Chapter 2: Leaving Guangzhou in anger

After becoming sworn brothers with Li Huangbai and the other three, Chen Zikun finally had someone to talk to. Whenever he had the chance, he would drink and give advice to these friends. These three were all officers who were promoted step by step from platoon leader. They had a lot of experience in leading troops. They could teach Chen Zikun something casually, which would be enough for him to think about for a long time.

Huang Shaohong's model battalion was stationed in Guangzhou. When he was fine, he led Chen Zikun into the military camp. The model battalion was indeed well-known. His military appearance and discipline were not many other troops in the Guangxi clique, and his weapons were also very advanced. The German Mauser and Maxim heavy machine guns were very popular.

Chen Zikun was puzzled and asked Huang Shaohong why the guards of Dashen Lu used French rifles.

Huang Shaohong said that when Marshal Lu fought with the French in his early years, he seized many French rifles and had feelings for him, but the equipment in the army was still mainly based on German equipment.

"The French guys are not good, and France's guns are very poor. Since Napoleon, France's national destiny has been used up. In terms of the army, Germany is the world-class. Germany was defeated in Europe and Germany, but even though it was defeated, it is still a prosperous one. If our country wants to strengthen its army, it must imitate Germany." Huang Shaoxing spoke endlessly, and his admiration for the German army was endless.

Chen Zikun nodded thoughtfully.

He thought of the word Jian Bing wrote to him: "Why don't a man bring Wu Gou and collect the fifty states of Guanshan?" Born in a chaotic world, perhaps joining the army is his best way out.

Unfortunately, he was just an idle adjutant, and he didn't even have a serviceman under his command. He had nowhere to display his knowledge and ambitions. He asked Tan Haoming several times to go to the army to be the platoon leader, but he always gave him a few words perfunctory.

After a long time, Chen Zikun finally realized that in Tan Haoming's eyes, he was just a senior bodyguard with accurate marksmanship and high martial arts skills. As for leading troops to fight, it is more reliable to leave it to the officers from the martial arts lecture hall.

This incident made Chen Zikun very depressed for a while. In the eyes of others, am I just a simple-minded and well-developed warrior?

...

That morning, Chen Zikun took advantage of Tan Haoming's absence and found an excuse to slip out and went to Baozhilin, Ren'an Street to visit Huang Feihong, who had taught his martial arts. Unfortunately, Master Huang's second son Huang Hansen was killed in Wuzhou, Guangxi. He went to handle the funeral and failed to find a side.

He returned to Tan's mansion in great depression. Just as he was about to go upstairs, Xiao Cui, the fifth concubine's personal maid, came over and said, "Adminton Chen, the fifth concubine has something to come to you."

The fifth concubine was born in a brothel, 27 or 28 years old, very charming and charming. Chen Zikun was not suspected of being a fraud. He went upstairs to knock on the door. The door was not closed and opened as soon as he pushed it. There was a large wooden basin in the room. The fifth concubine was taking a bath in the basin. As soon as Chen Zikun saw the white flowers, he shouted in his heart, "No!"

Sure enough, when the fifth concubine saw him coming in, she immediately screamed: "Help!"

Chen Zikun retreated quickly, but there was no time. A staircase rang out. Huang Yongfu rushed out from the downstairs, holding a pistol with a wide open head in his hand, shouting: "Catch the thief!" His eyes were clearly shining with excitement.

Mom was so slap, she fell into a trap! Chen Zikun's mind buzzed, why didn't he expect that Huang Yongfu and the fifth concubine could join forces to frame him.

This move is so vicious that no matter how much Tan Haoming admires him, he can't tolerate a pericy adjutant. At the very least, he will lose trust, and at the worst, he will lose his life.

Damn, do it! Chen Zikun was angry and became evil from his heart and bravely. He kicked Huang Yongfu's gun away with one kick, grabbed his collar and swung it into the house, and was smashing it into the wooden basin. With a thunderous sound, the fifth concubine's sharp voice was like a long-tail comet across the night sky: "Help!"

This time it really smelled miserable.

The Tan family was alarmed, and the concubines, maids, old women, guards and horses rushed in. They only saw the fifth concubine's room was wet. A half-naked adjutant Huang was already unconscious on the ground, while the fifth concubine covered her vital parts and hid in the wooden basin in a trembling manner.

"Catch the thief and stolen goods, and catch the evildoer. The fifth concubine and Adjutant Huang actually did something to be sorry to Governor Tan. Fortunately, I caught him. Please give me a testimony!" Chen Zikun said majestic and righteously with a pistol.

"You swear by blood. It's clear that you were lying outside the door and peeking at me taking a shower. When Adjutant Huang found out, he turned around and beat him up." Seeing that everyone was present, the fifth concubine suddenly felt fearless and started talking nonsense.

Chen Zikun sneered: "If you don't know, unless you don't do it yourself, the fifth concubine, Xiao Cui told me all the good things you did, otherwise you would think I could see through your plan, right, Xiao Cui?"

As he said that, he turned to Xiao Cui in the corner and smiled.

The fifth concubine suddenly turned pale and cursed at Xiao Cui: "You little bitch!"

This move was indeed insidious. Xiao Cui panicked and said incoherently: "I, I, I don't know anything."

The eldest lady had always been dissatisfied with the fifth concubine, and at this time she took advantage of the problem. She said coldly: "I knew you were not kind to you, so it would be fine if you stole a man, but you actually came to your house. Someone came, tied me up, and wait for the master to come back and leave."

He said to Chen Zikun again: "Adminton Chen, I feel wronged you."

Chen Zikun put down his gun and looked open-minded. The guards stepped forward and tied him up and took him downstairs to take care of him.

The unconscious Adjutant Huang was also dragged down.

The concubines witnessed a good show with their own eyes, and were extremely excited and chattering. The concubines were kind on the surface, but they secretly jealous and stumbling about it. The fifth concubine was always ambition and young, and everyone jealous of her for a long time. She won’t take this opportunity and get hurt even if she doesn’t take any serious damage.

Listening to the sarcastic ridicule, the fifth concubine's face turned pale and white. She felt regretful in her heart. It was not that she regretted framing Chen Zikun, but that she regretted that this matter was unreliable. She never expected that Chen Zikun was so cruel and solved an unsolvable death situation.

When the master comes back, Thunder will definitely be furious. All the things that he finally got will be wiped out. When the fifth concubine thought of that scene, she couldn't help but shudder. If she wants to survive, she must be cruel!

She shouted, "Master, Xiao Wu is wronged!" She jumped out of the wooden basin, rushed to the dressing table, grabbed a pair of scissors and cut her wrists hard, took out a gold ring and stuffed it into her mouth. Everyone was so panicked that they rushed up and snatched it, but the gold ring had already been absent, and the wound on her wrist was deep enough, and blood was poured out.

After a turmoil, the fifth concubine was sent to the hospital to put on sesame oil and bandaged her wounds. Tan Haoming also rushed back urgently. This old general, who was nearly 60 years old, was born in the Green Forest, was a hero and righteous, and was a straightforward person. This kind of personality is very good at ease in the ranks, but he was not careful enough in handling the affairs of the house.

He rushed to the hospital to see his favorite concubine, the fifth concubine. The fifth concubine was originally singing Cantonese opera, but later she lost her voice and entered the fireworks world to develop. Among Tan Haoming's concubines, her acting skills are the best. When she saw the master coming, she didn't speak, but just burst into tears, looking very sad.

Tan Haoming rubbed his hands anxiously: "Xiao Wu, what's going on?"

The fifth concubine only shook her head: "Master, let me die. Only death can prove my innocence."

Tan Haoming was furious and asked the others, and the servants came to see what they saw. Tan Haoming was also confused. On one hand, he was the beloved general who had been working hard for many years, and on the other hand, the adjutant and his beloved concubine who had been following him for many years. Which one should we believe?

It is difficult for honest officials to settle family affairs, and such cases without beginning and end are even more difficult to settle. Besides, family scandals cannot be worn out and cannot be found to be tried by others. After thinking about it, Tan Haoming decided to interrogate Huang Yongfu.

Adjutant Huang was taken over and knelt down with a plop: "Supervisor, the youngest is wronged, the youngest is framed by the Chen surname."

"Tell me, where are you wronged?"

"A few days ago, I discovered that a man named Chen was robbing a civilian girl by the Pearl River. I scolded him for not slandering the governor, so he held a grudge. Today, he took advantage of the governor's absence from the mansion and actually peeked at the fifth concubine taking a bath. After I stopped drinking, he not only refused to plead guilty, but also knocked me out and threw me into the fifth concubine's room to frame me."

Tan Haoming frowned and said, "Do you have evidence?"

Huang Yongfu said: "There is no evidence, but the young man has been in the mansion for many years and has been working diligently. There have never been any rumors. When the man surnamed Chen comes, there are many more troubles in the mansion. This person is clearly a disaster."

Although this statement was unreasonable, it caused a wave in Tan Haoming's heart. Chen Zikun was tall and tall, handsome, while Huang Yongfu was short and vulgar. Even if the fifth concubine wanted to find someone to commit adultery, she would choose Chen Zikun instead of Huang Yongfu.

Once there is a gap in people's heart, it will be difficult to make up for it. Huang Yongfu followed Tan Haoming for many years and grabbed the changes in his expression on his face very carefully. Seeing that he was hesitating, he made a few more slanderous words: "I heard that Chen's surname has made friends with many lower-level officers, and often went to and from the military camps to supervise the army. I suspect that he had a bad plan."

Tan Haoming's brows became deeper.

At this time, the housekeeper came to report again that Xiao Cui, the fifth concubine's maid, had committed suicide by hanging herself.

Huang Yongfu was delighted. Once Xiao Cui died, no one knew the secret between him and the fifth concubine, but his face showed grief and anger: "It's all because of Chen's surname."

Xiao Cui's death made Tan Haoming unable to sit still. He slapped the table and stood up: "Accuse Chen Zikun."

Chen Zikun was brought in, and he said calmly: "I am unfair to the position of humbleness, and the military commander will be clearly aware of it."

Tan Haoming said with a gloomy face: "Everyone says he is wronged, who should I believe?"

Huang Yongfu kowtowed like pounding garlic, the floor clanging, and his face was covered in blood in a short while, but Chen Zikun didn't say a word. Tan Haoming looked at them with a tiger's face, suddenly stretched out a finger, pointed between the two, and finally aimed at Chen Zikun.

"Get it down for me."

Two guards rushed in and were about to take action, but Chen Zikun elbowed to the knee and fell to the ground. In the blink of an eye, two pistols were added to his hands.

Tan Haoming was shocked: "You will not rebel!"

Chen Zikun took off the pistol magazine and threw it out the window, knelt on one knee and said, "Governor, Chen Zikun thanks for your kindness for your kindness. The pure ones will be clear. I don't want to say more. We will have a date in the future."

After saying that, he lost his gun and jumped down from the second floor window.

A large number of guards heard the movement and rushed in. Huang Yongfu shouted: "Chasing the assassin!"

But Tan Haoming raised one hand: "Let him go."

Chen Zikun hurriedly fled Guangzhou and looked back at the city walls in the sunset. He sighed with relief and finally left the governor's mansion full of mahjong sounds, opium smell, and intrigue between men and women. He felt relaxed after leaving the Guangxi Army.

Where to go next, he felt worried. Beijing could not go, Shanghai had no shame to return, but the world was so big, but there was no place for him to live in.

After thinking about it, I finally thought of a place to go, Wu Peifu, the Third Division of the Beiyang Army stationed in Hengyang, Hunan!
