Respectfully

There was a lot of commotion outside, but the Marshal's mansion was still calm.

Under the instruction of Li Jinyan, newspapers such as Current Affairs News under Boss Wen only published a few innocuous rebuttals against the reports and remarks that slandered the six northern provinces and even Li Jinyan himself, which made the other party even more arrogant , It also made the outside world more suspicious.

"I really have a clear conscience, why don't you dare to refute it publicly?"

The writer who exposed the "shady scenes" in the six northern provinces published several articles one after another. Li Jinyan was relieved to see the contents of the articles.Even if the rhetoric is more intense and more "insiders" are revealed, none of them hit the point.The people who wrote these articles knew some things that others didn't know, such as Li Qingyun's job in the Finance Bureau, but they didn't know anything about other more secret things.The person who told him this should not be someone close to him. As for whether it was an "insider" arranged by some forces, further investigation is needed.

Li Jinyan pointed to the signature on the newspaper article, and said, "Uncle Dumb, can you find a way to find out the details of this person?"

The dumb uncle nodded, and then stroked his neck with his hand.

"No, don't move him for now." Li Jinyan shook his head, "Don't catch him either."

This person has to be kept, he is a "big banner", maybe it will be of great use.

Uncle Dumb narrowed his only remaining eye, folded his hands in his sleeves, nodded again, he knew what to do.

Sibu has a special position in the intelligence bureau of the six northern provinces. Few people in the other three places know how many people there are, what their backgrounds are, what skills they have, and what they usually do.But they are very afraid of everyone, not only because Uncle Dumb is Li Jinyan's "confidant".

Uncle Dumb's subordinates are all from the rivers and lakes, and some of them are habitual bandits who were wanted by the court in the early years. They have not received professional intelligence training, but they can do things without leaking.Not to mention treating human life like nothing, they are all ruthless.As long as you have seen their methods, no one dares to underestimate them.

Meng Erhu and others in Transbaikal, in front of these people, even their disciples and grandchildren can't reach them.

Everyone has relatives, Leopard and others are more like his "employees", while Uncle Dumb is like his "elders" and "family".Only by leaving the matter to Uncle Dumb can Li Jinyan feel at ease.

After the dumb uncle left, Li Jinyan returned to the desk and continued the big characters he hadn't finished writing.

Bai Lao still checks his homework every day, pointing out whether it is good or bad. In addition to practicing calligraphy, he also teaches him to read history.Ran Lao is a great historian, when Bai Lao has no time, Ran Lao "rolls up his sleeves" to go into battle, a piece of "Spring and Autumn", which is easy to understand and extremely exciting, even those who are not interested in it will be fascinated by it.

Li Jinyan thought he couldn't listen, but in the mouths of Bai Lao and Ran Lao, the boring history and the wisdom and strategies of the ancients became vivid. They were not telling Li Jinyan history, but rather telling him stories.Li Jinyan is very grateful for the efforts of the two old gentlemen. If he knew that he was being taught as a six-year-old child, how would he feel?

God knows.

If you think about it carefully, how many people hold ten thousand gold in their hands can't get a few words from the old gentlemen. Li Sanshao naturally won't be ignorant of his blessings in the midst of blessings.

The five big characters written were handed in. Bai Lao and Ran Lao were playing chess. On the chessboard, the black and white chess pieces strangled together.

"The dilemma?" Bai Lao picked up a white piece and landed on the chessboard with a bang, "The dilemma can still be solved."

"Indeed." Ran Lao picked up a black spot, "Think before planning, plan before acting."

The sunspot fell, and the dilemma became a deadlock.

"Dead situation, can it be solved?"

Bai Lao picked up another white ball, but did not drop it, but looked at Li Jinyan, "Do you know how to solve the dead end?"

Li Jinyan frowned, pondered for a while, and could only shake his head. Is there any difference between these two playing a chess game for him to solve, and asking a child who just learned to count to solve Goldbach's conjecture?

"Grandfather, Ran Lao, I sincerely say that there is no way."

"Is it really impossible?"

Bai Lao laughed loudly, and the white piece in his hand fell, but it didn't land on the empty space of the chessboard, but on a black piece.Ran Lao even waved his arm and swept away half of the chess pieces. Li Jinyan saw the actions of the two old gentlemen and his jaw dropped to the ground.

"Since there is no solution, why bother to solve it?" Old Bai swept away the other half of the remaining chess pieces, "If there is no reason to say, then it is unreasonable. The ancients said to convince people with reason, but they also said that they can be defeated by ten times."

Ran Lao continued: "Those who are virtuous can be reasonable, but those who make trouble without reason don't need to be reasonable."

"..." These two in front of him are telling him that the way of reasoning will not work, so they just speak with their fists?

"Of course."

still?By the way, the two in front of you are indeed masters of Chinese studies, right?Cultural literacy is extraordinary, right?To "instigate" him not to be unreasonable?

However, with Young Marshal Lou standing there, Bai Lao's education method seems not difficult to understand.

"Teach your words carefully."

Since the elders have taught it this way, let's do it, there is nothing to think about.

"Ruzi can be taught."

Bai Lao and Ran Lao twirled their beards and laughed at the same time.

When Li Jinyan planned to convert people from persuading people with reasoning to persuading people with strength, a debate also broke out in a classroom at Guanbei Zitu Primary School.

"Evidence has been published in the newspapers, proving that it is not nothing! Shouldn't traitors be scolded?!"

"Is what the newspaper says true? Doesn't everything in black and white depend on a pen?"

"If it's not true, why didn't Li Jinyan come out to refute it?!"

"What's your name, Mr. Li?!"

"Li Jinyan!" The boy was wearing a blue blouse and black pants, with a smug face, "They are all names, why can't they be called? My brother said that he is a traitor..."

Before the boy could finish his sentence, a book hit him on the head, and then more books, exercise books and pens were thrown at him.A child threw it and shouted: "You scold Mr. Li! You are a bad person! My mother said that Mr. Li saved our family and is a living Bodhisattva. You are all bad people! You are ungrateful and bad people!"

The noise in the classroom spread outside, and Yang Pingting, who was holding a book and a ruler, stood outside the door for a long time, and waited until the class bell rang before opening the door and going in.Seeing Yang Pinting, the children all quieted down, only one boy was still crying.

Yang Pingting put down the books and teaching ruler, and stepped off the podium. The children looked anxious, "Sir..."

Seeing Yang Pinting approaching, the boy cried even louder, "Sir, they are bullying me!"

"Mister just heard it outside the door." Yang Pinting took out a handkerchief and wiped off the ink stains and tears on the boy's face, "Can you tell sir why you said that about Mr. Li?"

"Brother said it." The boy choked and hiccupped as he spoke, "Brother said so when he came back from Shanghai."

"Mr. taught everyone not to copy what others say, but to see with your own eyes and think for yourself, right?"

"kindness."

"So, tell sir, do you really think your brother is right?"

The boy thought for a while and stopped talking.

Yang Pingting asked the boy to go back to his seat, got up and walked to the podium, looked at all the children in the classroom, and said in a gentle and soft voice, "Sir, I will tell you a truth today. Rumors stop at wise men. Rumors are unfounded remarks, wise men , is a smart person. That is to say, a smart child will not believe rumors without any basis."

The classroom fell silent, only Yang Pinting's voice remained.

"This school was funded by Mr. Li. Everyone's daily breakfast and dinner, waived tuition fees, and rewards for good grades are all thanks to Mr. Li and many kind-hearted people. Everyone still thinks that what the newspaper says is true. Right? Liu Chenghu, can you tell my husband, which factory do your parents work in? Why is your brother able to go to Shanghai?"

The boy stood up, "My father is in the brush factory, and my mother is also there. My brother is going to study at the Shanghai Shipyard. It's..."

"What is it?"

"Mr. Li sent him there."

"And me!" Another child raised his hand, "My dad also works in Mr. Li's factory!"

"My mother is too!"

"And me, my parents said, without Mr. Li, our family would starve to death while fleeing famine, and my sister would be sold, just like the beautiful sister in the movie..."

"My family is the same. My mother said that the young marshal and Mr. Li are benefactors of our family. The young marshal said that the man wants to serve the country. When I grow up, I will go to the military academy and fight for the country!"

Yang Pinting stood on the podium with a smile all the time, and did not signal for everyone to be quiet until all the children had spoken.

"Everyone is a smart child. Sir, I believe that everyone will no longer listen to rumors casually. They will see with their own eyes and think with their own hearts, right?"

"Correct!"

The voices in the classroom were very loud, especially the boy who said that Li Jinyan was a traitor.He must tell his brother when he gets home, the husband said, smart kids can't believe rumors, Mr. Li is a good man!

The incident at Guanbei Zidi Primary School was just a small episode, but the several debates between Guanbei Middle School and Northern University had a considerable impact.

The students in the school were divided into two groups. One group thought that the newspapers were talking nonsense. What about the six northern provinces and Li Sanshao, the facts were all there!

"What are you talking about selling national interests? Within the six provinces, is there a railway in the hands of foreigners? Is there a mine that is not run by Chinese? The shops opened by foreigners also have to pay taxes, and the tax amount is higher! How can you talk about betraying the country? Newspapers His remarks are pure nonsense!"

"That's the case on the surface, so what's the reality? Will traitors leave the evidence on the surface?"

"You are arrogant!"

"I only believe in the truth! The truth is that there are no gods in the world, and neither is Li Jinyan!"

"you……"

"How about me?" The speaker raised his head triumphantly, "Is there nothing to say? How can the six northern provinces develop so far without external force? It's impossible! The Chinese are ignorant, how can they catch up with foreigners by themselves? "

"Is this what you really think?" A majestic voice sounded, and the students present were silent at the same time, looking in the direction of the voice, a middle-aged man in a gray gown and round glasses stood in the crowd after.

"gentlemen."

"Chinese people are ignorant, but foreigners are better than me?"

"Sir, I..."

"Regardless of your opinion on the matters published in the newspaper, I can't teach you any more with just one sentence of yours."

"gentlemen?!"

"It doesn't matter if the country is weak, or if the people are poor, but how do we bend the iron bones of the Chinese nation?! How can we be servile in front of outsiders?! From the end of the Qing Dynasty to the beginning of the Republic of China, and to today's northern and southern regions, no matter what the dynasty is. What is the political system? Generations of people have been working hard to rejuvenate China! Don’t you see the patriots who died to alert the people of the country? The soldiers who fought for the country with blood? The businessmen who did their best to make the country rich? Not to mention the China of today and the past What's the difference? It all started in the six northern provinces!"

The students listened to his words quietly, and the students who had talked eloquently before and declared that the Chinese people were ignorant also showed shame on their faces.

"There is nothing wrong with not blindly admiring a person and maintaining a heart of truth. However, before insisting on your own opinion, you need to examine yourself. Is everything you insist on 'truth'?"

From the beginning to the end, the husband did not say whether the remarks in the newspaper were right or wrong. He did the same thing as Yang Pingting. He asked the students to think for themselves, so that they could really grow up.From the previous dictatorship and democracy debates to whether the six northern provinces are in collusion with foreigners, these young people will truly touch the truth through debates and introspections.

Unlike other schools, the three military schools in Guanbei have dismissed the remarks in the newspaper from the very beginning.

Dictatorship and democracy may be worth arguing, but the six northern provinces have colluded with foreign countries... There are many foreign instructors in the school, and through contact with them, the perception of the military cadets is more direct.Except for an extra translator, these foreign instructors are treated the same as Chinese instructors. In the Naval Academy, the old Beiyang, who once fought for the country, is respected more than the British who arrived not long ago.

I didn't see any military government officials put on a "flattering" face to these foreigners, and these foreigners also indicated that they were only here to teach.

There is no such thing as a free lunch in the world, and you have to pay first if you want something. No one does not understand this truth.Maybe the military government did give some benefits to foreigners for hiring these "foreign teachers", but it will never touch the bottom line of traitorousness!

Gradually, in the six northern provinces, the conclusions on whether the military government and Li Jinyan were traitorous to the country began to become clear. Most people no longer believed in newspaper articles and rumors. However, the land cultivated and the wages received are all real!

No matter how wantonly slander and slander by people with a heart, they can only stay in newspapers and words of mouth after all.Foreigners living in the six northern provinces don’t believe all of this even more than the Huaxia people. It’s very simple. If the six northern provinces really reach a certain kind of deal with their country and sell out the interests of China, they don’t say they’re walking sideways here. At least pay The tax will not be one-third more than that of the Huaxia people, right?

The development of the matter was beyond Li Jinyan's expectations. He hadn't followed Bai Laojiao's instructions to close the door and release the young marshal. Why did the matter seem to be resolved soon?

Of course, only the six northern provinces were "solved" quickly, and the newspapers in Beijing, Shanghai and other places were still full of scolding.But when the six northern provinces are "quiet", Li Jinyan can concentrate more energy on dealing with "outsiders". Originally, he wanted to "test the water" in Guanbei first, but now he doesn't need it.

October 26th, September 29th in the lunar calendar.

Li's mansion, which had been in constant trouble because of the Japanese reporter's upside-down interview, finally swept away all the bad luck. There were lights and festoons everywhere in the mansion, and red lanterns were hung on the eaves. The third master and the third lady also had joy on their faces.

Today is the day when Li Jinming, the second young master of the Li family, gets married.

After a period of recuperation, Li Jinming's body has recovered a lot, but it is still difficult to greet the bride by himself on horseback.Fortunately, the Chen family also knew the situation of their future son-in-law, so they didn't care about it.

Before the welcoming team left the gate, the car with the flag of the Marshal's Mansion arrived. Li Jinyan got out of the car and congratulated Li San and his wife with a smile: "Third Uncle, Third Aunt, Second Brother is overjoyed."

Master Li San blushed, smiled and patted Li Jinyan on the shoulder, "Nephew, Guang Daoxi is not enough."

"Of course," Li Jinyan took out the red envelope himself. At the same time, another car arrived. Two soldiers got out of the car and carried a box of gold bars and three boxes of ocean.

"Fifty gold bars, fifty thousand oceans."

Looking at these boxes, Li Qingyun was stunned for a moment, and the guests who came to congratulate Li's mansion also fell silent at the same time.

Li Jinyan still smiled, "Third Uncle, I want to see Second Brother."

"Ah, yes, we should see you."

Li Jinyan turned and left, and the guests immediately exploded.

In other words, Li Sanshao is really a god of wealth, and his actions are really extraordinary.

That said, who said that Mr. Li San made money in the Finance Bureau?With such a nephew and no shortage of property in his hand, does he need to take this risk?

Someone answered the call again, that's the reason!

The reaction of the guests was within Li Jinyan's expectations. I believe that after today, not many people would believe Li Qingyun's corruption.To put it bluntly, he "manages" Lou Shaoshuai's money, and arranges for his third uncle to poach his corner. Did he have his head pumped or pumped?

Li Jinming's complexion is not as pale as before when people are in good spirits on happy occasions, and when talking to Li Jinyan, his voice is also moderate.

"Second brother, great joy."

Li Jinyan congratulated with a smile, sat on a chair beside him, and talked to Li Jinming.

While the brothers were exchanging greetings, the third wife was pulled aside by her sister-in-law who came to congratulate her. Sun Qingquan was busy with business and was unable to attend the nephew's wedding in person. Originally, he only needed to send a telegram. Will challenge.Sun Qingquan didn't do that, he didn't come, but Mrs. Sun did.

Besides attending the nephew's wedding, there is another thing that must be told to the third lady.

"Qing He, what you entrusted to your brother may not work."

"Sister-in-law?" The third lady left the happy fortune outside, and dragged the third lady into the back hall, "Really?"

"No." Mrs. Sun shook her head, "It's not that my elder brother and sister-in-law refused to help you, it's that Jin Shu made a fuss."

"Sister-in-law, I don't ask for anything else, I just want to..."

"Qinghe, my sister-in-law advises you that although the old man said that children are all debt collectors, there is no reason for parents to be embarrassed by debt collection."

The third lady opened her mouth, but was stopped by Mrs. Sun, "Your brother sent someone to investigate. That Xu Yiwen has not only married a wife, but also has a son, and there are two concubines at home. Jinshu is also a concubine. But the Xu family There has been no movement so far. She stayed in Suzhou improperly and got to know some "progressive youths". The rumors spread are quite unpleasant. It doesn't make sense to press Xu's family to divorce his wife and marry another. After listening to my sister-in-law's advice, my brother-in-law changed the genealogy a long time ago , if you don’t think for yourself, you should also think for Jinming.”

"Is it the meat that fell from my body..."

"My sister-in-law knows, but cutting the flesh is also to save my life."

"Life insurance?"

"You still don't know?" Mrs. Sun seemed surprised, but she didn't stop talking, "How do you think the reporters in Shanghai know that my brother-in-law is working in the Finance Bureau?"

"Could it be?"

Mrs. Sun nodded.

The third lady's face turned pale, but a happy voice came from outside the door, "Ma'am, the sedan chair has arrived, and the master invites you to go over."

"Come here." The third lady pinched her leg hard, today is a good day for her son, and there must be no mistakes.

Looking at the third wife like this, Mrs. Sun couldn't bear it for a moment, but thinking of her daughter at home, she still hardened her heart.When she received the telegram from the third lady, she didn't stop Sun Qingquan from helping her niece, but after finding out what Li Jinshu had done and learning that she was removed from the genealogy by Li Qingyun, Mrs. Sun didn't want to have anything to do with her anymore. involve.

Such a girl has a bad reputation if she touches it a bit.Her daughter was about to discuss marriage. Originally, she wanted to get closer to the Song family. If someone like Li Jinshu got involved and some gossip spread, her daughter's marriage would definitely have twists and turns.

People are selfish, the third wife is worried about her daughter, and she also has a daughter.It doesn't make sense to affect his daughter's marriage for a Li Jinshu who is out of tune and seems to be in trouble.

With the sound of firecrackers, the curtain of the red sedan chair was lifted, and Miss Chen, who was covered with a red hijab, was supported by Xi Niang, leading the red silk, and crossed the gate of the mansion.

Li Jinming was in poor health, and the toasts during the banquet were all ordered. Li Jinyan, as a cousin, should have helped, but the guests present were even more afraid to bully Li Sanshao, and they just gave up after a while.

On the day of the wedding, the old lady did not go out of the Buddhist hall, but was bowed down by the newlyweds the next day.When she saw Miss Chen, after saying a few words, a rare smile appeared on her face, and she gave her a pair of gold inlaid agate bracelets that had been with her for many years.

After eating the wedding wine and returning to the Marshal's Mansion, it was already dark.

Li Jinyan washed off the smell of alcohol on his body, changed his clothes, first went to greet Bai Lao, and then went to the study on the second floor.

"Young commander, I'm back."

Pushing open the door, Li Jinyan walked to the desk in a few steps and smiled straight at Young Marshal Lou.

"Drinking?"

"A little bit." Li Jinyan grinned, leaned forward, and pressed his forehead together, "Young commander, my grandfather told me that if the reason doesn't make sense, use your fist."

"so?"

"Lend me your fist, okay?"

Marshal Lou didn't make a sound, leaned back in the chair, clasped his hands, and raised one eyebrow, "Benefits?"

Two seconds later, Li Sanshao grabbed Marshal Lou's collar, and then... the Buddha said, don't say it.

In short, the next day, after Li Jinyan woke up, he lay in bed for a long time and didn't get up until after lunch.

At the same time, a fleet of two bombers and [-] fighter jets from the six northern provinces took off from the recently completed Khabarovsk Airport. Japanese Occupied Areas, making their debuts.

As for why there is "ghost-seeing sorrow" that makes aircraft designers want to hit the wall
