Ma Kuai originally means that the horse moves quickly, which means immediately. However, among the subordinate officials in the government offices in the late Qing Dynasty, he was extended to be one of the three officials in service. The so-called three officials who serve are Zaoli, Ma Kuai and Bu Kuai. The three of them are under the emperor's feet, not to mention the numerous officials in the capital, even in the eyes of the wealthy officials and gentry, they are just hereditary servants. However, in the eyes of ordinary people in the market and even people in the hidden sects of the world, they are already worthy of the title. He is a powerful official. The boundaries between the three are not very clear. However, Zaoli is good at guarding and writing documents, while Bu Kuai is responsible for criminal punishment and extracting money from vendors. Only Ma Kuai is specialized in arresting gangsters with special skills. He is an important position, which makes him the most dangerous because he also pursues or escorts the criminals who committed murder cases. There are six gates in the so-called public gate: shackles, rulers, Wen, books, shackles and chains. Among them, the chains and shackles were originally used by the public for criminal detention. However, in the process of arresting criminals, they often become their most convenient and strange weapons. Of course, if a skilled person is brave, then he would dare to go up Liangshan alone even with bare hands. Speaking of Tianjin and even the whole of Hebei, if you ask which of the six gates is the real hero who dares to arrest criminals with bare hands, even ordinary people will instinctively pick Brother Thumb and tell you that only Zhang Zhankui and Zhang San are the ones with the lightning hand. Lord. Speaking of Zhang Zhankui, we have to mention Li Cunyi and Li Ruidong. Because these three people have always been respected as the Three Heroes of the North in the Northern Wulin. Li Cunyi is Xingyi, Li Ruidong is Tai Chi, and Zhang Zhankui is Li Cunyi¡¯s younger brother. He learned Xingyi Quan from Xingyi master Liu Qilan, and because Li Cunyi was related to Cheng Tinghua and Xingyi Bagua from the same family, he became a disciple of Dong Haichuan, and Cheng Tinghua taught the art on his behalf. If this is the only case, perhaps Zhang Zhankui, like several other senior brothers in Hebei Xingyi, will be classified as a disciple of Xingyi, because although he is more than ten years younger than Li Cunyi, because of his extremely high talent, he died early Together with Li Cunyi, they are called the sixth generation twin pillars of Xingyimen. However, he is different from the senior brothers of the Xingyi Sect of his generation. Because of the story of Cheng Tinghua acting as a master and accepting disciples in front of Dong Haichuan's grave. The Eight Great Vajras, who were officially listed as the second-generation disciples of the Bagua Sect, have since gradually represented the face of the Bagua Zhang lineage among the Three Heroes of Northern Fengchen. Whether it is the twin pillars of form and meaning, or the Eight Diagrams King Kong. It stands to reason. Zhang Zhankui's kung fu and seniority are in the northern martial arts world. He has long been regarded as the founder of a sect, so why do he still want to be a low-ranking official in the eyes of the officials and gentry? Some people say it was because he felt the kindness of Ruan Guozhen, the magistrate of Tianjin, when he was fighting against Tianjin with the Eight-Power Allied Forces. Only then did he enter the six gates. Some people say that during the Tianjin Defense War, because he wanted to prevent the city wall from being bombarded, he had to jump from a three-foot-five-foot tall tower with gunpowder and broke it. The reason why his legs and feet were shocked and injured his internal organs In short, there have been different opinions on this point in the world, but in fact, only Zhang Zhankui himself knows that the reason why he became Tianjin Guard's Ma Kuai was to repay Ruan Guozhen for his life-saving efforts. The favor of acquaintance, and secondly, because I like this profession, I can fight life and death with the gangsters in the Jianghu secret door without any scruples. Yes, since Guo Yunshen, the famous martial arts guru, defeated all the invincible opponents in the world with a half-step collapse fist move, Xingyimen has become the best internal martial arts in the northern martial arts world. Since Zhang Zhankui and Li Cunyi have been Known as the twin pillars of the Sixth Dynasty of Xingyi, he will naturally not lag behind later generations in actual combat. What's more, although Zhang Zhankui was born as a fruit seller, since he learned the two internal martial arts of Xingyi and Bagua, he has almost become a typical martial arts fanatic no less than the sharpshooter Li Shuwen. Especially after he integrated the trinity of practical skills of Xingyi Jin, Bagua Transformation and Xingyi Big Pole, and created the "Xingyi Bagua" faction known for its fierce power, he even regarded practical combat as improving himself. The only way to practice martial arts. The so-called "Six Sects" are good at cultivation, especially masters like Zhang Zhankui who have been holding elixirs on their crotch for a long time, focusing on spiritual cultivation and taking advantage of the general trend of Gongmen's righteous way to refine their own martial arts beliefs. Although Liu Men has a bad reputation in the hearts of people in the world, because he can use the power of the imperial court to practice and calm his mind, his boxing skills and even his aura are often more domineering, no matter how powerful criminals or gangsters they are. Once they meet Ma Kuai, who represents the government, most of them will unconsciously lose three points in terms of momentum. These three points may not seem like much, but if you reach Zhang Zhankui's level, it is equivalent to cutting off the top three flowers. Therefore, since ancient times, there has been a saying that the law cannot enter the public domain. Because of this public punishment method They have completely different pursuits from ghosts, gods and spirits. However, everything has its advantages and disadvantages. These six doors have an advantage over the people in the world, but after all, they are still under the control of Shangguan, that is, the court. Even if they can?The so-called general arrester of a province or even the world, once he takes off his official skin, the belief in martial arts that he has established through officialdom will naturally be frustrated. Therefore, even when the target to be apprehended suddenly changed from a gangster to a close person who was difficult to attack, these people who used public services to practice often did not dare to show favoritism. However, Zhang Zhankui did not expect that he would be trapped in the trap so quickly. A dilemma. "Brother Zhankui, now that the southern rebel party has elected Sun Wen as the interim president, we and other soldiers from Beiyang have decided to electrify the whole country to oppose the Republic. However, although the Xingyi Monkey is lurking without a trace, the behavior of the bald man the day before yesterday is enough. It proves that he is obsessed with the handsome thief Even if the friendship between you and me is offset by the friendship between you and Yang Meng's nephew, the matter of apprehending the fugitives of the rebel gang is still between you and me. The person who spoke was Feng Guozhang, a fellow countryman of Zhang Zhankui and the current governor of Zhili. The reason why he said such words to Zhang Zhankui was because the relationship between the two has been very close over the years. Secondly, although Feng accepted his request and served as the honorary president of the Chinese Warriors Association and signed the name himself, everyone knew that Zhang Zhankui owed Feng Guozhang a huge favor for this. "As soon as Brother said this, wouldn't he want to kill Zhan Kui? Although we warriors do not understand politics, it is a blessing for the people to have a general to rule the world now that the mountains and rivers are broken. Therefore, whether it is public or private, Zhan Kui must Protect the commander's safety for my elder brother. Besides, although Yang Meng is my nephew, the martial arts beliefs he pursues are completely contrary to those of the six sects like me" Speaking of this, Zhang Zhankui's eyes flashed with sadness. "So, Zhan Kui has accepted the job assigned by the elder brother today!" "Okay!" Feng Guozhang was overjoyed, and he quickly took the thick stack of banknotes from the guard beside him and handed it over gently. Arriving in front of Zhang Zhankui. "Zhan Kui treats me like this. As a brother, I naturally have to reciprocate the favor. Here are twenty thousand taels of silver. Whether you keep it for yourself or give it to the Chinese Warriors Association to spend is up to you. But there is only one thing. The safety inside and outside the handsome manor, brother, will be entirely entrusted to you from now on" Zhang Zhankui looked at Feng Guozhang's expression of ardent expectations and sighed secretly. Although he knew in his heart that the money was hot to hold, if he didn't take it, If so, I'm afraid that the newly emerged Chinese Warriors Association will be wiped out in the blink of an eye by Yuan Shikai "Zhan Kui shouldn't take the things that the eldest brother told me, but since the eldest brother has such great intentions, he must have other considerations. In this way, the younger brother will Accepting the beauty will make the commander feel at ease" "Zhang Zhankui has been in the government for many years. Although he is straightforward, he is naturally not ignorant of the world, otherwise he would not have created the Xingyi Bagua in his early years. The faction covers the entire North China and even monopolizes the Tianjin Weiwu altar, and is known as the "Sai Tianba". Of course, although this name sounds a bit harsh, it has a lot to do with Zhang Zhankui's position in the government. In many cases, although he is unwilling to restrain those who engage in gangsterism, as the first brother of Ma Kuaizhong, he We have to consider the livelihood of the subordinate officials in the entire yamen and even the security of Tianjin Guard. "Brothers are doing things, so I can rest assured. Although you have thousands of disciples over the years, your expenses have probably always been based on your income. I heard that you and your senior brother are both generous and generous, and always give gifts to those who visit you, including those in the world. Helping me, I am now very poor" "This" Zhang Zhankui twirled the banknotes in his hand and suddenly felt extra heavy. Although Feng Guozhang's words were a bit exaggerated, he wanted to help Li Cunyi and Liu Wenhua. A senior brother spent his old age peacefully, and indeed threw all the remaining property into the Chinese Warriors Association It is said that people can't help themselves in the world, and establishing a sect is the most important thing to do, and like the Chinese Warriors Association, For an organization of such a large scale, it is almost a waste of money. Martial arts masters are also human beings. Even if they have great martial arts skills, they still have to eat, drink, and defecate. Even because they have to pay attention to replenishing qi and blood and cultivating their bodies, their expenses are often much higher than ordinary people, not to mention those poor disciples who are extremely talented. , if you want to train them step by step, the tuition fee is not enough for medicine. "The so-called poor in literature and rich in martial arts really means that if you have mastered kung fu, it will be difficult to develop real kung fu within ten or eight years. Therefore, no matter how hot the banknote in Feng Guozhang's hand is, Zhang Zhankui has to take the money today, whether it is for the Chinese Warriors Association or himself. Zhang Zhankui understands this, and Feng Guozhang understands it even more. Therefore, when Zhang Zhankui patted his chest and made a promise, his heart that was still a little lonely suddenly calmed down, "Good brother, I saw you right, come on, come on, I will introduce you to several experts invited by the commander-in-chief, and one of them has been talking about you for a long time!" Zhang Zhankui felt a little heavy in his heart, thinking about what to do after returning.When his senior brother Li Cunyi explained the money, Feng Guozhang suddenly smiled mysteriously at him, and then pulled him into the inner hall without any explanation. When Zhang Zhankui entered and saw four white-haired and silver-bearded veterans, he suddenly exclaimed in shock. "You who are you?" "You can know how to seek good fortune and avoid harm, stick to your heart, and not be ashamed to accept Feng Guozhang's banknotes. You understand the principle that money can communicate with gods in practice, and you can still borrow money in the future. If we take the trend of the Six Doors a step further, I¡¯m afraid it will be difficult for you and me, the master and the disciple, to have the opportunity to recognize each other like we do today!¡± ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡ (To be continued) ps: Thanks to the brothers of 'Tian Xiao Ni Lang' for the reward, and also to everyone Brothers for your tolerance and understanding, thank you!
