Wu Shaoting politely declined: "I have to hurry to go to the yamen to report. When everything is settled, I will be the one who works as a guest and ask you back."

Hu Hanmin exonerated Wu Shaoting and said, "Zhenzhi traveled across the ocean for several years and has just returned to China today. Therefore, there are still many things to deal with, so let Zhenzhi go first." After he said that, he turned to Wu Shaoting and reminded him again, "Zhenzhi, you have a good report, remember to send someone to tell me, I'll write an address for you."

Immediately, he wrote his temporary address in Guangzhou on a note and handed it to Wu Shaoting.

Wu Shaoting agreed with a smile and said, "I dare not forget it. Then everyone, I will say goodbye first."

Hu Hanmin, Zhu Zhixin and others said goodbye to Wu Shaoting here.

After Wu Shaoting disappeared at the exit of the dock with the crowd, the "Wang Shouzheng" couldn't help but pull the corner of Hu Hanmin's clothes and asked, "Zhantang, is this person reliable?"

Hu Hanmin smiled and said, "I don't know his background yet. However, when he was on the boat, he talked to me about some revolutionary opinions, which benefited me a lot. What we lack now is the comrades who serve in the army. Since he has a tendency to revolution and is about to be assigned military positions, he is the target we are going to fight for."

"Zhantang, does he know your identity?" Hu Zhixin asked.

"I didn't tell him my identity, but he should have guessed it. This is nothing serious. Even if a young man like him doesn't join the revolution, he will not betray us!" Hu Hanmin said confidently.

Wang Shouzheng nodded and said, "That would be the best. You should contact him more in the future."

Hu Hanmin smiled and said, "This is natural."

Wu Shaoting left the dock, called a rickshaw, and went directly to the Guangdong Army Yamen.

The Army Yamen is located at the end of a street in Daxiaochang, a rickshaw drove for half an hour before he arrived here. After paying the car, the coachman was very kind and helped Wu Shaoting take his luggage to the door of the yamen. The building of this Yamen still maintains a simple color, with a vermilion gate and a pink and white courtyard wall. Four large regular characters "Ergent Yamen" hung on the door beams.

But strangely, after all, this is a military institution, and there is no guard at the gate.

Wu Shaoting twisted his luggage and walked in. When he just walked to the front yard, he saw several officials wearing official robes and two Chinese in suits standing under the steps of the main hall chatting.

The officials and the people in suits also saw Wu Shaoting. They saw Wu Shaoting wearing simple clothes, the braids on his head were messy, and even hair grew on his forehead, and he couldn't help but feel contempt. One of the officials shouted coldly: "Where are you from? You know where this is, although you came in?"

Wu Shaoting felt uncomfortable when he heard this full of official voice. He said without saying a word: "In the 30th year of Guangxu, Wu Changchun, General Jianwei, recommended by General Wu Changchun, to study in the German Empire from the Guangzhou Army Military Preparation School. Today, he returned from his studies and came here to report."

When everyone heard this, they immediately restrained their previous contempt. They were all minor officials. Once these top students who returned from studying abroad were assigned positions, their official titles were higher than theirs, so they naturally did not dare to offend them.

"It turns out it's Lord Wu. You said you are really right. When you are on the boat, you can send someone to the dock to greet you! It's so disrespectful." The official quickly nodded and laughed.

At this time, the two Chinese in suits did not sell Wu Shaoting's face at all.

One of the older middle-aged men with French beard sneered and said, "Now étudiants (French, international students) are becoming less and less décent. You study abroad represents the ladignité (dignity) of our Qing Dynasty. Look, what they have become when they come back, why it seems like they have just experienced a shipwreck."

Another young man echoed and laughed, saying, "oui, oui (exactly), with this posture, I don't know if it's fourbe (a liar)!"

The two fake foreigners, the old and the young, opened their mouths and spoke one or two French words, which seemed like a sudden dead fly in rice soup. It sounded really disgusting.

Wu Shaoting hates such a traitor and lackey, who bullies his compatriots by relying on his work for foreigners. However, he doesn't want to worry about anything more with these people now. It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, so sooner or later, let these traitor and lackeys taste the consequences.

The little official had come out to smooth things out. He smiled at the two fake foreigners for a while and said, "After all, Lord Wu is traveling across the ocean, and it is inevitable that he will get some dust. Don't mind, sir."

"Sir, how can I get out of the officer?" Wu Shaoting asked first without waiting for the minor official to come to calm himself down.

Seeing this, the two fake foreigners laughed in their hearts for a while, thinking that the international student could not understand French and was complacent.

The little official said repeatedly: "Please please let me take the lead in your way, Mr. Wu."

So Wu Shaoting followed the little official to the corridor next to the yard. On the way to the officer's office, he asked the little official: "I haven't asked this big brother's name yet."

The little official replied with a smile: "Mr. Wu is so polite. Lin Zhaoren is the copywriter of the yamen."

Wu Shaoting nodded. The copywriter here belongs to the name of an official position, which is equivalent to an office clerk. He smiled slightly and said politely: "It turns out to be Brother Lin, please take care of him in the future."

"I dare not take it, but I dare not take it. Lord Wu is a top student who studied abroad. In the future, Lord Wu will take care of his humble position." Lin Zhaoren said repeatedly.

"Who were those two foreign and fashionable people before?" Wu Shaoting asked again.

"Oh, these two are both assistants in the concession for foreigners. The older one is Zhang Haili, who works in the Bank of France; the young man is also named Chen Lianbo, who is even more amazing. He originally runs his own silk company and also serves as assistant to the foreign companies, HSBC and Citi. It is really prosperous." Lin Zhaoren said with sighing.

Wu Shaoting frowned. Zhang Haili had no impression, but he was very familiar with Chen Lianbo. After thinking about it carefully, he seemed to have seen this name on a traitor website. Chen Lianbo was a giant in Guangzhou and used the convenience of foreigners to accumulate a lot of wealth. During the May Fourth Movement, Chen Lianbo also formed a merchant army, brutally suppressing the student patriotism movement; even in 1924, he attempted to subvert the Guangzhou Revolutionary Government and establish a merchant regime with the merchant army.

Of course, the subversion ended in failure, and then Chen Lianbo was active in Hong Kong, Nanyang and other places. After the outbreak of World War II, he had been standing on the side of the pro-ri camp, advocating that Hong Kong should be transferred to Japan "peacefully".

What a true traitor!

Wu Shaoting cursed in his heart, because of the emotional fluctuations in his heart, he couldn't help but "hum".

When Lin Zhaoren saw this, he quickly persuaded: "Mr. Wu, you should not take it to your heart. Lord. Mr. Zhang and Lord Chen are both powerful figures. Even Master Tai has to make them look three times more handsome."

Wu Shaoting sneered and said nothing.

Lin Zhaoren led Wu Shaoting through the corridor and came to the courtyard of the second entry. As soon as he entered here, his popularity became more popular. People came and went back and forth, including those in the yamen, some in military uniforms and some in official robes. At the end of the yard, there was a three-bedroom house, and a plaque "The Officer's Office" hung on the eaves of the door.

"Mr. Wu, this is it." Lin Zhaoren asked Wu Shaoting to go further first.

Wu Shaoting walked into the main hall of the Officer's Office. There was a counter directly in front of him. Behind the counter were two officials, one wearing official robes and the other wearing new military uniforms.

Lin Zhaoren followed in and smiled and greeted the counter: "Mr. Chen, this Mr. Wu has just returned from studying in Germany and is a military academy student. Come and report today."

The official in the official robe was lowering his head to sort out the copy. He didn't even raise his head when he heard this. He just replied impatiently: "A student from the German Military Academy? When did we send someone to study at the German Military Academy?"

However, the sergeant in a new military uniform looked up and down, showing a very interested look. He smiled and pushed Lord Chen aside and said, "Old Chen, after all, he has returned from the ocean and is also the pillar of our country's future. How can he be neglected?"

Lord Chen sighed, pushed the copy in his hand away, raised his head to look at Wu Shaoting, and asked mechanically: "CV, ID, graduation documents, consulate guarantee."

Wu Shaoting felt as if he owed Mr. Chen a huge sum of money. What was his attitude? Fortunately, he was calm and took out his suitcase from Lin Zhaoren, took out all the documents and documents, and placed them one by one on the counter.

"Wu Shaoting, whose ancestral home is Anhui, was promoted to Guangzhou Army Military Academy in Guangzhou. He was recommended by Wu Changchun, the commander of the fifth town, to go to the German Munich Higher Officer Academy for study." Mr. Chen murmured while looking at Wu Shaoting's resume. "Who is Wu Changchun, you are you?"

"Uncle of the same clan." Wu Shaoting replied.
