Chapter 085 Chapter 086 Independent Army

Wilson was indeed a money-opening master. He immediately agreed, took the Indian patrol, went to the church hospital, and took Yao Xiaofeng's daughter away in front of the Taoist government. The hospital was originally opened by foreigners, and those who came to take care of people were also foreigners. The ordinary clothes in the Taoist government did not dare to provoke them, so they had to watch Wilson take the child away.

Wilson is actually a British hooligan who can't get along in China, so he came to China to look for opportunities. However, the biggest difference between British hooligans and Chinese hooligans is that British hooligans abide by the contract. The spirit of the contract is the core value of Western culture, from the aristocracy to the hooligans. Wilson used power for personal gain, but he formed a contractual relationship with Yao Xi, and he had to do it according to the contract.

Sure enough, Wilson took the child to Yao Xi's apartment and gave it to Yao Xiaofeng. Yao Xiaofeng was very grateful and found ten yuan, but was rejected by Wilson. The reason is very simple. The deal he negotiated with Yao Xi was worth 50 yuan. He didn't want it - this is also the spirit of contract.

Yao Xi and Zhou Charter came to the Daotai Yamen. Yao Xi let Zhou Charter sit and drink tea in a teahouse outside the Yamen, and walked into the Daotai Yamen alone.

After half an hour, Yao Xi came out of the Taoist government office, happily entered the teahouse, came to Zhou Charter, and said, "Brother, it's all done. My friend said that it's the right time for us to come. Daotai has sentenced Guo Dahai, ah, that is, Guo Erbao, who was confiscated his pocket watch and sent to Beijing to the Forbidden City. City. Guo Er pole was in prison. Three days later, he was checked and escorted out. I gave the pen 300 yuan and asked him to do some tampers. He said that Guo Erzhu, a boy, had a tuberculosis and could not live for a few days, and the implementation of the distribution could only be suspended. That pen is going to hit some people in the cell. Tomorrow morning, we will come here to pick up Guo Er.

"Is it insurance?" Zhou Charter asked.

"Absolutely safe!" Yao Xi said, "The people in the government are all money-eyed masters. I have been with them a lot. This kind of thing has long been common for a long time. Moreover, what Guo Erzang committed is not a big deal, and he is not a revolutionary party. Brother, don't worry, tomorrow morning, I guarantee you will see Guo Erpa! Damn, it's just a cheap boy. When he arrived in Shanghai and hooked up with such a little fairy, I, Yao Xi, had such a hard life!"

Zhou Charter laughed and said, "It is a blessing but not a curse to have a tough wife."

Yao Xi whispered, "Brother, it's still early today. Why don't we go to Dalemen for a walk?"

Yao Xi arrived in Shanghai and looked at the women on the street all day long. Her heart was itchy, but there was a tough woman around her. Yao Xi was a thief and fearless. Now with the support of the eldest brother, this boy is bold and wants to carry Cuihua to Dalemen for a free time. Anyway, if something happens, there will be a big brother.

Zhou Charter was funny. Yao Xi was too afraid of his wife. It was also natural for a magistrate with a large amount of money in his hand to ask for a concubine, but this boy did not have this blessing and could only go to the place of fireworks to steal.

"Well, I'll go back and talk to Cuihua. I'll ask you for a small room and go to Da Lemen. Now is not the time. I'm worried that the second shot didn't come out." Zhou Charter said, "Yao Xi, brother's affairs are still more important than a fireworks woman. This is the rule of our Zhangjun, don't you think?"

Yao Xi was stunned and only agreed.

The two returned home and had nothing to say for a day.

Early the next morning, the two came to the Taoist government gate again. Zhou Charter was still drinking tea in the teahouse outside the government gate, and Yao Xi entered the government gate alone.

According to Yao Xi, it won't take long to bring Guo Erba out of the government this time.

However, an hour passed, but Yao Xi did not come out of the government.

Zhou Charter was suspicious and secretly felt that something was wrong. He hurriedly stood up, paid for the tea, hurried out of the tea shop, walked to the entrance of a lane dozens of meters away from the government gate, mixed in the crowd, and stared at the government gate.

Suddenly, I saw a team of soldiers with live ammunition rushing out of the government and rushed straight to the teahouse. The teahouse suddenly made a mess, and someone inside shouted, "Don't let the Revolutionary Party go!"

At the same time, countless soldiers rushed out of the government office and blocked the street in front of the government office under the leadership of the generals. The pedestrians on the street stood in place and were not allowed to leave. The soldiers began to search and interrogate door to door.

The soldiers stopped the pedestrians on the street, took off their hats, checked the braids behind their heads, and immediately grabbed them into the government.

Zhou Charter was shocked. The problem must be the braid!

Guo Erzhuan has no braids. Since he arrived in Shanghai, he has been wearing fake braids. I'm used to wearing this fake braid. Zhou Charter and Guo Erzhu are used to it and don't pay attention to it.

This time, Guo Erzhuan was arrested, and the government only regarded him as an ordinary smuggler, and did not notice his fake braids. Yesterday, Yao Xi went to dredge the joints. Everything was going well. According to the pen-style arrangement, the prison guards got benefits. Early this morning, as long as Guo Erjian's body was verified, he could be released on bail.

Guo Erjian stayed in prison for three days, and there was no problem. Unexpectedly, he was about to be released from prison. The problem was to "examine his body". When the jailer conducted the last examination of Guo Erzhuan, he found that the braids on his head were fake.

In the Qing Dynasty at the end of the 19th century, few overseas students cut their braids. However, the problem is that the government determined that Guo Erpole was a Jiangyang thief, and a Jiangyang thief had no braids on his head, which made the situation serious. The government can tolerate overseas students cutting their braids, but it will never tolerate domestic people cutting their braids!

Guo Er pole has no braids on his head, and Yao Xi, who came to pick him up, has no braids on his head. The problem is even more serious. Obviously, this is not a matter for one person, but a group of people! The government analyzed the process of the matter and concluded that Guo Erba was by no means an ordinary smuggler. There must be a force behind him!

The forces that cut their braids can only be revolutionaries! Because the slogan put forward by the revolutionaries overseas is "Exvict the rafts!" Cutting braids is one of the contents of "exorcising the carans".

Those pen stickers and jailers who got Yao's preference did not dare to be selfish when they encountered such a thing, and hurriedly reported to Huang Zunxian in Shanghai.

Huang Zunxian has been alerted, and Sun Wen secretly sneaked into Shanghai to plan the riot. At this time, it is better to catch a thousand by mistake than to let go of one.

Moreover, Huang Zunxian inferred that Guo Erpole was probably a senior member of the revolutionary. Otherwise, how could the revolutionary party work so hard for him? If not, there are still revolutionaries waiting to rob the prison outside the Taoist government!

Therefore, Huang Zunxian ordered Guo Erpaan and Yao Xi to be put to death row. At the same time, he sent soldiers to block the street in front of the government office and closely investigate the revolutionaries. As long as they are suspicious and have no braids on their heads, they will be arrested first.

Zhou Charter was mixed with the crowd at the entrance of the hall and was secretly anxious. Guo Erbar was not rescued, but hit Yao Xi. The whole street has been blocked by the Qing soldiers, and it is impossible to run out. Once caught by the Qing soldier, the fake braids on his head will be exposed immediately.

If he is caught in the Taoist government, there are only two results. Or, if he is regarded as a revolutionary, then he and Guo Erhuang and Yao Xi will have only one way to die; or, the consequences of disclosing their true identity and doing so are also extremely serious. Not only will they not be able to live on their own lives, but I'm afraid they will also involve Zhang Jun brothers from all over the world. The Empress Dowager Cixi will never allow him to live! Once he falls into the hands of the government, he will be "caught"!

The people on the street were so scared that they were scattered like clay sculptures, staring at the Qing soldiers showing off their power and getting closer and closer. Zhou Charter turned around and flashed into the lane behind him.

The lane is very narrow, with either residential houses or courtyard walls on both sides. The street was already smoky, and no one was willing to get into trouble. Residents closed their doors one after another. Zhou Charter ran more than 100 meters along the lane and didn't see an exit. He secretly complained bitterly. A high wall appeared in front of him, blocking the way - this is a dead end!

Behind him, the footsteps and scolding of the Qing soldiers were getting closer and closer. Zhou Charter had no way to advance or retreat. In a hurry, he saw a flower wall beside him, and the wall was covered with vines. Zhou Charter grasped the vines, jumped over the wall and jumped into a patio.

In the courtyard, there was no one, and not far away was a firewood house, in which was piled with firewood and grass. Zhou Charter couldn't care much and got into the pile of firewood and grass.

Outside the flower wall, the voices were noisy, and the Qing soldiers rushed to the edge of the flower wall and searched door to door.

Zhou Charter lay motionless in the woodshed. After about an hour, the noise outside the wall gradually calmed down, and the Qing soldiers did not find any suspicious people and gradually dispersed.

Zhou Charter waited for another two hours and listened to nothing outside before he came out of the woodshed.

This is a small patio, surrounded by flowers, planted with various flowers, sprouting, and a faint fragrance floats in the air. It's like the back garden of a large family, which smells like a private garden in the south of the Yangtze River. Directly opposite the flower wall is an old-fashioned green brick and red tile house with a tall ridge and elegant decoration. Under the east eaves of the house, there is a moon gate. Among the vegetation, a stone path is tortuous leading to the moon gate.

Zhou Charter did not dare to climb over the flower wall and return to the lane. Although the Qing soldiers had left the lane, there must be martial law on the street outside the lane. If Zhou Charter went back, he would have thrown himself into the net.

Zhou Charter looked at no one left and right and walked along the stone path to the Moon Gate. The moon gate is connected with a long corridor, with carved eaves and painting pavilions, and rockery flowers on both sides, which is very elegant and has a delicate charm.

At the end of the corridor, there is a rockery. Behind the rockery, there is a faint sound of metal impact.
