mage in the late qing dynasty

Chapter 55

Along the way, seeing the dilapidated houses and the withered people, Zhao Chuanxin felt a little depressed.

People on this land still have a long way to go.

Not only did he suffer a lot at this time, but even in later generations, he would suffer a lot of slander.

Those slanders, as if the suffering is what they asked for.Originally a good heavy industry base, it gradually became a backward area where light industry like We Media can't even be considered.

Not only did he not get sympathy from his compatriots, but instead received all kinds of cynicism.Zhao Chuanxin felt that these mocking people, those black people in the region, and their own fighting behavior were not much better than those of the Qing court.

Given the choice, who wouldn't want to live a life of prestige and material wealth?

They walked for five days in a row.

Just when Zhao Chuanxin wondered if he had misremembered the historical materials he had searched before, or because his little butterfly wings had wiped out some things, and the Niu family would not be robbed at all, finally...

bang bang bang...

Scattered people surrounded him, and the gangsters rushed over excitedly, wearing dog fur hats and mink coats.

The bodyguard hired by the Niu's convoy didn't have any foreign guns in their hands, they had four earthen guns, and the rest were either broadswords or red-tasseled guns.

Seeing those gangsters rushing towards them, they were stunned. The two groups fought, and some turned around and fled.

When Niu's convoy saw it, even the people from the Escort Bureau ran away, and those guys didn't insist anymore, and turned around and ran away.

A escort gunner who was escorting the car raised his gun and fired a shot when he was attacked by several shots at the same time.

He was hit in the left arm, staggered, and the gun in his hand fell to the ground.

Immediately, he was kicked and knocked to the ground by the scorpion who had come to him.

The gunner who fell to the ground stared round his eyes, gritted his teeth and asked, "Which team is it? Don't you know it's the Niu family's convoy?"

A man wearing a big fox fur and a tiger beard came out of the crowd, and laughed loudly and said, "Niu's convoy? Haha. It's your Niu's convoy that was robbed! Remember, my name is— — Lonely Goose!”

As soon as he heard the word Gu Yan, the gunner's body trembled, knowing that he had encountered a large group of locks.

Guyan looked at the gunner lying on the ground, waved his hands and said: "I won't kill you, I'll see if you can live up to your good fortune! Fourth, you bring twenty brothers here to ambush Chen Daguang's convoy. People take the goods back first."

……

in the afternoon.

Although Zhao Chuanxin felt strange, he did not relax his vigilance.

The people in the motorcade were singing that a man should be self-improvement, but he wore glasses and walked around.

The cooked rice in his arms is also listening carefully with his ears.

Suddenly, Ganfan's ears moved, and he called out to Zhao Chuanxin twice.

Zhao Chuanxin looked somewhere, with a smile on his lips.

He stretched his arms back, palms facing back.

Seeing Zhao Zhongyi, he immediately stretched his five fingers backwards and upwards.

Shuangxi and the others immediately dispersed and stopped the convoy.

Chen Daguang couldn't understand the tactical sign language of the Lugangling Insurance Team, so he could only look at Zhao Zhongyi suspiciously.

Zhao Zhongyi whispered: "There is a situation ahead, let everyone take cover."

Over there, the lock lying in ambush in the woods was puzzled.

No flaws were revealed, why did they stop?

"Could they have found out?"

"Impossible, our tracks are all covered up, they can't see them at such a distance."

"But I..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw the man at the front of the convoy raise his gun and shoot.He stopped abruptly in the middle of his speech, was shot in the head, and died immediately.

"We've been discovered, kill them!"

The fourth child was the first to charge, and had just walked out of the woods when a gunshot rang out, shaking his body even more.

He never expected that at such a long distance, someone could fire two shots in succession and hit both shots.

Before he died, the thought in his head was roughly like this: it is unscientific, usually this distance is lively, but there is no death or injury to each other...

Another person came out, bang, and fell to the ground.

Another person came out, bang, and fell to the ground.

And...Of course, no one came out, everyone chattered and ran away.

Zhao Chuanxin looked at it, turned his body sideways, and stretched out his five fingers together to make a hook.

Zhao Zhongyi saw it and shouted: "Go on!"

Che Daguang was surprised: "Is this the end?"

Zhao Chuanxin smiled: "What's the matter, are you still celebrating the New Year here?"

Chen Daguang called a young man: "Go and have a look."

The little guy had a sad face, terrified, and ran to the woods with great reluctance.

Just hearing him scream, everyone except the insurance team was startled.

Immediately, I saw the boy running back excitedly holding a foreign gun.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The boy came back out of breath: "Boss, four people died, Emma, ​​all of them were shot in the head. Look, there are foreign guns and earthen guns."

Seeing the gun in his hand, Shuangxi stepped forward immediately: "Bring it to you."

The foreign guns were snatched away, but those native guns were left alone.

Boy: "..."

Immediately, he looked in awe at Zhao Chuanxin who opened the way ahead.

Everyone is awe-inspiring!
It's so amazing, they didn't see anything, the man fired four shots at once, and all four shots hit the head.

What marksmanship?

On the contrary, they vaguely heard the cries and howls of those gangsters when they ran away.

That's it?

Just these two brushes, what kind of locks are they?

Going forward, they saw bloodstains on the ground, and footprints scattered in a mess, and, continuing to move forward, they saw the ruts that parted the road not far away.

Chen Daguang looked at it and said: "The Niu family's convoy is in a bad situation. I'm afraid we have encountered this group of gangsters. These gangsters still want to rob us, and they don't want it to end before it starts."

Everyone: "..."

Zhao Chuanxin did not disagree, but took off his hat, looked up at the bright sun hanging high, and sang loudly: "The sea laughs, the tides on both sides of the bank, the ups and downs follow the waves and only remember the present! The sky laughs, and there are people in the world Tide, whoever loses and who wins, God knows..."

The members of the insurance team learned a lot of new words from Zhao Chuanxin.

Hearing the singing, looking at Zhao Chuanxin who was dangling on the horse, he said to the woman sitting behind: "In terms of pretending to be aggressive, I only obey Chuanxin..."

……

But Gu Yan said that he brought the goods and did not return to his old lair.

The old nest is far away, and if you want to sell the stolen goods, you have to transport them out again, which is quite troublesome.

Simply, it was shipped directly to the gangster Yang Yushu.

No one dares to mess with Yang Yushu on this three-acre land.

A group of gangsters may not be scary, but gangsters on several hilltops all listen to him, which is scary.

However, this legendary boss did not live on the mountain, but built a magnificent house in the best location in Yitong City.

He himself is wearing a long gown of a scholar all day long, and under his feet are thick-soled lady's shoes that only rich people wear.

It has to be said that this realm is one level higher than those with bearded hair.

Gu Yan said to him: "Damn man, if you look at these goods, put them here first. After the stolen goods are sold, I must show filial piety to you."

Yang Yushu wrote it in two sleeves: "It's easy to say, just go about your business, with me here, the goods can't be lost."

Just as he was speaking, suddenly a subordinate came in a hurry.

This subordinate is the person he sent to rob Chen Daguang's convoy with the fourth brother.

He could only hear his subordinates crying and saying: "The head of the family, it's not good, it's not good, the fourth master was beaten to death..."

Immediately, he choked up and said the matter again.

Gu Yan gasped: "Only one person shot and killed four people in a row?"

"Yes, we didn't have time to fire the guns, and we would die if we got ahead, so we ran away. Poor fourth master, we didn't have time to collect his body!"

Yang Yushu narrowed his eyes: "What's going on?"

Gu Yan said bitterly: "God's steward Niu, he tricked me!"

This matter was notified by steward Niu, and of course his relationship was indispensable.

Yang Yushu pondered for a while: "I have heard a little about this matter. I heard that Chen Daguang, the gunner he was looking for was the insurance team of Lugangling Village. Shot? Fortunately, only four people were lost, so the loss is not too much."

But Gu Yan said: "It doesn't matter why he is popular, I will settle accounts with him sooner or later..."

……

Niu Zihou's family is rich and powerful, and there are also servants in the yamen's gate in the clan, so all the Baidao connections have been opened up.

A man who escaped came back and reported that his property was robbed halfway.

Good guy, there is someone who "eats raw rice" and dares to rob his thick convoy?
He doesn't pay attention to this little money.

However, what makes him angry is that some people don't take him seriously.

So, I went directly to General Changshun of Jilin.

In fact, Changshun didn't want to wade into the muddy water, there were too many bandits in the territory, he couldn't kill them at all, and he might even get himself into trouble.

However, holding the "filial piety" of the Niu family all the year round, this matter cannot be ignored.

He called Cheng Ming, the commander of the infantry, and ordered in front of Niu Zihou, "The leader of the looting convoy is called Gu Yan, do you know that?"

Cheng Ming nodded: "I have heard a little bit about it."

Chang Shun continued: "He dared to rob a family of good deeds like the Niu family, and he really didn't take Wang Fa seriously. In this way, you are ready to lead your troops to wipe out the gangsters like Gu Yan!"

"Subordinate to obey!"

Wait for Chengming to leave.

Changshun said kindly to Niuzi: "Bingkun, you can rest assured now. Cheng Mingfei is a boy of the Eight Banners who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun. Although his family background is poor, he is good at arranging troops, knows the art of war, and knows people and kindness. Ren. With him, the matter must be resolved smoothly."

Niu Zihou: "Then thank you General!"
