Deng Zixuan said with a smile: "I judge that those tobacco and soil may be sold by officials, otherwise how can someone confess easily." In addition, the Hu family's lost gold and silver jewelry may be a drop in the bucket for them. One of them did not lose the opium, and the other two did not die, so they would definitely not report the crime for the safety of the tobacco, but it was a top priority to move the tobacco. So we can rest assured and boldly go back from the official road. ”

Deng Zixuan's analysis is based on the truth, and many officials in later generations did not dare to report thefts from their homes for fear of exposure of corruption. I remember a case where the home of a high-ranking official was burglarized, and his wife reported that he had lost items and money worth 3 million. Later, the police caught the thieves, and there were a total of 15 million items and money when they were checked. As a result, the corruption of this high-ranking official was exposed, and a big joke was made. The prism of history reflects similar laws, and the sale of opium by officials of the Qing Dynasty was also a capital offense.

In Yingde, he really didn't find any change in the official mansion, and it seemed that Hu had no choice but to eat Coptis dumb and thought he was unlucky. Everyone admired Deng Zixuan's clever calculations more and more, and since then, everyone has no second thoughts, and they respect Deng Zixuan more and more. On the same day, a carriage was hired in Yingde, and the brothers continued on the road. Stayed overnight in Fogang County to continue the journey, which is less than 100 miles away from the city of Guangzhou.

Out of Fogang County, the carriage traveled less than 20 kilometers when suddenly the axle broke. The crowd had no choice but to walk on foot, and soon it was dark. The terrain in this area is complex, lush and hilly. There is a temple on the mountain on the left, and Deng Zixuan decided to stay in the temple for a night. When I entered this temple, I found that it was Niangniang Temple, which was dilapidated and empty. The people piled up the grass and lit it, baked the food they had brought with them, and went to bed after eating the hastily.

The noisy sound of the early birds woke Deng Zixuan up in his sleep. I opened my eyes and looked at the bonfire around me, which was still radiating heat, and the brothers were still asleep. Deng Zixuan rubbed his eyes and sat up, and the sound of the thatch under his body alarmed Chen Jinxuan. In his professional habits, Chen Jinyu quickly pulled out his pistol and looked at it vigilantly: "Deng Gongzi has woken up!" "I was woken up by a bird and couldn't sleep!" After speaking, Deng Zixuan got up and walked out of the temple gate. Looking at the winding road beneath his feet, he took a big breath of fresh air and moved his limbs a few times.

"Deng Gongzi! What's next? Chen Jinyu followed out and moved his hands and feet. Nothing jihua for the time being! Wait patiently for the big ship to be built! "Deng Gongzi! Is Qin Fan reliable? "It's a strange place, there's no way to do it, and we're in dire need of manpower. No one of us can do business, so we have to use people who are suspicious and do not use doubts, and Guangzhou will be a treasure place for us to develop our ambitions in the future, so we must take root in Guangzhou. Deng Zixuan tried to dispel Chen Jinxuan's doubts.

Chen Jinyu looked at Deng Zixuan and plucked up the courage to ask: "Deng Gongzi, you and I are friends who are irreversible, and it was you who saved my life." Since we swore an oath, I have given you more than 100 pounds. I know Childe has big ambitions, can't you reveal some of your true intentions to me? I know your real purpose is not necessarily to be rich. I've been itching in my heart for the past few months. Deng Zixuan looked at Chen Jinxuan's sincere gaze and said, "Brother Chen, how is the revolver in your hand?" "Needless to say, no matter how strong your martial arts are, one bullet will solve the problem, and now I am convinced!" After Chen Jinyu finished speaking, he subconsciously grabbed the handle.

Deng Zixuan glanced back at his brother who was still asleep and said, "I have traveled thousands of miles to find treasure, because I need a lot of silver. With silver, I can buy foreigners' machines, with machines, I can make guns and cannons, and with guns, I can build an invincible army. But it takes time and money! "Deng Gongzi! I see, from now on we will rush to wherever you point! Chen Jin's eyes lit up with joy.

Deng Zixuan continued: "Brother Chen, what I said to you today, I can't tell anyone, I must be very small, otherwise the slightest mistake will be lost!" "Deng Gongzi! Don't worry, I won't reveal half a sentence to the outside world! Deng Zixuan seemed to remember something and said, "There is one thing I have to discuss with you!" "Deng Gongzi's command is it!"

"I'm going to leave Pei Gejin and Wang Xiaoer in Guangzhou. We are not only gaining a firm foothold in Guangzhou, but also the base must become bigger and stronger in the future. I observed that Pei Gejin's ability is good and can be of great use. I don't have to worry if he is in charge of Guangzhou, "Childe's eyesight is good, Brother Ge Jin is usually our military advisor, but since I met you, I have put out fires!" He often sighed to himself. It can be said that he is a hero from a young man since ancient times, and this is true! The two couldn't help but laugh after speaking.

The sun rose, and the brethren rose up. The bonfire was lit again, and everyone gathered around the bonfire to eat dry food. Suddenly, there was a crisp sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and Wan Chuan, a spirit, got up and went out to check. Without a bag of cigarettes, he ran back: "Deng Gongzi, a pair of officers and soldiers and two military vehicles have appeared on the mountain road!" "Hurry up and put out the campfire!" After Deng Zixuan finished speaking, he got up and ran out. The brothers also quickly followed. Hiding behind a rock to check, I found a pair of officers and soldiers escorting two military vehicles to the scene.

When the service car came to the foot of the mountain, the Niangniang Temple was about 50 meters away from the nearest point of the mountain road, so it was very clear. There were 20 Qing soldiers and horses, with 5 horses in front of them to open the way, and the rest followed behind the service vehicles. The military vehicle in front of it was covered with a canopy, and a Qing soldier drove the car, apparently there were people in the caravan. There was also a Qing soldier in the service car behind, and a box with an oval upper part was pulled on the car. Holding his breath, Deng Zixuan stared at the box, and immediately judged that the box must be filled with silver.

"Keep up with them!" Deng Zixuan had the idea of robbery for a moment, the money of the damn government is not robbed in vain, and now the opportunity is rare. When the brothers heard what Deng Zixuan meant, their blood immediately boiled. After a few miles, a small stream appeared on the right side of the mountain road. The Qing soldiers rode their horses and rushed to the creek to drink, and the Qing soldiers dismounted one after another. At this time, the military car stopped, and the Qing soldiers who were driving in front of them said a few words to the people in the caravan, and then ran to the creek with the Qing soldiers who were driving the car behind them with buckets.

When the opportunity came, Deng Zixuan said in a low voice: "Listen, everyone, guns are not allowed to be used." Shoot quickly and leave no one alive. As soon as Deng Zixuan's words fell, the brothers had already attacked. The Qing soldiers were defenseless, and some even took out large smoking guns and sat by the creek to smoke them. When the Qing soldiers noticed that something was wrong, gunshots rang out. By the time Deng Zixuan arrived at the creek, the Qing soldiers had all been defeated, and there was no death howling.

The brothers divided up to replenish their guns, and Deng Zixuan walked to the caravan and lifted the curtain casually. I saw a fat guy with an official hat, trembling with fright, and he couldn't even make a sound, obviously he saw the scene he was afraid of. Deng Zixuan carefully identified the official hat and said, "Haha! 6 official officials are not small! After saying that, Deng Zixuan put the gun on this guy's head and pulled the trigger. Damn it's still a musket! It's all done in the blink of an eye! ”“haha！ Lao Tzu hasn't enjoyed it yet, it's all over! The brothers cried out for joy.

"Double-check to see if there's any alive!" Deng Zixuan shouted loudly. This kung fu Wan Chuan opened the box and exclaimed: "The box is silver!" haha！ And gold bars! Deng Zixuan stepped forward and said, "You immediately find out the number of silver taels.!" "Deng Gongzi, I have checked it carefully, there is no one alive, what should I do with these dead bodies and horses!" Chen Jinyu walked over and asked. Deng Zixuan said without thinking: "Load all the dead bodies into the carriage, then turn the head of the carriage, and the old horse will know the way to report the news!" When they heard this, they laughed, carried the dead body into the cart, and then waved their whips and drove the horses to run. The frightened ownerless horses also ran with the wagon.

"Deng Gongzi, there are 5,000 taels of silver and 100 gold bars!" Wan Chuan reciprocated with a happy face. "The gold bars are taken away, and the silver is buried on the spot and marked, and it will be taken at a later date." Deng Zixuan said decisively. Everyone didn't expect that this windfall was a birthday gift from the prefect of Shaoguan to the governor of Liangguang, who happened to have a 66th birthday a year ago. In the middle of the night, the group quietly returned to the city wall. Then sneak into the city along the ditch and waterway, the most dangerous place is the safest place, which Deng Zixuan knows very well that there is no safety in Guangzhou City anywhere.

When the third watch came back in the middle of the night, Qin Fan was startled. Deng Zixuan panicked and said that the brothers entered the city at dusk and drank until midnight before returning. Qin Fan believed it when he saw that everyone was drunk, but in fact, Deng Zixuan spilled wine on everyone's body, and the smell of wine naturally became tangy. Martial law was imposed in the city of Guangzhou that morning, and because the case occurred dozens of kilometers outside the city, the Qing soldiers did not search the city.

The sun rose a pole high, Qin Fan woke up Deng Zixuan and said with a panicked expression: "Mr. Deng! Got a big case? "What's the big case?" Deng Zixuan pretended to be confused. "The birthday gift given by the Shaoguan prefect to the governor was robbed by robbers outside the city. None of the Qing soldiers escorted alive, and I heard that they were killed by foreign guns. Now the city of Guangzhou has spread all over the city. "It turned out to be a birthday gift! Deng Zixuan pretended to be surprised and said: "What a bold act, he dared to rob the Governor's birthday gift!" The Qing soldiers were killed by foreign guns, but it was the foreigners who did it? "Everyone in the city says so, maybe it was a pirate who did it!" Qin Fan's eyes were filled with anger, obviously he hated foreigners very much.

Deng Zixuan was happy in his heart, and what he wanted was such an effect. The purpose of using guns is to blame foreigners and confuse right and wrong. At the moment, revolvers, not anyone can get them if they want to. Not to mention that even the governor may not have a revolver in the hands of the robbers. The target can only be foreigners. Thinking of this, Deng Zixuan couldn't help but feel overjoyed, and couldn't help but be proud of his plan. Suddenly, he noticed that Qin Fan's gaze was a little strange, and he realized that it was not good to say: "Foreigners are hateful, they casually go ashore to kill people and set fires, this is the shame of my Qing Dynasty, there is a way that heaven does not tolerate!" ”

After Qin Fan left, Deng Zixuan patted his head and blamed himself, damn it is still immature, how can he be angry and happy, it seems that he will need to cultivate in the future. Since the bullet was fired from a foreign gun, the government confirmed it by examining the bullet in the corpse of the Qing soldiers. There is no proof of death, and it is impossible to verify it with foreigners. In addition, there are no clues, and when it comes to the face of the governor, Zuihou can only be regarded as a suspicious case. Subsequently, the Qing soldiers strengthened the police equipment along the coast, and it took a while to stop.

However, Deng Zixuan was puzzled by the case of Hufu, it stands to reason that he did not report the case at that time, and it could be reported as a robbery case later, but there has been no movement. Is there really a treasure? Or is there something else going on? This matter surfaced more than ten years later, and Deng Zixuan knew the truth.

The brothers hid in the courtyard and were lonely, Deng Zixuan simply asked them to read and write, and strictly required that they must be able to recognize and write 10 words every day. In order to make them quick up, Deng Zixuan wrote the words he had learned on rice paper at the place where they were active, reminding them anytime and anywhere. In this way, not to mention the effect is very significant.
