Early in the morning, screams, curses and pleadings came from the Young Marshal's Mansion.
The servants stopped what they were doing and looked up to the second floor of the main house. When the guards heard the noise, they spontaneously rushed into the living room and confronted several of Zhang Xueliang's lieutenants.
The captain of the guard, Jin Zhiming, pointed at the adjutant's nose and asked, "Xu Shou, do you want to rebel? Get out of the way!"
Xu Shou heard the screams upstairs and looked at the tense guard captain, with a look of hesitation on his face. He finally shook his head and said: "The Sixth Commander has an order. Even if he calls for help, he cannot be released. This heavy smoke must
Quit!"
"Fart!" Jin Zhiming drew his gun and shouted, "If you don't let go, I will kill you!"
Gu Ruiyu also came down from upstairs, and said to Xu Shou with tears in her eyes: "Adjutant Xu, I can't hold it anymore. You can slowly get rid of your opium addiction. Just give him a little today and reduce the dosage every day."
Xu Shou was extremely entangled in his heart, but finally nodded and said: "Then... okay, just give me a little."
Then everyone rushed upstairs collectively. Gu Ruiyu even took the smoking utensils and opened the door to give Zhang Xueliang a big cigarette to save his life.
"stop!"
Zhou Hexuan didn't know when he went upstairs and shouted: "Do you want the Sixth Commander to be a heavy smoker for the rest of his life? What are your intentions!"
Gu Ruiyu and Xu Shou were both stunned, standing hesitantly at the door of the study.
Jin Zhiming rushed over, grabbed Zhou Hexuan's collar, and said with a ferocious expression: "Who do you think you are, Zhou Hexuan? I think you are the one who wants to kill the Sixth Commander!"
Gu Ruiyu quickly advised: "Captain Jin, let go of Mr. Zhou quickly."
Zhou Hexuan's face was as calm as water, and he looked at Jin Zhiming without saying a word.
"snort!"
Jin Zhiming snorted coldly, he was defeated in his eyes, and he let go of Zhou Hexuan angrily.
Zhou Hexuan then ordered: "Open the door!"
Xu Shou subconsciously obeyed the order and quickly opened the study door.
Zhang Xueliang was tied to a carved rosewood chair, and he struggled to move the heavy chair half a foot. The clothes on his body had been torn by the rope, and many blood beads oozed from his skin due to friction.
These skin injuries were nothing, but what was horrifying was Zhang Xueliang's condition. His eyes were red like a wild beast that preys on people, his nose was crisscrossed with tears, and he even kept drooling from the corners of his mouth.
Seeing everyone entering the room, Zhang Xueliang's eyes gleamed and said: "Opium, give me opium! I want to die... Uh-huh!"
But Zhou Hexuan walked over, pinched Zhang Xueliang's cheek, and stuffed a ball of rags into his mouth. The young marshal was speechless.
"Zhou, you are crazy!" Jin Zhiming was furious because Zhou Hexuan's behavior just now was too offensive.
Zhou Hexuanli didn't bother to pay attention to him, but blamed Gu Ruiyu and Xu Shou: "How did you do things? If you don't block your mouth, the Sixth Commander will probably bite his tongue and commit suicide!"
Well, Zhou Hexuan was brave enough to dare to scold Zhang Xueliang's concubine and adjutant the day after he came to the house.
This also depends on the person. As for Chu Yupu, Zhou Hexuan would never dare to play like this. But Zhang Xueliang is an exception. This man is too soft-hearted.
Last year, when Guo Songling rebelled, Zhang Xueliang first wrote a letter to dissuade him, but when that didn't work, he started to put in good words in the hope of reconciliation. In the end, until Guo Songling was defeated and arrested, Zhang Xueliang was still interceding on his behalf, hoping to send Guo Songling to study abroad and seek refuge.
Zhang Xueliang is so kind to traitors, let alone his own people. The more upright and selfless Zhou Hexuan is, the easier it is to gain trust.
When Gu Ruiyu faced Zhou Hexuan's contradictory questioning, instead of getting angry, she blamed herself: "I didn't think well. Thank you very much, Mr. Zhou."
Although Zhang Xueliang was speechless, he was still struggling wildly, with a look of pleading in his eyes. Suddenly, he overturned his chair and fell to the ground. His head kept hitting the floor, obviously in pain.
Want to commit suicide.
"Six handsome men!"
Everyone exclaimed in unison.
They seemed to regard Zhou Hexuan as their backbone, and they all looked towards him, waiting for Zhou Hexuan to issue orders.
It is normal for this kind of situation to happen, because none of them dare to be disrespectful to Zhang Xueliang. Only Zhou Hexuan does not have such scruples.
Zhou Hexuan sat down on the sofa and said to Jin Zhiming and Xu Shou: "Put the chair up and don't worry about anything. Next time, don't use hemp rope to tie someone up. It can easily abrade the skin. Use a thicker cotton rope."
Better results."
Gu Ruiyu took note of it and immediately went out to ask the servants to find cotton ropes. Xu Shou and Jin Zhiming raised the chairs, holding the backrests one on the left and the other on the right, leaving Zhang Xueliang struggling there.
After a full hour of tossing, Zhang Xueliang finally calmed down, and Zhou Hexuan let people loosen their bonds.
Zhang Xueliang was already exhausted. He lay down on the chair and gave him a grateful look, then closed his eyes and fell asleep.
Jin Zhiming and Xu Shou nodded respectfully to Zhou Hexuan, and then helped Zhang Xueliang to the bedroom.
After the young marshal was settled, Jin Zhiming murmured in a low voice: "Old Xu, this Mr. Zhou is very courageous."
Xu Shou said: "Mr. Zhou also wanted to help the Sixth Commander quit smoking."
Jin Zhiming rolled his eyes and said, "I mean the ball of rags he stuffed into Sixth Commander's mouth."
"What happened to that ball of cloth?" Xu Shou asked puzzled.
"That's the fucking tablecloth that the servants used to clean the table!" Jin Zhiming left after saying that, and couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth a few times.
"Ah?" Xu Shou was stunned.
It wasn't until after ten o'clock in the morning that Gu Ruiyu came to see Zhou Hexuan: "Mr. Zhou, please come up."
Zhou Hexuan then took two planning documents, followed Gu Ruiyu to the bedroom, and said to Zhang Xueliang who was lying on the bed: "Is the Sixth Commander okay?"
Zhang Xueliang is very particular about how he is called. Zhang Zuolin calls him "Xiao Liu Zi", outsiders call him "Young Marshal", his concubine calls him "Little Master", family friends and elders call him "Han Qing", and those with whom he has good relations are respectfully called "Han Shuai".
", only close subordinates and people around you can call you "Sixth Commander" or "Sixth Master".
Zhou Hexuan is now considered one of his own family members, so naturally he should be called "Six Handsome" to appear close to him.
Zhang Xueliang sat on the edge of the bed and said with a wry smile: "It feels like I have died once. Thanks to He Xuan, no one else would dare to be arrogant to me. I can only rely on you to quit smoking in the future."
"If it were anyone else, I wouldn't dare to be so presumptuous," Zhou Hexuan smiled and flattered him, handed over the planning book in his hand and said, "Sixth Commander, please read it. I wrote this all night last night."
Zhang Xueliang felt dizzy looking at the cursive simplified Chinese characters, but he still recognized it, and immediately started reading it carefully.
There are two planning documents, one is to re-establish "Ta Kung Pao" and the other is to prepare for the establishment of the "China Hope Education Foundation".
It has been three and a half months since he traveled to the Republic of China, and Zhou Hexuan was finally able to do something practical.
