"Tempting what?" Wang Jinjia's mouth trembled a little, and there was a look of surprise in his clear eyes. 【Reading.com】

"Although your father and I know a lot of things about him, but those things happened under my nose, and I can't hide much from them, so I can see clearly that in the middle of last year, I sent our old servant Niu Bo to Annan and mixed in with the homeless people.

In the territory of the Kingdom of Annam, there are Han people everywhere, and the sound of Lang Lang is Chinese, all of which are in Chinese, and Niu Bo also inquired that in the mountainous areas of northern Annam, several large workshops have been opened, and one workshop has tens of thousands, or even tens of thousands of employees, do you know whose industry it is? It is a joint stock industry of several giants of the Liang family and the thirteen lines. ”

"The people of Annan, now they don't know that there is a king of Annan, they only know a head of Liang, you say, who else can there be in this big man surnamed Liang? Who else could it be? Wang Shouli's voice was extremely dry, and he himself couldn't believe it, when did Liang Pengfei's hidden power become so huge?

Later, he secretly sent his henchmen to Hong Kong Island, but this time, he was blocked back, and he couldn't find out anything, no, according to the confidant who came back, those soldiers had flintlock pistols in the water, and one or two knew at a glance that they were the kind of elite veterans, and they were definitely not comparable to the kind of green battalions and eight banners of the Great Qing Dynasty.

The more he knew, the more frightened Wang Shouli became, he originally wanted to make a fortune by relying on this kid's promotion, but now, he has such a big power hidden, but he hides it, and he doesn't even have the interest of going to Annan to be a king, and he is still developing and growing silently.

As a result, Wang Shouli expected that Liang Pengfei's plot was not small, and with his relationship with him, he naturally could not clear the suspicion, even if he abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, telling Changlin or Fuchang, not to mention what happened to him, just thinking about Liang Pengfei to know that the matter was exposed, and suddenly became difficult, he would not be able to escape death, and maybe his family would be affected.

Besides, he was not familiar with life in Guangdong, so he asked Liang Pengfei for a lot of slaves, and even some of them are now his confidants, I am afraid that if he just moved his thoughts, Liang Pengfei would have already sharpened his knives.

"Dad, if he rebels, it will be a great crime to punish the Nine Clans." Wang Jinjia's face was as pale as paper, interrupting Wang Shouli's contemplation. His voice trembled a little, although he was young and calm, he was still only a half-old young man after all. The things that were leaked tonight by Daddy were too shocking.

"Hugh is nonsense!" Wang Shouli glared at Wang Jinjia, and said in a deep voice: "Such words, even if they are rotten in the stomach, must not be exported, otherwise, you are equivalent to giving our Wang family's net worth and life to other people's hands." Do you understand?! ”

"Yes, my son knows that he is wrong." Wang Jinjia couldn't help but hang his head and replied a little depressedly, but his somewhat sluggish expression showed that his brain was still in chaos.

"There are some things, you still don't know better, the less you know, the better it is for yourself, remember, watch more, do more, talk less, Dad doesn't expect you to be able to stand alone, at least learn more skills under his hands, in case ...... Alas, when the time comes, if there is anything to do, come to discuss it with your father, anyway, there will be a road before the car reaches the mountain. After Wang Shouli finished speaking, he closed his eyes tiredly and waved his hand, Wang Jinjia glanced at his father, quietly withdrew from the room, and closed the door.

The cold air outside the house made him realize that most of his clothes had been wet with cold sweat on his body.

"Brother Zicai, why did you call me here in a hurry? Don't you know I'm still in class? Zhao Yi walked into the office and said with a dissatisfied expression. I don't know which tendon is wrong with Yuan Mei, early in the morning, I don't care about the clouds in the sky, seeing that the first heavy rain after the beginning of spring is coming, I rushed to Baiyun Mountain Academy, and after I came, I only said that it was an urgent matter, so that the teachers in the academy invited me over.

put down the lesson plans in his hand, stretched out his hand to wash the white ash on his hands, and saw that Yuan Mei's face was even more ugly than his own, and he couldn't help but be stunned: "Brother Zicai, what's the matter?" ”

"This, look at it......" Yuan Mei only threw a newspaper out of his wide sleeve at this time. Yangcheng Evening News? This ......" Zhao Yi couldn't help but be stunned when he saw the title of the newspaper clearly. "What's wrong with this newspaper?"

Yangcheng Evening News, a newspaper under the nickname of Guangzhou, has a printing house and editorial office in Hong Kong. Naturally, in order to prevent being destroyed by the Qing court, the content of these newspapers paid more attention to the people's livelihood than the Nanyang and Luzon newspapers, especially the people's livelihood affairs and miscellaneous anecdotes in the two Guangzhous. And because of this, the officials of the two Guangxi provinces generally turned a blind eye to the circulation of this newspaper in the two Guangxi provinces, and the ban was not as strict as that of the Nanyang and Luzon newspapers.

Not to mention Liangguang, even if it is a scholar in Fujian, Zhejiang, Anhui and other places, and even as far away as Shandong, they can also buy this newspaper from the hands of those vendors, but the news published in this newspaper today made Yuan Mei really unable to sit still, and went directly to Baiyun Mountain to find his best friend Zhao Yi.

"You'll find out just by looking at the content." Yuan Mei sat back in the chair, closed his eyes and lowered his eyebrows, looking like he didn't want to deal with people, Zhao Yi picked up the newspaper from the table and opened it to take a look, only to notice the shocking headline on it: "One hundred and fifty years later, the shocking tragedy will be repeated, and the Manchu Eight Banners will mention the butcher's knife again!" ”

"Bazhou ......" Zhao Yi took a deep breath and sat down on the chair, holding the newspaper tightly in his hand.

"The old man had heard about the slaughter of Bazhou in Shuntianfu, but although there were rumors among the people, the government banned the matter, so that the old man did not know much about this matter, some said that he killed more than 10,000 people, and some said that he killed 20,000 or 30,000 people, mostly based on false rumors. Is it true or false? It was actually Bazhou that even the surrounding areas were affected, and more than 70,000 people were killed under the butcher's knife. That's more than 70,000 people, not brutes. Yuan Mei's hand slapped on the table, and his face was extremely pale.

"That's right, the exact number should be 77,837 people, and if you add the people who rebelled and died fighting the court after that, it should be more than 113,700 people." Zhao Yi gently placed the newspaper on the table and said in a deep voice. "If it weren't for a fleet to take the rebel army of the people overseas, I'm afraid that this number would almost double, you know, the court gave a death order at that time, all those who rebelled will be punished!"

"How do you know so well?" Yuan Mei couldn't help but raise his head, stared at Zhao Yi with his eyes, and asked in a low voice.

"Because I am the editor-in-chief of this Yangcheng Evening News, because I got these things from the mouths of those Bazhou rebels who fled overseas." Zhao Yi looked at Yuan Mei, and a hint of an astringent smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "This newspaper, before it was printed, was drafted by our school, so it ......"

"What?!" Yuan Mei's body lifted away from the chair and slowly fell back into the chair, his face full of disbelief and shock.

"I did this not for anything else, just so that the people of the world could see the face of the court clearly. Hehe, Brother Zicai, do you think that the younger brother is spreading rumors? Zhao Yi turned his face to look at Yuan Mei and smiled.

“…… Could it be that it was General Liang who picked up those people? ! Although he still didn't believe that Liang Pengfei had such an ability, and he didn't quite believe that Liang Pengfei, a court official, would do this, he still said the name of the person he deduced and the most likely surname.

"I didn't say that it was General Liang, it was a group of pirates, and the leader was a pirate named Shi Xianggu." Zhao Yi played with a spear and carefully looked at the change in Yuan Mei's expression.

"Pirates? Joke! What pirate is so daring? What pirate has the ability to fish out nearly 100,000 people from under the noses of the court? If there really be such pirates, can the court still sit firmly? ......" Yuan Mei said at the end, seeing Zhao Yi's face that didn't even jump eyelids, his voice became lower and lower, his expression became more and more shocked, and finally the room was silent.

A teacher from the academy walked outside the door, and after bringing the tea to the two of them, he lightly glanced at Yuan Mei, who was sitting dumbfounded, and then quietly turned around and walked out of the room under the gesture of Zhao Yi's eyes.

"Alas...... It seems that the old man did not guess wrong. Yun Song, Yun Song, you can hurt Yuan. Yuan Mei shook his head again and again and smiled bitterly.

Zhao Yi sneered again and again: "Why, Brother Mo Feizi thinks that the hundreds of thousands of people in the Eight Banners Slaughter Prefecture should be?" Or should the 70,000 or 80,000 angry people rest assured that the officers and soldiers should slaughter them all, instead of fleeing to the sea? ”

"You know I didn't mean that!" Yuan Mei said with some annoyance: "Tens of thousands of Li lives are in misery, do you think I feel good?" If the court is dedicated to the community of Li Min, why should Yuan Mei place his affection between the mountains and rivers, play the world, and be intoxicated with poetry and songs for decades? ”

"It seems that there is no shortage of spineless literati in the world." Zhao Yi stroked his head. "The younger brother is not boasting, but he has seen all the cold and cold of this situation, so he is no longer an official, and he takes learning as a pleasure."

"Brother Yun Songxian, then why did you collude with those thieves, you know, this is a big crime of the Nine Clans!" Yuan Mei's face was a little pale, and he stomped his feet again and again.

Syllable! With a crisp sound, Zhao Yi's hand slapped on the desk, startling Yuan Mei, and Zhao Yi stood up with his head held high, and said in general: "The great crime of the Nine Clans?!" Hmph, what should be the crime of those Eight Banners who indiscriminately killed innocent people in Bazhou, what should be the crime of those who careless of human life, and what should be the crime of those officials who treat the laws of the Qing Dynasty as child's play and ignore the king's law? What crime should the emperor who connived at corruption and lawlessness, shielded the people who slaughtered the city, but still enjoyed the people's anointing, what crime should the emperor be guilty of? ! ”
