1908 Far East Maniac Chapter 209 Transnational Case

rì dangkong. It's already down. Chengdu in early summer has a bit of heat.

The Sichuan Governor's Yamen is located in the center of Chengdu. It is separated from the Chengdu General Yamen in the southwest by a few streets. Although the style is not as good as the general's yamen. But it's in a great position. Right at the intersection. The traffic is very good.

After all the restoration. The headquarters of the Republican Army was chosen here. But the commander-in-chief gave an order. The General Headquarters was moved to the General Yamen in Chengdu. Later, it moved to the Sichuan-Han Railway Company. As for the Sichuan Governor Yamen. First as the General Staff was located. Later, it was ceded to the Political Propaganda Committee.

Now the General's Yamen is the General Staff of the Republican Army. The Governor's Yamen was stationed as a political propaganda commissioner. The so-called "cultural and martial arts". Pens, guns, and guns are all in the city. This Chengdu city is as stable as a rock.

In addition to serving as a political propaganda commissar, the Yamen of the Governor of Sichuan. At the same time, it is also the office point of the city zhèngfǔ. All the civilian departments under the jurisdiction of the army are located here. Due to the shortage of cadres. Therefore, most of the staff of the city zhèngfǔ were intellectual youths recruited from the vicinity of Chengdu - the clerks of the yamen in the Qing Dynasty were also served by the army. But they're just helping with the work. As for the majority of the officials in the former yamen. They were all thrown into the county jail by the commander-in-chief on the basis of the Sichuan-Han Road money deficit case. It's a good way to squeeze their oil and water. Subsidize military supplies. By the way, calm the anger of the people.

It hasn't been long since it was recovered. All kinds of things are busy. The staff of the city zhèngfǔ are also busy all day and night. It is the "Guangfu meal" that is also the unified ration of the army. Meat has. It's satisfying, too. Rest for half an hour after lunch. You have to put it into the work. The bad habits of officialdom in the former Qing Dynasty can be said to have been swept away.

I had lunch today. As usual. The civil servants of zhèngfǔ finished resting. They have rushed back to their respective office areas. Ready to go to work, but not waiting for the start of work drums. But he heard a commotion outside. Some people rushed out in a hurry. But I saw a large number of people pouring into the street in front of the door, and pedestrians on the street also stopped. Look at the procession of the Governor's Yamen.

It was a squad of Republican officers. At the front were eight strong soldiers. Split into two groups. Each group carried a very long pig cage. Shouting the trumpet, he walked towards the governor's yamen.

The staff of the city hurriedly went up to fight this knowledge. The pig cage contained prisoners. The reason why it was carried to this governor's yamen. Because the commander-in-chief intends to interrogate these prisoners here. These prisoners are no ordinary prisoners. They were Manchu diehards who tried in vain to assassinate the commander-in-chief of the Republican Army. These people also intend to cause chaos in the city. Massacre of civilians.

The civil servants suddenly realized. The gunshots that came from the Qiying camp in the morning were heard by all the residents of Chengdu. Later, another cannon came to everyone's panic. So there was a mutiny in the garrison of the city. Fortunately, the Republican Army pressed in time. The gunfire quickly fell silent again, and the panic in the city quickly subsided.

Afterwards the news came out that the commander-in-chief personally waved the flag camp and arrested a group of Manchu diehards. Killed a dozen. A few were captured alive. They were all imprisoned in the prison of the general's yamen, because these diehards resisted arrest. So there was a battle in the flag camp, and the Republican army used artillery. Only two shots were fired, and that was the sound of the cannons heard by the people.

It's strange that people don't have people. Because the General Staff has a military court. At present, it is in charge of the trial of all military and civilian cases. It was presided over by Wu Luzhen, the chief military judge of the Peace Army. It is said that the case of the assassination of the commander-in-chief should also be in his charge. If you want to try it, you should also go to the general's yamen, where the General Staff is located. Why were the prisoners sent to the yamen of the governor of the city? And there are only two main culprits arraigned this time. None of the accomplices were mentioned. It's also weird.

I didn't wait for the civil servants of the city to finish their discussions. Ji Yulin, the acting mayor of Chengdu, has entered the governor's yamen. Command his subordinates to clean up the main hall. Get set up. Act as a courtroom.

In view of the fact that there are too many people who are boisterous. Ji Yulin does not send jǐng to guard the sentry. At the same time, a hundred people were randomly selected. As a citizen representative of the observer. Let them enter the governor's yamen.

After the citizen representatives went in. More than a dozen years old. Each of them wore an armband on their left arm. The words "jury" were written on it. The people looked curious. Ask a few of the staff officers and adjutant who are maintaining order. Only then did I know that these people were all so-called jurors. Now it's a republic. The torture law of the past doesn't work anymore. The case will be tried later. The juror is the judge's assistant. Whether the defendant is guilty or not depends on their words.

Before the people returned. The secretary general of the Political Propaganda Committee, Chief Zhang, has already walked over. Accompanied by several blonde and blue-eyed foreigners, they also came to the main gate of the governor's yamen. Full of foreign words, he invited those foreigners into the yamen. The bystanders inquired of each other. That's what you know. Those foreigners are beautiful and German. Among them are also two big shots. One was Weiss, the German consul in Chengdu. One was his assistant and translator Fischel. They were invited by the Commander-in-Chief. Those who came to observe the interrogation. Now it's a republic. It also allows foreigners to see the progress of Chinese law.

Zhang Jiyang accompanied the foreigners to the main hall of the yamen. The guards brought in some Taishi chairs. First, the jurors were invited to sit down. Then I asked these foreigners to sit in a slightly lower position, left and right.

All of you are waiting. I learned the taste of foreigners. It means that they have prepared Indian black tea. Foreigners hold fine porcelain teacups. Curiously, he looked around in the governor's yamen. did not wait for the foreigners to build an objective evaluation of this ancient orient. The commander-in-chief had rushed to the governor's yamen surrounded by the guards. After shaking hands with foreigners. He took a seat in the main hall of the Yamen. A slap of surprise. He ordered the prisoner to be taken to court.

The two defendants, who had been tied up with flowers, followed a group of soldiers to the main hall. The soldiers shouted loudly. Ordered them to kneel.

"Ye would rather die than kneel against the thief," one of them cursed.

"Yaga!" The other was also angry. I also scolded a few words in a foreign accent. But few people understand.

"Look. One Manchu terrorist, one Oriental terrorist. These two men planned and carried out the assassination of revolutionary soldiers. It's an international conspiracy! ”

The commander-in-chief was another stunned shot. The words are amazing. Let a few subordinates around me learn a new term.

The German consul and an American businessman stood up at the same time. A few foreign words were said to the commander-in-chief. Fischel, the translator of the German consul, translated their words into Chinese.

"Before the conviction. The suspect is also respectable. It is hoped that His Excellency the General will allow them to stand for interrogation. And. I heard that in the morning, the soldiers paraded the suspects in bamboo cages containing pigs, and we thought that there was indeed a bit of a point. ”

What several international friends said is very reasonable. I've also been in a foreign country. Know the meaning of civilized law enforcement. Today's invitation to observe the interrogation is to invite a few people to supervise the interrogation process. Packed in a pig cage

Not my idea. This is the soldiers are too angry. Some overdid it to wake them up to the problem. The Manchu kings of the past did not understand what civilization was. Now China has entered the era of republicanism. Society will become more and more civilized. ”

The commander-in-chief waved his hand and motioned for the soldiers to let the two prisoners stand for interrogation. But the rope was not untied.

"Please jurors take a look at these two defendants. One of them is a flag man. One is Rì himself. It was they who planned the assassination of people. At the same time, they are trying to sow chaos in the city. ”

The commander-in-chief's voice fell. The jurors stared intently at the two inmates. Curiously looking.

In fact, the crowd had heard about it before they came in. Among the "terrorists" arrested this time. There was an Oriental killed by an Oriental man, and there was also an Oriental among the dozen or so "terrorists". And they were amazed. I also want to know what the commander-in-chief will do with this captured Oriental. After all, it was well known to the world that this "Far Eastern madman" dealt with Rì himself, and now Rì himself rushed to Chengdu to assassinate the commander-in-chief. It is also difficult for the commander-in-chief to order someone to parade this Oriental terrorist in a pig cage.

Compared with. The old man of the banner man who is a brocade is not so eye-catching. The flag man was pushed down by the commander-in-chief, and the commander-in-chief of the flag man has always hated him to the core. There are many bannermen who want to assassinate the commander-in-chief, and Duanjin is not the most, one. It's definitely not the first, it's just that he dares to think and do. Even pulled up the Orientals. It's also a character in the flag man.

"Smack!"

The commander-in-chief slapped twice in a row. Pulls people's attention back. "Defendant. The accusations just made against you. Did you hear me? Do you want to defend this? The commander-in-chief asked.

The defendant snorted coldly. I didn't pay attention to the interrogation at all.

"That's to hear clearly. Bring your certificate! The commander said.

"Bring a witness!" Guard Tian Jinfu followed.

A person is walking in. Flag man dressed up. This person was recognized by the gentry and the representatives of the townspeople. It was the former Chengdu flag camp inspector Niktuna.

"I've seen the Commander-in-Chief!"

Niktonah entered the main hall. Ma Li punched a thousand at the hall. I know the rules. Now the republic zhèngfǔ does not kneel down. So he just bowed.

"What you see and hear. Knowing and listening carefully. ”

Perhaps it was because of this classical yamen building that I was emotionally infected. Zhao Bei unconsciously used an official tone. Also classical.

Nicoltona chirped. He was ordered to "enter the enemy camp" before and after, and he told it through a sound painting. This person may have gone to the teahouse to listen to the story. The story is told at some level. The audience quickly entered the corner sè. It is also a relish to listen to.

Zhao Bei is a little different from everyone else. I don't have much interest in this story. After all, he'd heard the story once in the morning. Although he is not disgusted by Nicotona's bragging. But in the end, the arrest of this assassination group was crooked. A taste of tricks. If he hadn't suddenly wanted to bury a few "nails" in the flag camp. Perhaps these "terrorists" have already carried out the operation. Even if the assassination is not successful. It is also likely to cause chaos in the city. Remembering this. Zhao Bei was a little afraid.

The struggle was brutal and fierce. Of course Zhao Bei understands this truth. Otherwise. He won't have the guards with him anymore. But now it seems. Guards alone will not do. He also had to change his behavior. Reduce the number of public appearances at birth occasions. This time, the enemy's wishful thinking was to carry out long-range sniping on him when he came forward to pacify the people on the weeping street. Not a close-quarters assassination. Although the opponent does not have a professional sniper rifle in his hand. But judging by the battle in the flag camp in the morning. The opponent's sniper pistol is quite powerful. If Nicktonah hadn't managed to leave a note at the junction when he entered the city. I'm afraid that rìben sniper will never show his marksmanship in the flag camp.

"It seems necessary to equip the guards with professional sniper rifles. And conduct counter-sniper training on them. I just don't know if there are sniper rifles with scopes in this era? ”

With this in mind. Zhao yawned. He rubbed his red eye circles. I didn't go to bed until dawn today. As soon as dawn Ketuna's note reached the General Headquarters. Let him not immediately start rounding up the assassins. Before, only slept for less than two hours. In addition, I didn't sleep well in the first two days. This is very sleepy. After the arrest of the terrorists in the morning, he was busy presiding over the pacification meeting. At noon, he squinted for a moment. But that's not enough to compensate for the day's work.

Look to Nick Thonga. He's still rambling on and on about storytelling. Zhao Bei whispered a few words to Tian Jinfu. Tian Jinfu left in a hurry. A moment later, I brought him a cup of black tea. This half cup of black tea goes down. Finally dispelled the sleepiness slightly.

At this time. Naniktunah has finished telling the story. He was standing at the foot of the hall with his hands down. As for those jurors. is in the process of exchanging heads. Several foreigners who were watching were also whispering.

This is not an ordinary thing. Rì himself was involved in the conspiracy. It was an international assassination. And the target of the operation was a well-known Far Eastern general. This is a political assassination. If this happens to a European power. That's a diplomatic storm. If it takes place in the Balkans...... The German consul did not dare to think any further.

"Commander-in-Chief has not rained|. Act decisively. and so on. This time, the enemy chieftain yīn plotted to massacre the people and frame the revolutionary army. In is yīn sinister cunning. A gentleman who acted as an inquisitor stood up. Eloquent.

Zhao Bei fixed his eyes. He recognized the man. It's called Fu Huafeng. It is the salt law road appointed by the original pseudo-Qing court. Zhao Erfeng, Minister of Frontier Affairs of Sichuan and Yunnan, raised a Western-style figure. It is said that he has some talents. Moreover, Zhao Erxun's surrender was also the result of this human persuasion. Zhao Bei originally planned to entrust him with a heavy responsibility. But then Zhao Erxun's butler slandered the commander-in-chief. said that although Fu Huafeng persuaded Zhao Erxun to surrender at that time. But at the same time, he offered an idea of "descending Yuan but not descending Zhao". As a result, the commander-in-chief's favor for this person was suddenly lost. So after the recovery of Chengdu. This army zhèngfǔ did not arrange a place for him. The commander-in-chief kicked the man to the Chengdu Chamber of Commerce. I made a commissioner.

Perhaps knowing his sins Commander-in-Chief. This committee member Fu is also interesting. In these few years, he honestly assisted the General Chamber of Commerce in dealing with the aftermath of the Chuanhan Road money deficit case. It's also considered diligent and diligent. Now he was the first to stand up and praise the wisdom of the Commander-in-Chief. This position has changed very quickly.

Is it a good man who knows the times? Officialdom is mixed. Learn to see the wind and rudder.

"What Commissioner Fu said is right! These terrorists are cunning and cunning. almost ruined the good situation after the recovery of Chengdu. ”

The commander-in-chief gave a look of approval. asked, "That's according to Commissar Fu's opinion." What should be done with these two people? ”
