Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 51 Wiring

It was the time to pick up customers, and there was a lot of people in the teahouse. The new and old customers began to go to their reserved places one after another. The good location and elegant environment conditions, it can be seen that the boss has put some thought into it. Gusu bonsai from the south of the Yangtze River are randomly placed in the spacious lobby, adding a bit of greenery to the lobby. There are already many guests sitting by the window leisurely and contentedly. Dr. Tea greets the guests to take their seats. It is no wonder that the business is booming after only half a year since it was opened, not only attracting merchants and scholars to come to discuss business, but even many officials and gentry choose this place to drink tea and kill time.

The guests who were seated one after another sat together in groups of three or five, and the latest daily news reports were naturally what they were most concerned about. People's safety was also threatened. If the Taiping army broke through the eastern defense line, the imperial capital would become an isolated city. Not only the family property might be wiped out, but even the safety of life would not be guaranteed.

"Brother Chen, come, come, please sit down, buddy, come and make a pot of Dongting Pekoe for Boss Chen!" Two men in brocade clothes who could barely squeeze a smile on their faces saw a man in a Chinese suit coming from the opposite side. Young gentleman, stand up quickly and say hello.

The gentleman in fine clothes seemed to be in a bad mood. He glanced around and saw that the positions of the two candidates were not bad. Both sides faced the windows, and an exquisite yellow bamboo screen separated the two sides. Two pots of fresh emerald green The bonsai's twigs are really vigorous, and the environment is not bad, so I hesitated and walked over.

Although they were extremely anxious, the two of them still didn't dare to neglect. Judging from their similar appearance, they should be two brothers, the one on the left is a little older, and the one on the right is a little younger.

"Brother Chen, please sit down. We brothers have been waiting for you for a long time." Seeing his brother impatiently, he wanted to say something. Dui laughed and said, "Brother Chen was able to take time out of his busy schedule to see each other, we brothers are really grateful."

The gloomy gentleman in fine clothes seemed to be moved by the other party's compliments, and nodded in a reserved manner, looking at the clear green teacup handed over by Dr. Tea, and sighed quietly: "I don't know what kind of tea this is. How long can Dongting Baikoe be enjoyed? Maybe it won’t be long before this tea will be out of stock.”

"Oh, Brother Chen, what do you mean...?"

"You don't know yet, do you? The day before yesterday, the city of Jiujiang Prefecture was captured by the Taiping Army, and the entire Jiujiang Prefecture probably fell into the hands of the Taiping Sect. Wen Ning and Baling had already fallen into the hands of the Machi Khans. The big houses of tea and food production have fallen one by one, and it will be even more difficult to enjoy such high-quality products in the future." Glancing at the other brothers, the well-dressed gentry said calmly.

"Ah? The city of Jiujiang has fallen? Where did Brother Chen get the news? Didn't it mean that the imperial army will resist to the end? Why did it fall in just a few days?" The purpose was over, and the younger man couldn't help but screamed, his face full of anxiety, "It's over, it's over, it seems that this time the family is really over."

The older man was calmer, but the panic in his eyes was still visible, "Brother Chen, I wonder if the news is reliable? Our two brothers' property is all over there."

"My information is absolutely reliable. I'm afraid I may not even be as quick and well-informed as I am about the Ministry of War." Somewhat flamboyantly pouted, the gentry in Chinese clothes said proudly: "If I don't even know this bit of information, how dare I know it?" Take over the entrustment of your two brothers?"

It was only then that the two brothers remembered the purpose of inviting this person out, and they exchanged glances as if suddenly enlightened, and their joy was beyond words, "Brother Chen, it's because of my lack of courtesy, I hope you will forgive me. "

He waved his hand generously, and the gentry in Chinese clothes showed great generosity, and said calmly: "It's the first time we're dealing with each other, so I can understand, and I can also understand how your brothers feel."

"Brother Chen, according to what you say, the Wuhu area is over. There are Maqihan people in the south and Taiping army in the north. Isn't the empire just..." Speaking of this, the younger man Finally, he reacted quickly, looked around, frowned and didn't dare to say any more.

"Hey, you two, it's enough to understand some things in your heart. Maybe things are not as bad as you two imagined. I heard that the Machihans were also resisted by the local gentry in the south, and the imperial navy fleet was not as bad as you imagined. It’s not lost, it seems that they are also resisting and attacking the Maqihan people, and the life of the Maqihan people is not easy.” The gentry in Chinese clothes shook his head with a sly smile.

Fleet Fang Fang, an older man in brocade uniform, didn't mention the north face at all. He seemed to have realized something. When he introduced this person to his friend, he had quietly told himself that this person had a long history, and he seemed to have some connections with the senior leaders of the Taiping Sect. Unusual relationship, I didn't dare to contaminate these people of unknown origin, but at that time Jiujiang Mansion was about to fall, and my entire family's property was in Jiujiang, if I gave up like this for nothing, the family would be over, so I bit Gritting my teeth and letting my friends arrange it.

"Brother Chen, we brothers can't control so many things in the south of Wuhu Lake. It's just that our brothers' fields, mansions, businesses and many stocks are in Jiujiang. The Taiping Army has already occupied Jiujiang Mansion. We know that Brother Chen's hands and eyes are open to the sky, I don't know if Brother Chen can help you think of a way, if you can save it, we brothers will definitely thank you." The older man finally put forward his own request. I'm sorry, if the Taiping army confiscated it for auction or distributed it to those lowly mud legs, my family would really be over.

Glancing around vigilantly, the well-dressed gentleman kept silent, but signaled to the other party to find another hidden place to talk again. The older man felt ecstatic, and quickly summoned the shop assistants to ask the other party to arrange a private room for him and his party , so that the three of them can discuss.

The young man is sitting leisurely by the lake fishing, the breeze is blowing, the willow branches are swaying gently, and the ripples are bursting, but the young man is motionless, like an old monk sitting withered, with a touch of Zen.

A figure hurriedly came along the lake. Seeing that the leisurely atmosphere could no longer continue, the young man casually retracted the fishing rod, and did not raise his head until the figure came in front of him.

After muttering to his ears for a while, the young man frowned slightly, and asked again: "Has it been implemented yet?"

"Master, it has been confirmed. That guy has quite a lot of business in Beijing, and he has a close relationship with His Royal Highness, but according to the current situation, this guy should be a **** laid by the Taiping Sect a long time ago, but this guy Now that you are working so hard for the Taiping Sect, aren't you afraid of being noticed?" The person who reported to the young man was a man with an ordinary appearance, and his face, which was hard to leave any impression after seeing it, was too much. It's mediocre, nothing special can be seen, and even the eyes are dull, with a listless look.

"It's worth noting that, although the Taiping Sect over there in Jiujiang urgently needs to win over some gentry and businessmen, it's a bit too impatient to win over directly like this?" The young man was also a little puzzled, and his subordinates had just reported Well, the two brothers originally came from a well-known family of gentry in Jiujiang Prefecture. Apart from having a lot of property in their family, they also run a sizeable rice shop in Jiujiang Prefecture. font size.

"Well, this subordinate also sees it that way, but it doesn't look like there is any other way to look at it. Could it be that we are a little suspicious?" The man who reported obviously felt that there must be some special reason for this ~IndoMTL.com~ But still can't find a suitable explanation.

"Don't think too much, just keep a close eye on that guy first, and see if you can catch any big fish from him, especially those who have contacts with him, you should keep an eye on them carefully, to see if you can dig up some more clues Come out and expand our sources of information. As for the two brothers of the Tao family, it doesn’t matter, let them go, I have my own arrangements.” The young man pondered for a while, continued his activities, and threw the hook out again. It is a good thing that the people assigned in the capital finally started to move. If these guys have not been moving, it is still difficult to figure out the law of their actions. As long as they take action, I am not afraid of how many earth-shattering things they can do , I just need to grasp the rules of action of these guys and see what they can do. It's just that this guy in front of him is jumping up and down to replace Cheng Dayou in Jiujiang. Is it Cheng Dayou's own idea, or is it really necessary for the Taiping Army to establish a stable base in Jiujiang? This is not completely clear, and I still need to observe further. In addition, I also need to report this situation to the lord, and ask him to cooperate to understand and grasp it.

The man who reported immediately understood what the master meant. He didn't want to scare the snake, but wanted to use this guy to find out the more systematic context of the Taiping Sect in Beijing, put a long line, and catch big fish. As for the two brothers of the Tao family, they can exchange I was secretly delighted to give it to colleagues from other places to perform it. I have more opportunities to display it, but I must seize this opportunity well.

"Understood, my subordinates will make arrangements immediately." Without any extra words, the man bowed and retreated, and soon disappeared from the young man's sight. The young man's eyes moved and he nodded secretly. Yes, every move is already a bit of everyone's demeanor.
