The officers and soldiers outside the door rushed in in a large group, everyone glared angrily, and pointed their guns at Han Qing and Ma Xingkong. Yuan Keding smiled slightly: "I would like to advise you two, if you have anything to say, just say it, don't
If you play this kind of game with me, don't you want to take my head? Come and get it?"
Shitou suddenly rushed up, grabbed Yuan Keding's neck, and widened his eyes: "Get out, get out of here! Quick!"
Liu Wu and Hei Wa all took out their short guns, and the two big men behind Han Qing also drew their guns. Yuan Keding's face soon turned red and his mouth was wide open. He had already thrown away the walking stick and grabbed the stone's arm with both hands.
, trying to break free, kicking his legs on the ground, feeling like he was about to be strangled to death.
Carrying Yuan Keding, who was like a dead fish, he walked out of the inn in full view of the officers and soldiers. There were more officers and soldiers outside. Carrying Yuan Keding out of the alley like this, he would be safe even if he did not die. Han Qing glanced at it and walked to the car.
He stood next to him and pulled the driver down: "Come on, let's take this fast ride!"
The officers and soldiers did not dare to chase, so they turned around the alley and threw Yuan Keding away with a stone. Han Qing drove away and fled. Yuan Keding gasped for air, and several officials hurried over and slowly helped Yuan Keding up.
.While coughing and gasping for air: "Fool, cough cough... Why don't you hurry up and chase me! If you can't find my car, you losers don't have to come back!"
After twists and turns, Ma Xingkong and the others were completely confused. "Squeak..." There was a harsh brake sound, and several people climbed forward at the same time and almost fell. Han Qing parked the car in front of a tall gate building.
The man jumped out of the car, got into the alley next to him and disappeared.
This is a tall house, with two large stone lions on both sides of the tall gatehouse, and six rows of fist-sized nails on the black door. Han Qing pushed the door open and said: "Heroes! Come on! Come on! The most beautiful person in this house."
It’s safe, no matter how capable Yuan Keding is, he wouldn’t dare to come here!”
Ma Xingkong looked around and saw that this place was full of independent small courtyards, and the people coming and going were all foreigners in strange clothes and strange looks. They walked arrogantly and didn't even look at the fashionable Chinese people next to them.
At a glance, all the foreigners were followed by one or several Chinese servants holding something.
There are no idle people waiting here, and you can tell at a glance that they are either rich or noble. The Indians wearing belts and hats, and the Chinese patrolmen wearing yellow coats, brandished sticks to drive out some Chinese who tried to flow in. These people looked at
When I saw foreigners, they all nodded and bowed with smiling faces.
Ma Xingkong looked at it for a long time and was not in a hurry to go in: "Where is this place? What do those foreigners do?"
Han Qing smiled, took Ma Xingkong's arm, and said while walking inside: "This is our country within a country in China. The original name of this place is Dongjiaominxiang. It is the most prosperous place in the capital. Wang Gui
We basically live here, and all the major government offices of the Ministry of Revenue are also here, but now it has changed, and this place is called Embassy Street."
"Embassy Street? What Embassy Street?" Ma Xingkong stopped and asked.
Han Qing pulled hard, but Ma Xingkong didn't move at all: "Let's go, let's talk inside!"
After entering the room, several servants poured them tea and made some exquisite snacks. Long Jie's eyes widened when he saw them. These snacks were definitely not for eating. The style, aroma, and color were all like works of art.
Han Qing picked up a piece and put it in Long Jie's hand. He held it for a long time without daring to bite it.
Ma Xingkong took a sip of water: "You haven't told me what Embassy Street is yet?"
Han Qing laughed twice: "The so-called Embassy Street means that there are many embassies here, all of which are places for foreigners!"
"Isn't this place ours? How could we become a foreigner?" Liu Wu asked hurriedly.
Han Qing smiled: "You don't know about the Treaty of Xinchou and Shimonoseki, right?"
Ma Xingkong shook his head. Liu Wu nodded. Han Qing also nodded and said: "This place is just like those ceded places. It was occupied by foreigners. The Qing Dynasty could not do anything about it, and Yuan Shikai cannot do anything about it now.
So it becomes a country within a country!”
"Pah!" Ma Xingkong threw the tea cup heavily on the table: "Then why does he still want to be the president?"
Han Qing also put down his teacup: "You may not know, but I heard that Yuan Shikai has reached an agreement with the Japanese and is preparing to become emperor and go back to the old path. I came to the capital this time to stop Yuan Shikai on my father's orders.
!”
Ma Xingkong looked at Han Qing and the two big men standing behind him. He stood up from the chair and looked around. The layout of the house was very simple. In front of the door was a painting of a tiger descending from the mountain.
, I don’t know who painted it, but there are bookshelves against the walls on the left and right, with neat bundles of books placed neatly. The nanmu chairs glow with a faint purple light, and even the tea bowls are not something that ordinary people can use.
When Han Qing saw Ma Xingkong looking around, he asked, "Are you guys curious about my identity?"
Ma Xingkong, Liu Wu, Shitou, Hei Wa and others all turned to look at him. Han Qing waved his hand, and the servants waiting on the side were driven out by his two men. Han Qing asked: "Then
First tell me what they do? Have you told me who you are? I’ll tell you who you are!”
"I came to the capital from Nanhe to visit my relatives!" Liu Wu answered quickly to prevent others from spilling the beans.
Han Qing looked at them and smiled slightly: "I take it you are not here to visit relatives, right? With this body, and this brother's martial arts skills in capturing Yuan Keding, look at your hands, these are the hands that are used to shoot guns all year round. If
I read that right, some of them are either soldiers and mustaches!"
"'Beard'? What is 'beard'?" Shitou asked.
"They are bandits! To put it nicely, they are Green Foresters!" Han Qing explained: "This is what we call them outside the customs!"
"Hahaha..." Shitou laughed loudly: "You are not old, but your eyes are quite poisonous! You can see this!"
Liu Wu sighed. He didn't want to tell this Han Qing about his family's background, but he didn't expect Shitou to tell him clearly. It would be too late to save him. He glared at Shitou fiercely, and Shitou hurriedly turned around to eat snacks.
Ma Xingkong looked at Han Qing: "Yes, we are bandits from Nanhe. We are here to find someone in the capital. If you want to report to the official, go quickly, but I advise you, it is best not to go!" After saying this,
, Ma Xingkong, Hei Wa, and Liu Wu put their hands into their arms.
Han Qing nodded: "This brother is a bit generous and has a bad temper with me! Since you guys didn't hide it, I certainly won't hide it either. I am Zhang Xueliang, the son of the Northeast Marshal!"
Liu Wu's mouth opened wide: "Are you Zhang Zuolin's son? Are you Mr. Zhang?"
The guard behind Zhang Xueliang pulled out his short gun and pointed at Liu Wu: "Did you also call the Marshal by his name?"
