Chapter 189 Yangzhou Night Banquet(1/2)
(Second update! Please give me a monthly ticket!)
Longhai Railway Security School, a school that is not large in scale in the "remote suburbs" of Lianyungang. It is a base under the Ministry of Security for training "security personnel". Every security personnel entering the second part of the Ministry of Security must receive training here.
The training here is never easy. In fact, most of the time, the training here tends to be "self-study". In some courses, everyone can become teachers, but of course, the premise is that they must master the content in the textbook.
After leaving the training ground, Song Cheng ran quickly towards the teaching building. He had a little dust on his face, and the security student's windbreaker was also stained with dust. It was stained when he was knocking down the other party when he was conducting "accusation" training on the training ground.
There was no one in the teacher's office in the teaching building. When he came to the small office with the "principal" sign hanging in the teacher's office, Song Cheng took a breath first to calm his breathing. At the same time, he simply brushed his hair. At this time, he still had some blood on his hands, which was the blood of his classmates. The training here was more inclined to practice, but now he has come to wash it. The director said that the principal would summon him now.
headmaster
It was the first time he was summoned by the principal alone after four months of training in the security school. He didn't know what this meant, but he knew that maybe it was an opportunity, an opportunity to graduate early.
"Report"
"Please come in"
After entering the office, Song Cheng saw the principal sitting behind the desk, and there was a person sitting next to the desk. The man was a stranger. The principal was the deputy director of the security department and the chairman's confidant. Of course, he knew that the person in front of him would determine his future. This was the second time he saw the principal. Compared to the principal he had met at the opening ceremony, the principal seemed very tired at this time, as if...
"Is it Sergeant Song Cheng?"
Suddenly, a sentence interrupted his observation. When the person next to the principal was talking, Zhao Pingpu raised his head and looked at the person in front of him. At this time, his file had been taken out and opened.
"Yes, sir"
The Ministry of Security implements militarized management, and everyone has corresponding military ranks.
"Senior Song Cheng"
"Sir"
"Remember the former director of teaching?"
"Yes, sir, it was the registration chaired by Director Li."
"Your teacher told me that you are good at studying and ranked third in the same period, and you are very good at secret operations."
In the face of praise, Song Cheng was not polite. In his opinion, these praises were in line with his efforts.
“Have you applied for early graduation?”
"Yes, sir, I think I can pass the graduation exam"
Song Cheng hoped that he could graduate early. In this school, he knew that security guards were not as simple as he thought, but it is conceivable that life in the future would be very colorful and he thought he had learned almost everything, so he applied to graduate early.
"Yeah, I agree"
Nodding his head, Zhao Pingpu did not object, and then he looked at him and received a hint from the minister, so he took out a folder.
"If you graduate early, you need to complete a task"
He handed the folder to Song Cheng, and a smile appeared on his face. The minister's meaning was very simple. The security school was Secretary Li's hard work. Even if he wanted to avenge him, let the security guards he trained to do it to comfort Secretary Li's spirit in heaven.
After a rain, the whole of Yangzhou was filled with clear sky and clear air, with a light cloud and a light wind.
The weather seemed good, but Zhang Xun was not at all relaxed. He wanted to spend a few days peacefully and eliminate some complicated things, but he couldn't calm down. It was when he was thinking but unable to calm down. He only heard someone suddenly report outside the door.
"Mr. Xu from Jiangxi is asking for a meeting!"
"Mr. Xu, Jiangxi?"
Listening to this, Zhang Xun was first surprised and then happy.
"Someone is here in the boss!"
The Xu family in the Gang-mouthed world is Zhang Xun's benefactor and master. Zhang Xun never dared to forget the Xu family. If it weren't for the lingering years, he would have gone to the Gang-mouthed world to thank him. Now, someone in the Xu family asked for a meeting, and Zhang Xun would dare to neglect him, "Hurry... please... no, I'll go to greet him in person."
When he ordered the servant, Zhang Xun realized his misconduct and quickly stopped the servant and walked out on his own initiative. This was no longer a "passing in", but out of the house to welcome him.
When he walked outside the door, Zhang Xun saw a young man standing in front of the door. Although he looked very young, he also looked pretty and extraordinary. When the young man saw Zhang Xun, he didn't know Zhang Xun, but he saw a braid on his head and a mane on his lips. Someone followed him closely, and walked out with his official steps. Therefore, it was probably him. He hurriedly bowed and said respectfully.
"Xu Xiwu, Xiaorengang, comes to pay homage to Lord Zhang and pay tribute to Lord Zhang."
Similarly, Zhang Xun didn't know him either. He could not know the young man in front of him. At the age of 23, Zhang Xun left Gang and went to Nanchang. At that time, there was no such person in front of him in this world. He could recognize him, but he heard that he was a Gang and had accent, so he was naturally welcome.
"Since it is the people from Xu's mansion, they are all Zhang's bosses, so there is no need to give a tribute, come into the mansion quickly."
Although Zhang Xun has always had a bad reputation in this northern Jiangsu territory, his expression seemed extremely respectful in front of such a young man, which really made him fall below the glasses of the guards and servants around him. When did they see the look of the Grandmaster? Thinking that the Grandmaster is a nostalgic and affectionate person, he felt relieved.
Xu Xiwu followed Zhang Xun into the living room, someone offered incense tea, and then started chatting. It turned out that Xu Xiwu was a distant brother of Xu Xifu, the young master who was with Zhang Xun, and was also the cousin of Mr. Liu Yuxian. Hearing his cousin Liu Gengtang praised Zhang Xun, he knew that this fellow townsman who was a high-ranking official had not forgotten his hometown, and was in a difficult situation at home, so he came to ask for something to do.
That's why people came here seemed very ashamed, and Xu Xiwu said with a look of dismay.
"I have read the books of sages in Xiakong for ten years, but there is nowhere to be available. I beg Lord Zhang to support him and have a place to stay."
"Since I am the younger brother of Mr. Xu, I am also half of my master Zhang, I must not call you Lord, so let's be brothers."
Zhang Xun never forgets the past, the Xu family, and even more so on.
"I dare not, I dare not." Xu Xiwu said quickly.
"China is a country of etiquette, and great rituals cannot be violated."
"Okay, you can stay in Yangzhou for a few days first, rest and wait for me to find a good place before sending you there."
Xu Xiwu quickly expressed his gratitude and followed the servant to the residence, but no one noticed that a cold light flashed in Xu Xiwu's eyes when he went out.
Although he didn't study much, Zhang Xun's hometown has a strong concept, he was passionate about local charity and was willing to donate generously. After he became famous, he bought two "Jiangxi Association" in Beijing and Tianjin, and settled in Beijing and Tianjin as a fellow villager who was visiting and traveling in Beijing and Tianjin. He also purchased Chongli Hall property in front of the school in Nanchang Prefecture, and was designated as the "Fengxin Association", which provided food and accommodation for the poor students studying in Nanchang. He also built a wharf outside the river bank of Huiminmen in Nanchang, which greatly facilitated Fengxin.
, ships from Jing'an County to Nanchang. In his original hometown of the Zhang family in Chitian Village, it turned out that most of the people in the Zhang family had dilapidated thatched houses. He also invested in most of the people in the building of blue-brick structure buildings for it, and acquired academic fields and academic properties to help poor children of the tribe study. Zhang Xun also invested in building a stone bridge at the south gate and outside the west gate of Fengxin County to facilitate transportation. The stone road from Fengxin to Changtoupo was also funded by Zhang Xun. Even so, Zhang Xun still often told his family.
"Loyalty cannot be moved, and the hometown cannot be forgotten!"
Perhaps this is Zhang Xun's style of dealing with people and things. For example, the "lonely loyal" whom he received from the Qing Dynasty now is probably also because of this kind of personality.
In the past, he always thought about how to repay the favors of the Xu family to him. Now that someone in the Xu family has come, Zhang Xun is naturally very happy and wants to repay the master's kindness again. After Xu Xiwu arrived, he not only sent people to entertain Xu Xiwu, but also accompanied Xu Xiwu to watch the show many times. Finally, he personally helped him contact his official position. It was not until everything was done that he specially invited Xu Xiwu.
"I am in northern Jiangsu now. This place is poor and poor, and the order is not good. I don't want to keep you here. How about sending you to Nanjing?"
Hearing this, Xu Xiwu quickly stood up and replied.
"As long as you have a place to stay, you can do anything, and you dare not ask for it."
"It's your business if you don't ask for it. I have to arrange it well."
Zhang Xun waved his hand and said.
"I have written a letter to Cheng Dequan. Now he is still the governor of Jiangsu, so he has to help me with this matter. I told him that I have a talented junior who wants to go to Jiangnan to plan things, so please make sure to make arrangements."
Then Zhang Xun said again.
"It is best to go to a peaceful and prosperous county to be governor.
When Xu Xiwu heard that he was going to send him to Jiangnan to be the county magistrate, he hurriedly said.
"I'm not talented and knowledgeable, so I really don't dare to take on this great task!"
But Zhang Xun laughed.
"Why are you so stupid? If you ask you to be a county magistrate, just be a county magistrate! How many days will I study? Can't I take care of a large group of county magistrates? What's wrong with it?"
"in this way……"
Xu Xiwu sighed first, then bowed and said.
"I thank you brother for your kindness"
"All my brothers, you're welcome."
Zhang Xun smiled and said that being able to do something for the old boss's people would really make him feel comfortable, after all, this was considered to repay some of the old boss's kindness.
Zhang Xun, who was smiling, did not notice it for a while. When Xu Xiwu bowed, he looked around. There were no other people in the restaurant, only the two of them. The guards in the Marshal's Mansion stood outside the room, and this was the opportunity he had been looking forward to for a long time.
First, he filled Zhang Xun and then poured himself a glass of wine. Xu Xiwu got up and walked towards Zhang Xun.
"Brother, I wish you a cup"
"You're welcome, you're welcome..."
Seeing Xu Xiwu bowing to him again, Zhang Xun smiled and picked up the wine glass and stood up. Just as his eyes narrowed, he saw Xu Xiwu bumping into him.
"Xiwu, you..."
Without waiting for Zhang Xun to speak, he only saw something in his eyes that Xu Xiwu seemed to have something extra in his hand.
"I'm sorry, man... sorry"
Xu Xiwu's Jiangxi accent had now become accent.
In many cases, the brain's reaction is faster than the hands. At this time, Zhang Xun only saw his "brother" with black eyes. Those eyes were ordinary, but the eyes were not. A cold light flashed in his eyes. When the ostentatious sight of the object in his hand, when his brain ordered his body to move, Xu Xiwu's left hand had already reached over and hugged his head. A cold, sharp thing stabbed into the back of his neck, just under the head. At this time, his head was pulled violently, and the knife was inserted into it, completely cutting off the spinal cord.
But at this time, Zhang Xun did not die immediately. When all the muscles' reactions stopped, Xu Xiwu supported his body, but his other hand took the wine glass that had not been thrown away in his hand. All the feelings followed, leaving only a faint burning sensation on his neck. The instant shock made the pain not severe. He tried hard to breathe, but he didn't understand why he could no longer breathe.
His purpose is incredible, but more of it is resentment. He doesn't know or understand. Why is this, why is he...
At this time, Xu Xiwu supported Zhang Xun's body, slowly supported him on the chair, and straightened his body. At this time, Zhang Xun's eyes were full of resentment and looked at Xu Xiwu, and Xu Xiwu also looked at him, but he was just looking at him, without any emotion. At this time, he looked at Zhang Xun's eyes, as if he was looking at something or an object, without any emotion. At this time, Xu Xiwu once again helped Zhang Xun's lower head up.
"This is a greeting from the Ministry of Security"
A sentence came out from Xu Xiwu's voice.
"Do you really think that the Longhai Security Department will ignore you and kill Secretary-General Li?"
Xu Xiwu asked again, his voice was not proud, and his cold tone was filled with contempt. At this time, at the last moment of Zhang Xun's life, he heard Longhai, Longhai Security Department, and Secretary-General Li, but there was no response.
To be continued...
