Chapter Fifty-seven: Man makes things happen, and heaven makes things happen
It was getting late, so Jiang Li did not walk with Huang Feihong. The two separated at a fork in the road. After that, Huang Feihong walked towards Baozhilin alone.
Now that he is innocent, the sealed Bao Zhilin will naturally be unsealed.
Soon, Bao Zhilin was looking at him. Huang Feihong's heart sank and he walked over.
Not unlike the laughter and playfulness of Bao Zhilin at this time, on the road two days away from Bao Zhilin, Jiang Li looked at the unremarkable middle-aged man in front of him with an indifferent expression.
"Tell me, why are you following us all the time?" Jiang Li said calmly as he looked at the opponent as if he was facing a formidable enemy.
"You are wrong, I am not with you, I want to go home," Lu Haodong's throat rolled, and he pretended to be calm and said.
"Stop pretending, it's boring. I found you in front of the Guangzhou government office." Jiang Li said,
"Are you a Revolutionary Party, Boxer Boxer, or White Lotus Sect? Are you here to repay a favor or take revenge? Tell me." Jiang Li looked at him expressionlessly, and his indifferent eyes put great pressure on Lu Haodong.
"I..." Lu Haodong's face turned pale and he involuntarily took half a step back.
"I hope you won't lie. This is not good for us." Jiang Li raised his eyebrows and said coldly.
"I, I am repaying the favor." Lu Haodong gritted his teeth, looked around and whispered.
really.
Jiang Li sighed in his heart.
"That's all, come with me." Jiang Li looked at Lu Haodong, turned around and walked towards Jiang Mansion.
Lu Haodong struggled for a moment, and found out helplessly that he seemed to have no way to escape, so he could only follow Jiang Li obediently and walked into the Jiang Mansion.
"Sit down." Jiang Li led Lu Haodong into the back hall, waved away a group of attendants, and the two sat down.
Jiang Li picked up the teapot, poured two cups of tea, handed one to Lu Haodong, and remained silent for a while.
The atmosphere in the hall gradually solidified. Jiang Li sat in his seat with a calm expression and said nothing. However, Lu Haodong was restless and nervous, for fear that he would suddenly think of a shout of "grab him" from behind. After a while, his
My back was soaked with sweat.
After a long time, Jiang Li slowly spoke.
"You should know the situation of the Revolutionary Party better than I do. Let him let go of what happened the day before yesterday. Feihong is weak and weak. You have too much contact with him and you will kill him sooner or later."
Hearing this, Lu Haodong breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
"I have no intention of contacting him, but I am just worried about his safety, so I have been watching outside the Guangzhou government office to make sure that he is safe and sound, and I feel relieved." Lu Haodong said quickly.
Jiang Li nodded slowly, took a sip of tea, and then said something,
"Lu Haodong, although you are not as rich as our four major chambers of commerce in Guangdong, you are still at the upper-middle level. Why do you want to join the Revolutionary Party instead of living a good life? Don't you think about the consequences? Once your identity is exposed, your
My family and tribe will all die because of you."
Hearing this, Lu Haodong chuckled and shook his head, "Don't worry so much when doing things, because the more you think about it, the more worried you will be. Worry will come and go, and nothing will be accomplished in the end."
"I never thought about joining the revolutionary party at first. Later, when I got to know Mr. Sun, I slowly understood that people are born to live, and the ultimate goal is death. Sometimes life and death are very close, and sometimes they are very far away.
, and this distance is life.”
"We can't decide other people's attitude towards life, but we can decide our own life. Inactivity is also a life, vigorous life is also a life, and ordinary life is also a life. In this case, why can't I live a vigorous life?"
"Besides, what we are going to do now is a very valuable and pursuitable thing. Even if we bleed and die for it, I won't have any complaints."
Sitting in his seat, Lu Haodong looked passionate and spoke with surging tone, talking to Jiang Li eloquently, as if he was doing the most sacred thing in the world.
He looked at Jiang Li with burning eyes and almost shouted: President Jiang, join us.
Jiang Li coughed twice and was too embarrassed to interrupt him. He just sat in his seat and listened to Lu Haodong's speech with a calm expression.
Perhaps it is because he is a modern person and cannot understand the thoughts of people in this era, or perhaps because of some other reasons, he does not want to get involved.
No matter how Lu Haodong complained, Jiang Li always remained calm and showed no emotion on his face, which made him extremely discouraged.
This was different from what was written in the script. He remembered that he used to follow Mr. Sun and watch him talk loudly and talk about the cause of the Revolutionary Party. The others were all excited and wanted to join in right away. How did they get to him?
Is it different?
After a long time, when he finished speaking what was in his heart, he finally stopped.
"Are you done?" The hall suddenly became quiet, and Jiang Li, who had always lowered his eyebrows, suddenly raised his head and said.
"Yeah." Lu Haodong nodded in confusion.
"Okay, that's it. This time the matter is over. You don't want to go to Feihong anymore. If you have any difficulties, you can come to me." Jiang Li was granted amnesty and stood up to see off the guests.
"Then, I'll take my leave." Lu Haodong smiled bitterly, turned around and walked out.
"Oh, these people are so eloquent." Jiang Li shook his head.
Suddenly, a figure walked into the hall. Jiang Li raised his head and found that Lu Haodong had left and returned.
"Mr. Jiang, I almost forgot the letter that Mr. Sun asked me to hand over to you." Lu Haodong took out a letter from his body and handed it to Jiang Li.
"Sun Wen? He wrote to me?" Jiang Li was extremely surprised. He and Sun Wen had never met before. How did the other party know about him?
Looking at Lu Haodong who was motionless in the hall, Jiang Li's heart moved. Whatever he forgot to give was an excuse. I'm afraid the other party was worried that he hated the revolutionary party, so he had to test his attitude first and give in before deciding.
Don't take out this letter.
It is indeed cautious enough.
Jiang Li glanced at Lu Haodong, opened the envelope, took out the letter, and read it.
"Mr. Jiang, Su Wen..." Sun Wen is indeed Sun Wen. There are thousands of words in the letter without any nonsense. He first expressed his gratitude to Huang Feihong for sacrificing his life to save him the day before yesterday, and then talked about military and national affairs, domestic and foreign affairs.
situation, his own ardent expectations and prospects for the nation.
There are even a few words in it that Jiang Li is very familiar with: freedom, democracy, equality and rule of law... Sun Wen also spent a lot of words in the letter to express his admiration for Jiang Li.
The tree of history was about to grow crooked, and Jiang Li had a vague premonition in his heart.
There was not a single sentence in the letter that hoped Jiang Li could join the Revolutionary Party, but there was persuasion everywhere. Reading the whole letter gave Jiang Li the urge to change his mind.
"It's really amazing." Jiang Li slowly closed the letter and sighed in his heart. No wonder Sun Wen would be called a great man. Not to mention his ability, just his touching words surpassed most people.
After a long silence, Jiang Li suddenly smiled softly, forget it, his arrival represents a change anyway, in this case, let's make this change more intense.
He walked to the side hall, spread out a piece of paper, and slowly wrote a few lines of words. If future generations saw it, they would be extremely familiar with it. Aren't they the same twenty-four words that are often spoken?
Freedom, equality, justice and the rule of law... In addition, there is a single big character: Bing, and a clenched fist. Finally, there is a well-known name: Zhu Yuanzhang.
Jiang Li put the letter paper in an envelope and handed it to Lu Haodong.
"Take him away. My character is not suitable for joining you. However, if you need anything in the future, you can come to the Sihai Chamber of Commerce. I will never refuse if I can help," Jiang Li said.
"Oh, okay." Lu Haodong sighed silently, put the envelope on his body, clasped his fists at Jiang Li, and slowly backed away.
Looking at his retreating figure, Jiang Li sighed faintly, "It's up to people to make things happen, but it's up to God to make things happen. That's all he can do."
If those words were placed in the hands of ordinary people, they would probably be worthless, but Jiang Li believed that Sun Wen, who can be called one of the greatest people in China in the 20th century, would definitely be able to understand the meaning he conveyed. This is enough
