The news of the full thorn in the field soon spread to Kurakoku. Moreover, this news also arrived at the presidential palace in Dizhou Chuanmeng, and Zhao Bei learned the news only half an hour after Yang Du's assassination.

This matter has absolutely nothing to do with Zhao Bei, Yang Du, as an important chess piece for him, is still useful, of course Zhao Bei will not cut his wings. So, this assassination case is very strange. Zhao Bei was also confused.

Who planned the assassination of Yang Du? This question lingered in Zhao Bei's heart, making him a little

。

Now Yang Du has pushed the public opinion of the "lifelong presidential system" to a key point, and the next thing is to make persistent efforts to pave the way for public opinion for Zhao Bei to achieve "politics", but at this time, someone wants Yang Du's life, which is really worrying.

According to the telegram taken from Nanjing, before the Assassins retreated, they threw a large number of leaflets, on which they called themselves "Bloodlight Team".

According to Zhao Bei's memories before he crossed over, in modern history, there was indeed a so-called "Blood Light Group", but it was a tool used by Yuan Shikai to fight against dissidents, and now Yuan Shikai has long been ancient, where did this "Blood Light Team" come from?

Could it be the remnants of the Alliance? This is a relatively low possibility, since the "Canton Incident", the League has collapsed, the association has disappeared, and the congregation is scattered in all directions, trying to reorganize these people and plan such a well-planned assassination. This is very difficult, Zhao Bei believes that with the current capabilities and means of the intelligence organs, it is impossible not to get a little information in advance, after all, he has also arranged a "nail" in the Nanyang region, and the base of the alliance is in the Nanyang region, and their every move is under the control of the military intelligence bureau.

After excluding the Alliance, there are not many suspects left, perhaps the stubborn forces of the Manchu Qing Dynasty are counted as one. However, it is unlikely that they will assassinate Yang Du under the banner of "opposing the presidential system for life", and if they are acting under the banner of "opposing the republic", it is worth noting.

Could it be that forces within the United Front did it? It is not impossible that this possibility is not impossible, since Yang Du began to advocate the "presidential system for life" There are some people within the United Front who oppose it, including Xiong Chengji and Huang Xing, and these two are both from the revolutionary party, political assassination is not an unacceptable means of political struggle for them, and considering that they all have real power now, they are also followed by a group of followers, many of whom are fanatical believers who adhere to constitutional ideals, as long as they have financial support, they may not be determined to take risks.

This issue is not only related to the pursuit of political ideas and beliefs, but also related to the future of political spots, once Zhao Bei starts politics, it means that he will occupy the presidential throne for a long time, at this time it is intolerable for those politicians who have ideals and pursuits, but directly deal with Zhao Bei, few people have this confidence, so. can only draw salary from the bottom of the kettle, and solve Yang Du's trouble first before anything else.

However, the problem is that in addition to the dissident forces within the United Front, the National League also seems to have a reason to kill Yang Du, for the National League, once Zhao Bei starts "politics", I am afraid that they will have nothing to do, because under the political system, Zhao Bei has no need to look at the face of the Congress, which is intolerable for the National League that is preparing for the National Assembly election, so it is not impossible for the National League to send someone to assassinate Yang Du, so as to solve the political problem once and for all.

It is true that many of the members of the National League are "old men of the monarchy" who advocate a constitutional monarchy, and they used to be optimistic about strongman politics, but the times have changed, and now the situation is different, and they have realized the advantages of constitutionalism through several years of congressional struggle, and even if a strongman is needed, it must be a member of the National League, not a member of the United Front or any other political group.

In addition to these suspects, there are also some anarchists who have a reason to assassinate Yang Du. This anarchism is now a world trend, especially for the revolutionaries who had come into contact with the Russian "fanatics" in Japan, and this anarchism was like a magnet that attracted their attention, and many of the assassinations of Manchu politicians were the work of these anarchists, who worshipped violence and despised compromise.

After listing all the suspects, Zhao Bei realized that there were too many people and forces who had a reason to kill Yang Du, but at present, there were few clues, and it was probably not easy to solve this case.

Just as Zhao Bei was thinking about it, Li Bianhe, the director of the chamberlain, walked into the No. 1 office. In his hand he was holding a telegram he had just received.

The telegram was taken by the commander of the Jiangsu garrison. The content is exactly about the assassination of Yang Du.

"Mr. President, this is a telegram just taken by the Nanjing Garrison Commander, just now, someone went to the Garrison Command to report the case, saying that someone was fiddling with pistols and bombs in the alley, and the Garrison Command believes that this matter may be related to the assassination case, and has sent someone to investigate, I believe that news will come soon."

The transcript of the telegram was handed in, and the current president seemed a little absent-minded.

Zhao Bei took the telegram transcript and collected his thoughts. He carefully read the contents of the telegram and asked casually.

"How is Yang Du now?"

"It's just some abrasions, it's fine, I have returned to the provincial capital just now, and now Mao may be in the office."

"How about those who are in the same car with Yang Du?"

"It's all right, just a little suspicious. He seemed to be frightened by the clamor of the leaflet. At present, they are all in the provincial capital, heavily protected, and their mood is slowly stabilizing, and they can continue to serve the center after a few days of rest at most. ”

Li Bianhe's very cautious "exhibition"; Resignation, just now he and Yang Duli telegraphed. Yang Du's mood seemed to have not recovered from the shock, and he was a little depressed. As for the other "political gentlemen". He was also stunned by the assassination, and because he didn't know what kind of president was thinking now, he could only choose the right thing to say.

In fact, the mood of those "political gentlemen" is understandable. Yang Du, Yan Fu, Sun, Yuyun, Hu Mo, Liu Shipei, among these five people, Liu Shipei is an expert in Chinese culture, Sun Yuyun was born in a scholarly family, Yang Du is a lifter, and he almost passed the exam. But it is true that he has not participated in the tragic front-line battle, although he once squatted in the prison of the Manchu Dynasty, but because of the relationship with the jailer, he has not suffered much, although Yan Fu is from the navy, but because he offended Li Hongzhang, he has been engaged in theoretical research for a long time, and he has never seen a big scene, these five people are all literati, and they were suddenly assassinated, of course their mood will not be calm.

If the "Five Gentlemen of Scraping Politics" retreated halfway because of the assassination incident, it may have some adverse impact on Zhao Bei's strategic planning, and it is necessary to appease them and let them continue to serve the president.

"You take another telegram and offer condolences and condolences, Yang Zhezi was injured in the line of duty, no matter what, the center will also administer justice to him."

Zhao Bei put down the telegram. glanced at Li Bianhe.

Li Zanhe took two steps forward and whispered: "Mr. President, didn't you already take a message of condolence just now?"

Zhao Bei smiled faintly. said: "The condolence message just now was taken in the name of the center, and now, this condolence message was taken in my personal name, and the meaning is different

"The ministry understands."

Li nodded and took two steps back, ready to leave the office, but before he could turn around, he was stopped by the president again.

"You immediately call the Military Intelligence Bureau and ask them to send a competent person over, I have an order to Zhao Bei.

Li Suhe hurriedly left the office, while Zhao Bei was still pacing back and forth in the small office. pondering this assassination.

Before he could figure out a clue, the Military Intelligence Bureau had already sent someone over, and the person who came was none other than Tian Jinfu, director of the Military Intelligence Bureau.

Zhao Bei was a little surprised. Because Tian Jinfu was still presiding over the work in the three eastern provinces a few days ago, it is said that he should not be in Beijing now.

"Yoshihito, when did you come back?"

"As soon as the net returned to the bureau, I was about to shake the phone here, but the phone in the waiter's room was shaken, no, I haven't changed my sweaty clothes yet."

Tian Jinfu pointed to the collar, then changed his words and said, "I heard just now, the commander-in-chief called me over." Is it for the assassination of Yang Du? I've just sent a telegram to a few intelligence stations in the south and told them to keep an eye on them

"I didn't call you to come over, but since you are back, it is just right, you just sit in the bureau, direct the work of the intelligence stations of all parties, and don't go anywhere for the time being, I always feel that the assassination of Yang Du is not simple."

Zhao Bei is very satisfied with Tian Jinfu's active work attitude, after several years of training, this soldier from a small peasant has become a qualified intelligence chief, Zhao Bei was worried that he would not be able to do this job. But now, he has proved his ability with practical actions, and with him in charge of the Intelligence Bureau, Zhao Bei can focus on other affairs.

Zhao Bei motioned for Tian Jinfu to sit down on the sand opposite, and was planning to give strategic guidance for future intelligence work. But before the two of them could get down to business, Li Shouhe, the director of the chamberlain, hurriedly walked in, followed by Qin Sihu, the captain of the guard.

"Urgent call from Nanjing! The Nanjing Garrison Command quickly attacked. In one fell swoop, an insurgent den was dismantled. A large number of firearms and ammunition were found, the same model as the weapon used to assassinate Yang Du, and a list was also seized. The stakes are so high that the President is invited to see it personally. ”

Li Zanhe's words were a bit alarmist, and Zhao Bei took the telegram transcript in surprise and read it. Then he handed the telegram transcript to Tian Jinfu.

"What? The National League premeditated a coup d'état? Could it be that they planned the assassination of Yang Du? Tian Jinfu stood up.

Zhao Bei waved his hand and motioned for Tian Jinfu to sit back, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he said lightly: "If only things were really that simple." None of the people in the National League are stupid, let alone crazy. They understand the balance of power and want to carry out a coup d'état? They're still a little tender. In addition, the Nanjing Garrison Command attacked quickly, but it didn't catch a single suspect, but just copied out an inexplicable "rebels, list, this is too strange, the other party has time to escape, isn't there time to destroy the list?" There are no three hundred taels of silver here. This assassination is getting more and more interesting

"It's weird, indeed. Could it be a conspiracy? Tian Jinfu furrowed his brows and read the telegram again.

"Conspiracy? There aren't many people with whom I can afford to conspire right now. But then again, even if this is a conspiracy, we don't have to make a fuss, the soldiers will block, the water will cover up, and the current united front. The united front, which has long since passed, wants to rely on a few tricks and small conspiracies to bring us down. That's a dream! ”

After speaking, Zhao Bei stood up, walked to the desk, picked up the phone, and chased the switchboard.

"Switchboard, pick up the Gyeonggi Garrison Command! Tell them to call back to the president's office

Taking advantage of the switchboard wiring, Zhao Bei pressed down the phone and gave Li Bianhe an order.

"You immediately call back to Nanjing, for the time being, keep the matter of this list secret, don't disclose it to the press, and don't tell Yang Du.
