Chapter 1370 The Li Family Courtyard
After reading the letter, Fang Linyan's heart moved: Vladivostok is only 700 kilometers away from the mainland of Japan. In this case, after the four Spanish armed merchant ships pick up the people, they can launch a surprise attack within two days!

In this regard, the plan proposed by the Russian minister is much stronger than sending sailors from Australia.

Of course, don't look at the Russian minister's hype about the Russian soldiers, but it is certain that these Russians must be very poor in terms of military discipline and obedience.

Even Fang Linyan could guess the composition of this group of Russian mercenaries. They should be a group of villains, exiled criminals, blocking all adventurers from the Far East.
In terms of military discipline, the British sailors in Australia are obviously stronger.

However, what Fang Linyan wanted to do was to throw these Russian dregs into the cities of Japan to cause disaster. As for their character, whether they were innocent or modest, Fang Linyan didn't pay much attention to it, as long as it wasn't the Chinese who caused the disaster.

The result he wants is actually very simple, that is, to beat the Japanese so hard that they will face the reality, and then kneel down and call Dad.

What the Americans did during World War II is a good illustration of this point. After the Japanese were beaten up, they honestly treated the Americans like dogs for decades.

After thinking it over, Fang Linyan said to Ma Kui very simply:
"Brother Ma, you don't need to go to Shanghai. I read this letter. It is mainly about raising money. I think the conditions mentioned above can be agreed to. Wait for me to write a note, and you can make another trip. Just send a telegram to Mr. Song."

Ma Kui is also very clear that Fang Linyan and Qiao's family are Mr. Song's pocketbook. Since it is a financial matter, he can certainly settle it with one word, so Fang Linyan has no objection to the arrangement, and said directly:
"Ok!"

Then Fang Linyan wrote a reply in a hurry. The telegram is expensive at this time, so it must be concise and concise, and then handed it to Ma Kui.

At this time, it was almost time for dinner. Regardless of the fact that this is the countryside, I really answered two lines of poetry: "Mo Xiao's farmhouse is full of dried wine, and there are enough chickens and pigs to stay in a good year."

The Huo family is also considered a middle-class family in this township. Apart from the pharmacy, there are more than ten acres of irrigated land, so even if they have just suffered a military disaster, they still have wine and meat to entertain guests.

At this time, the weather is hot, and what we eat at noon is rice porridge with corn slags permeated by cold boiled water, cold green radish skins, freshly fried small fish and pancakes, which are quite hearty.

As a result, when the group of people were eating, Master Huo's disciple Ah Qi also trotted in from the outside, and when he saw Fang Linyan, he said in surprise:

"Master Hu, you are back. Mr. Liu said that there is something urgent to ask you to come over. He said that he has made a new discovery about those Japanese people. He should have found their hiding place."

When Fang Linyan heard this, he immediately became interested and said:
"Oh? Then you deal with it first and take a bite, we'll go there right away!"

Needless to say, those present must have gone together.

Li San received the money and was convinced by Fang Linyan. After experiencing the highlight moments of his previous life, his dream has changed from saving enough 5 taels of silver to wash his hands in the golden basin to being the big housekeeper of Mr. Hu. Since then, I have lived a stable life with a monthly salary of 20 taels, a wife and children on the kang
Not to mention Wang Wu, even if Fang Linyan's relationship is put aside, he and Master Huo are also close friends, and it can be said that it is obligatory to come to help.

But Tan Sitong is a pragmatic person. He knows that the court has been devastated by this group of Japanese pirates who raided recently:

Some people said that there were only a few hundred of these Japanese pirates, and they were just bluffing and robbing houses.

Some people said that they were only the vanguard troops who came to fight the outposts, and the follow-up troops were still behind!Advocate an immediate curfew in the capital!

There are also pessimists who are directly singing the bad news: Li Gongzhang, Mr. Li's Huai army has been beaten into a shrinking egg, and now the green camp of the capital is as reliable as a bird?It is recommended that Lafayette must make early preparations for "Xihun" Chengde.

Therefore, since they met, Tan Sitong was going to go with his friends to find out the reality of these Japanese pirates. If he got the first-hand information, his power of speech in the court would undoubtedly increase greatly.

But Tan Sitong's status is extraordinary, he was originally a noble son of a wealthy family, he was trusted by the emperor, and he was also the favorite student of the emperor's teacher Weng Tonghe, these three identities determined that it was impossible for him to travel in white fish and dragon clothes.

So when he came this time, he brought seven or eight followers with him, and they seemed to be very capable. According to Wang Wu's introduction, these people were all sent by the old man of the Tan family (Tan Sitong's father), regardless of loyalty or skill. They are all first-class and strong.

So a group of people directly killed them in a mighty way. After meeting Fang Linyan, he found that Master Liu's complexion can be said to be much better.

It seems that after a night's rest, plus Master Huo's conditioning, the injury should be under control. Of course, this is also related to the fact that Master Liu's rib fracture is not serious.

Tan Sitong actually knew Mr. Liu, this is the strength of the second generation of officials.

Because Tan Sitong's father worked in the Ministry of Officials for 15 years before he became Governor of Huguang. The Ministry of Officials was in charge of the transfer of officials all over the world. Come to make friends, so Mr. Tan must know most of the officials well.

After talking about friendship quickly, Mr. Liu said very simply:
"This gang of Japanese pirates is so rampant that they dared to assassinate the court officials. I was really annoyed, so I asked people to search for their traces. It turned out that these gangsters were really treacherous, and they were broken into pieces and hidden in Cui. An island on the other side of Jiadian."

"They put 300 people on the island, and the remaining 100 people rested directly on the boat, and the other 100 people lived in a village called Li's Courtyard under the leadership of the local Communist Party."

Fang Linyan's heart moved when he heard this, and said:

"In this way, we have to hurry up now. The other party seems to be very vigilant, and he can get on the boat and run away at any time."

Master Liu waved his hand and said:
"There is no need to worry. According to the information I have learned, this group of Japanese pirates has fled until now, and it is also at the end of their battle. They also just contacted the people from the ***, and there are nearly a hundred of them with injuries. Now that I have rested there, at least two or three days have to be rested before we talk about it."

Hearing Master Liu's words, Fang Linyan felt that the source of his information was really awesome, so detailed data and information could be obtained.

But if you think about it carefully, if the Japanese task force succeeds, it will definitely change the current war situation, and it can even be said to change history. great!
Under such circumstances, it is only natural for Master Liu to obtain sufficient intelligence support.

***
The sky started to get dark, and there was even light rain falling,
In the Li Family Courtyard, every house was filled with people in all directions, and the Japanese were exhausted. Even if there was no bedding, they just laid some straw poles on the ground, and they lay down on the spot quickly. They snored like thunder, and they couldn't wake up even by screaming. Some wounded even fell asleep and died.

In the wing room of Mr. Li's family, a group of people also looked at each other in dismay. The one sitting at the top was the old man from the Li family's courtyard, smoking a pipe with a rather frowning look, while the ones at the bottom were his three sons.

Suddenly, Master Li's second son Li Quan said angrily:

"***'s yellow tumor is really a dog! That's not what he said when he came to me. He promised me 50 taels of gold, and then said that a large caravan would stay here for two days! I thought about it. Looking at this quick money, it’s not worth it, but what I didn’t expect was such a group of plague gods, the yellow big tumors of the dog days!!”

Before Li Quan finished speaking, he was kicked by Mr. Li:
"Evil! What are you yelling about? Don't you have a clue? Don't you see who is holding the knife right now?"

After Li Quan was kicked, his whole body grinned, but the expression on his face was uglier than mourning, but he didn't even dare to speak back.

Master Li's eldest son, Li Tao, let out a long sigh and said:

"I took Changgong Dazhu and the others to deliver meals. The new group of people was like a reincarnation of starving ghosts. The hot porridge was so hot that their mouths grinned, and they didn't want to spit it out. He also speaks oriental dialect!"

Li Quan gritted his teeth and said:

"Huang Daliu didn't say that. He just told me that a friend on the road made a lot of money, and was bitten by the government, so he borrowed my place to rest!"

Li Tao also ignored this younger brother. If the two of them hadn't been controlled by the old man above, they would have been out of their wits.

"Father, you don't know that these people look at Sister-in-law Wang's eyes, almost bursting into flames, that's Sister-in-law Wang, who is in her early forties, and the creases on her face can fall off, that is, her body It's pretty full."

"This group of people is extremely tired now, so they still seem to be calm, but it's hard to say when they recover. I think there will probably be an accident tonight, so we need to prepare early."

Li Yuanwai snorted lightly from his nostrils:
"Do you still need to remind me? In the afternoon, I will ask Zhu Laosan to see if the road over the woodshed is still clear. We will leave when it gets dark!"

Li Quan was taken aback and said:

"Let's go, don't pack up? What about my wife and baby?"

Li Yuanwai was furious when he heard this, and slapped Li Quan directly, causing Li Quan's nose to bleed profusely:

"At this moment, you are still thinking about your possessions! You want money, don't you want your life? Do you want to set up some cars for you and go out from the main gate?"

"This time, if you hadn't seen Qian's eyes opening to lure wolves into the house, how could such a thing happen!"

Li Quan was too shy to speak, but at this moment, a group of people suddenly heard two knocks at the outer door, probably because they were pushed outside, and then there was a loud "Kala", which should be Was kicked away.

Li Yuanwai was furious, his gray eyebrows stood up sharply, but before he could speak, he saw Huang Datum swaying in.

This person's real name is Huang Daliu, but later he developed a small thumb-sized black sarcoma next to his nose, so others called him Huang Daliu. A perfect example of a guy behind his back.

And Huang Daliu's right hand was holding a bloody head, and he threw it in front of them, and said with a smile:
"The brothers who were patrolling just now found a thief who broke into Zhuangzi! He was caught and killed without any hassle. Let's see if you know each other?"

After all, the four of the Li family, father and son, are nothing more than a few local tyrants in the countryside. Wherever they saw the scene of bloody steamed buns rolling around, they were immediately frightened out of their wits, and their voices trembled uncontrollably. After knowing it, I was even more horrified.

It turned out that this head was none other than Li Yuanwai's confidant Zhu Laosan. Those bitter hahas usually bowed and called out to Butler Zhu when they saw each other!
However, it was just such an acquaintance, who was already decapitated, and the grinning face was really creepy, and goose bumps popped up on his back.

It was a coincidence that the dead head just rolled in front of Li Quan, and the two eyes stared blankly at him, and Li Quan's stomach was overwhelmed, and he vomited out with a wow.

At this time, I heard Huang Daliu say slowly:

"Before this thief died, he said that someone sent him to inquire about the news, so the adults above asked me to ask if he was an acquaintance of the four?"

Li Tao hurriedly waved his hands and said:
"Of course not, of course not!!"

Huang Dazhao said with a half-hearted smile:

"Really?"

"No!" Li Tao said.

Huang Dali sneered and said:

"I really don't know you?"

Li Tao said:
"I really don't know!!"

Huang Dayu shrugged and said:
"That's good, that's good. Speaking of it this way, you really don't have the slightest precaution in your village. If a thief gets in so easily, if the other party has any malicious intentions, wouldn't the whole family be scared?" Are you going to die?"

Speaking of this, Huang Dali deliberately emphasized the words "the whole family is dead", then touched his chin, and said meaningfully:
"Several members, you said, our brothers helped you eliminate such a big hidden danger, shouldn't we be rewarded? Let everyone eat something good?"

Li Yuanwai slapped his thigh fiercely:
"Should!! Must give!"

The old man stood up tremblingly, and with a grateful face, he took out a package from the kang hole next to him, opened it, and saw the golden light shining!Then offer it with both hands.

"You take the 100 taels of gold first! Later, Ma Yuanwai still owes me two thousand silver, and I will take it together to thank my brothers!"

Seeing Jin Zi, Huang Daliu's eyes suddenly showed greedy light. After taking a deep look at Li Yuanwai, he laughed loudly and said:
"The old man is really bold!"
