Therefore, the relationship between Liang Shiyi and Zhao Yun's first agent Wu Peifu is not good, but whether it is good or not, these two people are at least one south and one north, and they can't meet for the time being. But the other person just bowed his head and didn't look up, that is Xu Shichang, the president of the Republic of China.

Xu Shichang once asked Liang Shiyi to sit on the throne of the prime minister, but once something happened, Xu was still a peacemaker, Liang felt that Xu was unwilling to support him at all, so he naturally complained, Xu was submissive and had no clear expression, so Liang and Xu did not agree with each other. Do you want to face a leader who is in trouble and doesn't support you, and your work is easy to carry out? It's okay, but when you encounter something, it's bad, annoying, Liang Shiyi felt tired for a while.

But if Liang Shiyi is a gentle person, then it is wrong. Liang's department is not a man-made sword, I am a fish and meat goods, not to mention far away, just say that after Zhang Huzi was defeated, he was placed under house arrest in Jixian County, as a former supporter of Liang, he was naturally very close to Liang. Zhang's protégés and former officials also switched to Liang's command, or it should be said that Zhang Huzi, who was a hero, although he was no longer in the Northeast, was not idle, and used Liang's signboard to actively develop the power of Feng in Jixian County.

Of course, an important part of this is that Liang is the prime minister, if Liang hangs, then Zhang will never turn over, but at least it is hopeless in the short term. So as soon as Liang's assassination happened, this was the first person to jump to his feet.

Zhang Huzi is like this, those old officials of the Yuan Department also rely on Liang a lot, although the news of Liang Shiyi's assassination is blocked, but because of the arrest of criminals, the rumors are still leaked, and many "deaf and clear" bigwigs know about it for the first time. Immediately fried the pot in Jixian County, and people with relevant stakeholders immediately came forward to refute the rumors and clear up their own relations, for fear that suddenly a fornication with the Japanese and the conspirator would take off the hat of the prime minister, which would be washed away by jumping into the Yellow River.

The situation in Jixian became even more troublesome than the Japanese soldiers approaching the city. These people all know that when the Japanese entered the city, it was the same as when the Eight-Nation Coalition Army entered Jixian County, and they walked around and left. And Huaxia is big, can't you hide if you can't afford it? At that time, it is the idea of many people to follow the empress dowager of the West and leave. If Xu Shichang, the "carrying the handle", has not left, he will slip away, and the hat that escaped from the battle will be buttoned down, and he will have to shed his skin if he does not die. What's more, Chinese people have the best face, seeing that their colleagues are just preparing, but they are not flashing, if they do this outstanding, they will have to be squeezed to death when they come back in the future.

But if the beam hangs, this is an earthquake in the officialdom of Jixian County. In a short period of time, it will cause turmoil in the officialdom of Jixian County, and at the juncture when the Japanese soldiers are approaching the city, this will increase the trouble index by more than N times. It is obvious that an hour after Liang was assassinated, the efficiency of the government at all levels in Jixian County was almost paralyzed, and everyone was talking about the assassination of the prime minister and thinking about the future of the government, who still had the heart to do things.

At this time, Wang Chengbin missed his two colleagues very much. Three kings, three kings, and the other two, the murderous Chechen Khan is far away in the northwest, and Wang Huaiqing, the former commander of Jiumen, is in the northeast, and only Wang Chengbin, who is close to Tong County, can deal with this matter in time.

If the Chechen Khan is still there, Wang Chengbin can come up with an idea, let this Mongolian man who pretends to be stupid and stunned, come to a show to meet the unreasonable tricks of the soldiers, first put those related people under house arrest, and detain them, anyway, the king of Khan is in Outer Mongolia all the year round, and it is understandable that he is not the same as Jixian County. Even Wang Huaiqing can rely on the old and sell the old here, sit on the toilet, come to a trick of iron-faced selflessness, anyway, sitting on the toilet has been smelly for ten miles, what else can make people feel dark.

On the contrary, it is Wang Chengbin, whose roots are Manchus, and there are many relatives in Jixian County. Even those bigwigs, as soon as they heard that he was coming to preside over the matter, they were stopped by people from all walks of life before they entered Jixian County.

Wang Chengbin blocked some people and met Yan Laoxi, Xu Peng, and Qian Yougui, who had a close relationship with Liang Shiyi. These three treasures are not one person, they represent the largest business groups in the three Chinese territories of Jin Merchants, Jiangsu and Zhejiang Consortiums, and Hui Merchants, and they are also the three representatives of Huaxia Money Bags.

Yan Laoxi was dragged to Jixian County during the war, and as soon as he came, Liang Shiyi didn't let him go, so he had a subordinate relationship with Liang, Xu Peng was transferred from Nanjing by Zhao Yun to learn from Liang how to allocate war finances, and Wang Yougui was logically not his turn to represent Hui Shang, but the thighs were hugged tightly! Even if you gamble money, you can also bypass the country's righteousness, but this gambling game has made his reputation known, and this time it is not a negotiation, just an errand to inquire about some news and make a statement, so Wang Dashao naturally appeared in the living room where he met.

"General Wang, you still need to get a charter for this matter!" After some politeness, Yan Laoxi made a respectful gesture.

"This official is now the prime minister of the overall situation of Jixian County, and the first thing is to maintain the stability of Jixian County, so those group exercises that have developed by taking advantage of the chaos must be bothered by you!" Wang Chengbin knew that these three people were also from Zhao Yun's family, and when he saw that they expressed their attitudes, he was not pretentious, and directly made conditions.

The group practice is what Wang Chengbin called in the tone of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. In the official documents of the Beiyang government, it is called the militia group. In this regard, Wang Chengbin knew bitterly that in order to resist the Japanese, because the Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners in Jixian County were not used, he temporarily announced that the Hebei region could organize its own militia to block the rapid advance of the Japanese. This is completely a trick to quench thirst, but regardless of whether the intentions of those people are good or bad, this is formed with the consent of the Beiyang government, and it is legal.

Now that this regiment has been trained, but the Japanese are about to retreat, and when the prime minister is assassinated and the city of Jixian is empty, it is difficult to guarantee that some people will not move these scattered soldiers. These militia groups are scattered around Jixian County, with complex compositions and uneven combat strength, but the number of people as high as 100,000 makes it impossible for anyone to ignore their existence.

If Wang Chengbin has his own lineage in his hands, he is naturally not afraid, at this juncture, whoever dares to show his head will be cut. But his descendants followed the team of the Chechen Khan's westward expedition to ensure his logistics. The only two regiments of the Manchurian and Mongolian Eight Banners at hand were also crippled in the first battle of Tongxian, which will be pressed by Liang Shiyi's matter, and those Manchu widows and young people have not yet made trouble, and when this matter is over, it will also make Wang Chengbin miserable.

Of course, if he opened his mouth to transfer them back at this time, Zhao Yun would definitely allow it, but after the battle of Tongxian, the combat composition of these two teams has undergone earth-shaking changes. Before leaving, it was the Manchu bannermen as the main force of the battle, but after the war, almost all of them were filled by the Manchu elites' clothed minions. Although these coats are nominally free people, not slaves, some people are all born of families, and have been slaves in a noble family for generations. It has not been a few years since the fall of the Qing Dynasty, and in their minds the supremacy of imperial power, Wang Chengbin's orders are not comparable to the instructions of their masters, otherwise they will not appear in Tongxian, Zhao Yun has already ordered the collection of prisoners, and there are still people who indiscriminately kill Japanese prisoners of war and attack the escort team.

Therefore, Wang Chengbin abandoned this unrealistic idea, and what could be nominally mobilized at this time was the Jixian County Police and Wang Huaiqing's left-behind troops. The reinforcements from the rest of the country will not be able to arrive from Zhangjiakou in two days at the earliest. And the Jixian police team, which has been mixed with sand by many forces, has already been called before, and the effect is to let go of the receiver and commander of the assassination case on the spot. Wang Huaiqing's left-behind troops were even more immobile, they guarded the Forbidden City where the emperor lived and a large number of royal gardens, in case of theft after they were transferred, the saliva of those old and young could drown Wang Chengbin.

Before the pursuit began, it had already encountered a situation of internal and external troubles. Wang Chengbin really didn't want to take this hot potato at the moment, but thought of Timur's "straightforwardness". Wang Chengbin shook his head and waved away the bloody scene in his mind...... Chechen Khan and Wang Huaiqing were ruthless about this matter, but Wang Chengbin, who was born in Manchu, still had a trace of incense.

"Ensuring the peace of the people of Jixian County is also our business, in addition, before we came, General Zhang also asked someone to bring a message, I heard that you have a large group of people into the city, there are more chores, and he has some idle men who are proficient in this way, and they are willing to obey your dispatch and temporarily come to help and take a hand." Seeing Yan Laoxi, they nodded and promised that they would temporarily solve the militia groups outside the city and ensure that they could not enter the city within three days, and at the same time, the Zhang Huzi subordinates in the city would also die down, and even secretly provide help. Although Wang Chengbin didn't want to use the power of Zhang Huzi from the bottom of his heart, they didn't add to the chaos, which was the biggest help.

"Ladies and gentlemen, regarding the assassination of the Prime Minister, this official has only been able to talk about a few words before, and you still need to solve the details for this official!" With the assistance of these Jixian forces, Wang Chengbin breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart, and he could finally ask about the case. This case is the focus of Zhao Yun's attention, and the investigation and prosecution is also the biggest measure to stabilize people's hearts at the moment. After all, no one knows whether the assassination plan is the beginning of a series of assassination cases, and the bigwigs in Jixian County have strengthened the guards around them in the past few days.

In order to celebrate Wang Chengbin's defeat of the Japanese army in Tongxian, although the fierce battle was still going on in Tongxian, the news of the siege of the Japanese army had already fluttered in the sky over the city of Jixian. All forces are not optimistic about the Japanese army under heavy siege in China, and they are fighting alone? It was only a matter of time to be wiped out, there was no logistics, no reinforcements, and after the defeat of the navy that transported the army in the Bohai Sea, it was compressed at the mouth of Dagu, and the Japanese army commanded by Asada could only sit and wait for the end of annihilation.

In order to celebrate this great victory, a grand parade has already been held on the streets of Jixian County. In the crowd of black presses, a young man dressed in a dress held a gun in his hand, and his suit was covered by a pistol, calmly waiting for Liang Shiyi to pass by. His name is Bard, 22 years old, he studied in a Manchurian aristocratic school, according to some people's understanding, Liang Shiyi is suspected of being anti-Manchurian, and in fact Liang did do it, supporting Yuan Shikai to ascend the throne is a big failure in his life, perhaps it is this reason that prompted Bard to decide to assassinate Liang Shiyi.

However, it was still difficult for an ordinary Mongolian nobleman to carry out this assassination. Just when Bard was melancholy, the Japanese approached him, and after a few small talks, he gave him a small French-made pistol that could be held completely in the palm of his hand to avoid the inspection of the military police in Jixian County.

The gun is small and has limited power, and in order to reduce the size of the gun, the gun has only two bullets, which means that Bard only has two chances. Before the assassination, he practiced his marksmanship every day in the woods on the outskirts of Jixian County, and often went to the streets in search of favorable terrain. The long-term hunting and other behaviors of the Manchu and Mongolian nobles made the guards guarding the city, even if they knew that the Mongolian nobleman was wearing a gun, they did not ask for trouble, and they all turned a blind eye to let them go. This made Bard even more bold in his plan to assassinate. Eventually, he found an ideal location on the second floor of a teahouse facing the street.

From here, he was ready to shoot at Liang Shiyi as the procession marched west along the street to Di'anmen. But he failed.

In desperation, Bard had no choice but to return to Inner Mongolia. Bud was unable to get a train ticket because no responder was found, and at the train station, he was arrested for riding without a ticket, and the military police on the train searched him for the pocket gun and a map of Jixian County. In less than an hour, the monks stationed at the station had Bard confess. In the end, he was guillotined on charges of attempted murder of a key government official.

Why did Bard's assassination fail?

After receiving Zhao Yun's order to focus on investigation, Yan Laoxi and others hired experts in criminal investigation to restore the scene. If Wang Chengbin doesn't come, someone will solve it, and Wang Chengbin is only here to better deal with the aftermath and solve those disturbing schemers.

Arriving on the parade street, the forensic experts decided to conduct a live demonstration to determine if Bard's chosen ideal location had a chance of success.

Escorted Bud to the scene and asked him to identify where Bud was at the time of his assassination. It was confirmed that at that time, the straight-line distance between Bard and Liang Shiyi was about 7 meters.

Bard is condescending, and it is entirely possible to shoot Liang Shiyi. Forensic experts test-fired Bard's French-made pistol at the scene to judge the accuracy of the pistol at a distance of 7.5 meters. He held the gun in his hand, did not aim, and hit it in the general direction, the bullet was a little off, but the direction of the deviation was consistent. Then, he shot a little to the lower right while aiming, and the result was a good hit. That is, even at a distance of 7.5 meters, this pistol can easily hit humanoid targets.

But Bard uses a pistol, which has a small caliber of bullets, is not very powerful, and is not particularly penetrating, making it a small gun that is not very practical. Some of the Manchurian nobles ridiculed the gun for being too small to kill a pig, in order to justify Bard.

In order to prove the lethality of this gun, someone dragged a big fat pig, and then fired two shots at the pig. The big fat pig was punched four holes in his body. This shows that if Bud really fired, Liang Shiyi would probably be killed.

Sadly, the enthusiastic crowd ruined Bard's plans. When Liang Shiyi entered the firing range, before Bard could raise his arm, countless people waved small flags of "Fight imperialism" and "Return my bay" to salute Liang Shiyi. Bard's view was blocked, and he lost his best chance to shoot.
