Starting from crossing the Fengshen

Chapter 71 Prison Argument
government office.

"Everyone is a loser. No one has been caught yet!"

The prefect was furious and looked ugly.

He has now regarded Yin Qi as the murderer. Since the other party was able to lurk in the government office and kill four foreigners silently, wouldn't he be able to kill him quietly as well?

Only a thousand days to be a thief, and a thousand days to guard against a thief.

Wang Captou and others lowered their heads and said nothing.

At this time, a yamen servant ran over quickly and said, "Sir, there is a Japanese outside. He is said to be Yin Xuan's classmate. Want to visit the Yin family in prison?"

"Japanese!"

The prefect was shocked and his face became serious.

He never expected that a Japanese would come out and interfere.

reject?

He dare not.

After the disastrous defeat in the Sino-Japanese War two years ago, the imperial court was now talking about foreign affairs, including Dongyang.

But if he agrees, wouldn't his idea be in vain?
If the foreigners want to deal with the Yin family, he is completely following the trend.

It can solve crimes and make money at the same time.

As for Yin Chengtao's friends who are serving as officials, he will put all the blame on the foreigners.

Confused for a long time.

The prefect gritted his teeth and said, "Let him go."

Although the benefits were important, he did not dare to offend the Japanese, as he might even lose his reputation in the end.

As long as you can stay young, are you afraid it will be useless?

"Yes, my lord!"

The officer nodded, turned around and left quickly.

As soon as he walked out of the door, a clerk came quickly and walked into the lobby.

The scribe held a stack of manuscripts in his hand and said in a deep voice: "Sir, I have made a major discovery. This Yin Qi is most likely the famous Ximen Yao Chuixue."

"What, Yin Qi is Ximen Kaixue?"

The magistrate's expression changed again and he cried out.

Ximen wants to blow snow, he is a famous person in the world.

One of the driving forces of the vernacular movement, the founder of vernacular poetry, and the object of admiration for countless people.

He is also a Confucian scholar and is very aware of the terrifying influence of such a figure.

If nothing else, as long as the other party scolds him in the newspaper, he will definitely become notorious and be denounced by countless people.

The scribe nodded and said, "Yes. We found manuscripts in Yin Qi's study. Among them are unpublished vernacular poems and unpublished subsequent chapters of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes."

The prefect quickly took the manuscript and looked over it quickly, his expression becoming more and more solemn.

His expression changed, and finally a stern look flashed in his eyes: "Come here, seal the Minbao newspaper office to me, arrest Tao Chengzhang and Zhou Zhangshou and bring them to justice. Also, continue to search for Yin Qi, and no one is allowed to open the city without my order." Door."

Now that you've done it, there's no turning back.

In order to avoid Yin Qi's revenge in the future, he could only use all his strength to beat the opponent to death with a stick.

prison.

When the world is in turmoil, there will naturally be more prisoners.

Today, the government arrested dozens of members of the Yin family. As a result, there were not enough cells at all, so they could only hold seven or eight people in one cell. Among them, four members of Yin Chengtao's family were imprisoned together.

Yin Chengtao and his wife, as well as Yin Xuan and Yin Shishi, are still confused.

Why did the government arrest them?
Although they didn't know the specific reasons, seeing the foreigners around the prefect, they could probably guess some reasons. It was simply that the prefect worshiped foreigners and became accomplices of foreigners.

Thinking of this, Yin Chengtao and Yin Xuan felt desperate. They knew the government's methods very well.

Mother Yin held the handkerchief and wept secretly.

Although Yin Shishi was in shock, she knew that her second brother had escaped and she would definitely find a way to save them.

tread!tread!
There were footsteps approaching in the dark cell.

Yin Chengtao and the others looked up and saw Fujiwara Jiro walking over with a government servant.The moment they saw Fujiwara Jiro, the four people's eyes lit up and they stood up quickly, because Fujiwara Jiro was Japanese and might be able to rescue them.

"Uncle, aunt, brother Yin, little sister Yin!"

Fujiwara Jiro came outside the cell. He said hello and waved, and the yamen officer nodded and bowed and turned to leave.

Yin Xuan hurriedly stepped forward and said excitedly through the fence: "Jiro, you are here."

Fujiwara Jiro nodded and said: "I just got the news, so I hurried here. Brother Yin, are you all okay?"

Yin Xuan said: "We are fine for the time being. Jiro, you are coming from outside, do you know why the government wants to arrest us?"

Upon hearing this, Yin Chengtao and the other three also looked at Fujiwara Jiro.

Fujiwara Jiro said solemnly: "According to the information I got, all the foreign technicians in your steam engine factory were killed. Someone reported that you secretly executed them because they had no use value; they also said that the previous foreigners were killed. The murder was also committed by your Yin family, saying that you hate foreigners extremely."

"What, how is this possible?"

The four were shocked when they heard the words.

Yin Xuan said excitedly: "We in China are really short of technicians. They are working for us, and we are not happy enough. How can we kill them all? Also, although the foreigners living in Fuya have some grievances with us, but We have no enmity or enmity with the church, so how could we just kill them all? This is a frame-up!"

Yin Chengtao looked ugly.

He also thought that it was framed, but who was this person?
In the steam engine factory, there are hundreds of workers.

It is not an easy task to assassinate all the foreign technicians among them.

Fujiwara Jiro sighed: "How could I not know that it was a frame-up, but your government did nothing and even helped the Westerners to do evil? What can be done about this?"

Yin Xuan felt angry, unwilling, and desperate.

He had never hated the government and the Manchu Qing court as much as he did at this moment.

In order to please the foreigners, they killed the gentry wantonly!

Yin Chengtao, his wife and Yin Shishi were all silent.

Fujiwara Jiro looked at everyone, gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Yin, actually there is no way to save you?"

Yin Xuan was shocked: "What can we do?"

Fujiwara Jiro said: "We in Japan have extraterritorial rights in China. As long as you become Japanese, the Manchu government will naturally be unable to do anything to you."

Yin Xuan frowned and asked in confusion: "How to become Japanese?"

Fujiwara Jiro smiled slightly and said: "It's very simple. Aren't you and Yukiko in love with each other? If you can marry into my Fujiwara family, then you will naturally become Japanese in the future."

Yin Xuan hurriedly asked: "What about my parents and my little sister?"

Yin Chengtao stared at Yin Xuan with sharp eyes, like a lion on the verge of going berserk.

Mother Yin held him tightly, shaking her head with tears in her eyes, pleading in her eyes.

She knew that her husband hated the Japanese and would not even agree to Yin Xuan taking a Japanese woman as his concubine, let alone letting Yin Xuan marry him.

but.

This is the way to keep her son alive!
Yin Xuan didn't notice his parents' expressions, but Fujiwara Jiro saw them all.

But he didn't change his expression. He thought for a while and gritted his teeth and said, "I'm sorry, Brother Yin. I can't help your parents. But if Little Sister Yin is willing to marry me, she will naturally be Japanese."

"I disagree!"

Yin Shishi's expression changed and she couldn't help but shouted sharply.

Although she yearns for democracy abroad, she has been influenced by Yin Chengtao since she was a child, and she does not have a good impression of Japan.

Yin Xuan hurriedly persuaded: "Little sister, why don't you agree? I know you are worried about your parents, and it is impossible for me to watch my parents suffer in prison. But only if we get out first can we find a way to rescue them. them."

This is his true thought, not greed for life and fear of death.

What's more, he didn't feel anything was wrong here.

Yin Shishi said seriously: "I don't need him to save me. I believe that the second brother will definitely come to save us."

Yi Get your parents out."

"No, I will not be separated from my parents!"

Yin Shishi still shook her head firmly and said: "And the eldest brother, the second brother is far from what we see. He will not rush to jail recklessly if he wants to save us. Anyway, I believe in him."

Yin Xuan said anxiously: "Why don't you listen to my advice? Don't I still know who your second brother is? What's more, even if he can think of some way, after we go out first, wouldn't it be more difficult for him to save his parents? Are you relaxed?"
