Travel through the heavens

Even after Fang Muye left, Mr. Zhang was still not at peace. He sat in the front hall, looking at the mountain of betrothal gifts in a daze.

In this era, it was common for an old man to marry a young wife. Although Fang Muye was not much younger than Zhang Weng, he looked like he was less than 30 years old and had never been married. Moreover, he was a first-rank official in the court, commanding the Green Camp cavalry and infantry of an entire province, and was absolutely in a high position of power.

Mr. Zhang was so happy that his daughter got married that he didn't care about age. His earlier dissatisfaction about having his precious daughter taken away, as well as his desire to teach Fang Muye a lesson, had long since disappeared when Fang Muye called him "Uncle".

Naturally, Mr. Zhang had no objection to the marriage of Fang Muye and Zhang Shaojun. After some discussion, he saw that ten days later was an auspicious day, so he set the wedding date on that day.

Zhang Shaojun saw Fang Muye off and returned to the front hall. Seeing Mr. Zhang sitting there in a daze, he happily called out, "Dad."

Zhang Weng came back to his senses and looked at Zhang Shaojun who couldn't contain his joy. He felt deeply moved and said in a deep voice, "Alas, my precious daughter is going to get married soon."

Zhang Shaojun saw that his father was a little depressed, so he walked over to comfort him, "Dad, even if I get married, I am still your daughter."

Mr. Zhang touched Zhang Shaojun's head and said as he recalled, "Your mother passed away early, and your father was busy with business. He neglected to care for you two sisters, which made you suffer."

Zhang Shaojun held Zhang Weng's hand and said, "You are busy with business for the good of this family." At this point, he couldn't help but sigh, "It's a pity that Shaoxuan can't come back when I get married."

Mr. Zhang comforted him, "Shaoxuan is in England. It will take more than two months to send the message and wait for her to come back, which will delay your lifelong event. Besides, I am also worried about the business in England. If you get married soon, I can go back earlier and take care of your sister."

In the evening, Fang Muye took Huang Feihong to Songhe Tower for a banquet.

"Brother God!" He Yunwen smiled and bowed to Fang Muye, then clasped his fists to Huang Feihong who was following behind him: "Master Huang!"

Last night, the militia members were bailed out by Fang Muye. He Yunwen knew that Fang Muye had some relationship with Huang Feihong, but he did not expect that he would bring Huang Feihong to the banquet.

Huang Feihong smiled and clasped his fists in return: "Master He."

Fang Muye smiled and said, "Brother He, Feihong is my nephew from a later generation. I heard that there was some misunderstanding between him and Lord He, so I brought him here to apologize. I hope Brother He doesn't mind."

"Haha, it turns out that the flood washed away the Dragon King Temple. Master Huang, let's not talk about it before. We should get closer in the future." He Yunwen laughed and raised his hand to invite him: "Brother Shen, Master Huang, please!"

After some polite greetings, the three of them sat down one after another and began to clink glasses and chat happily.

After three rounds of drinks, Yan Zhendong went upstairs, first bowed to the two adults at the table, then walked to Fang Muye, leaned over and whispered something in his ear, then stood up and stood behind him.

He Yunwen saw this and asked, "Brother Shen, is there something wrong?"

Fang Muye smiled and said, "Brother He, you know why I came to Foshan."

He Yunwen raised his eyebrows and asked, "Oh? But is there any progress?"

Fang Muye said loudly: "Yes, my men have just arrested the criminal. If you have nothing to do later, you can come with me and take a look."

He Yunwen laughed and said, "That's what I really want, but I dare not ask for it!"

In the Foshan Dusi Office, Fang Muye and He Yunwen sat on the left and right of the hall, while Huang Feihong sat on one side.

Yan Zhendong shouted loudly: "Bring the prisoners!"

Immediately, soldiers escorted a bearded man in his thirties to the hall. The bearded man had a Chinese face, but had short hair and wore a black suit. Even though he was arrested, he still looked arrogant and unconcerned.

The soldier who was escorting him kicked him at the back of the knee, and the bearded man immediately fell to his knees.

The bearded man was afraid of being tortured again, so he did not stand up. He asked in a tough voice, "Sir, I am the comprador of the American Jackson Merchant Marine. Why are you arresting me?"

Fang Muye shouted, "Why are we arresting you? You've committed a crime!"

The bearded man sneered, "Sir, I don't know what I have done wrong. Please tell me clearly. If you have framed me, Mr. Jackson will seek justice for me."

Seeing the bearded man's fearless look, Fang Muye couldn't help but laugh out of anger. He was just a comprador, but relying on his relationship with American merchant ships, he thought he was superior to others and even looked down on the court officials. It was really ridiculous.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: It's because the country is not a good one that the morals are declining and this situation has come about.

Fang Muye said sternly: "You are an accomplice of the evil, you have deceived the people of your country and harmed your compatriots in the name of recruiting workers. Now that the matter has been exposed, why don't you confess the truth!"

The bearded man was shocked, his eyes rolled around, but he still said in a dignified tone, "Sir, we are recruiting workers in a serious manner. We signed the contract willingly. Please don't be deceived."

Fang Muye sneered, "Do you really think I know nothing? You take advantage of the fact that Chinese people cannot read foreign languages, and ship people to the United States to work as laborers in exchange for travel expenses and food expenses. Not to mention how many people were thrown into the sea on the way, even if they arrive in the United States, they will be marked like pigs, and if they try to escape, they will be beaten to death. You treat human life as worthless, how dare you call yourselves human beings?"

The bearded man heard Fang Muye's account so clearly, as if he had seen it with his own eyes, and knew that the matter was indeed exposed. He began to panic in his heart and stopped talking.

Fang Muye glanced at him and said, "You still haven't said anything yet? Come on, drag him down and give him thirty lashes. I'll see if he still has the nerve to keep his mouth shut!"

Immediately, soldiers dragged the bearded man away. This Dusi Office was not a government office for trying cases, so there were no sticks for beating people. However, the soldiers were smart enough to find military sticks to carry out the execution.

This thing is much more severe than a stick. After only ten hits, the bearded man couldn't bear it anymore and cried out, "Stop hitting me, I confess." The officers and soldiers who were beating him ignored him and continued to hit him with thirty sticks, until the bearded man's butt was broken and bloody.

When the bearded man was dragged back to the hall, he looked seriously injured and weak. Without waiting for Fang Muye to ask, he cried out, "Sir, I confess everything. Please stop beating me!"

The bearded man then told all the evil things he had done to help the Jackson Merchant Ship, like pouring beans.

Listening to his description, everyone in the hall felt as if they had seen a hell on earth. They saw countless Chinese people being pushed into this hell, unable to survive. They were so angry that they gnashed their teeth and clenched their fists.

So many Chinese people boarded the ship with great anticipation and enthusiasm, but it was not a merchant ship heading to Gold Mountain, but a ghost ship heading to a mountain of corpses.

He Yunwen didn't expect that something like this would happen right under his nose. He was so angry that he couldn't help but yelled, "Asshole!"

The bearded man cried and begged for mercy, "Sir, I confess everything. That foreign devil Jackson forced me to do this. Please forgive me!"

Fang Muye was filled with rage at this time, and he wished he could kill all the foreigners who were doing evil on this land and burn all the injustices in the world.

"You helped the foreigners to commit such a heinous crime, and yet you still dare to beg for mercy? Go ask those compatriots you have killed if they are willing to forgive you!"

"The dignity of the Chinese people cannot be insulted!"

"As a Chinese, you are colluding with foreigners to kill Chinese people! You are a traitor. Since you have already abandoned your nation and are willing to be a dog, I will send you to see your God."

"Someone, drag him away and chop him up!"
