Eight rounds of mahjong played, Zhang Pengcheng won more than 3,000 yuan, and a tube of good cloud soil, and then hugged a charming little girl to rest contentedly, Gong Jiaxiang smiled and asked Chief of Staff Yan if he also found a girl to sleep, Yan Su shook his head: "Public money is not used like this." ”

Gong Jiaxiang was in awe, and felt that his investment was secured.

Although it was very late, they still went back to the Gong family mansion to stay, this is a rare Western-style villa in the provincial capital, with a garden and a fountain, Gong Jiaxiang is a Christian, only one wife, so there are many empty rooms in the mansion, more than enough to entertain guests.

The next day, after using the Western-style breakfast of bread and butter, Gong Jiaxiang asked his wife to accompany Yan Su and Gong Zijun to the largest jewelry store in the provincial capital to choose a string of pearl necklaces, Mrs.'s vision is impeccable, this necklace is made of black pearls from the East China Sea, round and full, luster and magnificent, the asking price is 10,000 oceans, for the sake of Mrs. Gong's face as an old customer, she made a 95% discount, 9,500 oceans and took it away.

This necklace is given to Sun Overseer's ninth concubine room, this aunt's maiden name is Pearl, and her skin is dark, the Overseer's Mansion jokingly calls her Black Pearl, and she is deeply favored by Sun Kaiqin, giving her Black Pearl as a gift, it is very suitable, these secrets are revealed by Zhang Pengcheng, outsiders are insignificant, and the three thousand ocean flowers on the gambling table are also worth it.

Mrs. Gong also picked a string of platinum pocket watch chains, Gong Zijun thought that she bought it for her uncle, and she didn't care.

After shopping, Zhang Pengcheng was asked out and gave him two gifts, Director Zhang looked at it, nodded and praised: "This necklace Aunt Jiu has seen it several times, and I have always wanted to buy it, hey, what is this bracelet?" ”

Mrs. Gong said with a smile: "Director Zhang, this is a little meaning of our family's Jiaxiang, you must not be polite." ”

"That's embarrassing." Director Zhang smiled and accepted the bracelet, looking very satisfied.

……

A day later.

In the back house of the Overseer's Garden, Aunt Nine Pearl was admiring a black pearl necklace in the mirror in her bedroom when she suddenly heard the voice of the maid at the door: "Master is here." She quickly hid the necklace in the jewelry box, pouted her nose, rubbed her eyes, picked up the handkerchief and sighed.

Jiangdong Provincial Overseer Sun Kaiqin is an Anhui people, Lu Yongxiang's old department, Beiyang Army General, this gentleman is not tall, rude personality, is a standard martial artist, in addition to loving money, the most like to collect incense car beauties, the family has the latest cars such as Mercedes-Benz, Rover, Ford of the United States, and the nine-room aunt wife.

Aunt Nine Pearl is just married into the door, the heat has not passed, this beauty was originally the Qing people of the fourth archway of the provincial capital, fortunately was favored by the Overseer, spent 50,000 yuan to redeem herself and marry to the family, since then the chicken dog ascended to heaven, the ninth aunt is a fireworks woman, the most righteous feelings, others as long as she does what she does, it will be done.

Sun Dujun saw that his concubine's eyes were red, as if he had just cried, and immediately took pity: "Pearl, who bullied you?" ”

Pearl pretended to have just noticed the Overseer coming in, and hurriedly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and forced a smile, "It's okay, I'm blinded by the sand." ”

Sun Kaiqin said: "Don't coax me, I don't rub sand in my eyes, say, are they the fourth and fifth co-op bullying you?" I'll teach them a lesson. ”

The fourth and fifth concubines in Sun Dujun's mouth are the other two concubines, who often bully people early when they enter the door, and Pearl makes them completely fall out of favor and enter the cold palace with a little trickery, but in Sun Dujun's eyes, Pearl is still the identity of the victim.

"No, it's really not, don't ask, master, you can't control this matter." Pearl cried and cried, tears falling down like pearls, and the Overseer was very distressed: "Oh my little girl, what's wrong, you say, you want to kill me in a hurry!" ”

Pearl said: "In the morning, relatives in my hometown sent a message saying that my cousin hanged herself, and she died unjustly." ”

Sun Kaiqin said angrily: "There is such a thing, which county is your cousin in?" I asked the county lord to thoroughly investigate the case and give an explanation to the bitter master. ”

Pearl said: "The county lord can't control it, she was the turn of being a soldier, and she can't think about it because she can't stand the humiliation." ”

Sun Kaiqin said: "That's better, the soldiers in Jiangdong Province are all under my control, and if you say whose soldiers it is, I will send the Military Justice Department to cut off the head." ”

Pearl said: "It was a soldier under a senior official surnamed Nie. ”

Sun Kaiqin couldn't think of anyone surnamed Nie for a while, Jiangdong Province has three divisions, six mixed brigades, more than a dozen generals, and even more colonel-level officers, God knows which surname Nie is.

Pearl added, "I heard that this surnamed Nie's mouth is crooked. ”

"Oh, it's him." Sun Kaiqin suddenly realized. "It's Nie Nie's crooked mouth from the 11th Regiment under the Second Division, it's easy to do, I'll deal with this matter when I turn around."

Pearl burst into tears and laughed: "I know that the master is the best." ”

Sun Kaiqin touched Aunt Jiu's too tender little face and said, "Little beauty, you are talented when you laugh, let the old man be fragrant." ”

……

Another day passed.

In the Overseer's Office, Sun Kaiqin was reading the official documents, and the adjutant Zhang Pengcheng came in with a stack of documents and said, "Marshal, someone from Jiangbei has come to visit." ”

Sun Kaiqin said: "Is it the new Jiangbei Protector Envoy who is here?" ”

Zhang Pengcheng said: "No, it's his chief of staff, Yan Su, who came." ”

"Nope." Sun Kaiqin dropped a sentence, it is said that the Jiangbei Protector should be regarded as the deployment of the Jiangdong Provincial Overseer, and the Seventh Mixed Brigade is also under the command of the Overseer, but this Chen Zikun relied on Wu Peifu's support and went directly to the post, not at all to meet with himself, it is clear that he does not take this Overseer in his eyes, Sun Kaiqin has always been angry.

"Dashuai, he's here to deliver money." Zhang Pengcheng said, the white gold bracelet on his chest is very dazzling.

"Oh? Send money, what money? Sun Kaiqin was a little interested.

"Four thousand oceans, said to be a pension."

"Interesting, where is this?"

"Boss, please see." Zhang Pengcheng handed over a stack of things in his hand.

Sun Kaiqin pushed it away impatiently: "Don't read it, you can just make an oral report." ”

"Yes!" Zhang Pengcheng straightened his waist and began to introduce the situation, starting from Nantai County being surrounded by bandits, and said what the 11th Regiment under Nie Jinku had done, and Sun Kaiqin, who listened to it, opened his eyes angrily and scolded: "These bastards have simply ruined my reputation. ”

Zhang Pengcheng said: "Chen Zikun designed to get them drunk, disarmed the 11th regiment, let the bitter master come out to recognize people, and killed 40 soldiers who robbed and raped, and the 4,000 yuan pension was given to the families of these soldiers. ”

"What, killed forty people and swallowed a regiment of Lao Tzu! Damn, the surname Chen is too deceitful! Sun Kaiqin slapped the table and said angrily.

Zhang Pengcheng said: "The marshal is angry, to the ten guts surnamed Chen, and he does not dare to annex the marshal's army, the soldiers and horses of the eleventh regiment have been released, and the guns have been returned, Chen Zikun is afraid that the marshal will be angry and crusade against him, so he sent people to beg for mercy. ”

Sun Kaiqin suddenly remembered the face of the ninth aunt Tai Lihua with rain, and believed nine points in his heart, it seems that the eleventh regiment has indeed gone too far, but these years the soldiers do not rob the people, where to get oil and water, if he changes himself to lead the troops over, I am afraid that he will not even leave a living mouth, and the people of the county will kill him.

"Marshal, these cases have also been copied to the provincial government, as well as the State Council and the Ministry of the Army, and this matter has been stabbed to the sky." Zhang Pengcheng said cautiously.

Sun Kaiqin nodded and said, "You say, what should I do?" ”

Zhang Pengcheng said: "Chen Zikun is Wu Peifu's confidant, young and vigorous, killed forty of us, presumably he didn't deliberately go against the marshal, otherwise he wouldn't have sent someone to explain the situation, and we don't take care of this matter, the defense area of the 11th regiment is in the south of the Yangtze River, and he ran to other people's territory to rob it, so that people can be caught and killed, we really have no place to reason, and the case has been handed to Beijing, the world knows it, if the marshal raises troops to fight, I'm afraid it will ......."

"I'm afraid the whole country will spit on me." Sun Kaiqin smiled reservedly, as an overseer, he also has a certain political mind, since Chen Zikun is willing to put down his body to sue for peace, he just happened to get off the donkey, this hatred, remember it first.

"That'...... Can you see the handsome? Zhang Pengcheng asked.

"See, why not." The Overseers are humane.

Zhang Pengcheng said: "Then you have to ask the marshal to move to the courtyard." ”

Sun Kaiqin scolded with a smile: "Damn it, I have to go to see him, the chief of staff from Jiangbei is so awesome?"

Still, he made his way to the courtyard of the Overseer's Office, where he saw a shiny black sedan parked quietly, painted to the fullest, with large, white-painted, eye-catching, and new pneumatic tires, not the wooden wheels of an old Ford.

"Good car!" Sun Kaiqin praised.

"This is the latest Parker brand car in the United States, electric start, with three forward gears, 23 horsepower, there are few in Shanghai, and Jiangdong Province is the only one." A voice introduced on the side, and when Sun Dujun looked over, he saw that this person was wearing a colonel's uniform, wearing gold-wire glasses, and he was polite and polite.

"This must be Chief of Staff Yan from Jiangbei, oops, welcome, welcome, rare guest." Sun Dujun smiled, stretched out his big hand and shook Yan Su warmly.

Stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person, people are sending money and cars, the courtesy has been exhausted, even if forty soldiers are killed, it can be offset.

Yan Su saluted and said: "Good Overseer, the lowly Guardian Envoy salutes you, this car was bought from Shanghai by the Guardian Envoy, it is a meeting gift for you, and please accept it with a smile." ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, come on, set up a banquet, I want to invite Chief of Staff Yan to drink." Sun Kaiqin was in a good mood.

At the wine table, Yan Su reported in detail to Sun Kaiqin the predicament faced by the Jiangbei Protector Embassy Office, which was seriously short of firearms and ammunition, insufficient troops, too many bandits, inexhaustible suppression, and local finances were exhausted, making it difficult to move forward.

"I also ask the Overseers to replenish our Seventh Mixed Brigade with men, horses, ammunition, ammunition, and food, and we promise to exterminate the bandits within five years, and return the people of Nantai, Jiangbei, and the elders of Jiangbei to a prosperous and peaceful world." Chief of Staff Yan swore to this.

Sun Kaiqin was also emotional: "Okay, you have this ambition, how can this overseer stand by and watch, but the province's finances are also tight, the guard brigade of this overseer is still wearing straw sandals, using miscellaneous firearms, alas, it's difficult, so let's allocate five hundred sets of military uniforms for you, the military appearance is neat, and it can also improve morale." ”

Yan Su didn't expect Sun Kaiqin to allocate guns, food and grass, crying poor was just to let the other party slack off, and it was naturally impossible to get 500 sets of military uniforms, so he immediately expressed his heartfelt thanks to Sun Dujun on behalf of Chen Zikun.

At the end of the banquet, Zhang Pengcheng, the adjutant director, sent Yan Su away, and the two shook hands and smiled at the gate, tacitly.

Suddenly, a car drove over, Zhang Pengcheng looked at the license plate number, his face sank, and said: "It's not good, it's Duan Haixiang, the commander of the Second Division, who is here, and he must have complained about the 11th Regiment being disarmed by you." ”
