Chapter 108 The four hall masters came to the rescue for money
The Qing soldiers on the streets were in chaos, patrolling back and forth with guns, strictly checking pedestrians, and the city gate was closed by several Qing soldiers. Gong Ren felt a little lucky, if it was a little later, I was afraid that he would not be able to enter the city gate. Gong Ren saw that the shops were closed one after another, and the residents hid in their homes, and he and Xiao Qingying were standing alone on the street It was too conspicuous, so they had to hurry to the secret agency.
Gong Ren looked at the surroundings and saw that there were no suspicious people, and quickly knocked on the door, and as soon as he knocked, the door opened, and it turned out that Shi Jianru was about to go out.
Gong Ren grabbed him, dragged him to the courtyard and closed the door, and asked in a low voice, "Where do you want to go?" Shi Jianru said with a big grin: "I'll go and see what happened to the Governor's Mansion." Gong Ren lowered his voice and said, "It turns out that you blew up the Governor's Office." What else to see, don't die? ”
Shi Jianru said: "You don't know, the Dao of Heaven and Earth was dug up before yesterday, and 200 pounds of explosives were buried and did not go off. No way, yesterday I spent the night in the tunnel, lit the coil, and just rested for a while, and the explosives went off. ”
Gong Ren said: "It's too dangerous outside, now that the Qing soldiers are arresting people everywhere, you might as well hide." The teams of the Sanzhoutian uprising have all returned, and they are all on standby near Hong Kong, raising funds to do it again. We have to be careful here, don't look for anything else, there are some things I want to report to you! ”
Shi Jianru said: "I already know about the Eastern Crusade, so let's talk about it when I have time." It is precisely because of the failure that I want to blow up the old boy Deokshou, to dissipate the prestige of the enemy, and to grow our ambition. ”
Gong Ren asked again: "How is the uprising in the city?" Shi Jianru waved his hand and said, "Don't mention it, don't mention it, as soon as you disband, the uprising here will not be completed." Didn't they do it, I did! You have to make a big career to make it happen. ”
It turned out that Shi Jianru had already planned the uprising in Guangzhou, and he knew that there were more Han people than Manchus in Guangzhou to garrison Qing soldiers, and Manchus had always crowded out Han people. Outsiders only saw that they were safe and sound on the surface, but in fact the Manchus and Han had been grudges for a long time, so they formulated a strategy to unite the Han people and eliminate the Manchus. He took advantage of the small favors of inviting guests to dinner, went deep into the army, and guided some high-ranking officers according to the situation.
There was a commander surnamed Shao, who was quite fleshy and talented, and Shi Jianru secretly taught him how to develop the backbone, how to spy on secrets, and how to prepare for an uprising.
The plan formulated by himself and Commander Shao was to take the northeast of the city as the center of the uprising, and the southwest as the response, secretly attack the Manchu camp and the governor's mansion, and then occupy Guangzhou. Thousands of revolutionaries and triads outside the city of Guangzhou responded at the same time, and the time was set for September 15, but the revolutionary party did not have any ordnance and weapons, so the uprising could not be held as scheduled. He and Commander Shao changed their plans and set the time for October 10.
Who knew that on October 10, the Sanzhoutian Uprising broke out, and the city of Guangzhou suddenly became tense. Thinking of this, Shi Jianru said hatefully: "If Chinese are so timid and afraid, when will the revolution succeed and when will the Qing Dynasty be overthrown......
So at this time, Shi Jianru came up with a plan to assassinate Deshou again, if the assassination of Deshou is successful, it can also play a deterrent role in capturing the thief and capturing the king first, and taking the head of the enemy general among the ten thousand troops.
Gong Ren said: "I came back this time because I had a mission, and the more than 1,000 volunteers near Hong Kong had no pay at this time, and many military operations could not be completed. Let's see if you can raise some more money? Solve the urgent need. ”
Shi Jianru said: "If you want to talk about money, it is true that there is no money, it turned out that I spent a lot of money to contact the Qing army, and this time I bought all my family funds with explosives, and now I actually have neither money nor housing." However, I can also borrow from relatives and friends, and even if I borrow it, I want to give the rebels who revolt to have food and bullets. When I'm done with this, I'll start borrowing money right away. ”
Gongren said: "At this time, there is no point in going out, if Deshou is killed, it will be killed, and if he can't be killed, it will be his life, and there is nothing he can do." It is important to find a way to solve the problem of eating for the large army first. ”
Shi Jianru said: "Whether the bombing kills or not, I really don't know the bottom in my heart, and I can rest assured when I take a look." ”
No matter how the public tenacy tried to dissuade him, Shi Jianru just didn't listen, and he had to go out to see what was going on. Tang Qingying suddenly pulled out a scimitar from his waist, pointed at Shi Jianru and said, "You want to go, my scimitar won't let you go." ”
Shi Jianru smiled, pushed the scimitar and said, "This child, the adult's business, the child doesn't care." Tang Qingying said: "If your father doesn't let you go, you can't go." ”
Shi Jianru was annoyed, and said to Gong Ren with a dark face: "What do you let a child fool about?" Really! Gong Ren had no choice but to pull Tang Qingying out of the way and let Shi Jian go as in the past.
When the three of them went out, a sedan chair flashed from the side, Shi Jianru intercepted the sedan chair with great style, and asked the sedan chair man: "What was the sound just now?" The palanquin man said, "I heard from others that the Governor's Office was bombed." ”
Shi Jian asked arrogantly, "I don't know what happened to Lord Governor." ”
The palanquin man said, "I heard that Lord Deshou was shocked to the ground in a dream, and he went out of bed several feet, and he was so frightened that Lord Dekushou's soul fell off. However, the health is fine, there is no major incident, but the wall has collapsed several feet, and seven or eight houses in the vicinity have collapsed. ”
Gong Ren persuaded: "Since this is the case, what are you going to do?" Can't hide or can't hide? ”
Shi Jianru shook his head and said, "Young Master Ben is good-looking and lively, sedan chair man, you carry me to have a look." ”
The palanquin man had a difficult face, shook his head and said, "Young master, it's better for us not to go to this matter, for fear of getting into trouble." ”
Shi Jianru whispered to Gong Ren: "The explosives are only fifteen zhang away from the Deshou bedroom, how can so many explosives not kill him, this is strange?" I'm going to have to look at it and find out why. We don't have a post on our faces, what are we afraid of him doing? ”
Gong Ren shook his head and said, "You're the one who has nothing to do!" If you hit a disaster star, you can't dodge. ”
Shi Jianru didn't listen to Gongren's advice, and shouted at the palanquin man: "If you are told to go, you will go, if you don't leave quickly, just give you more money." ”
For the sake of money, the two palanquin men carried Shi Jianru to the governor's mansion leisurely. Before I arrived at the governor's mansion, I saw a large number of Qing soldiers gathered at the gate of the governor's mansion, and the guards were heavy, of course, there were many people watching the excitement next to it. Shi Jianru sat in the sedan chair leisurely, full of arrogance, relaxed and chic, not cowardly, couldn't help but stick his head out of the sedan chair to look at the excitement, looking left and right to see the eyes were not enough.
Gong Ren and Tang Qingying followed behind the sedan chair with fear, only to feel that there were Qing soldiers' eyes everywhere, and there were invisible killing intentions hidden in every corner.
Gong Ren didn't dare to slack off, carefully searched the chaotic crowd, and suddenly found that there was a familiar face flashing in the crowd, it was none other than the former enemy Liu Slanyan. Gong Ren was taken aback in his heart, thinking that it was not good, Liu Slanyan is now a high-ranking official in the governor's mansion, there must be nothing good here, he can't hide it, how can there be a hard collision, he wants to intercept the sedan chair quickly, but it is too late, one eye of Liu Slanting has already stared at the sedan chair, and the other eye is looking at the sky.
Without waiting for Shi Jian to get off the sedan chair, Liu Squint was already waiting next to the sedan chair, he gently opened the sedan curtain for Shi Jianru, and said with a wicked smile: "Young Master Shi, I haven't seen you for a long time, I've been waiting for you for a long time......"
Shi Jianru is a young man in the Xiguan area, often going in and out of the restaurant hall, and he also knows that this squinted eye is a high-ranking official of the Qing Dynasty, but he has to pretend not to know him, and waved his hand and said: "This gentleman, this young master doesn't know you, so I don't have time to talk to you." ”
Liu squinted his eyes but said with a smile: "You don't know me, I know you, who doesn't know Young Master Shi, who doesn't know that Young Master Shi not only makes friends with heroes in the rivers and lakes, but also walks around the barracks." ”
Liu's squinting words obviously contained sarcasm, and the murderous words with bad intentions had already been revealed from the words. When several Qing soldiers heard these words, they quickly took their weapons in their hands and moved closer to this side.
Gong Ren said to Tang Qingying anxiously: "It's not good! This squint is really hateful, but he knows me and is trying to get me. How good is that? Xiao Qingying said: "Dear father, I understand, I'll go up and entangle him, you go to save Shi Jianru." ”
Without waiting for Gong Ren to speak, Tang Qingying suddenly pounced on Liu Squint, knelt down and hugged his legs, crying and howling: "You uncle with no conscience, you will be gone for several years, and you will not send money to your family." You don't care if my grandmother dies, you unconscionable uncle......"
Xiao Qingying made such a fuss, which made Liu squint and laugh, and shouted and scolded: "Whose child is this, I don't know you, why are you so scoundrel, take me as a fool!" He tried his leg to break free of Tang Qingying's hand, but he didn't expect to break free after two struggles, and his heart suddenly became alert, thinking, this kid will definitely do martial arts, and his kung fu is not shallow.
Xiao Qingying desperately hugged Liu's slanted thighs, crying and making a fuss: "Ouch, my uncle with no conscience, why don't you even recognize your nephew!" Oh my poor grandmother...... Why are you so miserable......"
At this time, there was more excitement, circle after circle, Liu squinted and thought that he could not let Shi Jianru run, one hand grabbed Shi Jianru's hand tightly, and the other hand wanted to hit Xiao Qingying. And Tang Qingying hugged Liu Squint's leg with one hand, and freed up the other hand to point at Liu Squint's acupoint, but she didn't expect that although Liu Squint was an eye, it was an eye disease and a fast hand, and with a flick of her hand, Tang Qingying did not poke at the acupuncture point of Liu Squint. Tang Qingying clicked twice, but was also pulled aside by Liu Slanted with his hand one by one, but instead pinched Tang Qingying's wrist with his backhand, which made Xiao Qingying grin in pain, and couldn't help but say "Ouch-".
Gong Ren was so anxious in the crowd that he couldn't wait for his whole body to explode, he had the heart to rescue Shi Jianru by himself, but he was afraid that he would not be able to save him, but he even fell into it, and he was so anxious that his eyes were full of gold stars and cold sweat.
At this time, a person suddenly grabbed Gong Ren's hand and neck and said, "Where are you hiding, do you want to repay the debt?" I thought I wouldn't be able to see you, but I didn't expect God to have eyes and catch you again today. ”
Gong Ren turned his head and saw that it was Yang Hongjun, the master of the Hunan Jinlong Mountain Hall of the Elders' Association. At this time, Li Yunbiao, the master of the Tenglong Mountain Hall in Hubei, Yaoqing, the head of the Hulong Mountain Hall in Sichuan, and Gu Tianyou, the master of the Yuelong Mountain Hall in Jiangxi, also surrounded them and said in a gossipy manner: "Look where are you running?" "I still want to deny it, it's not that easy." "Can't I let you run anymore?"
Gong Ren was in a hurry, and suddenly came up with an idea, pointed to the sedan chair and said to Yang Hongjun: "Look at the sedan chair, that young man is our comrade, and the person blocking him is Qinggouzi." As long as we get that young man out, we can talk about money. ”
Yang Hongjun's eyes rolled, glanced at Gong Ren and said, "If you want to use us as a gunman, it's not so cheap, if you don't give money, we can't save people." ”
Gong Ren said anxiously: "If you don't go to save it, I'll save it, catch me, don't ask for your money." ”
Li Yunbiao was right when he heard it, and said to Gong Ren: "Then you can't divide it into five or five, but divide it into four or six." Yang Hongjun said: "It's not good to divide four or six, you have to divide three or seven, we want seven and you want three." ”
Gong Ren said angrily, "Do you know what it's called? This is called falling into the well and robbing while the fire is burning. Li Yunbiao said unreasonably: "It doesn't matter if he robs or not, he will take a rabbit into his arms first." ”
Gong Ren felt that the situation was extremely critical, and he couldn't care about anything now, so he could only say fiercely: "Okay, I agreed to your conditions." ”
Yang Hongjun nodded when he heard this, he was indeed not a loss to the hall master of Hunan Jinlong Mountain, and as soon as he said hello, more than a dozen elder members had already surrounded him, and followed the four hall masters to Liu Xianyan.
When these people came to Liu Slanyan, they didn't say a word, they raised their hands to fight, and they raised their legs to kick. Liu squinted his eyes and saw that his head was not good, and as soon as he shouted, dozens of Qing soldiers rushed over and fought with the people of the Elders' Association. At this time, the people who watched the excitement around were afraid to wrap themselves in it, and they shouted and screamed, and quickly escaped, and became a mess.
Gong Ren saw that Shi Jianru was still standing there stupidly, so he pushed aside the crowd and rushed over, pulling him away.
Liu squinted and saw a back figure pulling Shi Jianru away, so anxious that he shouted: "Can't let him run, can't let him run-" But at that time, people were in chaos, adults were crying and children screaming, who still listened to him screaming, and he had already been pushed by the flow of people to not know the east, west, north and south.
Gong Ren pulled Shi Jianru and fled quickly in the cracks. Shi Jianru was not worried about Tang Qingying, and whispered to Gong Ren: "What is wrong with this child, it's too unreassuring." Gong Ren said: "Xiao Qingying is very clever, don't worry about her, you are the most worried." Now that Liu has recognized you with slanted eyes, I'm afraid you've been exposed, so hurry up and run for your life! ”
Unexpectedly, hundreds of Qing soldiers lined up in front of them, blocking the way, and pedestrians had to go through their strict examination one by one before they could pass. At this time, Shi Jianru was still fearless, he pushed Gong Ren and said, "Brother Gong Ren, the matter has come to this, let's resign ourselves to fate." If you can go out, continue to follow Mr. Sun, and if you can't get out, you can leave a name for future generations! The two nodded, and then walked forward calmly and unusually calmly.
The Qing soldiers stared at the people who walked in front of them one by one, and from time to time someone was searched up and down, Shi Jianru swaggered forward, showing a slight smile to the Qing soldiers around him, and seeing that he walked through the wall of Qing soldiers, someone suddenly shouted: "It's him!" ”
This shout immediately caused a panic, and before Shi Jianru could react, the Qing soldiers rushed up and tied Shi Jianru like a rice dumpling.
It turned out that the person who pointed at Shi Jianru was the landlord who rented Shi Jianru's house, and this time his house was blown up and his family was killed, so he thought that Shi Jianru dug the tunnel and put the explosives. The Qing soldiers searched Shi Jianru's body again and found a method for preparing explosives written in German.
Gong Ren shook his head helplessly, at this moment, with his own ability, even ten Gong Ren couldn't save Shi Jianru's life, so he could only watch Shi Jianru being captured by the Qing soldiers who were hugging him.
Shi Jianru was taken to the Nanhai County Office. Pei Jingfu, the commander of Nanhai County, knew that Shi Jianru was a descendant of Shi Kefa, a national hero who fought against the Qing Dynasty in the late Ming Dynasty, and his grandfather Shi Cheng had edited the Hanlin of the Qing Dynasty, and he was currently a well-known rich family and well-known person in the Xiguan area, so he did not dare to treat Shi Jianru like an ordinary prisoner. He thought that Shi Jianru was a young master, where he had suffered a lot of hardships and tribulations, whether soft or hard, fooling him into confessing to the revolutionary party, and then giving him a light sentence. So when Pei Jingfu saw Shi Jianru being pushed in, he hurriedly asked someone to loosen Shi Jianru's ties and arrange for him to rest in a good room.
After a while, Pei Jingfu washed his face and cleaned his face, changed into a clean official uniform, gently entered Shi Jianru's house, arched his hand to Shi Jianru, and said with a smile: "Young Master Shi, don't come to harm, the young master has arrived at your mansion, I am really fortunate to have three lives, and I am shining!" If there is anything that is rude to you down there, just say it, and I will punish them. ”
Shi Jianru rubbed his sleepy eyes and said listlessly: "Young master, I'm here, if you have anything to say tomorrow, I'll sleep first." Pei Jingfu smiled all over his face, and said repeatedly: "Okay, okay, the young master will rest first, and it's not too late to wake up if you have anything to say." Pei Jingfu hurriedly arranged for Shi Jianru to rest, and sent dozens of Qing soldiers to surround Shi Jianru's house, for fear that the revolutionary party would come to rob people.
Shi Jianru slept for a day and a night, and slept enough of all the sleep that he hadn't slept in the past few days of digging tunnels and blowing up Deshou. When I woke up, I only felt full of energy and refreshed, but I didn't bother to get up, so I smoothed out my experience over the years.
Although he was born in a wealthy family and had good conditions, he studied hard since he was a child and had the idea of saving the country and the people. After the First Sino-Japanese Naval War, China was defeated and ceded land to pay reparations, and whenever he discussed the current situation with others, his grief and indignation overflowed, and he often vowed to do the world's first and foremost causes. I had been to Macao myself, and at that time the Japanese had set up the East Asian Tongwen Society in Macao, which was enthusiastic about the Chinese revolution and had close contacts with the Chinese Revolutionary Party. I often go to the tandem myself, and I have the same opinion as the people in the meeting, and the people in the meeting suggest that if you have the opportunity, you can go to Japan to increase your knowledge. He first went to Hong Kong to get acquainted with Chen Shaobai and others, joined the Xingzhong Society, and then went to Shanghai, where he met Bi Yongnian, a comrade from Hunan, and became friends with people with lofty ideals in Hunan and Hubei, and later went to Tokyo to visit Sun Yat-sen.
The two of them talked on their knees, talking about the situation in China and about the major revolutionary events, and they talked for a week, and the more they talked, the more excited they became, and finally they said to Sun Yat-sen: "At present, China is already an eventful season, and it is not the time for us to sit here and talk emptyly, I want to return to the motherland, develop the revolution, and overthrow the Qing Dynasty." So he generously said goodbye to Sun Yat-sen and returned to Guangdong.
At this time, the governor of Guangdong was Tan Zhonglin, who was stupid and greedy for money, and people complained, it was a good time for the uprising, but the uprising did not have enough strength, and he could only plan slowly. Soon after, the Qing government sent Li Hongzhang again, Li Hongzhang had a high prestige, complete military equipment, and secret planning, so it was difficult to start. I had to go to the mountains slightly, contact the party, and plan secretly, and gradually gained some eyebrows. In May and June, when the Boxers made a big move, they consulted with the Xingzhong Society, believing that the opportunity should not be lost and that they should immediately revolt. It's a pity that there was not enough money in the meeting, so he sold all his family's land and property to use it as revolutionary funds. People who were at odds with themselves preached everywhere, saying that Sun Yat-sen was going to seize the provincial capital, and he was really the forerunner, so frightened that his family ran to Macao, complaining about himself, and thinking that he had affected the clan......
Shi Jianru rested, got up to rinse his mouth and wash his face, and walked back and forth in the house. He looked at the beautiful scenery outside the window for a while, and shook his head and chanted a few Tang poems for a while, which didn't look like he was imprisoned at all, but like he was traveling and staying in a big hotel to rest.
Pei Jingfu couldn't sleep, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to get something out of Shi Jianru's mouth and lose a good opportunity to get promoted and make a fortune, but he was also afraid that Shi Jianru would not eat hard and soft, so that his dog bite and urine bubble would be empty.
Hearing that Shi Jianru was up, Pei Jingfu hurriedly entered Shi Jianru's house, and said to Shi Jianru with a smile: "The young master is resting well." Shi Jianru combed his hair in the mirror and said, "It's okay, it's so-so." Pei Jingfu shook his head, sighed and said, "You slept well, I didn't sleep well, alas, the official body is not free." ”
Shi Jianru said sarcastically: "Can you compare with me, I am a common man, leisurely, you are an official of the Qing Dynasty, you have to work for state affairs!" ”
Pei Jingfu frowned, and then said with a humble face: "We can help each other, I am in trouble right now, only you can help me." Only I can help you with your problems. ”
Shi Jianru smiled and said: "Let's not talk about who will help whom, Young Master Ben is hungry, give me a bowl of noodles to eat first, and then let's talk about who helps whom." Pei Jingfu smiled slightly and said, "Isn't this easy to do," and hurriedly arranged for the cook to serve a large bowl of Yangchun noodles.
After Shi Jianru put down a bowl of Yangchun noodles, he was more energetic and confident. Pei Jingfu couldn't wait any longer, so he said, "You have slept, eaten, and drank, so please help me, right?" Shi Jianru said, "What can I do to help you?" ”
Pei Jingfu said: "Just tell your comrades and masterminds." ”
Shi Jianru frowned and said: "Why do I listen to this so unpleasantly, I am neither a bandit nor a green forest, I am an upright revolutionary party, a big politician with brains, our goal is to overthrow the Manchu government and establish a united government......
Pei Jingfu held back his anger, listened to Shi Jianru's class, and thought: If you are angry, you will be angry, no matter what, he just needs to confess.
Pei Jingfu patiently listened to Shi Jianru's class, and asked with a smile: "Excuse me, did you put the explosives in the Governor's Mansion?" Shi Jianru smiled and said, "What if I put it?" Pei Jingfu arched his hand at him and said, "Okay, it's not a loss for the revolutionary party, a good man is a good man." ”
Shi Jianru asked Pei Jingfu again: "I don't know something, I don't know if you know?" Pei Jingfu said: "As long as I know, I will tell you." Shi Jianru said: "I don't know why the 200-pound explosives failed to blow up Deshou's house, I don't know what the reason is?" ”
Pei Jingfu also smiled and said: "I heard them say that only a small part of the explosives were blown up, and the other part was not exploded, and you still have no experience, so you put less detonators." ”
Shi Jianru suddenly realized and said, "Next time, I will definitely put more detonators." ”
Pei Jingfu impatiently asked the official to prepare the four treasures of the study for Shi Jianru, and said to Shi Jianru: "After talking about it for so long, we are also friends, I see that you are also very righteous, can you write about this matter, who is the mastermind behind it?" Shi Jianru said casually: "This is easy to do, I just write it." ”
Pei Jingfu was overjoyed when he heard this, and arched his hand to Shi Jianru and said: "If it is written, I will definitely meet Lord Deshou and ask him to spare you from death, with the merits of your ancestors, with your fame, and my face, I think Lord Deshou will definitely show mercy." Good! Don't bother, don't bother. Facing Shi Jianru, who was firm and confident, bold and generous, Pei Jingfu smiled and walked backwards out of the house.
Shi Jianru wrote in the house for a day, unceremoniously about the good dishes and good meals served, eating when he should eat, drinking when he should drink, and writing about more than 40 people in an extremely fair manner.
