Years of the Republic of China 1913

Volume 1 The Times of Trouble Chapter 116 Ashes

Song Jiaoren sent Liao Zhongkai here. Firstly, he was the party involved at Haihai Railway Station. Secondly, although Liao Zhongkai did not care about law and order in zhengfu, he was one of the directors of kt. It has not been a short time, but the case has been under investigation both within KT and Zheng Fu. && Liao Zhongkai's status in the party is not low, and he has a good relationship with Song Jiaoren and Huang Xing. In addition, this matter needs to be kept secret for the time being. to investigate.

As for Yuan Shikai, at first Fang Zida always thought that the person behind the train station case was Yuan Shikai, but after contacting Yuan Shikai in the past two years and carefully analyzing the complicated relationship between the confrontation and cooperation between the Beiyang faction and kt , it can be concluded that Yuan Shikai would never do such a stupid thing.Of course, it cannot be ruled out that some people in the Beiyang Department have played tricks behind the scenes in the name of Yuan Shikai, but after many investigations, no one can be found out, and after the case happened, all those directly related to it were strangely imprisoned. Death, only Hong Shuzu fled, and thus disappeared in the hiding concession.

It stands to reason that the person in charge of police affairs across the country is the former Premier Zhao Bingjun, and Yuan Shikai should send someone if he wants to.But because Zhao Bingjun was also one of the suspects in this case, in order to avoid suspicion, Yuan Shikai sent Yang Du over.

Both Yang Du and Liao Zhongkai were very smart people. When they learned that the killer was probably Yin Ruizhi, they both thought of a terrible answer while being shocked. They looked at each other silently, and neither of them spoke.

"Brother Xizi, brother Zhongkai, I will hand over this matter to you. If you need my help, just ask." Fang Zida broke the dull atmosphere and said.

Yang Du nodded slightly, and said, "Can the attendant who recognized Yin Ruizhi be handed over to me?"

"That's impossible!" Fang Zida refused, "However, if necessary, I can ask him to cooperate, but the ugly words come first, and my people must be safe. No matter whether it is the presidential palace or the government, we must not leak him." identity of."

Think about it for a while.Yang Du felt that he could accept it, then looked at Liao Zhongkai, and asked, "Brother Zhongkai, what do you think?"

"Yes!" Liao Zhongkai agreed, Fang Zida did nothing wrong, on the contrary, he still appreciates the choice to protect his subordinates in this situation.

"That's it. We will take over the case directly. Brother Zhongkai, after we handle it, we will report to Beijing separately?" Yang Du suggested, and Liao Zhongkai had no objection. The two got up at the same time and hurriedly arranged to go.

Wait until the matter at the police station is finished.After reporting to the Presidential Office and the Prime Minister's Office, Fang Zida specially called Jiang Zhiqing and asked some questions in front of Yang Du and Liao Zhongkai.Although Jiang Zhiqing is not well-known, Yang and Liao still know him. They know that Jiang Zhiqing is Chen Qimei's brother-in-law, and Chen Qimei has a deep relationship with the Restoration Society. Reiz is also very normal.After careful questioning, he responded to what Fang Zida said about the situation at the time.I think Jiang Zhiqing's words can still be believed.

The gun case in front of the hotel soon caused a shock in Tianjin.All major newspapers published news of the incident.However, due to the timely response and the secrecy work, the press has not yet known who the specific person who died, who the specific shooter was, and why they killed a person in such a violent way in public.to this end.All the major newspapers wrote articles to speculate wildly on this matter, and some said it was a vendetta.Some said it was a fight between gang members, and some said it was a grievance between a wealthy family... Some tabloids even made up the fact that the deceased was a German spy.There are all sorts of bizarre stories about the murderer being an agent of the Allied Powers, and all kinds of rumors are flying all over the sky for a while.

Because of the sudden occurrence of the gun case, Fang Zida’s departure date was postponed for two days. On the third day, Fang Zida bid farewell to Yang Du and Liao Zhongkai who were still investigating, because he wanted to return to Beijing as soon as possible to make arrangements, and then went back to Beijing. Going to the sea for official business.

On the train back to Beijing, Fang Zida was not as relaxed as before. In his luxury box, sitting across from Jiang Zhiqing who was a bit tired.

"Ruiyuan, what do you think about this?"

Jiang Zhiqing didn't seem to have slept well these days, his eyes were dark circles, and he was in a trance. The first time Fang Zida asked him, he didn't seem to hear him in a daze, and he didn't react until he asked him again.

"I don't know, my mind is very confused now..." Jiang Zhiqing shook his head, and then suddenly remembered something: "Thank you, President!"

"Thank me?" Fang Zida was taken aback by this thoughtless thank you.

"Thank you for not handing me over to the presidential palace and the government." Jiang Zhiqing thanked him sincerely.

"Hehe, that's it, Rui Yuan, you don't have to be polite. You are mine now, and what is Fang Zida doing if your own people can't take care of me? Besides, this incident is just a coincidence. It is already my fault to get you involved." That's wrong, why don't you say thank you." Waving his hand, Fang Zida smiled.

"Thank you for that." Jiang Zhiqing said gratefully.

"Forget it, it's meaningless to thank you, but Ruiyuan, I always feel that you seem to have something on your mind, can you tell me?"

Zhiqing hesitated for a while, then sighed, "Okay, since the president wants to hear it, then I'll talk about it."

Fang Zida guessed right, Jiang Zhiqing did have thoughts.Chen Qimei has a deep relationship with the Restoration Society. Speaking of Yin Ruizhi and Chen Qimei are also related, it was Chen Qimei who introduced Yin Ruizhi to Tao Chengzhang of the Restoration Society.But later, due to different political opinions, Chen Qimei and Tao Chengzhang turned their faces. The two were like fire and water. It was quite a sensation, and none other than Jiang Zhiqing presided over the assassination.

After Tao Chengzhang's death, Jiang Zhiqing avoided the limelight and went to Japan because he was worried about revenge from Yin Ruizhi and others, and did not return to China until later.It can be said that Yin Ruizhi and Jiang Zhiqing are not familiar with each other. Jiang Zhiqing never expected to encounter a shooting scene in a restaurant, and the person who got the final thunderous blow would be Yin Ruizhi. Thinking of what happened to Tao Chengzhang back then, He couldn't help his eyelids twitching.

It wasn't just this that surprised Jiang Zhiqing even more. Yin Ruizhi's attack made him suddenly recall one thing, that is Chen Qimei's desperate laughter when she was lying in ambush in Shiliupu Pier and the words she left when she died.For a moment, a terrifying thought flashed through Jiang Zhiqing's mind, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became.

"Are you guessing...?" Fang Zida asked solemnly.

"Don't say it!" Jiang Zhiqing shook his head and said, "I just hope that my guess is wrong. If this is the answer, I... I really don't know if I will believe it."

Nodding silently, Fang Zida didn't try to force him. He didn't say a word about it anymore, lay down, closed his eyes gradually, and fell asleep slowly with the rhythmic sound of the train.

At this time, in the Prime Minister's Office of Beijing, Prime Minister Song Jiaoren and two people were sitting in the office. What was placed in front of him was a telegram sent by Liao Zhongkai from Tianjin, the content of which shocked everyone present.

"Could it be...Could it be..." Tang Shaoyi muttered to herself, and looked at Song Jiaoren with astonished eyes: "Could it be that he did it? Why did he do it? Huang Keqiang and him are life and death brothers !"

"Brother Shaochuan, although this matter is still uncertain, the only doubts now point to him. So what about brother life and death? Didn't the whole world still spread that this was done by me, Zhao? There are not a few people who believe it Ah!" The person who spoke was Zhao Bingjun, the former Prime Minister of the State Council. The death of Hong Shuzu completely took off his hat as the mastermind behind the scenes, but his expression was not at all relaxed, and his expression was even more serious than Tang Shaoyi.

"Impossible! Fang Zhangming's people must have misread it! Yes! It must be so!" Tang Shaoyi still couldn't think of the reason why that person assassinated Huang Xing, because it didn't make any sense!To comfort himself, he suddenly thought of this and stood up a little excitedly.

"Don't be naive, Brother Shaochuan, Zhong Kai is not a reckless person, and he will not report like this if he is not sure. Besides, Fang Zhangming was there at the time, and he would not make random decisions based on his character. In addition, as far as I know, the President I also got a report from Yang Xizi over there, which is exactly the same as Zhong Kai's. Could it be that so many people will wrong him? Besides, Huang Keqiang's case is complicated and confusing, and there may be other strange things in it." After finishing speaking, Zhao Bingjun turned his attention to the Song Jiaoren, who spoke out, seemed to be asking something.

Song Jiaoren frowned while sitting, stood up after a long time, walked to the desk, opened the drawer that had been locked, and took out a piece of paper from it.

"This is not..." Tang Shaoyi looked at the piece of paper suspiciously. He remembered clearly that this was what Chen Qimei left behind before his death.The three big "hate" characters flying like flying phoenixes on the face seem to be dripping with blood.

"After the incident at the train station, I kept thinking, I'm afraid that Keqiang died for me. The killer really wanted to kill Keqiang, not me. If Fang Zhangming hadn't made a timely move that day, I, Song Jiaoren, would have been dead in this world long ago. Yes. I have kept this word by Chen Yingshi, and I have been thinking about it..." Song Jiaoren smiled bitterly.Zhao Bingjun's complexion changed drastically when he heard the words, and his body was trembling. If Song Jiaoren's conjecture was true, it would be too appalling. If Song Jiaoren was not Huang Keqiang who died at that time, Zhao Bingjun would have his mouth covered all over his body. It's not clear, after all, Zhao Bingjun was the prime minister at the time, and Song Jiaorenbei's goal was to form a cabinet....

Tang Shaoyi was also stunned, she just felt pain in her mouth, she couldn't say anything, and she didn't know what to do for a while.

"In my opinion, this matter is over like this. So what if he did it? Now there is no evidence, no witnesses, just guessing and someone's specious identification?" Song Jiaoren shook his head, swiped I lit the paper with a match, and in the light of the fire, the three big hate characters were burned to ashes in a blink of an eye.To be continued. .
