"Okay! I'm going home to eat buns!"

Wu Nianyue, who had not been able to go home for several days, shouted loudly, holding the old comprador Wu's neck shaking, constantly urging the comprador Wu to change his clothes as soon as possible. The old comprador Wu laughed and scolded his great-grandson for not understanding the rules, while instructing Zhou Xiuying: "Xiuying, you have prepared too, go into the city with grandpa. After entering the city, you take Nianyue home first. I will go home after finishing the business and go home to see you."

Zhou Xiuying agreed obediently, and then she talked about her second purpose, saying, "Grandpa, aunt and the others asked me to ask you, when will we go back to the city to live? Although it is good to live in the concession, you are so old that they can't serve you by your side, so they are a little worried."

"When Chaoyue has news, we will go back and live." Old comprador Wu replied casually.

"Wait until Chaoyue has news?" Zhou Xiuying was stunned and asked hurriedly: "Grandpa, what do you mean? When will we go home, why should we wait for Chaoyue to have news?"

The comprador Wu did not want to answer in detail, but happened that Wu Nianyue had many small things, and suddenly said that he was going to the toilet was still a big deal. The comprador Wu had no choice but to ask someone to take his treasure great-grandson to the toilet, while whispering to Zhou Xiuying: "Chaoyue's letter said that something big might happen in the court, and asked me to transfer you to the concession, and let me temporarily live outside the city. When the news from the court confirmed, there was no danger, and then I could live back."

"What will happen in the court that surpasses the clear demons?"

Zhou Xiuying's beautiful eyes were full of doubts. She subconsciously remembered the secret that Wu Chaoyue once revealed to her, and also subconsciously asked: "Grandpa, did Chaoyue say that something big is going to happen in the court?"

"Chaoyue didn't say it in the letter to me." Old comprador Wu shook his head and then whispered: "But Chaoyueqian ordered Wan to tell us that we must be careful these days, and must not take risks, and wait for his follow-up news at any time."

Hearing this, Zhou Xiuying was of course even more confused. But the comprador of Wu asked his personal soldiers to change his clothes. Zhou Xiuying had no choice but to temporarily retreat outside the room to avoid it. She was full of doubts and said to herself: "Why is Chaoyue so nervous? Is he going to take action? Otherwise, he wouldn't have to care so much about the situation in Shanghai?"

When he was uneasy, the comprador Wu had already changed his clothes and went out to the door. Seeing that Wu Nianyue had not come out of the toilet, the comprador Wu said to Zhou Xiuying: "Xiuying, go and urge your son. It's getting late. If you don't enter the city, it will be dark. Xue Futai and the gentry of the Shanghai Association Defense Bureau are still waiting for me in the city."

"good……."

Zhou Xiuying, who was worried, opened her mouth and was about to answer, but when the words came to her mouth, Zhou Xiuying suddenly woke up and looked up at the sky. Seeing that the sun was indeed drooping westward, it was about to enter dusk in a blink of an eye. Then, Zhou Xiuying, who is very experienced in these aspects, quickly said: "Grandpa, have you reconsider the matter of entering the city today?"

"Why?" asked the old comprador Wu in confusion.

"It's almost dark." Zhou Xiuying pointed to the sunset west and whispered: "Grandpa, you must spend the night in the city when you enter the city. The troops left behind all live outside the city. If something unexpected happens suddenly, who can save you?"

"Siyoung, what do you say, a kid...?"

The comprador Wu wanted to complain that Zhou Xiuying was unlucky, but before he finished speaking, the comprador Wu suddenly remembered the lesson of Xiaodao's uprising. That time, the comprador Wu did not pay attention to Wu Chaoyue's warning, and gave Xiaodao's chance to succeed in the uprising.

"Grandpa, my granddaughter-in-law didn't ask you just now, why did you want to enter the city at this time?" Zhou Xiuying asked.

"Xue Futai said he would discuss the military pay levy next month, and hold a banquet in the governor's yamen to entertain the representatives of the Shanghai Association Defense Bureau, and invite me to attend." Wu Lao Comprador replied truthfully.

"When did the person come?" Zhou Xiuying asked again quickly.

"Just just now, only half an hour ago." Old comprador Wu replied again.

"Grandpa, isn't this time a coincidence?" Zhou Xiuying said in confusion: "Chaoyue repeatedly reminds you not to take risks and asks you to live outside the city temporarily. However, Xue Futai invited you into the city when it was almost dark. The city gate will be closed shortly after you enter the city. Then if something happens again, how do you leave the city?"

The old comprador Wu, who knew he had learned the lesson, began to look serious. After a little calculation, the old comprador Wu decisively gave up his plan to enter the city and sent someone to report to Xue Huan, saying that he still had urgent official duties to deal with, and entrusted his assistant to the Shanghai Council Defense Bureau Yang Fang to participate in the meeting on his behalf. Zhou Xiuying suggested that the old comprador Wu send someone to tell Zhou Tenghu about this, so that Zhou Tenghu would also know about it.

After listening to the advice of his grandson's wife, the comprador Wu first sent someone to inform Zhou Tenghu of the news, and then coaxed Wu Nianyue with Zhou Xiuying, waiting patiently for Xue Huan and Zhou Tenghu's reaction. As a result, there was no movement on Xue Huan for the time being. However, when it was getting dark, Zhou Tenghu's right-hand assistant Jin Anqing hurried to the Jiang Customs Taxation Office in casual clothes, and entered the yard from the back door. When they met, they said to the comprador Wu: "Mr. Wu, Lord Zhou sent an official to pick you up to the military camp. You can't stay here anymore, I'm afraid there will be danger."

"Why?"

The comprador Wu was shocked, but Jin Anqing shook his head and refused to answer, just urging the comprador Wu to quickly change into plainclothes and go to the Wu army camp with him. Zhou Xiuying also knew that the situation must be bad, and also urged the comprador Wu to quickly follow Zhou Tenghu's request to make the matter happen. The comprador Wu finally understood that the situation was wrong, so he quickly changed into plainclothes collar and left with a few reliable personal soldiers. Zhou Xiuying also hurriedly changed into men's clothes and brought Xiao Nianyue with him.

When leaving the Jiang Customs Taxation Office, Jin Anqing not only asked the comprador Wu and others to go through the back door, but also kept the servants and personal soldiers who were staying in the taxation office strictly confidential and did not make any statement. If someone really forced him to come in and ask, he would say that the comprador Wu sent Xiao Nianyue back to the concession.

It was after walking out of the back door that the old comprador Wu discovered how serious the situation was - Jin Anqing actually brought a team of Wu soldiers disguised as ordinary people to pick him up, and asked him and Zhou Xiuying to get into an ordinary civil carriage, and tried to stay away from the county town to the camp in the south of the city. Fortunately, there was nothing to say along the way, the old comprador Wu and Zhou Xiuying and his son were in danger and entered the safest Wu army camp at present, and also met Zhao Liewen's brother-in-law Zhou Tenghu, Deng Siyuan and others.

Seeing that the comprador and others came back successfully, Zhou Tenghu breathed a sigh of relief, and then said with gratitude: "Mr. Wu, thanks to your alertness, you didn't go into the city. Do you know that Xue Futai and the others not only wanted to invite you into the city, but also wanted to invite me into the city. If we were fooled, things would be difficult to deal with tonight."

"Taofu, what happened?" Wu's comprador asked quickly.

"I don't know yet." Zhou Tenghu replied in a deep voice: "But I can be sure that Xue Futai and Ji Fantai lure us into the city today, which is definitely not aimless! If what I expected, as long as Xue Futai and others mistakenly think that you are still in the Jiang Customs Taxation Office, they will definitely have actions tonight, and we will understand everything by then."

"Taofu, why do Xue Futai and the others target us like this?" Wu's comprador asked again quickly.

Zhou Tenghu hesitated for a moment before saying, "Mr. Wu forgives the crime. Because of Weiting's request, I have kept hiding something. In fact, on the second day of March, Weiting had already arrested the Hunan Governor Chong'en in Dongting Lake."

The comprador Wu and Zhou Xiuying opened their mouths at the same time. When asked the reason, Zhou Tenghu then said: "The political enemy of Suzhongtang in the court secretly issued an edict for the two empress dowagers, asking Chongen to try to lure and arrest Weiting. Fortunately, Weiting discovered it first and designed to arrest Chongen. Weiting was worried that this was a sign of a coup in the court. If Suzhongtang wins the coup, then of course everything is easy to say, but if Suzhongtang loses this coup, then Weiting has no choice but to turn against the court."

With a plop, before Zhou Tenghu finished speaking, the comprador Wu had already sat on the ground. Zhou Tenghu had known that the comprador Wu would be the reaction, and could only help the comprador Wu with Jin Anqing, and said with a wry smile: "Mr. Wu, this is why Weiting must hide it from you. He knows that it will be difficult for you to accept that he will be ready to fight the court. But there is no way, he was forced to do it too."

"This..., so, surpassing it is preparation..., preparing..., rebellion?"

The comprador Wu finally said a complete sentence, and Zhou Tenghu smiled and said, "No, if I expected it, if Weiting really decides to break up with the court, 99% of them will clear the monarch and attack the treacherous and slandered in the court."

"But the rebellion is also a rebellion?" Wu, who had read a few books, said tremblingly.

"Master Wu, what are you afraid of?" Zhou Tenghu smiled mysteriously and relaxedly, and whispered: "Master Wu, haven't you discovered that as long as Weiting raises the army, the Qing Dynasty will be determined? Although Changmao is powerful at present, they do not know how to govern and do not win the hearts of the people. Your grandson has both the hearts of the people and the territory of the army. If he is determined to compete for the throne, you, Mr. Wu, may not have the blessing of becoming the emperor."

"I don't have that blessing!" Old comprador Wu jumped three feet high and roared angrily: "My ancestral tomb doesn't have that Feng Shui!"

"Mr. Wu, you are very wrong with this sentence. Your family has this Feng Shui, and your ancestral tomb in Xiangshan happens to be on the dragon vein!"

Zhou Tenghu's close friend Jin Anqing suddenly took over the conversation and said with a smile: "Last time Taofu asked me to go to Hong Kong for business, I asked me to secretly visit your hometown and explore your Feng Shui. It is certain that your hometown is indeed located above the dragon vein!"

When the comprador Wu was speechless, Jin Anqing also took out the Feng Shui map of the world and the Feng Shui map of the ancestral tomb of the old Wu family, and explained to the comprador Wu: "Please look, Mr. Wu, the dragon vein in the world begins in Kunlun. After the dragon vein comes east out of the Central Plains, it is divided into four directions. Among them, the lower Yuanlong follows the Yunnan-Guizhou Sutra to Guangxi and Guangdong. Wherever the dragon head reaches, it is where your hometown Xiangshan is located!"

"Mr. Wu, please look at your ancestral tomb. Your ancestral tomb is backed by Litoujian Mountain, facing Lingdingyang, backed by mountains and water, and there are two mountains on the left and right, just like the image of two dragons playing with pearls!"

"The emperor's field song ballads, the dragon is on the high mountain, hidden in the deep pit, there is a eyebrows in the center, the teeth and knife are in front, and there is a jewel box behind it. There is a staircase above and a support below, and a ox horn separates the two sides, covering Zhong Gao's attending his mother, covering the pot and serving his father. Zuo Fu You Bi, Zi Wei Xiang Huan!"

After reciting, Jin Anqing paused and then asked again: "Mr. Wu, all your ancestral tombs are fulfilled! Can you still say that you don't have this blessing? Your ancestral tomb does not have this Feng Shui?"

The comprador Wu, who didn't understand any Feng Shui, was fooled by Jin Anqing. He opened his mouth for a while before trembling and asked Jin Anqing: "Meisheng, you really didn't lie to me?"

"Master Wu, students dare not lie to you." Jin Anqing and Zheng pointed their heads and whispered: "If Master Wu doesn't believe it, you can ask any Feng Shui master to see your ancestral tomb. If your ancestral tomb is not on the dragon vein, and is not the shape of two dragons playing with pearls, students are willing to apologize for death!"

"Mr. Wu, we are determined to conquer the world for your grandson because of this." Zhou Tenghu also said solemnly: "In fact, Huifu has long known that your ancestral tomb is good and he is a noble person, but he has never told Weiting and you."

In fact, Zhou Tenghu and Jin Anqing were not fooling the comprador of Wu. Because they were proficient in feudal Feng Shui theory, they found through research and observation that Xiangshan was indeed a treasure land, and there was indeed a dragon vein - so Xiangshan later changed its name.

The reaction of the old comprador Wu was not beyond the expectations of Zhou Tenghu and Jin Anqing. After a long time of shock, the old comprador Wu said tremblingly, "Tafu, Meisheng, don't talk nonsense about my ancestral tomb outside. If someone knows that it intentionally ruins my family's Feng Shui, it will be a big trouble."

At the same time, Zhou Xiuying was of course thinking, and couldn't help but look at her son in her arms.

…………

It was the second update of the night. With almost no warning, Wu Quanmei, the Qing navy stationed at Wusongkou, suddenly arrived at the city of Shanghai. As soon as the Qing soldiers landed on the ship, they immediately divided their troops into two groups, one by one, one by one, and went to the city to help defend the city. They rushed to the tax collection office outside the city, and rushed directly into the tax collection office with the handwritten order of the Jiangsu Governor Xue Huan, and rushed directly into the tax collection office to arrest the comprador Wu. After learning that the comprador Wu had gone to the concession, the Qing navy even broke into the concession to arrest people!

The news was brought back to the camp by the spies of Wu army. The comprador Wu collapsed on the ground on the spot. After a long time, he couldn't say a word. Zhou Tenghu decisively gave up his plan to send troops to fight immediately and sneered: "At this time, I dare to force myself to break into the concession. I want to die. I won't stop you. When you make the foreigners in the concession angry first, and then I will take action, and things will be much easier."

"Zhaofu, what should you and my family members in the concession?" Wu's comprador suddenly remembered a big incident and asked, "What if the official army can't catch me in the concession, what should we do if we catch our family members?"

"I have already transferred just now." Zhou Tenghu smiled and said, "When you sent someone to report to me, in case of precaution, I sent someone to the concession to inform me and Huifu's family to transfer their residence immediately, and you have nine concubines, Mr. Wu. I also asked someone to invite them to the British Foreign Company for a temporary stay. Even if Xue Futai and the others want to take hostages, it will not be so easy."

Hearing Zhou Tenghu's arrangement, the comprador Wu felt a little relieved and became even more confused. He was worried about the safety of his children and grandchildren, and even more worried about the consequences of his grandson and the Qing court. He couldn't help but remember the topic just now...

"Can I say that my ancestral tomb really has that Feng Shui?"

"If there really is..., that would be great." Old comprador Wu, who has been engaging in a chicken dealer to this day, has become uncontrollably greedy.

At this time, in order to confuse Xue Huan and others, Zhou Tenghu encouraged them to make a big fuss in the concession to offend the Western powers to death. He deliberately pretended to be very panicked and sent an envoy to the city to question the reason. At the same time, he made a big noise and insisted that the old comprador Wu was trapped in Shanghai, so that he would become famous in the attack on Shanghai County. As a result, Xue Huan, Jierhanga and others were also deceived. Although they knew they would offend foreigners, in order to capture the old comprador Wu and Wu Nianyue as hostages, they still gritted their teeth and did not take back the army sent to the concession, and openly instigated the Qing army to forcibly break into the temporary residence of the old comprador Wu in the concession to search.
