I didn't, they framed me..."
Shen Yunpei took out a letter from his arms and threw it on the ground, "It's written by Zhang Mozhi himself. You teamed up to dig out the Kenmu Company. The conspiracy was exposed. You killed people to silence it. Fortunately, he drank alcohol that night and escaped. There is really no evidence. And Du Wenjing, you also tipped the Green Gang, so do I need to say more?"
After Zhang Mozhi fled from Rizhao, Zhong Han sent people to look for him everywhere, and finally found him in a remote village.They offered to protect his safety and take him to a place where Zhang Jian could not find him, on the condition that he write a petition and send it to Shen Yunpei.In order to survive, Zhang Mozhi obeyed everything.
Yang Jing'an began to tremble. He was bumping all the way. He thought he could fight back, but he didn't expect to send himself to a dead end.It's useless to say anything at this moment, Shen Yunpei turned around and gave him a verdict, "You saved Madam's life, and now I will spare your life too. But I won't let you harm the Shen family again. From now on, you will Stay here honestly, without my permission, you are not allowed to take a step out of the room, do you hear me clearly?"
Yang Jing'an has been under house arrest in Beijing since then, and he never returned to Haizhou until his death.
(End of this chapter)
1,
The gunfire rang for a while and then fell silent, the soaring flames were doused by a heavy rain, and Haizhou City fell into an uneasy silence.Yang Jingan was fidgeting in the account room. His overall plan was only one step away from being completed. It was good that Gu Baoshan could hold Haizhou City. If he couldn't, those shops and banks would be in vain.At this moment, he really wanted to go out and see what was going on in the world, but he was afraid that he would throw himself into a trap and lose his life in vain, so he could only wander around the room like a headless chicken.
After waiting for about a cup of tea, there were voices gradually on the street, and the bold ones poked their heads out of the windows, looked left and right, and saw neither soldiers nor bandits.The servant who was sent out to inquire about the news came back and said that the gate of the yamen was a little strange, and the other places looked the same as usual, but the common people started to flee outside the city, and the countryside should always be calmer.After speaking, he raised his face to look at Yang Jing'an, and said, Chief Steward, let's run.Yang Jingan glanced at him, snorted coldly, what can I do if I run out?There is nothing left, it is better to stay and play by ear, maybe there is still a chance.
Yang Jing'an wanted to stay, but the Shen family fell and scattered.This is Mrs. Shen's insistence. Shen Xiaoru left with his wife and children, and Shen Xiaofang also left. The servants who had relatives went to visit relatives, and those who had no relatives relied on friends, almost dispersed.There are only a few old family members who have nowhere to go and stay in the house.Those who didn't want to wait for death squeezed out from the crack of the door and disappeared in a blink of an eye.Yang Jing'an felt a little sad for Mrs. Shen, if the Shen family treated these servants well all these years, so what?When it comes to critical times, who cares about your life?Thinking of this, he ran to the main room and asked Mrs. Shen through the window if she wanted something to eat, but the cook was gone, but he still remembered a few small dishes from his hometown, which he could cook to feed Mrs. Shen.
After the food and wine were served, Mrs. Shen asked Yang Jingan to sit down as well. There were no masters and servants at the moment, and both of them felt a little emotional. They ate, drank and chatted together like old friends to pass the time.At the beginning, they were all off-topic, what happened to you when I was young, and Madam Shen’s pretended relaxed expression disappeared as she spoke, she put the chopsticks on the table, and asked with a sad face, “Jing’an, how do you see this situation? When will the chaos be over?"
Yang Jing'an took a sip of his wine, "Ma'am, I heard that there has been chaos outside. Many places in the south have declared independence, and there is a new word called Guangfu, which means that they will not listen to the emperor in the future."
Mrs. Shen was taken aback, "Then what about our master?" Shen Yunpei was an official in the Qing Dynasty, if no one listened to the emperor, would his life be lost?
Yang Jing'an pondered for a while and said, "I don't think it's a big deal for the master. He is knowledgeable and capable. Whoever is the master can't employ people? It's fine to employ my master."
Mrs. Shen nodded, "According to what you said, the emperor will no longer be in Longting, so those seals are useless? Will the sealed-up shop belong to our family again?"
This is what Yang Jing'an wants to know the most. Yan Maoyong and Haigan Animal Husbandry Company were seized by the Qing Dynasty. Does the Revolutionary Party recognize it?Is it confiscated together or returned to the owner?He thought for a while and replied, "I can't say it well, but the Revolutionary Party has put in so much effort for the purpose of making a fortune. Even if it is returned to us, it will cost a lot of money."
Mrs. Shen can take it seriously, "At this stage of the field, if we can redeem the shop with money, our Shen family will take advantage of it."
When it was getting dark, the family members who followed Shen Yunpei to Qingkou came back to deliver letters. Shen Yunpei heard about the Haizhou Incident and received the imperial order on the way, so he went back to the capital directly. He asked Mrs. Shen to take good care of the house. The family is safe, and the instructions are basically the same as what Mrs. Shen did.However, I added a sentence at the end of the letter, the revolutionary party is a foreign faction, and they can be regarded as civilized people, and they will not do anything to the family members of upright officials, so Madam Shen should relax.
Madam Shen put away the letter and asked again, "What do the revolutionary parties look like?"
Yang Jingan thought about it and answered, "I heard that the braids will be cut off, but the rest is the same as us."
"Men don't have braids, just like women's big feet, isn't that ugly?" Mrs. Shen didn't believe it. At this moment, her suppressed emotions had been relieved a lot, and she also felt tired, so she yawned.
Yang Jing'an hurriedly said, "Madam, you should go to bed earlier, the master has already said so, it is estimated that nothing serious will happen, besides, I am still at home."
After settled Mrs. Shen, Yang Jing'an went to the door and borrowed some alcohol. He really wanted to see the true face of the legendary revolutionary who fled to the sky and escaped from the ground, so he walked down the street to the door of the government office.
The government office was chaotic, and the people who came out and in were all unfamiliar faces, no different from the common country coolies on the streets on weekdays, but the braid that had followed the Chinese for hundreds of years was missing behind everyone.This is also Fan Tianlong's idea. He is already a fake revolutionary party, so he has to look more decent, so as to save himself from being exposed.The bandits didn't care about what their parents said about their body, hair and skin. Their arms, legs and even their lives were worth living for a day.He stretched his head over with a smile, felt relieved with a click, and then greeted the people behind him with a smile, come quickly, it's all right.Even Zhong Han was pushed over. In Fan Tianlong's words, you are the leader of our group, and you have to take the lead.The voice fell, and Zhong Han's braid also fell to the ground.
What to do after cutting the braids, these reckless heroes, you look at me, I look at you, still have no idea.In the past, the purpose of attacking cities and looting land was to grab money and grain, and they ran away after grabbing.Some people suggested that it is better to turn Haizhou City upside down as before, and continue to be the king of the mountain.Some people don't like it, but they can't live a good life in the city, but they still go back to the mountains to suffer?Besides, even the bullshit guardian envoy has been driven away, so this is not for nothing.Everyone quarreled for a while, Qiqi looked at Zhong Han, he was the one who led the way into Haizhou City, everyone listened to him what to do.
From entering the city until now, Zhong Han's mind has been buzzing with fear and pride, and a kind of excitement arose because of this.He vaguely felt that the world would be different from now on, but how it was different and how to make it different, he had no plans in mind.Fan Tianlong gave Zhong Han a wink, and the two left the crowd, found an empty room and closed the door.Fan Tianlong looked at Zhong Han with a smile and asked, "Are you planning to withdraw?"
Zhong Han asked, "Otherwise, what should we do? We are not a real revolutionary party." After he finished speaking, he suddenly realized that a thought flashed through his mind, "Who are you?"
He guessed right, the person in front of him reporting Fan Tianlong was a real revolutionary, he had accepted the mission a year ago, and capturing Haizhou City was only the first step of his plan.
Zhong Han suddenly turned cold, "So, we are all your pawns?"
Fan Tianlong hurriedly said that he didn't dare, he knew Zhong Han's strength, once he turned his face, the heroes of the Eighteenth Route Army would probably be scattered along with him, and he, the revolutionary party, became a polished commander, so why talk about revolution?So he put on a frank face, "The head of the family, the younger brother is surnamed Yu, and his name is Jiatai. He is also a child of a good family. He joined the Tongmenghui because he hated the Qing Dynasty and his life was miserable. He followed Mr. Sun and became a revolutionary party. It is to save the people from suffering, so that everyone can live a good life. In fact, I have heard about your deeds, killing the rich and helping the poor, and saving people from suffering, but how much can you save with the power of one person and one cottage? Revolution is It is necessary to gather all those who are not used to this world, and come together to do something earth-shaking."
They chatted all night, and they couldn't tell if Zhong Han was persuaded by Yu Jiatai's words, or he himself had this kind of awakening. What everyone saw was that at dawn, someone came from outside the city and gave him a gift. The flag of the Revolutionary Party, and hundreds of brand new military uniforms.Zhong Han personally planted the flag on the eaves of the government office, and put the military uniform on the brothers who were bandits yesterday.The meaning speaks for itself.Then Yu Jiatai proposed that Zhong Han be the new governor of Haizhou City, and telegraph all over the country, officially announcing that Haizhou was separated from the Qing government and Haizhou was restored.It should have been a matter of course, but it was opposed by the leaders of the other seventeen teams.
Last night, Zhong Han and Yu Jiakang planned all night in the dark room, and they were not idle outside.Haizhou City is a fat piece of meat. Being a governor can not only whitewash one's background and honor one's ancestors, but also make a lot of money. Who wants to hand over such beautiful things to others?What Huaibei's chief executive officer is, it's just everyone's face, if it's really convinced, everyone has another scale in their hearts.Among them, the loudest one was Feng Tianbao, the leader of the other team in Jinping Mountain. He was around forty, with a sinister and aloof personality.
They are all aggressive and reckless people. As soon as Yu Jiakang finished speaking, he stood up and yelled, "How can that be done? If you ask me, we should be fair. Let's compete, and whoever wins will decide!"
2,
Compared with marksmanship, in the early morning of the next day, several groups of people ran out of the Dudu Mansion, all the way straight to Nancheng, and set up a simple shooting range, and the other groups split up and ran to the famous families in Haizhou City, asking them to send People go outside the city to fight and be a witness.When the news got out, Haizhou City was a sensation, and the common people didn't care about eating, so they left their jobs and ran out of the city, looking for an excellent location.Those who were calmer, such as Yang Jing'an, Wei Yucen, etc., were "supported" by the soldiers from left to right, and sat on the hastily erected viewing platform early.This was Zhong Han's idea, no matter who won the first place today, the people of Haizhou must see it with their own eyes, so as to avoid disputes in the future.Yang Jing'an's eyes were slightly closed, and he dared not speak out. In his opinion, from now on, Haizhou is a hell on earth, a hell controlled by bandits.He really wished that a group of heavenly soldiers would suddenly appear and wipe out the bandits in one fell swoop.But the turbulent buzzing told him that this was just a matter of thinking.Wei Yucen suddenly came over and said in Yang Jingan's ear, "I heard that Mr. Gu hasn't left this land yet, maybe he will come back someday." Yang Jingan opened his eyes, his gaze tightened, and he pierced Wei Yucen's body like a needle point, It made him feel a little redundant.Yang Jing'an suddenly laughed, "What does it matter to me whether he comes back or not?" After speaking, he closed his eyes again, making Wei Yucen even more regretful.He just wants to sell it well. In this world, with many friends and many paths, he has long since lost the intention of competing for supremacy in Haizhou City. It is best to live in peace. Yang Jingan's character is poor, but he does have skills , otherwise the Shen family can be played in the applause?Unexpectedly, it was self-defeating.He will never learn to be truly slick in all his life. He is only suitable for doing business diligently.
Shen Xiaoru and his party stayed in the countryside for only one night. Shen Hao fell ill because of the unaccustomed environment, and Shen Xiaoru couldn't stand the simplicity and hardship of the countryside. The next morning, he found out that there were not many changes in the city, so he packed up and went back. government.Wen Qingyun also wanted to go back, she was thinking of two people, one was Wen Qingzhu, before she left, she deliberately went back to her mother's house, and wanted to take Qing Zhu away, but Qing Zhu refused to say anything, so she had to give up.Back in Haizhou this time, Wen Qingyun thought that no matter what, she would take Qingzhu to live with her. In the years of war and chaos, a girl had a single family, so she was worried.The second thing that disturbed her was Zhong Han.Gu Baoshan said that someone was caught and put in prison, whether it was true or not, it made her terrified.Who knows if the Revolutionary Party will make an example, and who knows if his Zhongjiazhai will survive in this troubled world?She had to go back and find out.
At the gate of the city, the carriage stopped.Wen Qingyun asked Xuelian to get out of the car to see, and she was stunned.Wen Yuzhu was wearing a brand-new military uniform, riding majestically on a horse. Behind him was a group of soldiers in new military uniforms, stepping irregularly, stepping out of dust and smoke for a long time, fascinated the eyes of the common people.
Zhong Han and other heroes of the Seventeenth Route stood on the stage, each with a fast gun, the jet-black barrel pointed at a target ten feet away, no one knew who gave the order, and eighteen barrels fired at the same time. The flames and the sound of the explosion caused the common people to cover their ears, and the timid ones began to shrink back, only to be pushed up by the brave ones behind.
The heroes all have good marksmanship, but they are not as good as Zhong Han's one-hundred-step piercing skill. Three bullets flew out of a round hole like eyes.Those who watched the excitement and the gatekeepers applauded together.
Out of the corner of Zhong Han's eye, he caught sight of Wen Qingyun in the distance, collided with her gaze, and immediately bounced away.
Zhong Han said to all the faces on the viewing platform, "Who else is not convinced?" He asked three times, but no one answered, so he quickly threw his hands away, and bowed his hands to the common people, "Haizhou City!" Folks and folks, Zhong Han was originally reduced to a reckless man. Thanks to his brothers, he was elected as the leader of the Huaibei [-]th Road Heroes. He robbed the rich and helped the poor, donated righteousness and donated money, and asked himself to be worthy of the conscience of the world. Now, I am appointed by the National Revolutionary Army. The governor of Haizhou, if someone refuses to accept it, he can teach him at any time."
The scene was silent, and the people who had doubts at first completely stopped thinking about it. Who can be more meticulous than Zhong Han? Last night, he came with the banner and military uniform to get the letter of commission. Filling in the name with a swipe of a pen is a firm fact.You said that he had premeditated and knew that he would win, so he might as well blame himself for being inferior to others.Recklessness has the benefits of recklessness, and I am willing to gamble and admit defeat.
The gentry are not convinced, but with the gun in their hands, who dares to say anything?
Zhong Han paused for a while, and then said: "Since there is no objection, I will issue a few orders. First, do not disturb the people. Second, all common people and businesses will continue to operate as usual. Third, this third is..." He read Glancing at Yu Jiakang in the audience, "Old Yu, let's talk about it."
Even Yu Jiakang was a little surprised that he was so informal. He walked forward with a wry smile and replaced Zhong Han. Then he began to say some new words that ordinary people could not understand, revolution, reform, democracy, self-reliance...
Wen Qingyun kept watching, her eyes gradually turning red.Yuzhu has grown up and is promising. Her dream of living one day to go home with her head held high has come true like a dream.No one welcomes this change more than her, otherwise, her brother will not come back!
Zhong Han's new government was extremely efficient and posted notices all over the streets in the afternoon. There were two things. First, there were bandits in Haizhou City as the governor, and second, these bandits would never disturb the people.The bandits can't figure it out, if they don't disturb the people and don't steal money, what are they doing here?However, seeing Zhong Han's prestige over the years, everyone swallowed these words in their stomachs, and nodded in agreement.Zhong Han was also afraid that he might not open the treasury of the government office properly, so he took out all the silver stored in it and distributed it to his brothers, at least to ensure safety for a while.When Yu Jiatai found out, he lost his temper, saying that he was a bandit, but unfortunately, the end was done and it was irreversible.
Haizhou City has regained its vitality. For the people, whether it is recovery or riots, the life of firewood, rice, oil and salt must continue. Since there are no soldiers running around, the hawkers who set up stalls set up tables and chairs Zhang, the bolder ones, went to the gate of the government office to start a business. They said what happened to the revolutionary party, don't they need to eat?
In the alley in front of Shen’s house, there were also sparse vegetable farmers picking up fresh vegetables with dew in a row, and the shouting gradually became louder. After a while, carriages and cars blocked the entrance of the alley, Haizhou City All the reputable businessmen arrived.In the living room of Shen's house, Yang Jing'an said with grief and indignation: "No matter what is going on in the world today, we can't let a bandit dominate us. Isn't it rare for everyone to be harmed by him? He wants to be the governor, on my behalf The Shen family was the first to object!"
If there are those who take the lead, there will be those who follow him, Qiao, the shopkeeper of the cotton cloth shop, stood up with his big belly in his hands, "I agree with Boss Yang, our Haizhou City has outstanding people, and it has been a country of etiquette and a land of gentlemen since ancient times. Let's make a pot of good soup if the fish stirs up the fish!"
When Wen Qingyun walked in, people were already in a turmoil. Seeing her, they all shut their mouths together, but Yang Jingan stood up excitedly, "Our eldest young mistress was also tied up on the mountain by him. Such a bandit, we Absolutely no appeasement, don’t you think so, young mistress?”
Everyone's eyes fell on Wen Qingyun, and what they thought of was the rumors that had spread throughout the city that the young mistress of the Shen family had an affair with the bandit leader Zhong Han!As for the matter between men and women, if someone spreads it, others will believe it. It will only add fuel to the story, and there is absolutely no possibility of clarification.
Seeing that Wen Qingyun didn't speak, Yang Jingan continued, "What's more, Zhong Han will insult the reputation of a good woman. This alone is already too much to tolerate!"
Wen Qingyun was driven to a desperate situation, she didn't want to agree, no matter why Zhong Han became a revolutionary party, she didn't want him to taste the bitter fruit of failure as soon as he succeeded, besides this kind of head-losing rebel revolution, failure is tantamount to death .She couldn't disagree, as long as she shook her head, the rumors between them would be confirmed, and there would be no possibility of innocence in the future.She had no choice but to look at Yang Jing'an, smiled and said, "This is a major event in Haizhou City, and I will listen to everyone's opinions."
Zhong Han did not know when he arrived at the door, but no one noticed when the room was full, until he said, "I gave you a chance just now, if you are not convinced, you can say it, but you don't. Now talk about it behind your back, shameless villain!" No one saw clearly when he took out a short gun from his arms, aimed at the Jingdezhen vase in the middle of the living room, pulled the trigger, and the vase shattered!
This pistol technique shocked everyone. He seemed to glance at Wen Qingyun casually, and immediately said to Yang Jing'an, "You are the famous Steward Yang, right? I have admired you for a long time!"
Yang Jing'an's face turned white and red, he could hear the sarcasm in his words, Zhong Han clearly came to seek the Shen family's bad luck, maybe it was Wen Qingyun's fault.
Zhong Han dragged his gun around the room, and still stopped in front of Yang Jingan, "By the way, what do I want to say, the revolutionary army needs food and wages, so please ask Butler Yang to lead the way, everyone bleeds, support the revolution , the merit is immeasurable." After speaking, he left as if no one else was there.
The big guys wanted to get together and come up with a way to deal with Zhong Han, but they didn't want to be blamed by others. They felt unlucky, and they were not polite, "Steward Yang, we are a small family, and we have just paid Mr. Gu's apportionment. Now I have to pay money to the Revolutionary Party, and I really can’t afford it.”
"Yes, we are no bigger than your Shen family. We don't care about these little money. Isn't it fatal?"
"Steward Yang, you are familiar with Mr. Gu, do you know when the emperor's soldiers will come back? He can't let us good people, right?"
"You can't ignore us, you called us here... What kind of thing is this?"
Yang Jing'an glanced around with hatred, "Useless things! You will give him what he wants? Isn't there a consultative bureau after the revolution? Someone can control him, and everyone jointly signed a letter to publicize his scandal Go out and see how long he can be proud? No matter how capable he is, he can kill all of our Haizhou City?"
When things turned out like this, Yang Jing'an felt that it was necessary to inform Mrs. Shen, after all, Mrs. Shen was still the head of the family in name.Mrs. Shen was playing with Shen Hao in the room. After hearing Yang Jing'an finished speaking, she sighed, "Jing'an, I'm not in a good mood right now. You can handle the family affairs according to your needs."
Since Shen Xiaoru's family came back, Mrs. Shen didn't say anything on the surface, but she still liked it in her heart. She didn't understand the reason why the country and the nation rebelled. At this age, the most important thing is to be able to enjoy the family relationship with the family.It's just that Shen Xiaofang was missing, and the family members who sent him to the countryside told him that he ran away halfway, leaving a message that he wanted to serve the country in the army.
3,
On the old seat of Tianxiang Pavilion, Wen Qingyun and Zhong Han sat opposite each other.However, after two days, a strangeness that had nothing to do with time was born in the hearts of the two of them.Xu Shi said too much that day, too much, and there was no room for maneuver.Shopkeeper Wen delivered the food in person, nodded and bowed, and smiled all over his face, "Master Zhong, I have long seen that you are not a mortal. What did I say, this dragon must have a time to fly into the sky. Today's meal is a filial piety for the small shop." , you two are eating and drinking, I told them, don’t disturb them, if you need anything, just order.”
Zhong Han nodded, his indifferent expression remained the same as before, he looked embarrassed at Shopkeeper Wen, and stepped back to go out.
Wen Qingyun couldn't help smiling, "You're an adult now, the governor of Haizhou City, the leader of the Revolutionary Party, you really look at me with admiration every three days."
"You came to me not just to say these few words?" Zhong Han turned his gaze back.
Wen Qingyun stopped laughing, she had more important things to say, "You heard it all. Make up your mind." She was referring to the voiceover of the shopkeeper just now, and also referring to the small waves that were caused in Yang Jing'an of Shen's house before.
"We're fine, who care what they say?" Zhong Han picked up a fish with chopsticks and put it on a plate instead of eating it.The fish eyes stared at him with white eyes.
When Wen Qingyun opened her mouth, she would finish her sentence, "People's words are terrifying. Today is different from the past. You can't help but care."
"What do you want me to do?" Zhong Han looked at her, his pupils were getting bigger and bigger, and he engulfed her in it.
Wen Qingyun did not evade, and said word by word, "Get married, marry a daughter-in-law, and keep their mouths shut, so that you can stay in Haizhou City."
Zhong Han's expression darkened. Yu Jiakang said this last night, but he stared back.They all knew his heart and wanted to go against his heart.But now he really wants to know which girl she arranged for him.
"Qing Zhu has always praised you as a real man and a hero. She said that if she married someone, she would marry someone like you." After Wen Qingyun finished speaking, her heart twitched, feeling sore.
Zhong Han was stunned, she was serious, and actually wanted to give him her sister, stunned for a while, then asked mockingly, "I'm a bandit, are you willing?"
Wen Qingyun thought it over a long time ago, and replied, "Heroes don't ask where they come from. Zhu Yuanzhang is still a beggar, and he also made a fortune."
"You lift me up."
"I am for both of us." Having said that, Wen Qingyun exhausted all her efforts, her eyes drooped and landed on the table, "Listen to me, I will not harm you, let alone My own sister. I have selfish intentions, and I don't want you to marry someone from another family. This way we are considered relatives, and we are not afraid of gossip when we come and go. In the future, we will still rely on you. "
"Yes, you still want your Yan Maoyong, your Kenmu Company, you can't let me be driven away by them immediately." Zhong Han became impatient, and his tone became bitter.
"Whatever you think," Wen Qingyun wanted to say, but was interrupted by Zhong Han.
"What do you want me to think? You know what I think about you. I let you go with me. You are reluctant to part with the dignity of the young mistress of the Shen family. Now you want me to marry your sister, you are too cruel."
Wen Qingyun said with tears in her eyes: "I won't go with you because we have nowhere to go. I can't leave Qingzhu and Yuzhu behind. Do you think I'm willing to live like this? Open your eyes and worry about whether the sky will fall The whole family depends on me, who can I rely on? Step by step to today, you know, it is not easy for me."
Later, Zhong Han felt that he was convinced by the last few words.The most rare thing in this world is a confidant. If you know it, you should understand it, and all your persistence and hostility will be wiped out.There is a most vulgar saying that when he hates not to meet and is not married, he feels that no one can blame him but himself.
Wen Qingyun knew that this matter had been settled, and while she was relieved, her eyes were also red.She never dared to think about what kind of feelings she had for Zhong Han.At this moment, my heart hurts like being cut by a knife.She felt that all the superficial and vague fantasies disappeared, and the only extravagant dream in this life was shattered.She still had to grit her teeth and smile, tears streaming down the corners of her eyes, and she couldn't hide them even if she wanted to.
Wen Qingyun returned to the small courtyard in the afternoon, and Qing Zhu blushed as soon as she started talking. "It's all up to my sister." She whispered like a mosquito.Wen Qingyun became angry for some reason, "You have to make up your own mind about your own lifelong affairs!" Qing Zhu didn't expect her to lose her temper, and looked at her at a loss.Wen Qingyun was startled to lose her composure, and hurriedly said, "You have to like yourself. The most important thing for a woman is to marry someone she really likes. Don't be like your sister..." She shut up and couldn't say anymore, because just now At that moment, she wanted to overthrow everything, so she really didn't care, and followed him, and the mountains and rivers went far away!
Qing Zhu nodded, she was a shy woman who grew up under the care of her elder sister and younger brother, and had no chance to make up her mind.But she knew that from the first time she saw Zhong Han, she had worshiped him as a hero in her dreams.Being able to marry him was a dream she dared not dream day and night.
The wedding was hasty but lively. Zhong Han's brothers were all determined to make their eldest brother look good, and all of them had their own skills, so they put up the new house with all their hands and feet.The shops and shops on the streets of Haizhou City were worried that they could not find a chance to serve the newly appointed parent officials, so they were naturally on call, and they could pick up all the items they needed.Yu Jiatai repeatedly warned them that they must pay the money, stop treating themselves as bandits, and remember that they are a revolutionary soldier.The bandits didn't care about this, even Zhong Han laughed it off.Even if it's not a bandit, even if the magistrate is getting married, I haven't heard that you have to pay for a few benches from someone?
The most exciting thing is Wen Yuzhu, who has been nesting in the mountains for several years and has transformed into the uncle of the governor. Not only can he walk on the street in a dignified manner, but he can also turn back all doubting eyes with pride.
Before the wedding, Wen Qingyun was brought to Wen Yuntang's grave by her younger siblings. After so long, she finally fulfilled her promise and comforted her father's spirit in heaven.
"Kowtow to Dad," Wen Qingyun poured out all the tears she had endured for several years, "Dad, don't worry, we will never be separated again in the future."
What Wen Qingyun thought was that Qingzhu would get married, and Yuzhu should continue his studies. Unexpectedly, just halfway through the conversation, Wen Yuzhu objected.
"Sister, I still want to follow Brother Zhong." His tone was calm, but there was the typical stubbornness of the Wen family in it.
Wen Qingyun asked, "You are still young, what can you do with him?"
"Fighting the country, the world has changed, are you afraid that I won't have a place to use my skills?"
Wen Qingyun was deeply worried by Wen Yuzhu's ambition, so she had to say that this matter will be discussed later, and what matters now is Qing Zhu's marriage.
The wedding went smoothly. In Wen Qingyun's view, a wedding without a coffin is a good wedding.Zhong Han was toasting at the table in his groom's gown. At first the big guy thought that the big guy was in a good mood, but later he found out that he was desperately getting himself drunk, not for the happiness of the big wedding.Feng Laojiu persuaded, Yu Jiatai persuaded, and finally Wen Yuzhu also persuaded, whoever persuaded Zhong Han to drink with whom, his alcohol capacity was amazing, he drank everyone too much, and his steps appeared vain.It's a good thing, at least those brothers who drank too much will forget about the bridal chamber that they have been thinking about just now, saving more trouble.
Wen Qingzhu was sitting in the bridal chamber, and Xiu Gu, who became a bride, stood aside and watched coldly, they could hear each other's breathing, but they refused to speak.Aunt Xiu didn't understand, what happened to Brother Zhong, why did he insist on entanglement with the Wen family's women? Could it be that there are no other women in this world?Zhong Han was not carried back until midnight.Xiugu sighed, she blamed Wen Qingyun for making such a fuss.They are all women, and he understands Wen Qingyun's thoughts better than anyone else.After setting up Zhong Han, Xiugu left quietly.Wen Qingzhu didn't know what to do, she clasped her embroidered robe with her fingers, and shed tears drop by drop.
In the west courtyard of Shen's house, Wen Qingyun was not at peace. She didn't go to the wedding, and locked herself in the room for a whole day. Xuelian guarded the door worriedly. In the evening, Wen Qingyun shouted, "I want to drink, bring me some wine." .
Xue Lian had never seen her young lady like this before, laughing for a while, crying for a while, drinking for a while, crying for a while, laughing for a while, chanting words, but couldn't make out what she said.Until she was drunk, fell on the bed, grabbed Xue Lian's arm, and whispered, "Who knows the pain in my heart?"
4,
After the marriage, the gossip is automatically cut off.Zhong Han gained a firm foothold in Haizhou City, and unconditionally returned the seized Sheng Maoyong and Haigan Animal Husbandry Company to the Shen family.Yang Jing'an made a fuss about fetching water from a bamboo basket, and gritted his teeth with hatred for Wen Qingyun and Zhong Han.
At this time, Mrs. Shen understood that the Shen family couldn't do without Wen Qingyun. One morning, Mrs. Shen called the whole family together again, and handed over a bunch of house keys to Wen Qingyun in front of everyone. "From now on, this home will belong to you." Mrs. Shen said this, and everyone listened with their own thoughts.Wen Qingyun took the key and gave a big gift to Mrs. Shen. She knew that all the conditions were ripe and it was time to attack.
Dongmei panicked more than anyone else, she left the main room and ran to find Yang Jing'an.
"Uncle, what can we do now?"
"What are you in a hurry for? Don't let the eldest daughter-in-law be the head of the house. Do you want an aunt to hold the key?" Yang Jing'an teased angrily, "Remember, if people are not human enough, they will destroy themselves sooner or later."
Dongmei said bluntly, "I'm worried for your old man. Any of the things you do, if she gets caught, is enough for you to drink a pot."
Yang Jing'an snorted coldly, "She wants to punish me? It's not that easy. Don't think I'm broken, our best show is yet to come, keep your eyes open and wait and see."
Yang Jing'an seemed to have a plan in her mind, which reassured Dongmei a little. She really wasn't for herself, she was for Shen Hao's future. With this uncle, Shen Hao still had a bowl of Anle tea and rice. Yun has become a trend, how can the two of them have a good life?
Everyone dispersed, Wen Qingyun stayed in the main room, and told Mrs. Shen all the bad deeds of Yang Jing'an collected over the years.
Mrs. Shen didn't believe it, Wen Qingyun said something, and Mrs. Shen asked, really?can you?Wen Qingyun raised her hand and swore that everything she said was true.
"Mother, if you say that I have the slightest malice towards the Shen family, can the shop still come back? I know there are some things you may not understand for a while, but I beg you, allow me to rectify our business, especially the Haigan company. It's Dad's hard work, you don't want it to be destroyed alive, do you?"
Madam Shen was moved by these words, so she acquiesced in Wen Qingyun's plan to take Yang Jingan out of the picture. Under Madam Shen's arrangement, Shen Xiaoru came forward to take over the Kenmu Company, so that both internally and externally, there would be an explanation, and Yang Jingan would not be too aggressive. chilling.Then Wen Qingyun summoned all the shopkeepers of the Shen family's shops, pointing out one by one their crimes of colluding with Yang Jing'an, or letting them go.
Wen Qingyun talked about a cup of tea, stopped talking, looked at the pious group in front of him, and waited for them all to concentrate before saying seriously, "I don't want to pursue these things."
The shopkeepers were stunned. After escaping from the dead, they didn't understand what the eldest young mistress wanted to do.
"I didn't pursue it because you accepted the coercion, not intentionally harming my Shen family. But you have to do something for me..."
"Eldest young mistress, please tell me if you have something to say, we will do our best."
"Eldest young mistress, just say what you want us to do, and we will make atonement!"
Wen Qingyun nodded in satisfaction, "I want you to jointly write a letter of love and tell the master what Butler Yang has done these years."
The shopkeepers were a little hesitant. If the matter went to Shen Yunpei, would they still have it?
"I promise to speak good words for you in front of the master, otherwise," Wen Qingyun pushed open the window, and the shopkeepers saw a row of revolutionaries with live ammunition, standing majestically on the street, "I don't want to embarrass you, I'm afraid The officials will not let you go. We all have some wealth, and we don’t want to be paid as officials, right?”
While Wen Qingyun was busy making arrangements, Yang Jing'an got Mrs. Shen's approval, and went to the countryside alone to recuperate. Before leaving, she told Dongmei that no matter what happened, she must hold back, and when she was proud, she must not let anything happen.
After leaving the city, Yang Jing'an went straight to the capital, he wanted to find Shen Yunpei, and fight back.
5,
The city of Beijing is in the center of the vortex, and the ministers in the imperial court are divided into two factions. One faction advocates the war. A decent step with the emperor.The little emperor and the empress dowager had no idea. They listened to one side and listened to the other side. They had to rely heavily on either side, and they couldn't afford to offend either side.More nobles from the Eight Banners, after the attempted assassination of Prince Jin Zaipei by Wang Jingwei and others, shrank in their respective mansions, complaining of illness one after another, not daring to come forward.The doors of all the houses were tightly closed, and it seemed that it was only a stick of incense from the bustling city to the deserted ones.Except for the mansion of Yuan Shikai, who was dismissed and came back to save the crisis, and was appointed Prime Minister of the Cabinet, the Zhu Hong gate was open from morning to night, and the sedan chairs that came to discuss matters, inquire about ways to give gifts, blocked an entire alley, and Shen Yunpei's sedan chair was also there. Inside, he had already seen the situation clearly and knew that the Qing Dynasty was exhausted, so he came to see Mr. Yuan in name of a visit, but in fact he mainly focused on the word "exploration".Since the last time he failed to ask for help, Shen Yunpei had already felt a little alienated from Yuan Shikai in his heart. He was helpless because he was too strong, and after turning a corner, he still wanted to bow his head and smile with him.
The small flower hall in the Yuan Mansion is where the host receives guests. There are several chairs and a tea table with sour pear branches. On the wall are some calligraphy and paintings, all of which are contemporary products. There is a large vase in the corner with a few sticks Phoenix tail bamboo is the only decoration.Shen Yunpei sat down and tidied up his appearance. He came here today in casual clothes, so that this meeting would be more friendly.At this moment, I feel that something is wrong. If Mr. Yuan comes out in official clothes, wouldn't he be ridiculed again?Fortunately, Yuan Shikai was also wearing casual clothes, and he arrived before anyone was heard, and asked with a smile, "Brother Yunpei, how have you been doing?"
Shen Yunpei breathed a sigh of relief, quickly stood up and saluted, "Master Yuan..."
"Hey, why are you being polite, just order casually at your own home." Yuan Shikai seemed in a good mood, and he didn't feel tired after a long day of work. Make snacks and put them on a plate, brother Yunpei and I chat while eating."
Shen Yunpei was flattered, and Master Yuan didn't look like he refused his request just now, or else his acting skills had reached the peak, and he could treat it as nothing if he had something to do.
"Master Yuan," Shen Yunpei said in a sincere tone, leaning his body on a chair with half of his buttocks on the chair, "Look at the current situation..."
Yuan Shikai raised his eyelids, his eyes flashed, and he hid his smile behind his face, "The situation is tense. Isn't Master Shen's hometown also hung the flag of the Revolutionary Party?"
"Master Yuan, what do you mean?"
"The general trend is that the old man was ordered in danger and had to come out to take care of the situation." Yuan Shikai sighed half-truthfully, "It is said that the emperor's grace is mighty, so I have to fight this old life. Why don't Master Shen stop being an official? You can do business, and you can also prosper the country. Whether it is a constitution or a republic, you have to wear clothes and eat, and you have to collect taxes, right?"
Speaking of this, Shen Yunpei had a solid idea in his mind. Before he could speak, Yuan Shikai asked again, "I heard that the railway that has been planned for a long time has not even studied where the terminal will end? The Belgians can say, if If we don’t start work at the beginning of next year, even if we break the contract, we will have to pay someone a sum of money. Brother Yunpei, I will leave this matter to you. Anyway, you are also the servant of the postal department. You can’t just take your salary and do nothing. "
Shen Yunpei was startled, and hurriedly stood up, "Master Yuan, it's not that the villain procrastinates on purpose, it's really difficult. Originally, I have hired someone to survey and map this railway terminal, and it is most suitable in Haizhou. It is connected to the port. Connecting the front line by land can greatly increase our transportation capacity."
"Then do it."
"But there are people who object." Shen Yunpei smiled bitterly, "Master Zhang Jian thinks that the terminal of the railway should be built in Nantong, and he also said that I am a 'village spirit', 'buying and selling wasteland and increasing the northern line', 'in order to make money poor' And now', I can't do anything about it."
"Nonsense." Yuan Shikai's eyes widened. "When is it, and you're still arguing about it? I've decided on this matter, and I will do as you want. The important thing is to hurry up and not let the Belgians say anything." , I don’t have time to socialize with those foreigners.”
When Shen Yunpei came out of Yuan's house, his steps were much easier, but he didn't expect that there would be another trouble waiting for him at the door of his own house.
Yang Jing'an came for about an hour, the porter followed from the Shen family in Haizhou, he knew him well, and asked him to wait inside, but he refused, and asked the porter to move a stool and sit at the door.It's also good to show Shen Yunpei a good look at this body of travel and dust.
When Shen Yunpei saw him, he frowned slightly, and stretched out his hand to block Yang Jingan's heartfelt words, "Let's go in first."
Yang Jingan couldn't figure out the basis of this tone, he felt guilty first, and followed Shen Yunpei into the living room.Before he knelt down and cried, Shen Yunpei snorted coldly, "You really dare to come?"
"Master, I have a grievance." Yang Jing'an's voice was choked up, with tears in his eyes, "Master, please make the decision for me."
Shen Yunpei nodded, "Okay, come on, call me Mi Fu."
Mi Fu was sent to the capital by Wen Qingyun on the day Yang Jing'an left, and sent a joint letter from the shopkeepers to Shen Yunpei, explaining in more detail what had happened to the Shen family in Haizhou these days.
Shen Yunpei looked at Yang Jing'an coldly, "What else do you have to say?"
Sweat broke out on Yang Jing'an's forehead, he lowered his head and was at a loss.
"It's because I trust you so much that I hand over the Shen family to you. That's how you repay me? If I hadn't promised my wife that I would let you live no matter what, I would hand you over to the yamen now and let them have a good trial. Shen, don't think I don't know how Zhang Mozhi died! How many lives have been lost on you, do you want me to tell you one by one?"
Yang Jing'an felt like a thunderbolt sounded above his head, which made him unable to stand still. He knelt down and said, "I didn't, they framed me..."
Shen Yunpei took out a letter from his arms and threw it on the ground, "It's written by Zhang Mozhi himself. You teamed up to dig out the Kenmu Company. The conspiracy was exposed. You killed people to silence it. Fortunately, he drank alcohol that night and escaped. There is really no evidence. And Du Wenjing, you also tipped the Green Gang, so do I need to say more?"
After Zhang Mozhi fled from Rizhao, Zhong Han sent people to look for him everywhere, and finally found him in a remote village.They offered to protect his safety and take him to a place where Zhang Jian could not find him, on the condition that he write a petition and send it to Shen Yunpei.In order to survive, Zhang Mozhi obeyed everything.
Yang Jing'an began to tremble. He was bumping all the way. He thought he could fight back, but he didn't expect to send himself to a dead end.It's useless to say anything at this moment, Shen Yunpei turned around and gave him a verdict, "You saved Madam's life, and now I will spare your life too. But I won't let you harm the Shen family again. From now on, you will Stay here honestly, without my permission, you are not allowed to take a step out of the room, do you hear me clearly?"
Yang Jing'an has been under house arrest in Beijing since then, and he never returned to Haizhou until his death.
