Chapter Twenty-Three: Abandoned and Arrested

As the old saying goes, there are no eggs under the nest, the Chen family is in trouble, Chen Mu, as the second son of the Chen family, how can he be alone, that is, the long and short helpers in the family, they were all arrested by the government, and he, the young master, cannot be spared, this is what Chen Mu has always thought.

In this era of official-oriented thinking, the people do not have the consciousness to fight for human rights, although Chen Mu is a seed of study, but in the end he is a child, so even he thinks so, the government must sentence him guilty, but he has not considered the specific charges at all.

It wasn't until tonight that Lao Dao asked, and he came to his senses, although there was no excuse for the crime he wanted to add, but in the end there was to be an explanation.

He Huyong was obviously a little jealous of the old Dao Lu Shengwu, but after all, he brought the soldiers of the patrol battalion over, and he was a lot more confident, so he pointed at Chen Mu and replied.

"The French minister protested to the government, according to the Guangzhou Bay Lend-Lease Treaty in the 25th year of Guangxu, which was the French concession, and the boundaries were all self-governed by legal persons, but Chen Qiyou entangled the thugs and attacked the Countess du Carly, causing great casualties!"

"This is intended to set off a war between the two countries, once it breaks out, the coastal people are suffering from the crime of millions of people, Chen Qiyou and his son Chen Yinghe were killed in the attack, this is to blame, but the thugs under his command must be searched and arrested, handed over to the French concession side for severe punishment, in order to eliminate the misunderstanding between the two countries, this is the meaning of the imperial court, and it is also the duty of the government!"

"This official is the patrol horse battalion pipe belt, it is also incumbent, someone sued, claiming that Chen Qi's right second son Chen Mu was also on the boat that night, and the government issued an official document on sea arrest to investigate Chen Mu, this is a matter of law and reason, and if you dare to cover up, you will be punished as an accomplice!"

He Huyong held his head high, with a proud posture of being upright and serving the country and the people, and the people of Shuizhai were really shocked!

Chen Mu's heart was also half cold, because he was indeed on the boat that night, but he did not participate in the attack.

However, he was still indignant in his heart, Guangzhou Bay is the territory of my Greater China, leased to the French robbers for 99 years, it is already a great shame, these years, the government has done nothing, all rely on the spontaneous resistance of the people, to prevent the French robbers from encroaching on the inland.

These officials even suppressed and searched for the righteous people, who was not indignant when they heard it!

But an officer like He Huyong is ashamed to be proud of it, which is the biggest root cause of the world!

Chen Mu is the son of the Chen family, even if he can't get close to his father because of his father's appearance, even if he is cultivated by his father as a seed of study, and he is not allowed to get involved in the affairs of the gang.

But what he has in his bones is the blood of the Chen family, and his backbone is made of the iron bones of the Chen family, if he has this ability, he will definitely fight side by side with his father and brother that night!

"So why is he going to hand this kid over to the French?" Chen Mu is full of grief and anger, but the old way is still light and light.

He Huyong looked at Lu Shengwu, but shook his head: "No, not only him, but also the remnants of Chen Qiyou's subordinates, all of them must be hunted down and questioned, and they will be sent to the concession to be dealt with together!" ”

After all, there are hot-blooded people in this water village, and when they heard He Huyong being so righteous, they all felt unhappy for Chen Mu in their hearts, but they were also unclean, and they calmed down at this time, where did they dare to go against the government, they really wanted to make trouble, but they were rebelling!

At present, the government wants to cut down the grass and eradicate Hong Shuntang, but they don't have the courage to bump into it by themselves.

Fortunately, this old Taoist Lu Sheng is the god of the water village, sheltering the water village, he is willing to stand up for Chen Mu, maybe there is still three points of hope for this future child.

Chen Mu knew that Lu Shengwu was a master, he was shouldering the blood feud of his father and brother, and he had to live for the future of Hong Shuntang, so he hoped that Lu Shengwu would be able to make a profit for himself.

However, in the end, things disappointed Chen Mu, and he was very disappointed!

When Lu Shengwu heard He Hu Yong's words, he just snorted indifferently, and then said to He Hu Yong: "Since this is the case, you can arrest people." ”

Chen Mu also thought that he had misheard, but the old Dao Lu Shengwu just closed his eyes slightly, clasped his hands, and didn't say anything!

Although there is no master-apprentice status, but during these days, Chen Mu has always respected and served him as a teacher, and the transaction between the two has been going on, Chen Mu has been practicing hard, although Lu Shengwu did not teach knife skills, but Chen Mu was not less involved in daily life.

But when it came to the end, Lu Shengwu sent Chen Mu out so easily, and he didn't even fight and work hard for Chen Mu!

He Huyong was also overjoyed when he heard Lu Shengwu's statement, and glanced at the soldiers under him, and someone untied the cowhide rope around his waist and wanted to detain Chen Mu.

"Is it all the way it is......" Chen Mu also fell into despair, because he knew that if he fell into He Huyong's hands, everything would be over.

also lost himself to memorize all the shirt books and burned the original, as long as he resisted death, He Huyong would never kill him, but if he wanted to take revenge and hate, he wanted Hong Shuntang to make a comeback, but it was very difficult.

When the cowhide rope tied his hands, the soldier deliberately used force, and Chen Mu also felt great pain.

However, this pain made Chen Mu suddenly cheer up!

During these days, he was under pressure that ordinary people could not bear, and endured the unbearable pain of others, and he didn't even have time to mourn and mourn his family, for only such a big event, how could he give up easily!

How many times have he fallen into despair, and in the end, haven't they all died in despair, how can he just give up this time!

Thinking like this, Chen Mu said to He Huyong: "Can I ask for a sip of water to drink?" ”

He Huyong was slightly stunned, but after looking at Lu Shengwu, he still ordered the soldiers: "Come on, get water!" ”

These soldiers have just clashed with the people of the water village, where do they dare to enter the water village to get water?

At the critical moment, a thin figure walked out of the crowd, it was the little girl Qingyu!

She was also shocked, but knowing Chen Mu's true identity, and Chen Mu had a life-saving grace for her, she still mustered up the courage and walked forward with a bowl of water.

Seeing the herring, Chen Mu was also determined.

The reason why he asked for water was to find an opportunity, and in his expectation, it should be Honggu or Pu Wu, or even Lin Sheng.

However, it was a herring fish, which is actually good, after all, everyone else is an adult, and it is easy to arouse He Huyong's suspicion, but it is such a little girl as a herring fish, which will not be too dazzling.

The soldier subconsciously wanted to take the bowl in Qingyu's hand, but Chen Mu said: "I want her to feed me, I have been in Shuizhai for so long, and I have never let people serve me, I am afraid that I will not have this opportunity in the future." ”

The soldier glanced at Chen Mu, and his eyes were quite disdainful, but he asked him to feed Chen Mu, a kid, and estimated that he was not happy to touch him, so he stepped forward by the blue fish.

Qingyu saw that Chen Mu was tied with her hands, and her face was also full of worry and distress, but she was just played with by the guests of the water village, her hair was messy, her face was dirty, and her expression was not real.

When she stood on tiptoe, holding the water bowl, and approached her, Chen Mu lowered her voice and told her: "Go to Erliang Village, find Prussiantown, and let him save me!" ”

"Remember, Prussian!"

This is Chen Mu's real plan!

According to He Huyong's statement, the people involved in this matter will eventually be handed over to the French Concession to deal with, and Prussian is a ghost after all, and no matter what country he belongs to, it is better than a dog thief like He Huyong.

Chen Mu had a life-saving grace to Prussian, but he was always unwilling to accept his payment, and during this time, he followed him to learn Spanish, and the relationship between the two gradually warmed up.

After all, Chen Mu is a studious, and Prussian is very gentle, as for whether Prussian will come to save Chen Mu, this is not certain, but it is indeed an opportunity.

With this consideration, Chen Mu still wished that He Huyong would hand him over to the French Concession, for fear that He Huyong had been detaining Chen Mu, tortured and tortured, and forced to ask about the roster.

As if hearing Chen Mu's whispering, the soldier viciously pushed away the herring fish and knocked the water bowl to the ground!

"That's it! OK! ”

The herring fish was startled, and he didn't even dare to pick up the water bowl, so he retreated into the crowd, not even daring to turn his head back.

Chen Mu didn't know the bottom in his heart, after all, the herring was too frightened, and Prussian was a strange name, and he didn't know if the herring could remember it.

Moreover, the herring fish is just a slave in the water village, whether she can secretly go to Erliang Village for help is still a matter of two words, and whether Prussian will believe in herring fish and whether she will come to save Chen Mu is difficult to say.

Chen Mu sighed lightly, turned his head to look at Lu Shengwu, this old way was only hidden in the shadows, and he didn't seem to be willing to look at Chen Mu, and he didn't know if he would be ashamed.

It's just that after Chen Mu walked out for a while, he heard a rustling of discussions behind him, and many people even cursed Lu Shengwu loudly.

Although Chen Mu is not from the water village, but the incident happened in the water village, Lu Shengwu is the door god of the water village to watch the field, and he is worshiped by everyone on weekdays, but now he is easily taken away by Chen Mu, and it is reasonable for everyone to slander him.

Chen Mu was indeed very disappointed in Lu Shengwu, but he did not give up, because there was still a glimmer of life in Prussiantown.

Of course, Chen Mu also has hole cards in his hand, and the shirt book is in his mind, He Huyong is the secret of the uncle of the West Pavilion of Hong Shuntang, and only he Chen Mu knows.

And Chen Mu was arrested in public, and he was a crucial figure, and he was finally handed over to the French, and I believe that He Huyong would not dare to kill him.

In this way, Chen Mu will only suffer some prison at most, and he will not worry about life and death for the time being, which can be regarded as a good hope.

Besides, when I get to the prison, I can still see Hebo and others, and maybe we can discuss some countermeasures.

After all, Chen Mu is just a young man, and he needs courage many times, but he also needs opinions and suggestions.

Thinking like this, Chen Mu also made up his mind, but he didn't have that panic and fear, but when he looked back, he always felt that in the dark, with a pair of eyes, he followed him closely!
