What a bunch of guys who run wild when they succeed!
Lei Hu returned to the Lingnan Guild Hall expressionlessly, but he was in a very unhappy mood. He wanted to blow Kang Liang's proud face to pieces.
It is said that Tan Sitong suddenly came to visit, and it turned out that he was invited to participate in the internal meeting of the reformists. He probably wanted Lei Hu to see the vitality of the reformers, so as to draw him into it.
Lei Hu was indispensable. He happened to be free but couldn't match Tan Sitong's enthusiasm, so he went to the stronghold of the reformers and participated in their internal gatherings as a non-staff member.
As a result, he, a warrior, enjoyed the baptism of saliva from the scholars. Except for Tan Sitong, no reformer took him seriously.
This situation embarrassed Tan Sitong, who was in a hurry. Fortunately, Lei Hu didn't care, otherwise they wouldn't even be friends.
This was the time when the Reform Movement was at its most prosperous, and its momentum was unparalleled. Emperor Guangxu, as the biggest boss, gradually took control of part of the political power, and local people responded to it, especially in Shilin.
Under such circumstances, Kang Liang, as the actual leader of the reformists, was so complacent that he could not listen to any different voices.
Lei Hu, a non-staff person, was particularly eye-catching. Tan Sitong had introduced them to Lei Hu before, and Lei Hu had a different understanding of the reform reforms, which had long made the two of them unhappy.
When he saw Lei Hu himself, his disdain and contempt for the martial artist was almost reflected on his face, and he almost pointed at Lei Hu's nose and yelled: Damn, you don't know what a martial artist is!
If Tan Sitong hadn't tried so hard to persuade him to stay, Lei Hu would have definitely turned around and left. As a result, he stayed and listened to an impassioned speech about what the Qing Dynasty would do after the reform and reform.
Not only were Kang and Liang happy, but even a group of so-called reformists who attended the meeting all joined in to imagine the future, and they were all very excited and lively.
Damn it, is there such an operation?
Lei Hu said that his eyes were really opened this time. The internal meeting of the reformers turned out to be like this. There was nothing practical at all. A bunch of guys got excited talking about it.
After finally making it to the end of the party, Lei Hu rejected Tan Sitong's offer to meet Kang and Liang alone and left without any regrets.
I made up my mind that I would never get involved in the affairs of these crazy people.
You can talk so confidently, but it’s hard to cover up the embarrassment that they don’t have much real power in their hands?
Tan Sitong accidentally revealed that Yuan Shikai was very sympathetic to the reform and hoped to win him over. By then, the reformers would have the new army trained by the imperial court.
Innocent!
Lei Hu didn't say anything, and Tan Sitong probably wouldn't listen. He just reminded him to be careful when leaving, and said nothing else.
In his opinion, these guys regard the so-called reform and reform as child's play, thinking that as long as they shout slogans and get the approval of Emperor Guangxu, everything will be OK.
I didn't realize at all that the Reform Movement was a large-scale reshuffle of power. The dangers and bloody cruelty during this period were no worse than those on the battlefield. If one mistake was not made, one's body might be shattered to pieces.
Of course, Lei Hu would not say these words. Despite his good intentions, he ended up causing complaints and dissatisfaction from the reformers. That is called not being human inside and out.
…
"Master Hu, that boy Zhao Tianba is very arrogant!"
In the main hall of a small courtyard of the Lingnan Guild Hall, Lei Hu was listening to a report from his elite militiamen: "This guy threatened to participate in the Lion King Conference, saying that he must win the title of Lion King. At this time, he has begun to take heavy measures to suppress other possibilities.
The Jianghu forces present at the meeting!"
"Oh, why is he so arrogant? What confidence does he have?"
Lei Hu waved his hand and asked directly: "Although the Lion King Conference is not looked down upon by the powerful, it will not easily tolerate someone deciding on the champion early!"
In other words, ever since he learned that the imperial court was hosting the Lion King Conference, he had sent people to keep an eye on Zhao Tianba, and news about this guy kept coming to his ears.
Just as Wang Wu had previously commented, Zhao Tianba was completely an Eight Banners gangster. Relying on the shadow of his ancestors and some connections with those Eight Banners dignitaries, he was extremely domineering and arrogant on the ground in the capital.
This guy is also very business savvy. He somehow learned the foreigners' methods of running factories and set up several factories in the capital that were doing quite well. After having money on hand, this guy intensified his efforts and became more arrogant and arrogant.
After inquiring about this guy's situation, Lei Hu gave up his intention to come to the house.
It's not that I'm afraid of this guy, but that I'm afraid of causing trouble and attracting the attention of the Eight Banners dignitaries behind this guy, which will inevitably involve him again.
Anyway, it won't be long before this guy comes to the Lingnan Guild Hall to find trouble. Then it won't be too late to have a fight with his subordinates.
These were just his thoughts and he did not tell anyone else, so the elite militiamen responsible for inquiring about the information did not know and were honestly reporting the information collected:
"Zhao Tianba has connections with the government. When trouble occurs, the government not only ignores it, but even sends officials to help scare the heroes nearby!"
"In addition, Zhao Tianba has an extremely powerful master under his command, called Gui Jiao Qi. His footwork is very good. Whenever he encounters an attack, this guy will basically step in and defeat the targeted hero!"
Finally heard this guy’s name!
Lei Hu perked up and said with a smile, "Have you found out, when will this guy come to your door?"
"That's about it for the next few days!"
The elite militiamen who were inquiring about the news were a little confused and said: "Master Hu, how about we tell Mr. Huang the news so that he can be prepared!"
"Need not!"
Lei Hu waved his hand and said with a smile: "Master has been in the capital for more than a year and has created a prosperous business such as a pharmaceutical factory. He is better informed than you and me!"
As he spoke, he reminded: "Now that Master is planning to attend the Lion King Conference again, doesn't he know about any information about opponents in the capital?"
With Zhao Tianba's arrogance, it is impossible to say that Huang Qiying didn't know about his existence.
But the old man would never have thought that Zhao Tianba would be so arrogant and arrogant that he would have the guts to knock on the door of the Lingnan Guild Hall directly. This is a very serious matter.
Apart from other things, Kang Nanhai and Liang Qicao, who are now famous in both the government and the public, are Lingnan people.
This is also the main reason why Lei Hu is dissatisfied with them. Everyone is from Lingnan. Even if the civil and military professions don't like each other, there is no need to be sarcastic or sarcastic. It's just different opinions. What's the big deal if you don't listen?
If it weren't for the fact that these two people are now so prosperous and have helped many merchants at Lingnan Guild Hall, Lei Hu really wouldn't mind being a villain for once...
