Chapter 30 Convincing People with Virtue

The army stationed in Cangzhou is not Zhang Xueliang's descendant, but the Jin army that was incorporated after the Central Plains War, and the establishment was originally dissatisfied, a battalion of three or five hundred soldiers, and after deducting the logistics left-behind and sick on leave, only 200 people actually arrived at the scene.

Two hundred soldiers with big guns are enough to shock the countrymen, and the events of Gengzi Nian have proved that no matter how good the martial arts are, they can't beat foreign guns and cannons, and the army is murderous, and the fathers and elders know that this foreigner in a long shirt and horse coat is not good at stubble.

Chen Zikun doesn't like to oppress people, but sometimes when he encounters unreasonable, he has to be serious, and now his identity is respected, how can he easily do it himself, and the soldiers who surrender without a fight are the king.

The practice of martial arts in Cangzhou is prevalent, and the people are fierce, but it is just a private fight in the countryside, and all the troops are rested.

Two hundred soldiers drove to the front, brushed the rifle to the ground, and the battalion commander who led the team rode a jujube red horse, rolled the saddle and dismounted from the horse when he was eight zhang away, straightened his abdomen, ran over in small steps, and said respectfully: "Chairman Chen, I am ordered to arrive and wait for the dispatch." ”

Chen Zikun said: "Take a break." ”

"Yes!" The battalion commander faced the soldiers, "Take a break!" ”

The villagers were stunned, this stranger is not only not a good stubble, but also a crowd, Yan Huairen is even more dizzy, wave after wave of unsettled, the matter of his son hurting people has not been solved, and the old enemy who is seeking revenge has come again, it seems that the Yan family is going to be in great trouble today.

Chen Zikun said: "Rest assured, I, Chen Zikun, am a reasonable person, I will be the master for you today, who is right and wrong, take it out and say, the Yan family is at a loss, how to deal with it, if you are strong and bullying, then don't blame me for being polite." ”

Everyone looked at each other, and after a while, the bitter master's family said: "If you hurt my family, you have to give an explanation and let Yan Jinan come out!" ”

I only heard the sound of footsteps and footsteps, and a young man in his early twenties came out of the gate of the Yan family, with a leopard head and eyes, and a swallow's jaw and tiger whiskers.

"I am Yan Jinan, one person does things and one person is responsible, what is coming at me." The young man slapped his chest with a thump.

Yan Huairen sank his face: "Why did you come out!" ”

Seeing that the murderer came out, the family of the bitter lord was restless, and was blocked back by the soldiers with bayonets, at this time, the two old men accompanied a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl crying and crying, it turned out that they were the real bitter masters, a few days ago when selling vegetables in the county, they were molested by the neighboring village Zhang family, Yan Jinan saw that the people in the village were bullied, and he stepped forward to stop it in anger, and he didn't agree with each other and fought a lot, which hurt the other party.

The matter is clear, the people and witnesses are there, and the Zhang family doesn't have the courage to mess around, after all, two hundred guns are here, but if they are so soft, they will have no face to mix on the ground in Cangzhou in the future.

When it was difficult to ride a tiger, a carriage galloped in, it turned out to be the parents of Cangxian County, the county magistrate Zhang heard that someone had mobilized the army to make trouble in Zhanggezhuang, and hurriedly came to check, Chen Zikun handed over his business card, almost scared the county magistrate to pee his pants.

"Chairman Chen, when did you arrive, why don't you notify the lowly to greet you." County Magistrate Zhang took off his top hat, nodded his head, bowed his knees, turned his face and scolded the group of people in his family angrily: "What kind of system has become of the knife and gun, and it will not disperse quickly!" ”

The Zhang family was young and vigorous, and said loudly: "The Yan family's dog is not a good man. ”

The county magistrate was about to go crazy, and Chen Zikun said: "Boy, how do you say you are a hero?" ”

Hou Sheng said: "If you see kung fu with real knives and real guns, that is a good man." ”

Yan Jinan stepped forward and said, "Just wait for your words." ”

County Magistrate Zhang took out a big handkerchief to wipe his sweat, smiled awkwardly, and looked at Chen Zikun.

Chen Zikun said: "It seems that it is difficult to convince them without fighting, so let's stop it." ”

Since the central officials have spoken, the county magistrate has nothing to say, so he immediately set aside a vacant land at the entrance of the village to let the Yan family and the Zhang family compete.

The Yan family is good at light skills and hidden weapons, but the fist and foot kung fu are not weak, the Zhang family is the widely spread lost boxing in Cangzhou, the two young people fist back and forth, the fight is not lively, less than 20 moves, Yan Jinan won.

The Zhang family stood up again, in his thirties, with a purple face, high temples, and a master, everyone whispered, there was a lot of fear in their eyes, and Yan Huairen also had a trace of sadness on his face.

Sure enough, after more than ten moves, Yan Jinan was beaten and staggered back a few steps, spurting out a mouthful of blood.

Chen Zikun was itching, tucked the hem of the robe into his waist, and said, "This master, I'll teach you." ”

County Magistrate Zhang was so anxious that he was sweating like rain, in case something happened to Chen Zikun in this county, he would not escape the death penalty, but Chairman Chen was interested, and no one could hold it back, so he had to give his family a fierce look and let him show mercy.

The purple face is called Zhang Jinpeng, he is the highest martial arts among the children of the Zhang family, and his temperament is also extremely strong, he ignored the hints of the county magistrate Zhang, and rushed forward with a long roar, with his fists and fists, without leaving his hand at all.

Chen Zikun has been an official for many years, insisting on getting up early every day to exercise, long-distance running, swimming, horseback riding and boxing, at the age of 30, it is the peak period of experience and physical strength.

A vicious fight, the fight was dark, Zhang Jinpeng's kung fu is not weak, and his fighting experience is even richer, Chen Zikun couldn't help him, he had to sell a flaw, lure the enemy deeper, and suddenly used the southern fist leg method that had not been used for many years, Foshan no shadow foot, a dazzling leg method, Zhang Jinpeng was caught off guard, was kicked to practice backwards, barely stood on his heels.

"I lost." Zhang Jinpeng is a straightforward man in the end, and his skills are not as good as others, so he hugged his fists and walked away.

"Concession." Chen Zikun threw his hand at his back.

The Zhang family was convinced, and slipped away.

The Yan family was relieved and thanked them, but they couldn't say it because of their face.

Chen Zikun didn't force them, nodded to Yan Huairen, and took Xia Xiaoqing to get in the car and leave, and the county magistrate Zhang followed behind in a carriage, and the battalion also withdrew and followed behind.

The car was watching slowly on the dirt road in the countryside, and suddenly Chen Zikun saw Yan Jinan rushing from the rearview mirror, so he said, "Stop." ”

Yan Jinan ran to the car and said, "I know where my aunt's bones are." ”

"Lead the way." Chan's eyes lit up.

Ten minutes later, Yan Jinan took them to a nearby cemetery, which was the ancestral tomb of the Yan family, and Yan Shengnan's grave was outside the cemetery, with a small and lonely grave, and there was not even a tombstone.

"My aunt is buried here, and besides, my aunt was not executed by my grandfather and my father, but died in childbirth."

Yan Jinan's words shocked Xia Xiaoqing.

"What, what are you talking about, my mother died of dystocia!"

"Yes, when my aunt went home for the funeral, she already had a child, and then she was born prematurely, and the child was saved, but the adult was gone, and the grandfather hated his uncle very much, so he lied to him and said that he had sunk his aunt in the pond......" Yan Jinan's words were unknown, but looking at his expression, it didn't seem to be lying.

"Who told you this?" Xia Xiaoqing stared at Yan Jinan, and asked sharply, Yan Jinan is so young, he has not personally experienced these things, and he must have been told by adults.

Yan Ji Nan said: "Who else tell me that my aunt left a posthumous son, that is, my brother Yan Qingyu, this name was obtained by my aunt before she died, and everyone in Zhang Gezhuang knows it." ”

Chen Zikun smiled dumbly, it turned out that the snitch who was making trouble in the provincial capital turned out to be his brother-in-law.

"That'...... Grandpa, he ...... "Xia Xiaoqing thought of the duel between his father and grandfather last year.

Yan Ji Nan said: "Grandpa hated his uncle, and deceived him for half his life, he couldn't bear it, he was very contradictory, and he wanted to make a decision, his old man said before leaving, he was most sorry for his daughter in this life, and the Xia family would find him in the future, don't embarrass them." ”

Xia Xiaoqing said: "Then uncle? ”

Yan Jinan said: "My father is stubborn, and he can't turn this corner, so I ask my sister to forgive me." ”

Xia Xiaoqing was silent for a moment and said, "Forget about the past, I want to help my mother move the grave, just don't obstruct the Yan family." ”

……

With the vigorous assistance of County Magistrate Zhang, Xia's mother's bones were dug up and reburied in the newly built cemetery, and she was buried with Xia Feixiong, thus fulfilling Xia Xiaoqing's wish.

The Yan family originally felt that their threshold was quite high and looked down on Xia Xiaoqing and them, but seeing that the county magistrate was groveling in front of Chen Zikun, and seeing that this nephew and son-in-law had superb martial arts, their sense of superiority was lost, and they gave up their previous suspicions and admitted the fact of Yan Shengnan and Xia Feixiong's fait accompli.

When I came to Zhanggezhuang again, it was not the tense posture of the last time, the Yan family cleaned up and welcomed the niece's family to the door, and Chen Zikun did not come empty-handed, and prepared a car of gifts, all of which were high-end goods such as silk cloth, pastries, cigarettes and wine.

The Yan family has three sons, the eldest Yan Huaide has not yet started a family, and has traveled all over the world, when the family is the second master Yan Huairen, that is, Yan Jinan's father, and the third Yan Huaiyi, forty years old, the family is prosperous, but in the third generation, only Yan Jinan is a little promising, and the other children have no intention of practicing martial arts.

Yan Huairen set up a banquet in the hall, seven plates and eight bowls are some local vegetables from the countryside, although there are not many meats, but it is also very lively, after eating, suddenly there are four big dishes, a pot of braised rooster, a pot of big carp, a pot of braised hooves, a plate of duck, sprinkled with red pepper shreds and green onion shreds, it looks very tempting, everyone stopped chopsticks and said they can't eat.

The little northern child is not sensible, stretching out the chopsticks to clip, but not moving, the big rooster made a tuk tuk sound, it turned out to be carved from wood.

The Yan family all laughed awkwardly.

Xia Xiaoqing said softly: "These four dishes are all wooden, and they are just filling the scene, and according to the rules, the guests will not move their chopsticks at this time." ”

Chen Zikun said: "Life in Hebei is so hard, no wonder your younger brother can't live and wants to be a snitch." ”

Xia Xiaoqing glared at him fiercely.

Suddenly, Yan Huairen said: "Second uncle has a reluctant request, and I hope you can agree." ”

Chen Zikun said: "It's all my own family, just say what you have to say." ”

Yan Huairen said: "Just let Ji Nan go with you, it's okay to be a service soldier or something, a good man has ambitions in all directions, this kid should also go out to practice." ”
