Be a master through ancient times

"Lord Fan?" Chu Ci was very surprised when he saw the person brought by his servants, and immediately got up to greet him. He didn't expect that the admiral of the Navy would come to the Ti Xuesi in person, and he still dressed like this.

"Chu Tixue, long time no see." Fan Ju pulled out a smile, his brows and eyes were full of sadness, and his face lost a lot of weight. It was obvious that the Japanese pirates disturbed him during this period of time.

"Master Fan, please sit down. I dare to ask you to come today, but I heard the news from Chu?" Chu Ci was a little puzzled. He asked three times but there was no response. Why did someone come suddenly?

There was a hint of surprise on Fan Ju's face, and after Chu Ci explained the cause and effect, the surprise immediately turned into anger: "Fan has never heard the news from anyone, if he knew that Chu Tixue had something to discuss, Fan would never delay .”

That year when Chuci helped him arrest the water bandits and involved the Japanese in a conspiracy, he received a lot of awards, and his achievements in the annual evaluation were all tops.He has already regarded Chu Ci as an excellent counselor, and he also knows that he will go to the Three Treasures Hall for everything, and if someone sends a message to him, there must be something important to tell him.

"Then Master Fan is looking for Chu today, why did you come here?" Since he didn't come to look for him after hearing the news, it was naturally because of other things.

As soon as he got down to business, Fan Ju immediately became serious: "It's like this. Most of the Japanese people who slaughtered the village before were dead, but the leader and the two who fell off the cliff before were lucky enough to survive. This time, it's Because we encountered trouble during the interrogation, these Japanese people refused to cooperate at first, and then we were severely punished. After being forced into a hurry, these Japanese people finally spoke, but they didn’t say a few words, and it became a Japanese language. gone."

When it came to this point, Mr. Fan was a little embarrassed: "You also know that our Navy Yamen is a bunch of rough people. Some people can't speak official language well, so how can they understand Japanese language. In this situation, it is not easy for us to make a list Please come to the yamen who can speak the Japanese language, in case it is a spy, it would be bad to have a relationship with the captured Japanese.”

Chu Ci nodded, their concerns were very reasonable.

Master Fan saw that he didn't show contempt, and he felt relieved a lot: "So, in desperation, the old man remembered that Chu Ti learned from you. When you helped us catch the water bandits last time, the old man also heard you say Japanese language. I would like to ask Chu Ti to learn from you and do me a favor by listening to what the Japanese recruited, okay?"

Chu Ci was also a little embarrassed, which he should have expected.He really wanted to agree, but his Japanese is only half-baked, and he understands the most basic daily expressions, but Japanese people can't say "hello", "goodbye", "have you eaten" and so on when confessing? If he wants to agree but doesn't understand, it's embarrassing.

But people came all the way here, and if they refused, they were afraid that others would think too much, and it was so troublesome in the officialdom.While making complaints, Chu Ci was thinking about how to speak tactfully so that people would not think he was perfunctory.

Master Fan saw that he didn't speak for a while, and he had some bad premonitions in his heart: "Chu Tixue, but what...is it inconvenient?"

Just as Chu Ci was about to nod his head and say his excuse, a figure suddenly appeared in his mind: "Master Fan, it's not that Chu doesn't want to help, it's really embarrassing, but..."

Master Fan had raised his heart at first, thinking that Chu Ci was going to refuse, but when he changed the subject, he knew that he probably had other plans.

"But what?"

"However, I have someone here who can probably solve Master Fan's worries. He has some understanding of the Japanese language, and he must be able to hear what the Japanese said."

Mr. Fan was suspicious: "Then, where is this person now?"

Chu Ci smiled and said: "Master Fan should also know him, he is Meng Fan from the Provincial Education Department." Chu Ci remembered that when he went there last time, Meng Fan once said that because he was proficient in the language of the Japanese, he was still entertained by the Japanese. Accompanying the governor when he was governor.Scholars are mostly modest. When telling others that they know nothing, they must understand something. When telling others that they know nothing, they must be proficient. Otherwise, ordinary officials of the Department of Education are not qualified to attend such a scene.

"It's him?" Mr. Fan said, "Although our navy is not familiar with those civil servants, we have met them. It turns out that he still has this ability. It's just that Fan has nothing to do with him, so he came here rashly. ,I am afraid……"

Chu Ci heard the stringed songs and knew the elegant meaning, so he didn't need to say much, just laid out paper and ink, and wrote a letter to Mr. Meng.He reckoned that Mr. Meng's role should be more than one time, and he was probably needed to be an interpreter when the two armies were fighting.With this achievement, Master Meng's position may be changed. As far as Chu Ci knows, he has held the current position for five years.

Master Fan put away the letter, and the troubles on his face had disappeared. He patted Chu Ci's shoulder cheerfully, said a few good words, and expressed his closeness.After speaking, he was ready to leave.

Chu Ci smiled slightly, and just about to get up to see off the guests, he suddenly remembered the thing he wanted to talk to Master Fan at first.

"Master Fan, don't leave. Chu asked someone to bring you a message for a very important matter. Please stop for a while."

Fan Ju sat back again. He saw Chu Ci rummaging through the bookshelves for a while, and then took out a roll of blueprints and handed it to him. After Fan Ju took it, he began to look through it, and the expression on his face changed from the initial casualness to Get serious.Even Chu Ci knew what this sea chart represented, how could Fan Ju, who had been patrolling the sea around Nan Fujian for several years, not know the importance of this thing.

"Chu Tixue, where did this thing come from?" Fan Ju put the chart carefully next to his body, wishing he could fly back to the Yamen immediately and lead his troops there to wipe out the Japanese.

Chu Ci looked outside the door, and after making sure that no one was nearby, he lowered his voice and said, "This was found among the relics of the Juye Mountain Man, and this is probably the reason why he was killed."

A trace of cruelty flashed in Fan Ju's eyes: "Chu Tixue, who did you send the information to?" He didn't take it seriously at first, but when he thought that such an important news was delayed for several days, his heart shuddered. Don't hit one place when you are angry.

He didn't expect to blame Chu Ci, because after the declaration of war against the Japanese, the governor had already issued an order that all officials must strictly guard their positions, and they were not allowed to leave the house without orders, and those who violated the order were severely punished.This move is also afraid that under the panic of people, some officials will pack their bags and leave in advance.

Correspondingly, local people are not allowed to move around at will. Even if they want to leave the county, they must take a letter issued by the village or Lizheng to the county government to get a seal before they can leave.Under such vigilance, although it has brought some troubles to people, those people with ulterior motives are also struggling.

Under this high-pressure policy, there are also people who are relatively free. One is the soldiers of the navy and the confiscated government officials, and the other is the boatmen on the wharf. We are now used to transporting official documents by boat instead of taking the slow and dangerous mountain trails through post stations.

Chu Ci asked Guan Yun, the battalion commander of Xi County, but for some reason, he didn't pass on the information.

"This Guan Yun!" Master Fan slapped the table angrily, "I usually see him as honest and honest, but I didn't expect him to be lazy and slippery! This time I delayed a major event, let's see how I deal with him!"

Chu Ci didn't expect that his words would provoke Fan Ju's fury, so he quickly said a few words for him. From his observation, this Commander Guan actually didn't seem like the kind of person who likes to be lazy and play tricks.This time there might be some reason.

"Chu Tixue, I understand what you mean, and I will investigate clearly, but the military order is like a mountain, if he really delays the military situation, then I can't blame the old man for being cruel!" If you get it, you will be able to teach these bastards a lesson!Thinking of this, Master Fan became even more angry.

Chu Ci nodded, it is fine not to convict directly, and it is just and reasonable to punish according to the results of the investigation.

Watching Fan Ju go away in the car, Chu Ci also heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, otherwise this chart has been stored with him, it is really troublesome, and he has to worry about it, for fear that others will know the secret. up.

A few days later, Chu Ci received a letter from Lord Fan, which was sent by a soldier of the navy.The letter explained the ins and outs of the undelivered information. It turned out that Guan Yun was not lazy and slippery, but that he made a mistake in the transmission.

After Chuci found Guan Yun that day, he told him that the matter was of great importance and that Master Fan or Marshal Zhu needed to be notified immediately.Taking Guan Yun's position as an example, he was able to hand over the letter to them without being suspected.

Guan Yun has been stationed in Zhangzhou Mansion, so he naturally knows about Chu Ci. After hearing what he said, he immediately sent a letter to send someone to the expropriated fishing boat, because the two warships and one cruiser in his camp The ship is not allowed to leave easily, and it has to patrol the surrounding waters every day.

Once the fishing boat left, the information was cut off.Guan Yun only thought that the higher-ups were too busy to see Chu Ci, so there was no news. When Chu Ci came, he could only politely persuade him to go back, saying something that the higher-ups were too busy to prevaricate.

After Master Fan found out that he was not lying, he went to investigate the news of the fishing boat thoroughly, but after this investigation, he was immediately furious.It turned out that the fishing boat never delivered the letter, claiming that it was accidentally lost.

Mrs. Fan was furious, why didn't the others be lost, but this one would be lost?He sent people to search his home again, and found some clues in his home. There were some papers for lighting fires piled up in front of the stove in his home. From the writing on them, it can be judged that most of them are family letters of ordinary people. There were also a few letters from the government, probably brought in by mistake.Some of the letters were even sent a long time ago, which shows that this person has been hiding for a long time.

The man panicked and knelt down to beg for mercy.Mr. Fan asked him why he hid these letters, and this man faltered to tell the truth, saying that some of these things were used to light fires, and some were used to paste walls.The officials heard this and looked up, only to see that there were layers of paper on the surrounding earthen walls.

Seeing this, Chu Ci simply didn't know what to say, how could anyone be so ignorant?If it wasn't for Master Fan's thorough investigation this time, I am afraid that everyone will not know until their death that the boatman who helped carry the letters would secretly bring these letters back.

These letters contain the joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys of the common people, which should have been sent to relatives, but turned into wallpaper and soot here.

When Chu Ci continued to look down, a sentence from this person caught his attention. He said that he had seen others do the same thing, but they lost the letter.He thought, what a pity to lose such good paper, wouldn't it be better to go back and paste the walls and windows...

Does anyone else do the same?Chu Ci pondered for a while, then called Ah Tie in and told him to do something.He has always had a question in his heart, and he doesn't know if he can solve it.
