Chapter 144: The Old Dream of Bianliang (3)
Coming out of the carriage was a very personable old man, about sixty years old, fair-skinned, straight-bodied, and evidently a pampered nobleman.
The servant who drove the carriage came to the door, and banged on the door, and a black slave came out of it: "Hello, who is it?" ”
"Please let me know, it is Wei Toen, the president of the Weishi Group in Jinzhou, Liaodong, who came to visit."
Cheng Qi, who was revising the manuscript in the house, received the famous post, and couldn't help but be stunned, thinking to himself, why did there be a Liao country here?
These days, there are many Liao people who have sat down with Cheng Qi and them to talk about life philosophy from poetry and songs, but most of them are enthusiastic young students. And Wei Tuoen's famous thorn paper is high-end, the title is dazzling, and listening to the description of the black slaves, it is obvious that he is not a fellow traveler with those hot-blooded young people of the Liao Kingdom, how could he come here?
With curiosity, Cheng Qi invited Lord Wei in.
The two sat down separately in the study, and the servant served tea and left quietly and closed the door.
"I'm a business owner from Golden State." Vedon briefly introduced himself, if the property under his name were lined up, I am afraid that dear readers would think that I was not shameless, but simply introduce his wealth, the sum of the property owned by this personable old man, if distributed among the commoners, would undoubtedly allow twenty million people to live a worry-free life for a lifetime, and the whole wealth of a middle-class family in an ordinary county town can only be called a drop in the bucket for him.
"I'm here to visit my husband because of that." Wei Tuen solemnly took out a newspaper, Cheng Qi looked at it, it was the first issue of "Truth Daily" after the republication, this newspaper is now a hot topic in Bianjing, where there are so many newspapers and magazines, the print run of only 500 copies has already been sold out, and there are many people who simply ignore the provisions of the copyright law and copy the above manifesto with pen and ink and distribute it everywhere - of course, it is difficult for you to say that the copyright owner of the pirated copy is not happy to see this.
"Sir Gaocai, this shocking theory has spread in the capital of your country in a short time, although it is a remote person in the north, but I have also heard the voice of Mr. Huang Zhong Dalu. It's just that I think that these remarks are either picking up people's teeth and wisdom, or rebellious, but they are not the right voice of the country......"
Cheng Qi nodded with a smile and interrupted Wei Toen's tirade: "Do you have any advice at your feet?" Say as much as you can. ”
Wei Tuen was stunned for a moment, probably he didn't expect this hairy boy to be so straightforward. He paused for a moment and said, "Actually, I came to ask Mr. about a ...... person," and he pointed to a note in the newspaper: "Does Sir know where she is now?" ”
"Yuan Xue?" Cheng Qi raised his vigilance: "What does this mean?" ”
"To tell you the truth, Yuan Xue is the daughter of my wife's mother's brother. Since childhood, he has been stubborn, and after reading a few crooked books, he has embarked on an evil path. Now I hear that she is in the south and has been involved with traitors again, which is really a misfortune for the family. Wei Tuen sighed: "Everyone is equal, but it is really a cult hypothesis, and the ideal of great harmony is purely a word of the death of the country." ”
Cheng Qi blinked his eyes: "The foot is so high-minded, it is really deafening." Sir, as the saying goes, the Tao is not the same, and when you come to the door today, it is full of brilliance. The tea is cold, so please go back. ”
Vedon put the newspaper down: "Young man, listen to me. Since ancient times, there has been a fixed division between the top and bottom, and there are other places for turbidity. Scholars and mud legs are never all the way. You are all the future pillars of the imperial court, why bother to rebel through the ages and cause infamy? ”
Cheng Qi smiled: "Infamy through the ages? I don't think it may be, thousands of years later, maybe there are really crazy people who will praise this cannibalistic society, it is just that it takes it for granted that it will be the Zhao family, but those who really understand it in their hearts should know that we are with the oppressed who account for the vast majority - as long as there are oppressed people in this world, there will be our comrades, there will be our supporters. Yuan Xue was with us and was very good. ”
Since he didn't speculate for more than half a sentence, then Wei Tuen could only say goodbye gloomily, he didn't even have a chance to take out the prepared envelope and stuff it to Cheng Qi - there was a check with many zeros written on it - as long as he was willing to tell him where Yuan Xue was now, he could give it to him immediately.
Wei Tuoen is Yuan Xue's own uncle, and he also grew up watching this child. With their family's wealth and power, of course, they can cover up some of the "whimsical" ideas of this little girl, but this does not mean that their elders can infinitely tolerate her "going crazy" outside.
The Liao Emperor had issued an edict to take "necessary measures" against the so-called "sticky poles" – the secret services of the Liao royal family – against those young people who had gone to foreign countries and were still engaged in the promotion of democracy and republican ideas. Wei Tuoen was also worried that his niece would be implicated in it, so he wanted to find her through Cheng Qi, and then take her back to marry a husband in peace...... Now it seems that he can only find a way to find this "unaccounted for" niece through his partners in the Song Kingdom.
Cheng Qi watched his carriage leave in the house, and then called Wu Dong: "I said old man, if you see such a guy covered in copper smell in the future, you don't have to let it in." ”
"Yes, young master."
Cheng Qi suddenly had a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Ah, a copper plate always has two sides, and now I suddenly have a little inspiration, the story takes place in a sinful city, it is a night with a light rain, and the richest Lord Wayne's family in the city is robbed in an alley...... This story profoundly criticizes the ugliness of the money society, and reveals the corrupt bureaucracy and the criminal syndicate...... Well, that's good, that's ......"
