Chapter 33: Robbing People
Zhang Junyao proposed to Luo Xiaoqi the interception of the merchant ship last month, she felt that this method was good, and immediately intercepted the ship, and the bandits kidnapped the ticket and asked the other party to hand over the ransom. However, the owner of the ship, General Zhao, sent a representative to negotiate in a civilized manner.
The representative also stated that General Zhao is a person with a good face, and Luo Xiaoqi's interception of his boat is his face, and it is impossible for him to pull down his face and give Luo Xiaoqi what he wants on the spot.
So the two sides were at a stalemate with each other, Luo Xiaoqi bit and didn't let go of the food on the ship, and the other side was even more stubborn and didn't pay a penny, and things were not as easy as originally thought.
Although General Zhao has soldiers, he is a one-handed confrontation with Luo Xiaoqi, obviously not an opponent, Luo Xiaoqi has made many friends, and the breadth of his connections is really not something that he can confront head-on as a warlord who leads the troops. In terms of using force, he could only die without making a move.
Luo Xiaoqi on the other side only intercepted the ship and did not take any further action, because she knew that General Zhao was stubborn and would never transfer another ship to load food without giving a ransom, so time slowly ran out. When it is really imminent, General Zhao will definitely compromise, and there is no need for Zhang Junyao to cooperate with the outside world, and General Zhao will inevitably send another representative to take a step back to talk about money. So the only thing to give Luo Xiaoqi is to wait, she is not in a hurry, she has time.
And Zhang Junyao, who didn't have time to look at the consumption of these two people, couldn't sit still, he didn't have enough money to fight, so he hit General Zhao, and as a result, there was not enough ammunition, and he had to pay for his rations, which he didn't want to see. So he came to persuade General Zhao to compromise more and more times, he was iron-blooded and tender, and he talked about how difficult it was for him to become a marshal along the way, and how important this battle was to his life, if there was no dry food on that ship, his battle would not have to be fought.
General Zhao himself also weighed the weight of face and dry food, and the arrogance of the moment was almost worn out with a day or two, coupled with Luo Xiaoqi's oppression outside, and Zhang Junyao's instigation again and again, in the end, he could only hand over the ransom arrogantly, and even the negotiations that Luo Xiaoqi wanted to save were saved.
So he made a bold call to the bank in front of Zhang Junyao, and he was a little convinced: "Lao Tzu has been a bandit for half his life, and he has never seen someone who has been kidnapped by bandits to ransom a boat, it's really unlucky."
And Zhang Junyao on the side could only smile, didn't say anything, and waited for General Zhao to hand over the ransom, Luo Xiaoqi returned the ship to him safe and sound, and also received the money from Zhang Junyao the next day.
Luo Xiaoqi was full of calculations, plus General Zhao and Zhang Junyao's share, which was just enough money for the guns traded with Zhang Junyao, so he unknowingly sent people to transport these guns and shells to Tianjin.
Zhang Junyao and Luo Xiaoqi all take what they need with such cooperation, but the only bad thing is that Luo Xiaoqi and General Zhao have a holiday, and she can't suffer from this loss, Zhang Junyao must also taste a little.
Zhang Junyao, who got a gun and a boat, had enough money to earn enough capital to lead troops to fight, and then sent Luo Xiaoqi a telegram, which was written squarely about the praise of Luo Xiaoqi: She is really a heroine. Then he put on a formal suit and led the soldiers to fight, he praised Luo Xiaoqi so much, he didn't know that Luo Xiaoqi would turn into a poisonous snake to bite her.
At the moment when he went to the war and couldn't get through the news, Luo Xiaoqi immediately took another telegram and sent it to Zhang Junyao's home, the content on which looked like a receipt written to Zhang Junyao, hoping to continue to cooperate next time. And the plan for this cooperation is clearly listed.
She bought off a few servants in Zhang Junyao's house, and people who corresponded with him at work, although this telegram could only be seen by Zhang Junyao, but after a few rounds of lingering, it would also be in the hands of General Zhao.
Luo Xiaoqi opened the newspaper and looked at the small story on it, obviously not as happy as the big plot of the brothers turning against each other in her heart, although this small telegram would not make General Zhao and Zhang Junyao tear their faces, but there was still a little estrangement between them, and with the estrangement, General Zhao's aggrieved flame would not occupy the time to face her, and her purpose was achieved.
So what a 'heroine' she thinks she is a big tumor, covered in sewage, and has no high moral thoughts. Even if he promised Shen Ye to change his evil and return to righteousness, but the idea of perfecting people and not did it intensified.
There is now a large board in the newspaper that is even funnier than Zhang Junyao, talking about her goodness, implicitly holding up her other businesses besides buying murder business, and also saying that Luo Xiaoqi is also clean and neat, without harming others and himself, relying on innocence instead of guilt.
The more she read, the more she felt that this article was full of loopholes, and she couldn't help but giggle out loud when she looked at it, you must know that it is easy to ruin a person's reputation, but it is difficult to clear a person's innocence.
It is not easy for this article to go the other way, but Luo Xiaoqi didn't know that this article was written by Shen Yeling.
So in the past few days, in addition to teaching opera and singing, Shen Yeling also bought a large piece of the newspaper with the reporter Huang next door and posted the article he wrote for a week.
He struggled on the table for a long time, and gradually looked at the cold pool outside the window wrapped in a thin layer of snow, and thought about it for a long time before publishing this article, undoubtedly wanting to use the pen to let the Xunyang people improve their views of Luo Xiaoqi.
He hid his name and came up with a pen name. However, because the writing is as subtle as Shen Yeling's, how can the people who only know vernacular understand this truth, this article has not been recognized by the public, and even Luo Xiaoqi himself is not convinced.
At this time, several radical scholars wrote several long articles one after another, with their spicy ridicule of Luo Xiaoqi and criticism of Shen Yeling's article, which attracted applause from the public.
Shen Yeling reluctantly wrote a long reply to these writers overnight, explaining that he did not tolerate Luo Xiaoqi's previous mistakes in writing this article, and it was not right to buy murderous light to kill, but why don't you believe that Luo Xiaoqi has other kindness with another mentality, maybe Luo Xiaoqi already has the idea of reforming himself.
His writing was subtle and restrained, and a day after he appeared in the newspaper, several articles came down again and again, and the direct publication of this article in the newspaper was all a fallacy
So a clash of ideas in the newspaper began, and it was not enough for the writer to comment on one newspaper, so he went to another newspaper and began to scold back, so that Shen Yeling had to write a few more articles overnight and multiple newspapers posted different articles, but with the same name, for receipt. Shen Yeling single-handedly flipped through the classics to respond to this group of people with articles, Shen Yeling's approach was as literary as others, and only those who read the newspaper in the morning could taste the excitement.
There have been articles in the newspaper that exonerated Luo Xiaoqi before, but it was not as persistent as Shen Yeling alone, he would publish many articles every day, and there were a few words of praise that were mentioned with relish, and he was the only one. As a result, many newspapers have solicited articles to invite Shen Yeling to be the gold medal screenwriter of their newspaper. The point is no longer in the article.
Luo Xiaoqi has been looking back at the newspaper about herself in the past few days, and feels that these people are really stupid, for the sake of these famous people, the scolding of Wen Crepe has turned her, who was originally the protagonist, into an outsider watching them fight.
But inadvertently, Jiang Yuan rushed over in a hurry, holding the same newspaper as her, and solemnly pointed out an article telling her that it was Shen Yeling who wrote an article for her in recent days, although Luo Xiaoqi said that he couldn't see it, but Jiang Yuan was also a teacher who taught him to write, how could Jiang Yuan not recognize the style of writing.
Luo Xiaoqi read the article submitted by Jiang Yuan, revealing between the lines the belief of saying good things for her, Jiang Yuan sighed: "Huai'an looked for me before, how do you want me to persuade you to stop buying murder knives, what the people of Xunyang think of you, of course you don't care, but he cares."
Luo Xiaoqi sighed in her heart, fortunately, her heart was not so completely black, and it was still a little red in the middle, to perceive human nature, and to make repentance and guilt: "Go to Chunheyuan to find Mr. Shen."
A group of maids, who listened to the errands, loaded Luo Xiaoqi into the car again, but when they arrived in Chunheyuan, they were one step late, and they had already been invited away by Zhang Raoshun.
Immediately patted himself and went to Zhang Raoshun's mansion to ask for someone, under her forced hard pull, Zhang Raoshun compromised and brought Shen Yeling back, and then searched his intestines and persuaded him to stop writing manuscripts for himself, because it was not worth it. As for why it's not worth it, Luo Xiaoqi didn't say anything about her deceiving Shen Ye to change her ways.
However, Shen Yeling is much more stubborn than his dumb uncle more than ten years ago, and he will not compromise on anything, he has a hesitant system, and his eyes reveal stubbornness, plus he is the only elder recognized by Luo Xiaoqi. As a result, Luo Xiaoqi had no choice but to let Shen Yeling go, and she was very ashamed to arrange several literati and writers to help Shen Yeling write together, and Shen Yeling's team could make her feel more at ease.
Luo Xiaoqi felt even more distressed about Shen Yeling according to this incident, so he went to him to lower his posture and prepare to be a filial son and grandson, but unfortunately every time he went, he was preempted by Zhang Raoshun every time. Luo Xiaoqi had just finished Zhang Junyao, and then he became a team to protect Shen Yeling, and grabbed people with Zhang Raoshun.
Every time Zhang Raoshun invited Shen Yeling to be a guest, he would be cut off by Luo Xiaoqi not long after he first went to his house. Luo Xiaoqi and him had many ways to rob Shen Yeling, and there were many people who came to cut off Hu. Sometimes she personally invited and sometimes called Jiang Yuan, sometimes she called Cheng Jiabai, Cheng Jiabai did not make many moves, every time it was one or two sentences, Zhang Raoshun handed people over.
After repeating this a few times, as soon as Zhang Rao Shun invited Shen Yeling to his home, he was able to say two sentences first, and without waiting for the person sent by Luo Xiaoqi to come to the door, he also handed over the person himself.
He knew that Shen Yeling was very popular, and even Luo Xiaoqi liked it, but when he knew that Shen Yeling was invited by Cui Dashan to have a complete meal, he knew that Luo Xiaoqi was clearly unable to get along with himself, and this method made him feel uncomfortable.
In this way, Zhang Rao Shun even wanted to invite Shen Yeling, but he didn't let Shen Yeling go with Luo Xiaoqi. After such an early winter, the colder time came, and on the two high mountains outside the city gate, the snow had accumulated so much that it had climbed up to the calves, and the northwest wind still liked to blow on people's faces, and they had to scratch people's faces.
Their open and secret battles between you and me are also non-stop in this upcoming cold New Year, and this kind of invitation is not lacking in those who are delicate, saying that Boss Shen of Chunhe Courtyard always drills into Zhang Zhen's guard car and goes to the outside of Luo Xiaoqi's car. He was originally a famous singer in the capital who has always been popular, but here he has become a favorite who has won the favor of the two big men in Xunyang.
Shen Yeling didn't think so much about this matter, he was sandwiched between the two, and he gradually got used to it from the original discomfort, only thinking about how to write an article to Luo Xiaoqi quietly at night, and didn't care about any news from the outside world.
And Luo Xiaoqi was thinking about whether she would have to stalemate with Zhang Raoshun to rob Shen Yeling like this during the New Year, it was better to find a secluded corner and beat Zhang Raoshun, she couldn't see anyone, and obviously she wouldn't rob Shen Yeling with herself again.
So thinking like this, a servant hurriedly came over, whispered a few words in her ear, but was not heard, handed her a note, and quietly pushed it away, she almost forgot about the arrangement for Zhang San, that person is really a bag to inquire, and the fugitive who Xunyang wants to arrest knows in Wuyi Mountain in the suburbs.
