20 years of the Republic of China

Chapter 25 Mao Zi (please read it, don’t keep books)

When the two Maozi soldiers saw Jiang Xiaodao stumbling over, they immediately threw away their cigarette butts, stepped back half a step with their right foot, lowered their shoulders, raised the muzzle of their guns, the hooked beards on their lips trembled twice, and shouted threats.

"Stoy! Stowy! (Stop)"

Jiang Xiaodao was so frightened that he quickly raised his hands and fell to his knees with a pop: "No, no, no, no! No, no! No, no!"

The two Mao Zi soldiers looked confused and chattered a few words to each other. Then they reached an agreement and raised the muzzles of their guns slightly.

Jiang Xiaodao still didn't dare to get up, and just said in a panic: "Listen to me, you two, that big gap-toothed man, he, he killed one of your people!"

As soon as these words came out, the onlookers fell silent for an instant.

Hu Biao's face turned pale, and he felt an icy chill running down his heels towards Tian Ling Gai. His whole body trembled, and the aggressive momentum he had just now suddenly succumbed.

"You little bastard! You...what are you talking about!" Hu Biao turned around and said, "Boss Li, it will be difficult if Mao Zi gets involved. We should take him back to the Yamen as soon as possible!"

Captain Li repeatedly said yes, shouted to his followers, and rushed to get the person.

When Jiang Xiaodao saw that the two Mao Zibing didn't understand, he was so anxious that he pointed at Hu Biao, then at Mao Zibing, and finally made a motion of wiping his neck.

After gesticulating twice in succession, Mao Zibing finally came to his senses. He immediately raised his hand and used his bayonet to force the officer back. He turned his head and pulled his neck and yelled: "Zhang! Zhang!"

After shouting for a while, a young man from the outside of the crowd shouted: "Here he is! He is here!"

Everyone followed the sound and looked over, only to see a tall man with long legs pushing his way in from the outside.

When Jiang Xiaodao saw the visitor, it was the "great poet" whom he had met once before, and he couldn't help but feel overjoyed: "Brother Zhang!"

"Eh? Brother, it's you?" Zhang Zongchang was a little surprised, "I was blocked out just now and didn't look at you. What happened?"

Jiang Xiaodao had no time to explain, so he just begged Zhang Zongchang to translate for him: "That big gap-toothed guy from Changfeng Escort Agency, he killed Mao Zi!"

When Zhang Zongchang heard this, he knew that this was an opportunity to make meritorious deeds, so he naturally did not dare to neglect it, and he quickly started chirping at the two Maozi soldiers.

His level of Russian at this time was not very proficient. Although the words could not form sentences, he still conveyed everything that should be conveyed.

The two Mao Zibing said a few more words in plain language, as if they were asking questions. Zhang Zongchang just replied: "Changfeng Escort Agency!"

As soon as Captain Hu saw that the situation was not right, he immediately ordered in a low voice: "Second Commander, be smart and leave quickly! Go back to the notification cabinet, don't care about the situation, just run out and hide."

The second strongman responded, and was about to retreat quietly into the crowd, and when he took the opportunity to turn around and escape, he heard someone from the people behind him shout loudly: "This man is going to run away!"

Immediately afterwards, everyone blocked the way of the two strong men and shouted: "Catch him! Catch him!"

Mao Zibing immediately raised the barrel of his gun and pressed forward with curses in his mouth.

Seeing being betrayed by fellow villagers from the same city, the second strongman was dumbfounded. After practicing the moves for more than ten years, he thought he had steel and iron bones, but under the threat of a gun, he suddenly collapsed, and his knees felt like lead. As if falling to his knees.

"Sir, it's none of my business!" Er Qiang raised his hand and pointed at Hu Biao's head, "It's him! He's the one you want to arrest!"

"Top [-]! You!" Hu Biao said with a lump in his throat, his eyes full of shock and disappointment.

"Sir, his name is Hu Biao, and he is the head escort. I can take you to the Changfeng Escort Bureau!" Er Qiang crawled towards Zhang Zongchang on his hands and knees, "Brother, help me tell them...ah!"

The top two have no chance to lead the way.Before he could finish his words, the bayonet on the muzzle of Mao Zibing's gun stabbed into his eye socket. With a stir, thick blood mixed with his brain and gurgled out.Not long after, a bright red color bloomed on the snow.

Strangely, facing such a bloody scene, no exclamations could be heard from the crowd.

There was silence, and everyone seemed to have just seen a puddle of misunderstanding on the ground. They turned their faces away, kept silent, and just planned to stay away.

Expressions of fear were rare, let alone anger.

Mao Zibing raised his gun, fired a shot into the air, and roared: "Sto Yi!"

Zhang Zongchang shouted next to him: "Stop! Everyone, stop!"

Only then did everyone stop and turn around, standing with hands hanging down like zombies, either shaking like chaff or dumbfounded.

Jiang Xiaodao followed Zhang Zongchang and looked around. In a trance, he seemed to have returned to the house where Mrs. Feng kept humans and animals.

The two Mao Zi soldiers had long been accustomed to this. They stood there like shepherds as if no one else was around. They exchanged a few words with each other, and then one of them quickly left.

Captain Li put on a smile, walked up to Zhang Zongchang tremblingly, and asked, "Brother, why did that military commander go there just now?"

Zhang Zongchang tilted his head, not taking this errand seriously at all: "It's none of your business?"

Bantou Li lost his temper and still smiled shyly: "Brother, from your accent, I guess you are not from here, right? Our General Shengjing issued an order not to have any disputes with Tsarist Russia. The year before last, they went south and made a lot of noise. It’s been hard to calm down in the past two years. It’s better if we don’t make things too big, otherwise the masters will be blamed..."

"Fuck you!" Zhang Zongchang cursed, "That's your master, and now I'm working as an errand for the Russians."

"That's that!" Bantou Li said in a low voice, "But today's matter was originally a case of theft. It was all because of this kid's carelessness that it got to this point. He was lying and shitting. , I’m afraid that it will be a misunderstanding in the end, and it won’t be easy for you to do business with them!”

"Go away! You're so fucking stupid!" Zhang Zongchang slapped his chest, "This is my brother! Don't look at me because I'm young, but I can get along on the Maozi Railway because of two words - righteousness ! Hurry up and remove the shackles from my brother!"

Captain Li had no choice but to walk over and unshackle Jiang Xiaodao's hands.

Jiang Xiaodao reminded: "There is also Lao Cui! Untie him too!"

Captain Li had no choice but to do as he was told.

Seeing this, Mao Zibing quickly raised his gun and asked why.

Young Zhang Zongchang hurriedly stepped forward and gestured, pointing to the river path and then to himself, and said: "He and I are good friends!"

He really wasn't bragging. After several explanations, Mao Zibing actually put down his gun and lit a cigarette.

After he finished smoking the cigarette, the sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded not far away.

Everyone looked up and saw seven or eight Cossack cavalry coming towards them menacingly.

The leader was wearing a straight woolen military coat. His facial features were as sharp as a knife. The beard on his face was not lush and just touched the peak of his lips. Different from other hairy men, he looked full of energy, serious and capable.
