Chapter 189 Yangzhou Night Banquet(1/2)
(Second update! Please vote for me!)
Longhai Railway Security School, this small school located in the "outer suburbs" of Lianyungang, is a base for training "security personnel" under the Ministry of Security. Every person who enters the second section of the Ministry of Security
Security guards are required to receive training here.
The training here is never easy. In fact, most of the time, the training here is more inclined to "self-study". In some courses, anyone can become a teacher, but of course the premise is that he must master the content in the textbook.
After leaving the training ground, Song Cheng ran quickly towards the teaching building. There was a little dust on his face, and the windbreaker of the security student was also stained with dust. It was the "arrest" training on the training ground.
Sometimes, it was stained when knocking the opponent down.
There was no one in the teacher's office in the teaching building. When he came to the small office with the name "Principal" in the teacher's office, Song Cheng took a breath first to make his breathing steady, and at the same time briefly brushed his hair.
At that time, there was still some blood on his hands, which was the blood of his classmates. The training here was more focused on actual combat, but now it was too late to wash it off. The dean said that the principal would summon him now.
headmaster
After four months of training at the security school, he was summoned alone by the principal for the first time. He didn't know what this meant, but he knew that maybe this was 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 another person sitting beside the desk. That person was a stranger. The principal was the deputy minister of security and a close confidant of the chairman. Of course, he knew,
The person in front of him will determine his future. This is the second time he has seen the principal. Compared with the principal he saw at the opening ceremony, the principal at this time looked very tired, as if...
"Is this Sergeant Song Cheng?"
Suddenly a sentence interrupted his observation. When the person next to the principal who was speaking was asking questions, Zhao Pingpu raised his head and looked at the person in front of him. At this time, he had taken out his file and opened it.
"Yes, sir"
The Security Department implements militarized management, and everyone has a corresponding military rank.
"Sergeant Song Cheng"
"Sir"
"Remember the former dean of students?"
"Yes, sir, it is Director Li who presided over the registration."
"Your teacher told me that you studied well and ranked third in the same period. You are very good at covert operations."
Song Cheng was not polite when faced with compliments. In his opinion, these compliments were in line with his efforts.
"Have you ever applied for early graduation?"
"Yes, sir, I think I can pass my graduation exam."
Song Cheng hopes that he can graduate early. In this school, he knows that security guards are not as simple as he imagined, but he can imagine that becoming a security guard will lead a very colorful life in the future.
I have almost finished my studies, so I applied to graduate early.
"Well, I agree"
Zhao Ping nodded, showing no objection. Then he looked towards him, and upon receiving the minister's hint, he took out a folder.
"If you graduate early, you need to complete a task."
He handed the folder to Song Cheng with a smile on his face. The minister's meaning was very simple. The security school was the hard work of Secretary-General Li. Since he wanted to avenge him, then let these security guards trained by him
I asked the staff to do it, so as to comfort Secretary-General Li’s spirit in heaven.
After a rain, the whole Yangzhou looks like the sky is clear and the air is clear, and the clouds are light and the wind is light.
The weather seemed good, but Zhang Xun's heart was not at all relaxed. He wanted to spend a few days quietly and eliminate some complicated things, but he couldn't make up his mind. It was when he couldn't make up his mind that he just listened.
Suddenly someone called outside the door.
"Mr. Xu from Jiangxi wants to see you!"
"Mr. Xu from Jiangxi?"
Hearing this, Zhang Xun was first surprised and then happy.
"Someone from my boss is here!"
The Xu family in Gangzuitou was Zhang Xun's great benefactor. Master, Zhang Xun never dared to forget the Xu family. If he hadn't been wandering around in the past few years, he would have gone to Gangzuitou to express his gratitude. Now, Xu
Someone in the house asked for a meeting, Zhang Xun would dare to neglect him, "Quickly... please... no, I will go to meet you personally."
When instructing the servant, Zhang Xun realized his impoliteness, quickly stopped the servant, and took the initiative to go out. This was no longer "passing in", but leaving the house to greet 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 handsome and distinguished. When the young man saw Zhang Xun - he didn't know Zhang Xun,
I could see that he had braids on the back of his head and a beard around his mouth. He was accompanied by someone when he was moving, and he walked out with official steps, so it was probably him——" He bowed hurriedly and said respectfully.
"Xiao Rengang's mouth-talking Xu Xiwu came here to pay homage to Mr. Zhang and express his regards to Mr. Zhang."
Similarly, Zhang Xun didn't know him. He couldn't possibly know the young man in front of him. When Zhang Xun left Gangzuitou and went to Nanchang at the age of 23, the person in front of him didn't exist in the world at that time.
I recognized this man, but I heard that he was from Gangzuitou and had a different accent, so I naturally welcomed him as well.
"Since they are coming from the Xu Mansion, they are all Zhang's bosses. There is no need to salute. Come into the house quickly."
Although Zhang Xun has a bad reputation in this area of northern Jiangsu, in front of such a young man, his demeanor was extremely respectful, which was beyond the eyes of the surrounding guards and servants. When had they ever seen the commander look like this?
I feel relieved now that the Marshal is a man who misses the past and misses love.
Xu Xiwu followed Zhang Xun into the living room, where someone offered fragrant tea, and they started chatting. It turned out that Xu Xiwu was a distant cousin of Xu Xifu, the son of Zhang Xun who was studying with him at that time, and he was also the nephew of Mr. Liu Liu Yuxian. He could hear his expression
Brother Liu Gentang praised Zhang Xun, knowing that this fellow countryman who had become a high official had not forgotten his hometown and was also in a difficult situation at home, so he came here to ask for something to do.
In this way, he seemed very ashamed to be here, Xu Xiwu said with an embarrassed look on his face.
"I have been studying the books of sages for ten years in Xia Kong, but there is nowhere to use them. I beg Mr. Zhang to help me a little bit and find a place to stay."
"Since he is a younger brother of Xu Gongzi, he is also half of my master Zhang. We must not call you sir anymore. Let's treat each other as brothers."
Zhang Xun never forgets the past, the Xu family, and the kindness of the past.
"Don't dare, don't dare." Xu Xiwu said quickly.
"China is a country of etiquette, and great etiquette cannot be violated."
"Okay, you stay in Yangzhou for a few days and have some rest. I'll find a good place before I send you there."
Xu Xiwu quickly expressed his gratitude and followed the attendant to his residence. However, no one noticed the cold light flashing in Xu Xiwu's eyes when he went out.
Although he did not read much, Zhang Xun had a strong sense of his hometown, was keen on local public welfare undertakings, and was willing to donate generously. After he became successful, he purchased houses in Beijing and Tianjin and bought two "Jiangxi Guild Halls", and settled down as a guest in Beijing and Tianjin.
and traveling compatriots; also purchased the Chongli Hall property in front of Nanchang Prefecture School and established it as the "Fengxin Association" to provide food and accommodation for Fengxin's poor students studying in Nanchang; and built a pier on the river bank outside Nanchang Huimin Gate.
It greatly facilitated the transportation of ships between Fengxin and Jing'an counties in Nanchang. In his hometown of Zhang's family in Chitian Village, most of the Zhang family's original thatched houses were built in dilapidated thatched houses. He also invested most of his money to build blue brick buildings and purchase a school field.
, school industry, supporting poor children in the family to study; Zhang Xun also funded the construction of a stone bridge outside the south gate and west gate of Fengxin County to facilitate transportation; the gravel road from Fengxin to Changtoupo, which is 100 miles away, was also built by Zhang Xun.
Even so, Zhang Xun still told his family from time to time.
"Loyalty cannot be transferred, nor can one's family be forgotten!"
Perhaps this is Zhang Xun's way of dealing with people, like the "lonely loyal" who repays his favor to the Manchus now. I am afraid that this is also the nature of Zhang Xun.
In the past, he had been thinking about how to repay the kindness that the Xu family had done to him. Now that someone from the Xu family came, Zhang Xun was naturally very happy and wanted to repay the favor. After Xu Xiwu arrived, he not only sent people to entertain Xu Xiwu warmly, but also
He personally accompanied Xu Xiwu to the theater many times. Finally, he personally helped him contact officials. It was not until everything was settled that he specially invited Xu Xiwu.
"I'm in northern Jiangsu now. This place is poor, the population is poor, and the order is not good. I don't want to keep you here. How about sending you to Nanjing?"
After hearing this, Xu Xiwu quickly stood up and replied.
"As long as I have a place to live, I can do it anywhere. I don't dare to be demanding."
"Don't be too demanding. It's your business. I have to arrange it well for you."
Zhang Xun waved his hand quickly and said.
"I have already written to Cheng Dequan. He is still the governor of Jiangsu, so I have to ask him to help me with this matter. I told him that I have a talented junior student who is going to Jiangnan to seek employment. Please make appropriate arrangements."
Then Zhang Xun said again.
"It would be better to serve as governor in a relatively peaceful and prosperous county.
When Xu Xiwu heard that he was going to be sent to Jiangnan to be the county magistrate, he said hurriedly.
"My little brother has little talent and little knowledge, and I really don't dare to take on such a big responsibility!"
But Zhang Xun laughed.
"Why do you have little talent and little knowledge? If you are asked to be the county magistrate, just do it! How many days should I study? Can't I manage a large group of county magistrates? What's wrong with me?"
"in this way……"
Xu Xiwu sighed first, then bowed again and said.
"Thank you, brother, for your love."
"We are all brothers, you are welcome"
Zhang Xun said with a smile that being able to do something for the people of his old employer really made him feel happy. After all, this was repaying some kindness to his old employer.
Zhang Xun, who was smiling all over, didn't realize that Xu Xiwu glanced around when he was bowing. There was no one else in the restaurant, only the two of them. The guards in the Marshal's mansion were standing outside the room, and it was him.
