,!
Zhao Xin is not the only one trying to sort out his thoughts from the chaos to determine his future position.
In the detention center of Fuldan City, after three heroes from Henan were interrogated and trained by Chen Jishan and the Public Security Police Department for several days, they were suddenly disturbed by a booklet brought by Chen Jishan.
A few days ago, after being kidnapped by Wuhuada and brought back to the Public Security Police Station in Fuldan City. The three brothers kept their word. As soon as they entered the interrogation room, they poured beans out of bamboo tubes and told everything about how the three brothers were found by the people sent by He Shen, what the other party told them, and how they came to Beihai Town. .
The reason why he was able to confess so happily was his defeat at the hands of Chen Jishan; and then Chen Jishan sent a message to Zhao Xin, promising not to kill them, which was the key. However, Chai Rugui and the other two boxers, Wu Zhong and his daughter, Kang Dali, Liu Sanshan and Li Zhang, did not explain anything but hid it in a tacit understanding. They only said that the government invited many people, but they did not know who they were.
Chai Rugui and the others felt that the yamen hall here in Beihai Town was really strange. It was not the kind of yamen hall in Guan Nei. The interrogation venue was not very big, and there was no immediate killing blow. Moreover, the other party even gave me a chair to sit on and answer the question.
All these unexpected actions made everyone feel extremely confused. They thought that they could also ask questions like this?
In fact, the three of them didn't know that if Chen Jishan hadn't stopped them, the security police would have asked the three brothers to "drink some water." People in the martial arts world can be killed but not humiliated. If you really have to resort to means to make them confess, you must kill them afterwards, otherwise the hatred will grow.
Out of curiosity about martial arts people, Zhao Xin was quite concerned about this matter at first. When he heard that the Qing court had hired a group of martial arts masters to come to Beihai Town to plot evil, the man immediately put on his stab-proof clothing and quickly notified Chen Qingsong and others. As a result, people who are interested discovered that a group of big guys in Beihai Town have obviously gained weight on their upper bodies these days.
For this person, the more power and money he has, the more he fears death.
Zhao Xin, who was wearing high-priced stab-proof clothing, still felt uneasy. Thinking of the acupuncture technique often mentioned in martial arts, he asked Chen Jishan about acupuncture.
Unexpectedly, Chen Jishan listened and pondered for a moment, and then explained: "Sir, these are all words of charlatans and charlatans. The boxer's attacks are as fast as lightning. He can't wait to decide the winner in an instant. At most, it only takes a few moves. , where do you have time to find acupuncture points? My master once said that knowing everything is worse than being good at one thing, and a thousand moves are not as good as one master. Besides, today is the age of guns, and fists and kicks can only be used to strengthen the body and self-defense. "
Zhao Xin thought about it, then laughed and ignored it.
When Li Qingwen first entered the detention center, he was completely unimpressed by the thumb-thick iron bars in the cell. Of course, with the abilities of the three brothers, breaking one off would not be a problem.
The problem was that he was waiting for the guard to leave. Just when he was about to try his luck with his back foot, a guard's voice came from above his head: "Get back! Sit down!"
This time, the three brothers were really shocked. Li Qingwen lifted the railing and looked outside. No one was there?
Finally, Li Qingwen discovered something covered in a black shell on the wall of the corridor outside the railing, with a red dot flashing on it. And on the roof of the corridor, there was a small black box hanging. So when Li Qingwen tried to compete with the iron railing again, the sound came from the black box again.
Evil! The yamen in Beihai Town is really evil! There was obviously no guard present, but the other party actually knew what he was doing. So he no longer dared to act rashly and returned to the wooden bed to sit down.
In fact, Fuldan City's security police also had a headache. Director Yonejiro specially arranged the manpower, divided into six shifts a day, to sit in front of the monitor and watch every move of these three people, for fear of getting into trouble.
The six security policemen stared at her for several days, but all of them stared like rabbits with red eyes, sore and swollen. I thought if there were just a few more of them, I might go blind.
This afternoon, Chen Jishan came again and called Chai Rugui out to chat alone for more than half an hour. His words contained solicitation intentions. In Chen Jishan's view, Chai Rugui and the other three are, firstly, of good character, and secondly, their martial arts styles are very suitable for the army.
Chang Naizhou once said when he was still alive: "One who masters my art can be worth a hundred, and a hundred can be worth a thousand. I know that there are extraordinary skills in heaven and earth. There is a time for them, and there is a person for teaching them. They can't be wise." Seeking profit and inducement, coveting what you can get.”
Chang Naizhou is also very strict in recruiting disciples, and the recommender must know his roots and background. Otherwise, people would have to be sent to visit and investigate his hometown to make sure his family background is innocent and his character is impeccable before he can be accepted as a disciple. Even after being accepted as a disciple, he will not immediately teach him with all his money. He will have to examine him repeatedly for many years to make sure that there is no problem with his character.
However, Chai Rugui declined the other party's kindness on the grounds that her family grew up in her hometown in Henan.
In fact, the real reason for Chai Rugui's refusal was that his master Chang Naizhou's elder brother Chang Shizhou was a Jinshi in the seventh year of Qianlong's reign, and served successively as magistrates of Penglai, Wendeng, Shandong, and Yijun County, Shaanxi. If he really followed Beihai Town, once the Qing court discovered it, he would probably implicate the Chang family.
Although what they saw and heard these days made Chai Rugui and the others understand that Beihai Town was not what the Qing court described at all, they still felt that only the court in the south was orthodox; The high-pressure rule of the four generations of emperors was regarded as orthodox even by the Han people in the south, let alone the northerners.
Before leaving, Chen Jishan handed Chai Rugui a small booklet and asked him to go back and read it carefully. Chai Rugui felt quite strange when he saw that there were no words on the cover.
Even though Chai Rugui and the other two were all practicing martial arts, they all attended private schools for several years when they were young. Gao Liugeng also donated his status as a supervisor!
When he returned to the cell and asked Gao Liugeng and Li Qingwen to watch the reading together, who knew that after reading only a few pages, the faces of the three of them became increasingly ugly.
"On the eighth day of the fifth lunar month in the first year of Hongguang, the Qing troops stationed themselves in Guazhou, lined up on the river bank, and took a peek along the river..."
"Yiyou, Nagi issued an order...Jiangyin announced that the county will arrive in the sixth month of Yiyou, and issued an order to Nagi. On the first day of the sixth month of leap year, Zhu Shengxu Yong spoke loudly in Minglun Hall and said: 'The head can be cut off, but the hair cannot be cut off. !'..."
"On August 20th...in the afternoon, there was a huge boil in the city, and then there was a fire. Five hundred young people said to each other: 'You will always die!' They fought at Anli Bridge, killing many people, and died after exhausting their strength. Defeated; the river was more than thirty feet long, and the corpses were as thick as the bridge. The killing lasted until night, and then the troops began to retreat; the roads were full of corpses, and there was no empty well in the house. We stopped in three days."
The three Chai Rugui brothers became more frightened as they read, and finally realized that what was written in this booklet was the history of the bloody suppression of the Qing Dynasty for more than 150 years.
"Brother, is this all true?" Facing Li Qingwen's question, Gao Liugeng also fell into deep thought and could not answer.
The time, place and name of everything in the book are clearly visible, and there are notes behind each description, including which book it comes from and who wrote it. There is even an excerpt from the account of a Western missionary in the second half.
On this day, the three of them didn't have dinner. After dark, they went to bed with their own thoughts and said nothing.
Chai Rugui was lying on the lower bunk of the wooden bed, using the dim light in the corridor to look at a small spider crawling on the upper bunk with wandering eyes. The small gray-brown spider swayed its tentacles, as if this new world was not very familiar yet, and crawled around aimlessly, as if looking for food.
"Master has said before that the best way out for those of us who practice martial arts is to learn martial arts and become a member of the emperor's family. But the court...sigh!" Chai Rugui instinctively didn't want to believe the content in the booklet, but there was so much in it. Every old incident was like thousands of steel needles pricking his heart.
Chai Rugui took out her numb hands and laid her head flat on the bed. Somehow, the song "Man Jiang Hong" by Zhang Huangyan in the album came out of her heart again. Chai Rugui had no literary talent and could barely remember a few sentences.
"Who begs the thieves? Yan Qingxu. Who resists the thieves? Su Wujie. Weeping in the west platform, people's tears turn to blood!"
The little spider that disappeared into the darkness on the other side slowly crawled back under the mottled light and shadow, and finally stopped on top of Chai Rugui's head, as if deciding whether to make its nest here...
"Liu Geng's breathing sounded a little messy. It seemed like he wasn't asleep either." Chai Rugui listened to the sound, then put a hand under his head to rest on it.
"If so, if what is written in that book is true, then the Han people have a blood feud with this court! Then my three brothers help the court, wouldn't they become the thief and the father!"
He remembered the first article in the "Seven Tests" of the disciples of Changjia Quan, and asked what was right and what was wrong, and looked at their aspirations. At this time of great right and wrong, where should your "ambition" be directed?
At dawn, Chai Rugui, who had been worried all night, took the opportunity when the guards came to deliver food and asked to see Chen Jishan. Gao Liugeng and Li Qingwen were surprised, but Chai Rugui didn't explain.
An hour later, Chen Jishan arrived happily. Seeing Chai Rugui's appearance, he said in a deep voice, "Senior brother, did you not sleep well?"
Across the iron railing, Chai Rugui stared at Chen Jishan with two dark circles under his eyes and asked, "Is everything in the book true?"
"If I say anything false, I, Chen Jishan, will be pierced by thousands of arrows and struck by five thunders from heaven."
"Xie also said that Prince Zhao would restore the country of the Han Dynasty and ensure that everyone in the world would have food to eat, clothing to wear, and the ability to study and practice etiquette?"
"Senior brother, isn't this what King Zhao has done with us when he has been outside the Pass for so many years?"
Chai Rugui fell silent again, and Chen Jishan did not ask further questions. He understood that the other party was at a critical moment in the battle between heaven and man.
"Then...okay. I'll stay and let Liu Geng and Qing Wen go back. Liu Geng's family has a big family, so I'm afraid it will be troublesome if they don't go back; Qing Wen's family has an old lady who needs to be filial, and I'm alone, so that's okay care."
Chen Jishan was overjoyed. Unexpectedly, before he could answer, Li Qingwen behind Chai Rugui shouted: "Brother, do you want to follow them?!"
Chai Rugui turned around and nodded slowly: "I have thought clearly. I will change my name instead of my real name."
Li Qingwen gritted his teeth and walked to the railing and said to Chen Jishan: "Senior Brother Chen, if you can bring my mother and siblings over safely, I will follow you! As the saying goes, brothers are brothers in fighting tigers. Senior brother is here alone. , I’m not worried!”
Gao Liugeng's face turned dark, and he thought to himself that you two are so dishonest! Let me go back alone. But his words were stuck in his throat, and he swallowed them back. Unlike Chai Rugui and Li Qingwen, the Gao family was a landowner and there were dozens of families in Zhuangzi, but his cousin was still a member of the imperial family.
Chen Jishan nodded and said: "I will report to the adults right away. If there is no problem with him, the three senior brothers will be able to come out today. Then I will arrange a place for you to stay and rest for a few days before arranging the rest. .”
Li Qingwen said: "Don't! Mr. Wu needs to tell you quickly. Your quick guns are so powerful that they are really going to hurt your harmony. It will be difficult to deal with in the future."
"What!" Chen Jishan was stunned and said hurriedly: "Old boxer Wu is here too?!"
Three hours later, in Xingkaihu Sixth Village, located twenty miles northeast of Fuldan City, security police armed with long and short guns surrounded a small courtyard at the east end of the village.
In the courtyard surrounded by the fence, Wu Rong raised her eyebrows when she heard the sound. She picked up a big white pole at the door and said without looking back: "Dad, there's nothing to be afraid of! You're only twenty." I can take care of this yamen servant by myself."
Wu Zhong walked out of the house with his hands behind his back, looked around, and then said in a deep voice: "Don't move! Didn't you see that they all have muskets? The government officials here are different from those in Guan."
Wu Rong sneered: "What are you afraid of? Dad, I will protect you and leave first!"
A security policeman holding a revolver outside the hospital said loudly: "Girl, what Daddy said is right! This gun doesn't have long eyes. It can make two holes at a time. No matter how fast it is, it can't be as fast as the bullet. I advise you to put down your weapon and surrender. This is It’s the only way out for you two!”
"Bah! A bunch of rebels are worthy of negotiating terms with this girl?!"
At this time, there were slight footsteps outside the courtyard. They stopped suddenly outside the courtyard door. Only one person coughed slightly, and then said loudly: "Are they Mr. Wu and Miss Wu inside? Can you come in and talk?"
"It's your aunt..."
"Hey!" Wu Zhong had a straight face, interrupted quickly, and said in a deep voice: "Since you are all here, come in and talk."
As soon as the courtyard door opened, Chen Jishan, wearing a military uniform of the Northern Navy, walked in. He walked to the courtyard, saluted Wu Zhongshen, raised his hands and said, "Mr. Wu, I have long admired your name! I am Chen Jishan, now the commander of the first company of the Beihai Navy Guard Regiment."
Wu Zhong and his daughter looked at each other and thought to themselves, what kind of official is the company commander? But judging from this man's attire, he should be an officer in the military. So he nodded and said: "Your Excellency brought so many officials here and surrounded my courtyard. Do you dare to ask my father and daughter if they have violated the royal laws here?"
Chen Jishan smiled slightly and said: "Mr. Wu, what are you and your daughter going to do in Beihai Town? You and I both know what they are doing, so let's not beat around the bush. Let's go with the junior and explain the matter clearly. I will give you and Miss Wu a gift." Get on the boat and return home.”
"Bah!" Wu Rong's eyes widened, and he shook the big gun with one hand. The gun made a buzzing sound. "Looking at your pace, you've also practiced martial arts. I'll tell you if you can win!"
Chen Jishan shook his head and said: "Mr. Wu's big gun is famous all over the world, but juniors don't dare to do the same thing."
When Wu Rong heard that the other party only mentioned her father but not her, she looked down on him, and she immediately became angry. She shook her arms and turned the big pole in her hand. With a slight lift, she lifted up another big white pole under the eaves and flew towards Chen Jishan. Chen Jishan didn't even want to hide. He raised his hand and held the big pole firmly in his hand.
Wu Zhong found these two white wax poles in the woods a few days ago. He wanted to never leave his hands and practice twice a day to maintain his condition. However, if you are boxing, you will always be noticed, but with Lian Jin holding a big pole, it is difficult for outsiders to see Mingtang.
Wu Rong took a few steps forward and was only three or four meters away from Chen Jishan. The big pole retracted and extended, holding a quarter of the tail with both hands, and shouted: "Come on!"
Chen Jishan looked at Wu Zhong and saw that the other party was silent, so he had to hold his fists at Wu Zhong and Wu Rong respectively, stretched out his left toe and raised the big pole.
In ancient times, practical martial arts were mostly based on weapons. Folks generally did not use guns in practice, but used big poles instead. The big gun is also known as the "King of Hundreds of Weapons", so no matter which brand's marksmanship it is, as long as it focuses on actual combat, it is inseparable from the eight basic marksmanship skills. That is to say, the upper, middle and lower roads, inside and outside the circle, plus the leather gun and the poke gun.
Wu Rong had obtained her father's true legacy over the years. The big pole in her hand was shaking, and spears shot out from the tip of the pole, and they were pierced towards Chen Jishan. Chen Jishan stepped firmly with his left foot, followed with his right heel, rounded his waist and stepped steadily, twisting his waist and wrapping his arms. He suddenly exerted force, shook the big stick in his hand, and stabbed him with the "Green Dragon Out of the Water" move. In the blink of an eye, the two club heads had collided with each other three or four times.
Chen Jishan's foundation is Chen Family Boxing, and the Chen Family's Thirteen Spears require a strong foundation in boxing. If you don't practice well in boxing, and you're not proficient in body, technique, and footwork, you won't be able to use a gun at all.
The security police who were watching outside could not understand what the two men were doing, so they just made noises and cheered Chen Jishan loudly.
Wu Zhong, who was standing at the door of the house, watched for a while and saw that every time Chen Jishan fired a shot, he used a combination of force from his crotch, waist and arms, and the force was extremely strong. His expression became more and more solemn, and when his daughter and Chen Jishan were separated, he shouted loudly: "Wait a minute! You are using the Chen family's Thirteen Guns! You are from Chenjiagou in Wen County!"
"The boy is not good at academics, so Mr. Wu is laughing at him."
Although Wu Rong looked unhappy, she was a woman after all. After touching Chen Jishan back and forth for more than a dozen times, her forehead was sweating and she couldn't bear it anymore.
"Who is your respected master?" Wu Zhong sighed secretly, knowing that even if he knocked Chen Jishan down today, his father and daughter would not be able to run far. Rather than this, it would be better to come and go easily.
These days, he has almost understood that as a commoner, he can't even enter Beihai Town, let alone meet Zhao Xin.
Before Chen Jishan came, he had already thought about telling the truth. Wu Zhong and Chai Rugui were different, so he said, "My master is Chen Youfu. I wonder if Mr. Wu has ever known each other?"
Why? Wu Zhong stomped his feet after hearing this, and quickly said to his daughter: "Rong'er, stop fighting! I haven't paid homage to your brother Chen yet, he is your uncle Guo's apprentice!"
