Chapter 51: Chasing the Soul (4)

The guide finished his words respectfully and waited for the response from Mr. Liu Yizhou Liu, the staff member of the Fujian governor's yamen in his eyes. But when he heard these words, Chen Kai's heart suddenly thumped.

This time, Chen Kai deceived the city under the pretext of purchasing military rations. According to the system, he had to make Che Renzhong and Huang Menglin believe that the Guangdong Governor's Yamen would definitely agree to this matter, so that he would have the possibility to temporarily enter the city.

.And according to the original plan, all actions need to be based on this incident to achieve unexpected results.

But now, people from the Guangdong Governor's Yamen suddenly appeared in Chaozhou, and this problem has become more than simple. Not to mention, as long as the people from the Guangdong Governor's Yamen raised the issue and they did not receive the

If the official document could not be delivered, he, the Ke family brothers, and even the two hundred elite Ming troops brought by Du Hui would probably be in a desperate situation!

Chen Kai was in a state of turmoil in his heart, but it didn't show on Chen Kai's face, who had been engaged in various business negotiations for many years. His past experiences had given him too much experience, and it had been helping him survive and move forward since he came to this era. And

Now, it is the same.

"That's great. Quickly lead the way. I'll be there right away."

Saying that, Chen Kai looked excited and started to walk towards the government office. But after walking a few steps, even the guide had not followed him, but Chen Kai turned around and hurried back to the post office.

Go to the museum.

"Mr. Liu?"

Chen Kai didn't stop on his feet, and immediately said to the guide in a nutshell: "Just wait for me for a moment, I will go to the branch office and let them prepare early. This is military rations, so we can't waste time!"

"

This reason was reasonable. The guide nodded and stopped at the door, letting Chen Kai stride in. Chen Kai left and returned, and Ke Chenshu was also worried. Seeing this, Chen Kai quickly said to him

Explained: "There is a sudden visitor from the Guangdong governor's office. I will deal with it, but you must not be careful. If I am exposed, you will try to escape from the city..."

"Chen Shenjun, this is absolutely impossible. Our brothers have received military orders from the country before coming here. It doesn't matter whether we take the city or not. If something goes wrong, we will fight to the death to protect you and get out!"

Chen Kai was deeply moved by Zheng Chenggong's regard for him and Ke Chenshu's friendship. However, now that time was running out, he had no time to dwell on it anymore, so he had to order Ke Chenshu: "I am responsible for seizing the city this time.

You will be outside, and your orders will not be accepted. Now listen to me. If things don't work out, you will definitely try to escape and preserve your strength. Don't worry about me, I will have my own solution. If you don't receive the news, you can do it.

Don’t act rashly, especially Du Hui will be notified!"

Du Hui's arrival means the official launch. But now the situation has suddenly become complicated. If they alert the snake, they may be bitten by the poisonous snake. Their military strength is already at a disadvantage. If they want to win, they must first deceive Che Renzhong and Huang Menglin.

Only in this way can an unexpected effect be achieved. Even so, the outcome is only 50 to 50, let alone a situation where the plot fails and you are bitten instead.

After saying this, Chen Kai stopped talking and hurriedly left the post house. The nervousness just now turned into excitement the moment he stepped out of Ke Chenshu's room. It was like a split personality, showing another personality.

in the eyes of the guide.

You only have one chance, if you succeed, you will live, if you fail, you will die!

With his mind wandering, the sedan quickly brought Chen Kai to the prefect's Yamen. At this moment, Huang Menglin was here, the man from the Guangdong Governor's Yamen was also here, and even Che Renzhong was sitting there, as if

The three divisions are all waiting for Chen Kai to appear in court.

"Students have seen Che Zongzhen and Huang Fuzun."

After bowing politely to the two men above him, Chen Kai turned to the man and asked without waiting for an introduction: "I dare to ask this Shangguan, but he is the envoy sent by Governor Tong. Fujian's army is in urgent need of food. Please arrange it as soon as possible."

.”

Chen Kai took the lead. The man was stunned for a moment, then stood up and saluted Chen Kai: "I don't dare to be a Shangguan. I am also a staff member of the Governor's Office of Guangdong and Guangxi. I am very different from Mr. Liu. It's just that this time I listen to Chezongzhen.

He and Huang Fuzun mentioned that there is an official matter of purchasing military rations, but I have never heard of it, so I specially asked Mr. Liu to come and find out more about it."

The staff member spoke Mandarin with a Cantonese accent. Judging from his appearance, he looked like an ordinary staff member. These two points were very important, and they flashed through Chen Kai's mind, and then he asked sharply: "No.

Possibly, Mr. Wu Liben and Wu Qian set out nearly ten days before me, and since it is convenient to sail on the sea, he should have arrived in Guangzhou long ago. How could he not have received the official document?"

Hope turned to disappointment, and Chen Kai showed his resentment vividly. The aide was originally ordered to come to run errands and explain temporarily, but who knew that this "Liu Yizhou" had a short temper, and even bluntly refuted his remarks, and his heart was full of emotions.

A little anger rose.

"I have indeed neither seen nor heard of the Mr. Wu Qian that Mr. Liu mentioned, especially regarding the official document. Even Mr. Liu, I have never heard of it."

After the staff said this, they also felt regret in their hearts. Most of the staff knew about it, including those in the same yamen or in the same area. This was also necessary for the exchange of official documents. But he was a staff member of the Governor's Yamen of Guangdong and Guangxi in Guangzhou, and in front of him

This person is from the Fujian Governor's Yamen, so it's normal not to know. But if you have to make your words clear, it seems a bit deliberate, which will offend people.

As expected, when he heard this, "Liu Yizhou" immediately became furious, pointed at the staff member and shouted: "Are you saying that I am a liar?!"

It's one thing to feel regretful, but when someone directly pointed at you and asked, the staff member was furious. Although he didn't say anything at the moment, looking at his expression, it clearly said "I just think you are a fake."

Look.

Originally he just came over to explain something and explore the details of "Liu Yizhou", but the two of them started to quarrel as soon as they met. Fortunately, Che Renzhong thought it was a joke, but it was hard because of Huang Menglin - he was a civil servant

, this place is his government office, and two governor-level staff quarreled on his territory. It is not just these two who are embarrassed, but he will also be laughed at.

"You two, please be patient. We are all on official business. For the sake of the emperor and the court, please don't get angry. Don't get angry."

With that said, the prefect was about to come down to smooth things over. Unexpectedly, Liu Yizhou, who had always been domineering, ignored him and shouted directly to the Guangdong staff: "I have been a wrapper in the Tong family for more than ten years, and now there are even official documents.

Hand, you are the one who came out of nowhere and how dare you question me?"

Chen Kai made it clear that he did not believe the other party's identity, but this immediately made Che Renzhong and Huang Menglin stunned. They had never seen this Guangdong staff member before, and he did bring a serious official document when he came, which was to remind Che

Ren Zhong and Huang Menglin kept an eye on the border between Chaozhou and Zhangzhou to prevent the Ming army and rebels from Fujian from rushing to Guangdong. However, after Chen Kai's reminder, the Guangdong staff questioned Chen Kai, who also had official documents, so he

Who can prove its authenticity?

The pot of porridge seemed to be about to tumble, and even Huang Menglin did not step forward to dissuade him. Instead, he wanted to see how these two people would react.

However, as soon as they heard that "Liu Yizhou" was born in Baoyi, and probably knew that he had offended someone who should not be offended, the Guangdong staff immediately lost a lot of confidence, and instead started to explain themselves.

identity instead of continuing to question "Liu Yizhou".

But when it came to this, "Liu Yizhou" seemed a little reluctant, and immediately interrupted the Guangdong staff, and the yin and yang aura appeared in front of Che Renzhong and Huang Menglin three times.

"Since you can't trust me, and I can't trust you, it's better to verify the authenticity. With your position in the governor's office, and knowing the affairs of the proprietor's family, I'm afraid you won't be less well-covered than I am."

"Liu Yizhou" has always been very powerful. This time, the Guangdong staff was hesitant. Even Huang Menglin wanted to settle the matter. But before he left his mouth, "Liu Yizhou" immediately responded with "How dare you"?

passed.

There was no room for change, so the Guangdong staff had no choice but to accept "Liu Yizhou's" invitation to fight. The method was very simple. I personally wanted him to ask three questions about Tong Jia's family, but it would be rude and would not offend his employer and master.

The affairs of Tong Yangjia and Tong Guonai are not allowed to be asked.

The rules were set by the domineering "Liu Yizhou", and the first question was asked by "Liu Yizhou". However, as soon as this question came out, the other three people present were stunned on the spot, and no one knew anything about it.

Known.

"Your Excellency is highly regarded in the Governor's Yamen. You should know that Manchus are nobles and pay special attention to respecting their elders. Then, I would like to ask about the name of the ancestor of the Tong Jia family!"

Such a tricky question immediately stumped the three of them. It was "Liu Yizhou" who was stunned and speechless for a moment before he announced the answer as if he was shaking off a burden.

"The ancestor of the Tong Jia family, Zun Bahu, was very cautious. It was ridiculous and some people didn't know why. He insisted on saying that the master was a Han, and he laughed his head off."

"Liu Yizhou"'s words seemed to be saying that the Guangdong staff was ignorant. However, the staff had nothing to say about this. He really didn't know about this kind of thing, let alone him. Which staff would know this?

What a mysterious thing.

With such a staff, in the eyes of Che Renzhong and Huang Menglin, the identity of "Liu Yizhou" is even more impressive. If nothing else, a servant who is undercover can know so many things, I am afraid that it is not just the word confidant.

It can be summarized.

"Second question, the Tong Jia clan made great contributions to the Qing Dynasty, and some members of the clan died in battle back then. May I ask, sir, what is the honorific name of the Tong Jia clan guard who died in battle in Ming Dynasty when Ming general Mao Wenlong raided Zhenjiang?"

In the first year of Tianqi, Mao Wenlong successfully raided Zhenjiang. This was the first victory of the Ming Dynasty in the war against Hou Jin Dynasty, and it was also the first time to regain lost territory and sacrifice prisoners. This question is much simpler than the previous one. Many people actually

Everyone has heard about it. It’s just that this person died too early and his reputation was not obvious. In the era when Tong Jia’s governors and ministers gathered together, and it could be said that there were many stars shining brightly, he was really not a famous figure.

"The ancestor of the Tong Jia family who fought hard and died for his country respects taboo and upholds truth."

Tong Yangzhen, later generations often called him Tong Yangzheng because they avoided the taboo of Yongzheng's name, but now there is no need to consider the taboo. Tong Yangzhen was killed by Mao Wenlong, the Guangning guerrilla at that time, and later the chief military officer of Dongjiang Town, and Chen Liangce anyway.

The achievements of the Manchu Qing Dynasty cannot be compared with those of Tong Yangxing and others of the same generation, but their descendants produced many queens and powerful ministers, and the limelight actually surpassed the former. Later generations said that reincarnation was a technology, but in fact

, "giving birth to a baby" is even more of a skill.

After two questions in a row, the Guangdong staff were speechless. The outcome could actually be determined, but "Liu Yizhou" was obviously a little reluctant.

"You don't even know the question. It seems that you don't know much about my employer's affairs. Well, let me ask you a simple question again. What does the word Tong Jia mean in Manchu?"

Manchu?

It must be known that even many Eight Banners disciples, especially Han Junqi and Mongolian Junqi, knew nothing about it. But this "Liu Yizhou" insisted that the problem was simple, and the Guangdong staff were so angry that they were all confused.

"Appreciate further details."

These four words came out of the Guangdong staff's mouth, and "Liu Yizhou" responded with a scornful smile.

"Lucky bird."

After three battles and three victories, when he met someone who knew Tong Jia so well, the Guangdong staff had no choice but to admit that they were unlucky. They apologized without even asking questions, and left in a hurry - he probably knew what he could think of.

The questions asked by "Liu Yizhou" are also completely childish, and asking them will only increase the number of jokes.

Watching the Guangdong staff leave, Chen Kai could not help but breathe a sigh of relief. From the first words he spoke to the Guangdong staff, Chen Kai judged from his accent and clothes that this person was just Tong Yangjia.

Ordinary staff members recruited locally from Guangdong, and who came here on a special trip, are just errand-runners, and cannot possibly know too many core and secret things.

With this judgment in mind, Chen Kai did not hesitate to choose to use his status as a "guarantor" to act unscrupulously, try to anger the other party, and then fight back in the form of a question and answer session. Once the confrontation turned into a "knowledge competition", the rhythm would be

With his hand, the dominance fell to Chen Kai. It was with this hand that Chen Kai finally completed the counterattack against his opponent and frightened Che Renzhong and Huang Menglin.

In terms of issues, Chen Kai has seen people debating on the forum whether the Tong family is considered a traitor or a true barbarian. This issue stems from the Han army flag registration of the Tong Jia family. At that time, someone proposed a similar meaning in Manchu and the genealogy record of the Tong Jia family.

He thought it was interesting at the time, so he wrote it down. As for Mao Wenlong's murder of Tong Yangzhen, he also learned about it on the forum. The dispute between Yuan and Mao was so vigorous in the history pages of major forums that every post was

It could go on to dozens or even hundreds of pages. If he didn’t even know who his opponent was in the first battle of Mao Wenlong’s expedition to Liaodong, Chen Kai would be embarrassed to say how interested he was in that period of history.

In the past few months, Zheng Chenggong has tried his best to collect information, and Chen Kai has been constantly recalling all potentially useful information, and conducted targeted memory training for a month, completely based on the TV knowledge competitions of later generations.

Whichever way you go, the effects will be different.

Now, the identity of Chen Kai's slave "Liu Yizhou" has come to the limelight. As for calling the master's ancestral name, it does seem frivolous and even rude, but since it does not exist

Therefore, the possibility of being punished by Tong Guonai seems frivolous, which is what Che Renzhong and Huang Menglin can despise.

Of course, frivolity is frivolous, but there are some things that you cannot say too much. For example, Nurhaci once served as a son-in-law for the Tong family, and the records of Nurhaci in the Ming Dynasty included the words Tong Nurhachi, which cannot be said. Because of these words

If you say it out loud, it's easy to lose your head.

"I didn't expect Mr. Liu to even understand Manchu. He is really talented."

Huang Menglin complimented without hesitation, but also hinted that it was the right thing to pursue the Guangdong staff and give him a courtesy, so as not to offend both parties. But when this compliment was heard by "Liu Yizhou", he immediately

With a look of pride on his face, he then showed off to the two of them: "Back then, the Manchu nobles had seen a lot of students working in the master's house. I also know the Manchu language. If I have the opportunity, I can explain it to the two superiors."

It’s okay.”
