Chen Zikun said with a blank eye: "Isn't there a third choice?" ”

Lin Wenjing said seriously: "The mother who cooks is in her forties, she is a widow, and she is not bad......"

Chen Zikun is happy, this person, it is different to go to college and see the world, compared to before, Lin Wenjing is much bolder, and she is not afraid to talk to herself, but Wang Ma was unlucky and was shot while lying down.

Although the winter in Beijing is cold, the heating is also very strong, there is a charcoal cast iron stove in the house, warm as spring, Lin Wenjing is wearing a tight sweater, although it is not turbulent, but it is also exquisite, Chen Zikun couldn't help but think of those days six years ago, and shouted in a low voice: "Miss Lin." ”

As soon as Lin Wenjing raised her head, she was held in her arms by Chen Zikun, and the breath of a mature man came to her nose, making her heart beat nonstop, but she panicked, pushing her arms out, like a frightened kitten.

Fortunately, Chen Zikun did not make any further moves, only kissed Lin Wenjing's smooth forehead, and said: "I'll go to the gatehouse and build a bunk with Uncle Zhang, you have a good rest, and you have to go to school tomorrow." ”

Lin Wenjing was stunned, but she was embarrassed to speak, so she could only watch Chen Zikun leave.

……

Chen Zikun still had important things to do, he did not go directly to Feng Yuxiang to suggest to him to get rid of Xu Shuzheng, but went to his old acquaintance, Xu Guodong of the detective team of the Beijing Police Department.

Beijing's city head changed the king's flag, and in just two years, several groups of people have changed, Cao Kun, Feng Yuxiang, Zhang Zuolin, Duan Qirui, in exchange for each other, but the Beijing police system has not moved, Xu Guodong is still his detective captain, but because there is no one above, he has not risen in place over the years.

Chen Zikun's sudden visit made Xu Guodong very surprised, and a little flattered, Chen Dashuai entered Beijing in a small suit, and was the first to come to him, how important it is.

"Lao Xu, I have something to ask you for." Chan gets straight to the point.

"Say, as long as I can do it, I can definitely do it properly." Xu Guodong was unequivocal.

"I want to know Xu Shuzheng's whereabouts, the more detailed the better." Chan said.

Xu Guodong suddenly smiled: "Chen Dashuai, you can be regarded as the right person, the detective team has been staring at him recently." ”

"On whose orders?" Chen Zikun had already vaguely guessed the result.

Xu Guodong said: "Beijing's military and police are now under the dispatch of the Gyeonggi Garrison Command, Lu Zhonglin is the commander, it is he who gave the order, keep an eye on Xu Shuzheng, then again, what are you going to do?" ”

Chen Zikun said: "I want to find Admiral Xu to chat." ”

Xu Guodong is an understanding person, and he doesn't need to say it too thoroughly, he smiled: "It's difficult, Xu Shuzheng lives in the Jizhao Hutong Mansion, and he is protected by people from the garrison headquarters, if you want to talk to him, you must get the consent of the headquarters, you can't show up, this matter is really not easy to do." ”

Chen Zikun knew that even if Feng Yuxiang wanted to kill Xu Shuzheng, he would not do it in Beijing, let alone bear the charge of killing an important minister of the country, and if he wanted to kill, he had to find a wonderful opportunity to kill him.

Thinking of this, he said: "Lao Xu, don't embarrass you, just provide his whereabouts, as long as he goes out of Beijing, you can call this number." ”

Handing over a note, Xu Guodong took out the foreign fire and burned it into ashes after reading it, and swore that "as soon as there is any movement, call immediately." ”

……

Jizhao Hutong, Duan Qirui Mansion, the stove in the study is booming, Xu Shuzheng and Duan Qirui chatted with each other, Duan Qirui said: "You Zheng, I asked you not to come to Beijing, you want to come, Feng Yuxiang has an enmity with you, if he is not good for you, I have no soldiers and no generals, and I can't save you." ”

Xu Shuzheng said with a smile: "I know that there are tigers in the mountains, and I prefer to go to the tiger mountains, and Feng Yuxiang is not a tiger, I have what he urgently needs." ”

Duan Qi Ruiqi said: "What? ”

Xu Shuzheng said: "Now the Northern National Army is the most powerful, even Guo Songling has raised the banner of the Northeast National Army, I have a Japanese friend who lives in Dalian called a telegram saying that Zhang Zuolin's defeat has been revealed, and the Fengtian's family property is loaded and transported to Dalian, after Zhang Zuolin goes to the wilderness, the north is Feng Yuxiang's world, but his qualifications are not enough to sit in the country, and he is bound to be besieged by all sides, and even the great powers do not like him, so don't look at Feng Yuxiang is strong now, but he is the most in need of assistance." ”

After a pause, Xu Shuzheng lowered his voice and said: "This time I traveled to Europe and the United States, and signed a secret agreement with Mussolini in Italy, Italy will provide me with arms worth five million. ”

Duan Qirui was stunned: "There is such a thing? ”

Xu Shuzheng smiled: "At present, we have no soldiers and horses in Anhui, so we have to start with the help of others, I also talked to Sun Chuanfang when I was in Shanghai, he is also very interested in Italian arms, we have a trump card in our hands, we are waiting for the price to sell, to see which of them has a high price." ”

Duan Qirui said: "Feng Yuxiang is overturned, I can't believe it, besides, the war situation outside the border is not very clear, Guo Songling has always been radical, the Japanese don't like him, if the Kwantung Army intervenes in the war, the situation can be reversed at any time, Feng Zhang will be relieved, Feng Yuxiang will suffer, and the matter of your cooperation with him will definitely be in vain, and Zheng will be in danger." ”

Xu Shuzheng said emotionally: "The teacher is in Beijing, how can I not come, besides, I was ordered by the government to go abroad for an investigation, and I should come back to resume my life, who dares to say a word, I don't believe him Feng Yuxiang dared to risk the world's disapproval and kill me Xu Shuzheng, hum, even the international community will not be able to spare him at that time." ”

Duan Qirui was also emotional, and cried: "Youzheng, you are still in high spirits, but I am already old, and I am preparing to go to the field to be a princess, let them make trouble in this world." ”

Xu Shuzheng persuaded for a while, and the secretary came in to report: "The recent war situation in the Northeast, the armed intervention of the Japanese Kwantung Army, Guo Songling and his wife were defeated and killed. ”

Duan Qirui was shocked: "It's not good, the situation is going to change a lot now." ”

Xu Shuzheng was also taken aback, and said: "Zhang Yuting must have signed a traitorous agreement and ceded the rights and interests of the three eastern provinces to the Japanese." ”

Duan Qirui said: "Needless to say, Guo Songling's army was defeated and died, Feng Yuxiang is in danger, in this case, you will naturally not cooperate with him, then your value will be gone, and Feng Yuxiang will kill you at any time." ”

Xu Shuzheng was not afraid at all, Duan Qirui persuaded him hard, and finally Xu Shuzheng agreed to him, "Okay, I listen to the teacher, if the gentleman does not stand under the wall, I will return to Shanghai immediately." ”

……

At the Liuguo Hotel, Li Yaoting received a call from Xu Guodong and learned that Xu Shuzheng had sent someone to the railway station to contact the special car, and hurriedly informed Chen Zikun.

Chen Zikun said: "We are weak, we can only assassinate in Beijing, and we must not let the tiger return to the mountain." ”

Li Yaoting said: "If you can't keep him, what can you do." ”

Chen Zikun said: "I have my own way. ”

Quickly found Xu Guodong and asked him to secretly hand over a letter to Duan Qirui.

Xu Guodong has a wide range of contacts in Beijing's military and police circles, and this little thing can still be done, and soon a note was placed on Duan Qirui's desk in Jizhao Hutong, with eight words on it: "You must not go, you will die if you go." ”

Duan Qirui hurriedly sent someone to send the note to Xu Shuzheng, at this time Xu Shuzheng had already boarded the special train, laughed at it, and persuaded him to think twice, Xu Shuzheng said: "I have taken precautions, and I borrowed a team of guards from the British Embassy, and I don't think they dare to mess around." ”

The special train departed on time and headed for Tianjin, Chen Zikun got the news and sighed: "Xu Shuzheng is going, he will inevitably make waves, and the country will be in chaos again." ”

Li Yaoting said: "We must not let him go, let's chase him in a car, chase him to Tianjin, and kill him!" ”

Chen Zikun immediately agreed, quickly rented two Ford cars at the car dealership, and galloped along the highway to Tianjin.

At the same time, the news of Xu Shuzheng's departure from Beijing was reported by the secret agent to Lu Zhonglin, the commander of the Gyeonggi garrison, who immediately reported to Feng Yuxiang and persuaded bitterly: "Commander-in-chief, do it!" ”

Feng Yuxiang hesitated: "Xu Shuzheng is just a bare-bones commander, killing him will not only help, but also ruin my reputation, which is inappropriate." ”

Lu Zhonglin said: "As soon as Xiao Xu leaves, there will be many events from now on, if the commander-in-chief doesn't want to bear the infamy, he has a plan to arrange for sappers to plant mines and blow up the whole train, and there is no proof of death, who knows that it is our hands." ”

Feng Yuxiang said: "Ridiculous, if something happens in Beijing and Tianjin, it will naturally be counted on my head." ”

Lu Zhonglin said: "Then borrow Lu Chengwu's hand to kill him." ”

Feng Yuxiang said: "Things must be done foolproof, and only by showing their feet can we do it." ”

Lu Zhonglin said: "Don't worry, commander-in-chief, I'll deal with it." ”

At night, the special train was still staggering on the railway line, and the journey from Beijing to Tianjin could be reached in three hours, but the railway was busy, and it was often necessary to make way for the troop carriers to wait, and the wait was a long time, and the attachés on the special train could not bear it, and repeatedly protested to the station, and the staff officers of the National Army Transport Command learned that this was the special train of General Xu Shuzheng, and did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly informed Zhang Zhijiang, the general of the Feng Department stationed in Langfang.

After some coordination, the special train finally arrived in Langfang at one o'clock in the morning, Zhang Zhijiang sent someone to ask Xu Shuzheng to get off the car, but was refused, a moment later, the military judge led a team of military police to board the car, forcibly pulled Xu Shuzheng down, all the entourage was arrested, and the 17 British soldiers who were on the duty of escort were disarmed.

On a cold winter night, Xu Shuzheng was held in a British American Tobacco warehouse next to the station, with two heavily armed Nationalist soldiers standing at the door.

Xu Shuzheng paced back and forth in the warehouse, knowing that the situation was not good, Feng Yuxiang was finally going to make a black move, could it be that he died silently like this?

No, you can't die in Langfang in vain! Xu Shuzheng raised his head sharply and saw a window, his heart was crossed, and he brought the goods and piled them up into a ladder.

Outside Langfang Station, two cars came at a gallop, and the bright headlights pierced the darkness, which were Chen Zikun and Li Yaoting and others who were following after them.

"Look, special train!" Li Yaoting pointed to the train parked in the station and said.

Chen Zikun said: "There are soldiers guarding the train, it seems that Xu Shuzheng was intercepted, and it is okay to save our troubles." ”

Li Yaoting said: "It's a pity that you can't slash the enemy. I used to undertake the construction of the Ministry of Communications, and I am very familiar with Langfang, so let's find a place to live first, the weather is too cold. ”

The group drove away from the station and drove on the empty road, Chen Zikun had sharp eyes, and saw a figure on the side of the road, only wearing pajamas, and he couldn't avoid the car coming.

"It can't be that coincidental." Chen Zikun ordered a stop in a hurry, the car braked suddenly, and the figure ran away, Chen Zikun was even more convinced of his judgment, and took out a pistol and chased after him.

The man ran for hundreds of meters on the snowfield, and finally was so tired that he was out of breath, and stood with his knees bent, and when he saw Chen Zikun's face, he actually smiled: "Chen Zikun, I didn't expect us to meet again, was Feng Yuxiang sent you?" ”

This person is Xu Shuzheng.

Chen Zikun put away the gun: "Special Envoy Xu, don't come unharmed, Feng Yuxiang is Feng Yuxiang, I am me, what did I say last time, if you make waves again and are caught by me, you will not be as polite as last time." ”

Xu Shuzheng smiled: "Kill me? Okay, buy my head for 100,000 gold, you can really jealous me and my bosom friend, you Chen Zikun ran thousands of miles to Langfang to kill me, but you can be regarded as my bosom friend. ”

Chen Zikun said: "I killed you, not for personal grievances, but because I don't want the country to suffer more." ”

Xu Shuzheng said: "Warlords compete for power and profit, and disaster comes to the country and the people, and I, Xu Shuzheng, think that I still want to do something for the country and the nation." ”

Chen Zikun said: "Yes, I admit that you are different from them, but it is precisely because of this that your destructiveness is even greater, your era has ended, General, do you have anything else to say?" ”

Xu Shuzheng stood barefoot on the snow and smiled miserably: "I really want to eat fried salt beans from my hometown......"

"Bang!" A gunshot rang out, and the revolver in Li Yaoting's hand smoked gunpowder.

Xu Shuzheng's body was shot in the chest on the spot, and he was killed instantly.
