Li Heihu held a long knife in his hand, glared angrily at Lin Yuan, and asked, "Are you Lin Yuan?" ”

Seeing that the battalion commanders had "defected", all the soldiers turned around and pointed at Lin Yuan with their knives, and in an instant Lin Yuan was surrounded by everyone, Zhang Xiaofeng saw that the timing was good, and said: "Don't arrest this rebel bandit yet!" ”

Lin Yuan was not panicked, and smiled indifferently: "Okay, I'm a fake, you guys come to arrest me." ”

As soon as Lin Yuan's words came out, he said that all the soldiers were afraid, if Lin Yuan loudly defended that he was the governor of the three eastern provinces, then the soldiers would not be afraid. Lin Yuan was so calm and calm, making every soldier muttered in his heart, if he was really Lin Yuan, he would offend him by going up, and he would be guilty of a big crime.

In this way, no one dared to step forward, and at this moment, only a shout from outside the crowd was heard: "Li Yingtong, can you be trusted?" ”

When Li Heihu heard this, he put down the knife in his hand and looked outside the crowd, only to see Guan Yeqi coming from a distance, and the housekeeper was quite prestigious in Fengtian, so Li Heihu put the knife into the sheath, hugged his fists and arched his hands, and said: "It turned out to be Master Guan, I don't know if Master Guan has anything to say?" ”

Master Guan pointed at Lin Yuan and said: "He is the real Governor of the Three Eastern Provinces Lin Yuan, he led you to the Fengtian Mansion Yamen to arrest the big corrupt official Zhang Xiaofeng, why are you so confused, at the mercy of that Zhang Xiaofeng!" Zhang Xiaofeng sneered: "Okay, you Guan Ye Qi, I won't pursue your guilt, but you ran out and beat a rake, Li Yingtong, arrest this Guan Ye Qi together." ”

Guan Yeqi said: "Want to arrest me? Tell me what sin I have committed. ”

Zhang Xiaofeng said: "Some time ago, Lin Yuan fought with the Japanese, and your housekeeper was able to take out a large sum of silver, can you make so much silver by selling copperware?" The source of your silver is unknown, as an official of the imperial court, if I don't arrest you and go back to torture you carefully, won't I lose the emperor's grace! ”

Zhang Xiaofeng's face changed, and in a blink of an eye, his face was full of murderous anger, and he said: "I see that you are a Jiangyang thief who kills people and extorts goods behind your back, and someone is coming, arrest Guan Yeqi for me and put him on death row!" ”

Li Heihu frowned and said, "Master Zhang, this master is a well-known good man, how can he be a Jiangyang thief?" ”

Zhang Xiaofeng said: "Li Heihu, if you disobey the order, I will arrest you together!" ”

Zhang Xiaofeng only has a dozen soldiers around him, but Li Heihu has two hundred soldiers, Li Heihu is naturally not afraid of Zhang Xiaofeng's hard coming, he saw that Zhang Xiaofeng was lonely, he actually spoke wildly, couldn't help laughing, and said: "Lord Prefect, you don't have many people under you, and you still want to arrest me!" ”

Before the words fell, I could only hear the people in the north of the street shouting and neighing, and in the blink of an eye, one hundred and ten soldiers came to the spot, and the officer headed by him waved his hand on the horse, and the soldiers were divided left and right, surrounding Li Heihu's people in the core, don't look at the number of this group of soldiers is less than two hundred, but everyone has a fast gun in their hands, and Li Heihu's people only have waist knives in their hands.

Zhang Xiaofeng said to Li Heihu and Lin Yuan: "Look at the musket team of this official?" Then he nodded at the officer at the head and said, "Give me all the knives of this group of rebels, and put them all in prison." ”

The group of soldiers knew that the Dao Dao knife could not beat the gun, and when they were helpless, they heard Zhang Xiaofeng say that they would be punished for their crimes, and they were all frightened, at this time, Zhang Xiaofeng changed his words and shouted at the soldiers beside Lin Yuan: "You have been deceived by this fake Lin Yuan, it is not your fault, as long as you arrest the fake Lin Yuan with us, not only is you not guilty, but you will have merit!" Catch him quickly, it's too late! ”

It turned out that this laughing wind used a method to attack the heart, first intimidating the soldiers, and then exonerating the soldiers, and when the soldiers heard this, they flocked to Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan was not panicked, and said: "Zhang Xiaofeng, if you obediently confess your guilt, I may be able to spare your life, but if you are so obsessed, I can't spare you." ”

Zhang Xiaofeng didn't know why Lin Yuan was so calm, for fear that the night would be long and dreamy, and later it would change, so he said: "Rebel ministers and thieves, everyone will be punished!" Quickly behead this rebel who pretended to be Lin Yuan, whoever took his head will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver! ”

Who knew that Lu Dao Lin Yuan actually laughed, Zhang Xiaofeng asked, "What is ridiculous about you?" ”

Lin Yuan said: "I didn't expect my head to be worth a hundred taels of silver. The words did not fall, only heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, in the smoke and dust, I don't know how many war horses rushed out, came to a close place, the people above turned over and dismounted, followed by the sound of a bullet loading, and the new group of people immediately surrounded Zhang Xiaofeng's people in it.

Just when everyone was surprised, they saw four behemoths slowly emerging from the smoke and dust, and they turned out to be four huge cannons!

Lin Yuan looked at Zhang Xiaofeng and sneered: "Zhang Xiaofeng, do you think that only you have a musket team?" Look at my musket team, huh? ”

All the soldiers knew this group of soldiers who had just arrived, and they were the elite combat strength of Lin Yuan's subordinates - the First Division! After the Japanese and Russians were driven away, Lin Yuan stationed part of the 1st Brigade of the 1st Division in Mukden, so that the troops would not interfere with the normal life in the city, so the troops were stationed outside the city.

Although they didn't meet often, the soldiers of Mukden were still very aware of the combat effectiveness of this army, and the rifles that could be loaded and fired alone made them frightened, not to mention that they also brought four cannons! The soldiers of Mukden were surrounded by the soldiers of the First Division in the core, and everyone was terrified.

In fact, the four cannons didn't bring shells at all, because Lin Yuan knew very well that at such a close distance, everyone would be killed if they used heavy weapons, so the four cannons were brought in purely to scare people, Zhang Xiaofeng's soldiers had never been on the battlefield, and these truths were not very clear, so he was scared when he saw the cannons.

When Lin Yuan went to the Yamen of the Fengtian Prefect's Mansion, he took into account that Zhang Xiaofeng would never be willing to give in, so he secretly ordered them to come, just in time for this tense moment.

The soldiers of the first division hugged up, Zhang Xiaofeng's soldiers surrendered without even the slightest resistance, Zhang Xiaofeng saw that the situation was reversed instantly, he was unwilling and helpless, seeing the soldiers walking towards him with guns, he was in a hurry, and fell to the ground with a "plop" sound, walked more than ten steps to Lin Yuanma, lay on the ground, and said: "Xia Guan doesn't know that you are really Lord Lin Yuanlin, you have never greeted you from afar, and I hope to forgive your sins!" ”

Lin Yuan sneered: "Zhang Xiaofeng, I don't care if you welcome me or not, let me ask you, you coerced the local rich businessmen and asked for congratulatory gifts, is this matter serious?" ”

Zhang Xiaofeng kowtowed and said: "Those congratulatory gifts were all sent by them voluntarily, and the lower officials never urged them. ”

When Guan Yeqi heard this, his face turned pale with anger, and he didn't wait for Lin Yuan to speak, only to hear Master Zhang's voice in the distance: "Lord Lin, the little one has something to say." Lin Yuan followed the voice and looked, only to see Master Zhang shouting at the gunpoint of several soldiers, Lin Yuanyu pointed at him and said, "Bring him here." ”

Master Zhang seemed to have no bones in his legs, and after being put in front of Lin Yuan, he knelt on the ground like a noodle, and said: "Master Lin, the little one is willing to testify, this Zhang Xiaofeng has done all the bad things, if any merchant does not pay the congratulatory gift, he will try his best to ruin other people's business." ”

Lin Yuan asked, "Master Zhang, do you have any evidence?" ”
