Section 535 Assassination [I]

"If there is no accident", "soon", Qin Lang's pretended mysterious gesture and ambiguous expression immediately made O'Connor feel bad. He leaned forward www.biquge.info and whispered next to Qin Lang's ear, "You don't plan to send someone to assassinate an important political figure, Qin?" It's like you let people put Horace. Gray pushed down the stairs—"

"Why do you think that?"

"Based on what I know about your character, I think it's possible."

"Then I can only say," Qin Lang took a breath, "you are wrong. ”

"Which one?"

"All." He affirmed, "I have not had Horace put on him. Gray pushed down the stairs, and there was no plan to send someone to assassinate a politician. ”

"Really?"

O'Connor's expression reminded Qin Lang of Samuel a few years ago. Bush told him what happened when Gray announced his resignation. At that time, Senator Bush also believed that he was "pushing" the elderly judge behind his back, just because he had mentioned that a 68-year-old man like Gray had reached retirement age, and that he might have some minor heart problems that would cause him to have an accident.

At this moment, O'Connor's way of thinking is exactly the same as that of the senator of the year: he thinks that he has seen some clues, and he also understands his character and style, so he naturally combines the two, and arrives at a completely wrong inference, and finally unreservedly believes that this inference is true.

Qin Lang sighed secretly. He knew he couldn't change O'Connor's mind—and certainly not to. There were some additional benefits to letting O'Connor keep those ideas, although there were also disadvantages, but Qin Lang believed that compared to the benefits they brought, that little disadvantage was tolerable.

At least for now, it's tolerable.

He raised his eyebrows almost imperceptibly. "No matter what you think, what you think has happened and what will happen doesn't really exist." After a pause, he explained in a low voice, "It's just that I have very reliable information that anti-government conspirators in China have developed a series of assassinations against high-ranking officials in Canton, and have already begun to implement these plans." ”

O'Connor was stunned for a moment: Senior Chinese official? These were the people he had never considered. After a few seconds, he stepped back a little and asked, "Who are the conspirators' targets?" ”

"So far, there is only one person who can be confirmed, the acting governor of Guangdong, Deshou."

"Haven't heard of it."

"Yes, he is not a famous person, but he is a governor, and that is enough. It's not an ideal promotional material, but it's still useful. ”

"I agree with you, Qin." O'Connor nodded, then asked, "When?" ”

"The latest news shows that it was in the recent past." Qin Lang turned to the west, looked at the other side of the Pacific Ocean, and said in an almost inaudible voice, "It may be today." ”

O'Connor was a little disappointed, because the situation was not particularly accurate, but this was all that Qin Lang's intelligence network, the real intelligence network, not the secret organization that he had been imagining, which could be called "pervasive".

This was also disappointing to Qin Lang, but there was nothing he could do: it was his own instructions that kept the Ministry of the Interior from paying special attention to the activities of the League, and his knowledge of history did not play any role - he knew that the League had created the Huizhou Uprising in 1900, which was still a farce, but he did not remember that it had tried to assassinate the Governor of Liangguang in the same year - in the end, and the worst, even if he knew the whole plan, the situation would still not be completely under his control, the reason was very simple, The crappy members of the League simply don't have the ability to successfully implement a plan as planned.

Fortunately, the Church provided a lot of valuable information, and this time, the League did not carry out its plans on its own, but was supported by people who had long been the focus of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. As a result, he was still largely in control of the situation and could discuss what was going to happen here in a very relaxed tone.

"You know, Sean, the conspirators have come up with an interesting plan of action," he said mockingly, "and the men who executed the plan dug a tunnel to the Governor's Palace, which stretched all the way to the underside of His Excellency the Governor's bedroom, and then they planted a lot of explosives there. ”

With that, he turned back, smiled, and gestured to O'Connor. "Imagine the drama-like scenes, the secret meetings of the conspirators, the killers who carefully and diligently dig tunnels in the dark, the explosives that are carefully stacked, the fuses that are lit, and the excited faces in the faint light of the fire......"

"Finally," O'Connor said, he raised his right hand and made a blast gesture.

“Bang!”

The explosion alarmed every resident of the city of Guangzhou. It was so loud and the ground shook so violently that many thought that their city was under attack again - though no one could say why the attack had started inside the city and who had attacked it - panicked people rushed out of their houses, looking around to see where the explosion had occurred, asking their equally panicked neighbors for information, exchanging information they already had, and arguing. Soon, the whole city was in a state of chaos.

In the midst of this noise, there are also some completely different voices, whose owners have an agitation that must never be revealed in public; Among all the people who have this kind of emotion, Shi Jianru is definitely the most excited one, because, as the person in charge of the assassination operation, he led three comrades to dig the tunnel leading to Deshou's bedroom, and personally sent a hundred catties of explosives there, and finally lit the fuse with his own hands.

The successful execution of a high-ranking official of the Manchu regime, and the first member of the entire Confederacy to achieve such an achievement, was a remarkable achievement for a young man who was only twenty-one years old, had no experience in clandestine activities, and had never killed anyone.

Shi Jianru has never been more excited.

"It worked! It worked! He grabbed one of the League members by the shoulders and shouted, "We made it!" We killed Deokshou! ”

"Yes, we succeeded." The member of the League exclaimed in agreement. Unlike Mr. Shi, he still remembers himself in Guangzhou, a city controlled by the Manchus, rather than in the safe, British-ruled city of Hong Kong. He controlled his volume and tried to alert his comrades, but unfortunately Shi Jianru didn't hear him at all.

Or maybe he heard, but didn't care, or he just couldn't control his emotions at all.

"We succeeded, Deshou is dead, long live the revolution!" He jumped onto a table and announced in an almost fanatical and loud voice: "Gentlemen, this is a small step for us, but a big step for the entire Alliance!" ”

His actions startled the others - in their impression, Shi Jianru should have been an unusually quiet, traditional scholar, and he had always been very weak and often sick - and in a hurry, several comrades of the League rushed forward and pulled him down with all their hands and feet, covering his mouth by the way.

But Shi Jianru still shouted out the last sentence. "Deshou is dead, and the Huizhou Uprising will definitely succeed—"

"You're so excited, Shi Jun." Someone rebuked, "The revolution has not yet succeeded, the Huizhou uprising has not yet begun, you should not be so loud." If the agent hears it, it's a big deal. ”

His words immediately caused displeasure among others. "Mr. Yamada, all the revolutionary comrades here are here, where are the secret agents?"

"I mean, if—"

"Not if it doesn't. This is a hint that there are secret agents of the imperial court among the revolutionary comrades, which is absolutely impossible, and it is a slander against all the monarchs present! ”

"Stupid!"

"And you're talking nonsense!"

An inexplicable quarrel began immediately and soon turned into a geographical and personal attack. On several occasions, other members of the League tried to stop the farce, but no one succeeded, and the argument became more intense, and they had to give up all their efforts. And so, the war between the two people goes on, evolves, and deepens, and it seems that the fight will never stop, unless one of them gives up because of exhaustion or some other reason.

However, it may have taken a lot of time - but things did not go so far, and before that it was prevented - and after a long time of arguing, perhaps ten minutes, Shi Jianru finally regained his composure and his authority was restored.

"What are you doing? Monkey business! He reprimanded, "They are all revolutionary comrades, and they should be sincerely united, what do you look like when you are so noisy?" ”

Almost immediately, the quarrel stopped. Shi Jianru stared at the two of them for a while, and then said: "Now, since Deshou has been killed by us, the situation in Guangzhou City will inevitably become serious, so we must evacuate immediately, go to Hong Kong to join the other comrades, and then transfer to Huizhou-"

"You mentioned Huizhou again!" Yamada was almost unbearable, "Shi Jun, that matter should be kept strictly secret!" ”

"I believe that there are only revolutionary comrades here, and there are no secret agents." Shi Jianru replied.

The members of the league who had quarreled with Yamada became triumphant - it was clear that Shi Jianru was on his side. Yamada glared at them angrily, but at the thought of his own mission, he had to control his emotions.

There may be another way to alert these crappy saboteurs. He thought about it, and began to consider a suitable speech, but just then, someone burst into the room.

He brought an unacceptable message.

"Deshou is not dead yet!" (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the www.qidian.com, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) (To be continued.) )
