"And then in the wee hours of the morning, those Prussians, lost all their money?" In the small shoe shop, Zhao Guanhou talked about playing poker, and Jiang Fengzhi and Su Hanzhi were fascinated.

Especially Jiang Fengzhi, as soon as he heard the number of 10,000 marks, he was already dumbfounded, and when he heard that Zhao Guanhou won all this 10,000 marks in only two hours, so that several Prussians could not get off the stage, he admired it even more. couldn't help but interject: "Then why did you return all the money to them again?" If you won it, it should be yours. ”

"After all, there are a few Prussians, and one is the nephew of the consul general of Qingdao, so it's not good to lose face, let them sue to help go home, and this Liang Zi will die. In fact, it is just a few children who don't know the height of the sky, so there is no need to be knowledgeable. Their hearts are not too bad, they just feel embarrassed and want to get back the scene. I didn't dare to use force, I couldn't compare with others, so I had to think about winning all my money and embarrassing me. Bassen's foreign adviser, although he seems to be sanctimonious, is actually a gambler. At first, he just watched, but then he couldn't help but get off the field, although his salary was high, but he also lost a lot, if even his won it, it would not be good. ”

Zhao Guanhou spoke, picked up the stack of silver tickets with the prefix of Heng on the table and shook it, "In fact, Lord Yuan also supports me in doing this, which is called cutting tofu with two sides." Let them know that they can't win, and then send the money back, leaving a way back, and everyone will have face. If he still wants to make trouble, I will accompany him, but after suffering such a big hardship, they also learned to be obedient and dare not mess around. Lord Yuan didn't let me suffer, gave me three days off, and took a thousand taels of silver tickets from the grain table to me, which I think is quite appropriate. ”

At present, one or two Kuping silver in Dajin is equivalent to more than three Prussian marks, and ten thousand marks is almost more than three thousand taels of silver. One thousand taels of silver plus three days of vacation almost made up for the loss, which shows that Yuan Weiting was extremely satisfied with Zhao Guanhou's disposal methods.

The new army is not as good as the school, the location is in Xinnong Town, there is a certain distance from Jinmen, and it is not easy to go back and forth. Moreover, as a rule, there is no holiday for being a soldier, and it is even more difficult to be in the camp during the New Year's holidays than it was in the past when I could see my wife once a week. For Zhao Guanhou, staying with Su Hanzhi for three days was more important than those marks, and this exchange was very profitable in his opinion.

When he became an official, he had already sent someone home to deliver a letter and some money. But when he really came back in an official uniform, the small shoe shop still blew up. Some neighbors who walk around very lightly on weekdays also come over as if they were looking at rare objects, to see what is called a court official. The people and horses in the pot gang and the fellow members of the Cao gang also came over to congratulate him with wine.

A seven-rank military attache is already a high-ranking existence for this slum. In the past, the pot guy who called him a brother and a brother, when he saw Zhao Guanhou far away, he was about to kneel down and call his lord, and when Hou Xing came to deliver the account, he couldn't even say anything. It had to be Zhao Guanhou who comforted him to give him a little bottom.

Several leading elders of the Cao Gang have seen many officials, and even in the official mansion, there are many people in the gang. But being able to be a Goshha next to Yuan Weiting of the new army cannot be judged purely by grade. You must know that there are also red-top officers such as deputy generals and general soldiers who are beside the governor and Jiang Chen, and the picture is close to the chief officer, and it is easy to promote. Such confidants, the future is limitless, where can I underestimate it.

Therefore, when he came back, he only said that the winning money was fake, and before he could ask Su Blind about his condition, several dragon leaders came over one after another to celebrate him.

On weekdays, there are few ghosts in the dry field at home, and due entertainment is indispensable, and Zhao Guanhou also feels that the small shoe shop is no longer suitable for him to live in, and he wants to change houses. It's good to entrust this group of people to help me ask and find a suitable place. Naturally, the group couldn't eat at the small shoe shop, so they called a car and arrived at the Zhuangyuan Building.

Several senior brothers of the etiquette generation pushed the cup and changed the lamp, and the words were very respectful, and some people talked about the women in the Jinmen festival now, and the most mentioned was really Sai Jinhua. Her title as the champion lady and the name that she can make friends with the minister have been spread, and some people even falsely rumored that she is a foreigner.

If you can stay with her for a while, it will also be a foreign meat. These dragon heads are still discussing, whether to make a sum of money and invite Zhao Guanhou to sit there, with his appearance, he will definitely be able to stay overnight.

Zhao Guanhou was a little crying and laughing, but on the surface, he still had to express his gratitude. A few people were talking about it, and suddenly a red shadow rushed in from outside like a whirlwind, and one hand grabbed Zhao Guanhou's arm and pulled him out. While pulling, he said: "Senior brother, come with me, something happened, someone wants to cut off my father's head!" ”

came, naturally, it was Jiang Fengzhi. Naturally, she couldn't go to the restaurant with this group of people to eat, so she was at home with Su Hanzhi. But I didn't know that in such a short period of time, something big happened. Zhao Guanhou hurriedly took her hand, "Senior sister, don't panic first, take a sip of tea and calm down, what the hell is going on, who wants to cut off Master's head?" ”

Several leaders of the Cao Gang didn't have much friendship with Jiang Fengzhi, but Zhao Guanhou had this attitude, so they immediately echoed, "That's right, Miss Jiang, don't be afraid, Jinmen ground, is there anything we can't do?" Whoever is so bold and dares to go against Master Jiang, we will call the disciple protégé and beat him to forget the bastard. ”

"It's not...... It's not a fight on the street, it's the government...... The government took my father away. Didn't he help someone a few days ago, but he didn't expect that the other head was a teacher, and now he would cause a big disaster. Guanhou, you must help me. ”

Jiang Fengzhi has always been a bold and free woman, but at this time, she looked at Zhao Guanhou with tears in her eyes, and even held his hand tightly regardless of the defense of men and women, obviously anxious. Zhao Guanhou comforted her

"Government ...... It doesn't matter. Master, he is an old man, and it is not that he has never entered the official mansion, and we also have people in the yamen, so we will not suffer. It's not once that the master has done something for someone, what kind of capital crime can he commit, the big deal is that the thing can't be done, he started to do it, and he killed someone by mistake, I asked Liu Daoyuan and Liu Ye to move his judge's pen, are you afraid that you can't save the master? ”

The leaders of the Cao Gang also smiled and said, "Yes, isn't it Jinmen County?" What's the big deal. What trouble did Master Jiang cause, after we go back, choose someone to go out and surrender to the case, and replace Master Jiang, Miss Jiang, don't worry. ”

Jiang Fengzhi saw that Zhao Guanhou was confident, and her emotions were a lot calmer, but her hand still held Zhao Guanhou's hand tightly

"Senior brother, my father is not a matter of competing with others this time, he is helping people settle a lawsuit over a field, but he didn't expect it to alarm the people of the Catholic Church. I don't mean that my father colluded with the boxers and wanted to cut him down. It's not just people in the yamen, I heard that the foreign priests are negotiating in the county yamen, and they want to bring people back to the Cape Ministry of Industry...... Shoot ......"

Speaking of this, she couldn't help crying again, "I advised my father earlier, I can't take care of this matter, he just won't listen." Now I've put myself in, I don't know anyone with ideas and abilities except for you, you must help me. ”

As soon as he heard the Catholic Church, and the Ministry of Industry of the Capet Concession was involved, the faces of several leaders of the Cao Gang also became solemn, and the atmosphere on the banquet gradually cooled from warm, and several people coughed a few times, and glanced at Zhao Guanhou, hinting that he must not be involved.

Zhao Guanhou ignored the attitude of these people, but grabbed Jiang Fengzhi's hand a little, "Senior sister, don't cry, if you have anything to say, say it slowly, you tell me what's wrong, and I'll find a way for you." I promise you, even if people are brought to the Capetian concession, I can get people out. ”

The dispute over this matter still originated from a land dispute between a Catholic church and the common people, Xiaolizhuang has 40 acres of vegetable land, which is the property of Wu Xiucai's Li Chunting family, and is adjacent to a Catholic church. The Catholic Church wanted to expand, but the field stood in the way. And the Li family has believed in Buddhism for three lifetimes, which is extremely wrong with this Catholic church, and in any case, they refused to sell this land to foreigners, so the matter was shelved.

However, not long ago, the church said that the Li family had sold the land to them, and they were going to move the boundary monument and break ground. Li Chunting led his clansmen to stop it, and there was a conflict between the two of them, and he almost used a foreign gun. After careful questioning, I found out that there was a prankster named Li Chunxuan here in Xiaoli Village, who joined the Catholic Church and became a religious citizen, and in the name of Li Chunting, dedicated the land to the church.

He was not a landlord, so naturally he had no right to contribute, but at this time in the Jin Kingdom, there was such a phenomenon of vain sacrifice in churches everywhere. The government can't afford to provoke foreigners, and the people can only admit bad luck in the end.

Li Chunting has always been strong, and he is also a strong man on the ground, so he naturally refuses to suffer this loss, and the martial arts gradually have a tendency to escalate. There are serious people in the Li family, who are worried that this matter will spread and that it will be another lesson plan, so they asked Jiang Bu to come forward and say yes, hoping to persuade Li Chunxuan to explain the matter to the foreigners.

Jiang Bucheng is very famous in Beidaguan, and his own martial arts are good, and he has done a lot of this kind of thing to settle disputes on weekdays, and he doesn't take it seriously. Although he knew that it was about the church, he also relied on his identity and prestige to suppress it, and besides, it was Li Chunxuan's fault, so in his mind, there would be no problem.

Who knew that Li Chunxuan did not fall to Jiang in the past, and only obeyed his words, but since he ate the teaching, his waist has become thicker, and his courage has grown, so he refuses to obey. He also said that this field was a family property, and he was a member of the Li family, so he also had the right to dispose of it, and finally let Jiang Buping, the mediator, also participate.

Jiang Fengzhi knew that Li Chunxuan had always been cunning, and it was not easy to provoke her, so she didn't want her father to be too involved, but her main time and energy were with Su Hanzhi, and she just said a word about family matters, which didn't make much difference. I thought that at most, it would be a big fight, and it would not be a big deal to be caught by the government and squat for a few days, but I didn't expect that a team of officers and soldiers with arquebuses would come to the door today, and tie up Jiang Bu like a horse to the county office.

Later, there was news from the ears and eyes of the yamen, saying that someone had identified that Jiang Bu had sheltered and shielded the boxers and participated in the lesson plan, and should be beheaded. The bishop of the church, Mareddin, is discussing extradition with the county magistrate at the county yamen, and as long as the matter is completed, Jiang Bu will be escorted to the Capet concession and handed over to the Ministry of Industry for processing, and the results of the handling have already been prepared; Shot!

After hearing this, several Cao gang leaders couldn't stop shaking their heads, and one of them slapped on the table, "It's too much of a bully!" These foreigners are becoming more and more lawless! First of all, the people of the church committed crimes, and the government did not let them deal with it, and asked the church to deal with it on its own. Now, what are the sins of our own people in Dajin Country, and they will also be punished by foreigners? Master Jiang...... Wronged. ”

He sighed when he said this, his expression was a little helpless, "Miss Jiang, you are not a solution, no matter how capable the people in our gang are, they can't afford to provoke foreigners." I advise you not to waste time here, or find a way to dredge the lower joints of the foreigner, and see if you can let the foreigner give a live word and don't want to die? He didn't let go, I'm afraid there is no good way to think about it. ”

Another dragon leader also said: "I want to think about the Jinmen teaching case back then, burning the church and killing foreigners, and finally the eighteen brothers of the pot gang came out to replace the top of the tank, otherwise, the Capetian people will bombard Jinmen." This matter has not been many years in the past, and the current Dajin Kingdom is the world of their foreigners, and the seven-grade military attache of the senior brother of the Guanhou has nothing to do with the foreigners. He is not Zhang Tongzhang Zhongtang, can he still convince foreigners? ”

Jiang Fengzhi actually knew that Zhao Guanhou's official body was not big enough to suppress that group of foreigners. But as she said, apart from Zhao Guanhou, she didn't know any more powerful officials, so she could only put her hopes on him. And holding his hand, she felt that she had a backbone, so she only stared at him.

"Senior brother, what do you say? Is my dad really ...... No way? ”

Zhao Guanhou shook his head when he saw her beautiful eyes with tears, "How can there be no way?" As I said, even in the Capetian Concession, I have the same way to think about it. As for the county yamen, it's even more nothing. ”

He withdrew his hand from Jiang Fengzhi's hand, and hugged his fist at a few Cao Gang leaders, "Senior brothers, I'm really embarrassed, brother, this matter is a little urgent, take the first step." Another day, I will set up wine and make amends to a few senior brothers. ”

"It's far away to talk like this, our senior brothers, we don't need to talk about this. It's just that you really want to save people? Foreigners are not reasonable, what should you say when you get there? ”

Several dragon leaders are very concerned about him, but they have also opened a fragrant hall in the Cao Gang, and with a big man of seniority, they may be able to count on his help in the future to help the gang. Naturally, I don't want to put him in because of the Jiang family. Several people took silver from their bodies again, preparing to let him dredge the lower joints first. Zhao Guanhou refused one by one, "Thank you a few senior brothers, this thing is not something that silver can do, isn't it just a bishop, I'm not afraid of him." Senior sister, let's go. ”

Jiang Fengzhi ran all the way from the small shoe shop, tired and sweaty, Zhao Guanhou called two rickshaws to come over, got into the car with her, and asked after saying the address: "What about Li Chunting?" He caused this incident, and was he also arrested? ”

"Not really. I heard that only my father was arrested, but I sent someone to deliver the letter from the Li family, and they should show up. Li Chunting is a martial artist, and he is also famous. It's a pity that in this world, Wu Xiucai is not very valuable, and he can't be counted on. ”

"You don't have to count on him, as long as he is willing to show up, some things will be easy to do. The matter of this field must be solved after all. "The two rickshaw drivers only think that the two are lovers, and they are intentionally walking side by side, Zhao Guanhou just took out a handkerchief from his arms and handed it to Jiang Fengzhi." Senior sister, you wipe your tears and sweat first, don't panic in case of trouble, the sky is falling, and I am here. ”

"Good ......" Jiang Fengzhi, who took the handkerchief, was stung by a bee, and in the sun, seeing Zhao Guanhou wearing an official uniform, he was a little distracted for a while. Especially when the sunlight fell on the brass top bead worn by Qipin, it reflected a little light, as if adding a circle of light to him, making her feel ape-hearted.

She naturally knows that this is her good sister's father-in-law, and she shouldn't think otherwise, but it's a pity that this kind of thing has never been under her control. What's more, when Su Hanzhi was forced to marry by the Pang family, he also mentioned to her that he wanted her to take care of Zhao Guanhou for herself. If it weren't for the subsequent accidents, maybe he would be the one who is singing with his husband now.

As soon as she thought of this, Jiang Fengzhi's heart was beating inexplicably, and her mind was also a little trance-like, but she didn't know what to say. In the midst of this chaotic mood, the rickshaw of the two of them reached the outside of the county yamen, and then they saw a middle-aged man in his forties, arguing with several officials.

And the disciples of the Jiang family confronted a group of officials. A little farther away, a squad of patrolmen, armed with arquebuses, ready to fire. The officer who led the team was powerful in appearance and extraordinary in appearance, and it was the old enemy Pang Jinbiao.
