Chapter Seventy-Five: Gunshots

"Mayor Shen," Guan Xiong said to Shen Yunshan with a smile, "I think like this: these two sons are very smart, and their intelligence is indistinguishable.

However, I can also see that their nature is a bit unruly, and it may not be a good thing to be together. ”

"Yes, yes!" Shen Yunshan said excitedly, "Your Excellency is really discerning!"

"Besides," Guan Xiong said with a sip of tea, "although I want to run an education wholeheartedly, I can't help myself in troubled times, and I really have more than enough heart and not enough strength! ”

"Yes, of course I understand!" Shen Yunshan said excitedly.

"In my opinion," said Guan Xiong, "both sons should go out to study and make up for the lack of a new culture." This is called adapting measures to local conditions and teaching according to people!

However, even military spending is very tight now, so it is necessary to do what you can to subsidize students, and you can only fund one first. ”

"Who?" asked Li Dejin and Shen Zhaoyin in unison.

Guan Xiong pondered for a while, then pointed at Li Dejin and said, "You!"

Shen Zhaoyin sat back on the stool helplessly, tears glistening in his eyes, and muttered in his mouth: "Doesn't Xiao Dejin write some poems?

Shen Yunshan was very sad in his heart, he didn't understand why Guan Xiong was like this, and he was unwilling to make a wedding dress for others like this.

But he understood that the official was crushing people to death, and he was soft-spoken, so he couldn't change Guan Xiong's decision at all, so he could only knock out his teeth and swallow his stomach.

Thinking of this, Shen Yunshan had to pretend to be smiling and said: "Camp Leader, it's really a blessing to be able to meet you! I have a ready-made pen, ink, paper, and inkstone here, and please leave Mobao so that my children and I will always remember you." ”

"Okay!" said Guan Xiong, who was full of interest, as he walked to the desk, "Legend has it that when Zheng Banqiao was in trouble, one day he was so hungry that he saw a stall selling corn kernels on the street, but he was shy in his pocket, so he seriously drew a corn tree and wanted to exchange the painting for corn kernels.

Unexpectedly, the girl who sold corn kernels teased him and handed him the corn kernels wrapped in his paintings.

Mayor Shen, don't exchange my pen and ink for things, my words are worthless!"

Looking at a Chinese painting of a pine tree hanging on the wall, Guan Xiong wrote:

"Not afraid of the rain to deceive,

Let the wind play.

Straighten your waist to the sky,

Ambition in the clouds.

Unintentionally with the sky,

but they will stand up to the sky.

Even if the knife splits and the axe is sharpened,

Don't change your original intention. ”

After reading it, Li Dejin folded his hands and said: "Amen! Camp Leader, I always feel that the word 'but' in 'but to stand up to the sky' is a bit ......."

Li Dalong was very annoyed by Li Dejin just now, and now he was afraid that he would offend Guan Xiong again, so he stepped forward and slapped him and shouted:

"Shut up! Shameless things for stealing prices! The battalion commander praises you twice, and your tail will rise to the sky, and you dare to believe it! The battalion commander is good at poetry and calligraphy. These are the three truths and six grasses, which are the treasures of the world!"

Shen Yunshan thought in his heart: "It was because Li Dalong was too strict with Xiaohu that Camp Commander Guan changed his mind. Little Dejin is a blessing in disguise!

He Li Dalong actually didn't know what to do like this, and he still had to make inches! Today I carelessly lost Jingzhou. I shouldn't have brought him to drink with the camp commander!

"Hehe!" Guan Xiong said with a smile, "How can my broken characters be compared with the block letters of Wang San of the Northern and Southern Dynasties and the cursive script of Wang Liu?"

"In my opinion," Shen Zhaoyin stood up and said, "'But you have to stand up to the sky' is fine! But wouldn't it be better to change the word 'but' to the word 'oath'?"

Shen Yunshan also wanted to raise his hand and slap Shen Zhaoyin, but Shen Zhaoyin turned around and ran out of the door.

"Come back!" Shen Yunshan shouted, seeing that Shen Yunshan didn't pay attention, he hurriedly chased after him.

"Phew!" suddenly came the sound of gunshots outside the door.

Guan Xiong heard the sound and pulled out his pistol and said loudly to the adjutant and guards: "Quick!"

Shen Zhaoyin fell to the ground, covering his abdomen with his hands, blood oozing from his fingers.

Li Detong, who was hiding behind a big tree across the road, held a rifle and exposed half of his head, and pulled the trigger at Shen Yunshan.

Shen Yunshan just squatted down to help Shen Zhaoyin up, the bullet grazed his scalp, and he fell down in fright.

Li Detong shouted excitedly: "Shen Yunshan, you are innocent of death!"

As soon as he heard the voice, Li Dejin, who had just run to Shen Zhaoyin's side, said, "It was my third brother Li Detong who shot the gun." It's terrible! Someone is dead!" Then he shouted, "Third brother, why did you beat your second cousin? You said, he is your own brother!"

"It's your business!" Li Detong shouted, "Get out of the way! Lao Tzu's guns don't have long eyes!"

......

Guan Xiong and others rushed to the door and shot at Li Detong.

Li Detong quickly retracted his head and escaped into the alley behind the big tree.

The adjutant and the guards hurried to the opposite tree. The adjutant shouted: "Battalion commander, are we chasing the murderer?"

"Mayor Shen, what's the situation behind the house opposite?" asked Guan Xiong.

"I don't know. Shen Yunshan replied.

"I'm asking, is there an open field or a forest in the back, are there many people? Are the people who fired the guns familiar with the terrain?"

"I know this, behind the alley is a wood. There are a lot of people. Li Detong knows the terrain. Shen Yunshan replied.

"Stop the pursuit! come back!" Sekio shouted to the guards who had chased him to the edge of the woods.

Shen Yunshan stood up, grabbed Li Dejin's chest and said angrily: "Tell me, how do you know that he is Li Detong?"

"He is my third brother, and I can naturally hear his voice. You, you let go of me!" Li Dejin replied as he struggled to break free of Shen Yunshan's hand.

"There are so many people with the same accent, how do you determine that it's him?" Shen Yunshan finished speaking, shaking Li Dejin's body vigorously.

"It was Uncle Xie who said it. The third brother went to serve as a soldier after he came out of prison, saying that he wanted to get a gun so that he could take revenge. Li Dejin said.

Li Dalong rushed up and immediately slapped Li Dejin: "What nonsense are you talking about!"

"Stop!" called the adjutant, and then said to Guan Xiong, "Battalion commander, three days ago a soldier did sneak away with a gun.

He was liberated from Banpucheng Prison by us, and he said that his surname was Shen, he did not have a large size, and he was called Xiao Sanzi. He said he was homeless and went with the team. I don't know if it's this person. ”

"Does anyone in our team know this deserter?" asked Guan Xiong.

"I don't know. The adjutant said, "His cellmate is like Xie, because he didn't join the army because of his age." He said he had a home in Haizhou City. ”

"It's Uncle Xie!" Li Dejin shouted, "Uncle Xie said that he and the third brother were imprisoned together." He didn't go to Haizhou, he was at my house!"

"Mayor Shen," Guan Xiong said loudly, "you hurry up and send the child to the hospital for rescue! Is there a hospital nearby?"

"Yes, opposite the Dingjia Teahouse. I'll carry him on my back, Mr. Li, you can help me!" Shen Yunshan said.

"Okay!" Li Dalong and Li Dejin supported Shen Zhaoyin on Shen Yunshan's back.

"Li Dejin, you take us to your house. We want to learn something from you, Uncle Xie! Let's go now!" Guan Xiong said.

"Yes!" replied Li Dejin, the adjutant, and the two guards.

Li Dejin led Guan Xiong and the four on the road. He asked as he walked, "Are you going to arrest Uncle Xie and put him in jail?"

"Let's get to know the situation first. Guan Xiong said.

"I'll take you to my uncle's house to arrest my third brother!

"You can't startle the snake for the time being. I'll send someone to stay near his house. Guan Xiong said.

"Don't forget to tell my uncle and aunt about Xiao Dexi's situation, okay?" asked Li Dejin.

"Listen: You must not tell anyone about Lee Deok-seok! It's up to me to decide when to tell them. Remember?" asked Guan Xiong.

"Well, remember!" replied Li Dejin loudly.

"If you tell them about it, I will cancel your decision to sponsor you to study in Haizhou. Do you know?" asked Guan Xiong.

"Got it. Li Dejin replied, and suddenly asked again, "So, you decided to fund me?"

"Hmm. Guan Xiong replied.
