Zhao Guanhou's face was unhappy or angry, and he nodded, "Of course I welcome the matter of sending money, but I don't know what I can do for him." Although I'm helping, I'm just a dry pot guy, and I'm afraid it's hard for me to interfere in the things on the dock, at most I can help talk about people's feelings. ”

"No, you misunderstood, this is a matter in the barracks, and it has nothing to do with the docks." The firehead was a little nervous, and hesitated for a long time before saying, "The villain has a friend, who is from the mountains and has opened a mine privately. In these years, everyone's life is not easy, and he has to find some money for himself, right? You also know that gunpowder is inseparable from the opening of the mountain, but the power of the medicine outside is small and cannot be blown up. Foreign medicine is powerful, a bucket can top four or five buckets of our own medicine,

The imperial court has strict management of foreign gunpowder, and it is too difficult to get a little. I heard that you came out with a small barrel of foreign gunpowder this time for your trial production of fried eggs, and I wondered, can you even out some of them? My friend has a lot of money, as long as you are willing to help with this, he is willing to take out thirty taels and let the second master keep it for reward. ”

Gift-giving is called a reward, which is the word of the capital, and it has become a common practice to say "reward" to all the relatives and nobles. Zhao Guanhou took a few puffs of his cigarette, but did not answer the words, but asked rhetorically: "How much do you smoke in it?" ”

"No, it's my friend's business, the two of us are a lifelong friendship, how can I pump? You are pure with this money, and the villain has nothing to lose. ”

"And how much gunpowder does he want? My bucket is just a small keg, and there are not too many of them. Besides, there will be an account to be paid in the future. ”

Seeing that his words were loose, Liu Sibao was very happy, and made an idea for him, "It's nothing, this barrel of foreign gunpowder is enough for fifteen catties." If you give him five pounds, he will be satisfied. As for consumption, you say that the test failed, and if you blow up a few more, there will be nowhere to check it. Besides, Superintendent Ji is an old winter, and his writing is very good, and he is sloppy in his work. If he really asked him to check the consumption of gunpowder, he wouldn't be able to figure it out. ”

"How do I take the gunpowder out? I'm not right with Pang Yulou, you know, God knows when he will check my post at the gatehouse, and he turned over to gunpowder, do you want my head? ”

"Don't worry, as long as you prepare this medicine, as for taking it out of the school, it is a small mission from me, even if there is any leakage, it will not fall on your head."

"Is that so? Then I'll blow up a few fried eggs tomorrow, and then I'll give you gunpowder when you bring your meal in the evening. By the way, I have a guy outside, no matter what, I can't hide this from him, say a word to your friend, add twenty taels, it's to buy him a strict mouth. ”

In the Zizhulin concession on the other side of the Wubei Academy, not far from the river, there is a very small hotel, the specifications here are not high, the boss is not very kind, and there are naturally few guests. In the past few days, it is said that a group of southern customers have come to the store, and even foreign guests are not accepted.

The next day, during the day, two greengrocers entered the hotel, and the proprietor looked at them, did not stop them, let them go inside, and knocked on the door of the upper room.

In the room, three young men are pushing pai gow together. Seeing the two vegetable vendors coming in, these people all stood up, one went to close the door, and the other asked in a stiff official dialect, "How is the situation?" ”

Sibao said that this morning, a few fried eggs were fried in the school, saying that the experiment failed. Even a few foreign teachers were alarmed, and they were afraid that Zhao Guanhou would be injured. The result can be imagined, how could he hurt himself with less medicine, and the matter of these five catties of gunpowder is almost eyebrow-raising. ”

A man snorted, "Temporary price increase, such a greedy person, it's good to blow him up." This time, we will go out together, if we let that way succeed, we will be suppressed by his two strong societies. ”

Although what he said was official, the southern accent was still very heavy, and his emotions were also a little excited: "If it weren't for He Fengsan, they had a problem, and the gunpowder was thrown into the water, we wouldn't have to be so embarrassed, and we wouldn't even be able to get a weapon." Now the silver taels are not spared, and he still has to sit on the ground and raise the price......"

The other person advised, "Okay, now that it's like this, what's the use of losing your temper?" Tianjin is not as good as Guangdong, even if you want to buy a foreign gun, you can't buy it, so you have to use fried eggs. Fortunately, we have learned how to make fried eggs in Fusang, as long as we can blow up that demon woman and return to Your Majesty, there will be hope for my China. ”

The man who lost his temper also calmed down a little, sat down, but didn't look at the cards, "I also know that if you solve the old demon woman, there will be hope for the recovery of China." However, the strong society of the two lakes has more roots here, and Bi Yongnian has traveled extensively, and he heard that he has a friendship with a group of strongmen near Jinmen, and he may even get foreign guns. What about us, but we were chased by the red-headed Ah San and even ran out of gunpowder, in case this credit was made by them, will we still have a place to stand in the future? I was born here in both people and land, I can't even raise money, and I'm sitting in a troubled city, why am I not in a hurry? ”

"So the first thing that matters now is to get gunpowder. As long as we make fried eggs, we have hope. Five pounds of gunpowder, I think it's almost enough. We can poison the pieces of iron, so that the power will be greater. ”

A vegetable vendor looked left and right, and suddenly asked, "What about Guodong?" Among us, he is the best in kung fu, and where did he go? ”

He also said that as soon as he arrived at Jinmen, he was hooked by some women and ran over in broad daylight. He is a child of a rich family, he still has a few dollars on him, and he likes to eat foreign cigarettes, and now he is either in Jiyuan or in a tobacco house. Otherwise, it's coming

Go to the gambling house to raise money. Hum! Raise funds, don't put yourself in, don't worry about him, we do things. ”

The silver had been given to Liu Sibao, they knew that this person was also their comrade, and they wanted that things would not go wrong, and when it was getting late, Liu Sibao ran in from outside, and then carefully unwrapped the package behind him.

A young man looked outside, then closed the door and asked, "How is it, have they noticed it?" ”

"Don't worry, I know the officers and soldiers guarding the gate very well, and I gave them some benefits, and they let me out. I only said that I came out to find women, and they were not suspicious, and before that, I often came out like this, and they were used to it. A few people take a look, it's good that there is no problem with gunpowder. ”

The leader of several people, but the shopkeeper of this small hotel, took Liu Sibao's hand and thanked him again and again, but Liu Sibao was a little embarrassed.

"Don't thank me, I'm a rough person, I don't understand anything. Or the former, when Sage Kang came to teach, I went in to listen to it, and I realized that there are so many truths in the world. From that day on, as long as it was said by a saint, I would definitely listen to it, go to the soup and go to the fire, and never give up. Let's do big things first, and then we can clean up a villain when we turn around, killing two birds with one stone. ”

The person in charge of checking the gunpowder carefully weighed the gunpowder, about four catties, and couldn't help but scold Zhao Guanhou again. But now, even if it is about four catties, it can only be recognized. Besides, after this thing is done, the person surnamed Zhao will definitely be thrown out of the blame, and he will die left and right, and it will not be bad for this catty. Liu Sibao didn't dare to stay here longer, so he left after completing the handover.

But just a few steps after he walked out of the hotel, two big men staggered over and bumped into him. Before he could attack, two short guns were already pressed against his head. Then the police post went on, and dozens of red-headed Ah San surrounded the small hotel, and a moment later, gunfire rang out.

"This group of red-headed Ah San is too useless, dozens of people deal with a few people, and they actually let one escape, it can be seen that this Tianzhu people just don't know how to fight." In order to celebrate Zhao Guanhou's achievements, the four foreign teachers specially invited Zhao Guanhou to the dormitory, saying that they wanted to congratulate him. After all, a case of conspiracy to assassinate Lafayette has been solved, and no matter what, it should be expressed.

He did this secretly, and did not report it to Shi Jiyun in advance, but took advantage of his knowledge of Prussian to tell the four teachers, and they relayed it to Bassens, and the last person to negotiate was the Yamen of the New Army. Since the incident occurred in the concession, the officials and defense battalions of Jinmen County could not arrest people, and after the foreigners got the note, they ordered those red-headed Ah San and Hua Tan to arrest them.

According to Zhao Guanhou's thoughts, with more fights and fewer fights, and they all carried guns, how could they leave everyone behind, but they didn't expect that there was still a person who was injured and fled, and his whereabouts are unknown. A number of dangerous items were found below, including maps and weapons. Based on the comprehensive judgment of intelligence, it can already be concluded that their target is the supreme power of the current Dajin Empire, the Empress Dowager Cixi.

This kind of matter is very important, it is already a big case, and it must be regarded as a very humiliating thing for a person to run away to commit a crime. Albiang was also very faceless, so he had to apologize to Yuan Weiting, and was willing to assist Dajin to start a search for the concession and arrest possible rebellious elements.

Now is not the time when the Old Summer Palace was burned, Daikin has a general office for national affairs, and also has a group of people who do foreign affairs. Protesting this kind of thing, in addition to these powers, the officials of the Dajin Dynasty also learned to protest, if it is not handled well, even the consul general will be passive this time. In this sense, it is a rare time for Jin Guo to raise his eyebrows in foreign affairs.

For this kind of overstepping the report, it was originally a taboo in officialdom, but this time, Shi Jiyun really couldn't find anything wrong. After all, Liu Sibao is a member of the Wubei Academy, and he is all in collusion with the chaotic party, who can Zhao Guanhou trust when he is a newcomer, or who can he dare to trust?

In fact, after this incident happened, Shi Jiyun had already petitioned for the crime, saying that he was not strictly restrained, and asked the court to punish him. Fortunately, there is still a Yin Wulou above him, if he is investigated, Yin Sheng will be the first to be bad. If King Qing wants to protect him, he can only protect Shi Jiyun together, and his top is no problem.

It's just that after this incident, he doesn't dare to trouble Zhao Guanhou at the moment, after all, this is the hero who raised the chaos of the party, who knows what reward the court will have in the future. If you move him now, you will be asking for hardship.

Listening to Zhao Guanhou's complaints, Qi Kaifen drank the champagne in the cup, "Guanhou, what you said is very correct, the Tianzhu soldiers are a group of monkeys, and they don't know how to use weapons to fight at all. The escape of the prisoners is also reasonable, not to mention, there may be someone in the middle. ”

"Inspector Hua of the Albion Concession, I think he is sympathetic to the rebels, or he himself is also very suspicious. The arrest operation he arranged was full of flaws, and it was better to find a way to release them than to arrest them. Schmidt slammed his glass on the table

"Although I don't know the origin of the chaotic party, I can imagine that among them must have the big figures of the court behind them, so they can find helpers in all aspects. Even in this school, it's not safe. Guanhou, you'd better be careful to prevent someone from plotting. ”

"Thank you. I don't think they're going to dare to do it. Now that this has happened, it has attracted a lot of people's attention, and if they attack me again, they really can't hide it. In my opinion, the most they could do was scold me behind my back, but they didn't dare to do harm. If I have something to do, Yuan Daotai can justifiably change the teaching here, and those people should be able to understand this truth. ”

Zhao Guanhou didn't have any psychological burden for whistleblowing, and he couldn't be sure whether the purchase of gunpowder this time was really such a business, or whether Pang Yulou was framed again. Moreover, no matter who those chaotic parties want to attack, they are not their allies after all, so why should they protect him.

Liu Sibao's living mouth has been handed over to the Detective Bureau, but it is said that his mouth is very hard, although the Detective Bureau used torture, but he refused to let go, and finally died in prison inexplicably. Whoever completed the extinguishment is never found. In short, Jin Guo's current situation is very chaotic, and the management of serious criminals is also uneasy.

It's just the preliminary information obtained, and it can already be determined that it is a big case, if it weren't for Zhao Guanhou's meritorious report, even if these people can't buy gunpowder, they may do other shocking things. The arrangement of how to reward the merit has not yet come down, but thinking about it, it will not be too bad. With this relationship, no one even mentioned the matter of making fried eggs for the time being. If such a great hero has been blown up when the reward is down, it is something that no one can explain.

Schmidt said: "There are a number of places in the school to study in Fusang and study military affairs, and everyone is grabbing them. If you want to go, I will intercede for you in front of Lord Basens. In fact, you don't need me, you just need Ms. Sai Jinhua. You must know that the current Lord Basens dresses up like an old squire every weekend, and he has said before that he has been accompanied by military uniforms all his life. ”

"This is the ...... I may really need some help, tell Lord Basens, don't let me go to Fuso. I don't have much thought about going to school there, if I want to study military affairs, it's enough to learn from you. I still have family here, and I can't take it with me to study abroad, so I'll be gone for a few years. If you really want me to go to Fuso, I'd rather just run away. ”

Schmidt and others were a little dumbfounded, the imperial court now attaches great importance to military affairs, and goes to Fusang to study, and it will be reused after returning to China, which is beyond doubt. With this resume, there will be preferential treatment for promotion in the future, similar to the release of Hanlin in civil officials. Everyone broke their heads, looking for various relationships and wanting a place, but they didn't expect that there were people who had to run away in order not to have a place.

Qi Kaifen shook his head, "What a strange Jin countryman, he would give up his future for the sake of his wife, okay, I respect your personal decision, let's have a drink." ”

Two days later, Su Hanzhi came over and brought a lot of food to Zhao Guanhou. She already knew that Zhao Guanhou was about to participate in the field training, and she had to walk for a few days, afraid that he would starve on the road, so she specially sent some of her own braised meat. At the same time, Zhao Guanhou also handed over to her some of the manuscripts of the Rogue Luo Ping that he had written, so that he could deal with Yuno Song.

He is now a hero, and he has the support of the four sects behind him, and when he left the school, he talked to Su Hanzhi for a while, but no one could say anything. On the battlement, Pang Yulou used a clairvoyant mirror to take in the appearance of the two holding hands, and he couldn't help but feel a burst of anger in his heart.

Every time the two get close, it is equivalent to a slap in the face of the Pang family, and he can't forget this kind of hatred. He quietly walked down the wall, and returned to his room, where a man was already waiting in the corner, and he commanded in a cold voice:

"This time, you didn't do it well, and I lost an opportunity. Next, remember to make up for it, if you don't do it well enough, not only will you not be able to go to Fusang, but you won't even be able to stay in the school, understand? According to my intentions, I don't want to see him come back alive this time! ”
