Wu Xiangzhen, the commander of the Fourth Mixed Brigade stationed in Yucheng, was assassinated at the gate of the Yucheng Hotel!

When the news came out, Yucheng was shocked.

It is said that Wu Xiangzhen was very seriously injured and lay in the British hospital for treatment, and his life was in danger.

But in fact, Wu Xiangzhen was not injured at all.

"Brigadier, the British doctor says you're fine."

"Yes, I know." Wu Xiangzhen, who was lying on the hospital bed, nodded with a gloomy face: "As soon as the gun went off, I fell down." I'm going to make those who try to assassinate me think I've been shot! Has the murderer been caught? ”

"Not yet, it's being hunted all over the city." Confidant Yao Guichan responded: "There are already some traces at the scene, and I am instructing the police chief to make every effort to investigate and solve the case within a time limit!" ”

Wu Xiangzhen sneered: "You can't count on those policemen, Yucheng Police Chief Ying Fuyang is Liu Cunhou's person"

Yao Guichan was stunned: "Could it be that the brigade commander thinks that Liu Cunhou did it?" ”

"Suspicion." Wu Xiangzhen sat up from the hospital bed: "I was ordered by the president to come to deal with the Sichuan army, and the first knife was slashed at Peng Guanglie and Liu Cunhou, Peng Guanglie stepped down, but Liu Cunhou is still there, his fourth division has become the second division, and the strength is less than half, if you want to say jealousy, no one hates me more than him." Besides, since my Fourth Mixed Brigade was stationed in Yucheng, he has been restrained by us at every turn, and it is false to say that he does not want to kill me. ”

Yao Guichan nodded frequently after listening, and Wu Xiangzhen pondered for a while: "There are two other people who may also kill me." One is Hu Jingyi, the governor of Sichuan, but his possibility is not very large. Another"

He was silent: "Wang Hengyue! ”

"Wang Hengyue?" Yao Guichan was taken aback: "This is unlikely, right?" Wang Hengyue"

Wu Xiangzhen waved his hand: "Guichan, Wang Hengyue is not a simple person, he is there everywhere to be on guard, everywhere to deal with, he has been staring at Yucheng for a day or two." But now Yucheng has my Beiyang forces, Liu Cunhou's forces, and Hu Jingyi's forces, what should I do? It's best to provoke an infighting between us, and he, Wang Hengyue, will be able to benefit from the fisherman! ”

"The Brigadier is wise." Yao Guichan said repeatedly.

There was a gentle knock on the door outside, Yao Guichan walked over and opened the door, whispered a few words to the person who knocked on the door, and closed the door again: "Brigade commander, it's not Wang Hengyue, it's not Hu Jingyi, it's Liu Cunhou!" ”

"Oh, what, eyebrows?"

"Yes!" Yao Guichan nodded: "We traced the clues, chased them all the way, and almost caught the murderer in a house in the north of the city, but he jumped out of the window and ran away, but someone recognized the murderer, he was under Qi Shousan, the helmsman of the robe brother Xinzi banner in the north of the city!" ”

"Qi Shousan?" Wu Xiangzhen frowned.

"Yes. This man was knocked off the stage for molesting his brother's wife. Our people then went straight to Qi Shousan's house, but Qi Shousan was also gone, and asked his mother-in-law, where do you guess he took a few people? ”

Wu Xiangzhen closed his eyes and thought for a while, then suddenly opened his eyes: "Leshan? ”

"Yes! His mother-in-law said that he left a thousand yuan of ocean for the family, and after asking repeatedly, Qi Shousan told his mother-in-law that someone paid 3,000 yuan for a person's life! He has to go to Leshan! ”

"Okay, okay, both sides will do it together, kill me first, and then kill Wang Hengyue, this Yucheng is his Liu Cunhou!" Wu Xiangzhen sneered.

"Brigadier Commander, do you want to be the first to do it?"

"No!" Wu Xiangzhen stretched out his hand: "Wait a little longer, take a look at the situation in Leshan, order my Fourth Brigade to assemble secretly, prepare for military action at any time, and send a telegram to the president to inform him of what is happening here!" ”

"Yes!"

Wu Xiangzhen has to wait, he is not sure if Qi Shousan really went to Leshan to kill Wang Hengyue, he must completely rule out the possibility of Wang Hengyue killing himself, and he must be sure that Wang Hengyue and himself are on the same front!

"Heng Shuai, Heng Shuai!"

There was an enthusiastic cry around, and an old man came over with a few juniors, took out a cigarette pouch, and didn't treat Wang Hengyue as an outsider: "Hengshuai, why do you say you're here again?" I heard that you have a cold, and you have to recuperate, running around all the time, what if you get sick again? ”

"yes, yes." There was a chorus of echo all around.

"It's okay." Wang Hengyue said with a smile: "Occasionally, I had a fever, and then I called the German doctor to see it, took two pills, slept under the quilt, and it was fine." ”

"Eat, eat."

When the old man heard this voice, he hurriedly said to Wang Hengyue: "Hengshuai, you haven't eaten yet, let's go, let's eat together, there is meat today." ”

"Give me the fattest one." Wang Hengyue said with a smile.

A large bowl of hot rice, covered with a large fat piece of oily meat, which was fat, only with some lean meat attached to the top. The people were really grateful to Wang Hengyue, treating him as the most valuable guest, and giving him the best piece of meat.

"Yes." Wang Hengyue ordered some meat: "Your food here is almost catching up with ours." ”

The old man smiled and said: "Don't mention it, we were busy here, who would have thought that a wild boar came out of nowhere, maybe it was forced out by the flood some time ago, and a few descendants in the village looked at it, their eyes were straight, and they went to hunt wild boars with a roar. ”

"Well, no wonder I smelled a smell of meat in Leshan, it turned out to be wafting out of you."

Wang Hengyue's words made the surroundings laugh, and after a few mouthfuls of rice, Wang Hengyue asked: "How is it, the reconstruction is still going well?" Is there enough money? ”

"Heng Shuai, to be honest, the money is still a little worse." The old man didn't hide it: "But the big guys are content, you said that all dynasties and dynasties, how can there be anything like us?" This is the disaster, and the subsidy will come down on the spot? Contentment, is really contentment, the big guys are thinking about your goodness again, saying that you must make up money to build a shrine for you! ”

There was also someone on the side who said: "Yes, Hengshuai, I heard that the whole of Sichuan is like this in southern Sichuan, and the preparations made in advance are sufficient, and the losses are minimal." In other places, the officials did not pay attention. My relatives have come to us. Hengshuai is so good to us, we all think of Hengshuai's good! ”

Wang Hengyue's chopsticks stopped, and his brows tightened: "No, the money is not enough?" According to the head of each family, each household can get six yuan, and it is more than four taels of silver. After the resumption of production, the town guard embassy came to find a way to solve it, how could it not be enough? ”

The old man and his companions around him glanced at each other, and hurriedly said: "Enough, enough, Hengshuai, you see, we are not greedy, are we?" Always wanting to take more"

"That's not right! Wrong! Wang Hengyue interrupted them: "You tell me the truth, how much money did you get." ”

Seeing that the old man and the people were silent, Wang Hengyue put down the bowl: "If you want to be my Hengshuai or the town guard here, tell me honestly, how much have you got!" ”

The old man was a little bolder: "Heng Shuai, really, we didn't get so many, the highest one, got three yuan octagonal." ”

Wang Hengyue's face was gloomy: "Let the person in charge here get here to get here!" ”

"Yes!" Huang Zixuan responded and left in a hurry.

"Heng Shuai." The old man hurriedly said: "Actually, we are really good, you"

Wang Hengyue waved his hand and interrupted him, but he didn't necessarily get angry, but fell into deep thought: "You said, this is all a disaster, why is it still like this?" Move life-saving money? I don't know if any of these people have their last names. I just killed a Cheng Meihai, but it was only a few days, and then there was another accident? Are these people really not afraid to kill? ”

Wang Qinglu on the side sighed softly: "Heng Shuai, kill, you are not afraid of corrupt officials." How strong is Zhu Yuanzhang's anti-corruption efforts, and how severe is the criminal law? The whole family is connected, peeling and standing. But only a batch of them were killed here, and there were corrupt officials over there. In the end, he did not kill all the corrupt officials, but killed more and more. He is not afraid of you killing corrupt officials, but in the face of the temptation of silver, the threat of losing his head has become smaller, in fact, it has been the case throughout the ages! ”

Wang Hengyue nodded slightly, and Wang Qinglu continued:

"What's more, most of our low-level officials are officials from the former Qing Dynasty, otherwise there are really not enough manpower. These people are used to being officials of the former Qing Dynasty, and they are used to the set of officialdom, not to mention silver, even if a piece of pig iron passes in front of them, they have to scrape off a layer of iron filings, Heng Shuai wants to expect them not to be greedy, but they are just greedy and smaller. ”

"Makes sense." Wang Hengyue held his chin with his hand: "As soon as the flood passes, I will send someone to investigate, some of the river embankments have been carefully reinforced, so the ability to resist floods is strong, and the local losses are small, but some are simply paper paste, like the Shaping section, Cheng Meihai is simply taking the lives of the common people as a child's play!" I've already arrested a batch, locked up a batch, and killed the last batch. But Huai Zhaona, as you said, just killing can't solve the problem! ”

At this time, an official hurriedly ran behind Huang Zixuan, and hurriedly said as soon as he arrived in front of him: "Jiang'an Governor Lu Jianhou has seen the town guard!" ”

"Governor Lu, come, sit and talk." Unexpectedly, Wang Hengyue did not get angry as soon as he came up, but clicked in front of him and said lightly.

Lu Jianhou didn't know why the town guard envoy came suddenly, let alone what was the matter with calling him in such a hurry, so he sat down carefully.

Wang Hengyue glanced at him, and saw that his two trouser legs were rolled up, although he was wearing shoes, but there were bare feet inside, and they were all sludge, and asked, "What is Governor Lu doing just now?" ”

"Go back to the town guard envoy, command the dredging in Gao Wen, hear the call of the town guard envoy, and come immediately, so the clothes are disheveled, there is a loss of manners, and I ask the town guard to forgive the sins." Lu Jianhou said respectfully.

"Oh, with the people in dredging?" Wang Hengyue nodded, looked at the person opposite, smiled, and said slowly:

"Compared to other places, you can be regarded as a good official!"
