Space-time SWAT

Chapter 91 Accidents

After nearly half an hour, Xu Boxun was escorted over.He was wearing a maroon robe and mandarin jacket, and the material and tailoring were excellent, which fully demonstrated his status as the young master of a wealthy family.The fake braids on his head had been removed, revealing short black hair that was cut very horizontally. He looked refined and refined, and his clear face was full of bookishness. He didn't look like an assassin at all.

Lu Zhaolin sat in the mahogany chair and gestured to the chair on the other side, "Mr. Xu, please sit down."

Xu Boxun's face was as frosty, and his expression was full of death.Seeing Lu Zhaolin's polite gesture, he smiled coldly, flicked the hem of his robe freely and freely, and sat down in the chair fearlessly.

Lu Zhaolin smiled slightly, and said in a gentle voice, "Mr. Xu wrote a song for the country, and Lu once read it, 'A military song should be sung with a sword ring, vowing to destroy the Hunu and go out of Yuguan. You only need to die on the battlefield for the country, so why return the corpse in a horse leather shroud. "Heroic and tragic, generous and heroic, it is really a good poem."

Xu Bosun heard that he read all the poems he had written word for word, and knew that his true identity must have been exposed.He was fearless, and said in a cold voice: "Since I fell into the hands of the Qing slaves and traitors today, I will die, so there is no need to say more."

Lu Zhaolin shook his head lightly, "'The only one who dies through hardships through the ages, is the only one who rests on his wife when he is sad!' Mr. Xu is a righteous man. Even if it is Lu who is going to assassinate this time, Lu still admires your bravery. Mr. Xu these days Lu has heard about what he has done over the years, and he has been friends with Mr. Xu for a long time. It is a pity that Mr. Xu went to Dongying before, so Lu wanted to make friends but failed. Now it is considered a stranger. Lu There is only one thing that I don’t understand. According to Lu’s knowledge, Mr. Xu hated the Manchus deeply, and he was determined to kill all the Manchus. Lu’s father and son are both Han officials, and they have never bullied the people. plan to regain our rights and interests in China, and drive all the Hulu out of China. Whether it is the Orientals or the Westerners, we have not gained any benefits from us, but have suffered a lot. As for the Manchu court, my father has long been affected by it. Temperance. The Southwest is self-contained, and gradually regains the clothes of the Han people. Mr. Xu is bent on overthrowing the Qing Dynasty, hating foreigners and exterminating religion, which does not conflict with the progressive democratic policy promoted by my father and son. Why did he suddenly come to Spring City this time and assassinate me? ? I, Lu, died, what good is it for you? What good is it for you to recover? What good is it for the Southwest? This question is even more direct to people's hearts, and it is deafening.

Xu Bosun's will was extremely firm, and he was not suppressed by his stern attitude. Instead, the corners of his lips were pursed lightly, showing a sneering smile, "Han official? Your Lu family ancestor entered the customs with the Qing army, and was awarded the first-class uncle for his military exploits. Inherited for five generations and eliminated. How did those military exploits come from? Didn’t it come from the massacre of Han people? Isn’t that a traitor? Besides, your Lu family was carried into the white flag by the Qing emperor as early as 80 years ago. The surname is Lu Jia. Have you left the banner? No. You are still the bannermen, and you are still the nobles of the three banners. You are more hateful than the Manchu dog officials! Even if you die, you will not be able to escape the blame!"

Lu Zhaolin naturally knew the deeds of Lu's ancestors, and now he can't refute them.Although it was said that the ancestors of the Lu family risked their lives to enter the Guandong because they were forced by corrupt officials and cruel officials in the late Ming Dynasty, it is an indisputable fact that they entered the pass with the Qing army and killed many Ming soldiers.As for raising the flag and giving the surname, that is also the truth.

At that time, Emperor Daoguang rectified the administration of officials and reformed the salt law and water transportation, but encountered great resistance.Lu Zhaolin's great-grandfather withstood the pressure and actively promoted reforms in the south of the Yangtze River, but was fiercely resisted by the local big salt merchants and the Cao Gang. The Lu family suffered heavy losses for this, and even two of his first-line brothers died unexpectedly.In the end, the reform was victorious, and Emperor Daoguang felt the loyalty of the Lu family, so he specially issued an imperial edict to carry their whole family into the white flag as a show of gratitude.

Needless to say, the identity of this bannerman was one of the protective umbrellas for Mr. Lu and Lu Haocang to blatantly occupy the Southwest.

Seeing Xu Bosun condemning himself righteously, Lu Zhaolin smiled, "Mr. Xu, what happened more than 300 years ago, who is right and who is wrong, is meaningless to us now. As for raising the flag, it was just Lu A certain great-grandfather risked his life to reform the salt law and water transportation, and even sacrificed the lives of my two great-uncles for this, so he was rewarded. What they did was beneficial to the country and the people, you can’t deny that. China is a In a multi-ethnic country, the Manchus are also part of the country. Even if you overthrow the Manchu Qing court and realize a democratic republic, it is impossible to expel all the Manchus from the country. Therefore, it is not advisable to divide the enemy and us by ethnicity and blood. No matter No matter what nationality or class he is, as long as what he does is for the country and the people, we should accept him. What do you think?"

Xu Boxun is an intellectual, although radical, but he is still an informed and reasonable scholar in essence.It was impossible for him to be a rascal and forcefully deny what Lu Zhaolin said, because from the bottom of his heart, he thought what Lu Zhaolin said was very reasonable.

After slightly lowering his head and thinking for a while, he looked up at Lu Zhaolin and said sadly, "Your father killed Ms. Shi Hua."

Lu Zhaolin understood a little bit, and said in a deep voice: "She was the first to poison my father. It can be said that she almost succeeded, and my father was almost poisoned to death. He is still weak and difficult to manage. A murderer, isn't it Shouldn’t you accept legal sanctions? Or is the democracy you advocate only targeting others, but not restraining yourself?”

Xu Boxun was at a loss for words.

Lu Zhaolin looked at him with burning eyes, "I know, Mr. Xu was in Shanghai the winter before last, and met two gentlemen, Cai Yuanpei and Tao Chengzhang, and became the first members to join the Restoration Society, and soon became members of the Restoration Society. One of the main leaders. After the founding of the Restoration Society, it advocated revolution by means of assassination and riots. After returning to Shaoxing, Mr. Xu, Mr. Gong Weisheng and Mr. Tao Huanqing founded the Datong School, recruiting handsome young men, teaching military affairs, and training The backbone of the revolution. There is a couplet hanging in your school hall, "Ten years of lessons, the king will form an army, trace thousands of years of ancestors and ancestors, and recreate heroes in Yuedi; the revenge of the ninth generation, the righteousness of the Spring and Autumn, may Erduoshi Cultivate scales and raise claws, and don’t forget that bandits and robbers are all over the Central Plains.’ It’s really a good couple, impassioned, and fierce.” Lu Zhaolin praised him, but then his face changed, he was puzzled, and even more aggrieved, “I never understood. During my father’s management of the Southwest, he rejected the great powers from the outside, secured the people inside, supported all industries, developed the economy, lightly paid the tax, and rested with the people. I can say from the bottom of my heart that he is a good official. Your political opinion is not to replace violence with violence. Why do you have to assassinate my father? You killed my father, who is going to succeed the governor of Sichuan? Is he sure to be better than my father? Now that my father has not recovered from the poison, if Lu is killed today If you succeed in the assassination, there will be chaos in the Southwest. How are you going to stabilize the situation? With the flames of war, ordinary people are the most suffering, the most difficult and the most dangerous. Displaced and their families destroyed, is this the revolution you want? You are worthy of doing this and looking forward to a better life People in the Southwest?" He was justified and justified, and his arrogance soared to the sky, making it hard to resist.

Xu Boxun's complexion changed several times, which was extremely complicated.After a while, he closed his eyes dejectedly, covering up the sudden feeling of bewilderment and guilt.
