Chapter 4: Recuperation
Seeing him like this, Gao Wensheng also became anxious, and quickly turned around to support him who was unsteady on his feet: "You, caught a cold?"

Jiang Cheng was speechless at this moment: his mind was in a mess, and every bone in his body seemed to be crawling with giant biting ants, attacking him madly...

Unable to resist raising his hands and scratching around his body, Jiang Cheng suddenly remembered the anti-drug knowledge he had learned in junior high school: the original owner was addicted to smoking!
I'm going to die.

In the Republic of China before liberation, opium was quite popular;
Especially some rich young men, who regard smoking opium as a fashion and trend; going to a tobacco shop, smoking a few good cigarettes, and then finding two beautiful women is their favorite.

What a playboy you are! You’ve screwed me over so badly!
Jiang Cheng, who was already unable to stand, broke out in a cold sweat and could only lie back on the bed with the help of Gao Wensheng.

At this moment, the confidant finally understood and sighed, "Just lie down and don't make a sound... I'll let Xiao Haizi get it for you."

"What are you doing?"

Even though this shitty opium had caused a huge mess, Jiang Cheng still half-raised himself in shock, "I don't smoke that crap!"

How could he, who has received higher education in the 21st century, not know the harm of opium to the body?

He has such a big reaction at such an age. If he smokes for another two years, his body will be ruined.

"But Feilan, you..."

Seeing him so determined, Gao Wensheng was stunned.

"Get out! Get someone to get me a basin of cold water now. Get out now!"

"Uncle, I know I was wrong, so don't let me smoke from now on. I, I want to quit!"

Facing Gao Wensheng's eyes full of surprise, Jiang Cheng roared at the top of his lungs.

If you want to succeed in the Republic of China, you must first get rid of all these bad habits.

However, he never expected that the first pit he encountered when traveling through the Republic of China was actually dug by the original owner himself...

"Okay, I'll ask someone to go to the provincial capital to get a doctor for you."

Seeing that he was so persistent, Gao Wensheng didn't hesitate any longer and turned around to shout at the servants in the mansion.

Some people fetched water, some people looked for doctors, and they spent the whole night there.

Such a big commotion was bound to alarm Jiang Lanxuan who was in the military camp.

When he heard that his son was addicted to opium, he was so angry that he fumed but there was nothing he could do. He asked people to keep a close eye on him and not let him go out.

It took Jiang Cheng ten days of recuperation before he was fully recovered.

Early in the morning, he changed into clean clothes and went out for a walk to get some fresh air. It was the height of summer and even the temperature in the three northeastern provinces was very high.

"Master, are you feeling better?"

Aunt Chen, who was sitting by the well washing clothes, smiled and stood up to wipe her hands on her apron when she saw him. "Well, you look much better now! You must be hungry. Aunt Chen will make you something delicious."

She was her mother's dowry maid and had a certain prestige and status in the Jiang family.

Smiling and waving his hands to decline the kindness, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but complain in his heart: It's not bad... With the productivity of the Republic of China, what's the point of talking about delicious food and drink? It's good enough to be able to eat enough.

"Hey, Aunt Chen, I haven't seen my dad for a few days. Where has he been recently?"

Having recently adapted to the original owner's accent, Jiang Cheng said as he lay back on the reclining chair, "I haven't heard of any incidents anywhere."

"Well, the master is always very busy! Wensheng said that he is either at the horse farm or in the military camp."

She turned around and continued washing clothes. "Master, don't blame me for being talkative. You should listen to me and work harder for this family since I'm busy all day long." These words reminded Jiang Cheng.

It is necessary to strive for success, and he will have to slowly make plans next.

During his convalescence, Jiang Cheng talked to Gao Wensheng almost every day, and he knew everything about the family and the military.

He had already planned to start with the cavalry camp once his body had almost recovered.

While I was thinking, I heard the chaotic sound of military boots coming from the corridor, and at the same time, there were several men cursing in a rough voice.

Jiang Cheng sat up from the recliner and followed the sound in astonishment: several officers were escorting Battalion Commander Jiang Lanxuan to the open hall, probably to discuss something.

However, when he got closer, Jiang Cheng discovered that these officers' faces were not only anxious, but also extremely nervous and angry.

What's going on?

After turning his eyes a few times, Jiang Cheng trotted forward and called out to Gao Wensheng in a low voice, "Uncle, what's going on? Is there something wrong with the cavalry battalion?"

In addition to the cavalry battalion under his command, Jiang Lanxuan also manages the Xinminfu Horse Farm - could it be that Mongolian bandits have come to the surface again?

wrong.

No matter how powerful the bandits were, there was no reason for them to bother the regular army. Especially when he saw Gao Wensheng's expression, Jiang Cheng was more certain that the matter was serious.

"Hey, this is not your business, Feilan, go back to your room and rest!"

Seeing that he was just responding casually and kept turning his head to look at Jiang Lanxuan, Jiang Cheng could sense how anxious he was, so he grabbed his wrist and asked, "Uncle, didn't we say it before? You can't hide anything!"

"What do you want me to say? It's hard to explain this matter in a short time... It's still Tang Erhu!"

After a few hasty words, Jiang Lanxuan and the others had already strode into the open hall. Gao Wensheng, the adjutant, chased after them while turning back to warn them, "Go back to your room and don't cause any trouble for your father!"

Hey, please at least make it clear, what is this Tang Erhu?
As soon as Jiang Cheng's thoughts turned, he was suddenly startled: Wait, the Tang Erhu he was talking about, could it be the commander of the 53rd Brigade, Tang Yulin?
When the Marshal was in charge of Fengtian, Tang was still the commander of the 53rd Brigade and concurrently served as the commander of the provincial capital's army.

This fellow relied on his brotherly relationship with the Marshal and thought he had made great contributions. He abused his military power in the provincial capital without any discipline. His soldiers were rampant in the streets and caused a lot of trouble.

Later, this guy became even more arrogant and opened many underground money houses and casinos to disrupt the economy, causing public resentment in Fengcheng.

Jiang Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly and said to himself, "Did he fight with Wang Yongjiang?"

All the former police chiefs of Fengtian were afraid of the stupid and aggressive Tang Yulin and did not dare to go against him. So the Marshal invited Wang Xiucai to be the police chief of Fengtian Province and then appointed him as the chief of the provincial police department.

When a scholar meets a soldier, there is naturally an earth-shattering conflict between the military and the police: the arrogant Erhu feels that he has suffered a loss, so he rushes into the Fengtian Police Department with his soldiers and shoots and kills several policemen in succession.

The noisy conversation in the open hall interrupted Jiang Cheng's thoughts.

Ignoring Chen Ma's advice to "go back to the room quickly", he tiptoed forward and eavesdropped.

After a while, he figured out the whole story:

It turned out that Tang Erhu's trouble had nothing to do with their 28th Division.

However, as the conflict between Wang and Tang deepened, the two tigers persuaded Sun Liechen and others to find the commander-in-chief and ask him to dismiss the scholar.

The plan did not succeed and instead ended in failure. The hot-tempered Tang Yulin turned around and went to the 28th Division to conspire with Feng Delin to deal with the Marshal.
