Chapter 85: The Yuan family is in the aftermath of the court, and the suburbs of Wuhan are in the clouds
"People only deliberately subvert something when they are not clear about their work goals, or when they are not sure about their work goals, in order to prove that they are really "working". β
Imperial Bureau of Investigation, Criminal Psychoanalysis
In the House of Nobles of the Imperial Parliament, Yuan Shikai, who was wearing a dress, and Niu Yongjian, the vice president of the House of Nobles, sat face to face in the lounge of Yuan Shikai's office, and Niu Yongjian bowed his head and was silent.
"Are you sure it's really possible?"
As Mr. NΓΌn-kin spoke, an attendant brought hot tea and placed the parcel and letter on the small table.
"Your Excellency, this is your package!"
"What is this?"
With a surprised look on his face, but after only glancing at the package, Yuan Shikai jumped up, retreated to the corner, pointed to the package and shouted:
"What is this?"
He waved his hands as he stepped back.
"I'm sorry, Duke......"
The attendant was frightened by Yuan Shikai's appearance, and he didn't know what mistake he had made at all, so he could only desperately bow his head and bow to make amends.
"It was sent from the delivery room, and because it was urgent, your secretary ordered it to be sent in."
But Yuan Shikai opened his mouth to speak, and did not relax his nervousness because he knew that the package was sent by the secretary, and continued to shrink in the corner, shouting:
"Take it!"
"Your secretary said that this is a manuscript that a correspondent Du asked her to hand over to you,"
The squire still did not dare to raise his head, but continued to explain:
"The package has a note she wrote to you."
But Yuan Shikai was still panting, approaching Xiaoji step by step, violently slashing the letters stacked on the package, staring at the package, but he didn't dare to take it in his hand.
"Wei Ting, looking at your current appearance, it looks like you have received a parcel bomb?"
Seeing Yuan Shikai's appearance, Niu Yongjian smiled instead: "You still make fun of me for being nervous? β
But Yuan Shikai snorted and waved his hand to the attendant:
"You call Captain Feng from the security department now and check this email in front of me."
After he stared at the maid and left, he said to Niu Yongjian:
"If that is true, be careful, there is nothing wrong with that, when I was in North Korea, those terrorists sent me 200 bombs a year, and I could happen every day and anything."
The experience in North Korea made Yuan Shikai always cautious, especially after hearing Niu Yongjian mention that incident just now, he immediately realized that perhaps, the nightmare of North Korea finally came in China.
However, at this time, the smile on Yuan Shikai's face had not disappeared. When she spoke, she still had a relaxed look.
At this time, Niu Yongjian slowly stretched out his hands, carefully picked up the package, and spit out two words:
"It seems to be very heavy, it should be two or three catties."
At this time, Yuan Shikai's lips trembled lightly.
"Filial piety, don't grab it, don't take it apart."
Seeing that Niu Yongjian seemed to be about to fold him, he hurriedly said.
"Xiaozhi, didn't you look at this, don't you have the name and address of the sender?"
Listening to Yuan Shikai's words, Niu Yongjian carefully observed the package, just as he said, there was no name and address of the sender, could it be that Yuan Shikai was really so prescient? Or is this experience?
"Maybe it's really a manuscript."
After that, Niu Yongjian was going to prepare to open the package for Yuan Shikai.
But Yuan Shikai rushed over with an arrow step, pressed his hands hard, and glared at the package with a serious expression:
"I don't know any reporters from news agencies, and I don't know what the manuscript is, so I'd wait for the security personnel to come over."
"Then it is even more important to take it apart and take a look," ...,
Niu Yongjian comforted Yuan Shikai and said:
"Wei Ting, you haven't seen any strong winds and waves in North Korea, even the bomb at the sports meeting exploded at your feet, and you can be unscathed, what else do you have to be afraid of?"
Niu Yongjian's words made Yuan Shikai hang his head when he ascended, and he no longer argued with him, he didn't know some of the inside stories when he was in North Korea, and he couldn't tell outsiders about those insiders, as for the appearance of things, well, to a certain extent, it was still the capital that Yuan Shikai used to show off.
At this time, Niu Yongjian put down the package, pressed the knuckles of his fingers, and made a "pop" sound:
"Don't forget that when I was studying in Japan, I also read about military affairs, so I also know a little about bombing."
"Yes, you're a soldier and know something about bombs, but defusing bombs isn't your specialty, and,"
Yuan Shikai took a deep breath and said coldly:
"This may be a new type of parcel bomb developed by the intelligence department back then, and the North Korean terrorists were trained by them back then, and your technology, I'm afraid it ......"
Shaking his head, Yuan Shikai looked disapproving.
But Niu Yongjian, who was curious, would agree, slowly moved his hands closer to the seal of the package, and said calmly:
"I promise you, even if there's a bomb in there, it won't explode."
At this moment, the calmness that Niu Yongjian maintained was similar to his performance in the House of Nobles. Now, he was like a hound, desperately calling for the scent of his prey.
When he lifted the corner of the brown paper with his thumb and forefinger, Yuan Shi immediately walked out of his small living room, but at this time, he saw several security officers in civilian clothes walking up.
"Quick, get in and block Vice Dean!"
Just when the security personnel rushed in, they saw Niu Yongjian holding the package that had been opened, and walked out laughing:
"Wei Ting, you teased people."
With that, he took out the two thick books in the box and continued to shake his head and smile.
"Huh? Are there two Korean documents? β
Yuan Shikai flipped through the thick book, and then looked at Yuan Shikai with some surprise and said:
"Who did the prank?"
At this time, Yuan Shikai shook his head and said in an extremely angry tone:
"Don't you know? Who else could it be? β
They? Who does the "they" in Yuan Shikai's mouth refer to?
Those people are not willing to accept North Korea as a province of China's North Koreans, although the terrorist attack many years ago changed a lot of things, but there are always some unwilling to die in the country, they use another way to fight, such as after the Ministry of Education canceled the Korean language textbook, there were many staff members who received "parcel bombs", but the bomb was a large firecracker, not killing people, but enough to scare some people.
"Your Excellency, does this matter need to be investigated?"
Captain Li from the security department looked at the two books, and then at the dean.
"Okay, but it's just a prank, no big deal!"
After that, Yuan Shikai walked into the living room, and when he sat on the sofa again, Yuan Shikai's expression looked extremely ugly, and when Niu Yongjian wanted to say something, he spoke.
"Xiaozhi, you say, did I go a little too far in North Korea back then?"
Go too far?
If the current official hat is still a red top, then his red top is dyed red with blood, and when he was the governor of Korea, many methods were too cruel even if Yuan Shikai thought about it now.
Roasting a terrorist has no effect, if you want to roast and ask, just bake and ask his three-year-old daughter! Thinking of the order given to the Investigation Bureau by Governor Yuan Shikai when he was in Korea, Niu Yongjian said again when he felt that his heart trembled slightly.
"Wei Ting, at least you left a province for China!"
"Half a province!" β¦,
Leaning back on the sofa, Yuan Shikai's tone was a little proud, but there was some loss. If he is given another ten years, then Korea will definitely become a real Chinese province, unlike now, although it has the name of a province, but it is not a province, and that province is still a governor-general.
The Governorate, if it weren't for the rebellion, how could it still be the Governorate now, the iron fist is just a means, but what about after the iron fist?
"Wei Ting, when are you going to Wuhan!"
Seeing that Yuan Shikai's face seemed to be a little wrong, Niu Yongjian asked.
"Years ago!"
As the President of the House of Lords, he always went to several provincial capitals every year to give a speech to the provincial councils in order to strengthen the link between the central and local councils.
How can a person who is forced to do a job that he is unwilling and unable to do better?
As far as Li Shaoshao is concerned, from his own point of view, to a certain extent, he is psychologically unable to accept the use of bombs for assassination, and the indirect damage of bombs is too great to psychologically resist it, but he must use this way to carry out assassination activities this time.
As a staunch republican, he knew very well that if he died, his wife and daughter would not be taken care of by his comrades, and in fact, it would be impossible for comrades to take care of his wife and daughter, at least until the republicans succeeded and the country became a republic, and they would be able to survive on their own after losing him.
Even, he felt that his comrades-in-arms could not be relied upon, and some of his comrades died in the assassination plans that their comrades risked hazard; Revolution is always ruthless, can ruthlessly use everyone, the same assassination is a very expensive project, except for the 10,000 yuan given to him, he does not have enough funds; And more importantly, Li Shaoshao knew that his opponent was far superior to him in terms of resources, stratagem, and cruelty......
But all this could not stop Li Shaoshao from putting all his enthusiasm into completing this task.
"After a bang, the whole country will change!"
It was with this belief and longing for the republic that Li Shaoshao went in and out of the city of Wuhan to buy the chemicals needed to prepare explosives. If there is any benefit of the industrial age, I am afraid that many very common industrial products are actually an explosive, such as ammonium nitrate, which is an agricultural fertilizer that has just been put on the market in the past two years, although it is not widely used, but it can be easily purchased in Wuhan, the largest city in central China.
In the agricultural materials market on the outskirts of the city, after only a few laps, Li Shaoshao found a large amount of ammonium nitrate in a store, so he was ready to buy some. However, he was unsure of how much to buy, as buying too much could raise suspicion from the authorities. Although ammonium nitrate is a commonly used item in agriculture, the agents of the Bureau of Investigation must have known another use for it, which was to make a paste explosive by mixing a certain amount of sawdust and diesel fuel from ammonium nitrate in proportion.
However, Li Shaoshao, who often interviewed outside, knew that there was a way to disguise the use of ammonium nitrate, he bought a very loose woolen suit in a pawnshop that only a country gentry would wear, and then put the suit on a long shirt, and then he got a half-worn hat, and even the cloth shoes on his feet were covered with some mud, so that he looked like a country gentry.
As soon as he entered the agricultural materials store, Li Shaoshao, who was wearing a top hat and a pair of small sunglasses, asked in a local dialect with some accents from the Xiangyang area.
"Do you have fertilizer here?"
Li Shaoshao asked this on purpose, just to let the guys in the store introduce him to the fertilizer.
"Sir, you're here!" β¦,
As soon as the well-informed man saw the comer, he knew that this was a gentry from the countryside, and there might be a few hundred acres or even thousands of acres of land at home, and there was no way, although the cultivator had his field for many years, but there were policies and countermeasures, and the landlord's land could not exceed one hundred acres, but that was per capita, and the gentry in those places, who did not have a dozen or even dozens of people at home, saw that there was a big business, so he hurriedly greeted him warmly.
"We are the whole of Wuhan, the place with the most complete chemical fertilizers, you see this is the sodium nitrate fertilizer in Xinjiang, this is the phosphate fertilizer in Haizhou, and the potassium fertilizer in Qinghai,"
Seeing that the man was just looking at the fertilizer, and also looking at the note in his hand from time to time, it was obvious that this person had already inquired when he came, so he immediately turned the conversation around and asked tentatively.
"Sir, isn't organic fertilizer too expensive?"
Without waiting for Li Shaoshao to speak, the guy hurriedly said.
"Also, this fertilizer is too expensive!"
Whether it is sodium nitrate, phosphate or potassium, they are all organic fertilizers, which are expensive, and not everyone is willing to buy them.
"Look, this has ammonium nitrate, this is the new fertilizer powder from Imperial Chemical, the price is cheap, you see......"
In the enthusiastic introduction of the guy, Li Shaoshao nodded.
"You show me, if you give 3,000 acres of land, how much does it cost to give this ammonium nitrate?"
As soon as he heard that it was 3,000 acres, the man immediately realized that this was a big business, and if he calculated 3 kilograms per acre, it would be 9,000 kilograms......
"10,000 kilograms!"
The guy swallowed and said, but he didn't wait for the guy to take the abacus, but he saw Li Shaoshao shaking his head there.
"Too much, too expensive!"
"Five thousand, five thousand kilograms will do, as long as ......"
The guy hurriedly took the abacus and calculated a price.
That's great!
Satisfied, Li Shaoshao watched as his men loaded the 3,000 kilograms of ammonium nitrate he bought into a truck and transported it to a warehouse he rented outside the city, and after the explosives were sent to the warehouse, Li Shaoshao hired another truck.
After the truck left the city, at the agreed place, the two people who were waiting for Li Shaoshao appeared. As agreed, the visitor did not greet him. He rushed to a big carriage, and at the junction of the highway and the dirt road, the sixty bags of ammonium nitrate on the truck were quickly loaded onto the cart, and Li Shaoshao also sat on it, so he drove the cart forward.
The carriage walked on the potholed dirt road, and after walking for about 40 minutes, it entered the mountainous area, and the carriage was not very easy to walk on the snow road, and along the way, Li Shaoshao and the people who joined the joint did not speak. Finally the carriage drove into a grove, and when the carriage entered the woods, at the end of the woods was a babbling brook, and by the stream was a simple wooden house, which was safer than the warehouses in the city, especially since it was often built on the land of a comrade's own family.
After Li Shaoshao entered the house, he saw a wooden table and a few benches in the room, and there were two people sitting in the room, one of them was Zhou Jieru, Zhou Jieru saw Li Shaoshao come in, so they all stood up and asked him to sit down. At the same time, he introduced the smiling middle-aged man next to Li Shaoshao.
"Shaoshao, he is Lin Anke, he is the landlord of this area, in the past, there were tens of thousands of acres in this area, all of which belonged to their Lin family!"
"It's all in the past, what are you talking about!"
When the other party was polite, Li Shaoshao hurriedly looked at the person in front of him carefully. This is the first time he has seen Lin Anke, he didn't think that people with thick eyebrows, big eyes, some beards on the cheeks, and dressed as a squire would be republicans, in his impression, republicans are often people with higher education or study abroad experience, and the person in front of him doesn't look like that kind of person no matter how he looks at it.
"Mr. Lin, it's a pleasure to meet you." β¦,
After saying hello, Li Shaoshao pointed to the door and said.
"There were 3,000 kilograms of ammonium nitrate on that wagon."
Lin Anke smiled,
"Okay, don't ask about the rest, in less than a week, I promise to give you 3,500 kilograms of explosives!"
"Now the problem of explosives is solved! But there's one more thing! β
After inviting the two of them to sit down, Zhou Jieru turned her gaze to Lin Anke as she spoke.
"How do you get explosives in!"
"I'll figure out a way to do this, even if the two of you come, stay here tonight and taste the local vegetables in the countryside."
After saying that, Lin Anke turned his head and shouted to the people outside the door.
"Big man, go and inform the family, kill a chicken, catch another fish, get a good table of good dishes, today I want to accompany two friends and have a good drink."
A few hours later, Li Shaoshao, who was full of wine and food, left the Lin Mansion at the foot of the mountain, but compared to it, there was one more thing in his arms - a check for five thousand yuan, which was the settlement fee that Lin Anke gave him, which was beyond his imagination, five thousand yuan, which seemed not much, but it was enough for their mother to live a lifetime.
Walking on the snow road, Li Shaoshao looked at the snow in the field, but the person stopped, he knew that Lin Anke was only responsible for sending explosives in, but he was responsible for detonating explosives, how to detonate them? Is it a long distance wire, or is it a ...... He was a journalist, and he had the opportunity to enter the venue, and it seemed that his task was to ensure that Yuan Shikai was in the venue when the bomb exploded.
Thinking about the risks, Li Shaoshao only felt a palpitation, if he failed, then ...... But it's really unforgivable, but ...... How many people will die?
Thinking of so many explosives exploding, Li Shaoshao was worried about indirect damage, but at this time, his mind remembered Zhou Jieru's words during the banquet.
"Yuan Shikai's life is big, when he was in North Korea, he was bombed so many times and he was not killed, he wanted to use it, he had to use it all, and he was killed at one time! And the more explosives, the greater the shock......"
