Beijing, Dongwenchang Hutong Chen Mansion, Yao Yilei is planning which belongings to move to Jiangbei, in her mind, the Protector Embassy Office should be a very large and magnificent house, with many servants and guards, no decent furniture, curtains or anything, it is not a system.

Suddenly, the servant came to report that a guest had arrived, Chen Zikun went to the front hall to meet the guest, only to see that it was Yan Su who came, he was dressed in civilian clothes, his expression was slightly anxious, Chen Zikun sent the servant away, and asked: "Brother Yan, what is the matter with such a panic?" ”

Yan Su said: "The East Window Incident! ”

Chen Zikun had expected it, and raised his eyebrows: "So what?" ”

Yan Su paused and said: "Privately fabricating official documents, that is a big crime, the news that you have been appointed as the Jiangbei Protector Envoy was published in the newspaper, and the entire War Department knows about it, they are investigating this matter thoroughly, and you and I can't escape." ”

Chen Zikun said: "One person does things and one person is responsible for it, I will bear this matter with all my might, and it has nothing to do with Brother Yan." ”

Yan Su said: "How can there be no eggs under the nest, no one can run away, while they haven't made a big deal yet, let's leave quickly." ”

Chen Zikun is worried, this time is different from the past, how to run a big family, and there are two aunts and grandmothers in the backyard, how can I tell them? said that he was going to be punished for forging official documents? I can't speak.

Seeing him hesitate, Yan Su beat his chest and said: "When you keep interrupting, you will suffer from it, this crime is too big, even Wu Dashuai can't save you, don't leave at this time, when the people who arrest you come, Beijing City will not be able to get out." ”

Chen Zikun stomped his feet, turned around and entered the inner house, Yao Yilei and Jianbing were arguing, one said that he was going to transport furniture from Beijing, and the other said that he was looking for wood to build locally. ”

Yao Yilei was stunned: "What's wrong?" ”

"It's a long story, let's explain it on the way, give you five minutes, quickly pack your things." Chan took out his pocket watch and began to pinch it.

Yao Yilei didn't dare to say much when she saw this, quickly returned to the bedroom, dragged out the suitcase from under the bed, and began to pack up, thanks to the fact that they had just moved over, and they hadn't had time to buy all kinds of antiques, calligraphy and paintings, otherwise it would be troublesome to clean up.

Put the jewelry box and the cash at home into the suitcase, Yao Yilei still wanted to take a few more clothes and shoes, but when she picked up this one and remembered that one, it was difficult to choose for a while, and this effort was delayed. ”

Seeing what he said, Yao Yilei hurriedly closed the suitcase, carried it out, and walked to the gate with Chen Zikun Jianbing, the car outside the door had already started, Yan Su stood next to the car and looked at the pocket watch from time to time, anxious.

Can't help but be in a hurry, this matter is really big, according to his plan, when the new chief is here, the chief officers of the War Department will definitely have to change it, and then no one will verify the files he forged, and the fake will become true, but the matter is actually bad for Chen Zikun's woman, and the city is full of wind and rain to publicize such a confidential matter, and everyone who shouldn't know knows it, the War Department doesn't rub sand in their eyes, they have already begun to investigate this matter, and the matter is revealed today!

Chen Zikun and the others came out in a panic, and were carrying their luggage to the car, when suddenly a car came straight to Chen's house, and drove to him in an instant, and a colonel in uniform jumped out of the car, looked at them arrogantly, and said, "Who is Chen Zikun?" ”

Chen Zikun stood up and said, "I am." ”

The colonel said: "I am an attendant of the Prime Minister's Office, and Prime Minister Gao is invited, come with me." ”

With a bang, the suitcase in Yao Yilei's hand fell to the ground.

……

Although the uncles of the Ministry of War usually do some serious things slowly, but the matter is related to themselves, the efficiency is absolutely post, the staff of the General Affairs Department checked the archive documents, and they were all speechless in shock, the surname Chen was really promoted to a major general, the president used the seal, and the stub of the letter of appointment of the Jiangbei Protector was also placed in the archive room, on which was the signature of Zhang Shaozeng, the prime minister and chief of the army, and the seal of the customs defense.

It's surprising, the promotion to general is a big deal, why no one in the War Department knows, and the person in charge doesn't know, how did this file come about? Could it be that the gods descended to earth? Everyone carefully checked the seal, the seal of the army chief and the president of the army is not forged and forged, even if the engraving master himself is asked to re-engrave one, it will definitely not be completely consistent, but the seal on the letter of appointment is as fake as it gets.

The uncles were puzzled, and after pondering for a long time, they finally came to the conclusion that the letter of appointment was forged by Chen Zikun, a daring fanatic, when the government was paralyzed and no one was at work at the War Department.

Now that the War Department has no family, and no one wants to deal with Chen Zikun, there is no one to make a decision, so a group of people are vigorously preparing to go to Gao Lingwei, the chief of internal affairs who is temporarily acting as prime minister, and want to ask him to give an explanation, for this kind of privately made documents, it is necessary to severely punish them.

The officers elected Director Song of the General Affairs Office as the head, and a group of people scolded and went straight to the Prime Minister's Office, which was located in Tieshi Hutong, not far from the War Department, and walked two steps to the place, but was stopped by the people in the chamber of the Prime Minister's Office, and was told that the acting prime minister was in the process of awarding the medal and could not receive you.

Everyone thought that being idle was also idle, so it was better to go and see the excitement, and a group of people crowded around the small hall of the Prime Minister's Office to watch, it didn't matter if they looked at it, they were all dumbfounded.

In the small hall, Gao Lingwei was presenting the third-class Wenhu Medal to Chen Zikun.

This Wenhu Medal was determined to be awarded to Chen Zikun a long time ago, but it was delayed due to political changes, and after the US minister awarded Chen Zikun a commendation star, Gao Lingwei immediately decided to award this medal, so there was the scene at the gate of Chen's house just now.

In the midst of military music, Acting Premier Gao personally hung a third-class medal of the Medal of the Tiger on Chen Zikun's neck, patted him on the shoulder and gave him a lot of encouragement.

He highly praised Chen Zikun's heroic performance in the Lincheng train robbery, calling him a model of the Chinese people, and then changed the conversation and said: "There is another good news to announce today, the War Department has appointed Chen Zikun as the Jiangbei Protector Envoy, let us congratulate him with warm applause on his ascension." ”

The applause rang out, Chen Zikun showed a slightly stunned look, looked at Yan Su in the crowd, he was also confused, and then looked at the colleagues of the War Department gathered at the door of the small hall, Chen Zikun was even more confused.

"Zikun, congratulations." Gao Lingwei smiled and stretched out his right hand to Chen Zikun, Chen Zikun saluted upright, and then shook hands with the acting prime minister, bowed slightly and said, "Thank you, Prime Minister." He looked up and casually looked out the door.

At the door of the small hall, a group of people from the War Department were dumbfounded, and they complained at this juncture, wasn't that a public slap in the face of the acting prime minister, and they didn't leave for a while, and they didn't stay, and they were very embarrassed.

After the award ceremony, the attendant officer stepped forward and reported secretly: "Commander, Director Song of the General Affairs Department of the War Department came with a group of people, and I don't know what happened. ”

Gao Lingwei frowned and said, "I was looking for him, let them wait for me in the office." ”

Half an hour later, Gao Lingwei replied to the office, a group of officers immediately got up and saluted, Gao waved his hand casually, sat behind the desk, and picked up a telegram casually: "Old Song, you came just in time, Wu Ziyu sent a telegram, asking your War Department to allocate military salaries, grain, grass and equipment for the new Jiangbei Protector Chen Zikun, since Chief Jin is not in the ministry, you can consider it." ”

For a while, the officers who were originally surging collectively lost their voices and said nothing.

It turned out that people were acting on orders, promoted to major general, and served as an envoy to protect the army, behind which Wu Peifu, an old boy, was operating.

Now that Jin Yongyan has fallen, the Beiyang government is completely directly related to the world, Cao Laoshuai is about to become president, Wu Dashuai is even more in the sky, Luoyang sneezes, Beijing and Tianjin are going to earthquake, Chen Zikun was originally Wu Dashuai's descendant, he was born in the United States, and he has repeatedly performed miraculous achievements, so what if he is promoted to a major general? It makes sense and reason.

No one will touch the stone with an egg, and now Wu Dashuai is the hardest stone, anyway, Chen Zikun went to be the Jiangbei Protector and envoy did not hinder anyone's business, but also vacated a fat difference of the Ministry of Communications, why not, so everyone had a tacit understanding not to mention the inexplicable appointment and promotion again.

"Yes, obedience." Director Song snapped upright.

"Oh, what are you looking for from me?" Gao Lingwei asked.

Director Song had an idea and said, "That's the case, since Chen Zikun is the envoy of Jiangbei, won't there be a vacant seat on the Ministry of Communications?" I want to ...... my job."

Gao Lingwei waved his hand and said: "Needless to say, you don't have to worry, I have already considered this issue, the fertilizer water does not flow into the fields of outsiders, and the position of deputy director of the Railway Garrison Department of the Ministry of Communications must be filled by someone from your War Department." ”

The officers glanced at each other, their faces full of joy, and their hearts began to pound, expecting the oversized pie to fall on their heads.

"The candidate has been decided, and it is up to ...... Wang Geng, who was born in the United States, was appointed. ”

Gao Lingwei's words extinguished the flame of hope for everyone,

……

Iron Lion Hutong, Chen Zikun and Yan Su walked side by side, the two looked at each other from time to time, laughing, the progress of the matter was too dramatic, a telegram from Luoyang, made Chen Zikun, the stolen military envoy, become a real military envoy, and private salt has become official salt.

"The War Department can't even pay salaries, let alone advance military salaries, let alone guns and ammunition, and even the broken guns captured by the Feng Army in the Zhifeng War last year have been looted, in short, the War Department is a clear water yamen, and there is nothing." Yan Su said.

"What then?" Chan asked.

Yan Su stopped, looked at Miss Yao behind him, and said in a low voice, "Isn't there a bank president's daughter by your side?" ”
