At night, Pingquanfu military camp.
The fourth battalion commander, the reckless Shi Tang, was playing money games with several of his brothers. Tonight, he was particularly unlucky and lost all night.
So, he stood up and said, "I'm going to take a pee and see if I can change my luck."
"Then you go and come back quickly, I'm waiting for you!" Everyone laughed.
Shi Tang walked out of the camp and swerved to a remote place in the back. He stood there and raised his head, whistling and peeing.
"Don't move! Put your hands up and don't yell, otherwise I'll kill you!" Shi Tang heard a familiar voice coming from behind him, and at the same time, he felt his waist being pressed against something hard. .
"Hero, who are you? You have something to say." Shi Tang didn't dare to look back. Instead, he raised his hand, and he didn't even finish urinating. He was so scared.
"Let me ask you, where is your commander Qin Liang?" the man asked.
"Ah, you said Commander Qin, he is not in the military camp. He has returned to his home in Pingquan Prefecture." "Which street do they live on? Which alley?"
"Commander Qin lives in Qinjia Hutong, Qixia Street, Pingquan Prefecture." Shi Tang seemed to have recognized who the person was, and asked in a trembling voice, "Who are you?"
"Look who I am?" the visitor said.
"You are Zhang Tianhe, oh, no no, Captain Zhang, are you a human or a ghost?" Shi Tang turned around and saw that it was Zhang Tianhe. He was so frightened that he knelt on the ground with a "plop" and kept kowtowing.
"Do you think I am a human or a ghost?" Zhang Tianhe asked him with a seven-star sword in his hand, "I said you are quite ruthless."
"Oh, Captain Zhang, I am also on a mission from the peak, and I cannot disobey my orders. I also know that you are different from other bandits. You are good people." Shi Tang kowtowed like a chicken pecking at broken rice.
"Then tell me, that day on the cliff, why did you shoot the female reporter when no one else shot?"
"I thought she was a female bandit. I was eager to do something good. I just wanted to catch her. I didn't mean to harm you. I didn't mean to shoot you. This was purely a misunderstanding. I just felt strange. I Remember, I clearly hit your heart, how could you be fine?" Shi Tang asked curiously.
"Look, it saved me. The bullet hole is still on it." Zhang Tianhe reached out and took out the pocket watch from his pocket and waved it in front of Shi Tang.
"Captain Zhang, you are truly blessed with great fortune and good fortune. A lucky person has his own destiny." At this moment, Shi Tang said, while Zhang Tianhe was not paying attention, he stretched out his right hand and pulled out the pistol from his waist. He was going to shoot Zhang Tianhe.
It was too late, but soon, Zhang Tianhe kicked his gun away, then stepped forward and stabbed him in the heart.
Shi Tang didn't say a word and was killed on the spot.
Afterwards, Zhang Tianhe got on his horse and went straight to Pingquan Mansion.
Soon, he found Qinjia Hutong on Qixia Street.
He looked at the way out and found a place to tie the horse.
He flew up the wall and leaned down to look into the courtyard.
The mansion of Qin Liang, commander of the fifth battalion, was very large, with at least two to three hundred rooms. It was a rectangular shape, with front and back entrances. The lights in several rooms at the back were still on, and six officers and soldiers were patrolling the courtyard.
Zhang Tianhe tiptoed, taking advantage of the patrolling officers and soldiers to move to the front of the house, and ducked behind the lighted room.
He opened the window paper and peeked inside.
I saw a man and three women playing mahjong in the room. The three women were smeared with makeup and looked evil, and the man was Qin Liang, the Thunderbolt Fire.
"Sixth Aunt, how much money did you win tonight?" one of the women asked.
"Not much, I just won more than a thousand taels," Aunt Six took a puff of cigarette and said, "Aunt Eight, what about you?"
"I didn't win much, I only won a few hundred taels." said the eighth aunt.
"Don't forget it. Just count me as the youngest. I win the most. I won two thousand taels!" Jiu Yita said with a smile.
"Isn't it right? I lost 10,000 taels of silver tonight. I'm better or worse. How come you only have more than 3,000 taels? I've seen it, and none of you are telling the truth." Qin Liang pretended to be angry. explain.
"Master, you said last time that when you lead the troops to defeat the Chenjiayu security team, you will be given a lot of rewards at the summit. Have you paid them?" asked Aunt Jiu.
"Shit! Don't mention it, I get angry whenever I mention it. It's us who charge into the battle, it's us who work hard, but we don't have a share in the bonuses. Zhang Xiluan, the prefect of Pingquan Prefecture, is not a fuel-efficient lamp. He takes advantage of They've all been fished out, but we didn't see a penny." Qin Liang said angrily when he heard this.
"Why? Why is it that you are the ones leading the charge, but he is reaping the benefits from behind? You belong to the Ministry of War, what does it have to do with his prefect's yamen? In that case, next time we suppress bandits, let their yamen do it. "The eighth aunt said.
"Having said that, you don't know something. That Zhang Xiluan is Yuan Shikai's brother. Can I afford to offend him?" Qin Liang said helplessly.
"What's wrong with Yuan Shikai? Isn't Yuan Shikai unreasonable? Leading troops to fight is a matter for the Ministry of War. What does it have to do with their prefect's office? Oh, the benefits belong to him, and the war belongs to you. Is there such a principle in the world? "Sixth Aunt Tai said, "I think you are a coward, a softie, and a bastard. You are good at home, but you are not good when you go out. You are always bullied by others."
Qin Liang had not received the reward in the first place. He was very angry, lost money, and was scolded by several of his women. His face turned red and white.
"Okay, you guys play first, I'll go out for a while and I'll be back soon." Qin Liang said and walked out.
When Zhang Tianhe saw Qin Liang coming out, he turned around and hid in the toilet.
Unexpectedly, Qin Liang also moved to the back to use the toilet.
Zhang Tianhe thought to himself that this was really a narrow road for enemies, so he suddenly ducked behind the toilet door.
Qin Liang didn't know anything about it. He pushed open the toilet door and came in. He stood there, unbuttoned his pants, and urinated.
The space in the toilet was small, and Zhang Tianhe was hiding behind him. He thought this was a perfect opportunity, so he pulled out the seven-star sword with his right hand, and stepped forward with his left hand to cover Qin Liang's mouth to prevent him from shouting. , and then stabbed him several times in the waist.
Qin Liang was unprepared and was killed on the spot without saying a word. Zhang Tianhe opened his chest again, dug out his heart and liver, and cut off Qin Liang's head.
Zhang Tianhe took off his coat, wrapped up the broken pieces, tied it around his waist, turned around and was about to go out, when a group of patrols came towards them.
Zhang Tianhe quickly closed the toilet door, thinking that if this group of patrols really came in, he would fight them. Kill one to get enough money, kill two to earn one.
