Chapter 72 The Horse and the Gun

Liu Yanzhi felt extremely guilty and powerless, and he felt like ten thousand ants were biting his internal organs in his heart. Instead, he thought that he was carrying a greater mission. People a hundred years ago had already returned to dust and soil. Why bother with these passers-by who had disappeared in the long river of history? They had nothing to do with him.

But he could not face Miss Lin's resentful eyes. Even if time travel is a game for him, he should still play this game seriously. As a time traveler who turns history, since he has come, why not make him turn things around? Anyway, the chaotic times in the late Qing Dynasty were already chaotic enough, and this is not bad.

"You won't understand my identity even if you say it, but I can guarantee that your master is safe and sound, and even resume his post." Liu Yanzhi patted his chest and promised.

No one believed his words, and the master shook his head secretly. He followed Lord Lin for many years in the officialdom and knew the rules of the officialdom. There were not a single official who was re-activated after the dismissal, but those people made no fundamental mistakes. The biggest mistake in the officialdom was to stand in the wrong team. Lin Huaiyuan bet the wrong treasure at the critical moment. This case went straight to the heavens. It was an imperial decree issued by the Empress Dowager Lao Fu himself. This was an imperial case and could not be turned on any matter. The young man was not afraid of his tongue when he spoke loudly.

The housekeeper and the two concubines couldn't believe that the master was a criminal offender in the court and was probably escorted to the capital at this time. What awaited him would be the most severe punishment. Caishikou was beheaded and made public. Could this kid still be able to rob the law?

"I believe in you." Lin Suyingying bowed down.

Only Lin Su inexplicably believed Liu Yanzhi's words. From the first sight of this young man, she had an inexplicable affection and trust in Liu Yanzhi. Even after raiding her home and being imprisoned, she also had inexplicable fantasies and believed that "Zhao Zilong" would come to save her. The moment when Liu Yanzhi broke the iron chain, she became more convinced of her judgment that this mysterious strange man could create all miracles.

Liu Yanzhi was very moved and reached out to support him. However, Lin Su took a step back and prevented Liu Yanzhi from touching his body. When he was robbing prison, he was obeyed by the matter. Now it is a man and a woman who are not allowed to marry him. Miss Lin can understand the difference.

The housekeeper was eager to save the master, thinking that since this boy had made a boast of the sea, why not treat the dead horse as a living horse? It is better than watching the master's head and head, and he nodded and said, "Yi Shi Liu, I will believe you again."

Both concubines had no opinion and looked at Master Zhou. The Master was helpless and nodded, as if he had acquiesced.

It is okay to avoid the house behind the government office for a while. If you live for a long time, you will definitely show your strength. After dawn, you have to find the lower place. However, everyone is not covered in clothes and blood stains. If you go out rashly to attract attention, you have to change your clothes first.

The governor sent troops to copy Lin Huaiyuan's home, copied all the documents, books, poems and articles in the study to find evidence of crime. The officials who were in charge of the affairs also took away valuable antiques and jade artifacts, but the clothes and bedding in the east and west rooms were still there, and they just used seals to stick the door on it. At this point, no one cared about the seal that had been sealed by the governor's yamen. He opened the door and went into the house, looking for clothes, shoes and hats.

After changing into decent clean clothes, washing his face and combing his hair, he finally regained some self-esteem. The two concubines stopped crying, and the master and the housekeeper also got into the state, planning a plan for Liu Yanzhi to rescue the master.

Although there is no direct evidence, Master Zhou can basically confirm that Prefect Lin has been escorted to Beijing at this moment and is under three trials from the Ministry of Justice, Dali Temple and the Censorate. The next time is Qiu Hou's death, but according to Liu Yanzhi, the war is in full swing in Beijing and Tianjin, and there is a great opportunity to take advantage of it. Anyway, he has committed a heinous crime, so he doesn't care if he robs a prison car again.

Master Zhou said that there was a secretary in the governor's yamen named Zhang, and all the important official documents were passed by him. He wanted to find out the time and escorts of the prison car on the road and the route of traveling. He didn't have to sneak into the yamen to steal official documents, just look for Zhang's yamen.

The plan has been decided that it is not suitable to stay here for a long time. Liu Yanzhi took them out of the back door and scattered towards the Shuixi Gate. He met again after leaving the city gate. He committed a major case last night, and the government would definitely search for it. No inn is safe. Only by renting a boat to float on the Huai River can you ensure safety.

There are many passenger and cargo ships on the dock. As long as you have money, you won’t be afraid of not being able to rent a suitable ship. He has a 30-foot-long new passenger ship. The cabin should be complete, and the boatman is honest and honest. The price is a bit expensive. If the whole package is full, it costs two taels of silver a day and a night.

Liu Yanzhi had a banknote around him. Money houses were popular in the late Qing Dynasty. The banknotes were trustworthy and could be used as large amounts of cash. This banknote with a denomination of 100 taels was enough for them to use last month. He gave the banknotes to the housekeeper. In fact, he believed in Miss Lin more, but after all, it was not convenient for his daughter's family to show up in public. Men had to come forward in everything. At this time, he could only choose to believe in the loyalty of the old housekeeper.

"You wait for me here for one day first, then go to Jiangning. Every day, the fifteenth day of the lunar month, I will come to you with Mr. Lin in less than a month." Liu Yan clasped his fists and said, "Just leave now, see you again."

...

At this moment, the Niesi yamen was in trouble. Three prisoners were knocked out and five imperial prisoners were left. No one could bear the blame. Lord Nietai received the report and hurried to report to Governor Wei. The governor was furious and was about to issue a signature to send someone to search, but he received a report from the government office. Zhang Bantou, who had killed his relatives for justice, was killed in the bedroom. A bloody letter was written on the wall, which was very arrogant and despised the king's law.

The governor issued an order to go, and the four gates were closed. The patrol battalion dispatched the whole city to search and investigate from house to house. The imperial prisoner must not be left.

The master came over and shook the paper fan and said, "The Governor General sent someone to ask, how many of the telephone poles in the province have been repaired?"

"Don't worry about him." Governor Wei said angrily. Although the governor is not as high as the governor, the two have no direct relationship with each other and are responsible to the court. Moreover, the two are quite different in political views. Governor Wei is extremely resistant to foreigners, while Governor Liu Kunyi is a representative of the enlightened faction. Governor Wei only has the Empress Dowager Lao Fu in his heart, so he ignores the governor and the governor. He has this confidence.

"I'm afraid it's not very good." The master was cautious, afraid that his boss would be hindered from his career.

Wei Fushun sneered: "Let's see, after this storm, I have to pick a few red tops."

The hat beads used on the official hat of the first-rank official are ruby. Governor Wei is implying that Liu Kun is wrong in his side. When the Lafite defeats the foreigners, these disobedient governors will be in trouble. At that time, Wei Fushun killed foreigners and burned churches and cut off electric poles because of his political correctness. He was the perfect execution of the Empress Dowager Lafite spirit and will definitely stand out, and the promotion of the title is just around the corner.

"Sir, wise." The master beat him up, with a flattering face.

"Go down and rest." Governor Wei waved his hand.

The master stepped back out of the signing room. He was idle and walked around, sat in the library for a while, drank a pot of tea, and discussed the situation in the world. He was full of hope for Lord Wei, and even considered what kind of house they were suitable for when Lord Wei was promoted to Governor General of Liangjiang.

"The river house by the Qinhuai River is most suitable for you to grow old." Zhang Shuban praised, "I heard that the three-entry yard is only 500 taels of silver. Maybe Lord Wei is happy and I can't guarantee the reward for you."

"Where are there," the master smiled, took out a pocket watch with silver chains from his pocket, and glanced at it, "It's almost noon, Lao Zhang, don't go home for food yet."

"Oh, the chat is rising, I forgot the time." Zhang Shuban said, and he still praised: "This pocket watch is really a beautiful thing."

"The reward of lord must be not an ordinary thing." The master wiped the shell of the pocket watch with his clothes. "I heard that it was an object of a foreign priest. The Boxer Rebellion seized the objects of filial piety to the adults. If the adults do not care about foreign people, they will reward me."

"We can't catch up with your blessings." Zhang Shuban packed up his things, wrapped them in a blue cloth, resigned to the master, left the governor's office, and walked home slowly.

When he was about to reach the door of his house, Zhang Shuban saw Zhang Zhuang tickets on the ground. When he bent down to pick them up, he suddenly felt his body lightening and was lifted up. He turned dizzy and entered the alley next to him.

A foreign gun hit Zhang Shuban's forehead. This six-wheeled gun made by Citigroup was powerful. The governor's guard was equipped with several. I watched it while shooting the target. Not to mention the head, stones could penetrate a hole. Zhang Shuban was trembling, his teeth were trembling, and he couldn't speak.

"Whatever I ask, what you answer, nod if you understand." said the masked man.

Zhang Shuban nodded like pounding garlic.

"When did Lin Huaiyuan take to the capital, what path did he take, and how many soldiers he accompanied?"

"I walked on the official road on the land route the day before yesterday, and there were ten horses from the magistrate's commander, thirty soldiers from the governor's model camp, and the leader was a thousand general, equipped with swords, bird guns, a total of three carriages and ten war horses. Every sentence is true and I dare not hide it." Zhang Shuban was a shrewd man, and he dared not be clever at the critical moment of life and death.

"I'll send the head to your neck first. If you dare to say it, you are a family, hum." The man withdrew his gun and jumped onto the wall. Zhang Shuban's feet were weak and he collapsed on the ground.

...

Liu Yanzhi returned to the hotel and told Lei Meng and the others about what happened last night and now, saying that he planned to rescue Lin Huaiyuan, and then crossed the ocean to kill George Cunningham.

Zhang Wenbo and Guo Yuhang were full of unhappiness and complained that he was troublesome, but Lei Meng admired his perseverance and said, "If you need any help, just speak."

Liu Yan said straight: "Zhou Jiarui is not sure where to go, but he must remember the time he went back. When you return to the base time and space, he should also appear. You can take him with you, and maybe he will bring a girl with you, so I will give my place to that girl. I need a few horses, guns, bullets, and silver."

Lei Meng agreed: "Okay, we don't need it anyway, we'll give it to you."

In a moment, Liu Yanzhi's luggage was ready, two Martini rifles, fifty bullets, two Colt revolvers, one hundred and twenty bullets, one waist knife, three war horses, and several drinking water for dry food.

Liu Yanzhi turned over and the horse, Lei Meng helped him insert the bullet-filled rifle into the leather bag next to the saddle, and sighed: "I really want to go with you."

"Then let's go." Liu Yan said straight.

Lei Meng's old face turned red: "But it really doesn't make sense."

Liu Yanzhi didn't respond, and galloped away with a clamp on the horse's belly. Two empty-loaded war horses followed closely behind and ran away with four hooves.

"He's crazy, really treating himself as a hero?" Zhang Wenbo said with his eyes narrowed and leaning against the wall.

"He's too involved," Guo Yuhang said, "One-to-forty, he has no chance of winning at all."
