Twenty-four kites

Chen Shu, the assassin of Dongzhimen, only found out the next day, and she was scared enough. While scolding the Kuomintang, he also took care of her husband's safety. Long Qian turned around and comforted him, saying that assassination was a highly skilled job, and it was not something that could be done with courage alone. So don't worry, because your own level of protection is the highest, and it is a great waste for the elite troops that were originally trained for special operations to temporarily serve as your own guards, but objectively they provide themselves with the strictest protection. Moreover, I work in Xiyuan most of the time, so there is no danger. Others should pay attention.

To this end, Long Qian convened a meeting attended by Shi Dashou, Wang Zhifeng, Jiang Yun, Xu Gongzhi, and Deng Qinghua to study the deployment of high-ranking cadres for security work. Arranged for Xu Gongzhi to immediately formulate the work of registering the Beijing population survey and issuing identity documents, because it involved the issue of photos, Long Qian was a little hesitant, not because he couldn't take pictures, but because the cost was too high, the people of Beijing were not as good as other places, and the absurd rumors that photography would lose their souls had long been shattered, since even the Empress Dowager Cixi liked to take pictures so much, it was naturally harmless. But the widespread use of photo identification is a huge undertaking, not only costly (Long Qian believes that this cost should not be borne by the people themselves), but also difficult. On the contrary, Jiang Yun expressed great interest in making a photo ID card, and strongly advocated the immediate implementation. In the end, Long Qian did not make a decision, but asked them to investigate and calculate the cost and time before making a decision.

It seems that he is not afraid of assassins, and at noon on the third day after the Dongzhimen incident, despite the opposition of Chen Shu and Ouyang Zhong. Long Qian called Chen Shu and his two sons to go to Longfu Temple to visit the temple fair.

Chen Shu was reluctant to go because she was worried about her husband's safety. But Long Qian said that he was too tired and wanted to go out for a walk, and Zhenhua and Xinghua were very excited when they heard that their father was going to take them out shopping. Chen Shu also felt that her husband was always sitting in the study to deal with those official documents in addition to holding meetings to review the army, which was much busier than when he was in Jinan, so she agreed.

They set off in a car, parked in a relatively secluded alley, and walked east. Chen Shu didn't know the way. But Long Qian seemed to be very familiar with him, and he didn't ask anyone. Shi Jipeng took two people in front, and two plainclothes guards followed not far behind, so Chen Shu was relieved. Waited until they entered the main street of Longfuji Temple. Chen Shu was immediately intrigued.

Long Qian hugged Xinghua. Chen Shu led the tiger head through the bustling crowd. Listening to the Beijing dialects of different thicknesses and heights selling and bargaining, looking at the dazzling array of goods, Chen Shu was very happy. She likes to be lively in her bones. The scale of the temple fair at Longfu Temple obviously shocked her. It is not comparable to the countryside of Lunan, and even the temple fairs in Jinan do not have such a scale. The two sons were even more elated by the various toys, clay figurines, kites, windmills and glass horns...... Seeing what to want, and Long Qian fully met his son's requirements, so that the two little ones were particularly satisfied, and each of them chose a lot of favorite toys.

Chen Shu brought a lot of money according to her husband's instructions, and found that the silver dollars from Shandong passed unhindered at the temple fair.

"It seems that our money in Shandong is still very useful. What do you think? Is it more expensive than Jinan? Long Qian asked his wife in a low voice.

"Ah, I don't know...... "She really doesn't know the value of things. Even in Jinan, Chen Shu doesn't care about the accounts, the kitchen expenses are all in charge of Sister-in-law Zhang, the clothes, furniture and even the children's toys are also Chen Xian Zhang Luo, she has no way to compare the price difference between the two places.

Chen Shu noticed that her husband paid special attention to the price of food, and always kept asking about the price of grain, pig and mutton, "Fortunately, there has been no price increase." Dashou Tsinghua they did a good job. Long Qian whispered, "It's not bad here, right?" ”

"Hey, it's really big here, there's ...... everything," Chen Shu was fascinated by the temple fair, "It's worthy of being a Jingshi." ”

"So I'm going to bring you all over here." At this moment, Long Qian was carrying the toys he bought, and Chen Shu was holding his two sons, just like an ordinary family visiting a temple fair......

Lunch was eaten at the temple fair, and a variety of Beijing-style snacks fascinated Chen Shu and her two children.

And Chen Shu finally discovered that her husband came out to visit the temple fair not to be lively or to make the children happy, but to have other scheming. He obviously wanted to listen to the discussion of the people in the capital. Not to mention, this place is really a good place, there are also things to say, especially at the food stalls, she really heard a lot of rumors about her husband, the words of the people of Jingshi are very similar to her husband's accent, but they always have a strong nasal voice, and the speed of speech is too fast, which makes Chen Shu sound a little difficult. Fortunately, he told her and the child in advance that he was not allowed to answer the phone, let alone reveal his identity, otherwise, the man with a pimple on his face across a table would never be silent when he insulted her husband.

That person unscrupulously insulted Long Qian, who was even worse than Cao Cao, Sima Yi, and Yang Jian, "Ungrateful things!" What is the ability to bully orphans and widows? It was just a matter of occupying the palace and reforming the palace maids, and even the money and food of the banner people were cut off! Isn't this forcing people to death? Whoever takes away the master's job, the master will not be finished with him! ”

Chen Shu understood that this person was scolding her husband. Ingratitude obviously means that he can't live with Cixi, but he doesn't understand what it means to cut off the money and food of the banner people.

Someone immediately coaxed, "Fifth Master Ye, the Southern Dragon Marshal is in Xiyuan, why don't you go find him?" ”

"Don't underestimate people! Fifth master, I had to go to him that day to theorize! The people are not afraid of death, so why should they be afraid of death? "This Ye Wuye seems to be a banner man who has studied.

"What does it mean to break the flag?" Chen Shu asked in a low voice, she didn't understand what it meant to break the flag's money and food.

"Go back and talk slowly." Long Qian lowered his head and concentrated on dealing with his fried liver.

This Ye Wuye's boldness attracted a group of good deeds, and the topic turned to the important point, discussing the Dongzhimen assassination case, "But the Kuomintang has a good man!" It's a pity! There's even a woman! Originally, she didn't have anything to do, but she came out and recognized it herself! It's really a woman who doesn't let her eyebrows go! ”

"What a heroine, arrived at the entrance of the vegetable market. A knife goes down like a different head! ”

"What kind of skill is it to kill a woman?"

"This is the heinous crime of assassinating the king! Once upon a time, that's 3,600 fish scale knives! If you are not satisfied with the door, the ancestor burned high incense. ”

"Hehe, you say, if you kill that woman, you will have fun......"

"Wouldn't it? I heard that there is only one way for the Mengshan army to kill people, shoot them! ”

Chen Shu's heart couldn't help but jump in horror, and her hatred for the assassin turned into worry, and there was a woman among them, who didn't know it before......

"That group of people is hiding in Bada Hutong. Haven't you heard? In the afternoon, the front door was blocked...... I also heard that this incident angered Long Dashuai, and immediately ordered the soldiers in the south to arrest Sun Dacang who was hiding in the concession. ”

"I don't know if I catch Sun Cannon or not. Anyway, both gangs of thieves are not good birds. It's a long time ago, I caught a lot of the top cards of the Qingyin small class in the eight major alleys......"

"What are you doing with the Red Girl?"

"Hey. Do what? Is this anything more to say? He was born in Hibiki, where have you seen a real beauty? It is said that the queen lady still has a pair of big feet......"

"Hehe, that's a comparison with Zhu Yuanzhang......"

Chen Shu immediately became angry, and Long Qian pulled down her sleeve. Signal her not to have a seizure.

"The Emperor won't do it. Haven't you heard? Now it's a republic. ”

"That's because he's self-aware! The throne is not something that anyone can sit on if they want to! I guess I can't hold it down. Just make a republic? ”

"What is a republic?"

"The republic is to learn from the Westerners' practice and change an emperor every few years."

"Isn't that a mess? In addition to the ship's strong cannon Leach's skillful skills, foreigners talk about national politics. I don't even deserve to lift shoes for us! ”

"By the way, I heard that he was not reckless, he grew up in the United States, no wonder he chose the Republic."

"Pay and go." Seeing that the two stupid and ignorant sons had already eaten enough, Long Qian stood up quietly. If he doesn't squeak, Shi Jipeng and the others will naturally not start. After leaving Longfu Temple and walking a long way, Long Qian got into the waiting car, "Ji Peng, let those people go." Long Qian knew that after he left, Shi Jipeng's people would definitely make a move.

"Commander......

"Let it go! Do not embarrass them. ”

"Yes."

On the way back, Chen Shu was still indignant, "How do you know that Shi Jipeng will arrest people?" ”

"I'm not blind! He took twenty men out, less than half of whom left with us. Besides, most of their skills are taught by me......"

Chen Shu didn't expect that there were twenty people protecting him just now, "By the way, what's the matter with the broken flag people's money and food?" ”

"I can't say a word......" Long Qian looked out of the car.

"What's going on with the Eight Hutongs? Why did you raid what alleys? ”

"It is estimated that Jiang Yun did it. Presumably the Assassins from Dongzhimen lived there. Bada Hutong is a place with a dense number of brothels, hehe, their imagination is really rich. By the way, Shu'er, they compare you to the queen of bigfoot. ”

This Chen Shu understands, "The mouth of the Jingshi is so cheap!" Why did you let Shi Jipeng release him? ”

"Eliminate gas. I didn't have to spoil the interest of visiting the temple fair. Long Qian smiled slightly, "At least, the people didn't say bad things about our Mengshan Army." You see, the fact that the temple fair is so lively shows that the lives of the people have not been affected much......"

"Haven't said anything bad yet? Even I was choreographed! I really should have caught those bastards and hit the twenty boards! "Chen Shu hates when people say she has big feet.

"Actually, the banner people didn't bind their feet, but later they got into the harbor of the Han people, and these bad habits will have to be eliminated in the future," Long Qian turned his face and said with a straight face, "Shu'er, you must know that under a democratic government, it is difficult for a leader to have the right to reputation." Moreover, the people of Beijing, especially the flag people, have some bad habits. If I catch those ones, tomorrow the market will make up even more ugly ones. ”

"You have a good temper......" Seeing that her husband seemed to be happy, Chen Shu's mood was much better.

"You'll slowly find out that it's actually quite boring to follow me......" The smile on Long Qian's face disappeared.

"Commander," Ouyang Zhong opened the car door for Long Qian, "you can come back." Director Jiang is waiting. ”

"What's the matter?"

"I guess it's because you went out without permission." Ouyang Zhong knew that Jiang Yun was angry just now, and it was estimated that Shi Jipeng was going to be beaten.

"Ah, it's okay, I'll talk to Jiang Yun." Chen Shu originally hated Jiang Yun because of Xu Si's affairs, but because that person didn't show up at all, the jealousy faded. And Jiang Yun is always good to care about her husband's safety, and she forgives her husband's subordinates, the intelligence leader who has grown up by herself.

"You don't care about this, you can go back and rest." Long Qianyan said to his wife, "Maybe he has other important military information to report." ”

"I'm going to fly a kite!" Xinghua couldn't hold back for a long time, and ran out with a dragon-shaped kite bought at the temple fair. The kite was very beautifully made, the dragon head was majestic, and the papier-mΓ’chΓ© dragon body was bright and abnormal. Chen Shu was worried that it was not easy to take, but Xinghua had to do it. Along the way, Long Qian was cautious, fearing that he would damage his son's toys.

"Come back, you give me back, it's kite-flying season?" Chen Shu didn't have time to react, Xinghua had already run out of the gate of Haiyan Hall, and Chen Shu hurriedly chased out.

"My dragon, fly...... Xinghua's crisp cry of joy came far away. (To be continued......)
