Chapter 128: Luring the Snake Out of the Hole

Yang Feng didn't expect that there were still people in this Fuzhou city who wanted to use the means of the Cannon Brother Party to deal with the Manchu minions against themselves, when the three students of Fuzhou Fuxue made bombs privately, because the craftsmanship was too trendy, they unfortunately exploded, and the three of them were blown up into scum on the spot.

As for the mastermind of this matter, it is not difficult to investigate, first of all, they are not using zha medicine, this thing is now controlled more strictly, and because of Yang Feng's arrival, the smuggling activities of those foreign businessmen are also relatively restrained, if they buy a few tons, it may be worth taking a risk, but if they buy a few catties, there will definitely be no one to serve.

So these people don't know where to find out the way, using nitric acid and sulfuric acid soaked cotton, it can be seen from some traces left at the scene, which can't help but make Boss Yang feel their courage, this is the ignorant people are not afraid, a group of green insects who don't know anything except Zi Shiyun actually dare to play nitrocellulose, this world is really crazy.

There are only foreigners who sell these two things in Fuzhou City, and there are few that sell them, and this is not a daily necessities, so send someone to find out where the source is, and then draw an image according to the description of the buyer's appearance, find a group of ruffians and hooligans to inquire a little, and the mastermind behind the scenes immediately surfaced.

"Fujian Xuezheng is interesting, I didn't expect this Lord Wang to really have the guts." Boss Yang looked at the investigation report with great interest, and it was the miscellaneous servants of the Xuezheng Yamen who bought nitric acid and sulfuric acid, and they bought it in two places wisely, so this also increased the chance of being discovered.

"My lord, the lower official will take someone to arrest him." Song Qing said viciously, as the de facto police chief of Fuzhou, he didn't know anything about this kind of assassination plot against Yang Feng under his rule, and his old face was a little unbearable.

"And then? Xuezheng is a third-grade official, even if he is caught, we have to hand it over to the Criminal Department for punishment according to the rules, even if it involves rebellion, he cannot be directly executed. Moreover, this alone does not prove that it was indeed his mastermind. Besides, although the official Xuezheng has little power, his influence is very great, and if he doesn't do it well, it will attract a lot of criticism. Yang Feng said lightly.

In fact, at this time, Li Hongzhang and Zhang Zhidong, who were good friends with him, had already written to persuade him to pay attention to the influence, after all, he hadn't openly rebelled, right? Especially when dealing with scholars, save some face, don't sweep Sven the floor, and push yourself to the opposite side of the whole country.

"Then we can't let him get away with it, can we? Otherwise, I will find a few brothers and touch his house in the middle of the night and kill him directly. Then he said to the outside world that he had encountered a thief and was unfortunately killed in a fight with a thief, and that it would be enough for you to mourn and send some funerals to his family. Song Qing said.

"No, no, it doesn't work to kill him, you have to wipe out all his men, since they want to rebel against us, they must be ready to cooperate with those rebels. In this case, it will be easy to do, first send a telegram to the Nanping garrison, and ask them to change into the clothes of the green worms and go south, and play the banner of Wang Chen. Then you let your men spread the news in the city that the Tsing Shirts had conquered Nanping and were approaching Fuzhou. Then let's find another foreign merchant and see if we can sell some weapons to Lord Wang or something. Yang Feng said with a cruel smile.

Song Qing couldn't help but shudder, this thing was really insidious, poor Lord Wang actually provoked such an enemy. It is simply looking for death, it is conceivable that if they really have to make trouble in Fuzhou City, then no one can say anything if Yang Feng kills them all.

However, the implementation of this plan is not easy. It's very simple to spread rumors, as soon as the Nanping garrison changes their vests and goes south, even if they don't have to deliberately spread the rumors, they will immediately fill the city, and for a while, it will make a lot of noise, and it will connect how the Tsing Shirt Army broke the Nanping defenders, how many captives were beheaded, and they were quickly made up by those idlers themselves, and those hidden loyal people were immediately ready to move.

However, how to give weapons to these loyal ministers and righteous men will take a lot of trouble, and Yang Feng decided to simply send them a one to abandon the darkness and surrender to the light.

"Lord Wang, you must save my brother this time! We have intersected in the past, you can't watch your brother being wiped out by the imperial court, and now there is still a loyal minister of the imperial court in this Fuzhou city. Chen Maochun, the acting governor of Fuzhou appointed by Yang Feng, fell at Wang Xifan's feet, crying with a handful of snot and tears.

"Brother Yang, why are you doing this? Hurry up, you and my brother have a relationship, so you can kill the younger brother. Wang Xifan hurriedly helped him up and pretended to be surprised and said, he naturally understood Chen Maochun's purpose for coming to him, since Wang Chen broke the rebel army to conquer Nanping, that is to say, these rebellious ministers and thieves who followed Yang Rebellion couldn't sit still.

"My lord, you also know how domineering Yang Dao is, if my brother refuses to be this pseudo-official, I am afraid that the life of the family will not be guaranteed, you have also seen it these days, my brother has not done anything sorry for the court, and he has long been looking forward to the day when the court army will come. Here is a silver ticket of 5,000 taels, if you can say a few kind words to the court for your brother, save the life of my family, and give another 10,000 taels. Chen Maochun said, then took out the silver ticket from his arms, and then respectfully handed it to Wang Xifan.

"Brother Chen, don't worry, this matter is on Xia Guan, you really have no way to talk about it, the Empress Dowager will be sympathetic to this, Xia Guan, why don't I have to deal with Yang Wei here!" Wang Xifan hurriedly took the silver ticket and pretended to sigh and said.

"But Brother Chen, after all, you have been a pseudo-official, even if the lower officials can do their best to exonerate you, but the imperial court has its own laws, so it is best to make some credit for the imperial court, so that you can atone for your sins." He went on to say.

"My lord, please speak, only if you can save the lives of your brother's family, you can go to the soup and fight the fire." Chen Maochun said with a resolute face.

"Lord Wang's army will be killed in Fuzhou in a few days, but this is the provincial capital after all, then Yang Shun also has thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands, and the equipment is well-equipped, although Tianwei will naturally collapse, but it will always take some twists and turns, if we can join forces in the city, then it will be easy to conquer Fuzhou, and when the time comes, don't say that you are not guilty, maybe there will be another reward!" Wang Xifan said with a smile.

"Well, at this time, the brothers have also made a difference, and how to act is to listen to the instructions of the adults." Chen Maochun hesitated, then gritted his teeth and said.

"Very good, this official has gathered a group of loyal and righteous people, but there is a lack of weapons, aren't you good friends with foreigners? If you can get a batch of guns from them, it will be the first achievement. Wang Xifan said, a burst of secret joy in his heart as he spoke, he is worried about this problem now, although the bomb incident did not involve him, but no one dares to play this thing anymore, Wang Chen's army is about to be killed, and he can't let his students take wooden sticks, right?

Chen Maochun's ancestors are a wealthy businessman in Fuzhou, and the relationship between him and foreigners can be said to be irreversible, and he will definitely not be taken care of when he comes forward to buy arms, and he has no money, but he is different, he wants money and money, and he wants to have a way, and it is not easy to get a few hundred rifles, although those students don't know how to shoot guns, of course, they don't actually understand it, but isn't that thing just aimed at the target and pulled the trigger, and it will be learned as soon as you learn it.

When the time comes, these hundreds of elite soldiers will start from inside Fuzhou City, and thousands of green shirts outside will attack fiercely, and it will be a big deal! However, looking at Chen Maochun's expression, he was a little hesitant, no wonder, these businessmen are all grass on the wall, and now they are just looking for a way out because they see that Yang Feng can't jump for a few days, but if they want to do it directly with Yang Feng, it will be a bit timid.

"Brother Chen, it's time like this, are you still thinking about the two ends of the first rat? You must know that you are guilty of rebellion, and you will be beheaded all over the house. Wang Xifan said with a gloomy face.

"My lord, my lord, I'll do it!" Chen Maochun was so frightened that he hurriedly said, he hurried to Yang Feng to tell him that his task was completed, this guy is indeed inseparable from foreigners, so he knows more about the energy of Boss Yang, can be next to such a big tree, he thinks that the ancestral tomb is smoking, at this time, the real court has hit Fuzhou, he will not hesitate to follow Yang Feng to the end, not to mention just come to play Infernal Affairs.

"Get more guns! It's better to get more than a thousand! "Lord Wang is still shouting at him from behind!

"It seems that this Lord Wang has a lot of troops in his hands! Are there so many warriors in Fuzhou City? Yang Feng was skeptical of this number.

"My lord, the banner people have two academies in the city, one Qingwen Academy and one Longguang Academy, and it is estimated that the students of these academies are also included." Chen Maochun said.

That makes sense.

"How many of the Han academies can make trouble with him?" Hearing the word academy, Yang Feng hurriedly asked.

"If the students of the Banner Academy participated, then we Han people are estimated not to have a few involved, Guangxu 16 years because a flag soldier killed the Han people, the result was only a sheep so it caused public anger in the city, at that time it almost caused chaos, since then the contradiction between the two sides has not been resolved, those Han people if they help the flag people, I am afraid that even their parents can not spare them." Chen Maochun said confidently.

Since this is the case, Yang Feng has no worries, although he doesn't have a good impression of the green worms, but after all, there are too few people who can read and write in these years, so he died in the wrestling wrist between himself and Lafayette, it would be a pity, as for the green worms of the dead flag people, it doesn't matter, he was already very merciful if he didn't kill them all, and he can only say that he deserves to die.
