20 years of the Republic of China

Chapter 28 Right and Wrong (please read it, don’t keep books)

"Don't blame me...don't blame me..."

Jiang Xiaodao and Lao Cui, like the people from Changfeng Escort Bureau, were squatting under the wall of the yard under the guard of a Mao Zibing.

Mao Zibing was leaning on his rifle, leaning on a cigarette with a cigarette in his mouth, cursing and looking very impatient.He was waiting for the people in the room to come out and take turns with him.

The woman's voice in the back room started out as a miserable wail, but gradually turned into a low sob.

"Lao He! Save me! Woohoo!"

Jiang Xiaodao hugged his legs tightly to his chest and muttered repeatedly: "Don't blame me... Don't blame me..."

Lao Cui frowned beside him: "Xiaodao, what are you mumbling about?"

"Old Cui, can you blame me?" Jiang Xiaodao said hesitantly, "I was begging for food with you at the temple fair. It was fine, but that Hu escort chief insisted on arresting me. If I didn't say that he killed Mao Zi, I have long been thrown into the squad room to die!"

"Ugh!"

"And just now, if I hadn't killed He Lishan, I would have died! Now the He family is in great trouble, all because of my words!" Jiang Xiaodao asked in confusion, "But can you blame me? Old man Cui, can you blame me?"

Lao Cui's expression was a little gloomy.

He patted Jiang Xiaodao's shoulder and comforted him: "My child, don't think blindly. I don't blame you, and no one blames you."

"Yeah, I think too...it's not my fault."

There was another cry from the back room, it sounded like a child.

"Dad! Dad! Where are you... help me!"

Jiang Xiaodao's whole body became cold after hearing this, and he was frightened and uneasy.

He asked others, but also asked himself: "Old Cui, don't you really blame me? Don't they... also blame me?"

This time.

Lao Cui's answer was just a sigh.

For an entire hour, Mao Zibing came in and out.What they enjoy most is standing in the yard and looking at the escorts provocatively after playing with women.They played with the dignity of these men unscrupulously, because they knew that empty anger could not burn anyone to death.

In the house, some people were tortured and died under the knife; some could not bear the humiliation and hanged themselves.

Finally, Ivan came out satisfied and put on his belt.As usual, he reminded himself that he was a nobleman and carefully twisted his beard into a hook shape with his fingers.

"Zhang!"

"At this!"

Zhang Zongchang walked over with hesitation.

His face also lost the look it had just now.

Ivan said a few words. Zhang Zongchang nodded frequently after hearing this. Then he cleared his throat and relayed: "Sir Ivan said that the matter of the Loyalty Army is not over yet! But for the sake of your honesty, Come on, spare your lives for now, please stand in a row and follow him back to the military camp!"

Hearing this, everyone even felt a hint of gratitude in their eyes as if they had been granted amnesty.

Captain Li hurriedly ran forward and said timidly: "Brother Zhang, please tell this officer, they took people away in such a muddle-headed way, it's really hard for us brothers to deal with them!" No, you want him to discuss it with our master?"

Zhang Zongchang translated it briefly.

Ivan sneered twice and said that there was nothing to discuss. If you are not convinced, you can ask your master to come to the military camp to find him at any time. If Shengjing General Zengqi is willing to kneel down and beg him, he can consider letting him go.

When it comes to this, naturally there is nothing to talk about.

Upon hearing this, several government officials immediately gathered together to discuss.

"Lao Li, what should we do? Is this trip going to waste?"

"You ask me, who the hell am I asking? When foreigners are here, who still treats us as food? Let me tell you, brothers, go home as soon as possible and make a living for yourself!"

The yamen servants frowned and said: "We have been here for half our lives, and apart from this business, we don't know how to do anything else!"

"You can figure it out for yourself!" Team Leader Li said with a sullen face, "I heard that starting from last year in the capital, those who work on duty are no longer called police officers. Instead, they are called police officers. It seems that they need some assessment and training. In short, they are all called police officers. If he is replaced by a young one, we will probably be there soon."

"Ah? So what are we doing at our age?"

"What's the deal?" Team Leader Li laughed helplessly at himself, "If I can't carry bags or pull a rickshaw, I'll just go up the mountain and be a beard!"

"Hey, if you want to be a beard, I have a way."

"Really? Why don't you send me a message first?"

"I heard there are many hills over Haicheng..."

"How about we..." The government officials looked dejected and chatted while walking.

Suddenly, smoke and dust spread everywhere, and the figures of the people gradually blurred. Together with the fire sticks, iron chains, waist knives, and water and fire sticks, these things that once made them majestic finally slowly dissipated.

The people from the Changfeng Escort Bureau had already formed a long queue. Jiang Xiaodao took the opportunity to come over and asked, "Brother Zhang, is Mao Zi really not going to kill them?"

Zhang Zongchang nodded firmly: "The railway is almost finished. It is expected that the entire line will be open this summer. Maozi is now raising people to go to Siberia to pan for gold. These people will have to work as coolies."

"Silia?"

"Siberia."

"Where is that place?"

"The north, the far north, I don't know either." Zhang Zongchang looked back at Mao Zibing and said, "Brother, don't ask, just leave now while no one is paying attention to you!"

Jiang Xiaodao nodded repeatedly: "Old Cui, let's withdraw!"

At this moment, Li Qun from the Changfeng Escort Bureau suddenly shouted: "Sir, these two are trying to run away! They are the murderers! There is also Jiang Chenghai, he is also in Liaoyang, you should arrest him!"

Ivan came to his senses and signaled Jiang Xiaodao and Lao Cui to join the team.

Zhang Zongchang was really upright and hurried over to explain to Ivan.

No one knew whether he deliberately missed any information when translating. They only knew that after the negotiation, his face became increasingly ugly.

Finally, Ivan raised a finger, and Zhang Zongchang came back dejectedly.

Lao Cui had a premonition that the situation was not good, and he quickly stumbled and asked: "Brother Zhang...what, how is it? What does he mean?"

Zhang Zongchang shook his head helplessly: "Only one of you can go."

Lao Cui looked around, his eyes dull, and asked knowingly: "Then, between us...who will go?"

As soon as he finished speaking, two Mao Zi soldiers came behind Lao Cui, grabbed his shoulders, pushed and kicked him, and drove him forward like an animal.

"Hey... don't, I have nothing to do with you here!" Lao Cui was so frightened that his voice trembled, and the wrinkles on his face instantly filled with snot and tears, "Brother Zhang, Brother Zhang, please help me beg for mercy again, really. It’s none of my business! Xiaodao! Xiaodao, help me!”

Li Qun was also shouting like crazy over there: "Catch that kid! Catch him!"

Jiang Xiaodao wanted to step forward, but Zhang Zongchang stopped him: "Brother, if we make trouble again, even you will have to leave!"

"Xiao Dao! Xiao Dao!" Lao Cui cried and wiped away his tears. His legs were as soft as noodles. "I am old and I can't help but toss. Please help me!"

Jiang Xiaodao really wanted to say that he would trade for Lao Cui.

However, when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say them out. He was mute.

"Xiaodao, save me!"

Forced by gunpoint, the team began to move forward.

Zhang Zongchang patted Jiang Xiaodao on the shoulder: "Brother, I don't know what's going on with you, but you'd better go hide somewhere else! I have to go, see you later!"

When Lao Cui saw that it was a done deal and there was no chance of any improvement, he turned around and said: "Xiaodao, my home is in Fengtian, your father knows where it is! I was born poor, I will give you that house to live in! I have the same money as you, and I don't know where it is!" Hidden inside the top of the kang."

"Old Cui!"

Jiang Xiaodao was filled with guilt.

"Xiaodao! Remember the tricks I taught you. You must be able to obey others, speak auspicious words, be thick-skinned, and not be embarrassed! If you have skills, you will never starve to death! That... you said you would ring for me in the future. Man'er, does this still count?"

"Wait! I can switch with him..."

Jiang Xiaodao finally plucked up the courage to speak out, but his voice was so soft that people couldn't help but suspect that it was just his self-forgiveness.

The team has gone far.

His feet seemed to have regained consciousness, and he took steps forward. Just as he was about to run forward, his neck collar was suddenly grabbed by a big hand behind him!
"Who?"

When he turned around, he saw a strange old man whispering to him: "Boy, come with me, your father asked me to come!"

Jiang Xiaodao's mind went blank. He obviously wanted to follow Lao Cui, but his body could not help but let the old man lead him to turn left and right.

After a period of trance, when he came to his senses again, he had arrived at the south gate of Liaoyang City.

Passing through the city gate, outside the city, there was a familiar figure astride a tall horse, jokingly smiling at the river path.

"Xiaodao, come and give your seventh uncle a happy New Year!"
