"It's so dangerous!"

After leaving the small teahouse with Wu Chaoyue and others, Hong Renyi realized that his underwear was soaked in sweat. He breathed a sigh of relief and said intimately: "Thank you for your blessing from Heavenly Father. I thought I was going to die just now."

For Hong Renqi, the situation just now was indeed extremely thrilling. As long as Wu Chaoyue's imagination is a little richer, or Yung Wing, who knows that Hong Renqiu's roots, is 100% dead! He will die 100% miserable! With the kinship between Hong Renqiu and Hong Xiuquan, and the urination of the Qing court, it would be absolutely strange that Hong Renqiu would not cut hundreds or thousands of knifes!

By the way, as long as Wu Chaoyue's expression was slightly abnormal, or even with a little doubt in his eyes, Hong Renyu would have to be scared to pee his pants on the spot!

Fortunately, Hong Renyu did not dare to delay on the foreign wharfs where the Qing army was everywhere, and quickly rushed back to the relatively safe concession. What he was thinking was no longer how to abduct the rare talent Yung Wing to Nanjing to offer Hong Xiuquan, but how to leave Shanghai as soon as possible. Of course, it would be best to go to Nanjing. If it really doesn't work, it's okay to escape back to Hong Kong. In short, Shanghai must not be staying here anymore.

The more he was panicked, the more he was. When the boundary stone in the concession was already far away, a man suddenly caught up and grabbed Hong Renyu. Without saying a word, he slapped Hong Renyu in the face and shouted: "Dog, return my purse!"

"Who? Who took your purse?" Hong Renqi was completely stunned.

With a snap, the man slapped Hong Renyu in the face again, "Damn it! I'm still pretending to be in front of me? You hit me just now, and my purse disappeared. Who did you take it? I'm going to give it back! I'm going to give it back!"

During the quarrel, of course, there were passers-by next to me who were watching the fun. Several Qing soldiers also ran over to find out the situation. The man immediately shouted at the Qing soldiers: "Mr. Jun, please make the decision for the young man. This thief hit me just now, and my purse disappeared. I had five silver dollars in my purse, two were Wu Dayang, and three were Yingyang, which was my capital for doing business!"

Five silver balls were certainly not a small number for several low-level Qing soldiers. They felt that there was a bargain to take advantage of them, so the Qing soldiers rushed forward to search Hong Renyu's body. As a result, there were people next to them, pointing to the feet of the owner and saying, "The wallet is under your feet, under your feet."

Everyone looked down and saw that there was indeed a dusty purse under the feet of the owner. The owner quickly picked it up and opened it, and showed five silver circles and said, "Several soldiers, everyone, look, is this the purse I lost? This little thief stole my purse and I found it and threw it away quickly. Please make the decision for me!"

Hong Renyu shouted for justice and sweared that the purse was not stolen by him. The onlookers despised Hong Renyu's thief, but some people advised: "Big brother, forget it if you find the purse, stop making trouble."

"No!" The owner jumped three feet high and said angrily: "I lost eight silver dollars last time but couldn't find it. I was scolded by my wife for more than half a year. This time I caught the thief, and I must send him to see the official!"

After saying that, the owner took out two silver dollars and handed them to the Qing soldiers, saying, "Several soldiers, please help me turn this little thief to meet the official. I will invite you to drink these two silver dollars!"

The money was free and the reputation of doing good deeds. Of course, the Qing soldiers were eager to do it. Without saying a word, they held Hong Renyu down and dragged him into the city. Hong Renyu shouted for justice but was useless. He was dragged to the front gate of the city and handed over to the Shanghai County Magistrate there. Then the yamen runners asked about the situation a little, and directly took Hong Renyu into the city and tied him up and handed him over to the Shanghai County Magistrate who is currently temporarily in charge of the county affairs.

The next thing was very simple. After asking the owner clearly, the county magistrate immediately ordered Hong Renyu to be imprisoned in prison and waited for the defeat. Hong Renyu shouted for justice and said with a stern name to be Wu Chaoyue's guest of honor, but it was useless and was still dragged into the prison and locked in a single room. During this period, because of too noisy and some resistance, Hong Renyu was still beaten by the Shanghai yamen runners.

When Hong Renyu was taken to prison, the owner who lost his purse also returned to Wu Chaoyue's home and whispered to Wu Dasai that the matter had been done. Wu Dasai nodded and gave the owner a few silver dollars. Then he ran to Wu Chaoyue to report the situation. Finally, he asked Wu Chaoyue: "Young Master Sun, what should I do next?"

"Say hello to the Shanghai County Government. Without my order, no one is allowed to let go, and no one is allowed to meet him." Wu Chaoyue ordered: "I will talk about other things after I have thought about them."

Hong Renyi was arrested very smoothly, but how to deal with Hong Renyi made Wu Chaoyue very embarrassed. Exposing Hong Renyi's identity and handing it over to the Qing court can certainly make a small contribution, but doing so may involve Yung Wing. At the same time, compared with most Chinese people in this era, Hong Renyi is also a rare Western scholar. It may not be too a pity to hand it over to the Qing court for chopping it.

Wu Chaoyue's consideration was that he used Hong Renyu to exchange something for the Taiping Army. However, after careful calculation, Wu Chaoyue quickly gave up this idea. First of all, it was easy to leak news. Once the Qing court knew it, the trouble would definitely not be too small; secondly, Hong Renyu's current status in the Taiping Army is not important. If the Taiping Army is asked to exchange Suzhou City for Hong Renyu, even if Hong Xiuquan agrees, Yang Xiuqing, the real helmsman of the Taiping Army, would definitely not agree.

The use of Hong Renqi to Taiping military strategy was quickly denied by Wu Chaoyue, and used it to use it against Zeng Lichang and Chen Shibao. Whether those masters knew Hong Renqian was still a big question, let alone believe Hong Renqian's words immediately; it was very promising to use it to alienate the relationship between Hong Xiuquan and Yang Xiuqing, but doing so obviously did not meet Wu Chaoyue's current interests. So after thinking about it, Wu Chaoyue was so disappointed that he couldn't think of how to cook Hong Renqian, like a useless rib, and it would be too a pity to eat it if he had no meat.

Originally, Wu Chaoyue had another choice, which was to secretly seize Hong Renyu in his hands, and to play this card when he had the opportunity in the future and play it out to play anyway, it would not cost much money to feed Hong Renyu two prison meals a day. But there was no way. After only one night, Yung Wing ran to Wu Chaoyue to report that Hong Renyu was missing, and asked Wu Chaoyue to help find Hong Renyu's whereabouts. He also said that some priests in the concession were also looking for Hong Renyu everywhere, asking about Hong Renyu's whereabouts everywhere, and preparing to report to the county government.

The foreign priest was so scared that the Qing officials could not scare Wu Chaoyue, but if the matter was too big, Hong Renyu's true identity was exposed. Yung Wing, who knew that the information was not reported, was destined to be implicated. Wu Chaoyue, who had held a banquet at his own house, had to be implicated. So after sending Yung Wing away, Wu Chaoyue quickly made up his mind and decided to let Hong Renyu go. However, in order to squeeze Hong Renyu out of the available value to the maximum extent, Wu Chaoyue decided to use some tricks...

…………

Trusted in a cell where sewage was stinking, Hong Renyu was of course worse than death. He was crying and kept shouting and begging, but the prison guards who had been greeted by him ignored it, which made Hong Renyu suffer a lot in prison and fed mosquitoes and fleas for another night.

However, just when Hong Renyu was basically desperate, the vicious prison guard suddenly opened the prison door and lifted Hong Renyu out and took it out of the prison gate. In front of the prison gate, Wu Chaoyue's personal soldier Wu Dasai was there to greet him, saying, "Mr. Shui, forgive me. We just knew your situation and whereabouts, which made you suffer. If you are rude, I hope Mr. Shui will forgive me."

"There is nowhere, there. I have to be saved by Brother Wu. The young man is already very grateful. What else can I say?"

Hong Renyu did not dare to say anything more. Wu Dasai laughed and quickly invited Hong Renyu into the carriage he brought, and then asked the carriage to drive back to the Wu mansion. Hong Renyu was in a small living room on the side yard. Of course, Wu Chaoyue had already sat in the living room and waited in front of him, and there was a table of good wine and food.

Next, of course, they were hypocritical and polite to each other. After walking through the scene, Hong Renyi, who could not eat in prison, immediately rushed to the wine table and chewed heavily on the case. Wu Chaoyue didn't even touch the chopsticks in front of him, and smiled and just admired Hong Renyi's ugly eating habits. Then, extremely suddenly, Wu Chaoyue said loudly, "Hong Renyi!"

After two ping-pong sounds, Hong Renyi's chopsticks fell to the ground. Seeing Wu Chaoyue stunned, her legs were filled with pain. Fortunately, Wu Chaoyue quickly smiled and said, "Mr. Shui, you and Hong Renyi have both been baptized by Father Han Shanwen. Do you know him?"

Hong Ren-yong, who was almost scared to death, breathed a sigh of relief, nodded quickly, and then said quickly: "Knowing is knowing, but I have only met him several times in the church. I am not familiar with him, not at all."

"Oh, so that's it." Wu Chaoyue nodded, picked up the soup spoon, scooped a spoonful of tofu soup and put it in Hong Ren's bowl, and said with a smile: "Come on, Mr. Shui, try the skills of my chef."

Hong Renyi quickly thanked him and scooped Wu Chaoyue for him to eat. He praised him with a bad taste, "Good skills, tastes really good."

"How about it compared to the ladder-side tofu flower in Mr. Shui's hometown?" Wu Chaoyue asked casually.

"The water is a little bit too bad, the tofu flower on the ladder is made of mountain spring water..."

Hong Renyi was only halfway through his words and couldn't continue. He looked at Wu Chaoyue with a white face, his head was completely blank, and he said to himself: "Oh no! I've been trapped!"

The knife and axe driver that Hong Renyan imagined did not appear, and Wu Chaoyue seemed to have not heard the flaw in Hong Renyan's words. He just nodded and said, "No wonder, I have always felt that compared with the authentic ladder-side tofu flowers, the tofu flowers in Shanghai have some taste wrong, but I have never understood where it is wrong. It turns out to be a problem of water quality."

Hong Renyi didn't dare to say anything, and Wu Chaoyue smiled and looked at his horrified expression, urging him: "Mr. Shui, continue to invite me, don't be polite, you must eat enough at my house, eat well."

He looked at Wu Chaoyue tremblingly. Seeing that there was no malice in Wu Chaoyue's smile, Hong Renqi then wiped his sweat and said carefully: "Mr. Wu, the student is anxious to pee, and he wants to go to the cottage."

Wu Chaoyue smiled and said, "Wu Dasai next to him has already come to guide Hong Renyu to the toilet." During this period, Hong Renyu also had the idea of ​​running away, but Wu Dasai and two fully armed Wu Chaoyue's personal soldiers were staring at each other and couldn't find a chance. They thought that even if they ran out of the Wu Mansion, they could not escape from Shanghai. Hong Renyu still gave up the idea of ​​escaping by himself and let the water go to avoid being scared by Wu Chaoyue to pee his crotch. He returned to Wu Chaoyue with the determination to die.

It was okay for Hong Renyi. Wu Chaoyue did not test him or intimidate him again. After he had enough wine and put down his chopsticks, Wu Chaoyue asked with a smile: "Mr. Shui, I heard that you plan to go to Jiangning with some priests to preach. Is there anything wrong?"

Hong Renyi's face turned a little pale again. Fortunately, he was a little used to Wu Chaoyue's sudden attack. Hong Renyi finally did not reveal too many flaws this time, but just shook his head and said, "No, Jiangning is a place where long hair is long. The students are the people of the Qing Dynasty and are irreconcilable with Changhai. Where can we go?"

"Is that true?" Wu Chaoyue smiled and suddenly said: "It is good for everyone to bring me a message to the third brother of your relative's family to live in peace. You can also let the sworn brothers of your third brother of your relative's family know about this sentence."

"Mr. Wu, what do you mean?"

Hong Renyu was confused, but Wu Chaoyue refused to answer, but directly ordered the expulsion of the guests and sent personal soldiers to protect Hong Renyu back to the concession. As a result, on the way back to the concession, Hong Renyu finally woke up a little and said to himself: "The third brother of my relative's family? Isn't it the third one in my relative's family...?"

"Did you see through the little demon know my identity? How could I ask me to bring such a stupid sentence? What medicine is sold in his gourd?"

When Hong Renyu was worried and unable to figure it out, Wu Chaoyue was sneering proudly, knowing that as long as Hong Renyu successfully brought this sentence to Hong Xiuquan and Yang Xiuqing, Hong Xiuquan might not dare to say it, but Yang Xiuqing would definitely understand what he meant immediately. However, with a sneer, Wu Chaoyue jumped up suddenly, slapped his forehead and screamed regretfully, "I'm confused! Why did I forget that he has other uses?"

"Young Master Sun, what is his use?" Wu Dasai next to him asked curiously.

Wu Chaoyue shook his head and refused to answer, because what Wu Chaoyue suddenly thought of was why he had never considered replacing Zhou Xiuying with Hong Ren-ye as an intermediary and conveyed his intention to secretly join forces to Yang Xiuqing? In this way, at least Zhou Xiuying can take countless risks, and he doesn't have to worry that Yang Xiuqing will detain his lover Zhou Xiuying as a hostage to threaten him!

"Maybe there is still time, so I can find a way to contact Xiuying's baby and let her only tell Yang Xiuqing about Zhang Jigeng, and find a way to let Yang Xiuqing know that this was leaked by me, but you must not go to Nanjing in person!"

……………………

Evil will be retribution. Just when Wu Chaoyue regrets his intestines, he has changed his name to Nanjing City in Tianjing. In the Guozong Mansion of Hong Xiuquan's elder brother Hong Renfa, Zhang Jigeng, who is a pseudonym Ye Zhifa, was putting a small medicine bag in front of a doctor named Wu Qingzhi, and whispered: "The matter has been done. My man has recommended you to Yang Xiuqing to treat his eye disease, and Yang Ni has agreed. This is given to me by the Lord, from the West. I heard that it was a poison raised by feeding arsenic toads. It is colorless and tasteless, and even a silver needle and silver bowl cannot be tried. If you have the chance, put it in Yang Ni's medicine bowl."

Wu Qingzhi nodded and took the medicine bag carefully and put it away. Zhang Jigeng refused to worry and reminded him: "Don't worry, after things are done, there will be chaos within Changmao. At that time, you will definitely take the opportunity to attack the city. You will never be in danger. In the future, the court will definitely reward you with great honor, granting officials and honoring descendants."

"Mr. Ye, please rest assured. I will never refuse to eliminate thieves for the country." Wu Qingzhi, who still doesn't know Zhang Jigeng's real name, nodded and showed a bamboo stick in the medicine box, saying: "I have applied poison on it. If I have the chance, I will add medicine. If I don't have the chance, I will take the opportunity to check Yang Ni's eyes and insert this bamboo stick into his eyes, which can also kill him!"

When Zhang Jigeng heard this, he quickly bowed to Wu Qingzhi and continued to brainwash Wu Qingzhi. Unexpectedly, the voice of the servants of the Hong Mansion came from outside the door, saying that Hong Renfa had something to ask Mr. Ye Zhifa to discuss. Zhang Jigeng did not dare to be negligent, so he quickly went out to see Hong Renfa with his servants. As a result, Zhang Jigeng was quite surprised that there was another senior Taiping Army official who he had never met before. Hong Renfa introduced him to him: "Mr. Ye, this is Zhang Peize and Zhang Junshuai from the Eastern Prince's Mansion. He called him to see you. He quickly greeted Zhang Junshuai."

After hearing about Zhang Peize's name and knowing that he is Yang Xiuqing's confidant, Zhang Jigeng dared not be negligent and hurriedly knelt down on both knees to salute Zhang Peize. Zhang Peize asked with a smile: "Are you Mr. Ye Zhifa?"

Zhang Jigeng nodded quickly and said that he was right. Zhang Peize also smiled and nodded, then suddenly shouted, "Take it!"

Before Zhang Jigeng could react, the Taiping soldiers brought by Zhang Peize had already pressed him to the ground, and tied them up with both hands. Zhang Jigeng was so scattered that he shouted for justice. Hong Renfa was also furious and asked Zhang Peize: "Sir Zhang Jun, what do you mean? Mr. Ye is my aide. Why did you arrest him for no reason?"

He sneered and showed Yang Xiuqing's token to Hong Ren. Zhang Peize said: "The Kuomintang forgives his crimes, and the Mo General is on order. Heavenly Father descends to earth to warn him, saying that Ye Zhifa in your shogunate is Zhang Jigeng, whose real name is Bingyuan. Is it a fine work of the Qing demon lurking in our army, or is it beyond the leader of the friendly army of the little demon who was in the Shence Sect. His hands were covered with the blood of our heavenly soldiers. Therefore, the Eastern King Jiu Qiansui ordered Mo General to come and capture him!"

"What?" Hong Ren was stunned, and Zhang Jigeng was even more speechless. He never expected that the Taiping Army would investigate his details so clearly. Zhang Peize did not hesitate and immediately asked the Hong Mansion's subordinates to lead the way and rushed to Zhang Jigeng's residence to search for other evidence.

Then, the Taiping Army soldiers not only found the letters he had secretly communicated with the Qing generals at Zhang Jigeng's residence, but also caught Wu Qingzhi, who was secretly signing poison, and also found a list of some of Zhang Jigeng's accomplices. When the news reached Yang Xiuqing, Yang Xiuqing not only did not feel any joy, but also picked up a letter of rumor I had just received and watched it repeatedly, and was puzzled.

"This female general named Zhou Xiuying, who is thousands of miles away, knows the fine work of Qing Yao hidden in Tianjing? She knows so detailed that she even knows where he is and what his real name is? Also, why didn't she report the source of this important information to me? I just hope to pay my respects to me, and also said that there are more confidential major events to me?"
