Chapter 77 first quarter

In front of a tunnel at the intersection of Beiping, Hebei, and Tianjin, a group of soldiers was setting up roadblocks at the entrance of the tunnel. The officer yelled: "Everyone, be more energetic and keep your eyes wide open! If the two men and one woman mentioned above pass through here , let me arrest you first! The woman must live! If you catch the right person, Master Duan will reward you heavily! The total is 10,000 oceans! Do you hear me clearly?" The soldiers were so excited that they answered eagerly, "Yes!" The officer shouted: "Ten thousand oceans! You should remember clearly, don't try for a few small money, let the money tree go!"

"Yes!" The soldiers shouted again in unison. This tunnel is the only way to enter Tianjin in the vicinity. On one side is a cliff, on the other side is a steep slope, and the bottom is a rushing stream. It would take two or three hours to bypass this tunnel. These soldiers just received a military order from their superiors an hour ago, requiring them to quickly set up roadblocks on the side of the tunnel, and thoroughly investigate those who are going to Tianjin. The targets are Zhang Xian, Liu Yin, and Li Yi. There is a general description of what it looks like, height, fat and thin, etc.

Seeing that the road was blocked, the carriages and horses on the main road had no choice but to step forward with a sigh and accept the soldiers' interrogation. The soldiers were greedy for rewards, so they cheered up and searched the ground very carefully. They would not let people hide firewood, boxes, etc., even under the frame of the car. If two men and one woman passed by, no matter how old or young, they would catch them first. Aside, he scratched his beard and pulled his hair to see if there was any camouflage.Not long after, three or four groups of suspicious people were caught, and they were held aside and pointed at guns, so as not to make any noise.

A dusty car approached the tunnel, was stopped by soldiers, and slowly stopped in front of the roadblock. Those who can drive a car these days are either rich or expensive, and they are usually not easy to offend. Although the soldiers are in awe, but there are military orders and rewards here, they bite the bullet and go up for questioning. The officer walked to the car window, snapped a military salute, and said, "Sir, where are you going?" The car window was rolled down, Zhang Xian showed his face in a top hat and sunglasses, and said indifferently: "Tianjin! Get out of the way, we have something urgent!"

The officer took a few glances at Zhang Xian, then looked into the car, only to see Liu Yin sitting in the back seat, dressed very luxuriously, also wearing a western-style lady's hat, and glanced coldly at the officer outside the car, then He turned his head away, ignoring him. The officer trembled in his heart, frowned, and said to Zhang Xian, "Sir, is it just the two of you?" Zhang Xian hummed: "There is a third person? Which unit are you from? If you dare to block my way, do you still want to live?" The officer smirked and said, "I'm sorry, we are also acting impartially, and military orders are hard to violate! Sir and Miss, please be considerate and considerate, please come down first, we will check the things in the car before you go?"

Zhang Xian scolded: "Presumptuous! How many brains do you have, dare to check my car? Quickly remove the roadblock! I've been delayed, it's good for you!" The officer laughed and said, "Sir, what's your address, and who is this lady?" Zhang Xian scolded: "Will you let me go?" The officer's tone also became harsh: "Please get out of the car first and accept the inspection!" Liu Yin said at this time: "Forget it! Let them check it! It's no big deal, this military lord, should you ask me to get out of the car?" The officer smiled, anyway, regardless of whether he was the person to be arrested, it would be beneficial to be more polite to this lady, so he hurried over to open the door for Liu Yin.The other soldiers thought it was time to check the car, so they breathed a sigh of relief and cleared the intersection a bit.

As soon as the officer's hand touched the handle of the car, there was a bang on the accelerator, and the car rushed out like an arrow from the string, knocking the officer over to the ground. With a bang, the car knocked the barricade into the air, and sped away without stopping. The officer jumped up and shouted: "Catch them! Catch them! Shoot!" He took out the pistol in his waist and fired at the rear of the car! The soldiers also rushed over, pulled the bolts of their guns, and fired continuously at the car. But the speed of the car was too fast, and it drove out of the range in the blink of an eye and disappeared.

The officer yelled and dragged a soldier, shouting: "Hurry up! Go to the battalion headquarters! Send a telegram to the top, saying that a suspicious car broke through the roadblock and headed towards Tianjin! There was a man and a woman in the car. He might be the one to catch!" Located in the Beiping garrison camp in the eastern suburbs of Beiping, Duan Shizhang, Liu Steward and the garrison commander Zhou Jianxing were sitting in the big room.Duan Shizhang was in the middle, and Commander Zhou and Steward Liu sat obediently on both sides, all three of them were silent. The tea on Duan Shizhang's table was already cold, and he didn't take a sip.He furrowed his brows tightly, staring at the ground all the time, and grabbed and shook his right hand fiercely.

The room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Commander Zhou glanced at Steward Liu, turned his head and said cautiously to Duan Shizhang: "Master Duan, if there is any situation, we will be notified immediately. You should pay attention to your health." Butler Liu also said, "Master, they can't escape." Duan Shizhang snorted, but did not speak. There was another silence. Zhou Jianxing and Liu Butler looked at each other and closed their mouths. They knew that Duan Shizhang could not be provoked at this time, and they dared not speak again. "Report...report!" An orderly rushed in frantically holding a telegram aloft, shouting, "Commander Zhou! There is news! We found them!"

Duan Shizhang, Steward Liu, and Commander Zhou jumped up from their seats almost at the same time. Commander Zhou grabbed the messenger and shouted, "What should I say?" Panting anxiously, the messenger unfolded the telegram, handed it to Commander Zhou, and said at the same time: "At Xiaotahe Pass, a car broke through the roadblock and headed towards Tianjin! There was a man and a woman in the car, the man was about thirty How old, the woman dresses very expensively, and she looks like she is almost thirty!" Commander Zhou quickly read the telegram and handed it to Duan Shizhang with a happy expression on his face.

Duan Shizhang didn't answer, he sneered twice: "Don't look at it, it's them! Damn, their legs are really fast! Are you going to escape to Tianjin?" Butler Liu said: "Master! Could it be that they want to go to sea? Flee to sea?" Duan Shizhang snorted: "Mom! You really know how to think! Commander Zhou, immediately send an order to surround Tianjin!" Commander Zhou hurriedly ordered the messenger: "Did you hear that! Hurry up!" The messenger was stunned, and immediately stood at attention and shouted: "Yes!" and ran out in a hurry. Duan Shizhang shouted: "Prepare the car, let's go to Tianjin! Commander Zhou, come with me!" Commander Zhou and Steward Liu hurriedly agreed, and the three walked out of the big house quickly. Soon, five cars were in front, followed by three military vehicles full of soldiers, drove out of the barracks, raised yellow sand all over the sky, and rushed towards Tianjin. In the streets of Tianjin at dusk, it is time for dinner, people come and go in front of the taverns, and street vendors are still shouting hard, making it extremely lively.
