On the way back to Chengdu with Qin Guangcheng, Wang Hengyue took advantage of the situation again and again, and then he realized that it was the first year of Xuantong in the Qing Dynasty.
The first year of Xuantong? That was 1909! Wang Hengyue calculated that there were still two years left before the Manchu Qing Dynasty was overthrown!
Two years! Wang Hengyue couldn't help but feel excited when he thought that in two years' time, once the Manchu Qing Dynasty was overthrown, it would usher in the most brilliant and colorful era in Chinese history.
In this period of history, any little person may be on the big stage of history, but what about himself? Wang Hengyue suddenly thought.
What can I do in this era if I come from another era? Can I leave my name in this era?
I was thinking wildly all the way, and everything I said to Qin Guangcheng and myself was absent-minded and perfunctory.
Seeing that they were about to arrive in Chengdu, Qin Guangcheng hesitated for a moment, asked Wang Hengyue to wait for a while, and left in a hurry. After waiting for half an hour, two sedans with red pagoda tops and black tan Luo watches came, and then
A few men with red and black hats wearing plaques stood majestically in front of the sedan.
Qin Guangcheng smiled and said: "Brother is not talented. He donated a fourth-grade candidate, and he looks good when he goes out. My family expects me to come back in the next two days. These people have been waiting at the city gate for two days. Brother.
I called another sedan, please!"
He asked Wang Hengyue to get on the second one, and he got on the first one, and then ordered to go towards Chengdu.
Qin Guangcheng donated a fourth-grade alternate road. No one stopped him from entering the city gate. The red and black hats in front were even more majestic. The shouters at the front let go of their voices and shouted:
"Pedestrians stop and those who speak are silent; take off the white scarf on your head. If you violate the rules, you will be punished by forty measures. You will not be lenient!"
The roaring class has carried "avoidance", "imperial reward of fourth grade" and "imperial flower feathers" on its shoulders. It is very majestic along the way.
There is not a single road in Chengdu, and the whole city is covered with stone pavements. The streets are no more than ten meters wide, and the alleys are only two or three meters narrow. The most popular way to travel is the sedan chair. Those who are walking when they see the sedan approaching, they all give way.
Less than.
This was Wang Hengyue's first experience of riding in a sedan. After walking for a long time, the sedan stopped, the curtain was lifted, and the steward called out: "Please get off the sedan!"
After getting off the sedan, the first thing he saw was a magnificent courtyard. Qin Guangcheng took Wang Hengyue's hand and walked towards the courtyard. Men and women had already stood at the door of the courtyard. When they saw Qin Guangcheng arriving, they all shouted:
"Congratulations on your safe return, master!"
Everyone shouted in unison, which startled the unprepared Wang Hengyue.
"Let's go, brother, we're home!" Qin Guangcheng was beaming with joy. He didn't care about those people and walked straight inside with Wang Hengyue.
The banquet had been prepared long ago. Wang Hengyue was asked to cleanse his hands. The two sat down opposite each other. Qin Guangcheng raised his glass and thanked Wang Hengyue again and again for his life-saving grace. He drank several glasses of wine.
Wang Hengyue said a few humble words and drank a few drinks. He thought to himself that Qin Guangcheng must be a rich man in Chengdu. After entering Chengdu, everything he saw and heard showed that Qin Guangcheng was extraordinary.
After chatting for a while, Qin Guangcheng put down his cup: "Brother, we hit it off as soon as we met, so I call you brother, and please don't take offense. If you don't mind, brother, call me brother, and I will treat you as my own brother!"
"Brother, please!" Wang Hengyue is also a cheerful person and raised his cup and said.
Qin Guangcheng was overjoyed and drank all the wine in the cup: "Brother, since you call me brother, I, as a brother, will naturally think about my brothers at all times. Brother, don't think you talk too much as a brother. I know you revolutionaries are not afraid
Death, but brother is alone now. No matter how ambitious he is when he comes to Sichuan, how can he achieve great things by himself? According to my brother's idea, how about settling down here for the time being and making big plans later?"
In order to scare Lu Baogen away, Wang Hengyue lied to him that he was a revolutionary party. In fact, he had nothing to do with the revolutionary party. He was afraid that the revolutionary party would find out that there was a fake "comrade" in Sichuan and would cause trouble for him. Now that Qin Guangcheng said so
, just in line with Wang Hengyue’s wishes.
Pretending to ponder for a long time, Wang Hengyue said: "What the eldest brother said is exactly what brothers are worried about. We revolutionaries regard overthrowing the Manchu Qing Dynasty as our top priority, but brothers are currently weak. I also think
Hidden for the time being and wait for my comrades from all walks of life to arrive before we start again!"
Qin Guangcheng was overjoyed when he heard this. He patted his chest and said, "My brother has a gold shop in Chengdu and has several properties elsewhere. What are you going to do? But if you open your mouth, your eldest brother will lose everything. You have to repay your life-saving grace!"
"
On the way to Chengdu, Qin Guangcheng told Wang Hengyue everything about himself.
His family has been a businessman for generations, and it has been passed down to Qin Guangcheng's generation. Although they are not extremely wealthy, they still have a rich family fortune and a lot of assets.
Qin Guangcheng is also a person who hates evil. After Lu Baogen, a fierce bandit from near Chengdu, Qin Guangcheng discussed with the government, spent a huge sum of money from his own pocket, and offered a reward for Lu Baogen. Then he formed a relationship with Lu Baogen, a gangster from Jinyan Lake.
Hate.
Wang Hengyue also knew that as long as he asked, Qin Guangcheng would give him whatever money he asked, but this would inevitably make the other party underestimate him.
After thinking for a while, Wang Hengyue said: "Brother, although I am poor, I still know what money should be taken and what money should not be taken. Although I saved my brother's life, I still want to take away even a tiny bit from him. In the future,
Do you still have the face to see people?"
"You are a true righteous man!" Qin Guangcheng slapped the case and praised loudly: "They say that you revolutionaries value justice over wealth. When we meet today, your reputation is well-deserved!" After saying that, he asked tentatively: "What do you mean, brother?"
Wang Hengyue has already made a calculation in his mind: "Brother, maybe you can introduce me to someone who specializes in the business of Western gadgets?"
"A guy who makes Western stuff?" Qin Guangcheng was startled: "I know a few of my brothers in Chengdu. I wonder if my brothers want to..."
Wang Hengyue took out the bag he brought with him: "Brother came back from overseas this time and brought a batch of this...this Swiss gold watch..."
"Swiss gold watch?" Qin Guangcheng was startled again.
Wang Hengyue bit the bullet and said: "It is a gold watch made in Switzerland. There are also many patriotic compatriots in Switzerland who sympathize with our revolutionaries. This time we returned to China to carry out an uprising, and patriotic compatriots donated a batch of gold watches and entrusted brothers to take them back to the country.
, in exchange for funds, and contribute to the overthrow of the Manchu Qing Dynasty!"
When Wang Hengyue said this, he felt really guilty. He was actually talking about the batch of fake watches in his bag.
In this era, it is really difficult to move without half a dime in your pocket. Whether you can survive in this era depends entirely on these fake gold watches!
