Rebirth of the Northern Giants

The four soldiers stopped to block the enemy on the spot.

"Don't stop the sedan chair, go to the governor's mansion quickly." Liu Kun ordered in confusion.

The crisp gunshots spread far away, and immediately caused a commotion on the street. Several vendors pushed their wheelbarrows and ran screaming in panic.

Three gunmen ran out from the south, and shot Liu Kunyi and the others several times. A personal guard was hit, screamed, and fell to the ground.

Seeing this, the captain of the guard hurriedly shouted: "Hurry up, the street is too empty, turn to the small shop opposite, let's go and defend, I believe reinforcements will arrive soon."

"Long live the military government, long live the generalissimo"

Two peddlers who were approaching suddenly pushed the wheelbarrow away, drew two rifles from below, aimed at the sedan chair and fired indiscriminately. Unfortunately, the two bearers were shot and died.

"Protect adults."

The captain of the guards yelled, and dragged Liu Kunyi out of the sedan chair, and two guards quickly stepped forward to pick him up and ran to the side of the street.

The soldiers fought back one after another, while retreating, hitting the two gunmen.

"Liu Kun is a traitor, die." Another peddler threw a pack of explosives from his hand and threw it not far from Liu Kun. live.

There was a loud bang, and the stones on the street were blown everywhere.

As soon as Liu Kun touched it with his wet hands, he found that the soldiers on his body had been blasted to a bloody mess.

"My lord, please avenge the villain." The captain of the personal army swallowed his last breath.

"Ye Zhikui, I swear against you!" Liu Kun roared angrily.

The remaining three guards dragged Liu Kunyi to the door of a small shop, kicked in the door, and took advantage of the location to fight back against the two vendors.

Tick-tat-tat, there was a sound of horseshoes on the street, and a large group of people from the patrol camp hurried over.

Thanks to the fact that this place is not far from the Governor's Mansion, they were able to arrive in time.

"The wind is tight, run!" the leader of the gunmen yelled and fled first.

Seeing this, several other thieves did not dare to stay, and shot a few shots indiscriminately at Liu Kunyi's hiding place, and then ran away. .

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

"My subordinate came late to rescue me, and I hope the governor will punish me" Liu Lisan, the battalion officer of the patrolling camp, knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

Liu Kunyi didn't suffer any serious injuries, but just sat on the ground with a disheveled face and was really in a state of embarrassment. Looking at the few guards who were carried over without breathing, his expression was terribly gloomy.

Since he became an official, it was the first time he saw someone wantonly assassinate a big official in the borderlands. Generally, political matters were handed over to the official circles, and such a bad situation rarely happened.

Soon, the news of Liu Kunyi's assassination spread throughout the city, and many officials from the Governor's Mansion rushed to express condolences, crowding the small shop to the brim.

The rotten boat also had three-inch nails. Liu Kunyi immediately ordered in a deep voice: "Immediately blockade the entire city, hunt down the fugitives, and send people to surround the military government office and the Jiangnan Admiral's Mansion."

He Zonglian has not been in Liangjiang to supervise military affairs for a long time, and has not yet fully grasped the self-improvement army, patrolling and arresting troops.

Not long after Liu Kun gave the order to go down, the city of Nanjing began to stir, and the situation was tense, with troops and horses coming and going, the whole city on guard, and fugitives being hunted everywhere.

In the admiral's yamen, after He Zonglian got the slogan that Liu Kunyi was assassinated and the person who shot him shouted, she felt that something was wrong, so she hurriedly sent the news to Beijing, and then sat in the hall with a calm face, waiting for Liu Kunyi's death. People arrive.

"My lord, why don't we take advantage of the chaos to escape from Nanjing and make another plan?" the soldiers brought by He Zonglian from Beijing repeatedly persuaded.

"Needless to say, whoever is the murderer has yet to be determined. If we run away, it will be confirmed that the military government is behind the scenes, and I don't believe the generalissimo will do this, otherwise he would not have sent me to Liangjiang Supervising military affairs." He Zonglian replied without haste.

After finishing speaking, he ignored the personal guard and continued to correct the official documents.

"My lord, it's not good. More than 1000 people from the patrol room surrounded the admiral's office." A soldier ran in in a panic to report.

"Pass the order, there is no need to resist," He Zonglian replied without squinting.

"Yes, my lord"

Not long after, the door slammed and was kicked open from the outside.

Liu Lisan rushed in with four or five police officers.

Seeing He Zonglian's calm expression, several police officers did not dare to step forward for a while, and surrounded them silently.

"General He, Your Excellency, please." Liu Lisan saluted first, and then said.

"Let's go." He Zonglian patted the corner of her clothes, stood up, glanced at Liu Lisan, and walked slowly towards the door.

He Zonglian took a few steps ahead, while Liu Lisan and others became followers.

The admiral's office was not far from the governor's mansion. Half an hour later, He Zonglian slowly walked into the hall of the governor's office under the eyes of all around.

The big and small officials of the supervisory office were separated on both sides, looking at the calm Jiangnan admiral with unkind eyes.

"You're here, what's your explanation?" Liu Kunyi asked He Zonglian coldly after his clothes had been cleaned.

He Zonglian looked around first, then shrugged her shoulders and said, "The clearer clears itself, I don't need any explanation."

"It's a good one who clears himself up. If the old man dies today, the Land of Liangjiang will not fall into the hands of Ye Zhikui's children in the end." Liu Kun said angrily with a white beard shaking.

He Zonglian sighed, leaned slightly and said: "Master Governor, I believe that even if the Generalissimo wants to deal with you, he will wait until the end of the war. Now that the foreign aggression is not over, how could he provoke civil strife? I hope the Governor-General will not let his anger go away mind."

The expression on Liu Kun's face was uncertain. In fact, he had thought about it afterwards. Maybe Ye Zhikui didn't do it. Otherwise, He Zonglian wouldn't have walked in, but he would have come in under pressure. It's just that he couldn't think of it for a while. Take your own life.

"Then who do you think did it?" Liu Kun asked with narrowed eyes.

"I don't know about this, but things will come to light one day. What we have to do now is to catch those murderers, interrogate them first, release the personnel from the military government office, and contact Beijing to investigate the matter together. Don't do it. It hurts the loved ones and hates the quick things." Seeing that Liu Kunyi had suppressed her anger, He Zonglian further persuaded her.

Liu Kun said nonchalantly: "You think this old man would be so stupid. If it was done by the military government, if you come to investigate, can you find out a result? This old man will definitely find out the truth, whether it is Whoever will pay the due price at that time, these few days, you should be a guest in the governor's mansion first."

"Forgive me for not agreeing. I am busy with official documents, and I really can't leave. If you have anything to do, you can come to the admiral's office to find me. If there is nothing else, I will leave." He Zonglian replied with a slight frown.

Liu Kun stared at him for a while without speaking, and finally raised his hand and said, "Go down."

"It's too arrogant, my lord, you can't just let him go." Xuanfu envoy Si Qianshi waited until He Zonglian walked out of the door, and said bitterly.

"That's right, Governor, I believe that this shooting has something to do with the military government."

As the assassination of Liu Kunyi spread across the country like a contagion, this southern local government official once again became a figure of national attention, casting a shadow over the slightly more stable situation in the south, causing a commotion among governors of various provinces. Not to mention that everyone is in danger, at least there are more than a hundred personal guards around him.

Is it really the military government?Could it be that with the victory of the war against Russia, Ye Zhikui couldn't wait to deal with the South?

Or is the murderer someone else?Who is going to kill Liu Kunyi? Is it to provoke the relationship between the local governor and the military government, or is the military government going to start a new round of expansion.

For a while, various speculations and disputes continued. Although no one dared to draw conclusions lightly, the consequences of this assassination were also very serious. However, the governors of all provinces remained silent, and they did not express their opinions easily. They took a wait-and-see attitude and waited until the truth came out, but the conspiracy and petty tricks in private had already intensified.

It didn't take long for foreign forces to take the first step, exaggerating the matter like adding oil and vinegar, and the speculation was vigorous. Gossip spread wildly. Although the target was not clearly stated, it seemed to point to the military government.
