Matthew's Diary is not yet a book, but a jumble of one-page articles and materials, which are now stacked on a round table, with a large wooden clip that appears to be used to store them.

It was precisely because Matthew and Mike had just flipped through it and didn't clean it up that Jiao Si'er had this opportunity to contact the secret.

Of course, Jiao Si'er doesn't understand foreign languages, but he can read photos and drawings. The burning port of Naha, the chaotic Japanese legions, the foreign warships spewing flames from the sea, and countless Chinese who roared and shouted like hellish rebels.

These pictures and photos truly record all of Xiao Letian's experiences in Naha, especially the photos and sketches of him leading the people to charge forward with a large exaggerated flag on his back, which made Jiao Si'er sweat like a pulp.

God, it turns out that the legends are all true, and the letters sent by the Ryukyu Kingdom are all fake... When the half photo that appeared in a corner of the pile of materials on the table came into view, Jiao Si completely collapsed.

It was a row of Western-style armies of foreigners, but the army was made up of Chinese faces. A shiny bald head, a patent leather military cap, a uniform blue uniform, and a pair of tall military boots on his feet.

God, isn't this what the wine lees head said about the Yin soldiers? What makes people even more chilling is the bayonets and brand-new foreign guns.

It's bad, Xiao Lotian is going to rebel, he actually trained an army in Ryukyu privately, and brought it back to China... Damn, what the drunkard head saw was not a bullshit ghost soldier at all, what he saw was Xiao Letian's private army, and this second devil had already begun to secretly mobilize troops to the Qing Dynasty.

Jiao Si'er stood there desperately controlling himself to be calm and calm, he really wanted to turn his head and run away and never get involved in these things again, but he didn't dare to move, if there was the slightest hint of revealing stuffing, I was afraid that he would have to die in Tanggu City.

In the torment, Jiao Si'er finally waited until the two foreign adults finished playing billiards, and when he received a clear answer from the foreign adults, Jiao Si'er left without saying a word, and he didn't wake up until the cold wind on the street blew on his face.

Jiao Si'er is a house slave scoundrel after all, and his vision and knowledge are only a little bit around the Sijiu City, when the cold wind sobered up his head, this guy actually forgot his fear and became greedy in his heart.

"Xiao Letian wants to rebel, even if he doesn't rebel, he is still a business that violates the king's law, no wonder he takes advantage of the money so much. No, I want to hold this handle in my hand, grandma's this is my meal ticket for the rest of my life...... "This person who doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, has already begun to think about killing Xiao Lotian fiercely, this is not a transaction, but a big gold mine that three generations can never eat."

Just as he was thinking while walking, suddenly two young men invited him into a second meat shop next to him, where Sun Sanhu was scalding wine and waiting for him.

"Fourth Master Jiao, your complexion today is not very good, it is better to drill less into the crotch of a woman on a cold day, be careful that the cold enters the bones, don't you pity this age?"

Jiao Si'er knew the details of Sun Sanhu, this kind of person didn't dare to offend, and hurriedly called Qian Shili, "Oh, my grandfather, why are you so bold to meet me directly, you must know that Tanggu City is full of Xiao Letian's eyeliner, and he has bought the yamen......"

Wang Huaiyuan guessed correctly, this Jiao Si'er and Sun Sanhu are really connected, and it's not a little bit. Jiao Si'er knew that behind Sun Sanhu was the real master, this group of people was above the various factions in the court, and they were the most murderous people.

Sun Sanhu looked at the cautious Jiao Si'er and nodded, "You know that you are respectful, just forget your roots." Let me ask you, do you know that Xiao Letian has violated the king's law during this time? The master didn't let you come here to play with women..."

Jiao Si'er was sweating at that time, and he muttered in his heart, could it be that Sun Sanhu also knew the information of Xiao Letian's private soldiers? This is a deliberate test of me to see if I am loyal or not? No, these two foreigners have only arrived for a few days, and no matter how fast Sun Sanhu's hand is, it is impossible for him to easily reach into the territory of foreigners.

After thinking about it, Jiao Si'er decided to take a gamble, "Oh, my grandfather, you really asked the right person, I can find a lot of flaws in Xiao Letian during this time." First of all, his guards are not good things, shaving their heads violates the king's law, and I can find out their background, they are a group of bandits......"

"When Xiao Lotian first came to Daqing, he was once kidnapped by bandits in Taihang Mountain, and then he didn't know how to get it and became a family, and these bandits were actually protected by Xiao Letian...... There is also this Lotte foreign company, which is definitely engaged in smuggling business, and now Mantanggu City has the most contact with foreigners, if there is no smuggling, I will gouge out my eyeballs and give you a glass ball......

Jiao Si'er didn't finish his words, but saw Sun Sanhu make a crackle like an electric snap, and it was a crisp ear scraper. "Damn, old pig dog, dare to tease me?"

"What kind of bullshit information are you, those bandits already know about it in the palace, and they still use you to rap it? As for what smugglers, go out and take a look, is there a foreign merchant on the street who doesn't smuggle? I understand, did you kid let Xiao Letian buy it?"

Sun Sanhu grabbed Jiao Si's collar and lifted him up from the ground. Jiao Si'er's frightened face turned white, "Grandpa Mingjian, grandpa Mingjian, I've only seen Xiao Letian for a few days? He has only been back to China for a few days, how about giving me some time, you can give me more time......"

Sun Sanhu's hand shook, and Jiao Si'er fell directly to the door of the box, "You remember it for me, work hard for the master, don't forget your identity." And your recent task is to contact the people around Xiao Letian, and it is best to plot a few. Well...... I see that Wang Huaiyuan's face is solemn, he is not a lively person, you try him......"

"No problem, I'm going to try it, I must work hard for my master, I must ......"

Jiao Si covered his face and walked out of the second meat shop, and he was angry in his heart, "You are paralyzed, you don't have the ability, you know that you can press us, you have a kind of do-it-yourself, aren't you afraid of Xiang Shaolong? Xiao Letian's subordinates are easy to buy, this kind of guy who dares to practice private army, there is definitely a set of trapping people, and it can still make you rebel?"

Thinking of this, Jiao Si'er looked back at the direction of Lotte and said, "Xiao Letian, Lao Tzu was slapped hard in order to keep your secret, I will count this account on your head, next time you want to shut up Lao Tzu, you have to give me silver, Lao Tzu has a small appetite, and one hundred and eighty thousand taels of silver is enough." ”

Just when Jiao Si, who was looking forward to making a fortune, returned to the Xiao family's mansion against the northwest wind, Xiao Letian from Xiaowangzhuang had just had lunch. Large pieces of stewed meat, roasted knife wine, and white-flour steamed buns are vigorously made, and the whole village can be regarded as having meat, even if it is not so lively during the New Year.

The village chief and the elder man accompanied Xiao Lotian to drink together, and they were now completely convinced, a big man like Xiao Lotian could sit beside them without a shelf at all, chatting about homely drinking local wine, and there was no dislike at all, which made the villagers very moved.

At the dinner table, many people thought carefully, Xiao Letian is an adult of this character to buy everyone's land, it shouldn't be harmful, or I will sell the land? Anyway, the price is doubled, which is fair enough, and I will ask the adult to arrange a job in the city when I go back, how is it not better than farming.

Xiao Lotian has already seen the loosening of his will from everyone's eyes, and knows that people's hearts have been shaken, and now he is about to kick the door, this is a skill, and he must take good strength.

"Mr. Xiao, you have been very kind to us, and it is said that we should not be ungrateful. But we also have difficulties, this land has been passed down for generations, and if we sell it, we are afraid that we will be poked in the backbone by the people of Sixiang. Besides, there are so many rumors about the special industrial zone in the market, and we are really scared......" In the end, the old village chief spoke.

Xiao Lotian picked up the wine bowl, "Come on, drink." Didn't I say it before, now you can recuperate with peace of mind, get over this epidemic, and talk about the sale of land later......"

"But today, old man, you mentioned it, so I'll just talk about it. You all say that it is difficult to leave the homeland, but you can also see the great changes in Tanggu City in the past few years, since the foreign merchants came to this dry dock, it has more than doubled and prospered..."

"Xiaowangzhuang is very close to the city, and none of the men and mothers-in-law in the Zhuangzi have ever worked part-time in Tanggu City......?

What Xiao Letian said, everyone nodded, the soil is a round belly after a year, working in the city is real money, the golden copper plate, the snow and the bright foreign money float in front of you like the water of the sea and the river, who can not see it.

Huang Juren, who died before, said that his family had thousands of hectares of land, but in fact, he made a fortune by renting out land and warehouses to merchants. These can't be hidden from the eyes of the people, and what everyone cares about is tradition. Due to the blockade of the small-scale peasant economy, the peasants in ancient China had already developed a problem of refusing to change.

"As for the rumors of demons and monsters you mentioned, I don't bother to refute them, I have dealt with a lot of foreigners overseas, and you have seen a lot ......of them over the years, who has seen them eat children? Who has seen them use little ghosts? It's all nonsense and superstition, I can only say one thing that has been seen in people's hearts for a long time."

During the whole banquet, Xiao Letian did not use his identity to suppress the people, nor did he deceive the people, he just quietly talked about one reason after another, and everyone nodded and was convinced. After he was full of wine and food, Xiao Letian looked out of the window and was amused at that time.

Poor Huang Xiucai is chopping firewood under the supervision of a group of children, and two officials are drinking rice wine in the back to supervise him by the way, this unlucky guy is now frozen so that both snot have crossed the river, and hey feeds a big pant and flies into his mouth, this Huang Liu is really disgusting.
