Chapter 282: The Xi'an Incident (I)
Xi'an Overseer's Mansion, the hall was full of people. Chen Shufan, as the emperor of Shaanxi, has now won the trust of Premier Duan Qirui, and suddenly became a celebrity in Beiyang, the largest force in the Republic of China. There is a way for a person to ascend to heaven, and Chen Shufan's descendants are needless to say, one by one, their faces are full of joy. You must know that although Chen Shufan was the first person in Xi'an, he was only a small local warlord, and there was no second way to ascend except for military expansion. Therefore, Chen Shufan's henchmen and generals gave up the idea of continuing to climb up, and enjoyed all this in front of him with peace of mind. They colluded with the local rich squires with the power in their hands to accumulate countless wealth. But as a man with a handle, who wants to be so stagnant for the rest of his life. Now that Chen Shufan has attained the Tao, these chickens and dogs who follow Chen Shufan can also get the opportunity to ascend to heaven. The barren Qinling Mountains and the rich Central Plains are still incomparable. If you can be an official in a place like Hebei and Shandong, then oil and water will not tire people to death. And all this hope is on Chen Shufan, of course, they have to do their best.
As for the local wealthy merchants, of course, they were not far behind, and the banquet of Grand Overseer Chen did not have a shocking gimmick, but these merchants from the Jīng Tongzuan Camp still gave a thick gift list. And he even broke his head to get an invitation, hoping to get a familiar face with Chen Shufan in the Overseer's Mansion, deal well with the Emperor of Shaanxi, and do a lot of business. Businessmen seek profit, and any decision is made for greater benefits.
No matter what kind of mind he has, but the people who can have a place in Chen Shufan's hall are all people with heads and faces in the Qinling region. Of course, there were more than a dozen tables outside the courtyard. These are added on an ad hoc basis. After all, many people have sent generous gifts, and they can't even make people can't even drink a glass of thin wine, and when this kind of thing is said, he Chen Shufan will not be poked in the back. It's just that these banquets outside the courtyard whether Grand Overseer Chen shows up or not depends on his mood.
There were five tables in the hall, among which the most zhōng yāng table was the most luxurious, and the first one was definitely today's protagonist Chen Shufan, and next to him sat Chen Shufan's dog-headed military advisor Liu Shilong. The others are all real wealthy families in Shaanxi. It has a deep influence in the whole of Shaanxi. From here, it can also be seen that the table of Grand Overseer Chen can be served by anyone.
There was a table at the very edge of the hall, and only six people were made, all of whom were dressed in military uniforms, but the atmosphere in it was incompatible with the harmony in the hall. And four of them sat together, isolating the other two. Sitting at this table were the high-ranking generals of the Qin army. Zeng Jixian, Zhang Baolin, Zhang Feisheng, and Zhang Danping are the four descendants of Chen Shufan, and the two people opposite each other are Hu Jingyi and Gao Jun, who have always been at odds with Chen Shufan.
At the beginning of the banquet, the whole hall was full of excitement. But at this table in the corner, the atmosphere is extremely depressing. Chen Shufan's general, Zeng Jixian, and the other four looked at Hu Jingyi and Gao Jun opposite with gloating eyes from time to time. Gao Jun's face was slightly nervous, and his eyes were full of jealousy when he looked at the four people opposite. But the old god Hu Jingyi is here, he should eat and drink. I don't care what kind of place this is.
"Everyone, everyone! Thank you for taking the time to attend the Overseer's banquet. On behalf of all of the Overseers, I would like to toast you. Chen Shufan got up and said.
Everyone in the hall stood up and responded. After all, it is rude for the host to get up and toast, and for others not to react. But soon the harmonious atmosphere in the hall was interrupted by a shouting voice.
"Hu Jingyi, what do you mean!" On the very edge of the table, which was deliberately ignored, Zeng Jixian and the other four generals of the Qin army were all standing with their glasses raised. The two people on the opposite side were sitting with a big Malaysian golden knife. Hu Jingyi was indifferent, as if he hadn't heard Chen Shufan's words, and he seemed to have heard it, but he didn't take it to heart.
His arrogant attitude angered Zeng Jixian. Zeng Jixian and others are in high positions, not relying on ability and military merits, but on the relationship with Chen Shufan's classmates and fellow villagers. In normal times, Hu Jingyi looked down on them very much, but Hu Jingyi was humble under Chen Shufan's perennial suppression, and he couldn't deter these incompetent people at all. And in order to pat Chen Shufan, these villains are embarrassed by themselves in all aspects. He has even suffered several waves of assassinations, and if he hadn't been blessed with a great life, I'm afraid he would have been in a different place long ago. With several conflicts, the contradictions between the two sides grew. At Chen Shufan's banquet today, they took the initiative to sit with Hu Jingyi, just to see Hu Jingyi's jokes when Chen Shufan announced the order of the Beiyang War Department.
But I didn't expect Hu Jingyi to lose face at the beginning of the banquet. Zeng Jixian, who was relatively shallow in the city, couldn't help but scold. His reprimand immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the hall to Hu Jingyi and the others.
Gao Jun was a little nervous and wanted to stand up, but was stopped by Hu Jingyi.
"It's not interesting, it's just that I'm tired of walking, my legs and feet are sore, and I don't want to stand up!" Hu Jingyi said slowly. Then he picked up the double amount of wine on the table and drank it.
"You ......" Zeng Jixian was furious. I still want to shout at it. But Chen Shufan's voice came.
"Jixian, don't be rude. Since Captain Hu is tired, let him sit! Although Chen Shufan said it lightly, the murderous spirit in his words could be heard by everyone. The wealthy businessmen present all shook their heads in their hearts, feeling sorry for Hu Jingyi's arrogant behavior. Hu Jingyi is a celebrity, at least he has great prestige in this Qinling region, and it is not an exaggeration to be regarded as the first hero of the revolution. It's a pity that the final overseer position was occupied by Chen Shufan, who is good at drilling camps. I was even more suppressed by Chen Shufan. The influence in the entire Qinling region is getting smaller and smaller.
"Thank you, Overseer!" Hu Jingyi said with a big grin. Then he suddenly stood up and walked to Chen Shufan at the main table with a wine glass.
"Lord Overseer, although I, Hu Jingyi, am not in good health, I still have the strength to walk a few steps to toast to the Overseer. The Overseer won't be disgraced! Hu Jingyi had a mocking smile on his face.
Chen Shufan was shocked, and secretly said that Hu Jingyi wouldn't know anything, right? Impossible, the matter of moving the army by himself is absolutely confidential, how can he, who has always been suppressed by himself, know. Thinking of this, Chen Shufan's heart was a little relieved. There was also a hint of a smile on his face. In his heart, he was also curious about what kind of medicine Hu Jingyi sold in the gourd.
"Brother Hu laughed, you and I are robes who participated in the revolution together, how can this overseer not give face. Come, drink this glass of wine, and we will still be good brothers in the future! Chen Shufan took the lead in raising his glass. Although the fear of Hu Jingyi in his heart has reached an irreparable level, the basic face is to be given. After all, the people in this hall are all figures with heads and faces in Shaanxi, although he Chen Shufan hugged the thigh of Premier Duan Qirui, but he will still be in Shaanxi for a long time in the future. These snake-like bigwigs can't be offended.
Hu Jingyi walked to Chen Shufan's side, Chen Shufan instinctively felt a little uneasy, but he didn't take it to heart, joking, this is the Overseer's Mansion, who dares to be evil to himself, he doesn't want to live.
"Bang!" The wine glass touched, Hu Jingyi raised his head and drank it, indescribably heroic and chic, the Qinling area is also a place where the people are bold, and it is also a place where heroes came out in ancient times. The 800-mile Qinling Mountains gave birth to a heroic and unrestrained Qin dialect, and gave birth to the heroism of the Qinling people from the bones.
"Smack!" The wine glass was thrown to the ground by Hu Jingyi, and at the same time, a small Browning pistol appeared in Hu Jingyi's hand, and the muzzle of the gun was aimed at Chen Shufan, who had just put down the wine glass, and he shot very decisively.
Chen Shufan felt a pain in his eyebrows, and then felt the heat on his face, and his vision became blurred. Then it was dark, completely swallowed by the endless darkness. He didn't expect Hu Jingyi to kill him until he died, and he killed him in public.
"Bang Bang!" Before everyone could react, several gunshots were accompanied by the sound of several people falling to the ground.
Zeng Jixian and the four of them also fell down in amazement, and across from them stood Gao Jun, who was full of resoluteness and smoke from the muzzle of his gun.
The sudden scene of "Ah......hh The people who were drinking and feasting outside heard the whispers in the room and looked at each other. Don't know what's going on inside.
Bang dang! The door to the hall was closed by the quick-eyed Gao Jun. And Hu Jingyi's pistol was already on Liu Shilong's head.
"No...... No...... Kill me! Liu Shilong's whole person was paralyzed in fright, although he thought he was smart, but this scene happened too suddenly. Chen Shufan, who relied on himself as a backer, was killed by a neat shè in this way, and Hu Jingyi and Gao Jun actually did it in this situation. How did they bring their weapons in? They didn't want to think about the consequences of killing Chen Shufan.
"Liu Shilong, do you want to die or live?" Hu Jingyi said with a calm face. In the past few years, his rì has been extremely difficult, and many poisonous schemes have come from the hands of the obscene middle-aged man in front of him. If Hu Jingyi hates the most about Chen Shufan's descendants, needless to say, it must be Liu Shilong. It's just that the current situation doesn't allow him to kill Liu Shilong. Chen Shufan was killed by shè, although he has a very high prestige, but there are still a lot of Chen Shufan's descendants in the army, these forces don't buy their own accounts at all, although Liu Shilong is a ruthless villain, but it is undeniable that his status in Chen Shufan's lineage is extremely high, with him, many things in the future will be much easier. The Qin army still has 30,000 jīng rui, and if he wants to completely control these troops, he must have the help of Liu Shilong, the dog-headed military division. Hu Jingyi wants the entire Qinling Mountains, not for revenge. As a member of the Kuomintang, he had a set of revolutionary ideals in his heart, which allowed him to temporarily abandon his resentment towards Liu Shilong.
"I want to live, I want to ......live," Liu Shilong said busily.
