Qiu Fuzhao said stupidly: "The little one still doesn't understand." ”

Xia Dalong suppressed his anger and patiently explained: "Do you know who Chen Shou is? ”

"I know, it's the enemy's enemy, the big pole of the bitter well."

"What did we do when we caught the pole in the past?"

"Behead and hang your skull on the tower of the city gate for public display." Speaking of this, Qiu Fuzhao became excited.

"If anyone dares to let go of the bandits without permission, what will I do, sir?"

"Who the ate the gall of the ambitious leopard...... Master, I understand, the surname Chen dares to release people, is to argue with you, master. Qiu Fuzhao finally bypassed this bend, and then his face was filled with righteous indignation, "The surname Chen is too deceitful, dare to get along with the master, master, you say a word, I ...... me."

I still didn't say a reason for a long time, Xia Dalong said: "Don't worry, after all, he is a military envoy sent by Beijing, even if Sun Dujun comes, he has to give him some face, not to mention that he has soldiers and guns under his hands, we can't help it for the time being." ”

Qiu Fuzhao said: "Master, what should I do?" ”

"Wait, wait for the letter in the provincial capital, how can you allow others to snore and sleep next to the couch, Sun Dujun will definitely not allow the direct family to stretch out their hands to Jiangbei, before that, don't act rashly, when you are fine, find more officers surnamed Chen to drink, and set some news out, understand, go back to the counter to pay ten yuan as funds."

"Understood!" Qiu Fuzhao was upright, and he couldn't be happier to be able to spend public money on drinking.

……

The moat of the county is the water of the Dawang River, the Dawang River comes from the spring water on the Daqing Mountain, a number of mountain streams converge into a river, flowing into the mighty Huai River from west to east, the best fields in Nantai County are along the Dawang River, the harvest of one acre of watered land can catch up with five acres of dry land, ten acres of hillside land.

Zhuanghu people have worked hard all their lives to accumulate a few points of water to water the land, that is the property that can not be sold to death, even if the family is poor can not eat, the family goes out to ask for food, and will not sell the watered land to other families, Chenjiadian is a village by the Dawang River, there is a farmer named Chen Laoshi who lives here, he gave birth to four sons, the eldest is called Chen Fu, the second is called Chen Lu, the third is called Chen Shou, the fourth is younger than the three brothers, called Double Happiness.

The Chen family has an acre of three points of water to water the land, Chen Laoshi relies on this to feed his four sons, the eldest and the second are all croppers, the third Chen Shou has been naughty since childhood, short-tempered, and has two arms, is a well-known stubborn young man, in the sixteenth year, because of the dispute over the ridges, Chen Shou killed people's cattle in a fit of anger, and beat people into paralysis, the other party is a big household in Xia Jiawa, and the brother Xia Dalong is an official in the county, the Chen family lost the lawsuit, not to mention the loss of one acre and three points of watering, the eldest and the second were also arrested and imprisoned, Both brothers died in prison, leaving only the youngest brother, Shuangxi and the old couple, to rely on each other.

Chen Shou, who caused trouble, left, and didn't return to his hometown until last year, he didn't come back alone, but with a dozen brothers, seven or eight fast guns, and the first thing he did when he came back wiped out the Xia family, and the county security team heard the news and was ambushed by him, losing a lot of brothers.

At this time, Chen Laoshi and his wife have died, and only the fifteen-year-old brother Shuangxi is left in the family, so he followed the third brother as a pole, Chen Shou's team often haunts the banks of the Dawang River and the area of Kushuijing, robbing the house, coming and going without a trace, many villagers who have no food to eat also voted for him, and there are two or three hundred brothers under his command, but the weapons and equipment are poor, mainly based on earthen guns, shuttle standards, and farm tools.

The day before yesterday, a team of people came from the north, more than 100 people, good horses and fast guns, Chen Shou had already received the wind, and planned to ambush them in the green gauze tent of Kushuijing, and change the brothers for a new guy, but the other party had already noticed it, did not enter the green gauze tent, and set up camp in the open field.

If he changed to another pole, he might have retreated, after all, the other party was a regular army, but Chen Shou was really jealous of the more than 100 fast guns - with these guns, he would be able to enter the county and kill Xia Dalong to avenge the two elder brothers, so he planned to launch a night attack, close hand-to-hand combat consumed the other party, if the other party is a hard stubble, it doesn't matter if the other party loses some brothers, anyway, they are all newcomers, if the other party can't parry, then the elite will be exhausted and won in one fell swoop.

The plan was very thorough, but something went wrong, that is, the only younger brother Shuangxi was captured by the official army, and this kid was disobedient and quietly followed the death squad.

Chen Shou hurts the fourth brother very much, he is already sorry for the two elder brothers, and he can't hurt the youngest brother anymore, he suppressed his anger and continued to set up an ambush in the green gauze tent, to go to Nantai County, which is the only way to go, but at the critical moment, the county security regiment actually came to reinforce the other party, and the other party's strength increased greatly, so Chen Shou had to retreat.

That night, Chen Shou attacked under the city wall of Nantai and set off dozens of guns to demonstrate, but the security regiment was not to be outdone and fired back with artillery, and Chen Shou had to return with a feather.

He knew that if Double Happiness fell into the hands of Xia Dalong, he would definitely die.

A woodcarved tablet was placed on the table, Chen Shou lit three sticks of incense, and said: "Double happiness, brother will avenge you, sooner or later I will catch Xia Dalong and scrape him alive!" ”

is ruthless, and his subordinates report: "Boss, double happiness they are back!" ”

Chen Shou hurriedly walked out to see that Shuangxi was indeed carried over, with gauze wrapped around his body, and it was obvious that he had been hit.

"Double Happiness!" Chen Shou shouted and stepped forward to grab his brother's hand.

"Brother~" The relatives met again, and Shuangxi shed tears.

There were also twelve brothers who came back together, which made Chen Shou extremely surprised, the government caught the bandits, and they have always wanted to behead the public, how did they change their sex this time, not only release people, but also the ocean!

The old bandit told Chen Shou that it was not Xia Dalong's people who captured them and released them, but the new Jiangbei Protector Chen.

Chen Shou had been a pigtail soldier under Zhang Xun before, and he knew a little about the general situation in the world, and understood the situation in Jiangdong Province.

He examined Shuangxi's wounds, put on white medicine and gauze, and treated them well, and Shuangxi also said that the protector not only healed his wounds, but also gave white rice to eat.

"I, Chen Shou, have always had clear grievances, people respect me, I respect people, and if I have a chance in two days, I will meet this protector." Chen Shou said.

……

After letting go of the bandits, Chen Zikun returned to the county government's back house, and Yan Su came over with a mysterious face, holding a small bottle in his hand, and the bottle was dark particles.

"What is this?" Chan asked.

Yan Su didn't speak, but took out a basin of water and sprinkled a very small particle into it, and the water suddenly turned purple red.

"That's how the bloody footprints came from, the door of the thatched house was sprinkled with gray manganese oxygen particles, which were mixed with the slag and it was difficult to detect, and the soles of the shoes were stained with gray manganese oxygen, and then when I walked around the kitchen and the pool, it turned red when I encountered water."

Chen Zikun smiled: "Interesting, who did you say put this gray manganese oxygen?" ”

Yan Su smiled: "Who else can there be, naturally they don't want us to live in the back house." ”

As he was talking, the orderly came in and reported: "County Magistrate Liu is here." ”

Chen Zikun and Yan Su looked at each other and smiled: "Please." ”

Liu Youjin brought a Taoist priest here, this Taoist priest looks very similar to that, three locks of beard, fairy wind bones, green sermon robe, holding a dust, carrying a peachwood sword, after coming in, he didn't speak, first walked around, and said extremely seriously: "There are five unjust souls here, since the poor road came down the mountain, I have never seen such a clever unjust ghost, but donor, please relax, they can't escape from my palm." ”

This is the practice of opening the altar, in the open space of the county government house set up an incense case, incense candles, yellow paper, purified water, everything, the Taoist priest holds a peach wood sword, and there are words in his mouth: "Taishang Laojun is as anxious as the law......"

A group of people stood by and watched the excitement, Yao Yilei and Jianbing already knew about the gray manganese oxide, but the two still pretended to be very frightened, Chen Zikun couldn't help but shake his head secretly when he saw it, women, they are really natural actors.

Chen Qingfeng looked intently at the Taoist priest's practice, although the procedures were all correct, he always felt that something was wrong.

The Taoist priest is still performing hard, drawing a lot of charms on the yellow paper with cinnabar, pasting them everywhere, and then using a peach wood sword to wear a few charms in the air and waving them, the yellow paper is ignited, a big flame, it looks very spectacular, and suddenly the Taoist priest is unstable, and he falls down and faints directly.

County Magistrate Liu hurriedly stepped forward to rescue, who knew that the Taoist priest got up with a bone, his eyes were hooked, and his voice changed: "I died unjustly~~" It was a woman's voice, obviously an evil spirit.

Everyone was suddenly horrified.

Suddenly, the voice changed to another woman's voice, still speaking Suzhou dialect: "You dead Taoist, dare to provoke me!" Immediately after that, the Taoist priest began to pump his mouth, and he hit him extremely hard.

County Magistrate Liu was frightened and stood at a loss for what to do, Chen Zikun couldn't help laughing, stepped forward and asked, "Female ghost, how did you die?" ”

The Taoist priest lowered his head, and the female voice was still talking, like a voice coming from his abdomen, "I died by throwing myself into a well, I died miserably, no one has come to see me for so many years, don't leave if you come~~~"

Yao Yilei's mouth that was eating snacks stopped chewing, and the corners of her mouth twitched, this Taoist priest pretended to be too similar, and the atmosphere created was really terrifying, which made her a little scared.

Jian Bing was also frightened, and turned his head and didn't dare to look at it again.

"Damn, dare to scare us." Chen Zikun didn't care about that, he pulled out the American-made M1911A1 pistol and fired three shots into the sky, and after three loud bangs, the Taoist priest twitched for a while, returned to normal, looked around, seemed to understand something, picked up the peachwood sword, and said in shame: "The poor Dao mana is not good, so I will go back to Longhu Mountain and ask the master to go, goodbye." ”

Then he turned around and left, not even wanting anything.

"The road is long and walk slowly." County Magistrate Liu chased him out, and after a while, he came back dejectedly and said: "The Taoist priest was frightened, saying that these ghosts are too fierce, and the military envoy, I think you should not live here." ”

Chen Zikun shook his hand with big eyes and said, "No matter how fierce the ghost is, he is afraid of this." ”
