He Huyong finally wore a suit of civilian clothes and appeared in front of Chen Mu.

Although he was dismissed, he was too majestic in the patrol battalion management and belt, and even if he lost his official status, he still maintained that majesty.

"Open the door."

The cell leader hesitated for a moment, but finally obediently opened the cell door, moved a chair from the class room, and placed it in front of Chen Mu.

He Huyong didn't sit down, just looked at Chen Mu, and his voice was a little vicissitudes: "You should understand, right?" You didn't give a big gift, but you just gave away my black yarn hat. ”

Chen Mu was a little uncomfortable: "I understand, but I don't understand, what's wrong with this world?" ”

"It is true that the French only have these few warships, and there are only these few hundred people, but in Shandong, in Shanghai, in other places, in addition to the French, there are also English, Citi, and Maozi in the north......"

"For the imperial court, no matter what color his hair and eyes are, no matter where they steal from them, they all move the whole body, but whenever someone opens his mouth, other foreigners will rush up like hungry wolves who have seen blood."

"I'm just a war, but there is no war to fight, it's not that there is no enemy, but there is an enemy, but I can't fight, I can't understand the decision-making of the imperial court, even if I can understand it, I can't do anything."

This is the first time He Huyong revealed his heart to Chen Mu, but Chen Mu couldn't be happy: "You said that you can't tell whether you are an official or a thief, isn't it very clear now?" ”

Yes, He Huyong is really doing a fake show, and he really regards himself as an official.

A lie will become the truth if it is told a hundred times, not to mention He Huyong, who is lurking in the officialdom but wants to be a good official?

He Huyong looked very flustered, maybe he had always known this answer, but he didn't dare to face it, and was suddenly exposed by Chen Mu, he had to face the reality, he betrayed his original intention.

"No, I'm not an official anymore, I'm still a person in the torture hall! I support you to take over Hong Shun Hall, and I want to be an elder of the Hui Torture Hall! ”

He Huyong is a well-thought-out, steady and introverted person at all times, but at the moment he is a little overwhelmed, like a hairy boy who has made trouble.

Chen Mu shook his head: "If you choose to support me just to find yourself, then I won't accept it, unless you really approve of me." ”

He Huyong smiled bitterly: "I watched you all the way, how could I not recognize you?" Don't worry, I have been removed, and the past cases will also be liquidated and retried, and your identity as the second young man of the Chen family will have a chance to be restored......"

Chen Mu also laughed sarcastically and said, "Is the identity of the second young man of the Chen family really so important?" You and Xu Guanxi know that I am the second young man of the Chen family, haven't you also given me a good look? ”

"I am the son of the Chen family, and I will always be the son of the Chen family, and those who know will eventually know, and those who don't know don't have to be publicized."

Seeing that Chen Mu had not accepted himself, He Huyong no longer fought for it, but just said to Chen Mu: "This time they arrested you, they will definitely hand you over to the foreigners, because you blew up the foreigners' ship, but don't worry, I will try my best not to let you suffer, even if it is a letter of nomination I gave you, I really want to help you up!" ”

Chen Mu was also very emotional in his heart, he had actually always wanted to be recognized by He Huyong, he was different from Xu Guanxi, Xu Guanxi was a person who was different from what he was looking for, and he could even stand by and watch Chen Mu.

And He Huyong, whether directly or indirectly, has given Chen Mu a lot of help, even if he doesn't think that Chen Mu can take over Hong Shuntang, but he still cares about the fact that Chen Mu is the son of the Chen family.

But now, He Huyong finally admitted that he had always recognized Chen Mu, but Chen Mu did not have the joy he imagined.

Once upon a time, he longed for He Huyong's support and help, and even at this time, he still had such a need, it can only be said that he did not stand up when Chen Mu needed it most, that's all.

As for the court wanting him to take the blame and hand him over to the foreigners, Chen Mu was not very surprised, because the fight was the result of this incident, and Chen Mu was the protagonist, and Chen Mu was originally going to take the blame, plus the incident of blowing up the ship, it was even more inexplicable.

If He Huyong still has an official position, he may be able to pull Chen Mu along, but now that he has even lost his official position, it will be even more difficult to rescue Chen Mu.

Chen Mu also knew that it was very difficult, so he said to He Huyong: "I don't want you to save me, I just need you to help me do something." ”

He Huyong looked at Chen Mu, a little suspicious, but still said, "You say." ”

Chen Mu walked to the door of the cell, lit a cigarette stick, took a few puffs, and then said to He Huyong: "I want you to find a way to let Brother Du get out, I believe it won't be too difficult, foreigners just want a backpot, it's enough to have me, there's no need to suffer all in prison." ”

He Huyong showed an expression that he knew this earlier, and was about to speak, Chen Mu continued: "I'm not righteous, but because I have injuries on my body, I can't do anything when I go out, but Brother Du can run around and find a way to save me when he goes out, which is the result of comprehensive consideration." ”

He Huyong heard this, and finally nodded: "Okay, I'll do it." ”

Just as he was about to say more, the cell boss suddenly ran in: "Master, it's terrible, General Guangzhou is here, you better go out first." ”

He Huyong heard this, and did not stay, and immediately walked out, and after a while, he saw a person walking in.

This person is also in his forties, thin and dark, although the official uniform fits very well, but he always feels that it is a child wearing adult clothes.

He had two wisps of rat whiskers, no black gauze hat, thin and long braids at the back of his head, and his teeth were not very straight, but his eyes were shining and very sharp.

This person's name is Qingchang, he is a native of the Yellow Banner of Manchuria, a general in Guangzhou, in charge of the military of Guangzhou, and there is a murderous aura in his anticipation.

This Guangzhou general, which is often referred to as the Guangdong general, is a common name, but the Guangzhou general is a formal official title, which was added during the Kangxi period, and the official rank is the same as that of the governor.

Speaking of this official position, there is also a relationship.

Emperor Kangxi cut the domain, and the king of Pingnan was still happy, so he was in Liangguang, and after cutting the domain, Emperor Kangxi has been sending a serious illness to defend Guangdong.

In addition to the green battalion soldiers in Guangdong, there are also eight banner soldiers, and after the addition of the Guangzhou general, the Guangzhou general will be in charge of all the green battalions in the province!

In other words, although the rank of the general of Guangzhou was the same as that of the governor, his status was higher than that of the governor, and almost all of them were filled by Manchus!

After He Huyong was removed from his post and investigated, the Guangzhou general was appointed to take over the defense here.

Chen Mu didn't know much about Qingchang, after all, he was not a person in the officialdom, and at most he had heard of the name or some deeds.

However, Chen Mu knows very well that the combat effectiveness of the Green Battalion is no longer successful, and the Eight Banners Battalion has plummeted, but the Guangzhou General is still as beautiful as before.

"You blew up the foreigner's warship?" Qingchang's accent is a little stiff, and it hasn't been long since he wanted to come to Ren, and now he has a headache when he encounters this kind of thing.

"Yes." Although Chen Mu is only a mastermind, in order for the brothers to be able to pick them out, Chen Mu will not hesitate to take this matter down.

"Speaking of pride, you think you're a big hero?" Keichaga's face was very ugly.

"Do you know that the foreigners are just pretending, just coaxing, and they can be sent away casually, but if you blow up their ship, the compensation is not something that can be sent casually, how many silver taels will you blow up the imperial court!"

Chen Mu suddenly felt a little disgusting: "Why do you have to coax and accompany you?" Isn't this the land of my Great Qing Kingdom? ”

Keicho jumped to his feet: "It's stupid! Ignorant! ”

"Do you think there are only a few hundred foreigners? Do you think there are no foreigners anywhere else? ”

"You are just a little country mess, where can you understand the major affairs of the country and the world, these foreigners are now doing business in our dynasty, railways and minerals and foreign trade, there is nothing they don't do, these foreigners have a more efficient communication method than us, and they work together, calculating all day long, I wish I was going to divide up my Qing Dynasty, do you know how much trouble this bombing will cause!"

Chen Mu laughed and said: "If the general says so, we must be careful to coax and serve, we need to know that people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, how can these foreigners have a full stomach, do they want to give away the entire Qing Dynasty!" ”

"Bastard!" Qing Chang was suddenly furious, and he slapped him, but he was easily dodged by Chen Mu.

"You dare to hide! It's against you! Drag me out and kill me! Kill! Qingchang screamed loudly, his face flushed.

Chen Mu smiled and said: "Hahaha, the general is really like the officials above, they all like to lie to themselves, you dare to kill me?" Kill me, what do you use to explain to the foreign master? ”

Qingchang was already trembling: "Do you think that if I don't dare to kill you, there will be no way to cure you!" Come on, give me a big punishment! ”

The cell boss and jailer behind him trembled with fright, but Chen Mu raised his head slightly and said: "General, you should be able to see that I can still do both, and I may not be able to do anything else, but I can't think about it for a while, and if I want to end my own life, I can still do it!" ”

"You threaten me? You're going to die for me! Qing Chang snatched the horsewhip from the hand of his entourage, and was about to hit Chen Mu.

However, Chen Mu tore open his clothes with a tear at this time, revealing the wounds on his body that were still oozing blood.

"I dare to kill foreigners, I dare to bomb foreigners' warships, my body is full of wounds, but I have a rotten life, you dare to hit me, see if I dare to die!"

Chen Mu also knew that forcing each other to death was the most scoundrel move, and it was the behavior of the weak, and he was really unwilling to do it.

But if you don't do that, you won't be safe, let alone take the brothers out.

He had to arouse Keichang's boredom and hatred, and concentrate all these emotions on himself, so as to weaken the influence of his brothers in this matter, so that it would be much easier for He Huyong to rescue his brothers.

Qingchang's whip did not fall after all, and he scolded viciously: "Despicable minion! Wait a few days, the result of the peace negotiation will come down, and see how the foreigners clean you up! ”
