In the steaming copper hot pot, the broth is tumbling, exuding a strong aroma, and the mutton slices with moderate fat and thinness are soaked in the pot, and then taken out, and put into a bowl full of sauce to dip it. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Hou Xing looked at Zhao Guanhou with some apprehension, "Brother...... You, can you still eat this? You are all marquis, you don't know what to eat at home, and it is estimated that there are no twenty dishes for a meal without opening your mouth. I'll be able to get you some of this when I get home...... This, this is still the brother's incompetence. ”

Hou Xing, relying on Zhao Guanhou's relationship, has already sat down to a sub-chief of the southern section of the Jinmen Patrol Police, and on the ground of Jinmen, he has gone from a little-known gangster to a well-known figure. But in front of Zhao Guanhou, he was still timid, and with the improvement of his position, he became more and more afraid of this brother.

Only when he entered this circle did he know how terrifying Zhao Guanhou's power was. Even in the most troublesome foreigner cases, as long as Zhao Guanhou writes a letter and sends a telegram for himself, the consulate will save face and try to come up with a handling plan that can be explained.

Relying on this relationship, he Hou Xing is on the ground in Jinmen, and even has a reputation of not being afraid of the foreigner Hou Tietou, in fact, only Hou Xing himself knows, how can a foreigner be willing to sell favors without the face of his brother?

Even when encountering a major case that is difficult to solve, it is a telegram asking for help, or with guidance, or sending someone in person, and the problem will be solved. It is precisely by virtue of this friendship and relationship that he Hou Xing can sit firmly in the position of the sub-chief, and even the director of the southern section of the patrol police has to light a cigarette for him when he sees him.

Hou Xing now lives in a rather magnificent courtyard, married to the daughter of a wealthy family, the woman's family is a grain store, and there is a lot of dowry. If you were a gangster in a small shoe shop, you wouldn't dare to think that you could marry such a woman.

Because of these, he felt that he owed Zhao Guanhou too much, and he was broken to pieces, and it was difficult to repay him. Zhao Guanhou was very casual, "That's good, I don't like to eat, what else do you eat?" I think that when our buddies were in the small shoe shop, eating noodles was considered to improve their lives, people can't forget their roots, and on this day, they have to chant Buddha. If you can eat shabu-shabu, if you are not satisfied, sit down quickly and eat it together. How's it going at home? How is our old brother messing up, and if there are any difficulties, tell me this, and I will try to do it for you. ”

Hou Xing shook his head, "The second brother has helped a lot, but I don't dare to say that there are any difficulties, the brothers are all good." As the second brother said, no matter what, it is much better than the days when there was no meal. Most of them have added their police names in the yamen, even if they are mixed with the streets, they are now all foot-walking, no one dares to provoke, and eating is not a problem. ”

"That's good. Let's come out to mess around, and in the end, what we want is to live a life where we can eat enough food and meat, and at this point, we can mix it up. But people go to higher places, water flows to lower places, the new daughter-in-law you marry, who has studied foreign books, and the family is also considered to be wealthy, I heard that the expenses are very large, can you raise her? ”

This was said in Hou Xing's weakness, and he smiled awkwardly, "It must be Erlanzi's quick mouth, as I told you, she has been so sick since she was a child, you don't pay attention to her." Her sister-in-law is either unrestrained, or her hands are loose, and I ...... I'm also the sub-chief, and I can still afford it. ”

Zhao Guanhou said with a smile: "Don't just say that you have to confess, if the family has money, the man will be tough." When she married you, she brought a lot of dowry, and when she argued, she always said that she was making her own money, which was not true. Well, I'll show you the way to get rich. ”

He whispered a few words, and Hou Xing's face changed so much that he almost fell to the ground. "Grab the silver number...... This...... This police investigation took the lead in grabbing the silver number, isn't there no Wang Fa? ”

"What's the trouble, in the capital, the third town is still an official army, don't just put guns and rob businesses. There is no garrison in Jinmen, and if you do it, it will be Zhang Zhenfang's guard. Those people have no relationship with Jinmen, and their hands are neither light nor heavy, and they don't know what to do. I argued with the president on the basis of reason, and it took me a long time before I agreed that the police would come forward and take the place of the army. You are all natives of your hometown, and you have a sense of proportion under your hands, and you only take money, and you don't want to die, and you won't harm women. This is a rich business, our own brothers, I won't let you do it, who will do it? If you really don't want to do it, then I won't force it, I can only let my guards do it. ”

In the capital, the third town was ordered to mutiny, creating a series of vicious cases. The soldiers shouted, "Yuan Gongbao doesn't want us anymore, Gongbao wants to go to the south, we want to live." "Attacking businesses and money houses with guns, adhering to the principle of setting fire to not killing, robbing money and not harming women, swept away dozens of shops run by Chinese people. The neighboring foreign banks did not move at all.

The smashing lasted for three days, and the hotel where the five delegates from the south were staying was almost fired. The five people were frightened and did not possess their bodies, and agreed with the saying that once Yuan Weiting went south, the Beiyang soldiers would lose their restraints and would inevitably act in the north, and the matter of Yu Weiting's inauguration in the south was loosened.

Zhao Guanhou, the designer of this incident, left the capital and prepared to return to Shandong, and the train first went to Tianjin to visit his old friends, which added fuel to the fire and made things bigger. Hou Xing became the sub-director, and his ears and eyes were well-informed, "Two days ago, there was a mutiny in the capital, and it was ......"

"Boss Cao's soldiers did it, and Brother Li helped by the side, and the troop movement route was planned in advance. The capital is not as good as Jinmen, there are many officials, clans, and foreigners, and it is troublesome if you can't grab it. Where they go to rob, they are all checked in advance to ensure that there is no future trouble. ”

"Isn't it that the north and the south have made peace, what...... Why do you still come to this hand? ”

Zhao Guanhou patted him on the shoulder, "Brother, you are still a military advisor in a small shoe shop, not a person in the officialdom." Negotiation of peace or allies does not mean absolute, in the final analysis, it still depends on interests. Ge Ming's party wants President Jiang Ning to take office, which is tantamount to forcing the tiger to leave the mountain, which is absolutely impossible. If it is hard and the truth is true, it has to use this trick to scare the southern envoy back. Not only the capital, but also Jinmen and Baoding, all have to make a fuss. Let them know that there is no one to control the official army without leaving the president, and if they are harmful at that time, they don't know how big it will be, and they will naturally dispel their thoughts. ”

Hou Xing thought about it again, "A few days ago, a meeting was held in Jinmen to dissolve all the Geming parties in Jinmen. What Iron Blood, the women's assassination group, have all been disbanded. Many women cried and scolded outside, saying that they had deceived them, and they ran out of the house in order to do Ge Ming, and now they can't go back when they go home, and they are not allowed to continue Ge Ming, so they are only dismissed. In the end, there was no way, and many of them had to find someone to marry temporarily. This Ge Ming, there was a lot of uproar at the beginning, in this place of Jinmen, there are many people who want to do a big job, and some people pull me into the gang, I am timid, I dare not get involved. But I also feel that what they said is right, and this big gold country should have been finished a long time ago. Now, seeing that Ge Ming has become it, why did he pinch it himself? The common people really can't understand it, so they can only shout a few voices, and it will be unlucky to mix in. ”

"So, it's right if you don't mix, if you don't understand the situation and mix indiscriminately, it's easy to give up your life. Regardless of success or failure in the future, if you are dead, what is the point of success or failure? It's just such a bowl of meat, if I eat it, you'll be gone, and if you eat it, I'll be gone. You must have to rob it, for the sake of meat, it is not uncommon to play with your life and use a knife, and it is even more common to play with your wrists. Emperor Sun played tricks and wanted to trick the president into going to Jiangning in order to hold him hostage. We will use our wrists to prevent the president from going south to take office, and who succeeds in this trick in the end, who is the hero, who fails, and who is the bear, it's just that simple. Those women, if you can get in touch, tell them that Shandong will take care of their food, welcome them to Shandong, settle down, and at least be an official wife. ”

Hou Xing thought for a while: "I have few people on my hands. To do such a big thing, the strength is not enough. ”

"Call all the people in the small shoe shop, as well as the people from the Li family with water ladders, and find more coolies to prepare. Don't be in a hurry to grab the storefront, the main force is to rob me of the mint bureau and the east bureau. Let me tell you, once a dynasty is established, another dynasty is abolished, and a new currency must be made. In the mint, there is a new batch of silver, ready to mint money, about sixty or seventy thousand taels, and there is also copper for minting auxiliary coins, which must be tens of thousands of catties, all of which will be moved by me. There are also guns and ammunition in the East Bureau, which are also removed. ”

"Second brother, do you mean to move to you?"

"Look at what you said, if you don't move to me, where else can you move? I have a train in Laolongtou, which says that it is going to Shandong to pull military supplies, but in fact, it is an empty train, waiting for you to load silver and copper and ammunition on the car. So be sure to hire more people and be fast. Relying on the spring now, it is the time of the spring famine, and there are many people working hard in the market, and it is not difficult to hire a group of people. Besides, we still have the strength to walk on our feet, and it's easy to do that. Usually, if you want to move these two places, you have to play with your life. This time they accepted the order, and they didn't dare to fight you, so they just took things there, and don't be afraid. Take what you see, and take as much as you can. ”

Hou Xing became more and more inexplicable, "Second brother, you and the president have a very deep friendship, why do you want to do this?" ”

"Friendship is friendship, and the accounts should be clear. I should take it, and I can't be negligent. Brother, you still haven't experienced much, I don't understand. Now at this time, when it comes to the critical moment of dividing the meat, whoever pulls more pieces into the bowl will be dry. Whoever takes a little less will suffer a loss. If I don't take it, others will take it. These two important places, there is a big deficit on weekdays, and they are waiting for this opportunity to settle the account, rather than cheap outsiders, it is better to belong to me, rest assured to do it, with me, there will be no mistakes. ”

Hou Xing nodded, "Since it's the second brother's business, then there's nothing to say, everything the brother has today is given by the second brother, for the second brother, there is nothing to say, just look at it." ”

Shandong, Jinan.

On the train platform, officials from Shandong have been waiting for a long time. After a previous turmoil, the power of the Xingzhong Society in Shandong was basically swept away, and this time the dynasty was officially changed, but the new Zhengfu was not officially established. Yuan Weiting's head is still the title of interim president. As for the new form of government, everyone still can't figure it out. This time, although Ge Ming can be regarded as a success, the local official system is very chaotic.

For example, most of the southern provinces that have experienced Ge Ming have changed the governor to the governor, and the local official positions have also been adjusted accordingly. However, Shandong did not pass through Ge Ming here, although the officials remained the same, and Zhao Guanhou, the governor, did not know what to call him, so he had to be called Dashuai in general.

In Shandong, braids are not forced to be cut like in other provinces, and even among officials, some still have braids. Everyone's official uniforms are still in the style of gold, big hats and robes, Zhao Guanhou got out of the car, and the officials all knelt down to greet the handsome, and there were handbooks to say hello.

Although these people don't know Ge Ming's situation, they don't know what the so-called Ge Ming's situation is. But the ups and downs of the Huan Sea, all of them are human spirits, and one thing is that they are very sober and have changed the dynasty. Now the provisional president Yuan Weiting is the benefactor of his own marshal, the two are the same thing, and his authority has not been weakened by the establishment of the new government, but may be strengthened.

Whether these people can continue to stay in office, or return to their hometowns due to vacancies, or the people are so angry that they want to kill their heads and raid their homes, it is all in the thought of the marshal. As a result, they are serving more diligently and humbly than in the past.

When they saw the silver, copper, and munitions pulled down from the train, these people were even more surprised, not knowing what they were doing in Shandong, but thinking that it was always a reward from the president. Zou Jingzhai, Xia Manjiang and several other staff members have been acting as provincial affairs during this time, and they are busy coming forward to greet them at this time. Sun Meiyao generously came over and grabbed Zhao Guanhou's hand, "This time, you belong to me." ”

After Ge Ming, one of Sun Meiyao's big gains is that she can finally restore her status as a daughter and no longer have to pretend to be a man. Although there is no ordinance for female soldiers in the new government, there is no ordinance prohibiting women from serving in the military.

The Ge Ming Army in the south has women's death squads, women's bomb squads and other organizations, although they are not organized, but at least they have titles. Zhao Guanhou has a female cavalry standard here, which is logical, and she can be generous in front of people. The members of the women's assassination team who came with the car, as well as the members of the women's egg bombing team and the standing team, saw this scene and looked at each other and nodded, thinking that they had come to the right place.

The two held their arms until they reached the yamen, and Zou Jingzhai said: "Dashuai, although Shandong is calm at the moment, but in the locality, it is inevitable that people's hearts will be shaken, and I don't know what the future will be." The main concern is whether the original decree will be changed, and whether the merchants will be able to do business as in the past. And then there's the appointment and dismissal of magistrates......"

Zhao Guanhou nodded and said, "This question is what I and everyone else will do next." The emperor of Jin has abdicated, and the country has changed owners, but Shandong is still the old shopkeeper, and I am still in charge here. What should have been done in the past, or how to do it, don't be afraid, there will be personnel adjustments, but it will not reach the point of chaos in the world. As for the decree, there will be some changes from the past, but it is always for everyone to do better business and live a better life. ”

He looked at a few people, and his tone was very resolute, "Here, there are no outsiders, so I don't have to hide when I speak." In the past, we acted in a way that was subject to the imperial court and the system, and there were many things that we had to consider the impact of all aspects, and we couldn't let go of our hands and feet. Now that these interferences are gone, it is equivalent to spreading your hands and you can do whatever you want, I want to make some moves to change our Shandong into a different appearance. ”

Li Runnian was cautious, and hurriedly said at this time: "Da Shuai and slow, you want to make a difference, the students are supportive, but please also think twice." After all, although there is no emperor now, there is also a temporary president, if we act too publicly, will the president be surprised? ”

"Don't worry, this is definitely not, I have made several great contributions to the president this time, and he also promised me that I can do it freely in Shandong. With him as my back, we don't have to be afraid of anything. I, the governor of Shandong, want to change my name, my authority will only become bigger, not smaller, and my territory will expand.
