Looking at the porter's thin body, Zhao Yali showed sympathy and said to Li Yunzhong: "Let's go and see, this person is too pitiful." ”

Li Yunzhong nodded in agreement, came to the porter, and asked, "Why are you suffering?" Look at you, you are also a scholar who has read books, why should you be ridiculed here? ”

The porter bowed his head and replied: "I am ashamed of the teachings of Confucius and Mencius, and ashamed of the entrustment of my deceased father, I dare not call myself a scholar anymore, and I do not allow others to be called this way, please forgive me." ”

Qiu'er muttered on the side: "What a weirdo, since you have studied, you can't find any job in Shanghai, why do you want to be a lowly porter?" I've heard that you often do illegal things, is that true? ”

The porter raised his head, his eyes were full of tears, and he said loudly: "I Zhang Zhidong stands up to the sky, I have never done extortion, nor have I done anything against my conscience, please respect yourself!" ”

"Zhang Zhidong!" Zhao Yali couldn't help but exclaim, and immediately asked, "You are...... Zhang Xiaoda? ”

Zhang Zhidong looked puzzled and asked, "How does the girl know my font size?" Since the day the villain entered Shanghai, he has not used his real name. ”

Li Yunzhong and Zhao Yali looked at each other, it was really effortless to break through the iron shoes and find nowhere to get them, but they didn't expect the famous Zhang Zhidong to be a porter!

Li Yunzhong picked up Zhang Zhidong and asked, "Brother Zhang, you are very talented and talented, why don't you become an official, but waste time in Shanghai?" Isn't it a talent to live up to? ”

Zhang Zhidong arched his hand and said angrily: "The Son of Heaven is covered in dust and goes north, and the anti-thief Red Flame is arrogant, and we and other righteous people are all heartbroken. If I can't help the orthodoxy of the Qing Dynasty, how can I serve the puppet Han. ”

Qiu'er listened to him sarcastically mock Li Yunzhong. The boss in his heart was unhappy, and he saw that his young lady had no objections. can only whisper here: "Then you are not in Shanghai to make a living, if you have the ability, you will chase Xianfeng!" ”

"Qiu'er!" Zhao Yali glared at Qiu'er and said to Zhang Zhidong: "Brother Zhang, don't mind, she is spoiled by me?" My name is Zhao ...... Yali, the standing of the standing! ”

Zhang Zhidong saluted and replied: "It turned out to be Brother Zhao, and he was polite." ”

Li Yunzhong heard that he had hatred of Han, so he didn't plan to report his name, so as not to get angry and leave Zhang Zhidong. Immediately asked, "I don't know why Brother Zhang is here?" ”

Zhang Zhidong said with a wry smile: "Don't hide it from the prince, I was born in a family of eunuchs, my father is the prefect of Xingyi, the anti-thief disaster is Yungui, my father died on the battlefield, I was still preparing for the exam in Shuntianfu at that time, I got the news, and hurried to Xingyi, fortunately, there is a clan brother to take care of." My mother survived, and then I took my mother to Beijing to settle down, but unfortunately ......"

Zhao Yali knew that she had reached the key point, and asked, "What is a pity?" It stands to reason that you are the queen of loyalty. Should the imperial court focus on pensions? ”

Zhang Zhidong slapped the car pole heavily and said angrily: "They are all traitors who mislead the country, and the relatives and nobles of the DPRK and China only care about looting the people's fat and people's ointment." is ready to flee to the Northeast, and even the bereavement pension is not paid. Instead, I couldn't be more angry. He fled with the refugees with his mother and settled down in Shanghai. ”

Li Yunzhong sighed and comforted: "The Qing court is unpopular, and sooner or later it will be wiped out by the Han Dynasty, Brother Zhang doesn't have to mind, but why are you?" ”

Zhang Zhidong's face turned gloomy, and he replied: "I wanted to meet my father's friends along the way, but they all served as hypocrites, and they didn't know what loyalty was, phew! Even if I starve to death, I will accept their alms! When I arrived in Shanghai, my mother was sick and could no longer walk, and I didn't want to work for the hypocrites, so I became a porter. ”

Listening to him call him a hypocrite, Zhao Yali glanced at Li Yunzhong, and said to Zhang Zhidong: "Brother Xian plans to be a porter for the rest of his life?" Don't say I'm sorry for the teacher, but I wasted my talent in vain. ”

Zhang Zhidong said: "Thank you Brother Zhao for your care, and thank you for your charity, with this hundred taels of silver, my mother's illness can be cured, and then I will set off to join my teacher." ”

Li Yunzhong was taken aback, but he couldn't let Zhang Zhidong go in vain, and asked, "Who is your teacher?" I'm afraid I won't be able to accommodate you! ”

Zhang Zhidong did not hesitate, and replied: "Engong doesn't know, my mentor is Hu Gong, the governor of Yungui!" ”

"Hu Linyi!" Li Yunzhong was surprised and delighted, and couldn't help laughing: "Brother Zhang doesn't know, Hu Linyi is going to surrender to the Han!" Aren't you going to fall into a trap? ”

"Nonsense!" Zhang Zhidong was shocked and angry, and only reacted after a while, bowed to Li Yunzhong and said, "Please advise Engong?" ”

Li Yunzhong smiled: "I...... That's the case, Hu Linyi has already contacted Zuo Zongtang, just waiting for the time to revolt in Yunnan, hehe, now that Beijing has been captured by the Han army, isn't this the time to wait! ”

"This ...... This is impossible, the teacher will never surrender! He personally taught me loyalty, filial piety, moderation, and righteousness, how could I surrender? Seeing what Li Yunzhong said, Zhang Zhidong had no master of the six gods, and the things he insisted on in his heart collapsed instantly.

Zhao Yali helped Zhang Zhidong and persuaded: "Brother Zhang Xian has also stayed in the Han Dynasty for a few years, and he has seen the administration of the Han Dynasty with his own eyes, does he have to help the Manchu Dynasty, with all due respect, if the Tao is in the Han Dynasty today, the Manchu Qing Dynasty is dead, if Brother Zhang shows his ambitions, why not join the Han Dynasty?" ”

Zhang Zhidong was still immersed in the news of Hu Linyi's surrender, and said to Zhao Yali: "But my father died at the hands of the thieves, how can I help the abuse, how can my father be blind under Jiuquan." ”

Li Yunzhong asked, "In whose hands did your father die?" ”

Zhang Zhidong gritted his teeth and said: "Shi Dakai, Qin Rigang!" These two rebels and thieves! ”

Zhao Yali said: "Then it is difficult for you to take revenge, now the Manchu Qing Dynasty itself is difficult to protect, and the sharpness has been lost, although it has fled to the northeast, but there is no longer the courage at the beginning of the founding of the country, and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has millions of mercenaries, how can you take revenge?" ”

Zhang Zhidong smiled bitterly: "I wanted to take refuge in my teacher and make contributions, but I ......"

Zhao Yali wanted to say more, Li Yunzhong hurriedly stopped and whispered in her ear: "Persuade these stubborn people to come slowly, otherwise it will only backfire!" ”

Zhao Yali also knew that Li Yunzhong was very experienced in this area, so she stomped her feet unwillingly.

Zhang Zhidong lost his soul and walked aimlessly pulling the rickshaw.

Li Yunzhong beckoned to one of the guards and ordered, "You go and follow him, tomorrow I will see his details!" ”

"Yes!"

The more Zhao Yali thought about it, the more unwilling she became, and complained to Li Yunzhong: "Zhang Zhidong is a famous minister in the late Qing Dynasty, why did you stop me?" ”

Li Yunzhong seemed to have found an organization, and shouted: "Do you think my rebellion has always been smooth? When you meet a famous minister, you take the initiative to take refuge, and when you meet a strong general, you will bow your head, phew! The history books are all lies! ”

Zhao Yali blinked her eyes and replied: "Then what do Zuo Zongtang and Li Hongzhang say, Sanjie was accepted by you for two, let me tell you, this hole is mine, don't beat him!" ”

Li Yunzhong didn't care, he looked tragic, recalled the original situation, and said to himself: "I think the first time I met Zuo Zongtang, when I was in Changsha, this scholar actually swaggered and persuaded me to surrender......"

Zhao Yali liked to hear these stories the most, so she hurriedly pulled Li Yunzhong into the guard's carriage and asked, "Say it quickly!" Say it! And then? I didn't expect Zuo Zongtang to be so bold! ”

Li Yunzhong did what he liked, and continued: "At that time, I didn't know that he was Zuo Zongtang, and when I saw that he was not ashamed, I blasted out, or Jiao Liang reminded me, I immediately sent someone to chase him back, if it wasn't for the urgency of the war, I would have chased him personally!" ”

Zhao Yali said: "Then Zuo Zongtang must have surrendered!" ”

Li Yunzhong smiled bitterly: "Surrender? He was the one who persuaded me to surrender! Grandma is a bear, I persuaded Zuo Zongtang as soon as I had time, from Changsha to Wuchang, from Wuchang to Nanjing, my mouth was worn out three layers! ”

Zhao Yali made a grimace, glanced at Li Yunzhong comfortingly, and said with a smile: "This time, Zuo Zongtang will bow down!" ”

"I almost gave him a headshot!" Li Yunzhong said proudly: "But when he heard that I was going to slaughter the city, he immediately softened and begged me, so we agreed on three chapters of the law, so he was reluctant to do things for me, and he was not ready to let him be an official, until our army gained a firm foothold in Nanjing and broke through the Jiangnan camp, Zuo Zongtang gave up!" ”

Zhao Yali showed a look of disdain: "You still want to slaughter the city!" With half an inch of courage, you dare to slaughter the city! (To be continued......)
