Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

Lin Yuan sneered and said, "According to what you mean, you didn't know about the incident of breaking into the embassy?"

Yuan Shikai said: "Of course, I hope Mr. Lin will tell me that it was that bastard who did such a thing as a pig or a dog?"

Lin Yuan turned around, called Liu Yufeng and asked, "What's the name of the person who came to the embassy today?"

These were actually practiced by Lin Yuan and Liu Yufeng. Of course, Lin Yuan knew that the person who broke into the embassy was called Ma Laohei. Ma Laohei."

Lin Yuan pointed at Yuan Shikai, and said, "You have heard, is there a man named Ma Laohei here, please call him out."

Yuan Shikai hurriedly called the servant beside him and said, "Hurry up." The servant was about to leave, but Yuan Shikai grabbed him and whispered in the servant's ear, "Just say that I subdued Lin Yuan. Yuan has to apologize to him, or Ma Laohei won't be able to hide."

The servant praised in his heart: "Master Yuan is still brilliant!" The servant went in and found Ma Laohei, and told him about the matter. There is face in front of me, have you seen that Lin Yuan will apologize to me once Mr. Yuan makes a move."

Ma Laohei stood in front of Lin Yuan with his chest out and his belly shy. Before he could speak, Yuan Shikai kicked him hard and scolded: "You bastard with no eyes, how dare you break into the Ryukyu people?" The embassy, ​​don’t kneel down and apologize to Mr. Lin.”

Only then did Ma Laohei realize that he had been tricked, but he had no choice but to kneel in front of Lin Yuan, and his brothers also knelt down, and Lin Yuan waited until Ma Laohei knelt down before saying, "You don't have to Make amends to me, go and make amends to the sentinel who was injured by you."

Ma Laohei and the others were so angry that they all cursed in their hearts: "Lin Yuan, if you don't need me to kneel, you should have said it earlier!" Under Lin Yuan's "excessive power", they had no choice but to kneel and climb a few steps to the sentinel. On the side, kowtowed to apologize, and said a lot of good things, Lin Yuan said: "Okay, let's stop this matter here, you are not allowed to break into the embassy again in the future."

Ma Laohei said to Yuan Shikai: "Master Yuan, what about the criminal? Are we not going to arrest him?"

Lin Yuan also heard this, and immediately shouted sharply: "I remembered, you injured the sentry, and you still have to pay the sentry for medical expenses!"

Yuan Shikai obediently agreed, but Ma Laohei said again: "My lord, the criminal..."

Lin Yuan immediately said angrily: "You have to make a written statement, and you are not allowed to enter the embassy again!" In this way, whenever Ma Laohei mentioned the matter of arresting criminals, Lin Yuan would immediately find fault and stagger the words, making Ma Laohei and Ma Laohei Yuan Shikai was miserable.

At this moment, a fast horse approached from a distance, and an eunuch shouted loudly on the horse: "The imperial decree has arrived."

Yuan Shikai thought to himself: "The imperial decree is here, Lin Yuan, just wait, the Holy Majesty will definitely not let that woman named Qiu Guijin go! If you dare to cover up the criminal who committed the crime of demon books and rumors, the Holy Majesty will not let you go!" Yes, how did you humiliate me just now, I will definitely pay back a hundred times and a thousand times in a while!"

Ma Laohei, who was kneeling on the ground, also thought to himself: "The imperial decree has finally come, Lin Yuan, I must get you into my cell. I have a thousand ways to make your life worse than death!"

At this moment, the eunuch said loudly: "By God, the emperor ordered that Ma Laohei and others break into the Ryukyu embassy without permission and cause trouble for the country. I wanted to kill them to warn others, but God has the virtue of good life. I can't bear it. Ma Laohei is hereby sentenced to three years' imprisonment, and the rest to one year's imprisonment, Yuan Shikai has no way to discipline his subordinates, and he will be fined half a year's salary, hereby!"

In the laws of the Ming and Qing dynasties, "imprisonment" was one of the "five punishments". The so-called five punishments meant "exile with a cane stick". "Disciple" means to be sent to work in a certain place, usually in a saltworks or mine;

The punishment of "disciple" is often associated with "stick". The "Great Qing Law" stipulates that all criminals who have been in prison for three years will be given a hundred sticks. So Ma Laohei was dumbfounded when he heard this, and Yuan Shikai was also panicked. Lin Yuan sneered and said: "Okay, the Holy Majesty has made a ruling, you can deal with it. I am busy with military affairs, so I will take my leave first."

As soon as Lin Yuan left, Yuan Shikai asked the eunuch, "Have you not seen my memorial?"

The eunuch wondered: "Your memorial? Have you submitted the memorial? Today there is only one memorial from Lin Aiqing!"

Yuan Shikai was very suspicious, and when the eunuch was sent away, Ma Laohei said, "My lord, did the person who delivered the memorial be kidnapped by Lin Yuan?"

Yuan Shikai woke up like a dream, and hurriedly asked the person who delivered the memorial, and the person said, "No, the memorial was handed in intact."

Yuan Shikai racked his brains and couldn't figure out what was going on, so he had to say: "The Holy Majesty must have seen my memorial, but he ignored it and threw my memorial aside. That's fine, since he doesn't want to pursue it, I will I don't care about it, as for Lin Yuan, I will find a chance to deal with him in the future!"

As for Ma Laohei and his subordinates, Yuan Shikai will use them again in the future, so naturally he is not willing to give them up as "disciples". Fortunately, there is a clause in the Qing Dynasty that criminals can pay money to avoid punishment, so they are asked to pay money disaster free.

Lin Yuan was wondering when he returned to the newspaper office, Shen Wanqing said: "I also think it's wrong, why didn't the emperor say something about creating evil books and rumors? Does the emperor really allow freedom of speech?"

Lin Yuan said: "I'm also wondering, do you know? I even thought about the situation of the confrontation in the palace today, but I didn't expect things to go so smoothly. Didn't the emperor read Yuan Shikai's memorial?"

The two discussed it for a long time, but they didn't come up with a reason. At this moment, they heard a burst of laughter from outside, and then a girl walked in. When Lin Yuan saw it, it was Guan'er. Before Lin Yuan could speak, Guan'er turned to Shen Wanqing and said, "Sister Wanqing, I did a big thing today."

Shen Wanqing asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Guan'er said: "Today the Empress Dowager asked me to go to the emperor's place. When I arrived, I found two unread memorials on his desk. I remembered the spy skills you gave me, so I went up to read and found that there was a It was to speak ill of brother Lin Yuan, so I stretched out my hand and put the memorial in the pile of memorials on the left."

"I heard from the eunuchs that the emperor has a habit of putting the memorials he has read on his left hand side. After reading the memorials, he will definitely not read them again, so he will never read the memorials that speak ill of brother Lin Yuan. I won’t see it anymore, how about it? I did a good job.”

It was only then that Lin Yuan and Shen Wanqing realized that Yuan Shikai's memorial had been tampered with by Guan'er. Lin Yuan nodded and smiled, "Beautiful is beautiful, but it's dangerous for you to do so, don't do it in the future."

Guan'er smiled and said: "It's okay, the emperor won't find out, and no one will remind him, you know? The emperor hates reading memorials the most. If anyone mentions memorials in front of him, the emperor will keep a straight face all day long , if he is not happy, someone will be punished, so no one will touch that bad luck."

The three of them laughed, and Shen Wanqing said again: "I don't think Yuan Shikai will let it go, and the high-level officials of the Qing court will definitely not make any freedom of speech, so Qiu Jin will still be in danger. I don't know what we should do?"
