Chapter 26 Veteran Zhang Xun

Seeing that the atmosphere was becoming more and more tense, the veteran on Zhang Renjun's side obviously didn't want things to go back to square one, so he gave Zhang Renjun a look, asked him to step back first, and then looked businesslike, not giving Xu Changqing any chance to make jokes, and said instead of Zhang Renjun: "We have also considered the things that Mr. Xu has considered, so we have already made a request to the British Consulate General in Guangzhou to search Mr. Sean's carriage, and it was agreed." As he spoke, he took out various documents from his arms, handed them to Xu Changqing and said, "I hope that after Mr. Xu reads it, he will not find a reason to stop us from searching the carriage, otherwise we will be deeply suspicious of Mr. Xu and the Chen family's actions, and if it is unpleasant, Chen Weng will not be willing to do it." ”

Xu Changqing took the text and looked at it carefully, there was indeed no omission, and after handing it back to the man, he asked indifferently and casually: "Dare to ask the name of the chief soldier, so that students can have the opportunity to make friends?"

"Mr. Xu is polite! This official Zhang Xun is just an unknown person!" The veteran said bluntly: "Since Mr. Xu has read the documents and there is no problem, please let us search the car!"

"Of course, of course!" Xu Changqing nodded, his voice changed, and he said with a smile: "But this time, my Young Master Fan encountered bandits halfway and was too frightened, can I go and see it first, so that my Young Master Fan can calm down so as not to be frightened again?"

Zhang Xun and Zhang Renjun looked at each other, and felt that since Xu Changqing had already agreed to search the car, it would naturally not be bad for a while, so they nodded and agreed.

Xu Changqing walked to the carriage and lifted the curtain slightly, only to see Chen Fan sitting in the front of the carriage with a pale face, looking slightly anxious, but the two wanted criminals of the imperial court looked calm, as if they were on an outing. When Chen Fan saw Xu Changqing from the corner he lifted, he was immediately ready to stand up and scold him for why he agreed to search the car, but the words that had just reached his throat were quickly pushed back by Xu Changqing's sharp gaze. Xu Changqing didn't talk nonsense, reached out and took out two invisibility talismans from his sleeves, flicked them on the legs of the two court dignitaries with calm expressions, and whispered in an unquestionable tone: "Swallow the talisman for me, don't talk or move no matter what happens later!"

After speaking, Xu Changqing put down the curtain and slowly walked in front of Zhang Xun, while the two people in the car picked up the folded invisibility charm in their hands, were stunned for a moment, raised their hands to signal Chen Fan that he didn't have to say much, listened to Xu Changqing's words, and swallowed it.

After the two swallowed the spell, Xu Changqing naturally sensed it, he put his hand behind his back, secretly pinched his sword finger, and relied on the true yuan to urge the charm Dao power in the air, and then said to Zhang Xun: "Lord Zhang, my young master has agreed, please!"

As he spoke, he motioned to the person next to the carriage to pull up the curtain, and for a while the situation in the carriage was completely displayed in front of everyone. I saw that the seats where the two wanted criminals of the imperial court were originally sitting were empty, and Chen Fan was the only one sitting in the entire carriage.

"Impossible! This is impossible! They are obviously inside, and the official has seen it with his own eyes before!" Zhang Xun was suddenly startled when he saw it, and hurriedly ignored the reactions around him, climbed into the carriage, and personally rushed into the car to check, the housekeeper of the Chen Mansion was about to step forward to stop him, but was stopped by Xu Changqing, signaling him to be at ease.

I saw Zhang Xun carefully searching every inch of the carriage up and down, and even the base of the carriage was repeatedly knocked three or four times to see if there was a Tibetan mezzanine, but no matter how much he searched inside and out, he couldn't find anything related to those two people. The only thing that made him feel strange was that Chen Fan's face was both surprised and confused, as if he had seen something amazing, thinking of Xu Changqing's confidence at the moment when he opened the curtain, he felt that the current situation must be inseparable from Xu Changqing, and secretly said in his heart that he still looked down on Xu Changqing too much.

Not only the Qing court officials and soldiers felt strange, but even those who knew the situation in the car looked at this qiē in surprise, especially Sean almost screamed, but fortunately covered his mouth and looked at Xu Changqing with admiration. Everyone present only noticed that the two people in the car had disappeared, but no one appeared, and when Zhang Xun searched the carriage, some places would always be subconsciously avoided, and if those places were connected, it would just be the appearance of two people sitting on chairs.

The situation in front of him obviously made the officers and soldiers of the Qing court speechless, and Zhang Renjun looked at Zhang Xun, a veteran who rushed from Beiping to assist him, suspiciously, as if asking for his opinion. Zhang Xun jumped out of the carriage with an iron face at this moment, walked up to Xu Changqing, hugged his fists at him, and said, "Mr. Xu is a good method!

"The chief soldier has won the award!" Xu Changqing smiled indifferently, motioned to the people next to the carriage to lower the curtain, and then asked: "I don't know if the two adults have any other orders? If it's okay, then I'll take my young master home to recuperate!"

"Mr. Xu, why not serve the imperial court with such skills, and it will not be difficult to increase the rank of official and the glory of the ancestors!" Zhang Xun tried to win over Xu Changqing.

Xu Changqing smiled and bluntly refused: "Lord Commander, it's really too much to promote the students! The student is an orphan, he doesn't know where his ancestors are, how can he have the heart to glorify his ancestors! And everyone has their own ambitions, and the adults can't force it!"

"In that case, Zhang has taken his leave! I hope there will be a chance to fight Mr. Xu next time!" Zhang Xun did not get angry, but smiled heartily, and led the officers and soldiers to turn around and leave with Zhang Renjun.

Seeing that Zhang Xun and Zhang Renjun were gone, Xu Changqing finally breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but praise in his mouth: "A good member knows how to advance and retreat, a general who understands the overall situation, it's a pity, it's a pity!"

Xu Changqing didn't expect that Zhang Xun, the governor of Liangguang and Cixi's most trusted general, would personally lead troops to arrest those two, if Zhang Xun didn't give Xu Changqing any chance just now and insisted on searching the car, then with the ability of Xu Changqing and the surrounding regiments, he would not be able to leave all the more than 3,000 battle-hardened officers and soldiers in front of him in Chenjiachong. As long as one officer and soldier escaped, Chen Jiachong would be hit with a devastating blow. Even though the Beiyang New Army stationed in Liangjiang is now in harmony with the Qing court, it is still their duty to suppress the rebellion. What's more, being able to use this as an excuse to take over the Chen family's property in the south would have more advantages than disadvantages for them. Although Xu Changqing had no substantial evidence, he still had a feeling that Zhang Xun deliberately let himself rescue the two people, so as not to completely turn the court and the Chen family into a face, but cheapen Yuan Shikai's big crocodile.

Maybe the people in the car also heard Xu Changqing's words, nodded, and the two said in unison: "It's a pity!"

Then, both of them were stunned and couldn't help laughing, with great joy for the rest of their lives.

Xu Changqing let all the people around him disperse, and then instructed the housekeeper: "The Chen family's house is mixed, and there are spies of the Qing court in it, so send the two guests to my Taohuashan Yizhuang! As for your young master, let him go home by himself to recuperate, don't walk around if he has nothing to do, and don't come to my Yizhuang! In addition, buy him a fake braid, although there is a suspicion of covering his ears and stealing the bell, but it is better than nothing, this world is still the world of the Qing court, don't get into unnecessary trouble because of some trivial things. ”

Although Xu Changqing was talking to the housekeeper, it was actually like teaching Chen Fan a lesson. Chen Fan also heard the taste, just because Xu Changqing dealt with the momentum of the official army and the spells he cast, the little sense of awe that arose immediately disappeared, regardless of the injury, rushed out of the carriage, and shouted at Xu Changqing: "No matter how bad my Chen Fan is, I don't need you to teach a lesson as a warlock!"

Seeing Chen Fan confronting him in public, the fire in Xu Changqing's heart burst out, thinking that he almost got himself and the Chen family into a catastrophe just now because of him. His anger didn't hit one place, he grabbed Chen Fan, and slapped him twice, so that he didn't know the north and the south, and said angrily: "What a boy who doesn't know the height of the sky, I will teach you a good lesson on behalf of Chen Weng today, lest you, a guy full of brains, give the Chen family and cause trouble for me again!"

As he spoke, Xu Changqing was about to beat Chen Fan in public, and everyone around him was stunned by his actions, no one had ever seen him so angry, and no one dared to stop him. After Chen Deshang left, the entire Chen Jiachong belonged to Xu Changqing's biggest, and now he wants to teach people a lesson, even if it is the young master of the Chen family, who dares to come forward to find it, only the Chen family's housekeeper is anxious like an ant on a hot pot, and he wants to persuade but does not dare to persuade him.

At this time, a person in the carriage suddenly spoke: "I don't know if Mr. Xu can save Chen Fan from punishment for the sake of the two of us, after all, he is injured now, and it is not good to punish the wound if it worsens." ”

The words of the person in the car made Xu Changqing wake up from his anger like an initiation, he felt that something was wrong with him, even if he had a big quarrel with Chen Fan before, he would calmly restrain himself, try to attack him with words, and never do it like now. He frowned slightly, and said secretly in his heart: "It seems that the exhaustion of luck will not only affect luck, but also affect personality and temper." ”

Xu Changqing calmed the anger in his heart, casually threw Chen Fan, who was red and swollen cheeks, to the Chen family's housekeeper, and ordered him to take him home and wait for Chen Deshang to come back. When Xu Changqing was about to drive the carriage back to Yizhuang in person, a man with a mighty appearance and lewd eyes walked out of the scattered crowd, came to Xu Changqing, and saluted respectfully: "The little one is the disciple of the master of Jingqing Pavilion, in the name of the family teacher, I have come to invite Mr. Xu to come over the house, and the things that Mr. wants have arrived." ”

"Hmph, it's just a fox, and he still calls himself a pavilion master!" Xu Changqing smiled coldly and said, "If you go to sue your master, just say I'll go right away." ”

"Yes, the little one will reply immediately!" The man seemed to sense the displeasure on Xu Changqing's body, and hurriedly bowed and retreated.

Xu Changqing turned around and was about to instruct a Chen family member to drive the carriage back to Yizhuang, but at this time, Sean, who had not left, jumped out and said that he would send the two to Yizhuang. Xu Changqing thought about it, and he would have to discuss some things with Sean later, so he nodded and agreed, and tied the golden bell on the braid to the corner of the carriage, so that Sean drove the carriage away, while he took a long coat from the Chen family and walked towards Wanhualou.

Zhang Xun and Zhang Renjun led their troops along the way they came to Shaoguan, Zhang Renjun rode on his horse, frowned, and said with a puzzled expression: "Could it be that those two people were not in the carriage from the beginning? ”

"Those two people have been in the carriage all along," Zhang Xun pointed to the dirt floor underground, on which the indentations of the carriage passed by before were clearly visible, and said, "If there were only one or two people in the carriage, it would not be able to press such deep traces." ”

"Since the Shangcha knows that the two of them are in the carriage, why don't you let me wait for a forcible search?" Although Zhang Renjun's official rank is much higher than Zhang Xun's, Zhang Xun still holds the title of Cixi's superiority, and his attitude is naturally much more respectful, and he said: "With the firearms of our troops, we can completely take down those mountain militia training in one fell swoop." ”

Zhang Xun asked rhetorically: "What about after you take it? Then you will completely turn your face with the Chen family!"

Zhang Renjun looked at Zhang Xun puzzled and said, "Doesn't Lafayette want to exterminate the Chen family?"

"Of course, Lafayette wants to exterminate the Chen family, but not now! Now if we fall out with the Chen family, the biggest benefit winner is definitely not us, but Yuan Shikai. Zhang Xun said with a solemn face: "If you completely fall out with the Chen family, with the Chen family's power in Jiangnan, and cooperate with those revolutionary and chaotic parties, Liangguang, Liangjiang, Jiangnan, Yunnan-Guizhou and other places will be in danger, and at that time, the only one in the entire imperial court who can deal with the Chen family is Yuan Shikai's Beiyang New Army." As long as Yuan Shikai regains control of the army, he will inevitably use the imperial court as an excuse to fully annex the Chen family's property in Jiangnan, and then his power will expand rapidly, and eventually endanger the safety of our Qing Dynasty. ”

"But according to me, Yuan Shikai has secretly sent the general Duan Qirui to contact Chen Deshang, and then Chen Deshang also sent someone to escort Duan Qirui's right-hand man Jin Yunpeng out of Liangguang, and gave Duan Qirui a batch of firearms," Zhang Renjun said with a worried face: "It seems that the two of them seem to have reconciled and are ready to cooperate." ”

"That's just some illusions!" Zhang Xun said with great certainty: "The two of them have become fire and water because of the changes back then, Yuan Shikai did not dare to take a step to the south of the Yangtze River, and Chen Deshang did not dare to go to Jiangbei, and the grievances accumulated for many years could not be resolved in a day or two." As long as there is an opportunity, Yuan Shikai is afraid that he will be impatient to annex the Chen family, and the Chen family is the same, without harming himself, he hopes that Yuan Shikai will be unlucky. ”

Zhang Renjun said abruptly: "I see, the upper cha has already made up his mind in his heart, so he pretended to be surprised, and asked me to wait for the stairs to go down the stairs and maintain balance with the Chen family." ”

"No, I'm really stunned!" Zhang Xun didn't feel the slightest displeasure, and said: "Xu Changqing is indeed powerful, he can actually turn people into nothing under our eyelids, from the expression of that young master of the Chen family, I can be sure that when I searched for the carriage, those two were still in the carriage! It seems that this Xu Changqing's ability is far more powerful than Lafayette's estimate, which is comparable to that of the great master." As he spoke, he thought for a while, turned his head and ordered: "Your Excellency, the Chen family should be honest after this incident, so don't provoke the Chen family if you don't have to." In addition, people were sent to guard the exits of Chen Jiachong and strictly check the people who came and went. In my opinion, the Chen family will inevitably do their best to transport those two people away in the past few days, so as long as they guard the exit, they can catch those two people. At that time, remember that as long as you catch those two people, don't involve the Chen family. I will go back to Beijing today, report the situation here to Lafayette, and then decide what to do with the Chen family. ”
