196 The controversy over sweet and salty tofu brains
The Torture Hall is a secret organization founded by Xiao Letian, and its members are partly from the heroes recruited by Long Ye, partly from the elites left over from the Heavenly Power, and partly from the enlightened Han people in the Ryukyus.
In Xiao Letian's heart, although the first two parts of the personnel occupy the largest proportion of the number of people in the torture hall, they are definitely not the main body of the future torture hall. In another 10 or 8 years, the major schools of the Ryukyus and the Qing Dynasty's system of benevolence will continue to provide a steady stream of outstanding talents, and by that time the highly educated members will become the main body of the criminal hall.
Only when more high-ranking people are filled will the torture hall become the ideal in Xiao Letian's mind, a hybrid of the CIA and the KGB. This is a more terrible weapon than the army, and the future world will be a world of intelligence warfare and psychological warfare, and the war on the surface will be intermittent, but the secret war between countries will never stop.
Xiao Letian's torture hall in front of him was just the prototype of this huge institution, and he never had the luxury of expecting Wang Huaiyuan and others to give him some strategic advice, but he didn't expect that Wang Huaiyuan's plan today surprised Xiao Letian.
"The green camp can't stay, it must be sealed, and then Lord Zhou wrote to the Manchu court, insisting that Sun Sanhu was a Jiangyang thief, and disguised the guards of the Ouchi to collude with the green battalion soldiers in an attempt to seize the property of the Tanggu business district......"
"I know that the Qing Demon definitely doesn't believe it, but now they can't help but believe it, just now there is news in the city, the foreigner's armed sailors have gone ashore, and they have begun to guard the streets where the foreigner's trading houses gather, and it will be easy to do it with the intervention of foreigners......"
"My lord, don't stay here, take the first company and the second company to board the boat and leave Tanggu to cruise in the Bohai Bay, as long as you are on the sea, the Qing demon will be helpless, this group of wild boar skins are naturally afraid of the ocean, and the sea will never be their sphere of influence......"
"The rest is the water mill lawsuit, we have money, some are witnesses, and the court is slowly grinding, forcing us to go back to Naha directly, I see how long their hands can be......?
"Don't worry, my lord, according to our estimates, this plan is at least sixty percent feasible. But the most important thing is to extinguish the mouth, and we must destroy the chain of evidence in the hands of the Qing demon in large quantities, only in this way will our chances of survival be higher......"
Xiao Letian was stunned, he found that the steps taken by the torture hall were far bigger than he imagined, and they were originally used as spies and killers, but he didn't expect that they would have been able to deduce and make preliminary judgments about the situation, and even come up with a feasible plan.
"I can't imagine it, I can't imagine it, I was surprised by how fast you are learning, this and this...... It's only been a few months, and you've been able to make such a subtle judgment on the chaos, and you've really grown ......."
Wang Huaiyuan now has no time to cater to Xiao Letian's praise, he said eagerly, "There is no time, don't hesitate any longer, send out the armed guys of the new army and the business, and catch the defeated soldiers in the Tanggu territory...... When the time comes, I will do it myself, and I will definitely not let your reputation be stained in the slightest......"
"Fart..."Xiao Letian's face changed suddenly, "Who are you and me? Hypocrite? Lao Tzu would rather be a real villain than a hypocrite." You don't give me these tricks to carry the black pot for me, I, Xiao Letian, am not a feudal emperor, so I don't need you to grease and powder me......"
Wang Huaiyuan's anxious head was sweating, "Then what should I do? My lord, you give me a clear word, now that the sky is already bright, it will be all night if you don't start...... If you look at this great plain, where can hundreds of defeated soldiers escape? Decision, now what we want is decision..."
The quarrel between the two people made the surrounding crowd suddenly quiet, and the soldiers were enjoying the breakfast organized by Zhou Xing, never expecting Xiao Lotian and Wang Huaiyuan to quarrel.
The scene was deadly silent, Xiao Letian stared at Wang Huai, who was full of nervousness, and hiking for three minutes, and finally he snorted and didn't stop his face, and laughed.
"Haha, knock your stern face, it's not enough...... The situation in front of you seems to you to be almost unsolvable, but in my eyes, there is a smooth road ahead...... Zhou Zhutou, bring me a bowl of tofu brains......"
"Hey, hey...... Here it is..."In the blink of an eye, Zhou Xing, who was smiling, brought two bowls of tofu brain, one bowl to Xiao Letian and one bowl to Wang Huaiyuan.
I have to say that Zhou Zhutou is still very capable, in the chaos last night, many early shops didn't want to open today, but let Zhou Zhutou come forward like this, half coaxing and half forcing to collect breakfast for hundreds of people in the shortest time.
The tofu brain, which is as white as jade, is poured with fragrant sauce, black fungus shreds, egg shreds, flavorful leek flower sauce, coriander and a few drops of fragrant chili oil, this is the most common bowl of tofu brain in the north.
"Fragrant, so fragrant, really good...... Xiao Letian raised his head and took a big sip, "Hmm? Why is this tofu brain salty? It's just lawless, crazy, tofu brain is actually made salty, shouldn't it be sweet?"
Xiao Letian made a fuss, everyone was stunned, and several soldiers who drank tofu brain looked down at their rice bowls, and they couldn't understand what Xiao Lotian was talking about.
Wang Huaiyuan was also stunned, he didn't know what Xiao Letian was doing, but he seemed to be able to feel what Xiao Letian was going to say. "My lord, this sweet tofu brain is generally popular in Suzhou, Hangzhou and Guangdong, but other places are salty..."
"Hahaha, what you said doesn't count, everyone says it...... Brother, let me ask you, should this tofu brain be sweet or salty?" Xiao Lotian asked the people around him with a bowl.
Zhou Xing's eyes rolled and he hurriedly said, "Sweet, what adults say is sweet is sweet." Immediately after that, the headhunters and guys behind him also echoed, "Sweet, adults want to eat sweet, I'll go get candy ......"
Tie Toutuo, who was gnawing on the flatbread, was angry when he heard this, stood up and scolded, "You group of sycophants, tofu brains are obviously salty, as soon as the adults say it casually, you will pat the sycophants, I despise you ......"
He made a fuss, and the two recruits made a fuss, "That's it, I've been eating tofu brains all my life, and they're all salty, you guys are so shameless..."
They jumped to their feet and shouted, "Sweet, it's sweet, can there be anything wrong with what the adults have said, and Lord Wang also said that people in Suzhou and Hangzhou eat sweets......"
"Salty...... Sweet ...... Salty ...... Sweet ......" The crowd on both sides quarreled chaotically. However, Xiao Letian's subordinates were still a minority, and soon the salty party overwhelmed the sweet party, and the shouts of salty tofu brains occupied the mainstream.
Xiao Letian smiled and watched everyone quarrel, and drank the tofu brain in his hand in a daze, he patted Wang Huaiyuan's shoulder, "Huaiyuan, sometimes the battle on the political field is so boring, what people are arguing about is not truth and justice, and they don't want an absolutely correct standard to come out......"
"All these people want is the process of arguing, choosing a boring topic to quarrel around, on the one hand, it can prove that I am not idle, I am not eating idle food, and on the other hand, it is to automatically divide the crowd into factions, a bowl of tofu brain can distinguish the salty party and the sweet party, how many factions do you say there will be in the court?"
Xiao Letian stuffed the empty bowl into Wang Huaiyuan's arms and patted the dust in his hands, "There is not so much truth and justice in the world, the truth actually depends on whose voice is louder, the battle caused by Sun Sanhu, it seems that we are the weak side, that can only show that you are shallow, wait for Lao Tzu and my means to use ......"
"Hehehe, I'm afraid that the Manchu Qing can't stand Lao Tzu's methods...... Okay, you go and give the order, immediately post a notice to the people, all villages must be posted, the first evil has been caught, I will not be held accountable, let the defeated soldiers go back to the camp, give them stew, send charcoal, and wait for Lao Tzu to give them an explanation......"
Wang Huaiyuan's head was twisted into a Chuanzi, and he still wanted to persuade him, but Xiao Hexin and Sima Yun dragged him aside, "Okay, adults have the decisions of adults, what are you chattering about, when did adults disappoint us?"
An hour later, the fast horses galloped around on the ground of Tanggu, the riders carried a thick paper roll on their backs and a bucket of paste in their hands, and began to post notices to the people at the head of each village.
"Lord Tongzhi has an order, all the people should not be afraid, the thieves who made trouble last night have been defeated, please go home and live in peace, and don't listen to rumors......"
"Folks, when you see the green battalion soldiers fleeing everywhere, tell them in person, the first evil has been caught, they are all deceived, they are not guilty, let them hurry back to the camp......"
After posting the notice, the rider gave a few more words, got on his horse and went straight to the next village.
On all the roads leading from Tanggu to Tianjinwei, the new army set up checkpoints, and notices were posted on large wooden boards, and when they saw a figure approaching from a distance, the soldiers shouted by their necks.
"Brothers in the Green Camp, you were all deceived by Sun Sanhu's bastard, that guy confessed in prison, he deceived you to suppress the bandits, in fact, he wanted to rob the money and rob the Tanggu merchants...... You have been deceived, and the adults say that the first evil must be done, and you are coerced and have no sin...... Let's go back to camp..."
Not only by land, but now there are also a large number of boats on the Haihe River. Pulling into a line, they are closely searching the passing cargo ships. At this time, the Haihe River was not completely frozen, and some cargo ships could still pass through the middle of the river, which was basically the last batch of water transport goods before the year, and it would only rely on land transportation in the future.
General Ding and two guards hid in a boat carrying grain, and the captain of the ship used grain bags to pile up a small hiding area for the three of them, and the three of them huddled in it and did not dare to come out.
"Hey, a few uncles have worked hard, how can they be so raw, I don't know which yamen's uncle it is......"
"Go, go, put away the silver, we don't eat this set, we are the guards of the Tanggu Foreign Company, don't you know that there were bandits last night......?
"Oh, my uncle, you raise your noble hand, this Haihe River is about to freeze in a few days, we are really in a hurry... If this is moved and unloaded, it will be gone for at least half a day, and when the river freezes and our boat will be frozen halfway, I will really jump into the river and kill myself......"
"Please raise your noble hand, if you delay this boat of grain, the master in the capital will cut off my head, woo woo...... Pity my family and still expect me to feed, I kowtow to you......"
While talking, the ship's planks clanged, and the ship's boss kowtowed like pounding garlic. And General Ding, who was hiding in the grain packet, had already pulled out the family heirloom dagger of 100 refined steel, and it seemed that he was going to fight hard. R405
