Jin Kaijun followed Liu Siting all the way out of the yard. When he looked up, he saw a black carriage parked at the door. The door was as black as piano paint and had a golden Northern Navy military emblem on it.
"This..." Jin Kaijun was a little stunned. He couldn't understand why Director Liu came in Zhao Xin's carriage. It was only a few minutes' walk from here to the hospital.
However, before he could speak, several Beihai soldiers in military uniforms suddenly surrounded him from both sides. One of them tied up Jin Kaijun's mouth with a cloth belt in his hand.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" Jin Kaijun was shocked. His mouth was constricted and he couldn't scream at all. In his messy eyes, he saw Director Liu wearing a mask looking at him coldly.
He twisted his whole body desperately, but his arms were tightly bound by the two people beside him, making it difficult to move at all. So he suddenly raised his feet and kicked hard towards the carriage door, trying to rush back and bring the person behind him to fall. On the ground, while shaking off the person beside you. However, before his feet even touched the carriage, he felt a sudden numbness under his ribs, and his whole body suddenly became sore and weak, as if his body no longer belonged to his knees, and his feet hit the ground with a thud.
At this time, the door of the carriage had been opened by Director Liu. The three soldiers pushed Jin Kaijun into the carriage, and then one of them covered his eyes with a black cloth belt.
Liu Siting got into the carriage and closed the door. Without even looking at Jin Kaijun, she raised her hand and knocked on the carriage. The carriage started quickly and soon disappeared on the westward road.
After about a while, Jin Kaijun felt that his whole body was no longer so weak and his legs had strength. He heard a "squeak" from outside and the carriage slowly stopped.
Then, it seemed that Liu Siting got off the carriage first, and then the two people who squeezed him tightly on both sides of his seat grabbed his arms and exerted force. Jin Kaijun's body was pushed up, and he fell towards the door. go out.
Just when he was shocked and felt that he would definitely be hurt by being thrown, two pairs of big hands outside the car grabbed him, and he was lifted up. Then the light in front of him gradually dimmed, and he seemed to have entered a room. Then, Jin Kaijun felt his body go limp, as if someone had thrown him on the bed, followed by the sound of a heavy door closing.
Ignoring his sore arms, he desperately pulled the black cloth off his eyes, only to realize that he was in a wooden house with the lights on. There are beds, bedding, tables, and chairs here, but there are no windows.
Cold sweat slowly flowed down Jin Kaijun's forehead. He didn't scream, but after untying the cloth bandage around his mouth, he sat slumped on the bed.
After a while, he stood up and looked around the room, and found several boxes of Beihai Town cigarettes and matches stacked on the table. So he sat down at the table, lit a cigarette, and began to worry about his future.
On the other side, Wu Ping'an, who came to the Civil Affairs Office Building, walked into the meeting on the second floor and found that Chen Qingsong was the only one in the room.
"Hey? Old Chen, didn't you say there was a meeting? Old Yu Fengfeng called me here angrily, why are you the only one here?"
"Old Wu, sit down. Wait a moment."
Chen Qingsong threw a cigarette to Wu Anping and was about to hand over his lighter. Wu Anping said no, then took the lighter out of his jacket pocket and placed it on the table. Then, he took off his coat and put it on the chair next to him, and a blue sweater suddenly appeared in Chen Qingsong's eyes.
"Old Wu, have you been here two years?" Before Wu An'an could say anything, Chen Qingsong patted his forehead and said, "By the way, you came here with Wang Zhenyi and his daughter. Look at my memory."
A wisp of green smoke floated into the air. Wu Ping'an's eyes flashed behind the lenses of his gold-rimmed glasses and he said with a smile: "Understood. Apart from Mr. Zhao, you, Old Chen, are the busiest in Beihai Town. I say you You have to pay attention to rest."
Chen Qingsong puffed on the cigarette, shook his head and said with a smile: "Well, there are hundreds of thousands of people, and there are still half a million behind. Just thinking about the food, clothing, housing and transportation of these people is enough for me."
"Old Yu said there was trouble at Whale Port and the refugees were fighting. What happened?"
"That's just a trivial matter. The security police have already solved it."
Wu Ping'an was shocked when he heard this. He stood up and said, "You asked me to come after you solved the problem? What do you mean?!"
"Don't worry." Chen Qingsong waved his hand and motioned for the other party to sit down. Seeing Wu Ping'an trying to get dressed with an angry look on his face, he said: "Old Wu, there is something I really don't understand. Can't everyone be nice? Why is it necessary? What about those conspiracies?"
As soon as these words came out, it was like a big bell ringing out of thin air. Wu Ping'an's hands and feet were numb from the shock and he stood motionless. After a while, he chuckled and said: "What are you talking about! Forget it, I won't talk to you anymore, it's true to go home quickly."
Chen Qingsong stared into Wu An'an's eyes and said in a slightly bitter tone: "Actually, I really don't want to care about this matter. But Old Wu, this Beihai Town was built from scratch by all of us, bit by bit. I have a lot of hard work and ideals here. I don’t want all of this to be ruined because of some people’s unrealistic ideas.”
"Oh?" Wu Ping'an sat back on the chair with his clothes on, shaking his head and saying: "I don't agree with what you said. Who wants to destroy this place? Who can destroy this place? Not to mention anything else, just for this place At the thermal power plant, we have worked hard for more than a year, and this is what we are today. Lao Chen, in terms of hard work and investment, our more than 100 people are no less than you. But what are we doing for this? To drive away a person The emperor of the world welcomes an autocratic dictator? This is going backwards!"
Chen Qingsong still had the same frown on his face and said in a deep voice: "What do you mean? Do you want to do what Westerners do? Two-party governance, parliamentary politics?"
Wu Ping'an's answer was resounding: "Everything is done in advance, otherwise it will be ruined. If we do it in advance, and with so many failed experiences and lessons, we will definitely do better than Westerners. Lao Chen, think about it carefully. Only when the parliament and the two parties take turns in power can we imitate the dictatorship of some people and prevent us from following the old path of history!"
"Haha, if Zhao Xin hadn't told me something, I would have been really moved by your words."
"Him? What did he say?"
Chen Qingsong stood up and looked out the window, and said slowly: "Old Wu, it's useless. Really, you can't go that way."
At this time, the door of the conference room creaked open, and Zhao Xin walked in slowly. Wu Anping took one look and understood everything. It was just a gimmick for Yu Deli to find him. They must have discussed it in advance and dug a hole for them to jump out of.
Chen Qingsong turned around and saw Zhao Xin coming in, then nodded to him and said to Wu An'an: "You guys talk first, I have something else to do." After that, he walked to the opposite side and patted Wu An'an on the shoulder. Went straight out.
Zhao Xin walked to the opposite side of Wu An'an, picked up the cigarette that Chen Qingsong left on the table, lit one by himself, and explained with a smile: "Since Momo was born, the old lady has not allowed me to smoke at home. Not even in the study.”
Wu Ping'an said expressionlessly: "Actually, it's better to quit."
"Lao Wu, oh, no, I should call you Lao Luo, right?"
Wu Ping'an's heart skipped a beat and he raised his eyes to look at Zhao Xin. Unexpectedly, he revealed all his secrets as soon as he came up. Just listen to Zhao Xin continue: "Actually, this matter is easy to investigate. Just make a phone call and go to your hometown to ask the neighbors."
"You want someone to check on me? Why? My mother remarried when I was a child, and then I took my stepfather's name. This is normal."
"Yes, changing your last name actually doesn't matter at all. But are you thinking too much? Mr. Luo An'an, or should I call you 'Jue Luo Chan An'an'?"
Hearing Zhao Xin say his last name in a contemptuous tone, Wu An'an became furious. He stood up and pointed at Zhao Xin's nose and said, "Shut up! Don't insult my last name."
Jueluochenhara, meaning "" in Manchu, was historically a special surname originating from an illegitimate child of a Manchu clan. After birth, because they were not included in the imperial certificate, they were all given the surname Jueluo Chan to make it clear that their clans were not orthodox. After the Republic of China, many of these people changed their surname to Luo.
"Brother, it's really nothing. Even if your surname is Aixinjueluo like Jin Kaijun, it's fine. As long as you don't cause trouble, I welcome you with both hands." Zhao Xin sighed and murmured: "What do you think you two are trying to do? ?”
"Do you know about him too?" Wu An'an suddenly woke up and asked anxiously: "What did you do to Kai Jun?"
"Don't worry, I'm not that gangster, nor am I a gangster." Zhao Xin put out his cigarette and grinned, "His 'Kai' should be 'Men Qi' Kai, right?"
"Yin Hongyong Mian Yi, Zai Pu Yu Hengqi. Many people only know these ten generations, and think that the Aixinjueluo family will be gone after this. I thought so before. But one day I suddenly thought of this question , is there more later?"
"That's your ignorance."
"Yes, I admit that I really didn't know much about this before. I instinctively thought that this was all arranged by Kangxi. Unexpectedly, I found out after checking later that Qianlong had already settled in the generation of 'Zai', and it was set in the time of Daoguang." "Pu Yu Heng Qi", "Taokai Zengqi" was decided during the Xianfeng period, and then the last emperor added 12 more characters, "Jingzhi Kairui, Xiyingyuan Sheng, Zhengmao Xiang".
Zhao Xin took out a cigarette without lighting it, but held it in his mouth. He looked at Wu An'an and asked with a smile: "Tell me, how did Jin Kaijun get inspired by you?"
"Mr. Zhao, don't talk nonsense without evidence. Xiao Jin and Ding Hui are in love and have nothing to do with conspiracy."
"Maybe, but last year you, Comrade Wu, took advantage of my absence to secretly spread that I wanted to be the emperor. Isn't this correct?"
Wu Ping'an sneered and said: "Don't say you don't want to. Having a prince's ceremony is not enough. Since you married Shen Xuan, the Shen family members have behaved like royal relatives. Besides, the gun is in your hands. Isn’t it time for you to do whatever you want?”
"Yes, so you asked Jin Kaijun to go back and get bullets?"
After Zhao Xin said this, he took out a voice recorder from his pocket and pressed the play button.
"...The end of the year is coming soon. Remember, you must find a way to get more "seeds" back...For a united front, you have to make more friends and fewer enemies. ...When I go back this time, I have to stop them from thinking about returning to China!"
An angry look appeared on Zhao Xin's face, and he pointed at Wu An'an's nose and said: "You can just mess with me. At most, we can sit down and chat. At worst, we will break up. I won't give you any money." I’ll give you less. But you bastard actually wants to mess with my family!”
"Don't think that I don't know what you told Jin Kaijun. The Manchu-Han republic and the constitutional monarchy are what you said, right? Do you want me to call the witnesses? You can think of it!"
Wu Ping'an looked at Zhao Xin with shock, and finally understood that the things he did with Jin Kaijun could no longer be hidden. He thought that the two of them were secretly discussing in the secret room without anyone noticing, but in fact they were being monitored all the time, and even their conversations were recorded.
After a while, he lowered his head and stared at the table, and said calmly: "Now that I have such an opportunity, I have to give it a try."
"You try it! A group of bandits sit on the ground and divide the spoils, and finally they remove the bandit leader and play a trick of wealth and power. Do you believe the nonsense of Westerners? Do you think the Manchu dignitaries will talk about parliamentary politics on an equal footing with the Han people?! Jin Kaijun is young If you don’t understand this, you are already running for your fifties, how can you still be so naive?!”
At the end of the Qing Dynasty in another time and space, China had reached a time of internal and external troubles. In order to prevent the loss of power, the Manchus actually launched a "nine-year preparation for the establishment of the constitution" scam, and finally established a corrupt official "Prince Qing". of the royal cabinet.
When local governors lost the right to submit opinions to the emperor, they actually lost the right to participate in national politics. When the Revolution of 1911 came, everyone was laughing and gloating.
After a long silence, Wu Ping'an looked at Zhao Xindao: "Forget it, the winner is the king or the loser, I admit defeat. Let me go back, I promise not to report you."
Zhao Xin sneered: "Do you think it's possible? Do I dare to believe that you are planning to mess with my parents?"
Wu An'an felt bad. There was more and more sweat on his forehead, and his palms began to sweat. He looked miserable and begged: "Mr. Zhao, I was wrong! Please spare me!"
"Alas!" Zhao Xin sighed. He turned around and looked out the window, but when Wu An'an opposite saw him like this, he immediately panicked and choked up his words: "I was so wrong! Please! I'm already running for someone in my fifties, and my wife is gone. My son doesn’t recognize me either…”
Zhao Xin turned around and said: "Old Wu, this is not my decision alone. I have consulted many people's opinions beforehand. What do you think I did when I left those days a while ago? Otherwise, Lao Chen wouldn't be following me from the beginning. You talk. Everyone’s opinion is that you don’t go back for the time being.”
Wu Ping'an was shocked. His face instantly turned pale, and he collapsed on the chair. He thought that someone would rush in and take him to a secluded place next moment, and then...
When Zhao Xin saw that the other party was like this, he was afraid of scaring him to death, so he quickly said: "Don't be afraid, no one is going to kill you. I will arrange a place for you, find a woman, and live a stable life for a few years."
ah! Wu Ping'an suddenly broke out in a cold sweat and felt much more at ease.
"You two come in!"
With Zhao Xin's shout, the door of the house was opened from the outside, and Jiuzang and Liji walked in.
"Actually, I don't care. To tell you the truth, I have no plans to go back. But others still have to live, and as for No. 100, no one dares to place their own safety on your guarantee. Lao Chen and the others are in Whale Town I’ll build a courtyard for you and Jin Kaijun on the west side of the house. It’s about the same size as my house and has everything you need. You two can be companions, so let’s do this for now.”
After Zhao Xin finished speaking, he waved his hand to Jiuzang and the others to take Wu Pingan out. Soon after the three people left, Chen Qingsong, Yu Deli, Hong Tao, Liu Siting, Wang Yuanfang, Zhao Liang, Lao You and others came. Everyone was silent in the conference room for a long time. In the end, they didn't say anything and sighed. Dispersed.
A few days later, a resident of Whale Town discovered that a company of the Northern Navy was suddenly stationed outside the newly built compound more than two miles west of the town, and then several black carriages drove in. From then on, every three days, a fully loaded carriage would drive into the yard early in the morning and leave soon after.
When the courtyard was first built, the residents of Whale Town were envious. The large house with three entrances faces south and it is said that there is a garden inside. However, no one knows who the owner of the courtyard is.
A few years later, as the guards relaxed slightly, a few people realized that there were actually two families living inside; one was named Wu and the other was named Jin.
