The heavens: pushing across all realms
Chapter 98 Lu Haodong (please vote for me!)
The people in the south did not have any good impression of the Qing court.
Even compared to the people in the north who are afraid of the government, the people in these places that have been colonized for a long time are more courageous.
Because the invaders broke everyone's understanding that the government is heaven. It turns out that those who are as powerful as officials are nothing in front of foreigners.
Xiao Liuzi, a little coachman, dared to insult the government with his mouth, which shows the extent to which the Qing court had lost its moral integrity.
It's just that what Feng Ji is concerned about at this time is not the Qing court's loss of popular support, but the whereabouts of Wang Wu.
Liu Yongfu left Guangzhou and went to Annan to assist in the defense. Did Wang Wu follow him?
Just as I was thinking about it, there was suddenly a crowd of people ahead, and street vendors moved out of the way.
There was the sound of musical instruments playing in the distance, and the driver Xiao Liuzi also quickly stopped to get out of the way, and said quickly: "Master, get out of the way, it's the White Lotus Sect parading on the street."
Feng Ji raised his eyebrows and looked towards the road not far away where the crowd had given way.
But I saw a group of people wearing white clothes coming towards me, carrying a huge paper statue of an inanimate old mother. There were mage protectors and a band playing all around.
Walking at the front was a girl, holding a white lantern and with an expressionless face, just like a statue of a Buddha in a temple.
A believer nearby sang loudly: "The white lotus comes down to earth, and all the people will turn around!"
The team shouted in unison: "The white lotus comes down to earth, and all the people will stand up!"
"Kill all the foreigners and share peace!"
"Kill all the foreigners and share peace!"
"The White Lotus Sect, subjugate demons!"
"The White Lotus Sect, subjugate demons!"
…
Feng Ji couldn't help but look surprised. The White Lotus Sect in the South was so rampant that it dared to preach on the streets in public!
"Xiao Liuzi, the White Lotus Sect is so arrogant and the government doesn't care?"
Hearing this, Xiao Liuzi whispered: "They want to take care of it, but they can't."
"Annan is fighting the French, and the court wants to send troops."
"Taiwan is occupied by the Japanese, and there will be a war."
"You are making trouble in the Boxing Boxing in the north, and you are also fighting."
"Now that wars are going on everywhere, the imperial court has no troops to control the White Lotus Sect."
"Besides, the members of the White Lotus Sect did not oppose the Qing Dynasty. They only opposed foreign religions and killed foreigners."
"Official gentlemen won't take care of it unless foreigners force them to."
Feng Ji couldn't help but have a deeper understanding of the situation in the south.
"It seems that the Qing Dynasty is indeed approaching its end, and it feels like it has lost control of the south."
Feng Ji was thoughtful and felt more and more that if he wanted to establish his power, he still had to establish a foothold in the south.
Now that the south is no longer under the control of the Qing court, it is a good time to gain territory.
At the same time, he also remembered that at the beginning of Mr. Sun's revolution, it also emerged from the south.
I'm afraid this is also the reason.
Of course, since ancient times, most wars from south to north have been unsuccessful.
Therefore, Feng Ji could develop his power in the south, but he could not leave behind his power in the north.
His thoughts gradually converged as the White Lotus Sect's team left.
Xiao Liuzi took Feng Ji and continued to walk to the address.
Not long after, the street in front of me became clearer, and the surrounding environment seemed much cleaner.
There are also more building facades around.
"This is Nanqiao. It is a relatively famous and good area here. It is a place where rich people stay."
"Master, you look like a rich man."
Feng Ji smiled and said nothing.
After a while, Xiao Liuzi stopped in front of a Western-style building.
Feng Ji glanced at the manor that looked like a foreign garden and said, "Is this here?"
"This is the address on your note."
"This seems to be the Lu family. Is the person you are looking for named Lu?"
Feng Ji nodded slightly and said, "That's it. I'm sorry to trouble you, Xiao Liuzi."
"Hey, it's all within my duties, Master. If you need to use the car again, just go to the pier and find me."
Feng Ji smiled and asked, "How much can you earn by pulling a car for a day?"
"Um, why are you asking this?" Xiao Liuzi was stunned.
"Xiao Liuzi, I'm new to Guangzhou and I'm not familiar with the place. I need someone to help me. I'll drive you as much as you can earn from pulling a truck in a day. How about you follow me while I'm in Guangzhou?"
"Ah? Is this...is this true? I can pull dozens of trains a day with all my strength, and it costs at least fifty or sixty copper coins." Xiao Liuzi was filled with surprise and hurriedly confirmed.
Feng Ji didn't waste any time. He handed out a silver ingot from his sleeve and said, "Look, how long will this silver ingot last?"
Xiao Liuzi was overjoyed. He quickly took the silver ingot and bit it into his mouth. When he saw a row of teeth marks on the silver ingot, he was overjoyed.
After weighing it again, I found that the silver ingot was probably twelve heavy, so I immediately knelt down and kowtowed in excitement.
"Sir, I am willing. I am willing. Don't worry. If you have any dirty work to do next, just tell me. I will definitely work hard!"
Feng Ji smiled, helped the other person up, and said: "Then it's agreed, you will follow me these days."
"Hey, hey."
Xiao Liuzi nodded repeatedly, and he was also smart, so he immediately said: "Master, what should I call you outside? Master? Boss? Sir?"
Feng Ji smiled: "My surname is Feng Mingji. You can just call me Young Master."
"Okay, Master, then I'll call the door for you."
Xiao Liuzi stood up quickly and took the initiative to call the door of Lu's house.
Feng Ji stood aside and waited.
After a while, an old man rushed inside.
The other party did not open the door, but looked through the iron door and said, "Who are you looking for?"
Xiao Liuzi smiled quickly and said: "Old man, our young master is a friend of Mr. Lu and wants to visit Mr. Lu."
"Your young master? Which young master?"
Feng Ji came over, smiled at the old man and said, "My father-in-law, I'm Feng Ji. I'm from Jinmen. Is Mr. Lu Haodong Lu at home?"
"Jinmen... Oh, you are the young master of the Feng family, right? Please come quickly, our young master has already warned me."
The old man opened the iron door to welcome Feng Ji.
Xiao Liuzi quickly pulled the car into the manor.
The yard has tidy lawns and lush green plants. The pavilion is not Chinese style, but European and American style.
Feng Ji was slightly in a trance, and had the illusion of returning to modern times.
This house is out of tune with this era.
The old man smiled and said: "Master Feng? Our young master has gone out to do some business. I'm afraid he won't be able to come back for a while. Can I take you for a walk first?"
Feng Ji came back to his senses and said with a smile: "What do you call me?"
"Master Feng, just call me Lu Dayou. I am the butler of the Lu family."
"Uncle Friend."
"Oh, I don't dare to take it, I don't dare to take it."
"You are the same age as my father, so it is appropriate to call you Uncle Friends. Uncle Friends, I would like to ask Mr. Lu if he has found my sister?"
Uncle Friends heard this and shook his head slightly: "This old man doesn't know."
Feng Ji frowned slightly. Uncle You was the housekeeper of the Lu family. If he didn't know, it meant that his eldest sister was not in the Lu family.
In this case, I am afraid that Lu Haodong has not found the eldest sister.
Feng Ji couldn't help but feel worried. The current situation in Guangzhou was complicated. The White Lotus Sect, foreigners, and gangs were all intertwined. She didn't know if there was any danger.
"It seems we have to go to Duan's house to look for him."
Feng Ji immediately asked: "Uncle Friend, do you know where Dongqian Street is?"
"Dongqian Street? That side has become a Japanese concession. Do you want to go to the concession?"
Feng Ji knew that the Duan family was ruined because of the concession.
He nodded immediately: "Yes, I want to go to the concession."
"I'm afraid that won't be easy. The Japanese Concession is very strictly guarded against outsiders and ordinary people are not allowed to enter."
"Why?"
"Of course it was a huge defeat in the Sino-Japanese War, and there were demonstrations everywhere to resist the Japanese."
Uncle You saw Feng Ji frowning and couldn't help but said: "Well, Master Feng, why don't you stay here first, and when the master comes back in the evening, let the master think of a way to see if we can smoothen the relationship and bring you in."
"Our young master went to study in Nanyang. Maybe there is a way. Please be patient. It has been a hard journey. How about taking a rest first?"
Feng Ji thought for a while, nodded slightly, and agreed to Uncle Friend's suggestion.
At the moment, he is not familiar with Guangzhou, and he doesn't know what is going on with the Duan family or where his eldest sister's family is.
Perhaps Lu Haodong had already investigated a lot of things during this period, and it was not efficient to go out and search randomly by himself.
Now I gathered my mood and moved into the Lu family home.
At the same time, he asked Xiao Liuzi to go back and tidy up, and wait for him at the door tomorrow morning.
Entering the living room, Uncle Friends poured a cup of tea for Feng Ji and said with a smile: "Master Feng came all the way to try this Dahongpao from Fujian."
Feng Ji picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and said with a smile: "The tea is rich in aroma, good tea."
Uncle You was overjoyed and said, "Is this your first time in Guangzhou, Master Feng?"
"Well, it's indeed my first time here."
"Now is not a good time to come to Guangzhou. Recently, the White Lotus Sect, taking advantage of the impact of the defeat of the Sino-Japanese War, has begun to preach. There is a lot of chaos on the streets."
"Feng Mou came here and saw it. Uncle You, do you know General Liu Yongfu?"
"Who doesn't know General Liu? He is a great hero. If he and his Black Flag Army were not guarding us, we would not know how we would have been bullied by the foreigners."
Hearing this, Feng Ji quickly asked: "General Liu has gone to Annan now. Did his Black Flag Army go with him?"
Uncle Friend shook his head: "No, General Liu's Black Flag Army only took away a small group of elites, and most of them were dismissed by the court."
Feng Ji frowned: "Disbanded? Have you ever heard of the Black Flag Army's Sword Team?"
"The Broadsword Team? I've heard of it, but I'm not familiar with it. Who are you looking for?"
"Wang Wu, the captain of the Broadsword Team, and I are old friends. The Black Flag Army has been disbanded. I don't know if he is still in Guangzhou now."
Uncle You couldn't help laughing and said, "You have to go to Baozhilin to ask about this."
Feng Ji was stunned: "Bao Zhilin?"
"Yes, I heard people say that although General Liu's Black Flag Army was demobilized, the elites did not go back. Instead, Master Huang Feihong of Baozhilin took the lead and formed a militia in Foshan, waiting for General Liu at any time. Dispatch."
"Maybe your friend is in Bao Zhilin's militia."
When Feng Ji heard these words, he couldn't help but look strange.
Vigilante group? Once Upon a Time?
Is this the plot of the Once Upon a Time series?
Feng Ji couldn't help asking a few more questions in detail, and finally confirmed that Huang Feihong here was really Huang Feihong in the movie world!
While the two were talking, they heard laughter coming from outside.
"Uncle You, where is Brother Dao Ke?"
"Is Brother Daoke here?"
But at the door, a thin young man wearing a dress and tie walked quickly.
The young man is about thirty, wearing a round hat, a beard, and leather shoes.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Feng Ji.
There was a look of joy on his face, and he hurriedly stretched out his hands and shouted: "Brother Dao Ke?"
When Feng Ji saw this, he also stood up, shook hands with the other party, and said with a smile: "It's Feng."
"I have admired my name for a long time, Brother Dao Ke. Jinsun mentioned the Northern Hero to me several times, saying that among Jinmen, when it comes to martial arts, you are number one. When he said you were coming to Guangzhou, I was excited all night. Please sit down, please sit down."
Lu Haodong was quite polite and enthusiastic.
Feng Ji said, "I don't dare take it" and sat down.
After a few pleasantries, Feng Ji got down to the topic and asked: "Brother Haodong, I wonder if you have any clues about what Brother Jinsun asked you in the telegram?"
When Lu Haodong heard this, he couldn't help but look ashamed and said, "I couldn't handle your sister's matter. I'm really sorry."
Feng Ji frowned: "Brother Haodong, what happened? Where are my eldest sister and the others now?"
