Chapter 786: Old Dengzang's Death
Originally, there was a margin in the drill, just in case of the worst.
When it was really implemented, the anti-donation team really did it with ease.
Qi Zhenlu and Yu Chenglin led the crowd to the east of the city and saw Lu Fuji and others waiting at the door.
The two sides met, and Qi Zhenlu was surprised: "Where did the horses come from?" ”
There is a kind of relief that someone called Didi when he went out.
Lu Fuji made a long story short and told Mr. Xiao of his calculations.
Qi Zhenlu and Yu Chenglin exclaimed in unison.
This is also too godly!
Counting birds with one stone, interlocking, worthy of being Zhao Chuanxin's big disciple!
"Where's the little gentleman?"
"Mr. Xiao asked us to go first, he wants to take some thoughts with him."
"Wang Zuocai and Zhang Fulin, can you catch them?"
"I caught it, but I stayed in the city, guarded by our brothers from the Elders' Association, and Mr. Little said they still had a good use."
When they left the city, the important members got on their horses and galloped, and the rest blended into the crowd of people.
When they arrived in Yongchang District, Qi Zhenlu, Yu Chenglin, Lu Fuji and others met with Li Feihu.
The four of them gathered together: "Okay, it went so smoothly, and no one was lost!" ”
Originally, in history, the four brothers were much more miserable, Li Feihu and Yu Chenglin were killed on the spot, and the remaining two were like lost dogs.
The little gentleman who shocked the four of them was not very old, and how could he be so thoughtful, it was really incredible.
But Yu Chenglin still has something unclear: "Liu Ai, why did you release Mei Shunan before?" He has not yet agreed to a treble tax waiver. ”
Liu Ai pinched his waist with both hands and smiled softly: "Mr. Xiao said that what you have done is nothing more than anti-donation tax exemption." Even if Mei Shunan is coerced on the spot to agree, if he goes back on his word afterwards, what we do is just useless. It's better to let him be scared and let him figure it out for himself. ”
A few people thought, that's really what happened.
They do things by claiming justice and passion.
If Benjamin Goldberg had to teach them how to speak beforehand, I was afraid that it would make them unhappy, would they need guidance even to open their mouths? deliberately when Mei Shunan thought that Yu Chenglin was pinching and everyone was out of words, Liu Ai suddenly opened his mouth again and gave a fatal blow......
It's still Mr. Xiao who is thoughtful.
Everyone admired a little more.
Liu Ai added: "If we want to win the final victory, we still need to do one thing well. ”
The four of them asked in unison, "What's the matter?" ”
"Hide, hide, don't be caught by Mei Shunan!" Liu Ai was triumphant. "As long as I don't catch the organizer, Mei Shunan will have trouble sleeping, because I put my words there, and there will be a second and third ...... in the future."
The four of them pondered, and sure enough, they all became excited, feeling that everything they had done today was endowed with an aura called "hope".
Qi Zhenlu said: "I didn't show up, so I don't have to hide, right?" ”
Liu Ai said to him meaningfully: "There is an old elm tree in the path outside your backyard. Under the stone slab behind the old elm tree, something was hidden. When you are in danger, you can stop by and take it. ”
Qi Zhenlu was stunned: "If it's not dangerous, you don't have to take it?" ”
"It's not dangerous, and there won't be anything down there, anyway, that's what Mr. Xiao said."
It's kind of interesting.
Qi Zhenlu went home, Yu Chenglin, Lu Fuji and Li Feihu, because they showed their faces, they went out to take refuge.
King changed his name and Aries and was following Benjamin Goldberg outside his arsenal and ammunition factory in the southwest corner of the city.
Benjamin Goldberg took out the Ecstasy lamp and said something in his mouth.
The king changed his name and the white sheep watched in shock, and the dry air suddenly became moist, and the milky white mist floated mysteriously.
The rustic building immediately has a bit of the taste of the fairy palace, and after each mysterious fog, it seems like a barefoot immortal who can jump out at any time.
Too dry is an uncomfortable experience, Wang changed his name and Aries greedily breathed in the mist, moistened nasal passages, and breathed more comfortably than ever.
Benjamin Goldberg looked at the intoxicated two and reminded: "Take that death, and then you will really take drugs later." ”
"Why did Mr. Little say that?"
"Don't ask, follow me and plug your mouth and nose with this wet towel."
He himself wore a simple gas mask that he had made with Zhao Chuanxin on the ship.
Walking inside with the Ecstasy Lamp, the fog of Benjamin Goldberg's path automatically dispersed, making way for a narrow passage.
Wang changed his name and covered his mouth and nose, looked left and right sneakily, and heard a few "poofs".
It was a soldier who had fallen to the ground.
The two looked at each other in surprise.
They all understand that the fog is poisonous!
Thinking about this section, the two of them were dripping in cold sweat, and they were still drunk and sucked a lot just now.
Unbeknownst to them, the Ecstasy Lamp was in the hands of Benjamin Goldberg, because he had mastered the mystery of the spell, and he was able to exert the strength of the Ecstasy Lamp better than his master.
It can be classified into different types to store mist, ranging from simple water vapor to toxic mist and flammable substances, barnacle glue and so on. Toxic fog is divided into anesthetic type and highly toxic type, and the narcotic type of toxic fog is used at this time......
The ecstasy lamp is in Zhao Chuanxin's hands, as if he is taking a 10W high-end computer, but he uses it to watch videos on the web page. Benjamin Goldberg, on the other hand, was able to tap into its full capabilities.
Groping all the way, from time to time someone fell, and the three of them entered the arsenal.
Benjamin Goldberg said, "Be fast, the fog doesn't last long." ”
It's too dry.
On the weapon rack, there are all kinds of fast guns, and there are all kinds of knives and bows.
The ancient Martini Henry rifle, Maozi's old Bordan rifle, and even the breech rice pinch gun that was withdrawn in the tide of gun replacement in Europe and the United States around 1870 were sold to the Qing court at that time.
Benjamin Goldberg scratched his head: "No, this must not be a full arsenal, what a thing!" ”
Wang changed his name and Aries usually use knives, and whoever has a fast gun in the rivers and lakes is already very remarkable.
"Isn't that good?" Wang changed his name and said as he touched a Dreiser's pistol.
Aries nodded: "It's just ......"
Benjamin Goldberg was helpless, took out the pocket technology, and opened the bag: "Quick, put it inside." ”
These are as different from the weapons he designed with his master. But thieves don't go empty!
Wang changed his name and was obedient, and directly stuffed the gun inside, but found that the bag was still so big and unchanged.
The Aries did not believe in evil, and also filled it with a handful, and the bag was the same size as ever.
The two were shocked.
There's a lot in the bag!
Sure enough, Zhao Chuanxin's disciples also know magic and have magic weapons.
Picking and choosing, loading some guns and ammunition, Benjamin Goldberg put the bag away: "Go." ”
Outside, the battalion of infantry has entered the city to investigate and arrest key criminals, and the large goods have not been caught, and there are three or two small fish and shrimp.
If you want to extort a confession, you just have a tiger in the face, and the people who are making trouble over there already know everything.
"Just shout after them, I really don't know anything......"
"Don't beat me, I said, I came with the second son of Liu Laoqi's family, I heard that the anti-donation, my family couldn't open the pot, so I got into the team......"
Among the officers and soldiers, one of the general names was Liu Zuoming, who caught a man whose hand was almost cut off, and only then did he find some useful clues.
I was about to make a move, but I saw a thin mist rising from the southwest of the city.
Liu Zuoming's heart tightened, it hadn't rained in Liangzhou for more than 600 days, where did the fog come from?
If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, so he hurriedly took someone to investigate.
By the time he reached the arsenal, the mist had faded.
The thin mist rolled and seemed to be coming out.
At this moment, from the old fog, a new fog poured out.
Liu Zuoming saw for the first time that even the fog can be multi-layered.
White, black......
Suddenly, a flash of fire appeared, and a "fire dragon" churned out of the fog and surged towards the officers and soldiers.
"Fire Dragon, Fire Dragon!"
"This is demonic energy, everyone run away......"
Liu Zuoming didn't pay attention and didn't stop him, and his soldiers scattered.
The treacherous fog and the fire dragon that appeared out of thin air gave them an irresistible sense of fear.
When Benjamin Goldberg, Aries and Wang changed their names and came out of the fog, the officers and soldiers were gone.
Wang changed his name and threw away an empty matchbox and asked, "Little sir, how can we get rid of it?" ”
The fire dragon just now is naturally the masterpiece of the three of them.
It may scare away the officers and soldiers once, but it can scare them away every time.
Benjamin Goldberg smiled: "I still have a hand, come with me." ”
Wang Changming and Aries walked down the street in some trepidation, they didn't have Benjamin Goldberg's confidence.
There was a sudden commotion ahead.
The road is surrounded by pedestrians, with three inner and outer three floors.
The king's ears moved, and a voice came through the crowd.
It seems to say: "I am Zhang Fulin, I am in the country of animal fish and meat." ”
"I'm Wang Zuocai, I'm a beast bullying and dominating the market."
The two voices intersected, and the tone was frustrated and frustrated, one after the other.
Wang changed his name and Aries were very curious, but this was not the time to watch the excitement, and they just thought about bypassing and leaving.
Benjamin Goldberg put away the ecstasy lamp and stepped forward to pull the crowd: "Eh, eh, let's let me, crowd here and rush across the bridge?" Don't push, push me again, I'm really unqualified......"
The king changed his name and Aries: "......"
The two had to bite the bullet and squeeze into the crowd after them.
Benjamin Goldberg shouted as he walked: "Fathers and fellow villagers, look at these two people who relied on their identities as police gentry and arrest hall to cause trouble in the township, cut themselves off from the people, and ended up so miserable." Revenge for revenge, revenge for grievances, no revenge and no resentment, at least kick your feet to relieve hatred......"
Wang Gaiming and Aries also saw the two men in the center, stripped of their shirts and kneeling on the ground, with a tight hood over their heads and hands tied behind their backs.
Their bodies were blue and purple, all traces of the whipping.
I didn't suffer less, and I didn't know where I was when I was beaten, just repeating a sentence mechanically.
These two goods have been in Liangzhou for a long time, and it is really relieving to see them like this.
But the king changed his name but didn't have the heart to look at it, and he wanted to go up and cover Benjamin Goldberg's mouth.
It's too late for us to hide, you have to shout loudly!
Wang changed his name and saw many officers and soldiers in the crowd.
The crowd was stirred up by Benjamin Goldberg, and sure enough, there were people who had been exploited eager to try it.
The first tried to go up and kick it, and then there was the second......
As many people went up to beat up the two, Benjamin Goldberg made his way through the crowd.
Someone who came after him asked him, "What happened?" ”
Benjamin Goldberg said: "Oh, it's the police gentleman Wang Zuocai and the arrest hall Zhang Fulin, the two of them have been punished by heaven, call relatives and friends to take revenge, otherwise it will be too late." ”
The man passed the word back, and the whole street boiled.
When an officer heard that the arrest hall and the gentry were arrested by the people, they paid it back and hurried to rescue them.
Benjamin Goldberg took the king to change his name, and Aries passed by these officers and soldiers.
The king's name change and Aries' body was as stiff as a stone, and only Benjamin Goldberg was fine, striding with a stride that his six relatives did not recognize.
Soon out of the South Gate......
Aries had previously participated in kidnapping the two, and only then did he know that Mr. Little had left the two to the end in order to pave the way for his escape.
What a last resort!
Wang changed his name and smiled bitterly: "Little sir, you really want to scare me to death!" Why are you yelling so loudly? ”
Benjamin Goldberg smiled: "My master said that as long as the heart is not empty, a thief is not a thief." What are you two afraid of? Let's walk, who do you think the officers and soldiers are arresting? ”
Looking at each other, Wang Changming and Aries turned blue because of nervousness, but Benjamin Goldberg was more like a well-fed landlord's stupid child.
Who appears suspicious is self-explanatory.
Liangzhou's anti-donation action is actually not rigorous.
Wang Gaiming, Bai Aries, Liu Ai, Yu Chenglin, Lu Fuji and Li Feihu either have detailed backgrounds or portraits, and they are all wanted.
But the officers and soldiers did not catch anyone, and these people disappeared.
was at a loss, and the county magistrate Mei Shunan gave a clue.
A group of officers and soldiers, outside the door of the female instructor He Huizhen's house, guarded Qi Zhenhai, who had rushed to offer his courtesy.
The officers and soldiers didn't say a word, and tied up Qi Zhenhai.
Qi Zhenhai was naturally afraid, but he still wanted to carry it.
It's just that when he saw He Huizhen's cold expression, he realized that something was wrong.
"Miss He, you ......"
"I warned you not to come at night, but you didn't listen." He Huizhen pursed her lips and said.
"This ...... You ......"
It did happen.
Qi Zhenhai was betrayed by his beloved woman, and suddenly all thoughts were lost.
In an instant, the heavens and the earth were pale, and the moon turned pale.
He laughed miserably, poured beans into the bamboo tube, and explained everything.
The officers and soldiers immediately took people and went to Qi Zhenlu's house.
Qi Zhenlu never expected that his brother Qi Zhenhai would betray himself.
I didn't expect that it would overturn because of a woman.
When the neighbor came to the door and gave him an early warning that the officers and soldiers were about to come to the door, Qi Zhenlu didn't have time to clean up the softness, didn't have time to say goodbye to his family, and ran directly through the back door.
He ran on the front leg, and the officers and soldiers chased after him.
Qi Zhenlu ran for a mile and suddenly saw the big elm tree.
There is a stone slab behind the tree.
He listened, and the pursuers were coming.
How far can you run unarmed?
He remembered what Liu Ai had said, and hurriedly went to turn over the slate.
Suddenly there was a thirteen Taibao and some ammunition placed underneath, as well as a money bag.
Open the money bag, and there is a note inside.
Qi Zhenlu perked up: Yes, it must be the escape strategy given by Mr. Xiao.
Open the note, and there are only two words on it - Run!
Qi Zhenlu: "......"
This style is very Zhao Chuanxin, very Benjamin......
Qi Zhenlu couldn't cry or laugh, and felt that this big disciple of Zhao Chuanxin was really like a god, and regretted not listening to him.
……
Zhao Chuanxin originally thought that he would go back to Liangzhou and handle Qi Zhenlu's protest against the donation.
For Zhao Chuanxin, it is as simple as eating and drinking.
However, he received a telegram from the Lan-Prefecture capital to the Kaiping Mining Bureau.
After reading it, the tea I just drank squirted out.
"Ahem......"
Rebecca Levi patted him on the back and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"Benjamin's little shriveled calf, now his wings are stiff!"
This telegram sent to him is different from what everyone involved in the anti-donation campaign knows.
Everyone praised Mr. Little for his last resort.
Only in this telegram did some of Benjamin Goldberg's true intentions be revealed.
This kid is playing a big game of chess.
He led a group of people to resist the donation, and he retired successfully, the main leaders were not damaged, Zhang Fulin was beaten to death by the people, and the police gentry Wang Zuocai was embarrassed and had no face.
As a result, it is rumored that Liangzhou will soon be exempted from the flower tax and deed tax, and the people are jubilant.
Perhaps for the people of Liangzhou at this time, the exemption from spending taxes gave them a way to live.
But it is actually not beneficial to the country, because it will encourage opium cultivation and trade, which will only make this thing more widespread and make the situation of Liangzhou without food even more out of control.
Sure enough, this good news made the price of tobacco soar.
In the world of Liangzhou, all commodities are rising.
Of course, those who pull prices are businessmen, and the people can only passively accept it.
In Liangzhou City, a large quantity of goods was suddenly thrown out, including shuttle cloth, coarse cloth, silk, shoes and socks, paper cigarettes, traditional Chinese medicine, dyes, sesame oil, cotton thread and all kinds of foreign goods...... Among them, there are many furs and camel hairs from Tibet.
Before the businessmen noticed that something was wrong, news came that Mei Shunan, the magistrate, had found the real boss behind the scenes-Qi Zhenlu.
claims to wipe out this group of thieves.
Good guys, the people were in the mood of the clouds, and suddenly fell to the bottom.
Where does this mean exempting the spending tax, it is clearly to suppress it to the end!
Taxes and miscellaneous taxes have not decreased.
And a group of businessmen inexplicably lost a sum of money.
Especially those merchants who take advantage of the situation to hoard strange goods.
Qi Zhenlu and Qi Zhenhai, Mei Shunan, Zhang Fulin, Wang Zuocai and others, regardless of whether they are in the enemy camp, can never think of it, and their various reactions have already been calculated.
After this protest, Qi Zhenlu, Yu Chenglin, Lu Fuji, Li Feihu and others, as well as the huge group of "Elders' Association" who were deeply involved with them, all bowed down to the "Little Mister".
Now in the border of Liangzhou, anyone who sees a gold-rimmed hat and a long-pole cigarette pouch must be a member of the Elders' Church......
This is just the tip of the iceberg of Benjamin Goldberg's operation, and he has many more plans, which are not detailed on the telegram.
The telegram was first sent to Li Guangzong, and Li Guangzong then forwarded it to Zhao Chuanxin.
In the end, Li Guangzong added: You are a disciple, he should still have a lot of things to say......
Zhao Chuanxin rubbed his chin and wondered in his heart: What does this little deflated calf want to do?
What exactly does Benjamin Goldberg want to do?
The honest dun and the idle Gulzar asked this question.
Benjamin Goldberg is holding a ruler and pen down, writing and drawing on paper.
At this point, he did not inherit the master's craftsmanship, and his writing was sloppy and his painting was terrible.
"I'm just curious, just to see if things will go the way I expected. By the way, Liu Ai, let you send someone to contact the Hankou Juanwang Technical Institute to build a machine, did the telegram send out? ”
Liu Ai gritted his teeth: "Send it out, but the machine is expensive, it's better to buy ready-made miles and buy cheap ...... from foreigners."
"Money is a piece of fart, don't you want it at any time? I want to see how fast those stupid students progress under my high pressure......"
Gulzar was relatively innocent, and her eyes widened: "Benjamin, are you doing so much just because of curiosity?" ”
"Yes, little master, otherwise what? In this world, the only thing that worries me is my master's treasures, the old Dengzang's death, why don't you blow the wind on the pillow of the little master, let him pass on two more ......"
"Phew, less gibberish!" Gulzar's face was red.
And Lao Deng Zhao passed on his salary, and after learning that his apprentice played everyone in Liangzhou in the palm of his hand, he felt that life was really lonely like snow.
I thought that resisting donations or something would be as easy for me to eat and drink.
At this time, he found out that it was just a gesture for his apprentice......
Zhao Chuanxin got up and went to the canteen of the Mining Bureau.
coincided with the fat pig that was just killed today, and the cook made a nine-turn large intestine!
Zhao Chuanxin took out a pot of burning pot: "Come on, come on, Yu Qi, Xilong, don't leave today, let's hold a cup in the left hand and the right hand wheel, and the cup in the right hand and the left hand wheel......"
Yu Qi: "......"
Zhao Xilong: "......"
Zhao Chuanxin raised his glass frequently, and soon the two of them were stunned.
Rebecca Levi pushed Zhao Chuanxin's arm: "Don't drink, look at their ......"
Their eyes were already straight.
Zhao Chuanxin's face did not change.
He laughed, got up and said: "My big apprentice thinks that he has obtained a bit of true inheritance, but he doesn't know that the most proud ability of his master is not to get drunk in a thousand cups, and to be an immortal in wine. ”
The workers and staff who came and went looked at Zhao Chuanxin, who was not drunk, in awe.
I rub, it's a Bacchus.
One person turns two people left and right, and he two massive people, and he is fine.
Workers set up Yu Qi and Zhao Xilong and prepared to send them back to their homes.
Zhao Chuanxin and Rebecca Levi go out.
Zhao Chuanxin looked at the already dim sky and said, "You go back first." ”
"What about you? Where are you going? ”
"I don't need to worry about the big apprentice, I still have a little apprentice. When you go to the Yubin Mansion, you have to bring the little apprentice, and I will pick him up! ”
