He smiled warmly, his face was full of spring breeze, the side of his straight military trousers was two red thick piping lines representing the rank of general, and below were shiny leather shoes, the white gloves were spotless, and the aura was extremely powerful, and the soldiers of the provincial army couldn't help but put down their rifles.

County Magistrate Liu breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward and said, "Protector envoy, let me introduce you, this is the head of the 11th regiment, Nie." ”

Chen Zikun bent down slightly, because he was too tall, and stretched out his hand to Nie Jinku: "Commander Nie, fortunately you made a timely move, otherwise Nantai County would have been ruined." ”

Stretching out his hand and not hitting the smiling person, not to mention that the other party's military rank is higher than his own, Nie Jinku snorted, shook hands with Chen Zikun and said: "Where and where, brother troops, with a strip of water, watch and help each other, it should be, it should be." ”

However, Nie Jinku was not easy to fool, and he immediately said: "Protector, my subordinates were killed by your wife, you have to give me an explanation for this matter." ”

Chen Zikun looked at the corpse on the ground, then looked at Yao Yilei, and asked with a smile: "Lei Lei, what's the matter, I remember that you don't even dare to kill chickens, how can you kill a soldier who is five big and three rough?" ”

Yao Yilei saw that someone was supporting her, and she was even more courageous, and said: "I didn't kill him, it was he who wanted to shoot me, but he was pounced on by Xiao Wukong and died by himself." ”

Little Wukong squatted on the tree and screamed strangely, grinning his teeth, asking for merit and reward.

Chen Zikun spread his hands and said, "It was an accident, Captain Nie." ”

County Magistrate Liu interjected: "Yes, it's a pure misunderstanding, a misunderstanding." ”

Nie Jinku didn't believe it, and asked the two soldiers: "Tell me two, what's going on?" ”

Although the two soldiers did all the bad things, they were not treacherous in nature, and they told the truth about the matter, Nie Jinku's face changed, blue and white for a while, and his eyes rolled and said: "Anyway, it's also a human life, Platoon Commander Li is still my aunt's cousin, he died outside, how can I explain to my wife." ”

County Magistrate Liu said: "Nie Regiment Chief, rest assured, we will do a good job of bereavement work and will not embarrass you." ”

Nie Jinku's tone was a little softer, but it seems that just losing money can't save his lost face, of course, there is no way to let the wife of the protector pay for his life, he thought about it, and suddenly pointed to the little Wukong on the tree and said: "If it weren't for this monkey, my brother-in-law wouldn't have died, let this beast die!" ”

Little Wukong seemed to understand his words, squeaked and screamed, jumped down from the tree and hid behind Yao Yilei.

Yao Yilei said: "There is no door!" Touching Little Wukong's head, the monkey was encouraged, and his courage increased, and he bared his teeth at Nie Jinku. The angry Nie Jinku's mouth was even more crooked.

County Magistrate Liu persuaded: "Madam, forget it, it's just a brute." As he spoke, he glanced at Yao Yilei and signaled Yao Yilei not to continue to poke the disaster bigger.

Yao Yilei didn't buy it, and said: "Little Wukong is not a beast, those who wear human skin and don't do personnel are beasts." ”

Nie Jinku was very unhappy, and said in his heart that I will give you the stairs, and you still don't appreciate it, isn't this forcing me to be mad, he said with a cold face: "What do you mean by this, madam?" ”

Yao Yilei said: "You know it in your own heart. ”

Nie Jinku snorted coldly: "Protector, farewell!" "It's going to be gone.

Chen Zikun hurriedly grabbed him: "Nie Regiment Commander, don't be angry, Madame is petty, don't be like a woman, this monkey really deserves to die, otherwise, how about we eat a monkey brain banquet at night, I will set up wine to celebrate the brothers of the 11th regiment, our defense area is so close, and we will rely on you to help each other in the future, but you can be so close." ”

Turned his head and scolded Yao Yilei harshly: "Don't go back obediently, what kind of mess are you making here!" As he spoke, he squeezed his eyes at her.

Yao Yilei is so smart, she suddenly woke up, Chen Zikun is not a good man and a woman, at this time, she must be holding back some bad idea, she immediately pretended to be very aggrieved, tears fell, turned her head and left, Jian Bing and others also followed.

When the women left the scene, the atmosphere was not so embarrassing, and County Magistrate Liu laughed and said, "Mrs. Chen is naïve, what more can her husband ask for." ”

Chen Zikun shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Let the head of Nie and the county magistrate of Liu laugh, my father-in-law used to be the deputy minister of the Ministry of Communications, and he was spoiled by such a daughter in the family." ”

Nie Jinku was secretly surprised, it turned out that the family background of this military envoy's wife was so prominent, fortunately he didn't tear his face just now, otherwise it would be bad for himself to really make trouble.

Chen Zikun said again: "At night, I will treat myself to a treat, and I will not return if I am not drunk." ”

Nie Jinku arched his hand: "Then let the protector make a bank." ”

Suddenly, he remembered the purpose of this trip and asked Liu Youjin: "County magistrate, are the money for the labor army ready?" ”

Liu Youjin said: "Almost, the gentry of this county have prepared 10,000 oceans to reward the brothers." ”

Nie Jinku was still a little dissatisfied, and said lightly: "Marching and fighting is not as simple as you think, I paid 3,000 yuan for the opening fee of the whole regiment alone, not counting the consumption of guns and bullets, 10,000 yuan...... That's too little. ”

Liu Youjin was very embarrassed: "Nantai is really poor. ”

Chen Zikun said: "As soon as the army moves, it costs tens of thousands, if you want me to say, you can't stand it without 350,000, Nantai County is poor and poor, but the poor are all ordinary people, rich families, who doesn't have a thousand children and 800, it is not okay to not let them have some blood, Nie Regiment Leader, you can rest assured, as long as you don't have enough money, we won't leave, I don't believe it, these iron roosters can really pull out a dime!" ”

Nie Jinku suddenly understood a little, and the envoy had been holding back his strength to scrape the ground but didn't do it, and this time he planned to make a small fortune with his own momentum, thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile and said: "Then there will be a strong help from the envoy of the Lao Protector." ”

Chen Zikun said: "It is incumbent on you, tonight Drunken Immortal Residence, find all the top figures in the county, let them pledge, don't make up 50,000 yuan, don't go out, Nie Tuan, do you think this method is okay?" ”

"I'll see it." Nie Jinku finally smiled.

……

Yao Yilei rushed back to the back house angrily, and saw Chen Qingfeng, a small orderly soldier who had not been seen for two days, scrubbing his clothes next to the well, and a pair of mud-stained riding boots were thrown on the ground.

No wonder Chen Zikun wore a big dress to show off on a hot day, Yao Yilei understood, and asked casually: "Qingfeng, where have you been in the past two days?" ”

Qing Feng snorted: "The protector envoy won't let me say it." ”

"That's for others, not for me." Yao Yilei stretched out her hand to pinch Qingfeng's ear, and suddenly saw a person walking out of the room, and said to herself: "Madam, don't come to harm?" ”

Yao Yilei was taken aback: "Why are you?" ”

……

In the evening, the gentry of Nantai County gathered again in the drunken Xianju restaurant, everyone was forced to smile, Li Juren did not plan to come, his daughter-in-law committed suicide by hanging the beam, and the family was doing a funeral, how could he have the heart to come out to socialize, but he was still set up from home by several soldiers.

The gentry gathered together, there were words of suffering, they looked at each other, they all shook their heads and sighed, the front door drove the tiger, the back door welcomed the wolf, who would have expected that the officers and soldiers were more ruthless than the bandits, Nantai experienced a catastrophe, and everyone here was responsible.

The Drunken Immortal Residence was occupied by the soldiers, there were sentry posts everywhere, and there were people following them when they went to the toilet, don't even think about playing tricks like urinating, everyone understands in their hearts that this is a Hongmen feast, don't take out a few thousand pieces of ocean, don't think about retreating.

With a high shout "Master Xia arrives ~~", the head of the Nantai squires in the past, Xia Dalong, who has now had a stroke, was carried in by two soldiers, two days ago when he was sick, everyone went to the house to visit, at that time Xia Dalong's mouth and nose were crooked, unable to speak, and there was often a trace of crystal saliva at the corner of his mouth, like a waste person, but today it seems that the condition has improved greatly, although he can't walk, but the facial muscles have returned to normal, and the iron gall has been turned in his right hand.

It is rumored that Master Xia was sick by Xia Jingxi, but in fact, Xia Dalong was repeatedly frustrated in the confrontation with Chen Zikun and had a stroke, although his condition did not improve at all after being recuperated by traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture, but as soon as the provincial army entered the city, his condition miraculously improved.

Master Xia has a step-son who is the adjutant of Sun Overseer, and a cousin who is the brigade commander of the provincial army, the provincial army is the same as their Xia family, the eleventh regiment is stationed in Nantai, and Master Xia's backbone is standing up again!

Everyone stood up one after another and asked for warmth, Master Xia nodded very coldly and arrogantly, and then closed his eyes to recuperate, everyone was bored, and sat down in a mockery.

The drunken immortal residence was once again reunited by the eleventh group, upstairs and downstairs, full of people inside and out, and even tables, chairs and benches were set up on the street, and the soldiers sat at the table, staring at the large pieces of meat in the bowl, salivating, but the head of the group had not yet arrived, the banquet had not started, and no one dared to move the chopsticks.

The VIPs are always the last, and the protagonist of the dinner, Nie Jinku, finally arrives in the company of Chen Zikun and Liu Youjin, and the adjutant shouts: "Stand up, salute!" The soldiers stood up in a mess, saluted with their hands and feet, and Nie Jinku waved his hands very casually: "Brothers, you have worked hard. ”

"Captain hard work!" Someone shouted, followed by a burst of laughter, Nie Regiment Commander made a bow in the afternoon, and the deeds of a little widow have spread throughout the whole regiment.

Nie Jinku smiled: "Eat and drink well, don't live up to the good intentions of your fathers and elders." After that, he entered the restaurant, and the outside immediately started to move, and the soldiers drank wine and ate meat, guessed the order, and were so unhappy that their rifles were set up on the street, and no one cared.

The group entered the private room, the gentry all stood up and saluted, Nie Jinku saw Xia Dalong sitting on the chair, and hurriedly stepped forward to call Qian: "Uncle Shi, you have always been good?" ”

Xia Dalong said: "It's not good, the night is rampant in the city, and I have a stroke of anger, and the left half of my body is not very neat." ”

Nie Jinku said: "Who is so rampant, dare to make your old man angry, I broke him." ”

Xia Dalong looked at Chen Zikun hatefully and didn't speak.
