Chapter 45: The temple is too small

"Master Jin is such a master of copying, but-"

Sheng Huaixuan hesitated a little: "You and I are acting on our behalf, is it appropriate?" ”

"My lord, now you and I and Beiyang are grasshoppers on a rope; With all due respect, if Lao Zhongtang is in retreat, Beiyang will have no backbone, which is tantamount to a tree falling and scattering; This Tianjin Customs Road is the difference between the country and the United States, how many hungry wolves are staring, how will the adults deal with themselves at that time? Besides, the two confessions are handed in together, how to choose, or have a new confession, it is not your business, you just need to stand in line with the old hall and show that you are sincere. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”

He Changying smiled and took a sip of Yixing Yangmu Mao Feng, looked at Sheng Huaixuan and said.

Sheng Huaixuan looked at He Changying in surprise, this kid is only in his early twenties, and in a moment, he made it clear that he was an old man who had not completely straightened out his relationship, what a hero!

Sheng Huaixuan is also a neat and neat person, just thought about it slightly, and immediately nodded and said, "How to change?" ”

"It's very simple, Ishikawa Wuichi's confession must be more false and less true; Let's remove those things that we know are nonsense at a glance, and just say that Wang Kaijia and Liu Di colluded with him; For the rest of the people on the original, Lao Zhongtang will find out the referee. ”

He Changying lit a cigarette, he really didn't expect that his first corruption in the Great Qing Kingdom was actually completed in the name of Ishikawa Wuichi.

The Governor's Mansion of Jinmen, the second hall signed the detention room.

Ishikawa Wuyi's case finally developed in the direction that Li Hongzhang was most unwilling to see, and was stabbed to Guangxu.

Li Hongzhang received the news that this morning, under the emperor's "shock", he strictly ordered the relevant competent officials to conduct a strict investigation to find the Japanese spies lurking everywhere, and asked the criminal department to question the Jinmen City Defense Camp and the Tianjin Customs Road.

"The trees want to be quiet and the wind doesn't stop!"

Li Hongzhang put on tortoiseshell glasses, picked up the two confessions that Sheng Huaixuan had just sent in, and looked at them carefully.

"In the middle hall, a few clowns jumping off the beam are just trying to shake the tree in vain."

Sheng Huaixuan sat respectfully on the side and said with a smile.

Speaking from the heart, Sheng Huaixuan is grateful to Li Hongzhang from the bottom of his heart.

In the ninth year of Tongzhi, Sheng Huaixuan entered Li Hongzhang's shogunate as a staff member, and it has been twenty-four years in a blink of an eye.

Especially ten years ago, Sheng Huaixuan embezzled money and grain from the Tianjin Customs Road in order to help the Telegraph Bureau.

"A bunch of nonsense, trying to slander the innocence of my governor's yamen!"

After reading Ishikawa Wuyi's confession, Ren is Li Hongzhang is deeply cultivated, and he is also angry.

"At that time, when He Shuban saw it, he smiled and said that this was Ishikawa Wuyi's discordant plan, and he simply regarded me as a clear person."

Sheng Huaixuan made a smiling expression of contempt for the ignorance of the Oriental day: "So He Shuban rewrote a more truthful confession based on Ishikawa Wuichi's confession on his own initiative. ”

"This kid from He Ningyuan's family is a restless master."

Li Hongzhang said with a smile, last night he asked his son-in-law to read him "Young China Says", which is a rare first-class good article for decades, and he regretted that he went to Jinhaiguan Road to wade into the troubled waters of Ishikawa Wuyi's case, but he didn't expect to wake up one night, and this kid pried Ishikawa Wuyi's mouth open.

"I am an Oriental, 28 years old this year, I have been to China for many years, and I have been to Yantai, Beijing and other places; In September last year, I came to Jinmen with Toshio Inoue, lived in Songchang Foreign Bank, and unintentionally got to know Wang Benmu, who was in the Jinmen City Defense Battalion, and then met Liu Shudi, the secretary of the Jinmen Ordnance Bureau, and he gave me a list of the number of guns and gunpowder,——"

After Li Hongzhang read the 'confession' dictated by He Changying and Master Jin's copying of the knife, his face suddenly looked a lot better.

This confession, in his opinion, is obviously not good, the content is empty.

However, since there is the original of Ishikawa Wuichi, compared with the addition of some materials, it is an iron confession with conclusive evidence, and no one has anything to say.

Moreover, what makes Li Hongzhang even more important is that he cares more about the attitude of his subordinates after something happens.

This 'attitude' is the most important thing.

Sheng Huaixuan has followed him for more than 20 years, and it is not strange for Li Hongzhang to do this, and that boy from the He family, who has never been masked with himself, dares to be so bold, which inevitably makes Li Hongzhang amazed.

Of course, Li Hongzhang knew that this He family kid was ambitious, and if he didn't have ambition, he wouldn't take the initiative to send this 'vote'.

And he, Li Hongzhang, doesn't mind that his subordinates are ambitious, and they don't have ambitions, what is the difference between them and those silverfish in the court who have to get by and wait for death.

"Bold and careful, resourceful, and a sentinel, this kid is a bit like Yuan Weiting."

Li Hongzhang smiled happily.

Hearing Yuan Shikai's name, Sheng Huaixuan was a little displeased.

In the past few years, the brothers in Beiyang have gradually seen that Lao Zhongtang is focusing on cultivating Yuan Shikai, a martial artist.

This prodigal young man from Xiangcheng, Henan Province, who was fifteen years younger than himself, stayed in Korea for 12 years, and then he became a 'Minister of Negotiation and Trade Affairs of the Consul General of the DPRK' who was also a member of the Sanpin Taoist, and he was in a state of great glory for a while.

So Sheng Huaixuan said with a smile: "What is even more rare for this He kid is to write a good article, that "Heroic Soul Sacrifice", it makes people's blood surging after reading it; It not only saddens the tragic misfortune of my innocent Beiyang boy, but also invigorates the spirit of my Beiyang boy who would rather die than surrender and fight to the death in the East. ”

Speaking of this, Sheng Huaixuan couldn't help but think of Tang Shaoyi who came to worship yesterday.

Originally, this Tang Shaoyi, as Yuan Shikai's right-hand man, took the initiative to send it to the door, Sheng Huaixuan didn't mind digging up the wall.

However, this Tang Shaoyi is too calculating and unwilling to suffer; He also didn't want to think about it, without the dedication of 'walking in front', why should he allow him to be used by high-ranking officials?

But since this Tang Shaoyi has slipped back, then Yuan Shikai's slippery head must have fled back a long time ago.

Yesterday, Sheng Huaixuan originally wanted to ask Tang Shaoyi in private, but he never had the opportunity to speak.

If Yuan Shikai really came back, but he didn't come to the Governor's Mansion to answer the errand, he wouldn't mind giving Yuan Shikai some eye drops here in the old middle hall.

But for now, I can only put it aside for the time being, and think about it in the long run.

"That's what you're talking about, this kid has written another book, the name is very strange, what is it called "The Scream"? You can take a look. ”

Li Hongzhang laughed, Feixi's son is promising, and in his opinion, it is also a glamorous thing for him.

"Scream, shout what?"

Sheng Huaixuan said in surprise.

"Said that we are all stuffed in an iron house now, and we are all about to suffocate to death, but the boy of his He family was the first to wake up, so he shouted loudly, to wake up all the young people, and smash this iron house."

Li Hongzhang touched his beard and laughed.

"What about us, young man?"

Sheng Huaixuan heard the loopholes in Lord Zhongtang's words.

"Let's ah, the boy of the He family said that we are all a group of stupid old people, and the future of this China must be built by these young people; This little bastard who is not big or small, and has forgotten his roots. ”

Li Hongzhang laughed and scolded happily as if he heard the ignorant and arrogant words of his children and grandchildren.

"This kid."

Sheng Huaixuan didn't feel it when he heard it.

"Xingsun, in the afternoon, you let this kid come to the Governor's Palace, I want to see this little fellow who raises his arms and shouts with my own eyes."

Li Hongzhang's words made Sheng Huaixuan stunned, on the way to the Governor's Mansion to see the old Zhongtang, Sheng Huaixuan was still thinking about how to subdue He Changying, an unruly little guy, for his own use, and now it seems that his small temple can't fit that big god.
