Chapter 376: Nirvana

The fragrance of osmanthus flowers in August, the season is approaching the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the pastry shops in Jinan City put out the moon cakes early and are ready to sell. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info sell fresh goods, and also carry large baskets and small baskets of apples, ducks and pears to the city to catch the festival. Zhao Gongbao has been governor of Shandong for two years, and the whole Shandong is rich and the people are rich, and in Jinan City, there are more and more people who can put a few plates of fruits and a plate of snacks on this festival.

Due to competition, under the leadership of JENSEN & Co., some foreign merchants in Jinan also had to distribute these festival items to Chinese employees, so the fruit sold very well. On a large cart, hundreds of baskets were pulled, and all kinds of fresh goods were placed in them. The driver was a tall and burly man, with a Ma Lianpo straw hat buttoned on his head, covering half of his face, and a homespun trouser gown, which was covered with patches.

Guarding the city gate were four uniformed police inspectors, stopping the car to collect taxes as usual, and then looked at the big man, "This gentleman, according to our Zhao Futai's order, Shandong implements the province's health activities, you are old, but you don't comply with the rules." In this way, to the north of the city, there is a Yuhua Pool bathhouse, where it is cheapest to take a bath, a few big children, ensure that they are clean, and then get a haircut, which is better than anything else. If you do this when you're out of town, we'll be fined. ”

Dahan was not a man who liked words, so he only nodded, indicating that he knew, lowered his head, and drove the carriage into the city. He didn't drive the car to the designated fruit and vegetable market in the city, nor did he go to the tooth shop, but went around the bush and arrived at a small shop in the corner of the city.

The scale of this inn is very small, even the shopkeeper with the guy is only two people, seeing him coming, only nodded, the guy took the car, and the shopkeeper accompanied the person who came, and went straight to the cabinet room.

"Liu Da is in charge, is it still smooth to enter the city? Those talons, don't you smell anything, do you? ”

"Brother Ma, don't worry, I have also walked this road a few times, and they can't detect anything. The three guns were all hidden in the fruit basket, and unless they were searched one by one, it would be difficult to find them. Let's close the store first, and then talk about it. ”

This shopkeeper is also an Angzang man, if Feng Xi is here, he can recognize at a glance that this shopkeeper is his brother Ma Guojie. And his buddy is Tiehu, who has a marriage contract with Fengxi, and the man who sells fruits is Liu Yonghe, Liu Danzi, who was in the turmoil outside the Guan.

Ma Guojie shook his head and said, "No." On such a day, Jinan has the most patrols, these people have many eyes, and they are also very vigilant, I close the store on such a lively day, they must suspect that I have a problem here, but to attract ghosts to the door. In front of the Iron Tiger brothers, they said that there was no house, but there was nothing wrong. ”

Liu Danzi nodded and said, "That's fine." I've been waiting for this day for two years, and I don't want to be ruined by these talons. This dog officer owes hundreds of lives to my loyal army, and this debt has not been settled with him, this time, it must be settled clearly. ”

Ma Guojie said: "This dog official's matter is not limited to this case. Last year, we took advantage of the autumn exercise in Taihu Lake to launch an uprising in Anqing. It was he who heard the rumors in advance, and the troops carried bullets and silver dollars when they moved, and with these two weapons they suppressed our uprising, killing hundreds of our comrades. Not to mention this, in the past two years, he has built railways in Shandong, engaged in river work, and fooled the people. He also set up newspapers to anesthetize his compatriots in public opinion, and more and more people just wanted to live a good life and did not want to rise up to overthrow Daikin. Our situation is very serious, the work is not easy to carry out, and there is not much progress in the fifth town and the mixed association. ”

At this time, Tiehu has come back from the outside, this store is located in a remote location, even if Jinan City is now densely populated, but there are few guests who live here, and the small shop has been losing money to operate. Tiehu used to be the second pole of the cottage, he was a hard-nosed man, and he had to bow his head to pay careful to talk about small things when he opened a store, and he was already impatient, so he threw his handkerchief on the table at this time.

"**** mother, the surname Jia is a bad race. If you want him to start an uprising, he doesn't dare, if you want him to get us a few guns, he doesn't dare, you say, what can he do. Look at the current situation in Jiangnan, and then look at us, one day at a time, I am really afraid that I will not have the face to see our comrades in the future. ”

Liu Danzi said: "Brother Tiehu, you can't say that, the things in the south are big, but the price paid is not small." Mr. Xu assassinated Governor Enming, not only himself, but even the Jianhu Woman, who was also victimized. The Anqing uprising was extinguished by the fifth town, and hundreds of our colleagues were lost. In the past two years, we have failed several uprisings, and we have shed enough blood. The enemy is strong and I am weak, and this business cannot be done nonsense. I went north this time on the orders of Boss Tan to assassinate Zhao Guanhou. As long as he is killed, the real power of the Fifth Town will fall into the hands of General Jia, and when the time comes, with the assistance of the modern army of the Fifth Town, our great plan will definitely be achieved. ”

When Tie Hu heard Zhao Guanhou's name, his expression was distorted, and he gritted his teeth, "Wang Ba Lif!" I wanted to him a long time ago, but my eldest brother wouldn't let me, saying that if I can't bear it, I will make a big plan. But every day I think that I eat under the rule of that deflated calf, and my heart is on fire. Brother Liu, this time, it's not safe for you to go alone, I'll accompany you. ”

"No, whether this thing is successful or not, there is no return, and it is enough for me to have one victim. You two have to stay here and do more important work, and you can't make meaningless sacrifices. I brought you weapons, it was Boss Tan who meant, saying that you two are in danger, but you don't have weapons to defend yourself, which is not true. But you don't want to be involved in the assassination, just help me get the raw materials for fried eggs. ”

Tiehu grabbed Liu Danzi's hand and said: "Brother Liu, you have to live well, we can swear that we will live well, build a new country in the future, and drive all foreign devils out of China." When the time comes, we'll have to drink together. ”

Liu Danzi shook his head, "My bowl of wine, brother, you drink it for me, I can't drink it." At the beginning outside the Guan, my brother and I were loyal to the righteous army, and I thought I was a character. As a result, when I arrived in Huguang and met Mr. Song's gang, I realized that I was very wrong. Who are the loyal and righteous soldiers? It's Tartar. Helping them with a big nose is tantamount to aiding and abetting abuse, and defeating them is also self-inflicted. Now that I have figured it out, if we live, we have to be a man who stands up to the sky and the earth and stands up for our own people. Do your part to overthrow this court. But to do this, there is no one who does not lose his head and does not die, and he is afraid of death, so he can't walk this path. Brother Tiehu hasn't married a daughter-in-law yet, and Brother Ma is still single, you can't die, you have to go, I'm in the head. Don't fight with me about this, it's an order from your superiors. ”

As he spoke, he took off his coat and picked out several patches with a needle, each of which was sewn with some banknotes, which were crumpled and soaked in sweat in some places. Carefully flatten the banknote, and saw that it was printed with the head of a Dajin official wearing a robe, which was King Chengfeng, and the face value of the banknote was ten taels. This was part of Daikin's New Deal, which issued banknotes called silver bills, which acted like bills of exchange, and could be exchanged for silver or silver dollars in Tongqu Dayeup. A few banknotes add up, about eighty taels.

Liu Danzi smiled embarrassedly, "The organizational funds are also very tight, and I know that it is not easy for the two of you to maintain a store here, so I scraped together to get some funds." It took some money to take a car on the road, and some of these fruits were bought, and Gan Geming was different from the mixed green forest in the past, and he was not allowed to rob the people, so he didn't get any money if he didn't do business along the way, and he couldn't live with the two. ”

Ma Guojie shook his head and said: "Don't say that, it's difficult for everyone, for the sake of the country, we should pay more." Big brother, I've prepared the fried egg ingredients you want, let's discuss where to act. This action, Tiehu and I, must participate. ”

The so-called raw materials for fried eggs are just some explosives, plus two iron cans. The management of hand-held ammunition in the Shandong army was strict, Ma Guojie couldn't buy it, and Jia Maoqing refused to steal it out to him, so he had to make local goods by himself. Ma Guojie was a little embarrassed and ashamed of his poor work.

"I bought it from Shandong railway workers, and it's very difficult. Their bombing management is too strict, and it has already cost a lot of money and effort to come up with this. The point is that those workers are treated very well, so that they can't see the situation clearly, and they don't know that they are serving the foreign devils and helping them to plunder China's wealth. On the contrary, I think it is good to have a job, food and wages, so I don't support our career. Buying fried wanted this, and it wasted a lot of time, and it was almost exposed. ”

Liu Danzi said: "It's good to have these two." I only use one shot to kill people, and in the past two years, I have practiced marksmanship diligently, and one bullet is enough to solve this dog officer. Two fried eggs, just to scare the guards. According to the experience in the south, those guards are all to scare the common people, and as soon as they see the fried eggs, they all run away, which is better than shooting. ”

Ma Guojie said: "Brother Liu, the experience in the south may not work in the north, the soldiers in the fifth town are very powerful, and they are also very supportive of the surname Zhao, they may not be afraid of fried eggs." ”

"Always give it a try, even if he's not afraid of fried eggs, I have a way. By the way, brother, do you have any decent clothes, I'll change it, go outside and find a suitable place. ”

It is very difficult for this small shop to even maintain, and Ma Guojie has no savings in his hands, and he has no decent clothes. With great effort, he finally found a half-new robe and a small hat, and after Liu Danzi changed it, he walked out of the store.

What he didn't explain to Tiehu and the others was that he didn't want to implicate these two comrades, and every soldier with a heart for Ge Ming was a valuable property that could not be wasted. One person is enough. This time, he was not simply picking the road, but planning to act.

He had been to Jinan several times before, and he had a general understanding of the situation in the city, and knew several places that Zhao Guanhou often visited. One is the barracks, the other is the Yamen, and then there is the Jinan branch of Siheng, the Jinan branch of Huabi Bank and Jensen Foreign Bank, and then there is Shandong University and Shandong Women's Normal University and Shandong Patrol Road Yamen.

Among them, the easiest places to start are Huabi Bank and Siheng, but these two places, he does not often go, and it is not easy to find the opportunity. The next best thing is Shandong Women's Normal University.

There are both young and beautiful female students and beautiful female teachers, and it is said that it is the daily hunting place of the governor. Nearby Albion-owned bars, as well as new cinemas and Prussian inns, were his escapes.

Men in this kind of place are always the least guarded, Liu Danzi believes that as long as he does not have too many guards around him, with his own marksmanship, it is enough to kill with one shot.

As for the escape route after the killing, he never thought that Gan Geming was not a ringing horse, and since he had done it, he already had the intention of sacrificing. As long as this governor reigns for one day, Shandong's cause will inevitably be affected, and as long as he can establish the ideal country that Mr. Song said they said, what does it matter if he sacrifices himself.

Along the way, there was shouting and shouting, and it was the vendors who went into the city to do business, trying to sell their goods. Sugar fried chestnuts exude fragrance, and next to it is a steamed bun seller, shouting in a loud voice unique to Shandong people, "Eat steamed buns, eat steamed buns, bite out a calf......"

On both sides of the road are the most poles, which are part of the new policy of Shandong, the establishment of the Shandong Electric Power Company, the joint venture of the government, business and foreign shares, in which the Bank of Warby has a large share. That Mrs. Jenson, relying on this power plant alone, is equivalent to raising a hen that can only lay golden eggs...... This traitor! Liu Yonghe looked at those poles, and his hatred for Zhao Guanhou increased a little more.

The pedestrians on the road have their faces still gone, there are not many patches on their clothes, and their mental outlook is relatively good, because of the approaching holiday, most of them have smiles on their faces. Some ordinary women wearing home-woven trousers and gowns also carefully selected food in front of the stalls and bargained with the merchants. There are a lot of foreigners on the road, this is a scene in Jinan, wherever you go, you can see foreigners, a large number of foreign companies, the emergence of companies, so that Shandong has almost become the second Songjiang, fortunately, Liu Danzi saw more foreigners in Songjiang, but there is no fuss.

There are too many police checks on the street, which is the most inconvenient thing for Liu Danzi, of course, these people do not carry guns, so they do not pose a threat to him. But if a police officer pounces on him when he pulls out his gun, it will be troublesome.

The people of Shandong are still martial, but after Zhao Guanhou became the governor, the most important one of the new laws was to strictly prohibit private fights, and the handling of brawls was extremely strict, and fines were imposed at every turn, and even sent to the river railway as coolies, causing the common people to dare not speak loudly on the street. Most of those patrols are set up to deter thieves, and they should have nothing to do with themselves. Liu Danzi thought so, thinking about how to find a safe opportunity to kill with one shot.

"Fengxi, I want to eat this." A little boy pointed to the sugar-fried chestnuts with a milky voice and issued an order, wearing a Lu silk cheongsam, Feng Xi with beaded hair, hearing this boy call himself like this, he felt a sour feeling in his heart. She whispered, "Call me Mommy." If you don't call me Mom, I won't take you out next time. Call me mom and I'll buy it for you. ”

Feng Xi smiled and teased the little boy, but he didn't want the boy to have a seizure because he couldn't get the food he wanted, "You are bad...... If you don't buy me fruit, and you want me to call you mother, you are a bad person. I'm going to tell Mom and let her get rid of you! I also have to tell Mother Feng and Mother Mei to let the mothers beat you! ”

This milk name is naughty, and the boy named Jingci is the son born by Feng Xi for Zhao Guanhou, and he is also the only male in the Zhao family. Because of this, he is used to lawlessness at home, and he is not afraid of this maid at all.

Although Su Hanzhi asked him to call himself Fengxi's mother, Jingci insisted on only calling Fengxi. Hearing that the son he gave birth to was going to drive him away, Feng Xi only felt a sour heart, and his eyes were blurry, and he wiped his tears with a handkerchief. At the moment when she put down her handkerchief, a familiar figure walked in front of her eyes.

At first, she didn't dare to hesitate, thinking that she had recognized the wrong person, and she was in a daze there, but her little hand had already begun to grab her hair, "I want to eat...... Buy it for me. ”

Feng Xi was in pain, but because of this pain, he remembered who the other party was. How did he come to Jinan? She was shocked, and hurriedly turned around and beckoned the little maid who came out with her, "Take the eldest young master back to the house, quickly." ”

"Sister Fengxi, why are you going?"

"You don't care about this, take the young master back quickly, and tell Madame that the master is in danger, and someone wants to be unfavorable to the master. Hurry up and send troops to protect the master! ”

Pushing Jingci into the hands of the little maid, Feng Xi wiped her tears while attaching Liu Danzi from behind. Although she gave birth to a son and her status in the house has been greatly improved, she is still just a girl and not an aunt, she works every day, and she has not put down her kung fu.

The direction is...... Normal university? Zhao Guanhou sent her to study in it for a year, and she was very familiar with this place. Thinking of the few times he walked along the boulevard with Zhao Guanhou, and when he shyly put on his student uniform, Zhao Guanhou pounced on himself. Feng Xi only felt that her heart was beating extremely fast, and she was for her wife...... For the sake of the lady...... I don't love him myself. She kept hinting to herself that she didn't care at all, she was unarmed, and the usual iron rod was impossible to take with her son when she took her son out to play.

After nearly twenty minutes of tracking, Liu Danzi was very alert, and Feng Xi was familiar with geography and did not arouse the suspicion of this old Jianghu. Seeing that he had arrived outside Shandong Women's Normal University, he saw Zhao Guanhou's big white horse tied to the outside of the school, obviously he was indeed here today. I just don't know, is he here to find the Capetian music teacher, or the new Albiang teacher, or the Jade Beauty Principal Jade?

Feng Xi thought wildly, but saw that Liu Danzi was already looking around, obviously looking for a suitable ambush location. In the vicinity of the Women's Normal University, there is no police check, only a guard at the door. That's a kind of goods, and it can't deal with a thief like Liu Danzi at all. Feng Xi was anxious, Guanhou came to this kind of place, he didn't bring guards......

She touched her head and touched the hairpin on her head, this is the jewelry that Guanhou bought for herself last year, and he has not given himself anything for a long time. But he is the father of his own son, and that is enough. She pulled out the hairpin and quietly leaned towards Liu Danzi. didn't know that Liu Danzi, an old Jianghu, had already discovered her. Just as she recognized Liu Danzi, Liu Danzi also recognized Feng Xi.

This watery woman took care of her for the Iron Tiger brothers! Liu Danzi made a decision in his heart and decided to kill one more before he died, but shooting outside would inevitably cause a commotion, and the assassination would not be successful.

At this time, vaguely, two figures, a man and a woman, snuggled together and walked out of the campus, and there were only a handful of men who could enter the women's normal school, and only one swaggered out with beauty. He didn't want to let this opportunity go away, he couldn't use a gun at this time, only a knife, and as a horse thief, he always had a dagger on his body. Just as Feng Xi quietly approached him, Liu Danzi's hand also pressed on the handle of the knife, and the moment Feng Xi leaned over, the knife had been pulled out, the knife light flickered, and blood splashed.
