Chapter 114: Hit a Daddy
Wang Yongan had a good impression of Xu Shichang, and was even more interested in the princes and gentry who went to the Northeast alone but subdued the Northeast, and Xu Shichang's contribution to the development of the Northeast should not be tarnished by future generations, so even Wang Yongan's influence on his personal guards improved, and asked: "It stands to reason that this person should be very capable, how could he end up in Yangzhou?" ”
Tang Yunyi immediately said: "Report back to the fourth young master, this person's name is Zhang Tie, his hometown is Changsha, Hunan Province, and his father first participated in the Hunan army of Zeng Guofan. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Hunan people are brave and aggressive, Zhang Tie's father is one of the best, and later Zeng Guofan disbanded the Hunan army, he got severance pay and returned to his hometown to settle down. Later, due to discord with the old family brothers, he came to Jinshan County to settle down, and then went to Songjiang County to serve as the leader of the martial arts of the nursing home. Zhang Tie learned martial arts with his father since he was a child, and because of the defeat in the First Sino-Japanese War, he went north to join the Beiyang New Army. Because of his strong martial arts, he was selected as Xu Shichang's personal guard, and rushed to Fengtian with Xu Shichang to protect him carefully. At the end of last year, due to Yuan Shikai's involvement, Xu Shichang was also removed as the governor of the three eastern provinces. Zhang Tie left Mukden and returned to Songjiang County, but it seems that he had a dispute with someone in Songjiang and was kicked out by his father again. He now lives in the temple next to the east gate, and because I didn't get your permission from the fourth young master, I didn't dare to let him come in and live temporarily. ”
"Kicked out...... What was the reason for being kicked out? Wang Yongan frowned, "If it's a bad thing, such as being a traitor and a criminal, there is no need to keep him." Old Tang, you send someone to call him over now, I'll see how the character is, if it's suitable, live at home, if it's not suitable, send him away for five taels of silver. Either these people are outlaws, or they should not be offended. "What he thought in his heart was that he would either not be offended or he would be killed.
"Okay." Tang Yunzhi said immediately.
Wang Yongan walked into the inner hall, walked through the corridor to the door of the bedroom, and heard the two girls in the bedroom whispering, Yuxiu, who was standing at the door and dozing, saw Wang Yongan, and her big eyes were pleasantly surprised. Yuxiu was about to shout, but Wang Yongan covered her mouth, let go of his hand and asked in a low voice, "Who is inside?" Don't scream, or I'll have to serve your family. ”
Yuxiu smiled and asked in a low voice: "Auntie, what's going on with family law serving, I don't know what family law is?" ”
Wang Yongan smacked his lips and said, "Family law...... Well, leather whips, tiger chairs, chili water, can be scary, scary. The latter sentence is spoken in the dialect of Yu Province, which is not only scary, but funny. So Yuxiu not only didn't believe it in her eyes, but also said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I'm afraid, I'm afraid of my aunt, but it's scary." ”
Wang Yongan corrected: "In the future, you can't teach my aunt and master, because you are now a member of our Wang family, you should call me master - forget it, I am only eighteen years old, ask the master to call me also old, you can call me the fourth son, as before." ”
"Yes, Fourth Son." Yuxiu said.
Wang Yongan hurriedly asked: "Who is the person inside?" ”
Yuxiu said: "It's Miss Xiao, isn't it because the Yangzhou Military Medical University is about to be established recently, our young lady wants to apply for nursing at the Military Medical University, so she has been studying medical knowledge recently." I privately inquired that Miss Xiao had accepted the invitation of the president of the Military Medical University and would become a nursing teacher at the Military Medical University in the future, so the young lady asked her to make up for yourself so that you could pass the exam in the future. ”
Wang Yongan smiled and said, "Is this considered a use of power for personal gain, Mrs. Wang is not right to do this, go through the back door." ”
Yuxiu immediately defended Yuan Nianzhen and said: "Fourth son, how can you say that, our young lady and Miss Xiao have a good relationship, at most they can be regarded as taking care of public and private interests, how can they be regarded as using power for personal gain." ”
"You sharp-toothed girl." Wang Yongan scratched her nose and smiled.
The two girls inside may have heard the sound outside, so they stopped talking and walked out, Yuan Nianzhen was about to reprimand the little girl Yuxiu, but saw Wang Yongan at a glance, only to see that he was bearded but in good spirits, Yuan Nianzhen leaned on the door and said with surprise in his eyes: "Jingyun, are you back, are you on vacation?" ”
Xiao Xiaoyue also smiled and nodded, "Hello Jingyun Gongzi." ”
"Hello Nurse Xiao." Wang Yongan said.
Xiao Xiaoyue turned around and said goodbye to Yuan Nianzhen, Wang Yongan saw that it was getting late, so he invited her to stay, Yuan Nianzhen also took her hand and begged her to stay overnight before leaving, it was so late, from the old house of the Wang family to the military hospital dormitory to pass through half of Yangzhou City, there was some danger. It's a shame that Xiao Xiaoyue once stayed in Yang, but she didn't have that kind of traditional concept in her bones, and she felt that Yangzhou was not very peaceful recently, especially after the death of the former sheriff Zuo Ping, there were more thieves, so she stayed overnight after thinking about it.
Yuan Nianzhen was very happy, Wang Yongan asked Yuan Nianzhen to settle down, and he took the opportunity to eat some supper to fill his stomach. When he was eating supper, Tang Yunyi came back with the martial artist Zhang Tie.
Zhang Tie is not tall, only about one meter six or five, but he is very strong, and his appearance is slightly surprised, and he looks like Zhong Kui from a distance. Lao Tang introduced that Zhang Tie has three elder brothers and a younger brother, named Zhang Jin, Zhang Yin, Zhang Tong, and Zhang Xi, and he is the most capable of fighting among the five brothers, and he is also the most impulsive.
Wang Yongan hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks, got up to do it, and then said: "Zhang Zhuangshi, since they are all sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes, I won't say much other polite words." Let's go straight in, I know that your martial arts are very good, since you can be Xu Shichang's personal guard, you must be good at fists and feet. Let's not talk about martial arts, you just need to tell me why I was driven away by my family. ”
Zhang Tie scratched the back of his head, embarrassed, and said in an official dialect with a slight Jinmen accent: "Fourth son, I don't lie to you, I know that you are a very capable person, although you are a scholar, but the whole Yangzhou obeys you." I'll tell you the truth, because when I returned to Songjiang, I beat my father, and my father and my brothers kicked me out. You also know that I have been in the north since I grew up, although I am a southerner, but my friends are all northerners, so I can only go to the north to find trouble. ”
"You beat your father?" Wang Yongan exclaimed, "Why? You must know that no one wants to take in unfilial people. ”
Zhang Tie shook his head and smiled bitterly, and finally said depressedly: "Where did you say this, just say it when I return to Songjiang County." When I returned home a month ago, my father was no longer the leader of the martial arts master in the nursing home because of his age, and was replaced by my second brother Zhang Yin. My father took my mother and my younger brother Zhang Xi to open a braised meat shop in the county town of Shanghai, but I didn't expect that on the night of the opening, people from the Green Gang came to the store to make trouble and collect any protection fees. My younger brother Zhang Xi happened to be in the store to deliver goods to Mr. Gu, only my mother and two guys, my mother had a hot temper, and was beaten by those young gangsters because she didn't want to pay protection money. My dad was out drinking with someone at the time, and he heard the guy say that someone had smashed the shop, and when he came back, it happened that the people from the Green Gang had just left, so he chased after him and fought with the Green Gang. ”
Wang Yongan nodded and said: "The quality of the people in the Green Gang is uneven, there are people like Chen Qimei who serve the country, and there are also people like Huang Jinrong who do their own things, but you still haven't said it, why did you beat your father?" ”
Zhang Tie sighed and said embarrassedly: "Not long after my father chased him out, I also heard the news, so I didn't have time to put on my clothes, so I ran over to beat those Qinggang people. I couldn't see clearly where they were fighting, and I didn't have the moon that night, not even the stars, and I luckily knocked everyone down. When I got home, my mother asked me, "Have you seen your father?" I didn't see it, my mother said no, your father went to chase the Green Gang. I just remember that when I was chasing and beating the disciples of the Green Gang, I heard someone shouting to me: 'I'm your father, stop it, I'm your father, stop it'......"
Everyone couldn't help but laugh back and forth, this reason was too weird, Wang Yongan couldn't help but say: "Your father kicked you away because of this?" ”
"It's not my father, it's my eldest brother, my second brother and my third brother, and the fifth brother of my family, who unanimously decided to let me go out to find trouble, don't stay in Songjiang County, and don't stay in Shanghai, lest I encounter people from the Green Gang who are no longer light or heavy. That night, I broke more than a dozen disciples of the Green Gang, and the people of the Green Gang spent money to buy my life, and sooner or later someone would plot if I stayed there. Zhang Tie sighed and said, "Actually, I came out this time to avoid trouble, I'm not afraid of being alone, it's just that my father and mother are old and can't stand the trouble." Although I am not afraid of the Green Gang, if there is a conflict, my father, sister-in-law, nephews and nieces will definitely be affected. ”
Wang Yongan nodded and asked: "It turns out that this is the reason, I don't blame you, I have another question, you were a personal guard for Lord Xu (Xu Shichang) when you were in Fengtian City outside the Guanwai (Northeast), I remember that it seems to have been a guard for three years, how about you talk about him?" I'm very curious about him."
As soon as Xu Shichang was mentioned, Zhang Tie also spoke neatly, and said loudly: "Lord Xu is very good to me, and he is also very good to his subordinates, rewarding and punishing people in moderation, and recruiting virtuous people to build Manchuria." When he was outside the gates, he rectified corruption, especially when he was managing the patrol camp, he encountered many ruffians, and there were also some bold people who wanted to assassinate him, and those who opposed him were eliminated by him one by one, and those who assassinated him were eliminated one by one by me and other guards. Lord Xu has governed Manchuria for two years, and Manchuria has a new look, not to mention that the guards such as me admire it, but the foreigners all stretch out their thumbs when they see it. ”
"Does Lord Xu have any shortcomings?" Wang Yongan asked suddenly, the corners of his mouth hooked up a smile, he looked a little chilling, I don't know what the hell he was thinking, "Does Lord Xu have any weaknesses?" If, as you said, Lord Xu is not Xu Shichang, but Jiangdong Zhou Yu - he has no shortcomings? ”
