Chapter 513

Shi Qiusheng stretched out his right hand to Pan Xigui, Pan Xigui looked at him and then at Jia Cong, and involuntarily stretched out his right hand gently. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Shi Qiusheng clenched his hand heavily, and held his other hand up: "Welcome, comrade." Pan Xigui was dazed, and only laughed a few times.

A few people then sat down on the side of the long table, and the golden mandarin duck took the tea tray and said, "This area is deserted during the day, and there are more people at night." Many comrades came to study after work. ”

Pan Xigui couldn't help but ask, "What do you dare to ask?" ”

Shi Qiusheng said: "Learn to read and write, learn arithmetic, learn revolutionary theory, and learn Marxist thought. Jia Cong stiffened his face beside him and didn't laugh out loud.

Although Pan Xigui couldn't understand a word, seeing Shi Qiusheng's serious face, he couldn't help but nodded. After a while, he asked, "Dare to ask the owner......"

Shi Qiusheng said: "Don't call me the owner, we are all comrades, just call me Comrade Xiaoshi or comrade." ”

Where did Pan Xigui dare to call him Xiaoshi? Hurriedly shouted "comrade" respectfully. In fact, he did not know what the official title of "comrade" was. Shi Qiusheng agreed coolly. Pan Xigui said: "Comrade, what kind of shop is this revolutionary Freemasonry? ”

Shi Qiusheng said with a smile: "Our revolutionary Freemasonry is not a shop, it is an organization. There are workers, there are people who run the hall, there are people who work hard, and there are people who do small crafts, all of them are the laborers at the bottom of society. We set up this organization to help each other and help each other in the same boat, hence the name 'Freemasonry'. Saying that, he glanced at Jia Cong, and Jia Cong blinked. Shi Qiusheng raised his head and said, "In the future, maybe you can do a bigger business." ”

Jia Cong said: "To put it bluntly, it is to unite the people who are powerless. Who doesn't have a hard time? If you are injured or sick, everyone will help each other, and you can't say that you can get through that level? Besides, if anyone is bullied by the ruffians and the owner, everyone will help him to make a gesture and seek justice cheaply. He paused, "Not every household will recognize Princess Jian'an." ”

Pan Xigui suddenly said: "The villain understands." ”

Shi Qiusheng said: "Our business has just started, and the next step is to establish an industry trade union. ”

Jia Cong said: "It's the kind of organization similar to the Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber of Commerce is a meeting of the owners, and the trade union is a meeting of the workers and men who do the work. The proprietor bullied his fellows, the wages he paid were too low to make a living, and he was dismissed if he was injured while working and did not receive treatment, and so on. After all, there are few rangers who fly away from the sky, and they only take care of some things that hurt the heavens and reason, and they have never seen the trivial things to manage. For thousands of years, these things have been endured by workers and fellows through gritted teeth. If all the workers in the capital are of the same mind, they can go to the owner to seek justice. No matter how bad it is, you can still strike, right? ”

Pan Xigui couldn't help but hesitate: "Isn't that a trouble with the owner?" What about the proprietor going to the government? ”

Jia Cong smiled and picked up the teacup: "It's a big deal, the government will only help the people, not the owner." In the eyes of the government, public opinion is much more important than businessmen. It is even better for the government that someone has come to check and balance these businessmen who are getting richer and richer, and they can't send their evil slave brother-in-law to rob their shops. ”

Shi Qiusheng said: "The nobles are evil, and there are rangers to punish them; Merchants are evil, and there are Freemasonry to counter it; The people are evil, and the government investigates and deals with them. In this way, the world is much more peaceful. ”

Pan Xigui nodded again and again: "Comrade has such a big vision!" In his heart, he suddenly remembered that Jia Cong was a staff member of King Yan, could it be that this matter was instructed by the prince? Suddenly, I felt like I had become an official, and I puffed up my chest.

Jia Cong saw that he was well adjusted, so he left. Shi Qiusheng and his wife led Pan Xigui to talk about some internal matters, and said that his errand was to contact comrades everywhere, and his title was "correspondent". They sent a kid to tell Qi that Pan Xigui had something to do today and would have to return late.

In the evening, sure enough, more than 20 people came over, doing everything, the older ones were more than 50, and the younger ones were only 15 or sixteen, and they all called each other "comrade". They called Shi Qiusheng differently, some called "Comrade Shi", some called "Xiao Shi", some called "Comrade Qiusheng", and some called "Commissioner Shi". On the second watch day, a young man named Ge Qiao came who looked like a general, and everyone called him "Ge Political Commissar". This person is extremely knowledgeable and has a good martial arts, even Shi Qiusheng, the entire Freemasonry Association respects Political Commissar Ge very much, and Pan Xigui can't help but admire him. Since then, Pan Xigui has ceased to be a coachman and has devoted himself to working for Freemasonry.

In March of that year, Situ Panbai, the king of Yan, worshiped the general Gan Lei as the generalissimo of the expedition to the north, and Zhong Wei, Niu Jicheng, Niu Jiye, Wei Ruolan, etc., all under his command, led 200,000 troops from Tianjin Port to cross the sea to attack North America. There was information that the other country was being plagued by the smallpox plague, and it was terrible. Before sending troops, Niu Jicheng, the second master of Zhenguo Mansion, and Liu Yunxi, the daughter of the Huizhou prefect, visited the church and married. After getting married, Liu Yunxi stayed in the capital for the time being, and the young couple were newly married Yan'er and said goodbye.

Seeing that he was about to take the oath and set off the day after tomorrow, Situ Pan announced Gan Lei into the mansion alone and told him: "This time the general Cao who piloted for Marshal Gan, did Feng Ziying tell you?" ”

"General Cao Xinsheng? He has not yet seen him. Gan Lei said, "The last general has already obtained a thick stack of news booklets from Lord Feng. Although General Cao was a member of our dynasty, he worked as a sailor on a Western sea ship, and later dug some Western sailors to be his own maritime merchants, and for many years he traveled back and forth between our coast and the North American colonies of Western countries, and was most familiar with the shipping routes. There are also two small ports and two camps in North America. ”

Situ Pan nodded: "Yes, in fact, he has also been a pirate." ”

Gan Lei smiled: "The prince recruited a pirate, and he did a good thing for the people. Wouldn't it be much safer to travel to and from merchant ships? ”

Situ Pan smiled and said, "This battle is really important, and it is related to the national fortune of our country for hundreds or even thousands of years. King Lone weighed for many days and finally pardoned General Cao's sins. ”

Gan Lei said: "The prince is wise. ”

Situ Pan said: "No matter what Cao Xinsheng did in the past, his name is 'Xinsheng', that is, he has reformed himself, as if he has been reborn. It is also a last resort to accept him for his own use. ”

Gan Lei said: "With this person to pilot, these 200,000 troops can reach the other country safely." For what he did wrong in the past, he will also be punished. ”

Situ Pan nodded: "It's good that Marshal Gan understands." Don't tell anyone. Gan Lei stood up and clenched his fists in agreement. Situ Pan shouted, "General Cao, come and see Marshal Gan." ”

I saw a person flash out from behind the screen, burly and strong, with a face as black as tung oil, and saluted Gan Lei with a fist: "The last general will meet the handsome." ”

Gan Lei suddenly gasped: although he hadn't seen him for many years, and although this person's appearance had changed a lot, Gan Lei was not unrecognizable to him. This person named Cao Xinsheng is the former Tianjin general Cao Datong - the first of the four generals in the Beijing Division, who trapped the emperor's mausoleum in Xiaoci County and kidnapped the emperor's son.

Stunned for a long time, Gan Lei's face changed black and white for a while, and finally laughed and laughed, and also hugged his fists and said: "This trip to the ocean depends on General Cao's pilot." Gan thanked General Cao for 200,000 soldiers. ”

Situ Pan laughed: "The two of you are harmonious, and Gu will win half of this battle." Then he ordered his men to bring wine in, and he wanted to drink a few glasses with the two beloved generals. That night, all three of them were drunk.

Jia Cong waited for the news that he got the next day, looked at each other for a long time, and sighed: "The superior is not shameless." He added, "Most of the people who went back to North America were young generals who didn't recognize Cao Datong." ”

Chen Ruijin said: "Or those who have been promoted in recent years, their official positions were not high earlier, and even if they have seen it before, they are not very recognizable now." ”

Jia Cong remembered that he didn't know if there was anyone familiar with the sea route in Wu Guo, so he released a pigeon for Wu Guo. A few days later, I got a reply from Wei Ruoxing: "Wu Guo is not idle in Dongying. Nai put his mind at ease and laughed at himself: "Guan Gong played a big knife in front of the door." That's for later.

On the day the army marched out, the military flag hunting covered the sky and the sun. Jia Cong followed Feng Ziying, and it was cool to see it! The corners of the mouth are pulled apart and they can't be closed. Situ Pan stood on the high platform and spoke for a long time, and the soldiers below responded like thunder, but Jia Cong didn't hear a word. All he thought in his heart was: It's time to wait! It's not easy, and future generations of candidates don't have to take the fourth or sixth level anymore.

After Yan Jun left, Liu Er took over the business of the envoy of the king of Chu and went to the state of Chu to serve as a bodyguard for their prince. He was accompanied by a master of S.H.I.E.L.D., who was clever and well-versed in medicine and could identify all kinds of poisons. For the convenience of the title, this person took a very insincere pseudonym called Zhang San.

Liu Er, Zhang San, and soon after entering the Chu Palace, they understood why the envoy of the King of Chu was looking for them. It was not to guard against the assassins, but to protect against the King of Chu himself. This King of Chu is really different from other princes. has a quiet temperament, has no intention of politics, and can't wait to travel around the mountains and rivers every day with piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. His favorite concubine Xiao is the daughter of his husband, the two of them know each other when they are young, and they are also together, and the poems are also right, and they will be a pair of beautiful people in the peaceful and prosperous world. There are also women next to her who are better than Xiao's appearance, and some are more talented than her, and the king of Chu can't look down on any of them. At the end of the old year, when the king of Chu heard that his concubine had been decided, he almost ran away from the palace by keeping a vigil for his father and grandfather.

Chen Ruijin got a letter to shoot the case: "I guessed! Nai picked up the pen and wrote a reply to Zhang San, and Jia Cong took a look at it - she wrote a coded letter, and she couldn't read it!

Because the king of Chu was about to marry the concubine, the queen mother saw that he really loved the Xiao family too much, so she wanted to find the Xiao family and make a mistake. There is nothing wrong with the zodiac's and the truth; And the Queen Mother also likes Xiao and is unwilling to frame her. Nai sighed, called Xiao Shi over, took her hand and said, "My son, the mourning family is really helpless." Your good mourner knows, the prince's mind, and your mourner knows. But the prince is the lord of the Chu country. Now these jackals, tigers and leopards in the four places, where can he live in peace? If he can't live in peace, where can you live in peace? Ansheng, who doesn't have a mourning family, isn't it? ”

Xiao closed his eyes and wept, broke free from the Queen Mother's hands and kowtowed: "Concubine understands." The concubine often persuaded the prince, but he only didn't listen. ”

The Queen Mother said: "The mourning family knows that you are a good one. Now that the prince's wedding is just around the corner, if he snubs the princess and offends the princess's family because of you, I'm afraid the throne will not be guaranteed. ”

Xiao Shi was silent for a moment and said: "The concubine has been weak since she was a child. In the early years, from Beijing to Chu State, I suffered some colds and fell ill all the way, and I did not get better for many years, and I got sick every spring. Seeing that this disease has been committed again. "Nai coughed twice," the concubine begged the queen mother to be gracious, let the concubine go to the Bodhi Nunnery outside the south gate of the city to raise for a few months, and then return to the palace to serve the prince when she is sick. ”

The Queen Mother nodded again and again: "Good boy, you are really much more sensible than the prince." ”

Xiao Shi thought for a while and said, "The concubine wants to bring more people, so as not to worry about the prince." In these years, it has been difficult in the palace, so I will close the courtyard where I live, and it will not be too late to clean it when I return to the palace in the future. ”

The Queen Mother shouted with joy: "Thoughtful! I couldn't help but step forward and stroke Xiao's head, and said with tears in my eyes, "Good boy, good boy!" It's hard to know where you came from! The stupid boy of the mourning family doesn't know which life has cultivated the blessings to be able to get you by your side. "The door of the Xiao family's courtyard is closed, even if the king of Chu wants to go to her in anger, he can't stay there in vain." What the mourning family can't think of, what he can't think of, you have thought of it for our mother and son. You can rest assured that the mourning family will never live up to your filial piety. Xiao bowed his head in thanks.

Two days later, Xiao led the female eunuchs of the palace in her courtyard out of the city and moved to the Bodhi Nunnery. The king of Chu naturally refused, and he also looked for the queen mother to have a big temper. Later, Xiao didn't know how to persuade him, although he was unhappy with a drooping face, he still rode a horse and sent her away in person. As soon as the Xiao family left, everyone in the Chu State, from the Queen Mother to the loyal ministers, breathed a sigh of relief.

In the blink of an eye, on the day of the wedding of the king of Chu, all countries sent envoys to celebrate. The upper and lower tents of the Chu Palace dance the dragon, the curtain flies and the phoenix, the gold and silver glow, the jewelry competes for brilliance, the incense of the lily is burned, and the stamen of the bottle is inserted into the periwinkle. As soon as the auspicious time arrived, the sound of cars and horses outside the palace, the sound of firecrackers, and the sound of congratulations sounded at the same time, and the new princess had already gotten off the sedan chair; The palace was in chaos.

The king of Chu was clearly still there, and he was neatly dressed and waiting for the worship hall. Suddenly, he looked up at the Western grandfather clock, and said, "Lonely and upset, you all go out." "The servants did not dare to go. The King of Chu said angrily, "Can the Lone King still grow wings and fly?" Get out! All out! "I smashed a vase. When the people saw that he was annoyed, they did not dare to disobey his orders, so they had to retreat. After waiting for a long time, a message came back from outside saying that the new princess was about to arrive at the street in front of the palace, and asked the prince to prepare quickly. The big eunuch patted the door for a long time, but he didn't see any sound inside, so he hurriedly pushed the door in: the auspicious clothes of the big wedding were folded in all directions and placed on the desk, but the king of Chu was nowhere to be seen.

The Queen Mother was in a hurry, and personally led people to search for it inside and out, and suddenly remembered someone: "What about Xiao's?" ”

The next person returned: "Didn't Xiao Niangniang not feel good since she hit March and has moved out of the palace?" ”

The Queen Mother shouted one after another: "Go find her!" Then he shouted again, "What about the two dart masters invited by Jingli?" ”

The subordinate said: "I haven't seen it." ”

"Find! Find it quickly! ”

Where can I find it? The bride entered the wedding hall and waited for a long time to see the groom. Some people ran out of the city and rushed to Bodhi Nunnery. Because the Xiao family is a royal treasure, they live in the back courtyard alone, and the sister-in-law in the nunnery is not in the past. When I got there, I saw that there was no one in Qingqing. said that the prince and even the cat raised by the Xiao family are gone.
