After a while, Liu Youjin finally spoke: "Chen Dashuai, why don't you and I join forces, dig up the treasure, and then deal with Xia Dalong together, how about it?" ”

Chen Zikun didn't speak, just smiled meaningfully.

"Okay, three seven open, you three and I seven, this will work." Liu Youjin slapped his thigh and said.

There was still silence.

"Four or six open, it can't be more, this is our Zeng family's money after all." Liu Youjin seemed to be in a hurry.

Chen Zikun snorted: "You pretended to be a ghost to scare the female dependents, I haven't settled it with you yet, if it spreads, the ghost of this county yahou house is pretended by your Liu County Magistrate, I see how embarrassed you are to be this county magistrate again." ”

Liu Youjin gritted his teeth, stomped his feet, and said, "Okay!" Twenty-one is added to five, half of the points, this is all right. ”

"Deal!" Chen Zikun stretched out his hand and collided with County Magistrate Liu in the air, and the two of them smiled with their own ghosts.

Boom, another thunderbolt.

Jian Bing and Yao Yilei came in with supper, two bowls of small chaos, a plate of dry-cut white meat, a plate of peanuts, a plate of cold cucumbers, and a pot of wine, and put them on the table, and the county magistrate Liu arched his hand and said, "Thank you, Mrs. Sister-in-law." ”

The two ladies ignored him, Yao Yilei gave him a blank look, she had a good impression of this knowledgeable county magistrate, but she didn't expect that he was a liar who pretended to be a ghost, and the image of County Magistrate Liu's painstaking management collapsed.

County Magistrate Liu smiled wryly, wiped the gold-wire glasses with a towel, put them back on, poured two glasses of wine, picked up a glass in front of him and said: "If you pretend to be a ghost, I will compensate everyone and punish myself with three glasses." ”

He drank three glasses of wine in a row, and Chen Zikun also accompanied him, sent Jian Bing and Yao Yilei back to the room to rest, and said straight to the point: "The treasure is not in a hurry, anyway, whether you dig it or not, it is all there, it will not run with long legs, it will fly with long wings, and it is the top priority to solve Xia Dalong, as far as I know, he and Sun Dujun have been very close, I am afraid it is not good for me." ”

Liu Youjin said: "Yes, Xia Dalong has a step-son, who was an adjutant to Sun Kaiqin in the provincial capital, and he also has a younger brother named Xia Dahu, who is a heavy general under Sun Kaiqin, I heard that he was promoted to major general and brigade commander not long ago, the Xia family has been operating in Nantai for many years, and the foundation is very stable, if I can bring him down, I would have started earlier, hehe, to put it mildly, the army makes you really want to tear your face with him, and you may not be able to win." ”

"What do you mean by that?"

Liu Youjin said: "Xia Dalong is in charge of the county's security regiment, and the family has hired twenty or thirty bodyguards with a lot of money, a quick gun of water, the wall of the Xia family's courtyard is high and thick, it is said that it is a brick made of glutinous rice juice, there are two wells in the yard, and grain and bacon are stored all year round. ”

Chen Zikun smiled disdainfully, there is no need to discuss military issues with a literati like County Magistrate Liu, dealing with this kind of wall, a small piece of TNT will solve the problem, but what he said is also the truth, solving Xia Dalong is not such a simple matter.

"And what do you mean?"

"In my opinion, first cut off his arm, and then cut off his head, grasp the overall situation, nothing more than a financial power, a military power, the soldiers of Nantai County are the security regiment, and there are two items of wealth, the first is the city gate tax, but all goods enter the city, taxes must be paid, and the second is the poll tax, the residents of the county have to pay a certain amount of money every month for the security group to suppress bandits, in fact, more than half of this money has gone into Xia Dalong's pocket."

"You are the Jiangbei Protector Envoy, you have the right to take over the jurisdiction of the security regiment, and after the security regiment is incorporated, the city gate tax and the poll tax will naturally belong to you, Xia Dalong's reliance will be reduced by half, and then find a few bitter lords to come to the county government to complain, anyway, Xia Dalong owes a lot of blood debts, this is very easy, when the time comes, I will come forward and let Master Xia confront him in court, and then you will arrange a knife and axe hand in the court, and take him down with an order, and no one can say half a word."

After speaking, Liu Youjin smiled sympathetically, and made a gesture of cutting melons, his fingers are very slender, like women's hands, it is more appropriate to play a female ghost, and it is a little lacking in momentum to do this kind of gesture full of masculinity.

Chen Zikun also smiled: "County Magistrate Liu, you are so insidious. ”

"Thanks to the compliment, I was also forced to be helpless, my father died a miserable death, alas...... Protector, what do you think of my plan? ”

"Clever plan, just do as you say, come, go one." Chan picked up his glass and drank it all.

……

The next day, the rain finally stopped, the county was calm, no one knew the story of what had happened in the county Yahou Mansion, Jiangbei Protector Chen Zikun summoned Qiu Fuzhao, the head of the county security regiment, and had a frank conversation with him.

"Captain Qiu, how long have you been in the security group?"

"Report, two years of work."

"I became the head of the regiment in two years, young and promising."

Qiu Fuzhao was very excited, every pit on Mazi's face bloomed, and he tried his best to learn the style of a soldier, straightened his waist and said, "The protector has won the award." ”

Chen Zikun said: "There is a brigade under the Jiangbei Protector Envoy, and the following three regiments, I think Commander Qiu is quite suitable, so let's just go to my mixed brigade to be a regiment commander." ”

Qiu Fuzhao was stunned, the head of the provincial army and the head of the county security regiment are not the same thing, that is the head of the colonel, at least a thousand guns under his hand, Master Xia's cousin is the head of the Jiangdong Provincial Army, and when he returns to his hometown to visit relatives, he sits in a sedan chair, which is called a grand style, he dreams of being such an official, wearing a tweed military uniform, carrying a foreign knife, pedaling riding boots, wherever he goes, the big girl and the little daughter-in-law are not allowed to revolve around themselves.

"Captain Qiu, Captain Qiu." Chen Zikun wondered why Qiu Fuzhao was smirking and drooling.

"Yes!" Qiu Fuzhao woke up from his daydream, quickly stood upright, wiped his saliva and said, "But Master Xia's side~~"

Chen Zikun said: "Master Xia, I will naturally go and tell him, I just asked about your attitude today." ”

"I ......" Qiu Fuzhao hesitated for a while, he is Xia Dalong's cousin, Xia Dalong has been good to him for a long time, not bad, not bad, Xia Dalong is a miser, he looks at money to death, and the members of the security regiment all rely on abduction and deception in the outer pit to get a round belly, even his own head is no exception, only fifteen yuan a month.

"If you are willing, you are willing, if you are not willing, you are not willing, big man, hurry up!" Chen Zikun shouted.

"The little ones are willing!" Qiu Fuzhao straightened his waist.

"Good! Drunken Xianju at noon today, I please, let the brothers go, don't get drunk and don't return. Chen Zikun smiled brightly.

Qiu Fuzhao also smiled.

At noon, several small leaders of the security group all arrived at Zuixianju, Chen Zikun asked Zhao Yufeng to accompany them to drink, the wine and food in Nantai County are quite cheap, a piece of ocean can eat the whole table of dishes, and the liquor is enough.

"Brothers, it's hard to build, don't save money for our handsome." Zhao Yufeng stepped on the bench with one foot, holding the wine bowl, blushing and shouting with a thick neck.

The brothers of the security regiment were also drunk, and they said, "Adjutant Zhao, pay attention!" In the future, it will be useful to the place of brothers, and there will be a word in the fire in the water. ”

Zhao Yufeng said: "In the future, we will be a family, we are all regular troops of the Seventh Mixed Brigade, and no one should be polite to anyone." ”

"Yes, it's all family!"

……

"Fuck it! Dare to incorporate Lao Tzu's team! Xia Dalong slammed a white porcelain bowl to the ground, and the servants were silent.

"Master, I didn't fall for him, what is the head of the regiment is not the leader, I am not rare." Qiu Fuzhao said awe-inspiringly.

"Okay, it's not in vain that my uncle didn't hurt you in vain, I'll help you talk about it next time, transfer to the provincial city to be a battalion commander first, and slowly rise up, or you can become a regiment commander in a few years." Xia Dalong was born in the army, so he naturally knows how to win people's hearts.

Qiu Fuzhao snapped and stood upright: "Thank you, master, oh no, thank you uncle." ”

"Alright, you can go down." Xia Dalong waved his hand.

"Uncle, will you invite him tomorrow?" Qiu Fuzhao asked.

"Please, the invitations have been sent, and they can't be recovered." Xia Dalong said.

"Got it, I'm going down." As soon as Qiu Fuzhao went out, he met Miss Xia again, and immediately sneered: "Cousin." ”

Miss Xia nodded slightly and went into the house.

Qiu Fuzhao was ecstatic in her heart, she nodded with me, she nodded with me, and went happily, almost hitting the laurel tree in the yard.

……

In the evening of the next day, Chen Zikun took the two ladies to the Xia family's mansion for a banquet, followed by twelve guards, the Xia family put up lanterns to welcome the guests, Xia Dalong specially wore a silk robe, personally greeted at the door, invited the guests to the living room, and sat down the guests.

A female student with bright eyebrows and bright teeth and a Yin Dan Shilin skirt walked in, Xia Dalong smiled and said, "Daughter, don't you come to see the escort and the two ladies soon." ”

Miss Xia was generous, walked over and introduced herself: "Good for the army, good for madam, my name is Xia Jingxi, and I go to school at the provincial women's normal school." As he spoke, a pair of phoenix eyes swept over Chen Zikun, today Chen Dashuai did not wear a military uniform, but a white suit, which was graceful and graceful, and the two ladies were even more like flowers and jade, and they were perfectly matched.

Jian Bing and Yao Yilei shook hands with Xia Jingxi respectively, and gave her a bottle of French perfume, they both felt that it was a gift from God to see such a beautiful and generous girl in this poor country, but such a cute and gentle girl turned out to be Xia Dalong's daughter, which really made people sigh a little.

"Miss Xia can come to play with us often in the future." Yao Yilei said.

"I must go, I'm worried that no one is playing." Xia Jingxi was very happy and smiled very sweetly, and Qiu Fuzhao on the side was fascinated by it.

Xia Dalong coughed dryly: "Xiaoxi, adults are talking about business, you go back to review your homework." ”

Xia Jingxi was a little unhappy, but found that her father's face was a little serious today, so she went down obediently.

Xia Dalong said: "Today Chen Dashuai and the two ladies appreciate their faces, I am very happy in Xia, I have prepared good things for you that you can't eat in Beijing and Shanghai, come on, serve the food!" ”

The servants first carried up four small round tables, one in front of each of them, and the round table was very strange, with a hole in the middle, and I did not know what it would be used for.

"What is this for? Do you eat hot pot? Yao Yilei wondered.

"Madame, wait a minute, it will be revealed soon." Xia Dalong smiled heartily, patted his palm, and the servant brought in four rattan cages, each containing a monkey, and the monkey was terrified, jumping up and down in the cage, squeaking and screaming.

"This dish is called eating monkey brains alive." Xia Dalong's voice suddenly became extremely cold.
