Chapter 16: What I See (3)
Hearing Yang Du say this, the faces of the county commander and the two officials showed a look of fear. The www.biquge.info magistrate swallowed hard, looking left and right in a panic, as if some monster was hiding in the corner.
Yang Du saw it and said with a smile: "You guys are pale, but what is unspeakable?" Don't worry, even if you tell me, I will definitely report it to the court completely. ”
Report to the imperial court? The county commander's face became even more bitter, he secretly glanced at the non-commissioned officer who was following Yang Du, and hurriedly distinguished: "No, no, this Handan is the royal paradise of the world, where can there be anything unspeakable." ”
"Haha," Yang Du said: "It was just a joke just now, a joke, please don't take it to heart." Well, we won't bother you if you guys continue to play. ”
As soon as he got out, he heard the sound of bangs, and then saw the crowd rising towards a sand field outside the city. Yang Du felt a little strange, although there was no snow now, the snow on the ground was already a few feet deep. In this case, the common people are still crowding to go, is it holding a temple fair?
"No," the non-commissioned officer who followed said, "Today is not the day to visit the temple fair, everyone is here to see the head killed." ”
"Kill the head?" Yang Du subconsciously looked at the sky, and then at the snow on the roof. Well, it's winter, not the day after autumn. But I think it must be the Black Dragon Guild that keeps this kind of conventional rules in mind, or maybe it doesn't know that there is such a thing.
"Who killed the head?" Yang Du asked, "Why do everyone have to run over to see?" ”
"Probably all robbers, corrupt officials and the like." The non-commissioned officer said so.
Hey? Do robbers exist alongside corrupt officials? Or is it that on the side of the Black Dragon Society, the treatment of corrupt officials has been reduced to the same level as robbers? This........ It's really humiliating. However, I don't know why, Yang Du felt a burst of happiness in his heart. He is a native of Hunan, has an inexplicable relationship with the Hunan army, and studied under Wang Minyun, so he was put into another book by the imperial court, which made his idea of advancing in his career a dream. For a long time, he despised and envied those officials who embarked on the road of eunuchs through the imperial examination. His mood is somewhat similar to that of Zuo Zongtang, the boss of the Hunan Army, when he was a staff member.
He pondered for a moment, still not wanting to see the bloody scene. However, this little episode made him know why those people were so scared just now, who would not be afraid of this practice of killing without the order of the imperial court?
The so-called dragon slaying technique does not mean that it is really a method of killing dragons, nor is it the original meaning of Zhuangzi, but something similar to a mixture of rebellion and power. Those who have always practiced this kind of thing are counting on the chaos in the world. As the successor of Wang Minyun and the last practitioner of dragon slaying techniques, Yang Du undoubtedly also has this tendency. His ideal is to take advantage of the chaos in the world to assist a Ming monarch to level the troubled times and recreate peace.
Since he has such an ideal, then he will inevitably dabble in the study of criminal names. In his heart, if he wants to seize the world, he must be severely punished and punished, and he must be punished in troubled times. The Black Dragon Society's decisive behavior of killing is very much to his appetite. On the other hand, Yuan Shikai, the head of the Beiyang Army, has not done enough in this regard. It is true that when he was in Shandong, Yuan Shikai killed the boxers with a rolling head and a river of blood. However, for local officials and powerful people in various places, Yuan Shikai still adopted the method of co-opting and luring others, rather than killing the last batch of them.
No matter what Yuan Shikai's reason was, his laissez-faire approach to his subordinates to make a lot of money made Yang Du begin to be disappointed in him. Therefore, after having such an opportunity to make an envoy, Yang Du took over the job. Everything he saw now made him have a loud impression of the Black Dragon Society, thinking that it was a new force that could compete with Yuan Shikai's Beiyang Army.
Even, Yang Du also believes that in some aspects, the Black Dragon will be more worth betting on than the Beiyang Army. At the very least, when the Beiyang Army is watching the success or failure, the Black Dragon will roll up his sleeves and go on the field to fight with the foreigners. Even if the Black Dragon Society finally had to withdraw from Beijing City, but the previous record of capturing tens of thousands of foreign devils made the princes of the world look sideways. After hearing about the earth-shattering reversal under the city of Beijing, he drank several glasses of wine in a row and shouted: "Heaven will not destroy my China!" ”
However, for some reason, he came with a heart of service, but he was not received by a person of weight. As for the Black Dragon King himself, he hadn't even seen it.
It's hateful, Yang Du sighed in his belly: I would have turned my heart to the bright moon, but what about it, why the bright moon shines on the ditch.
Not to mention that Yang Du was wandering around around Handan, and not to mention how the people of Handan were elated to see the killing, Chen Chengzheng pulled Lin Mengchu out to see his results.
"This is the plane you assembled?" Lin Mengchu poked his fingers around the varnished fuselage, poking out the potholes of the originally smooth fuselage.
"Hey, hey, hey," Chen Cheng said distressedly, "Don't be like this, okay?" I've worked very hard to build this plane, and if you poke it a few more times, the plane will fall apart! ”
"Ah," the girl looked back, "but who made it of wood, so it's so unsturdy." ”
"This.......... It's obviously your strength is too strong, okay............."
"What did you say?"
"Hah, I mean, I'm going to fly this plane right now!"
"Fly the plane, then I'll go up too!" The girl jumped into the cockpit behind without saying a word, and then shouted: "Ah Cheng, come up quickly, let's fly to the sky!" ”
"Good Ratcha!" Chen Cheng is also very happy, this is the world's first practical aircraft, although the engine was bought from another world, although the shape of the fuselage is also plagiarized, no matter what, this is a thing worth celebrating. We in China finally have our own planes, and as for the issue of plagiarism and outsourcing, it is all trivial, and there is no need to think about it so much.
The plane was a common biplane in World War I, with a propeller in front of it. Chen Cheng ignited the engine first, then jumped out and turned the propeller vigorously. Then he jumped into the cockpit again.
Why do I feel like a wild monkey jumping around? Chen Cheng secretly wondered in his heart.
"Because people are transformed from monkeys!" The girl comforted him, "Besides, you are still a beautiful monkey!" ”
Ahh And............. I'm not a monkey!
