Chapter 204 The Assassination of Master Yan
ps: Okay, you guys are cruel, you guys are cruel, Ximen will have a life tonight
Then Wang Maoru appointed him as the secretary of the copywriting, responsible for handling some documents, and familiar with his work environment number to serve himself. A few days later, in order to test him, Wang Maoru paid Zhang Hongyang a special $500,000 for him to go to Shanghai to do business. Zhang Hongyang asked what to do in Shanghai, and Wang Maoru said: "Now other countries have given up the silver standard and chose the gold standard to make currency. A large amount of silver flows into China will inevitably cause the ocean to depreciate. You go to Shanghai to invest and buy a house. The more expensive the speculation, the better, but once the housing price doubles,
Then you make money and buy some machinery and equipment to bring it back to Hulun City. I want to open a flour mill, paper mill, power plant, iron ore mill, and wool mill in Hulun City. Also, in Hulunbuirdo Animal Husbandry, many cattle, sheep and horses are frozen to death every winter. These dead cattle, horses and herders cannot eat them, and they still have to break after spring, so they are still feeding wolves in the wild. I think this is better. See if there are any canning factories in Shanghai to buy out and move to Hulunbuir. In short, as long as it is a mechanical factory, you buy them and move to Hulunbuir."
When Zhang Hongyang took a group of guards to Shanghai, Wang Maoru learned that the whole city was martial law, so he asked what was going on. It turned out that it was the governor of Yunnan. Lieutenant General Cai E ran away. When he went to Japan for medical treatment, he fled to Shanghai. The infantry yamen was arresting Cai E's followers in the city. After hearing this, Wang Maoru shouted that Jiang Chaozong had no ability at all. He left and did not chase him. Instead, he dug three feet to find his followers. What is the difference between the thief who could bark when he walked away?
After a few days of tension, Jiang Chaozong felt that he had no face to see Yuan Shikai and resigned. Yuan Shikai did not make much trouble for him and asked him to be the general affairs officer of the Army University. Chen Guangyuan was appointed as the commander of the infantry yamen. Wang Maoru received a telegram and it started snowing in Hulunbuir this year. In Beijing, there was indeed an autumn rain followed by another autumn rain, dispelling the smell of manure on the street, so that everyone would not have to cover their mouths and noses when they traveled.
On this day, Yan Fu was invited to the guests. Yan Fu was a celebrity in the Beijing cultural circle. Yan Fu was dedicated to the study of Confucianism. Many Hanlin, Juren, and officials who were dismissed from previous dynasties also got together with him. Joining this Confucius Church was able to study knowledge and make money. Why not do it? These people were from private schools in the old days. Apart from studying the Four Books and Five Classics, writing eight-legged essays, and writing an article, there was really no other book to live. Yan Fu looked for them. He found the right person. These people were idle and frustrated, so that Yan Fu studied Confucian etiquette together, talked about the past and the present, and sometimes he was art of art. He went to the Eight Great Hutongs to listen to music and drink flowers and wine. Anyway, Yan Fu paid for it, and was not afraid of spending money himself.
Whose money did Yan Fu spend? His monthly salary is only 150 yuan. How can he afford to pay for the expenses of 30 or 50 people in the Confucius Church? All of this money was given by Wang Maoru. For him, Wang Maoru was not only a friend of his age, but also a God of Wealth. This time, Wang Maoru came to Beijing, so he had to let him know the comrades of the Confucius Church. Wang Maoru said, since he knew each other, don’t be stingy. We signed up for a restaurant and had a meal and drink with everyone, and it would be a fragile thing. Everyone immediately expressed their support.
Is it true that I have food, drink, take it, and Is it free? Prostitution, how could these literati and poets let it go? After eating, talking, and tossing until late at night, Wang Maoru gave each of the 100 yuan he participated in. Everyone was so happy that they said that all the famous Chinese generals had joined Wang Xiusheng and flattered him. Wang Maoru had a flaw, or a characteristic, and did not like others to flatter, but on the surface he pretended to be very happy, and sent him away, saying that everyone would praise himself more when he had the opportunity to write an article, and everyone agreed.
Some people got drunk that night and stayed there, while others left. Wang Maoru and Yan Fu ate some wine and said, let’s go to the Six Kingdoms Hotel, I booked a room for you to rest. You smelled of alcohol and rouge. After returning, the wife and children met. In short, it was not good. Yan Fu was addicted to alcohol and was not drunk. He said that he had been to the Six Kingdoms Hotel, but he had no chance to go there often. The steak there was good. Wang Maoru smiled and said, let’s go to the steak and Lao Baigan. Yan Fu, a scholar, clapped his hands and smiled and said, “Such a beautiful scenery is a good time to eat steak and Erguotou.”
When the two of them were taking a car to return to the Six Kingdoms Hotel, a rickshaw suddenly rushed out in front, and Wang Maoru's convoy immediately stopped. His car was in the middle, with the adjutant's car in front, the guard's car behind, and his special car in the middle. I found that several people rushed out of the roadside, and shot several times at the car, and the bullets broke the glass. Wang Maoru dodged and saw people appear in time, and immediately lay in the car. Yan Fu and a literati, who had encountered such a thing, shouted at a loss: "Kill, kill!" Then he shot a shot in the shoulder and fainted. The assassin fired three shots and immediately walked without any hesitation. Before the rest of the people could react, the assassin had disappeared without a trace.
The guard wanted to chase him, but Wei Dongling shouted: "Protecting the general is important, don't chase the poor enemy!" The guard hurriedly surrounded him. Wang Maoru kicked open the car door and jumped down. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Yun locked his red eyes and said: "Master, it's all my fault, it's all my fault. I'm not in the car behind, it's all my fault. Are you hurt?"
"I'm fine. Mr. Yan is injured. Hurry up for treatment." Wang Maoru said, "Convoy, go to the American hospital. Is this the nearest American hospital?"
"Yes, yes." Yun Suozhu had worked as a coolie in Beijing before, but he knew the terrain here and said quickly.
The assassination immediately caused the shock of President Yuan Shikai. At the feet of the emperor, the dignified major general of the army and the Senate were assassinated. What's so great? Yan Fu was the person who advocated Yuan Shikai's claim to be emperor at the Cultural Festival, and Wang Maoru has always been loyal and he will fight wherever he pointed. It can be said that these are two generals under Yuan Shikai, one civil and one military. At this time, he was assassinated at the same time. How could it not make Yuan Shikai angry?
Before Chen Guangyuan, the commander of the infantry yamen, had to lie out day and night to take all the police in the capital to find the murderer. He almost searched the streets and alleys, but there was still no trace.
At this time, Wang Maoru was visiting Yan Fu in the hospital, laughing and saying that Principal Yan has now become the nerve center of the country. Because you were shot, the whole country was searching for the murderer, which triggered a nationwide discussion on who the murderer was. Yan Fu smiled bitterly and said that he had offended someone again. A person who studied knowledge could still encounter assassination. Wang Maoru said, "It's okay, if you encounter too many things, you won't be surprised. I'm counting now, I'm used to it. I've seen you hide faster than a cat. I'm sorry, I'm old man, and I'm old, and I almost died in this situation." Wang Maoru said, "There will be more stories from now on. Yan has a few thrilling stories to protect General Shangwu with his life." Yan Fu said, "I hope the story is General Shangwu with his life to protect Master Yan." The two looked at each other and laughed.
Chen Guangyuan, the new infantry yamen commander, found nothing, but the former commander, Jiang Chaozong, found some clues, which made the case progress.
The infantry yamen was the old team of Jiang Chaozong. Chen Guangyuan still couldn't accept his subordinates when he first arrived. Jiang Chaozong found that a group of students who had returned from Japan had lived in an inn for three days. They ran away early the morning of the second day of the assassination and went south to Shanghai. This group of people was quite suspicious and was very likely to be a killer sent by the Ministries. In recent years, the Ministries failed to do anything else, and the assassination was even more exciting. So Jiang Chaozong met Yuan Shikai and stated that it was the Ministries' work. Seeing this, Yuan Shikai also felt that it was too rash to withdraw Jiang Chaozong, so he transferred Jiang Chaozong to continue to lead the infantry yamen. So Chen Guangyuan only served as the commander of the infantry yamen for thirteen days and stepped down. After Jiang Chaozong came back, he immediately began to make arrangements. In order for the president to successfully proclaim himself emperor, the whole city of Beijing was alert.
After being assassinated, Wang Maoru was even more careful, but received a marriage post from a former colleague of Peking University. This colleague Wang Maoru couldn't even name it. He had only been in Peking University for half a year and had not even cleaned his office much. However, under the instigation of his friend, this colleague wanted to give it a try, so he posted an invitation. The name of the invitation was: Mr. Wang Maoru Xiusheng, a former friend of Peking University professor, and Mr. Wang Maoru was so funny after receiving the invitation. The relationship was better. Since Yuan Keding remarried, Beijing City dignitaries either married concubines or children. Now it is popular in Beijing to get married, so everyone is getting married, and he is so angry that he can't get married by himself. Tang Baoqi went abroad and went to the United States.
His subordinates immediately advised him not to attend the wedding in the house. What if there is any further assassination? Wang Maoru thought for a moment and said, "Why would something happen if he met his former colleague? Besides, if he didn't go, he would be scolded as a nobleman behind his back and forgot about his affection. The literati is not a martial artist. At most, the martial artist can say that you are not righteous. This literati complains behind his back and is more cautious than a woman. Fortunately, the wedding of the old colleague he attended was not the first marriage but the second marriage, so he did not have a big feast. The two of them were in the same restaurant and invited colleagues, friends and relatives, which was a swearing and an advertisement. However, the people who came here were all from the Beijing Cultural Festival, and even the president of Peking University is Hu Renyuan, who is now present to congratulate him.
When Peking University President Hu Renyuan saw Wang Maoru, he laughed and said that Mr. Xiusheng left Peking University and lost a professor, but had another general. You are the first general to come out of Peking University. Wang Maoru also laughed out loud, and the two talked about the recent changes in Peking University. Although they met for the first time, Wang Maoru respected all the past Peking University presidents, and they made indelible contributions to the Chinese cultural industry. As the two talked, when it came to the government trend, Hu Renyuan didn't care who would be the emperor and president. In other words, he was a good man, so he could get along with the government. At the same time, he also played an important role in protecting traditional Chinese culture in ancient China. During his tenure as Peking University president, he hired Gu Hongming, Liu Shipei, Yao Zhongshi, Chen Shiyi, Huang Jigang and other Hanlins of the previous dynasty, and the great scholars and others to be professors of Peking University, which really made Peking University more full of literary atmosphere.
