Chapter 2 The Gold Watch of the Swiss State

On the way back to Chengdu with Qin Guangcheng, Wang Hengyue set up again and again, and then he figured out that it was now the thirty-fourth year of Guangxu in the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

Thirty-four years of Guangxu? That was 1908! Wang Hengyue thought about it, Guangxu and Cixi were about to die. The Manchus were about to be overthrown.

Three years to go! Thinking that three years later, once the Manchu Qing Dynasty was overthrown, it would usher in the most brilliant and colorful era in Chinese history, Wang Hengyue couldn't help but feel excited.

In this period of history, any little person can be on the big stage of history, but what about himself? Wang Hengyue suddenly thought.

Coming from another era, what can I do in this era? Can you leave your name in this era?

Thinking crankily all the way, what he said to Qin Guangcheng and himself was also absent-minded and perfunctory.

Seeing that he was about to arrive in Chengdu, Qin Guangcheng hesitated, asked Wang Hengyue to wait for a while, and left in a hurry.

Qin Guangcheng said with a smile: "Brother is not talented, I donated a four-grade alternate road, and I have a look when I go out, my family counts that I will come back in the past two days, and this cadre has been waiting at the city gate for two days." Brother called another sedan chair, please! ”

Let Wang Hengyue go to the second top, and go to the front one himself, and then ordered to go to Chengdu.

Qin Guangcheng donated the four-grade alternate road, and no one stopped him from entering the city gate, and the red and black hats in front of him were even more majestic, and the roaring squad at the front let go of their voices and shouted loudly:

"The pedestrian stops, and the speaker is silent; Take off the white cloth on the skull, and the offender will have forty boards, and he will never be lenient! ”

The roaring class has roared, and it is the one who carries the "avoidance", "royal reward four products", and "Qinci Hualing", and it is very majestic along the way.

There is not a single road in Chengdu, and the whole city is a stone road. The width of the street is only ten meters, the narrow alley is only two or three meters, and the most popular is the sedan chair. Those who walked and saw the sedan chair coming, they all avoided it one by one.

This is the first time Wang Hengyue has tasted sitting in a sedan chair, and after walking for a long time, the sedan chair stopped, the sedan curtain was lifted, and the errand shouted: "Master, please get off the sedan chair!" ”

After getting off the sedan chair, it was a magnificent courtyard in front of his eyes, Qin Guangcheng took Wang Hengyue's hand and walked towards the courtyard, men and women stood at the gate of the courtyard early, and when they saw Qin Guangcheng arrive, they shouted together:

"Congratulations on my safe return!"

Everyone snorted, and they all brushed it, which startled the defenseless Wang Hengyue.

"Let's go, brother, I'm home!" Qin Guangcheng was beaming, he didn't care about those people, and walked straight inside with Wang Hengyue.

The banquet had already been prepared, Wang Hengyue was invited to clean his hands, the two sat down opposite each other, Qin Guangcheng raised his glass, repeatedly thanked Wang Hengyue for saving his life, and toasted a few glasses.

Wang Hengyue said a few words of humility in his mouth and drank a few glasses. I thought in my heart that Qin Guangcheng was a rich man in Chengdu, and since he entered Chengdu, what he saw and heard seemed to be Qin Guangcheng's extraordinary style everywhere.

After chatting for a while, Qin Guangcheng put down the cup: "Brother, you and I hit it off at first sight, call you brother, and ask brother not to be surprised." If you don't dislike it, call me brother, and the foolish brother should treat you as a brother! ”

"Big brother, please!" Wang Hengyue is also a cheerful person, raised his glass and said.

Qin Guangcheng was overjoyed and drank all the wine in the cup: "Since my brother calls me brother, I, as an elder brother, naturally have to think about my brother everywhere." Brother, don't be too much to talk about being an older brother. I know that you revolutionaries are not afraid of death, but my brother is alone at the moment, even if you have great ambitions in Sichuan, how can you achieve great things alone? According to my brother's idea, why don't you settle down here for the time being, and then plan for a big plan? ”

In order to scare Lu Baogen away, Wang Hengyue lied to him that he was a revolutionary party, but in fact he had nothing to do with the revolutionary party, but he was afraid that the revolutionary party would know that there was a fake "comrade" in Sichuan and would make trouble for him. Now that Qin Guangcheng said so, it was in line with Wang Hengyue's intentions.

Pretending to be there for a long time, Wang Hengyue said: "What the eldest brother said is exactly what the brother is worried about. The overthrow of the Manchu Qing is the first priority of our revolutionaries, but my brother is now weak, and I also want to hide it for the time being, and wait for my comrades from all walks of life to arrive, and then it is not too late to act! ”

Qin Guangcheng was overjoyed when he heard this, patted his chest and said: "When my brother has a gold shop in Chengdu and a few properties elsewhere, what is my brother going to do, but I can open my mouth, my eldest brother is bankrupt, and I want to repay my brother for saving his life!" ”

On the way to Chengdu, Qin Guangcheng told Wang Hengyue everything about himself.

His family was originally a generation of businessmen, and it was passed on to Qin Guangcheng's generation, although he was not very rich, but he also had a lot of wealth and assets.

Qin Guangcheng is a jealous and hateful person, after beating a bandit Lu Baogen near Chengdu, Qin Guangcheng discussed with the government, paid out of his own pocket, took out a huge amount of money, and offered a reward for the arrest of Lu Baogen, which was the hatred with the giant bandit Lu Baogen in Jinyan Lake.

Wang Hengyue also knew that as long as he opened his mouth, Qin Guangcheng would give him how much money he wanted, but this would inevitably make the other party underestimate him.

After thinking for a while, Wang Hengyue opened his mouth and said: "Big brother, although my brother is poor, I still know what money should be taken and what money should not be taken. ”

"True righteous man!" Qin Guangcheng praised loudly: "It is said that you revolutionaries value righteousness over wealth, and when you see it today, your reputation is well deserved!" After saying that, he asked tentatively, "What does that brother mean?" ”

Wang Hengyue already had a plan in his heart: "Big brother may introduce me to a person who specializes in Western gadgets business?" ”

"Western-style stuff?" Qin Guangcheng was stunned: "When my brother knows a few in Chengdu, I don't know what my brother thinks."

Wang Hengyue took out the bag he was carrying: "Brother came back from overseas this time and brought a batch of this Swiss gold watch."

"A gold watch in Switzerland?" Qin Guangcheng was stunned again.

Wang Hengyue stiffened his head: "It is a Swiss gold watch." The Swiss country also has a lot of patriotic compatriots who sympathize with our revolutionaries, and this time we have returned to China for an event, and our patriotic compatriots have donated a batch of gold watches, entrusting my brothers to bring them back to China in exchange for funds to contribute to the overthrow of the Manchu Qing Dynasty! ”

When Wang Hengyue said this, he was really a little weak-hearted, and what he said was actually the batch of copycat watches in the bag.

In this era, if you don't have half a dime in your pocket, it's really hard to move an inch, and whether you can survive in this era depends on this batch of copycat gold watches!
