Chapter 94: A Decaying One
"I can't see it, I'm still an official! Or rather, those who have been officials. ”
Wang Mengxiong thought to himself in his heart, feeling that this guy was a little eager to cover up. As long as the careful person can deduce his military experience from his sitting posture, these soldiers are now called big head soldiers instead of Qiu Ba, as ordinary people call them, and they have confirmed their identity as officers.
With a bang, Jing Dingcheng put a large pile of food he had bought at his feet. He reached out and pulled the crumpled suit on his body, and complained: "The attitude of these soldiers is arrogant and unreasonable, and it is simply insulting. The Kaifeng Overseer's Mansion let someone steal something, so he should go to Kaifeng to find it, and what to do in Zhengzhou Station? ”
The man in the back was obviously very concerned about the situation outside, and when he saw that a soldier with a gun had come in at the door of the carriage, he unconsciously leaned towards Wang Mengxiong, and his originally upright sitting posture suddenly became a little shorter.
After Jing Dingcheng complained, he suddenly found that Wang Mengxiong had an extra traveler by his side. He looked at this man who was about the same age as himself, with a tall demeanor, and he had a good impression and a heart to make friends. "This friend, it is fate to be able to sit together, let's get to know each other, the contemptible Jing Dingcheng, the word Mei Jiu, next to you is my year-old friend Wang Fan, I don't know what you call it?"
The man looked at the soldiers who were checking the passengers at the door of the carriage, forced himself to composure, and stretched out his hand to hold Jing Dingcheng's right hand. "Little brother Guo Songling, the word Maochen, fortunately. Mei Jiu brother, Wang Fan Xiaoyou. ”
"Guo Songling?"
This name is so familiar, it reminds Wang Mengxiong of Guo Songling, who turned the Northeast upside down and almost knocked Zhang Dashuai into the wilderness. Could it be that the person in front of him is wearing a pair of pants with the young marshal, but in the end he was beaten by the corpse for three days? It's just that this guy isn't the general of the Feng army? How could he disguise himself and run to the territory of the Anhui system?
Guo Songling looked at the search soldiers who were getting closer and closer, and his heart was also flustered, not as calm as he appeared at all. After graduating from the Fengtian Army Crash Course in 1907, he has been following the army commander Zhu Qinglan, entering Sichuan and joining the League. After the first uprising in Wuchang, he was ostracized and resigned to return to Fengtian, and later was admitted to the Army University, and after graduation, he served as an instructor in the martial arts hall of the Beijing Division. Last year, when he heard that Mr. Sun had formed a French Protector Army in Guangdong, he ran to defect and got the post of staff officer of the Guangdong-Jiangxi-Hunan Border Supervision Office. This time, I volunteered to come to Kaifeng just to use my connections to listen to some useful information. How do you know that as soon as the information arrives, it was detected by the people of the Overseer's Palace, and the person who provided the information was arrested, and he was forced to abscond to Zhengzhou Station, intending to take the train to Hankou first and then back to Guangzhou.
Although the passengers at both ends of the carriage were a little dissatisfied with these arrogant soldiers, this was the virtue of the Republic of China, and the so-called county officials were not as good as the current management, and whoever was the local warlord was the uncle. The current overseer of Henan is Zhao Kui, and the deceased President Yuan Da is a fellow villager in Henan Province, who won Yuan's trust. After Yuan Datou died, he took refuge in Duan Zhiquan again, and his status still did not fall. The number of Yi soldiers under his command was large, and the military discipline was corrupted, making the people miserable, which was notoriously bad. So don't look at these soldiers as fierce and rude, but the passengers all dare to be angry and dare not speak, and obediently cooperate with the inspection.
Wang Mengxiong looked at the man who seemed to be Guo Songling in his memory, although he looked calm on the surface, in fact, he could hear a dense heartbeat like a drum in his ears, and knew that he was the main owner these soldiers were looking for. Thinking of his future achievements, I know that this time people may not be in trouble, but it seems to be a good favor.
Thinking of this, Wang Mengxiong hurriedly opened the food bag that Jing Dingcheng bought, took out the Daokou roast chicken wrapped in oil paper from it, tore off a thigh and handed it to Guo Songling, and the other gave it to Jing Dingcheng, and he tore a big piece of chicken breast meat and ate it.
Guo Songling took the roast chicken leg handed over by Wang Mengxiong, and didn't understand why this kid gave him this, Jing Dingcheng was the first to react, and said while eating the cooked chicken thighs: "
Brother Maochen, hurry up and eat? This is also a piece of filial piety for your nephew, and when you are full, you will tell him the story of going to the rivers and lakes to do business. ”
"Yes, Uncle Guo, don't look at this as Zhengzhou, far away from Anyang Huaxian County, but this Daokou roast chicken is indeed the taste of Yixing Zhang's old shop in Daokou Town, Huaxian County."
"Really? Looks like the peddler didn't lie to me. Although the price is a little expensive, it is worth it to be able to eat authentic Yixingzhang's roast chicken. ”
Guo Songling's heart was relieved, and his face eased a lot. He is also a smart and witty person, otherwise he would not have volunteered to come to the territory of the Yi Army to engage in intelligence. "Well, this roast chicken is fat but not greasy, beautiful in color and flavor, no need to use a knife to separate the flesh and bones, it is worthy of being a 200-year-old shop, thank you nephew."
The searching soldiers soon came to the three men, and when they saw that they were eating with their hands full of oil and their mouths full of oil and talking with pleasure, they ruled out their suspicions. The one who said that he ran away was a person, and there was no response from the same party. The familiar appearance of these three people, as well as the many suitcases stacked on them, all indicate that these people are not on the train at Zhengzhou Station. So he just interrogated a few words, then gently let it go and walked to the middle of the carriage.
Soon the soldiers on both sides of the search were in one place, except for some more money in their hands that they had robbed from a few passengers, and they quickly got off the train at the whistle of the captain, and left in procession.
Delayed by these soldiers, some of the delayed trains left the platform with a long bang after the station staff gave the signal. With the sound of clanging, the passengers in the carriage who were blackmailed and those who were not blackmailed scolded the pot. Some say that soldiers are not as good as bandits, some say that warlords can be killed, and some cry bitterly because they were robbed of things, and they can't explain when they go home. Guo Songling put down the things in his hand, didn't care about the oil stains on his hands, and hugged his fists and saluted: "Two, don't thank you for your kindness, you can get Guo Songling's in the future, just give orders." ”
Wang Mengxiong stretched out his finger and hissed on his lips, pointing behind him. "Uncle Guo, be quiet, if those people know, they will inevitably be angry with you. Besides, we have just left the station and have not left Yu Province, if we are listened to by someone with a heart, the future will still be in danger. ”
"Yes, yes, what Wang Fan Xiaoyou said is that I was not cautious enough and lost my words. Come on, let's talk about the old days, and my uncle will also tell you the story of going to the rivers and lakes. ”
Guo Songling really didn't mention the previous incident anymore, and Wang Mengxiong and Jing Dingcheng didn't care about what he had stolen from the Overseer's Mansion. On the contrary, in the end, under the knock on the side next to Wang Mengxiong, I realized that Guo Songling was doing things for the French Protector Army. Thinking of the short-lived Protector Army** and the later Generalissimo's Mansion, he felt a kind of sympathy for Guo Songling.
"First into Sichuan, then into Guangdong, and finally into Feng, this guy hasn't done anything for a long time anywhere, and he has escaped a disaster star! I don't know if if I can change his life for him if I intervene? ”
Rumbling thunder sounded in the sky, and the first spring rain came before you knew it.
Wang Mengxiong's eyelids jumped when he heard this, and he secretly put away the idea of changing his life against the sky, planning to be a Xu Shu who entered Cao Ying, and never said a word again.
