Chapter 108: Exophytic Branches
On the night of Shan Feng's raid on the capital stronghold of the Beijing-Tianjin Alliance, which was a great success, another plot to assassinate Yuan Shikai was brewing in a courtyard in Xicheng. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoThis murder plan is completely a change from Ge Yunfei's butterfly effect.
The cold wind was raging outside, and a charcoal fire inside shimmered with a blazing bright light and emitted a thick heat. Under the shadow of the lamp, the master and servant talked. "Master, I found 3 ringing horses, all of them are outlaws, and I fished them out of the prison." "You didn't tell anyone about it, did you?" "Master, the slave guarantees with his life, you know what I know, God knows." "Very well, you let those three people in!"
When the master saw his subordinates leaving, he had a hideous expression on his face. This person is Liangbi's brother Gui Tong, he came from the CD to mourn for his brother, and after learning about the incident, he decided that Yuan Shikai had colluded with Ge Yunfei in Shandong, and he got rid of his brother through Ge Yunfei's hand. In addition, the Manchu Qing Dynasty stepped down, and Yuan Shikai was the culprit, and his family hatred and national hatred forced him to take risks. Hearing the sound of the door, Gui Tong hurriedly put on his mask, and the servant led three people in. "This is the master, please report to your home!"
"In the next Zhang Tonghua!" "Under Huang Huailian!" "In Xia Chen Changyu!" The three big men clasped their fists in salute. "Let you do something, I think you guys know it!" "Take people's money and eliminate disasters for others, I don't care about the reason!" "Very good, this is 50,000 taels of silver tickets, pay half of them first. The other 50,000 taels of silver tickets will be paid off together after the matter is completed. Your goal is to blow up a wagon, and you don't need to know who the people in the wagon are. The attack was set at the intersection of Donghuamen Street and Wangfujing Street??????ć ā
Gui Tong finished explaining the task and continued: "These are three bombs, you just need to blow up the carriage." In addition, these 3 pistols are used for self-defense, and I wish you all success! "I'm going to do my best, and I'm going to ask the Lord to hear the good news!" The three men left with bombs and pistols.
"Master, your great revenge is about to be avenged, and Yuan Shikai's death is here." The servant Xianmei Guitong smiled and said: "You have done a good job in this matter, come and I will toast you with a glass of wine!" The slave took the wine and said, "Serve the master, and the slave should be due." ā
The servant drank the wine in one gulp, and suddenly his expression was strange, and a sharp pain came from his abdomen. "Master, you ????" "I'm sorry, it's just that those three can't come back alive, just in case you can't live either. Rest assured, I will take care of your family! The minion was bleeding from the corners of his mouth, his pupils dilated, and he lay dead on the table. Gui Tong got up and quietly slipped out, disappearing into the night. This mansion was rented by the slave 3 days ago, and no one has seen him on the left and right, so even if he finds it here, it is impossible to expose it.
On this day, the street was full of people, and it was a peaceful scene. In the North Sanshun refreshment spot at the intersection of Donghuamenwai Street and Wangfujing Street, tea customers gathered as usual to discuss the current situation. There were three big men sitting in the corner, seemingly indifferent to the people's talk, but their eyes were looking out the window, and their faces showed an anxious expression, looking nervous.
This angle has a good view and can clearly see the scene of Donghuamen Street. "Big brother, the person we are waiting for the attack must be a high-ranking official!" Huang Huailian muttered quietly. "I don't know how powerful this bomb is, and if it's good or not!" Chen Changyu agreed.
"The employer is not an idle person, and he will be 100,000 taels of silver as soon as he makes a move. We were able to get out of prison because of the employer's covert help. Damn, it's a rotten life, no matter who he is, he got the silver and flew away, so be happy and happy! Zhang Tonghua reached out and touched the bomb in his arms to relieve his nervousness.
The pedestrian at the corner of the street is weaving, and the figure of a single peak appears. After receiving Ge Yunfei's order, he did not dare to slack off, and immediately began to secretly control Yuan Shikai's travel. According to the confession of the assassination members of the Alliance, the assassination location was this street. After on-the-spot inspection, it turned out that this street corner was a dangerous place.
"Director, you're here!" "What's the matter?" "No suspicious circumstances found! After another hour, Yuan Shikai's carriage would leave Bauhinia City, pass through Donghuamen Street, turn to Wangfujing Street, and then arrive at the new Yamen of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. After careful investigation, this junction is the best place to attack. Shan Feng looked at the bustling crowd at the intersection, and his eyes were aimed at the Sanshun refreshment in the north of the road. Tell the brethren to keep an eye on pedestrians at intersections and shoot them to death on the spot if they find them. ā
Shan Feng continued: "You have to fight quickly, you can't be caught," "Your subordinates understand." After Shan Feng finished speaking, he aimed his eyes at Sanshun refreshment, which was full of friends and fish, and with his professional characteristics, he keenly sniffed out the danger. Soon, the sound of horses' hooves and the shouts of soldiers came from Donghuamen Street, and I saw a caravan surrounded by the front and rear horse teams, showing off its might. Pedestrians on the streets, knowing that the big man was coming, took refuge on both sides of the street, and the caravans and horse caravans attracted everyone's attention.
Single-peak is highly alert and undisturbed, and his eyes are always aimed at Sanshun refreshments. The convoy had just arrived at the intersection when three strong men suddenly rushed out of the refreshments, only to see them holding bombs in their hands, and the fuse of the bomb was emitting green smoke. said that it was too late, but Shan Feng didn't have time to think and quickly pulled out his pistol to shoot, and one of his subordinates also pulled out a pistol to shoot. Zhang Tonghua, who rushed in front, was knocked down, and Huang Huailian, who was behind, was shot. The subordinate hit Chen Changyu in the leg, but he dropped the bomb.
Zhang Huatong and Huang Huailian were shot in the body, and the bomb was not far away. Chen Changyu was shot in the leg, and although the bomb was dropped, he lost his crosshair and the bomb fell into the horse team behind. With three violent explosions, the scene was enveloped in gunsmoke. The horses pulling the caravan were disturbed and did not stop at all, and ran forward quickly, and the horse team in front was shocked, escorting the caravan to Wangfujing Street. The rear horse team was in disarray, and the unwounded guards were shocked and quickly chased the carriage away.
Seeing that the caravan was unharmed, Shan Feng immediately led his subordinates to "escape". Suddenly attacked, Yuan Shikai arrived at the Foreign Affairs Mansion with a pale face, and entered the mansion surrounded by guards. Yuan Shikai sat down and was still shocked, and one of his subordinates said worriedly: "My lord, fortunately, I blame my subordinates for their poor protection, and their subordinates deserve death!" "Who attacked the officer?" "My lord, it must be a revolutionary party. The guards saw someone helping and opened fire on the attacker. If no one is secretly helping, the consequences are unimaginable. ā
"Who is secretly helping?" Yuan Shikai seemed to regain his composure. "I don't know!" "Do you have to find out who is secretly helping you?" "Obey the order, and the subordinates will investigate!" An hour later, Cao Kun, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, came in dressed in military uniform (Yuan Shikai had already appointed Cao Kun as the supreme commander of the Beijing Praetorian Guard""My Excellency, the attackers were three, two were shot dead on the spot, and one was captured in the leg and was being interrogated. The Assassin's bomb was so powerful that two horses were killed, two soldiers were killed, and seven were wounded. ā
"My lord, 4 people died and 12 were wounded!" "These people have been implicated and killed because of me, and you have to deal with them properly for me." "My lord, someone secretly helped in this attack. After examination, two of the attackers were found to have died from bullets. "I know the situation, you go down!" At this time, Yang Du hurriedly entered, "My lord, your body is fine, the lower officials were shocked into a cold sweat when they heard it!" "The old man has a big life, and he escaped a catastrophe!" Then Yuan Shikai briefly recounted the attack.
Yang Du said: "There is no doubt that the attackers must have been committed by the revolutionary party. And those who secretly help are supportive of adults. Your Excellency, it is imperative that the decision of the South and the North to discuss peace should be immediately made public, so as to eliminate the factors of instability on all sides and make the overall situation uncertain. "Go ahead and tell the South to send representatives to discuss the republican plan." After interrogation, the assassin learned that it was the ringing horse on the rivers and lakes that was instructed by others, and that it was not the revolutionary party. However, in order to avoid such a thing from happening again, Yuan Shikai quickly opened the curtain of peace between the north and the south.
A few days later, in the restaurant on Wangfu Street, a subordinate reported: "Director, according to the information obtained from the Praetorian Guard, three assassins who attacked Yuan Shikai's convoy were killed, two were shot and killed on the spot, and one was shot in the leg and captured. After interrogation, the captured assassins confessed that the three assassins turned out to be Xiangma in the northern part of the capital and were detained in the capital prison. It was someone who brought money out of the prison for the three men. According to the confession, the Beijing Police Department found the contact person who contacted them dead in a house in Maoer Lane, Dongcheng. ā
"After a search, the liaison was poisoned in this courtyard, which was rented by the mastermind behind the incident a few days before the incident. Since there are no new leads, the police station has closed the case, which is a photo of the deceased's contact person that we obtained through the police department. The three assassins were specially crafted, and they all carried Browning pistols, and it seems that the mastermind behind this is no ordinary person. "We must find out who is behind the scenes, and we must eliminate hidden dangers. Tonight, we're going to look at the house and look for clues. ā
That night, Shan Feng, accompanied by two subordinates, came to the mansion. The door of the house was affixed with the seal of the police station, and the case was hastily closed, which was directly related to the establishment of the Beijing Police Station, and no one was dedicated to handling the case in the troubled times. Shan Feng climbed over the wall and entered the courtyard with two subordinates, the furnishings in the house had not changed, and the food on the table was still there, but it was a little dry. A careful search yielded no leads. "Director, the person behind the scenes is a temporarily rented house, and he only appeared here on the day of the incident, so there can't be any clues." One of his subordinates was helpless.
"Director, I found something suspicious?" A subordinate stood at the table and looked at it. "What's the doubt?" Shan Feng walked over to the table. "Director, look at the table full of Sichuan cuisine, this dish is the husband and wife's lungs, this is the rabbit head of Shuangliu mother, and this is the Pengzhou nine-foot duck. It can be concluded that the people behind the scenes are southerners, possibly Sichuanese. The young man who spoke was Peng Chuan, and before joining the "organization", he had worked in the Beijing patrol camp. "Why do you know so much?" "Director, my ancestors are from Sichuan!"
Through the investigation of the nearby Sichuan restaurant, after analysis, Gui Tong surfaced, he is Liangbi's brother and works as an official in the CD Overseer's Mansion. The result was unexpected, Gui Tong's life was worry-free, but spending money to buy the murderer must spend money to eliminate the disaster. Gui Tong took out 200,000 taels of silver to ensure the safety of the Beijing family. Afterwards, Shan Feng personally sent Gui Tong away at the station and asked him never to set foot in the capital again.
