Liu Zhiqiang endured the hunger in his stomach and looked at the old and crude case. He could not help but feel intoxicated. Seeing those three court officials, Old Qin San would occasionally say, "Three lords, do you think so?" It was filled with the helplessness and sorrow of life, causing people to constantly grow strong, while that coarse old man would occasionally use twisted logic to interrogate the criminals, it was no wonder that these people liked it, and it was rather interesting. Just as he was about to get down, he heard a person from the crowd nearby whisper to another person, "Sir, although this person is a bit frivolous, he is still decisive, impartial, and truly has the heart of a loyal citizen."

If it wasn't for Liu Zhiqiang who had an extremely strong sense of hearing, he wouldn't have heard such a whisper from the crowd. Liu Zhiqiang was shocked. He looked towards the source of the sound. It was a black mass of heads with white hair. Liu Zhiqiang used the method of elimination, looking for two men or more who were closer to each other, and then screened them out. He thought to himself: Lord, this name is definitely not a mistake, is it in Cheng Village, I forgot that there are some important people who haven't been arrested, could it be the factory official and the Imperial Secret Service?

Liu Zhiqiang waited for half an hour before the second sentence, which was similar to what these people were discussing, came. The same voice was very low, "However, although this person loves his people, he has no eyes at all.

"Yes! My lord, Lord Xiong has just recruited a group of pirates who have committed many evil deeds. Could it be that you want to recruit these bandits as well? "

After these two lines of conversation, Liu Zhiqiang finally found the two people who were talking. Walking closer, he saw that they were two farmers, one was an old man with white hair, his face was extremely pale, and his black hair was bare feet. He was supporting the old man.

When Liu Zhiqiang got closer, he was already pushed to the other side by a few farmers.

After the time it took to make a cup of tea, the old man suddenly said, "Let's go back!"

Liu Zhiqiang saw the farmers who had squeezed him out of the circle leave slowly and encircle the old man and the middle-aged farmer in the middle.

When Liu Zhiqiang reached a certain distance away, he discovered that there were more than ten farmers guarding the old man.

Liu Zhiqiang pretended to be an innocent child and followed him. Liu Zhiqiang could only laugh and cry as he did not expect his identity as a child could be used in this way.

It was noon, but there were still some soldiers from the Sky Valve Army coming out to buy snacks and gifts on the streets. There were also hawkers telling the soldiers about when the Sky Valve Army could recruit soldiers, how my child's strength was good, or how my child was so well-behaved. The soldiers' consumption had promoted the feeling between the military and the citizens, while also spurring the economic growth of Cheng Village (just like the economic model of the modern oil empire).

Liu Zhiqiang followed this group of people to a street that was used for the relief of refugees from the north. Although most of these refugees could line up on their own, but there was a special person who always wanted to cut in line, and in the end, the Heavenly Valve Army always wanted to discipline these people and bring them back to their original positions, and some of the newcomers wanted to get their hands on porridge and sweet potatoes after entering the group, but they did not manage to do much, and they were already forced to the ground after being tied up. There were even some refugee women who pulled on ropes, Liu Zhiqiang wanted to know where this group of people was, but he also wanted to know who this old man was.

The old man looked at the chaos, then at a farmhouse that was pretending to buy fabric from afar. The farmer nodded and followed the group of refugees.

Liu Zhiqiang followed them to a small farmhouse with only three farmers and the old man. The other farmers either hid themselves in the teahouse, or sold their goods outside the small yard, or directly stood in the middle of the group of refugees. Liu Zhiqiang had no choice but to enter an alley closest to the side of the small yard. Fortunately, he was a child, otherwise, a farmer would have kicked him out just now.

He heard the sound of the gate opening, and he quickly entered the house. The person who entered said: "Sir, those refugees were tied up for interrogation at the entrance of the county magistrate court, and after the interrogation, they were beaten ten times each, which is true. Later on, the magistrate gave them a bowl of porridge and some unknown fruits, and I went up to ask them why, and one of them, who was from the same village as me, told me that this is the fastest way to get food, and at the same time, told me that if they waited for the recruitment examination three days later, they would have countless benefits. Even his subordinate, the old fellow villager, would treat his subordinate with hostility.

After the old man heard this, he flew into a rage and lightly tapped the table (his body was not good enough to repeat this), "Insolent villains who do not follow the righteous path, this bandit is really bold! He treats the law as if it were nothing, collects grain, secretly recruits troops, and gathers people's hearts. If you want to learn from Zheng Chilong, you don't have the ability. If I hadn't discovered that a large number of grain refugees were gathering in this place, I wouldn't have noticed. I want to go up to the heavens and listen. Please send troops to the court to eliminate this kind of evil thief. If I don't eliminate this thief, when I reach Yufeng, it will sweep all the way to the south.

Liu Zhiqiang was surprised: This old man wants to play with me. Didn't this old man Chong Zhen want to do it with Li Zi Cheng and Zhang Dazhong? How can you find me like this?

Just as Liu Zhiqiang was panicking, the sound of hooves could be heard. Two people rushed into the yard.

After a while, a man spoke up in a low voice, "My lord, there was a broken chapter coming from the southwest road of Fujian, because my lord's Dao Pillar had temporarily relocated here, this chapter was to be sent to the Guangzhou Prefecture Yamen. I was unintentionally intercepted at the Pingyuan County Inn Station, knowing that my lord should investigate the government officials in Chengxiang, so I sent it to my lord's Dao Pillar. Brother Deng, this is the Lord Governor of the two provinces.

Another voice rang out, "Your excellency, it is not that this lowly one is worried. Since your lordship is magnanimous, forgive him."

After a while, the voice continued, "This subordinate pays his respects to the Taoist-master. As this subordinate does have something important to do, I am not wearing any official uniform. Please forgive me."

The old man's voice rang out, "Stand up and speak. Take a look at the path ahead of you on the southwest road."

After a while, the old man said, "This, this, why is this Zheng Youjiu here? What happened? Hurry up and answer him."

The Fujian soldier answered: "Sir, there are two chapters you have read, one is written by Sir Xiong and the other is written by Zheng Raiding, Zheng Raiding may not even come here, he only said that he knew that Sir Xiong had infiltrated several pirates along the Northeast Road of Guangdong Province in recent years, working with mountain bandits to disrupt the local peace, the people are not comfortable, and he also saw that the Northeast of Guangdong Province is relaxed and is powerless to fight back, this official asks you to be good at crime, sending troops to the Northeast of Guangdong Province to exterminate the pirates and the traitors, to remove the traitors from the country." He paused for a moment and then continued, "Actually, what Lord Xiong wanted me to tell you is that Zheng Youjiu probably won't come. He might be his younger brother, and he isn't even here to kill the bandits.

The old man continued, "How so? Point, just nice, I can use this Zheng's hand of guerrilla warfare to eliminate the headache-inducing bandits, but at the same time, I can also weaken Zheng's guerrilla warfare … "I'm afraid that this bandit is going to perish in the blink of an eye. It's just a drop in the bucket, and he's already suffering so much because he doesn't listen to orders … Alright, I'll do my best to facilitate this matter. Ahem, this is something that the imperial court would like to see."

"Words and words, grinder the ink. I want this matter to be listened to by the heavens and by the heart of the gods."

After waiting for a long time, Liu Zhiqiang left at a fast speed. He was about to leave when he felt someone pat him on his shoulder. He moved aside and said: "Child, what are you doing here? Do you have something to play?"

Liu Zhiqiang turned around and spoke in an ancient language, "Why not? We're just looking for ants to play with." Take a look at the wall to see if there are any ants. Grab them to prove it. Unfortunately, this ant wasn't the one that you wanted to get out. Then, it will come out obediently.

The person was startled. He didn't think that the lips and teeth boy would be so good at speaking. He was also not as good as him. He had doubts in his heart and was about to ask again.

The child said, "Uncle, my mother has called me back. I will be leaving first." With that, he skipped away innocently.

That person looked and thought: It seems that I was overthinking it! This might just be a Northern refugee's child, oh, right, I still have to help Brother Song send some news, to collect money and get people into trouble, this money isn't easy to take, not to mention the two of us have to give it to him for free. If it wasn't for the people at the gambling house forcing us to do this, we wouldn't have done such a despicable thing.

Liu Zhiqiang walked around the street a few times, seeing that no one was following him, he went back to his temporary office. When he passed by the courthouse garden, he heard a soldier reporting that Minister Chen and Instructor Xia (Liu Zhiqiang had sent a team of Heavenly Valve Army personnel to Master Xia) had been imitated, so Liu Zhiqiang told him to go tell them that I was back.

He sat on the high chair in the yamen's office and thought to himself, "Didn't I tell Chen Ziwen to set up spies in the post office?" How did this chapter end up in Wang Zunde's hands? Since Liu Zhiqiang's goal was overseas, Fujian and Taiwan were of the highest importance. He had already entered Fujian when Li was the head of intelligence, and Chen Ziwen had gone to Fujian in the name of a businessman several times for nearly three months after taking over. Now it was time for him to come over and ask how the plans were going to go, Liu Zhiqiang was a spy to Chen Ziwen and Li Benyi, and had also given him great financial resources, manpower, and manpower.

What worried Liu Zhiqiang the most wasn't the strength of Zheng, but the fact that the guns in the weapons factory today had no absolute advantage at all (this was because he had made the modern army into his imaginary enemies and had severely underestimated the technology he was currently holding, whether it was a horse or a mule, he could easily get away with it easily), moreover, it was easy to blow up the gun, not to mention the fact that the qualified rate was even worse. Until now, Liu Zhiqiang had only assembled a total of more than 580 guns without a barrel that could be fired continuously.
