Chapter 47: The Threat of Foreign Priests

Foreigners are involved! Yao Guangcai felt a little big in his head, and hurriedly stuffed the letter to Yang Hao, to see how he dealt with it, and he also regretted it a little in his heart, if there was really a foreign devil behind the surname Zhou, I am afraid that there would be a lot of trouble in the future!

Although the tentacles of foreign devils have not yet reached Rizhao, except for a few concessions, the rule of the Qing Dynasty is still stable, and the foreigners have not shown any intention of occupying them, and the government is not particularly biased towards them when dealing with Huayi disputes, but the officials still know that if they can not be offended, they will not be offended.

Yang Hao didn't care, unfolded the letter, and even guessed, and read the entire traditional Chinese text without punctuation, and noticed that it mentioned the appearance of the Yang family, and the --- diamond that helped the foreign devils find something!

Zhou Quan is helping the German missionary An Zhitai to find the diamond that has been taken away! Niu Er's name was clearly mentioned in it, and Zhou Dianshi judged that Niu Er was likely to fall into the hands of the Yang family according to the news he had found, especially the fact that Liu Dafu and other local ** were subdued.

Yang Hao suddenly connected everything together.

That Niu Er, I don't know where I got the sixty-carat big diamond--- it is most likely to rob others, and it must have been hidden at the time, but it was still known by the missionaries. wanted to find him to get it, but the guy had already brought people to Rizhao to rob him, and he was killed. The Germans didn't know what the relationship was with the local boss Zhou Quan, and asked him to help search, and Zhou Quan suspected the Yang family, so he planned to kill two birds with one stone and wanted to complete the task with the hands of the bandits.

"Hey, hey! It's a pity that you don't have the life to enjoy the reward of the German god! ”

Yang Hao sneered and reassured Yao Guangcai: "Isn't there evidence of thoughtful collusion with foreigners?" I'll find someone to clean it up when I go back, and you can take it to deal with all kinds of inquiries in the open, and keep it safe! ”

"What about the foreign priests?" Yao Guangcai is still not at ease, who knows what agreement the surname Zhou has made with them in private!

Yang Hao patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry!" Before the defeat of the Qing Dynasty, the Germans did not have the courage to look for trouble! Besides, they don't see the light of day when they do things. Even if you really want to find fault, won't you still have me? ”

Now, it is impossible for Yao to turn back, so he has to go all the way to the dark, grit his teeth, fuck it, the sky is falling and there is a high top, as long as the surname Yang does not shake his hand and leave, what should Lao Tzu do!

He didn't know that Yang Hao had a very important situation that he didn't tell him, that is, Bishop An Zhitai, not an ordinary missionary! That's a great bull who has been rated as an "enterprising missionary"!

In 1880, he came to Polizhuang in Yanggu County alone, with only 158 Catholics as a small place as a base, and quickly expanded to the surrounding areas, in just ten years, not only set up churches in Yizhou and other places, but by 1893, the Society of the Divine Word had established 12 churches in the diocese of Lunan, with 34 priests and 4,000 believers.

Not only that, but he also vigorously instigated the establishment of churches in Qufu, the hometown of Confucius, and Zoucheng, the hometown of Mencius. Last year, I wanted to get the third-grade top from the Qing court, and this year I am going to get the second-grade top belt, and when the time comes, I will be able to sit on an equal footing with the feudal officials!

The purpose of such a brilliant religious pioneer was not to spread the gospel in words and to lead the ignorant and unbelievers of the East to the right path of civilization, but to prepare for the German invasion of Shandong.

He took advantage of the opportunity to preach everywhere, surveying geographical terrain, drawing maps, summarizing intelligence, and reconnoitering military installations. Encourage the Christians to engage in friction and dispute with the Chinese in order to actively work for Kaiser Wilhelm II to occupy a colony in the Far East.

It is definitely not a good thing to be targeted by such an idealistic, capable, backstage, and prestigious bishop. Yang Hao can conclude that it is estimated that it will not be long before he will be able to confront the Germans, and when the time comes, there will be some tossing!

Seeing that he was about to finish his work, the county lord Lu Bingyuan, accompanied by his master, Cai Qu and Song Yunsheng, came late. Looking at the collapsed courtyard wall, the empty compound, and the extremely abrupt corpses of the two people of Zhou Quan swaying in the wind, Lord Lu's face turned white!

He originally thought that Yang Hao would hit the door if he was holding up the sky, making noise, and even fighting, but he injured a few people and suppressed his arrogance. At that time, he came to close the scene, took advantage of the situation to publicize the prestige of the county's top leaders, and achieved a good social impact, counting in one fell swoop.

However, after seeing the corpses of more than fifty pirates and officials, he sensed that something was wrong. Okay, one guy has killed so many people, how lethal is this Yang family!

What kind of thing is Yao Guangcai, he knows too well, but he was also cleaned up by the Yang family, and turned around to help as a thug, how big the article is, I can't guess it for a while. But that's all a trivial matter, the key is that the Yang family is so murderous, can you reason with Zhou Quan? Definitely not!

What's even worse is that when he examined the corpse roughly, he clearly told him that most of the bandits' bodies were gunshot wounds and explosion wounds, indicating that they had used firearms. The deformed and broken bullets taken out proved to be foreign guns that did not exist in the county at all!

There was such a big trouble under his nose, and then Yang Hao's series of gunshots made Lu Zhixian feel more entangled, he wanted to hurry over to settle the matter, but was dragged by Cai Qu and Song Yunsheng together, and Master Zhuang also vaguely reminded him: "At this point, it is useless for you to go, but you may show weakness and incompetence because you can't suppress the field, and your prestige is insufficient." It's better to wait for the dust to settle and then come out and clean up the mess! ”

waited until someone came to report the news, Lu Zhixian rushed over, and when he saw this mess, he had a dead heart.

Thoughtful, it's not just as simple as a domineering history, it has been in business for decades, and the relationship network has long been connected, and when this matter spreads, at least someone in Yizhou Mansion and Dengzhou Mansion will post accountability.

This is not the end, no matter how much it drops, he is also a serious official, plus the more than fifty bandits and officials, it is enough to form a big storm, and if the operation is good, he can mix a bullet and suppress the bandits, but this is basically impossible.

Where did you say the pirates came from, Qingdao? This is the defense area of Dengzhou Wei and Anton Wei, and it was actually brought ashore by bandits, so many of you officers and soldiers are eating dry food in the flood camp? Slap your face alive, it's strange if those Qiu Ba don't go crazy.

Not to mention, it is even more impossible, the families of more than a dozen officials want to be appeased, even if he pays for bleeding, the Yang family takes some money to burn and bury the silver, and the wool comes out of the sheep, so how can you explain the sudden death of an official? Suicide in fear of sin? Fool who!

It's all a terrible problem!

Glancing at the constipated look on the face of Lord Zhixian, Yang Hao couldn't help laughing, shook the letter, and said: "Lord Lu, when I was helping to clean up, I found a letter from Zhou's study, which can prove that he fornicated with foreigners, secretly helped him survey and map the geographical city defense, and plotted against him. ”

"Oh? Really? Lu Zhixian's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly grabbed it and took a rough look, and couldn't help but slap it, "Wonderful!" With this letter, it's all easy to say! But....... ”

He noticed the things about the Yang family and diamonds, Yang Hao's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at him meaningfully, and Master Zhuang next to him coughed, and took over the conversation: "Dong Weng, since there is empirical evidence, there is no need to make extraneous branches." It's better to polish it in the next generation, and then lay out it in detail with Yao Patrol, and handle this matter safely! ”

Then he whispered to Yang Hao: "Mr. Yang, I don't have talent, I have a little experience in tracing handwriting, can you do it for you?" Please relax, the gossip will not leak a word. ”

He also saw the content of the letter clearly in the back just now, knowing that it involved the privacy of the Yang family, so it was better not to inquire, otherwise, the people would not be ruthless, and the county magistrate would be killed.

Yang Hao snorted: "Then it's all handed over to Master Zhuang and the adults to dispose of!" After the renovation of my mountain is completed, on the day of opening, how about inviting you to be guests? ”

"If you can't ask for it, you will definitely go to the scene at that time!"

Lu Zhixian didn't put on a show, and said goodbye to him with a smile. The rest of the things, naturally do not need Yang Hao to follow in person, he still has hundreds of officials as hostages in his hands, Yao Inspector has to work hard to complete the matter for his own safety. As for the distribution of the spoils, it is all put in the back, and everyone can figure out the priorities.

Yang Hao drove a pickup truck full of goods, turned around and galloped away, followed by the bicycle team and horse convoy, rushing out of the county seat. Behind them, almost all the people who had heard the news crowded the streets, and the thoughtful old subordinates of the six-room savings point and the third-class officials were all pale, panicked like lost dogs, and the six gods had no owner, and they didn't know what to do.

Not fools can guess that from now on, the power pattern of Rizhao County will be completely broken, and the Yang family will rise strongly and be majestic; The county magistrate has real power and can make a voice; Yao Patrol changed the court and reported a thick thigh; It is imperative for the three parties to join hands to carry out a comprehensive reshuffle to sweep away the original forces of Zhou Quan in one fell swoop and replace them with their people.

Whether to continue to be loyal to the dead Zhou Dianshi, or to give up his dignity and turn around to lick other people's eggs to survive, this is a question! What's worse is that there is definitely not much time left for them to think, and the three aspects will definitely be clean and neat, and when others react, no one can turn the tables on the ironclad case!

It's just that Yang Hao doesn't need to worry too much about this, he rushed all the way back to the mountain, and hurriedly found his family to report the latest situation and plan for coping strategies.
