047 The Emperor Xiao Letian

"Xiang Shaolong, you know what kind of virtue is that scholars turn against each other now? This group of intellectuals who dominate the highest point of public opinion will be no less than a bandit!" Xiao Letian put down the information brought by the carrier pigeon, and the words written by Sima Yun on the Silk Scroll are still vivid in my mind.

The night after Sima Yun warned, Xiangjiazhuang encountered the encirclement of local green camp soldiers. The one who commanded the army was actually a Qianzheng. That night, gunfire sounded loudly in Xiangjiazhuang and fires soared into the sky. When the green camp soldiers, who were like wolves and tigers rushed into the house, they found that hundreds of people in the entire Xiangjiazhuang had disappeared.

Xiang Shaolong is not a fool, he is the famous Long Ye in the north, with countless friends in the world. In particular, Yanqing has a commercial road leading to Zhangjiakou. During his many years of operation, Long Ye and the bandits outside the mouth and horse thieves also had friendships. When he learned that the Qing army was going to encircle Xiangjiazhuang, he dispersed the entire village into dozens of teams, broke them into pieces and sneaked into the mountains, and headed straight to the home business outside the mouth. Please come more and faster chapters.

The cunning rabbit still has three holes, let alone Master Long.

When the news of the disappearance of Xiangjiazhuang village reached Beijing, Weng Tonghe, the leader of Qingliu, who was not indifferent to his emotions, frowned very rarely and was wandering around the house. The housekeeper was puzzled by the side. Even if his master saw the emperor and the empress dowager, he would never be humble or arrogant. Why did he lose his composure today?

After the butler carefully persuaded him, Weng Tonghe shook his head and said, "You don't understand, you don't understand at all. Since Xiao Letian appeared, I suddenly had a premonition. I felt that the weather was about to change, and I felt that the smell around me was different..."

"Assassinating a second Japanese devil, even the killer turned aside? He could actually release him? This was unimaginable in the past. I promised to recommend a quota for his family. This is the hope of their Xiang family's success for hundreds of years... But? But will he release others halfway? Will Xiao Letian be a demonic technique that seduces people?"

Weng Tonghe was irritated and wandering around the study room. "It's good now, someone has informed me halfway? Thousands of green camp soldiers with firearms didn't even catch a living person? A whole village escaped. If there was no inner support, it would be a ghost... Why did something become extremely complicated as soon as it stuck to Xiao Letian!"

In the end, Weng Tonghe was trembling with anger, "This is the evil demon, this is the great enemy of our teachings, the great enemy of life and death..."

The housekeeper was stunned by the master. He didn't expect that the master, who was the leader of a literati, had such a high opinion of the second Japanese. He wanted to fight against the Confucian scholars who had been passed down for thousands of years? Isn't this too high regard for him?

"Master, since this is the case, I will look for it again. There will definitely be better killers in the world. I don't believe that he can't kill him!" The butler said angrily. Updated as soon as possible

"Stupid! Assassination is a must. On the one hand, Xiao Letian has now been vigilant, while on the other hand, his reputation has already risen. People who are famous in Beijing are always assassinated. Are you a decoration for the court?"

"Besides, I am a dignified imperial teacher, not a crazy murderer. Killing people to show my academic performance is the place of justice, and I never regret it. However, when the enemy has set up a formation and wants to fight me in a dignified battle, I will never be afraid to fight..."

At that moment, Weng Tonghe looked holy, and his heart was filled with strong confidence. The thousands of years of Confucianism made him almost countless connections and resources. He would never believe that this second Japanese devil could win, and would never.

"Mill ink! I want to submit a memorial and recommend Xiao Letian to join Hanlin!"

"Ah?" In a word, the housekeeper's chin almost fell off. This is the master's plan. Why are you still rushing to be the official?

Weng Tonghe smiled slightly, and with a clever plan in his chest, he picked up his pen and began to recommend Xiao Letian as a fourth-rank Hanlin Qinggui. The first time he was updating. Just as he was writing hard, a figure had been climbing on the roof of the study room for an hour. Every word in the room was clearly heard. He was holding a bone-transparent nail in his hand, and he was hesitating whether to take action.

The people in the martial arts world who wanted to assassinate Weng Tonghe were no one except Xiang Shaolong, but the awe of scholars developed by the Chinese people over thousands of years made him hesitate. Weng Tonghe is now a second-rank leader, and he is a leader of Qingliu. He has never heard of Weng Hanlin's greed.

Is it really good to kill such an honest official? But why did this honest official assassinate Xiao Letian? Why did he silence my Xiang family after the matter was exposed? Is this what the honest official should do?

Xiang Shaolong has been unable to figure it out these days, and it was not until today that he got the accurate answer from Weng Tonghe. It turned out that Weng Hanlin made a choice based on the life and death of the entire Confucianism, and killing Xiao Letian was definitely a helpless move.

Look at Weng Hanlin now, he actually personally recommended Xiao Letian as an official. Is this going to turn enemies into friends? Or do you have to fight legitimately? Xiang Shaolong couldn't understand, but he vaguely equated this matter with the confrontation between the Donglin Party and the eunuch Party in the late Ming Dynasty.

But when I thought about it carefully, I felt something was wrong there. Xiao Letian didn’t do anything that was angry or resentful? Even if he was unforgivable, he had just returned to China and even if he wanted to do something bad, he wouldn’t have a chance? At that moment, Xiang Shaolong was confused.

Weng Tonghe's memorial was placed in front of the two empress dowagers the next day. Cixi and Ci'an laughed at the sight. Weng Hanlin is really full of genius and want to pull Xiao Letian down to Hanlin Courtyard? It was a pure acre of land, and he couldn't help but rub it.

"Uncle Weng, Uncle Weng! You don't even think about it. No second-grade top-grade top-grade top-grade top-grade top-grade top-grade top-grade top-grade top-grade? Forget it, I won't leave this note..."

Weng Tonghe's farce came to Xiao Letian's ears three days later. Xiao Letian frowned at that time. He understood that Weng Tonghe was going to rush to see. He had no hope of passing this memorial. He just wanted to send a signal to the people, Weng Shuping, how generous I am, and how loving talented I am. Even if I am a talent from Western Studies, I would recommend it.

"It's so shameless. These Qingliu will put on their faces and bully the common people in the unknown..." Xiao Letian didn't think about it after hearing it, and then began to write his "The Journey to the West". But before a while, Fan Jian actually walked in from outside with a strange look on his face.

"Oh, why is Manager Fan so leisurely today? How is the progress of purchasing scattered silver..."

"Mr. Xiao... I didn't come for this today. I have a letter here, please take a look..." After saying that, Fan Jian took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Xiao Letian.

When I opened the letter and looked carefully, it was actually a letter from Fan Ru, the elder brother, to his brother. It started with programmatic greetings and said some misses. Then I regretted the separation and hoped that the brothers could return to the family. Finally, Fan Ru also told my brothers good news. Although the Interior Affairs Office did not restore the status of the Fan family's royal merchant, it had handed over some of the fur and salt businesses that were out of the mouth to the Fan family. It seemed that there was hope for restoring the identity of the royal merchant.

After Xiao Letian finished reading it, Fan Jian smiled bitterly and said, "The letter is full of demonstrations, which is showing off to me, but... but the person who came also brought a sentence from my brother... He said that as long as I tell him all your details, he would guarantee me to return to the family, and the Fan family could restore the status of a first-class imperial merchant..."

Ah! Xiao Letian understood that some forces in Beijing have begun to target Fan Jian and want him to be a spy. Perhaps they thought that throwing out a first-rate imperial merchant seat would be a great gift, and a group of lowly merchants would not pounce on him like evil dogs snatching their bones.

"What about your opinion?" Xiao Letian said with a smile. Updated as soon as possible

"Hmph! This is a fool's dog on the wall. Not to mention a reservation of imperial merchants, even if he gives a royal merchant to a real one now, I don't like it. From my husband's book, I have seen the power of merchants. The West regards merchants as pillars of the country, but it is not like the Qing Dynasty treats us as slaves..."

"A royal merchant status can earn at most 20 to 30 million taels a year, but the bribes every year must be 90% of them, and only fools can fight them. My brother is a completely brainwashed fool..."

Xiao Letian waved his hand, "Okay, old shopkeeper, don't be angry. Since your brother has written a letter, you can agree for the time being. If you refuse in one go, it will make people suspicious. You will send some useless information back in a mess. Maybe one day your identity as a double-faced spy will play a big role."

Speaking of this, Xiao Letian suddenly stood up, took out his pocket watch and looked carefully, "It's almost eleven o'clock, and it's lunch time again. Today I'll have a drink from our two houses. Three days ago, the boss in the building said he wanted to treat me..."

Now Xiao Letian is no longer the down-and-out appearance he used to be. After coming out of the house of Master Qing San, he was serving eighteen burly men by his side. The fierce smell of elite soldiers from a hundred battles could rush from the corner to the end of the street. Xiao Letian was very disgusted with this grand show, but unfortunately Shi Da gave the order to die. He would never let Xiao Letian go out without taking enough guards.

This is just a guard on the surface, and it is three times more protected in secret. At first, Xiao Letian was a little uncomfortable, but later, when he heard about this year, even a poor juren in the countryside had to serve him seven or eight people. He was an overseas guest who was famous in Beijing, and there were not many servants who took this little service.

The building is located in the center of Yi County. The three-story building is particularly unique in shape. When Xiao Letian and the others walked to the store, they found that the shopkeeper had been waiting at the door. It turned out that a servant had already booked a private room with Tianzi in advance.

"Please treat Mr. Xiao... Mr. Xiao, you are lucky... The distinguished guest came to the sky-shaped letter to the building..." Xiao Letian caused a sensation when he appeared. At this time, Xiao Letian was already the local emperor of Yi County. From the magistrate of Liu County, no one who did not take Mr. Xiao's money from the yamen office.

The headmaster, chief clerk, dictionary... Anyway, this place is not far from the county government. These officials who have written blood letters and pressed blood handprints all come over with a smile to pay homage to Xiao Letian.

The people around the building were stunned. The county government officials who used to be like old men laughed like their third grandson today, especially Wang Hu, who was not only smiling respectfully, but also had a third fear in his eyes.

He had seen Xiao Letian burn the Tailing with his own eyes. He was completely scared of this bold and arrogant Japanese devil. Even if Xiao Letian forces him to rebel, he could not refuse.

During this period, Liu County Magistrate and Wang Hu took Xiao Letian's silver dollars to buy their officials bit by bit. After killing an unsightly treasurer and a ruling lieutenant who attempted to report to Baoding, the entire official class of Yi County became honest.

"Look, that man is Xiao Letian, who wrote "The Journey to the West", known as the great master of Western learning. He is a famous overseas orphan..."

"Oh, I'm lucky today. I can take a look at the Grand Master and get rich in literary spirit. My ancestral grave is full of smoke..."

"Two men, what official position is this Grand Master? How old is it?"

"Tsk! Bangmao, the great masters are all the founders of the founding sects. They dare not compare with Confucius and Mencius, but they are more than enough to compare with Zhu Xi, Wang Yangming and others!"
