"Huh? Wang Hengyue was also assassinated? ”

"Yes, the one who assassinated Wang Hengyue was Qi Shousan, the helmsman of the Yucheng Xinzi Banner! During the assassination, he was captured by Wang Hengyue on the spot, and specially sent a company of people to escort the assassin to Yucheng and hand it over to the brigade commander for disposal. ”

Wu Xiangzhen got down from the hospital bed: "You said, Wang Hengyue is the guard of southern Sichuan, the commander of the Reading Power Mixed Division, and I am a brigade commander, it stands to reason that he is my boss, but why does Wang Hengyue want to hand over people to me?" ”

Yao Guichan thought for a while and said: "Because the brigade commander is the president's person and a protégé of the Son of Heaven, Wang Hengyue is just a prince." ”

"Yes and no." Wu Xiangzhen said slowly: "Wang Hengyue is not a person who is afraid of things, but he is shrewd. Between us and Liu Cunhou and Hu Jingyi, it is a dispute between Beiyang and Sichuan, and a little further up, it is a dispute between the central and local governments, and whoever gets involved will not be able to get out. Wang Hengyue didn't want to get involved at all, so he threw this hot potato to me. As for him, he hid in southern Sichuan and watched coldly, and then made his own choice. ”

Yao Guichan nodded frequently: "In that case, what should we do?" ”

"What Wang Hengyue threw out was a hot potato, but what about us, it is the stove that bakes the potato, and we are not afraid of the hot potato!" Wu Xiangzhen suddenly became very conceited: "We entered Sichuan this time, originally to solve the Sichuan problem, and now is a great opportunity, first solve Liu Cunhou, and then deal with Hu Jingyi, and then"

He didn't continue to talk about this, and Yao Guichan smiled knowingly.

"However, you can't let Wang Hengyue be so proud." Wu Xiangzhen's face straightened: "You, send someone to bring the assassin and the officer who led the team, interrogate the assassin as soon as possible, and confirm the confession." Then it is necessary to create public opinion, the assassin tried to assassinate Wang Hengyue, the first father of the revolution, and let everyone know in their hearts who sent the assassin! ”

"Got it!" Yao Guichan must be respectful and authentic.

In less than a day, almost all the news spread throughout the city of Yucheng that Wu Xiangzhen, the commander of the 4th Beiyang Mixed Brigade, and Wang Hengyue, the head of the revolution, were assassinated before and after!

And there was a rumor that the person who sent the assassin was Liu Cunhou, the guard of Yucheng Town and the commander of the second division!

The news is spreading outward from Chongqing with an unstoppable momentum.

Subsequently, the news was also published in the newspaper. Although there is no clear name, between the lines, a discerning person can see at a glance that the murderer behind the scenes is directly pointing at Liu Cunhou!

For a while, public opinion in Sichuan was in an uproar!

Who Wu Xiangzhen is, I am afraid that half of the ordinary people in Sichuan will not recognize it, but Wang Hengyue's name is known to everyone in Sichuan.

Putting aside the name of the revolutionary head and father, everything Wang Hengyue did in the face of this natural disaster was enough to make people give a thumbs up and talk about it.

Now, such a good official who loves the people like a son has been assassinated? Is there still a royal law, and is there still a heavenly principle?

The calls for finding out the real culprits behind the scenes and severely punishing the murderers have been rising wave after wave.

This is exactly what Wu Xiangzhen needs!

"Report, Wang Mingzhang, commander of the first company of the third battalion of the first regiment of the Reading Power Mixed Division, escorted the prisoners to Yucheng, and the delivery is complete!"

As soon as he saw this energetic young man, Wu Xiangzhen liked it in his heart: "Okay, it's so hard, it's hard." Wang Mingzhang, well, this name is good, come, sit down, I am injured, I will not get up! ”

"Yes!" Wang Mingzhang answered loudly and sat down on the stool, only half of his buttocks were on his buttocks, and his body was straight.

The more Wu Xiangzhen looked at it, the more he liked it: "How old are you?" ”

Wang Mingzhang stood up with a "ho" moment: "Report to the brigade commander, twenty-one!" ”

"Sit down, sit down." Wu Xiangzhen waved his hand again and again: "I became a company commander at the age of twenty-one, okay, young and promising." How was it, did you encounter any difficulties on the road? You don't have to stand up and say it. ”

"Yes, thank you, Brigadier Wu! On the way, I encountered a sneak attack by some people. ”

"Sneak attack? Who are they? Wu Xiangzhen frowned.

"Surely a professional soldier!"

Wang Mingzhang said, took out a pistol, got up and put it in front of Wu Xiangzhen, and then returned to his stool mountain and sat down again: "Report to the brigade commander, we captured it from the killed sneak attacker!" ”

Wu Xiangzhen carefully checked the gun, put it aside, and sneered: "It was Liu Cunhou's people who did it!" ”

As he spoke, a smile appeared on his face again: "Wang Mingzhang, like you, how many of your southern Sichuan town guards are there?" ”

Wang Mingzhang obviously hesitated.

"Ah, haha, if you don't say it, forget it." Wu Xiangzhen didn't care, and suddenly said, "Otherwise, don't go back, stay here and do it with me." ”

"This"

Just as there was some embarrassment, Yao Guichan pushed the door and walked in, and glanced at Wang Mingzhang: "Report to the brigade commander, the interrogation is over, it is indeed Liu Cunhou who did it!" ”

Wu Xiangzhen snorted coldly: "Liu Cunhou is so bold, what about assassinating me?" ”

"His men did it, too!"

"Okay, have you drawn a bet?"

"It's drawn."

Wu Xiangzhen suddenly turned over from the hospital bed: "The evidence is conclusive, ready to be arrested!" ”

"Wait!"

A voice sounded, Wu Xiangzhen looked at it, it was Wang Mingzhang who spoke, and asked with a smile: "Young man, do you have anything to say?" ”

"Brigade commander, there are some things that I don't know whether to say or not."

"Speak!"

"Yes, I thought that although Liu Cunhou's evidence was conclusive, the arrest was easy to provoke evil consequences. Liu Cunhou was the envoy of Yucheng Town, the commander of the Second Division, and had thousands of guns in his hands. The dog is in a hurry and has to jump off the wall, in case"

Wang Mingzhang's words made Wu Xiangzhen silent, and it took a long time before he said, "What do you think?" ”

"The subordinates thought that Liu Cunhou would be brought in under the pretext of convening a meeting, and then arrested on the spot, and then controlled the second division to solve it in one fell swoop. If Liu Cunhou is not fooled, the main force of the Fourth Mixed Brigade will control the Second Division, and then send an elite division to carry out a surprise attack and capture Liu Cunhou, so as to minimize the impact. ”

Wu Xiangzhen frowned and thought for a long time, and suddenly smiled: "Okay, good, have ideas, have insight!" Guichan, send a secret telegram to the president, tell me about the situation, and at the same time do what Wang Mingzhang said! As for who to send to catch if the trap fails, this, this"

Wu Xiangzhen suddenly set his eyes on Wang Mingzhang: "I think it's just you, how about taking your company of men and horses to arrest?" ”

Wang Mingzhang hesitated again, and then straightened his chest: "Yes!" ”

"Okay, it's a young man, remember, you can capture the last, you can't capture it alive, it's okay to kill it, go ahead, get ready to go!"

Waiting for Wang Mingzhang to walk out, Yao Guichan was a little worried: "Brigade commander, he is Wang Hengyue's person, does the brigade commander really want to send him?" ”

"Yes, he is Wang Hengyue's person, so what do we have to do with arresting Liu Cunhou or killing Liu Cunhou? We are just maintaining order, and Liu Cunhou's subordinates are to blame, and they can only blame Wang Hengyue. Wu Xiangzhen said with a smile.

Yao Guichan suddenly realized: "I understand"

At this time, Liu Cunhou was already in a mess.

The assassination of Wang Hengyue was not only unsuccessful, but was caught by others, and now, he was actually escorted to Wu Xiangzhen again! Wu Xiangzhen was thinking about how to solve himself, but now he just gave him an excuse?

And why was Wu Xiangzhen assassinated inexplicably? Maybe Wu Xiangzhen will have to settle this account on his head!

"Town Guard, it's not good, it's not good!" Gao Deguang rushed in in a panic.

"What's so flustered?" Liu Cunhou, who was already uncertain, frowned.

"Qi Shou San recruited all of them as soon as he entered!"

Liu Cunhou's body trembled: "Waste, you can't do this little thing!" If you can't kill Wang Hengyue, forget it, how can you let Qi Shousan fall into their hands! ”

"Guard, not only that, but I also heard even more terrible news." Gao Deguang looked nervous: "Wu Xiangzhen is already ready to do something to us?" ”

"What? Reliable messaging? ”

"Yes, absolutely reliable! Wu Xiangzhen is going to lure the town guards tomorrow in the name of convening an emergency military meeting, and then capture them in one fell swoop! ”

Liu Cunhou shook for a moment and sat down.

Gao Deguang looked at him: "I went to the 4th Mixed Brigade just now to investigate, the 4th Mixed Brigade has already begun to move, I guess they are going to force their move!" ”

Liu Cunhou clenched his fists and knocked his forehead a few times.

It's over, it's all over! I have been operating in Yucheng for so long, because of a momentary mood, and now everything is over! Beiyang, I want to kill it all!

"Guard, what should we do now?"

"What to do? I know what to do? ”

Gao Deguang looked outside: "The town guard, with Yuan Shikai's temper, after solving us, I guess he will not spare us, since this is the case, it is better to fight!" ”

"Fight?" Liu Cunhou opened his eyes: "How to fight?" ”

Gao Deguang said in a low voice: "We have 800 soldiers in Yucheng City, and we can quickly transfer more than 1,000 soldiers outside the city, plus there are 5,000 guns stationed in various parts of Yucheng, can we just sit and wait to be killed?" ”

"What do you mean" Liu Cunhou shuddered.

Gao Deguang said coldly: "Since Beiyang will solve us sooner or later, why don't we do it in advance, solve Wu Xiangzhen's Fourth Mixed Brigade, and then electrify the whole country, all Yucheng reading power!" Hu Jingyina is also constantly oppressed by Beiyang, or he can also become our ally! Even if things don't work out, taking advantage of the chaos in Sichuan will increase the possibility of success! ”

Liu Cunhou took a deep breath, this matter is too big, if you make a bad fuss, you will lose your head!

"Envoy, we can't hesitate any longer, otherwise the muzzle of Beiyang's guns will be aimed at our heads!" Gao Deguang's voice suddenly rose.

Liu Cunhou turned back and forth, distraught, and stopped suddenly:

"Man is a sword, I am a fish? Fuck, since Beiyang wants Lao Tzu's life, Lao Tzu wants their life first! Secretly ordered all the officers and men of our 2nd Division to prepare for military operations! ”
