Chapter 126: Fishing for People
After listening to Boss Zhu's words, Boss Yang smiled slightly and said: "Third Brother Bao, you can be regarded as finding the right person, although I don't know about this matter, but with my friendship with Commander Jiang, it is still easy to inquire about something, as for whether I can fish people out, I don't dare to pack a ticket, I can only give you a letter tomorrow night, but ??????"
This is obviously asking for a price, how could Boss Zhu not hear it, and immediately said: "Boss Yang, I have to ask you for help in this matter, just say it, if you need anything from me Zhu Baosan, just ask!" ”
Both of them are human spirits, and when it comes to this, they both have a little tacit meaning, Boss Yang hurriedly said: "What did the third brother Bao say, am I this kind of person who wants benefits?" I just admire Brother Bao, make you a friend, and I will rely on Brother Bao more in the business field of Shanghai in the future, don't worry, I promise to give you a letter tomorrow night! ”
Boss Zhu listened and said: "Okay, Boss Yang's friend, I Zhu Baosan has made a deal, I heard that Boss Yang, your grain store has recently bought a lot of new wheat, and my Lida flour mill is short of raw materials, rather than purchasing from other grain stores, it is better to do this business with Brother Yang, as the so-called fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders!" ”
Boss Yang laughed: "Hahaha, what Third Brother Bao said is very true, then I will thank Third Brother Bao!" ”
"What did our brother say thank you?"
"By the way, what's the name of your distant nephew?"
Zhu Baosan immediately told Boss Yang the name of a very important figure in a revolutionary party.
In the evening, Boss Zhu, Boss Yu and Chen Qimei met at the Ningbo Chamber of Commerce, and the two sides explained the situation again, and Chen Qimei instructed Liu Fubiao to inquire about some news on the road, but there was not much news. The news of the arrest of the revolutionary party was rarely disseminated on the road, and even if there was some news, it was known to the public, and the public only knew that the Qing court had taken action against the revolutionary party, and not only the revolutionary party strongholds in China were completely destroyed. Even in the concession, there were many strongholds that were terminated, but everyone did not know where the soldiers and horses came from, nor did they know who was in charge of commanding them.
There was no news of this on the road, but Chen Qimei contacted many brothers who had escaped, and told them not to gather together for the time being, and not to show their faces outside. Now that the wind is tight, it is easy for the Qing court spies to catch the horse's feet, find clues, and wait for the notice after the rumor passes.
Boss Zhu and Boss Yu also told them what they had heard, and the three of them decided to start with Boss Yang and Zhou Nanhe. We must find a way to get the brothers out of the capture.
The next night, still in the old place, Boss Yang arrived as scheduled, and Zhu Baosan had been waiting for a long time.
After the two of them took their seats, Boss Zhu invited Boss Yang to drink and eat, which made Boss Yang feel courteous, and he didn't sell it at the moment. Put down the chopsticks and said directly: "I have inquired about the situation clearly, and I have also explored the way for you on the side of Commander Jiang, and all the arrested revolutionaries are locked up in the camp of the third patrol battalion." Heavy guards were sent day and night, but fortunately, the person from Nanjing has not yet interrogated your nephew, if you want to get someone, you have to do it as soon as possible, preferably tonight, because once you are interrogated. It was impossible to get the impression of the person from Nanjing, and it was impossible to fish him out, and it was impossible for Commander Jiang to risk losing his head to help. I told him about your nephew, but of course I didn't say it was your nephew. Only said that it was a friend's nephew, he promised to help, but asked for two thousand taels of silver, he said that this is also to see my face, one is still good, if there is more, it will not work, it will be found by the person from Nanjing, but there is no big problem with one less person, he will be fooled over, he wants two thousand taels, I don't know what the third brother will do? Of course, if the third brother Bao is too expensive, I can introduce you and let you talk about it in person! ”
Boss Yang said this to avoid suspicion, he originally wanted to befriend Boss Zhu, he didn't want Boss Zhu to misunderstand that he had received benefits from it.
How could Boss Zhu not hear it, and hurriedly said, "Don't I still believe you Brother Yang?" Then say two thousand taels, and ask Brother Yang to help you in this matter, and ask Brother Yang to bother more when you lead people! ”
Boss Zhu listened to Boss Yang's words and knew that it was impossible to fish out all the people, if he fished out more, even if he gave more money, Jiang Guoliang was afraid and didn't dare to release people privately, as far as the current situation is concerned, he can fish out one by one, and he can only fish out the main characters in the arrested people first, and then think of other ways to rescue the others.
"It's easy to say, the matter of the third brother is the matter of my Yang someone!"
Late at night, Boss Zhu and Boss Yang took a carriage to the gate of the third patrol battalion in western Shanghai, and after getting off the car, the two walked to the soldier Yong who was standing guard. ”
Boss Yang hurriedly arched his hand and said: "This brother, we are here to find Yao Guan, please go and report it, as soon as you say it, he will know, there is a little meaning here, brother take out and buy a pot of wine to drink!" ”
When the soldier heard this, he knew that these two people must know Yao Guandai, so why not take the money if they have it? Immediately put down the spear, took the silver, stuffed it into his arms, dropped a sentence, turned around and left, "Wait!" ”
After a while, the soldier Yong came out and asked them to follow in, saying that Yao Guandao was invited, and the two immediately followed into the barracks, and soon saw Yao Guandai, Yao Guandai was in his forties, and he knew that this guy was not a good bird by looking at his face.
"Meet the Band-sama!"
Yao Guandai said indifferently: "What are the two of you looking for me?" ”
Boss Yang immediately said: "The contemptible surname is Yang, it was Commander Jiang who asked us to come to the management of the adult, he said that as long as he told you, you will be clear!" ”
When Boss Zhu saw Yao Guan's demeanor, he knew that this guy wanted to ask for benefits, and after waiting for Boss Yang to finish speaking, he took out two silver tickets of one hundred taels from his sleeve and stuffed them to flatter: "This matter has to trouble Yao Guan, this little meaning is not respectful, please don't dislike it!" ”
Yao Guan saw that it was two hundred taels, and immediately laughed and said: "Okay, you two are also acquaintances, and this pipe belt will not embarrass you, come with me!" ”
"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" The two looked at each other and immediately followed.
A quarter of an hour later, Yao Guan escorted three people out of the gate of the station, two of them were Boss Zhu and Boss Yang, and the other young man in his twenties was in tattered clothes and looked wilted. This is Li Haiqiu, Chen Qimei's right-hand man who was rescued by the two, Li Haiqiu's position is very important, he helps with party affairs by Chen Qimei's side, and he has a clear understanding of the situation of the revolutionary party in Shanghai, once this person has a problem. The revolutionary party in Shanghai was about to suffer a catastrophe.
However, just as they were leaving, a figure appeared in the corner of a barracks in the patrol battalion station, watching the three of them leave, and watching Yao Guan take them back.
When Yao Guan was gone, the black shadow immediately left the station and made a phone call nearby. In less than a quarter of an hour, a man riding a tall horse and leading two musket teams quickly drove towards the garrison of the Third Patrol Battalion, wearing a one-eyed flowery feather on his head and a five-rank official uniform. He is tall and muscular, powerful and powerful, with eyes like falcons.
Since then, the person wears a one-eyed flower feather on the top to know that this person's identity is extraordinary, and the flower feather is a sign of prestige and rank in the Qing Dynasty, which is not worn by ordinary officials; Its role is to show the rank, reward military merits, the Qing Dynasty emperors have repeatedly reaffirmed, neither can the hairpin exceed their duty and wear it in vain, but also can not wear it at will. If there is a violation, it will be strictly punished; Generally, officials who are demoted or dismissed from their posts and retained in office can still wear court clothes according to their own rank, and being punished with the removal of flower feathers is an extraordinarily severe punishment.
Hua Ling is divided into one eye. Two-eyed, three-eyed, and three-eyed is the most noble; The so-called "eye" refers to the eye-like circle on the peacock feather, and a circle is counted as a glance. And the man on horseback was wearing a five-grade official uniform and a one-eyed feather crown, indicating that he was on an errand in the palace. Because only the ministers of the interior above the fifth rank, the commanders and staff of the forward battalion and the guard battalion are eligible to wear the one-eyed flower feather crown, and the person who holds these positions must be from the three flags of Manchuria, the yellow flag, and the white flag.
Without waiting for the soldiers in front of the garrison to speak. The man on horseback rushed directly to the gate of the garrison, and the soldiers standing guard were shocked when they saw this. Immediately pulled out his legs and ran towards the station.
The patrol battalion station suddenly became a pot of porridge, after a burst of chickens and dogs jumped, wearing a crooked Yao pipe belt with pants and official hats ran over, far away from the old distance to see the two musket teams waiting for the battle, and all of them murderous, and then look at the leader of the army, it turned out to be from Nanjing, born in the Yellow Flag, Annahai, immediately put on the hat, fastened the trouser belt and ran over the ground with a rolling belt.
"Lord Onahai, it's so late, you're here like this? Still with the musketeers, is there any action? If you let me know, why bother to make a trip yourself? "In Yao Guandao's eyes, this Enahai is absolutely unprovoked, he is already a noble person from the Yellow Flag, and he is also the leader of the Forward Battalion, and he can pinch him to death with just a little finger.
Enahai's face is rough, but his chin and lips are beardless and smooth, which makes people feel a little weird, but this person is definitely not a eunuch, it can only show that this person is very ruthless, he said coldly: "Of course there is an action, but this action is to arrest you!" Yao Shiqing, you are so bold, you actually released the rebellious party behind your official back, your crime can be punished, come on, arrest Yao Shiqing for this official! ”
"Yes, sir!" Several musketeers immediately rushed up and said that Yao Shiqing pressed on the ground and tied up.
Yao Shiqing was shocked: "My lord, my lord spares my life, it is not the original intention of the lower officials to order the release of people, the lower officials are instructed by others!" ”
Hearing this, En Nahai's face changed, and he thought in his heart how many people could instruct Yao Shiqing in Shanghai? Daotai Cai Naihuang and Zhixian Li Xiumei didn't know about this matter, the only thing that could make Yao Shiqing order the release of people was Jiang Guoliang, the commander of the patrol battalion, he was able to mobilize the soldiers and horses of the patrol battalion here, and also benefited from Jiang Guoliang's cooperation and support.
Enahai was immediately furious: "Bold, you still dare to quibble, the rebellious party is locked up here, only you know, you actually said that it was instructed by others, who can instruct you?" Come on, gag his mouth for the official and take him back, block the station, tonight's matter, no one is allowed to leak half a sentence, and the offender will be killed! ”。
"Yes, sir!"
Subsequently, the 3rd Patrol Battalion was blocked, no one was allowed to enter or leave, and the soldiers also canceled their vacations, were not allowed to go out, and cut off their heads when they were caught.
Yao Shiqing was dragged into a cell by several soldiers like a dead dog and tied to a wooden post, which also blocked the news, and the outside world did not know that Yao Shiqing had been arrested.
Wearing a flower feather on his head, wearing a five-grade official mansion and walking in, a soldier bravely moved a chair and put it opposite Yao Shiqing, who was bound, and Enahai took off his official hat and handed it to the soldier behind him, touched his bright forehead, and didn't care how Yao Shiqing shouted wronged, and directly let the big man with a leather whip next to him do it.
"Bang", "pop" The leather whip was whipped clearly, accompanied by Yao Shiqing's screams.
After more than 30 lashes, Enahai raised his hand to signal the executioner to stop, and after the big man panted and retreated to the side, Enahai took a sip of tea from the teacup and said loudly: "Okay, you can say it now, who ordered you to release people!" ”
"My lord, I say, I say!" Yao Shiqing howled miserably and agreed, "It was Commander Jiang Guoliang who asked me to release people, really, the lower officials are willing to be cut by a thousand knives if they want to tell lies!" ”
Handing the teacup to the soldier behind him, Enahai took out another snuffbox and took two puffs, without looking at Yao Shiqing, just asked, "Do you know why he let you go?" What is the name of the person who was let go, and what is his status in the revolutionary party? ”
Yao Shiqing swallowed his saliva: "My lord, I know this, it was Jiang Guoliang who accepted other people's money, and the person who let him go is called Li Haiqiu, Jiang Guoliang told me that Li Haiqiu only suffered an unjustified disaster, and he was not a revolutionary, otherwise, even if I was given ten guts, I would not dare to release people, please enlighten me!" ”
Enahai asked again: "Have you interrogated Li Haiqiu?" How did Jiang Guoliang know that Li Haiqiu was not a revolutionary? How much money did he charge someone else? ”
"My lord, without the order of the adult, how dare the lower officials interrogate? How does Jiang Guoliang know that Li Haiqiu is not a revolutionary party, this lower official is not clear, the lower official guesses that he may not know whether Li Haiqiu is a revolutionary or not, but he received money from others, as for how much he collected, the lower official does not know, he didn't give me a penny, the lower official, the lower official just asked the person who came to receive two hundred taels of silver, and the silver ticket was in the lower official's pocket! ”
A soldier immediately went up and searched for the two silver tickets in his pocket, and Enahai took the silver tickets, looked at them, put them on the table next to them, and continued to ask: "What is the surname of the person who came to receive the person, what is his identity, and where does his family live?" ”
Yao Shiqing said: "My lord, I only know one of them, that person has a very good relationship with Jiang Guoliang, he is a grain businessman, and his residence seems to be in the concession, and the specific location is not clear!" ”
Yan Nahai took the snuffbox and sniffed it under his nose for a long time before he said: "Yao Guandai, it is not too much to exterminate your family according to your crimes, this official gave you a chance to atone for your crimes, you let go of a revolutionary party, this official asked you to atone for your sins and capture all those revolutionary parties, are you willing?" ”
How could Yao Shiqing be unwilling? If you don't want to, you have to be willing, otherwise it's not just about dying! (To be continued) R466
