Lin Yuan asked, "Then who wrote this manuscript?" ”

Shen Wanqing said: "When I went out to ask, I knew that all our current manuscripts are written by our people, unlike our time, when we were able to collect manuscripts from the society."

Lin Yuan and Shen Wanqing were just about to go out, when they heard a rush of footsteps at the door, and then they saw more than a dozen people who looked like officials rushing up, all carrying spears on their backs and short knives in their hands, led by a big man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, standing in the room and roaring, like a bell, and said: "Which of you is Qiu Meng's whisper?" Stand up. ”

Shen Wanqing whispered, "What's going on?" How did they get in? ”

Lin Yuan said: "Do you still need to say it? It must have been that the Qing court was unhappy when it saw that draft, so it came to the newspaper office to find trouble. ”

Shen Wanqing said: "I'm not talking about this, we have guards, although the newspaper office is on the edge of the embassy area, but after all, it is part of the Ryukyu Embassy, and the guards at the door are all our people, how did they get in?" ”

Lin Yuan thought for a while and said, "It seems that this group of people is prepared, let's wait for a while, don't rush out." ”

When Lin Yuan and Shen Wanqing were talking, they saw a girl standing out of the crowd, Lin Yuan saw that it was Qiu Jin, and saw her standing in front of the official in awe, and said, "I am Qiu Meng's whisper, who are you?" Why trespass on our newspaper office! ”

The official said angrily, "Why? That's it! As he spoke, he took out a newspaper from his bosom and said, "Did you write the above 'Imperial Fee Proposal'?" ”

Qiu Jin said: "I wrote it, is there anything wrong?" ”

The official frowned and sneered, "What's wrong?" What a sharp-tongued girl! As he spoke, he threw the newspaper in his hand at Qiu Jin's face, and said angrily: "Lock it up for me, take it back to the prison of the Criminal Department!" ”

A few officials on the side stepped forward, shook the chains in their hands, and made a "bang" sound, which made everyone frightened, Qiu Jin was hit in the face by the newspaper, let out an exclamation, took two steps back, and said angrily: "Why are you arresting people?" ”

The official raised his hand, took out a document from his arms, handed it to Qiu Jin, and said: "I am instructed by Lord Yuan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, to arrest this 'Qiu Meng's whisper' for the crime of 'creating demon books and demons', Wang Fa is here, you better go with me obediently." ”

Qiu Jin said angrily: "What is a demon book and a fallacy!" What's wrong with what I'm writing? The royal family is only a few hundred people, but it costs more than five million taels of silver every year, not counting the silver for building mausoleums and traveling, so much silver is enough for hundreds of thousands of poor people to live for a lifetime! ”

The official said angrily: "You dare to slander the saint, you are so bold, take it away for me." Saying that, a few officials rushed forward, grabbed Qiu Jin's arm and was about to lock it, Qiu Jin was just a twenty-year-old girl, where was the opponent of this group of strong men, at this moment, a man's voice suddenly came from the door: "Stop, you can't catch her!" ”

Lin Yuan followed the sound and found that he didn't know this person, so he asked Shen Wanqing in a low voice: "Who is this person?" ”

Shen Wanqing said: "He is Qiu Jin's husband, his name is Wang Tingjun, but it is an arranged marriage made by his parents, Qiu Jin is not happy, but this Wang Tingjun has a deep love for Qiu Jin, and often comes here to find her." ”

The official looked at Wang Tingjun and said angrily: "Who are you?" ”

Wang Tingjun smiled and said, "Brother Guancha, you have something to say, why do you want to arrest people?" As he spoke, he touched his waist bag with his hand.

After a long time in the officialdom, the official can see at a glance what Wang Tingjun means: Wang Tingjun is planning to bribe, but the official sneered and said: "Put away your kid's money, this is an order personally issued by Shangshu of the Criminal Department, you have to find Lord Yuan to use the money." As he spoke, with a wave of his hand, several officials escorted Qiu Jin to leave.

Wang Tingjun was still in front, and as soon as the official reached out his hand, Wang Tingjun pushed Wang Tingjun away, Wang Tingjun flew up, used his body as a weapon, and smashed the official who grabbed Qiu Jin away, and shouted loudly: "Run, go find Lin Shuai!" ”

The officials on Qiu Jin's side were defenseless, and they were hit by Wang Tingjun, when did the officials suffer such a loss, and they didn't dare to kill people when they picked up their waist knives, so they used the back of the knife and beat Wang Tingjun with their heads and faces, and everyone saw that the officials were beating people and making a mess, and at this time someone remembered that Lin Yuan was in the editor-in-chief's room.

Running to the editor-in-chief's room alone, Lin Yuan also saw that the official messenger began to beat people, and said to Shen Wanqing: "I can't go out of the house." Lin Yuan said and walked out of the editor-in-chief's room, came outside, and said in a deep voice: "Ben Shuai is here, who dares to be presumptuous!" ”

Although Lin Yuan's words were not high, they were full of awe-inspiring murderous aura, and everyone present couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts when they heard his words, as if a piece of ice had been thrown into their hearts, all the officials stopped their hands, looked at Lin Yuan, Qiu Jin took advantage of this time to pull Wang Tingjun aside, and when he saw that he was covered with blood, he cried out at once.

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "A group of little officials, I can just use official threats to scare them, and they will definitely get out of the way." So Lin Yuan stepped forward and said angrily: "Leave the matter here to me, you can go back." ”

Who knew that the official of Lu Dao actually pulled out his chest and said proudly: "Lord Lin, although your official position is big, but we are Lord Yuan's subordinates, the people of the Criminal Department, and the people above are the current saints, although your official position is big, but you can't control us!" Your shelf, wait until you go back to the Northeast to put it up! ”

The official shouted angrily: "Men and women, take them away." When the officials heard this, they replied with all their might, "Yes!" Saying that he grabbed Qiu Jin and Wang Tingjun and was about to leave, Lin Yuan thought to himself: "I didn't expect to really meet Lu today and not be afraid of me, so it's okay, then I'll give you something powerful to see." ”

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan stretched out his hand and took out the pistol, and said coldly: "Dare to talk to me like this, believe it or not, I'll kill you now!" ”

The official put his head on Lin Yuan's muzzle, pressed against Lin Yuan's muzzle, and said, "If you have the ability, shoot!" ”

Lin Yuan's eyes were clear, and the official was trembling in his heart, thinking: "Lin Yuan won't really shoot, who is Lin Yuan?" The master who killed the Japanese and the Russians without blinking his eyes, how could he make a mistake for a while and contradict him? ”

Just when the official errand regretted it, Lin Yuan suddenly took the pistol and turned it, holding the barrel in his hand, the gun handle was aimed at the cheeks of the official errand, rounded his arm, and came fiercely, only to hear a "snap", the official errand was beaten out of the jaw, and fell to the ground with a "plop", the whole face was shot open with a big hole, blood flowed straight out, and a mouth spit out broken teeth.

Everyone was frightened stupid, stunned on the spot for a long time without speaking, the official's subordinates saw the leader being beaten, but they definitely didn't dare to fight back, as long as they dared to touch Lin Yuan, it would be a big crime to be beheaded!

Lin Yuan pointed to the official errand on the ground, and said lightly: "You dare to talk to Ben Shuai like this, you have no respect for your elders, I will discipline you well for your Lord Yuan!" ”

It took the official half a day to recover his strength and get up, and said: "Okay, Lord Lin, the villain is guilty, but you dare to shield the criminal, this matter will never be easily over!" ”
