Chapter 14 Prison

Lu Haodong and the others were waiting at the agreed place.

Seeing that Yu Chunqiu was coming, Lu Haodong breathed a sigh of relief.

The revolutionaries hated opium very much.

Some people suggested that all these opiums should be burned directly and that drugs should not be spread and harmed.

Yu Chunqiu shook his head and said, "No. I need to use these opium as bait. We have two purposes to snatch foreigners' goods. One is to prevent opium from spreading and harming people, and the other is to get a fortune from foreigners. Now we have only achieved the first goal."

Only Lu Haodong knew Yu Chunqiu’s plan.

In order not to cause misunderstandings, Yu Chunqiu raised the second purpose of the plan to dispel everyone's concerns.

After all, if you really sell these opium as goods, you will make a fortune.

Yu Chunqiu is not a comrade of the Farmers Association, and is not a real person. It is normal for them to be afraid that Yu Chunqiu will have greed.

Similarly, Yu Chunqiu did not express the detailed plan.

Although the people in the peasant association are all revolutionaries, they know people and face but not their hearts. Not everyone's revolutionary beliefs are as firm as Lu Haodong.

Yu Chunqiu also had to prevent someone from going to the yamen or reporting to foreigners.

Yu Chunqiu glanced at them and said expressionlessly: "Brother Haodong stays, others leave first."

Lu Haodong is a core member of the Farmers Association and Mr. Sun's right-hand man. His status and prestige are relatively high.

Lu Haodong nodded to the comrades of the Farmers Association and signaled them to leave first.

After everyone left.

Lu Haodong asked, "Brother Yu, our comrades in the Farmers Association are all reliable people. If you are on guard against them, they will have ideas in their hearts."

Yu Chunqiu said: "I don't doubt them. My doing so is just the most superficial way of keeping confidentiality."

"Brother Haodong, I am an outsider, but I have to say something more. You are revolutionaries and want to do big things, but your confidentiality work is really full of loopholes."

"You missed your whereabouts a few times. If I hadn't sent you a message and asked the brothers of the Farmers' Association to evacuate early, you would have been taken away by Nalan Yuanshu."

Why did the revolutionaries fail in the previous armed uprisings? The huge gap between the strength and the Qing court is only one aspect. More importantly, the confidentiality work was not done well, which allowed the enemy to be prepared for it.

If you can really achieve "unpredictable attacks", how can you not win?

Yu Chunqiu carried two boxes of goods.

Yu Chunqiu has already stepped on the spot, and to the southeast, three miles away from this place, there is a dry cave that is just for placing these goods.

With Yu Chunqiu's current physical fitness and physical strength, just take some time to transport all the goods.

Lu Haodong nodded and said, "Brother Yu, you are right. Our confidentiality work is indeed problematic. Mr. Sun and I will pay attention in the future."

Lu Haodong wanted to help, so he grabbed a box and tried his best, but the box didn't move at all.

The weight of a box is more than 200 kilograms, and it takes three people to carry it.

Yu Chunqiu smiled and said, "Forget it, Brother Haodong, you are a literati, so just take a pen. Just move the goods and let me come alone."

Lu Haodong rubbed his wrists and said, "It seems like you are not a scholar. Brother Yu, you are also a scholar."

Seeing that Yu Chunqiu was carrying more than 500 kilograms of goods, his walking was light and flexible, and he seemed to be not at all difficult. Lu Haodong felt that Yu Chunqiu's physical strength was really scary.

No wonder he was able to kill so many foreigners by himself. Is this the so-called overlord's power to carry the tripod?

...

Huang Feihong came to the Guangzhou Yamen to report the case and asked the Yamen to deal with the bodies of foreigners outside the city.

All the officials in the yamen in Guangzhou were shocked.

That's a foreigner.

How precious are foreigners? It is a huge matter to die a foreigner, let alone so many foreigners died at once.

Both the governors of Guangdong and Guangxi were alarmed.

The governor found Admiral Nalan Yuanshu: "Mr. Nalan, the foreign consulate has put pressure on the official and asked the yamen to hand over the murderer within three days. Otherwise, it would be difficult for you and I to explain."

Nalan Yuan said, "Governor General, there is something strange about this. Huang Feihong came to report the case and said that it was the White Lotus Sect killing and robbing people, but I have checked the corpses of those foreigners. I don't think it's done by the White Lotus Sect."

What is the White Lotus Sect?

Nalan Yuanshu is very clear.

The bandits of the White Lotus Sect are just idiots who have been brainwashed by superstition. They are okay to destroy, smash, burn and rob.

Let the "Nine Palace Real People" of the White Lotus Sect kill and rob people and attack the foreigners' musket array? They don't have the courage.

"Divine power protects the body."

"Invulnerable to swords and guns."

Just shout such slogans. Except for the people at the bottom of the White Lotus Sect who are brainwashed, they will believe it, but the core personnel like Jiugong Zhenren will not believe it at all.

Because lies were woven by the real person in the Nine Palaces.

The Governor's face looked a little bad: "I don't care who the murderer is. Admiral, we only have three days. Please be sure to find the person."

Nalan Yuanshu took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart: "You should do your best."

Walk out of the Governor's Office.

Nalan Yuanshu's face was full of anger. A Han official dared to give orders to him!

It's really outrageous.

Nowadays, Han officials are powerful, such as Zeng Guofan, Li Hongzhang, Zuo Zongtang, Zhang Zhidong and others, who are all powerful people in the local area. Although some of them have died of old age and illness, the power they have created is still there, and their disciples and officials are still there.

Where is the bannerman?

I had long lost the energy I had when I entered the pass, and I could only play tricks on birds and walk my dogs, eat and wait for death.

No matter how unhappy Nalan Yuanshu was, he had to swallow his anger for the time being.

...

Huang Feihong took Aunt Thirteen and two disciples to stay in the inn.

The streets outside were depressed, and from time to time, officers, soldiers, yamen run over the streets, chasing people from the White Lotus Sect.

Sometimes there will be a few gunshots.

Aunt Thirteen said, "Feihong, I didn't expect that Guangzhou City is more chaotic than Foshan."

Huang Feihong looked solemn and nodded, "It's even more chaotic than Foshan. Aunt Thirteen, I'll go to purchase medicinal materials tomorrow morning. When the medical exchange meeting ends, we will go back to Foshan immediately."

Huang Feihong came to Guangzhou this time and was invited to attend the Guangzhou medical conference. He also bought some medicinal materials needed by Baozhilin.

However, I didn't expect Guangzhou to be so chaotic.

The Shahe Gang in Foshan is simply a slight witch compared to the White Lotus Sect in Guangzhou.

It was at this moment.

Bang!

The door was roughly knocked open.

Nalan Yuanshu walked in with his soldiers.

Huang Feihong stood up and asked, "Admiral, what do you mean?"

Nalan Yuanshu looked cold and said, "Huang Feihong, I suspect you have something to do with the case of foreigners being killed and robbed. I will return to the Admiral's Office with me."

Nalan Yuanshu did not take Huang Feihong to the Admiral’s Office, but directly imprisoned Huang Feihong to prison.

...

Yu Chunqiu only learned about Huang Feihong's imprisonment the next morning.

What did Nalan Yuanshu do to arrest Huang Feihong?

Yu Chunqiu was almost fooled by Nalan Yuanshu, and he was a little confused about Nalan Yuanshu's way of doing things.
