Exposed by the media, Ying Guixin and Secretary of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Hong Shuzu, Guo. Business. Total. Li Zhao Bingjun's telegram is as follows:

1. On January 14, the second year of the Republic of China, Zhao Bingjun sent a letter to Ying Guixin: "Please send the password for inspection, and if there is a call in the future, send it directly to the country. Business. Courtyard can also. (A copy of the password is attached, indicating the country. Business. Yuan Yingmi, January 14, 2nd year of the Republic of China).

2. Ying Guixin sent Zhao Bingjun's "Ying Mi Winter Telegram" contains: "The head of the Democratic Party, Song Renzong. Reason. The history of Sun, Huang and Song has been purchased by Japan, and 100,000 copies have been printed and are planned to be distributed from Yokohama. ”

3. On February 1 of the first year of the Republic of China, Hong Shuzu sent a letter to Ying Guixin: "A big topic is always valuable to make a fierce article. On February 2, Hong sent a letter in response: "My brother must call Lao Zhao in advance. ”

Fourth, in the telegrams, Hong Shuzu called Ying Guixin his younger brother, and he should call Hong the old man of Yin.

5. On 4 February, Hong Shuzu sent a letter to Gui Xin: "When the winter telegram arrived at Zhao, he handed over his brother (Hong's self-proclaimed) hand and presented it to the president in person. ”

6. On the 22nd of February, Hong Shuzu sent a letter to Ying Guixin: "The letter has been submitted to the President, the President. Read. Don't electrify the country in the future. Business. Hospital, because Zhi (known as Zhao Bingjun) has handed over the secret book, and it is all under the management of his brother. ”

7. On March 13, Hong Shuzu sent a telegram: "Destroying the Song Dynasty's honorable position should be handled properly. ”

8. On 14 March, Ying Guixin sent a cold telegram to Hong Shuzu's "Ying Mi": "The bandits in Liangshan have gone out to disturb the situation (referring to Song's speech in major cities accusing Yuan Shikai) of being in danger, and an urgent order has been issued to try to arrest him. ”

9. On the 21st of March, Ying Guixin sent a telegram to Hong Shuzu's "Chuanmi": "The bandits have been destroyed, and our army has not suffered a single casualty. ”

This made the incident a serious political incident in vain, although there is no direct evidence that it was Song Jiaoren who was instructed by Yuan Shikai to assassinate him.

The interpretation of secret telegrams by Minli Bao, which has always been the mouthpiece of the Kuomintang Song Jiaoren faction, is quite representative.

In its explanation of the correspondence between Gui Xin and Hong Shuzu (8 February), Minli Bao made the logic of the case very clear: "Yuan and Zhao deliberately plotted to trap Mr. Song, and they never forgot it. When the offender was repeatedly delayed, he knew that Mr. Song's reputation had been ruined and he had to destroy Mr. Song's life. Therefore, the death of Mr. Song, the death of Yuan and Zhao, and the death of Non-Hong, Ying and Wu. ”

In other words, "Minli Daily" believes that Ying Guixin's murder of Song Jiaoren was not accidental, but after a long-term plot to destroy Song Jiaoren's reputation could not succeed, he made this murderous decision.

Ying Guixin, whose father Ying Zhongcai (Ying Wensen) was originally a craftsman, made a fortune by selling land in Shanghai.

Ying Guixin also studied at Shanghai Meixi Academy, and later sent to Longmen Academy. In 1887, he studied engineering drawing with the British engineer Jin Simei, and later went to work at the Hanyang Iron Works with his father-in-law, Xue Peirong. Due to the conflict with the American engineer for the construction of a commercial steel furnace, he was reassigned by Zhang Zhidong, the governor of Huguang, to Wuchang to supervise the construction of the Lianghu Academy, and was reprimanded for the non-compliance with the program. He then went to the Nanchang prefect Cao Langchuan, reported to the county in 1891, and was appointed as a patrolman.

In the same year, he went to Anhui to fill the bureau and reimburse the poor, and in 1893 he was in charge of the arrest camp in southern Anhui. In 1894, he resigned and went to Shanghai, opened the Xiangyuan Tobacco House and the Guixian Theater, and became a famous ruffian hooligan in Shanghai.

In 1906, he was expelled from the rental business on suspicion of extortion and fornication. He fled to Suzhou, donated an alternate magistrate, and was appointed by Yuan Shikai's brother Yuan Ganqing as the section chief of the Supervision Office, and later planned to make him a printing bureau promotion, causing an uproar in public opinion. Under the protests and accusations of the gentry led by Wang Zhonglin, Ying Guixin was wanted and fled, hiding in his hometown of Yin County.

On the other side of notoriety, Ying Guixin has also been secretly supporting the anti-Qing revolution. In 1894, when he was in charge of the fishing camp in southern Anhui, he arrested the revolutionary Gong Zhao, but he was influenced by him, and decided to abandon his official position to devote himself to the revolutionary cause, and secretly helped the revolutionary party members many times.

During the Xinhai Revolution, he participated in the recovery of Shanghai, and was appointed as the chief of the espionage section by Chen Qimei, the governor of the Shanghai army, and was responsible for taking care of Sun Yat-sen when he came to Shanghai, and escorted Sun Yat-sen to Nanjing to take office as the provisional president. Sun Yat-sen appointed Ying Guixin as commander of the presidential palace guard, and later as chief of affairs. Ying Guixin "spent five yuan per table of silver for cooking, which was later reduced to one yuan, and the dish was equal to five yuan", and was reprimanded immediately after being discovered by the presidential palace.

On July 1, 1912, Ying Guixin entangled the Qing Gang, the Red Gang and other forces in the rivers and lakes to establish the Chinese National Advancement Association, and served as its president. However, after the establishment of the association, it caused trouble everywhere and endangered public order. In particular, in September 1912, he created a mutiny in the Hubei Horse Corps, and after being suppressed by Li Yuanhong, it was found that Ying Guixin was the main envoy, so he was strictly wanted.

Soon after, Hong Shuzu, secretary of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, came to Shanghai under the pretext of investigating the maritime police, and actually took Yuan Shikai's secret mission to recruit an army to establish contact and friendship with Ying Guixin. Hong Shuzu not only recommended Ying Guixin to Cheng Dequan, the governor of Jiangsu, to be the chief inspector of Jiangsu in Shanghai, but also persuaded Li Yuanhong to cancel the wanted notice for Ying Guixin.

In December, Gui Xin was invited by Hong Shuzu to go north to Beijing to meet with President Yuan Shikai and the State Council. Total. Li Zhao Bingjun, during which he asked to be appointed as the "chief of the central government's special inspection in Shanghai", which has jurisdiction over the party forces from Sichuan, Henan, Fujian, Guangzhou, etc., but Zhao Bingjun refused.

At that time, Hong Shuzu wanted to prevent the Kuomintang from forming a political party cabinet, and with the support of Yuan Shikai, he secretly contacted Ying Guixin and asked him to collect black materials about the Kuomintang leaders Sun Yat-sen, Huang Xing, and Song Jiaoren. Ying Guixin lied that he had learned that there was physical evidence in Japan, such as "the bad history of Sun Huang and the Song Dynasty", "the portrait of Huang and the next daughter", and "the criminal bill of the Song Dynasty committing fraud". The government asked for 300,000 to buy it. Yuan Shikai was very interested in the "Song Fraud Criminal Bullet", wanted to know its details, and asked Hong Shuzu to ask Ying Guixin to provide the original or photocopy first, but Ying Guixin was never able to hand it over.

A common theory is that after Hong Shuzu knew that the method of demonizing Kuomintang dignitaries would not work, he sent a secret telegram to Ying Guixin on 6 March, suggesting that he would "take the opportunity" to attack Song Jiaoren. On the 13th, he used "destroying the Song Dynasty's honorable position" as a bait to induce Ying Guixin to kill Song Jiaoren. Ying Guixin wanted to buy treasury bonds at a low price as compensation, and Hong Shuzu responded that "the bonds are particularly accurate".

After Ying Guixin got the promise, he bribed the murderer Wu Shiying and created the Song Jiaoren case on March 20, 1913. On March 24, Ying Guixin was arrested at the home of Li Guiyu, a prostitute in Yingchunfang. During the trial, he denied everything he could, and when the Second Revolution broke out in July, he took advantage of the chaos to escape from prison and hide in the German Concession in Qingdao.

It is said that after the Second Revolution was suppressed and Yuan Shikai was inaugurated as the official president, Ying Guixin sent a telegram to the government. The government claimed that he had merit in killing the "thief" and asked for redress of grievances. Yuan Shikaizheng. There was no response from the government, so he personally went to Beijing to invite the reward. During his time in Beijing, he indulged in sex in Bada Hutong every night.

On January 17, 1914, Ying Guixin was confronted by the military police while soliciting prostitutes and smoking cigarettes. The military police didn't know that he was Ying Guixin, but he said loudly to the military police: "I am the first merit of the Republic of China, and the first merit of killing Song Jiaoren, and now I will be given a general, and a reward of honors and treasury securities millions. Then the military and police blasted away.

Two days later, on the afternoon of January 19, Ying Guixin was assassinated on the Jinjing Express, and the main envoy is generally believed to be Yuan Shikai.

Regarding the telegram involving himself, Zhao Bingjun argued: "Governor Cheng and Chief of Civil Affairs announced that the evidence in the Song case involved Bingjun, but there were two handwritten documents, one was to issue a password and the other was to apply for an allowance, both of which were official duties."

Another important suspect in the Song Jiaoren case is Hong Shuzu, the secretary of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the state government.

Hong Shuzu, formerly known as Hong Xi, the word Yinzhi, the name Guanchuan Jushi, was born in Changzhou, Jiangsu Province in a famous family. His ancestor was Hong Liangji, a famous writer in the Qing Dynasty. Its name describes the ancestors, and it has the meaning of following the ancestors' achievements. However, Hong Shuzu's life deeds and Naizu's deeds are far from each other.

When Hong Shuzu was nine months old, the Taiping army captured Changzhou, and his father Hong Yan died in a street battle, and 17 family members threw themselves into the river. Only Hongshu's grandfather and his mother Zhang were rescued. Later, he relied on his uncle Hong Yanzhe to live and studied under him.

In the fourth year of Guangxu (1878), he was admitted to Xiucai, but he failed to pass the test in the next eight years, so he made a living from the curtain. He successively served as the governor of Jiangxi Chen Baochen, the governor of Jiangxi Pan Fei, the minister of Qincha supervised the military affairs of Fujian Zuo Zongtang and the governor of Taiwan Liu Mingchuan.

In the fourteenth year of Guangxu (1888), Hong Shuzu was sent to the United Kingdom by Liu Ming to accept the two clippers "Driving Time" and "Simei" ordered by the Taiwan Bureau of Commerce in the United Kingdom. Afterwards, Liu Mingchuan impeached Hong Shuzu for embezzling public funds, and was dismissed from his post and sent to Tamsui County Prison.

In the nineteenth year of Guangxu (1893), Hong Shuzu was released from prison and went north to Tianjin to join his fellow townsman Tianjin Customs Dao Sheng Xuanhuai. Soon after, the Sino-Japanese War broke out, and Hong Shuzu was sent to Korea to take charge of telegraph affairs, where he became acquainted with Yuan Shikai and Tang Shaoyi. After the war, Hong Shuzu returned to Jiangsu to make a living, and since then his name has been changed from Hong Xi to Hong Shuzu, and it has been incorporated into the shogunate of Yu Lianyuan.

In the autumn of the 28th year of Guangxu (1902), the Qing court re-established Hong Shuzu to distribute Hubei as a candidate magistrate. He has served in Hankou for more than two years, and has successively served as the office of the Hankou Qingzhang Bureau, the negotiation and copywriter of the Hankou Bureau, the representative of the Xiakou Department of Hanyang Prefecture, and the general office of the Second Bureau of the Hankou Police.

In the spring of the 31st year of Guangxu (1905), due to discord with Jichang in Jianghan Guandao, Hong Shuzu resigned and returned to Shanghai to assist Li Jingfang in handling Anhui railway affairs.

In the 33rd year of Guangxu (1907), he was selected to serve in Zhili, and successively served as the Provincial Water Conservancy Bureau, the Foreign Affairs Bureau, the Stamp Duty Bureau, and the Measurement and Weighing Bureau. After the expiration of the one-year probationary period, Yang Shixiang, the governor of Zhili, commented on him as "shrewd and capable, quite knowledgeable, and excellent", and asked him to stay in the province to make up for it.
