Sun Yuwen from behind stepped forward and asked, "Who is this girl?"

Before Lin Yuan could speak, Shen Wanqing smiled and said, "My name is Shen Wanqing, and I'm a reporter from Kanto News."

Sun Yuwen cupped his hands lightly, and said with a smile: "I have long admired your name, if you have something to say, you might as well finish it, we will wait for a while."

Lin Yuan pulled Shen Wanqing a few steps into the distance, and asked, "Why did you follow me? Have you noticed anything wrong?"

Shen Wanqing frowned and said, "Think about it, how did they know that you were coming back? Since they can know, their subordinates will know. Once the news spreads, if the Japanese spies find out, on the way How about assassinating you?"

Lin Yuan didn't think of this either, so he said, "That's right, why didn't I think of it! I have already told the people on the station that it is strictly forbidden to disclose information about the military ranks. How did they know?"

Shen Wanqing said: "Quickly go and ask him."

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

Sun Yuwen smiled and said, "My housekeeper told me."

Lin Yuan asked again: "Then how did your housekeeper know?"

Sun Yuwen smiled and said: "How do I know about the servants, brother Lin, it's better not to ask, and follow me into the palace to face the saint."

Lin Yuan wanted to ask again, but Shen Wanqing pulled him aside and whispered: "I will follow you to the palace, don't worry, I will only follow you to the gate, and I will come back when you come back. , let’s discuss the matter of leaking the secret.”

So Xu Feng went to the Ryukyu embassy by himself first, and Shen Wanqing escorted Lin Yuan to the imperial palace. As soon as Lin Yuan entered, he went directly to see Emperor Guangxu. After regaining Khabarovsk, will the former emperor's treaty be abolished?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "Now is not the time. Although the Western countries are intriguing and discording with each other, if we announce the abolition of the treaty, they should work together. There is no need to be anxious about the abolition of the treaty." Emperor Guangxu laughed: "Then Okay, I'll just listen to Lin Aiqing, why is Lin Aiqing coming back this time?"

Lin Yuan said: "Do you still remember the incident in the tenth year of Xianfeng, when Beijing was captured and the Old Summer Palace was burned down?"

Emperor Guangxu's face darkened, and said: "This is a national humiliation, how dare you forget it!" Lin Yuan said: "I have received reliable news that the Russian fleet has set off from Vladivostok. If we can't prevent it in time, this scene is very likely to happen again!"

What Lin Yuan didn't expect was that Emperor Guangxu didn't panic at all. Instead, he laughed and said, "Lin Aiqing is too worried. If the Russian army wants to attack Beijing from the sea, it must go to Dagu, Tianjin. But there is a member of Dagu in Tianjin today. The fierce general guards, Lin Aiqing don't worry!"

Lin Yuan quickly asked: "I don't know who this fierce general is?"

Emperor Guangxu laughed and said, "This fierce general is Luo Rongguang, the commander-in-chief of Tianjin Town!"

Hearing the name, Lin Yuan said in surprise, "So it was him!" Lin Yuan knew that this Luo Rongguang was a famous patriotic general of the Qing army. When the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded China, he was the one who defended the Dagukou Fort and died heroically in the end.

Seeing Lin Yuan's surprised look, Emperor Guangxu asked with a smile, "How is it? You've heard of him, too. He made great achievements in suppressing the Nian bandits in his early years, and he was promoted to the post of general soldier in Tianjin Town all the way. He worked hard and made great achievements in his post. A few years ago, the imperial court allocated a large sum of money to build dozens of forts at Dagukou, all of which were British guns! There are powerful guns and strong generals, and Dagukou is as solid as gold, right?"

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "This impenetrable Dagukou Fortress will be captured by the Eight-Power Allied Forces in the future!" So Lin Yuan said, "I'd better go there and have a look."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Guangxu said: "Well, I will order you to be the imperial envoy to personally inspect the Dagukou Fortress."

After receiving the order, Lin Yuan came out of the Forbidden City. Shen Wanqing was already waiting outside. As soon as she saw Lin Yuan, she said, "I wanted to find out about the situation from the housekeeper of Sun Yuwen's residence, but that housekeeper No, I have no choice but to come to you first." Lin Yuan said: "Well, let's analyze how the news leaked."

Shen Wanqing said: "First of all, we need to find out who knows the news that you are going back to Beijing, and then start looking from these people."

Lin Yuan said: "Only a few senior generals in the army know that they are all members of the Beijing ship, and there is no possibility of leaking the news. Although some people in the staff know that I am no longer in Jilin, they don't know that I am not in Jilin. to return to Beijing."

Shen Wanqing asked: "What about the railway? Is there any possibility that the people on the railway 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 and the others waited for me at the station in advance, which means they received the news in advance, and the people on the train have no radio, so it is impossible to notify them in advance."

Shen Wanqing asked: "So, the person who leaked the news must be the person who knew in advance that you were coming back!"

Lin Yuan thought for a while and said, "Station Master, only the Station Master knows that I'm coming."

Lin Yuan explained: "At the beginning, in order to keep secret, the station master only knew when the train would come, but he didn't know what was on the train. Not only the station master, but no one in the whole station knew what was on the train. , but later, there were problems in doing so.”

Shen Wanqing asked, "What's wrong?"

Lin Yuan said: "The problem of transportation efficiency, for example, the train transporting goods needs to organize people to unload the goods after arriving at the station, and the train transporting personnel needs to arrange transportation means to transfer personnel. If the station does not know anything, it is impossible to prepare in advance. Efficiency is undoubtedly greatly reduced, so we inform the station master in advance of each shipment of goods, so that he can prepare in advance, so they know what is loaded on the car and who is on the car.”

Shen Wanqing said: "The one who leaked the news should be the station master, we can check from the station master."

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

At this time, it was still early, and the two of them returned to the battle in Beijing, and went directly to the station chief's office. As soon as they reached the door, they heard a voice from the room: "Look, if I do this, Lin Shuai must thank me in his heart." !"

Another voice said: "That's right, the station master is clever, Lin Shuai has always kept a low profile as an official, and he hates the routine of being greeted and sent, so every time you go out, you don't let others know. This time you notified me in advance, I will Then tell my master, my master will go to the station to meet him in person, in this way, the relationship between my master and Lin Shuai will be closer."

Shen Wanqing and Lin Yuan listened outside the house, and 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 station master. If he is far away, tell the butler that he is coming back, so that someone can come to meet him.

Shen Wanqing sighed helplessly, and said in a low voice: "At first I thought we had caught the enemy again, but I didn't expect, alas," she said, pulling Lin Yuan, and said, "Let's go."

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Slow down! I thought of a clever plan, let's talk about it after we go in."

Before Shen Wanqing could ask again, Lin Yuan had already pushed open the door and walked in, angrily said: "Well, Wang Yuding, you are guilty!"
