Chapter 97: Lu Haodong (Asking for a Monthly Pass!) )
The people in the south did not have any good impression of the Qing court.
Even compared to the mentality of the people in the north who are afraid of the government, these local people who have been colonized for a long time are even more courageous.
Because the invaders have broken everyone's perception that the government is the sky, it turns out that those who are as powerful as officials are not bullshit in front of foreigners.
Xiao Liuzi, a little coachman, dared to open his mouth to insult the government, which shows the extent to which the Qing court is immoral.
It's just that Feng Ji is not concerned about the Qing court's loss of popular support at this time, but the whereabouts of Wang Wu.
Liu Yongfu left Guangzhou and went to Annan to assist in defense, did Wang Wu go with him?
As he was thinking, there was a sudden crowd of people ahead, and street vendors moved out of the way.
There was a sound of musical instrument percussion in the distance, and the coachman Xiao Liuzi also quickly stopped to avoid it, and quickly said: "Master, quickly dodge, it's the White Lotus Sect parade street." ”
Feng Ji raised his eyebrows and looked at the road not far away where the crowd had moved away.
But I saw a group of people dressed in white walking towards them, carrying a huge papier-mâché statue of a childless mother, surrounded by mages protecting the Dharma, and the band playing.
At the foreground walked a girl, carrying a white lantern and expressionless face, like a statue of a fairy Buddha in a temple.
There are disciples next to him who chant loudly: "The white lotus descends to earth, and all the people turn over!" ”
The team shouted in unison: "The white lotus descends to earth, and all the people turn over!" ”
"Kill all the foreigners and share the peace!"
"Kill all the foreigners and share the peace!"
"White Lotus Divine Sect, subduing demons and subduing demons!"
"White Lotus Divine Sect, subduing demons and subduing demons!"
……
Feng Ji couldn't help but show surprise on his face, this Southern White Lotus Sect was so rampant, he dared to preach on the street in front of the public!
"Little Sixth Son, the White Lotus Sect is so arrogant, the government doesn't care?"
When Xiao Liuzi heard this, he said in a low voice: "They want to manage it, but where can they manage it." ”
"Annan is fighting with the French, and the imperial court is going to send troops."
"Taiwan was invaded and occupied by the Japanese, and there will be a war."
"You are making trouble in the north of the Boxers, and you are also fighting."
"Now that there is a big war everywhere, how can the imperial court have the strength to manage the White Lotus Sect."
"Besides, the people of the White Lotus Sect are not anti-Qing, they are just anti-foreign religions and killing foreigners."
"The officials and gentlemen who are in charge will not care, unless the foreigners force them."
Feng Ji couldn't help but have a deeper understanding of the situation in the south.
"It seems that the Qing Dynasty is indeed approaching, and it feels like it has lost control of the south."
Feng Ji thought about it, and felt more and more that if he wanted to establish his power, he still had to gain a foothold in the south.
Now that the south is not under the control of the Qing court, it is a good time to seek territory.
At the same time, he also remembered that at the beginning of Mr. Sun's revolution, he also rose from the south.
I'm afraid there is also a reason for this.
Of course, since ancient times, most wars from the south to the north have been mostly lost.
Therefore, Feng Ji can develop his forces in the south, but he can't leave the forces in the north behind.
As the White Lotus Sect's team left, his thoughts gradually converged.
Xiao Liuzi took Feng Ji and continued to walk towards the place on the address.
It didn't take long for the streets to clear up and the surroundings to look much cleaner.
There are also more facades around the building.
"This is Nanqiao, which is a well-known location on our side, and it is a place where rich people stay."
"Master, you look like a rich man."
Feng Ji smiled and didn't say anything.
After a while, Xiao Liuzi stopped in front of a Western-style building.
Feng Ji glanced at the garden-like manor and said, "This is it?" ”
"That's the address on your note."
"This seems to be the Lu family, is the surname of the person you are looking for is Lu?"
Feng Ji nodded slightly and said, "That's it, I'm sorry for you, little sixth son." ”
"Hey, it's all within my responsibility, master, if you still use the car in the future, just go to the dock to find me."
Feng Ji smiled and asked, "How much can you earn by driving for a day?" ”
"Uh, what are you asking for?" Xiao Liuzi was stunned.
"Little Liuzi, I first came to Guangzhou, the place is not familiar, I need someone to do it, how much do you earn by pulling a car a day, how much do I drive for you, I am in Guangzhou during this time, you follow me, how about it?"
"Huh? This...... Is this true? I work hard a day, and I can pull dozens of cars, at least fifty or sixty copper plates. Xiao Liuzi was pleasantly surprised and hurriedly confirmed.
Feng Ji didn't talk nonsense, handed out a silver ingot from his sleeve, and said, "Look at it, how long is this silver ingot enough?" ”
Xiao Liuzi was ecstatic, and hurriedly took the silver ingot and bit it into his mouth, but when he saw a row of tooth marks on the silver ingot, he was immediately overjoyed.
After weighing it again, this silver ingot was afraid that it would weigh ten taels, and he suddenly knelt down and kowtowed excitedly.
"Master, the villain is willing, willing, don't worry, what dirty work do you have next, even if you tell the villain, the villain will definitely sell his strength!"
Feng Ji smiled, helped the other party up, and said, "Then say okay, you follow me for a few days." ”
"Oops."
Xiao Liuzi nodded again and again, and the others were also smart, and immediately said, "Master, what do I call you outside?" Master? Boss? Mr? ”
Feng Ji smiled: "My surname is Feng Mingji, just call me young master." ”
"Okay, young master, then I'll call the door for you."
Xiao Liuzi hurriedly got up and took the initiative to call the door at the door of Lu's house.
Feng Ji stood aside and waited.
After a while, an old man from inside hurried in.
The other party didn't open the door, but just looked through the iron door and said, "Who are you looking for?" ”
Xiao Liuzi hurriedly smiled and said, "Old man, our young master is a friend of Mr. Lu and wants to visit Mr. Lu." ”
"Your young master? Which young master? ”
Feng Ji walked over and smiled at the old man: "Uncle, in Xia Feng Ji, from Jinmen, is Mr. Lu Hao and Mr. Lu at home?" ”
"Tsumon...... Hey, you're the young master of the Feng family, right? Please, please, our young master has already told the old slave. ”
The old man opened the iron door to greet Feng Ji.
Xiao Liuzi hurriedly pulled the car into the manor.
The lawn in the yard is neat, the greenery is dense, and the gazebo is not Chinese style, but European and American style.
Feng Ji was slightly distracted, and in a trance, he had the illusion of returning to modern times.
This house is out of place in this era.
The old man smiled: "Young Master Feng? Our young master has gone out to run errands, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to come back for a while, so I'll take you around first? ”
Feng Ji came back to his senses and said with a smile: "What do you call it?" ”
"Young Master Feng just calls me Lu Dayou, I am the housekeeper of the Lu family."
"Uncle You."
"Oops, don't dare to be, don't dare to be."
"You are the same age as my father, you should be called Uncle You, Uncle You, I want to ask Mr. Lu if he has found his sister?"
When Uncle You heard this, he shook his head slightly: "I don't know about this old man." ”
Feng Ji frowned slightly, Uncle You is the housekeeper of the Lu family, if he doesn't know, it means that the eldest sister is not in the Lu family.
In this way, I am afraid that Lu Haodong did not find the eldest sister.
Feng Ji couldn't help but be a little worried in her heart, the current situation in Guangzhou was complicated, the White Lotus Sect, foreigners, gangsters, and forces were entangled, and she didn't know if there was any danger.
"It seems that we have to go to the Duan family to find it."
Feng Ji immediately asked, "Uncle You, do you know where Dongqian Street is?" ”
"East Front Street? It's already a Japanese concession over there, and you're going to the concession? ”
Feng Ji knew that the Duan family was ruined because of the concession matter.
nodded immediately: "Yes, I want to go to the concession." ”
"I'm afraid it's not easy, the Japanese concession is very strict with external precautions, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter."
"Why?"
"Naturally, it was a big defeat in the First Sino-Japanese War, and there were demonstrations everywhere to resist Japan."
Uncle You frowned at Feng Ji, and couldn't help but say, "In this way, Young Master Feng, why don't you stay first, wait for the young master to come back in the evening, and let the young master think of a way to see if he can dredge up the relationship and take you in." ”
"Our young master has gone to Nanyang to study, maybe there is a way, don't be impatient, this journey is also hard, rest and rest first, how about it?"
Feng Ji thought about it, nodded slightly, and agreed to Uncle You's suggestion.
At the moment, he is not familiar with Guangzhou, and he doesn't know what the situation of the Duan family is or where the eldest sister's family is.
Maybe Lu Haodong has investigated a lot of things during this time, and he went out to look for it indiscriminately, which is not very efficient.
Clean up your mood at the moment and stay at the Lu family.
At the same time, he asked Xiao Liuzi to go back and clean up, and wait for him at the door tomorrow morning.
Entering the living room, Uncle You poured a cup of tea for Feng Ji and said with a smile: "Young Master Feng came from afar to taste this big red robe from Fujian." ”
Feng Ji picked up the teacup, took a sip lightly, and said with a smile: "The tea is fragrant, good tea." ”
Uncle You was overjoyed and said, "Young Master Feng's first time in Guangzhou? ”
"Well, it's the first time I've come."
"It's not a good time to come to Guangzhou now, recently the White Lotus Sect took advantage of the impact of the defeat in the First Sino-Japanese War and began to come out to preach, and the streets were very chaotic."
"Feng Mou came over and saw it, Uncle You, do you know General Liu Yongfu?"
"General Liu, who doesn't know? That's a big hero, if it weren't for him and his Black Flag Army, we wouldn't know what it would be like to be bullied by foreigners. ”
When Feng Ji heard this, he hurriedly asked, "General Liu has gone to Annan now, but his Black Flag Army has gone with him?" ”
Uncle You shook his head: "No, General Liu's Black Flag Army only took away a small group of elites, and most of them were dismissed by the imperial court." ”
Feng Ji frowned: "Dismissed?" Have you ever heard of the Black Flag Army's broadsword team? ”
"Broadsword? I've heard of it, but I'm not familiar with it, who are you looking for? ”
"I am an old friend with Wang Wu, the captain of the Broadsword Team, the Black Flag Army has been disbanded, and I don't know if he is still in Guangzhou."
Uncle You couldn't help but smile and said, "You have to go to Bao Zhilin to ask about this." ”
Feng Ji was stunned: "Bao Zhilin? ”
"Yes, I heard that although General Liu's Black Flag Army was dismissed, those elites did not go back, but Master Huang Feihong of Bao Zhilin took the lead and formed a militia in Foshan, waiting for General Liu's dispatch at any time."
"Your friend may be in the militia of Bao Zhilin."
When Feng Ji heard this, he couldn't help but look strange.
Vigilantes? Once Upon a Time?
Did you meet the plot of the Huang Feihong series?
Feng Ji couldn't help but ask a few more words in detail, and finally determined that Huang Feihong here is really Huang Feihong in the movie world!
While the two were talking, they heard a laugh outside.
"Uncle You, where is Brother Daoke?"
"Is Brother Dow here?"
At the door, a thin young man in a dress and tie walked quickly.
The young man was about thirty years old, wearing a round hat, a beard at the corners of his mouth, and leather shoes under his feet.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw Feng Ji.
With a look of joy on his face, he hurriedly stretched out his hands and shouted, "Brother Daoke? ”
Seeing this, Feng Ji also stood up, shook hands with the other party, and said with a smile: "It's Feng." ”
"I have admired the name for a long time, Brother Daoke, Jinsun mentioned the heroes of the north to me several times, saying that among the Jinmen, if you talk about martial arts, you should be the first, when he said that you were coming to Guangzhou, I was excited all night, please sit, please sit."
Lu Haodong was quite polite and very enthusiastic.
Feng Ji said, 'Don't dare to be', and sat down.
After a few words of greeting, Feng Ji got to the point and asked, "Brother Haodong, I don't know what Brother Jinsun asked you in the telegram, do you have eyebrows?" ”
When Lu Haodong heard this, he couldn't help but look ashamed, and said, "Sister Ling's matter, I can't handle it, I'm really sorry." ”
Feng Ji frowned: "Brother Haodong, what happened?" Where are they, my eldest sister? ”
