However, Nabeshima Itsuko felt that Yuka Naoko seemed to be distracted.

Then he asked with concern: "Yuxiang, are you not feeling well?" ”

Naoko Yuka's face was a little stiff.

She felt that this aristocratic woman was really a bit evil.

just asked her casually, but it made her a little weak and didn't dare to look at it directly.

"Uh, no, it's fine. These are the past few days, and it happens to be a period of not very comfortable. ”

Nabeshima Itsuko nodded understandingly, and her pretty face was full of compassionate care.

She kindly pulled Naoko Yuka to the water fetch place and asked for a glass of warm water, and asked for some sugar to put in it.

With white fingers, he pinched the spoon and stirred, and then intimately handed it to Naoko Yuka: "Drink some, it will be better." ”

That action makes people feel at ease, peaceful and serene.

Naoko Yuka broke her defense a little, and took the water cup and thanked her incoherently.

"Look at you, since you're uncomfortable, you should tell Shinoda Junaki."

The speed of his speech was not hurried, and his tone was slightly angry, but it made people feel like they were bathed in a ball of holy light, and it was difficult to control themselves.

Naoko Yuka held the water cup in both hands, just lowered her head to look at the tips of her shoes, and sighed slightly.

I thought to myself, this kind of woman, whether it is Shinoda Jiharu or Saito Jijiro, dare not look at it directly. Even she, a woman, is going to be defeated.

I don't know, what if Zhao Jun is here?

It's just that because Nabeshima Itsuko is making trouble, Yuka Naoko can't continue to hear more information.

Until the banquet ends.

Shinoda Jisaku and Saito Kijiro went home together.

Saito Jijiro asked, "Shinoda-kun, some Koreans are unwilling to cooperate with our actions and are still hostile to us, what do you say?" ”

Shinoda Jice pondered for a moment, and his eyes lit up: "I have a plan to make them share the same hatred for the Qing court with us, but this requires the help of Hirobumi Ito." ”

"What's the solution?"

Saito Kijiro asked with interest.

"Well, we'll talk about it tomorrow. I just want to say that whether it is the backwater army or the Lugang Town Insurance Team, which has always been worried, they are just ants under the power of our great Japanese empire. ”

Yuka Naoko, who pricked up her ears, listened and couldn't help but be disappointed.

This information is really important, but it's a pity that Shinoda didn't say it in the end.

……

Lugang Town.

Liu Guigui received a telegram from Lee Kwang Chung on Hong Kong Island.

He hurriedly gathered the people to take counsel.

At the meeting, when everyone was together, Liu Guigui hurriedly shouted: "This salary transfer is going to cause a big mess." Li Guangzong asked Zhongyi to publish a declaration in the newspaper, so that the salary was completely disconnected from our Lugang Town. ”

"What?"

Everyone was taken aback.

Liu Jiahui frowned slightly: "Why is this?" ”

"Li Guangzong didn't elaborate, but just told me that the trouble caused by the salary transfer this time will be very big. If we don't make a decision early, it may be too late, and then it may be possible that all the Beiyang troops outside the customs will come to suppress Lugang Town. We are not afraid to return, but once the war starts, our Lugang Town cannot afford that kind of loss. There are also the Japanese eyeing each other, if we and the Beiyang Army are both defeated, it will only make the Japanese arrogant. ”

The earth-shattering things that caused trouble Jing Zhao Chuanxin did are not few.

Zhao Zhongyi really couldn't think of anything more excessive he could do.

He asked, "Is it okay to just publish it in the newspaper as you did before?" ”

"No, Li Guangzong said, this time it is a complete separation. Not only will he be dismissed, but his personal property will also be stripped and liquidated from Lugang Town as a whole. In the future, what is theirs is his, and Lugang Town is Lugang Town. All these things are to be reported. ”

This time, Zhao Zhongyi was shocked.

Is this playing for real?

Liu Guigui continued: "Li Guangzong has already rushed back from Hong Kong Island, so let's take stock of the salary in the fastest time. did a full set of dramas, and some of his public and private properties were directly announced in the newspaper to be confiscated and owned by Lugang Town. It's best to buy the newspapers everywhere and let them publish the news in advance, the sooner the better. ”

The atmosphere in the conference room fell silent.

In the past few years, don't look at Zhao Chuanxin every day as if he is messing around, usually it seems that Lugang Town has him and does not have him.

But Zhao Chuanxin + Li Guangzong + everyone here worked together to build Lugang Town into such a prosperous situation today.

I heard that Zhao Chuanxin was completely stripped from Lugang Town, and everyone's hearts were inevitably covered with a layer of haze.

As Zhao Chuanxin's "elder brother", Zhao Zhongyi defended him from the bottom of his heart: "Li Guangzong's reaction, is it a bit excessive? ”

Liu Guigui shook his head and said cautiously: "Li Guangzong is steady. He was in such a hurry, something big must have happened. Listen to him. Moreover, Li Guangzong also said that even if they are separated, it will not take five years at most, and the salary can still be returned. It should be his or his. ”

Taking a deep breath, Zhao Zhongyi said bitterly: "That's without further ado, let's start doing it right now." ”

On the one hand, it is his brother Zhao Chuanxin, and on the other hand, there is Lugang Town and the insurance team that Zhao Zhongyi has worked hard for, which makes him very embarrassed and entangled.

After thinking about it, as long as Zhao Chuanxianren is fine, he can still return sooner or later.

Almost the next day, first of all, the latest "Lugang Town Journal" published the news of Zhao Chuanxin's departure from Lugang Town.

"Lugang Town Journal" has a great sales volume in Lugang Town.

There are high-income people in Lugang Town, and they can afford it. Some people want to see the various decisions of the public security office in the periodicals, some people study the trend vane, and some people are simply used to reading this kind of periodical, which is much higher quality than boring newspapers.

"Captain Zhao broke away from Lugang Town? Who is so bold to make a decision? ”

"He has been conscientious in the past two years...... Ahem, even if you're not so diligent, you can't do it without him. ”

"Who's going to drive Uncle Chuan away? I'm not done with him! ”

"Who will give me New Year's money in the future? Woo woo, I won't let Uncle Chuan leave. ”

"Hey, if the salary is gone, will we, the women, go back to the old days when we didn't go out of the door?"

There is no man or woman who does not talk about it.

Zhao Chuanxin is the only one in Lugang Town, there is no official frame, even the Huangkou Ruzi in Lugang Town dares to mess with him, and he never gets angry with the high-level officials.

There is only one part of the entire Lugang Town, and there is no second person.

Especially the snot babies, even when they go to class, they cry and mourn.

Many of the people in Lugang Town were originally returned from Liao by Zhao Chuanxin.

Many people were able to survive thanks to the money that Zhao Chuanxin had swindled from the Japanese to support their travel expenses.

But no one came to explain, as if Zhao Chuanxin really left this time.

Miao Cuihua was indignant when she got the news: "How much has Mr. done for Lugang Town? Others think he is not in shape, but he draws drawings and engages in construction at home every day, and I see these things in my eyes. Those people in the police station really have no conscience, they don't have a good thing! ”

Jiang Mingxin's big eyes were wet: "Mother, if you leave, what will we do in the future?" ”

Miao Cuihua looked at Jiang Mingxin, her daughter still has to go to school.

She sighed, "Hey, let's take a look first." I don't know where Mr. is now, if he is stable outside, you can go to school in Lugang Town, and my mother will go to him to serve him when the time comes. There is no one around me who knows cold and heat, just Mr. 's temperament, I'm afraid I'm going to starve to death......"

On the third day, the outside world also saw the newly released major newspapers, and was also shocked by this abrupt news.

Most people speculate that this is related to Zhao Chuanxin's troubles in Tianjin.

They believe that Lugang Town is in a hurry to clear up the relationship, and they are afraid that Governor Yuan and Aixin Jueluo Yixuan father and son will be liquidated afterwards.

After all, one is a feudal official who holds military power, and the other is an important minister who controls the government.

The two joined forces, and they stomped their feet and shook the opposition.

I can't help but sigh that people's hearts are fickle, and righteousness is no longer the first thing in the rivers and lakes.

……

Capital.

Zhang Rong frowned and asked Zhao Chuanxin: "Mr. Zhao, aren't we going back to Guanwai, what are we doing in the capital?" ”

"At that time, Wang Zhanyuan told me that there was a debtor who was wronged, and asked me to find Aixin Jueluo Yixuan and his son.

Later, Yuan Datou got involved, and he told me that the source was not in them now, but the old woman in the Forbidden City.

I'm trying to solve the problem at the root, if I don't come to the capital, where will I come? ”

Zhang Rong was shocked: "It's hard to do it, you want to ......"

"Look at you, that's cowardice." Zhao Chuanxin said disdainfully: "Where did you have the courage to blow up the five ministers with explosives?" ”

"It's different."

"Heh, how is it different?"

If you want to say what is different, Zhang Rong can't say.

He wished for the end of the dynasty.

But when he thought about some of the circumstances, he just didn't think it was right.

He just wants the country to be rich and the people strong, and expel foreigners, but he doesn't want to see a chaotic scene.

After a long silence, he said: "There are countless eunuchs, palace maids and guards in the palace. I know that Mr. Zhao has the courage to be unsuitable, but do you want to step on the corpses of these weak people and rush in? ”

Zhao Chuanxin was stunned.

He really hadn't thought about it that much.

When he was in the United States, Westerners called him the "Executioner of the East" and "The Butcher of the Far East".

But in fact, Zhao Chuanxin is not a murderer.

This is especially true when dealing with fellow citizens.

But if you don't kill them, it seems that you can't just subdue these people and go in to find the old woman without alarming anyone.

Zhao Chuanxin grabbed his messy hair and said with a smile: "The last time I went to the United States to make trouble, I actually helped the Americans issue a sea fishing document to arrest me." This time, someone was still sent to arrest me. Give her a few colors, and the dog thing wants to open a dye shop? This doesn't give her a long memory, and she thinks Zhao is at her disposal. ”

“……”

Zhang Rong didn't know how to persuade him.

Zhao Chuanxin waved his hand and interrupted what he was about to say: "I have made up my mind, so there is no need to say more." At night, find a place closer to the Forbidden City and wait to watch the fireworks. ”

Night.

Zhang Rong came to an inn and said when he entered the door: "Come to a guest room, ask for a window facing east." ”

"Okay, Chenghui, two corners of Xiaoyang."

Zhang Rong took out his pocket, I, Cao, forgot to borrow money from Zhao Chuanxin.

He cried with a sad face: "Can you take credit first?" My friend will arrive later. ”

"That's not going to happen."

"Look at the clothes on my body, take off the mortgage first."

"Your clothes look like prison uniforms, worthless."

“……”

Zhang Rong, the dignified son of a rich family, is so downcast that he can't afford to live in an ordinary inn in Xiaoyang in the two corners.

He could only sneak out of the inn, looking at the sky at a forty-five degree angle and sighing that the world was difficult.

Then, in the direction of the Xihua Gate of the Forbidden City, he staggered forward, his back was very gloomy.

He also had to avoid the night patrol soldiers and the like, because he was now a fugitive.

Both legs were numb, and the black city wall was in sight.

The majestic Forbidden City, there is no movement in the middle of the night.

Zhang Rong found a wall root and squatted down, looking at the Forbidden City in a daze.

After waiting for about an hour, he finally saw a fire rising from the western wall, and then the roar came.

I, Cao, Zhao Chuanxin turned out to be like a cannon in the Forbidden City!

Previously, Zhang Rong and his friends tried to kill the five ministers at the train station, which was already a major event that caused a sensation throughout the country.

Compared with Zhao Chuanxin's bombardment of the Forbidden City today, it is still a small thing.

How dare he!

Zhang Rong's eyes widened, staring at the city wall without blinking.

Immediately after, there was a flash of fire.

There was another "boom".

Zhang Rong was sure that he heard the sound of the building being torn apart and exploded as it was hit by shelling.

Immediately, the fire flashed again.

Rumble!

A total of three shots were fired.

The first shot, it seems, misses anything.

The last two guns should have all hit the target.

Then, before the fourth shot could be fired, gunfire erupted in the direction of the Forbidden City.

In the Qing Dynasty, except for the end of the road, counting forward, there were several defense lines inside and outside the palace.

Inner court guards, inner guards, clan guards, these imperial guards are all selected from the three banners. I don't know how good they are, anyway, they themselves say it's the elite.

There are about 600 people in this part, and it is the innermost line of defense.

In addition, it is a pro-military camp, with a number of about 1,400 people, and they are also in the flag.

On the periphery, there are a large number of guards of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, who have to work and have the duty of guards, including the forward battalion, the guard battalion, and the cavalry battalion, with a number of about 7,000 people.

The rest, including the firearms battalion, the Shenji battalion, the infantry commander yamen, and so on, are even more numerous.

Of course, not all of them are in the Imperial Palace, but if someone really wants to assassinate the royal family, it can be described as difficult.

Not to mention a few lines of defense, it is not easy to break through the moat and enter the Forbidden City.

But since the Eight-Nation Alliance came in, Cixi found that these people were actually useless straw bales.

So, when Yuan Datou began to train the new army.

Now that the six towns of Beiyang have been formed, the forbidden army of the original old army will also be dismissed.

The Forbidden City is now guarded by the newly built Army First Town and Sixth Town in turn.

How many people are there in a town?

Up to 12,000 people!

Naturally, it is impossible for all of these people to be in the palace.

But when the cannon sounded at the head of the Forbidden City, all the guards inside and outside the city were mobilized.

North of Xihua Gate, on the city wall outside Cining Palace, is the target of these guards.

But because of the haste with which the cannon was fired, their men had not yet been able to gather, and the sound of the guns was uneven.

At the head of the inner city, there is a wall of pheasants that have been removed, revealing the city wall below.

The city wall was cleared by Zhao Chuanxin so that the field guns could be placed diagonally.

The reason for the delay of more than an hour is that it takes to clean the wall.

He looked at the bombarded Cining Palace and nodded with satisfaction.

The first shot, he hit crookedly.

After all, a cannon is different from a gun, and he needs to calibrate the devil's crystal glasses. In addition, the wall is not as good as the flat ground, the area is very narrow, and after the cannon is fired, the recoil almost pushes the cannon off the wall.

Fortunately, before falling, Zhao Chuanxin put the cannon into the space in time.

I'm afraid no one else can fire at this wall except him.

But both the second and third shots hit.

At this time, there were already guards who dared to come, and fired their guns far away from this side.

There was chaos in the imperial city, and there were many eunuchs and palace maids like carp crossing the river, coming out of all corners, scattering and wailing and fleeing.

Zhao Chuanxin put away the cannon, took out the Madsen machine gun, and swept it down to strafe.

Tata Tata ......

The purpose is not to kill, but to force these guards back.

Sure enough, the wolves who had been beaten by the guards rushed to the ground.

Zhao Chuanxin turned around and saw the fire shining not far away, obviously more Beiyang troops were coming.

He galloped over the city walls, stepping on the pheasants, and rattling the tiles on them.

Balanced with his arms outstretched, he almost fell off a few times.

This pheasant is about less than a meter high, and the top is pointed, and Zhao Chuanxin's two feet need to be staggered on both sides to barely run.

He passed by Cining Palace, glanced over there, and saw no casualties, so he couldn't help but wonder.

In fact, he didn't know where Cixi lived, but according to convention, the Queen Mother should live in Cining Palace.

But if Cixi lives in Cining Palace, there should be a lot of people here?

Why no one?

When he arrived in the West Sixth Palace area, he heard the escape eunuch and palace maid talking, and he found out the truth.

"Quick, go to Chuxiu Palace, Lafayette must be frightened."

"Could it be that foreigners are coming in again?"

"Go to Galeries Lafayette, it's safe there!"

What?

Zhao Chuanxin was stunned.

Cixi in Chuxiu Palace?

Then I spent a long time, and my feelings were three shots in vain?

He saw a group of eunuchs and palace maids running in the direction of Chuxiu Palace, and he had an idea and fell down the city wall.

He used the Azure Ghost Armor to give him a speed bonus, and quickly caught up with a fairly tall eunuch, and slammed his arms around the eunuch's neck from behind, covering his mouth.

"Don't make any noise, I'll kill you if you dare to make a noise."

The people in the palace are all human spirits, at least much more shrewd than the people outside.

The eunuch didn't have much loyalty to speak of, and he hurriedly nodded.

Zhao Chuanxin let go of a hand and put a pistol against the eunuch's back: "What I have in my hand is a masturbator, do you know what a masturbation is?" ”

"I know, I know, it's a handcuff!"

"You undress now, quick. Then I tied you up so you could shirk your responsibilities tomorrow. ”

Zhao Chuanxin has always been good at convincing people with virtue.

The eunuch's head was very bright, and he thought of a variety of possibilities in his head in an instant.

Most likely, the man behind him wanted his clothes as cover and escaped from the Forbidden City.

After thinking it through, he hurriedly suggested: "This strong man, you'd better knock me out." Otherwise, I will still be punished. ”

Zhao Chuanxin scratched his sideburns with his gun-wielding hand: "Then you can think about it, I'm not very skilled, I wanted to knock a person unconscious last time, but I didn't control the strength and killed me." ”

He really can't knock people out, this kind of ultra-high-tech work, I'm afraid no one will do it except for the practitioner!

The eunuch's body trembled: "Don't be stunned, you tie me up and gag my mouth again." ”

"Those who know the times are Junjie, and it seems that you are also a Junjie."

"Yes, yes, I'm Junjie."
