Chapter 13 doomed

People who live in foreign farms, especially those who often spend time and drink, have the habit of going to bed late and getting up late.Gu Yingchun got up fairly early because he had business to take care of, but he didn't get out of bed until nine o'clock.At eight o'clock that day, my aunt knocked on the door, saying that someone from the cell had come and had something to say. "What are you talking about?" Gu Yingchun asked through the window. "There is a third master Liu from Hangzhou. He is in the hall." "Which Mr. Liu?" The sleepy Gu Yingchun couldn't remember who it was.

Grandma Qigu thought of it in the back room, opened the curtain and said, "Isn't it Liu Bucai, Mr. Liu?" "It's him? It can't be him!" Gu Yingchun said, "Mr. Liu is also one of his own. Once he comes, of course he will come here. What are you doing in the cell?" "The proprietress' words are good." The clerk in the shop spoke out of the window, "I was going to invite Mr. Liu to come to the house. He said he was embarrassed to come because he was in tatters." It really was Liu Bucai!This unexpected news brought confusion to Gu Yingchun, and he forgot to speak.Grandma Qigu is still thinking fast, the situation of the Hu family is not known yet, maybe something unfortunate happened.If Hu Xueyan found out, he must see him right away, gong face to face, drum face to face, nothing can be hidden from him, it is very wrong.

Therefore, she made the decision for her husband and told the clerk to return to the room first, saying that Gu Yingchun would go to see him immediately.At the same time, he told his servants not to reveal the news that Liu Bucai had arrived in Shanghai in front of Hu Xueyan. "Unexpectedly, he came." Gu Yingchun said, "Do you want to go see him with me?" "Naturally!" The couple rushed to the cell in a carriage.After meeting each other, there was a moment of silence.In silence, Gu Yingchun and his wife looked at Liu Bucai from head to toe. Although his clothes were ragged, he was in good spirits, he didn't look like he was about to starve to death.

"Uncle Liu!" Finally, Grandma Qigu spoke first, "How are you?" "It's okay, it's okay!" Liu Bucai seemed to wake up suddenly, and said with a blink of an eye, "It's okay to be a human being in the next life, and to be together again, of course!" Hearing this, Gu Yingchun and his wife both breathed a sigh of relief, "Where's the Hu family?" Grandma Qigu asked, "Is everything alright?" "It's a bit more difficult to escape. The big and the small take turns to get sick, and now they're all healed."

"Ah——" Grandma Qigu breathed a long sigh of relief, clasped her hands together, and bowed to her chest, "Thank God." Then she said, "But I don't understand, there are countless people who starved to death in Hangzhou—" said At this point, she swallowed and retracted the last sentence. That sentence is a question: Since there are countless people who starved to death, why didn't everyone in the Hu family starve to death?Liu Bucai understood what she meant, but he couldn't answer it in one sentence, "Blessed by the real Bodhisattva! It will take three days and three nights to talk about it." He asked in a hurry, "I heard that Xueyan came to transport grain. Hangzhou, I can’t go to the city and go back to Shanghai. Where’s the person?”

"He's been seriously ill and he hasn't recovered yet. But it doesn't matter." Grandma Qigu said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Uncle Liu, but you can't meet him right now. We'll talk about it after we get to know the matter clearly. Is Wang Futai the real one?" martyrdom?" "It's a good death, a good death!" Liu Bucai, who has never been serious about everything, exclaimed loudly, "Death is worthwhile. To be honest, there is nothing good about Wang Futai's official voice. This way, it’s not bad, even Long Mao admires it.”

According to Liu Bucai, on the day Hangzhou fell, the "Loyal King" Li Xiucheng rode straight to the governor's office alone. His original intention was to prevent Wang Youling from dying, but he was a step too late. Wang Youling hanged himself on the right side of the hall Under the osmanthus tree.Li Xiucheng respected his loyalty, untied his body, and put it on the left side of Peng Pavilion at Dongyuan Gate, and found a good coffin for burial.The Wang family, old and young, were naturally placed under protection. "Long Mao finally has some support." Grandma Qigu asked, "Didn't you say that you will bring Wang Futai's coffin to Shanghai?"

"That's not what I heard." "Where's Mancheng?" Gu Yingchun asked, "General Ruichang, probably also martyred?" "It took three days for the whole city to break down." During these three days, Li Xiucheng suspended the attack and sent people to surrender. The conditions were quite lenient, and the bannermen were allowed to leave freely. In addition to taking their personal belongings with them, Li Xiucheng also issued Sichuan funds. The purpose of showing it to Ruichang was to dispel their doubts, but the effect was counterproductive.Maybe the conditions are too lenient, which is unbelievable.Moreover, if the general of the defeated army returns to the flag, he must be punished. He cannot escape death. Instead, he loses his pension and even deprives his flag registration.

So after three days, Li Xiucheng ordered an attack, and the garrisoned bannermen all went into battle and resisted with all their strength.Nine miles around the city, there were five city gates, and there were red cannons on the city, which killed more than 3,000 Changmao people. By the afternoon of the first day of December, the city was destroyed.General Ruichang died by throwing himself into a lotus pond, and vice capital Tong Jiechun and Guan Fu also committed suicide.Men, women and children set fire to themselves and threw themselves into the West Lake to death, countless. Speaking of this, Liu Bucai panicked and turned pale.Gu Yingchun quickly asked someone to pour hot tea, let him take a breather, and then asked him about his personal experience.

"When Hangzhou was in a tight spot, I was there. Xueyan discussed with me that Huzhou had also been besieged, so he couldn't go back for a while, so he asked me to escort his family to Santianzhu to escape. Since then, we have never seen him again. Because it was not a good place to see Santian Zhu later, I fled in step by step, and the real Bodhisattva blessed me, so I fled to stay." "Liu" is a place name, in the west of Hangzhou.It is said that Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty moved his capital to Hangzhou to adjust the terrain and built a palace. He was also interested in this place and asked to "stay" as an alternative, so it is called "stay".Its land is mountainous, surrounded by peaks and springs, and there are many hidden places, which are good places to escape.

"There are a lot of people escaping, and the number of people makes a city, so we can't talk about secrets. I saw that the situation was not good, and I told Mrs. Xueyan: I want to escape far and deep. The more desolate and poor the place, the better. Xueyan Mrs. Yan is very discerning, and what I said was right. I found a place deep in the mountains, where no one can go, the best thing is that there is a stream, where there is water, and I am not afraid of anything. I hired someone to build a The thatched hut is only three feet high, with wooden boards on the bottom, and seven or eight tans of rice, a jar of salted vegetables, and a dozen hams are transported up. I don’t believe it. At that time, people in Hangzhou city starved to death. We don’t have a single day without rice.” "No wonder. Uncle Liu doesn't look like he has nothing to eat." Grandma Qigu said, "Didn't Changmao find you there?" "A little bit." Liu Bucai said, "One day I will go to gamble—" "Slow down." Grandma Qigu interrupted and asked, "Is there still a place to gamble after fleeing?" "Not only gambling, but also singing! The market is very lively." Markets are brought by those who flee.At first, someone set up a hut to sell some commonly used items, without a brand name, and they were commonly called "small shops".Then the small shop became a tea shop, as a place for gatherings to inquire about news.In the difficult years, both sad and boring, I had to think of a way to relieve myself, so the tea shop became a casino again.Liu Bucai was unwilling to be isolated from the world at first, and walked seven or eight miles to the market that came into being to listen to the news every day. Later, he just wanted to get rid of his addiction to gambling. Pai Gow, making treasures, throwing dice, everything. Come.If you have a banker, you will be the banker. If you don't have a banker, you will bet at a disadvantage, and you will become the pillar of that casino. That afternoon, Liu Bucai pushed the dealer to gamble on small Pai Gow, and his luck was very good. Often he won ten times, and the heavy door also turned ten times, so he still had money to win.When he was having a good time gambling, someone suddenly shouted: "Long Mao is here!" Liu Bucai was not quite willing to believe it, because he had been fooled once.Once I heard that "long hair is coming", the gamblers ran away in a hurry, but nothing happened, but when they returned to the casino, the table was empty.Afterwards, I found out that someone deliberately caused trouble to grab the stage.He suspected that someone wanted to take advantage of the fire this time, so everyone ran away, but he didn't run away, so he calmly packed up his bets. "Master Liu!" The casino owner came over to warn, "It's really long hair." After hearing this, Liu Bucai panicked, stuffed dozens of taels of silver into his waist in a hurry, carried five or six strings of copper coins on his back, and ran away from the door. But it was too late, and there were two long hairs chasing after him.Although Liu Bucai was in a hurry, he was thinking in his heart that his clothes were neater than others, and he was carrying copper coins on his shoulders, Chang Mao would never let him go.After running away and chasing like this, wouldn't it be "leading ghosts in" in the end? When the thoughts turn here, there will be a way to deal with it.Pulling a string of copper coins, tore off the slipknot on the "head rope", and dropped a thousand copper coins all over the ground with a "squeak", and then ran a few steps to do the same.After five or six strings of copper coins were sprinkled, the burden on the shoulders was completely relieved, and the steps were brisk.However, he still didn't dare to go the right way, fearing that Changmao would find his residence, so he made a long detour and only made a detour to get home at night. "Since that time, Mrs. Hu and Mrs. Xueyan have not allowed me to gamble again. In fact, the market has been broken up-that time, a small group of long hairs ran into there by mistake, and the number of people was too large. The next day, or the third day, a large group of people came, raped, looted and set fire, and the number of refugees was robbed." Liu Bucai said here, with a very complicated expression, lingering fear and sorrow Now, but he seemed to be pleased with himself, "Fortunately, I saw the opportunity! This treasure finally caught my eye." Talking about such an important matter of life and death, she still kept the tone of a gambler. Grandma Qigu admired him and was funny, but she was more concerned: "Have you never met Chang Mao?" "No! But I heard voices several times. The smell of fear, only those who have tasted it will know how uncomfortable it is!" However, the days of fear at this moment are not completely over.When Changmao entered the city, due to Li Xiucheng's restraint, the usual burning, killing, rape, and looting were not very severe.But Hangzhou people refused to follow the thieves. Men hanged themselves, women threw themselves into wells, and their families committed suicide.This is not all caused by loyalty, but the lack of interest in life, which is divided into several categories: one category is afraid of being humiliated and suffering; There is one category; those who have no food and clothing, who want to live on and cannot get anything, and think that sooner or later death is worse than early death are another category; Like the Hu family who "jumped out of calamity and is not in the five elements", I am afraid that there will be no one in a hundred thousand families.But now it is doomed again, and the thatched tent on the barren mountain can't live anymore.The main reason is that the food stock has run out, and the whole family has to "go out of the mountains", and the smell of corpses in the city must not be heard. If it is not for the severe winter, the plague has already spread, so of course they cannot live anymore.The good thing is that Mrs. Hu originally believed in Buddhism. Ever since Hu Xueyan made a thunderbolt and became prosperous, she believed that it was the blessing of the Bodhisattva. As long as monks and nuns came to ask for alms, they would never return empty-handed.Santianzhu is a place full of incense, and several temples are all familiar, so it is not easy to find a place to settle down.The trouble is still food.The entire city of Hangzhou relied on Li Xiucheng to transport 20,000 shimi from Jiaxing. If the military rations were not included, it would be able to last for a period of time. However, the military rations were distributed first, and the ordinary people’s benefits would be limited. "Now the whole family is big and only eats porridge once a day. I'm fine, but the old one on the top and the young one on the bottom, I have to think of a way." "I can always figure out this way." Gu Yingchun said, "However, Uncle Liu, there is something I don't understand about you. You have always had a good appetite, and you can support yourself by eating a meal of porridge every day? And you said, 'It's okay. '!" Liu Bucai smiled, and replied embarrassedly: "I will go to Changmao Mansion to hunt wild food." Grandma Qigu also laughed, "Uncle Liu, you really are, you dare to snatch the food from the tiger's mouth." She said, "How do you fight?" "It's hard to tell you this. Stop talking, let's have a serious point. I want to discuss with you. There is a bastard who came to trouble Xue Yan. If you ignore him, something will happen." The "bastard" Liu Bucai referred to was Yuan Zhongqing, who was the deputy magistrate of Qiantang County.This person turned out to be a "brave eye" of Yuan Jiasan's subordinates, who made a fortune in the war, and acted as a friend of Yuan Jiasan's aide, added a name to him in a "protection case", and won the reputation of "Six-Rank Lan Ling".Later, he violated the military order, and Yuan Jiasan wanted to kill him. He was so frightened that he deserted overnight and fled back to his hometown in Jiangxi. The governor of Jiangxi at that time was Zhang Fu, the same year of He Guiqing, and the favorite student of Mu Zhang'a.Yuan Zhongqing falsely reported that he was the county magistrate of the sixth-rank Lanling, and then went out of his way to serve Zhang Fu.Soon, Changmao attacked the capital of Jiangxi Province, and the people of Nanchang tried their best to help defend it, which made Zhang Fu feel good about it.Aiwujiwu, cheap "bastard", was actually appointed as the assistant of the manufacturing bureau to run the military uniform.This is a very lucrative job, and in Yuan Zhongqing's hands, it is even better, and it is well deserved. Soon, due to the victory of Ningguo, Zhang Fu took good care of Yuan Zhongqing and specially asked his friends to add a good commentary for him, and he was promoted to the county magistrate.This was originally great news, and of course others would be overjoyed, but Yuan Zhongqing was not only frowning, but even restless. Colleagues couldn't help but be surprised. It was rare for someone to ask him: "Old Yuan, you will be promoted every day! The superiors take special care of you. It is not just a general recommendation of one word, but you are a sixteen-character test, and Beijing will definitely approve it. Seeing that it is a hundred Lihou', why does it look like a mourning concubine?" "What are you talking about? If you don't want to go to court, I'm afraid you have to rely on the virtues of your ancestors." Then, he shook his head, "The lawsuit is settled! The virtues of our ancestors are useless." His colleague was very surprised: "Why? " Yuan Zhongqing didn't dare to say it first, he couldn't bear the sincerity and enthusiasm of that colleague, and he patted his chest to guarantee that he would try to share his worries, so Yuan Zhongqing revealed the secret in his heart. "To tell you the truth, my 'sixth-grade blue feather' is genuine, and the county magistrate is a 'Xibei product'. How do you want to keep it?" "What? Your county magistrate is fake!" False ones cannot see the light of day.When Jiangxi's insurance case goes up, the official department will naturally investigate the case.Yuan Zhongqing was able to protect the county because he was the county magistrate, but first he had to ask him what "team" this county magistrate was.Once there is no case to investigate, it is necessary to ask in writing.May I ask whether Yuan Zhongqing can get the "ministry photos" or the "actual income" of the donated classes? There is no such thing as fake.The Nineteenth Office of the Secretary of the Ministry of Officials is a long-standing slippery official who eats people and does not spit out his bones. He knows all the disadvantages. I am afraid that there is no crack. "official" charges, and ended up in exile. His colleague kept his word, and asked an expert for him to come up with a way to donate a county magistrate.Since the rise of the army, in order to raise salaries and open up donation cases, all provinces have first received a large number of blank receipts from the Ministry of Officials, which is called "actual receipt"-there are various tricks and various discounts in the donation class, and the actual donation of money The number, and the temporary receipt is called "actual receipt", which will be used to exchange for official ministry photos in the future.So it's easy, and it can be done right away after the money is exchanged.However, it doesn’t matter if the dates don’t match, and the “actual receipt” will be checked for inspection. If you see that it is a donation after the insurance case, the trick will be exposed immediately. "There is no other way to do this, but to ask favors." "I know that I need money from favors." Yuan Zhongqing said, "Although my job is a bit oily, I have made friends and eaten and used it. It's almost the same. Now, it's all here!" Open the pillow box, there are quite a lot of bank notes in it, but the sum of the bits and pieces is only a hundred taels of silver.This kind of back-dated tricks bears a huge responsibility, and at least it costs three hundred taels. His friend knows that Yuan Zhongqing is deliberately pretentious. Now that things are up to now, he is half-hearted, and he can't be an immoral person. He had no choice but to add fifty taels of silver for him to settle his matter. However, Yuan Zhongqing's reputation of being "uninteresting" has already spread.Jiangxi can no longer be confused, and in fact has to go, because Bao was promoted to the county magistrate, so he could not fill the vacancy in the province, so he asked someone to take care of it in the ministry and distribute Zhejiang candidates. Yuan Zhongqing originally hoped to distribute to Guangdong, but because the entrusted person was not real, he changed to distribute to Zhejiang. He had no choice but to "report" as a candidate. , Build long moats, add forts, row upon row of barracks on the city, set up extremely strong cranes, install axle reels, and store firearms and ammunition all day long.Looking around, the banner is clear, the swords and guns are sharp, and it seems that they must be able to defend. As a result, Yuan Zhongqing regained his spirits, followed the path of Linzhi, the feudal secretary, and had to "list" as an agent in Qiantang County.In the city of Hangzhou, there are two counties, Qiantang and Renhe, and Qiantang is the first county, and the identities of the county officials are even more different.Yuan Zhongqing is scheming and only has "internal talents", but Shouxian needs "outside talents". He pays attention to outstanding appearance, interesting conversation, gorgeous clothes, and smooth means. Not an option.But at this time, the military situation is urgent, very few high-ranking officers pass through the border, and the errands for sending and receiving are not complicated, which can give full play to his strengths. Yuan Zhongqing's strength lies in making money.Making money requires a name, and at this time when everything is more urgent than defending the city, why worry about not being able to find a name?For the sake of military supplies, apportionment of donations and collection of materials are completely bad debts.As long as the higher-ups can do business and the lower-level people don't stir up civil uprisings, no one will ask how much they get out of it. In September, Hangzhou was besieged, every family ran out of food, and everyone was barren, only Yuan Zhongqing seemed to be in good spirits, and he was suspicious that he secretly hid rice grains and told others to "eat alone". scold.Such a person, once the city is broken, will naturally not be martyred—some people say that he is still the one who opened the city gate and let Long Mao enter the city.There is no real evidence for this, but Li Xiucheng received a fake job the day after he entered the city, but it was not fake at all.The fake job he received was called "Qiantang Supervising Army", but the job he did was "old business", preparing military supplies for Chang Mao. The most urgent need for Chang Mao at this time is a boat, because on the one hand, a large number of fine jewelry, antique calligraphy and paintings obtained by looting will be transported to "Tianjing" and presented to the king of heaven.On the one hand, he needed to transport grain from other places to Hangzhou, so Yuan Zhongqing dropped his collar, took off the patch, put on a red silk padded jacket, wrapped the collar with a piece of yellow silk, dressed like a long-haired man, and held up Li Xiucheng's command arrow every day Seal the ship in Jianggan.There are countless refugees outside the city, and it is difficult for a beautiful woman to keep her innocence when she meets the lustful Yuan Zhongqing. "You bastard!" Liu Bucai said angrily, "He actually went to Hu's house in person and told the people who stayed there: "Hu has received tens of thousands of silver in public money, and went to Shanghai to buy rice, why didn't he come back? You guys?" Bring him the letter, how many rice should there be, and send it to Hangzhou as soon as possible. Otherwise, he will suffer! Think about it, isn’t this intentionally asking for trouble?” This is indeed a problem.According to Yuan Zhongqing's despicable character and vicious methods, if he doesn't plan early, maybe he will find out where the Hu family members are hiding and abuse the old and young, women and children, shouldn't it be worrying? "The most worrying thing is that this is a bastard who did not accomplish enough and failed. If he got in with the Hu family, entrusted him with favors, and released him as expected, it doesn't matter. I'm afraid he will be the same as Changmao. He said that the person was arrested, and if he wanted to be released, he could not be the master. In this way, if you want to find a way out, it may be more difficult than going to heaven." Liu Bucai's words, coupled with the rare serious expression, made Grandma Qigu worried, and she also lost her usual bright and lively words.Of course, Gu Yingchun was also quite worried, but he had always been deep and calm, half of which was influenced by Hu Xueyan, and he always felt that as long as everything was not afraid of difficulties, it would naturally not be difficult.The problem in front of me is not limited to this end. It is useless to worry about matters far away in Hangzhou if something unexpected happens.If there is no danger at all, if you are not in a hurry and go to the doctor indiscriminately, you will speed up the disaster. However, Liu Bucai might be able to accept this truth, but Grandma Qigu would not listen to it.Therefore, he had no choice but to take it all on his shoulders first, as a means of comforting his wife. "It doesn't matter! It doesn't matter!" He patted his chest and said, "I have a way, I have a way, I will do it today. There is something in front of me, I have to make a decision first." This matter is to tell Hu Xueyan the news about Hangzhou.His family was trapped by a thief and his best friend died, these were the two sad things he couldn't bear.But the old mother is alive and the family is safe, this good news is enough to offset it, so Gu Yingchun agreed that Liu Bucai should go to interview him. Grandma Qigu agreed, and of course Liu Bucai complied, but he asked to take a bath first—this was a desire he had dreamed about for days. "That's easy." Grandma Qigu said to Gu Yingchun, "You go to the bathing pond with Uncle Liu first, and I'll go home and tidy up the house." "No, no! Seventh Sister," Liu Bucai said, "I'd better live in a hotel, so I'll be more free." "Liu Sanshu likes to be free, so you let him go." Gu Yingchun echoed, he had other intentions, thinking that it might be inconvenient to say something in front of Hu Xueyan, it would be more convenient to meet Liu Bucai in the inn. On the newly opened "stone road", buy a full set of clothes, shoes and hats from inside to outside, from head to toe.Logically speaking, the torn and dirty old clothes that Liu Bucai took off could be thrown into the trash can, but he wanted to keep them. "In the past, I really didn't know the hardships of farming. Although I was down and out, I didn't know where the supper was after lunch, but I never worried. I never thought that I should be frugal when I have money. After I have changed this disaster." Liu Bucai said, "I want to keep this dress as a 'family treasure'. This is not a joke, I want my children and grandchildren to know that their ancestors have eaten this My son's pain!" Gu Yingchun was quite surprised, "Uncle Liu," he said, "I didn't expect you to have such an idea." "I was also a little stimulated. Thinking about how hard it is to live alone." Liu Bucai said, "From Santianzhu to the city, I was sad and miserable, needless to say, but nothing is as terrible as the human heart. In terms of locality, I have finally made a lot of effort. I don’t know that there is no one out of ten who say he is good. I am really not convinced. If Xueyan really collapses, or Hangzhou really can’t go back If you go, you will be wronged for the rest of your life, and your bad reputation cannot be washed away. One day when you are restored, Xueyan will still be as proud as before, and when you return to Hangzhou, I want to see what those people say." This is a complaint, Gu Yingchun has a strange feeling.Ever since he knew Liu Bucai, it was rare to hear him complain, once or twice, and always in a cold and mocking tone, this was the first time he heard such serious and angry words. After chewing the meaning of his words for a while, he finally discerned a little taste. "Uncle Liu," he asked tentatively, "It seems that you still have something to say, which is hidden in your stomach." Liu Bucai raised his eyes suddenly, stared blankly at Gu Yingchun, and nodded deeply after a long while: "Brother Yingchun, you guessed it right. I still have a few words, but I really should talk to you. Xue Yan is in a bad position." After listening to him talk, I realized that Hu Xueyan had become the target of public criticism.Some people say that he defrauded the treasury of a considerable amount of public funds in the name of buying rice. Some people say that Wang Youling's official pockets were all managed by Hu Xueyan for him.In addition, some people said how he faked public affairs for personal gain, how he had a good name, and described him as a 100% treacherous villain. "These are people who are usually jealous of Xueyan, or those who have suffered at the hands of Wang Xuegong and blame him. Crazy dogs bite and avoid them. You can ignore them, but Changmao also likes Xueyan. Yan, this is troublesome." The more you talk about it, the more strange it becomes, how can you grow hair and like Hu Xueyan?Gu Yingchun was very puzzled, but it's not surprising once he explained it. "Xueyan always likes to stand out and do good deeds. Let's say with conscience, half of him is enthusiastic and lively, and half is just for fame. Li Xiucheng heard about it and wanted to ask Xueyan to come out to deal with the aftermath for him. This made him even more jealous. It turned out that there were critics People are doing it, and if Xueyan comes forward, they won't be able to get involved with those people, so the first step is to be intimidated by bastards like Yuan Zhongqing. The second step is really vicious. It is said that those people are planning to instigate The Beijing officials want to sue Xueyan, saying that he defrauded Zhejiang of the public funds for rice purchases and wasted military supplies and national food, so please issue an order from the imperial court to investigate and deal with it.” Hearing this, Gu Yingchun turned pale with fright, "Where do you start? Isn't it to destroy his family?" He shook his head, "But I don't understand. Sure enough, an order was sent to investigate, forcing my uncle to be in the house." Shanghai can't live, so I have to go to Changmao, what good is it for them?" "Don't be busy, I still have something to say." Liu Bucai said, "They are spreading rumors again, saying that it's fine if Hu Xueyan doesn't go back to Hangzhou. Once he returns to Hangzhou, they will ring the gong and gather the crowd to settle accounts with him." "What account?" "I don't know what they are counting on? This sentence is poisonous on the four words 'Bing the gong to gather the crowd'. If it really makes such a situation, Xueyan will become a street mouse, and everyone will be beaten!" Gu Yingchun tapped his forehead, "Uncle Liu," he said, frowning tightly, "I'm confused by what you said. On the one hand, he is not allowed to go back, and on the other hand, he is forced to live in Shanghai, and he has to vote for long hair." , then what are they going to do? Could it be that they really want to force people to hang themselves, maybe it’s not that easy?” "Of course. If Xueyan wants them to be cornered, can he still become Hu Xueyan? They also know that this is impossible, and their purpose is to force Xueyan to say: You spare me, I will never come to harm you matter. Brother Ying Chun, do you think Xueyan will say this?" "If you don't want to, you have to agree. The relationship between young and old is too important." "That's a good word. But there's another difficulty." This layer of difficulties is a puzzle. One of Li Xiucheng's capable subordinates, Chen Bingwen, who is actually in charge of the government affairs of Zhejiang Province, must Hu Xueyan come forward to handle the affairs because of the difficult work of dealing with the aftermath.It is said that he has found the backer of Fukang Bank and asked him to transfer the word.According to Liu Bucai's judgment, he will arrive in Shanghai within two or three days. "According to this, I can't hide it from my little uncle." Gu Yingchun felt that the situation was tricky, and asked Liu Bucai, "You are a person who has experienced the situation, and you have always thought about it these days. What is the remedy?" "Of course I have thought about it. There is only one way to protect the family, but—" Liu Bucai shook his head and said, "You won't agree if you say it." "Tell me what's wrong." "The matter is clearly there, there is only one word: go! To be honest, Xue Yan has really gone back to Hangzhou, what can those people do with him?" Gu Yingchun didn't think so.But because Liu Bucai said it first, it is expected that he would not agree, so it is inconvenient for him to say anything to blame. "Uncle Liu," he said slowly, "we have to deal with the immediate difficulties, and we have to think about the future. In my opinion, I can only let my uncle make up his own mind on this matter."
