The Guang'an Uprising greatly shook the Manchu rule in Sichuan.

Although the uprising failed, it left the Manchu officials in Sichuan in a state of panic. And what followed was a frenzied encirclement and suppression and the pursuit of the escaped insurgents.

Xiong Kewu and Wang Songting, the organizers and leaders of the uprising, quickly became the most wanted elements.

Since Xiong Kewu and Wang Songting were both from Leshan, the atmosphere in the Leshan area instantly became tense, and a large number of secret agents also began to frequently move in Leshan and its surrounding areas.

The atmosphere in Rong County also became tense, and from the third day when Wang Hengyue gave the order, there were constantly men with strange expressions.

"It's all spies." Xie Shui pursed his lips contemptuously.

Pete was a little curious: "This is the king's territory, can these spies also be so egg-free activities?" ”

The four words "don't want eggs" made Xie Shuixiang stunned, and it took a long time to react to the words "unscrupulous", and immediately smiled: "Pete, you have to learn this Chinese dialect hard." These agents had great powers, and they could report to the governor or even the imperial court at any time. We adults are just a little helper. ”

Pete shrugged, still not quite understood. The king is the supreme military commander in this place, so why is his power not as good as that of these spies?

"Stop!"

Xie Shuixiang, who was talking, suddenly stopped a merchant.

This merchant was twenty-four or five-year-old, with a thin face, a top hat, and a suitcase in his hand, and was polite: "Sir, what's the matter?" ”

Xie Shuixiang turned back and forth around him twice: "Where did you come from, where are you going?" ”

"From Chengdu, go to Leshan." The merchant is quiet.

"Chengdu? Going to Leshan? Something isn't going in the right direction, is it? Xie Shui said with a smile.

The merchant's face changed slightly, and a hand quietly stretched out to his waist.

"Don't move, it's all my people here, I'll kill you if you move!" Xie Shuixiang's words made the merchant involuntarily stop moving.

Xie Shuixiang's hand reached out to his waist, and he quickly took out a pistol, put it in his hand, and put it away: "Do business well, what are you doing with a gun?" ”

The merchant was not panicked at all: "Recently, I have been in trouble with the party, and the road is not very smooth, so I have a gun to defend myself." ”

"Messy party?" Xie Shuixiang smiled coldly: "I think you are the chaotic party, right?" ”

At this time, the two secret conversations who were drinking tea in the tea shed not far away seemed to have noticed that something was wrong here, and walked here one after the other.

"Stop, what are you doing?" Walking up to him, the taller whisperer asked with squinted eyes.

The merchant took off his top hat: "I told this chief just now that I came from Chengdu to do business." ”

"Doing business? Lao Tzu looks at you like a revolutionary party! The spy cried out: "Take it away!" ”

"Wait!" Xie Shuixiang suddenly said: "My family has an order, and if there are any suspicious people, they will all be taken to the barracks for careful investigation, and they will not work hard." ”

"Your help?" The secret agent didn't pay attention to it at all: "We are Zhao Duxian's people, and all suspected elements of the chaotic party must be investigated by us personally!" ”

"This is Rong County, not Chengdu!" Xie Shuixiang smiled coldly.

The agent was furious and was about to have a seizure, when Pete suddenly walked over and grabbed the agent by the collar: "You accompany my shoes!" ”

Seeing that it was actually a foreigner, the secret agent was startled, and hurriedly smiled and said, "Lord Yang, why did I break your shoes?" ”

"Just now, you stepped on me!" Pete suddenly became arrogant and unreasonable: "Mine some, brought by the United States, are very expensive, it costs a hundred taels of silver, lose money, otherwise I will arrest you to the governor's enemy!" ”

The agent's face turned pale in an instant. A pair of shoes costs a hundred taels of silver? The person in front of him is a foreign adult, not to mention his little self, even the governor can't afford to offend!

Pete yelled and screamed, forcing the two spies to lose money, and the soldiers on the side gradually surrounded them and surrounded the two spies in the middle.

It's easy to make a fuss again, and begging for mercy, so he took out all the money on his body and gave it to Pete, and the "foreign adult" let them go.

can scold the soldiers for separating, but find that the "suspected rebel" has long disappeared

"Merchant?" Wang Hengyue looked at the merchant standing in front of him for a long time, then took the gun handed by Xie Shuixiang and put it in his hand: "This gun." I heard that this time the revolutionary party brought back 30 pistols from Yueben to stage the Guang'an riot, is this one of them? ”

The merchant didn't say a word, and stood there calmly.

Wang Hengyue put the gun aside and smiled slightly: "Xiong Kewu!" You're Xiong Kewu, right? ”

Seeing that he could no longer hide it, the merchant also smiled: "It is Xiong Kewu in the next place, I have heard that there is a team official named Wang Hengyue in Rong County, not an ordinary person, now Xiong Kewu is here, Wang Hengyue, you can pull me to invite merit and reward!" ”

Wang Hengyue smiled "haha" and waved his hand to let Xie Shui go out to a few people: "Xiong Kewu, you have organized riots again and again, but you have failed every time, have you ever thought about why?" ”

Xiong Kewu didn't expect that the person in front of him would ask such a thing, and he was stunned: "I, a revolutionary, have long put life and death aside, even if I throw my head and spill my blood!" Failed this time, come back next time! As long as there is one person left in our revolutionary party, the uprising will never stop! ”

"Your uprising will either be betrayed by traitors today or informed tomorrow." Wang Hengyue's tone was flat and calm: "It's not good to say, it's unorganized, and the random surname is too strong." With those gang members, can you really achieve your goals? ”

Xiong Kewu didn't understand the meaning of his words even more.

originally thought that if he was caught this time, he would definitely die, and he was ready to take justice calmly, but he didn't expect this Wang team official to talk to him about why the uprising failed.

"Sit down." Wang Hengyue pointed to the side.

Xiong Kewu hesitated, but sat down, and Wang Hengyue said: "I won't kill you, and I won't send you to the government, and you won't go back to Leshan, Leshan is heavily guarded, but you don't always have such good luck." ”

"What?" Xiong Kewu almost suspected that he had misheard: "You don't kill me and don't arrest me?" ”

"What am I going to arrest you for?" Wang Hengyue smiled indifferently: "You didn't rebel against me, and you didn't rebel against me, and you didn't rebel against me." Although I do not approve of the actions of your revolutionary party, I still admire what you have done. This gang brought you this time, and it was for this reason that I let you go. ”

Xiong Kewu was stunned for a long time, then suddenly stood up and said loudly: "Xiong Kewu thank you Wang Gang for saving your life, Xiong Kewu has a reluctant request!" ”
