The mage in the late Qing Dynasty

For Takeru Nakamura: The sky is falling.

As far as the supervisor is concerned: a meritorious service has been achieved.

Among the monitors, the rebellious Hideo Mizusawa said: "I advise you not to act rashly."

"Why?"

"If you provide false intelligence, all of us will be punished."

"Then how to report it?"

Mizusawa Hideo thought for a while: "Let's just say - Zhao Chuanxin is suspected of being injured."

On the other side, Zhao Chuanxin walked slowly while holding the stone tower.

Peter Grabbin stepped forward diligently: "Sir, let me help you. When you recover, we can make a movie."

Zhao Chuanxin asked him to help him go upstairs.

Soon, what he saw and heard here was compiled into a book and passed to Songping Kunyang.

Telegrams are expensive, and even if you send official documents, they cannot be lengthy.

Songping Kunyang was equally cautious and reduced the telegram to one sentence: Zhao Chuanxin may have been seriously injured and walked away holding on to the wall. It is difficult to distinguish the hypocrisy.

Japanese intelligence officers are good at making connections out of complicated information.

Since receiving official support, Aoki Nobuzumi has wider channels for collecting intelligence.

He received a report from the Kwantung Department Affairs Officer about Zhao Chuanxin's stay in Changchun Mansion, and also received a report from Sakhalin Songping in Kunyang.

Referring to the two aspects, Aoki Xuanzhun rubbed his chin: "Did Zhao Chuanxin get injured accidentally when he went on a killing spree in Changchun Mansion?"

…

Earlier, Zhao Chuanxin plowed the South Manchuria Railway Guard Team on the South Manchuria Railway line from Huaide County to Tieling.

Nowadays, the Changchun Prefecture is being plowed and the cavities are being plowed, and almost all the ruling institutions that Japan has worked so hard to build in Changchun Prefecture have been destroyed.

"Shengjing Times" said: Consul General Ogiwara Moriichi received the news of the death of Consul Kaname Shibata and was extremely sad. It is said that the building of the consulate in Changchun Prefecture was very narrow, but it was rented out and renovated to build a new office. However, Zhao Chuanxin was so moody that he killed him. Even the Japanese police, consular officers, Manchuria Railway Office, Mitsui \u0026 Yoko Co., etc. were killed. More than a hundred people. This act is outraged by both humans and gods...

"Shengjing Times" was founded after the Russo-Japanese War, and its founder was Japanese Masao Nakajima.

This newspaper is crooked from the buttocks.

So I praised Shibata Kaijiro lavishly at that time.

It is not surprising that the Shengjing Times has published another article in which Ogiwara Shoichi denounced Zhao Chuanxin.

However, "Jilin Vernacular News" said: Chaita is the representative of the consuls stationed in Jilin and Changchun. He is accustomed to spying on intelligence and infiltrating local areas, interfering more in the development of Changchun commercial port, and favoring the Japanese to oppress and plunder the local area. Zhao Chuanxin was angry and killed him. The left and right sides of Kuanchengzi Station were stained with blood, and the people were happy for a while...

Rich people subscribe to newspapers for a year.

Ordinary scholars do not have enough money to support them in buying newspapers every day, so they can only read newspapers.

Whenever newspapers have records related to Zhao Chuanxin, they always sell well. The reason is that in restaurants and tea shops, customers like storytellers to talk about Zhao Chuanxin.

"Damn it, the newspapers in the world are full of filthy stories. They either have to accept humiliation or stick their faces out when they get beaten."

"Only this Zhao Chuanxin is different, I am happy to hear him."

"If you ask me, Zhao Chuanxin killed well!"

The first day was still reporting in real time.

By the next day, the newspapers were full of discussions, commentaries, and talks about the matter.

Constitutionalists, reformists, and conservatives all came on stage.

The people were not thinking at all, but after analysis by these people, they realized that Zhao Chuanxin's killing this time was completely different from the past.

Why?

Earlier this year, Zhao Chuanxin started from Fengtianwai on the South Manchuria Railway, passed through Tieling, and reached near Huaide County.

After that, Zhao Chuanxin and the Americans built a railway from Hebei to Lubinfu through the grassland.

This is equivalent to inserting a force behind the Japanese-Russian carve-up.

There is a new railway outside the Manchuria Railway.

At this time, Zhao Chuanxin's intention to kill all the Japanese ruling institutions in Changchun Mansion was already obvious.

So some people vowed: Zhao Chuanxin will go to war with the Japanese.

…

Tokyo is very hot.

Roasted by fire.

Because of the continuous explosions, fires, and a series of robberies and murders.

Among these incidents, the one worthy of newspaper coverage was that the Hibiya Courthouse was bombed, with a line written on the wall: Those who bombed the courthouse are against Zhaoshe!

Isotani Rensuke immediately became furious: "I want to find the framer, and I swear to kill him."

Because Makino Nobuhan came to question them immediately.

Good guy, he has just been officially recognized and he has made such a big mistake.

Nobuzumi Aoki frowned: "Report it to the police and let the police investigate. It was not our fault anyway."

Isotani Rensuke said angrily: "The Tokyo police are famous for not doing anything, they just know how to make things easy. No fault is a merit!"

"Baron Makino represents the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The Ministry of Internal Affairs has already criticized us a lot, so we should not add to the chaos at this time."

Isotani Rensuke said nothing.

The two broke up unhappy.

This is the norm.

After Isotani Rensuke went out, he summoned several confidants: "President Aoki objects to our private investigation, but I want to find out the framer."

In the past few days, many new members have been recruiting troops, eager to make meritorious deeds, and all three religions and nine schools have joined the battle.

Don't tell me, someone soon gave Isotani Rensuke a list of suspects, which was much more efficient than the police.

The first person on the list is a man named Guang Jinwai, who is said to be a little obese.

Isotani Rensuke was very impetuous and immediately pointed to the first person on the list: "I will personally lead people to check him first, and the others will check later."

He took two of them and left in a furious manner, leaving the others with their own tasks.

Near the Meiji Government Office, there was a burned-out and blackened wooden house that had been abandoned for a long time.

But recently, neighbors often see three men coming and going.

One is fat, the other is thin, and there is another person who looks angry every day, as if everyone owes him two ounces of money.

Isotani Rensuke led people through the demolished old city gate of Mitsuke and came to the address number one on the suspect list.

He was wearing a top hat, coat, leather shoes, and held a bat umbrella in his hand.

This bat umbrella is an old item from the Edo period. Nowadays, Western-style wear is popular with old-style accessories. The umbrella handle is also engraved with Isotani Rensuke's name.

This rather bourgeois look has become very popular in Tokyo in recent years.

When Isotani Rensuke was on his way in a hurry, he saw the old city gate that had been knocked down, and he did not forget to sarcastically say: "Destroy ancient monuments and vilify the times. This is what modern people do."

The subordinates quickly agreed: "Yes, yes, the Edo period is more flavorful. I really miss the past."

When the three of them arrived at the wooden house, it was already dark, and they saw three figures hurriedly coming out.

Because it is an investigation, not an arrest.

After all, Isotani Rensuke does not have the power to arrest criminals.

But he secretly made up his mind that once he got the handle, he would kill these three bold and arrogant people on the spot even if he offended Nobuhe Makino.

His subordinates asked Isotani Rensuke: "Sir, how did these three people get on the suspect list?"

Isotani Rensuke shook his bat umbrella: "Some people claimed that four people wanted to rob a grocery store in the middle of the night, but were later stopped by a warrior. Two of them ran away, and the other two held a grudge. It may have happened several times recently. Although the explosion is related to them, it must be investigated clearly."

"They went to the government hall."

"Are they going to blow up the City Hall?"

Isotani Rensuke's heart moved: "Let's go, let's follow quietly."

The three of them took advantage of the night and hung close to each other.

They found the three men wandering around the government hall, observing and sneaking around.

These three people are as described in the list of suspects. One is fat, one is thin, and the other looks like a wronged person.

The big enemy was carrying a bulging bag and looked like he had come from the countryside.

Isotani Rensuke looked solemn: "Based on my experience, these three people are indeed very suspicious. The fat and thin two seem to be locals in Tokyo. The other one always has a worried and angry look on his face, more like an outsider. This Don’t you think it’s strange to have a trio?”

His two men really didn't think there was anything weird.

But all I could say at this point was: "Yeah, it's so weird."

"Yes, I think they are criminals even if they are not framers."

Isotani Rensuke seemed to be encouraged and turned his head more flexibly: "You see, normally, this trio should be dominated by one of the fat and thin ones. After all, they are locals. But it is obvious that there is a smile on their face. The angry ones are the leaders.”

The two men were reminded and they saw some clues: "Sir, you are absolutely right."

Isotani Rensuke followed the three people around until midnight. The two men's attention had long been attracted by the geisha leaning on the window and looking at the flowing water, and the small vendors packing lanterns by the river.

Until Isotani Rensuke reminded: "They are separated, hurry up, catch up."

The two men woke up from a dream and hurriedly followed.

Isotani Rensuke asked two of his men to stop him at the marble steps of the government hall, and he himself came to the side.

Over there, Miyashita Taiyoshi said to the fat and thin duo: "Let's act separately and call each other by nicknames. I don't know who you are and what you are. Remember."

"Hai."

Isotani Rensuke came to the side of the government hall.

I saw a vague and thin figure moving in the darkness.

His heart tightened. It was too late to retreat at this time, so he simply acted to scare the snake.

He asked coldly: "Who?"

I heard someone say in the darkness: "Yes, it's me."

Isotani Rensuke was confused: "I asked you who you are?"

"I told you, it's me. What?"

Isotani Rensuke was even more confused: "What?"

"Who am I, come here quickly."

Isotani Rensuke felt that he might have found the wrong person.

Those three people, maybe three mentally retarded people, wandered around blindly in the middle of the night.

He said angrily: "How do I know who you are?"

"Who am I! Do you still need to ask?"

"Baga!" Isotani Rensuke was already agitated, but the other party said even more angrily: "Who are you?"

At this time, a figure appeared behind him: "I don't know?"

Isotani Rensuke was startled, turned sideways and looked back, and could probably see a fat black figure.

He put his hand on his lower back and said warily: "What?"

The fat figure said: "Yes, what."

"What did you say?" Isotani Rensuke felt that his brain was not big enough.

The fat figure asked doubtfully: "I don't know?"

Isotani Rensuke slowly leaned against the wall and said angrily: "Who are you?"

The fat black shadow said: "Who is over there?"

The thinner shadow said, "Yes, who am I."

"..." Isotani Rensuke was at a loss: "What are you talking about?"

The fat figure said: "What's wrong with me?"

"..."

Isotani Ren said heartily: What happened to this world? Did I suffer from some kind of brain disease, causing something to go wrong in the area of ​​my brain that controls language?

At this time, a dark shadow appeared: "Who? What? Are you ready?"

Isoya Rensuke was in self-doubt and said in confusion: "I don't know."

Then the black shadow said: "Yes, it's me."

Isotani Rensuke: "..."

The fat black shadow said: "Who is over there? They are ready."

The thin shadow said: "What, I don't know, who am I, but who is the other person?"

Isotani Rensuke's mind was buzzing: "Who are you?"

The thin shadow said: "Who am I? Are you?"

Of course, Isotani Rensuke couldn't declare his family status. He shook his head: "I don't know."

The latecomer said: "I don't know, who are you?"

Isoya Rensuke collapsed, and his heart was filled with anger: "I am fucking Isotani Rensuke, who are you three?"

The shadow who came after him seemed to be stunned, and then shouted: "Who, what, catch him."

Bang!

Gunshots fired.

In extreme panic, Isotani Rensuke took out the gun issued by the military and opened fire.

It's just that the shooting technique was too fashionable and he missed the target in the dark.

The two black figures, fat and thin, were frightened when they heard the gunfire.

But the latecomer, the shadow, was not afraid, and rushed forward with a roar, knocking him down before Rensuke Isotani could fire his second shot.

The two dark figures, fat and thin, were greatly encouraged and stepped forward to suppress the man together.

"Boss is so brave, and he has really achieved great things!"

The latecomer, the shadow, angrily yelled: "Call me a nickname."

"I didn't know that he was so brave that he actually achieved great things."

"You've said it fucking once, don't repeat it."

"Uh...okay."

Isotani Rensuke struggled violently: "Who the hell are you? Let me go."

"Haha, I am indeed who I am, but I can't let you go." The thin figure punched him in the face.

Isotani Rensuke: "..."

At this time, two of Isotani Rensuke's men heard gunshots in front of the marble steps and hurried over.

They raised their guns and pointed them at the dark place: "Who? Who is there?"

The thin black shadow was stunned: "I'm here. Wait...Old...I don't know, you found other helpers?"

Naturally, Miyashita Taiji had no other helpers. He shouted: "What, who? Run quickly."

These three people are none other than Miyashita Taiyoshi, the fat man Hiroshi Gai, and the thin man Utagawa Masanobu.

Isotani Rensuke shouted: "Be careful, they took my gun."

Miyashita Taiyoshi shot in the back.

Bang, bang.

After two shots, he took Hiroshi Gai and Utagawa Masanobu and escaped over the wall behind the government hall.

Isotani Rensuke's hands and feet were limp.

He was very aggressive before he came, but he experienced nightmarish self-doubt, and was mentally and physically exhausted after Hao Xuan was killed and silenced by them.

He said weakly: "They left the bag, open it quickly and see what's inside."

The two hands swiped and pulled, making a round and rumbling sound, but it was too dark to see clearly.

"Strike a match and watch."

One person struck a match and moved closer to the bag.

laugh……

"What's going on?"

Isotani Rensuke: "..."

"You lit the fucking fuse, idiots!"

His hands and feet were originally sore, but now he had strength again and was rolling and crawling.

Two of his men were not so lucky.

boom!

Taiyoshi Miyashita, who was escaping over the wall, heard the explosion and stamped his feet: "These three people are really awesome. Since they also want to blow up the government hall, why didn't they tell them earlier? I was so scared that I ran in the cold and sweated! Let's go, go back, all If you are a like-minded person, don’t be afraid. Just talk and clear up the misunderstanding.”

"That's what the boss said."

If the boss saved that person just like he saved them, that person must be filled with gratitude.

"I told you, I call you nicknames outside."

"I don't know what to say."

"Don't fucking repeat yourself."

"Ha Yi, listen to the boss."

"..."

Isotani Rensuke was completely paralyzed this time, especially when he saw his two dying men being blown into gourds of blood. They were crawling on the ground miserably in the middle of the night, still muttering feebly: "Sir, save, save me. …”

"Ah..." Isotani Rensuke was so frightened that he supported his body with his hands and crawled backwards.

As soon as he saw the light of the gas lamp and felt a little calmer, he saw three black figures emerging from the darkness.

Miyashita Taiyoshi passed by the dying man who was bombed and sighed: "You are still ruthless. You actually ignored your own safety in order to blow up the government hall. I admire you!"

Isoya Rensuke's eyes widened as he was dragged into the darkness by the three of them.

"Don't be afraid, once you enter the organization, you don't have to worry, we will protect you.

We are all comrades! "

Isotani Rensuke: "..."

Miyashita Taiji and three others brought Isotani Rensuke back to the cabin.

Along the way, Isotani Rensuke was silent.

When he arrived, he looked at the simple wooden house. It had only four walls and only a small wooden table. On it were gunpowder, fuses and a metal cylinder hooped by the iron layer of the can box.

Miyashita Taiyoshi thought he was interested and said: "'What' is a craftsman? He made these two kicks."

Utagawa Masanobu was not to be outdone: "I made the fuse, and it burns very fast. Haha, it's all craftsmanship. I don't need your praise."

Isotani Rensuke recalled the scene when two of his men struck a match and it exploded almost immediately.

He said in his heart: I praise your mother, and I praise your mother next door!

Miyashita Taiyoshi came to Isotani Rensuke, knelt down, and said solemnly: "Since your goal is to blow up the government office, you should have said it earlier. We are all fighting for this country, and we are all working for the common people. We should have said it earlier. It will not cause misunderstanding. To be honest, I admire you for sacrificing your life for the sake of bombing the government office! Join us in the anti-Zhao Society, we need warriors like you."

With that said, he knelt down and bowed to Isotani Rensuke.

Isotani Rensuke's heart tightened.

He frowned and asked tentatively: "What are you doing against Zhao Society?"

Just when the fat man Guang Jingai was about to speak, he was glared at by Miyashita Taiyoshi. Miyashita Taiyoshi said: "We are all for the good of this country like you. You just need to know that we are all for this country and for the people." good."

Isotani Rensuke wanted to talk more, so he suppressed the anger and murderous intention in his heart: "You are very brave."

"We have put life and death aside for a long time." Utagawa Masanobu said proudly, and then got discouraged: "But we can't catch up with you, you really dare to die."

"..." Isotani Rensuke wanted to scold me again, but he immediately thought of one thing: "Oops!"

Miyashita Taiji asked with concern: "What's wrong?"

Isotani Rensuke's expression changed drastically: "My umbrella fell there."

"Umbrella?" Guang Jinwai said disdainfully: "What's so rare about an umbrella? We bombed several grocery stores and there are all kinds of umbrellas. You can pick whatever you want. You're welcome. Don't look at it. We don't have anything in this room. In fact, they are all piled up. It’s in the back.”

"Baga!" Isotani Rensuke was really anxious: "My name is engraved on my umbrella."

When the police found his umbrella, saw the corpses of his men, and added that he was missing, it was really a pile of yellow mud, and it was either shit or shit.

Isotani Rensuke wants to cry but has no tears.

However, Miyashita Taiyoshi felt happy: This is called surrendering. If he has no way out, he will follow us wholeheartedly!

…

The wound Xingyue made on Zhao Chuanxin's back healed quickly based on his physique.

This brand on bones, similar to the Old God's Crucible Brand and the Wind God's Brand, can also be powered by the Old Sacred Fire.

The old sacred fire is not a fire, but a huge energy body.

However, Zhao Chuanxin jumped in the stone tower: "This can only offset 10 kilograms of weight at most. Am I not suffering in vain?"

Xingyue said: "This requires practice, and the reaction rune pathways will slowly spread on your bones."

"How long will it take?"

"It's not recorded in the book, so just practice."

Zhao Chuanxin jumped up and down in the room.

Downstairs secretary Shirasaka Nomi said to herself in confusion: "Is there another earthquake in Sakhalin?"

Zhao Chuanxin suddenly remembered something: "That bitch Miyashita Taiji, I gave him the copper eye, but he didn't use it even once. I don't know if he was caught by the little devil police."

Xingyue said: "No, his life was much more exciting than yours."

Zhao Chuanxin jumped and said, "I exposed my flaw on purpose. Why don't you kid and Maozi take action?"

Xingyue said: "You followed the example of the great powers and slowly encroached on Manchuria. I guess the Japanese are not stupid either. They have become vigilant and will not give you any excuse. You can't provoke a war for no reason."

"You still don't understand people's hearts. Just like me, revenge never lasts overnight. The little devil may be a little patient, but it won't last long. As for Maozi, they are all stupid."

Xingyue said meaningfully: "Maybe there are some internal problems among the Japanese, and they can't take care of you for the time being."

Zhao Chuanxin jumped impatiently and stopped and said: "Where did Neng Chengwen and Boyarkov die? Why haven't they come back? If they don't come back, how can I leave?"

At this time, Nomi Shirasaka knocked on the door: "Sir, Noh-sama and Boyarkov are back."
