184 [Fishing People]
In the prison, the prince who used to be surrounded by brocade clothes and jade food is now divided into a small single room, sitting on the pile of firewood and grass and waiting for death silently.
These days, he has suffered a lot.
The Qing Dynasty is dead, and he, the prince, has become the prince of the previous dynasty, and the power of the past no longer exists, but has become a water dog that everyone shouts and beats.
Sending his daughter to Guanwai, he packed up some soft goods, dismissed the servants and ran to the Jinmen Concession, preparing to be a duke there in peace.
He estimated that even if the concession was the territory of foreigners, no matter how powerful the revolutionary party was, there was nothing they could do with them.
However, before he reached the concession, he was blocked by soldiers blocking the road on the way to escape.
The prince of the previous dynasty is not as effective as a shed chief, at least a shed chief can manage thirteen people, and he is also a righteous party!
There is no doubt that all the money on him, the prince, has been confiscated as reverse property, and people have also been detained in prison, and it is difficult to get out.
Although those servants were not thrown into prison by these revolutionaries because they were of little value, those who were loyal to him could still pass on the news of his arrest.
But he knew very well in his heart that if he wanted to fish him out, it basically didn't exist. These Manchu princes, one by one, ran towards the concession, aren't they afraid of being liquidated!
The winner tramples the loser under his feet to take what he wants, and can the loser say half a word?
It's all.
President Yuan Da is not, he is a person who wants fame and face, and some things are not good to do too much. But for the following officials, being an official is to seek money!
Now that these people have carved up the reverse property of these Manchu nobles, how can they be allowed to stand up and make noise?
What awaits him will be an indefinite prison sentence, or a bullet that does not know when it will be delivered.
"Alas, number 97, call you!"
A prison guard knocked on the iron bar with a stick in his hand and shouted at him.
The prince was stunned, is this going to send him on the road?
But before he could think about it, the prison guard opened the cell door casually and said to him: "No. 97, someone has come to protect you, you have been released, come with me!" ”
He was stunned again, he didn't have to die! So who will protect him?
The prison guard couldn't manage so much, he only knew that his boss was still waiting outside, but he couldn't delay the time, and kept urging him to hurry up.
The prince followed the prison guard and walked out of the dark cell, the dazzling sunlight almost blinded him, and it took him a long time to get used to it.
However, listening to the conversation between the two men not far away, he seemed to know who had fished him.
"Adjutant Zhang, this is what you want, that prince."
"Okay, thank you, Director Cao. Finally got this done, and you know that it's very troublesome for women to cry and cry, so I won't stay any longer, and it's not respectful at all. ”
"Then brother is welcome, I will invite you to drink another day."
The two exchanged a few words, and one of the young men stood in front of him, "That prince, that Wenge has been waiting for a long time." ”
One moment he was still waiting for death in the prison, and the next moment he was fished out to meet his only relative, and there are no more ups and downs in life than this.
In the hotel room, Zhang Hu did not disturb the conversation between the father and daughter, and silently closed the door and withdrew.
How can a prince be the master of a small police chief, in order to dredge up the relationship between the upper echelons, they spend a lot of money.
Yuan Pengfei, the town guard in this remote place, was not qualified enough, but he still owed Zhang Dashuai a favor, and asked him to deliver a message to make someone feel relieved, and even then he paid 30,000 oceans for thanks.
You must know that these warlords sell county officials, and a first-class county is only 3,000 oceans, and 30,000 oceans can buy ten county magistrates. If you change to a poor county of the third class, you can buy thirty.
This prince is still very valuable!
After hearing this number, the prince also smiled bitterly. When the Manchu prince came, the court would issue 10,000 taels of silver a year, and 30,000 oceans was not much.
Besides, the property of the prince's mansion is also a lot, and selling some of it can also pay back this favor. But now he is destitute, except for the identity of a prince, there is nothing else.
He is also a shrewd person, and as soon as his mind turned, he asked: "Nawen, there is no free lunch in the world, my benefactor must have something to ask for!" ”
Nawen has experienced so many things, and she is not a fledgling sheltered under her father's wing, although she has some pain in her heart, she does not show it, but just said lightly:
"Amma, I have already inquired about this town guard who saved you, he is a famous young talent in Sanjiangkou, and it is not a loss to be his second room."
The joy of the prince's life was immediately diluted a lot. A Gege, marrying a military attache in a remote place, is already considered a marriage. What a humiliation it is to have a second room now.
But he didn't have a choice now.
Nawen was also a little lonely in his heart, but he didn't want to add any more psychological burden to his Amma, so he squeezed out a smile and said, "Amma, there is one more thing." He wants you to go to Lushun first, contact Prince Su and them, and help him inquire about a message. ”
"What's the news?" Then the prince woke up immediately.
Although he, a waste prince, has been relying on selling his property to maintain a luxurious life. But it doesn't mean that he is willing to betray the country, he still has some feelings for the Great Qing Kingdom, which gave him a superior status.
Nawen knew what he was thinking, and quickly explained: "Amma, don't think about it. He just wanted to know if Prince Su had given one of his daughters to his Japanese brother Kawashima Sholang as an adopted daughter. ”
Inquire about this kind of news, and the prince has no guilt in his heart. And there is also a glimmer of hope in my heart, it is better to have use value than no use value.
"What about you?"
"He's in the capital, and I'm probably going to the capital too." Nawen smiled, took out a stack of silver tickets from his sleeve, and stuffed them into the prince's hand, "Amma, this is five thousand oceans, they will arrange a house servant for you when you go to Lushun, but we can't let other princes underestimate it." ”
The prince held this stack of silver tickets, but his heart was heavy, "Nawen, this money ......"
Nawen knew what he was about to say, and hurriedly said: "Amma, he is not the master of bad money, he gave me 10,000 oceans with a casual sentence, and I kept half of it is enough." There is nothing bad about the second room, and it is good for us to enjoy the life without bad money. ”
Who wants to be a big house is willing to be a second room, who can choose a favorite, who is willing to choose a person who has never even seen a face. But that he has money, and these don't seem to be a problem.
can continue to live the life of Wang Fu Gege, what is the point of being wronged?
