Chen Zikun's heart moved, Jiangdong Province is located in the Central Plains, is the land of fish and rice, if he can occupy a piece of territory, it is much cooler than being a regiment commander and brigade commander in the Third Division, but such a good place, how can it be a borderless land.

"Well, who governs here?" Chan asked.

Yan Su said: "Jiangdong Province is the territory of the Anhui system, and Sun Kaiqin, the overseer of Jiangdong, is Duan Qirui's protégé and Lu Yongxiang's old subordinate, but the north of the Huaijiang River is not within the scope of his jurisdiction, and the place I am talking about is Nantai County in Jiangbei, which was originally the territory of the pigtailed handsome Zhang Xun, and after Zhang Xun went into the wilderness, it became a borderless land. ”

Chen Zikun said: "So you want me to be the envoy of the Jiangbei Protector." ”

Yan Su nodded and said: "Exactly, this matter has long been planned by the Ministry of War, but it has been postponed again and again because it has not found a suitable candidate, and now this suitable candidate for the military envoy has finally been found, it is you." ”

Chen Zikun said: "Stop, you just said that coal and iron resources are abundant, and water transportation is convenient, isn't that a piece of feng shui treasure land, why is no one willing to take office?" That's not right. ”

Yan Su said: "After the failure of Zhang Xun's restoration, the former army of Wuwei under his command mutinied, Jiangbei bandits were serious, Sun Kaiqin had sent troops to encircle and suppress several times in vain, but lost the army, nominally speaking, Jiangbei is still the jurisdiction of Jiangdong Province, but in fact Sun Kaiqin has lost effective control of this place, so the War Department has always had this plan, and wants to set up a guard embassy north of the Huaijiang River, so as to fight against Sun Supervisor's army, but unfortunately the War Department has no soldiers to send, and Cao Kun has been busy with political struggles, and he has been delayed. ”

Chen Zikun finally understood that this Jiangbei Protector was a hot potato, but the more things that caught fire, the more attractive it was to him.

"Such a good thing, why didn't Brother Yan come out in person?" Chen Zikun said suspiciously, he didn't want to be used as a gunman.

Yan Su smiled: "I would like to, but I don't have this strength, if I hadn't met you, maybe I would have forgotten about it." ”

Chen Zikun said: "Am I so suitable to be this military envoy?" ”

Yan Su Zhengse said: "It's not just suitable, it's just a messenger tailored for you, you are the descendant of Wu Dashuai, your background is deep enough, and you are not afraid of someone making trouble; You are the son-in-law of the vice president of the Bank of Communications, and it is not a problem to raise funds; You were born in the United States and have a lot of relationship with foreigners, and in these years, foreigners are the hardest backers; What's more important is that you are bold enough to even dare to slap the deputy commander of the army, what else can stump you. ”

Chen Zikun said: "But I don't have soldiers." ”

Yan Su laughed and said: "This one is the simplest, Nantai is full of soldiers, it depends on whether you have the ability to recruit them." ”

Chen Zikun also laughed, Yan Su's words are true, he himself is a horse thief, and he belongs to a veteran in the industry, whether it is to suppress or caress him.

"How's that, would you like to do it?" Yan Su's voice was full of bewilderment.

"It's just that it's hard to explain to the big handsome." Chen Zikun was still hesitating in his mouth, but he had actually agreed in his heart.

Yan Su said: "You are not a subordinate person, instead of being Wu Peifu's civil war pawn in the third division, it is better to go to the vast world to kill a brilliant future with a knife and a shot, besides, Jiangbei is the frontier of the confrontation between Zhiwan and Anhui, and if you manage it well, it will also be a great achievement for the direct family." ”

Chen Zikun smiled and picked up the wine cup: "Okay, it's settled, let's go." ”

Yan Su was overjoyed: "Let's go!" ”

The two wine cups collide in the air, and the aroma of wine overflows.

"Boss, fry another kidney flower!" Yan Su shouted.

……

After agreeing on the plan of action with Yan Su, Chen Zikun went to the Liuguo Hotel to find Jianbing, although Li Yaoting did not tell him to stay at the Liuguo Hotel, but since he came to Beijing, how can there be a reason for the night walk in brocade clothes, the Xicub of the year, today's Shanghai tycoon, will definitely live in the Liuguo Hotel.

Sure enough, Jian Bing did stay at the Liuguo Hotel in Dongjiaomin Lane, and when he saw Chen Zikun coming to look for him, Jian Bing looked at ease, and he didn't look like he had just lost his temper, but asked Miss Yao if she had coaxed her.

Chen Zikun couldn't help but sigh with emotion, Jianbing was bought and trained by the bustard since he was a child, not to mention that he was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and he grasped the psychology of men extremely accurately, not that she did it deliberately, but she had this consciousness from her bones, and in the future, when she entered a family, Yao Yilei could never fight her.

asked Li Yaoting where he was, but was told to go back to his hometown, so Chen Zikun took Jianbing back to the Willow Hutong Miscellaneous Courtyard outside Xuanwu Gate, Li Yaoting sat in the courtyard in a suit and leather shoes and was chatting with everyone, the idlers of the entire alley gathered, the women also hugged their children around the side, and the wild dogs were even more arched under their feet, very excited.

After four years, Xiao Shunzi, who picked up cigarette butts outside the Qianmen Railway Station for a living, has now become a rich man with a lot of money, but Li Yaoting does not put a stand in front of his fathers and elders at all, and he is still politely still the little Shunzi of the year.

Seeing that Chen Zikun was coming with Jianbing, Li Yaoting bowed his hands: "Old and young masters, Ming'er Donglai Shun, I please!" Let's stop here for now. ”

Everyone dispersed, and the courtyard was quiet again, Li Yaoting looked at the cigarette butts all over the ground and laughed self-deprecatingly: "If you want to put it aside, so many cigarette butts don't make me happy." ”

Chen Zikun said: "When will you go to your mother's grave to worship?" ”

Li Yaoting said: "I said it to Baoqing, I will go to the tomb with Ming'er, I will go to the miscellaneous courtyard today, just to earn face back for my mother, the neighbors looked down on her back then, and none of them gave her a good face, guess what they said just now, they all said that my mother is a good person, have I blushed with my neighbors for so many years, alas, how good it should be for my mother to live, look at how promising her son is......"

At this moment, Li Yaoting choked up, and Jian Bing also had tears in her eyes, she heard Chen Zikun tell the story of Li Yaoting, and knew that his mother was a secret prostitute with a half-hidden door, and thought that she was only from a girls' school, but a high-level prostitute, and she was bullied by Miss Yao when she arrived in Beijing.

They were sad for a while, and the three of them went back to the Ziguang Depot together, and Baoqing Xing'er saw that Chen Zikun had brought back a charming daughter-in-law, her eyes were round, and she said that Da Kunzi was really a blessing, and Miss Yao had not yet passed the door, and the concubine's room was ready.

In the past few days, the world in Beijing has been chaotic, and the car factory has made a lot of money, Baoqing's smile lines have bloomed on his face, and he is busy arranging meals, and he said to Xing'er in private: "Da Kunzi's daughter-in-law, one by one." ”

Xing'er stretched out her hand and pinched him violently: "Are you greedy, and you also want to take a concubine?" ”

Baoqing exaggeratedly sizzled and inhaled: "I haven't even married the daughter-in-law of the main house, how can I think about taking a concubine." As he spoke, he reached out and touched Xing'er's little hand, although they had been engaged a long time ago, but because there was a three-year mourning period after Inspector Xue's death, they had not officially completed their marriage, and Xing'er was a person who abides by women's morals, so far Baoqing has not tasted it.

After dinner at the depot, Li Yaoting stayed here, and Chen Zikun took Jianbing back to the Liuguo Hotel to rest in peace.

……

Early the next morning, Chen Zikun first sent Jianbing to the depot, asked Li Yaoting to take her to visit various places in Beijing, and came to the War Department in Tieshi Hutong according to the agreement.

Since Vice Minister Kim left yesterday, he has not returned, and the people of the War Department have been in a panic, many people have not come to work at all, and even the sentries at the gate have been withdrawn.

Chen Zikun was dressed in a straight military uniform, his riding boots were shiny, and he entered the War Department as if no one was around, the courtyard was empty, and the doors of many offices were tightly locked.

There was no one in the General Affairs Hall, the door was locked, Yan Su took out a key to open the door directly, and entered the room, Chen Zikun covered the door in the back, and asked in a low voice, "Where did you get the key?" ”

"I worked in the General Affairs Department for a while, and I gave the keys myself." Yan Su didn't hide it from him, sat down directly behind the hall master's desk, took out a steel wire, easily threw the padlock on the drawer, and took out a brocade box from inside.

"This is the official seal of the army chief, Zhang Shao once served as the army chief, and the big seal is handed over to the General Affairs Department for safekeeping." Yan Su introduced, taking out the inkstone, ink blocks, two brushes, and three blank letters of appointment from his briefcase, and said, "Polishing ink." ”

Chen Zikun didn't dare to slack off, he personally took on the role of a scholar, added water to the inkstone, carefully grinded half of Cao Sugong, not much effort, the ink melted, Yan Su took the wolf and dipped it in ink, thought about it a little, and wrote it on the letter of appointment.

After writing the three letters of appointment, Yan Su took another brush, took a deep breath, and wrote the three words Dragon Flying and Phoenix Dance in the blank space below the letter of appointment: Zhang Shaozeng.

The writing of these three characters is completely different from the previous text, but it is exactly the same as the signature of Zhang Shaozeng that Chen Zikun saw on the official document.

"I'm good at imitating other people's handwriting, but it takes time." Yan Su smiled faintly, took the brush, opened the brocade box, and carefully took out the big seal, Chen Zikun hurriedly opened the ink box and waited, Yan Su dipped the big seal in the ink, first wiped off the excess red oil on a piece of rice paper, and then carefully covered it under the letter of appointment.

While stamping, he explained, "The letter of appointment is in triplicate, one for you to take to the post, one for the War Department Archives Section to keep, and one for the presidential palace, anyway, there is no one in the War Department, so we will go through these procedures ourselves." ”

After stamping the big seal, he blew on it a few times, and then turned out a long small seal from the drawer and stamped it behind the big seal, "This is the private seal of the supervising seal, without this, the power of attorney is not perfect." ”

Finally finished, Yan Su handed over the letter of appointment, Chen Zikun took it and appreciated it carefully, this letter of appointment is not printed on ordinary paper, but on the same thick and crisp paper as banknotes, and the four sides are also printed with patterns, just above is the five-color star emblem surrounded by Jiahe, and there is the file code of the commission word xxx at the bottom of the right side.

The text reads like this: The letter of appointment of the Ministry of the Army, appointing Chen Zikun as the Jiangbei Protector of Jiangdong Province, this letter, Zhang Shaozeng, the chief of the army. Behind it is the huge long seal of the chief and the long seal of the supervising sealer, and then the 13th day of June of the 12th year of the Republic of China.

"That's it?" Chan asked.
