Chapter 89 Who Made You Eat It
Stead wrote in his memoirs in his later years: Throughout the ten years of working in China, the most humiliating thing I felt was being robbed by a gangster. First knocked off the two fingers of the groom, then tied me to the side of the road, and stuck a piece of wood behind my back. The words written on it were very ironic and insulting.I later learned that this practice is called: Insert the label and sell the first!This person claims to be the Hunyuan Thunderbolt Hand-Cheng Kun.But later I took up the post of US Consul General in Fengtian. After various investigations and evidence collection, it was found out that this person should be a local private armed leader.

……

Zhao Chuanxin was sitting in a newly acquired four-wheeled carriage.

This carriage has thin wheels, the rear is small and the front is large, and it is a double-horse carriage.There are pedals next to the carport, and fixed wind lamps are erected at the front and back for driving at night.

Inside is a leather sofa, which is quite soft to sit on.

It's just that it's uncomfortable to sit in the front of the car, and the bumpy road has ups and downs.

But if you grab everything, you will naturally not give up.

Not only the carriage was robbed, but the opponent's weapons, bullets, money on his body, and the camera in the car were also taken away.

To be honest, none of the foreigners working in China is innocent.

After driving the carriage for a while, I saw a group of common people walking hobbled with their children and their daughters.

Seeing a "luxury" carriage approaching, these people gave way in fear.

When he got closer, Zhao Chuanxin stopped the car.

"Are you hungry?"

A look of astonishment appeared on the numb faces of this group of people.

The adults didn't speak, but a little girl said crisply: "Hungry!"

This little girl has a round face, her bangs are pointed forward, her big eyes are watery, and it is the first time Zhao Chuanxin has seen such a cute little girl, especially her feet are not bound.

In Lugang Township, women must let their feet go, and foot binding is strictly prohibited.

There is no reason to speak, and if you refuse to accept it, look at the gun in your hand before speaking.

Zhao Chuanxin took out a steamed bun from his pocket and leaned over to hand it to the little girl, then said to these people: "There is a place where there is no war and no hunger. Are you willing to go?"

Not everyone believed it.

In the age of war and chaos, wouldn't it be heaven without war and hunger?

Zhao Chuanxin casually took out a handful of silver dollars from his pocket, and the glint of the silver dollars in the sun was fascinating: "Do you want to? If you are willing to go there, I, Hunyuan Thunderbolt Hand Cheng Kun, will support you with some money as travel expenses .”

Finally, the crowd was in an uproar.

"really?"

Hearing this sentence, Zhao Chuanxin was happy: "It's more real than real gold."

Not long after, he scattered 20 silver dollars.

"I'll write you a note. If you meet bandits, show them the note. If they can't read, tell them that Captain Zhao of the Lugang Town Insurance Team asked you to go. Whoever dares to rob you Captain Zhao will settle accounts with him. If there are relatives and friends who want to escape the war, they all go to Lugang Town to find a way to survive, and everyone spread the news."

Watching the group of people leave, Zhao Chuanxin encountered several waves of fleeing civilians one after another.

Some wanted to go elsewhere, while others wanted to take refuge in Shengjing.

No matter where they want to go, as long as they say they will go to Lugang Town, he will pay.

The boy-like behavior of distributing wealth soon created a gust of deer hill town wind in a radius of more than a hundred miles.

Du Lisan, who is the great king of Liaodi Mountain, got wind of it not long after.

Cheng Kun, the Hunyuan thunderbolt hand, blackmailed a large amount of money from the Japanese, and even robbed the American carriage. Along the way, he became a money-scattering boy, giving money to the fleeing people everywhere, and letting them take refuge in Lugang Town.

Du Lisan's third wife was stunned and said: "This Hunyuan Thunderbolt Hand Cheng Kun, who is the number one in the Green Forest? Why haven't I heard of it?"

Just by hearing the name of Hunyuan Thunderbolt Hand, Du Lisan felt that he had a strong color of someone.

After hearing about Lugang Town, he immediately understood, and he said excitedly: "This person, as I said before, is the captain of the insurance team of Lugangling Village, Zhao Chuanxin! He is very narrow-minded. , giving yourself random names every day, such as shooting stars chasing the moon and chasing cicadas with eight steps, Feng Xifan with a sword without blood, and the great mage outside the pass..."

The third lady laughed loudly: "This person is very interesting. But how did you say he managed to swallow thousands of dollars from the Japanese under their noses?"

Now, Du Lisan was a little uncertain.

After pondering for a moment, he said, "Maybe, he really knows magic. Among so many titles, only Guanwai Dianhong and Archmage are the most resounding."

The third lady shook her head: "That is a white ocean, if you say it will be distributed to the people, then it will be distributed to the people, tsk tsk."

……

Dragon Boat Festival.

Zhao Chuanxin ate rice dumplings near Lushun Port, and watched a big show by the way.

The Russian warships in the port are organizing a breakout, while the four battleships outside are intercepting, and the naval battle is quite lively.

Cannons come and go, sparks shoot out.

Zhao Chuanxin chewed the zongzi, and murmured: "Well, yes, yes, this cannon almost hit the battleship. Well, what's so accurate, let me sink it with one cannon..."

He was commenting here, and there were a few compatriots with timid and frightened faces beside him.

These compatriots were braided by the Russian army before, and they were about to transport strategic materials onto the ship. Zhao Chuanxin killed them while they were working and rescued these people.

Everyone thought that he would take them away, but they didn't expect him to be bold enough to watch the Russo-Japanese naval battle here.

"Well, can you give me a zongzi?"

A skinny young man next to him asked in a whisper.

Zhao Chuanxin put down the binoculars and said in surprise: "You can take it if you want to eat it, isn't there still in the bucket?"

When several people heard it, they stretched out their hands to grab it.

For a moment, when Zhao Chuanxin held up the binoculars and stretched his hand into the bucket, he couldn't find the zongzi.

He said angrily: "Who told you to eat up my zongzi?"

Several people were dumbfounded: "Didn't you let us eat it?"

Zhao Chuanxin said, "When did I say that?"

Several people:"……"

I saw Zhao Chuanxin drop the binoculars: "Damn it, it's nothing, I didn't rush out a few times."

This battle still had to be fought, Maozi tried to break through but failed, that bastard Dongxiang Heihachiro stopped them back with a battleship.

At this time, the Maozi battleship in Lushun Port was isolated and helpless, and they couldn't leave even if they wanted to.

It can be said that Little Japan has completely mastered the sea power.

Zhao Chuanxin also patted his butt, got up and said, "You, come with me from now on, and help me drive the car. You guys, go to Lugang Town, and I will give you two silver dollars as travel expenses."

Don't look at him throwing money everywhere like a boy who spreads money, the money is actually not much less.

While distributing money, they seized supplies, and then sold the general fire to Du Lisan, or Du Lisan helped to match and sell it to other people.

Zhao Chuanxin was lying in the carriage, and the crow stood beside him quietly.Xingyue and Ganfan ran along outside. Ganfan was full of energy and often went ahead to explore the way.

Not long after, the carriage came to a pavilion.

Du Lisan's subordinates are waiting here.

Li Guangzong, who was driving the car, reminded in a low voice: "Sir, we are here."

Li Guangzong was one of those rescued by Zhao Chuanxin.

Zhao Chuanxin got up quickly, got out of the car and asked, "Du Lizi wants it this time, or is it someone else?"

Du Lisan's subordinates looked at Zhao Chuanxin with admiration: "This time it's Zhang Zuolin."

Zhao Chuanxin was taken aback.

But that's okay, Zhao Chuanxin said: "Give me the money, and take away the guns and ammunition."

That subordinate shook his head: "Zhang Zuolin said he wants to deal face to face."
