The mage in the late Qing Dynasty

On this day, a major event happened in the Central Plains - Aixinjueluo Puyi, who was only three years old, ascended the throne and became emperor.

Empress Dowager Longyu and Aixinjueluo Zaifeng were regents.

The newly established Imperial Guard was managed and trained by Tieliang and Aixinjueluo Zaitao.

At this time, Aixinjueluo Zaitao and Tieliang were talking.

Tie Liang said: "When the new emperor succeeds to the throne, public opinion is fierce, and there are still many unruly people who are making trouble for the establishment of the constitution."

Their circle is the most opposed to the establishment of a constitution, because the imperial power also represents vested interests like them.

Establishing a constitution is tantamount to weakening the imperial power.

Zai Tao said perfunctorily: "Haven't we already set up a consultative body? What else is there to make a fuss about? We can't afford to stir up trouble."

Tie Liang's complaint did not receive an effective response, and he was a little frustrated. He changed the topic and said: "Did Baylor hear about Zhao Chuanxin's vigorous recruitment of talents in Lubin Mansion in the north?"

Zai Tao nodded: "Political opinions aside, Zhao Chuanxin is a hero of his time. He recruits talents and cultivates people to strengthen the border. I think this is a good thing. At least it can prevent the Russian invasion."

Zai Tao has always had a good impression of Zhao Chuanxin.

Tie Liang's attitude was completely opposite: "A hero of the world? Otherwise! Zhao Chuanxin is ambitious. I don't think he has any good intentions in recruiting talents. Maybe he wants to rebel openly."

Zhao Chuanxin was bold and bold in the past, but he abandoned Lugang Town and lived alone outside. Indeed, the Qing court was somewhat afraid of him, allowing his power to grow quietly.

But things are different now.

Tie Liang continued: "Lao Buddha is so confused, why did he transfer Zhao Chuanxin to Lubin Mansion in the first place?"

Zai Tao thought for a while and said: "At first, Lafayette thought that in the bitter cold outside the Great Wall, Zhao Chuanxin's clever woman could not make a living without rice. But no one expected that he actually used the method of cutting off the Russian railway to prevent them from increasing their troops, thereby defeating the Russians. He also took over the power of taxation and allowed the Lubin Mansion to grow quietly. So I say that he is a hero of the world. Who else can make Tsarist Russia suffer and silently swallow the bitter water? "

Tie Liang complained: "I heard that Zhao Chuanxin is expanding his army wantonly. Now the number of Gray Ax Army on the border has increased to more than 2,000. In addition, there are hundreds of well-trained patrol police. Where can he get so much money to raise troops? ?The imperial court is appeasing the breeding of traitors and raising tigers to cause trouble. If it is not curbed, this tiger will definitely cause catastrophe in the future."

Zai Tao looked strange: "Contain? How to contain it? Send the New Army outside the Pass to fight? From what I understand, the New Army all over the country are very strong, but the patrol battalion outside the Pass is stronger than the New Army. Headed by Zhang Zuolin, patrols everywhere The battalions are all from the insurance team and green forest people. They fight in the white mountains and black waters. If they are not careful, they will die on the spot. Can a patrol battalion be sent? I once talked with Xu Shichang, the governor of the three eastern provinces, and Xu Shichang said that the patrol battalions outside the customs are afraid of insurance in Lugang Town. The team is even more afraid of Zhao passing on his salary."

Tie Liang was speechless.

He gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "If we don't provoke a feud between the Russians and Zhao Chuanxin, one of the two tigers will be injured when they fight."

"Confused." Zai Tao sneered. "This is pure ignorance."

Tie Liang was not convinced and was about to speak.

At this time, Liangbi, the commander of the First Association of the Imperial Guard and the Minister of Training, came in a hurry.

"Something happened, Eiji Asabuki is dead!"

Tie Liang and Zaitao looked at each other in confusion: "Who is Eiji Asabuki? Japanese?"

Liang Bi said: "Asabuki Eiji, the suspect who bombed the Lu-Han Railway in an attempt to assassinate Zhao Chuanxin, is an important figure in the Japanese Mitsui Consortium."

The Lu-Han Railway was the Beijing-Han Railway. In the Republic of China, it was changed to the Ping-Han Railway because the capital was renamed Peking.

Tie Liang said nothing, but Zai Tao became interested: "Oh? Lai Chen, please elaborate."

Liangbi sat down and took a sip of tea: "An assassin broke into Eiji Asabuki's villa, tied up his wife, and fought four well-trained guards in a bloody battle. The guards were all killed, and the assassin was unscathed. Finally, Eiji Asabuki was shot and killed. It was written on the wall - Anyone who offends Zhao Chuanxin will be punished no matter how far away he is! He then walked away and the Japanese police have not caught the murderer so far."

Zai Tao and Tieliang: "..."

Zai Tao is a fancier, he is good at long-term and short-term play, and is extremely obsessed with drama.

He felt that this was done, it was very dramatic, and just listening to it made people's scalp numb and blood boiling.

Then he blurted out with blood flowing: "Which hero did it? Could it be Zhao Chuanxin himself?"

As soon as he said this, Liangbi and Tieliang both looked at him in astonishment.

Zai Tao realized that he had made a mistake, so he smiled, touched his nose and stopped talking.

Tie Liang shook his head: "Someone told me that Zhao Chuanxin is busy recruiting talents in Lubin Mansion, and it definitely cannot be him."

Zai Tao coughed and said, "Zhao Chuanxin will definitely retaliate, and he will not suffer any loss."

Tie Liang and Liang Bi looked at each other in silence.

For a long time, Liang Bi sneered: "The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan called the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, accusing Zhao Chuanxin of killing innocent people indiscriminately, and claiming that Asabuki Eiji was unjustly accused. This matter fermented in Japan, causing an uproar. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs informed the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan, saying that the Luhama Prefecture We have our own foreign affairs bureau and let them contact each other on their own.”

Zai Tao sighed after hearing this.

What is this thing called?

A country with great dignity, but its railways were bombed, but it did not dare to find anyone to settle the accounts, or even to make a few noises.

When the great revenge was avenged and people questioned him, they quickly passed the responsibility to Lubin Mansion.

Well, this is a disguised recognition of the independence of Lubin Prefecture.

Things are really big, especially in Japan.

Many employees of the Mitsui Consortium, especially expert operators and employees, organized and marched on the streets to accuse Zhao Chuanxin of atrocities.

The operators of Japanese consortiums are now divided into two categories.

One type is expert operators with professional knowledge, and the other type is investment operators, who spend money to manage things.

Eiji Asabuki is an expert operator.

Asabuki Eiji's son, Asabuki Tsunekichi, was also in the parade and gave public speeches everywhere.

He burst into tears: "My father returned to China to recuperate, not to be the rumored murderer who bombed the Lu-Han Railway. Even if someone slandered him, he was at best a suspect, but Zhao Chuanxin brutally murdered my father without any evidence." Now, instead of being brought to justice, Zhao Chuanxin continues to serve as the prefect of Lubin Prefecture. It is really lawless and unreasonable. I ask the Qing government to give my father justice..."

Next to Asabuki Tsunekichi, there stood his petite wife Isoko Nagaoka.

Nagaoka Isoko looked gloomy and wrote with his hands in front of him.

She just lowered her head, and when she raised her head, she suddenly saw a familiar figure in the crowd.

Sun Jun.

Naturally, Sun Yanguang saw her and bared his teeth at her.

Isoko Nagaoka opened her mouth, feeling happy in her heart. She instinctively wanted to smile, but she immediately realized that this was not the time to smile, and quickly restrained herself.

After Asabuki Tsunekichi spitted and cried, he saw from the corner of his eye that his little wife had a strange look on her face. He sobbed and asked, "Isoko, what's wrong with you?"

"No, it's nothing."

At this time, Sun Yanguang in the crowd tapped his chest towards Nagaoka Isoko.

What does it mean?

Nagaoka Isoko responded to her husband while watching secretly, thinking: Sun Jun wants to tell me, does he miss me?

Then his face turned red.

Asabuki Tsunekichi felt something was wrong and followed Nagaoka Isoko's gaze, but found nothing unusual.

It turned out that Sun Yanguang had disappeared into the crowd.

Sun Yanguang cursed: "You're such a bastard, you're actually beating me up. I didn't want to cuckold you, but you asked for it."

When Sun Yanguang thought about it, Eiji Asabuki was the culprit.

To kill him, Asabuki Tsunekichi should be a coward and pretend to be a grandson. After all, they were at fault in the first place.

I never expected that the Asabuki family would be so shameless.

Then don't blame me for using the Kaka Happy Gun to harass your wife.

When I was a teenager, I was given a lot of work by the neighbor's little widow, but I have already practiced various martial arts skills early on. Let's see if the little girl can handle it.

Sun Yanguang was so ruthless and left the scene with a sneer.

Among the crowd was not only Sun Yanguang, but also Zhou Shuren and his two brothers who came from Shinjuku.

Brothers Zhou Shuren and Zhou Zuoren have already made plans to return to China, but the "Collection of Foreign Novels" has not yet been completed. They plan to speed up their work and leave as soon as it is finished.

Zhou Zuoren asked: "Is this really Zhao Chuanxin's doing?"

"Haha, we can't get rid of it. Zhao Chuanxin will definitely retaliate. He dares to bombard the Forbidden City. How can Eiji be nothing?"

"It's very satisfying."

"Yes, that's right."

The two brothers gloated.

Then he shrank his body and wrapped his clothes tightly.

After all, they lived frugally and lived in poverty. The two brothers had plenty to eat, and it didn't take long for them to leave the crowd and go back.

…

Eye No. 1 was inserted into the mountainside hut, which was Zhao Chuanxin's secret base.

Eye No. 2 was inserted into his residence near the Government Commodity Bureau.

Ordinarily, Zhao Chuanxin only needs to teleport back to Eye No. 2, and it will be very close to Lubin Mansion.

But he usually runs a certain distance every morning to reach Lubin Mansion.

This is called life, ninety-nine and six blessings.

Zhao Chuanxin used to be indolent and lazy.

But this year he suddenly became diligent. He is just a mortal, and occasionally suffers from internal conflicts.

For example, there are often two voices in my head.

The left side said: "Have a rest, you have nothing to do. Wouldn't it be nice to just leave the shopkeeper and lie there all day long?"

The right side says: The more diligent a person is, the more industrious he is, and the more lazy he is, the more lazy he is. He cannot relax and refuse corruption and degradation.

Right now has the upper hand.

Zhao Chuanxin cooked some lean meat porridge and drank it in the morning, followed Miao Miao Traveler to the outside of Lubin Mansion, and then walked to the government office.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the government office, he saw a familiar figure.

It was none other than Hu Er's biological sister and Hu Da's cousin Xiao Ling'e.

Hu Er is talking to Xiao Ling'e.

Little Ling'e has a graceful posture, a flower in the local grassland, and her bones are really beautiful.

When she saw Zhao Chuanxin, who was wearing a cotton-padded handbag and a Chinese tunic suit like a veteran cadre, coming over, Xiao Ling'e's eyes lit up: "Mr. Magistrate Zhao."

What is this name?

"Ahem..." Zhao Chuanxin coughed: "Xiao Ling'e, when did you arrive at Lubin Mansion?"

"I arrived yesterday. My sister-in-law and the others are here."

Hu Er smiled: "Our brothers brought all our families here."

They have settled down safely. Different from the days when they were horse bandits, they now live an upright life and naturally cannot let their family suffer.

Zhao Chuanxin nodded: "You guys chat, I'll go in first."

He wanted to go in and let him know before setting off for Sakhalin.

Xiao Ling'e stretched out her hand: "Hey..."

Zhao Chuanxin walked into the government office without looking back.

Oh what, a high-quality Sigma man like me can never be obtained by superficial women like you who only care about appearance.

Seeing what Xiao Ling'e wanted to say, Hu Er grabbed her and said, "Don't be ridiculous."

Xiao Ling'e pouted: "Why am I just fooling around..."

Hu Er frowned: "Lubin Mansion is a place of disputes. I hesitated for a long time before letting you guys come here. I hate the prefect to the core. If you approach the prefect, you will be killed."

Hu Er is very sober. Lord Magistrate, the world calls him the God of War and Zhao Wudi. He is the ceiling of combat power in the world.

But he was still cautious, and the danger was evident.

Xiao Ling'e stamped her feet: "Ignore you."

He twisted around and ran away.

Zhao Chuanxin entered the government office and met Zhang Shouzeng head-on.

"Just in time, He Yan, let me tell you that I have something to do today and can't accompany you for the interview."

Zhang Shouzeng didn't care about this at all, and Zhao Chuanxin usually couldn't catch the shadow.

But he said cautiously: "There is something. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan sent a telegram directly to our Foreign Affairs Bureau to protest against you sending someone to assassinate Eiji Asabuki."

He stared at Zhao Chuanxin closely, trying to find any clues on Zhao Chuanxin's face.

No evidence is needed, as long as Zhao Chuanxin shows an expression, that is evidence.

Zhao Chuanxin took out his cigarette and lit it: "Oh? Really? I always report my grudges face to face, so why would I send someone to assassinate me?"

"Ah?" Zhang Shouzeng was confused by this reaction.

What does it mean?

He added: "Early in the morning, two reporters came to prepare to interview you. This matter is actually nothing to adults. But we have contacted the Arms Limitation Committee of the Hague Peace Conference, and they are discussing whether to let you Join. At this critical moment, this happened."

Zhao Chuanxin had already guessed that Zhao Zhongyi must have sent someone to do it.

His great ancestor was usually silent, but he was very protective of him.

What's Zhao Chuanxin's temperament?

If someone treats him well, no matter the outcome is good or bad, he will not complain.

He gulped and said, "Okay, let's just do the interview. I'll go meet these two reporters."

In the reception room of Lubin Mansion, Zhao Chuanxin met two reporters.

They wore glasses and had yin and yang haircuts, and they were about to speak when they saw Zhao Chuanxin entering the room and getting up.

Zhao Chuanxin waved his hand: "No need to introduce yourself. You guys came so fast. I guess it was the Japanese consortium that paid for it."

One of the reporters looked embarrassed, while the other rolled his eyes and said indignantly: "Prefect Zhao, how can you slander someone?"

"Ah, okay, okay." Zhao Chuanxin said impatiently: "I will take the money, but what I say must be reported truthfully. The Japanese give money, but I, Zhao Chuanxin, will be killed."

The expressions of the two of them were stagnant.

The tall reporter simply asked: "Mr. Zhao, Eiji Asabuki was assassinated in his villa. The assassin left a message - Anyone who offends Zhao will be killed no matter how far away he is. He also left a message to Eiji Asabuki's wife - Assassination, we are even more here Okay. Did you do this?"

"What does it have to do with me?" Zhao Chuanxin looked at him as if he were a fool: "Will every murderer in the future who leaves behind a murderer named Zhao Chuanxin be able to blame all the crimes on me?"

"Ah..." The reporter was speechless when asked back.

There's nothing wrong with the logic.

Seeing that the tall man was defeated, the short reporter asked: "Mr. Zhao, do you think Eiji Asabuki was the murderer who bombed the Lu-Han Railway?"

"Eh? Why are you talking like this? How can you accuse someone of being a murderer without proof?"

"Huh?" the short reporter was confused.

Zhao Chuanxin said in an awe-inspiring manner: "Hmph, people like you who are busy labeling innocent people every day for no reason are all clowns. I am a gentleman and I don't bother to discuss merits and demerits with you."

I blanch...

The two reporters were so upset that they were embarrassed.

What is this thing called?

The tall reporter gritted his teeth: "Prefect Zhao, what you are implying is that you don't think Asabuki Eiji is the murderer?"

"Of course!" Zhao Chuanxin said with determination on his face: "Although it is a coincidence that Mr. Chaofui happened to leave when the Lu-Han Railway train exploded, even if Mr. Chaofui and I had some misunderstandings and even said that he hated me to the bone, even if it seemed that the murderer was Mr. Chaofui . However, if there is no evidence, there is no evidence. I hate people who slander others' innocence the most in my life. If anyone dares to slander others like this, Zhao will be sworn in with him. Even if you two are reporters, you cannot slander Mr. Chaobuki like this. Zhao disagree!"

Zhang Shouzeng who was watching was dumbfounded.

Your Excellency is worthy of being an adult.

But the two reporters, tall and short, cursed in their hearts: Zhuo, how shameless!

Zhao Chuanxin had a sad face: "I am deeply saddened by the death of Eiji Asabuki. Hahaha, that poor man, may his soul rest in peace in heaven. However, the deceased is gone, and the living still have to bear the burden and move forward. Now, I have to continue working with a heavy heart, you two can do it yourself, hehehe..."

Two reporters: "..."

After Zhao Chuanxin finished speaking, he left the conference room on his own.

Zhang Shouzeng couldn't leave, he still had to deal with the aftermath.

Zhao Chuanxin went out and met Yao Jia.

He said to Yao Jia: "I am going on a long trip, but don't make any announcement. I will come back as soon as possible. You and He Yan will take charge of the rest."

Yao Jia looks careless, but is actually very responsible.

Zhang Shouzeng is a stable and mature person.

Yao Jia's eyes lit up: "Sir, who are you going to assassinate this time?"

"Presumptuous!" Zhao Chuanxin said with a straight face, "Can you also discredit a defender of peace like me?"

Shameless person!
