When Wang Yongtai came back in the evening, the two brothers threw themselves in the cellar, looking at the room full of gold, silver and jewelry, laughing, after laughing enough, Wang Yongtai suddenly asked: "Fourth, I always feel unsteady, very unsteady......"

Wang Yongan was also deeply touched, nodded and said: "Second brother, I also feel unsteady, it may be the reason why we hurt the Yangzhou Cao Gang, and we copied the old bottom of the Yangzhou Cao Gang, and the remnants of the other rudder branches of the Cao Gang will definitely take revenge on us in the future, so this heart is like hanging in mid-air." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info There is an old saying that is good, don't do bad things in your life, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night, we hurt this Yangzhou Cao Gang, and ...... in the future"

Wang Yongtai waved his hand and said: "Don't worry about the future, living in the present is more important than anything else, but the fourth, I am in the army, it is easy to say, I am very safe." But you're not in the army, and you're often out of town, so it's hard to say. So I plan to let you go to Zhangde County immediately to propose your relatives in a few days, and fortunately, you can hide in Yuan Shikai's house for a while, it is very safe there, and no one dares to go to Yuan's mansion to make trouble and take revenge. ”

"Poof...... Wang Yongan couldn't cry or laugh, and said: "Second brother, do you want me to be a turtle with a shrunken head, or do you want me to be Yuan Shikai's son-in-law?" ”

"What do you say, you just hide in his house for a while, and wait for me to eliminate the remnants of the Cao Gang. I dare to say that there is no safer place in the world than Yuan Shikai's house, don't look at the 29th Mixed Association stationed in northern Henan to monitor Yuan Shikai, but if there is a little wrong in Yuan Shikai's family, then Ying Longxiang, the 29th Mixed Association Commander, must be the first to be dealt with by the imperial court. Wang Yongtai smiled firmly, and then his face sank again, and said: "More than half of my twenty-four mixed associations are from northern Jiangsu, and the Cao Gang has been operating in Su Province for a long time, and I don't know how many Cao Gang spies there are in the army, so it may not be safe to stay in the army." ”

Wang Yongan thought about it, but this is the truth, but he just went to the future father-in-law's house to hide, after all, this is not the case, in the end, he still can't save face. And he didn't feel at ease when he left his second brother in Yangzhou alone, but Wang Yongtai was resolute, and Wang Yongan couldn't dissuade him. After thinking about it for a night, Wang Yongan decided to marry Yuan Nianzhen back for the time being, after so many things, he missed Yuan Nianzhen, and he didn't know the sixth lady like a sick beauty. How are these days?

At this time, in Huanshang Village, Zhangde County, Henan Province, in the longevity garden of Yuan's mansion, Yuan Shikai looked at the newspaper in amazement, and said in disbelief: "This Wang Yongtai actually eradicated the Yangzhou Cao Gang?" Yangzhou Cao Gang is nominally the helmsman of the Cao Gang in the world, Wang Yongtai, this kid is worthy of the name of the King of Hades, and his courage is too big, he is stabbing the sky of the Qing Dynasty! ”

In Yuan Shikai's impression, this Wang Yongtai is really an inconspicuous little person, but he is just relying on his identity to be Wu Changchun's godson.

That Wu Changchun is the younger brother of Wu Changqing, the general of the Huai Army, and Wu Changqing is Yuan Shikai's Bole, and because of this relationship, after Wu Changqing's death, Wu Changchun became Yuan Shikai's helper.

When the Beiyang New Army was formed, although Wu Changchun was already ill and didn't care much about the military, Yuan Shikai still entrusted Wu Changchun with an important task and made him the commander of the fifth town of the Beiyang New Army. Wu Changchun is a native of Anhui Province, and since ancient times, the northern Jiangsu region has been in the same breath as Anhui Province, and Wang Yongtai, who is a native of northern Jiangsu, has also become a member of the Anhui system. But no matter how capable Wang Yongtai is, in the eyes of Yuan Shikai, he is just a relation, but he didn't expect that he would even dare to do it now with the Yangzhou Cao Gang, which is really fatal.

Yuan Shikai turned his head to look at his staff member Yang Du and his eldest son Yuan Keding, and said, "What do you think?" ”

After Yuan Shikai's birthday, his staff Zhang Yilu returned to his hometown in Changshu, Jiangsu Province to recuperate, and Yang Du also resigned from his idle position in the court, came to Huanshang Village, and became Yuan Shikai's chief of staff. Yang Du lowered his head and thought for a while, raised his head and smiled slightly: "Gong Yuan, this Wang Yongtai doesn't have such great courage when he speaks, there must be someone behind him to help." ”

Yuan Keding immediately said: "But isn't it? Dad, Brother Huizi, you see that this telegram says that Thickening is the mastermind behind it, and Thickening has long found out that the Cao Gang is plotting to rebel, so he secretly made a plan with Wang Yongtai to ......"

Yuan Shikai sneered: "Ridiculous! The Cao Gang was loyal to the Qing Dynasty, and two hundred years ago in the rebellion of Wu Sangui and the Three Feudatories, the Cao Gang from all over the country helped each other. Emperor Qianlong went to the south of the Yangtze River six times, and the Cao Gangs around the country secretly protected, and when the Taiping Army was in turmoil, the Cao Gangs from all over the country assisted the imperial court to exterminate the Taiping Army. ”

"Huh?" Yuan Keding was taken aback and said, "So the helmsman of the Yangzhou Cao Gang was wronged?" This thickening is really not a thing. ”

Yang Du said: "The Yangzhou Cao Gang also deserves it, I have long heard that the people of the Cao Gang are full of crimes, especially this Yangzhou Cao Gang, which is not a thing." In recent years, their abduction and trafficking in human beings has been despicable, and the trafficking of illicit salt has offended the imperial court and offended the foreigners, and the foreigners have protested several times against the Cao Gang for the trafficking of illicit salt. Back then, Yuan Gong supported the construction of the Jinpu Railway, but it was also secretly sabotaged by the Yangzhou Cao Gang, and now the regent Zaifeng supports Yuan Gong to build the Jinpu Railway, just to get rid of the Cao Gang and other moths. Therefore, this Cao Gang will be taken down sooner or later, but I didn't expect it to be the hand of Wang Yongtai, a small person, so the students thought that Wang Yongtai would not be punished. The last sentence was said by Yang Du's face and Yuan Shikai.

Yuan Shikai touched his beard and said thoughtfully: "It may not be true, after all, the Yangzhou Cao Gang has a lot of collusion with many dignitaries and nobles in the imperial court, especially the Internal Affairs Office, so the Internal Affairs Office exerts pressure, and Zaifeng treats Wang Yongtai as a black cauldron, but it is not impossible." Even if he didn't dare to punish Wang Yongtai, he offended the Internal Affairs Office and would have to suffer some hardships in the future. O Gentleman, wait a little longer to take care of him. Eradicated the Yangzhou Cao Gang, but it also gave the old man a bad breath, they helped the Yellow Ribbons of the Internal Affairs Department to sabotage my railway, which is really hateful. ”

Yang Du sighed: "The people of this Cao Gang may not be opposed because of the real harm of the railway, but as soon as the Jinpu Railway is built, the Cao Gang of the world will suffer, and the Yangzhou Cao Gang is the helmsman of the Cao Gang of the world, so this Long Peifu is a bird." In fact, this Long Peifu is also a genius, with the identity of a reckless man on the rivers and lakes, he brought the Yangzhou Cao Gang back to life, and even became the helmsman of the Cao Gang in the world. It must be known that when the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom went north, the Cao Gang who helped the imperial court shipping was almost killed all over the way, especially the Taiping general Li Kaifang especially hated the Cao Gang, and the Suzhou Cao Gang, Changzhou Cao Gang, Zhenjiang Cao Gang, and Jiangning Cao Gang were killed by him cleanly. Long Peifu's grandfather died at the hands of the Taiping Army, and during the thirty years when his father was the helmsman, the Cao Gang of the world reunited, and after Long Peifu was the leader, he could actually influence the imperial court to destroy Yuan Gong's railway proposal, which shows that this person's energy is extraordinary. ”

Yuan Shikai sneered; "As the so-called Xiucai met the soldiers, it is unreasonable to say, this Wang Yongtai is reckless, but he directly destroyed the Cao Gang, and he didn't even leave them half a minute. Then he said: "Send a message to the people of the Fifth Town, saying that Wang Yongtai is kept, and I want to see what the yellow belts in this court plan." Yellow Ribbon ...... Hum! Those who mislead the country and the people! ”

"Yes, Yuan Gong." Yang Du said.

Yuan Shikai was a little tired, Yang Du and Yuan Keding hurriedly retired when they saw this, and the two left the fishing garden, Yuan Keding couldn't help but say on the way: "Brother Huizi, what does my father mean is that he supports Wang Yongtai or not, and even does not hesitate to offend the yellow belts?" ”

Yang Du shook his head and smiled: "It's not much support to say that there is much support, it is not appropriate for Yuan Gong to come forward in this matter, so he secretly saved his life at most, with Yuan Gong here, Wang Yongtai will not have much of a mistake, at most it is just that Ming Sheng secretly lost his military position." ”

Yuan Keding shook his head and said to himself: "Wang Yongtai is really lucky, my father helped him so much, I hope he can repay my father well in the future." ”

Yang Du suggested: "Eldest son, Wang Yongtai will be of great use in the future, it is better for you to win over this person." ”

"Brother Wanzi is optimistic about this Wang Yongtai?" Yuan Keding asked.

Yang Du said: "Because he has a little fox-like younger brother, Wang Yongan." ”

Thinking of Wang Yongan, Yuan Keding couldn't help but say: "This kid is really a little fox who doesn't keep his hands, he deceived my daughter of the Yuan family, my father has agreed to the marriage of the Wang family, let me prepare carefully these days, and ask Brother Hui Zi to help me." ”

Yang Du smiled: "Congratulations to the eldest prince, Yuan Gong is giving you a chance to win people's hearts." ”

"Oh?" Yuan Keding suddenly realized, and said happily: "I said why did my father ask me to organize my sister's wedding, and there is this reason for co-authoring." ”

Yang Du said with a smile: "The second son, Kewen, willfully went to Shanghai and refused to go home; The third son, Keliang, wanders around all day long, and he is not angry; The mother of the fourth son, Keheng, was from a humble background and should not inherit the unification; The fifth prince Kequan has always regarded himself as a literati, obsessed with Confucianism and antiques, and never cared about politics and family affairs, so no matter from his background, personal cultivation, and political ambitions, only the eldest prince can inherit everything from the Yuan family in the future. Then he whispered: "Reveal a message to the eldest prince, a few days ago, the German minister conveyed an invitation to Yuan Gong, saying that he asked Yuan Gong to send a representative to Germany, first, to discuss Sino-German business cooperation, and second, to invite people to Germany to learn advanced experience." ”

Yuan Keding said strangely: "The Germans don't know that my father lives in the countryside now? ”

Yang Du smiled: "Naturally, they don't know, they still think that Yuan Gong is the governor of Zhili." ”

"Hahaha...... These German hairs are really confused. Yuan Keding laughed and said, and then added: "If you go to Germany to show your face, you must want me to go, and you must not let others compete for the lead." ”

Yang Du smiled and said: "Naturally, it is the eldest prince who can represent Yuan Gong, and others are indeed not successful." The two immediately burst out laughing, and they reached an agreement in private, secretly forming an alliance.
