Chapter 52 Born in the 34th year of the Guangxu reign



This was something no one had expected, including Meng Fanle and A Yi who had personally witnessed Shuo Yu walking over. The key point was that Shuo Yu had just obtained this fake ID, and asked God to expedite it for him. After much haste, he finally caught up. This is the benefit of being a brother to God. No matter how outrageous your request is, He can do it for you.

Shuo Yu greeted the officers present with the etiquette of a civilized man and respectfully handed over his ID, which had his photo and a big stamp of the Ministry of Justice of the Republic of China on it, absolutely authentic!

"This is the Republic of China, not a feudal society, right? Death row prisoners abroad have lawyers, right, Master?"

His subtext is that I am really just a lawyer, their team leader's defense lawyer,

It was Tang Ji who broke the awkwardness first, waving his hands with a helpless look.

"Okay, okay, lawyer, lawyer, then you should stand with your leader."

Shuo Yu happily put away his lawyer's license and stood one step behind Long Wenjian's left, forcing He Shuguang and Li Bing, who were originally guarding Long Wenjian, to step back a few steps.

When passing by their leader, he smiled at him and told him not to worry, he would not leave him alone, and if the situation was not right, he would take him away immediately.

"name."

"Longwenzhang, the dragon as in dragon and phoenix, means writing articles.

"age."

"Born in the 34th year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu, Wushen, the year of the Earth Monkey, it's easy to remember that Guangxu died that year."

Shuo Yu stared at the back of his head from behind, feeling that maybe this guy was really a monkey that came out of nowhere. He had never been well behaved before, but today he was acting out of character and was unusually well-behaved.

"Thirty-four years? Oh, that means thirty-four years old, remember."

Tang Ji glanced at Zhang Lixian, who was acting as a clerk. There was a typewriter on a small table. Such an outrageous court was surprisingly well-equipped with everything done properly.

"That year Cixi also died. Now it is the 31st year of the Republic of China."

Yu Xiaoqing was in a very uneasy mood. One of his hands was fiddling with the gun case on his waist, which made a rattling sound. This made Shuo Yu worry that he would shoot at his leader without any warning in the next second.

"No, it's easier to remember this way, Master. My brain isn't very good, and I always can't remember where I've been or what I've done. If I die like this, I'll just be a confused ghost."

"If I die now, you will understand?" Shuo Yu didn't know who was the prisoner being interrogated.

Long Wenjian's beard hadn't been trimmed for a long time, and it looked very messy. Coupled with his ugly expression,

"Place of origin?"

"have no idea."

"Then, what about your ancestral home?"

"My family was very hard-working. We were poor and had no money, so we had to move all the time. Before I was born, we had moved to dozens of places."

Obviously, Tang Ji had not expected that there would be such a person in the world, so he changed the question.

"Ah, then where were you born? You can't forget it, right?"

"It's at the junction of the Rehe and Chahar rivers, but no one can remember whether it was Rehe or Chahar, but it should be in a temple. That year, both Emperor Guangxu and Empress Dowager Cixi died, and the monks and nuns were taken away to chant sutras, so the temple became empty."

To be honest, Shuo Yu couldn't tell which of his words were true and which were false. Is it really that important? He thought it was not that important, but it was obviously extremely important to the three people in front of Long Wenjian. After all, they wanted to know who this person was.

It seems important for them to figure out where this guy came from.

Zhang Lixian looked at their commander with a bewildered look on his face. It was obvious that he didn't know whether he should record such words or whether it was worth recording them.

"So where did you grow up?" Tang Ji continued to ask, nodded to Zhang Lixian, and asked him to record it truthfully.

"I lived in Hebei when I was one... I went to Suiyuan when I was six... I went with my family... The Zhi-An War took place in Kang-Zang, yes, Kang-Zang... But the Central Plains War also meant that Jiangsu was not peaceful..."

Shuo Yu suspected that he had almost mentioned all the place names in China. Is there really a normal person in the world with such rich experience?

He leaned forward, wanting to take a look at their leader's expression while no one was paying attention. Was he saying this to make Yu Xiaoqing angry?

The rattling sound of the holster was getting louder and louder, almost drowning out the sound of the questioning. Yu Xiaoqing's Colt was already in his hand.

"Keep talking nonsense. Today, your life or death will be decided." Their master frowned tightly, and it was obvious that he was almost on the verge of exploding after hearing such a long paragraph.

"That's why I have to explain it clearly. I have a bad brain and I can't always remember where I've been or what I've done." Long Wenjian pretended to be stupid. It was because he was not born with good conditions. This look made his words even more unbelievable.

"Why are you running around all over the place? Are you just talking nonsense?"

"Just trying to make a living, Master." The innocence on Long Wenjian's face was so obvious that it made people think he was making such an expression on purpose.

Yu Xiaoqing was holding a very thin file bag in his hand. He was also wearing white cotton gloves. The wrinkles on his hands showed that he felt the person in front of him was deceiving him. He hated dishonest people the most in his life.

"Your Excellency's military career is nothing more than a quartermaster lieutenant in a warehouse?! A sock darner actually took on the position of regimental commander in the midst of war!?"
