Wang Yongan ignored this complaining Baqi disciple, he turned his head to look at the girl Suo Ling'er, and asked, "Miss Ling'er, do you know what's going on outside now?" What else is happening besides martial law? ”

Suo Ling'er held her chin and said: "Although there is martial law outside, but my two brothers still heard some news, they asked the Beiyang Army soldiers at our door to hear that the king of Jiangbei was assassinated, and the Beiyang Army said that the four towns of Jiangbei were in chaos, and the four generals of Jiangbei, Fang Xianwu, Feng Heng, Li Shirui and Li Zuzhi, were preparing to raise troops for the Northern Expedition, so the entire Beijing division was under martial law, and I don't know how long this martial law will last." ”

Wang Yongan shook his head and said: "Impossible, it is impossible for the four towns of Jiangbei to go on a northern expedition, because the assassination happened at eleven o'clock last night, even if the four towns of Jiangbei get the news, they will not be able to go on a northern expedition today." It should be a false rumor, don't believe it, Jiangbei will not go on a northern expedition for the time being. ”

Suo Ling'er hurriedly asked, "How do you know?" Are you one of the Assassins? ”

Wang Yongan shook his head and said, "How can I, a scholar, be an assassin?" Look at my bones, I'm not suitable for shooting and being a killer. ”

Suo Ling'er pouted and said: "That's not necessarily, either you are the assassin's dog-headed military master, I think what you said is the way, but all dog-headed military advisors have this ability." ”

Wang Yongan broke out in a cold sweat and said angrily: "I'm not a dog-headed military advisor. ”

"Oh, although you are a disciple, at least you are not a hypocrite." Suo Ling'er pouted and nodded, a natural look, looking extremely cute.

Wang Yongan couldn't help but laugh when he looked at Suo Ling'er, who was a little cute, he closed the door again and thought carefully about how to get out of the current predicament. Suo Ling'er simply stood aside and looked at him, guessing the identity and experience of this person in her heart.

Fortunately, now Suo Ling'er has no heart to trust him, and Xizi's father and son will not take the initiative to harm him, but now that Jingshi is under martial law, he is afraid that he will be attacked if he wants to go out, and although there is no Northern Expedition in Jiangbei now, since there are rumors outside about the Jiangbei Northern Expedition, that is to say, the people in Jingshi are afraid of the Jiangbei Northern Expedition, and even Yuan Shikai is worried that the Jiangbei Northern Army will really rebel.

Last month, military funds were allocated to the four army divisions of the National Defense Army in Jiangbei, and if the four divisions in Jiangbei rebelled this month, Yuan Shikai would have made a loss-making deal.

Wang Yongan is most worried about the revenge of the lower-level soldiers of the Beiyang Army against him, and the politicians and warlord leaders of the Beiyang Army naturally know their importance, but many of the lower-level officers have been defeated by Jiangbei, and even their relatives and friends have been killed by the Jiangbei Army, and they are very likely to shoot themselves with black guns, so he cannot seek help from the Beiyang Army at this time.

So Wang Yongan decided to wait, first, to make Beiyang anxious, and second, to see how many people remained loyal to the Jiangbei group after his assassination this time. If Wang Yongan wants to fight for a better position in the central government in the future, he needs the assistance of absolutely loyal people, and these absolutely loyal people will only stand up when he is in danger.

With a long sigh, Wang Yongan said: "Miss Ling'er, don't worry, I will definitely rescue your father, but I have a piece of advice that is not worth talking about." ”

Suo Ling'er hurriedly said: "You said, as long as you rescue my father, I will listen to any suggestions." ”

Wang Yongan said: "In the next thirty or forty years, the head of the city of Beijing Shihui will change the banner of the king, and today Yuan Shikai is in charge, but I don't know who is in charge in a few years." Once a warlord enters the capital from other places, they will no longer let the Xuantong Emperor (Puyi) concede the state like Yuan Shikai, they will only forcibly occupy the capital. Even if the battle is defeated, it is possible to slaughter the Jingshi, just like Dong Zhuo burned Luoyang City, burning and looting in the Jingshi. So for the sake of safety, you'd better not stay in Jingshi, although the house is an ancestral heirloom, but if your family is gone, what is the use of the house. The house was robbed and burned, and it could be recaptured and rebuilt, but when the people were gone, there was really nothing. ”

Suo Ling'er covered her cherry mouth, her face was full of horror, and she asked anxiously, "You didn't lie to me, did you?" You're not Duan Zhigui's accomplice, help him fool me, right? ”

Wang Yongan smiled bitterly: "What did I lie to you, if I were Duan Zhigui, I would directly find someone to pretend to be a gangster to kidnap you, and then threaten your father to sell the house, wouldn't it be easier?" ”

Suo Ling'er said: "Of course not, I still have my brother, the family house is to be left to my brother, even if you help me, you can't take away my brother's house." ”

"I'm just making a parable, and it's the same if I help your brother." Wang Yongan said, he took out some broken silver and said, "You go get some food, and we will discuss carefully how to rescue your father." ”

Suo Ling'er was very anxious, where was he willing to collect the money, so he went home to make some meals, and came to Xizi's house through the courtyard gate, after Wang Yongan and the three of them ate, Suo Ling'er eagerly asked for a way to rescue his father, Wang Yongan had enough to eat and had the strength, so he said his own way, and when martial law was lifted, he would go to Zhang Jian, Minister of Industry and Commerce of the Cabinet, he and Zhang Jian were both from Jiangbei, the two were acquaintances, Zhang Jian would definitely give him a face to help him rescue people.

"Your solution is to find someone." Suo Ling'er was very disappointed.

Xizi hurriedly asked, "Brother Jiang, what do you do?" ”

Wang Yongan hurriedly said: "Don't call me big brother, you look more than 20 years older than me." ”

Suo Ling'er pursed her lips and giggled, and said, "Cousin, you do look older. ”

Xizi was depressed and said, "I'm just asking, Brother Jiang, what are you doing?" Does that mean you're a smuggler? How do you know Master Zhang, he is a dignified minister of industry and commerce, if this is in the previous dynasty, but he is a member of the first rank. ”

Wang Yongan said: "Why, smugglers are not worthy of being friends with first-class officials?" ”

"Of course, people are officials, you are a thief." Suo Ling'er said.

"You guys, you have long hair and short knowledge." Wang Yongan shook his head and said, "He and I are not only friends, but also business partners, and we smuggle together." ”

"So you're rich?" Kiko asked hurriedly.

Wang Yongan said: "So you know that if you betray me, not only will you not get any money, but you will be killed and killed, but if you help me, you will be grateful." ”

Xizi nodded violently and said: "I understand, I understand, I'm not stupid, if the words of those soldiers in the Beiyang Army really believe it, then I will live in vain for twenty-six years, as for the Gong Guards-bah, but some of the previous broken houses have been co-opted, and now they are going to ride on the heads of our banner people to make a fortune, and my grandmother will ...... him."

The situation outside was more complicated, so Wang Yongan stayed in Xizi's house for a while, and during this period, the soldiers of the Beiyang Army came to search, Suo Ling'er took him back to his home to hide, and the Beiyang Army went to Suo's house to search, Suo Ling'er took him back to Xizi's house to hide, and after hiding for two days, the soldiers on the street finally withdrew, and the Jingshi was no longer under martial law.
