Chapter Forty-Six: Each Harbors a Ghost Child


After a long while, Liu Youjin finally said: "Marshuai Chen, how about you and I join forces, dig out the treasure and then deal with Xia Dalong together?"

Chen Zikun didn't speak, just smiled meaningfully.

"Okay, it's three to seven, you three and I'm seven, that's alright."

Liu Youjin slapped his thigh and said.

Still silence.

"Forty or six cents, no more.

After all, this is our Zeng family's money."

Liu Youjin seemed a little anxious.

Chen Zikun snorted: "I haven't settled the debt with you yet for pretending to be a ghost to scare the female relatives.

If word spreads that the ghost in the county government house is pretended by you, County Magistrate Liu, I don't see how you have the nerve to pretend to be the county magistrate again." long."

Liu Youjin gritted his teeth, stamped his feet, and said: "If you add two to one and make five, split it in half.

That's okay."

"Deal" Chen Zikun stretched out his hand and struck with County Magistrate Liu in the air.

The two of them laughed with ulterior motives.

There was a rumble and another thunder explosion.

Jian Bing and Yao Yilei came in with supper, two bowls of Xiaohuan, a plate of dry-cut white meat, a plate of peanuts, a plate of cold cucumbers, and a pot of small wine.

They placed them on the table.

County Magistrate Liu cupped his hands and said: " Thank you, Mrs.

Sister-in-law.”

The two ladies ignored him, and Yao Yilei rolled her eyes at him.

She originally had a good impression of this knowledgeable and sensible county magistrate, but she didn't expect him to be a liar who pretended to be a trickster.

Magistrate Liu's hard-working image was completely ruined.

County Magistrate Liu smiled coquettishly, wiped his gold-rimmed glasses with a towel, put them on again, poured two glasses of wine, picked up the glass in front of him and said, "I'll apologize to everyone for pretending to be a ghost.

I'll do it myself."

Three cups of fine."

He drank three glasses of wine in succession, and Chen Zikun also joined him for one.

He sent Jian Bing and Yao Yilei back to their rooms to rest, and said straight to the point: "There is no rush about the treasure.

Anyway, whether you dig it or not, it is all there.

It won't be there."

Now that he has legs and has wings to fly, the top priority is to deal with Xia Dalong.

As far as I know, he has a close relationship with Governor Sun, which may be detrimental to me. " Liu Youjin said: "Yes, Xia Dalong has an adopted son who works as an adjutant to Sun Kaiqin in the provincial capital.

He also has a younger brother named Xia Dahu, who is a senior general under Sun Kaiqin.

I heard that he was promoted to major general and brigade commander not long ago.

The Xia family has been operating in Nantai for many years and has a very solid foundation.

If I could bring him down, I would have done it long ago.

Hehe, to put it bluntly, if you really want to fight with him, you may not win. " "How do you say this?"

Liu Youjin said: "Xia Dalong controls the security team in the county, and his family spends a lot of money to hire twenty or thirty bodyguards with quick guns.

The walls of Xia's courtyard are high and thick.

It is said that they are made of bricks made of glutinous rice juice.

There are two wells in the yard, which store grain and bacon all year round.

Once the door is closed, even if a thousand people attack it for a year, they can't defeat it. " Chen Zikun smiled disdainfully.

There is no need to discuss military issues with a scholar like County Magistrate Liu.

To deal with this kind of wall, a small piece of TNT can solve the problem, but what he said is also true.

Solving Xia Dalong is not that simple. matter.

"Then what do you mean?"

"In my opinion, cutting off his arms first, then his head, and controlling the overall situation are nothing more than financial power and military power.

The soldiers in Nantai County are the security corps.

There are two inputs to the wealth.

The first is the city gate tax. , All goods entering the city must pay taxes, and the second is the poll tax.

County residents have to pay a certain amount of money every month for the security team to suppress bandits.

In fact, more than half of this money goes into Xia Dalong's pocket. " "You are the envoy of the Jiangbei Guards.

You have the right to take over the jurisdiction of the security corps.

After incorporating the security corps, the city gate tax and head tax will naturally belong to you.

Xia Dalong's reliance will be reduced by half.

Then he will find a few more victims.

Go to the county government to complain, anyway Xia Dalong owes a lot of blood debts.

This is easy.

When the time comes, I will come forward and let Mr.

Xia confront him in court.

At that time, you will arrange a swordsman in the court to take him down with an order, and no one will be punished.

I can’t say half a word.”

After saying that, Liu Youjin smiled sadly and made a melon-cutting gesture.

His fingers were very slender, like women's hands.

It was more suitable to play the role of a female ghost.

Making such a masculine gesture was a bit awkward.

Not enough momentum.

Chen Zikun also smiled: "County Magistrate Liu, you are so insidious."

"Thank you for the compliment.

I am also forced to have no choice.

My father died miserably.

Oh, Guardian Commander, what do you think of my plan?"

"Great idea, I'll do as you say.

Come on, let's go."

Chen Zikun picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

The next day, the rain finally stopped and the county was peaceful.

No one knew the story that had happened in the county government house.

Chen Zikun, the Jiangbei Guards envoy, summoned Qiu Fuzhao, the head of the county security group, and had a candid conversation with him.

"Captain Qiu, how long have you been working in the security team?"

"Report, worked for two years."

"I became the leader in just two years.

He is young and promising."

Qiu Fuzhao was very excited, and every pockmark on his face was blooming.

He tried to imitate the military style and straightened his back and said: "I'm sorry for the military guard."

Chen Zikun said: "The Jiangbei Protectorate Envoy has a brigade with three regiments.

I think Commander Qiu is quite suitable.

You might as well become the commander of my mixed brigade."

Qiu Fuzhao was stunned.

The commander of the provincial army was not the same as the commander of the county security regiment.

He was a serious colonel with at least a thousand guns.

Mr.

Xia's cousin was the Jiangdong Provincial Army. head of When I go back to my hometown to visit my relatives, I always ride in a sedan chair with eight carriages.

It’s so grand.

I have always dreamed of being an official like that.

I wear a woolen military uniform, carry a foreign knife, and wear riding boots.

No matter where I go, no girls or wives are allowed to surround me.

Turn it yourself.

"Captain Qiu, Commander Qiu."

Chen Zikun was puzzled as to why Qiu Fuzhao was smiling and drooling.

"Yes."

Qiu Fuzhao woke up from his daydream, stood up quickly, wiped his saliva and said, "But where is Mr.

Xia?"

Chen Zikun said: "I will naturally go and tell Master Xia.

I am just asking about your attitude today."

"I" Qiu Fuzhao hesitated for a while.

He is Xia Dalong's nephew.

Xia Dalong has been treating him well for a long time.

Even he, the leader of the regiment, is no exception to the scheme of cheating and cheating, and his monthly salary is only fifteen yuan.

"If you want to, just be willing.

If you don't want to, just don't want to.

Please be happy, gentlemen," Chen Zikun shouted.

"I'm willing," Qiu Fuzhao straightened his back.

"Okay, I'll invite all the brothers to Zuixianju at noon today.

You won't come back until you're drunk."

Chen Zikun smiled brightly.

Qiu Fuzhao also laughed.

At noon, all the young leaders of the security team arrived at Zuixianju.

Chen Zikun asked Zhao Yufeng to accompany them to drink.

The food and wine in Nantai County were quite cheap.

You could eat a whole table of food for just one ocean, and there was enough liquor.

"Brothers, you are so good, don't save money for our commander."

Zhao Yufeng stepped on the bench, holding the wine bowl, and shouted with a red face and thick neck.

The brothers in the security team were also drunk, and they were all talking: "Adjutant Zhao, pay attention to the places where brothers will be useful in the future, and say a word in water or fire."

Zhao Yufeng said: "From now on, we will be a family.

We are all regular soldiers of the 7th Mixed Brigade.

Don't be polite to anyone."

"Yes, we are all a family" "How dare you recruit me into my team?"

Xia Dalong slammed a white porcelain bowl on the ground.

The ground was covered with fragments, and the servants were silent.

"Master, I didn't fall for his deception.

I don't care if the leader of the group is not the leader."

Qiu Fuzhao said righteously.

"Okay, it's not in vain that my uncle didn't hurt you in vain.

I'll help you next time.

When you are transferred to the provincial capital, you will be a battalion commander first, and then gradually rise up.

You will be able to become a regiment commander in a few years."

Xia Dalong is Coming from a military background, he naturally knows how to win over people's hearts.

Qiu Fuzhao stood at attention: "Thank you, sir.

Oh no, thank you uncle."

"Okay, you can go down."

Xia Dalong waved his hand.

"Uncle, do you want to invite him as a guest tomorrow?"

Qiu Fuzhao asked.

"Please, the invitations have been sent out, can they be taken back?"

Xia Dalong said.

"I know, I'm going down."

As soon as Qiu Fuzhao went out, he met Miss Xia head-on.

He immediately laughed and said: "Cousin."

Miss Xia nodded slightly and went into the house.

Qiu Fuzhao was ecstatic, she nodded to me, and went away happily, almost hitting the osmanthus tree in the yard.

On the evening of the next day, Chen Zikun and his two ladies went to the Xia family mansion for a banquet.

Twelve guards followed closely behind.

Welcome and invite the distinguished guests to the living room, where the guests and hosts will be seated.

A female student with bright eyebrows and sharp teeth, wearing a dandruff skirt, walked in.

Xia Dalong smiled and said, "Daughter, why don't you come and meet the military guard and the two ladies?"

Miss Xia was gracious and generous, and she walked over and introduced herself: "Hello, Mr.

Guard, Madam.

My name is Xia Jingxi, and I go to school at the Women's Normal College in the provincial capital."

As she spoke, a pair of phoenix eyes swept over Chen Zikun.

Marshal Chen was not wearing a military uniform today. , but a white suit, which is elegant and elegant, and the two ladies are as beautiful as flowers and jade, and they are a perfect match.

Jian Bing and Yao Yilei shook hands with Xia Jingxi respectively and gave her a bottle of French perfume.

They both felt that it was a gift from God to see such a beautiful and generous girl in this remote place.

However, such a cute and gentle girl She turned out to be Xia Dalong's daughter, which is really a bit sighing.

"Miss Xia can often come to play with us in the future."

Yao Yilei said.

"I must go, I'm worried that there is no one to play with."

Xia Jingxi was very happy and smiled sweetly.

Qiu Fuzhao on the side looked fascinated.

Xia Dalong coughed dryly: "Xiao Xi, sir, let's talk about business.

You can go back and review your homework."

Xia Jingxi was a little unhappy, but realized that her father's face was a little serious today, so she went down obediently.

Xia Dalong said: "Today, Marshal Chen and his two ladies are paying tribute.

I, Mr.

Xia, am very happy.

I have prepared some good things for you that are not available in Beijing or Shanghai.

Come here, serve the food."

The servants first carried four small round tables and placed one in front of each person.

The round tables were very strange, with a hole in the middle.

I don't know what they were used for.

"What are you doing to eat hot pot?"

Yao Yilei wondered.

"Wait a moment, madam, we will announce it soon."

Xia Dalong smiled boldly, clapped his hands, and the servants brought in four rattan cages, each containing a monkey.

The monkeys were so frightened that they jumped up and down in the cages, squeaking.

Squeaking.

"This dish is called eating monkey brains alive."

Xia Dalong's voice suddenly became extremely cold
