Chapter Seventy-Two: A Horse and a Gun
Liu Yanzhi was full of guilt and powerless, as if 10,000 ants were biting his internal organs, and then he thought that he was here with a greater mission, and the people of a hundred years ago had already returned to dust, and the earth had returned to the earth, so why bother with these passers-by who had disappeared in the long river of history, and had nothing to do with himself.
But he couldn't face Miss Lin's resentful eyes, even if the crossing was a game for him, he had to play this game seriously, as a time-traveler who reversed history, since he came, why not turn him upside down, anyway, this chaotic era at the end of the Qing Dynasty is already chaotic enough, not bad for this one.
"You won't understand my identity, but I can guarantee that your master is safe and sound, and even reinstated." Liu Yanzhi patted his chest and slapped the package ticket.
No one believed his words, the master shook his head secretly, he had followed Lord Lin for many years, he knew the rules of officialdom, and there were not no officials who were reactivated after the dismissal, but those people made no fundamental mistakes, the biggest mistake in the officialdom was to stand on the wrong team, Lin Huaiyuan bet on the wrong treasure at a critical moment, this case went straight to the sky, it was the decree of the Queen Mother Lafayette herself, this is a Qin case, no matter what, it can't be overturned, this young man is not afraid to flash his tongue when he says big things.
The housekeeper and the two concubines couldn't believe it, the old man was a prisoner of the imperial court, and he had probably been escorted into Beijing at this time, and what was waiting for him would be the harshest punishment.
"The slave family believes in you." Lin Suying bowed down.
Only Lin Su inexplicably believed Liu Yanzhi's words, from the first time she saw this young man, she had an inexplicable good impression and trust in Liu Yanzhi, and even after she was imprisoned after raiding her home, she also had inexplicable fantasies, believing that "Zhao Zilong" would come to save herself, and when Liu Yanzhi broke the chain, she was even more convinced of her judgment, this mysterious strange man can create all miracles.
Liu Yanzhi was greatly moved, and stretched out his hand to help, but Lin Su took half a step back, not letting Liu Yanzhi touch his body, and let him carry the right to do things when he robbed the prison.
The housekeeper Savior was heartfelt, and said in his heart Since this kid boasted about Haikou, why not use a dead horse as a live horse doctor, it is better than watching the old man's head in a different place, he also nodded and said: "Liu Yishi, I will believe you again." ”
The two concubines were not assertive, and looked at Master Zhou, who was helpless and nodded, which can be regarded as acquiescence.
It's okay to take refuge for a while, and if you live for a long time, you will have to look for a place after dawn, but everyone is unclothed, bloodstained, and rashly go out to attract attention, so you have to change your clothes first.
The governor sent troops to raid Lin Huaiyuan's home, and copied the official documents, books, poems, and articles in the study to find evidence of the crime, and those officials who did the work also took away the valuable antique jade, but the clothes and bedding in the east and west wings were still there, but the door was pasted with a seal, and now, no one cares about the seal with the governor's yamen, and opens the door and enters the house, looking for clothes, shoes and hats.
changed into decent clean clothes, washed his face and combed his hair, and finally regained some self-esteem, the two concubines stopped crying, and the master and the housekeeper also entered the state, planning a plan to rescue the master for Liu Yanzhi.
Although there is no direct evidence, Master Zhou can basically be sure that Governor Lin has been escorted into Beijing at this moment to accept the three sessions of the Criminal Department, Dali Temple and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, followed by the Autumn Queen's beheading, but according to Liu Yanzhi, there are wars going on in Beijing and Tianjin, and there is a great opportunity to take advantage of the chaos, anyway, he has already committed a heinous crime, and he doesn't care about robbing a prisoner car again.
Master Zhou said that the governor of the yamen has a secretary surnamed Zhang, and all the important official documents have passed through his hands, and he wants to find out the time when the prisoner car is on the road and the accompanying guards, and the route of travel, without sneaking into the yamen to steal official documents, just go directly to Zhang Shuban.
The plan has been decided, it is not advisable to stay here for a long time, Liu Yanzhi took them out of the back door, dispersed to the west gate of the water, and then met at the city gate, last night committed a big crime, the government will inevitably search and arrest, no inn is insured, only rent a boat to float on the Huai River to ensure safety.
Passenger ships and cargo ships gathered on the wharf, as long as there is money is not afraid of not being able to rent a suitable ship, he chartered a thirty-foot long eighty percent new passenger ship, the cabin should be fully equipped, the ship's face is loyal and honest, that is, the price is more expensive, the whole package costs two taels of silver a day and night.
Liu Yanzhi has a banker ticket by his side, the money village prevailed in the late Qing Dynasty, the banker ticket has a reliable reputation, and it can be used as a large amount of cash, this banker ticket with a face value of one hundred taels is enough for them to use for the last month, he gave the banker the banker, in fact, he believes in Miss Lin more, but after all, it is inconvenient for his daughter's family to show his face, and a man has to come forward for everything, at this time he can only choose to believe in the loyalty of the old housekeeper.
"You wait here for a day first, and then go to Jiangning, wait for me at the dock on the fifteenth day of every new year, and within a month, I will bring Master Lin to you." Liu Yan clenched his fists, "Don't say goodbye, goodbye." ”
……
At this moment, there was a commotion in the Yamen, three jailers were knocked unconscious, and five court prisoners were gone, no one could afford this crime, Lord Zhentai received the report, and hurriedly went to report to Governor Wei, the governor was furious, and was about to send a sign to send someone to search for it, and received a report from the government office, Zhang Bantou, who killed his relatives in righteousness, was killed in the bedroom, and there was a blood book written on the wall, which was arrogant to despise the royal law.
The governor passed the order to go, the four gates were closed, and the patrol battalion dispatched the whole city to search and arrest, and checked from house to house.
The master came over, shook the paper fan and said, "The governor sent someone to ask, how much has the telephone pole been repaired in the province?" ”
"Leave him alone." Governor Wei said angrily, although the governor is not as high as the governor's grade, but the two do not have a direct relationship with each other, they are both responsible to the imperial court, not to mention that the two are quite different in terms of political views, Governor Wei is extremely resistant to foreigners, and Liu Kunyi, the governor of Liangjiang, is a representative of the enlightened faction, Governor Wei only has the Queen Mother Lafayette in his heart, so he doesn't care about the governor or not, he has this confidence.
"I'm afraid it's not right." The master was cautious, for fear that his proprietor would be hindered in his career.
Wei Fushun sneered: "Let's see, after this turmoil, I have to pick a few red tops." ”
The hat beads used on the official hat of the first-class officer are rubies, and Governor Wei is alluding to Liu Kun's mistake in standing in line, and when Lafayette defeats the foreigners, these disobedient governors will be unlucky, and then he Wei Fushun will kill foreigners and burn churches, lift railways and cut electric poles because of political correctness, and implement the spirit of the Queen Mother Lafayette to the letter, and he will definitely stand out, and the official will be just around the corner.
"Your Excellency is wise." The master made a thousand, full of flattery.
"Go down and rest." Governor Wei waved his hand.
The master walked backwards out of the signing room, had nothing to do, walked around, sat in the bookstore for a while, drank a pot of tea, discussed the situation in the world, and was full of hope for Lord Wei, and even thought about what kind of house would be suitable for them to buy in Jiangning Mansion after the lord was promoted to the governor of Liangjiang.
"The river house by the Qinhuai River is the most suitable for you when you are old." Zhang Shuban complimented, "I heard that the courtyard of Sanjin is only five hundred taels of silver, maybe Lord Wei is happy, and he can't keep a set of rewards." ”
"Where, where." The master smiled, took out a pocket watch with a silver chain from his pocket, glanced at it, and said, "It's almost noon, Lao Zhang, you don't go home for dinner." ”
"Oops, the rise of chatting, I forgot the time." Zhang Shu said, and did not forget to praise: "This pocket watch is really beautiful." ”
"An adult's reward is certainly not an ordinary thing." The master wiped the shell of the pocket watch with the placket of his clothes, "I heard that it is the belongings of foreign priests, and the Boxers seized the objects of filial piety to adults, and the objects of foreigners are not rare for adults, so they rewarded me." ”
"Your blessing, we can't catch up." Zhang Shuban packed up his things, wrapped them in a blue cloth, said goodbye to his master, walked out of the governor's yamen, and walked home slowly.
When he was about to arrive at the door of the house, Zhang Shuban saw that there was a Zhuang ticket on the ground, and when he bent down to pick it up, he suddenly felt that his body was light, and the whole person was lifted up, and he was dizzy and entered the alley next to him.
A foreign gun was against Zhang Shuban's head, this kind of six-wheel gun made by Citigroup was powerful, and the governor's guard was equipped with several miles, and he had observed it when he was shooting, not to mention the head, the stone could pierce a hole, Zhang Shuban trembled, his teeth chattered, and he couldn't speak.
"What I ask, what you answer, you nod if you understand." The masked man said.
Zhang Shuban nodded like pounding garlic.
"When did Lin Huaiyuan go to the capital, what road did he take, and how many soldiers and horses did he follow?"
"The day before yesterday, I walked on the official road by land, escorted ten horses with a division of people, thirty soldiers from the governor's pacesetter battalion, and led the team by a thousand generals, armed with swords and birds, a total of three carriages, ten war horses, every sentence is true, I dare not hide it." Zhang Shuban is a shrewd person, how dare he play tricks at the moment of life and death.
"The head will be sent to your neck first, if you dare to make a noise, your family is old and young, hum." The man put away the gun and climbed up to the wall, and Zhang Shuban's feet were weak and he collapsed on the ground.
……
Liu Yanzhi returned to the hotel and told Lei Meng what happened last night to them, saying that he planned to rescue Lin Huaiyuan, and then cross the ocean to kill George. Cunningham.
Zhang Wenbo and Guo Yuhang were full of displeasure and complained that he was troublesome, but Lei Meng admired his perseverance and said, "If you need any help, just ask." ”
Liu Yan said straightly: "Zhou Jiarui doesn't know where to go, but he must remember the time to go back, when you return to the baseline time and space, he should also appear, and when the time comes, you take him along, maybe he will bring a chick with him, just give up my place to that chick, I need a few horses, guns and bullets, and silver." ”
Lei Meng agreed: "Okay, we don't need it anyway, it's all for you." ”
After a few moments, Liu Yanzhi's outfit was ready, two Martini rifles, 50 bullets, two Colt revolvers, 120 bullets, a waist knife, three war horses, and a few silver dry food and drinking water.
Liu Yan turned over and got on the horse, and Lei Meng helped him insert the rifle full of bullets into the leather bag next to the saddle, and said with emotion: "I really want to go with you." ”
"Let's go." Liu Yan said straight.
Lei Meng's old face flushed: "But it really doesn't make sense." ”
Liu Yanzhi didn't answer, grabbed the horse's belly, galloped away, and the two empty war horses also followed closely behind and spread their hooves and galloped.
"He's crazy, isn't he, really thinking of himself as a hero?" Zhang Wenbo narrowed his eyes and leaned against the wall and said.
"He's too into the play." Guo Yuhangdao said, "One pair of forty, he has no chance of winning at all." ”
