Chapter 16: Search and arrest in Beijing

The train rushed northward with rolling black smoke. Chen Zikun was wearing a major uniform and sitting in the car with a Western command knife in his hand. The two veterans Wang Degui and Li Changsheng stood on the left and right, just like the two generals of Hum and Ha, and Zhao Yufeng was wearing a mullet gun cross-body, which was even more 20,000 to 50,000.

The five-day Zhi-Anhui War has ended successfully. The next thing is extremely easy. It is nothing more than arresting war criminals and traitors, getting promoted and making money and having fun, looking forward to a bright future, and everyone is full of spring breeze.

Wang Degui and Li Changsheng have been in the army for twenty years and have been unknown. The experiences of these two days have changed their mentality. It turns out that being a soldier can not only have enough food, but also make a name for themselves. No matter how unbearable people are, they all have vanity. Once this vanity is aroused, it will be out of control.

The two old fried dough sticks have always been like soldiers wearing hats and military uniforms. Even when they go to battle, they have a few sorghum stubborn straws in their bullet bags to make up for their numbers. When they encounter anything, they always look careless. Now they have changed drastically from their heart to their image. They have turned yellow cowhide bullet belts around their waists, a crested gun on each side, and a flower mechanism and a machete behind them. They are armed with murderous intent to their teeth.

Zhao Yufeng was not vague. It was a hot day, and his military uniform was meticulous and stood beside Chen Zikun with aura and played the role of an adjutant. Although the "supervisor" had not been officially appointed, he was still a leader of his subordinates just a few days ago.

Chen Zikun took a cigarette and held it in his mouth. Zhao Yufeng immediately reached over the lighter to help him ignite it, and his movements were natural and quick.

"Thank you." Chen Zikun said, taking out the list Wu Peifu gave him.

"Why are you and I? I, Zhao Yufeng, will be your adjutant in the future." Adjutant Zhao said with a smile.

Chen Zikun smiled faintly and glanced at the list. It was full of familiar names, nothing more than being among the Anhui politicians and soldiers, Xu Shuzheng and Duan Zhigui, among them, there were Yao Yilei's father and the deputy director of the transportation, Yao Qizhen, but strangely, there were big fish and small fish, and Duan Qirui, the largest leader of the Anhui gang, was not on the list.

Changxindian is very close to Beijing, and it is almost time to drive to Zhengyangmen West Railway Station. The train stopped and the pistol company jumped out of the train and gathered in the whole team. After counting the number of people, the company commander ran to Chen Zikun and saluted: "Report to the commander, the pistol company has been assembled, and there are actually 150 people. Please give an order."

Chen Zikun returned the greeting and said, "Stop!"

One hundred and fifty soldiers were all at a loss, and they came in a hurry. They didn't have time to change into regular military uniforms. Each of them had a white cloth wrapped around their arms and wrote two black words "military police" with a brush to show that they were law enforcement forces, not rioters.

Chen Zikun glanced at everyone, and the soldiers he swept over all raised their chests. After two battles, everyone really admired this cook who came out of nowhere. No matter how hard the Anhui Army could not help but fight, they were also fighting with real swords and guns on the battlefield. The soldiers were all honest and straightforward. Whoever dared to tie a detonator into the tiger's den would be convinced.

"Standing at attention!" Chen Zikun shouted, and the sound of his heels being closed together again.

Chen Zikun is very clear about the things in this queue, so he likes to hear such uniform sounds, especially when he is standing in front.

"Brothers, we are now a military police company that is ordered to capture the traitors. Every move is related to the face of the Third Division and the face of the Grand Commander. I will remember it clearly. Be more polite when arresting people. Don't steal other people's things and tease their wives, otherwise you will be able to hear clearly if you are engaged in military law!"

"I heard it clearly!" The soldiers agreed with a loud bang, and Chen Zikun waved his hand: "Get out!"

After leaving the train station, the military police recruited a taxi. Chen Zikun and Zhao Yufeng got into the car. Old Wang and Lao Li stood on the pedals on both sides. The military police followed behind and ran forward, and a group of men rushed straight to the Army headquarters.

The Beiyang Army headquarters was located in Princess Lao Hejing's mansion not far away. When the military police of the anti-rebellion army arrived, the sentry at the door immediately surrendered. Chen Zikun rushed into the office of the deputy commander Xu Shuzheng with a large mullet on the nose.

The office was empty, and the phone kept ringing on the large Western-style desk. Chen Zikun stepped forward and grabbed the phone and asked, "Who?"

"Youzheng, I am Duan Zhigui. I heard that Wu Peifu's soldiers have entered Beijing. What do you think?" A panic sound came from the microphone.

Chen Zikun laughed: "Commander Duan, wait for me at home, don't run around." After that, he hung up the phone and ordered Zhao Yufeng to say, "Take a row of people to catch Duan Zhigui, let's take action separately."

Zhao Yufeng led his troops to go. Chen Zikun opened the drawer and flipped it around. He found a diary with a black leather cover. When he opened it, he found it was densely filled with words. He didn't have time to look closely and stuffed it into his pocket. He then flipped it around in the filing cabinet, hoping to find valuable documents, but there was nowhere to finish reading the vast number of documents, so he simply overturned the entire cabinet to the ground.

Suddenly, a document marked by the Police Department attracted his attention. When he picked it up, he found that it was the criminal file produced by the Police Department during the May 4th period last year. He flipped through pages and was all his own inmates. When he turned to the last page, he obviously had a page of paper torn off.

Chen Zikun felt a stern heart. Last year, the scene of the scene in Liushu Hutong slums came to his mind. The Japanese spy carried such a page of archives in his arms, which contained his own information.

His own information was deliberately leaked to the Japanese by Xu Shuzheng! Yanhong was indirectly killed by Xu Shuzheng!

Chen Zikun jumped up in a panic, quickly walked out of the office, and greeted his subordinates: "Let's go to Shuncheng County Prince's Mansion!"

...

Shuncheng County Prince's Mansion is Xu Shuzheng's mansion. When the Anhui clan took over the power, it was one of the most lively places in Beijing. There was a constant carriage at the door every day, but now the door is deserted and there is no ghost at the deserted gate.

The military police company opened to the gate of the royal palace and smashed the door directly to search for Xu Shuzheng. The success and defeat of the enemy. The Xu family, who had been glorious in the past, could only gather in the hall with fear and be inspected. Only his nephew, Xu Tingge, was angry and loudly accused the military police of violating human rights and violating the Constitution.

"Do you have a search warrant? Do you have an arrest warrant? Why do you break into the door? I want to go to Dali Yuan to accuse you." Young Master Xu made a fuss. The military police ignored him at all and directly hit the back of his head with a gun. The whole world became quiet.

Shuncheng County Prince's Mansion was searched for the sky, but Xu Shuzheng still found no figure. According to his family's confession, Xu Shuzheng hid in the Six Kingdoms Hotel in Dongjiaomin Lane early in the morning.

"Let's go!" Chen Zikun waved his hand and took the military police away, leaving only the yard with a mess.

Xu Tingge, who had a big bump on his head, was helped up by his servant Xu Er, and cursed: "This group of robbers, rebels!"

Xu Er hurriedly covered the young master's mouth: "Speak quietly, they haven't walked far yet."

Neither the master nor the servant recognized him, and the one who led the troops to search the house was the old acquaintance Chen Zikun.

...

Chen Zikun led his troops straight to Anfu Hutong. This time he finally failed. He caught more than a dozen criminals on the list here. Then he led a squad of military police to Yao Mansion.

When he revisited the old place, his identities were already very different. Standing outside the large iron gate of Yao Mansion, Chen Zikun was filled with emotion. He sorted out his military uniform and asked his subordinates to guard the door. He took Lao Wang and Lao Li to knock on the door.

In Yao's mansion, there was a mess, and the bed was covered with soft and soft items, gold bars and silver jewelry, countless silk cheongsams and fur coats, and opened the lid of the suitcase and placed it on the floor. Mrs. Yao was tidying up and crying: "Why did you lose so quickly? Didn't you say that Xu Shuzheng won the battle on the Eastern Front a few days ago?"

Chief Yao was holding an ivory cigarette mouth in his mouth and paced irritably. After hearing this, he suddenly stopped and said, "How can a soldier be defeated without fighting spirit? It's just that the general situation is over. It's too late to say anything. I said, "You should hurry up. If you are so slow, it will be too late for Wu Peifu's troops to enter the city."

As he was speaking, the servant's exclamation came from downstairs: "Master, there are a group of soldiers outside."

Vice President Yao hurried to the window. Through the dense branches and leaves, he could see that there was indeed a team of soldiers outside the yard. His uniform was different from those of Xu Shuzheng's soldiers, and his arms were wrapped with military police armbands.

"Oh no, Wu Peifu has entered the city." Deputy Chief Yao threw the cigarette mouth and didn't even have time to take the suit. He hurriedly threw a few gold bars and a few pieces into the suitcase. He grabbed him and pulled his wife to run downstairs. As soon as he ran downstairs, the door opened. A young officer walked in with two soldiers in a fierce manner. The big machete behind the soldier was as dazzling as blood. The lady cried with a wow.

The suitcase in Chief Yao's hand also fell to the ground, and he sat dejectedly on the sofa, with a trace of hair falling on his forehead, and he took out a cigarette to light it, but he wiped the match several times but didn't even get it.

A lighter reached over and helped Director Yao lit the cigarette.

Chief Yao raised his head suspiciously, his eyes suddenly widened, "Why are you...you?"

The lady squatting on the ground wiping her tears also raised her head. After seeing the person clearly, she immediately said happily: "Xiao Chen, it's you."

Chen Zikun said: "Yes, it's me, is Yao Yilei here?"

The lady suddenly realized: "Leilee went to Japan. She has been thinking about you all the time. She cried the whole day she left. Xiao Chen, you and you, Uncle Yao, have always been very supportive of your marriage, but there has been no news about you."

Chen Zikun said: "I have written fifteen letters in the past year. Have you not received them?"

The lady was speechless, of course she received the letter, but she instructed the doorman to throw away any letters sent to the lady by inexplicable people.

When he was embarrassed, the servant Afu ran back to his room quickly, took out a stack of envelopes and said, "The letters are all here."

The lady breathed a sigh of relief and secretly praised Afu as a person with a heart. She said, "Yes, yes, I told Afu to keep all the letters and show them to her when Leilei comes back."

Chen Zikun naturally had no need to expose such a bad lie. He just cared about Yao Yilei's whereabouts: "Where is Miss Yao?"

"I'm going to be back when I study in Japan." The lady replied carefully.

Chen Zikun was silent for a while and said, "I am going to attack the military police in the rebel army to attack the advance captain of the military police. On the order of General Wu, come and capture the traitor Yao Qizhen. Have you ever seen this person?"

Chief Yao opened his eyes wide in surprise, not understanding how Chen Zikun said this. But the wife immediately reacted and said repeatedly: "I haven't seen it before, I haven't seen it before."

Chen Zikun continued: "Since the criminal has escaped, let's retreat!"

Old Wang and Li knew it well, and did not say it out loud, and followed Chen Zikun out of Yao Mansion.

Chen Zikun looked back at Yao Yilei's bedroom window on the second floor, and felt sad. This relationship was about to come to an end.
