mage in the late qing dynasty

Chapter 219 I, Lucian, didn't break enough arms
There are many people pulling rickshaws for a reason.

This is similar to delivering food, hard work is hard work, but the money can be enough to support the family.Others think they are stupid, but they earn more than ordinary workers, and maybe they also despise the meager salary of wage earners in their hearts.

But to cheat people, Zhao Chuanxin quit.

In the past, when passengers were slaughtered, the passengers would just argue with the driver and make a fuss for a long time, and the matter would be over.When encountering difficult situations, the big deal is to give up one step and get back some less money. In the end, he still earns more.

But today he ran into Zhao Chuanxin.

It is unreasonable to count the mileage step by step.

Never heard of it?
"Send it back? You can think about it, the distance is not short, maybe the price will be doubled."

The coachman was not afraid either, and said with a half-smile.

"It's okay. If I do the calculations and the numbers match, I'll give you a penny more or less. If they don't match, you'll have to use the 2 yuan and 4 cents for medical expenses."

Of course the numbers didn't match, so the coachman didn't plan to run back.

That tanned, wrinkled face showed a seemingly simple and honest smile: "How about we go to the police station and let the police judge?"

Anyone with a bit of status would certainly disdain to do so.

For that little money, it's not embarrassing enough.

But who is Zhao Chuanxin, who has grown up so big, and has never been embarrassed.

"Hehe, come on, take this soapstone, go to the corner over there, write your name, and draw an arrow."

The driver was taken aback, what do you mean?
But as long as the money is earned, everything else is easy to talk about.

So he took the whitish talc, went to the corner of the wall, wrote his name crookedly, drew an arrow, and handed the talc to Zhao Chuanxin when he came back: "Your stone."

Zhao Chuanxin spread out on the seat: "Okay, let's go, go to the Patrol Bureau. What you drew just now is a mark, so you can hardly deny it. It just so happens that Yang Yide, the head of the Visiting Bureau, and Zhang Zhankui, the deputy head of the Bureau, are both my friends. Let them judge."

Yang Yide has a high position and authority, and there may be some lower-level people who have never heard of it.

But Zhang Zhankui was different. He started from a young age and came from a reckless background. He became famous in the wells of Tianjin City when he was still a young horse, and the coachman had naturally heard of him.

There was a trace of suspicion on his face: "Do you recognize Mr. Zhang?"

"Let's go, don't you know when you go?"

"This..." Seeing that Zhao Chuanxin's expression did not seem to be fake, the coachman was scared, and the people did not fight with the officials. "The little ones have eyes but don't know Taishan. If you take the liberty, just 1 yuan will do."

"Really 1 yuan?"

"It's really 1 yuan!"

Zhao Chuanxin got up and threw two ocean dollars over.

The coachman was taken aback for a moment: "Ah, this..."

Why did you give me an extra dollar?

"Originally, I would also like to give you some tips. I don't want to see others working hard to pull the cart. But you fucking want to kill customers, so can I spoil you? Don't do such immoral things in the future, or your legs will be beaten sooner or later. break!"

The coachman was ashamed.

"My lord, you are benevolent. I will definitely not do this in the future."

Before leaving, Zhao Chuanxin added: "You can do this to foreigners!"

The coachman laughed dryly and nodded hastily.

But I thought in my heart: the foreign adults give tips, you can't offend them.

Fortunately, I didn't say it out, otherwise I would have to be beaten by Zhao Chuanxin, and I would have to ask for the tip back!
There are two kinds of people I hate the most in my life: one is a big power, and the other is a Chinese who kneels and licks foreigners.

Walking into the Model Prison, the gate guard shouted, "Stop, what are you here for?"

"Find someone!"

"Who are you looking for?"

"Zhang Rong!"

If it is another prisoner, the prison guard may not recognize it, because there are too many prisoners.

But when they heard Zhang Rong's name, it was the ruthless man who assassinated the five ministers, and the case was tried by Governor Yuan himself, the prison guards were very impressed.

He looked Zhao Chuanxin up and down: "Is it Zhang Rong's relative again? It was his sister and brother before, who are you this time? No matter who it is, you can't visit the prison today!"

Seeing the prison guard uttering merciless words with a calm expression, Zhao Chuanxin knew what he wanted.

A piece of the ocean flew across.

The prison guard took it in a hurry, with a smile on his calm face: "Okay, let's go in."

When Zhao Chuanxin entered the prison compound, the doorman winked at his companion: "Go and inform the warden."

A key criminal like Zhang Rong, who assassinated the imperial court official, could also visit the prison, but his every move was treated with special care.

In particular, the warden Wang Zhang personally ordered that anyone who visited Zhang Rong must notify him.

Zhao Chuanxin was still registering at the gate, and the warden Wang Zhang brought people here in a hurry.

He leaned over to look, and saw the registration column read: People from western Liaoning, Lu Xian.

Huh?Who is this, I have no impression at all!

As for the people who came to pay attention to Zhang Rong, he basically knew them all.In addition to the imperial court, Zhang Rong's sister and brother, there is also Yang Yide, the head of the Visiting Bureau.

Especially Yang Yide, who asked him to take care of Zhang Rong.If anything happens, let him know as soon as possible.

I don't know how Zhang Rong cleared Yang Yide's line.

That's an eye for money.

When Zhao Chuanxin finished registering, he looked up and saw a man standing beside him. Judging by his uniform and appearance, he should be the head of the prison.

"Is something wrong?"

"Nothing, you go in."

Wang Zhang waved his hand.

After Zhao Chuanxin entered, he said to his opponent: "Go quickly, send a telegram to Director Yang of the Visitation Bureau, telling him that a person named Lu Xi'an is here to visit Zhang Rong."

The subordinates left in a hurry.

Yang Yide frowned when he received the telegram.

Who is this Lu Xian, and what does he have to do with Zhao Chuanxin?
Because Zhao Chuanxin asked him to take care of Zhang Rong a year ago, and Lu Xi'an came a year later, the two should be related.

But before he could take any action, he listened to the official report: "General Office, Minister Zai Zhen from the Ministry of Agriculture and Industry has come and said he wants to see you."

What did Aixinjueluo Zaizhen come to him for?
Shouldn't you go to Governor Yuan if you have something to do?
So he listened to the officer and continued: "Governor Yuan is also here!"

Yang Yide hurriedly put on his clothes and yelled: "Damn it, can you fucking finish your sentence?"

The officer laughed.

Gasp it was indeed his fault.

Putting on a friendly smile, Yang Yide hurried out to greet him.

As soon as they met each other, Yuan Datou didn't talk nonsense, and he opened his mouth and said: "Jing Lin, go quickly, and send someone to investigate a man named Lu Xi'an. This man despised the court and framed Zhongliang. He is a crime of death! This man has just left the train station. , if it is not bad, it should have gone to a place like Chedian Hotel to rest."

Hearing the word "Lu Xian", Yang Yide's heart skipped a beat.

Looking at Governor Yuan and Aixinjueluo Zaizhen, who had a bad face, Yang Yide knew that Lu Xi'an must have offended the prince's son.

His father is a celebrity in front of Cixi!
But he didn't say what was in his heart, but asked instead: "Governor, do you know what Lucian looks like?"

Yuan Datou turned his head to look at Aixinjueluo Zaizhen.

Aixinjueluo Zaizhen snorted softly: "This man is tall, about five feet two inches to five feet three inches. He has no haircut, his hair reaches his neck, and he wears Western-style clothes. His words and deeds are vulgar, and his body is loose ..."

The more Yang Yide listened to it, the more he felt something was wrong. When he was described by Aixinjueluo Zaizhenyi, someone appeared in his mind.

It's so recognizable.

But he remained calm.

Pretending to be ignorant, he patted his chest and swore a promise: "You will do your best to handle this case!"

Aixinjueluo Zaizhen's complexion improved a bit: "That's right, Jinglin still knows what's important, I'm sorry."

"Master Shangshu is serious, let's go when you are humble."

Knowing that Lu Xi'an must be Zhao Chuanxin, Yang Yide shouted loudly: "Gather people and go to all the car shops, restaurants and hotels in the southern and northern sections to investigate. I will bring a team of people and adapt accordingly. Once this person is caught, immediately Come report..."

The words were intended for Yuan Datou and Aixinjueluo Zaizhen.

Because the two thought that Zhao Chuanxin had lived in a hotel or something.

But Yang Yide knew that Zhao Chuanxin was in the Model Prison right now.

Therefore, he took people to secretly wait outside the model prison.

……

Zhao Chuanxin was led into the cell by the prison guards. In the dark prison, the prisoners on both sides of the cell saw someone coming and started to make noise.

"Little boy, come over here."

"Are you new here? Hey, he's quite tall."

"Talking about you, come here, the skin is very tender, I can touch it."

In a cell, a prisoner stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to touch Zhao Chuanxin.

Listening to their noise, buzzing like flies, especially those who don't open their eyes even stretch out their hands.

Before the prison guard could react, Zhao Chuanxin suddenly rushed over, grabbed the man's arm, and pressed hard on the iron grid of the cell.

He was very strong, and with his weight tilted, there was only a "click".

The prisoner's arm was turned [-] degrees at an incredible angle, and the bones bulged out the flesh.

"Drafting, come on, let me see how you want to touch me?"

He was wearing devil crystal glasses, and his skin was fair and tender. If he didn't speak, he would say that he was a gentleman.

But once you say something with a very high "mom content", the gentle person becomes a gentle scum.

Those drumming noises fell silent.

So cruel!

The prison guard turned pale in horror, seeing his arm clamped on the iron railing, turning and twisting and howling, but he was a prisoner who didn't dare to pull his arm back.

Looking at Zhao Chuanxin again, the prison guard suddenly pulled out his baton and pointed at Zhao Chuanxin tremblingly: "You, you, what do you want to do?"

Zhao Chuanxin didn't change his face, took out a handful of ocean and threw it on the ground: "Take it to heal his wounds, and the rest is yours. Don't talk nonsense, hurry up, I have tens of pennies every minute, I don't have time to accompany you Nonsense."

"..."

The two prison guards hurriedly squatted down to pick up the money.

How much does it cost to find a random doctor to connect the bones?
They made big money!
Zhao Chuanxinying stared at Gu Lang, turned his eyes, and roared: "Is there anyone who wants to heal his wounds, please name him, and I will help him!"

Although it is called a model prison, many of the prisoners here are vicious and serious criminals.

But when Zhao Chuanxin opened his mouth, no one dared to talk to him!

"A bunch of bastards who drafted it, if I were here, I would smash your bones to pieces! Ah... tui!"

After the prison guard picked up the money, although he still led the way, he stayed far away from Zhao Chuanxin.

It seems that if you get close, there is a danger of broken bones and tendons.

Not long after, they arrived outside Zhang Rong's cell.

Zhao Chuanxin looked inside and found that the cell was quite clean. There were only four people in this room, and there were even simple four treasures of study and a desk inside.

I don't know if Zhang Gui bought the prison guards with money, or if Zhao Chuanxin's greeting with Yang Yide before had an effect.

Zhang Rong was writing and drawing, when he saw someone coming outside, he looked up.

When he saw Zhao Chuanxin, he suddenly got up: "Zhao..."

Zhao Chuanxin coughed hard: "It is also an honor for you, Zhang Rong, to let me, the two-armed and fast-legged little black dragon Lu Xi'an, come to see you."

"Ah, yes, Mr. Lu, thank you for coming to see me."

Zhang Rong reacted immediately.

He knows Zhao Chuanxin, he has a lot of aliases and names, a little red outside the pass, Hunyuan Thunderbolt Hand, etc. Now there is a little black dragon with two guns and fast legs, which is also a basic operation, just don't six.

Zhao Chuanxin said to the prison guards on the left and right: "Leave first, I have something to say to him."

Prison guard: "This..."

"Huh?" Zhao Chuanxin put on a straight face. "Did you take less money, or did I, Lucian, not break enough arms?"

The prison guard shuddered: "There's a lot of money and enough arms. Let's go a little further. Just in time, I'm going to ask the doctor to connect the man's arm."

Seeing Zhao Chuanxin's prestige, Zhang Rong was also surprised.

This person seems to be out of shape, but he is majestic everywhere he goes, which is also a miracle!
When the prison guards were far away, Zhao Chuanxin approached the iron fence and whispered: "Your sister Zhang Gui, go to Lugang Town and ask me to save you."

Hearing this, Zhang Rong felt ashamed at first, because Zhang Gui broke his heart because of him.

What's more, he still owed Zhao Chuanxin a favor, and now he is always annoying someone to rescue him, and he feels very sorry.

Then a look of hope flashed across his face: "Mr. Zhao, is there a way?"

"When I came, I observed the prison, and it was tighter than I expected."

Zhang Rong was disappointed.

He expected this result.

Robbery and so on, that is to say in the scriptures, it is impossible in reality.

But I heard Zhao Chuanxin say again: "But it is easy to rescue you."

wipe……

Zhang Rong's heart went up and down, his blood pressure soared, and the veins on his forehead twitched.

Can you speak without panting?

"Mr. Zhao, don't entertain me. I'm not afraid of death, but dying in prison is too aggrieved. A man must die in a vigorous career!"

What a dumbass.

Zhao Chuanxin said with a smile: "Originally, I planned to rescue you tonight, but now it seems unlikely. Rescuing you is only the first step, and I have to find a way to send you out of Tianjin City. I need to prepare Some days, I just have to go to the Beiyang University Hall to give a speech to those lovely students. When it's over, I'll save you."

Originally, Zhao Chuanxin wanted to pretend to be a wave in front of Zhang Rong: Look, I'm going to give a speech at the university, isn't it amazing?

But at this moment, Zhang Rong's mind was filled with the ecstasy of escaping from birth, so how could he hear anything else?

He hurriedly asked: "Mr. Zhao, how should I cooperate with you?"

"Oh, it's time to eat and sleep. You will know when it's time to save you."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Chuanxin shouted to the prison guard not far away: "I'm done here, come here for a while."

The prison guard came running over, and Zhao Chuanxin pointed to Zhang Rong and said, "My friend, he wants to have a good meal and breathe the fresh air outside. I didn't bring enough money today, and I will wait a few days later." Come again, I will have to trouble you when the time comes. Hehe, you understand."

As he spoke, he made a gesture of counting money.

The prison guard was stunned, he was far behind Yang Yide's old fritters.

It took a moment to react, and the face was full of joy: "That's easy to say."

Another sum will be credited to the account. This man is very wealthy, and it will not be less.

In their view, there is no such thing as robbing prisoners.

So I didn't have any worries, but looked forward to Zhao Chuanxin's next arrival.

Blinking at Zhang Rong, Zhao Chuanxin walked out with his hands behind his back and steps that his relatives did not recognize.

Zhang Rong was left breathing heavily, his chest heaving up and down, so excited that he couldn't control himself.

If anyone dares to rob prisoners, it may be Zhao Chuanxin, an outlaw lunatic!
He believed what Zhao Chuanxin said!
Out of the cell door, the sun is dazzling.

Needless to say, Zhao Chuanxin really felt the light of day.

If you want to do something, you have to be willing to pay.

Looking at the prison guard who was slightly bowing behind him, Zhao Chuanxin threw another piece of ocean: "Excuse me, take this hard-earned money, and go drink tea casually."

"Thank you, sir."

The prison guards were happy.

How generous!

If such "customers" come to the door every day and look at the prisoners inside, it is no problem for them to make a fortune.

Walking out of the gate of the model prison, Zhao Chuanxin looked around and found that it was a bit too quiet.

He narrowed his eyes.

There is a rickshaw, empty car running from a distance.

Zhao Chuanxin took a look, isn't this the driver who wanted to kill customers before?

His face was pale, and even Zhao Chuanxin trembled when he saw his legs.

When the coachman approached, he stopped in front of Zhao Chuanxin and said, "Sir, someone asked me to tell you to meet at a teahouse three miles away. He said his surname is Yang, you understand."

The surname is Yang, you know.

Zhao Chuanxin immediately knew who this person was.

"Okay." Zhao Chuanxin got into the car. "Let's go, don't be afraid, as if nothing happened."

The coachman tried to stay calm.

The patrol police in the whole city mobilized to search and arrest, and the subordinates led by the man who had just asked him to work were even more fully armed.

The coachman was frightened.

When he arrived at the teahouse, Zhao Chuanxin had two more horse cards in his hand.

When getting out of the car, the driver naturally saw the gun in his hand, and he was even more trembling like walking on thin ice.

Zhao Chuanxin gave him two oceans: "Let's go."

The coachman ran away in a hurry.

Tidy up the crisp black flannel long coat!
I looked up.

The fog above Tianjin City is the cigar smoke he spit out by Zhao Chuanxin.

As for the left and right, no ambush was seen.

He strolled into the tea house.

The teahouse was empty, there were no customers, only one person——Yang Yide.

Seeing Zhao Chuanxin holding two guns, Yang Yide didn't mind, and greeted him with a smile.

Before he could open his mouth, he saw Zhao Chuanxin turn the muzzles of the two guns downwards, hold the handle with his thumbs and the muzzle of the tiger, and press the trigger with his four fingers, click...

Yang Yide's eyelids twitched as he completed the loading action with both hands and one hand at the same time.

What a big hand!

What a skillful technique!

Zhao Chuanxin's reputation as a sharpshooter is indeed well-deserved!
He said with a dry smile, "There's no need for that, brother Zhao. I've already sent my men to patrol nearby."

"Haha, just in case."

Zhao Chuanxin smiled skinny.

"Brother Zhao has offended Aixinjueluo Zaizhen again this time. This man is not easy to mess with. There is no other meaning, my brother just came to remind you that the minister found Governor Yuan, and Governor Yuan came to me personally Come and arrest Lu Xi'an. Lu Xi'an, I think it's brother Zhao."

Zhao Chuanxin reported the name of Lu Xi'an, but Yang Yide immediately thought of him.

It can be seen that this person is smart, but he doesn't use it on the righteous way.
