While Li Zhen was preparing for the newspaper business, he was also preparing for August 12th. Since Ye Chengzhong passed Li Zhen's opinions to Fang Su, the two parties have never been in contact again.
Even if Fang Su is really impatient, Li Zhen cannot advance the time of action. Only on the day when Fang Su and Wang Rui get married, the number of people gathered in the governor's Yamen will reach its peak, and that will be a good time to take action.
Li Zhen is so busy every day that time flies by.
In a blink of an eye, it is already August 12th.
In the early morning of this day, the golden sun hung in the sky, but you could already feel the heat coming to your face. On this day, the troops stationed in the city were ready to move, and they had gathered early and were ready to go; Dressed neatly, he went to the Governor's Yamen, full of ambition. On this day, the Governor's Yamen was bustling with excitement and joy.
August 12th is destined to be an unforgettable day.
Early in the morning, Li Zhen returned to his room after breakfast, stood in front of the bronze mirror, shaved off the stubble on his lips and chin, shaved off the short hair on his forehead, and then put on neat clothes military uniform.
In the mirror, a handsome young man appeared, handsome, mighty and full of momentum. Li Zhen was also very satisfied with this face. Today, he wanted to use his best appearance to win over Chen Qiankun.
"Bang, bang,."
Outside the bedroom, there was a rapid knock on the door.
Immediately, Ye Chengzhong's voice sounded: "Sir, it's bad, something big has happened."
Li Zhen's heart skipped a beat, and his expression suddenly changed. Did Chen Qiankun and others notice it? Li Zhen turned around with concern, strode to the door, opened the door, and asked: "Xiaoye, what happened?" , did Chen Qiankun find out that we are going to send troops to surround the governor's Yamen."
Ye Chengzhong shook his head and said: "The governor's office is fine, it's not Chen Qiankun's business."
"call,."
Li Zhen then breathed a long sigh of relief, relaxed, and said casually: "As long as it's not Chen Qiankun's case, other things don't matter. Tell me what happened."
Ye Chengzhong looked worried and said seriously: "Just now, a group of soldiers from the Governor's Office came outside the gate of the Admiral's Mansion. These officers said that you broke the law and asked you to go to the Governor's Office. These soldiers had Ye Mingchen's order. , if you disobey the order, they will forcefully break into the Admiral's Mansion."
"Ye Mingchen's people."
After hearing this, Li Zhen was so angry that he gritted his teeth.
At the critical moment, Ye Mingchen turned out to be a troublemaker, which was simply disgusting. Li Zhen looked indifferent and ordered: "You don't need to pay attention to the people in the Governor's Yamen. It's important to arrest Chen Qiankun. Now, order Huang Shihai to mobilize the soldiers and wait." When people from the Tiandihui gather at the governor's Yamen, they can send out troops to surround the governor's Yamen."
Ye Cheng said helplessly: "Sir, you can't ignore it. If you don't deal with it, the soldiers from the Governor's Yamen will rush into the Admiral's Mansion. If you ask people to suppress Ye Mingchen's people, it is very likely that Chen Qiankun, the governor's Yamen, will be killed. In addition, Ye Mingchen is so angry that he mobilizes soldiers from the Governor's Yamen to come to the Admiral's Mansion to arrest you, which will definitely affect the arrest of Chen Qiankun. I think we should send someone to the Governor's Yamen to inform Ye Mingchen and say that you will go back tomorrow. Please be accommodating to Ye Mingchen. two."
Li Zhen stamped his feet and said: "Ye Mingchen is a bastard."
After cursing, Li Zhen waved his hand and said: "That's all, I'll personally go to the governor's office to see what trouble Ye Mingchen has done. Xiaoye, you have someone tell Huang Shihai that Chen Qiankun and others must be caught before they can be seen. If you want to see the corpse, if the people from the Tiandihui are too powerful, they will be killed on the spot without letting anyone escape."
"yes."
Ye Chengzhong nodded in agreement, but did not leave immediately.
Li Zhen asked: "Why don't you leave yet."
Ye Chengzhong said: "Sir, Ye Mingchen must have some agenda when he comes to you. For the sake of safety, I think you should put on the yellow mantle awarded by the emperor, wear the Shangfang sword awarded by the emperor, and then bring a team of guards. safe."
Li Zhen nodded and said: "I understand, go down."
Ye Chengzhong turned around and left, sending someone to notify Huang Shihai.
Because he was going to see Qishan, Li Zhen's military uniform was obviously inappropriate, so he changed into the official uniform belonging to the admiral, put on his official hat and court beads. At the same time, Li Zhen put on the Shangfang Sword that Xianfeng had given him, and then I was about to leave, but the yellow mandarin jacket was thrown into the pile of clothes. I don’t know where it went.
Li Zhen went to the Governor's Yamen. He took ten soldiers from the Sharp Saber Battalion with him and a platoon of soldiers to accompany him. He left the Admiral's Mansion in a swagger and headed towards the Governor's Yamen.
…
Governor's Yamen, backyard.
Chen Qiankun's face was full of ambition and joy. He had already put on grand clothes and was neatly dressed. This was a great day for Fang Su and Wang Rui to get married. Naturally, he had to pay attention to it. The wedding time was close to noon. Now It's still early in the morning, it's still a long time, and we're still getting ready.
One after another, other members of the Tiandihui came to the governor's Yamen. One of them was to attend the wedding of Wang Rui and Fang Su, and the other was to hide in the governor's Yamen and wait for an opportunity to attack the senior citizen.
An elder of the Tiandihui hurriedly walked to Chen Qiankun and whispered: "Chief Rudder, Li Zhen left the Admiral's Mansion under the cover of soldiers and is already on the way to the Governor's Yamen."
Chen Qiankun laughed and said: "Since we have set off, there is no need to pay attention. Today is a happy day, so have a good time."
At this moment, Chen Qiankun fully expected Li Zhen to be arrested.
…
Governor's Yamen, outside the main gate.
Li Zhen led ten soldiers from the Jian Dao Battalion and a platoon of soldiers as guards and stopped outside the governor's office. Li Zhen led the soldiers and walked swaggering towards the gate of the governor's office, but was stopped by the soldiers guarding the gate.
The soldier guarding the door received the order and knew that he could not let Li Zhen's soldiers enter. He shouted with a straight face: "The Governor has an order, please go alone. You are the one who is guilty, not the Admiral of Guangzhou."
When Li Zhen heard this, he immediately laughed.
The methods Ye Mingchen came up with are really good.
Is it possible without soldiers?
Li Zhen stared coldly at the soldier guarding the door. With a wave of his hand, a soldier from the Sharp Saber Battalion standing next to him raised his gun and aimed at the soldier guarding the door. He shouted in a deep voice: "What is the status of the commander? How can you do it?" Those who scolded me, don’t say that the commander-in-chief is not guilty, even if the commander-in-chief is guilty, get out of here and don’t show off your power in front of the commander-in-chief.”
When Li Zhen heard this, he immediately became happy.
The soldier guarding the gate said sternly, "Li Zhen, you are leading troops to besiege the Governor's Yamen, are you planning to rebel?"
Li Zhen saw that the soldier guarding the door was still a dead pig and was not afraid of boiling water. He raised his right hand with a smile and held up three fingers. He ordered the soldier from the Jiandao Battalion beside him: "I'll count to three. If he still blocks the road, you just shoot." One…two…”
When Li Zhengang counted to the second number, the soldiers guarding the door retreated.
The soldier stepped aside and looked at Li Zhen in horror. His heart was still beating. He secretly said in his heart: "This Admiral of Guangzhou is a bandit. He is too arrogant. It may not be easy for the Governor to deal with Li Zhen." ."
"Let's go in with me."
Without the obstruction of the gatekeepers, Li Zhen lifted his official robe and walked into the gate of the Governor's Yamen. Ten soldiers from the Sharp Blade Battalion were arranged in front, back, left, and right of Li Zhen, protecting Li Zhen. , a platoon of soldiers followed Li Zhen and rushed in with great momentum.
