The recliner shook more and more slowly, and finally stopped, Bai Yanding seemed to be asleep, and hurriedly walked into the garden, it was the fat man surnamed Bai who had been sharing a table with Zhou Kunlai and Lord Zuo in Pingran before.

Seeing him like this, this person hurriedly stopped, turned around and wanted to retreat, but heard Bai Yanding say: "What's the matter?" ”

This person said respectfully: "Second uncle, the arrangements are ready, and the family's fleet is parked in Busan." In addition, Madras was pacified, and the eldest young master summoned that he was going to come to Ryukyu for vacation. ”

Bai Yanding hummed and waved his hand to retreat. The man hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't help it, and said again carelessly: "Second uncle, how long will this stop take?" Lord Zuo and Zhou Kun have finished their work over there, just waiting for us to accept people, delaying too long, I'm afraid they will ...... over there."

Bai Yanding scolded irritably: "At this critical juncture related to the future of my Bai family, what business do you care about!?" Not to mention Zuo Weisheng and Zhou Kunlai, if Nian Qianyao dares to shout, I will immediately cut off his sea route! ”

Unceremonious to this nephew who did his own business, Bai Yanding shouted angrily: "I only remember that little favor in my head, the guy who is not angry, get out!" ”

The nephew of the clan hid his face and wanted to retreat, Bai Yanding's mind turned, and then beckoned: "Come back!" ”

"It's your son who is handling this over there in Songjiang Mansion, let him send the people of the triad to keep an eye on the blind man......

When Bai Yanding said this, his tone was extremely weak, as if he had a great heart to make this decision.

The nephew of the clan was stunned and asked, "Keeping an eye on the blind man?" What to do? ”

Bai Yanding said coldly: "Let's see first, and then talk about what we can do." ”

The nephew's brain was very good at this time, and he said in a trembling voice: "If the people of the Praetorian Guard Department find out, this matter will be a big deal, second uncle!" ”

Bai Yanding snorted coldly: "Don't think about it, something is going to happen to the blind man, and I'm even more unlucky!" You take your son to do it yourself, don't show your face, and let the triads stand in front. ”

The nephew also muttered: "Right now, everyone is looking at An Guozhang's family, and I haven't seen the emperor come forward to cover it." Unexpectedly, the Nanjing Law Firm was allowed to issue an official complaint to the Guozhang family, and it was not our turn to take the Bai family to the front. ”

Bai Yanding didn't speak, he glared at the nephew of the clan, and the other party didn't dare to say more. Commanded to leave. When he was gone, Bai Yanding whispered to himself: "I am just a white swallow, can I compare with An Guozhang?" ”

At this time, it was almost late September, and the slave trafficking case between the north and the south had already spread to one country, and public opinion was not cessating. At first, it was only the second-rate Moru newspapers such as Sanzheng who jumped up and down, but now even big newspapers such as "Shilin" and "Yinghua Minbao" have begun to exert their efforts, exposing the miserable situation of the northerners who worked as slaves in the workshops, plantations, and farms. The spearhead is directed at the industry and commerce in the country.

It's just that it's not worth Bai Yanding's anxiety, but the background of this wave of noise is the transaction ledger seized by the border guards, the triad has been exposed, and the government and the press follow the thread of the triad and touch it again, and touch the traces of the navy, and even the labor company he indirectly controls, he Bai Yanding will be in danger.

Over the years, the Beiyang Company has resold countless fresh and Japanese people to the South and the West. The Beiyang Fleet not only acted as a bodyguard, but also shared some odd businesses. Taking this opportunity, Bai Yanding used his authority to recruit his clansmen to set up a labor company. not only bought and sold fresh and Japanese people, but also changed hands to tens of thousands of Shandong and Zhili slaves.

The emperor seems to know, but he doesn't care, after all, this business is indirectly handed, and it does not involve the countrymen, and because Bai Yanding is restrained, he didn't dare to make it too big before, and he didn't dare to directly use naval ships. but only by his name.

Since last year, the number of workers and slaves needed in the local and Nanyang has increased greatly, and Bai Yanding's hands and feet have gradually been released, not only to increase the scale, but also to directly start a business with Nian Qianyao, and Zhou Kunlai is the ladder he used to sew with Nian Qianyao. Previously, his nephew Baek Junxing went to Pyongyang on his behalf. The meeting with Zuo Weisheng and Zhou Kunlai, representatives of Nian Qianyao, was the biggest business since the tripartite cooperation.

…,

Bai Yanding still had a bit of reason in his heart, thinking that after doing this, he would restrain himself, but he didn't expect that people were not as good as heaven, and he was about to be planted in this one.

From the perspective of others, Bai Yanding seems to be a little worried, and selling people in the north as labor slaves is not a crime, but it is just unkind. Just as Bai Junxing just said, the Guozhang An family is also involved in this matter, and the Nanjing Law Department is filing a case for investigation, but the emperor has no intention of covering it, and Rong Law Department is investigating step by step. To plant is also the industry is overseas, control the two companies of Nanyang and Western companies a lot of shares, the business community known as the "king of the two oceans" An Guozhang.

Bai Yanding had other ideas, first of all, the emperor was soft-hearted and protected his shortcomings, and he had been in charge of the country for more than 20 years, whether it was the descendants of Qingtian Baicheng or the old man in military and political affairs, although some things had happened, the emperor had not raised a major case like the founding emperors of previous dynasties, and he had dealt with anyone strictly. The industrial and commercial, officialdom and military circles commented on the emperor and the word "Tairen", which is not a sarcasm, but a description of the emperor's treatment of his subordinates, just like Song Taizu and Song Renzong, which is particularly tolerant.

Based on this, Bai Yanding never believed that the emperor would sit idly by and watch An Guozhang be sent down by the national law, and he would definitely cover it, but he hadn't made a move yet.

Secondly, the emperor was ruthless. When the situation calls for it, the sacrifice must be thrown, and he will not show mercy. In the past 20 years, the reason why the old ministers have not suffered a major mistake is that the pattern of a country is divided, and there is not much chaos. Now that this tide is faintly shaking the pattern, Bai Yanding seems to have seen the shadow of the three major cases in the early years. The emperor is the one who holds the butcher's knife high in the three major cases, and he holds the heart of Shura.

Under this understanding, Bai Yanding believed that the emperor was firmly behind the scenes, looking for a scapegoat to stabilize the pattern and calm people's hearts.

The third point is that he Bai Yanding knows his weight, compared with An Guozhang, he is not worth mentioning, but in the eyes of the Chinese people, he is still a role. If the emperor wants to protect An Guozhang and stabilize the pattern, he needs a scapegoat with a considerable weight. In private and public, he Bai Yanding is the best choice, who has made him too much movement this year.

Zhou Ning is a precedent, Zhou Ning hated the prince, and he was detained in Baicheng for "retreat" and disappeared, not even spitting out a blister, this is because the emperor does not want a country to make a noise on this matter. Now the emperor needs to make a statement on the slave trade in the north and south, and he can also uproot Bai Yanding and even the entire Bai family with great fanfare.

"Something must be done, now it's up to that blind man to make a fuss."

Worried in his heart, Bai Yanding had a strong resentment towards Wang Shishen. At present, there are still two waves of public opinion, one is to crusade against the inhumanity of industry and commerce in the country, and the other is beginning to blame the Manchus. Although it is chaotic, Bai Yanding's opinion is the same as most people, and this is the blind man Wang who is leading this tide. Only he has this fame. He had a falling out with his Taiwanese subordinate surnamed Zhu in Dongyuan before, but it was just a trick to confuse the Eastern Courtyard, the Political Affairs Hall and even the emperor.

was speculating, and the footsteps sounded urgently, but it was Bai Junxing who rushed back in a hurry.

"There's news from the dogs. It is said that the blind man Wang is investigating the case in the Eastern Court, and wants the court, the political hall and the two courts to investigate the slave trafficking case together! ”

Hearing this, Bai Yanding jumped up, clenched his fists and said hatefully: "Blind Wang...... Damn it! ”

Listed as a special investigation case, this matter means that he will be stabbed to the end, and on the facts, he is just using his post for favoritism. Plus unkindness, injustice, some minor sins. But a small crime is the thread, and then I am afraid that I will be planted with the treason of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and he Bai Yanding is the commander of the first army in charge of the Beiyang Fleet.

His heart was boiling and churning, Bai Yanding gritted his teeth and said again: "Wang Blind deserves to die!" ”

He Huo Ran looked directly at Bai Junxing and said, "You go to Tokyo, do one more thing......

Tokyo Dragon Gate, in a beautiful garden hung with "Jiangnan Bank VIP Club", a group of Chinese service staff are full of anger. Talk.

"Blind man deserve to die!"

A member patted his thigh and said: "He hasn't been so ruthless before, so he pushed the newspaper to discuss the crime of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the case of the South Huasi Society." It only stopped at An Guozhang's family, which really paralyzed us. It's good now, showing its fangs, biting like this, not only our Jiangnan industry and commerce will be bitten and disabled, but Lingnan and even Nanyang will be implicated. ”

…,

Another member said: "I think he is demonstrating with the proprietors behind us, asking the proprietors to stop early, allowing him to sweep down the leeches on the ground, and he has gained great fame." ”

Another person sneered: "Who is the leech?" Isn't that us? ”

said that the blind man was opening his fangs and said, "What leeches, scapegoats!" We can't afford to sit still. We have to quickly pull the giant lords of the Shen family, the Liang family and the Peng family, and we can't be kicked out by them! ”

"Stop dreaming! Our industrial trade workers and slaves are all on the surface, they are the scapegoats of their giants, and they have been dealing with us for all these years, and the hands and feet of the accounts have been done innocently, isn't it just to prepare for today's situation? ”

"An Guozhang is being investigated by the law firm as an ordinary case. The law attorney is extremely neat, and by the time we are pulled out, An Guozhang is already innocent! ”

After discussing it, the understanding of these Jiangnan businessmen and women was unified, and Wang Blind and even the emperor had to sacrifice their blood to calm this upsurge. And do they have the power to resist? Not only did the Eastern Courtyard not dare to speak out against this tide of people's hearts, but they might also be happy to see them dedicate themselves to the overall situation.

"Why didn't those assassins kill the blind man before! It's useless! ”

Knowing that the blind man was their mortal enemy, some people even made such angry words. They are all Jiangnan silk and cotton weaving owners, and each family uses a large number of labor slaves, otherwise it is difficult to suppress labor. Upstream of them are the trade giants in the country, who hold most of the pricing power, and usually push the price down the waterline, which is why they want to use labor slaves a lot.

These words were spit out, and everyone was silent for a while, and some people shook their heads and sighed. Before, Wang Blind and his party were extremely active in the Eastern Courtyard, and they were mortal enemies of the Jiangnan weaving industry.

"If he doesn't die, we have to die!"

Someone spoke boldly, and everyone turned pale with shock.

"And the triad will die even more miserably, the people who believe in the triad are looking forward to the death of the blind man Wang hotter than us......"

After all, businessmen are businessmen, always "law-abiding", when the man said this, everyone laughed, each rolled their eyes, and several people looked at each other tacitly, as if they had a plan.

On the side of Weiyang Palace in Tokyo, in a remote courtyard, Yu Hanyi glanced at a group of middle-aged men in front of him. These men had a calm face and deep eyes, staring at Yu Hanyi tightly, as if he was the battlefield commander, waiting for an order to go to the soup.

"You are all people who have realized the way of heaven, and you are the elite of the Heavenly Punishment Society. If you can survive the battlefield and get to the Praetorian Guard, it means that your life and your vocation have fallen here! ”

Yu Hanyi said in a deep voice, these former red-clothed and current Praetorian Guard agents all treated each other solemnly.

"Go and keep an eye on Wang Blind and Zhu Yigui's party! The blind man has to monitor day and night! ”

Yu Hanyi's order surprised the cadres, someone raised his hand and asked to speak, and only after obtaining permission did he say: "Agency, Wang Zhu and others are all thieves in a chaotic country!" Why is it just surveillance, not extermination? ”

Yu Hanyi said coldly: "Since you are a member of the Heavenly Punishment Society, you should take the order. If you have any questions, ask for answers! ”

Then his tone changed slightly: "To monitor them is to put their life and death in your hands, when the time is right...... Own disposal! ”

The operators shouted in a low voice: "Execute on behalf of the heavens." Only to die! ”

Yu Hanyi nodded with satisfaction, and said in his heart that this change, His Majesty let the Janissary Intervene has the intention of doing thunderous things at the right time, just like the Praetorian Guard Department dealt with Zhou Ning back then.

In the East Courtyard, in Zhu Yigui's office, Zhu Yigui is like an ant on a hot pot. Hands spin around in the little room.

What a real underestimation of this blind man......

Zhu Yigui was full of regret, before he used public opinion to spread the news of the country's industry and commerce and even the army wantonly selling and oppressing the northerners, although these news had no evidence, but it was in line with the imagination of the enthusiastic people, in a short period of time, it set off a wave of crusade among the people, and saw that the situation was evolving in the direction he imagined.

…,

I didn't expect it. Wang's response was particularly forceful, and he proposed to set up a special investigation group to deal with the slave trafficking case between the north and the south. This proposal was supported by the majority in both chambers, and the mission could proceed as long as there was a positive response from the courts and the Chamber.

Once the Special Investigation Mission was established. The case of the slave trade in the north and south was brought to justice, and the tide of public opinion set off by his old life became a stepping stone for the special investigation group. Not only that, but when the special investigation group took over the handling of this matter, public opinion will no longer be allowed to speak wantonly, and he, Zhu Yigui, will be thrown out of this pattern.

Zhu Yigui was anxious, turned around countless times, still felt powerless to return to the sky, and said hatefully: "I knew today." He shouldn't have been protected like that in the first place, because this blind man was made by an assassin! ”

was hesitating, the door was suddenly pushed open, Du Junying rushed in, and after carefully closing the door, he glared at him and whispered: "Someone told Wang Blind Man." said that your industry in Taiwan is also engaged in the trade of workers and slaves, and Wang Blind is going to check with his friends in the Fujian East Hospital, I think we should hurry up and make amends to him, don't fight with him! ”

Hearing about Taiwan's industry, Zhu Yigui was like being struck by lightning, and he didn't soften when he held on to the bookcase, and a cold sweat suddenly broke out, damn it! How he had forgotten to clean up some of his sugar plantations.

Over the years, he has rarely returned to his hometown in Taiwan, and those industries are entrusted to his relatives to take care of, and he has no time to rectify them. Although he warned his relatives from time to time for his reputation and future, he didn't have time to sort it out in person after all, and he was reluctant to divide the property. The staff of the East Courtyard only has a salary of a few hundred taels a year, plus a number of subsidies, and people like Wang Blind have a clean breeze on their sleeves and have their own laws. And a person like him, who is good at dancing with long sleeves, has to communicate at least a thousand taels a year.

"Retreat? I...... There is no way back! ”

Du Junying's proposal flashed in his mind, but he waved it away in an instant. That young patrol Cao Shi, in the face of the newspaper, what a good person, who brought tens of millions of enthusiastic countrymen, has already stood on his side. Just waiting for him to take another step forward, at this time to retreat, years of hard work have come to naught, this feeling is worse than death.

It's too late to retreat, Zhu Yigui feels bitter in his mouth, Wang Blind was sold too hard by him, and he has already regarded him as a villain who harbors evil intentions, how can he be allowed to stay in the East Courtyard anymore? If you don't take advantage of this incident to completely knock him down to the mortal world, you will never stop. He Zhu Yigui is not only not rich anymore, but he may also be beaten to the mortal world, maybe he will not even be able to live a mediocre life of raising ducks in Taiwan thirty years ago.

"By the way, it's better to be dead, dead people can't speak......"

Zhu Yigui's eyes were bloodshot, and he suddenly grabbed Du Junying: "Go find the people in the triad and tell them that if the blind man continues to do it, it will be their death time, and they know what to do!" ”

Du Junying's lips turned white, and she shook her head vigorously and said, "This, how can this work?" How can it be? It's ......"

Zhu Yigui shook Du Junying's collar, and his words were like a wolf dog snoring: "Since he is blind and takes this way of death, don't blame someone for breaking his stone!" Besides, it's not like we're doing it......"

Du Junying was frightened by Zhu Yigui's hideous face, so she trembled, like a lamb under the mouth of a wolf. (To be continued.)
