Chapter 17
The final solution was quietly taken out by Qian Biaotong and Bi Hongen behind the backs of Aunt Xia and Second Master Li.
Bian Yifu thought it was fair at first glance: the two bidders of the Independent Founding Army, except for one battalion to be stationed at various gates in the city and assume the responsibility of defense, the rest of the battalions were all out of the city first to rectify. Qian Biaotong is stationed in the green camp village on the south of the city; Xiagu's mark is stationed in Fort Town at the foot of the mountain. Those who do not obey will be rebellious, and all ministries and merchant groups will jointly suppress them.
Bian Yifu immediately found Aunt Xia and told Aunt Xia about the solution, afraid that Aunt Xia would be too careful, so he didn't say that it was Qian Biaotong and Bi Hongen's proposition, but only his own proposition. He also sighed and said that if he didn't go out of the city to rectify, he was afraid that the general chamber of commerce and the business group in the city would collude with the red gun associations in the surrounding counties.
Aunt Xia didn't take the merchant group and the Red Gun Society seriously, but she also felt that it was time to clean up, so she said to Bian Yifu: "Yes! It is not enough to just seal these many officers who lead troops, and the new official army after independence should indeed have the appearance of a new official army. The original people's armies from all walks of life must have a look, and the old officers and soldiers of the former patrol battalion must also have a look. ”
Aunt Xia also mentioned the cause of the merger between Li Erye and Qian Biao, and scolded Qian Biao for being a bastard, and he dared to collect black money like this after he recovered.
Bian Yifu heard that this collection of black money was the wind released by Li Erye, and Li Erye wanted to take advantage of this to make a big fuss and take the opportunity to wash the city.
Bian Yifu didn't dare not believe the statements on both sides, and he didn't dare to believe it all, so he got into a thin mud, neither saying that Qian Biao was a bastard, nor that Li Erye was a bastard, only saying that everyone would work together for a long time in the future, and it would always be better to settle the dispute, or let each other go, and not say bad things about each other.
Next, it was the departure of most of the two armies out of the city.
On the day of going out of the city, many people in the streets and alleys came out to see, and some shops also set off firecrackers at the door of the shop to celebrate,—— naturally, no one dared to say that it was to drive away the plague and blow up the evil spirit, only to say that it was a farewell.
After the team settled down outside the city, Bi Hongen, the deputy governor, said again that it is not a matter for Bu Yi Biao and Bu Er Biao to resist like this, and they may have to create a big mess in the future. Therefore, Bi Hongen volunteered to come forward to be the east, and wanted to invite Aunt Xia, Li Erye, Qian Biaotong, and the pipes of the two battalions to his house for a meal and a drink.
Bian Yifu immediately agreed, and said that this governor's mansion was made by him, and because he didn't do it well, he caused trouble to everyone and chaos in the city, so he couldn't let Bi Hongen pay for this and the wine, he had to pay for it himself.
Bi Hongen just smiled when he heard it, and didn't say much.
And so it was settled.
This made the biggest mistake in Bian Yifu's life: he was willing to be the wrongdoer, and he spent money to let Bi Hongen and Qian Biaotong set up a Hongmen banquet, and buried the lives of Aunt Xia, Li Erye, and so many good brothers in one fell swoop, and almost buried his own life.
The feast was held one night four days later.
Beforehand, Bi Hongen and Qian Biaotong hid dozens of gunmen around the main hall where the banquet was held.
The main hall faces the gate of the front yard, and on both sides of the gate is a sedan room, which can hide people.
Behind the main hall is a very small garden, because it is winter, the flowers and plants are withered, which is not good for Tibetans, but outside the flower wall is good for Tibetans. The flower wall is very low, and there is a row of large windows facing the main hall, and there are plum blossom holes in the wall, which can be used as a sniper line for gunners.
There were also people hiding on the roofs of the surrounding houses, and the Guanyin Temple on the other side of the street had set up a continuous gun, and the muzzle of the gun was facing the gate of the west courtyard of Bifu.
Bi Hongen and Qian Biaotong's murder plan is vicious and meticulous.
There is no trace of poisonous shadow at the gate, the stone lions on both sides of the gatehouse lie quietly, and the lights on the gatehouse are colorful, looking festive.
When Bian Yifu led the guard adjutant Wang Sanshun and a few retinues to Debi Mansion, Bi Hongen was standing on the steps of the gate to greet him.
The trap has been laid, and the killing is about to begin, but Bi Hongen's face is extremely calm, and his smile is very natural, and he arched his hand and let Bian Yifu to the inner tea room on the side of the main hall, saying that Qian Biaotong and Aunt Xia have not yet arrived, and asked Bian Yifu to go to the room to eat tea and smoke first, and said that he had prepared a first-class Yunnan face for him.
Sure enough, it is a first-class Yunnan face, which is different from the goods obtained from the market earlier, and it is very mellow.
Bian Yifu fell on the couch and smoked it, and then felt that good goods were rare, and it was Bi Hongen's east, so he did a favor and asked Wang Sanshun to taste the freshness.
Wang Sanshun didn't smoke a lot, but it can be seen that he is the master of the governor's mansion to promote himself, and he thinks that he has become an adjutant and is a person on the scene.
When the master and servant were lying face to face in the clouds, Bian Yifu not only did not smell the smell of blood that was about to spread, but was proud, thinking that the two standard belts and pipe belts could sit together today, which was a good start and a great success for himself.
Seeing that the Bi family was not in front of him, Bian Yifu quietly said to Wang Sanshun that Bi Hongen did not really convince himself until tonight.
“…… Sanshun, what do you think, four months ago, I begged Bi Hongen so much that he would come forward to help me suppress the evil spirit in the city, and he just pushed it. Why has this changed now? Why? ”
Wang Sanshun was choked by the smoke and coughed again and again: "How do I know about your officialdom." ”
Bian Yifu said with a smile: "Isn't it because our seat in the governor's mansion is secure?!" Sanshun, the world is like this, if your status is unstable, someone will push you, and if you are stable, someone will help you! ”
Then he sighed: "It seems that you still have to be an official!" After four months of being in the governor's office, I know that the benefits of being an official are infinite......"
was about to sigh, but at this moment, the paging of "Qian Biaotong arrived" sounded in the courtyard, and Bian Yifu had to give up his emotion, put down his cigarette gun and got up, and went to the main hall to see Qian Biaotong.
- Qian Biaotong is one of the protagonists of today's banquet, he has to persuade Qian Biaotong to say a few words, so that Qian Biaotong can be patient, but don't accidentally make trouble with Aunt Xia's brother at the reconciliation banquet.
Qian Biaotong's attitude was very good, with a sincere and deferential smile on his face, patting his chest and assuring Bian Yifu: Even if the brothers of Xia Gubu Erbiao make trouble, he and his brothers will never make trouble.
Qian Biaotong said: "...... Border Governor's Mansion, do you think, this is you and my uncle Bi in the east, and in my uncle's mansion, can I make trouble? Besides, even if I don't give face to my uncle, I have to give face to your Governor's Mansion, right? I don't make trouble, and my brothers won't make trouble, and whoever dares to mess with him will do it! ”
While talking to Qian Biaotong, Aunt Xia came with Second Master Li and a group of brothers under him, and Bi Hongen personally accompanied him into the main hall.
Aunt Xia brought two large gift boxes to Bi Hongen, and when she opened them, she saw that they were nothing else, but two bloody human heads.
Bi Hongen and Qian Biaotong both turned white with fright, and looked at Aunt Xia and Second Master Li in horror.
Bian Yifu was also afraid, and he didn't understand the purpose of Aunt Xia's move? Then he said: "People...... Master Bi kindly invited everyone to eat and relieve the drink, you ...... What are you guys doing here?! ”
Aunt Xia smiled and said, "This is exactly the kindness that Grandma Ben sent to your Border Governor's Mansion and Master Bi!" These two dog days are the first offenders of the gold shop robbery in the past, and it was verified during the purge yesterday, so I ordered it to be done! ”
I see.
Bian Yifu's heart was released, and Bi Hongen and Qian Biaotong also breathed a sigh of relief.
Only then did the guest and the host sit down.
When the main hall was opened, two tables in the west courtyard were also opened at the same time.
The two tables in the west courtyard were all the Ma Ben entourage brought by Qian Biaotong and Xia Gu, and then there were the guards of the governor's mansion brought by Wang Sanshun.
Both sides drank very enthusiastically, and the reconciliation wine really had the appearance of reconciliation.
However, Bian Yifu can never forget that when the atmosphere of reconciliation was at its best, Bi Hongen said that he was going to give an extraordinary gift to Aunt Xia, and under the pretext of going to get it in person, he got up and left first.
As soon as Bi Hongen left, Qian Biaotong said that he would go to the West Courtyard to toast a few glasses of wine to the brothers at the two tables, and he also took his three pipes away.
In the main hall, only Aunt Xia, Second Master Li, Ren Daquan and the other two brothers Bian Yifu did not know very well.
At this point, no one has realized anything, Xia Gu is still holding a wine glass and drinking a glass with Ren Daquan and a few others, and it seems that she is still talking about the rectification of the second standard of military discipline.
Li Erye, who was beside Ren Daquan, simply got drunk and sat on the chair and took a nap.
It is also the sky that wants to save the life of Bian Yifu.
Behind the flower wall outside the window, before the ambush soldier's gun was about to go off, Bian Yifu had a pain in his abdomen and wanted to go out of Gong, so he walked out of the door of the main hall quickly.
Bian Yifu was not a few steps away from the gate when a fiery and dense burst of gunfire suddenly rang out.
At the same time, the vermilion lacquer gate of the border house was closed, and many soldiers rushed out of the sedan rooms on both sides, and the cannonballs were generally fired at the main hall, and all the way to the main hall.
Gunshots also rang out in the west courtyard, and the gunfire seemed to be even stronger than this one.
Bian Yifu was still very ignorant at first, thinking that it was his hallucination, but then he saw the soldiers in the sedan room rushing to the front, and saw that the door of the main hall was instantly beaten by a series of guns, and the hall was filled with smoke, so he was frightened, and he fell to the ground somehow, and his legs were stepped on by the rampaging soldiers.
It was when he fell to the ground that he finally saw Aunt Xia.
Covered in blood, Xia Gu staggered out of the smashed door, still holding two handfuls of happiness in both hands. Xia Gu is really a female husband, and she still does not give in in this desperate situation, supporting her bleeding body, putting a gun at the soldiers who rush forward, and scolding him and Bi Hongen.
In the angry scolding, Bian Yifu saw that Xia Gu was beaten up by the platoon of guns in front of him and behind him, and with a "bang", he fell on his back less than three steps away from the main hall door, and the fast gun in his hand, one was still holding in his hand, and the other fell to Bian Yifu's side.
Aunt Xia decided until her death that this Hongmen banquet was set up by Bian Yifu and Bi Hongen.
Aunt Xia said the last half sentence before she took a breath: "Dog's day, side ......"
Bian Yifu felt that he was really wronged, and he was very angry, so he forgot to be afraid, and grabbed the quick gun that fell to Xia Gu in tears with tears, staggered to the station, and as soon as he stood up, he waved the gun and shouted: "Stop!" All...... Stop it! You guys...... How dare you kill Aunt Xia......" and shouted these words freely, and several soldiers grabbed his gun, twisted him, beat him, kicked him, and said that they would kill him,—— a vicious dwarf really put the muzzle of the gun against his head.
At this time, Bi Hongen didn't know whether he was from the West Courtyard or from where, he came over quickly, asked the soldiers to let him go, and said to him: "Border Governor's Mansion, you have to forgive, Qian Biaotong and I have to do this as a last resort......"
Bian Yifu said: "What's the last resort? You...... You are plotting a rebellion! ”
Bi Hongen said: "It's not a rebellion, it's not a mutiny, it's a bandit!" ”
Bian Yifu stiffened his neck and said, "Okay, let's kill Lao Tzu too!" ”
Bi Hongen said: "What are you talking about? Your Border Governor's Office is a revolutionary party, and you advocate revolution, not banditry,......"
Bian Yifu was so angry that he trembled and said, "You Bi Hongen is still ...... There is also a face to say what about the revolutionary party, the revolution, the revolutionary party and the revolution, today...... It's all up to you today...... You're buried! ”
Bi Hongen smiled: "No, the revolution has just begun!" I, Qian Biaotong and the gentry of the city's chamber of commerce all believe that the suppression of bandits is the beginning of the revolution! If you don't suppress bandits, the people's will will fluctuate, the market will be chaotic, and you will talk about revolution! Let me ask you from the Border Governor's Mansion, which government in the past and present has not suppressed bandits? ”
Bian Yifu knew that the general trend had gone, and it would be redundant to talk to Bi Hongsi again, and he was afraid that Bi Hongen and Qian Biao would be poisoned by themselves, so he wanted to find Wang Sanshun to go back together.
After looking for a long time, I finally found Wang Sanshun in a large water tank in the west courtyard.
Bi Hongen did not allow them to go, saying that it was not peaceful in the city tonight, and it was safer to live here.
Later, I learned that when Bifu attacked here, the city and outside the city also attacked at the same time.
Xia Gu stayed in a battalion in the city, and the people of Baibaihe, who had died, were less loyal to Xia Gu, and as soon as the brothers and merchants of Qian Biaotong's battalion opened fire, the brothers in charge immediately waved a white flag and surrendered to Qian Biaotong.
And the Bu Yi Biao of Qian Biaotong on Fort Hill outside the city and the Red Gun Society of the six counties that supported the suppression of bandits secretly united and seriously fought a battle with the Bu Er Biao of Xia Gu in Fort Town.
Bu Yibiao was attacked from the top of the fortress mountain, and the Red Gun Society of the six counties surrounded it from three sides, killing and wounding nearly 1,000 Bu Erbiao brothers overnight,—— and more than 300 brothers were collectively buried alive at the foot of the fortress mountain after being captured.
Many years later, there are still people who witnessed the live burial and called the live burial "miserable".
However, the Red Gun Society's firearms were insufficient, and there were gaps in several joints, which allowed some of the brothers in Xia Gubu to escape.
There were about 800 people in this part, and there was no leader, but they didn't dare to go home separately, so they drove to the old camps of Tongshan and Taohuashan. ……
After dawn, the gunfire inside and outside the city stopped, and Xia Gu's second standard no longer existed, and Bi Hongen and Qian Biao met Bian Yifu together.
The two nephews and uncles are no longer called the Governor's Mansion, and their earlier deferential appearance is gone, and they sing and say that Bian Yifu can't lead troops and can't be the governor's mansion.
After that, under the unified order of Qian Biao, a group of soldiers went to the yamen of the governor's mansion to defend Bian Yifu, and handed over the seal of the governor's mansion and the co-unification on the spot.
Later, the soldiers escorted Bian Yifu back to Bifu and went to Bi Hongen and Qian Biaotong to return to their lives.
When I entered Bifu again, there was an armed "petition group" wielding knives and guns in front of the gate of Bifu, and the men of the armed "petition group" kept firing guns into the sky, repeatedly chanting two monotonous and loud slogans:
"Fuck off!" "Master Bi is back!"
"Fuck off!" "Master Bi is back"......
Bi Hongen was reserved on the surface, but he was very proud in his heart, and in the call of the armed "petition group", he talked to the dumb Bian Yifu about the truth that "the will of the people should not be humiliated."
Then, under the dual support of the "public opinion" outside the door and the money standard in the house, it became the governor's mansion.
And Qian Biaotong was promoted to co-unification under the promotion of the Bidu Mansion.
However, the newly appointed Governor's Mansion and the Co-Commander are still generous, and they have not pursued Bian Yifu's past crimes of gangsterism, nor have they intended to let Bian Yifu get out, and they all firmly stated that no matter how opposed the "public opinion" is, they cannot let Bian Yifu really get out.
He also said that Bian Yifu had been a revolutionary party for a few days after all, and although he had passed the bandits earlier, he had actually helped to suppress the bandits last night, and he still had to give his name and benefits.
Bi Hongen appointed Bian Yifu as a member of the Governor's Office and the head of the Flower Donation Bureau, which was in charge of implementing the "braid-cutting order" just promulgated by the provisional government of the Republic of China and collecting taxes from brothels in the city......
Unexpectedly, after the two adults of Bi Dufu and Qian Xietong were assigned to complete the training, Bian Yifu, who had been frightened all night and sulked all night, could no longer hold on mentally and physically, sat on the chair and tilted his body, and fainted......
