Sun Yuwen, who was behind, stepped forward and asked, "Who is this girl?" ”

Without waiting for Lin Yuan to speak, Shen Wanqing smiled and said, "My name is Shen Wanqing, and I am a reporter from Kanto Daily. ”

Sun Yuwen lightly arched his hand and said with a smile: "I have admired the name for a long time, if you have something, you might as well finish it, we will wait for a while." ”

Lin Yuan pulled Shen Wanqing to walk a few steps into the distance and asked, "Why do you want to follow me?" Did you notice something wrong? ”

Shen Wanqing frowned and said, "Think about it, how did they know that you were coming back?" Since they can know the way, their people can know the way, and as soon as the news spreads, what if the Japanese spies know the way and assassinate you on the road? ”

Lin Yuan didn't think of this either, so he said, "Yes, why didn't I think of it!" I've already told the people at the station that it's strictly forbidden to leak information about the military trains, how did they know about it? ”

Shen Wanqing said, "Hurry up and ask him." ”

Lin Yuan hurriedly came to Sun Yuwen and asked, "How did you know that I was going back to Beijing?" ”

Sun Yuwen smiled: "It was my housekeeper who told me." ”

Lin Yuan asked again, "Then how did your butler know about the Dao?" ”

Sun Yuwen said with a smile: "How do I know about the affairs of the people, Brother Lin, don't ask, follow me into the palace to face the saint." ”

Lin Yuan wanted to ask again, but Shen Wanqing pulled him aside and whispered: "I'll follow you to the palace, don't worry, I will only follow you to the door, I will come back when you enter the Forbidden City, and when you come back, we will discuss the leak." ”

So Xu Feng himself went to the Ryukyu embassy first, Shen Wanqing escorted Lin Yuan to the palace, Lin Yuan entered, and went directly to see Emperor Guangxu, Emperor Guangxu also heard the news of the recovery of Boli, and couldn't help asking: "Lin Aiqing, if we recover Boli, will we be able to abolish the treaty of the first emperor?" ”

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "Now is not the time, although the Western countries are intriguing and fighting each other, if we announce the abolition of the treaty, they should work together, and the abolition of the treaty must not be rushed." Emperor Guangxu smiled: "Okay, I'll listen to Lin Aiqing, Lin Aiqing came back this time, what's the matter?" ”

Lin Yuan said: "Do you still remember the ten years of Xianfeng, when Beijing was captured and the Old Summer Palace was burned down? ”

Emperor Guangxu's face sank, and he said: "This is a national shame, how dare you forget!" Lin Yuan said: "I have received reliable information that the Russian fleet has departed from Vladivostok, and if we can't prevent it in time, this scene is very likely to repeat!" ”

What Lin Yuan didn't expect was that Emperor Guangxu didn't panic at all, but smiled and said: "Lin Aiqing is too worried, if the Russian army wants to attack Beijing from the sea, it must go to Tianjin Dagu, but now Tianjin Dagu, there is a fierce general guarding it, Lin Aiqing can rest assured!" ”

Lin Yuan hurriedly asked, "I don't know who this fierce general is?" ”

Emperor Guangxu said with a smile: "This fierce general is Luo Rongguang, the chief soldier of Tianjin Town!" ”

Lin Yuan was surprised when he heard this name and said, "It turned out to be him!" Lin Yuanzhi said that this Luo Rongguang was a famous patriotic general of the Qing Army, and when the Eight-Nation Alliance invaded China, it was he who defended the Dagukou Fort and died heroically.

When Emperor Guangxu saw Lin Yuan's surprised look, he smiled and asked, "How is it?" You have also heard of him, he was promoted all the way to the post of chief soldier of Tianjin Town because of his meritorious service in exterminating the twisted bandits, and he was conscientious and meritorious in his office, and a few years ago the imperial court allocated a large sum of silver, and built dozens of forts at the mouth of Dagu, and bought all the British cannons! There are both sharp cannons and fierce generals, and Dagukou is impregnable, right? ”

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "This impregnable Dagukou Fort will not be captured by the Eight-Nation Alliance in the future!" So Lin Yuan said, "I'd better go there and have a look." ”

When Emperor Guangxu heard this, he said: "Okay, I will order you to be the minister of the Qin Mission, and personally inspect the Dagukou Fort." ”

Lin Yuan received the order, and then came out of the Forbidden City, Shen Wanqing was already waiting outside, and as soon as she saw Lin Yuan, she said: "I originally wanted to find the housekeeper in Sun Yuwen's mansion to understand the situation, but the housekeeper is not there, I have no choice but to come to you first." Lin Yuan said: "Okay, let's analyze how the news leaked." ”

Shen Wanqing said: "We first have to find out who knows the news that you want to go back to Beijing, and then start looking for them from these people." ”

Lin Yuan said: "There are only a few high-ranking generals on the army side, they are all members of the Beijing ship, there is definitely no possibility of leaking the news, although there are a few people in the staff department who know that I am not in Jilin, but they do not know that I want to return to Beijing." ”

Shen Wanqing asked, "What about the railway?" Is there any possibility that the people on the railroad know your whereabouts? ”

Lin Yuan said: "People who are on the same train as us also know my whereabouts. ”

As soon as Lin Yuan finished speaking, he shook his head and said, "Impossible, Sun Yuwen They are waiting for me at the station in advance, which means that they received the news in advance, and the people on the train have no radio, so it is impossible to inform them in advance." ”

Shen Wanqing asked: "So, the one who leaked the news must be the one who knew in advance that you were going to come back!" ”

Lin Yuan thought about it again and said, "Stationmaster, only the stationmaster knows the news that I am coming. ”

Lin Yuan explained: "At the beginning, in order to keep it secret, the stationmaster only knew when the Ludao train would come, but he didn't know what was loaded on the Ludao train. ”

Shen Wanqing asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Lin Yuan said: "The problem of transportation efficiency, for example, after the train transporting goods arrives at the station, it is necessary to organize people to unload the goods, and the train of the transport personnel needs to arrange the transport means to transfer personnel, if the station does not know anything, there is no way to prepare in advance, and the transportation efficiency is undoubtedly greatly reduced, so we will inform the stationmaster of the goods transported in advance for each time, so that he can prepare in advance, so they know what is loaded on the road car and who is on the car." ”

Shen Wanqing said: "The one who leaked the news should be the stationmaster, we can start with the stationmaster." ”

Lin Yuan said: "Okay, let's find the nearest check, first check the stationmaster of Beijing Station - Wang Yuding." ”

At this time, it was still early, and the two of them returned to Beijing to fight, and came directly to the stationmaster's room, and as soon as they walked to the door, they heard a voice from the room: "Look, I did this, Lin Shuai must thank me in my heart!" ”

Another voice said: "That's it, the stationmaster is smart, Lin Shuai is usually a low-key official, and he is most tired of ushering in the set that is being sent, so every time he travels, he doesn't let people know, this time you notified me in advance, and I will tell my master again, and my master will personally go to the station to greet him, so that the relationship between my master and Lin Shuai is closer." ”

When Shen Wanqing and Lin Yuan heard it outside the house, they immediately guessed the ins and outs of this matter, the person who spoke behind was Sun Yuwen's housekeeper, and the person who spoke in front was the stationmaster, and the stationmaster told the housekeeper the news that he was coming back in order to please Lin Yuan, so that people could come to greet him.

Shen Wanqing sighed helplessly, and whispered: "I thought I had caught the enemy again, but I didn't expect it, alas," said Lin Yuan, and said, "Let's go." ”

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Slow! I've got a clever idea to talk about when we get inside. ”

Without waiting for Shen Wanqing to ask again, Lin Yuan had already pushed open the door of the house and walked in, and said angrily: "Okay, you Wang Yuding, you are guilty!" ”
