On March 31, 1929, Chiang Kai-shek, commander-in-chief of the Northern Expeditionary Army, issued a general attack order on Wuhan, where the Gui family was encircled. Yan Xishan issued a telegram in response to Chiang Kai-shek's Northern Expeditionary Army's crusade against the Gui warlords.

On April 3, 1929, Chiang Kai-shek's Northern Expeditionary Army captured Wuhan; The Fourth Army of the Gui warlords was defeated and retreated to Shashi and Yichang. On the 5th, Chiang Kai-shek arrived in Wuhan. On the 11th, the headquarters of Chiang's army issued a "Letter to the Gui Army", and the Fourth Army of the Gui warlords was completely disintegrated.

In this Northern Expedition, Yang Zhen, who was once transferred to participate in the war, was awarded the title of second-class lieutenant general by the Ministry of National Defense for his meritorious service. As the chief of staff, Qi Lianyue held a private banquet in his dormitory to celebrate Yang Zhen, who had returned from the honor.

The two were pouring slow drinks and talking, but they saw Ji Meichen uninvited. Out of etiquette and "affection", Qi Lianyue had to invite Ji Meichen to drink together.

Although Ji Meichen's drinking power is not high, ordinary men are not her opponents. As soon as she entered the table, she frequently clinked glasses with Yang Zhen and Qi Lianyue with pride; After only a few rounds, the two men who came up with a little bit of alcohol were already drunk.

Probably because the party was about to have an accident, Yang Zhen, who was hot and wanted to stand up and take off his clothes, had not yet stood on his feet, his legs shook, his body was crooked, and he suddenly fell on the chair, and then fell from the chair to the ground......

"Commander Yang! Yang Zhen! Commander Yang! Yang Zhen ......"

Qi Lianyue and Ji Meichen hurriedly helped Yang Zhen up and called hard, but Yang Zhen had lost the ability to answer.

"Third Wife...... This...... What should I do......" Qi Lianyue was so frightened that the three souls stole and the seven spirits ascended to heaven, and the beads of sweat the size of soybeans on his forehead fell down one by one.

"Hurry up to the hospital! Orderlies ......" Ji Meichen just wanted to call out to the orderlies, but suddenly changed his mind again: "Now, even if you send it to the hospital, it won't help!" ”

"That'...... So what to do? Qi Lianyue was so anxious that he trembled.

"What to do? I'm going to ask you! You invited him to dinner! Ay! Did you put poison in this drink? Ji Meichen was unusual, and suddenly asked in a fierce voice.

"What? What did the third wife say? You say I put poison in the food? Commander Yang is as kind to me as a mountain, how could I poison him? Besides, you and I have drunk and eaten this wine and this food! We don't get in the way, but we just poisoned Commander Yang? Third wife! It's a joke! Qi Lianyue didn't know why Ji Meichen suddenly turned his face, and he was angry and scared in his heart - this woman is a ruthless bet, if she opens her mouth to bite someone, I Qi Lianyue will die and be helpless.

"Are you kidding? Who's kidding you? People are poisoned to death here, and you still want to argue and deny it? Someone is coming......" Ji Meichen, who was full of anger, was about to shout out to the orderly again.

"Third wife! Commander Yang may have drunk too much alcohol and died of a cerebral hemorrhage, but I definitely hurt him! Please distinguish between right and wrong, and don't say that I poisoned me, otherwise I will lose my head! ”

"You did something to lose your head, how can I keep you from losing your head?"

"Third wife, you say a word, a word, only you can help me save my head, so please raise your noble hand! You...... If your third wife helps me Qi Lian jump over this hurdle, I will never forget your great kindness! Qi Lianyue was so anxious that he almost knelt down!

"You will never forget my great kindness? Last time I saved your life, you also said that you will not forget my great kindness; I have promoted you to chief of staff, and you have said that you will not forget my great kindness; But you crossed the river and demolished the bridge in a blink of an eye, forgetting all the kindness of the old lady; Now that you say this again, who will believe you? ”

"Third wife! I have always remembered your kindness, and I dare not forget it in the slightest. ”

"Don't you dare to forget? Probably forgot about it, right? You! You've been very busy at work lately! Sometimes I can't find a word to talk to you, I think you're just an ungrateful white-eyed wolf! Ji Meichen almost made all the words clear!

"Third wife! I am absolutely not ungrateful, sometimes I am just entangled in military affairs, and I can't often come to you to say goodbye, and I ask the third wife to bear with me; In the future, I promise to be there and never dare to delay at all. Qi Lianyue heard Ji Meichen say, "Sometimes I can't find a word to you" knew what Ji Meichen was referring to, and suddenly realized that the reason why Ji Meichen said today that he poisoned Yang Zhen was to use the topic to take revenge for not listening to the call in time before. Of course, it is also for the sake of obediently obeying the call in the future - if this woman really said that I killed Commander Yang, then my life will be suspended! Therefore, he had no choice but to express his determination to guarantee Ji Meichen.

"Can you really promise to be there in the future, and you will never dare to delay the slightest?" Ji Meichen wanted this sentence, so he took this sentence to ask Qi Lianyue.

"I can really promise to be there in the future, and I will never dare to delay at all, please believe me!" Life and death were at stake, Tianyuan made a choice, and Qi Lianyue had to endure humiliation and reaffirm his guarantee.

"Good! I'll believe you again! Let's not investigate the cause of Yang Zhen's death today, even if he died of a cerebral hemorrhage. In addition, if you can really be consistent in your appearance and heart, and be absolutely faithful to me; Not only can I keep you from dying, but I can also help you to ascend to the throne of commander. However, as long as you break your promise, I will shake out the fact that you poisoned Yang Zhen at any time. In other words, I can not only make you a commander, but also ask for your life anytime and anywhere! Where to go, whether to die or to be honored, you can do it yourself. So be it! I'm leaving! Yang Zhen's funeral is up to you! As long as I don't pursue it, no one will dare to be verbose. Ji Meichen said it and walked away - Ji Meichen didn't seem to care much about Yang Zhen's sudden death, what she was sad about was whether the beautiful man Qi Lianyue could bow down to her.

Ji Meichen's work can be regarded as ruthless - she handed over the funeral to Qi Lianyue and let Qi Lianyue be a filial son, she will not touch it; In the future, if Qi Lianyue doesn't listen to the call, she will have a truth if she wants to put Qi Lianyue to death!

Qi Lianyue saw Ji Meichen walking away, and he also knew Ji Meichen's sinister intentions in his heart, but he was helpless - on the one hand, he went to the capital city to see Yan Luo Tianzi; On the one hand, he was appointed as an official, and even promoted to garrison commander - he could only do what Ji Meichen asked him to do, and he was obedient and skillful as a filial son. Moreover, in the future, she will obediently and skillfully obey the call at any time to meet the physical needs of this husbandless woman. Otherwise, not only will you not be able to ascend, but you will not even be able to save your life—this is the difference between hell and heaven!

The commander died of a cerebral hemorrhage, and the chief of staff was responsible for the funeral, which is understandable - Qi Lianyue finally handled Yang Zhen's funeral smoothly. Because Ji Meichen, the "most energetic" and "most authoritative" third wife, did not challenge anyone, the eldest wife and the second wife did not say much; Everyone only cared about taking advantage of the chaos to make a big profit, and they also finished the funeral with the flow.

However, it is precisely because the "most energetic" and "most authoritative" third aunt Taiji Meichen did not make trouble and did not say a sad word to Qi Lianyue, who was drinking with Yang Zhen, that it caused even more speculation and discussion - the death and cause of death of the garrison commander Yang Zhen were rumored throughout Jiangzhou City - these rumors are not groundless, but rumor-like facts.

As Ji Meichen himself said, "As long as she doesn't pursue it, no one dares to be verbose." Although the world was rumored about Yang Zhen's death and the cause of death, because Ji Meichen did not speak, and it didn't take long for the dust to settle, and no one mentioned these things anymore.

After Ji Meichen, who was dissolute by nature, lost her husband, she summoned Qi Lianyue more frequently! Qi Lianyue has a "murder case" and a promise of "guaranteeing to be there when he shouts, and never dare to hesitate at all", so as long as Ji Meichen summons him, he will try his best to respond to the call in a timely manner, and he will not dare to violate it in the slightest - Qi Lianyue has become the "face of the call" who is called by Ji Meichen.

Because Qi Lianyue bowed his head and obeyed orders, Ji Meichen was very satisfied; Soon, Ji Meichen spoke well for Qi Lianyue in front of Commander-in-Chief Gu Xijiu; Qi Lianyue was easily promoted to the garrison commander of the Jiangzhou Garrison Command.

After Qi Lianyue became the commander of the Jiangzhou garrison, Han Chunfeng was impressed with him, respectful, and married his daughter Han Su to Qi Lianyue.

In order to protect the official and save his life, Qi Lianyue still tried his best to deal with Ji Meichen on the surface, but in his heart he was very frustrated and dissatisfied with the role of "face head". Especially after marrying Han Su, he has an indescribable dislike for Ji Meichen. But he couldn't jump out of Ji Meichen's palm - he could only swim between Han Su and Ji Meichen.

Learn from the pain and trace back to the source. Qi Lianyue thought about it carefully, the reason why he was in such an embarrassing situation today was all because of the "golden jade clothes" - Qi Lianyue didn't blame his father-in-law Han Chunfeng for asking for "golden jade clothes"; I don't blame myself for forcibly buying "golden jade clothes"; But he transferred his anger to the owner of the "Golden Jade Clothes" Long Zaitian family - he wanted to take revenge (Long Zhengyi) Long Zaitian - he wanted to avenge the arrow that he was almost killed that year, and he also wanted to seize the "Golden Jade Clothes", so that his psychology could be more balanced.

If you want to take revenge on Long Zaitian, you can't directly attack Long Zaitian, that will be seen through by others, it is revenge - Qi Lian, who has a fairly smart brain, jumped to a "curve retaliation" - he doesn't hit Long Zaitian, nor does he attack Long Zhengyi; But the spearhead of the blow was aimed at Long Zaitian's eldest son, Long Tianen.

One day, Qi Lianyue appointed a regiment commander and a company of soldiers to Binjiang Road to surround Long Tianen's "Guangci Pharmacy" and Long Tianen's residence in Beilongfu, claiming that Long Tianen's pharmacy sold fake medicines, made huge profits, and harmed the people. tied Long Tianen to the Jiangzhou Garrison Headquarters; And sealed the "Guangci Pharmacy" (the garrison commander also manages the pharmacy?). That's too much).

Qi Lianyue immediately released his words - if you want to save Long Tianen, Beilong Mansion must pay a "fine" of 100,000 oceans, and you must have a leading figure as a guarantee, otherwise you will be beheaded after the autumn.

The news came out, which made Long Tianen's biological parents Long Zaitian and Jiang Cuilian anxious; Jiang Cuilian couldn't care a lot, so she came to Nanlong Mansion to find Long Zaitian.

The gatekeepers Li Hu and Ma Long, seeing that Jiang Cuilian was coming, hurriedly reported to the inside, and the housekeeper Ji Gaoyang hurriedly came out to greet him; Qin Keqing, who was talking to Long Ye upstairs about Long Tianen's arrest, hurriedly went downstairs when he heard that Jiang Cuilian was coming, took Jiang Cuilian's hand, and welcomed Jiang Cuilian to Long Ye's study in the front building, let him make tea, and warmly received him.

"In the sky! I heard that En'er was arrested by Qi Lianyue, commander of the Jiangzhou Garrison Command, and he was willing to release him only if he had to pay a 'fine' of 100,000 yuan, otherwise he would be beheaded after the autumn; what should I do about this? You've got to figure it out! As soon as Jiang Cuilian sat down, regardless of Qin Keqing's side, she directly complained to Long Ye about her intentions.

"I've heard about this, and I was discussing with Keqing just now to find a way! You want to! Qi Lianyue, who used to want to 'buy' the 'golden jade clothes', now suddenly said that Long Tianen's pharmacy sold fake medicines, made huge profits, harmed the people, and arrested En'er. This is the drunkard's intention not to drink, his purpose is to want the 'golden jade clothes' of our Dragon Mansion. Therefore, I think that even if you pay a 'fine' of 100,000 oceans, you may not be able to save Tian's grace, and only by handing over the 'golden jade clothes' can you keep En'er safe. Long Ye calmly analyzed.

"Do you have to give away the heirloom of the Dragon Mansion's 'Golden Jade Clothes'? Is there no other way to think of it? Jiang Cuilian knew that the "golden jade clothes" were heirlooms that had been saved by the lives of several generations of the Dragon Mansion, and it was not the only good way to exchange this priceless treasure for Long Tianen's life.

"As long as you can save the life of Heavenly Grace, why not send the 'golden jade clothes' out? Even if you destroy your family, you will not hesitate to relieve the difficulties; Saving people is the most important thing! Qin Keqing, who understands righteousness, interjected on the side, she believes that saving Long Tian'en is more important than asking for "golden jade clothes".

"You ......" Long Zaitian and Jiang Cuilian said the word "you" to Qin Keqing in unison, and this word "you" contains various ingredients such as gratitude, admiration, appreciation, and joy.

"Really! I'm telling the truth! In my opinion: people are the most important; All the treasures of gold and silver are things that are outside the body; With people, there will be everything. Besides, Tian'en is the heart and soul of the two of you, how can you cherish the treasure and not save it? Qin Keqing once again clarified his concept and intentions.

"Then do what Keqing said!" After listening to Qin Keqing's words, Long Ye was very emotional, and he resolutely made a decision.

"Thank you, Keqing! Thank you also in the sky! It is really commendable that you can have such a noble and generous mind, and I admire it to the fullest. But I think it's too cheap for him to give the Dragon Mansion heirloom 'Golden Jade Clothes' to that Qi Lianyue for nothing! So be it! In the past, when Yang Zhen of the garrison headquarters was asked to shoot Qi Lianyue, didn't Yang Zhen's third wife, Ji Meichen, come to ask Zaitian? Can you go find Ji Meichen in heaven now? ”

"I think Sister Cuilian's idea can be tried. At the beginning, you asked Yang Zhen of the garrison headquarters to shoot Qi Lianyue, and Ji Meichen interceded, saying that if you give her face in this matter, then everyone will be good friends in the future, and if you have anything to do, just go to her. He also said that if you have time to go to the headquarters to play, as long as you say that you are Ji Meichen's friend, the door will not be blocked. Qin Keqing took out what Ji Meichen said before and persuaded Master Long.

"That time, this time. I don't know if this Ji Meichen still admits this account! Besides, it was Yang Zhen who was the commander before; Now Qi Lianyue is the commander; It's a different story! Long Zaitian said a little unhappily - he didn't want to talk to that lady in his heart.

"What's the difference? That Qi Lianyue didn't get it from Ji Meichen, he dared not listen to Ji Meichen? Qin Keqing said again.

"Oops! Ji Meichen now admits this account or not, you will find out when you go there! For En'er's sake, you can go and talk about it! Jiang Cuilian urged.

"Good! I'll try it tomorrow with this old face. "Long Zaitian didn't want Jiang Cuilian to be anxious.

The next day, Long Ye took the two gold bars that Ji Meichen sent last time with him, and went to the Jiangzhou Garrison Headquarters. The soldier standing guard at the gate heard that he was Ji Meichen's friend, and he was really unimpeded.

Long Ye went to Ji Meichen's residence and said hello to Ji Meichen first!

"Hello Third Wife!"

"You ......"

"The third lady is really a noble person and forgetful! I'm the dragon of 'Guangji Pharmacy'! ”

"Yo! It's Master Long, Boss Long, you see how bad my memory is; Have a seat! Have a seat! ”

"Third wife! These are the two gold bars you put with me last time, and now they are being returned. ”

"Two gold bars? Oh! It's the medical expenses I gave to Ling Gongzi last time to save Xiao Qi, right? "I don't know if Ji Meichen really doesn't remember, or if he's playing with social experience.

"If a child is injured, how can you break the bank? Take it! ”

"Good! This is what you literati say is better than obeying your fate, then I have no choice but to accept it! Ji Meichen said as he placed the two gold bars in a small box on the table.

"Third wife! I have something I want to trouble today, please help. ”

"What's the matter?" Ji Meichen asked with a big grin.

"My son, Long Tianen, opened a 'Guangci Pharmacy' on Binjiang Road; the former Commander Qi suddenly surrounded my son's 'Guangci Pharmacy' and my son's residence, claiming that Long Tianen's pharmacy sold counterfeit medicines, made huge profits, and harmed the people. arrested Long Tianen to the Jiangzhou Garrison Headquarters; And sealed the 'Guangci Pharmacy'. I assure the third wife that our Long family has never done such immoral things; Please also ask Commander Qi to investigate more carefully in the name of the old commander's wife. "Long Zaitian is very artistic to speak - he didn't directly ask Ji Meichen to tell Qi Lianyue to release people; Instead, he asked Ji Meichen to ask Commander Qi to investigate more carefully in the name of the old commander's wife. In this way, Ji Meichen can accept it and come forward.

"Oh! Is that what happened? When will I ask Commander Qi to see what the situation is; You will come tomorrow afternoon to hear the letter. "If Qi Lianyue wants to release a person, this is a piece of cake for Ji Meichen; But she still asked Long Ye to come tomorrow afternoon to listen to the letter.

"Good, good! That's thanks to Mrs. Three! ”

"Thanks for what? I don't know if it's going to work out! "Ji Meichen is playing social experience again.

"With the third wife coming forward, things will definitely be done!" The dragon helped Ji Meichen set the tone in the sky.

"I hope so!"

"Then I'll take my leave!"

"Master Long, go slowly!"

In the afternoon of the next day, Long Zaitian came to the garrison headquarters again to listen to the news. Ji Meichen took the initiative to tell him: According to what Commander Qi knew, the "Guangci Pharmacy" did sell counterfeit medicines. Originally, he had to pay a "fine" of 100,000 yuan, and he had to have a leading figure as a guarantee, otherwise he would be beheaded after the autumn. Now, after Ji Meichen's repeated mediation, Long Tianen was asked to pay a "fine" of 20,000 oceans to the Jiangzhou Garrison Headquarters to take Long Tianen back. Although the dragon is a little unhappy in his heart - this is completely out of nowhere! But I still repeatedly thanked Ji Meichen for helping a lot.

Dai Xiaocen had already received the news of Long Ye and knew that Ji Meichen could save Long Tianen today; She received a call from Master Long, and hurriedly took out 20,000 oceans, sent them with the housekeeper Liu Huadong, and took the boss Long Tianen back, and the "Guangci Pharmacy" was also opened.

Qi Lianyue received 20,000 oceans from Beilong Mansion, and he didn't dare to swallow them alone, so he immediately sent 10,000 oceans to Ji Meichen - both of them were overjoyed.

Shortly thereafter, I don't know which link went wrong, and the Jiangzhou garrison commander Qi Lianyue acted as Ji Meichen's "face", which was actually learned by his wife Han Su; Han Su tortured Qi Lianyue. Under Han Su's repeated questioning, Qi Lianyue had no choice but to spit out the truth. Since then, Han Su hated Ji Meichen very much, and also despised Qi Lianyue very much, and often talked about it - the scandal between Qi Lianyue and Ji Meichen spread rapidly in Jiangzhou.

The scandal between Qi Lianyue and Ji Meichen spread in Jiangzhou, and some veterans of the Jiangzhou Garrison Command also had a lot of complaints about Qi Lianyue. After some discussion, they impeached Gu Xijiu for negligence and nepotism in the Ministry of National Defense; and Qi Lianyue's ugly life and military incompetence. The Ministry of National Defense appointed Li Mengchao, a member of the National Defense Commission, as a special commissioner to investigate in Jiangzhou, and all the truth was revealed. With an official letter, he dismissed all positions in Qi Lianyue's army and became a correspondent in the 73rd Division; Gu Xijiu was also punished with a "major demerit". The Dragon Mansion has been at peace ever since.
