Chapter 592: Wine is poisonous

"I've seen Lord Li, please say hello to Lord Li!" Regardless of Li Hongzhang's identity as the marshal of the Huai Army, or the generosity of the wealth boy, the people around him asked for peace one after another, but the foreigners were ignored.

It's just that there are still a very small number of high-level people who recognize the identity of this foreigner and hurriedly come forward to shake hands and say hello.

Under his guidance, the Huai Army eliminated the old muskets in batches, purchased more modern new rifles and artillery, established a foreign artillery battalion, and changed the combat mode to a new method of using new rifle assault under the cover of artillery, and also compiled a troop drill course for the Huai Army, a complete French army training method, which won the trust of Li Hongzhang and was also respected by the generals of the Huai Army.

For those who don't know Biner, Li Hongzhang introduced the characteristics, then arched his hand and said with a smile: "Today is the best time for Lord Zhang's young son to be full moon, you and I come together to congratulate you, feel free to do so, hahahaha~~"

In the laughter, Li Hongzhang and Biner were welcomed into the inner courtyard, and it is generally said that the big family is to place the guests in different areas according to their status, and only the most noble people will be arranged in the inner hall, often only a dozen people are arranged in the inner hall, and the main family will go outside to toast when the time is almost up.

"Master Zhang, congratulations!" As soon as he stepped into the door of the inner hall, Biner was still smiling slightly, and Li Hongzhang had already said his joy loudly.

There were more than a dozen people sitting in the room, including Gong Deshu, Zhang Zongyu, Su Tianfu, Miao Peilin and other high-level leaders of the Twist Army, as well as Zhou Shengbo, Liu Mingchuan, Zhang Shusheng and other generals from Luzhou regimental training.

"Mr. Lee and Mr. Binel are here. Zhang's wall is shining, please take a seat! Zhang Lexing's face was full of joy. Stretch out your arms to make the head up.

After all, Li Hongzhang is a big handsome, and the nominal big handsome is also a big handsome. The scene always has to go, when the young son is full moon, Zhang Lexing doesn't want to make any unpleasantness, and Biner is detached, and ordinary people will not offend foreigners under normal circumstances.

"Lord Zhang is happy with his son, and Li is giving a small gift, I hope you don't want to dislike it!" Li Hongzhang took a jade pendant from his waist and handed it over.

For example, the wedding banquets within the Huai Army like theirs are all their own family members. Giving too heavy a gift seems to be raw, Zhang Xingle also understands this truth, takes it, and says with a smile: "Thank you, Lord Li, but Zhang is disrespectful." ”

Biner also took out a pure gold longevity lock, handed it over and said, "Lord Zhang, this is my gift, please accept it." ”

"Thank you, Mr. Binel! Come, you two sit down. Zhang Lexing took the longevity lock. Reach out again.

Li Hongzhang and Bi Nell both sat in the chief, and the banquet officially began. The atmosphere was harmonious, Zhang Lexing also went out to toast once, and those who came back did not refuse. He's going to have a good time tonight.

Before I knew it, I had already drunk three rounds. Li Hongzhang seemed to be unsatisfied, and took the initiative to pick up the wine jug and pour the wine. But the wine jug was empty, he didn't pour it out, he picked up another one, it was still empty, Zhang Lexing immediately turned around and called: "Bring the wine!" ”

"Yes!" After a short period of time, the two maidservants came with flasks in their hands and poured wine for the distinguished guests at the two tables.

"Zilala~~" The crystal liquor was poured into the wine glass in turn, and the people on Li Hongzhang's side had a little microscopic eccentricity, some people were still a little nervous, and the expressions of some people on Zhang Lexing's side also changed insignificantly.

However, Zhang Lexing was full of joy, and did not notice this subtlety, and after everyone's wine was full, he raised his glass and saluted: "Thank you for your support today, I Zhang Mou will do it first!" As he spoke, he drank it all in one gulp.

"Lord Zhang is polite!" Everyone humbly drank it dry.

"Oops~~" Not long after the cup was put down, a shredded meat had just been stuffed into his mouth, Zhou Shengbo suddenly screamed, holding his stomach in his hand and his face was full of pain, and he fell to the ground with a thud.

"This" Zhang Lexing was startled, he was half drunk and half awake and he didn't know what was going on.

"Oops~~ My stomach hurts!" Zhang Shusheng also covered his stomach.

"Oops, hey~~" As if they were infected, Li Hongzhang, Bi Neier and Liu Mingchuan covered their stomachs one after another, their faces were full of pain, and even Gong Deshu and others on Zhang Lexing's side also shouted loudly one after another, in less than a minute, a large area of the ground had already fallen, and the only ones who were still sitting on the chair were Zhang Lexing, Zhang Zongyu and Su Jinfu!

"What's going on, what's going on?" Suddenly changed, Zhang Lexing's wine finally woke up in fright, and asked repeatedly, but he didn't wake up completely, just sitting on the chair and asking, and there were no other specific measures.

But Zhang Zongyu is different, an instant chill spreads all over the body, on the day of his uncle's big day, the VIPs are suspected of being poisoned, and they are all generals of the Huai Army who hold military power, and more importantly, Li Hongzhang and others are clearly separated from the generals from the Twist Army, and the only ones who have not had an accident are themselves, their uncle and Su Jinfu.

This leaves people with infinite imagination space, regardless of whether there is a conspiracy or not, if this kind of thing is not handled well, it will be a hundred jumps in the Yellow River that can't be washed away!

In fact, it is a good way to solve the problem if you make a mistake, but Zhang Lexing is not ready to kill Li Hongzhang and others, he really wants to hold a wedding banquet, if he rashly opens up a killer, the Huai army will immediately rebel in the nest, and the Democratic Alliance army will be cheapened in vain, especially there are many generals of the original twist army who have fallen to the ground, which is even more reckless.

Zhang Zongyu immediately shouted: "Call the doctor quickly!" ”

"Zhang Gongzi, let's get rid of it!" At this time, a weak and angry voice came: "The doctor is here, I'm afraid we will die faster!" ”

Sure enough, the worst thing happened, Zhang Zongyu's heart sank, Zhang Lexing also smelled a trace of unusual smell, and asked in a trembling voice: "Zhang Shusheng, what do you mean?" ”

Zhang Shusheng said coldly: "Lord Zhang, why are we all poisoned, just you, your nephew, and Master Su are safe and sound?" It's not clear, but you're going to take advantage of the wedding feast to get all of us!

Zhang Lexing, you are so vicious, the handsome man reached out to you in the most difficult time, gave you food, gave you guns and artillery, and also paid a lot of money to invite foreigners to train the army, what is the point of the handsome man who is sorry for you, you actually want to do this? Well? Oops~~"

"Fuck you! How could a lieutenant marshal be such a person? Su Jinfu's face flushed, and he said angrily.

Li Hongzhang also waved his hand, and said weakly: "Ben Shuai can't believe that it was done by Lord Zhang, there may be something strange in it, let's leave first, and quickly find a place for treatment, Ben Shuai believes that Lord Zhang will find out the truth and give us an explanation." ”

"What else do you want to say?" Han Laowan, the former chief blue flag master of the twisted army system, shouted in pain: "I am really poisoned, I am about to die, and the three of them are not poisoned here, this is clearly they set up a poison plan to poison us all, Zhang Lexing, Zhang Lexing, in vain, I Lao Wan has always called you big brother, you can do this kind of poison to your brother, hey~~"

Screaming, screaming, Han Laowan foamed at the mouth, and his body began to convulsions for a while, this was obviously a symptom of poisoning, or an extremely violent poison.

Not only did it stop at Han Laowan, but the chief red flag lord Hou Shiwei and most of the leaders of the original twist army, such as Gong Deshu and Sun Kuixin, together with Li Hongzhang and Liu Mingchuan and others, also had similar symptoms, but the people on Li Hongzhang's side were slightly better than Miao Peilin and Gong Deshu, who were also from the Twist Army, and they were not serious enough to foam at the mouth.

"Come on, come on!" Zhang Zongyu didn't care about the consequences, and called out loudly.

"Wait!" At this time, Biner miraculously stood up, shook his head, pulled out a pistol and pointed it at Zhang Lexing, Zhang Zongyu and Su Jinfu, and said coldly: "I don't believe you, you Chinese are too bad, no one can come in!" ”

That being said, but the shouts had already alarmed the front hall, and most of the front hall were second-class generals and important local squires, and they swarmed over, their faces were puzzled or frightened, and some people were about to enter the hall, and Binel immediately moved his gun: "Don't come in, I don't know who the enemy is, and I will kill whoever comes in!" ”

Due to Binel's transcendent status, he may not be able to figure out what happened, no one entered the hall for the time being, and all of them surrounded the door, and there were many discussions, and his suspicious eyes shot at Zhang Lexing's uncle and nephew and Su Jinfu, after all, they slept in a room, still wailing in pain, and there were only a few people standing, it is not difficult to guess what happened.

Zhang Lexing's uncle and nephew and Su Jinfu both shed a cold sweat, they all dared to guarantee that they were innocent and absolutely did not know, but so many people were poisoned, but they were not poisoned, how can they not understand that they were framed? Especially in the face of the suspicious gaze of his subordinates outside the house, he was even more anxious!

"Aren't you also poisoned, Benel? How can you stand up? Su Jinfu suddenly pointed at Binel and roared loudly.

Binel sneered: "Master Su, how do you know that I am also poisoned? Have you been paying attention to whether I've been drinking? ”

"This" Su Jinfu was speechless for a moment, not only did he ask no level, but it gave people the illusion that he was poisoned by Su Jinfu, otherwise how could he ask if Binel was poisoned?

Biner waved his gun and said: "Everyone has seen it, and they should have guessed what happened here, yes, we came to congratulate Master Zhang with good intentions, but who would have thought that the wine was poisonous, and it is not difficult to guess who caused this poison."

As for why I was able to stand, I can tell you that I am French, and I like to drink red wine with a slightly sour taste, not spicy and choking white wine, so I drink very little, and we foreigners have a stronger constitution and can resist a small amount of toxins.

Or take a step back and say, if I say that the poison was caused by me, I'm afraid no one will believe it! (To be continued......)
