PS: The emperor had a cold and fever. He went to the hospital in the morning and had a fluid intake. He went home at noon and fell asleep in a drowsy way. He got up at four o'clock and wrote a chapter. Now he was just kicked out. I hurried to deliver it to everyone!

I was exhausted when I took care of my father who had passed away some time ago. I didn’t expect that it would always break out now... The emperor will continue to rest for a day tomorrow, and I guess I can only update one chapter at that time. Please forgive me!

Rest is for a better job. Please give the emperor two days, and the emperor will definitely give back to everyone with better works! Thank you!

Finally, thank you for your great reward from last night to today - Ye, laughing at the eternal love, Ji Ge'er, Doutian Legend, Dong Zi, Yu Feizi, Qingshan Wanhuan, Jin Mu Canchen for his great reward, thank you for your recommendation votes and collections!

******************************

At 11:00 a.m. the next day, the passenger ship finally arrived at the Hangzhou Chengnan Canal Estuary Passenger Terminal.

The boat owner had already booked a small wooden boat that was specially designed to walk the canal. He was very concerned about sending Fang Youchun and his family to the boat. He said goodbye to Wu Ming politely, saying that the shipbuilding would be in touch within half a month, and it would be okay to give the deposit back. He also told him that if he walked this line again in the future, he would definitely find him, and if he had time to go to Quzhou, he would have to drink a few more drinks. Then he ordered the boatman to take the guests directly to the Beiguan Wharf to get ashore.

When the small wooden boat was six or seven meters away from the shore, the boss of the boat suddenly took out a cloth bag from behind, waved his strong one arm and threw it out. Seeing Fang Youchun reaching out to catch it, he immediately turned around and left.

Fang Youchun held the heavy cloth bag in his hand and his eyes were flushed. He stood at the stern of the boat for a long time until he could not see the shadow of his old subordinates. Then he turned around and sat down, put the bag containing at least two hundred silver dollars in the suitcase, and whispered to his wife: "They were afraid that I would not accept it, so they asked Lao Zhong to throw it over. Take it first and remember the number."

Mrs. Fang nodded: "Don't worry, I've recorded everything."

Wu Ming was so moved that he had no mood to appreciate the scenery of the two sides of the Taiwan Strait. He held his two apprentices to explain this touching thing in detail, educated his apprentices through this matter, so that they could know what friendship is and what true brotherhood is.

It was not until he arrived at Beiguan Wharf that Wu Ming took the lead and got off the boat. Under the guidance of Fang Youchun, everyone boarded three rickshaws and went directly to Jiekou Inn, where the provincial party committee was located.

When checking in the room, I finally needed to show my identity certificate. Fortunately, Wu Ming and Fang Zhichun also brought them. The inn shopkeeper smiled and took out the keys, explaining that he was not so long-winded before. It was just half a year ago that the Provincial Police Department and the Hangzhou Police Bureau jointly issued a letter to strictly require a step-by-step investigation. Everyone must register their identity certificates for accommodation, otherwise they will be affected if they are found out.

After entering the house to put down his luggage, Wu Ming sat on a chair and waited for a while. It was difficult to go to the next door to disturb the two women who needed to wash and change clothes. After waiting patiently for more than half an hour, Fang Youchun came back, and a guy carrying a food box was followed behind him. He put a few simple meals on the table in the middle. The two women next door also brought their children over here and asked Wu Ming and the other two to sit down and have dinner quickly.

Wu Ming patiently finished his late lunch, and when everyone stopped, he smiled and said, "Brother Fang, sister-in-law, when I arrived in Hangzhou, I want to think about myself..."

"Don't think so much. I've been with me to the provincial government and the provincial party committee these days. You are so smart, you can't do it without you." Fang Youchun took the tea handed over by his wife and put it in front of Wu Ming.

Mrs. Fang hurriedly smiled and said, "Yes! When your brother's business is done, can't you go wherever you want to go? It's not too late for a few days! Also, Xiao Xin is still thinking about going to see West Lake with you. Who asked you to promise him on the boat?"

Wu Ming was stunned. He looked at this and that. Finally, he saw a gloating smile on Fang Zhichun's face. He immediately realized that Fang Youchun had planned it, so he had no choice but to tell the truth: "Sister-in-law, Brother Fang, I want to go to Shanghai to see it. I believe that with Brother Fang's ability and connections, he will definitely be able to get things done alone, and at most it will be delayed for a few more days."

Mrs. Fang looked at her husband in embarrassment, and Fang Youchun leaned heavily toward the back of the chair:

"My brother, since you respect me as your elder brother, I want to say a few words to you... I don't care about how you lived like this before, but you are alone now, without a family, without brothers and sisters, and the world is so chaotic, your sister-in-law and I are not at ease with you... If you can trust your elder brother, don't go out and go out for a stroll. I believe that I can restore my position and take back everything I have lost, so please stay and follow me, just treat it as helping me."

"Follow you? Join the army with you?" Wu Ming opened his eyes wide.

Fang Youchun lowered his face: "What's wrong with being a soldier? I've been a soldier for 19 years. Now Japan is restless in the Northeast. You also say that the Northeast will soon be in danger and the country will be in trouble. You are a seven-foot man. Shouldn't you do anything for the country and nation? Do you look down on me, a down-and-out soldier, or do you have other ideas?"

Wu Ming shook his head repeatedly: "Brother, stop talking about these angry words in the future. There is no reason. I am used to being lazy and just want to live a few days of free life. As for what kind of people who are responsible for the national crisis, I can't afford to say it either! Besides, serving the country does not necessarily mean to be a soldier, right?"

Fang Youchun smiled coldly: "What are you doing if you don't join the army? Are you twenty-five years old? What else do you want to do except shoot and kill people? By the way, I heard you can also speak English. Are you planning to go to Shanghai to make money from the national crisis and become a comprador who sells the country and seeks glory?"

Wu Ming couldn't help laughing: "Brother, I didn't expect you to have such good eloquence. I admire you! You are not **, right?"

"What are you talking nonsense about me?" Mrs. Fang was reluctant, and looked outside nervously before she felt relieved. She gave Wu Ming a angrily glance and whispered to him to be cautious.

Wu Ming could only give in: "Okay! I won't mention it from now on, but I'm not convinced just now. I want to ask a few words, Brother, why do you think I can't do anything other than killing people? Why do you say that I can only be a traitor comprador when I can speak English?"

"If I had a good guess, you grew up in Shangrao, Jiangxi Province since childhood. What else would you do besides being able to play guns and speak English?" Fang Youchun asked Wu Ming without hesitation.

When Mrs. Fang and Mrs. Fang Zhichun saw Wu Ming slowly lowering their faces, they immediately felt bad, but they did not dare to participate in the argument between the two men, so they could only worry.

Wu Ming took a deep breath and quickly calmed down: "Brother, you have looked down on me. If I say I have studied advanced mathematics, advanced physics and advanced chemistry, mastered engineering materials science and structural mechanics, were familiar with industrial and civil construction, structural design, highway and topography surveying, and could also write design papers in English, do you believe it?"

Fang Youchun and his wife were stunned. They didn't know what most of what Wu Ming said was. Fang Youchun had studied at the Catholic Church School in Hangzhou for two years, but he studied French, as well as subjects such as world history and French literature. He did not learn any natural science except for the basics of mathematics.

Fang Zhichun was even more shocked. Her major in university was the subject of liberal arts and history, but it did not prevent her from understanding some of the advanced knowledge Wu Ming said. Moreover, most of them were far beyond her understanding. She could only say that she had heard of it. She couldn't help asking Wu Ming: "Where did you learn it? Could it be that you fool us again, right?"

Wu Ming stood up with a wry smile: "Don't care where I learned it. Anyway, I have the things I said in my mind. I never deceive myself, so there is no problem of me fooling you. If you don't believe me, you can just give me a question. Brother Fang, you won't think that I will do anything other than killing people and being able to speak a few foreign words, right?"

Fang Youchun had nothing to say, so Mrs. Fang hurried up and pulled Wu Ming to sit down.

Wu Ming had to sit down: "Whether you believe it or not, I will argue for myself today: No one is willing to kill people. The reason why I killed people was forced because someone hit my mother with a carriage, but there was no guilt or legal investigation. I continued to wander around and lived a very comfortable life. When I went to take revenge, they caught me, so I threw me into prison and beat me to death. Now I still have four scars on my head.

"You said, if it were you, wouldn't you want to kill people? As for later, I was accidentally caught up with a bandit on the way to escape. In order to survive, I could only shoot more than a dozen bandits who were invaded with a gun. It was purely self-protection. What's more, I killed the bandits that the government tried every means to wipe out... My sister-in-law knows these things, who dares to say that I am a murderer? To be honest, I not only don't regret it, but I'm very open-minded!"

Fang Youchun stood up apologetically: "My brother, no one said you are a murderer, and my brother definitely believes in your character, but we don't want to see you go out and take risks again, stay and help me!"

Wu Ming also realized his incompetence and didn't want to say anything anymore. He stood up and walked out. The two apprentices quickly followed.

Mrs. Fang got up and was about to chase her out. Fang Youchun hurriedly stopped him: "Let him go out for a walk, he feels uncomfortable, alas! It's all my fault, I'm so anxious."

"Will he leave without saying goodbye?" Fang Zhichun was very worried.

Fang Youchun comforted, "Don't worry, when he was on the boat, he had already promised to complete the work with me. He is a man who values ​​friendship and trustworthiness, so don't worry."

Mrs. Fang asked, "What about after you finish your business?"

Fang Youchun's eyes were closed and he said confidently: "He can't leave after finishing his work. I believe that he will be able to regain his post this time. No matter how much the price is spent, I will work hard to do it. After that, I will talk to him openly and let him be my adjutant first, and let him go down to lead the troops in a year and a half... This guy has real skills. You just need to look at the two young men around him to know his methods."

"What if the matter cannot be done?" Fang Zhichun asked.

Fang Youchun sighed quietly: "If we can't handle it, our family will be over. We can't protect ourselves by then. Do we still have the face to drag him down? Alas..."
