CHAPTER II THE GOLD WATCH OF THE SWITZERLAND

On the way back to Chengdu with Qin Guangcheng, Wang Hengyue was trapped on the left and then he realized that it was the first year of the Xuantong reign of the Qing Dynasty.

The first year of Xuantong? That was 1909! Wang Hengyue calculated that there were still two years before the overthrow of the Qing Dynasty!

Two years! When Wang Hengyue thought that if the Qing Dynasty was overthrown in two years, it would usher in the most brilliant and colorful era in Chinese history, he couldn't help but feel excited.

In this period of history, any small person may appear on the stage of history. What about himself? Wang Hengyue suddenly thought.

What can I do in this era when I am from another era? Can I leave my name in this era?

I was thinking all the way, and I was absent-minded and perfunctory about what Qin Guangcheng and himself said.

Seeing that he was about to arrive in Chengdu, Qin Guangcheng hesitated for a while and asked Wang Hengyue to wait for a while. He hurriedly left. After waiting for half an hour, he came two red and black serries with black tea-brown serpents, and several red and black hats with plaques stood majestic in front of the sedan chair.

Qin Guangcheng smiled and said, "Brother is not talented, so he donated a fourth-rank alternative road and looks like he goes out. My family is thinking that I will be back in the next two days, and this guy has been waiting at the city gate for two days. Brother, I called another sedan chair, please!"

He asked Wang Hengyue to take the second thrust, and then ordered to go to Chengdu.

Qin Guangcheng donated the fourth-rank alternative road, and no one stopped him when he entered the city gate. The red and black hat in front was even more majestic. The roaring squads in front let go and shouted loudly:

"Walking people stop, those who speak can stop their voices; those who carry white veils on their heads will take off, and those who violate the forty plates will never be lenient!"

After roaring, I was carrying the "avoidance" on my shoulders, "the fourth rank of imperial rewards" and "the flower feathers were awarded to me". I was very majestic along the way.

There is no road in Chengdu, and the whole city is covered with stone roads. The streets are only about ten meters wide, and the alleys are only two or three meters narrow. When going out for transportation, the most popular one is the sedan chair. Those who walk and see sedan chairs coming, they can’t avoid it.

This was the first time Wang Hengyue experienced sitting in a sedan chair. After walking for a long time, the sedan chair stopped, the curtain was lifted, and the person on duty shouted: "I'm asking to get out of the sedan chair!"

After getting off the sedan chair, the one that caught my eye was a grand yard. Qin Guangcheng took Wang Hengyue's hand and walked towards the yard. The men and women stood at the gate of the yard. When he saw Qin Guangcheng coming, he shouted together:

"Congratulations to the Lord for returning safely!"

With a loud voice, everyone was whispering, which scared Wang Hengyue, who was unprepared.

"Let's go, brother, we're home!" Qin Guangcheng was happy and ignored those people, and walked straight inside with Wang Hengyue.

The banquet was already ready, so Wang Hengyue asked to clean his hands. The two sat down opposite each other. Qin Guangcheng raised his cup and repeatedly thanked Wang Hengyue for his life-saving grace, and had a few drinks in a row.

Wang Hengyue said a few humble words and drank a few drinks. He thought to himself that Qin Guangcheng was a rich man in Chengdu. Since entering Chengdu, Qin Guangcheng has become extraordinary in everything he saw and heard.

After chatting for a while, Qin Guangcheng put down his cup: "Brother, you and I will hit it off when we see you, call you brother, and please don't be disgusted by me. Brother, please call me brother, brother, I will treat you like a brother!"

"Brother, please!" Wang Hengyue was also a cheerful person, raised his cup and said.

Qin Guangcheng was overjoyed and drank the wine in his cup in one sip: "Brother, since I call me brother, I, the one who is a brother, naturally have to think about my brother everywhere. Brother, don't think that being a brother is too much. I know that you revolutionaries are not afraid of death, but brothers are aware of the one who comes to Sichuan. No matter how ambitious he is, how can one achieve great things? According to my brother's idea, it's better to settle here temporarily and then make a big plan?"

In order to scare Lu Baogen away, Wang Hengyue lied to him that he was a revolutionary party. In fact, he had no relationship with the revolutionary party, but he was afraid that the revolutionary party would find trouble for him if he knew that there was a fake "comrade" in Sichuan. Now that Qin Guangcheng said that, it was exactly what Wang Hengyue wanted.

Pretending to ponder for a while, Wang Hengyue then said, "What my brother said is exactly what my brother is worried about. I, the revolutionary, regard overthrowing the Qing Dynasty as the top priority, but my brother is weak at the moment, and I also want to hide it for the time being and wait for my comrades from all walks of life to take action!"

Qin Guangcheng was overjoyed when he heard this, and patted his chest and said, "When my brother has a gold shop in Chengdu, there are several other industries, what are the brothers going to do, but if you speak, the elder brother will lose everything and repay his life-saving grace!"

On the way to Chengdu, Qin Guangcheng told Wang Hengyue everything about him.

His family was originally a businessman for generations, and it was passed down to Qin Guangcheng's generation. Although it was not considered a huge wealth, it also had a wealth of wealth and had great assets.

Qin Guangcheng was another person who hated evil. After fighting against Lu Baogen, a bandit from Chengdu, Qin Guangcheng discussed with the government and paid out his own pocket and offered a huge reward to arrest Lu Baogen. Only then did he form a hatred with Lu Baogen, the giant bandit of Jinyan Lake.

Wang Hengyue also knew that as long as he spoke, Qin Guangcheng would give it to him, but in this way, the other party underestimated him.

After thinking about it for a while, Wang Hengyue spoke, "Brother, although my brother is poor, I still know what money should be taken and what money should not be taken. Although my brother saved my life, I have to take a slightest bit from my brother. Will I still have the face to see people in the future?"

"A true righteous man!" Qin Guangcheng slapped the table and exclaimed loudly: "Everyone said that you revolutionaries value righteousness over wealth. When you see each other today, your reputation is worthy of yours!" After that, he asked tentatively: "What do you mean by brother?"

Wang Hengyue had already had a conspiracy in his mind: "Brother may introduce me to someone who specializes in Western things business?"

"Make Western stuff?" Qin Guangcheng was stunned: "When my brother recognizes a few in Chengdu, I don't know what brother wants..."

Wang Hengyue took out the bag he brought with him: "Brother came back from overseas this time and brought a batch of this... this Swiss domestic gold watch..."

"The gold watch of Switzerland?" Qin Guangcheng was stunned again.

Wang Hengyue hardened his head: "It is a Swiss gold watch. The Swiss country also has patriotic compatriots who sympathize with our revolutionaries. This time we returned to the country to do business, and patriotic compatriots donated a batch of gold watches and entrusted their brothers to bring them back to China in exchange for funds to contribute to the overthrow of the Qing Dynasty!"

When Wang Hengyue said this, he was really guilty. What he said was actually the batch of copycat watches in his bag.

When you come to this era, it is really hard to move without half a cent in your pocket. Whether you can survive in this era depends entirely on this batch of counterfeit gold watches!
