The car from the Xiong's house turned back to Beijing, and drove directly to the vicinity of the Yao Gongguan. Chen Zikun got out of the car and entered the mansion through the rear door used by the servants. When Yao Yilei heard that Chen Zikun had arrived, she deliberately kept him waiting for half an hour before coming downstairs, sitting on the long sofa in the living room, and letting the little maid go call Chen Zikun over.
Chen Zikun wore a neat and tidy blue cotton jacket and trousers, and as he entered the room, he bowed and said: "Miss, I wish you peace."
Miss Yao said lazily, "Don't pretend, you can't even do your job. What did you say on the phone? You were supposed to come two hours ago and now you're just showing up. I pay you 200 yuan a month for this kind of service?"
"Miss, your words are too hurtful. To come and serve you, I have exhausted all my strength, killing my way out of the army of ten thousand horses."
Yao Yilei said: "When did Beijing go to war? I didn't know."
Chen Zikun said, "It's not a fight, it's the police department wanting to catch me..." Then he told Miss Yao about Li Junqing being humiliated and castrated, Ma Laoer being chased by the police, Zhao Dahai being captured, and himself getting involved in all these things. He only concealed the fact that he had already escorted Li Junqing to escape. Miss Yao listened with great interest and relish.
"Is that Li Junqing really so handsome?" Miss Yao asked.
Chen Zikun almost spat out a mouthful of blood, women are just women, only caring about this.
"Yes, this kid is quite handsome, but it's precisely this appearance that has brought him trouble. Now even I'm being implicated, the Ma family has said that they'll arrest me on sight." Chen Zikong sighed.
Miss Yao's eyes rolled over and a plan formed in her mind: "You go prepare the carriage, take me out. I want to see who dares to arrest the coachman of the Yao Manor."
Zheng Zhong Chen Zi Kung was right on target, he went out to prepare, and Miss Yao picked up the phone with a sly smile.
……
Qianmen Square is one of the most bustling and prosperous places in Beijing, with the magnificent Front Gate Building in the center of the square. To the east lies Zhengyangmen East Station on the Jingfu Railway, while to the west lies Xizhimen Station on the Jinghan Railway. The flow of people is huge, with all sorts of characters mixed together, all trying to make a living here.
Ma Lao San had been hanging around the train station since he was a teenager, getting to know many rascals and scoundrels. He was generous and open-handed, gradually gathering a group of pickpockets and thieves around him. Due to his relationship with Old Five, he also got along well with several police officers at the train station. The money stolen by his underlings was always split with the police department, so they would often turn a blind eye to thefts and robberies.
The train station is the best way to escape Beijing, as soon as the train whistle blows, it's gone dozens of miles away in the blink of an eye, and no one can catch up. So Old Ma gave a death order: all personnel must keep a close eye on the ticket office, entrance, and waiting room, especially paying attention to men dressed as women, as well as a big guy named Chen Zikun.
The hooligans around the train station are different from those elsewhere, having been mixed among countless passengers for a long time, they have developed a pair of sharp eyes. Ordinary people can tell at a glance what's going on, don't think that with so many passengers coming and going every day, it's easy to slip away, you still need to weigh your chances carefully.
Pí hóu had been hanging around Zhengyangmen Railway Station for seven or eight years, specializing in bullying outsiders. He was skilled at picking pockets and bumping into people, and was a trusted subordinate of San Ye. At this moment, he was crouching near the ticket office, his beady eyes scanning the passing travelers from under the brim of his hat. Suddenly, a tall figure appeared before him, and Pí hóu's heart skipped a beat.
Isn't this Chen Zikun!
His heart was racing, but he wasn't afraid of the kid. No matter how skilled you are, you can still be afraid of bullets. The front door was surrounded by soldiers and police, and with one shout, a group of patrolmen could be called over. What he was worried about was being preempted by someone else, and the 1,000 yuan would fly away.
One thousand dollars is not a small amount, enough to buy a quadrangle courtyard with an extra house and a concubine in Beijing. Pi Hou indulges in all vices - eating, drinking, whoring, gambling, and smoking, and still owes over a hundred dollars in gambling debts, worrying about how to repay them when suddenly this huge sum of money appears before him.
Chen Zikun wore a short jacket and a bowler hat, the brim of which was pulled down low over his eyes. He entered the ticket office and bought a train ticket to Tianjin, then came out again. The skin monkey followed him from afar, occasionally using corners and vehicles to conceal his tracks. Chen Zikun was also extremely vigilant, frequently turning his head to look around, fearing that someone might be following him.
"This kid, must have a trick up his sleeve." Pi Hou became even more excited, and indeed, Chen Zi Kun arrived at the square, next to a parked rickshaw stood a woman with a slender figure, wearing a hat and a veil on her face, holding a small parasol, making it impossible to see her features.
Yā tǐng's affirmative is that Li Junqing, the murderer of Er Ye, has been caught. They say his figure surpasses Mei Lanfang; looking at this situation, it doesn't seem to be an exaggeration at all. Pi Hou seems to have already seen a large pile of silver coins being put into his own pocket. At the critical moment, he didn't hesitate in the slightest and didn't care if there was any backup or not. Without saying another word, he stepped forward with arrow-like steps and revealed his ultimate skill.
The monkey wasn't just a pickpocket, but also good at bumping into people. He had a broken pair of glasses that would fall off and shatter with one touch. Normally, he targeted those who looked a bit dim-witted, like the first-time tourists from out of town in Beijing, and would swindle them out of their money. Today was the perfect opportunity to put his skills to use. He pretended to walk by and bumped into the woman, but was stopped by Chen Zikun: "What are you doing?!"
"Oh no, my glasses! You're going to pay for my glasses." The monkey's acting skills were quite impressive. With a flick of his head, the glasses fell to the ground and shattered. He shouted and cried out, attracting a crowd of onlookers.
Chen Zikun smiled coldly and asked Miss Yao: "Miss, what do you think we should do?"
Miss Yao, being clever and astute, naturally understood what was happening, so she deliberately pinched her voice and said: "Hurry up and give them the money to send them off, don't miss the train."
As soon as he heard this, Pí Hóu's heart was even more certain: this little guy must be a man dressed up as a woman!
Chen Zikun intentionally asked him: "How much did your glasses cost?"
"Our family's heirloom crystal glasses are worth a lot of money, you won't get them for just a thousand or eight hundred, don't even think about getting them cheaply." Pi Hou was clearly trying to provoke the other party and make a big deal out of it.
Chen Zikun was quite cooperative, and as soon as he heard this, he got angry. With one hand grasping the collar of the monkey skin, he lifted it up and shouted: "Are you crazy, coming to my place to swindle me?"
"Come on, someone! Call the police! They broke something and won't pay for it!"
More and more onlookers gathered, everyone was a discerning person, at a glance they knew it was a scammer blackmailing people, and they all pointed accusingly at the monkey. But this was exactly what he wanted, with so many people watching the commotion, the police patrolling the square quickly rushed over.
Four patrolmen arrived at the scene, holding their batons and asking in a tone of inquiry: "What's going on?"
Chen Zikun released the skin monkey and pointed at the glass fragments on the ground, saying: "Officer, this kid is trying to swindle us by breaking the glass."
The monkey and these few patrolmen were old acquaintances, he sneered and whispered into the ear of the lead fat police officer: "That woman is Li Junqing in disguise, catch them and the reward will be ours."
Fat Inspector had a sudden realization, he had also heard about the case of Ma Er Ye, for this case, both the black and white worlds of Beijing were shocked, unexpectedly it fell into his own hands, heaven is pitiful, his finances were tight at the moment, yet he was given a large sum of money.
He asked in a low voice: "Really?"
"I'm absolutely sure, I'd stake my head on it." Pí Hóu said with conviction.
The fat policeman sneered coldly: "You few, follow me to the police station to talk."
Chen Zikun angrily said: "Officer, we're in a hurry to catch the train, this kid is obviously a swindler, why do you still believe him?"
The fat policeman said: "Whether he is a swindler or not, we'll know after questioning. Take him away!"
The other three policemen were also old hands and had a tacit understanding with the fat police officer. They knew that this man and woman were absolutely suspicious, so they raised their batons and shouted: "Move!"
"Sir, don't blame me for not warning you, our young mistress is not someone you can afford to offend!"
"Damn it! You little rascal, you're still fooling me, lock him up!" The fat police officer pulled out his gun and pressed it against Chen Zikun's chest. Another policeman walked over and directly removed Yao Yire's hat, revealing a delicate and beautiful face. Several policemen were stunned, and Pihou was also taken aback - what the hell, is this guy male or female?
"Yao Yilei's voice was cold as frost: 'What do you want to do?'"
Fat Inspector said: "You know this yourself, don't think that changing clothes can deceive my fiery eyes, let's talk about it at the police station."
Yao Yile sneered: "Fine, I'm afraid you'll find it easy to invite a god but hard to send one away. Let's go."
The police took out the handcuffs, and Yao Yire very cooperatively stretched out her hands to let them be cuffed, and together with Chen Zikun was taken away under public gaze to the police station.
Fat Inspector Wang first made a phone call to inform Old Ma to come and identify the person, then personally interrogated Yao Yire. He took out paper and pen, his lecherous eyes fixed on Miss Yao's face and chest, greedily staring for half a day before asking: "Name, native place, where do you live?"
"Yao Yilei, a local, lives at Yao Gongguan on Chang'an Street. And my father is the Deputy Minister of Transportation, his name is Yao Qifeng." Miss Yao said fearlessly.
The police burst out laughing, and the fat policeman laughed so hard that tears came out.
"You think you can fool me with this act? Do you take me for a three-year-old kid? You're the only one in the second master's household with such nerve!" Fat Inspector gazed at Yao Yire's black cloth shoes, smiling self-righteously.
The skin monkey also followed with a smile: "He's really good at bluffing, just touch the bottom and you'll know, it's got a handle."
The fat police officer really wanted to come over and touch her, which scared Yao Yile so much that she retreated two steps back, stuttering: "Y-you, what do you want to do?"
"Hmm, nothing to do, just a little touch." The fat police officer rubbed his hands together and walked over, leering at Yao Yire who was shivering in the corner. In the square he still had some scruples, but once inside the police station he would have no qualms. Regardless of whether this person was a real young woman or a man dressed as a woman, he was quite interested. Before Old Horse arrived, he'd take advantage of the situation and get a little something for himself.
At the critical moment, Chen Zikun, who had been silent all along, suddenly kicked out, one foot kicking the fat policeman's crotch, so painful that his eyes bulged out, and he sucked in cold air while covering his groin.
"Police!" The police rushed forward to rescue, wielding their batons and beating Chen Zikun fiercely. Chen Zikun did not resist, only standing in front of Yao Yiren and allowing them to hit and kick him at will.
Yao Yilei screamed non-stop, but couldn't stop the police's brutality at all. Looking at Chen Zikun standing in front of her like an iron tower, two lines of tears flowed down uncontrollably.
Suddenly, a neat footsteps came from outside the police station, as if a team of horses had arrived.
"Halt!"
"Halt!"
"First squad go left, second squad go right, third squad follow me!"
The police officers looked at each other in dismay, stopped beating him, and turned to look outside the gate. They were all wearing blue-gray military uniforms, and their faces were also familiar. They were the traffic department's road protection army personnel who were responsible for guarding the train station.
