Not only that, Fang Linyan also discovered something,

Probably because Li Gongzhang specially took care of it when he published it in the newspaper, he also listed the person who can send the painting back.

It can be seen that this incident has been spread throughout the country and is well-known to every household, so it should be recorded in later generations.

If not, it means that this matter is exclusive to this plane.

Fang Linyan then keenly realized that if he wanted to find an opportunity to get close to Li Gongzhang and gain his trust, then this entry point would be a good time! But the prerequisite is to get this painting.

Immediately, Fang Linyan shook his head. There must be many people watching such an obvious clue.

If only one dog is looking at a bone, its value will certainly not be much lower.

But if there is more than one dog staring at this bone, as well as a group of wolves and a few tigers, and maybe there are hunters hiding next to it, then the meaning of this bone is really not that great, and the risks and benefits are not proportional at all.

However, Fang Linyan always felt that there seemed to be something hidden in such widely circulated information. He pondered for a while, and after reading the remaining newspapers, he completed the first step of collecting information.

Then he waved to the waiter and said:

"Little brother, where can the ships in the harbor go?"

The waiter in the tea shop welcomed many customers and had answered Fang Linyan’s questions for N times. He immediately took the two copper coins handed over by Fang Linyan and said with a smile.

:

"This guest, there are passenger ships to Tianjin and Shanghai at Jiao'ao Port, twenty miles away, every two days."

Then the second brother looked at the two big yellow coins in his palm and lowered his voice and said:

"The bald fifth man sitting next to the stage also has a boat to other places, but it leaves from Mingshui Private Port. The price is three times more expensive than the normal one. He can go to Keelung and Naha."

Fang Linyan nodded, appearing calm on the surface, but feeling quite regretful in his heart. The lack of a direct ship to Japan meant that he would be delayed for at least five days on the road.

Yes, Fang Linyan has now made up his mind to go directly to the Japanese mainland to carry out destruction.

Although the power of an individual is small in front of the entire country, the scope of "individual" definitely does not include space warriors, and he is also a cheating space warrior.

For Fang Linyan, there are fundamentally two options to change the outcome of the Sino-Japanese War of 1898-1894. The first option is to make the Beiyang Fleet stronger, and of course the other option is to make the Japanese combined fleet weaker.

!!

At that time, Japan did not have the powerful national power of the Sakura Empire to attack the Soviet Union in the east and the United States in the north.

In 1890, the entire Japanese navy was even one-third smaller than that of the Qing Dynasty! The total tonnage of the Qing Dynasty's ships was 27,000 tons, while Japan's was only 16,700 tons.

It was only at that time that the whole of Japan bet on the fate of the country, and all civil and military officials had to pay one-tenth of their salaries. Even the emperor's official residence had to spend 300,000 yuan as an example. Only in 1893 did the navy equal the Qing Dynasty's navy.

tonnage.

On the eve of the Sino-Japanese War, the total tonnage of Japan's ships had expanded to 72,000 tons! 70% of the overall income of the entire national economy was consumed in military expenditures. If the Sino-Japanese War had not been fought, or even fought a year later, Japan's domestic economy would have

collapse.

It is worth mentioning that what was the Qing Dynasty doing at this time? Lafayette was celebrating his 60th birthday, and Li Gongzhang reimbursed 6 million silver. This money should have been used to expand and maintain the Beiyang Fleet.

Therefore, in fact, Japan's national power is quite fragile at this time, and it is definitely not in a situation that cannot be shaken. However, Fang Linyan has always been convinced of one thing, that is, it is far easier to destroy than to build!

Obviously, it must be more difficult to make the Beiyang Fleet stronger than it is to make the Japanese Combined Fleet weak.

"Then let's go to Tianjin."

Fang Linyan made up his mind, and the reason was very simple. At this time, China and Japan had not officially started war. There was only a small friction in North Korea. Therefore, there was a direct passenger ship from Tianjin to Japan. In the past, it only took one day and one night.

After making up his mind, Fang Linyan immediately stood up and prepared to leave. However, at this time, a group of people rushed in at the door of the teahouse. To be precise, they were a group of government officials and a beggar-looking guy.

Fang Linyan's heart suddenly moved after seeing it. The beggar had a birthmark the size of a copper coin on his cheek. This is an extremely easy-to-identify physical feature...

So is this a revelation?

The key is that according to Fang Linyan's deduction, after he killed the five pursuers - no, his identity in this world was a gangster - the official reaction would not come until at least three days later.

And under normal circumstances, the people within the yamen should be in ecstasy and try to steal each other's credit to reach the PY deal, because four of the five guys are wanted criminals, and their accumulated bonuses add up to two

One thousand taels of silver.

However, the reaction of these government officials was unexpectedly fast! It felt like Fang Linyan did not kill five gangsters, but directly killed the entire family of the Jiaoao County Magistrate.

Fang Linyan squinted his eyes. He knew very well that there must be a demon when something went wrong:

"Then it's obvious that someone with ulterior motives is using official power to find my whereabouts!"

At this time, the owner of the teahouse had already come up to him with Xiao Xiao, and seemed to want to ask what happened, but the leading yamen officer pushed him away rudely and scolded him a few times.

It stands to reason that the people who open teahouses here are all local cowards, and they should have a good relationship with the official figures, but from this small gesture, it can be seen that the pressure on the government officials is quite high.

Fang Linyan secretly sneered at this, and just sat there motionless. The beggar walked in front of him two or three times, but he completely regarded him as a transparent person.

This is the power of "Quilro's Turban". It can minimize the wearer's sense of presence. Combined with the Ring of the Masonic Brotherhood obtained in the previous world, it is a killer weapon.

If what Fang Linyan hadn't done before was an extremely impressive thing like killing someone, the beggar would have simply ignored his existence. Even so, the beggar could only remember "someone killed someone."

As for more details, at most I can only remember that a man killed the man dressed as a scholar. As for whether the man was old or young, beautiful or ugly, there is no impression at all.

So this is the reason why Fang Linyan is sitting here calmly.

Soon, the officer took the witness and left cursingly. Before leaving, of course, he also accepted a small ingot of silver that the teahouse owner handed over with a smile.

At this time, Fang Linyan's mind was rapidly analyzing and reasoning:

"The person who can control these treacherous government servants must be the immediate boss who holds the power of life and death! The most likely person is the local county magistrate, or someone who can directly pinch the magistrate's vitals."

"Everyone has a purpose and interest in doing things. The people who trace my identity are most likely other space warriors. They may have caught the county magistrate, and they may use the lives of the magistrate and his relatives.

Blackmail. Of course, there is also the possibility of being born with additional identity choices like me!"

"Then, should I trace back and give the other party a blow?"

As soon as this thought arose, it was immediately extinguished by Fang Linyan:

"No, if you do this, it will actually be easy for the other party to predict. Does he really expect that a few government officials can catch me? The purpose is not to alert the snake, but when I go to investigate, the other party says

Maybe they have predicted my prediction a long time ago, and they are just waiting there to work, waiting for me to fall into a trap."

"By the way, if this is the case, then this place has become the other party's home field. The information I can get from the teahouse boy's mouth, then it is impossible that the other party does not know, and also knows more. Whether this ship is a passenger ship or

It seems that we can no longer ride on the ships in the private harbor."

"The purpose of my entering this world this time is not to fight people to death, but to resurrect my teammates. So bye bye, everyone, I will leave first as a mark of respect!"

Fang Linyan was a person who did whatever he thought. He sneered, stood up and left the teahouse directly. Then he bought twenty buns from the bun shop next to him and headed directly towards Tianjin.

This is a completely unexpected way to break the situation, and it is also the stupidest way, but sometimes stupid ways are often very effective.

As for Fang Linyan, his agility has been increased to 10 points, and his running speed has reached 40 kilometers per hour. The distance from Tianjin to Qingdao is just over 500 kilometers. If he sets out now, he will be there by the time the rooster crows for the first time tomorrow.

Tianjin.

It’s just that everything has pros and cons. Although the digital body is powerful, it does not mean that there will be no side effects, pain, etc. A moderate-intensity exercise that lasts for ten hours will definitely require some hard work on the way, and lactic acid will accumulate next.

The waiting reaction is inevitable.

At this time, Fang Linyan also found out that the current emperor's reign name was actually Qixiang! And the emperor's name was Aixinjueluo Zaize.

In the history that Fang Linyan is familiar with, this era name is an abandoned era name. To put it simply, it is a backup for the "Tongzhi" era name. As for Aixinjueluo Zaize, he has never heard of it at all.

Already.

***

Three hours later,

In the restaurant opposite the county government office, a middle-aged man wearing a hat with dog ears suddenly opened his eyes, then picked up the tea cup in front of him and poured out the tea inside.

Immediately afterwards, he threw three coins into the tea cup, each with a face value of one dollar.

Then, he used the technique of shaking the dice to shake the tea cup, and finally placed the tea cup with the mouth down on the table, and then slowly opened it.

As you can see, all three coins on the table have the national emblem facing up, and the side with the Arabic numeral 1 facing down.

The man's expression changed and he drew a line next to it.

After repeating this five times, a discerning person should be able to tell that this middle-aged man is using coins to divine the hexagrams, and then using the I Ching to interpret the hexagrams.

It is worth mentioning that this man is tall and burly, with blue eyes and fair skin, a fat and red nose, and high cheekbones. He looks like a Russian at first glance, but he is using China's oldest and mysterious method to predict the future.

The combination of the two has a rather strange feeling.

However, when he shook the tea cup for the sixth time, the tea cup suddenly made a soft sound of "Gler" and cracked! And the crack was quite strange. Two cracks appeared in the whole cup, showing a crisscrossing trend.

Seeing this scene, the man sighed, and then said to the person next to him:

"Lao Wu, there's no need to guard anymore. This man is very smart, so he probably won't come."

A long-haired man frowned and said:

"How could this happen? Logically speaking, he should have come to see from a distance anyway. Is there something wrong with you, Xiongya?"

The middle-aged man known as Xiong Ya said angrily:

"My King Wen's divination skills are infallible! The instruments I use for divination are automatically destroyed, which means that the target of the divination cannot be found at all, which means that he has left me eighty kilometers away."

As if to enhance his persuasiveness, the bear fang punched the table in front of him, and the table immediately shattered with a "snap"!

Please note that this table is like a piece of glass dropped to the ground. It shatters into small pieces with a "whistle"! What kind of fist force is required to achieve such an effect?
