The Heavens: Cross the World

Chapter 49 The Sino-Japanese War is defeated, and the boxing of righteousness rises (for collection, please follow up!)

Niu Tiezhu was killed on the spot, and all the noisy and arguing voices disappeared instantly!

Feng Ji waved his hand, and the blood on his hand spilled out, splashing all over the faces of several people nearby.

Several people trembled for an instant, and immediately screamed!

"Killed! Killed!"

"Ah—Feng Ji killed someone!"

……

For a while, many people screamed in fright, turned around and ran away.

Feng Ji smiled coldly, stretched out his hand, and directly grabbed several burly men who were following Niu Tiezhu.

"Niu Tiezhu colluded with bandits and robbed my Feng family's property. He deserved his death. Are you accomplices?"

Seeing Feng Ji's terrifying methods, those people knelt down in fright, howling and crying.

"Master, Master Feng, there is a misunderstanding, we don't recognize this fellow."

"Yes, Young Master Feng, we are not bandits, it is him, this Niu Tiezhu, who robbed several boxes of treasures and hid them in Widow Xu's house."

"Young Master Feng, you hold your hand high, we are really not bandit accomplices."

……

Feng Ji glanced at the few people coldly, and said lightly: "Go and take back all the things you just robbed, otherwise Niu Tiezhu will be your fate."

The few people trembled for a moment, not daring to talk nonsense, and kowtowed in agreement.

Feng Ji left one person behind and asked Zhang Jin to take care of it, while he himself entered the courtyard and found the secret passage of the Feng family's secret room among the ruins.

The secret passage in the secret room was locked by the iron door. Feng Ji knocked hard a few times and shouted: "Father, mother, the bandits have dispersed."

Vaguely, it seems to hear a cry of surprise from the secret passage.

……

Three days later, in another courtyard of the Feng family in Qingyuan County.

Feng Changren, Feng Ji, Uncle He, and Uncle Gui were all there.

Feng Changren glanced at the three of them, sighed, handed out the newspaper in his hand, and said, "The Qing Dynasty was defeated. In the Sino-Japanese War, we actually lost to the Japanese."

His face was ugly, Feng Ji didn't read the newspaper, he knew well that the defeat in the Sino-Japanese War was inevitable.

On the contrary, Uncle He and Uncle Gui were full of disbelief, they grabbed the newspaper and read it hastily.

Uncle Gui read: "The entire Beiyang Navy was wiped out, and Deng Shichang, the Zhiyuan ship, died for the country?"

Uncle He said anxiously: "Li Hongzhang went to Japan to sign the Treaty of Shimonoseki? This... compensation of [-] million silver? And ceding Taiwan, Liaodong and other places? How unreasonable! Unreasonable! Qing actually agreed!"

The Treaty of Shimonoseki, which humiliated the country and lost power, has been signed.

In the past three days since the bandit disaster in Qingyuan County, the failure of the Sino-Japanese War has spread throughout the land of China. Everyone is angry and scolds the Qing government for its incompetence.

People with lofty ideals who have returned from studying abroad have organized people to march and protest.

In the border of Shandong, the Great Sword Society and the Bagua Sect have revived. They take advantage of this opportunity to expand their power and cause trouble everywhere.

At the same time, an organization called Yihequan appeared in various places, openly playing the slogan of "anti-Qing and destroying foreigners".

It was only a month since the emergence of Yihequan, and with the momentum of wildfire, the Yihequan movement rose in the whole of Shandong.

Chaos in the north, everyone is in danger!
Feng Changren shook his head and sighed: "This is the end of the matter, it's useless not to believe it, our top priority is to think about how the Feng family should deal with themselves in this chaotic world?"

Both Uncle He and Uncle Gui sighed, and they thought for a while, Uncle Gui couldn't help but said: "Right now, people from Boxing in Boxer are arguing with foreign religions and killing officials, and the commotion is getting louder and louder. I'm afraid we in Qingyuan County will also I can't wait any longer."

Uncle He also nodded and said: "Qingyuan County may not have a place to settle down. If the young master had not suppressed the banditry before and gained such a big name, I am afraid that our Qingyuan County, like other gentry in other places, will be defeated by the Yihe Fist Forced to open warehouses to release grain."

Speaking of this, Feng Changren looked at Feng Ji, who had kept his eyes closed, and asked, "Son, what do you think?"

Feng Ji opened his eyes and said, "Shandong is already in chaos. In my opinion, it's safest to leave here."

Feng Changren smiled immediately, this idea coincided with his.

He immediately asked, "Where do you think it is suitable to go?"

Feng Ji was silent. To be honest, in the late Qing Dynasty, nowhere was safe.

Uncle He on the side suggested: "If you want me to say, both Zhili and the capital are fine. The closer you are to the imperial city, the less disturbance there will be."

Feng Changren couldn't help nodding his head in agreement, and said with a smile, "That's right. Now that Shandong is in chaos, we have a huge amount of money, which is really conspicuous. The Zhang family has now taken refuge with the Japanese, and the Duan family and the Liu family are planning to leave here."

Uncle He couldn't help sighing: "Unexpectedly, Zhang's family defected to the Japanese. It's really unbelievable... At such a moment, it is really not a wise move."

Right now is the time when everyone hates the Japanese the most, so it is naturally surprising that the Zhang family actually defected to the Japanese.

Said, Uncle He also took a look at Feng Ji, after all, Zhang Shurong is also a member of the Zhang family.

Feng Ji didn't speak. He also learned about Zhang's situation in the past few days.

After he left the Zhang family that day, the bandits were also frightened and dispersed.

But there are still a small number of bandits who came back and robbed the Zhang family.

It just so happened that Jiro Watanabe's subordinates came and rescued Zhang's family with a Japanese team.

Zhang Youde died in this disaster, and Zhang Yuan became the head of the Zhang family.

It is said that he was given asylum by the Japanese Leshantang.

Although Shandong is in dire straits, only the Zhang family stays out of it.

Uncle Gui changed the subject and said, "Master, where are the Duan family and Liu family going to move?"

Feng Changren took a sip of tea and said, "The Duan family has a lot of business in Guangdong, and they plan to move their family to Guangdong."

"As for the Liu family, they have some connections in the capital and are planning to move to the capital."

Feng Ji frowned, and asked, "Elder sister also wants to go to Guangdong with Duan's family?"

Feng Changren sighed: "The water thrown out by the married daughter, she is now a member of the Duan family, so naturally she follows the Duan family."

Feng Ji nodded and said nothing more.

Uncle Gui said, "Master, where shall we move?"

Feng Changren thought for a while, and said, "Let's go to Jinmen. Our medicinal materials business is all in Jinmen, and it's also close to the capital. It's relatively safe."

Uncle Gui couldn't help nodding when he heard the words: "That's right, our store has business dealings with several regular customers in Jinmen, so it's not like starting over from scratch."

Uncle He also nodded and said, "I also know a lot of people over there. Mr. Nong from Huaiqing Pharmacy also has an old relationship with me, and Wang Daxia from Yuanshun Escort Bureau is also familiar with me."

The three of them started discussing now, but Feng Ji didn't want to waste time here.

He stood up and said, "Father, Uncle He, Uncle Gui, you can decide these matters, I'll go first."

Feng Changren couldn't help asking: "Where are you going?"

Feng Ji didn't turn his head back: "Practice boxing."

Several people were speechless.

After Feng Ji left, Uncle He couldn't help laughing and said, "The young master has changed a lot since he practiced martial arts."

Uncle Gui also laughed and said: "I never thought that the young master has such talent in boxing. The last time the Bailian sect caused chaos, if the young master hadn't tried his best to turn the tide, Qingyuan County would have been over by now."

Speaking of this, Feng Changren also had a smile on his face, quite proud.

"This kid, if I knew he had this talent, I would have invited a famous teacher. You said that you will go to Jinmen in the future, do you want Ji'er to go to the capital to take a martial arts champion?"

"Haha, if the young master takes the martial arts exam, wouldn't it be easy to catch?"

"The villain congratulates the master in advance."

"Hahaha, you two old guys..."
