"Brother Yue, look at this..."

Hearing Yue Zhongqi's report, Nian Gengyao did not comment, but instead took out a few pieces of paper and handed it to Yue Zhongqi!

"What is this?" Yue Zhongqi took it and did not look directly. Instead, he asked Nian Gengyao first.

"This is what our Singer sent to send to him when he left, saying that it was written by Lord Madema..." Nian Gengyao replied with a hint of teasing in his tone.

"Oh?..." Yue Zhongqi unfolded the paper and looked at it.

"Look at this place..." Nian Gengyao pointed at a few lines of words with his fingers and asked Yue Zhongqi to take a closer look.

"...Japan is a 'working clan'. People in their country are good at learning, but they are narrow-minded, tenacious, and hardworking. They can do whatever they want to achieve their goals, and they have strong cohesion. The nature of the people is as if they have two extremes: one extreme, self-esteem is exclusive; the other extreme, they worship the strong! They do not respect all people in their bones, but have always obey the conquerors....The Japanese are hardworking, hierarchical, etiquette, order, strict and serious, gentle and elegant; at the same time, they are cruel and arrogant and vicious. Japan has the 'Bushido', which makes people take 'killing' as a career, has the rules of 'no knife', and is allowed to test swords with civilians... In summary, the Japanese are as 'trained as rabbits, as fierce as wolf'..."

...

"General, why do I think this..." Yue Zhongqi followed Nian Gengyao's instructions and looked at a few pieces of paper again and again. He felt that his mind seemed to be in a paste, and he couldn't tell what was.

"Do you think it's wrong and the preface is inconsistent?" Nian Gengyao asked with a smile.

"It's true!" Yue Zhongqi nodded.

"When I first read it, I felt like you. At first I thought it was Mr. Ma who was ridiculous! But after thinking about it carefully, I felt that what these pieces of paper were very reasonable! Don't you think that such inconsistent words are more accurate than those words that can be confusingly confusing words?" Nian Gengyao said.

"Oh?..." Yue Zhongqi did not ask again, but instead began to ponder. Nian Gengyao looked at him from the side and turned his eyes away. However, at this moment, a hint of gloom appeared in his eyes, "Mad, Mad! Are you talking about these pirates, or are you talking about me, Nian Gengyao? Humph! The Japanese obey the strong, and I dare not ignore the Fourth Master; the Japanese do whatever I want to do to achieve my goals, Nian Gengyao is doing whatever I want; then what is the Japanese "Bushido" who takes "killing" as a career? Are you mocking me for what I do in Fengtian?...'Training like a rabbit, fierce as a wolf', huh, should I thank you for your comment?"

...

"General," After a while of silence, Yue Zhongqi raised his head again.

"How is it?" Nian Gengyao asked with a normal expression.

"It seems to be gaining something!... But, I still don't understand some things!" Yue Zhongqi replied.

"Brother Yue, don't you feel a little surprised?" Nian Gengyao asked again.

"Surprised?"

"That's right!" Nian Gengyao smiled slightly and said, "Brother Yue, don't you think that Master Ma, who knows these Japanese in the East, seems to be a bit too far apart? I heard that he has returned from the West and knows so clearly about the things about the East? And he also said that he is very good at it!... Could it be that he can have such experience by just guarding these Japanese pirates for a period of time? This kind of mind is a bit amazing, right?"

"Sir, you mean..." Yue Zhongqi looked at Nian Gengyao's eyes and felt a thrust in his heart.

"It's nothing, I'm just talking..." Nian Gengyao smiled slightly and did not continue talking.

***************

Anqing!

After leaving the governor's yamen, almost all the officials felt like a dream.

This is especially true for the magistrate of Xuancheng Wang Wenjing. At the beginning, he was also a very happy person who jumped up and down. He alone helped Xu Yue and the other three connect five magistrates. Now, thinking about it, this kind of action was actually walking around the edge of the blade...

"Fortunately, this Futai Master did not want to turn things into a major case, otherwise I wouldn't be able to escape!"

With a heart that was temporarily settled, he found his own one in the sixty or seventy sedan chairs in front of the yamen. He was about to sit on it, but he heard someone calling his name again.

"Mr. Wang!"

The visitor was not far from him, so he copied it in just a few steps and bowed to him.

"Master Fang!" Wang Wenjing knew the old man in front of him, and after getting used to it, he also raised his hand.

"Mr. Wang, our prefect is welcome!" Master Fang said with a smile.

"Mr. Li?" Wang Wenjing pondered for a moment. Master Fang was a subordinate of Li Wenmin, the governor of Ningguo. He came to invite him at this moment, probably because he wanted to inquire about the matter. However, from the tone of the new Ma Futai, Li Wenmin was determined to step down, and he would never use it. It was really not good at this time...

"Mr. Wang, what are you embarrassed about? Do you want a villain to help you think of a solution?" Master Fang saw that Wang Wenjing didn't seem to want to go, and asked in a bad way.

"No, no, no, what's the problem? Let's go, Master Fang, please lead the way!" After Wang Wenjing said that, he got into the sedan chair. At the same time as he was called away, two magistrates were invited to the other side.

...

"Master Prefect!" Wang Wenjing was taken by Master Fang in Anqing City. Finally, he arrived at a small inn and walked in through the back door. He met Li Wenmin in a room in the backyard, but at this time, the Magistrate was alone.

"Brother Wang, sit down!" Li Wenmin showed great enthusiasm and actively greeted him and sat down.

"I dare not, I dare not, the prefect is too polite!" Wang Wenjing certainly knew why Li Wenmin was so polite. If Li Wenmin had been so polite to him in the past, he would have to resolutely refuse, but now, he just shoved and sat down.

"I don't know if the prefect asked the minister to come, do you have any instructions?" After sitting down, Wang Wenjing asked Li Wenmin again.

"Brother Wang, do you still need to ask what I am doing? Alas, as soon as I left the Governor's yamen, I separated from Lord Chang and Lord Xu, and sent Master Fang to wait for you at the yamen!...Brother Wang, you and I have a very good relationship. Please tell Li in terms of past feelings. After the three of us left, what did the Governor say? Is there anything about the three of us?" Li Wenmin asked as soon as he came up.

"Master, this is probably not easy to say!" Wang Wenjing said in a dilemma.

"Brother Wang, what did I, Li Wenmin, treat you in the past? Could it be that at this moment, Brother Wang, you really plan to refuse to save me?" Seeing Wang Wenjing's behavior, Li Wenmin felt a little cold, and hurriedly stood up and bowed deeply to Wang Wenjing, asking for the words with some crying voices.

"Oh, Lord Xu, that's not what Wang meant!" Hurry up to hold Li Wenmin's bowing action, Wang Wenjing said again, "Actually, you and Lord Xu and others have nothing to do, but this is really hard to say!"

"Brother Wang, no matter whether he is easy to say or not, please help me!" Li Wenmin reached out and held Wang Wenjing's hand and asked again.

"This... OK, magistrate, please sit down first!" Wang Wenjing felt a lot of paper in his hand, and his tone immediately softened, and he invited Li Wenmin back to his seat.

...

"Master, you, Lord Chang, and Lord Xu, are really in trouble this time!..." Wang Wenjing sighed as soon as he opened his mouth.

"I would like to ask Brother Wang for advice!" Li Wenmin bowed.

"Mr. Ma said that he had already written to the court to ask the emperor to just be your three prefects, and also..."

"What else?" Li Wenmin asked anxiously.

"We must also 'forever-not-recited' to you!" Wang Wenjing said.

"This... how can this be done? I, we didn't really do anything! How could he just let us do it, and never use it?...Brother Wang, did you hear it wrong?" Li Wenmin said anxiously. Although Wang Wenjing did not mention the murder, which made him feel a little more stable, but never to use it. For an official like him, this punishment would almost cost his life.

"Oh! This is what Lord Ma said in front of all the officials, and can it be false? Moreover, he asked the court for the position of three prefects of you three as rewards, as rewards, to our Anhui Province, three magistrates with outstanding political achievements in the next two years!" Wang Wenjing said again.

"This... the position of the prefect has been lingered for two years? Brother Wang, don't tease me, how could the court agree to such a ridiculous act?" Li Wenmin said disbelief.

"Absurd? Master, this matter may not be ridiculous! Since we, Lord Ma, dared to slap this in front of so many officials, this matter is most certain. Otherwise, how could he have the face to rule Anhui? Even the court cannot come down!" Wang Wenjing stretched out his hand and pointed up and replied.

"Then, what if someone in the court opposes him to depose the three of us?" Li Wenmin swallowed and suddenly said.

"Oppose? My magistrate, haven't you heard it yet? Our new Futai Lord must have direct access to the emperor! Even the four masters in the study may not be able to control them. Since he can ask the emperor to issue an imperial edict, who can object to you three?" Wang Wenjing said.

"The four ministers in the study room cannot do it, then...if..." Li Wenmin gritted his teeth, not knowing whether he should finish his words for a moment.

"What if it is? Master Xu, you have to think about it. Our Lord Ma is a new official. If these three fires are burned, the emperor may sell him face. You, Lord Xu, Lord Chang, and Mr. Chang this time, there is no hope!" Wang Wenjing said with his sparse beard under his chin and narrowed his eyes.

"What if... what if there is someone with a high status in the court talking to the three of us?" Li Wenmin asked with some dissatisfaction.

"The status is very high? Which of the lords in the court is not a 'expert'? Lord Li, don't we all say it? Our Lord Ma is directly connected to the emperor. You are probably not going to be able to do this! Unless... your lord really has 'weight'." Wang Wenjing felt a little strange when he heard Li Wenmin repeatedly mentioning "the lords in the court".

"Of course it's enough!" A ray of light suddenly burst out from Li Wenmin's eyes, almost shocking Wang Wenjing, who was paying attention to his expression.
