"Did he really say that?"
"Yes, you can hear me clearly," Zhou Lezhi said.
Wang Yehao nodded to express his satisfaction. It seemed that he didn't need to bother too much. Kun Thief's own evil deeds made the Hearthstone Taoist hate him. In this way, there is no fear of him running back. There is also a lot of black material in "Lingao Kunqing" written by Gou Chengxuan, so you can show it to him.
Now he is no longer in a hurry to "Mengde Diva". In addition to predicting the future, this Hearthstone Immortal can also bring him many other benefits, and he also has many ideas for dealing with the aftermath. Some of them are almost empty talk, but the angles are novel and can inspire ideas.
This is a capable person. To win him over!
Zhou Lezhi didn't have so many calculations. He just felt that since he came back from the countryside, his husband was very different from before and became taciturn. In addition to giving him lessons every day, he no longer played with Yui at night, but closed the door and wrote.
Manuscripts kept piling up, and Zhou Lezhi originally copied and sorted them out. However, his husband thought that this would take up Zhou Lezhi's class time, so he asked Liu Zhao to find five copyists.
Scribes are craftsmen in printing workshops who specialize in copying paper patterns. Not only do they copy neatly and quickly, but most of them are illiterate - which is also quite rare. Wang Yehao felt that this was the best way to prevent the "Australian secret knowledge" from being leaked. I also asked you to make an extra copy.
Zhou Lezhi's job was to proofread the transcription for errors. To be honest, he felt that it would be of no use even if the scribe was literate, because most of what his husband wrote would be incomprehensible without his instruction.
The copied documents were sent to Wang Yehao's study. I originally thought that what he wrote were all "curses", but I didn't expect that they were all Chinese characters. Except for the fact that the fonts are mostly in common styles and the language is almost vernacular, there is nothing special about it.
It's just that most of the things he wrote are of a nature that you can understand by just reading them, but you can't understand them when you put them together. This is somewhat embarrassing.
Some he probably knew about arithmetic and the investigation of things; some he had no idea about, such as "An Introduction to the Principles of Political Economy"; and another "World Geography and Countries in the Seventeenth Century", which is good as a novel and leisure reading. But it makes no sense - after all, no one cares how many countries and kings the barbarians like Red-haired Europa have; "Principles of Mechanics" is full of various machines...
"These are the secrets taught by Taoist Master Hearthstone?" He didn't believe it, so he specially found Zhou Lezhi.
"Yes, that's what sir said."
"What kind of unique skills are these!" Mr. Wang secretly cursed, but he couldn't say it openly, so he asked again, "Has he ever written a book about the secrets of spells?"
The answer naturally disappointed him. Mr. Wang stared at Zhou Lezhi, feeling that this young man had changed a bit and seemed to be less loyal.
I'm sorry that he can't make trouble. Although Zhou Lezhi is an orphan this time, his clan is in Guangdong, and exterminating the clan is just a piece of cake. He must understand that.
What's more, this kid has already had a fierce fight with the Hearthstone Immortal, and replacing him rashly will only cause the Immortal's dissatisfaction. He immediately said a few gentle words and asked him to help his husband write the book.
After sending Zhou Lezhi away, Wang Yehao looked at the candlelight expressionlessly, and after a long time he asked Liu Yi:
"Do you have any clues about the incantation in the Heavenly Book?"
"I have inquired in many places, but no one knows about it."
"Be careful and don't let the news leak out."
"Don't worry, sir. I have my own way. It's just..." Liu Wei paused, looking like he was hesitating to speak.
"Just tell me, no need to worry."
"Sir, my subordinate is brave. Only Mr. Zhou knows the incantation of this heavenly book. Why not force him to reveal the method to crack it?"
"Alas!" Wang Yehao let out a long sigh and remained silent for a long time before speaking: "Since it's about the incantation of the Heavenly Book, I won't hide it from you. This is a serious matter. Just remember what you heard and remember it in your heart. Never talk to others."
"Subordinates, please keep this in mind."
"In the sixth year of the Apocalypse, do you remember what happened at Wang Gongchang?"
"Remember, the official residence reported that it was caused by a gunpowder fire."
"Hehehehe..." Wang Yehao couldn't help laughing out loud after hearing this, "What kind of gunpowder do you think can lead to such a battle?"
"This subordinate is stupid, I hope you can give me some advice."
"When the Japanese officials inspected the neighborhood, they saw Mr. Zhou in the ruins."
"Mr. Zhou is from the capital?"
Wang Yehao suddenly had a sharp look in his eyes, and there was a chilling chill in his words: "I have seen Mr. Zhou's head."
"What do you mean, sir?"
"There was only a human head, hanging in the air, and it disappeared in an instant."
This thing sounded so shocking that Liu Wei didn't know how to respond for a long time, so he just asked in a whisper: "Really...?"
"I don't believe this thing about strange power and chaos, but it can't be false." Wang Yehao calmed down and looked at Liu Wei who was still a little dazed and said, "This person is really vulgar and shabby." , it is also true that life is cut off by a iron mouth. It is difficult to deviate from the deep and shallow, and you should not act rashly. Zhongda said, Kong Ming never takes risks in his life. If I am not 100% sure, I will not be able to compete with him. "
"My subordinate was reckless."
"It doesn't matter." Wang Yehao lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "Now I don't care about the heavenly book. When I arrived in Guangzhou, I saw that the power of the Kun thieves has become strong and will become a serious problem for the imperial court in the future. This Hearthstone Immortal, eight out of ten Jiu has a great relationship with Kun thief. If the court wants to ping Kun, this person will be of great use."
"My subordinate understands!"
"I went to Guangzhou for inspection. Although the thieves have retreated, the officials in Guangzhou are all afraid of the thieves. There are probably many people who secretly collect bribes from the thieves. To deal with the thieves, it is unreliable to rely only on the local government. I give you orders. How are things going?"
"We have recruited more than twenty brothers, all of whom are good players."
"I'll give you the money, but you have to use the person." Wang Yehao glanced at Liu Zhen, "At a critical moment, don't let people ruin things and delay the war..."
The four words "delaying the fighter opportunity" are enough to make people lose their heads, and Liu Wei naturally understands the meaning.
"Don't worry, sir, I know the pros and cons."
"Go ahead."
Liu Zheng did not leave immediately, but said again: "Master, I have something to tell you..."
"Oh, tell me."
Liu Wei said that he had a brother he knew who was from the Liang family in Guangzhou. He said that Liang Cunhou was determined to deal with the bandits and was secretly recruiting heroes.
"...I heard that the Liang family is a wealthy gentry in Guangzhou and has great influence in the local area. If I can get his help, I can accomplish great things."
Mr. Wang naturally understands who Liang Cunhou is. But he had long heard that Liang Cunhou was in cahoots with Kun. The largest charity in Guangzhou was co-founded by his family and Guo Dongzhu.
Such a person actually wants to deal with the Kun thief? Mr. Wang didn't believe it.
"Is this really happening?"
"Indeed!" Liu Wei nodded and whispered, "There is also a supervisor within the Liang family - he is from Dongchang."
"Dongchang?"
"Yes," he noticed the look of fear in Mr. Wang's eyes and said hurriedly, "Although this brother was originally ordered by Dongchang to lurk in the Liang family, he had nowhere to go after the emperor removed the officials to monitor him. So I still stay in Liang Mansion as an errand."
"Oh." Wang Yehao breathed a sigh of relief, because after the emperor ascended the throne, he immediately removed the officials to monitor, and he never thought that he would send more people a few years later.
There have been a lot of activities in the past few years. If I really want Dongchang to detect him and expose him to the emperor, I am afraid that he will be "questioned" in the imperial prison.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but break into a cold sweat.
Liu Wei continued to lower his voice, "The police officer in Dongchang is also a brother of our Jin Yiwei, so my subordinates contacted him through a reliable intermediary."
"you say!"
"According to him, Liang Cunhou regretted his cooperation with the Kun thief after Wang Du failed to defeat the Kun thief. It was just that it involved huge interests and was related to the entire Liang family, so he did not cut ties with the Kun thief. .”
"So, the Liang family has property in Kun Thief's place?"
"That's right. Not only Cihuitang, but also several Zi's brands. I heard that the Liang family has shares."
"So that's it!" Wang Yehao thought to himself that Kun Thief had the local reputation of turning stone into gold. If the Liang family had shares, it was self-evident that the annual income would be huge. No wonder they can't make up their minds.
"But Liang Cunhou feels that kun thieves have become a disease in Guangdong and will sooner or later become a nuisance to the imperial court, so he has been secretly collecting kun's information and making preparations..."
Wang Yehao understood what Liu Wei meant and this person could cooperate.
The Liang family is a well-known local powerful family in Guangfu, and their influence is intertwined. If they can get his help, they can get twice the result with half the effort against the Kun thieves.
"In that case, I would like to meet him."
Fortunately, when a local official takes office, it is also necessary to visit the local gentry. He called Jin Wenchi and asked him to pull the strings. Sure enough, within a few days, the Liang family sent an invitation to a banquet for Wang Yehao.
At the banquet, Wang Yehao mentioned that the gangsters were causing harm to Guangdong and asked Liang Cunhou if he had any countermeasures.
"Speaking of the thieves, the students can be considered their benefactors." Liang Cunhou said with a wry smile when talking about the past, "I thought I was confused by them and pitied them for not being able to make a living overseas, so I sent them a greeting card and co-organized it with them. Cihuitang takes in refugees, never thought that raising tigers would cause trouble!"
“It’s not too late to mend the situation before it’s too late.”
Liang Cunhou and Wang Yehao hit it off immediately. Liang Cunhou wanted to make up for his "mistakes" back then, and his attitude was particularly positive. He revealed that he had secretly set up a library at home to collect various books, newspapers and information from the thieves. Some scholars were also organized to form a Yuyuan Society to specialize in studying. Mr. Wang, if you are interested, you can exchange information.
"Is this happening? Can you trust me?"
"Students don't dare to say whether they are reliable or not, but they are all people who are obsessed with the study of beards." Liang Cunhou said with a smile, "Students will not say that studying beard studies is to deal with thieves."
"Is there any scholar who is obsessed with studying?" This surprised Wang Yehao.
"Exactly. When it comes to practical craftsmanship, the school of beards is indeed outstanding." Liang Cunhou sighed, "It would be a blessing if it could be used by the court. It's a pity that the beard thieves control it very strictly, and they can't get a glimpse of it. !”
