Anti-Qing: I'm actually an honest person

Chapter 109 Let's Have a Banquet
"Then who is he?" Jiu Nan pointed to Yao Qisheng who was lying on the ground and pretended to be dead.

"This is Yao Qisheng, a dog official of the Qing court. He accidentally broke through our plan and found a lot of things that shouldn't be found. Anyway, everyone, please wait a moment and let me deal with it."

After speaking, Liu Dapao sat down and asked Yao Qisheng, "Give me a reason why I don't kill you?"

Yao Qisheng took a look. The princess of the former Ming Dynasty, King Pingxi who was about to rebel, Yuan Chonghuan's son, and his immediate boss turned out to be the chief rudder of the Tiandihui.

It's a bit difficult.

I had to say: "I am the Chaozhou Tongzhi appointed by the imperial court. The new official died at the hands of thieves just after taking office. The imperial court will definitely not believe that you have already made a move to support yourself. Before Yu Chenglong came, I If you die first, the imperial court will definitely be suspicious of you."

"If you want to rebel, you need time to prepare. King Pingxi needs to integrate the troops in Yunnan, and more importantly, he needs to contact the old ministries scattered in various places, as well as Shang Kexi, Geng Jingzhong, Sun Yanling, Wang Fuchen and others. Sir, you need time to build the bastion, the factory , According to my observations, it will take at least half a year for the bastion to be completed, and it will take at least two or three months for the factories to be fully put into operation."

"So, it would be the best for you if I can turn from the dark to the bright and become one of my own, but you don't trust me, so I have to pay the nomination certificate."

"Yeah, Yao Qisheng, you are a smart person, so are you willing to turn your back on the dark and turn to the bright, and what kind of voting certificate are you going to pay?"

"Before that, I have a few questions I want to ask your lord. You are the one who transports the food in this city, right?"

"It's me. This matter has nothing to do with Wang Ping at all. In fact, he is not a member of the Tiandihui. I really didn't know that he had a sympathetic attitude towards the former Ming Guzhong. I can really try to develop him later. .”

"You want to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty. You are all great heroes, great heroes, but have you ever thought about it? How innocent are the Shengmin! How innocent are the Shengmin! The common people have just lived a few years of good life?"

Liu Dapao thought for a while, and said: "I don't care if you are really honest and pleading for the people, or you are pretending to let me let you go, I can tell you clearly that the food transported away is scattered from various southern provinces. What I bought was not food from Fujian and Guangdong provinces."

"As for what you said about Shengmin Hegu, why didn't you think about Shengmin Hegu when the Qing government moved to the sea and killed millions of people? It's only been a few years since the good times? Is it a good day?"

"Forget it, it doesn't matter, just say whether you pay the vote or not. If you must be a loyal martyr of the Qing Dynasty, I will send you on your way. I will find a way to explain it slowly at the court."

Yao Qisheng closed his eyes and sighed when he heard the words: "I pay, Chaozhou Tong sentenced Qianjiang and falsely accused his colleagues, and he himself embezzled hundreds of thousands of shi and grains to feed foreign enemies. .”

Liu Dapao nodded, and said to Yuan Chengzhi: "Island Master Yuan, tonight you might as well find a way to tie two more Eight Banners soldiers to kill him to practice hands."

"it is good"

Then he said to Yao Qisheng: "Afterwards, I will arrange for you to go to Macau to temporarily be an envoy in charge of shipping in Macau. Aren't you very familiar with Luo Dongni? Do something with him without my order." You don’t want to come back, you will come back after my end formally rebelled.”

"clear."

To be able to save a life, to be honest, Yao Qisheng felt a little unbelievable.

Liu Dapao also had no choice. On the one hand, of course, as he said, this is a fifth-rank official officially appointed by the court after all, not a small official. It is not easy to explain why he was killed by himself within a few days of taking office.

Furthermore, regardless of whether this Yao Qisheng is pretending or not, at least on the surface he is pleading for the people. Judging from his resume, this guy has been a magistrate as early as the Shunzhi period, because he punished the local tyrants and offended others. Yes, I took the imperial examination and returned to the officialdom to become a county magistrate, and was banned for doing business with Luo Dongni for violating the ban on sea.

Regardless of whether there is a gratifying meaning behind this, there is a high probability that there is, but at least the people of Xiangshan County must be grateful to him, and Master Qingtian is nothing more than that.

Talent is rare.

It is of course unparalleled in the world to engage in finance, commerce, and invention, but other aspects are far behind, and my current subordinates, the gang of heroes from the Tiandihui, are too low-born after all. If not, Wu Shuntian is regarded as a high-level talent in his hands, and he used it as an aide.

Yao Qisheng is also a person with a long history, and just two days after he took office, he was able to find out that a large amount of grain was being exported in Chaozhou City. Although the direction and the object of suspicion were wrong, it also shows his ability. If you can use it for your own use in the future, of course it would be great.

Of course, the most important thing is that he is no longer particularly afraid of revealing his identity. It is true that he will be more fully prepared if he returns later, but it is not a big deal if he is not fully prepared.

Immediately, Liu Dapao asked Wei Chunhua to change a secret room for them, and continued to discuss major rebellion issues with Wu Sangui.

However, after chatting for a few minutes, Xiao A quietly knocked on the door and came in. She couldn't help frowning and said, "Didn't you say don't disturb us?"

"My lord, there are distinguished guests, and you must receive them personally."

"Why is a distinguished guest so important?"

"Shang Zhixin is in Duke Xushun's mansion right now. He said he came to see his younger sister (his sister is the wife of Duke Xushun's mansion), and he hoped to meet you. He said that there were many misunderstandings between you and the Prince of Pingnan's mansion before. I have prepared some generous gifts for you."

Liu Dapao was taken aback, and he and Wu Sangui looked at each other, and they both saw a trace of joy in each other's eyes.

"You and the master make an arrangement and invite him to meet here, just say that I have another distinguished guest here who also wants to see him."

"Yes."

After a while, Shang Zhixin came, and after seeing Wu Sangui, he was in a daze.

Liu Dapao introduced Jiunan and Yuan Chengzhi to him in turn, and said: "This is a secret room, and it can't go up to the world or the ground, so I won't talk nonsense, my son, please give me a happy word, whether you will or not under the withdrawal order?" .”

"This... opens the door"

Just as he was talking, he saw someone knocking on his door again, it was Wu Shuntian.

"Don't you know that we are discussing important matters? Why bother me?"

"I know, but just now, two distinguished guests came to the stock exchange, I think..."

"Another distinguished guest? Who the hell is here?"

"General Sun Yanling of Guangxi, when he was buying stocks at the stock exchange, he happened to meet Geng Jingzhong who also came to buy stocks. I think... do you want a piece?"

Liu Dapao was at a loss, what day is it today?
After a brief discussion with Monk Wu Sangui and Zhixin, he said, "Go and invite both of them over here, little Aqiao, go and tell Mrs. Wei that the Lichun Courtyard is reserved today and all other irrelevant guests are invited. Get out, open us a private room that is absolutely safe, serve the food, we can set up a fucking banquet, little Ah Qiao will serve you personally, don't let the idlers wait to approach our private room."
