20 years of the Republic of China

Chapter 91 The secret general
Just as Zhou Yunfu expected, Jiang Xiaodao opened a secret hall and went through many twists and turns. After a few days, he was still a polished commander, which was of no use except to satisfy his vanity.

At that age, Xiaodao Erlang was unable to suppress others. He was not considered a stick in the arena, and he could not use the name of Zhou Yunfu. Moreover, the "three major families" were recruiting troops, and those who could fight had already had a boss. , who will come to worship his code?

There are people on the street who know that he is the son of "Owl of the Sea", and they call him young master and use polite words.

But these people know the basics, let alone use it - otherwise, what else would it be called a secret hall?

Things were not going well, and Jiang Xiaodao got angry. On a cold day, he drank cold water "gudonggudong", which could not quench the evil fire and burn his heart.

She was so frightened by the fever that she glanced at her daughter-in-law. Hu Xiaoyan was so frightened that she quickly offered words of comfort.

"This is normal, everything is difficult at the beginning!"

Jiang Xiaodao sat on the kang and sighed, "I also know the truth. If I could really respond to a hundred calls, Zhou Yunfu wouldn't be able to let me speak out! In fact, everything else doesn't matter. I'm just afraid that we Dad will be in danger."

This is the truth.

As long as he finds out the traitor and ensures that his father and the others are still one and the same, Jiang Xiaodao doesn't care at all. He is eager to help his father!

Hu Xiaoyan nodded silently, getting up from time to time and looking out the window.

At present, it seems that the only ones who can really take the young couple seriously are the little beggars.

Speaking of which, in his early years, Zhou Yunfu also hired a little fan boy to work for him.

This old man had a bad heart, so he gathered a bunch of little beggars, and took them to have a great time, eating and drinking, wishing he could see all the wealth in the world in one night.

What insight can a little beggar have?
After being so wild all night, I suddenly realized: This is what we call living!

Suddenly, the prosperity is blinding, and the ambition is so high!
At this time, Zhou Yunfu used sweet words, threatened and deceived, made various promises, and finally gave them a knife - yes!Brother Zhou, whoever you say I will conquer, I will conquer!

But once the matter is done, these little beggars will immediately become abandoned. Where can they find Zhou Yunfu?
Let's just sit there and suffer in jail, waiting to be beheaded!
The pawn who has not crossed the river can destroy the enemy's car - the method is really clever, and the effect is quite good.

Jiang Xiaodao didn't intend to do this. It wasn't that he was soft-hearted and kind-hearted, but that he was an older beggar nearby. He had some friendship with Lao Cui. Although he was not a senior brother, he didn't want to They pushed into the fire pit.

Hu Xiaoyan didn't want to do this either, but the reason was different.

Just throw it away after use, it's a one-time deal.

Nowadays, there are not many people available to begin with. If you do this right after opening the court, who will work for them in the future?Moreover, although these children are young, they have small advantages. They know the basics and are easy to discipline, so they can become confidants.

Having said that, these little beggars are not quite up to par.

At first, they just casually told Hu Xiaoyan the news in the city, big and small, aimlessly, saying whatever they saw in exchange for some reward money.

Now the reward is more, but there is a clear mission.

As a result, a few naughty children began to use their crooked brains to make up lies full of loopholes to defraud rewards, which made Jiang and Hu very angry.

When it came time to report, everyone was talking about anything and everything. It was so noisy and noisy that it made people feel dizzy.

A small tree will not slip away if it is not repaired, and it will be chirped if a person does not repair it.

Fortunately, Hu Xiaoyan was already very familiar with these young beggars. After several days of testing and screening, she finally sorted out their order and selected a few older ones to take over. She was about to come over tonight to officially ask for help. .

After dinner, Jiang Xiaodao took a short stick and sat on the kang, rolling up his arms and sleeves.

"If these little bastards still dare to make up lies to defraud rewards, I will deal with them tonight! Wife, don't stop me then!"

Unexpectedly, Hu Xiaoyan stretched out her hand and said, "Give me the stick!"

"what?"

Hu Xiaoyan turned around and said firmly: "I'll do it!"

Jiang Xiaodao hesitated: "Can you do it?"

Hu Xiaoyan said: "If I can't do it, I'll come back again."

"Then why bother?" Jiang Xiaodao was puzzled, "Why bother doing it twice?"

"You do not understand."

"I don't understand?"

Jiang Xiaodao thought it was ridiculous and couldn't help but laugh out loud, but when he saw Hu Xiaoyan's resolute attitude, he didn't bother to argue with her, so he handed her the stick casually.

Just at this moment, there was a sudden "dong-dong" knock on the door outside the house.

Jiang Xiaodao stood up and opened the door, only to see four men, one woman, and five half-teen-year-old children standing outside the door.

"Brother!" Everyone shouted in unison with a smile.

Jiang Xiaodao was quite beautiful in his heart, but he still kept his posture, pretending to be a big brother, turned sideways without a smile, and said coldly: "Come in!"

It was cold outside the house. After hearing the words, several children immediately filed in. When they walked to the back room, they saw Hu Xiaoyan and shouted together: "Sister-in-law!"

The children are very happy and the atmosphere is harmonious. After all, since the beginning of winter, thanks to the big brother and sister-in-law in front of them, they can have enough to eat.

Jiang Xiaodao walked into the house and sat on the kang. He had no intention of asking about the news brought by several people tonight.

"Are you all willing to accept me as your eldest brother?"

"I would like to!"

The little fans were very sensible, and they immediately knelt on the ground and shouted loudly.

"You've thought about it, don't you regret it?"

"How can I regret it!" The leader, a little beggar, looked fourteen or fifteen years old and looked familiar. "Brother, we have heard of you. You are the son of 'Owl'! I can't go wrong by hanging out with you!" "

Jiang Xiaodao nodded. Dad's penis was indeed big enough, and even half-grown wild children on the street knew about it.

But Hu Xiaoyan suddenly said: "Let me correct you, it is him you worship, Jiang Lianheng! It has nothing to do with other people. If you came here for the 'Owl', you can leave now."

The little beggar in the lead didn't understand.

"But what I said is the truth! We have all asked about it!"

"boom!"

Hu Xiaoyan slammed the table suddenly, catching Jiang Xiaodao off guard.

"The fact is, you only have one big brother, and that's him! You just listen to his words. The 'Owl' has no control over you, and there's no need to try to get close to you. If you don't understand, there's no need to bow anymore!"

The little beggar was a little puzzled.

Somehow, Hu Xiaoyan suddenly changed from her usual friendly attitude, her eyes were menacing, as if she was determined to take things seriously.

Of course Jiang Xiaodao understood her intention, but he still felt a little uncomfortable when he saw his wife like this.

The little beggar turned his eyes, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Wait a moment!"

After saying that, he turned around and formed a circle with several other people, chatting away.

When Jiang Xiaodao saw this situation, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind - isn't this the child who blocked the way in front of Lao Cui's door five years ago!Now he is actually half a boy!
After the discussion, the little beggar turned around and smiled.

"Sister-in-law, we understand what you mean! We are willing to worship Brother Jiang as the boss!"

After saying this, he led a few people and kowtowed three times to Jiang Xiaodao and Hu Xiaoyan.

"Brother and sister-in-law! From now on, we will all listen to you. Whatever you ask us to do, we will do it! If anyone dares to have second thoughts, he will be struck by thunder and will choke to death when drinking water or choking on food. Death, drowning in pee, or smoke in excrement! In short, it’s not a good death!”

There is not much ink in the little beggar's belly, so what he says is true.

Hearing this, Jiang Xiaodao was quite satisfied. The only thing he was a little annoyed about was that these little beggars liked to gather together to discuss anything when they encountered something. He thought to himself, this is probably the democracy mentioned in the newspapers, right?

Hu Xiaoyan didn't smile at all. Instead, she raised her hand and called the leading child over.

The little beggar thought he was going to give a reward, so he walked forward in a hurry. However, just as he was about to say thank you, he heard a sudden strong wind in his ears. Hu Xiaoyan could not help but pick up the shorts in her hand. The stick hit him directly in the face.

"Snapped!"

The little beggar couldn't dodge in time, and was hit hard on the eye socket. His brow bone suddenly cracked, and he suddenly felt stars in his eyes. He staggered and almost fell to the ground.Everyone exclaimed.

Not to mention the other children, even Jiang Xiaodao didn't expect Hu Xiaoyan to hold back such a revelation!
The little beggar's anger arose in his heart, and he shouted sternly: "Fuck, why are you hitting people!"

Dare you scold my sister-in-law!

Hu Xiaoyan immediately picked up the stick again, but she was a cripple and a woman after all. Before the stick could be swung out, the little beggar reached out and grabbed the stick.

"What happened to me? Why did you hit me?"

Seeing this, Jiang Xiaodao's eyes instantly turned cold, and he immediately held the edge of the bed with both hands - as long as that kid dared to attack Hu Xiaoyan, even if he only showed the slightest intention, Jiang Xiaodao would immediately kill him without any hesitation.

But on Hu Xiaoyan's side, her face was as dark as water, showing no fear.

She knows what real violence is!
In other words, her entire childhood was spent in violence - although she never expressed it, this was the language she was familiar with!

A little beggar, with his nose and eyes staring, wants to scare her?
"Let go!" Hu Xiaoyan ordered.

The little beggar couldn't help but glance at Jiang Xiaodao.

"Look at me!" Hu Xiaoyan interrupted sharply, "Your elder brother is not talking to you now, you have to look at me!"

Momentum is something invisible, but it actually exists.

The little beggar swallowed, and his momentum dropped by half.

"You...tell me first, why do you hit me?"

However, Hu Xiaoyan didn't want to explain at all, but turned her head and said to the only little girl in the room: "Xiaohua, go get the hatchet on the stove."

The girl named Xiaohua was stunned for a moment, not knowing whether to go or not.

"Have you forgotten the oath you just swore?" Hu Xiaoyan reminded, "Xiaohua, if you don't take it, I will punish you soon!"

The little girl was already frightened enough. When she heard this, she quickly responded and walked towards the kitchen.

The little beggar heard the noise, looked at Hu Xiaoyan's legs, and then looked at Hu Xiaoyan's eyes. His heart suddenly felt like a hole in the ice, and he immediately understood that the sister-in-law was really serious about it.

After all, he was not Jiang Xiaodao, and he didn't have the strength in his bones to support him. His whole body immediately faltered, and his voice trembled when he spoke.

"Sister-in-law, I...I was wrong! Please spare me this time!"

Hu Xiaoyan raised her arm: "Ask your brother for mercy!"

Jiang Xiaodao was startled and thought to himself, is there anything else I have to do here?
But after all, the two of them had become husband and wife. As soon as their eyes met, Jiang Xiaodao understood what Hu Xiaoyan meant.

"Brother, I was wrong. I don't even know how I offended my sister-in-law. Please spare me this time!"

Jiang Xiaodao pretended to think deeply, and then said: "Since this is your first offender, let's forget it this time."

If the little beggar encounters amnesty, he immediately loosens his stick and kneels down to kowtow.

Hu Xiaoyan then reminded the other people in the room: "Remember, you only have one eldest brother. No matter what happens, you can only discuss it with your eldest brother. It's not your turn to chatter over there!"

Everyone quickly agreed in unison.

Hu Xiaoyan looked at the boy in front of her again and said coldly: "You just scolded me."

The little beggar was very self-conscious, and immediately slapped himself in the mouth and apologized: "Sister-in-law, I was stupid just now, and I won't dare to do it again next time."

"Stop! I didn't let you hit yourself!" Hu Xiaoyan stopped him and turned to look at the other people. "Remember, no matter who dares to hit your eldest brother and me, you can't let go! Come here and slap each other. He has a mouth!”

Liwei!

Both Jiang Xiaodao and Hu Xiaoyan could tell that the little beggar in front of them was the leader of this group of children.

But there can only be one eldest brother in the hall, so the prestige of this little boss must be destroyed.

"Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap!"

If you have been punished, you should be rewarded.

Hu Xiaoyan consciously left the white-faced scene to Xiaodao.

Jiang Xiaodao gave each of them a piece of silver and warned them not to spend it carelessly, otherwise they would arouse suspicion, just like what his father had said.

Receiving reward money is supposed to be a happy thing, but the cheerful atmosphere of the little beggar is no longer the same as when he first entered the house. Everyone is very serious, and finally looks like a courteous person.

Walking up to the leading child, Jiang Xiaodao specially gave him an extra piece.

"Here, you take this and buy some medicine."

But the little beggar refused: "Brother, no need, I have to do this by myself!"

Jiang Xiaodao thought he was quite interesting, so he asked, "What's your name?"

"Little embolus!"

Ask the other people again, okay? They are all nicknames given by poor families in order to make a living: Xiao Shuanzi, Erzhu, Xiao Doao, Gou Shengzi, and the only little girl is named Xiaohua.

Whether it sounds good or not is another matter. The key point is that it is easy to remember the trail.

After thinking about it, Jiang Xiaodao decided to change their names: they would use the surnames of Zhang Wang and Li Zhao, and the names of southeast and northwest, respectively: Zhang Zhengdong, Wang Zhengnan, Li Zhengxi, and Zhao Zhengbei.

Because of the change of job to find out the news, they are also called the four wind outlets, southeast, northwest and northwest.

Jiang Xiaodao was quite satisfied, and after giving a few instructions, he let them leave first.

……

At night, the young couple turned off the lights, fell on the kang, and whispered to each other.

"Daughter-in-law, I didn't realize it, but you are quite fierce!"

"Ah."

"What you did just now reminds me of a certain person."

"I know who you're going to say, stop talking."

Jiang Xiaodao smacked his lips, while Hu Xiaoyan turned over and faced the wall without saying a word.

Both of them knew who that person was, but neither wanted to mention it.

It seems to have changed, and it seems that nothing has changed.

lean less.

Jiang Xiaodao suddenly pushed Hu Xiaoyan's shoulder: "Daughter-in-law, look!"

"What's wrong again?"

"Snowing!"

Hu Xiaoyan sat up and looked up, and saw that the mountains outside the window were indeed covered in silver, spotless, crystal clear and pure.

Jiang Xiaodao also sat up.

The two of them were speechless, standing side by side, quietly watching the belated first snowfall.

…………

It snowed and the sky cleared, and in a blink of an eye, it was January again.

After the new year passed, the new emperor ascended the throne, electrified the whole country, and changed the Yuan Dynasty to Xuantong.

After the Lantern Festival, Mr. Xu was transferred to Beijing and returned to Beijing to preside over the overall affairs of the government.

Fengtian Jianghu is in trouble again!
