Chapter Ninety-Four: Framed
"Someone, get him arrested." Huang Xing roared angrily.
Several Army Department gendarmes separated the crowd of onlookers from the outside and squeezed into the office with difficulty. The office of the temporary political axe was in the former Liangjiang Governor's Yamen, and when they heard the army chief's office slapping the table and hitting the bench, everyone came to see the excitement. I saw a little white-faced and black-faced Huang Xing slapping the table, and the voices of the two were louder than the other. After a short while, the corridor was crowded with water. Everyone sweated for Chai Dongliang, and dared to argue with Huang Xing face to face, the courage of this little white face is really not small.
When the gendarmes entered the house, they pounced on Chai Dongliang, and the two guards took out their pistols at the same time, opened the nose of the machine and said, "Who dares?" ”
Fang Qingyu even put the pistol on Huang Xing's head, and said with a cruel smile: "If you dare to move our governor, I will collapse you first!" ”
Huang Xingjiu has been on the battlefield for a long time, and he has already put life and death aside, but this is the first time that he has a gun on his forehead. The gendarmes looked at each other, not even daring to speak, for fear that an action would cause a misunderstanding, and this guy with a gloomy face really shot.
The situation froze all at once, everyone did not speak, and hundreds of people in the office and hallway were silent.
"Look, you don't have anything to do?" An official dialect with a Cantonese accent came from outside.
Chai Dongliang turned his face to look, and the people at the door dodged one after another, only to see a middle-aged man with a mustache and a suit walking over with a smile.
"Sun Wen?" Chai Dongliang almost screamed, and hurriedly yelled at Fang Qingyu: "Don't put the gun away yet." ”
Fang Qingyu, who was still murderous, heard Chai Dongliang's words and was more behaved than a dog, so he put away the pistol without saying a word, and the other two guards also put away the gun.
Sun Wen walked in with a smile, looked at the situation in the room, and said with a smile: "You are Chai Guanghua, right?" What a guts, he even let the guards point a gun at the head of the army chief! ”
Chai Dongliang snapped upright, and gave a military salute with one fist on his chest: "Hello president!" ”
Sun Wen was wearing civilian clothes, and he couldn't return the salute with a military salute, so patting Chai Dongliang's shoulder was considered a return salute.
Huang Xing rushed up and gave Chai Dongliang a punch in the chest: "Boy, you really have a kind!" Are you ready to give an order to shoot the guy who eats Lao Tzu? ”
This punch was so heavy that it almost knocked Chai Dongliang to the head, and he staggered a few steps before he stood firm, feeling a faint pain in his chest.
Huang Xing was in a good mood after punching, pointed at Chai Dongliang and said to Sun Wen: "I like this kid, he is a material for war." The general is majestic on all sides, so he has to have this unwillingness to be subordinate. Good job, no wonder you dare to take two duck eggs and take Wuhu! ”
He looked Chai Dongliang up and down, and the more he looked, the more he felt that he was right for his eyes, and he saw Chai Dongliang with goosebumps falling all over the ground.
Chai Dongliang grinned and said with a playful smile: "I didn't plan to really shoot." ”
It's just that this smile is more ugly than crying.
Huang Xing smiled: "Lao Tzu knows that you don't dare." ”
Chai Dongliang pointed at Fang Qingyu and said, "I don't dare, he dare!" If I were caught, he would shoot without giving the order. ”
Huang Xing said with a smile: "The division of the two Huai tigers and wolves, I can be regarded as knowledgeable, if I shoot you directly, your Anhui First Brigade will not be dispatched with all the troops, and three days later will attack Nanjing City?" ”
Fang Qingyu interjected expressionlessly: "It won't be that long, if our governor is killed, the Yangtze River Fleet will now bomb the presidential palace to the ground." ”
Huang Xing and Sun Wen suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, and Fang Qingyu grinned like someone who had nothing to do. Chai Dongliang was even more sweaty, eager to kick him to death, this guy didn't speak, as long as he opened his mouth, he spoke amazingly.
Sun Wen pointed to the chair, motioned for Chai Dongliang to sit down, and then said solemnly: "I heard what you just said, and I was very touched!" ”
Chai Dongliang said embarrassedly: "I was also in a hurry just now, and I talked nonsense in a hurry, don't be surprised by the president and the general minister!" ”
Huang Xing shook his hand and said: "The soldier must have such a murderous spirit, if our army is like your first brigade, then it will be good, I will take you to kill the Yangtze River and go straight to the Yellow Dragon!" After finishing speaking, seeing a large group of people watching the excitement outside, Huang Xing rushed to the door and shouted, "What are you looking at?" What's there to see? One by one, when you are full, you have nothing to do, run here to see the excitement! ”
A young man laughed and said, "Chief, we haven't been paid for three months, and we are hungry to watch the excitement." ”
The people present burst into laughter, but Huang Xing was not angry, and scolded with a smile: "Get out, didn't Chai Dudu bring a million, and he will be paid today." ”
Everyone suddenly became excited, laughing and scattering. Chai Dongliang couldn't cry or laugh, he saw himself with a knife and gun just now, and in a blink of an eye, he had the idea of one million. However, judging from everyone's attitude towards Huang Xing, this army commander should be a person with a straight intestine, if he changes to a character with a crooked belly and a knife in his smile, his subordinates will definitely not dare to joke with him so casually.
Huang Xing took out a pinch from the tea basket, found a glass and made a cup: "President, you can also taste the good tea brought by Chai Dudu." ”
Sun Wen's smile gradually faded, replaced by a solemn face, and said slowly: "What Guanghua just said makes sense, expelling the Tatars is only the first step, and more importantly, let the common people live a better life than during the Manchu rule, which is the purpose of the revolution." Overthrew a [***] political axe, but came a robber political axe, how could the common people really support the Republic of China? The revolution is not for the personal benefit of one family and one surname, but for the welfare of hundreds of millions of people in the world. ”
Huang Xing's face changed drastically: "President, no, if the military ticket is abolished, the hundreds of thousands of people's troops in Nanjing will immediately have the possibility of mutiny, you know our current financial situation, the governors of all provinces control the tax sources, regard domestic taxes as a ban, and borrow money from Western countries has been rejected many times, and there is no tax in the temporary political axe and no loans outside the law, and it is already exhaustive." ”
Sun Wen smiled bitterly: "No matter how hard it is, you can't cripple the people, the Tang Wu Revolution still knows that the people are hanged and killed, and we revolutionaries can't even be inferior to these ancients thousands of years ago." What Guanghua said just now is reasonable, exchanging military tickets for materials is tantamount to robbery with open fire, then the people can't be blamed for rising up to revolution again and overthrowing us. ”
Huang Xing said categorically: "It is absolutely impossible to abolish the military ticket, if that happens, the people's army will be disbanded in large numbers, what strength do we have to confront Beiyang?" The matter of setting the capital of Nanjing has come to naught. If Yuan Shikai wants to rule by reading, what power do we use to restrain him? ”
Sun Wen's eyes were full of sadness, he shook his head and said: "Think about it again, think about it again, there will always be a way, and you can't let people say that we are not as good as the Manchu Dynasty." After that, he got up and left without looking back, still muttering to himself: "There will be a way, there will be a way." ”
Huang Xing clenched his fists and clenched his teeth, as if he wanted to smash something, but in the end he just waved his fist in the air and let out a long sigh. Chai Dongliang was also at a loss, not knowing whether his insistence was right or wrong.
At this moment, Chai Dongliang suddenly discovered that it had only been two months since the founding ceremony, and Sun Wen's face had become thin and out of shape, his cheeks were sunken, and he was haggard and afraid.
When he got off the boat, he made a speech in the salute of thousands of fans, and Sun Wen, who was looking forward to Shenfei, and Sun Wen, who was slightly hunched on his back and had old temples in front of him just now, is it really the same person?
Dividing line
At the door of the War Department prison, Li Zhichang shielded the dazzling sunlight with his hands, took two deep breaths of fresh air, and then threw the package wrapped in clothes and toiletries behind him, as if he had lost bad luck.
"Governor, why are you here in person?" Li Zhichang shouted in surprise.
"Manager Li, Chai is late, and you have been wronged!" Chai Dongliang took off the blue and black tweed on his body and put it on him with his own hands.
Fang Qingyu said with a smile: "We are all governors for you, and General Huang have used their pistols, for your brother, a military chief and an Anhui governor are fighting for each other, and in the end it was the president who broke the siege, your brother has a big face!" ”
Li Zhichang was stunned at that time, two lines of tears burst out of his eyes, and he couldn't say a word when he wanted to say anything.
Chai Dongliang patted him on the shoulder and said, "Let's go, go home." ”
Li Zhichang said with tears in his eyes: "Well, go home!" ”
Chai Dongliang led his horse, and the two guards couldn't help but say that they carried Li Zhichang up, and Li Zhichang struggled and said, "How can this be done?" ”
Chai Dongliang didn't say anything, he led the horse and walked in the direction of the Confucius Temple, and Fang Qingyu and the others also led the horse to accompany him. Li Zhichang sat on the horse and his tears did not dry, his mood was turbulent like the surging of the Yangtze River, and he only felt that the ups and downs were surging, and he couldn't even tell himself the taste in his heart.
After walking for more than half an hour, Chai Dongliang's body was also drenched with sweat, and the sound of silk and bamboo from the Qinhuai River could be faintly heard in the distance, Chai Dongliang turned around and smiled slightly: "Brother Li has been in prison for me for thirteen days, and I will lead you to a horse and stirrup for thirteen miles, and we can be considered even!" ”
Li Zhichang wiped his tears with his sleeves, bent down on the horseback and bowed: "From now on, Zhichang's life is the governor's, and the governor will say that he will take it one day, and Zhichang will never say anything." ”
Chai Dongliang laughed and said: "What I want to use is your ability, what do I want you to do with this life?" If you run the bank well and ensure that the financial resources of our Anhui Revolutionary Army will not be exhausted, you will be a great hero. ”
Several people talked and laughed, and Fang Qingyu no longer had a gloomy face, telling jokes and gags with an expressionless face, which made Li Zhichang laugh while wiping his tears.
Before he reached the Confucius Temple, he saw Kuang Haishan galloping over with a flying horse. It was three or four feet away before he grabbed the reins and slowed down.
"Governor, it's been found out, it wasn't our people who killed the one-eyed dragon." Kuang Haishan panted.
"Oh!" Chai Dongliang's brows twisted into the word "Sichuan".
Kuang Haishan took out a small cloth bag from his arms, and after opening it carefully, it was a broken warhead: "Governor, please see, the warhead taken out by the forensic doctor from the corpse is 11 mm, and the soldiers of our first regiment are all 79 caliber Mausers, this kind of old-fashioned 11 mm Mauser gun, our new army has not used it in the past Qing Dynasty." ”
Chai Dongliang pondered for a moment, who wanted to frame the Anhui Revolutionary Army? What is the purpose of this? Although he has not studied criminal investigation, Chai Dongliang still understands who benefits the most and who is the most suspicious.
"Let's go, let's go back." Chai Dongliang waved his hand and led everyone to the Nanjing branch of Guanghua Bank.
The gate of Guanghua Bank is closed, it has closed down, Chai Dongliang and others went up to the second floor, and two forensic doctors were waiting. Chai Dongliang took their autopsy report and took a brief look. The medical examiner began to explain: "The autopsy results showed that the deceased was shot in the back and neck, both bullets were fired from behind, the shot in the back was a penetrating wound, pierced from the lower abdomen, and the shot in the neck was shot diagonally from above, and the bullet remained in the abdominal cavity. It was preliminarily determined that the person who fired the shot should have been on a high-rise building behind the deceased. ”
Li Zhichang was stunned: "No, I only heard a gunshot, and the one-eyed dragon died." ”
The forensic doctor said flatly: "The gunman should be a very experienced person, and two people shoot at the same time, so you only hear one gunshot." ”
A bank clerk interjected: "I also felt that the gunshots seemed to be coming from a distance, not in front of me." ”
Kuang Haishan nodded and said, "Yes, I have already sent someone to search the surrounding buildings. Then he pushed open the window and pointed to a small three-story building in the distance: "That building is more than 30 zhang away from Guanghua Bank, and the gunman fired his gun there!" I investigated the landlord and said that it was a house rented by three people with Anhui accents, and there were a few people with Jiangxi accents who often went in and out there, and they were all gone on the day of the incident, and those Jiangxi people never went again. ”
Chai Dongliang was stunned: "Anhui accent? ”
Did his own people do it? Nest anti?
The personnel structure of the Anhui Military Advisory Office and the First Brigade of the Anhui Revolutionary Party is relatively simple, and there are no too complicated interpersonal relationships. What is the purpose of the other party's first group to blame Kuang Haishan? Get rid of Kwong Haishan? It shouldn't be, Kuang Haishan is a single person with no relatives and no reason, and there is no problem of personal enmity.
If the target is not him, then the biggest possibility is to come to Chai Dongliang! Instigated the contradictions between the Anhui First Brigade and the Jiangxi People's Army, causing large-scale bloody conflicts, and then the provisional political axe could remove Chai Dongliang from his post as governor of Anhui.
But this doesn't make sense, where is the purpose of getting rid of Chai Dongliang? Annexation of the 1st Brigade? That's almost impossible, from Kuang Haishan, Lu Kai, He Tianshou, Fang Qingyu and other regimental and battalion officers down, including Gu Mazi and other company platoon commanders were personally appointed by Chai Dongliang, and it is impossible to obey others' orders at all.
Occupy Wuhu Industrial Park? It is even more impossible, the first father and son of the Wu family will not agree, Chai Dongliang's new technology is the foundation of the industrial park, and without Chai Dongliang is equivalent to no industrial park.
Chai Dongliang thought about it and had no clue, and walked around the room with his brows locked.
"Governor, don't think about it, let's go to the War Department prison tomorrow, let's go and ask the soldiers who were there that day, maybe they will have clues there." Kuang Haishan reminded.
Chai Dongliang patted his head, confused! If you don't investigate and research, you don't have the right to speak, and you haven't asked the person in person! Outside the window, it was getting dark, and the candles in the people's homes loomed in the shadow of the night.
Chai Dongliang felt a chill in his heart, and always felt that there was a monster hidden in the dark velvet night!
