Chapter 20: A slap in the face of the second chief

Chen Zikun was still taken away by the military police and put on the train to the north, the lieutenant colonel was very polite, as soon as he got on the train, he let the military police take off the handcuffs, sent his subordinates to the second-class seat to rest, and accompanied Chen Zikun into the dining car.

The train was speeding over the wilderness, and in the distance was an endless green field, vaguely a mountain peak shaped like a calf was flashing, the carriage shook rhythmically, the waiters in the dining car walked back and forth, the table was covered with a white tablecloth, the lieutenant colonel ordered four dishes, asked for a bottle of brandy, and took out a gold cigarette case to ask Chen Zikun to smoke.

Chen Zikun sniffed a cigarette under his nose with a hand wrapped in gauze, and asked, "You graduated from the Japanese non-commissioned officer school?" ”

The lieutenant colonel said: "Yes, I'm used to smoking Japanese cigarettes, I can't change it, I graduated from Baoding Lecture Martial Arts Hall, studied in Japan, and entered the Army Non-commissioned Officer School, but now I have become a lieutenant colonel, it's a pity to think about it." ”

Chen Zikun smiled: "Haven't asked my brother for your surname?" ”

The lieutenant colonel said: "Exempt from your gui, your surname is Yan Mingsu, your name is Xiao'an, and you are a first-class lieutenant colonel in the Military Law Section." ”

Chen Zikun said: "I have been at the War Department for three months, why have I never met Brother Xiao'an?" ”

Yan Su smiled self-deprecatingly: "I am a copywriter from the Military Law Section, so naturally you can't see me." ”

"Since it's a copywriter, why is it the turn of Brother Xiao'an to come to this field messenger?" Chen Zikun said suspiciously.

"It's not thanks to you, the military law department of our War Department is no better than the law enforcement team of the Gyeonggi Command, how can there be any elite soldiers, you can't let the section chief lead the team, so it's my turn to go out on this hard trip." Yan Su struck the match and helped Chen Zikun light the cigarette before lighting it himself.

"So, Brother Xiao'an is not afraid that I will escape?" Chen Zikun said again.

"Hehe, don't be afraid, besides, how can you run." Yan Su smiled meaningfully.

Tacitly, the two laughed, the waiter gave brandy, and the two drank each other, as if they had known each other for many years.

After three rounds of drinking, Yan Su asked about the Lincheng robbery, Chen Zikun briefly described it in the Spring and Autumn Period, and did not hide what he did, although he said it was plain, but in the ears of the listener, it was indeed extremely shocking, Yan Su put down his chopsticks and hugged his fists and said: "Brother Kunwu is really brave, and he raised his eyebrows for my generation of Chinese soldiers." ”

Chen Zikun said with a smile: "So what, it wasn't brought by Brother Xiao'an with troops." ”

Yan Xiao'an laughed, took off the gold-wire glasses on the bridge of his nose and wiped them, and said leisurely: "This time when you go back to Beijing, if you want to slap Jin Cichang, you might as well smoke it harder." ”

Chen Zikun shook his wine glass and smiled: "Oh, how do you say this? ”

"Vice Minister Jin is a staff member of the president, known as the four murderers of the Li Mu, in fact, he is also the level of a staff member, narrow-minded, he will be revenged, and he can't become an atmospheric one, not to mention ......" said, Yan Su looked around, there were very few people in the dining car, only a few foreigners drinking coffee in the distance.

"Besides, the president is about to step down." Yan Su lowered his voice and said.

"Oh?" Chan looked very interested, and in fact he really didn't know the current political situation.

So, Yan Su gave him a science popularization of the current political situation, after the two departments of Zhifeng joined forces to overthrow Anhui, it was difficult that there was no suitable person to be elected as the president, so Li Yuanhong was pushed back to the forefront, and now Zhifeng has torn his face, Li Yuanhong has no need to continue to stay in the position of the president, and the old handsome Cao Kun of the direct line has always had a presidential dream, this time by the reason of the Lincheng train robbery, he will definitely force the president to step down.

As for the cabinet premier Zhang Shaozeng, this gentleman was a general of Suiyuan in his early years, but he also had some political achievements and enough qualifications, but unfortunately he was not a direct person, and he had been with Sun Wenmei in Guangzhou, Cao Kun and Wu Peifu had long looked at him unpleasantly, and in February, his reputation fell because he passed the demand for the payment of Gengzi's indemnity in gold francs, and once the cabinet resigned, and the cabinet was paralyzed when it was five shares, and it was only a matter of time before it collapsed.

The train robbery was even worse, and the cabinet's ineffective handling of the case was criticized endlessly, and when the dust settled, the cabinet would definitely resign.

And Jin Yongyan, vice minister of the army, caused trouble for the president at this moment when he was so busy that he was dying, first bumped into and injured Liang Qichao's eldest son, and got Li Yuanhong to apologize in person, and then made a big fuss, announced personal vendettas, and arrested the famous hero Chen Zikun back to Beijing.

Since Li Yuanhong and Zhang Shaozeng are about to fall, Jin Yongyan's second-chief seat will not be able to sit for a few days, so Chen Zikun can slap his face as much as possible, and he doesn't have to worry about anything at all.

The head of Yan Su's analysis was Dao, and Chen Zikun couldn't help but admire: "Brother Xiao'an is so talented, and he is a top student of the Japanese Army Non-commissioned Officer School, why did he condescend to the War Department as a lieutenant colonel?" ”

"Alas, you don't know, I am classified as Xu Shuzheng's party, it would be good to be able to keep my job." Yan Su shook his head and sighed.

Chen Zikun suddenly realized that after the Great War of Zhiwan, the Anhui system collapsed, Duan Qirui went to Tianjin to do the apartment, Xu Shuzheng is still wandering overseas, Yan Su, who is the remnant of the Anhui family, wants to soar, which is tantamount to a fool's dream.

"Has Brother Xiao'an ever considered joining the Feng Department or going to the south to develop?" Chen Zikun thought that with Yan Su's qualifications, it would not be a problem to be a chief of staff.

Yan Su sighed: "Zhang Zuolin was born as a bandit, and there is no market for these things of mine in his place, as for the south...... Who knows me, it's better to eat the emperor's food honestly at the War Department. ”

"It's a pity, it's a pity." Chen Zikun also sighed, but he was muttering in his heart, you and I have never known each other in our lives, why do you talk so much when we meet, and you are a military judge and I am a prisoner, no matter how you think about it, I feel awkward, but after thinking about it again, this Lieutenant Colonel Yan is a smart person, maybe he knows that he has a bright future, and he wants to have a relationship.

Talking and laughing all the way, smoking and drinking, tired and there is a sleeper in the first-class carriage to rest, when he arrived in Beijing, it was already dawn, Chen Zikun said that he planned to go to the hospital to see Liang Sicheng's injury, Yan Su immediately agreed.

"Just come to the ministry tomorrow and come to me." Lieutenant Colonel Yan shook hands with him and said goodbye, and left with the gendarmes.

Chen Zikun called a foreign car at the gate of the railway station and went directly to the hospital, the dawn in the east, the scavengers on the street swept the garbage, and the vendors in the ghost market dispersed in twos and threes.

The hospital has not yet worked, the courtyard is quiet, Chen Zikun came to the door of the ward along the empty corridor, and when he took a look, there was a slender figure sitting with his back to him on the side of the bed, and it was Liang Sicheng lying on the bed.

Knocking on the door gently, the slender figure turned his head, it turned out to be Lin Huiyin, seeing that it was Chen Zikun's visit, Lin Huiyin hurriedly came over to open the door, and said in a low voice: "Be quiet, Sicheng is asleep." ”

Chen Zikun tiptoed in, sat down on the edge of the bed, looked at Liang Sicheng's thin and pale face, and sighed: "Sicheng has suffered." He looked at Lin Huiyin again and said, "Miss Lin has also worked hard, and she must not have rested well these days." ”

Lin Huiyin smiled: "It should be." ”

Suddenly, Chen Zikun saw a pair of crutches next to the bed, and was immediately surprised: "What's going on?" ”

Lin Huiyin said gloomily: "I was delayed by quacks, I didn't need surgery, I just had to rest for a few days, but my left leg was fractured, and I finally picked a bone, and now Sicheng's left leg is shorter than my right leg." ”

Chen Zikun sighed, poor Liang Sicheng, a beautiful son in the wind of Yushu, turned into a cripple, it is really a trick, but Sai Weng lost his horse, if he can go further with Lin Huiyin's relationship because of this, he will not know if it is a blessing.

"What did the perpetrator say?" Chan asked again.

Lin Huiyin frowned and said: "Jin Cichang is a bully, Sicheng has not even been here once since he was admitted to the hospital, if it weren't for Liang Bo's mother going to the presidential palace to reason with the president, maybe he wouldn't even pay for the injury and medicine." ”

Chen Zikun gritted his teeth, although he had a bad feeling for Jin Yongyan, he didn't have a hatred for him, he just wanted to tease him, but now that he knew that he was such a shameless person, he simply beat him once!

He is a person who can't hide things in his heart, since he has decided to fight Jin Yongyan, he has to do it immediately, he is anxious for a minute longer, and he can't wait for Liang Sicheng to wake up, and he said goodbye to Lin Huiyin and went directly to Tieshi Hutong.

There were more and more pedestrians on the road, and the early newsboys were running down the street, shouting: "Outside the nickname, Cabinet Zhang has resigned!" ”

Chen Zikun hurriedly took out a big son to buy a newspaper, and on the front page was the news of Zhang Shaozeng's resignation, and the progress of the Lincheng robbery could only be relegated to the second page, but the content was strong enough, and the writer's wording was extremely fierce, scolding the vice minister of the army, Jin Yongyan, for being jealous of the virtuous and jealous, communiquing personal vendettas, and suggesting that this person be dismissed.

When he arrived at the entrance of the army department, Chen Zikun tugged at the hem of his military uniform and went in proudly, and the sentry at the door saluted him with a gun, but he was suspicious in his heart, wasn't Chen Keren locked by the military police and taken back to Beijing, how could he act like no one.

Chen Zikun returned the salute, strode into the courtyard, glanced at Vice Minister Kim's car parked in the carport, and had a bottom in his heart, so he didn't go to the Military Law Department to report, and went directly to the cross-courtyard where Vice Minister Kim was.

The Ministry of War was originally Princess Hejing's Mansion, and although Jin Yongyan was the deputy chief, he acted as the chief minister, occupying a courtyard by himself, with adjutants and guards at the door, and the guards were heavily guarded.

Chen Zikun didn't go through the door, climbed over the wall and went in, and when he came to the door of Kim Vice-Chancellor's office, he didn't knock on the door, he pushed the door in directly, and closed the door easily.

Vice Minister Kim is reading the newspaper at his desk, yesterday the Congress pressured the resignation of the Zhang cabinet, Zhang Shaozeng has already left Beijing, and now in power is the caretaker cabinet composed of vice ministers, and he is not Zhang, but President Li Yuanhong, although Cao Kun is under great pressure, but the term of office of the president has not yet expired, presumably he can sit in the position of army chief for at least another two years.

Although it was originally the deputy minister acting as the chief minister, there was still a difference between it and actually becoming the chief minister, Jin Yongyan was in a good mood and continued to read the newspaper.

The Beijing Daily published the latest developments on the Lincheng train robbery, and the bandits suddenly lowered their conditions, still limiting themselves to the integration of one brigade, and the dawn of a peaceful settlement had appeared.

Looking up through the riding boots, there were breeches, uniforms, and then a face covered in a white cloth, revealing only a pair of piercing eyes.

"Who are you?" Kim was furious.

The man didn't answer, he stepped forward and grabbed Kim by the collar, and slapped him in the face.

It's crispy, it's loud.
