Chapter 5 Swords and guns are in (two more for subscription support)

Song Xiao flew to the door of the mansion, and with a pleasant face, he let the senior brother and the second senior brother of the five boxers of the big sword king and a dozen or so squires enter the west chamber of the mansion. The senior brother who came to make trouble and the squire behind him saw that Song Xiaofei was smiling and had no malicious intent, so they followed him in.

In the conference hall, they paid homage to Song Xiaofei and took their seats after saluting. A squire Chen Changshou stood up, he was about seventy years old, dressed in a long robe, with a gray beard, and said: "We are all local squires, the adults issued a notice prohibiting the activities of the boxing club, and the boxing club helped to destroy the foreign, and they are all righteous men loyal to the court!" The old thief thought that the government should advocate it, and the former governor did just that. ”

Song Xiaofei's face sank and said, "Extinguishing the ocean? You are all destroying my Chinese compatriots, and we are Chinese who are dead! The former governor is ignorant and ignorant, and this official will never forgive! Now that you're here, let's settle the score! ”

The senior brother and the second senior brother didn't expect the government to hold them accountable, but when they heard Song Xiaofei's words, they looked around the council room, and there were already a lot of armed soldiers, and it was too late to want to slip away at this time!

Chen Changshou said: "When adults first arrive in Shandong, they may not understand the local people's conditions, and most of the people are slaves of foreigners, and when they eat the relief grain of foreigners, they forget that they are Chinese, and they specialize in bullying and oppressing good people, and they have a bad stomach!" Those parishioners are still disrespectful and morally corrupt, and they don't take us squires seriously at all. ”

Song Xiaofei shouted: "This official has also personally entered the disaster area to provide disaster relief, and knows the suffering of the victims!" No matter whose food it is, as long as the people do not starve to death, it is better than anything else. As far as the official knows, most of the parishioners are well-behaved. Even if they are at fault, only the state can decide the power of life and death, so why do you use lynching to disregard people's surnames? And the boxers also robbed money and burned down houses, what is the difference between this and banditry? ”

Hearing Song Xiaofei's tone becoming sharper and sharper, the senior brother became more and more flustered, and replied to the question: "The government has always protected foreigners and religious people, and we must destroy all the foreign devils." ”

Song Xiaofei said: "With just a few of your big knives, can you beat the guns of foreigners?" ”

The second senior brother patted his chest and said, "Senior brother said, the boxers recited the spell, like divine help, and the guns of foreign devils can't help us." ”

Song Xiaofei said: "A few days ago, in Texas, how could the boxers be killed by officers and soldiers twenty-seven, aren't they invulnerable? ”

The squires in the audience were full of discussions, and some began to express doubts about the invulnerability of the boxers. The senior brother blushed and said, "The boxers who were killed were insincere and lacked skill. ”

When Song Xiaofei heard this, he said the "secret" of all evil sects and crooked religions to fool people: only when you completely believe in the sect leader can you be considered sincere, once you believe it, you will be deceived; If you don't believe it, people will say that you are not sincere and will not achieve results. In this way, their lies will never be exposed. However, Song Xiaofei was not so easy to fool, thought about it a little, and said, "Who is the most powerful in your skills?" Presumably Senior Brother, the heart must be sincere, and the skill must be enough? Give this officer a show of invulnerability. ”

The second senior brother hurriedly replied: "Of course, our senior brother's skills are obvious to all, we have seen him work with our own eyes, the iron cloth shirt covers the body, and the fire gun can't be killed." ”

The second senior brother didn't understand that when the senior brother performed, the amount of gunpowder was secretly reduced by one-tenth, and the so-called iron cloth shirt was only an iron plate hidden on his chest.

The second senior brother forced the senior brother into a corner, he was sweating profusely, and it was difficult to refuse, so he had to agree to perform once.

Song Xiaofei asked Wang Shizhen to collect the knives of the boxers, and put them all in the small school yard in the courtyard, so that they could open their eyes and see how the senior brother was doing his work, and whether he could be invulnerable.

The senior brother walked forward about a hundred steps, turned around, arched his hands like the southeast, knelt down and knocked his head three times, lay on the ground, and then his lips squirmed, and began to vibrate the words: "Heavenly Spirit Spirit Earth Spirit Spirit, say that the moon shines on me, Tota Li Heavenly King, quickly possess me, Ma Li Ma Li coax." Then, he stood up, spread his legs, his hands drooped, and began to shake his head frantically, Wang Shizhen, who was holding a musket, asked: "Okay, I'll count three times, and then shoot, one, two, ......."

The boxers all felt that it was almost over, and held their breath, and the senior brother suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Wait! ”

Song Xiaofei asked, "What's wrong?" ”

The senior brother said slyly: "King Tota Li is not at home today, I have to change to a true god!" ”

Song Xiaofei smiled slightly and said, "You change it, the official waits." ”

The senior brother pretended to be a ghost again, and invited God again, this time inviting "Erlang God", but Wang Shizhen just counted for a while, and the senior brother opened his eyes again and said: "Erlang God is sick."

Song Xiaofei smiled, this immortal is still sick, I see when you play tricks, he ordered someone to bring a few chairs, sat down with Tan Si and the others, and said, "I want to see how long you can drag it out today." Lord Ben waits slowly, you change again, please don't come to the true god, you don't want to leave this mansion alive today!. ”

Cold sweat broke out on the senior brother's head, he knew that the governor in front of him was really not easy to fool, but there was no way back at this time, the third time, his legs trembled, he was so frightened that he peed his pants, and he had to say that he wanted to go to the thatched house.

Song Xiaofei sent two personal soldiers to follow the senior brother to the thatched house, not leaving an inch, taking off his pants and staring at him to prevent him from running away.

The senior brother had no choice but to come back to the small school again, hoping that Wang Shizhen, who shot at the gun, was not accurate, as long as he missed it, he immediately said that his immortal possession was over. It's a pity that his wishful thinking is too stinky, Wang Shizhen's marksmanship, a hundred steps through Yang, is one of the best in the Beiyang Military Academy, put an apple on the head of the senior brother, it's no problem to knock down the apple, not to mention that he is such a big meat target?

After only hearing the two gunshots of "bang bang", the senior brother fell to the ground, two large sieve holes were punched in his chest, and the blood flowed nonstop, and in the time of half a burnt incense, he convulsed a few times like a dead pig that had been drained of blood, and died of exhaustion. Tan Sitong stepped forward to probe his mouth and nose, and said, "Senior brother is out of breath!" ”

Song Xiaofei asked the second senior brother and the boxers to come forward to see if the senior brother was dead. Seeing this, the second senior brother and the squire present were so frightened that their legs weakened, and they knelt on the ground with a plop, "We were also deceived by the senior brother, and we didn't know that the senior brother deceived us before." The boxers in the back also knelt down and begged for mercy.

Song Xiaofei said: "It is not impossible to forgive you. You boxers, just show up and say the truth, make up for your mistakes, and expose the invulnerability lies for the Shandong fathers. As for Chen Changshou, you squires, you have the money to contribute and the power to help the boxers show up. If you can hold out for five years, the official will spare you from death, otherwise, you will be in prison waiting for the autumn queen to be beheaded! ”

The second senior brother and the boxers, as well as the squires, nodded and agreed to go to the countryside to show up and speak. When it was said that the people who went to the governor's mansion were the backbone elements of the boxers and bandits, they showed up to preach, and Song Xiaofei quickly quelled the boxers and bandits. He deeply felt that in this era, feudal superstition could prevail, which had something to do with the backwardness of educational content, so he decided to start the next step with education and start a new policy in Shandong.
