Little did Liu hope to know that the boxes were filled with life-killing talismans. He only thought about listening to a show and having a banquet at night, and then toying with the girls in the team. The more he thought about it, the happier he became. He couldn't think of anything else. He was smoking and reading newspapers in the office. Recently, he had become interested in "Lingao Times", which he was not very interested in at first. He still needed more to climb up. Just study.
Chang Qingyun was not as comfortable as him. His forehead and palms were sweating at the moment. After living for more than forty years, this was the first time he was so nervous. Even when he was captured alive by the Kun thief, he was not so nervous, he was just scared.
While he was directing preparations for Liu Hope's night "rehearsal", he was secretly controlling the conspirators in the camp.
Here in Sanhezui, these days, there are either internal developments or external infiltration. There are fifty or sixty conspirators directly controlled by Chang Qingyun. According to Yi Haoran, there are other conspirators in the camp. These people were obviously backup in case he failed.
Liu Hope's accumulated hatred value in the camp is already very high, and it has reached the point where he can catch it at a moment's notice. If they ascend and shout, the camp will be in chaos. But as long as the third squadron outside is not contained, the success of the riot is very small. It depends on the people outside.
Chang Qingyun does not have much confidence in "people outside". He has been in officialdom and the military, and he knows that "cooperation" is very difficult. Even the officials and soldiers of the imperial court marched together in several directions, and it was not easy to sum them up on a certain day. If you are not careful, this cooperation will fail. So he didn't dare to trust "outside support."
According to the current plan, when a signal is given in the city, Liu Wangwang will be directly controlled first, and then the gunpowder in the theater box will be ignited, causing a fire, and then inciting a riot.
Of course, if this kind of riot is not interrupted by outside armed forces, the Third Squadron can put it out in a short time as long as it acts quickly.
However, if this is done, the commotion in Sanhezui will inevitably attract the attention of Wuzhou City, so that the defenders in the city will have no time to pay attention to them. It allows the teams entering the city to act calmly.
To be honest, Chang Qingyun was not too worried about his own safety. Once the riot started, it would not be difficult for him to grease the soles of his feet and sneak out. The ones who really couldn't escape were the "righteous men" and Yi Haoran who sneaked into the city.
To be honest, he had quite complicated emotions towards Yi Haoran, and he had always been resentful of Yi Haoran for dragging him into this conspiracy. Now he has awe-inspiring feelings towards this "Mr. Dong Heng" - Mr. Yi does not do it for fame or fortune, or even for the court, but for the word "famous religion".
In this world, pure people are rare. Yi Haoran is such a pure person. He had a hunch that Master Yi would most likely not leave Wuzhou alive.
When Luo Yangming returned home, before his butt was still hot, everyone in the family came to tell them about Master Hao's arrest. Everyone said in unison: Master Hao was unjustly accused and asked him to try to rescue him as soon as possible.
Luo Yangming was not in a position to say that Master Hao's arrest was his own idea. He just wanted to comfort Elder Xie because he had too many things to do in the past few days. He would do it when he had time tomorrow.
Li Wensheng was worried and said: "Sir! The military law is in power in Wuzhou now. I'd better go to the Yamen tomorrow to say hello. Otherwise, once the edict is issued, many people will be executed, and Master Hao will also be involved - people You can’t recharge if you run out of breath.”
After Xie Erren entered the city, he cleaned up the order in the city, pursued the rioters who set fire and looted, and executed hundreds of people on the river beach outside Wuzhou City. This left a deep impression on everyone.
"Don't worry, there have been no military trials recently." Luo Yangming comforted them, "Besides, Australians also follow rules. Even if it is a military law, you have to go through the formalities, right? You can't just push it out and behead it..."
"The master said this, I feel relieved." Li Wensheng said.
Unexpectedly, when he went to bed at night, Wen Yun also complained: "Mr. Hao is a good scholar and has never done any bad things. He treats everyone well! How come he was suddenly arrested! It is unjust!"
Because Ding Atao was menstruating recently, Wen Yun was sleeping with him.
Luo Yangming was already a little confused, so he responded casually.
"I've already said, this is the decision of the Australians, and I can't do anything about it." Luo Yangming said with a bitter smile, "Don't be nervous, it won't get in the way. The most we can do is let Mr. Hao stay in the cell for a few days, and we will never let him suffer." …”
"I know about the court's lawsuits. Once you enter the yamen, you will be in trouble. Even if you are innocent, you will have to spend ten days and a half in jail. Even if he does not endure hardship in prison, what will happen to Li Heng's book..."
"Who is Li Heng?" Luo Yangming heard a strange name, and his sleepiness disappeared and he asked.
"He is the student accepted by Mr. Hao - no wonder you don't know how late you come home these days. He is the son of Miss Jiang..."
"Miss Jiang?!" Luo Yangming suddenly remembered something, "Is that...Qiu Chan?!"
"Qiu Chan?" Wen Yun tilted his head and thought for a while, "Yes, that's her! The wife said she was a lady from the Ruijintang silk shop. Her husband was killed by rebels when Wuzhou broke into the city, and she was left like this. A son. This Mr. Hao is a relative of her natal family..."
When she said this, Luo Yangming vaguely remembered something, as if he had indeed heard his wife say this. Suddenly a chill ran down his spine: Isn't Jiang Qiuchan working as a "accompanying wife" next to Cai Lan? ! People who seemed to have nothing to do with each other at first are now all involved: Hao Ran - Jiang Qiuchan - Cai Lan...
Luo Yangming didn't know about Zhao Toyota's suspicion of Cai Lan, but Hao Ran's line could actually involve the leader's "people"! This immediately aroused his professional vigilance - I am afraid this matter is not that simple.
Thinking of this, he immediately undressed and got up. The oil lamp was lit.
The little girl was startled by the sound of him getting up and said in surprise: "Master, what's wrong?"
"I have something urgent and I have to go to the Yamen!" Luo Yangming said, "Just go to bed."
"Master is going out. I will help you get dressed, and then ask the waiter to follow..." Wen Yun was about to get up.
"No, just stay at home." Luo Yangming ordered, and suddenly remembered something, "Where will your brother sleep tonight?"
"He and the guys are sleeping over at the south gate..." Wen Yun was confused, "I have work to do tomorrow. Do you want to see him?"
"Don't look for him." Luo Yangming said, "Just go to bed first. Don't wait for me."
Luo Yangming changed his clothes and called a waiter from the door of the store to follow him. He hurried to the city hall. Although Wuzhou enforced a curfew, he had a special pass and had a smooth journey to the city hall and met Zhao Toyota.
After hearing what he said, Zhao Toyota stood up from behind the table with a huff, and said excitedly: "No wonder!"
"What's so surprising?"
"I have always found this strange, so that's how it is!" Zhao Toyota immediately told the story of how he searched for the external transfer letter, "...no wonder the external transfer letter disappeared without any reason! The biggest suspect in this matter was Cai Lan. ! Only she has access to the chief’s documents. Now, with your clue, the relationship between them has been connected!”
"Cai Lan may also be innocent. Jiang Qiuchan is more suspected!" Luo Yangming said, "Don't forget, she has always been by Cai Lan's side. It's not impossible if you really use your brain."
"It seems that this matter is not simple." Zhao Toyota said, "It's hard to say who destroyed the external transfer letter, but it is certain that Hao Ran has contact with them. It seems that Mr. Hao is a big fish..."
"Definitely! Otherwise, why would Cai Lan or Jiang Qiuchan take such a big risk to save him?!" Luo Yangming said, "I think he will have to be interrogated tonight!"
"There's no need to be in such a hurry." Zhao Toyota looked at Luo Yangming, who had bloodshot eyes, and advised him, "Everyone else has been caught, where can they go? I will take care of Zheng Ergen and lock him up alone."
After saying that, he immediately called a staff member who was a naturalized citizen and asked him to inform Zheng Ergen: "Not only must he be held in solitary confinement, but someone must also be sent to keep an eye on him to prevent him from committing suicide!"
"Don't be anxious about other things. Everyone is very busy these days. Zheng Ergen doesn't have many useful people, so why should he handle it himself? It's not an easy matter to say, there are quite a few people involved... …”
"Who else……"
"There is also shopkeeper Da who recommended Jiang Qiuchan to Cai Lan - we need to check it out. If there is any connection, we might as well handle a big case." Zhao Toyota said, "These masters are all using Qiao to show off, and don't give them any color. It can't be done." He comforted Luo Yangming and said: "We will take care of this case tomorrow after unloading the goods. Cai Lan and Jiang Qiuchan are also under our control and cannot escape. They will be tried together at that time."
Luo Yangming felt that what he said was reasonable. After all, just a scholar and two weak women, what could they accomplish? Moreover, they are all under control. Unless you have three heads and six arms, you won't be able to make a big splash. However, his alertness as an intelligence officer made him think again and said;
"I suggest that we bring him to trial immediately. This master surnamed Hao has been lurking in the city for a long time, and he did not hesitate to let Cai Lan destroy the transfer letter. This shows that he has a purpose for hiding in the city, and it is not simply to avoid or gather information. A large amount of food will be shipped soon, so beware of any enemy plots..."
Zhao Toyota thought for a moment and said: "You are right, I will ask Zheng Ergen to interrogate him!"
Yi Haoran was already napping when he was suddenly awakened by the sound of the cell door opening. The guard outside shouted:
"Hao Ran! Hao Ran!"
Yi Haoran stood up and said, "The students are here."
"come out!"
Yi Haoran stepped out calmly and asked, "I wonder what Brother Chai has ordered."
"I'll give you another place," the guard said, "come with me!"
Yi Haoran's heart tightened. He instantly understood that the Australians already knew that they had caught a big fish and that he did not have much time.
He said calmly: "Please lead the way, Brother Chai."
