In the Chen Mansion in Dongwenchang Hutong, Beijing, Yao Yilei is planning to move her belongings to Jiangbei.
In her mind, the Protector's Office should be a large and grand house with many servants and guards and no decent furniture. , curtains and so on, that is not appropriate.
Suddenly, the servant came to report that a guest had arrived.
Chen Zikun went to the front hall to meet the guest.
He saw that it was Yan Su who came.
He was dressed in casual clothes and looked slightly anxious.
Chen Zikun dismissed the servant and asked: "Brother Yan , so panicked, why?”
Yan Su said: "The Dongchuang Incident happened" Chen Zikun had already expected it, raised his eyebrows and said: "So what?"
Yan Su paused and said: "It is a serious crime to create official documents privately.
The news of your appointment as the Jiangbei Protectorate was published in the newspaper, and the entire Army Department knew about it.
They are investigating the matter thoroughly, and neither you nor I can escape."
Chen Zikun said: "One person is responsible for the work, and I will take full responsibility for this matter.
It has nothing to do with Brother Yan."
Yan Su said: "There are no eggs left when the nest is overturned.
No one can run away.
It's better to leave quickly before they make things worse."
Chen Zikun was worried.
Today was different from the past.
How could someone with a big family run away?
Besides, there were two aunts in the backyard.
How could he tell them that he had forged official documents and would be questioned and punished?
He couldn't speak.
Seeing his hesitation, Yan Su beat his chest and said: "If you keep cutting off, you will be harassed instead.
This crime is too big.
Even Marshal Wu can't save you.
If you don't leave now, when your captors come, Beijing city is..."
Can't get out."
Chen Zikun stamped his feet and turned back into the inner house.
Yao Yilei and Jian Bing were quarreling.
One said that they wanted to transport furniture from Beijing, and the other said that they wanted to find wood locally to build it.
The two refused to give in and kept chattering.
Chen Zikun shouted: "Stop arguing. , pack up your belongings and leave quickly.”
Yao Yilei was stunned: "What's wrong?"
"It's a long story.
I'll explain it on the way.
I'll give you five minutes.
Pack your things quickly."
Chen Zikun took out his pocket watch and started counting it.
Seeing this, Yao Yilei didn't dare to say anything.
She quickly returned to the bedroom, pulled out the suitcase from under the bed, and started to pack the belongings.
Fortunately, they had just moved here and hadn't had time to buy various antiques, calligraphy and paintings, otherwise it would have been difficult to pack them up.
It's troublesome.
After putting the jewelry box and the cash at home into the suitcase, Yao Yilei wanted to pick up a few more clothes and shoes, but when she picked up this item, she thought of that one.
It was hard to choose for a while, and this time was greatly delayed.
Chen Zikun was waiting anxiously.

He came in and scolded: "Don't bring any clothes with you.
Hurry up, it will be too late if you don't leave."
Seeing what he said was shocking, Yao Yilei hurriedly closed her suitcase, took it out, and walked to the gate with Chen Zikun Jianbing.
The car outside had already started.
Yan Su stood beside the car and looked at his pocket watch from time to time, anxious.
There was no way not to be anxious.
This matter was indeed a big deal.
According to his plan, after the new commander-in-chief came, the chiefs of each department of the Army Department would definitely have to be replaced.
By then, no one would be able to verify the files he had forged.
It was fake.
It has become true, but things It actually happened to Chen Zikun's woman.
She spread such a confidential matter to the whole city.
Even those who shouldn't know know it.
The people in the Army Department don't care about it.
They have already begun to investigate the matter.
The matter will be revealed. today Chen Zikun and others came out in a panic and were carrying their luggage to the car.
Suddenly a car came straight to Chen's house.
It drove up in a flash.
A colonel in uniform jumped out of the car.
He looked at them arrogantly and said: " Who is Chen Zikun?"
Chen Zikun stood up and said, "I am."
The colonel said: "I am an aide to the Prime Minister's Office.
Acting Prime Minister Gao has invited me to come with me."
With a bang, the suitcase in Yao Yilei's hand fell to the ground.
Although the senior men of the Army Department usually do serious business slowly, but when things concern themselves, their efficiency is absolute.
The staff of the General Affairs Department checked the archived documents, and each of them was shocked and speechless.
The man surnamed Chen was indeed promoted to major general, and the president used his seal.
The stub of the appointment letter of the Jiangbei Protector was also placed in the archives.
On it was the signature of Prime Minister and Army Chief Zhang Shaozeng and the seal of the customs defense.
It's surprising.
Being promoted to general is a big deal.
Why does no one in the Army Ministry know about it?
The person in charge doesn't know how this file came about.
Could it be a god descending to earth?
Everyone carefully checked the seal, the chief of the army's customs and the president's.
The seal cannot be forged by forgery.
Even if the engraving master were to engrave it again, it would never be completely consistent, but the big seal on the letter of appointment is guaranteed to be fake.
The elders were puzzled, and after thinking hard, they finally came to the conclusion that the letter of appointment was forged by Chen Zikun, a bold maniac, who took advantage of the paralysis of the government and no one in the War Department to work.
Now that there is no leader in the Ministry of War, there is no one who wants to deal with Chen Zikun, so a group of people are aggressively preparing to go to Gao Lingwei, the acting chief minister of the interior, and want him to give an explanation.
For such a person who secretly creates documents, It must be punished severely.
The officers elected Director Song of the General Affairs Department as their leader.
A group of people cursed and went straight to the Prime Minister's Office.
The Prime Minister's Office is located in Iron Lion Alley, not far from the Ministry of War.
It only took two steps to get there, but they were stopped by people from the Attendant's Office of the Prime Minister's Office.
I stopped him and was told that the Acting Prime Minister was conducting an investiture ceremony and could not meet with you.

Everyone thought that they had nothing to do, so they might as well go and watch the excitement.
A large group of people gathered outside the small auditorium of the Prime Minister's Office to watch.
It didn't matter what they saw.
They were all dumbfounded.
In the small auditorium, Gao Lingwei was awarding Chen Zikun the third-class Wenhu Medal.
This Medal of Wenhu had long been decided to be awarded to Chen Zikun, but it was only delayed due to changes in the political arena.
After the American Minister awarded Chen Zikun the Star of Commendation, Gao Lingwei immediately decided to award this medal, so there was the scene just outside the door of Chen Zikun's house.
One scene.
Amidst the sound of military music, Acting Prime Minister Gao personally hung a third-class Wenhu Medal on Chen Zikun's neck, patted his shoulders and encouraged him.
Chinese and foreign reporters took photos, and Acting Prime Minister Gao delivered an impromptu speech.
Won applause from the audience.
He highly praised Chen Zikun's heroic performance in the Lincheng train robbery, calling him a model for the soldiers of the Republic of China.
Then he changed the subject and said: "There is another good news to be announced today.
The Ministry of War has appointed Chen Zikun as the commander of Jiangbei.
Guard the Army, let us congratulate him with warm applause for his advancement."
When the applause rang out, Chen Zikun looked slightly stunned.
Looking at Yan Su in the crowd, he was also confused.
Looking at the colleagues from the Army Department surrounding the door of the small auditorium, Chen Zikun was even more confused.
"Zikun, congratulations."
Gao Lingwei smiled and extended his right hand to Chen Zikun.
Chen Zikun stood up and saluted, then shook hands with the acting prime minister, bowed slightly and said, "Thank you, prime minister."
He raised his head and looked at it inadvertently.
Look outside the door.
At the entrance of the small auditorium, everyone in the Ministry of War was dumbfounded.
To complain at this juncture would be to slap Prime Minister Gao in the face in public.
It would not matter if he left or stayed, it would be extremely embarrassing.
After the award ceremony, the attendant came forward and reported secretly: "Chief Commander, Director Song of the General Affairs Department of the Ministry of War came with a group of people.
I don't know why."
Gao Lingwei frowned and said, "I was just looking for him.
Ask them to wait for me in the office."
Half an hour later, Gao Lingwei answered the office, and a group of officers immediately stood up and saluted.
Chief Gao waved casually, sat behind his desk, and picked up a telegram to report: "Old Song, you came just in time, Wu Ziyu called.
Report and ask your Army Ministry to allocate military pay, food, supplies, and equipment to the new Jiangbei Guards Commander Chen Zikun.
Since Chief Jin is not in the ministry, you should consider it."
For a moment, all the officers who had been in a turbulent mood collectively lost their voices and said nothing.
It turns out that they were acting on orders.
They were promoted to major generals and appointed as military guards.
Behind the scenes, Wu Peifu, an old boy, was behind the scenes.
Now that Jin Yongyan has fallen, the Beiyang government is completely ruled by the Zhili system.
Cao Cao is about to become the president.
Marshal Wu is at the height of his power.
Every time Luoyang sneezes, there will be an earthquake in Beijing and Tianjin.
Chen Zikun is originally a direct descendant of Marshal Wu.
He was born abroad.
He has repeatedly accomplished extraordinary feats, even if he is promoted to major general, it makes sense both emotionally and rationally.

No one would throw an egg against a rock.
Now Marshal Wu is the hardest rock.
Anyway, Chen Zikun's appointment as the Jiangbei Guards Officer won't hinder anyone's business.
On the contrary, it will free up a fat man from the Ministry of Communications.
Why not?
, so everyone had a tacit understanding not to mention the inexplicable appointments and promotions.
"Yes, I humbly obey my orders."
Director Song stood at attention.
"Oh, what do you want from me?"
Gao Lingwei asked.
Director Song had an idea and said, "That's right.
Since Chen Zikun has been appointed as the Jiangbei Protector, wouldn't there be a vacant seat in the Ministry of Communications for him to take up his post?"
Gao Lingwei waved his hand and said: "Needless to say, you don't have to worry.
I have already considered this issue.
The good news will not go to outsiders.
The position of deputy director of the Railway Security Division of the Ministry of Transportation will definitely be filled by someone from your Army Ministry. " The officers looked at each other, their faces filled with joy, and their hearts began to beat wildly, expecting this extra-large pie to fall on their heads.
"The candidate has been decided, and Wang Geng, who was born in the United States, will take over."
Gao Lingwei's words extinguished everyone's hope.
In Iron Lion Alley, Chen Zikun and Yan Su walked side by side.
The two looked at each other from time to time and laughed.
The progress of the matter was too dramatic.
A telegram from Luoyang turned Chen Zikun, the stolen military envoy, into a The real military protector, the private salt has become the official salt.
Now there is no need to consider the issue of escape, but how to obtain food, wages and equipment.
"The Ministry of War can't even pay salaries, let alone advance military pay.
It can't even think about firearms and ammunition.
Even the broken guns captured by Fengjun in the Zhili-Fengtian war last year were confiscated.
In short, In other words, the Army Department is just a Qingshui Yamen with nothing."
Yan Su said.
"What should we do?"
Chen Zikun asked.
Yan Su stopped, looked at Miss Yao behind him, and whispered: "Isn't there a bank president's daughter beside you?"
