across the heavens

Everyone was startled, and looked to where the voice came from, only to find that it was Han Dong who was speaking.

Huang Feihong didn't know what Han Dong meant, and was about to speak, but the admiral shouted at Han Dong:

"Who are you, talking nonsense, what do you mean?"

Looking at the admiral, Han Dong said slowly:

"What do you mean? The thugs who set the fire just retreated, and the adults rushed over. When did the efficiency of the Yamen work so high?"

The admiral was furious and shouted:

"The yamen needs you to talk too much? In order to catch the culprit, the official has to come quickly!"

"is it?"

Facing Han Dong, Han Dong suddenly said loudly:

"Han Dong, my lord, came back from studying in France. I heard that the admiral of Foshan was dissatisfied with the imperial court. He made friends with foreigners outside, cultivated party members secretly, and planned rebellion. Now it seems that it is true!"

The admiral smiled instead of anger, pointed at Han Dong and said:

"Okay, what a troublemaker, you actually framed this official for rebellion. If you don't give an explanation today, this official will arrest all of you from Baozhilin!"

"Master Admiral!"

Han Dong raised his voice suddenly, startling the people around him.

"The thieves last night were all fighting with open flames, and everyone was equipped with war horses. They also had a close relationship with the admiral's yamen. They secretly instructed his subordinates to raid the houses at night. When it was over, the admiral personally brought people over to destroy the evidence!"

Han Dong said loudly:

"Secretly raising so many soldiers and horses, what is the admiral's intention?"

"Ignore the imperial court's decree and let the soldiers and horses secretly reared to do evil in the local area. Isn't the admiral planning to rebel, what is he going to do?"

Everyone was shocked when they heard that, the thief who set fire last night was secretly kept by the admiral?

Not to mention Huang Feihong and others, even the soldiers brought by the admiral were watching each other. Is this true?

"Bold!"

The admiral shouted.

He was really a little scared, the crime of secretly raising soldiers and horses is so serious, if it gets out, not to mention the official hat on his head, I'm afraid the whole family's life will be in danger.

At this time, the Qing government tried every means to guard against the generals who held military power, and would not allow local officials to raise soldiers and horses privately.

To put it bluntly, what do you do to raise soldiers and horses?This is something that cannot be tolerated in any dynasty.

Chapter 32 The Frightened Admiral

"Shameless lunatic, dare to frame me, what did the thief do with me last night?"

The admiral said angrily.

"Admiral, dare to say that it has nothing to do with you?"

Seeing the admiral's frightened and angry look, Han Dong was secretly refreshed, and continued:

"The thief caught last night has already confessed to being a member of the Shahe gang. Yesterday my master arrested the leader of the Shahe gang, A Hong, to the yamen, but was released on the spot by the admiral!"

"Excuse me"

Han Dong stared at the admiral and said:

"If the thieves from the Shahe gang who burned Baozhilin last night had nothing to do with you, why did you allow the Shahe gang to make trouble in Foshan? Even my master arrested the leader of the thieves, but you released them yourself!"

"The thief leader was only released during the day, and at night he ordered the thief to come and burn my Baozhilin. Admiral, you are too impatient!"

"you you"

The admiral pointed at Han Dong, you were speechless for a long time.

"What are you!"

Han Dong said:

"Do you want to bring out the thief who was caught by us last night for questioning, to see if he is the private soldier Shahe Gang raised by Lord Admiral?"

"Bastard!"

The admiral cursed:

"Even if it was someone from the Shahe gang who burned your Baozhilin last night, what does it have to do with me!"

"How does your lord explain the release of Ah Hong, the leader of the Shahe gang yesterday?"

Han Dong said aggressively.

The admiral was speechless again.

He released Ah Hong only to disgust Huang Feihong. He had never taken notice of this kind of turf fighting for territory.

What's more, whether it's the Shahe gang who is occupying the territory now, or the local gangs here before, they have given him enough benefits.

But of course he couldn't say it.

Worst of all, the admiral didn't expect that the Shahe gang still had horses!

In any era, folk horses are rare, and they are basically monopolized by the government. Only the army can have horses.

Looking at the nine horses tied in the yard, the admiral knew that Han Dong's words were true. I'm afraid the Shahe gang really set the fire last night, and they really came on horses.

Seeing the admiral's embarrassed expression, Han Dong simply continued to add fuel to the fire, saying:

"If your lord really wants to rebel, we won't just watch. My master, Huang Feihong, under the order of General Liu Yongfu, formed a militia group to defend the family and the country, and to quell chaos for the court!"

After that, he arched his hands into the air and said:

"We have to write a letter to General Liu Yongfu to let him know. As for whether General Liu Yongfu led his troops back to Foshan to suppress the rebellion, or whether he wrote to the court, I don't know!"

Those words scared the admiral to the ground.

If it provokes a local civil uprising, this crime is enough for him to go to prison, and if Liu Yongfu joins him in a crime of rebellion, he will also be unable to eat and walk around.

Although it sounds unbelievable that he, an admiral, would rebel, but the thoughts of those ministers in the court are even more unbelievable.

At that time, in order to quell the anger of the local people or to appease Liu Yongfu, who knows if the imperial court will attack him?
