After swearing with Li Huangbai and the three of them, Chen Zikun finally had someone to talk to, and whenever he had the opportunity, he went to drink with these friends and point out the country, these three people are all officers who have risen step by step from the platoon commander, and they have quite rich experience in leading troops, and they can teach Chen Zikun some casually, which is enough for him to ponder for a long time.

Huang Shaohong's model battalion was stationed in Guangzhou, and when he was fine, he led Chen Zikun to visit the barracks, and the model battalion really lived up to its name, and the military appearance and discipline were not much stronger than other armies, and the weapons were also very advanced, such as the German Mauser and Makqin heavy machine guns.

Chen Zikun was very puzzled and asked Huang Shaohong why Lu Dashuai's guards used French rifles.

Huang Shaohong said that when Lu Dashuai was fighting with the French in his early years, he captured a lot of French rifles and had feelings, but the equipment in the army was still mainly German.

"The French are not good, the French guns are also very watery, since Napoleon, France's national fortunes have run out, in terms of the army, Germany is the world's first-class, Germany was defeated in the European war, but although the defeat is still glorious, if our country wants to strengthen the army, we must follow Germany." Huang Shaohong gushed endlessly, and his admiration for the German Army between his words was incomprehensible.

Chen Zikun nodded thoughtfully.

He thought of the words that Jian Bing wrote to himself: "Why don't you take Wu Hook and collect Guanshan Fifty Prefectures." "Born in troubled times, maybe joining the army is the best way out for yourself.

It's a pity that he is just an idle adjutant, he doesn't even have a service soldier under him, and the knowledge he has learned and his ambitions have nowhere to show, he has proposed to Tan Haoming several times to be a platoon commander in the army, but he is always perfunctory by his few words.

After a long time, Chen Zikun finally understood that in Tan Haoming's eyes, he was just a senior bodyguard with accurate marksmanship and strong martial arts, and as for leading troops to fight, it was more reliable to hand over to the officers who were born in the martial arts hall.

This incident made Chen Zikun very depressed for a while, could it be that in the eyes of others, I am a simple-minded martial artist with well-developed limbs?

……

On this morning, Chen Zikun took advantage of Tan Haoming's absence, found an excuse to sneak out, and went to Bao Zhilin on Ren'an Street to visit Huang Feihong, who had taught his martial arts.

Frustrated, he returned to the Tan Mansion, and was just about to go upstairs, when Xiaocui, the fifth aunt's personal maid, came over and said, "Adjutant Chen, the fifth aunt has something to look for you." ”

This fifth aunt is born in a green building, twenty-seven or eighteen years old, coquettish and charming, Chen Zikun is not suspicious of fraud, went upstairs and knocked on the door, the door was not closed, it opened as soon as he pushed, there was a big wooden basin in the house, the fifth aunt was taking a bath in the basin, Chen Zikun just saw a piece of white flowers, and there was a voice in his heart that shouted, "Not good!" ”

Sure enough, when the fifth aunt saw him come in, she immediately screamed, "Help! ”

Chen Zikun retreated in a hurry, how could he have time, there was a sound of stairs kicking and kicking, Huang Yongfu rushed out of the downstairs, holding a pistol with a wide open nose in his hand, and shouted in his mouth: "Catch the thief!" There was a clear sparkle of excitement in his eyes.

Damn, I've been tricked! Chen Zikun buzzed in his head, why didn't he expect that Huang Yongfu and the fifth aunt would be able to join forces to frame him.

This trick is so vicious, no matter how much Tan Haoming appreciates himself, he can't tolerate a lustful adjutant, and this time he will lose his trust at least and lose his life.

Damn, fight! Chen Zikun was angry from his heart, and kicked Huang Yongfu's gun away with a flying kick, grabbed his collar and threw it into the house, and smashed it into the wooden basin, splashing with a splash, and the fifth aunt's too sharp voice was like a comet with a long tail across the night sky: "Help!" ”

This time it really tasted miserable.

The Tan Mansion was alarmed, and the aunt's wife, maid, and old mother's guards and horses rushed one after another, and they only saw that the fifth aunt's room was drenched with water, and a half-naked yellow adjutant was lying on the ground who was unconscious, and the fifth aunt was hiding in the wooden basin tremblingly covering the vital parts.

"Catch the thief and take the stolen goods, catch the traitor in pairs, the fifth aunt and Adjutant Huang actually did something sorry for Tan Dujun, fortunately I caught it, and please be a witness!" Chen Zikun held a pistol, majestic, and said sternly.

"You are spewing blood, it is obvious that you are lying outside the door and peeking at me taking a bath, and when Adjutant Huang finds out, he will be beaten up." When the fifth aunt saw that everyone was present, she suddenly had no fear and opened her mouth.

Chen Zikun sneered: "If you don't want people to know, unless you don't do it, Fifth Auntie, Xiao Cui has told me all the good things you have done, otherwise how do you think I will see through your plan, right, Xiao Cui?" ”

As he spoke, he turned to Xiao Cui in the corner and smiled.

The fifth aunt's face turned pale suddenly, and she scolded Xiaocui: "You little slut! ”

This move was really insidious, Xiao Cui panicked and said incoherently: "I, I, I, I don't know anything." ”

The eldest lady has always been dissatisfied with the fifth aunt, and at this time, she just took advantage of the topic to play, she said with a cold face: "I knew that you didn't have a good heart, and you just stole the man, and actually stole to the house. ”

He said to Chen Zikun again: "Adjutant Chen, I have wronged you." ”

Chen Zikun put down the gun, his face was calm, and the guards stepped forward to tie him up and escort him downstairs to take care of him.

The unconscious Adjutant Huang was also dragged down.

The aunts and wives witnessed a good show, they were very excited, chattering non-stop, the concubines were harmonious on the surface, and there were a lot of things that secretly stumbled and stumbled, the fifth aunt was too innocent, and she was young, everyone hated her for a long time, and she didn't fall into the well hard to seize this opportunity.

Listening to the bitter ridicule, the fifth aunt's face was blue and white for a while, and she regretted this in her heart, not that she regretted framing Chen Zikun, but that she regretted that this thing was unreliable, but she never expected Chen Zikun to be so ruthless, and she forcibly solved an unsolvable dead end.

When the master comes back, he will definitely be thundered and angry, and all this that he has finally obtained will be wiped out, the fifth aunt thought of that scene too much, and couldn't help but shudder in her heart, if you want to live, you have to be ruthless!

She shouted: "Master, Xiao Wu is wronged!" Jumping out of the tub, he rushed to the dresser, grabbed a pair of scissors and cut his wrist, and took out a gold ring and stuffed it into his mouth, so panicked that everyone hurriedly came up and snatched it, but a gold ring had already fallen into the stomach, and the wound on the wrist was deep enough, and blood was gushing out.

After a period of chaos, the fifth aunt was sent to the hospital to be filled with sesame oil to bandage the wound, Tan Haoming also rushed back, this nearly sixty-year-old general was born in the green forest, heroic and righteous, and is a rectum, this kind of character is very good in the army, but it is not careful enough in dealing with the affairs of the back house.

He rushed to the hospital first to see his favorite fifth aunt, the fifth aunt originally sang Cantonese opera, and then her voice fell before she entered the fireworks world to develop, among Tan Haoming's aunts and wives, her acting skills are the most outstanding, when she saw the lord coming, she didn't speak, just shed tears, and looked grief-stricken.

Tan Hao rubbed his hands anxiously: "Little Wu, what's going on?" ”

The fifth aunt only shook her head: "Master, let me die, only one death can prove my innocence." ”

Tan Haoming was furious, and turned to ask the others, the next person came to the original what they saw, and now Tan Haoming was also confused, on the one hand, he was the beloved general he had worked so hard to collect, and on the other hand, the adjutant and the aunt's wife who had followed him for many years, which one should he believe?

It is difficult for a Qing official to judge family affairs, and this kind of case with no beginning and no end is even more difficult to judge, and the ugliness of the family cannot be worn outside, and he cannot find someone else to try it, after thinking about it, Tan Haoming decided to interrogate Huang Yongfu.

Adjutant Huang was escorted over, and he fell to his knees with a thud: "Overseer, the small one was wronged, and the small one was framed by the one surnamed Chen." ”

"Tell me, where have you been wronged?"

"A few days ago, the surname Chen was found robbing a woman by the Pearl River, I scolded him for not smearing the overseer's face, he held a grudge, today he took advantage of the overseer's absence, he actually peeked at the fifth aunt taking a bath, and after I drank it, not only did he not admit his guilt, but also knocked me unconscious and threw me in the fifth aunt's room to frame the two of us."

Tan Haoming frowned and said, "Do you have credentials?" ”

Huang Yongfu said: "There is no evidence, but the small one has been in the house for many years, and has been conscientious, how can he come to the rumors, the surname Chen came, and there were many incidents in the house out of thin air, this person is clearly a scourge." ”

Although this is unreasonable, it set off waves in Tan Haoming's heart, Chen Zikun is burly and tall, handsome and extraordinary, while Huang Yongfu is short and obscene, even if the fifth aunt wants to find someone to commit adultery, Chen Zikun is the first choice over Huang Yongfu.

Once there is a gap in people's hearts, it will be difficult to make up for it, Huang Yongfu has followed Tan Haoming for many years, and he grasped the changes in the expression on his face very carefully, seeing that he hesitated a little, and said a few more slanderous words: "I heard that the surname Chen has made friends with many junior officers, often in and out of the barracks, and supervises the army, I suspect that he has bad intentions." ”

Tan Haoming's brows deepened.

At this time, the housekeeper came to report again that Xiaocui, the maid of the fifth aunt, hanged herself.

Huang Yongfu was happy in his heart, as soon as Xiaocui died, no one knew the secret between him and his fifth aunt, but his face showed a look of grief and indignation: "It's all the harm of the surname Chen." ”

Xiaocui's death made Tan Haoming unable to sit still, he slapped the table and stood up: "Arraign Chen Zikun." ”

Chen Zikun was brought in, and he said calmly: "Humble duty, overseer Mingjian." ”

Tan Haoming said with a gloomy face: "Everyone says that they are wronged, who should I believe." ”

Huang Yongfu kowtowed like pounding garlic, the floor rattled, and it didn't take much effort to bleed all over his face, but Chen Zikun didn't say a word, Tan Haoming looked at them with a tiger face, and suddenly stretched out a finger, pointing between the two, and finally aimed at Chen Zikun.

"Take it for me."

The two guards rushed in in response and were about to make a move, when Chen Zikun elbowed the knee and fell to the ground, and in the blink of an eye, there were two more pistols in his hands.

Tan Haoming was shocked: "If you want to rebel, you can't do it!" ”

Chen Zikun unloaded the pistol magazine and threw it out of the window, knelt down on one knee and said: "Overseer, thank you for your kindness, the clear will clear itself, I don't want to say more, we will have a date later." ”

After saying that, he lost his gun and jumped directly from the window on the second floor.

A large number of guards rushed in when they heard the movement, and Huang Yongfu shouted: "Chase the assassin!" ”

Tan Haoming raised a hand: "Let him go." ”

……

Chen Zikun hurriedly fled Guangzhou, looking back at the city walls in the sunset, he breathed a long sigh of relief, and finally left the Overseer's Mansion full of mahjong sounds, opium smells, and male and female deceit, and left the Guangxi Army, he felt relaxed.

Where to go next, he was worried in his heart, Beijing can't go, Shanghai has no face to return, the world is big, but there is no place for himself.

After thinking about it, I finally thought of a place to go, the Third Division of the Beiyang Army stationed in Hengyang, Hunan, Wu Peifu!

That's right, so I went to the 3rd Division and joined the army.
